[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Higgsy:
First root your phone - plenty of info about how to do that in the forum

Easiest way to remove pre-installed apps is to install titanium backup from the market and uninstall via that - There are others, but I have used Titanium since it was first released and imo it is spot on. This needs root. Be careful what you remove there are alot of "apps" that are vital for the phone to run properly etc. getting rid of the games/general bundled apps is fine though.

Load apps from sd card - you need apps2sd once you have rooted http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804574&highlight=apps2sd

Unlocking - get an unlock code from your operatoror from a third party website if you can find one

Overclocking to 1ghz - you would melt your phone probably. The processor runs at 600mhz stock - a 400mhz overclock would be unstable and dangerous to say the least. Until the kernel sources are released/hacked this isn't going to happen anyway - I haven't seen this done on the X10 mini/pro yet.

If you want your phone to look more like other android devices, try a different launcher - Launcherpro is my recommendation - I have used many and for me this is my favourite.

Android apps are written in java. Android code is based around linux.

google/read/search this forum, but also search other handset forums, as you'll find much more activity there.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] liamguest:
Thanks, but on my nokia N900 i overclocked that permanently to 1.2GHZ and it didn't even heat up tbh i think it should be safe if you did its just about stability at 1.2ghz it used to error ( rarely ) but at 1ghz it worked perfectly and the phone without being overclocked was 600mhz well that's with the N900 anyway but with Mobile technology overclocking isnt soo bad normally for the heat side of things.

Never the less thanks for the Info.

Is launcher pro like the GDE thing I have or will that like permanently replace my home screen?

Angry Birds version 1.3.5 for X10 seems to work for the X10 Mini (and poss Mini Pro, not tested) on 2.1 UK Generic.

Downloaded from GetJar : getjar.com/mobile/43600/angry-birds-for-sony-ericsson-x10-xperia/?f=1

Tried version 1.3.5 from Market and it didn't work properly.

Cheers

Edit: Was just browsing AppBrain and there appears to be a new version out, Angry Birds 1.4.2

- 45 new levels

- QVGA(320x240) display resolution support

- Optimizations for more Android devices

- Fixed graphical problems

Good news for X10 Mini/Pro.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Skeldave:
Hi, could you upload the apk please? Getjar is saying that it doesn't recognise my phone (mini pro)

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kula77:
Hi I can't attach file soz as it's 12mb (file size limit on forum seems to be 8mb)

I simply downloaded the apk from the above GetJar link to my computer, then transferred it to my phone and installed it. You have to tell GetJar that your phone is an x10 rather than x10 mini/pro.

Confirmed works for Mini Pro too. Only slight problem I ran into was during the "cutscene" type videos I can't do anything when they end, so I have to go to homescreen and enter the game again and it'll haved moved onto the level.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JaffaTB:
works perfect for me too, it was available in the market for me

Issues

The game does work on my Mini pro, but it can be a frustrating experience. There is lagging (usually between the time you release the catapult and the bird is launched), and definitely problems when trying to select the bird. Sometimes it takes three to four attempts to get a hold of it. I suppose this is because the game is not optimized for QVGA resolutions.

Also, when you get to the videos introducing a new type of bird, you cant anything thereafter. The only solution is : Home>Task Switcher>Angry Birds and reload the level.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JaffaTB:
if you touch the bottom right corner of the screen when the cutscenes are on, its presses the button to continue :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FiDra:
Exactly, because the game resolution is resized to fit the resolution of the X10 mini pro :)

I've found a replacement screen on eBay for $68 but have no idea how to replace it. I don't see any disassembly of the screen on any of the teardown pics. Any help would be much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Insurance thru tmo. Better off getting brand new out the box. Just my thought.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] djodpm:
Yeah, that would be ideal but I bought the phone used. No insurance. Also everything, including the touchscreen, works perfectly fine still. The glass is just cracked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
You can call T-Mo, have them add the premium insurance, and then call back in a couple days and have them give you a replacement under the plan for $130.

EDIT: Make sure to get confirmation on this before you go through.

Of course, $68 is much better than $130. This link to a Desire Z teardown shows the top panel being taken apart (about 2/3 of the way down the page). It's a hell of a process; one that might leave you with more than just a screen issue if something were to go wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Pix please and also what link are r u looking at? $68 seems to cheap. Just wanna make sure you dont end up with a mytouch or hero screen
[G2 and Desire Z General] djodpm:
Wow, thanks for your help so far guys. Sorry about the links, it wouldnt let me post a normal link since Im a new user, so just cut and paste.

Here is a link to the replacement screen I found on eBay, its actually $58:

[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
thats pretty bad on the phone but yes that is the right screen.

You cracked the touch screen part not the lcd which would of cost more.

Good luck with replacing it. Idk how good you are at this stuff but for me it doesnt look to hard just make sure you have all the right tools.

and @ EfemaN

thanks for the link. and has anyone looked to see if the led has multi- color?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
i don't think you can add insurance now. only at the time you bought the phone.

actually when i bought, they added insurance w/o telling me. i found it later and canceled cuz it's 6.99/mo and deductible is 130. i thought 130 is way too much.

how much will HTC charge you? around 200?
[G2 and Desire Z General] djodpm:
HTC wont even repair them yet, that is the worst part. Below is the email I got from HTC customer service.

We apologize for any issues you are experiencing with your device and would be happy to assist. Unfortunately, we are not currently supporting this device for repair. We will have RMA options available soon, but do not have an ETA on when this will take effect. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Customer Care at 1.888.356.2375.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
I was able to remove and re-add insurance back over the last year or so that I had my Blackberry. There's no harm in just calling to ask.

I just called T-Mobile to have a new G2 sent (having radio issues), and during the usual agreement word-for-word reading, the rep mentioned the "if we find that you screwed up your phone" fee of.. I believe she said around $280, and if I remember correctly, it was $130 for the Blackberry. That $68 screen seems a little more attractive now...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
I called and tried to add insurance to my G2 today. T-Mobile said I had the phone more than 15 days and could not add it :-(

They did say that there is a year warranty on the phone that covers defects, but not breaks caused by consumer.

I also asked if they have an open enrollment period like some phone insurance companies do and they said that they didn't.

The DID however say that if I went to a T-Mobile store and got any repairs or exchanges done, I would be able to add insurance.

FYI my G2 is in perfect condition. Was just wanting to know if I could add it. Wish I would have when I had the chance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] x0Cypher:
Just so you guys are aware..

Insurance can be added only during an open enrollment period - purchase of a new phone or a warranty exchange. More or less, whenever T-mobile gives you a phone, you have 14 days to add it to the line.

That being said, the qualifying event that enables you to add insurance to your line doesn't necessarily have to cover the phone that was purchased or exchanged. The insurance will actually follow the sim card (iphone excluded) so that if you put your sim card into another device, that is actually the device that is currently covered.

Now, if you have a phone that can't receive a signal (totally inoperable as a phone) you might run into some difficulties actually making the claim. While it is technically policy, they would certainly prefer to see some usage on the phone you're trying to make a claim on. Depends on who you talk to, really.

Figured I would share. Toodles.
[G2 and Desire Z General] davebu:
why dont you sim unlock your phone and see if you cant get signal, get your replacement device, which would be covered as a defect, and then add insurance to that one. I prefer sprints insurance, they will even let you claim a phone you got used from ebay/cl or whatever. Also, you might want to look into a third party insurance provider, as asurion is who covers it through every carrier anyway. They will always just tell you to call them, wont make anything easier.
[G2 and Desire Z General] djodpm:
Does anyone have a better tear down link than this?: tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down

This assumes that the 1/2 that the screen is attached to is separated from the other 1/2 of the phone. I ordered a new digitizer and am just waiting for it to arrive. I was quoted $50 labor from a local shop here in NYC. I ordered the part for $36.

Please, I need your input at XDA- HD7 forum.

( Should I replace my HTC HD7 pre-order with Samsung Omnia 7? Help needed fast ... )

Thanks.

I hope that you can help me.

KraFT
[Omnia 7 General] JustinL01:
Depends on what you want from the phone, from what I can see the differences are storage capacity, screen quality and size. Basically from what I can see:

HD7 - Larger screen, double the capacity (16G) with maybe the ability to expand!

Omnia - Better Screen (for Contrast/Colours), smaller dimensions, faster memory (Nand), better design (subjective!)

I have the HD7 and tbh I am finding it just a little to big for me, and while the screen is good I don't think it is anywhere close to the SAmoled. I have an Omnia on it's way as I had to renew my wife's contract and got a brilliant deal. My HD7 is a work phone so I have nothing to lose if I use the Omnia 7.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jmiller148:
Does anyone know why when replacing the dialpad images in blurphone the images don't draw correctly. I know it's not a 9 patch problem. I took a stock blue image with the same 9 patch segments and it doesn't work correctly.

I would post photos, but apparently I don't have access to do so. Does anyone know how to get verified to do that?

EDIT: Found the answer after a day of searching. The 9-Patch files need to be compiled.

I would love to consolidate all of the knowledge from this forum into a single, organized site. Searching through these forums can get very daunting with threads in the hundreds of pages. Please post if this would interest you, or if you would be willing to help with content or editing.

Hi guys,

I've noticed when using the standard email app with Froyo versions, battery use is very high. I've used spare parts and it shows pretty partial wake usage for the email app.

I've removed my account from it, and installed the TouchDown email app, and now it is fine, but I prefered the stock app.

Anyone have any info on this?

Cheers,

A simple widget for your Android homescreen (Froyo 2.2 and higher), which enables you to display any text string of your choice. This donate version also enables you to place as many widgets (text strings) onto your homescreen as you like.

The widget has many options:

font settings - color, opacity, family, style, size and alignment

background settings - color, opacity and height

advanced settings - font shadow, shape corners, tap to open and Tasker/Locale plug-in

I am/will be working on the donate version, which means new add-ons will come soon :-)

Trust me, I have spent a lot of hours/days on this widget, so if you like my work, please consider donation to receive unlock key for advanced options.

In case you donated, you should receive an unlock key via an email. If you have any troubles, please feel free to contact me. I will surely help you.

@tampiss , first thing i tried is to add multiple widgets each with different text, but it's not possible like klaberr said... each widget should have it's own text .

and would you consider adding more font size if u plan another release ? maybe to 40 or 50

[Android Apps and Games] tampiss:

I just need to find the way how to do it :-). That's all ;-). You know, Im not programmer so it takes me longer to learn ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] AlexNC75:
Great app, but with some suggestions ...

1) Allow for more than one text. I would like to make multiple titles for my different pages ... such as Settings, Games, Contacts, etc.

2) Make the widget's 100% height setting match the OneSeven app. In your app, 100% still leaves some space at the top and bottom.
[Android Apps and Games] anoneemooz:
I wonder if I'm the only one who'd want to see this widget have a vertical option... :)

Like a 1x4 alternative where text can then be displayed rotated 90 degrees to the left or the right (not written downwards! Just literally a rotated widget haha). That would be kinda cool and would make for more versatile homescreen designs/layouts. :) Also, I'd love to see an upside down option too :))

I know it's quirky but hey some people (like me) might like to have such options. :D

Also, custom editing of the actual text would be nice...thought it might be a bit harder to implement. Like I want to change the font or font style or color of a particular word in the text I'm placing in the widget.

If you make the widget's 100% height setting match the OneSeven app and I'll will definitely donate. In your app, 100% still leaves some space at the top and bottom. Also, allowing a text shading option (drop shadow) would be nice. Great work!
