Please can you make more detail on how to install this app?

Thanks. Am just a newbie on Android.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
I think he just copied the skype folder from a rooted phone but that's not enough. We need an .apk file to setup.

Get it from here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3YSNJFYP
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] rosswaa:
Err no that is an apk
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
Then maybe I missed something. I just found a zip file which extracted the folder structure of the app.

Anyway, with a "skype .apk" google search I found the apk above, it's ver. 1.0.0.538 and from where I downloaded it says it's the latest. I have no idea if it is or not though.

I tried it and it works ok except for very bad ringtones/sounds.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
BUT, if I open it with Opera it downloads correctly. With IE, it only downlads by right-click>save target as and then a zip file is downloaded. With Opera I downloaded apk file as you said.

What version is yours?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] rosswaa:
Its 1.0.0.659
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
ok, so yours is newer. I will uninstall mine and use yours :)

thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] rosswaa:
No probs :D

I have Skype. Downloaded it from the Market but I'm not using it. Bad performance. Keeps on giving me slow and choppy calls whenever I try to use it and is also having conflicts with the What's App application. The Skype app on my Nokia E72 is actually better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randyreed1971:
Hi guys, I am currently running a rooted hero with the fresh ROM. I have been going back and forth now on upgrading to the EVO. I finally couldnt stand it no more so I took the plunge! My EVO is gonna be here tuesday. The bigger screen and processor did me in...........

Anyway, I am thinking about rooting my EVO when I get it. I am looking for a "close to stock" ROM with all the sprint goodies......all the bells and whistles......but I am looking for a stable ROM and one that maybe I can remove the apps that I dont want. Maybe I can use a good ROM that you guys suggest and "add" some of the sprint apps that I want? Any inquiries will be greatly appreciated. I cant wait to see what this thing will do! :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamspiced:
Well randy..

Thats the joys of rooting and flashing new roms. you find one that best fits you.

You can look for a sense based stock rom, but you wont really be able to remove the apps yourself.

I would reccomend abandoning sprints bloatware. You will also look to expect superior battery life over stock.

my reccomendations are

Fresh's newest rom

netarchy kernal

Launcher Pro

and find what makes you happy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
If you want stock I would gi with fresh also, then try myn. If you wanna aosp definitely cm! I wouldn't root for a week or two just so u know what's what.

Find out how the evo works, what it will and won't do..that way if you have issues when you root, you will know before you can blame the rom.

If I was a sense user I'd roll with myns rom, but it isn't stock
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
You should definitely try the ReEngineered 3.70 rom. Its almost completely stock, but is very fast and stable. But as the others said, you really should explore all of the options available. It really is a very personal choice. Good luck and happy flashing!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
I was always a fan of DamageControl for a Sense based ROM. I'm partial to CyanogenMod now, though. I love not having the Sprint bloatware on my phone anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
Well froyo's got some changes from 2.1. On the hero a2sd is partition based in the sd-ext. On froyo Trever's Dark tremor is available, but a built in file-descriptor "semi" partition is symlinked ( and readily broken ) leading to all sdcard apps disappearing.

Watch out for the 1.90.. pri as of yet.

Read and re-read your rooting method based on your evo's hboot number.

Have fun. I still enjoy my hero.

[General Questions and Answers] linkgx1:
I hope I'm posting this in the right forums (I read the rules, but still).

Anyways, I'm wanting into get into Android development like doing applications or even hacking roms. I'm always reading at how awesome you guys are at developing stuff. Sadly, I don't have much experience. Majoring in Computer Engineering, but I can't wait for years.

So does anyone have any points on how to get started? Even if it takes me a year, I'm fine. I just want to get to know this stuff. Can I start with, say, Java? Thanks, and I apologize if this is the wrong board!:eek:
[General Questions and Answers] philmhow:
I would definitelly recommend first familiarizing yourself with Java and getting the language down and going to learn how to turn that knowledge into developing for Android from there. There are a lot of easy to find ways to learn Java right online from Youtube and articles people have written, however Android is a little harder to find help learning. Everyone seems to want you to pay them ridiculous amounts of money. And when you do find tutorials on it they will assume you have an advanced knowledge of working with the Java Development Kit and normally Eclipse as well.
[General Questions and Answers] ehmad:
Hi! But even if i learn "well" (not to mention basics) can i customize any rom as i wish or rather make some changes on? I've to get into java world beacuse my knowledges about are not necessary as android deserve...

Thanks in advance! :D
[General Questions and Answers] Solid Mercury:
For app development, u hav to learn java and google APIs thoroughly.. u can learn from various development forums..

For Rom tweaking u need to learn linux scripts and other stuffs like directory tree n much more..

I had Fission 2.3.1, there was a addon download for the stock Android Keyboard. I flashed the Gingerbread Keyboard, but had the miny issue, no density program I have tried makes it persist through reboot. I flashed to Fission 2.4, would like to have the stock Android Keyboard back. Anyone have the flashable zip of the stock keyboard still?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm a dumbass. It was in my /sdcard/fission/addons folder. Took me posting to figure that thought train out. However, hopefully this will help those that didn't make a backup.

I bootstrapped into Clockwork Recovery, then mounted system, then flashed .zip from sdcard. Went into the Fission, Addons folder and there it was.

I installed Metamorph to install Darknessv2.5 theme. But whenever i run it I get an error saying "Some Files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system.". Attached is a screenshot.

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Dumb question I know but are you using the cwm flashable darkness file?

Other than that try uninstalling and reinstalling metamorph. It normally does give errors but only the first time you run the app in ntt experience
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oriongaby:
I wouldn't need metamorph if I flash it trough CWM. So yeah dumb question.

Just tried and nope, same error again.

Thanks anyway tho. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Most of the time its duet o MetaMorph not extracting the zip correctly. Easiest way to fix it is you will have a folder called Android Themes under your SDCard.

Just unzip the MetaMorph on your desktop and copy the <theme name> Folder into that one on your SDCard and the error should go away.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oriongaby:
What do you mean with "unzip the MetaMorph"? I made a folder called "Android Themes" on my sdcard and moved the theme zip in there. Still doesn't works, it's giving me the same error and I have like a 100MB free on /system.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
I think he is saying to extract the fileon your computer and then move it to the themes folder on your phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oriongaby:
Well, the thing is Metamorph won't even run. It gives me the error when it does the initial check.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
What rom are you running? I have not had any trouble with metamorph aside from the normal first install errors...always works fine the second time it is opened except for one rom I was using a while ago that also had other issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Yup never had an issue using MetaMorph on any ROM I've had.

And I had requested that you take the metamorph.zip (the theme) and unzip it then copy it to your SDCard.

But if it is failing right when you start the application.

Try re-installing the app.

Or go to the Metamorph form on XDA here and do some research.

I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 stable and every time I try to flash it the rom will at some point within the first 30 minutes of using it reboot. After that point it will start sporadicly rebooting. I've tried everything from flashing the stock rom and flashing back to even unrooting it and rerooting it but nothing has worked. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the rom itself though as I had these same problems running myn's twopointtwo rls4. The odd thing is though that when I run the most recent rooted stock rom I haven't seemed to have these problems. I could be mistaken about the stock one though because I haven't run it for very long. I'm going to try a few things with cyanogen and if I keep having problems I'll probably flash the stock one and see if they go away. But has anybody else had this problem and if so do they know how to fix it?

edit: turns out my battery has some sort of short in it because I replaced it with my spare and haven't had any problems.
[Epic 4G General] awesome456:
Hi guys,

I've looked in other threads, but there doesn't seem to be any solid answers for myself... I've seen some threads about flashing the Sprint epic to Cricket...

does this apply to other providers such as Bell in Canada?

I bought an epic thinking all cdma network should be compatible... until I got the phone and called Bell to activate the phone, they told me it won't work because the phone is locked to the Sprint provider.

I understand there really isn't an "unlocking" procedure for cdma phones, what can I do? I've spent a great deal of money over shipping and tax.

Please help me out,

Kevin
[Captivate General] quiksandjesus:
First post. I love these forums.

The reason I started this thread is, I flashed axura last week and loved everything about it except the exchange lock. On the stock Rogers rom I only need to put the passcode in once every hour or so.

With axura I had to put it in everytime the screen turned off. This was just too much.

Research in these forums showed me that it seems to be a froyo thing. Is it a set Froyo thing or do different Roms handle this differently?

I dunked my phone in water but rescued it quickly and dried it out. The phone mostly works except for two dead spots where the W and S keys are in portrait mode. (When I press each of these keys, they register either or both of the letters next to them on the keyboard.) I have the same problem whether using the stock or swype keyboard.

I will dry the phone out more, between uses to see if ridding the phone of any excess moisture helps.

Any ideas on the problem and solution?

I don't have TEP. Given that the phone is rooted and probably has wet damage indications, would Sprint repair the screen or digitizer if I paid the $35? The phone is five weeks old.

If not, would self-repair with a digitizer bought off the internet likely fix the problem? Or is the problem likely to be elsewhere upstream of the digitizer?

Usually, and I mean usually, these things are dried for a couple of days. With batteries pulled.

Get access to a real desiccator with something like Drierite, have them suck all the all air out with a water aspirator, and leave it in for a few hours.

That ought to do it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theory916:
I went Jet Skiing with my EVO a while back, and got it completely soaked. The phone went completely dead, so I took out the battery and let it dry. After drying in the sun for a while, I turned it on, and it was able to boot, but my entire screen was a different color with blotches of water marks. I tried drying it out in the sun some more, putting it in rice, you name it. Nothing worked, but it ended up fixing itself after a few days. The water marks just slowly went away, now it is completely back to normal. I hope its the same case with yours. My EVO has the OLED screen, not the Super LCD.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Has nobody here learned the "bag of rice" trick? Put a handful or two of dry rice into a ziplock bag. Take your battery out of your phone, leave the cover off and put all of it in the bag of rice. Leave it for 24 hours. It's worked for everyone I know almost every time.

Now, jetskiing with your phone might be a bit much, but it'll fix a phone dropped in a toilet and rescued fairly quickly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamicpda:
The dead zone problem came back and now I have discovered it is a whole strip running up and down the length of the screen pass through the W and S keys in portrait mode; if I use the phone in landscape mode with the keyboard on that side, the whole lower strip of keys do not work. (The temp solution is the type in landscape on the other side.)

I drove to the market the moment it happened and got instant rice to dry it out in. Later I got Damp-Rid from Home Depot.

I haven't seen a real dessicator since chem lab back in college. I do have a food saver vacuum sealer.... if i could find the missing hose part I lost!

One other problem with the display is it being washed out and streaky (vertically) sometimes upon boot. This started happening BEFORE the dunk; I'm still seeing it from time to time. Rebooting once or twice usually fixes it.
