[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Neo_3:
Hi, first: big thanks for the tut!

I have a question: I made the xml file from my Windows mobile phone and imported in the Android. But... The format is bad, because it handles the 2 sms-es separately: I can see my sent sms to that person separately which I got from that person.

Like:

1, "Hello, how are you?"

3, "Good to hear, me too."

and the other:

2, "Hi, thanks ok. And you"

4, "Nice to hear"

I read somewhere that I should modify tha XML file, but I couldn't managed to. The editor said it cannot find that line. What should i do is to:

"Original line in xml-file:

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

Edited line that is needed in Android, so the senders name and numbers are displayed correctly:

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

But that simply doesnt word. Can you please tell me a program, where do you edit the files? Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] p107r0:
If you are using SMS Backup & Restore, then try approaching the problem from the other end: export SMSes, and check in the exported file how names and numbers are treated in the threaded conversation. Had the same problem, alas don't remember specifics, maybe it was removing all names from your xml, leaving only phone numbers, or keeping names only on one side of the conversation?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Neo_3:
Thanks! In time I solved the problem, I tell you how, maybe somebody will get use of it sometime :)

So, I opened the exported .xml file in MS Excel. Then I saw, that the names are in strange format: "<Name Number>" format with the " symbols. So, I deleted everything from this cell, except the number. It looks like: +36........ now, without the " and <> symbols. And saved the file to a new .xml file. I imported it in my Android and it works fine - as I have those numbers in my contact list the phone realized them and I can see names instead of numbers in the SMS app.

Hope, this helps to others, who are in the same shoe as I was :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cwnimitz:
Did you delete everything "manually" ?

I have 10.000 sms, it is a little big work.

How did you do?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] p107r0:
actually, Excel is quite flexible when it comes to operating on text strings, for one there's quite a few string functions, secondly, you can replace using primitive wildcards (eg. remove name from string "<aaaa +12345>" using "<*+" etc.), so as long as you can identify any regularities in you SMS, it seems time-consumin and risky but doable,

unless there is already some ready-made app for transfer...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rwxer:
Try http://www.bloove.com : 1) you can delete all items in several clicks via web interface; 2) you can transfer contacts and sms from WinMo to Android and back via interface (paid plan required)

hi man this support and MMS ?
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
Is there a way to set the incoming call screen to orientate to the portrait display?

I have set the LCD density to 240 from 160, which I find gives a great experence on the STREAK. The text is big enough to fill the full sized screen. But the only challenge is with a ringing in-coming call. The name is cut off on the bottom, so I can't see who is calling before I pick-up.

Once I answer, I can rotate the phone into portrait and I can see all the info just fine. But a ringing call won't change orientation.

Any thoughts?
[Streak 5 General] kiwi45:
What I found is that the incoming call screen's rotation follows the lock screen. If you disable the lock screen using "No Lock" the incoming call screen is always in portrait. There doesn't seems to be any way to overcome this, i.e. force the lock screen to be always in portrait. The highest you can go with the lcd density is 180 if you still want to see the caller's name/number.
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
For the record: I found an app that seems to work. Incoming Call Plus (beta) changes the orientation to portrait by default. And it has options to reject incoming calls by text message, which is a handy feature.
[Streak 5 General] RenkliArif:
I use incoming call plus too, but its annoying that you don't have the slide effect anymore. Hanging up by accident happens occasionally :(
[Streak 5 General] wyx:
Where can I set it up?
[Streak 5 General] brianlp:
Settings, Location & Security Settings, Set up Screen Lock.
[Streak 5 General] tonime:
Solution to all the problems with lcd density, we install Dj Steve's rom to ourselves 1.7.0 it works quite of marvel.

I have 240 not fc and one sees of marvel.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Have a replacement coming tomorrow, had a problem with it not taking a charge. I have several apps (some paid, some not), rooted (z4) and have LauncherPro (pretty sure email still has my license #?).

I rooted for wifi tethering but never deodexed or ran any custom roms so have never had a need to back up. What is the best way to back up everything the way I have it now (settings, apps, contacts, etc) so when I get my replacement I can root (z4 again I would assume) and reload my backup without having to manually chase it all down again?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid X General] gskellig:
Titanium backup seems to be the favorite, but it's annoying to use for me and not very intuitive.

I prefer My Backup Pro. You can backup to sdcard OR online. You can backup just the data or the app and the data, etc. Lots of features, and easy to use.
[Droid X General] z06mike:
I prefer and use Titanium. I think it is really easy to use and does a great job. Worth the 5 or 6 bucks that it costs.
[Droid X General] pCarson92:
I use Titanium Backup PRO. It gets the job done.
[Droid X General] ksmitchell:
I like titanium backup pro, works pretty well so far.
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
I also use Titanium Backup Pro. If you don't plan to run a different ROM, you will be able to restore everything with almost no pain.

[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
Another vote for Titanium Backup Pro here. What's really nice about it is that it can "freeze" apps in addition to uninstalling them. So I froze all the bloatware apps so they don't run, but they're still on my phone. When Verizon releases an OS update, I unfreeze the apps before doing the OTA update so it's as close to stock as possible. After the OTA, I re-freeze them. Makes for a trouble-free update.

Another feature is that it integrates with Dropbox to back up your phone to the cloud, making it easier to restore to a different phone.
[Droid X General] mncessna:
a vote for Droid X Bootstrapper Recovery

i've experienced a problem with the phone dialer and needed to do a number of backup/restore functions. The bootstrapper mentioned not only does a thorough job, but it has an advanced feature that lets you backup/restore separate portions of the phone.

hold on a sec, i'll boot it up and give you the list.

the main screen has a number of options:

- reboot system now

- apply sdcard:update.zip

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- install zip from sdcard

- backup and restore

- mounts and storage

- advanced

the vol up/down keys are used to highlight an option, and the camera button is used to select it. when you choose backup and restore, you get 3 options:

- backup

- restore

- advanced restore

if you chose advanced restore, you are presented with a dated list of all the backups you've done with the utility. pick one, press the camera button and you get 5 options:

- Restore boot

- Restore system

- Restore data

- Restore cache

- Restore sd-ext.

I have done the restore system several times now experimenting to find a solution to a phone dialer problem. i was bouncing between 2.3.151 and 2.3.340. all my installed applications and data stayed exactly the same each time.

i really like it.

"i'm just saying..."

[Droid X General] DNak206:
Thanks everyone. With Titanium can I essentially back up my old device exactly the way it is to my SD card. Activate the new device, install Titanium, and restore that identical copy from the same card? That seems almost too easy but if it takes into consideration licenses already paid for and such, that is basically what I'm looking for.
[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
I never had a need to replace my Droid, so I personally haven't tried it, but that's what they claim. Some apps may no longer work if it inspects the phone ID for licensing purposes. Tasker is one of them. You'll need to contact the app developer for these cases.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Thanks, will give it a whirl then. I have paid for Tasker and Launcher Pro Plus along with a few others, those are my primary concerns. The settings and adding my contacts and emails and such would take a few minutes, but not a big deal.
[Droid X General] zwade01:
I just made a backup in cw then restored it on my new dx and had 0 problems. It was like I didn't even switch phones (minus the defect on the old one). It was almost TOO easy lol.

[Nook Color General] droidly:
Hi,

I got my nook rooted. Thanks to everyone that created the tools. after I got youtube,gmail and market working, my youtube no longer works.

So I was going to install the new youtube from market. I went to market and searched for youtube, it comes back and says 580 results for "youtube". but it only shows 10 and i don't see any way to go to a next page and the official google youtube app is not in the first 10.

How can I page through the market's apps? and once i get that figured out, is it ok to uninstall the youtube app and install the new one from market, or will that mess up my nook?

this is my first experience with android, and i must say it's amazing how much stuff is out there for it!
[Nook Color General] camwinnn:
To fix youtube download titanium backup from the market, open it up, click the youtube app, clear data.

Fix market turn it landscape :P NC is using the Droidx ID to fool market so only shows ten since thats what a droid would show, but having a bigger screen it stops without loading the rest.

I want to give another 100 Euros for a new desire hd and I'am in doubt is somebody who has both devices and say that is a huge difference betwen thouse two?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] meptik:
I don't have both devices, so I don't know how different a real Desire HD will be from a HD2 running a Desire HD build.

However, €100 for a Desire HD sounds like a bargain. I'd certainly go for it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spastik:
I think he was talking about giving his HD2 plus 100 euros for a Desire HD which is a bit different than buying a Desire HD for 100euros :P

/ontopic - I would!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] meptik:
Heh, that would make a bit more sense. :D

Hmm... I'm not sure I would, if that's the case. Even though I hardly ever use Windows Mobile nowadays, I like the fact you can run multiple OS's on the HD2. The Desire HD is a wonderful phone, I'm sure, but for me it's not enough of an upgrade to consider moving from my HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] edangel:
Hd2 vs desire hd

well...

HD2 vs DESIRE HD

hd2-can choose many builds..one day you can even run WP7..can use ram builds!

also desire hd builds is faster than desire hd phone!games also are playable as well as desire hd,browsing via internet has similar speed!tried it ... :D:D

Desire HD...only good for 720 p recording and downloading faster via market app..but now with ram version hd2 downloads faster! :p

my girlfriend has desire HD... overall HD2 is a bit faster!!

so i wouldnt trade it even for free :D:D:D:D

i like playing with my hd2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sp33dy_gtx:
Did you played with your gf phone? how is with new buttons, I heard the screen is same as hd2. And Be more clear her desire hd is a bit faster or hd2 I cant understand it perfectly?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sp33dy_gtx:
Ok , I°ll wait until 1 st , 2012
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I can think of much better ways to spend €100.

The only people I know who say a Desire HD is better than a HD2 running a Desire HD ROM are biased Desire HD owners. I know plently that have said it's the same (if not a little worse). Yeah, they like the fact that it's a truly native Android device, but it doesn't work any better or do anything better, and it doesn't have the capabilities offered by the HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
But in the same way, hd2 owners are going to be biased towards saying the hd2 is better. I'm sure once you root and tweak a desire HD like the hd2 is, the desire HD will run better than a hd2. An original desire runs better than a hd2 once it's rooted and tweaked right. Personally, I still wouldn't trade my hd2 for any of them, though, because I still like being able to boot into winmo and easily switch builds, and android runs good enough for me on the hd2. You won't find a better multi-os booting phone. But if you are only going to use android, a native phone can be made to run android better than a hd2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I don't think you read my post correctly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mech5243:
I have both of them, hd2 is the same as desire hd when i use Mdj froyo sense MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.4 and even faster when i use ram vertions of android.

Although i tried and the desire hd vertion in my hd2 and i must to admit that is significatly slower than Desire Hd in this occation. But if i had to chose i would chose the hd2 because it is customisable
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Is your desire HD rooted and modified like the hd2 builds are? Or is it still stock? It's not really a fair comparison unless its rooted and modded.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yanardag:
No because hd2 have hw buttons.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyfoo:
Ok so im tryin to root my htc evo. Ive watched sooo many videos and read so many forums about how to do it. And i cant figure it out... Ive tried with a mac with unrevoked. It says I dont have to download anything to the phone,and when it runs it goes good till it reboots, and on the unrevoked screen it says waiting for root.. Phone restarts like normal.. Ive tried with windows, downloaded hboot. But im not sure I know how to install the boot drivers to my phone... But they say its updated. I run unrevoked and it ends up on the same screen. Waiting for root. Then ive read u need to replace a file on your phone but other people have said it will brick ur phone.. Im totaly lost. I need help tryin to figure this out.. Also had a question. Could it be because of the update sprint put out with all that extra bs like blockbuster and kindel and that stupid game nova on the update the reason why i cant root my phone?? Pls if some one can help me like step by step or the best way to go about it... I am a newbi... Help pls
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
theres a very good well written thread in the dev section that covers every software version and how to root.

to root in windows with unrevoked (i think there is a new version) you will need to install the updated hboot drivers in windows, linux requires no extra drivers to install
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werxen:
Umm have you checked to see if you have a modified recovery? If you ran unrevoked you are probably rooted you just don't realize it. Root is just a certain access to the phone - nothing visual. Hold down the volume down key when you are booting and do you get into a greenish recovery menu? If so - you are rooted and can install custom roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghodzilla5150:
Just look thru your Apps and if you see an App called SuperUser, you are rooted (this is if you used Unrevoked 3)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
i think you might have the upgraded hboot, which unrevoked doesnt work on. i am in the process of writing a mac tutorial. pm me or email me and i will try to help you...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillysphinest1:
Dude you answered your own question. I'ma super noob and i know that if you accepted that OTA (over the air) 3.70 update that installs all that extra nonsense you cant root by unrevoked right now. You can do it using adb shell but i wouldnt recommend it. Its a lil confusing.

Check your phone. Hit menu>settings>about phone and look at your software number. If it says 3.70 your currently out of luck...

BTW find out which hboot you have too. Power off then Hold the power and volume down button til a white screen appears. The second line should say Hboot 0.97.00 or 2.02 or 2.10.

A 2 anything means you have to wait.

Simple...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
doesnt mean you have to wait. just takes a bit more work to root.

I want to make a .mp4 streamable, I have tried every program that is out on the internet. Also I know by a guy I asked, that you must have at least 2 programs to make it streamable, and that the second program is not know by many peoples.

So does anybody know anything? I will be VERY grateful. Also I would buy you a beer or two ;)

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] rfryar:
Do you have MP4Box? If so you can easily add the -isma and -inter 500 settings to add streaming optimizations to the movie. The other key is that you have a web server that supports byte level gets such as apache.

If you can provide more details about the MP4, what codecs it uses, bitrates, etc.

Good luck,

Rick
[Android Software Development] KarlssoN1337:
Strange, I did as you said and uploaded to my server (it runs Lite Speed, its like apache) In the emulator the video plays, but after a while i get an error: "Sorry, this video cannot be played" BUT THE VIDEO KEEPS PLAYING! lol?

Or is that just a emulator problem? I don't have a "crappy" android phone near me so I can test it. My phone has a streaming player built in that streams almost everything. So my phone didn't have any problem streaming it.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] synaesthetic:
So I'm really wanting to upgrade my phone to Android 2.2, and Nero is a pretty awesome ROM.

But I hate the Gingerbread green (though I do like the black/translucent menus).

What I'm wanting to do is bring the minimalist flat black with blue accents look from Bionix Final R1 into Nero, but I have absolutely no idea where to start!

Basically this is what I'd like to change:

-remove the green Gingerbread color on the status bar icons and in other places, and replace it with the pale blue from stock/Bionix

-bring back the white signal, wifi, BT and G/E/3G icons from Bionix (the status bar icons that look like stock but minimalistic and slimmed down)

-use the minimalistic Bionix status bar icons (gmail, sdcard notifications, etc)

-put the thin gray line back at the bottom of the status bar (I really miss this, it made the home screen look much nicer with non-black wallpapers)

-change the pulldown notification menu to be solid black like it is in Bionix/Obsidian

-change the Gingerbread soft keyboard accents from green to pale blue to match the theme

-change the boot and shutdown animation and sounds to the i9000 ones

-include the UOT Kitchen modded blue segmented battery mod

Any ideas on how to do this and put it in a CWR flashable .zip would be really appreciated!
