Well.. CES was interesting Android wise speaking. Tablets will become the mainstream in a few months for day-to-day computing and smartphones will be our new consoles... gaming wise.

The XOOM tablet looks very good. Specs are huge.. it's a monster.. The only problem I see... TMO only. The other aspect that worries me is the screen. I hope the XOOM being a Google User Experience Device.. will have a really good screen refresh... I would not like to see a Galaxy Tab screen Fiasco again.

The Atrix 4G...beast phone, very attractive, looking very good. There is another Atrix.. worldwide version, 3G QuadBand... I currently live in Costa Rica, N1 ATT owner (Bands are the same)... I guess that Atrix WW will work perfectly here. Problem I see... Motorola's position against ROM Customization.. if Motorola keeps an attitude against this... this will become a deal breaker for me... I love Unlocked Boot and Root...

Now let's see what will show up on MWC... I guess we'll see some surprises from Samsung with Hummingbird CPU's and the Tegra 2 Platform.

How can I change the notification bar and icons on my ZTE Blade?

Thanks
[Blade General] AndyHibberd:
You have to re-theme the entire ROM.

Depending on which ROM you are running you need to download the relevant theme.

Head over to Modaco and have a search there.
[Blade General] L0cke:
If you mean the icons on the notification bar, and the notification bar itself then you'll find them all in the 'framework-res.apk'. Just pull this from the ROM or your phone (via adb) and replace the .png's with others. Push back and away you go.
[Blade General] phlum:
There's something cool here, as well, in case you don't want to get your hands dirty with the framework-res APK: circle.glx.nl

You select a load of options and stuff (there's even a cool battery thing) and it spits out a zip file which you flash in your Recovery.
[Blade General] cliq:
Will have to check this out... thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DS1495:
hey,

so I'm having some issues with facebook for android (and Facebook for Samsung) everytime I try to open the application or sync my contacts with facebook it force closes, thus resulting in the app being useless. :(

I am running Instant v0.3.2 currently, but had the same issue on Darky's Gingerbread v8.0

& yes, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling countless times, to no avail.

any ideas as to what may be causing this problem?

thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DS1495:
just a little bump to see if I can get any help! haha :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] poundesville:
Hi,

Did you try either "wipe" version of Darky's v8.0 or did a factory reset before installing Darky's v8.0

Worth a try..

Anyway, i have another problem - no push facebook notification received on my phone anymore now. I'm not sure what happen (i'm on Darky's v8.0 as well with speedmod kernel K12L (500 Mhz).
[General Topics] :
I go back to school in Feb. so I need a tablet by then. Should I buy a viewsonic g tablet or wait until may or march for honeycomb tabs?

Does anyone know if the g tab is honeycomb upgradeable, I know it it has a tegra 2 and a9 but I think the res is too low for honeycomb?

Thanks in advance!!

Found a similar thread...close this down, thanks
[Desire General] Kermode:
As I understand it the HD has Sense 2, so even if one wanted to, one can not just copy them across.

But does anybody know if HTC will make a similar media player for the normal Desire? Or perhaps make Sense 2 for the HTC Desire?
[Captivate General] steelechamp:
So theres that app called Webtop or something along those lines on the brand new Moto Atrix. Do you think itll be possible to get it up and running on other phones?
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
That is an impossible question to answer as it is not even available. I say no because it is probably solely linked for Moto. But I have no proof or experience with this so who really knows. Ask after the phone comes out.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Yeah probably part of moto blur

From a phone
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
Trying to snag some new apps & update others & I am not sure if it is working. Avery app shows "starting download" with no progress showing. One that I was updating said "authorizing payment" forever. It looks like it may have worked, but it was only an update, so can't be sure. Hasn't shown up in the notification bar. I was having a problem with my wireless router & reset it & seem to be able to get on line OK, but he market has me wondering if I still have a problem.

Cheers,

[Nook Color General] jewnersey:
Try signing in and out of Google talk.. no joke

//from the nook COLOR
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
I am pretty sure I accidentally deleted Google Talk. That must be the problem. How can I get it back. Is it an apk? Where can I find it?

Thanks,

kev
[Nook Color General] jewnersey:
Yes an apk. Would be in system/apps/

Not sure where to find them for download though

//from the nook COLOR
[Nook Color General] methfan:
i'm having the same problem...

i started Google Talk, it logged me in, then I signed out ( Menu -> More -> Sign out )... (although it still seems to be running in the background )

but my downloads are still doing the same thing.

next i opened google talk again, then signed out... since its still running in the background, i used Advanced Task Killer to Kill Google Talk.

then went back into the Market, but no luck, its still stuck on Starting download... :confused:
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
Since I had deleted Google Talk, I just went & re-Auto-nootered. It seemed to work, as I can use Market again & nothing that I can see has been compromised. I am, by no means, an authority on this. Just relating my experience. YMMV! BTW post re-auto-nooter boot, I didn't see any Google sign in screen or anything different from a normal boot & market works fine.

Cheers,

kev
[Nook Color General] methfan:
thanks. i re-auto-nootered too. it worked!
[Streak 5 General] BetaFoil:
Hi, I am attempting to downgrade my streak from DJ_Steves 1.5.2 to the original Rogers 1.6 build 7921. I was wondering how the best way to go about this is. Do I simply find a nandroid backup and run restore or do I have to go back to O2 1.6 and then use a backup to get to the rogers 1.6? Or am I going about this entirely wrong. Also If you do have the original build of 1.6 could you please post it. Thanks for all the help everyone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ruscik:
I have found entries relating to device volume in registry.

MinIncallvolume

MaxdbAtten - this one seems to be dB limt afte which device reacts and tries to not exceed it. That is in line with EU specification on noise polution and what my device does. I have noticed that all my songs play with the same volume so there needs to be a limiter.

MaxInCallUIVolume - I assume this one goes to Incallvolume as it is set to only 10 while next one is set to 30.

MaxSystemUIVolume

My question how do I edit those ranges with HTC Registry editor, it asks me for I think Hex line to locate the specific registry entry or is there another way?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] (nico):
Could you give us the full path of the registry entries?

I'll see if we have writing permissions on those part of the registry.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] owenw:
The HTC "Registry Editor" is not actually a registry editor it is a "Register Editor". They are not the same thing.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ruscik:
HKCU/Control Panel/Volume

Elaborate what is the differeance?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
the register has to do with onboard memory locations.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ruscik:
Thank you removed that ;)
[Fascinate General] joshnichols189:
Well, I was going to buy one of the new 4G phones because as it was rumored the Thunderbolt was supposed to be available this weekend.. but it is not to be I suppose :( SOOO..

I'm looking to buy a Fascinate off contract in order to save my upgrade.

Just wondering if there is anything I should know? I have an Incredible and I know depending on your model number it's either AMOLED or SLCD. Now I know all Fascinates are SAMOLED, but I was just using that as an example of something I would need to know if I was buying an Incredible.. if that makes any sense at all.

Thanks for your time :)
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
As far as I know there are no differences in the fascinates out here beyond best buys unique white model.
[Fascinate General] BigBonkers:
Honestly wait for the iphone. Android is garbage in my opinion. I had the fascinate and well without the applications to spruce up a phone......well its just a phone. And i think we all want more!!!
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
And I guess the iPhone is so much more than a phone without applications to spruce it up :rolleyes: Once again, stop trolling here. You have 20 posts and none of them have something besides bashing the Fascinate or Android.
[Fascinate General] azreedtech:
Just another jealous Icrap fanboy who has nothing better to do than hang out in here...Get a life and a real PHONE!
[Fascinate General] azreedtech:
Hands down, better than the Incredible.
[Fascinate General] Dizfunky:
If you're going to end up upgrading to a 4G phone soon after you buy the Fascinate, then why get it at all? It's just a waste of money when you already have an Incredible. Just wait for a good phone to come out.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Yeah, if I hadn't just gotten the Fascinate I would probably prefer to wait for the i520. The new SAMOLED+ looks even more amazing than SAMOLED, and I'm probably one of the few who wishes the Fascinate had a bigger screen.
[Fascinate General] trillonometry:
I have a fascinate and an incredible right now. The fascinate is better hardware wise. The only thing keeping me on the incredible is cyanogen.

The fascinate is STILL stuck on 2.1 and while it performs well it still feels like it's missing something. I also miss the track ball and the camera of the incredible. And the name is much better IMO
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
Just wait for the new 4.3 inch beast phones coming out for Verizon right now.

Rockin' DJ05, Minimal Icognito, Clocked at 1.3Ghz
[Fascinate General] joshnichols189:
Well I can get a Fascinate for cheap without wasting my upgrade since a friend has it, and we need another phone in the family since my sister broke her original droid (it held up admirably for a good while).
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
None of the new phones introduced at CES will be released for several months...
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Last I heard, the HTC Thunderbolt, an LTE phone, was going to be released later this month. I could be wrong though.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Why do you even come to these forums?
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
At the press conference today they mentioned that all of the ten new devices they showed will be available the first half of the year, and "some as early as March"... So we are probably looking at April-May-June for most LTE devices
[Fascinate General] BigBonkers:
Guys no need to get angry. The guy asked for an opinion on the fascinate. And I think he needs one from someone who came from an Iphone on ATT to Samsung Fascinate on Verizon. What can he learn about a phone from ONLY people who are stuck with it........... Nothing. I think a negative review helps alot.

The fascinate has good hardware. But ive always said that android lacks in the applications department. Plain and simple.

Be smart the IPHONE is getting released on February 3rd. Wait try them both out....Then decide for yourself. Whats good for one person isnt good for another.

Another negative point SAMSUNG has the worst reputation with updating there android phones. Just a thought.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Your opinion does not make fact.

However, his question was not about which overall phone he should get. Just if there were anything specific to know about within the Fascinate family.

As for your opinion, its just that, you're personal opinion that only fits you. You were used to an iPhone and the apps you had. You got a completely different product that you are less happy with because you probably can't find the same apps or ones that worked comparably to what you had. Does that mean its automatically inferior, no, we as humans are just habitual and dislike change.

As for hardware, yeah, the iPhone's front camera and Apple's specific image software to tip the scales for the iPhone4 over the Fascinate. However, the EVO 4G easily bests the iPhone4.

If he were to wait on a different phone, he should do as others said and keep the Incredible and wait until later this year when a slew of LTE phones drop that ALL destroy iPhone4 and probably 5 as it will not be 4G.

As for iOS vs Android, meh, personal opinion. I like Android better as a techy guy and love the better inclusion of Google products. Again, we humans are habitual and my short stints with friends iPhones really don't do much.

For me, I'll stick with a far more open option that is rapidly surpassing anything iDevice has offered. Plus, I can create my own apps for free and without having to buy a Mac.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
It's not about anger or hostility.

If you don't like this phone, why don't you go bug those people on the iphone forums. It just makes very little sense for you to come here and talk trash.
[Fascinate General] BigBonkers:
Didnt mean to talk trash guys. Wasnt my intention.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jen139222:
I just got the gtablet for christmas and I just found this forum. I hope this wasnt asked before if it was please direct me. How do I change the wallpaper? I have it setup as classic home. Also while on classic home I only have the following icons weather, news, photos,music, videos, and clock how do I get all my icons there instead of touching the 3rd icon down in the lil tool box on the side? I also read on here about people loading different software on instead of the taptap thing it uses. What are the advantages of the different software? Sorry its long..Thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Maybe start here: http://gtabfans.com/

That will give you some basics about the different roms and other things.

Then read, and read, and read some more.

Most importantly is whatever you decide.. "Follow The Steps EXACTLY" Don't not do them because it just doesn't seem right. It is very easy to mod this tablet. It is also very easy to run into problems. None of the problems are real serious, and can be fixed but they will make you nuts trying to figure out what happened. So follow the directions....

The reason people put different roms on there tablet, or phone, or whatever is to gain features, to fix things that don't work right, and to gain performance. Out of the box the tablet is not bad nowadays in comparison to what was loaded on it when I first got mine.

If you are new to this, read, read, read....... And don't be afraid. It is hard to really break this thing...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jen139222:
im so lost lol i tried to install that clockwordmod thingy and i cant get it...so frustrating
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cadillax02:
I believe there are two different update.zip files for clockwork. One for internal sd and one for external. I used the external. Put it on micro sd, insert, power down, boot into recovery with power and volume +, and voila... There are several great tutorials on this site...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jen139222:
i finally got the clockwork thing to work now i have tnt on it...how do i change wallpapers? also how do i get a cool time widget on the screen like sum pics i saw around here? thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] S2W:
1st, Way to go with making the move to a custom rom.

Setting wallpaper

-All you need to do is press and hold on the home screen.

-You will see a pop up with options.

-Go to wallpaper.

-Select where you are getting the wallpaper from.

-Choose your wallpaper and you will have to crop it a bit and save...

You should now have your wallpaper set.

For Clocks you need to go to the market and choose your preference of clocks for example like typoclock and do sort of the same as above but this time with widgets.

Hope that helps.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jen139222:
how do i make custom wallpaper or install ones people made on here to download?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Prof-KOS:
If you download an image from the Gtablet or just transfer it to it, it should show up in your gallery. For me, I usually need to reboot for the Gallery to see new images. Once you get the wallpaper popup, one of the options is Gallery. Use that, find your image and select it.

Most of all spend some time screwing around with Android and learn the OS. Always remember the long press and the menu key. They are th skeleton keys to Android. If there's and option you're looking for, one of those two is usually how you'll find it.
[Fascinate General] mpetruzz:
So i have had a DX for a while and like the phone. I decided to root and install some custom roms. Now that I've begun modding I've realized that there are many more roms for the Dinc and Fascinate.

I have the possibility of swapping my DX for a Fascinate and I'm trying to gauge based on Rom's and customization options whether or not I should.

Just from looking around for a few minutes it seems as though there are tons more roms and themes for the fascinate.

For all you modders, do you think a modded fascinate is better than a modded dx? Why??
[Fascinate General] zachsx:
Do it. I did. And wont go back
[Fascinate General] mpetruzz:
Since you came from a DX like I would be, did you see any drop in signal strength or gps abilities? Those are the big things I keep reading that are worse on the SF.

In what ways do you think the fascinate is better.

Just trying to get as much info as I can before I make a decision, don't wanna regret it.
[Fascinate General] scriz:
The radio and GPS (software) on the Fascinate SUCK. I'm not knocking the Fascinate (I own one) but I came from a Epic 4g (Sprint) Where I had full bars practically everywhere I went, to having 1-2 bars everywhere I went. My Time Without a Signal went from 0-1% to a steady 33-35% when I switched to the Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] mpetruzz:
that's what I'm worried about for every thread I see about something cool, I see another one about how the call quality and gps functionality are poor.

Are either of those improved after installing custom kernels or roms?
[Fascinate General] Thacallmehess:
Yes. New kernels alone help with GPS ping, and I haven't had a problem with the voice quality at all.
[Fascinate General] Chuban7:
why would you go to the fascinate right after CES because there are 4 LTE phones coming are way that are probably way better than the fascinate
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Because he is trading not upgrading
[Fascinate General] beray5:
Out of the box, the Fascinate is inferior to DX in both call quality and GPS performance for me as well as battery longevity.

With custom kernals and roms, the Fascinate out performed the DX with mod or no mod.:)
[Fascinate General] theraptscallion:
Wife has the X, I have the fascinate. Since DJ05/DL09, we have nearly identical GPS functionality (time to lock, accuracy, etc.). Her X has better call quality, I think its due to an extra noise cancelling mic. She also gets slightly better reception, but I don't experience dropped calls or anything like that. If I have zero reception, she generally has zero reception. If I have barely 1 bar, she'll always have 2 or more.

Hers is unrooted, so I can't comment on ROMS, but I love what the devs have done for the fascinate, and it hasn't even made it to 2.2 yet, so I'm sure there's more to come. Strangely, the X seems to have better support for common games as well (my wordfeud lags compared to hers, few software companies are using the hardware of the Galaxy S line to its fullest extent) but the fascinate graphics chip produces some noticeable gains (angry birds is smoother on mine, ExZeus is smooth as butter, load times on gameloft 3d titles are faster and the games are smoother). My feeling is that the fascinate is much worse out of the box, but with a dedicated user, is probably the best verizon phone. I'm ignoring anything that's being released at CES as I type this...
[Fascinate General] mpetruzz:
Thanks for all the info. I definately plan on rooting the fascinate and from what I'm hearing a rooted fascinate will out perform a rooted x. I don't really use the gps too often, but the call quality was a concern. I didn't know whether or not kernels could improve on that.

How is the camera? I have a 5 year old and do use the camera often. The DX isn't as nice as my wife's Droid Incredible.
[Fascinate General] dakoop:
I had the fascinate and am glad I switched to the x.

I let my fingers do the talking
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
The LTE phones are at least 3-4 months from being released at best. I'd say you're probably looking at a June/July time frame before you start seeing LTE phones for sale.
[Fascinate General] beray5:
What rom are you using please? I have GummyJAR 2.5 and it still acted like a Fascinate without "lagfix".
[Fascinate General] Floormatt:
The difference between the cameras will not be notable until you blow the picture up beyond 5x7 range. A far as LTE goes...yeah it will be great...if you live in a major market, otherwise you're looking at 1-2 years from now before that fancy new phone operates at a LTE signal level. Signal-wise I came from blackberry, which is widely known for signal quality, and I don't drop calls anywhere I wouldn't drop them before.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
If you're switching phones because of the number of ROMs, you're going to be sorely disappointed. There are significantly more (and more importantly, way more mature, AOSP-derived) ROMs for the Droid X than there are for the Fascinate. You just need to look at places other than XDA, like droidforums.net. For whatever reason, relatively little development for the Motorola Droids tends to happen on this site.

Also, I'll just second the "terrible call quality" complaint on the Fascinate. It's extremely disappointing, as someone who came from a Droid 1. Huge, night and day noticeable difference. Fortunately, I don't use my phone to make very many actual phone calls anymore, so it's not as much of an issue as it could be. The signal strength issue, on the other hand...

And finally, the camera on the Fascinate is generally considered to be better than the Droid X's, despite the fact that it's 5 megapixels to the X's 8. The image quality (color saturation, etc.) really matters more than the pixel quantity, and that's where the Fascinate comes out on top. It's just like how the iPhone 4's 5-megapixel camera is undeniably better than just about any other phone right now, even those with 8 or 10 megapixels (ours isn't quite that good, but it's still better than most). The only downside for the Fascinate is that there's no hardware camera button, so it's a little tougher to take steady shots.

Bottom line for me is this: the Fascinate is a much better multimedia device (the screen looks infinitely better than the Droid's, for example, and it has a better GPU), but it's not nearly as good as an actual telephone. For me, multimedia is more important, and that's why I'm (most of the time) happy with the Fascinate. But that may not be the case for everyone.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
All the devices mentioned at CES won't be available until the second quarter, possibly March at the earliest
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
Very wrong my friend, they will be coming sooner than that....
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
The original reports were Q2 2011. April is ~3 months out, and that is the start of Q2, so unless they're pushing them out in Q1 and moving up their initial release schedule, it's going to be at least 3-4 months before they are out.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
And considering they said at the press conference today the devices they introduced would be available in the second quarter, "some in March", I think it is safe to say we are a few months away
