[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABundy:
I still don't understand why people stick to their quadrant scores. Of course it is fun, but if you can do stuff with your phone and no annoyance like lag or whatsoever. Who cares whether quadrant score is 100 or 200?>
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
I just wanted to know y'all s personal opinion on these lauchers. I and using darky 8.1 and the twlaucher on it is pretty satisfying but I am thinking about switching...

Please write about what you think is the best launcher.

P.s. I think this is a question but I'm not sure about general. So sorry if I put it in the wrong section
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Currently using adw, was using lp for a long time. Main reason for adw or lp is the ability to customize the appearance if you're home screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeshmoe08:
I use launcher pro because it has the most features, after the most recent update 8.3 which has home screen animations. It also gives you a lot of dock custimization abilities (swipe actsions)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
I would recommend using all three, and deciding since its a personal choice.

I tend to go with launcher pro since it does not allow to uninstall an app from home screen or from apps list.

Was using ADW earlier, but stopped using since the update that let an app be uninstalled with a long press on that in the home screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbcap43:
I'm currently using HeLauncher... pretty sweet!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
I tried ADW launcher for a while but it just seemed, okay. I tried out GoLauncher for a few days but I kept getting FC on many apps. I am currently using Zema launcher and really like it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
Are other launcher like zeam, go, etc good too?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Launchers are in a way like roms. There are several good options and it is personal preference as towhich is best
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
I hate all of these aftermarket options. Stock Gingerbread launcher for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Completely uncustomizable
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
I'm currently using Zeam and really like it. I did really enjoy Go Launcher but I was having force closes, not sure if it was Go launcher or not but I haven't had any since I switch. If they update to remove some bugs, I may go back. LauncherPro was really good too. ADW seemed kind of drab to me but I'm not sure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desmopilot:
All about Zeam imo. Great light-weight launcher (actually makes the phone feel faster).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietz:
im a big fan of lightweight and minimalistic programs in general, even though i see my phone as quite powerful (SGS2) but the zeam launcher doesnt do it for me. scrolling in the app list is not even close to being as smooth as the LP, thats why im sticking with that one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa1yan:
I use TWLauncher 4.5 and theres enough customization for everyone with Fr40gg0rs hacked version. Its way better looking than launcherpro and is just as fast. And I prefer the TW app drawer as well, which is also very custmizable..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stizzle246:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulzboy:
Just flashed Bionix-v while battery is 100% filled.

Do I need to recondition my battery and if I do what are the steps to recondition it?

And I heard that reconditioning is bad for the battery is this true?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulzboy:
Please reply!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sroach23:
charge it to 100%, while still plugged in reboot into recovery, select advanced, wipe battery stats, reboot, and when the phone says 100% unplug it. after you run it all the way down recharge fully and you are done.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulzboy:
Alright thank you!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
No wtf he's telling u wrong.

Charge till 100 drain clear battery data, charge to 100 drain.

Done

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjggilbert:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Everyone told me to do it the way I said when I made a thread like this... :O
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zormac:
Have you seen this from the "tips & tricks" guide?

1.) Drain your battery to the point it shuts off on it's own..

2.) Plug it in & let it charge over night (While it is still off)

3.) Launch into ClockWork Recovery by holding the "VOL UP", "VOL DOWN", & "Power" release those buttons after you see the second Vibrant screen.

4.) Press "reinstall packages" (It should take you to the Clockwork Mod Recovery screen, If it didn't then press "reinstall packages' again)

5.) Go to "advanced"

6.) Press "Wipe Battery Stats"

7.) Reboot​

I also saw this slightly more involved method over at the Bionix V ROM thread:

Eugene373's method

Charge full

use up battery till dies (do not plug it in at all during this step)

Keep trying to turn phone on until it no longer even says "samsung vibrant"

Then pull the battery, replace it, then turn it on again until it no longer turns on (repeat until it doesnt work by pulling batt anymore)

Charge full, while OFF

Boot into recovery using hard key method

Reset battery in advanced menu

Pull batt (do not turn on)

Replace batt

leave on charger till it says 100% (cause it might not when you reboot after resetting it)

If/when it says 100% then reboot while plugged in

Unplug then let it drain fully again

Charge while off to 100%​

I am assuming that the "hard key method" refers to step three of the procedure listed at the top of this post, although I could be wrong...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MV10:
Drumroll... the correct answer:

Charge to 100%

Wipe the stats

Use your phone normally

Fully recharge when it's nearly dead

That's it, really. The important parts are wiping on a full charge, and using your phone normally. For best results, don't plug it in until you've drained it more or less completely -- through normal usage. For the most accurate readings, the theory is that you should do this several times (except for the wipe, of course).

"Batterystats" is just a data file that keeps track of what your battery "looks like" when it's full, when it's charging, when it's drained, and how it behaves throughout a normal day of usage.

If the file is wiped, the OS assumes the battery is starting out from a full charge, which is why the original out-of-the-box instructions tell you to fully charge it before you use the phone for the first time. Other than charging it fully, whatever you do before you wipe it doesn't matter -- because you're throwing all that data away when you wipe the stats. You certainly don't want to wipe it when your battery is discharged.

Forcing your battery to drain quickly both shortens your battery life (they aren't designed for sustained high output) and provides a false usage profile, so just use it normally.

It appears that Bionix-V saves you the trouble of wiping it by providing a blank batterystats file when you flash it, so in that case you just flash when you already have a full charge, then use your phone normally until it has drained.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
No your right
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] akira02rex:
Seems the .nomedia file trick works for keeping ringtones playing in the music player as well. The android music player, like the gallery app, searches and plays EVERY peice of sound file available on the device's memory.

But, once .nomedia is placed in the ringtone folder, you're ROM cannot find the ringtones anymore!

Any solution to this? Why can't these smartphones be "smarter"? Hell, blackberries had this feature ages ago...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] FEGuy:
You're telling the OS there's no media in that folder, thus it stops looking for any media there. It's not hard to figure out. Despite not being tagged songs, the mp3 or files are still viewed as media.

Does the media player offer some sort of folder exclusion for its libraries? I never use anything but Pandora, so I wouldn't know.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] akira02rex:
Yea I understood that, but that's basically what I'm wondering - if there's an exclusion folder made specifically for ringstones/notifications. You'd think there would be, in fact, there HAS to be...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
There is a way. Search the forums I know its been posted before I just can't remember how. Also, check your gallery thread, try that solution for music, may work.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] FEGuy:
I don't know about how you're trying to set a ringtone, but try removing the .nomedia file and rename the folder with a period in front (if it's named ringtones, rename it .ringtones, etc.). That should still exclude the folder from libraries, but it still might stop it from being found by whatever method you're using to set the tone.

Also, if you feel like dicking around with the phone's internal media, the ringtones there are stored in /system/media/audio/ringtones/; you can probably add a file there and keep it excluded.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] matt_b:
use a different media player. i recommend doubletwist.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hungmung:
I have my ringtones in media/audio/ringtones on my sd and none of them show up in my music player.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] GroovyGeek:
that is strange because I do too and they show up in the stock HTC music player. quite annoying
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hungmung:
I use cm7 so I haven't tried the htc player in a while sorry
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Gabes Dad:
Make sure the folder is named exactly as above. I originally fogot the S on ringtones. Once I added it my ringtones no longer showed up in my stock music player.
[Desire General] Karantor:
Hey XDA,

I'm hoping you guys would be able to help me, it seems I've run into a small issue with my HTC Desire, after I attempted to install an OTA update on my currently rooted phone.

It now won't boot up, at all, and simply just restarts just after it vibrates once when the HTC logo pops up, and keeps looping.

I am unable to enter Recovery through the bootloader (HBOOT-0.93.0001) as it pops up with a red triangle error, and I have very little proficiency in working with the Fastboot as I've been reading in other threads, nor will HTC Sync find my phone, even if the phone reads as Fastboot USB.

Running the RUU update just comes up with a Windows error when trying to run the executable, and doesn't let me process through that update either.

Thanks for any advance/steps you guys can provide, much appreciated.

Cheers,

Edit: Just to add, it's an unbranded HTC Desire, for the purposes of the RUUs.
[Desire General] Karantor:
Just to add a bit more information, I managed to get the Android SDK installed and ADB doesn't seem to be finding my device, even though Windows managed to find it - could this be related to me using the interface driver from unrevoked?

e: Have now tried with other drivers as well, still not able to find the device in adb. It will find it when I attempt to boot into recovery, but shows the device as being offline.
[Desire General] Karantor:
Managed to resolve it, suddenly the RUU would work and managed to install it succesfully and it booted up. Sorry for causing any alarm here!
[Desire General] torpe_03:
wont boot

i think it is the same to what is happening to me. it wont boot, i went to flashboot/recovery but blacks out to the next page. pc seems to find it when connected in usb during flashboot. im stuck.

Just thinking about security on my Dhd - I have quite a bit of info on here now and would feel much better if I knew that I could wipe it remotely.

I've done a bit of searching and haven't managed to find the answer(s) I'm looking for. There are a few decent ROM's around here but nothing specific to what I want as an end result. The ROM's seem to come in ZIP files and open fine in WinRAR. Can I use WinRAR to delete apk files that I don't want to install and still end up with a file safe to flash in Clockwork Recovery? Thanks in advance!
[Wildfire Android Development] nunosilva10:
yes you can. But dont extract the zip file (the rom), double click on it, system>app, and then delete what you want :) I let you here this site for you to see witch apk you can remove/uninstall :

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] adamr240:
This one looks interesting. It looks like it wraps all the way around the side of the phone, and slides apart on the back to open. This might keep from having the issue of jamming the screen cover in between the slider mechanism.

Has anyone ever used this brand? I'm curious if it is worth it.

http://www.wirelessphonegallery.com/htc-evo-shift-slide-snap-on-case-black.aspx
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] oboroninja:
Looks interesting. I'm curious, and half tempted to pull the trigger on this just to see the design..
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] BuddahWolf01:
Ill be watching this thread to see if anyone gets it. It is an interesting ide.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] unityjasont:
I am definitely interested in this too, I used to have a slider case for my touch pro that worked very well, but it was a side slider. I'm curious how that wrap around would mess with how you hold your phone though
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] silex:
What do they mean by the "sliding mechanism is on the back of the handset rather than the front or sides"?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] unityjasont:
Well I haven't actually seen the case in person, but I'm guessing its similar to my old case for my tp in that I didn't clip to the phone. You would put the bottom on, then the top by sliding the pieces together into their slides. This held it on the phone and made for no pulling apart the phone by the clips being in between the two halves. I've really been surprised that design didn't catch on a lot better then it did. I loved it!

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-shift-4g/52820-evo-shift-case.html
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] cachorropedorro:
I just got it. It feels really good. It feels as though it should cost more money. It makes the phone fit better in my hands. Feels a lot sturdier as well. Once I get a hold of another camera I can take some pictures.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] koolkid09:
Just ordered mine too. Will post pictures when I get it.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] unityjasont:
I am highly debating getting this, I already have the max coverage invisible shield on my phone, but I would feel better if it had some rubber surrounding it. But I want to hear real world reviews before I jump.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] cachorropedorro:
This case isn't rubber. It feels like a hard plastic that is slightly rubbery. Feels VERY similar to the back of the evo shift 4g(without the case of course)
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] koolkid09:
I got mine today. But its loose at the top right of my phone. Its like it doesn't fit all the way. So I'm going to return it and patienly wait for another one.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] unityjasont:
How does it attach to the phone? Does it actually clip to it, or do the two pieces of case hold to each other? I have a few extra batteries and I want to be able to pop off the back easily, and that usually breaks the tabbed ones. So if this holds on like I think it does, it's perfect for me. How does it feel protective wise? Like are you pretty confident it will protect the phone? or does it still leave a wavering feeling like I better never drop this thing or it's shot? lol
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] cachorropedorro:
Mine is starting to get like that too. It doesn't bother me too much though.

@unityjasont: The two sides are independent from each other. The backpiece clips onto the rear part of your phone and the top piece onto the screen/slider portion. Then you match them up so that they are on the track. It feels very solid to me. I've actually dropped my phone twice since I got this case. Just scuffed up the case a little bit and I rubbed off the scratch easily each time. It's pretty easy to pop off the backpiece. It doesn't feel as though it's going to break. I also forgot to mention that the camera, flash, and volume rocker are now recessed. So there's no worrying about scratching the camera lens, and there's a lot less accidental volume key pressing.

I took some pictures as well as a video with my macbook's crappy camera.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] dtaylorr:
glad your happy

Sorry, I just don't get the piece that slides up with the screen. Seems kind of strange and in the way.

Is there a point to this thing?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] cachorropedorro:
Its seems to help the stability of the slider. The phone feels a lot more solid when opened because of it.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] unityjasont:
that's a little disappointing, I was hoping it wouldn't clip to the phone at all, and was just help together by the clip. I think my old lady got me this case for v-day since that's the only thing I told her I wanted that wasn't gonna be over $100...lol. So I guess i'll find out soon if I like it or not.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] cachorropedorro:
How would it stay on without clips? Its a slider phone remember.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] adamr240:
It seems like it would help if you dropped it with the slide open.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Matty Mo:
