[Droid X Themes and Apps] elfysrfr:
If you can kill the task you can force close it. Long hold on the app, then select force close and it should do the trick. Ive had that issue too but force closing should work with most apps.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] The5ickne55:
Is there a way to make a shortcut to the default app manager?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] will2live:
Agreed, Task killers are a total waste in the Android environment. I've found over the years my devices runs better, faster, and has better battery life when I stopped using a Task killer.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pokedroid:
This is correct. The "nervous system" (so to speak) is built on process management. I'll try to explain it as quickly and as plainly as I can :)

On a computer and some other devices, you want to close an application when you are finished with them, because a running program will continue to draw on system resources even when you aren't using it. This is not the case with Android. When an app is not running/in use (best example: pandora. running=on the screen, in use=streaming music in the background), it is in a "frozen" state. While the app appears to be taking up memory, the allocated space isn't actually being used. Instead, it's reserved for that application. So while the memory is not "free", it is also NOT being used constantly.

Task killers are useful if you download an app that causes your system to slow, that way you can kill it then remove it. But most apps are going to open themselves back up in a few minutes anyway, and they are designed to do so.

Summary: over a long period of time, frequent task killing will drain more battery than it saves.

Hi All,

Does anyone know of an app (other than quick desk [too slow]) that will go in your notification bar that can change music controls (i.e. skip, previous, pause and play)? (Similar to the one in desire hd)? Please remember, other than quick desk!

Thanks so much,

i am trying to root my buddies droid 1 using "Easy Root". i start the app, click root and it says root successful. it then prompts me to reboot my phone. i do so and then open easy root again. instead of being rooted and having superuser permissions, easy root only gives me the option to click "Root" again. i try using wifi tether and it says im not rooted.

anyone else have this problem

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackstein:
SOLVED!

I have now idea why but after i replaced the battery the phone just booted OK and it's updated to:

2.2.1 - last version.

I hope there's nothing wrong with the device, that I will discover in the future.

Waiting for the 2.3 update to be sure that everything is OK.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I was putting on a screen protector and the water got to the screen now the lower part of the screen is very white. Still very readable. What do ya'll recommend I do?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bongd:
Is the liquid damage indicator normal? If so, swap it out with your provider. If it indicates liquid damage then see if there's an out-of-warranty replacement option and cross your fingers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
You could try drying it out with rice or silica dessicant. It might take a few days. Got any picts?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Anyone know how many liquid damage stickers are on the device? I know the one by the battery is still white. What the hell do i say. I just woke up and it was damaged.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gravityrat:
That happened on my G1 and someone told me to pull the battery and set it on top of the refrigerator over night.

I know it sounds weird but the next morning it was dry. Something about the warm dry air coming from behind the fridge.
[G2 and Desire Z General] illogic6:
This guy is right.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
Put it on anything that radiates heat, nothing extreme but something that is somewhat warm to the touch. Refrigerator works well, also a PC, DVD player left running, etc.

Leave the battery out for 24-48 hours and see if it dries up the moisture...
[G2 and Desire Z General] bongd:
Dry heat will help but be careful in case there's something that produces humidity nearby. I wouldn't leave mine on an appliance in the kitchen. I'd opt for an actual desiccant like silica. If you have a new jacket or pair of shoes you can find a packet in there. It's a long shot but rice also works in a pinch.

If that fails I'd send it to the OEM and play stupid. I don't think there are other LDIs in the device but if there are, I don't believe your provider would charge you a replacement fee because you checked the only one that's accessible. Just check it out with the respected technical department you talk to before sending it on, or ask a retail rep if your provider has a store or kiosk at a nearby mall. Just say you normally keep it in your pocket or in a protective case and boom, screen got messed up. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] pierrekid:
Same thing happened to mine, def the computer or fridge is a great way to get rid of the water. But only dry heat!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, it doesn't seem that huge problem, just give it some time and warmth ;)

Some people have heated the (electric) oven up to 40-50°C and put the phone there, but I would recommend that only if any other method doesn't help..
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
Dry rice or silica dessicant. Take out the battery and stick it in there for a few days and it will be good as new.

Don't heat it, it won't work any better than this method.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Well I let it dry on top if my cable box and I happy to report all but four very very little dots dried up. I've learned my lesson and will only be doing dry installs for now on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Weaseal:
THE WATER? What water? Why on earth were you using water as part of this process?
[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
Some of these clear body shields are wet-applicant. They come with a little thing of liquid adhesive that you apply first. I've been around phones long enough to know that they don't play well with water, so I've steered clear, but I know plenty of people who don't have issues with them.

For the record, every wet-applicant protection system I've ever seen explicitly states that you should only apply it with the battery out and leave it out to dry for ~48 hours (to prevent exactly this).
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Yes but this is my only phone and there's no way I can not use the phone for that long.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
Haha, very creative. I wouldn't even think to use a cable box as the heat source even though I've been running one of those laptop cooling fan bases upside down on top of mine to vent the heat that was killing hard drives.

When messing around with phones to the degree that most of us do, it's always a good idea to keep a cheapo backup around.
[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
I would highly recommend picking up a cheap backup - you never know when you'll need it. Typically you can just snag the cheapest prepaid phone that T-Mobile offers, they usually have something for $20 or less. Toss the SIM it comes with and just keep it around for an extra. That way, if something were to happen with your main phone, you've got *something* to keep you going until you can figure out a replacement.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Weaseal:
yeah, and if this is not your first T-mobile phone, you can just go back to the old phone for a day or two while you wait.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gatorrph:
Mine had the same thing from a paper cup leak onto the table my G2 was sitting on. It didn't resolve with the rice/heat tricks but T-mo switched it out under warranty. No down time because they ship the replacement and you send the defective one back in the same box.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
Get closet dehumidifier. It's at Walgreens in the hardware section. It comes in a plastic tub and you put it in your closet to remove moisture from your clothes. They're little white beads in a basket with a cup underneath to catch the moisture. Put your phone in an enclosed space with that.

If the water was clean it should leave no residue. If it was soapy then you will probably have marks left over afterwards

:-(
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
Be careful with that stuff- it should work well, but don't get any on your phone because it's corrosive. It's sold at hardware stores as Damp-Rid.

It will then keep repeating the same screen on and off every few minutes(I can tell it's trying to boot up but it just can't). Is my phone bricked? worse still i cant get into recovery since it is factory disabled and i don't think I can access it with Android SDK since the phone needs to be turned on into debugging mode! what should I do to fix this and avoid visiting the service centre? I can't visit the service centre because i have been grounded and can't even leave the house, and my parents are gonna kick up a fuss if they find out I messed with the phone they spent so much money on for my birthday gift and now I have to trouble them again. Sigh :confused:

Hi,

I dont know if this already exist on the forum or not:) just found it useful and post it.

original from

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/103776-theme-gingerbread-cm6-1-a.html

I apply this on

update-0.04-10.12.12-cm-6.1.0-Milestone-signed.zip latest cm rom and it works well even tho it was for droid cm rom;P (no sure about this) and it doesn't have led issue. I dont have test much about this, at less when there is a missed call,my led light is blue not green by default.

Important: If you found gingerbread keyboard not fit on your machine.Delete the LatinIME.apk and it's lib inside. use cm's default keyboard instead, because gingerbread keyboard layout looks ugly in my milestone.very small. can't barely type on it.

and there might be problem on the latest market too. replace Vending.apk with cm one.

now here is what oringal thread says. credits to benny for this great theme:

-----------

This theme is built from 100% Gingerbread SDK images. Also included is the official Gingerbread keyboard. Hope you all enjoy this early Christmas treat

Note: If you want the official Gingerbread Launcher its available in the market

READ ME: Make sure you have enough space in your /system/app partition before installing themes on CM6.1. If you install and it doesnt take, it means you ran out of space. Delete any htc .apks and market apps first! If you try installing this after a fresh install of CM6.1 it will not work.

[G Tablet General] Skempo:
Hi everyone, I have been checking out the G Tablet forums for about a week now, anxiously awaiting my tablet to arrive. Again like others I bought the unit based on what I have read here. It from what I can tell has the best hardware over any other tablet.

What I am trying to understand is the whole ROM update process.

When customizing as several people on this forum have done, with TnT Lite, and Vegan I am curious how this is done.

From my understanding of what ROM stands for is "Read Only Memory" meaning it can only be read and not changed.

So when updating/changing ROMs are you actually getting into the code and changing programming code, or are you just changing system/application files?

Sorry for babbling just curious as to what goes into the modding process.
