Contact Display Options.

Hi,

Use contacts display option( Click on physical menu buttion after opening contacts app) and customize your view. Just check the contacts folders you want to view.

Create a folder in Gmail contacts page and map all phone contacts to it.

No need to do delete and other stuff, you can manage their very easily.

Regards,

Praveen.

Tclkit doesn't contains the executable tclsh, and so you are getting an error.

If you decided to use tclkit, you need to use "tclkit.exe <script-name>" :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eitama:
When I wrote this I was using Galaxy S,

The option for not showing contacts without numbers didn't help in regards of performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blufox88:
This is a great idea..much better than manually deleting 300 contacts from your phone...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
Hey guys.

I just had the bright idea of hooking up my evo to my girls laptop so i could charge my battery a little while browsing xda. I plugged in, selected charge-only and went back to the xda app and what do you know, the sd card was unmounted and showed up as a usb drive again???

Whats the point of charge-only if it behaves exactly like the disk drive mode?

I want to install iced glacier on my phone, but I purchased monopoly from the stock sense rom. I also did a backup with titanium but it says only the data is backed up. does that mean i'll need the apk itself to use it? what if i literally copy and paste the apk from /system/app to my sdCard then move again?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] esincho:
U didn't purchase it off the market?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Matt105:
Yeah I wish I had purchased off market also. What you have to do is just rebuy it then call up tmobile and ask to have the charge dropped. I think they don't drop it, but just credit that amount to your next bill.

For those that don't know, the game has a "buy" feature inside of it that I guess doesn't go through the android market. Very unfortunate.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mixer5911:
Well the game itself is not in the ice glacier rom. Otherwise I could have just restored the data with titanium backup

Hey guys.

Im a very dedicated launcherproplus user. Its the only launcher for me...and just like in a marriage not everything is perfect...

Everytime i plug and unplug the phone from my pc (too often!), after the sd card remounts if i interact with launcherpro in any way it force closes. Then it works fine, until i plug/unplug again.

Any idea whats causing this?

Hello

Im looking for a media player that can reproduce all possible formats (mostly videos). Something like VLC for Android would be nice.

Anything out there?
[Desire Themes and Apps] chris_abr:
Have you tried arcmedia ? It plays most of the formats, its worth a try. Especially since its free.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dgattenb:
rockplayer , xyplayer etc etc.. look on google... I know I did
[Desire Themes and Apps] riahc3:
I did as well but didnt find anything universal that plays everything. I swore there was a player that the description said "VLC like; Plays all formats"

[Desire Themes and Apps] chris_abr:
What phone have you got btw?

Because you won't be able to play anything properly if you've got a phone like HTC legend, HTC wildfire, you'll need 1ghz processor to play everything property..

If you have 1ghz , then try arcmedia. It's free, but if its not good enough for you for some reason, then try rock player, its paid app, but also has a trial. I never had any issues with rock player, it plays everything smoothly.

I meant what phone has the author if this thread got.

So how's watching videos on a wildfire ?

Because its about as fast as HTC legend, and it was sluggish on the legend sometimes.

You will have to get the apk.. so if u can't get it off the developers site then maybe try some not so legal methods to see I'd it works that way?
[Streak 5 General] K4M1K4ZI:
Hi All

I have a Dell Streak which was on 1.6 and I tied to update to 2.2. Problem is I tried to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.2 before going to 2.1. The Streak just sits on the Dell boot logo. I can access clockword recovery and flash images but i cant access fastboot as device does not get picked up my laptop. I have held down both volume buttons on the phone and selected the power button to bring up options. But I also cant run update.pkg (renamed stock 1.6 update) as phone goes into clockwork recovery and that doesnt allow me to run pkg files. I will be grateful for any advice as I am worried that i may have bricked it for good.
[Streak 5 General] hrkct:
Hey dont worry as long as streak boots to Dell logo we can make it work

Now answer this

Do you know how to flash files through Fastboot?
[Streak 5 General] hrkct:
Also I need to know whats device status when you connect it to ur laptop

In Device manager. Does it say

1.unknow device

or

2. A exclamation on Android phone
[Streak 5 General] K4M1K4ZI:
The phone can be picked in Fastboot mode on the PC. It shows as android phone. I dont know how to flash in this mode and what files to flash. I would be grateful if someone can show me.

Okay, I know this is a stupid question but how do I run nandroid in preparation to flash a new ROM on my epic 4g? I don't know what it is, I don't know how to use it, can someone link a tutorial or something? ^,^"
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Well we've all been a noob at one point so ill help you. Do you have clockworkmod installed? If you do then go to backup and restore in it and hit backup and waitabout five mins and it will be saved to your sd and you can restore it any time you mess up.

K then. I see your new here,dont be like everyone else in these forums there all douche bags to noobs.

THE FROYO EPIC EXPERIENCE
[Epic 4G General] br//0k3/n:
Don't worry, I won't. I'm just getting used to android because I used to have an iPhone 3GS & iPhone 4 and as such I'm used to jailbreaking/developing for those devices. One I get the hang of android I shouldn't be too much of a burden ;)

And btw, I have another (admittedly noobish) question:

After I backed up, it said no sd-ext found. What's that mean and will it affect the backup? And it saved as 2004-12-31, what's that about?
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Me to I came from an ipod touch. The sdcard ext is a place for apps on the sd card and you don't have any on there s its fine it won't efec anything. But idk about the name usually itjust states the date you backedup but it looks wrong but I'm shure it won't efect the file so your all good.

THE FROYO EPIC EXPERIENCE
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
To those, like me, who were disappointed with Froyo.

After doing a fair bit a tinkering and research experimenting for a month. I managed to find the BEST solution for people who don't want to use custom roms. Yet wanting a similar yet better mobile experience they had with 2.1 eclair.

After a factory reset.

Latest Voodoo Lagfix via Odin |or| ryanZA's OneClickLagFix your choice

1. root - z4root app from market.

2. ryanZA's OCLF app

- Alter minfree. Set to Aggressive

- Change Scheduler. Set to deadline

3. SGSTools.

- Upgrade stock apps.

+ Modded Contacts app showing all letters

+ Stock browser with useragent setting

+ Faster TouchWizLauncher(GTG) <--- TOUCHWIZ CAN't GET ANY SNAPPIER >:D

- GPS fix

Just like (2.1 with OLCF) Fast, snappy, loving it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Seifer1975:
Best is to reboot everyday.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
We don't have the same definition of "Stock"...

Anyway, I'm using jk4 now, realy stock (no root,no lagfix) and it's fast and fluid. What more do I need?? Higher benchmark? That's about the only reason I'd do a lag fix...!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Doing all of the above = might as well install Doc's ROMs ;)

or you can just go to settings -> applications -> manage applications -> ALL tab and find the launcher, force close and clear settings. For any applications you get force close on. :) it fixes

you forgot to add something, hardcore's latest kernel improved GPS. i am able to lock up to 11 sat within 10 secs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kangal:
If your going to change the kernel, root, lagfix, gpsfix it ... why not just try for a custom ROM?

I do think we have different notions of the word "stock"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ticiano:
This isny "stock" at all... A good custom ROM like Doc's are more "stock" than this thing... Doc's stock! :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Seifer1975:
How can it still be considered stock after applying all these tweaks??

A stock and fast SGS with Froyo is like the Loch Ness monster. It's a myth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nYbEe:
Tnx!

About the GPX Fix, does it only support North American and european countries?

And can I do other items in SGS tools like 3d Gallery etc.

@all

I Think what he's trying to say is having a faster SGS without flashing it with other ROM's...just like me, I'm still not in the state of flashing it because I'm still afraid: Man this phone is too expensive and I don't want to mess with it yet. Maybe a year later :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
Yes. The gallery fix in the sgs tools also fixes the battery drain bug which is caused by the sensor in the stock froyo's gallery app.

And yes this is for poeple who are not wanting to flash custom roms yet wanting the same stable fast performance.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodled24:
The Memory on the Desire is very limited. Orange have not helped this. I want to remove UNO, Tetris, That bowling game, The Traffic camera etc. In order to claw back that precious 10Mb or so, and be rid of the low disk space icon.

I've just rooted my phone. (can see and open the superuser icon). I followed this, and it worked: http://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/0...desire-with-unrevoked-3-21-video-walkthrough/

Was under the impression that this would allow me to uninstall the Pre-loaded Orange apps. Clearly not. SO...

Installed titanium backup. Tried to uninstall UNO, Didnt work. Tried to Force uninstall uno, didnt work and scared me to death with a strange android logo + exclamation mark.

My phone is fine, but UNO is still there clinging to that precious Mb of space.

Please can someone explain how to get rid of this bloatware? Preferably without having to flash a new ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Best thing is to just debrand the phone and put a stock WWE ROM onto it. then you can re-root that and have some fun.

Just download a stock ROM from HERE (I recommend 2.29.405.2), make a gold card and run the RUU file with the gold card in the phone and HTC Sync showing connected on the PC
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but uninstalling those apps wont give you ANY extra space you can use, neither will flashing a different rom.

The orange bloatware is on the system partition, you want space on the data partition.

The only way to get more space is apps2sd. I recommended flashing a custom rom that supports olschool apps2sd and partition your sdcard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
But flashing a stock ROM will at least get rid of them! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodled24:
Well... thats me a bit gutted then.

Does this mean that all the ringtones/notifications are also on the System Partition?

The low disk space icon has been a real pain. My contract is only a tenner a month. Might just wait till after xmas and get the new Desire HD.

Was watching a video on Youtube about root explorer, and how that might be an option to remove preloaded guff, but I guess it was a different carrier.

Cheers for the help guys.

Look in the forum for " HOW TO: Delete System Applications On Rooted Phones"

They can be deleted and it does get space back !...

A new rom ...if you want .. no need ...

but you have to be ROOT !!! ( unrevoked + gold card )
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It does NOT get the space back, System apps are on the /system partition which downloaded apps aren't saved to
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
You might get some space back (if your lucky) by going into application settings and clear data for these apps. Will probably only be a small amount though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodled24:
Cheers m8, have been through and done that.

One other question... if its not possible to delete these apps to get more space and be rid of the "low disk space" notification... is there a way to stop the notification showing so early? It seems to pop up once I get to about 15mb... it doesnt really need to be there till im down to the last 5mb does it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
It's true that you won't get space back by deleting apps form /system but you can move apps (that don't update often) from /data to /system to fill the system partition again and gain some space back in /data.

I'm not currently using these, but my wife has used DecalGirl skins on her phones several times. They were always good quality fit and very durable. Lot's of designs. Someone mentioned to me they finally had G2 skins so I thought I'd share the link in case anyone hadn't seen their products before.

I'm really considering ditching my gel case for this one:

I'm in the Navy and it's the same pattern as our new uniforms.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] c0nvel:

But if skin really does blend into the background that turns me off. Obviously you can opt from doing so, but still it'd get boring after awhile.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
I don't know... that's kinda the coolest part, imo. Oh well, sticking with my gel skin anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] etjrowe:
I just really like their selection of designs. I had skins from them on an original Xbox and my first Xbox 360. I also installed one on my wife's old blackberry. Installation wasn't as hard as other brands because their material was thick and had a lot of give (if that makes sense). The only thing that I noticed is that if you look at the pictures close, these don't seem to cover the sides of the corners of the phone. For that reason, I'm not sure I would ditch my gel case for one. I like to keep my phones as like new as possible.

If anyone tries one of these and could post pics, it would be appreciated. But I think I'm actually going to hold off for now.

Need clarifications on Market install procedure:

1. Calls for using "AndRootFile." I go to site to DL and it asks what phone to get right apk. Got no stinkin' phone. What do I put in? Or where can I get the apk for G-Tablet?

2. Procedure call for mounting R/W and making sure to make R/O when finished. How?

3. Guide for ADB setup at the end. Does that have to be done manually or do the files above take care of the changes? Or does the DL usb file replace the stock file?

4. i have had Gmail for a long time. Is anything other than a Gmail signon needed to set up market and the other apps?

1. There won't be a version of androot specifically for the G tab. Just find an androot apk and install it.

2. Refers to read/write, and read only. Once androot is installed it will have a selection allowing for you to be a Superuser, and to set r/w, or ro.

3. ADB is setup manually. It is run from a command line. The USB driver gets installed by hooking up your G tab by usb, don't mount it from the G tab though. Then run the driver program in windows to install the driver.

4. Yes, once it is all installed your Gmail login will do it all. There is a market fix that will need to be done also as the market will be really incomplete. The fix is easy...

5. I know you didn't have a 5, and you will think I am beating a dead horse. If you were to just install TnTLite2.2 all the work is done, your G tab will scream, and you will be done...
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Thanks for the quick clarifications. Now a comment for your (5) comment.

I have thought of going ahead and flashing -- and yes I know that solves some problems. But aside from being conservative hardware wise:

1. My biggest objection to flashing is that there is no real way back to stock. Vanilla is not factory if I understand right. And I'm not sure cwm lets you make a restorable factory image. If I knew I could restore a factory image, it would make playing a little easier for me.

2. I'm not new to computers or OSes, but I am new to Android. There is a certain learning advantage in doing the various procedures -- the negative being that that makes me have to ask people like you for the little details I need.

3. Screaming is relative. Compared to my PDA and my netbook, my G already screams. And none of them scream compared to my gaming machine which is probably in the top 10 per cent speed-wise. So screaming would only make a little difference for me.

4. And then there the projected Dec. 19 update. I realize that VS has missed the boat several times in all of this, but it would be tooooooooo sweet if they incorporated a lot of the fixes and ideas voiced here into the update and make a stock machine even better.

5. Since you quit at five I will too. I really would like to have a $279 G-Tablet to play with, but I like in the country and even the nearby large city doesn't have either enough Sears or tech enthusiasts for me to get that lucky. If I had a second one, I could play a little more since I wouldn't necessary have to keep it working so I could use it.

Anyhow, thanks again for the clarifications and your comments. There is no dead anything around here, BTW!!!
