[Droid X Themes and Apps] Killlt:
Hello, I am new to the whole Rom thing. I did not make a backup of the bloatware ie. amazon, skype, cityid and now I can not update to 2.2.1. Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
I dont have the link right know... (on the phone and not the desktop) but if you do a google search for droid x default apps or something similar, I think u can find some with a dump of all the .apk files. If no one gets back to you on this quickly, send me a pm and I can try to find the link on my computer and will repost it for you.
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
In case anyone is a member of AppPla***.net (not sure if I can post the name here) Their apk works fine on the NC and you can download just like you can off the Android Market. Not sure why Android Market wont work on the NC, but this works fine. I have gotten 100's of apks there on my NC.
[Nook Color General] Xhorder:
yes, it works fine.

for those opposed to stealing, just remember all the apps with a line through the price are pirated.
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Has anyone verified is there were/are any malicious apps on that site/program.. I've been told some of the permissions on some of the apps were "questionable."
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
Anything illegal has a very large chance of causing damage. Use at your own risk. Best to play it safe and stay away. I just wanted to let people know that the apk did in fact work. Maybe it will help someone create the real Market apk.
[Nook Color General] jay084:
Also confirmed working. I'm one of those try it,and if I like it, buy it guys so I think this app works out well for honest guys like myself. I'm not into wasting money (not even a little bit), but I will support quality products so this is right up my alley.
[Nook Color General] Xhorder:
I agree. Just wish the real market would get working so I could actually buy the apps I like!
[Nook Color General] jay084:
Yeah I hear you. But this will have to do for now, something is better than nothing. At least we are getting the "Android Market Experience" lol.
[Nook Color General] Bahnzo:
Edit: NVM, I'm an idiot who can't follow directions.....
[Nook Color General] Epicrean:
Funny... I installed this App via adb and it doesn't show in my extras... How did you guys get it to appear?
[Nook Color General] jay084:
Did you restart after installing?
[Nook Color General] pulser_g2:
I think it's best we close this just now, before this moves into a full-blown warez discussion. Installing paid apps without paying them is not something this forum condones, nor tolerates the discussion of.

There is progress in using the proper Android market on the device.

I have installed the wildpuzzle froyo 2.2 rom onto my HTC wildfire but I still cant use live wallpaper. But when i go to menu -- wallpaper -- Home -- Live Wallpaper, it shows the option Live wallpapers, but when i click on a live paper, it does not change it, why?
[Android Themes] kwajda:
You must delete HTC Sense and use other Luncher (ADW.Launcher / LauncherPRO etc.). Delete are simple, use htc_app_remove.zip update file
[Android Themes] transformers2010:
Where do i get the launcher and how to use it?

and where to download the remove thing and how to use it?
[Android Themes] Zalatorisaurus:
Both can be found in the android market. For the launcher, there are Launcherpro and ADW among others. You install them and then at your home screen press your home screen button and you should be able to select the launcher you have installed. To delete apps and other things, search for Astro File Manager. It's the best free file manager. After the installation of Astro (or your chosen file manager), find a folder called "system." Then another folder called "apps." Finally, you can delete whatever files that you wish.

[Android Themes] mabdrabo:
sorry to jump in like that, i just didnt find a reason to make a new thread when i have a similar problem :)

the only difference is that i have stock 2.2 on my wildfire and when i press

menu- wallpaper- ...i only find Home and Lock screen...there isnt Live wallpaper.

any opinions,please? :)
[Android Themes] Zalatorisaurus:
You have to install the Live Wallpaper launcher. There are apks floating around for it all over XDA. Just search for it. Then you can go to town.
[Android Themes] 3xeno:
Live Wallpapers are not officially supported. Hence, there is no such option on the official update. ROM Dev's additionally add support for LWP's.

Well, since you are now on the "unrootable" 2.2.1 update, you are out of luck for now unfortunately.
[Android Themes] mabdrabo:
so i cant have live wallpapers on my wildfire unless its rooted

and it is not rootable for the moment

did i get it right? :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypntick:
Does anyone have a .apk file for the Dolphin HD Adblock add-on? Tried a few places to get it working and just not having any luck with it at all. Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10equals2:
There exists a apk on xda somewhere that blocks ads. I don't know what It's called, my usb cable broke...

Anyways, the apk works like a charm.

http://code.google.com/p/andblock/downloads/detail?name=AdBlock-0.5.apk
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cephalus:
I saw it on the market back in May of last year when I was setting up my first Android 'phone and thought "great!" Problem is though, it was pulled off the market not long after that, never to be seen - whether by Google or Dolphin, I suppose we'll never know.

I stumbled across this link though, which has the APK of the original blocker. It's not quite as versatile as ABP in that it doesn't support auto-updated community blocking lists. Instead, it has a preconfigured set of keywords and sub-URLs which you can add to or edit.

The first thing to do is add ".admobi.com/" (without the quotes); that one wasn't caught by AdAway (which I recommend you also install).
[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
I had read somewhere before I purchased the G tablet that there was a way to fit more apps(change their size) so that you can pack a lot like the iPad? Is this true and what is it called/where can I download it?
[G Tablet General] socal80:
Download launcher pro and in the homescreen settings menu you can set the number of rows/columns in the homescreen.
[G Tablet General] jpmi23:
I was just informed to try 8 & 8, with autofit. Looks perfect now.
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
Arghhh how the heck are you guys getting your photo's to display correctly ( as wallpaper ) on the NC after you install any Launcher on the market !! ... this is horrible. The images are all zoomed in and cropped off no matter what I try.
[Nook Color General] RMHisCOOL:
Set it through the nook. Nook button -- settings -- home (under app settings) -- set wallpaper. This was mentioned in another thread, I'm just repeating the answer.
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
Search for Wallpaper Set & Save - that's what I used.
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
I tried that app. With any Launcher that I have tried, Set and Save still does not format the wallpaper correctly. Seems as soon as you replace the stock Launcher nothing will set a wallpaper correctly. :confused:

I wonder if there is a way to pull a stock wallpaper of the nook then push a new one into the /system/wallperps folder via the shell ...?
[Nook Color General] monsterpt:
Check your other threads on this same topic and you will see I have already answered this for you. Go to the nooks original home screen and set the wallpaper there. Turn the device to landscape and discard the first try at wallpaper then select. You can just put a folder on your sd card called wallpapers and they will show up in the nooks photo gallery automatically.
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
Mmmm I am pretty sure I tried this allready and it did not work. I will try it here in a few ( on my NC with ZEAM installed ) and post my results. Thanks in advance !
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
Wallpaper set and save works for me perfectly. I am running seam as well.
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
Well I tried this again and still it crops the picture and zooms in. Are you getting the square crop box when you do this ?? I am. I am doing this...from home screen >long press home screen>click on change wallpaper>pick new picture from photo tab>move crop box as much as as I can>hit save. New wallpaper is zoomed way in and pixulated. :O(
[Nook Color General] monsterpt:
Ok. When you get the portrait crop box - DO NOT hit save. Rotate the nook into lanscape first then Hit discard (trust me). When you discard the first image orientation it will give you the option to crop the same image in landscape format. Crop the second image option and then save that one.

Ps. You should see two tabs when selecting to set wallpaper. One labeled wallpapers the other should say pictures (I think). If not, try putting some wallpapers in a folder on you sdcard.
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
Ok I see now what you mean. And yes that did work ... sort of ... After I hit the discard button the picture reset and the crop box changed to a landscape size. But .. even tho the photo changed and the crop box changed, I can not fit the entire picture in the crop box. The picture I am trying this with is a portrate picture of my kids standing up. They fill the entire picture, but I can only get the new crop box to frame in either the top half or the bottom half of the picture. If the crop box was to rotate then they would fit in the frame perfect. Right now I can only see their chest and heads. But it did fix the problem about the zooming in. Any other thoughts mate ? and THANKS :)
[Nook Color General] bobbybear:
Just to confirm, I'm trying the same method and seeing the same (picture doesn't fit) behavior.
[Nook Color General] monsterpt:
hmmmm... what is the size/resolution of the image you are using? you may need to resize the image with photoshop or one of the free image editing programs. Maybe cropping the image on a pc then transferring to the nook. Glad this could at least get you started. Thanks for asking the question cuz I am gonna load pics on the two NCs that I got my kids for xmas so that they are personalized when they start them up that morning. Now I know that I have to do some photo editing before hand. When I get it done, I'll post a little tutorial on the steps.
[Nook Color General] bobbybear:
I'm using the hummingbird pic from the stock NC pictures tab.

All i know is that rooting my hd has made it quicker and now i have overclocked it the phone runs awesome. Now i am curious as to what else i can do with it now. Any tips, hacks or apps would be appreciated or anything to customize my hd anymore. I am also new to this site and must appologize if this topic has come up before. thanx guys and girls:)
[Desire HD General] ceva:
Hey man, can you point me how to root and flash new custom rom ? i got my htc dhd today :) Thanks and sry for offtopic .
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
Whatever you want. I suggest trying different roms, mess around with boot animation and try overclocking/underclocking.

ALWAYS back up first with clockwork recovery. (When you do this your phone can be restored to exactly how it was before you tried.).

Find what's right for you. The best thing I like aboot rooting is raising two fingers at the supplier and manufacture for putting unnecessary branding on it, then customising it and proving it's mine and I can do what I like.
[Desire HD General] walwyn7:
no probs mate. I am new to this all myself and have only had my desire 2 weeks now. I started by reading up on rooting on here (xda) and downloaded VISIONary to start. Plenty of guides are available on here or theunlokr.com which can show u what to do. Good luck and don't brick the phone

For some reason, pressing mine from the home screen opens google search. uh edit, it opens google search with any keypress on the physical keyboard... that ws supposed to be an edit anyway...

News flash for everyone but johnbarry3434.....johnbarry3434 was correct at least on my phone. with the keyboard open I made a call, and as it was ringing I held down the space bar - a long press - and the speaker came on. long pressing again turned it off.

Bumping up.... anyone ?
[General Questions and Answers] grA$:
If i understand u right the task is simple: open a Microsoft Excel file or Open Office Org Calc Sheet.

In one sheet u put contact with the header row containing named fields you want to sync, and all the data on the following rows, than export that file (care to have only one sheet - usually default new files have 3 sheets, so delete the rest 2 blank sheets before u save the file.)

Save file as.csv (comma separated value not .xls nor .xlsx default type for Excel / .odc for OOO Calc).

On windows 7 got to Users --> Your user --> Contacts than Import --> choose CSV (first option on 1st window) --> choose yourfile.csv (yourfile = yourfile name saved earlier) and ok.

Than also in Contacts window choose Export --> vCards than type ok

Now all your contacts with their date are also on vCard format.

Select all vCards copy/save em on SD card of your phone. Than go to phone choose Contacts -> Import/Export --> Import from SD card than choose all.

Now all your contacts with all the fields are on phone contacts.

For calendar is a bit trickier but similar.

Hope it helps.

Thanks mate..... seems fiddly, but will give that a try.

I assumed that after WinPho being out for SOOOOO long, the user interface would be much better by now, instead of having to use all these work-arounds

Cheers again
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
I have to ask. Why AREN'T you using outlook (either express or the regular one)?

Besides that, you have to understand that MyPhone is treated differently than outlook. The purpose isn't to act as a phonebook or calendar but to provide backup.

You can pretty much use any type of sync you like (from any POP one to IMAP, WEB.. and so forth). You can open up a gmail account and sync it with your phone so that you can sync it easily (of course, it will also sync with your myphone in case it was configured which would then provide a secondary backup (other than google).

There are plenty of cals/phonebooks wandering around the net.

Running Win7 on home and office computers..... no Outlook, or Express, on Win7.

We also run the Open Office suite, instead of Microsoft stuff... and I'm not prepared to spend $100's buying Outlook just for this purpose.

That's true I guess.... Basically all I want is a program, similar to the "Suite" provided with my old Nokia's and SonyErricsons..... something you install on the computer, you can edit your contacts and calendar easily from the PC (easier and quicker to type) then sync it all to the fone. I don't understand why this isn't included as a "standard" application with Win6.5, or the HD2. I try to get by with MyPhone, but as you said, it's not it's primary purpose.

Yes - I still have to research how to do this, as the methods/instructions I've found so far are a bit daunting, confusing, fiddly to a n00b like me !!!

Any you can specifically recommend? I'd prefer something free, from OpenMarket, or Handango or such like, but haven't found any as yet. I'm NOT trying to be a cheapskate.... I just figure that if I've spent $1000 (close to it) on a "Smartphone", then it should have basic things like Contact & Calendar editor for the PC included as standard
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
to be honest, since google are doing such a good job, i'd create a gmail account and sync my contacts and calendar with it. I'm using Exchange at work... so i don't need it.. but if i didn't have it, i'd definately use google.

try to set it up. if you stumble into some problems, let me know.

well updating/flashing a newer/custom modem can either help or hurt your vibrant...i forget the stock modem...but take the JK6 modem for example....it gives a little boost in signal strength at the cost of a little battery life.. there are others like the JI2 and JI6....the newest one JL1 is said the be the best one....balancing great signal strength and great battery life.....but it hasnt been comfirmed yet...im using the JK6 modem and it does give me better signal at the expense of faster battery drain.....and of course...READ EVERYTHING AND FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrizz:
Hi,

I'm planning on buying a Desire HD, but just curious about battery life before I lay down a grand on it.

At the moment I have an HTC Hero, when they were in their heyday many people complained about the short life on them. I can get 2 days out of mine, with syncing over wifi enabled the whole time. I put the complaints down to people with background apps sucking CPU or too much twitter/facebook/whatever crap syncing as well.

Now most of the reports of poor Desire HD battery I life are from people on their first charge (who clearly don't understand the characteristics of Li-ion batteries), people who expect to be able to thrash the phone all day with the screen on without it dying and generally people who just don't sound like they know what they're talking about.

I know there are two bugs which peg the CPU at 100%, the one fixed by having debugging on and the calendar bug, which sounds like it can be fixed by clearing calendar data or leaving syncing off. I think these were affecting some of the people who were complaining about the short battery life.

So my question for Desire HD owners is, can you last at least 6 am till 10 pm with a bit of use (something like 10 min browsing, 20 min IM, email syncing all day, 1 hr music, 20 min calls) without it dying? Currently my Hero does this fine and a full day without a charge is a requirement for me.

Thanks.

After the calibration (search forum for it) i got from 8am to 4pm the

following

day where the 15% warning hit. So do the calibration and you'll be as happy as i now am with it. I never got my iPhone 4 to last that long!

I haven't taken any precautions to save battery life and I am getting 25-26 hours on a full charge...and now having had the phone for 2-3 weeks it seems to be getting even better!! I've been getting 36 hours out of a full charge these past 3 days.

I do not turn wifi off. I have screen brightness on auto. Syncing lots of stuff hourly (even weather!). I use 3g when I go out but this is about 2-3 hours tops on week days cause I have wifi everywhere i go. battery life has never been an issue for me and I use my phone frequently...play games for 20-30 mins. watch videos via. skynews, listen to some music etc. etc.

As for the bugs...I do not have usb debugging turned on and I have never had the /INIT problem...perhaps it was fixed in the last update? and the calender bug...never had that problem either and I use my calander with google calander, facebook, holidays and person agenda.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basil3:
I think you'll easily last a day with the usage you mention. As a rule, I think you normally get up to 4 hours display on usage off a charge (browsing, messaging, watching vids etc).

I'm travelling from Ireland to NZ on Monday, which will equate to 36 hours travelling with probably no access to a charge, and lots of time spent sitting around using my dhd. There's no way the phone will last right through, so have bought a 5000mAh USB battery pack for £20.
