[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
@Huggs

Yea, not 100% accurate, but I know what you mean, heh.

Windows went from being a shell to being an OS actually.

SPB makes no apologies in that it is even called a Shell. It does not run alongside Sense in WM6.5...in fact they recommend you disable Sense.

Since Android is different, SPB would only act somewhat as a Launcher and could be used instead of Sense. I use Launcher pro instead of Sense for example. Because Android lets you choose what "program" manipulates each command you can customize it out the wazoo. You can use alternative launchers, email, music, galleries, etc. So a glorified launcher like SPB Shell with all of these alternatives already built in is a good thing considering Sense is not on a lot of people's list.

I use a Sense build because everything works perfectly for me on there. My only hopes are that battery issues are completely resolved, although my Android build is just slightly behind the WM6.5 Rom in consumption.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xplus93:
I love the new spb mobile shell, and I disagree about the carousel. I have all my apps in folders and categorized, so it replaces my app drawer pretty much.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] olyloh6696:
They really need to release this for WM. It will be so much more benificial than forbandroid as the lanucher is already good enough. Wm needs this!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Extremely unlikely though knowing Spb :cool:

Mark.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] olyloh6696:
:( Why do you think so? I hope they will release it. They have announced a beta testing program for android but not for WM or Symbian...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Exactly my point they have announced the beta testing phase for Android but not for any other platform. Spb never intended Mobile Shell 5 to be a user intallable product for WM but more of a blank shell and sdk for manufactures to use on new phones. I very much doubt spb will release any more updates for Windows Mobile as they have a long history of dropping products after a certain time. I have talked to spb developers on their forum and they have never stated that Mobile Shell 5 will ever be available to existing Windows Mobile users.

Mark.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] olyloh6696:
Wow, i never heard of thir reputatution for cancelling products :( seems a shame . i swnt them a email a few days back regarding the release of the shell for WM but i havent got a reply yet. It is a real shame as i was holding of upgrading to a newer device as i was highly anticipated by the shell for WM since it was first announced. I would have really liked to see how the UI performed on my TG01. Im sure the 1ghz snapdgragon CPU will be put at full use with this shell but now it looks like they wont release it...

*sigh* :(

Hello my fellow rEVOlutionaries. :-)

I don't know about you guys, but I have a lot of friends that have iPhone, so we are always looking for cross platform applications that let us communicate, play games, etc. So far we found a few nice ones that are worth mentioning:

Heytell (ptt app. Will drain your battery lol)

Tango

Homerun battle 3d

Those are the ones I can think of off the my head. But we are always looking for more. :-)

Grooveshark: this is by far my favorite app, it allows me to upload all of my music files to their servers, and stream them on my G2 over 3g/HSPA/WiFi. I don't have to use my sd card for mp3's at all. The audio quality is just as good over streaming. I can also search other user's collections and stream those too. The app is very well constructed, with pull down menus, album art, and many other features I haven't even used yet. Costs $3/month and worth every penny.

AOR (Android Online Radio): pulls internet radio stations from all over the world. Just like Ootunes on iOS and WunderRadio on WinMo. But for Android it's free!

Zedge: wallpaper and ringtones app. Free, worth more. I have my phone setup to use R2D2's sounds for ringtone, and Chewbacca's cry for text notifications. Very cool.

Angry Birds Lite: enough said, fun and maddening game. Free

Raging Thunder 2: great racer for the G2, play it daily. $5.99? I think, don't remember.

Fruit Ninja: very fun, but very difficult game. I am lucky to last 90 seconds. But good for a quick game fix. $.99

Beautiful Widgets: customize your desktop with clocks and weather widgets. Lots of different styles, easy to adapt to whatever wallpaper you use. $2.99? Don't remember what it cost.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
- ConnectBot - for all your remote *nix administration needs.

- Remote Desktop (by xtralogic) - my favorite RDC app for windows administration.

- Wikimind lite - a wiki formatted notes application. Useful for jotting stuff down.

- Powerstrip - for quick access to a few widgets without having to leave whatever application you are currently in.

- Newsrob - my favored RSS feed reader.

- Aldiko - an eReader.

- Angry Birds - time waster #1

- Robo Defense - time waster #2

- Barcode Scanner - QR codes for applications and general barcode scanning

- Shop Savvy - price comparison app.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Akulamenuri:
LauncherPro - the best application on Android, period. Stop whatever you are doing and download it right now.

Shazam - That song that you hearing but don't know the name of, Shazam it

Power Control Plus - Allows you to add additional features that the normal Power Control widget doesn't offer such as Edge/HSPA toggle, Orientation toggle, and Flashlight toggle

Coupons - Never hurts to save a little money, you will find TONs of coupons and specials using this app

EasyTetherPro - Until the G2 is rooted this is a good application for transferring your HSPA+ speeds via USB

Music Downloader Pro - It downloads music...and its Pro at it :D

PhonemyPC - Allows you to connect to a PC very easily. No firewalls, no specific versions of windows, and no port forwarding. Just create a username and pass on your phone and do the same on the computer and your good to go.

Doubletwist - A music player that looks alot better than the stock version

Anything that ends in soid - Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Gameboy, Sega Genesis, even Playstation. You have a physical keyboard, take advantage of it.

XDA - Take a guess :D

I've already posted my Top 10 but I wanted to add 2 more.

1. Spare Parts - this gives you important information about your phone, especially when it comes to battery life. It tells you what applications prevent your phone from sleeping and which programs run the CPU more so you can uninstall those applications to get maximum battery life.

2. Torrent-fu - this takes a little bit of set up but when you get everything configured it is fantastic. If allows you to control the Bittorrent clients uTorrent (Windows) and Transmission (Mac). You can manage your torrents that your computer is running, search for torrents on your phone and remotely upload them to your host computer, and even scan a product barcode to find torrents.

I failed to connect to a N95 bluetooth headset with my SGS. Does anybody have a clue as to what the problem might be? I've tried all the standard pin codes, so that's not it. I've had my phone set to visible just before holding down the button on the N95 to turn it on, etc. etc., feels like I've tried everything.

Is there any fix to this or does anybody have a clue wy it won't work?

Tried using the 1 Click Return to Stock thing but my phone doesn't go into Download mode either. People this is my only phone... Please help... Oh and if you can't help me do you guys think ATT will return my phone?:(
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
while in recovery, your phone will still respond to adb. simply "adb reboot download" will get you there.

NEVER EVER flash a 2.1 kernel when you a running a 2.2 firmware.
[Captivate General] timur525:
Where do i download ADB? and how exactly do i use this command line?
[Captivate General] dedpoet:
It's part of the Android SDK.

h t t p://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (take the spaces out, I can't link yet).

You install the software, connect your phone by USB, open a command prompt, CD to <install folder>\tools, then type "adb reboot download".
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
If you can't get ADB to work.. you might want to try this trick,

Pull your Battery, Sim, External SDCard.

Hold down both Volume Buttons at the same time.

While holding down the button - put in your USB Cable

Jam the battery back in and the yellow triangle "should" pop-up.

Might take a few times to do it, but if you have your buddy with you (you know the guy who tried bricking your phone?) it should go into d/l mode.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
I don't think AT&T would replace your phone because you messed up flashing it. This voids your warranty.

There are a few ways to force download mode. Try avgjoegeek's method, it should work.
[Captivate General] tahoeski:
If the 3-button method doesn't work, you may be SOL. I had to return my phone that did not allow the 3-button method to work. It is a pretty common issue. Everyone should check to make sure their phone will go into recovery and download mode before flashing ROMs. This issue should be stated more in the ROM sections.

Good luck!

DO NOT DO A FULL NANDROID ON THE NEW PHONE ESPECIALLY THE WIMAX.IMG....

If you plan on doinga a nandroid which I think your better of just loading up software please remove the wimax.img from your nandroid since it is an image of your current rom and MAC address which will be different from your new phones MAC address. Also make sure you make a nandroid of your new phones rom first after you root it.

Especially with Amon since it saves your wimax.img just incase something goes wrong...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:

THANK YOU! Question though- after removing the wimax.img from the file, do I have to change anything else so it doesnt hang when it doesn't see the wimax.img in the actual nandroid anymore? Like a script perhaps? What is the nandroid.md5 file that I'm seeing when I open the actual nandroid file up?
