[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
I have had the Era for a couple of days and it's good. It's basically an Icon with (hopefully) better battery life, vastly improved music sound, and voice caller id of limited usefuleness. I hope this will change in the future, but the voice caller id is limited to 10 numbers that you program in yourself. No phonebook download like BlueAnt. I'd still be all over the BlueAnt T1 if it didn't cut out so much when the phone was in my pocket, as I loved how it did the phonebook download, and the answer by voice.

Pros:

Much improved music quality

Seems to connect calls a tiny bit quicker

Finally SOME voice caller ID

Seems to remember BT audio settings better (when turning on the Icon, half the time my Evo would get the BT audio, the other half it would go to my work BB 9700. Era seems to always go to my Evo as desired, maybe it remembers the last one connected?)

Cons:

Same good bass can make voices sound less clear than the Icon

Only 10 voice caller id entries, you gotta be kidding me!

Very high price (thanks UPS for my 25% accessory discount)
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
Agreed, on the pro plus...

no better bt on the market right now, and I have had ALOT of them
[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
Hands down? End of story?

Let's see. Huge, heavy design. Not glasses/sunglasses friendly. VERY fragile (look at all the reports of people needing 2-3 replacements within 6 months). Wind noise still gets transmitted through even with 3 mics.

Of course there are probably great things about it too, as you seem to love it as much as I love the Icon (and now Era). I HATED the first two Jawbones, and used Plantronics for a few years (though none of them lasted worth a crap). The Blueant Z9 was probably the first BT headset I considered to be good, but compared to what's available now it was absolute junk.

So anyway, great for you, poo for me.. No hostility intended, just posting the facts as I see them. Tomato tomato, potato potato, blah blah blah.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
Eh sorry, seems harsh now that I reread what I wrote... Just my opinion.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nohbdyshero:
I just got the Era last week and love it! the "default" earbud fits my ear nicely...the sound is clear, people seem to understand me, voice search and dial work as good as ever

The "tap tap" takes a little getting used to but works great once you get the hang....

The battery life is nice (I wish they would get their act together and get a battery meter like they have to iphone and blackberry though)
[EVO 4G Accessories] jstnp_ke:
I have had the voyager pro for a good while now and It is a bit of a tight fit but I never have had issues with wearing my nike glasses or my oakley sunglasses. Also it is the best BT I've ever owned I use it in my convertible all the time on the highway at the worst I may have to roll up my windows but other than that its awesome!!!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hawaii Tom:
Just got the new ERA. Had an ICON and the Jawbone before that. Each one improves in increments. The sound, especially for music, has improved greatly. Upgrade the firmware ASAP because the shipping one can have a crackle when playing voice mail... some kind of a quirk in the DSP circuit. Caller ID actually lets you use 20 numbers, which is enough for my most called circle. Only numbers after that 20. I like it, but it's still going for full list of $129, even on Amazon. One of the few things I'm a first adopter of. Always been happy with them. Good range with my EVO, too.
[EVO 4G Accessories] billyapd21:
Just picked one up. So far I haven't really placed any calls with it but the audio listening to music and podcasts is really good. So far it works with Pandora, HTC Music app, Google Listen. That's about all that I've tried. When I get home tonight I'm going to update the firmware and add some people to the phone book. I'll update in a few days once a take some calls on it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
Just bought another one 3 days ago because I lost my first one. Then I found the other one yesterday. Annoyed.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sunnilocs:
Jawbone ERA

I just picked up this pricey item in the hopes of getting all these high end features to use with my EVO 4G (HTC Sprint). I immediately loved the pairing and was able to hear my music through it. However, to get to the other features I spent $130 for such as speech to text, audible email, caller id etc., you're supposed to go to mytalk.jawbone.com. So I register and I get a message saying my operating system is not supported. WHAT!!! I'm so bummed because I thought this one was gonna be the one. (I've tried 3 others so far.) Anyone know how to work around this compatibility issue? If not, please recommend a full featured bluetooth.

Thanks!

[EVO 4G Accessories] rockhard441:
I've had every Jawbone since they launched and just got the Era having retired my Icon which was not working well of late. (Kept disconnecting and reconnecting with the phone constantly.) So I thought I'd try the Era and have set it up to work with my EVO 4G. Love the quality of the sound, calls are clearer (even in my convertible), and everything seems to be working well EXCEPT the caller ID. I have imported about 12 numbers that I want announced by name, but only one works correctly. When I'm called by any of the others that I've added to my list, it only reads the number, ("Call from: 818-555-1212") and won't say "Call from: John Smith". The numbers that won't announce by name are in my list, and the Era is correctly updated with MyTalk. I even deleted the entire profile, reset both the headset and phone and started all over again with the same result. If anyone has any ideas, I'd sure love to hear them!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BorgCymru:
First off I keep getting the phone turn off at random moments, usually twice a day

Widgets disappear from the screen after re boot. and then from the menu so I have to uninstall and re install the app to get them back.

Keyboard can't be changed to any other type.

Tried the iPhone style and the Gingerbread one.

Can't turn off notification for the messaging and Facebook application

Seems it doesn't allow changes to the settings.

Anyone know how to fix these problems, or maybe another ROM thats not so fussy.

On another note. where can I get the standard HTC ROM. I've never had standard Android on this Desire so maybe I could go back to spec.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koenvbeek:
I'm running Defrost too, but I think it's the best rom around. I haven't got a clue how to fix this, except flash it back to stock and start from scratch.

To do that, just flash an RUU. Have a look at this thread:http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BorgCymru:
Would I have to re unlock root then ?

Also which RUU is the one I need

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koenvbeek:
That depends on how you bought the phone. If you bought is yourself as a retail product, you should take the WWE RUU. If you bought it via a Telecom provider, you should choose the one from that particular provider.

If you can choose between multiple versions: choose the one that came with your phone. Eg if you had Android 2.1 in the past, you should choose a 2.1 one. All RUU's with version 1.x are 2.1, all 2.x are 2.2.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BorgCymru:
Ahh, now I know it was an unbranded version but when I got it it already had Defrost on it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BorgCymru:
OK cool. I used the exe version of the AUU and it worked. I'm back as standard now. Which isn't to bad. Might leave it like this for now.

As I don't really know what the benefits of the DeFrost are.

Hi,

Is there a way to create an SMB connection to a shared windows folder and create a permanent map to say a virtual folder on the sdcard that can be accessed from within other apps?

I'd like to be able to access a windows shared folder from within other apps, specifically office apps (quick office, office pro) rather than having to use ES File explorer or the like to access the files first.

I've used google docs via the office apps which is great, but need to find a way to access local network files on a per user (login) basis for apps.

Thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] huntar:
The only thing I have found that works OK is CIFsManager.

It is a pain to launch on VEGAn 5.1 beta (I can't launch it from the app drawer, I have to go into Market or Titanium Backup to start it), but it works to map drives over so my multi-terabyte store of video and music files on my home server are "local" files.

The app mounts the shares under /mnt/cifs/<share-name> by default, but you can mount them anywhere I think. If you are not using VEGAn 5.1 beta, make sure your ROM has cifs.ko capability (can probably check the release notes for whatever ROM you are using). If you are using the stock TnT, I am not sure if CIFsManager will work, but it might work with one of the enhancement packs for the stock image.

If you hve questions you can PM me or just post back. I'll check the thread again later today.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tcrews:
Weird....I use VEGAn 5.1 beta and have no problems launching CIFsManager from the app drawer or the shortcut on the homescreen.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nikt:
Thanks Huntar,

Works a treat, although I do get the same issue you report, unable to launch from the app drawer, have to launch from the Market. Be interesting to get to the bottom of that (i'm running vegan 5.1 beta also)

Now I need the next step, which is to provide a simple interface to get users to 'login' to their shared folders then 'logout' once finished. It's a multi user per device scenario, thus need the ability to have dynamic mapping per user...

Any ideas or developers willing to write something? Can be paid development if anyone is interested....?

Nik
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] huntar:
That is definitely a lot of heavy lifting if the device is used my multiple people with different access rights. My scenario is simple as everyone has full access to the media server.

I don't understand the launch issue, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, tried different things, but can't get it to launch from the app drawer or a shortcut.

Good luck, I'm sure that someone here (I'm NOT a programmer) can whip up something to script out the drive mappings. You might try a more general Android development thread elsewhere on XDA, you might have better chance of finding that programmer.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] huntar:
You might look at Mount Manager also... seems like it might work better, as it can mount shares based on location and task (with the paid license) triggers. I just found it in the Market while I was twiddling with the CIFsManager install. I might try it myself as CIFsManager is tedious even for me.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] msieg080:
Permission Denied

I don't mind the launch from Market (as I have the same issue, tnt lite 3.1.4, with clemsyn #77 kernel). I put in the address and share name, which I can log into my router and pull all that info as the hard drive is connected to my router, and when I try to mount I get Permission Denied?? Thoughts?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ensign.fodder:
Any help on getting this working? I too have the marketplace launch issue (not a big deal) but eveytime I try to mount I get a no such file or directory error. I am used to CIFS in Windows so what am I missing?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ensign.fodder:
Bought it and like it so far - works better then CIFsManager but then you get what you pay for - you hope.

[Android Themes] petsasj:
After a lot of trial and error, here it is. Pretty simply you will be able to change your lockscreen background to whatever your liking is.

This has been mentioned to be working on both MDPI and HDPI resolutions.

This mod works only for CM7, as it includes the rotary lockscreen code

.

IMPORTANT

This will alter your framework-res.apk folder, and this means you will lose your current accounts and sync settings. So backup with titanium first (or whatever you use). ALSO, NANDROID TO BE SAFE

I've made 2 versions so far:

1) First version is your normal lockscreen, with altered background. Nothing else is changed.

2) Lockscreen with altered clock. Moved to the top-left to leave more space for your new background to show. Here's how it looks:

FIRST STEP - How to apply Lockscreen for the first time

1) Included are 2 CustomLockscreen .zip files. Choose wether you want the edited clock version or not, then go ahead and download

2) Use either metamorph, or simply overwrite in your own framework-res.apk files the contents of the zip file (if you overwrite, make sure you leave out the .xml file in the ROOT of the zip)

3) Apply Metamorph, or use your own framework-res.apk and push it via adb.

4) Reboot. Note this also changes your home background picture, just simply change it to your normal one. Don't worry, the lockscreen one won't change after you change your home background.

STEP TWO - After having applied the first step, you need to do this to change image everytime you want to

1) Download the ChangeLockscreen.zip

2) Use metamorph to extract the zip then exit metamorph

3) Mount your phone to your pc and place your 320x480(MDPI) or 480x766(HDPI) picture in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/ChangeLockscreen/framework-res/drawable

4) Go back to metamorph, choose "Pick existing theme" and Navigate to the ChangeLockscreen folder, and choose the ChangeLockscreen.xml

5) Apply

6) Reboot

7) Change home wallpaper again.

NOTE Use a 320x480 JPG IMAGE (MDPI) OR 480x766 JPG IMAGE (HDPI) of your liking and place it in /drawable named as default_wallpaper.jpg

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

Extract your framework-res.apk from your current rom

Boot in recovery and enable USB toggle

adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/framework/framwork-res.apk
adb push /the-folder-you-extracted-your-framework-res/framework.res.apk /system/framework

Reboot

NOTES MDPI devices use the normal zips. HDPI devices use the HDPI zips.

If you like this, please THANK away :)

where´s the difference to [Custom] Lockscreen Background ? (besides of not changing frameworks-res.apk)
[Android Themes] petsasj:
I haven't actually seen what is edited in your xml, but seeing the name of the files they seem to have the same layout, except yours targets /drawable-hdpi (which doesn't exist in MPDI or LDPI screens).

Tried to morph it (because as i said i was too bored to decompile your xml), and it doesn't seem to work. Have you included the rotary lockscreen code?

+ the small edit to the clock position.

I'm sorry for not seeing it earlier (i did search online, but didnt come across it, could have made my life easier). All i found on the net was an eclair edit of the lockscreen, and based on that, and on what png's were already included on the framework-res.apk files in CM7, i decided to use that obvious choice (default_wallpaper)

@gomorrah

Thanks for letting me know :)
[Android Themes] rori~:
No prob :)

What I did was for cm6 and could been used on any resolution, just has to be updated to cm7 and can be easily used as a morph after every nightly.

For cm7 I did this now :)

im a little lost on how to change the whole lockscreen like your where u have the 4 lock/unlock . how do i get my lockscreen like that. please help
[Android Themes] petsasj:
Can you be a little more specific? What's going wrong with your case?

1)You need metamorph. Download it from the market.

2) Flash either CustomLockscreen_petsasj.zip (normal clock in lockscreen) or CustomLockscreen_WITHCLOCK.zip (edited clock)

Then for simply changing the picture, use the other script, ChangeLockscreen.zip.

Extract it in Metamorph, insert the picture of your liking in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/drawable/default_wallpaper.jpg (use the mentioned picture sizes depending on MDPI/HDPI)

Edit: Wrote the steps again, should be easier to understand (was in a hurry yesterday, sorry)
[Android Themes] th3taman:
Can you tell my how you did this on your EVO? I have tried applying both ZIPs through metamorph and I always end up with this grass screen. Also, the clock is higher in my image than the one in the original post.

If there is a way to do it through Root Explorer, I don't mind doing...just need to know the steps. Metamorph has never wanted to work correctly on my phone that's why I had abandoned it long ago.
[Android Themes] petsasj:
Seems like the xml edits in HDPI phones are a bit off, as the screens are higher, and that makes sense.

Thetaman, i posted an update for HDPI Devices, get that from the first post.
[Android Themes] th3taman:
Petsasj,

Thanks for trying to help. I extracted your CustomLockscreen_WITHCLOCKHDPI.zip in Metamorph. I get some kind of error message when extracting in Metamorph, I think, but it flashes so quickly and is a long message I'm not sure what it says or means. Do you get a message?

I then select Pick Exiting Theme and see a CustomLockscreen_WITHCLOCKHDPI folder. I click on it and there is a CustomLockscreen_WITHCLOCKHDPI.xml file and a framework-res file. If I dig into the framework-res file and get to drawable-hdpi and click on it, it shows no files. Screenshot below. However, if I follow the same path through Root Explorer to the same location it shows the default_wallpaper.jpg. Why do I see it in Root Explorer and not in Metamorph? I'm guessing whatever the problem is, this is why when I apply it in Metamorph...it never changes off the Green Grass screen (default Android)?
[Android Themes] petsasj:
I have no idea what could be wrong. I'm sorry =/

What can be done is this:

Get your Rom's framework-res.apk, then:

1) Navigate to the HDPI zip file from the first post, and copy the /res/layout folder content.

2) Open your framework-res.apk (the one you extracted from your rom) with Winrar, navigate to /res/layout and paste (this should overwrite the two files)

3) Use a picture of your liking, sized @ 480x766, named it default_wallpaper.jpg and place it in /res/drawable-hdpi

4) After having added those two files in your framework, use adb to adb push your framework back in place

This is how, if you don't know:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push C:\framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot

You can copy these lines in, so long as the edited framework-res.apk file is in the root of your C:\ drive. Let me know.
