I find the weather widgets drain my battery like crazy - so I just search "weather *zip code*"

Is it possible to make a shortcut to this search, or to a bookmark of it in Dolphin Mini, on my ADW Launcher home screen?

Not sure about Dolphin but you can if you use the stock browser.

Hey i just got an Epic, rooted and I'm currently running the Truly Epic rom right now. But I was wondering if anyone know which rom or roms allow the user to sort the apps in alphabetical order and add more apps to the doc?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txtmikhail:
all roms place apps in alphabetical order...for the more apps to dock use launcher pro...download from market
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plmiller0905:
I already have launcherpro and know everything launcherpro can use. However, i wanted to just go with Touchwiz for awhile.

Now when i use Touchwiz and go to my Apps>Menu>Edit....nothing shows up that will allow me to place the apps in alphabetical order. And when I attempt to add an app to the dock, one of the previous apps goes back into the the list with all the rest of my apps. So I'm only allowed to place 3 apps + the apps icon at the current moment. But i know I saw a video on youtube that had these features...I think was the Frankenstein Rom but I'm not sure
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Not exactly. TouchWiz likes to do some funny categorizing which screws up the alphabetical listing. Using a different launcher like LauncherPro or ADW fixes this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Zeam has a similar look as touchwiz and allows you to add icons

Nebula Rom has a nice modified touchwiz that allows editing and sorting. 4 interchangable apps in the drawer, and home button in the middle of it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TWO515TY:
@OP

To sort your apps out in alphabetical order, open up your app list, press menu -> sort, then press menu again and there should be an option to sort a-z.

Better yet, go install GTG Touchwiz

I am having no luck in figuring out how to put a short cut to web page on my G-Tab home screen. The process is very simple on my Mytouch 4G. What am I missing?
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
Long press on any home screen until you get the popup with Shortcuts, Widgets, Folders, Wallpapers. Select Shortcuts and then Select Bookmark and select the webpage you want a shortcut to. Obviously you'll have to save the webpage as a Bookmark (Favourite) first to be able to do this.

Hope this helped.
[G Tablet General] ivanh3:
That is the problem. I don't get the option for bookmark.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I don't know if it's necessary or there's just an extra process to go through but I notice "bookmark" is missing from mine as well where on my MT4G it's there, but if you get Dolphin Browser it will put a context link there for a bookmark for sure on the tablet and Dolphin is pretty nice.

Hope this helps, GL.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
You don't get the option for Bookmark when you long press on an open area of a home screen?

This is Adlxmod Froyo for Defy

- Based off Chinese Froyo Motorola release,

(moto/ME525_umts/umts_jordan/ME525:2.2.1/JDGC_0.26.0/1291957876:user/release-keys)

- Fully Deodexed by me -> Theme ready

- Optionally a dark notification bar patch can be installed, see below.

- Rooted

- Phone can be used with no SIM

- Includes Motoblur, which can be skipped

- Removed Chinese Bloatware

This rom targets people who want to upgrade to 2.2, but still like Motoblur. Performance isn't as good as deblurred rom, but you can OC/UV it to make it perform better (what I do).

Updated:

- Market 2.2.11 + Market Fix (Occidental apps)

- Google Maps 5.0.0

Added:

- Adlx Protips Widget

- Google Apps

- Swype (OEM version from Defy's Eclair rom)

- HTC_IME Keyboard

- Gingerbread Keyboard

- Android Terminal Emulator

- Wireless (Wifi & Bluetooth) Tethering

- Busybox 1.16

- AOSP Email App

- Titanium 3.6.7.1

- LauncherPro 0.8.2

- Tenfar ClockworkMod Recovery

- 3D Gallery (my mod)

- Overclock support (phone won't be OCed by default)

- SetCPU (free from XDA, please donate on the Market)

- Milestone Overclock

- Added in /system/xbin: rwsystem/rosystem, wpa_cli, zipalign, strace, ssh, sqlite3, dexopt-wrapper, tcpdump, fix_permissions, iptables

- Lots of APNs added

- Ad-Blocking

- AOSP Eclair icons

Instructions:

Rom's Nandroid: adlxmod-Defy-Froyo-build05.zip

DarkBar Patch : adlxmod-Defy-Froyo-DarkBarOnly.1-signed.zip

- This Rom is a Nandroid backup of system to be restored over the phone.

- The zip contains:

ZIP:\goapkrev\

\backup\

\date & time\

system.img

nandroid.md5

It has to be unzipped in the root of the SDcard in the exact same structure:

SDCRAD:\goapkrev\

\backup\

\date & time\

system.img

nandroid.md5

If u are not using a Froyo rom yet, start with those steps:

- Flash Chinese Froyo sbf using RSD Lite

- Root using SuperOneClickFor2.1

- Reboot

- Install Tenfar Recovery application

- Run Tenfar Recovery

- Install Recovery

( If you are using already a Froyo rom for Defy, you can jump directly to these steps )

- DISABLE USB Debugging Mode (In Settings / Applications / Developpement)

- Reboot into Recovery

- Restore nandroid

- (Optional) Flash the DarkBar patch

- Wipe All!

- Reboot

Known Issues:

- Gallery 3D will FC if click on the camera button, will fix later

- Swype close word window doesn't show up upon double tap (?!)

- Only English & Chinese locales for the moment

- No PTBR locale in swype. Working on it.

- Camera Flash is sort of working for me, it fires correctly but seems a bit out of sync. Hope you have more luck with that.

[Defy Android Development] isikh:
Here's the problem, I like this ROM, but I hate BLUR, however this rom doesn't have too much blur, and sadly, the reason I can't use this ROM is because EDGE is the only connectivity I get. Also, I'm using another ROM atm and everytime I upgrade to maps 5.0 navigation stops working and maps lags alot. Is that the case here?

EDIT: Also, I like the keyboards and I want skype back, but I can't extract them because it's an .img file and I don't have anything that can view it...therefore i was wondering, coiuld you please upload the swype and HTC IME? I'm on the original USA DEFY and miss swype and I like HTC IME. =[
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
You can install swype by their official page "http://beta.swype.com/" just register and follow the steps, i had to uninstall and remove some files on the one the comes with Defy but after it i was able to do install it.

I did all of this because i wanted swype in Portuguese, that is not available in the ROM's
[Defy Android Development] isikh:
That is good and all, but I want the version of Swpe that came with my T-Mobile DEFY, well it's actually my friend's DEFY, he got it yesterday I"m rooting and helping, but anyways he wants the version that came with the phone originally the white skin and all. I know that's possible because this ROM has it, but I"m running a different 2.2 ROM at the moment, and I don't know how to extract the keyboard form this ROM.

There are instructions on restoring 3g for US on this forum.
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
Try to install this .apk, is from moto.
[Defy Android Development] isikh:
I saw that, but are there any not involving ADB because I keep getting an error when trying to use ADB with the DEFY -

I get this error:

* daemon not running. starting it now *

CreateProcess failure, error 2

* failed to start daemon *

error: cannot connect to daemon
[Defy Android Development] rob-t:
You need to uninstall/reinstall ADB or re-read the installation instructions. You have a problem with your environmental variables.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK

Also that 3G fix only works with Android 2.1 (eclair). You will need to make or get a 3G fix for Android 2.2 (froyo). I'm not sure how that would happen, since you would need some files off of a 2.2 rom that is compatible with US networks, and the only current 2.2 rom is the chinese version. Which is why I haven't tried any of the 2.2 roms yet. I'm just going to wait until something more stable is available.
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Hi Adlxdum, I restored your back and your rom is really fast and pretty neatly modded, thank you very much for that. However, immediately after booting, google is restoring all the apps and settings which I had on my previous rom. Including the apps. Hence not much customization seems to be left at the end of this. Is there a file that is somewhere here on either my sd card or inside my phone which I can delete. That way I can enjoy the complete benefits of your rom.

thanks again.

EDIT: Sorry there is an option on froyo for that. I unchecked the "restore backup" option under privacy.

If you don't use Launcher Pro, you can remove it from /system/app.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyesryanmjaube:
Long story short: I messed up with flashing a custom rom. But gladly, I got my phone fixed. Now, I wanna root again but I'm scared of rom flashing. I just wanna do the basic benefits of rooting like deleting stock aps and other things.

So what other 'rooting benefits' can I obtain without rom flashing? Or without having the risk of bricking my phone? The rooting process is kinda simple for me since I can use the z4root app.

Help? Anyone? :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberghoser1:
You can obtain lot of goodies, like install applications not coming from the market, i guess, edit system files, remove non needed system applications, do a lot of things, be sure when you flash a rom to have a fully charged battery, its really hard to brick it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] azsnakes:
mmmmm ????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tina333:
depending what phone you have?? Rooting is safe enough, you can "unroot" just as easy! I definitely recommend z4root :) If you flash another ROM be sure to do lots of research next time!!! If you experience any problems, dont forget google can be your best friend! You can count on the fact you wont be the only one having the same problem :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xxmonsterx:
Iinstead of asking and waiting for responses, search on the forum or read a sticky or something to expand your knowledge if you aren't comfortable with cmd you probably shouldn't be messing with root privileges. And bricked phones are dead phones, you can only recover from a brick by replacing hardware
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyesryanmjaube:
Wow. Since you put it that way.

But there's just too much. You cant blame me for being like this. I bricked my phone and they replaced the mother board (for free) and I am worried to do this again. I tried learning, I failed. And I don't like to be a wannabe developer of some sort, I just want to maximize my phone to it's potential and do what most people do.

You can say that I haven't exerted too much effort. In that case, maybe you're not the person I should me asking help from. Sorry, I was hurt.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tina333:
CMD (command shell in windows,mac or linux) is only used when you change ROMs or unlock the bootloader (the program that loads the ROM) apps and themes have nothing to do with it, you will read ADB a lot which is basically a way to access the whole device remotely, most of this you do on the handset itself. Root is a term the same as apples jailbreak, which gives you complete access to everything (most is protected bloatware (apps) that network providers don't want you to delete, there is also a percentage of protection stopping you messing up bits that bricking your phone! Bricking doesn't mean screen wont work, force closes or not booting...it means DEAD! If see something cool that you fancy doing, research a little first and if you don't know what it is or means...DONT DO IT! Its that simple :-) root is what you make it, it opens a lot of options but there's no rush to get to the end, the you learn doing little bits, the quicker you'll be confident flashing ROMs and maybe even developing your own customisations :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberghoser1:
If you want to maximize your phone's full potential you have to deal with thoses things, e.g.: joy 845 comes with the stock rom, which is slow and contains many things not needed, thus you have to flash another rom, better, faster etc...so yeah you have to be a wannabe in the end if you want to do what you want.

Lookout has, in some people's experience, drained the battery.

Best anti-virus? COMMON. SENSE. If an app is asking for the permission to call numbers, send text messages, and access your Google account, OR, asks for root permissions, when it's supposed to be a wallpaper bundle, DON'T INSTALL IT.

Furthermore, DO NOT USE PIRATED CRAP. If you read the articles Lookout's posted about the malware going around, it's all from secondary or untrustworthy alternatives to the Android Market, or from pirate sites.

Really, for everything on the Market that costs money, there's some kind of free alternative. Or you could always, y'know, spend $2 to buy that app. After all you did buy a $450 phone with a monthly bill of no less than $70...
[EVO 4G General] :
I think Lookout is shady. A lot of these companies create viruses so they could increase their user base.

Aforementioned, don't install an app that demands access to personal and sensitive stuff. That's the main giveaway.

Lookout is one of the only companies that has something to gain from the existence of viruses and since they are pretty much the only company who ever finds and reports about these viruses, gotta take that info with a grain of salt. Like previously stated, common sense will keep your phone safe
