Not sure if you will lose some settings when you apply the settings.apk. You may want to look into other roms that have the colored icons too and extract the settings.apk from it. Maybe one closer to the rom you are using?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rbtady:
Thanks,

I'll try it.

Edit: Worked well, thanks. I used the settings from pepperkake.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhesselmans:
Hey guys! I have a bit of an issue. I recently installed the SlideIT keyboard on my Desire Z. I decided I didn't like it so I uninstalled it. But now when I go into my app drawer, my dock,(the thing with the phone app, customization and app drawer icon), doesn't go away. So now it blocks the app on the right side of the app drawer when in landscape mode. You can't do anything with it either, it's just sitting there. Does anyone have any an idea why this happens and how I can undo it?

Thanks,

[HD2 General] I'm A Dork Fish:
Okay, i was having some problems with my phone so I went by t-mobile. He said that there was a new software update and asked if I had backed up my phone. I said no. He said to do that first...

When I got home i tried to microsoft my phone. After about 45 mins of downloading, i gave up. Then tried active sync. I thought that I only needed to backup my contacts and calendar. Wrong!!

This is where I went wrong...

I missed the step that said, "take out your storage card before performing software upgrade". and with that said. my whole phone was wiped out. I had nine icons left after update.

Camera

Blockbuster

Transformers

Mobitv

Barnes & Noble

Facebook

YouTube

GuitarHero

Marketplace

Everything else. Gone!! Camcorder, flashlight, etc. gone.

I called T-mobile and they said that there was nothing that they could do.

So that brings me here. Is there anything that I can do to bring this phone back to the way it was when I purchased it?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Yep. Sure is. Download the stock T-Mobile US 2.13 ROM and flash it, should return your device back to bone stock.
[HD2 General] I'm A Dork Fish:
Thank you! A couple questions...

When I download the 2.13 version, do I download it with my storage card installed?

When you say flash it, what exactly does that entail?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
You can, or you can remove it...doesn't really matter as flashing doesn't touch your SD card. And by flashing I mean running the update with your phone connected to your computer.

Anyone knows what are good headphones w/remote and mic for Nexus S? I tried Sony MDR-EX38iP, but encountered two problems: <major> sound volume is very low, and <minor> volume up/down buttons don't work. Any ideas/suggestions?

graemegb, do all the remote functions work, e.g. track skip?

I have a pair of iPhone compatiable earphones (Ultimate Ears SuperFi v5i) and only the pause/resume function works. Was the same with the HTC HD7 and Desire HD.

I'm not too fussed about Volume, would just like to be able to skip tracks.

no, the play/pause button works but nothing else

I have Bose MIE2 and Sennheiser MM60.

The button only works with play/pause.
[Nexus S Accessories] KnightMAREcrow:
I'd suggest going for AIAIAI y-com headphones, although they do not include a remote inline for volume. They are great though and I've had them for about a year with no complaints.

Check out http://www.aiaiai.dk/headsets/y-com/y-com-grey.html

I have the grey ones, but they also come in black. Make sure you go for the Y-Com and not the Y-model, those do not have the mic.

You don't have to buy them from their website, a quick search will yield local results for shopping.

I use Sony HBH-IS800 Bluetooth Headphones - basically just two buds connected by a wire. They only have one button which plays/pauses music or answers an incoming call. Good sound quality.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willmatic:
It sounds like the bluetooth stack on most Vibrant ROMs including stock will not work with apps like WiimoteController. The only one that I've seen that is advertised to do so is Cyanogen's. Does anyone know of any other ROMs that use the older, or UK Bluetooth stack that will allow this app to function? I'm currently using Nero3 and wouldn't give it up for anything.... accept maybe the ability to play River City Ransom with a physical controller.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achiles:
No one is gonna answer this yet because the scene is too wild with gingerbread and all being out from the nexus s, The problem is that the nexus s uses bluetooth 2.1 hardware, so we wont be seeing anybody adding another one to it like cyanogen has. I waited patiently for the last 5-6 months and nothing has changed. and nothing will unless other manufacturers start using the same stack, or some developer re-writes ours, we will see.
[G Tablet General] dlike:
I would like to use SD Card2 as a place to dump my mp3s and videos, but can't get any of the media players to recognize it. Astro sees it fine though. Is this a problem with Vegan or is this just not supported by the media players I've tried thus far?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Yes to both, perhaps:

1. Previous Vegan builds could not see the sdcard2, but I think newer builds do.

2. Most media apps only see the microsd, which in the Gtablet's case is the internal storage. Not many treat all storage as one database. Some allow picking what directory in what storage.
[G Tablet General] leatherhead:
Have to tried to navigate to the file through a file explorer and choosing the appropriate app at that point...seems to work for me in most cases.

VEGAn 1.0.0 beta 4 should work with the microSD - however, keep in mind that there is also a known issues with image and video files that have gone missing it (which we think it the new TnT kernel).

try rockplayer, it has built-in file browser that can browse the external microsd card as well (atucally the whole file system).

Anyone tried sending an SMS with non-Latin characters? I've tried using Russian (Cyrillic), Hebrew, and Chinese characters in my SMS's from T-Mobile to folks on AT&T & Verizon and they look like a sequence of * characters. For example, "привет, как дела?" turns into "******, *** ****?" Same for Hebrew and Chinese. I can *receive* non-Latin unicode SMS's and MMS's and all the characters appear correctly, though. What's causing this and how do I correct it -- highly annoying, especially since my 4-yr Nokia N95 handled these absolutely fine...

I have looked at my APN settings and they all look the same as what is posted in the main sticky, was missing the password but that seems to make no difference.

Any clues?

Greetings :)

For a few days now i am running an Android build on my HD2. Not exclusively, since i have some apps on my WinMo build that i do not want to abandon (as a matter of fact i don´t want to abandon WinMo as well).

Running both OS works quite well for me, so there is no reason for me to choose just one of both.

Only thing that bothered me (quite a bit actually) was the fact, that i could not have my text messages on both OS. Now there might be those of you, who wouldn´t deem this as very important, but for me it is, so i tried to work this out and am happy to have found a way, which I would like to share with you.

I admit, that it may be a somewhat lengthy and tedious procedure, but unless there is no faster way to do this, it´s fine with me and after all, no pain no gain :D

I do want my messages on both OS´ and if that means that once in a while i´ll be occupied in front of my laptop, then so be it :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Migrating messages from WinMo to Android

Migrating text messages from WinMo to Android is quite easy, i´ll include this, so both directions are stated in this post.

Install the cab from this link http://www.sorobangeeks.com/software/sms-exporter-05-free-download

Unfortunately i do not know the creator of this cab, it was something i found in my many searchs. This one was very useful for me, if ever the originator of this little program should stumble across my thread, THANK YOU :)

Run it and let it export your text message (creates an xml-file in a folder which is mentioned after exporting the text messages).

Now you have to load the created xml-file with an xml-editor and edit the lines as follows.

Original line in xml-file:

<sms protocol="0" address=""SENDERS NAME" <SENDERS NUMBER>" date="1281196885000" type="1" body="TEXT MESSAGE" status="-1" read="1" />

Edited line you need in Android: (else the senders name and number are not displayed correctly and will not be added to the specific contact).

<sms protocol="0" address="SENDERS NUMBER" date="1281196885000" type="1" body="TEXT MESSAGE" status="-1" read="1" />

After that, boot up Android and load “SMS Backup + Restore” by Ritesh Sahu from Android Market (it´s for free).

From there you can import the edited xml-file into Android and migration this way is done :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Migrating messages from Android to WinMo

For migrating the messages from Android to WinMo you have to perform the following steps:

Load the app “SMS Backup” from Michele Valentini from the Android Market (free, as well) and export the messages in Android.

Again you have to open the created xml-file with an xml-editor and edit the lines.

One text message in this file looks like this:

<sms _id="55" thread_id="9" toa="0" address="SENDERS NUMBER" person="135" date="1287921897000" protocol="0" read="1" status="-1" type="1" reply_path_present="" subject="" body="TEXT MESSAGE" sc_toa="0" report_date="" service_center="" locked="0" index_on_sim="-1" callback_number="" priority="0" htc_category="0" cs_timestamp="-1" cs_id="" cs_synced="0" error_code="0" seen="0" human_readable_date="DATE AND TIME" name="SENDERS NAME"/>

Now open the XML template I have enclosed to this post and copy /paste the data of those text messages you want to have in WinMo as well.

-	SENDERS NUMBER (with “+” and country code)

-	TEXT MESSAGE (who´d have thought :D)

-	DATE AND TIME

-	SENDERS NAME

<message date="DATE AND TIME" sender=""SENDERS NAME" <+SENDERS NUMBER>" recipient="">TEXT MESSAGE</message>

I was using a WWE Rom, so the format of the date might be dependent from the ROM you are using. I suppose if, for example, you are using a german ROM you will have to enter the date in the german format (dd.mm.yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy).

Keep a look out for the date, the content of the xml file has to be correct, else it will not be imported (which doesn´t do any harm anyways, so…)

I had to change the format, since Android was running in german and WinMo in WWE English.

You can repeat this for all the received and sent messages, and you can add only those messages you want to import to WinMo, regardless whether there are more messages already saved in WinMo or not. The tool (also enclosed) will import the data in the xml-file and leave all other messages, which already are in WinMo alone. You do not have to “import” all your messages, just the ones you are missing in WinMo).

By the way, the attached tool is an .exe file which just has to be copied to the phone and then can be executed directly, installation is not necessary.

After the messages are imported, go to the messages tab and open “all messages” once. I am using pyrorob´s HTC messaging client, the first thing it did was close right away, just open it again and you will see that while closing itself it imported the new text messages into a (maybe already existing) conversation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
I tried this several times with my HD2 (you can see the OS´ I am using in my signature) and it worked just fine

.

I would however strongly recommend to backup your messages prior to trying this out. I did several runs with this until at last I got it working and did not loose any data whatsoever, but I won´t take responsibility for any data losses you might encounter.

You shouldn´t, there is no reason, but as always take care, mind your steps, take all the necessary preparations, you never know :)

I hope this is helpful for at least a few of you, since I have been a member of this forum, I was able to benefit from the talents, the experience and the know how of so many members, maybe I can give a little something back.

Happy new year everyone :)

useful for me and knowing that there is a solution to my problem migrating out of Windows Mobile 6.5 to Android for my SMS's are about 21,000 now :D

if this can migrate 21,000 SMS's , im sure anyone out there would be covered :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
21.000 messages? Really? Can´t quite imagine running WinMo and Android for so long that the messages received on android would reach that high a number.

Now that kinda work i would call diligent :D

EDIT: Ah, you are talking about migrating from WinMo to Android, that of course is different, sorry i misread that.

I´d try deleting the contacts, so the exported xml file out of WinMo doesn´t contain the sender´s name at all, so you won´t have to edit them out of the xml file. Give it a try :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mithrandir007:
Thanks for the tutorial, but it seems your link is not correct (there's a ... in the link as well, not only in the text).

Since you didn't mention the name of the app, I don't really know what to search for either.

Could you please post the link again (or the name of the app)?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
I´ll edit the link in my previuos post, the link was working, but now it seems to have died.

Before exporting your messages from WinMo delete all your contacts (you can backup and restore them with PIM backup or ActiveSync), this way you won´t have to edit the xml-file at all.

The exporter is from Ritesh Sahu and is called SMS Exporter 0.5 (if ever the link should die again), the same dev as the Android App needed to import the messages to Android.

Thank you Ritesh :)

I´m glad this was useful to you :) Since i have switched to a NAND build i don´t need the migration from android to WinMo anymore, and i find the migration from WinMo to Android very easy as well :D

I never came around to trying this, but if my memory serves me well, there should be a line in the appropriate xml file "<folder name="Drafts">".

However i suppose this is the folder with those sms which are waiting to be sent and will be pushed to the "sent" folder after transmission, so this would not be the solution you are looking for.
