There is a new version, see first post (major changes: Facebook sync).
[Android Apps and Games] Wobstar:
great app!

thanks for ad-free option!

Facebook synchronization don't work

Checking birthdays (583/583)

No birthdays to synchronize was found?
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
It could be. Not all your facebook friends has birthday set. I guess not all exists in your phone contacts (in current version synchronization doesn't create new contacts). And rest may have already set a correct birthday date.

So, there is nothing to do.
[Android Apps and Games] pjopp1:
I check my contacts and i see birthday on my Facebook contact. (Only day and month)
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
And new version again. Fix only. See first post.
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
[q]

This sounds like an interesting app. I have a few questions:

The main difference in free vs paid is the ability to manage lists, could you please explain what this means

The app can sync both gmail & facebook birthdays...does this mean that the facebook birthday information can be imported into your gmail contacts info

In a previous post you mentioned that the widget is updated once daily, will this app run in the background without having the widget active
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
In paid version you also can:

- add/modify/delete birthdays, anniversaries and custom events for gmail contacts (also with additional info like icon for custom events)

- maintain own (not synced with gmail contacts) database of various events

Yes. Currently this work only for existing gmail contacts. Unfortunately for dates without years syncing with gmail doesn't work (you will have this date on device but not in gmail account)

No. It never works in the background all the time. It is activated:

- at boot time (to refresh reminder),

- at reminder time (if was set),

- just after midnight (if widget is active).

Always the short time needed to collect events.
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
Couple of follow up questions:

In paid version you also can:

- add/modify/delete birthdays, anniversaries and custom events for gmail contacts (also with additional info like icon for custom events)

- maintain own (not synced with gmail contacts) database of various events​

Does this mean that if the event (birthday, anniversaries, etc) isn't already stored with the gmail contact you can not add an event to the gmail contact through the free version of the app? Ex. If I wanted to an say an anniversary I would have to modify the gmail contact info first before it would show up?

No. It never works in the background all the time. It is activated:

- at boot time (to refresh reminder),

- at reminder time (if was set),

- just after midnight (if widget is active).

Always the short time needed to collect events.​

Correct me if I am wrong but will notifications only be presented if you tell the app to remind you? After installing and syncing will it auto notify me of all the events for a contact or do I have to go into the app and for each contact say remind me of the specific event?

New Question:

What does the app sync against? Is it syncing all gmail contacts and all facebook contacts that have an event entery or is it syncing against only the contacts that are displayed in your addressbook on the phone? If it is the later can you go in and manually add contacts from facebook or gmail that aren't displayed to the app so that notifications of their events will be displayed?
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
Yes, it is a basic limitation of free version, only show.

You don't set reminder for each contact or event. There is only one reminder which show you incoming events at specified by you time (once a day). You can also sleep this reminder for a period of time.

Application uses contacts from phone addressbook (all synced by native syncing). If contact is an gmail contact, then you can manage events assigned to this contact. So, there is not direct connect to GMail account. Facebook thing is different. App is connecting to your facebook account and syncing dates with existing on phone gmail contacts. This is for now. I plan to add the ability to add contacts from Facebook into your phone contacts (in free version) and/or to external storage (in paid version) if you don't want to create regular contact.

Nice app
[Android Apps and Games] camro:
well, doesn't support to read the birthday from exchange account :(

possible to support this ?
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
Not in near future, i have no access to exchange server from android device so i can't "look at this"

[Android Apps and Games] argetlam1:
Syncing contacts from Facebook gives me the following error as a toast notification:

The page could not be opened because the URL is invalid.

Also using the latest version of app from the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
Hmm, check your data connection, maybe it's broken?
[Android Apps and Games] argetlam1:
It isn't. I am on an unlimited data plan. And it's working flawlessly with other apps.

Hi,

Think the widget is working bad for me. I can only see 2 ballons and the days remaining for the next birdthday. It's possible to show the picture from the contact like the screenshot?

Thanks

PD: Nice App
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
This is not days to next birthday but number of events in next x days (x from settings). In full version you have also bigger widget with photos and full info.

[Android Apps and Games] saurabhrendale:
great aaplet, i m using Birthday Reminder GLite v 1. 2. 0, please tell me do i need to add every one's birthday manually ? i can see reminders which have already added, just want to know if i could see birthdays already listed in facebook ?

sorry i used the quote link, i was not able to post through quick reply
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
In fact while i'm updating sources i saw that this dialog wasn't change (probably cos this code). So, should works right now.

Generally you must add birthday somewhere ;). About fb, you must run Facebook synchronization from menu. But you should update to v1.4 then you also can add person who isn't in gmail and/or match manually contacts if their have different name on facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] ieskub:
thanks mate
[Android Apps and Games] camro:
i tested amount ~20 apps for birthday and there was only1 app which is really working wiith events (birthday as i like it)

it is falure free and is up2date after every change (also exhcange account, etc..)

this app is called: "DW contact manager Pro" (there is afree version also)

but every cent worth !!!

and i know, that with that app you can replace the standard "contacts" app !!!

in every case !

groups

Hi,

This seems to be exactly the application which I want; It's very nice and usefull; Congrats for you idea and work for the app;

I have one issue: It can see only my contacts which have birthday AND are inside "Favorites" group;

All my contacts are, by default, in "My Contacts" group; I have made a test: I have added a person in a new created group : "Contacts" and when I opened B.R. GLite that new person appeared; I removed it from the "Contacts" group, remining only in "My Contacts" default/unchangable group and when I opened the application, my contact disappeared; The same with "Favorites" group : when the contact is inside the group, Birthday Reminder finds that contact, otherwise not;

So my question is: What am I doing wrong ? Can I "inform" the application to "search" for birthdays in a specific group? (in my case: "My Contacts" )

And one additional question regarding general functionality:

supposing that I do some modifications online in contacts.google.com and I add a birthday for a new contact; My phone, having access to internet and auto-sync enabled, will immediately update that contact with the new birthday; The question is: Will Birthday Reminder GLite detect that some updates were made in the contact list ? Will the application notice me regarding the birthday of the new updated contact without manually opening it and "forceing" it to "scan" the contacts?

Thank you,

BR,

Adrian
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
It's good question. From code, it takes events from "visible groups" and i rememeber in the past i could choose which groups are visible. But now (in Android 4.0.4) i can't do that so i must care about this.

Yes, reminder always loads fresh data from system database.
[Android Apps and Games] adynis:
Hi,

Thanks for the answer;

Regarding 2th issue, very nice; It's very important and helpful :)

Regarding 1st issue, please suggest me what should I do. Currently it only finds 4 contacts, the ones from Favorites group; What should I do to make it work properly ?

Thank you,

BR,

Adrian
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
Please tell me which android version and device name. You can try Menu->Settings in Contacts to find any settings for groups (like Visible groups or something like that). I will look in source codes, maybe i miss something.
[Android Apps and Games] adynis:
Ahh, I missed (again) to specify my sw/hw details; it's about a galaxy S2 with android 4.0.3; I'm using the default contacts app and unfortunately I can not find any interesting option, especially for "My Contacts" which has also the name as read only;

I keep my contacts in the google account, not on the phone, but the groups are the same;

Any hint which could guide me to the correct direction is welcome :)

Thank you,

BR,

Adrian
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcof2005:
I am here today because I need help. I want to root for 1st time ever, but I have a Mac. I hear about all of the great things I can do with my Vibrant after rooting but I am scared of trying this without a PC. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Also lead me to the best roms. Thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opiate46:
Well my first suggestion would be to get a PC :P

But seriously, you could always get a copy of XP somewhere (pretty easy to get for free), or a later Windows OS and dual-boot your system.

Or you could just dl Ryanza's lag fix from the market and root it that way.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You do not need a pc.

Download the file to your phone, put it on the root sdcard/ and go into stock recovery and flash it.

Afterwards, get rom manager and make a backup.

Flash a rom, bionix or eugene's

This is all in the general section sticky I made. EVERYTHING you need is there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slighpcs:
Take a look at this post. I would recommend you pull the latest version, su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip, from this thread instead of "SGH-959 Root Update.zip" from the 1st link. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcof2005:
slighpcs-

I have taken your advice but my phone has only installed the Superuser app. I am scared that if I do anything else I will brick my phone. Is there a way to unroot it? I would like to try rooting again with the non PC version. Thank you
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Download rom manager

Flash clockwork recovery

make a nandroid backup.

Now you have something you can always revert to.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slighpcs:
Yes sir, that's exactly what you should have after successfully completing the process. To unroot from your device take a look here. View the Full thread (Page 1) to perform via adb. I don't see any reason you need to worry yourself about bricking. Unless your planning on testing kernels, ROMs, etc... If that's the case, make sure you read the entire thread before you make any decisions, and ask questions as it seems that most everyone here is willing to lend a hand.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boystuff:
search ryanza on market place. download the free version you can root and unroot from there simple instructions very easy to understand.

download rom manager (it auto installs superuser also) from market place also free download. that will allow you to make backups and restore should you encounter any problems.

also if your running OSX you can dual boot from Bootcamp windows, and if your running atleast a core 2 duo system you can dual boot windows 7/Vista 64bit.

A pc is needed for almost no modification when it comes to this phone.

I had to put effort into bricking my phone so you should be fine, just make sure if you have installed the OTA that any themes you install support the JI6 update. thats the only way i bricked my phone lol, and again that was a easy fix. Read read read so much to learn.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcof2005:
Thank you everyone for your help. I have succesfully rooted my phone. I think I will wait for the 2.2 OTA update since I hear that they are slowing coming around for the galaxy S phones. I want to try the bionix rom but I do not want to install it to soon and miss out on my chance to get the OTA update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluekornchips:
So after yesterdays Clockwork debocle(and current for some, including me occasionally still) I tried multiple different ROM's.

I can restore through clockwork(doesn't say Nandroid though, says Backup and Restore) but I have to "Update" the PB13MG.zip through the bootloader everytime I reboot. Cyanogen loads fine but I can't add any themes to it, like IncRevo. After I do add I get into a bootloop

I really want to run Cyanogen with either ManUps original theme or IncRevo.

What should I do?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbu:
Flash the last version of clockwork recovery before the update.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jermaine151:
Hey blue, no offense, but this is the wrong forum to post these types of questions. It's for development threads.

That said, It sounds like you flashed the latest version and it caused you issues. Try ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5.

You can download it here

EDIT: I suggest that one because that's what I'm running without issue.

[HD2 General] ronzogonzo:
Well,

Like most everyone else, I tried to get the SD card replacement to no avail. I tried a few times and got a few different reasons why " it's not the card".

I beg to differ because I decided to purchase one of hopefully a better read/write capability and found a 16Gb Transcend Class 6 @ newegg.com for 62 bucks (US) delivered.

Put a backup of the original card on my pc, copied to the new card, popped it in and first thing I tried was the notoriously slow loading Sense music player. Now I have to say that I have had no major issues with my phone and I've already tweaked it with most of the performance enhancing tweaks mentioned in the performance thread and the music player usually took from anywhere between 7 to 11 seconds to load and now it loads in under 2 seconds! I know that class 6 does not necessarily mean faster, and I am not endorsing Transcend's quality. But I am saying that the 16Gb Sandisk (class 2) that came with the phone just doesn't get the job done.

That being said, you may want to try a sd card of better quality which you should determine by your own due diligence. I took a shot with the Transcend and got noticeable improvements. And like most commercials you may have heard....."results may vary" :eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimab:
Hi there,

These two topics I was wondering about and haven't found any answer here.

I had phone number on SIM card when switched to Captivate, copied all of them to phone's address book, then linked all accounts to facebook and gmail... now I'm switching the roms and I'm loosing all those numbers which were on phone (new entries I add only to gmail account, so they are going with me when i'm first syncing)

So anyway is there some way to move all the phone numbers from phone to google account so when I switch roms I will sync all the contacts?

And the calendar is always adding entries as default to phone's calendar and not my google calendar, is there a way to change this default value?

Thanks in advance,

Dima

Is there any registry fix or hack which could allow the weather animations to continuously run?

Thanks to some of the weather mods on here (Atmosfera at the moment), I'd be quite happy to have the animations running all day long, even if it hits the battery.

Seperately, it made me think that if this was possible, you could make the equivalent of animated "fore-skins" for your homescreen (e.g. a flock of birds that fly around and then come back etc.)

Is this a load of rubbish or is this possible? Thanks!

@TheDudesAndroid @noobnl_epic @cyanogen @koush what do you think? http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2152

@noobnl_epic

@wesgarner @TheDudesAndroid @cyanogen @koush should be removed

the link in wes's tweet says

Change I36172fd3: vibrant: Temporarily remove from CM manifest

vibrant: Temporarily remove from CM manifest

Reasons:

1. It doesn't compile - this can be fixed, though

2. It doesn't work... - currently the kernel inside the repo doesn't work plus the build system is not set up to flash the kernel

3. The Vibrant repo is about 2mths old

4. The Vibrant repo contains proprietary. On my fork, I have changed everything over to use extract-files, removed proprietary from all commits using filter-branch

We can refork my repo for the Vibrant, but at the same time - it still isn't ready, so mostly having it on the CM repos for 6.1 RC's this weekend is pretty pointless considering where we are in getting CM6 for the Vibrant

My manifest (git://github.com/wesgarner/android.git) is setup for the current Galaxy S repos (aka my Vibrant repo and noobnl's Epic repo), but this is still such a WIP that keeping it on CM repos really just confuses people about the current status and makes it seem like it's ready when it isn't

You cant expect one guy to make a rom for all android devices. If it doesnt work. O well. I mean there are other roms out there for those wanting to mess with there phones. Bionix is one.
