[Nook Color Themes and Apps] LeathaLurker:
This may be common sense but I was having problems earlier syncing my kindle for mac and pc books with my Kindle for android. The kindle app on the nook is a nice alternative to the built in B&N reader for the availability of .mobi files.

Basically this is how I wireless sync my kindle app with my kindle for mac. If there is a better way I'd love to hear it.

Requirements:

-Dropbox app and dropbox on pc/mac.

-.mobi ebook file (or any other file readable by kindle)

-Root Explorer or similar

-SD card.

1) take the .mobi file or .azw file you want in your kindle app and put (or copy) it in your drop box. (I use calibre to edit the metadata/ add a table of contents if they are not already present before I move them).

2)Open dropbox app and download ebook. Then exit dropbox.

3) Open root explorer then to /sdcard/dropbox. Hit menu then multi-select, select the book (or books) you want to move and hit move. Go back to parent folder.

4) Go to the kindle folder (should be in /sdcard/kindle) you have to use the kindle folder on the sd card.

5) Click paste and exit root explorer.

6) To get your kindle app to sync with your sd card you have to pop the sd card out and put it back in. I just press it twice.

7) Open up kindle app and your books should be there.

Obviously you can avoid doing this by using an sd card reader and just dragging the books, into the kindle directory straight from your computer but this is just a neat way to do it via wireless.

Also you can load apks from dropbox if you want.

On my sd card i created a folder called kindle...... i put my files in there and the kindle app see's them all. woot

Well, apparently you can get free games from Gameloft as Samsung have teamed up with them to offer this promotion.

However, when entering in the details on:

Whatever I type in for date comes up red, even in the correct format they want you to type it in DD/MM/YYYY.

Tell me if you succeed. :)

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj0121:
So I followed nbetcher's method for rooting my MyTouch 3G Slide and I got far as rooting it. I got the # after entering in all the commands. Now I'm just stuck at being able to flash custom roms onto it. I restarted the phone and it was doing it's thing verifying ESPRIMG.zip and then it said Main Version is older! and asked if I wanted to reboot. I really want to install a custom rom on my phone. Please if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDaZzLeFatHoeZz:
Well obviously you are inexperienced as the ESPRIMG.zip has nothing to do with flashing a CUSTOM ROM boot into Android and download ROM MANAGER off of the Market and flash Clockwork 2.5.0.1 and then download Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 stable and when it is done it will ask if you wanna boot into recovery Backup and Wipe Data and Cache and then your phone will reboot into recovery and install the ROM
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaldiar:
The modified ESPRIMG.img from the aforementioned root method is the initial modded ROM from which is rooted to allow you to put another custom ROM on if you so choose. which includes Rom Manager. All you needed to do is inform the OP that he should use Rom Manager to do all his backing up and installing of ROM's until he feels more comfortable.

There is no need to point out or flame the OP on how much or little experience they have. This is obviously an introductory question. My advice to the OP, read the Noob FAQ and do a lot of research before further modding your phone. Knowing what you are getting into helps a lot. Modding your phone is much more fun when you are better prepared :D.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj0121:
So I read the FAQ and the guide again so I figured it out and flashed a new rom! YAY! Thanks for the help guys!

[Desire General] foobar66:
Hi, I installed "GPS status". In this application it seems to be possible to download xtra.bin data. When i activate this option, I see the following in the logcat:

D/GpsLocationProvider( 95): NTP server returned: 1296577504085 (Tue Feb 01 17:25:04 GMT+01:00 2011) reference: 5561840 certainty: 24 system time offset: -22974

Then I searched on the phone and sdcard the file "xtra.bin", but it is not there. So my question is: does this program actually download that file or not - and if so - where is the file?
[Desire General] renegade027:
I've been wondering the same thing, actually. It just seems the download happens waay too fast. Yet, 'reset'/'download' AGPS data does seem to speed up GPS fixes for me.
[Desire General] YoYoost:
I used to do this manually on a TomTom.

You had to use a specific program to download some file for the right GPS unit. The file was pretty small so I think there is now "way too fast downloading" involved.

If the GPS fix is quicker then it works right?

BTW: I usually have a fix within 10-30 secs when I'm outside
[Desire General] foobar66:
After googling a little bit, my understanding is that the file xtra.bin is actually not downloaded to the file system, but directly inserted into the gps library.

That explains at least that you won't find it in the FS.

I have the following NAND ROM installed on my TMOUS HD2

DL Desire Z

v3.3 final (Jan 30)

by dandiest

* Rom type: NAND

* Version: v3.3 final

* Updated: 30 Jan 11, 03:10

* Base: Desire Z

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

i am searching for a videoplayer that plays HD movies and AVI, xvid etc..i tried rockplayer but the video turned out laggy and out of sync. Anyone have an idea of an good player that plays this kind of codec?

The.Simpsons.S22E11.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION

without lagg or out of sync problems

thanks

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mejorguille:
The.Simpsons.S22E11.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION

^Did you get that from the pirate bay? Shame on you.

Try an overclock it should help some. I stream 720p flash movies and they actually perform quite well at 1.516Mhz performance, but it does overheat after a while. If you are not rooted and OC is not an option, You might have to convert the file to 480X800 to get it to play smooth. Be warned though that this can take from 20 minutes to 6 hours depending on the speed of your computer, and results in image quality loss.

If you ever get out of sync issues, just jump back a few seconds and it will resync itself. For flash movies I usually resync it every 15 minutes or so.

anyway its to bad it cannot play 720p properly and i have no plans on rooting and oc
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] JackD3ath:
You can try Act 1, I have had it play a few formats the others wouldnt...I like Rockplayer, Vplayer not so much. Meridian is another good video player.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lazy361:
Try arcMedia
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] snopro21:
ya arc media is pretty good
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
If anyone is still looking for more video player choices, Vital Player seems pretty good. Either pretty new, or I just haven't found it before. Good interface, seems compatible with lots of my videos, and automatically selects software or hardware decoding based on the video (without having to select or toggle like Rock Player). I've seen some complaints in the Market reviews about the free version showing ads during video playback. But I haven't seen this. I have AdFree running, so it seems to be doing its job. Also, Vital Player is not yet compatible with Gingerbread, so it doesn't work on CM7.

Since I've switched to CM7, its Rock Player for me. It plays almost everything I've thrown at it, without lag. vPlayer lagged like crazy for me on some videos. ArcMedia has lots of things I didn't like about the interface, and lagged on some WMV files.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] darkjuan:
I've been using the stock video player since day one when I got my G2. I play all my videos at 720P after converting to .mp4 using handbrake. No lag issues at all.

Tried to use root explorer, but after reboot the file appeared again in system apps..

Tried to use terminal emulator that comes with CM 6.1, but got error message "cannot remove , because the folder is not empty" - something like that...

The apps I want to remove are: Maps, Navigation,E-mail,Voice Search,Talk and some others....

By the way, what I shouldn't delete? I mean the apps that can make problems with the system....

Appreciate any suggestions.
[Legend General] marclh1992:
Most of those are Google apps so I wouldn't remove them in case you start getting non stop force close errors. If you wanted to remove the files, you would need to have AUFS. Search for it.

listen maybe you know what can be a problem with bluetooth in cm 6.1.

can't to connect to pc to send and receive files....

Also can't send files via bt to other phones....

Using windows 7 32 bit.

?

Maybe there is some radio update I should flash?
[Legend General] marclh1992:
I'm not really sure but are you using a bluetooth file transfer app?

I only use bluetooth on rare occasions to transfer apps to my Archos...
[Legend General] unzi200888:
no, no applacation used, just find pc with the device and try to send file to it or receive file from it.....

Right now, I think that when pairing the devices it said that it gonna find and downlaod drivers for this bluetooth device(htc legend), but it didn't - i thing that it's a problem....

But I ca't also send files to other phones....it's strange...
[Legend General] hinks:
If U can't remove the apps from /system/app then you probably do not have S-OFF - what does recovery screen say? ..

I have the same issue here on my Legend since it is running hboot 1.01.. darn!

But anyway, you can use android kitchen to mod a ROM .. works nice :) Link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246
[Legend General] Rapier:
Why don't you use an easier method of getting rid of unwanted applications? You can use Titanium Backup, it has a nice exploit discovered by Paul O'Brien from Modaco (more details about it HERE, but if you have CM 6.1 already you are rooted and need only Titanium Back that is already included in CM 6.1 ROM as far as I remember). You just have to go to the apps list, long press on it and from the popup select last option to remove the application.

For BT transfers, look in the Market after an application called Bluetooth File Transfer.
[Legend General] unzi200888:
wow,

thanks a lot man...

About bt - bt transfer didn't help... :(

In stock 2.2 it worked fine without any program....

Hi Guys and girls,

Before we start I do have E-bay and have 100% Track record so if i were to sell at any time of me being here on Xda.com, You can buy

With knowing i am a honest and reliable trader.

Long story cut short, I have a htc desire hd ( In sig ) And A Samsung galaxy S Being delivered on thursday. ( Phone upgrade )

Now the dilemma i am facing is this;

What phone do i keep, DHD OR SGS?

What Phone is More Future proof?

If i were to sell one ( Which i am debating on doing so as Really low on cash atm ..) What one should i sell.

Thanks for reading guys,

The end result and pro's and con's of the answers will help me decided on what phone to keep and Possibly sell the other one here.
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
I would keep the DHD. Better phone in my opinion but mostly because HTC have a better track record of after sales care. Both devices have good community support so that's a tick for both.

EDIT: Might be worth adding a poll to guage opinion.

[General Questions and Answers] Highriser:
Go for the Galaxy S

The Desire HD is a GREAT phone, but the Samsung Galaxy S is the fastest phone on the market at the moment. It has a great interface, and may be one of the first phones to update to 2.3, although maybe not in the US, as very few of the Galaxy S phones have Official 2.2, but they each have either custom roms or official leaks.

I use the Samsung Fascinate with 2.2.1 Official Leak and its great. I love it and will buy the next Generation of Galaxy S.

I like keeping my phones (I'm OCD that way, lol) but I had to sell one, I would sell the one I wasn't going to use as my phone.

You might also want to test each phone out to see which phone is better for you. I like phones that are fast and slim, I like Touchwiz, but I love HTC Sense. But I am willing to sacrifice having sense for the toggles on top of the Notification bar (Wifi, GPS, etc.)
