[Vibrant General] Owenv:
it is simple to do in launcher pro, if you want to retain the touchwiz launcher it involves some renaming (or deleting) of files that requires root access.

Alternatively you could just use titanium backup to completely remove the apps, however you should only remove apps that you are certain are safe to remove and you should make a backup beforehand.
[Vibrant General] lazylilsnoop:
launcher pro? is it from the market apps?

sorry, im new to this device
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Yes it is, It is called "LauncherPro" - one word :)

It is a great launcher & is very customizable

Once on the home screen of LauncherPro follow these steps:

1.) Hit the "Menu" key

2.) Select "Preferences"

3.) Select "General Settings"

4.) Select "Hidden Apps"

5.) Select the apps that you don't want to show, e.g; "Amazon MP3"
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
lazy,

take a read through the stickie at the top of this section. It will give you various options depending on how adventurous you want to be. A key term for you to keep your eye out for is "bloatware" IE all the junk apps that are preloaded usually by the service provider.

As the above poster said launch pro is a great launcher alternative. I personally use ADWL as my launcher. They are both free and available in the market. You may want to root your phone and fully rid yourself of the bloatware. Its not hard but will take some time to understand the process.
[Vibrant General] Master™:
There is actually a one-click-program for that, all you do is hook your phone up to your computer && run the app :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wesie:
Hi all,

my Vibrant contains the FirmW JFD and the 3 key's combo doesn't work(blocked)

My question is:

Does any official FW from Samsung contains also the Bootloader? IF yes, which one?

I think, that the phone does not bricked, if the Bootloader and the right FW will be flashed at the same time.

Does someone has checked, if the partition have the same seize on e.g. the Vibrant, Capazity and "normal" i9000 (16Gb) ?
[Droid 2 General] vampireincubi:
I bought my g/f a d2 and she has successfully enveloped her entire self in it, lol. And this from having only a trac phone b4 :D I knew she'd love it.

And now my question:

She managed to get the set up done by herself..entirely..

She created a gmail acct on the PC and everything except for her calendar syynced. When I attempt to add a calendar acct there isn't the option 2do so when selecting her existing acct. And when attempting to "add acct" it takes me to a screen that asks if I want to add or if I have existing acct.

Tap on existing and fill in username/pw it tells me there is already an acct under this name!! Of course there is I selected EXISTING acct!

.....basically her phone won't allow her to edit info on her calendar because it thinks she doesn't have a calendar acct. But won't let her use her existing gmail she started the phone with.

Any ideas?

[Droid X Themes and Apps] onelifexv:
Now that I'm running a 2.2 blur-less ROM (RubiX), I'm using the actual Facebook App again instead of the Blur social networking. However, when I open the Facebook app, I don't get the option to sync contacts anymore. My Droid 1 running the same exact facebook app does, so I'm guessing it's some sort of build.prop check that it does on whether to hide the sync or not.

Is there any build.prop solution to get this to re-appear?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] groovejedi:
Here's what I did.

First I removed any Facebook account from contacts.

Then, uninstalled the native Android Facebook app.

Next, created the account again for facebook contact sync (the one that comes with the DX).

Waited 30 minutes for all pix/contacts to sync.

Re-installed native facebook app.

My guess is that you'll still have a few issues but give that a try and see what happens.

i just bought new touch pro 2 to replace my old i900 and i very worry with video player. i use core player to play video on my old i900 very good but the same video player and video clip on touch pro 2 is very laggly.

i hear that the video convert tool can fix this probleam so that it not use everytime because converting video take along time.

who did try exporting i900 or i8000 video drive and put it in to touch pro 2 to improve video quality?

sorry if everybody can't understand my thinking because my english is very bad.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
If you can't play your video's decent, then it's a rom problem. You can also search to see if the settings that you use for coreplayer are correct.

i understand what you mean, yes some video in specific container format and resolution do choppy when played using coreplayer. until now the solution still using converter and then play using windows media player.

to port video drive to be used in tp2 is possible, but i don't know how. yet, there's no guarantee that even when using that program (video drive) the video playing will not be choppy... will never knew for sure until someone try
[Android Software Development] Kagedin:
Alright so first off, this is my first attempt at creating an application/widget for android. I'm better at the design aspect than the actual coding, but would like to learn how to develop apps for future projects. I am attempting to make an analog clock widget that will provide weather information in the center of the clock.

The weather info would include A) Graphic indicating the weather condition B)Current Temperature C) Name of current location.

In the future I would like to implement other features to this clock however, I believe that for now what I have listed is more within grasp. Now I've read the developers guide (majority of it) and have successfully created the analog clock part of it (because it's really easy lol) however, when it comes to creating the weather part I am having some real difficulties. Attached is a mock up of the clock to give you an idea of the final product, remember the clock works fine but the weather doesn't also the text seen in the picture was added later in Photoshop but shows what I want it to end up looking like. Also the graphic in the middle will change according to the current condition.

I've been attempting to use Jeff Sharkey's Forecast Widget found here, as a general starting point for the weather, but I've been running into issues. First of all when just using his base script with a little alteration (mostly renaming package and import stuff) the widget doesn't load it just says "Forecast Error." And even though it's a tutorial there are some things I'm just not getting and is causing some major headaches lol. So I'm not sure if this is a good starting off point.

Alright, now I have no real idea how to get the weather part working lol. That being said, I would appreciate some help/advice with getting this going. First of all I would like to know how (or at least get pointed in the right direction) to get the weather working. I don't really know where to start for the weather though and it's causing lots of frustration and wasted hours. I know I'm a noob at this but I am willing to learn lol so please any help or advice at all would be appreciated. I've been trying this on my own for the last few days but have gotten nowhere.

Here are some things I would like to specifically know.

A) How to get the text to display current location and temp and how to place it where its at in the example

B) How to have the graphics changed according to current weather condition

C) How to give it basic weather widget functionality (ie: on setup choose location or search location, click on widget to give 3 day forecast etc...)

Thank you again for any help/advice/comments

I'm Just wondering If I update to 2.2 will my phone lock again or once it's unlocked it's always stay unlocked even if i do a hard reset >?
[Captivate General] spradling:
I haven't updated to 2.2 yet so don't take my word, but I've read that it re-locks and disables the easy way to find the unlock code.

But, if you write down your unlock code before updating to 2.2 and then enter it again in 2.2 you're good to go :)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Definitely save your unlock code somewhere so that you can re-use it if it re-locks. My phone has gone through JH7 update then Froyo update and stayed unlocked. But others do claim theirs get locked again.

Regardless, your unlock code should be the same because it is sololy based on you IMEI number.
[Captivate General] bdbsubscribe:
so, is the general consensus that once you're on JH7 you can no longer get the unlock code? or did i miss the 'how to' thread for that?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
JH7 is still 2.1 ROM and it is still possible to get the unlock code (a little bit more efforts than stock JF6). 2.2 ROMs are impossible to get unlock code as far as I know.
[Captivate General] MarcianoS:
The following is pure speculation---feel free to object :-)

It *may* be the case that, once the official Froyo update is rolled out, an unocked phone will stay unlocked. I assume that somewhere in the internal file system is a file that keeps track of the network lock status of the phone. The unofficial JI6 ROM may have been an image or backup taken from a locked phone; in this case it makes sense that the network lock will be restored upon flashing that image. But, in an official update, this may be avoided.

On the other hand, I have seen posts mentioning that not only was the phone relocked upon flashing JI6---the old unlock code itself was apparently rejected! I find this both puzzling and worrisome: I do want to upgrade to Froyo when the official update arrives, but I also need my phone to stay unlocked.

BTW, I updated to JH7 OTA and the phone stayed unlocked.
[Captivate General] bdbsubscribe:
Ive got no issues with a little more effort – just not quite sure how to go about it. Would you be good enough to either fill me in or direct me to a thread where i can figure it out?

Thanks!
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have flashed my phone a few times - JH7, JI6 (2.2); and now back to stock with JH7.

My phone is locked and the original lock code dos not work.

According to a post on Cyanogen's forum - I can take the existing stuff in BML3 file:

SSNV´'šù..Jøý.—.~n.•öVÚðÜž|.hÿ6*§ÒùF....Gmñ.¾E.¸Øoß’.Öµ.†.ˆì..Á.ñ-*y!96Ý.FFFFFFFF........................00100100101#31015031017031118031041031098099999#

And replace the FFFFFFFF with my 8 digit unlock code and push this file back to the phone.

Has anyone tried this?
[Captivate General] bdbsubscribe:
not too bad at all - for those with the same question see

/showthread.php?t=789888&page=3
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
My phone stays unlocked even after JI6 flashing. I have no idea why others get locked again. Maybe they never unlocked properly when they were still using 2.1 ROM.

i updated my firmware to 2.2 froyo rooted thanks to senior member last night and it never asked for the unlock code ever again
[Captivate General] ag4vr:
Save your unlock code!

Every time I've flashed a new ROM I've had to re-unlock the phone. Supposedly other people have not had to re-unlock, so it sounds like a case of YMMV.
[Captivate General] justmde:
I had my phone unlocked and working fine overseas. Got back could not wait so put froyo on. I thought the unlock would stay it did not. But i had the codes so no worry. I tried twice the codes from before but they did not take. So going to get a cheap tmob prepay sim and try that did not want to kill my other good sim. I will let you know how that works. If any one has any ideas please let me know.

Edit: got brave put it the sim from Japan again after flashing cog beta 4 and did not ask for unlock code. So i guess it works,somehow. Ill still get the tmob sim tomorrow and try. But looks good now.

Hello guys,

Please help me out. I have an amoled desire and a slcd one also.

The slcd is S-OFF and not branded, and when I try to flash via bootloader the .zip file it keeps me telling me CID wrong (this was the method I used with the amoled desire and worked)

Please any help will be highly appreciate it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Not if you've since rooted it and run a custom ROM - this is why I always make sure I know what I've got originally so I can always fall back on something if need be...

Having said that, if you wanna go back to stock then follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256

If it doesn't work then it sounds like it might be a branded phone as I'm sure a CID error is due to not using a gold card

Is there a way to know if the sd card i have is a goldcard??
