[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] karendar:
Hey guys,

Just thought I'd share this with you. This is a fairly new GAPPS I pulled from a Cyanogen forum post for you guys that still don't have the new market app. It's a Clockwork zip, so it installs through CWM. Tested and works perfectly on a fresh install of MDJ Gingerbread 2.0 and 2.1. I got it from a CM6 thread, so it seems to be compatible with it also.

Edit - New link is Gingerbread official GAPPS, must be flashed with Clockwork v1.1!

Enjoy!

-- LINKS TAKEN DOWN -- People are having issues and causing more damage to their ROMs than supposed to. Will fix and get back to everyone. Sorry!

WARNING: MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR IMAGE AND APPLICATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING! I did it on a CLEAN ROM and cannot promise that it will work for everyone on a pre-installed ROM.

Just don't switch the important nandroid backups from different EVOs, ie replacement EVO

I'm guessing you took a big chunk of nandroid backup and removed it from your old phone to your new replacement phone, Am I right?

If your rooted with S-OFF, try to go into USB-MS toggle that, put up Myn's new rom RLS5 or something, and it should work nicely if you have the right time to do it.

Hey everyone,

just updated to Google Goggles v1.3 and when it scans it pops a connection error (checked both on 3G/WiFi). Worked fine before.

Tried all the usual cache clearing/app reinstalling/etc.

Anyone else has the same issue or idea how to fix that?

P.S. Sorry if this was supposed to be in Apps/Themes, wasn't sure. ;)

HI Guys, Just received my HTC Desire HD today now in my hands and very happy its really very nice mobile.

Just a quick question I put mobile charging cable with my laptop its showing the battery is charging but I don't think it is. Should I plug it in power or it will be charges on USB cable with my laptop?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
It should charge through USB provided your ports can provide power to your devices. It will take 2 times longer to fully charge though as USB can only provide 500 mA while the retail charger 1 A. If you're using your phone while charging via USB, you may even see your battery discharging because USB power is not enough.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthieu.walter.ph:
its charging

Yes mate its charging at the last step as per battery showing. This forum is really very helpful I am new to HTC if found any problem will post here.

Cheers.

I've tried searching, but to no avail - I have installed the Gingerbread keyboard, and I cannot access the keyboard settings. I have tried Settings -> Keyboard as well as press and hold on the symbol key (this works with the Droid X keyboard just fine.) Am I missing something?

Thanks!

-- Never mind. If you just "press" on the gear key on the keyboard, the settings dialog is available.

Awesome link!!!! Thanks! Much better battery life now!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverslotcar:
Wow this is great! My DL and UL speeds with 3G are almost the exact same or close to the speeds of HSPA, with less battery drain!! Awesome. 3G is just strong in my area, waaaaaay better signal. Thanks again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enhanced:
Looking at how my phone changes from "H" to "3G", it seems to do it intelligently. When nothing that requires data is done on the phone, such as scrolling through homescreens or being in your app drawer, 3G is used. When data is needed, such as loading web pages or downloading "H" is used. With this auto switching, it seems like the phone does try to optimize battery life between HSPA and 3G so I don't think this fix is really that necessary.

The only thing I noticed is that is when using gTalk, it switches between HSPA and 3G depending on if a message is being sent or if the phone is stationary. If I send a message, "H" comes on and when I don't, it's "3G". If changing between HSPA and 3G does drain battery, then this could be a source of battery drain if you send small messages quickly (how one would chat) back and forth.

Can anyone chime if it consumes battery when it changes between 3G and H?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverslotcar:
It doesn't consume more when switching, but HSPA consumes a lot more than 3G. I was previously running HSPA all the time and now just 3G. I did this trick yesterday and I am seeing very good results already.

[Vega Themes and Apps] orlok:
Hello,

Again, here's a list of apps I could not be without, or run, on a day to day basis.

Mostly originally gleaned fro Modaco, but again these are ones I personally use not just a ripped list.

Pauls (Modaco) Custom Rom with small taskbar (makes the Vega truly Useful and priceworthy)

VISIONary+ (to fully root the Vega ( I though it already was rooted, but to get some proggies working V+ helped me out) For me a "fire and forget" program.

Button Savior - Couldn't imagine using the Vega without this. Creates on screen buttons such as home/back/settings etc etc. really useful on a Vega. Not as customisable as Id like, but still amazing.

AndroZip - for those pesky rar files

Cache Cleaner - frees up some room

Beautiful Widgets - some pretty widegets to liven your experience

Launcher Pro Plus - A nice cheap UI (apparently ADW is groovy, but I cant comment on that)

Lookout Anti Virus - hmmm a difficult one this, I use it to no ill effect, but is it really needed at this time? Anyhoo, Works Ok for me.

Titanium Backup - Backup your apps and settings.

Dropbox - Share files over a "cloud"

Dolphin Browser HD - not perfect but a good browser to use instead of stock.

Thats if for now, feel free to tell me im wrong or if you prefer alternatives.

I love 'newsrob' for reading my Google Reader feed, also loving 'fish bowl photoviewer beta' for a nice way of viewing images. It has a great deal of promise and is beautiful!
[Vega Themes and Apps] terminaljunkie:
Pulse for RSS, a lovely app.
[Vega Themes and Apps] damuffinman:
Thumb Keyboard for the less stingy users, it really is a brilliant keyboard and only costs ~£0.83

HandMemoWriter for handwritten notes
[Vega Themes and Apps] orlok:
Hello all

Pulse is indeed a great fullscreen app, but I often find the widget doesnt update/work and also is an odd size (3 rather than 4 "blocks" and wont resize well in launcher pro plus.

But, as a full screen app is quite nifty, if a little sensitive, but thats a vega issue rather than Pulses fault.

Ive not heard of 'fish bowl photoviewer beta' but when less drunk, will look it up!

Also, what does Thumb Keyboard do differently? Im a thumb typer on me vega with stock keyboard, as that seems best way to compose. Tell me more.

[Vega Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Swiftkey - great keyboard and not too expensive, works well on the vega

Miren Browser - Free browser,fantastic UI
[Vega Themes and Apps] O_G:
Comic reader mobi - works great, but not free.

Folder organizer - i think is a must to organize apps into folders, again not free.

IMDB - Great for quick movie reference.

Power Amp - Better than the stock music player, but not free.

Skype - works great, just no video calling:(

WiFi Buddy - To enable the extra wifi channels as well as other tweaks.

Wiimote controller - use wii controller for games.
[Vega Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Can anyone post any screenshots of that "button saviour" app working on a vega?
[Vega Themes and Apps] maxip:
Can't post any screenies at the minute but what it does is super-impose a 'menu' button on the edge of the screen and this is visible in all applications - you choose which edge and where abouts to appear. When you press on this, you get your Savoiur menu that gives close, back, menu, etc buttons.

This is an invaluable app as if you have an app that hangs, you can simply use button saviour, go home & kill the running apps. I also use it to bring up menu options in apps / games that don't have a programmed button as they are expecting the user to have / use a physical keyboard button.
[Vega Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
thanks might check it out when I get home then
[Vega Themes and Apps] HunteronX:
For me it's:

-ADW Launcher EX, as it's very customisable, with smooth 3d transitions (paid)

-Quick settings

-Dolphin browser mini - is fast at loading webpages, even with flash, and has many settings and options available

-Root explorer (Needs root) (paid)

-Spare parts

-Fish bowl photo viewer beta

-Adfree - blocks all ads in browsing and applications. (Needs root)

And many more! :)
[Vega Themes and Apps] bakedecake:
I find adw launcher works really well, tried go but it doesn't seem suited to tablets.

smart keyboard pro works much better than the stock keyboard.

button Savior is great, really useful.

love the fish bowl photo viewer.

I use Miren browser, it's not perfect on the tablet yet but I've set the user agent to chrome and it works well.

swarm torrent

the 3rd one i tried, got 500kbps on the same torrent file...works well and will keep it (unless anybody else can suggest another...hate just installing stuff without some kind of review)

astro

its a must i think. put shortcuts to downloads, torrent downloads and my data all on a desktop panel...works really well

snesoid, nesoid

works great, still to try with the wiimote

launcher pro

i use this on my hd2 so quite familiar with it. sluggish when first starting, but after 15 seconds or so its fine.

ive not tried mini gore on the vega yet, but im addicted to it on my hd2

if its works let me know so I can send it to my friend
[Vega Themes and Apps] aditya104:
Try this edited version of Miren Browser and set useragent to iPad for better viewing on tablet :cool:
[Vega Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
After reading it on here I have to say I was sceptical about the use of "button saviour" but I tried it on the recommendations anyway.

Its a great app, very well thought through and designed, I may have to purchase the pro to remove the bits I don't need to use but its a clever idea.

Everyone should check it out
[Vega Themes and Apps] remlap:
Been using Button Savior for awhile now yes and paid the 80 odd pence to remove the buttons I don't need. The author of the application is looking to add a button to bring up the software keyboard for sites like Google Docs.

Cheers
[Vega Themes and Apps] fracmo2000:
works really well, but when i turn landscape it get in the way of launcher pros dock.

Just installed the Button Savior as well, and I love it. Especially the Recent Apps menu, that's one I've really missed on the Advent Vega.

Other apps I use:

- iSyncr to synchronise iTunes playlists with my tablet

- Swiftkey keyboard, prefer it above the regular keyboard.

- QuickOffice (paid), to create Word/Excel/etc documents and sync them with my google docs account

Dungeon defenders

Pocket Legends

Radiant HD

Buka HD

Super Tumble

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byransays:
so last night my girlfriend got this stereo last night and i ended up plugging my phone into the aux port, well it instantly shut my phone off and it would not turn on. Her, without knowing what happened ended up plugging in her zune, and that instantly shut off. Nothing we did worked, plugging them in usb and wall chargers, nothing happened and they didnt turn on.

This morning, by chance, i tried to turn it on and it turned on but was really low on battery so i charged it, and now heres were the dilemma is, the phone is extremely hot in the back(near the camera where the galaxy s logo is) even when its unplugged and nothing running and the screen orientation does not change when i open the phone, the keyboard works fine, but it doesnt seem like it knows the phone is open, no lights, no orientation change, etc.

we contacted the manufacture, GPX and they told us to call back in 3 days after they have tested and other things(my girlfriend called them, im not sure exactly what they said)

my question is, any insight on why its running so hot? and if they dont offer to replace my phone how should i go about this with sprint? i have the 7 dollar a month warranty plan

thanks ahead,

Bryan.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMMusic:
It doesn't sound good. Electronics do not take kindly to random volts flying around, and it sounds like you gave your phone a good dose. You probably semi-melted something, which is now causing the heating up due to a short or extra resistance (or quite possibly both).

As long as you don't tell Sprint your story, you'll probably get a refurb no charge. If you tell them you caused it (which is what they would hear), you'll probably have to pay the deductible. Sometimes it pays to play dumb.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byransays:
oh, so they dont charge you if it "messes up" on its own? you just pay the $50 if it was your fault?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heathmcabee:
More like 100 if its your fault, and nothing if its a manuf defect. Playing dumb when you know something wasn't right, is sometimes a good thing. This is why we pay the extra money for insurance a month.

well, it was pretty lame. The phone wasnt charging for me so and i couldnt get a proper odin flash so it showed the phone exclamation triangle computer logo but since it wasnt charging and wouldnt boot because of the dead battery i thought id take it in and be like "oh its not charging" but as soon as he plugs it in, it starts

(mind you i realized its charging very slowly and overheating so it pauses the charging)

but he realized i had it rooted and told me to say it was lost or stolen

so now i have a new epic! (that cost $100)

so if anyone wants a semi fully functional epic i have one for sale

i flashed a brand new stock 2.2 rom on it, but i dont think it can ever be used as a phone since its reported stolen

but everything works other than the fact it overheats and doesn't register when you slide the keyboard out (doesn't change orientation but the keyboard still works)

Here's a dumb question... I thought a kernel is incorporated with a certain rom. But when i read thru the dev thread, it sounds like there are different version of kernels and we can install different Kernels to different roms??? What exactly do the Kernels do? What would make the differences? Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Kernels control the resources and filing system of the phone. Different kernels have different lag fixes, some over clock the processor. Some kernels re-orientate roms so i9000 roms work on the captivate.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lglossman:
Hi everybody, well, as many of you may know, here in Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile) we have a specific Galaxy S model, the i9000B. Not too many changes from the T model, and Samsung just published the kernel diffs from the standard i9000 kernel source. Our problem is that we have no official ROM other than the old, slow and boring 2.1 Eclair. Well... there`s a leaked 2.2 ROM but what everybody here wants is to take advantage of all the great mods floating around but of course those can not be flashed in our B devices.

The question I would like to make is "WHY???". Of course the Kernel shipped on those ROMS might not be compatible, but as I said before we have access B sources so we could provide our own compiled kernels and mix them with the internation ROM which are of course binary compatible since the underlying harware is almost the same... but I guess that would not probe to be sufficient! What parts of the android platform could be device specific aside from kernel??? I heard something about the modem thing being specific to the geographic area...

Thnx in adv!

It is easy, grab some Manila kitchen, dump it and you'll see, there are mainly four types:

- Mode9 - contain animations, scenes, design and so on

- Lua - scripts, adding action, releasing animations, ....

- XML - 99% of those are simply languages

- QTC - images, encoded to ATI Imageon native image format, they are passed directly to GPU (while PNG would have to be converted and thus it would be slower)

Also some other manila kitchens allow you to simply decode the 123asd456_manila filename into original filename, because these 123asd456 is hashed original path. And with enough searching and digging it can be found back in the Lua and Mode 9 files :).
