As a follow up I've set my old g1 up with sipdroid and google voice for free wifi calling and texts.

I also set it up with a combo of ip cam view and webkey so that it can be used as a webcam over a wifi area.

It's a couple of cool things honestly, really love the proof of concept feeling about them, even if I don't use them.

I'm willing to try out other ideas. =P

Hey all I figured I'd post a little review on the service I've had through Samsung on getting my phone repaired and keep you updated along with ask any questions if anyone had any.

Reason for Repair - Phone had developed lots of wiggle on the screen and my keyboard was getting scratched and scuffed when I slid open the phone.

Heres a time log -

12.20.10 - Requested Service over the phone cause online tried to charge me $70 for repair. Service rep was happy to help me file a service request along with give me 2ND Day Air, shipping where as online it was like $15 and ground was free. So I printed out the labeled, stripped my phone ( battery, battery cover, microsd ) packaged it up and sent it off next day.

12.23.10 - UPS tracking says it was received but no updates from Samsung.

12.24.10 - 12.27.10 - No info from Samsung.

12.28.10 - Samsung marked as received and gave me a link to track my repair progress ( Didn't work ) Called Samsung and rep told me that the technician had received my phone and was diagnosing it.

12.29.10 - Visited the website and around 5:00pm tonight, Tech updated the repair notes on the website - "REPLACED LCD, FLEX, TOUCH KEY PBA, LOWER, KEY PAD AND FRONT"

So so far I'm beyond happy and am just eager to get my phone back!

UPDATE :

12.30.10 - Received an email saying the item was shipped today again 2ND Day Air, So I'm hoping I get it tomorrow night, their located in Texas and I'm in California, so I'm crossing my fingers!

Sincerely,

D3luSi0n4L

I use both GO Launcher and GO SMS as of today....very amazing.

Beats LauncherPro and ADW IMO.

Allows a folder style just like the iphones in the app drawer where you drag and drop apps on apps to make folders. It also allows different app drawer styles....left to right scrolling or top to bottom.

It also has re sizable widgets...just like launcher pro plus.

Its overall the snappiest launcher i've used.

Here's some screenshots of my setup!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] david11c:
I have paid versions on LP and ADW Ex. I am currently using Go Launcher. It is fast and unobtrusive. I always worry that by adding more features the launchers get bogged down.

I will probably try customizing ADW some more but right now I like Go launcher. I used LP for the longest time before.

People keep requesting more and more features in the Go Launcher thread in the Android Apps section. I actually hope they don't add to much.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] stroths:
Just gave both a try. I really like the go launcher, but its missing a few things I like. I would like the ability to shrink the dock size and put a custom background. I like the app drawermuch better than lp or ADW.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to set up a HQ Wallpaper ?

i've been searching n the forums and just found one thread somewhere but no good answer for it.

if i want to set a wallpaper from my gallery , the DHD crops the Photo/Picture and i get a part of my desired wallpaper as background (yeah even when the wallpaper has been resized to match the resolution on the dhd that damn thing still wants to crop -> very blurred , not even close to sharp picture)

tried wallpaper set and go from the android market -> failure

tried flikie from the market -> failure

is ist even possible to have good images as wallpapers (except for the included stock ones and live wallpapers) ?

any help would be appreciated

well i have successfully installed CM-6.1 and alas, no google apps!

i have the gapps.zip file ready, but seeing as i dont have a data plan i have a question.

when i enter recovery mode and hit wipe data / factory reset, and then flash my google apps, will i have to re-activate my phone after it boots?

and also, after i wipe data / factoy reset will i need to reflash CM-6.1?

if so, can i get the flashing steps i need to take?

all help is greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

Looks like case mate made official their case for the samsung focus (other than just by the AT&T store: http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Focus-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Focus-Pop-Cases.asp

EDIT (on 11-01-2010):

Just received the black version from case-mate. The reason for the case being 30$-ish, it includes a screen protector kit. I can defenitively tell that the black version looks slicker than the red one. But that's a mater of personal taste. I mean it's slicker in a way that it look like it's more *part* of the phone, meaning its less obvious that you have a case on it. Anyway that's my 2 cents :)
[Focus Accessories] ITDRAGON:
Pretty nice, but 35 bucks??? lol Otterboxes go for that much. :eek:
[Focus Accessories] AngelSpirit:
I have the red version (ordered on ebay) and it's really great, not too soft and harder in the back, I don't mind paying that much for a case, when I paid several hundreds for my phone.

I've got a red one on order... What do you think of it? I have seen a video review but it sucks...
[Focus Accessories] AngelSpirit:
I really like it, it's really great and makes handing the phone better (grip is better).

It does makes the phone a little bit heavier and bulkier, but I mean thats normal it's a case :P

I purchased the red pop case when i bought the phone and it was a nice case. Very sturdy but an extremely tight fit. So tight that when I tried to pry out my phone one day a small platic piece right under the micro usb cutout broke. The phone certainly pops out when you pullllllll it out. Either way iam dissapointed I wasted $35 bucs on that case but very content with my body glove snap case.

On a side note how efffed up is it that otterbox make a case the dell venue, which by the way hasnt had a wide release, and hasnt made one the the focus? Makes no sense...

[Focus Accessories] steeldragonnyc:
Nice!!! I just got the black one. I love the case
[Focus Accessories] chizzwhizz:
i broke off the thin red strip where the micro usb slot is...this allows you to take the case off and put it back on with ease...case will still retain its tighness on the phone
[Focus Accessories] wildbilll:
In the process of taking a picture of the sd card for another thread here on the focus site under general, I took off the case to get to the memory card.

When I was putting the Case Mate back on, one end of the thin part broke. This is definitely a weak spot in the design.

Did you remove it (the red strip) completely, and if so did you cut away the rubber gasket or leave that?
[Focus Accessories] chizzwhizz:
i left the rubber there. The thin red strip makes it so hard to remove the case but without it, the rubber there can expand for easy removal.

To wildbill,

I have this case and I ordered a leather holster off of Amazon and it arrived earlier today. It fits but it is a little tight, but I think it will break in and loosen up in a few weeks. If you you want I can take some pictures, just let me know.
[Focus Accessories] swtrader:
Why does AT&T only carry the RED case? can't find the black one any where except Case Mate's own web site.
[Focus Accessories] s2welee:
I HAD this case and returned it after it broke. The little cutout that wraps around the USB broke after a few removals of the phone. Swapped it for the Incipio and I am pleased. That spot on the Case Mate looks like it was not well thought out and will always be a problem. I was pretty dissapointed for a $35 case.
[Focus Accessories] darevrin43:
I have had this case on the phone for about a month now and it has worked wonderfully. Protects my phone, fits tight but for me easy to remove also when i need to take it off.

[HOW TO] MANUALLY CHANGE YOUR FONT

(my first guide <3)​

(moderator: can you please make these images and fix all my links? Can't due to post count. ;.; thanks)

imgur(dawt)com/k5qHF.png

imgur(dawt)com/ZtbDM.png
​

Ok, I've been told there's an app in market to do all this for you called "Font Installer". If you want, you can be done here and try it out. It costs $1. (I haven't done so myself) However, I prefer the manual way because I'm still learning about all what I can now do with my EVO and I have no credit card! (I just rooted yesterday, literally! XD)

1) Go to ge(dawt)tt/7PwAhJe

2) Download the files. Extract them.

3) Pay attention.

Paste your font file into the folder. Make a copy of it. Name one of the copies DroidSans.ttf (overwrite the one already there) and the other Clocktopia.ttf (overwrite again). If you have a BOLD .ttf file, proceed to Step 4A. If your font does NOT contain a BOLD .ttf file, proceed to Step 4B.)

4A) Ok, so you have a Bold file. Good! Rename the font file to DroidSans-Bold.ttf and overwrite the one that's already there.

4B) Ok, so you don't have a Bold file. :(

You can either:

Leave DroidSans-Bold.ttf the way it is. If you do this, your font will use the default bold writing for bold text.

OR

Overwrite DroidSans-Bold.ttf with another copy of your regular .ttf file. If you do this, bold text will be indistinguishable from regular text. It's up to you whether or not you care.

6) Either connect your phone into your computer or use ADB Wireless (I did the latter) to connect to it.

7) Push the folder with your fonts on it onto the SD card.

adb push mynewfont /sdcard/mynewfont

8) Mount your /system/fonts folder.

adb shell

In shell, type:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

9) Copy your fonts over! :)

cp /sdcard/mynewfont/* /system/fonts/

10) Reboot your phone!

adb reboot

11) You're done! :D
[G Tablet General] bigjsturm:
OK, so I got my first tablet today....the Viewsonic G10. Here I sit with a main screen I don't like. I don't see the Market anywhere....and being a Nexus One owner....I have certain expectations as to what Android can do for me.

So....Guess I need to root? Or do I? I see discussion of Clockwork. Is that another ROM?

What's my first step?
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
welcome! To keep it simple, yes you want to root / no clockwork is not a	ROM :)

Rooting will give you more flexibility with your tab. basically it gives you ' administrative' access to everything. Of course that means we can mess more things up.

Enter clockwork. Consider this a recovery and upgrade tool. Its a tool that first and foremost allows complete backups, an image of the current state. it also allows an easy way to install ROMs with very little effort.

Personally, even for those who choose not to stray too far from stock, a good backup is valuable.

HOWEVER, modding is addicting and with clockwork it becomes so easy to do, you can try out all 3 roms in a matter of an hour to see which one you prefer.

And if you haven't done this to your N1, you soon will :)

I can't seem to find any detailed information on Clockwork Mod. If I install this, will it wipe current data, ie put the pad back to factory settings?

I'd like to do a full backup in case it does this. I've done a Titanium Backup, is this enough to get it back to the current state if it does wipe everything?
