I would love to see a pocket Quicken type application that fully syncs with the desktop application using wifi. It is the only app I have not found an equivalent coming from WM.
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Well from what iv'e read so far (i love google) Quicken are pretty much calling it a day . But some good news is that they appear to have merged with mint.com who do infact have an app out http://www.mint.com/features/android/ I don't know if this will do what you need it to or even if it's close to what you want but might be worth a browse around for you :)

I just purchased Titanium Backup Pro and I cant find it in my app drawer.

I have a (T-Mobile) Nexus One running Cyanogen CM7 nighties:

Android version: 2.3.2

Baseband version: 32.50.0032U_5.12.00.08

Kernel Version: 2.6.37-cyanogenmod-01117-g3687213 shade(at)toxygene#1

Mod version:CyanogenMod-7-02042011-NIGHTLY-N1

Build number: GRH78C

I know my phone is unlocked and that I have SuperUser but now I am wondering if I am rooted. (I am a techie but a newb with Android hackery).

I Googled "how to tell if your Android phone is rooted" and found a link telling me to go open a terminal session (Terminal Emulator on my N1) and type the following:

At the $ prompt type su <enter>

should return a prompt now of

#

now enter cd /data/app-private

if you can do all that then you are rooted

I did this and my result was:

#

Does this mean I am rooted?

When I check MyApps in the Market, TBP shows as installed. When I click on the TBP icon, The Open button is grayed out but the Uninstall button is available. Also, when I go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, I see TBP as an entry with a size of 76.00KB. When I click on TBP, The only buttons I can use are Uninstall and Move to SD card

I have rebooted the phone and I still can't find a way to open it.

Is there some secret nerdy step that I am missing or are all of you just going to rant about how unexperienced users should not be messing with their phones.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi All, and thanks for the nub help.

My wife decided to store all of her contacts on her phone instead of using her google account. Now I'd like to flash a new rom, but I cannot think of a way to backup those contacts. I'd gladly go through each one and convert it to a google-stored contact, but there seems to be no obvious way to do that.

Is there a way to backup and restore these contacts? Or to move them go google?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
Theres an option when you are viewing your contacts screen to import/export to SD card. When in the contacts list just hit menu I think and youll see the option. It will create a file on your SD card and after you flash your new rom you will be able to import them back into the phone. Hope this helps. If you have any questions dont hesitate!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You should be able to do it. Open the dialer, then tab over to contacts, push menu, and then push "export to SD card." That will move them. Now you can flash your rom, and once you get it set, go back to the dialer, contact, then import from SD card, and you should be all set.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadm424:
you could download Lookout from the market and it will back up ALL your contacts just make an account i love this app it allows you to locate your phone if you lost it and it scans your apps for viruses
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oatkiller:

Thanks for the help everyone. I forgot to mention that the Export to SD Card feature was crashing with a software error. That being said, I managed to use My Backup to backup the contacts.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post. I have spent the last 2 hours looking for an answer to this. What is the easiest and best way to edit xml files to change font color in the theme i am working on. I cannot find a method that works. I have tried a few of the big name xml editors out there and they wont even open the files. I would like to be able to open and edit them on my computer. I used 7zip to pull the individual xml's i wanna exit out and into their own folder. Now i just need a way to edit them, then use 7zip to put them back into the Framework.res apk. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
i wondered this too as i was learning how to theme, first you have to decompile the .apk i was advised to use notepad++ on windows, use apktool located in your tools folder of sdk to decompile and then open your xmls in notepad++ then after you're done editing use the command window to use apktool build > the directory of ur decompiled .apk
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
This is the best advice. I just started using apktool myself.
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
You can't just pull them with 7zip, you have to decompile the apk the xml files are in and then you can simply use notepad++ or any xml editor to edit them.

Use APK Manager to decompile and recompile.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
You can also use apkmanager. This makes editing xml's and any images a breeze...

[Droid X General] jeftep:
Apkmanager ended up being my favorite method. But use version 4.8, I had issues with 4.9 not compiling apk's properly.

Apkmanager lets you pull apk's, extract, compile, zipalign, sign, and push them back to your device.
[Droid X General] willjohnson:
I have been trying the apk manager and have not been able to get it to work. I pull the framework-res.apk from my theme with 7zip. Then put in the folder for modding in the manager folder. Then decompile. Edit in the projects folder as per instructions for apk manager. Then when i am done i recompile, sign and put into the theme again with 7zip. I get an error everytime with recompiling it, but it lets me continue to the end anyway, so i tried it out and it made my phone bootloop on install. So i had to sbf and start over. I get the same errors everytime, has to do with the .9 patch files i think. Too many errors to list in other words.
[Droid X General] kirbnite:
Read the log file. All the pngs with problems that have issues are listed at the beginning. Also, if there are extra pngs that are not used by the framework then remove them.

Tip. Open the log.txt clear it and save. When done and you get it to compile, don't sign it (its a system apk and does not require it. Then after it is successfully compiled. Unzip it, delete the meta folder and android.manifest file.

Copy the meta folder and android.maifest from the original apk and drop them into the newly compiled apk, and then tada...

Working framework.

FYI: The pngs with issues, just decompile the original framework and use those same pngs to correct your .9.pngs. (.9.pngs use the border for formatting, so duplicate the border in the ones you goofed up).
[Milestone XT720 General] psirage:
Hi all,

Still using stock 2.1.

I tried to install the new JIT this morning, along with moving some of the apps in /data/app into /system/app to save space.

I also clear davlik cache before rebooting.

When I root, I also set to unroot at reboot. (dumb move, I know...)

Now, my phone force closes at boot up with zeam (my default launcher). I also see "Auto Memory manager (process com.lim.android.automemman) force close.

I don't have root access, but I do have adb access sometimes. I want to uninstall zeam, but for some reason, I don't even have access to /data/app. I get

"opendir failed, Permission denied"

I can do "ls" for /system/app, but not /data/app. I am hoping I don't have to wipe/reflash, but if I have to, what rom should I use for Wind Mobile in Canada?

Thanks in advance.

Its a Home replacement app. Its called ADW EX. It replaces your Home screen and u can customize it any way u want. And I'm also using Honeycomb Clock. Its in the market.

The rom I use is Salvage Rom.

Its Gingerbread based.

[EVO 4G General] SONIC589:
What are your adw ex settings? A little more info on your setup would be appreciated! Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] apheonixboy:
Ok. Well you start off by making ADW EX your default launcher. Then go to ADW settings. From there you go to the second set of settings called "UI settings". Here are my settings:

* Main dock - None

* Desktop columns - 7

* Desktop rows - 7

* Hide status bar

* animation effect - 2

That's basically all the settings I changed.

Now go to the market and download:

* Honeycomb Clock Free

* Minimalistic text

* Adw gingerbread icon pack/ADW green icon pack

* Glass widgets

Now you're ready to set up your home page.

You start off with nothing on your page. Them you hold the screen to add a widget. Choose the following Widgets:

* Honey comb clock

* Glass Widgets

You might have to add the 3 glass Widgets that come with the download if you want.

Now, turn your phone into landscape mode and try to resize the Widgets as neatly as you can. Not too big or not too small.

You can resize a widget by holding it and then pressing Edit.

When you're done adding the Widgets, go to your app drawer and select a few apps you want for your homescreen.

I only chose 3:

Phone

Music

Xda

Those are my only apps on the screen.

Now, here is the hard part.

If you want the "apps | +" icon on the corner, you need to make it with the app called Minimalistic text.

You press the screen to add a widget and then you select minimalistic text 1x1.

Then you go to the settings and change the following:

* Unchecked the background so it can be transperant.

* on the Layout section, click on Custom...

Then go back and chose "Custom Layout"

Here you will hold the little boxes one at a time and drag them down untill you see a trash can. You delete all three untilled there is no box to choose.

One your boxes are deleted, press the little green circle to add a box.

Now look at the grey section and click on Misc .

One you click Misc, look for Static text and hold it until you can drag it up back to the space where u once had 3 boxes. Now click on Static Text and a window will pop up where u will enter this:

Apps | +

Once you do that, press ok and go back to the Minimalistic text settings.

Now look for the Text Style and choose "non-accented".

Here you will choose the font color and size:

Sans-Serif

Bold

18 dip

* Now choose color of choice and go back and save.

That is now your icon widget.

Last thing is to go to Google to look for aa Honeycomb wallpaper.

Look for one and customize your homescreen to whatever u want :).

If you want to make the "apps" icon to open your app drawer, go to the mmarket and download "advanced app drawer"

Now go to your home and tap on the "apps | +" and you will see a menu.

Go all the way down until you see

"Start another activity"

Check the box and the go to "select activity"

Now look for Advanced app drawer and choose it. Noe save and exit.

Now when u click on "apps | +", your app drawer will open.

If you need help, pm me :)

Guys, I'm debating to get a G tab for reading and get rid of all my text books. I read a lot of articles in PDF format like medical journals and also online text books. Just wondering if current users feel that 7 in screen is adequate and comfortable for that or should I be better off with a larger screen?
[Galaxy Tab General] projectdownset:
Super easy to read on as long as your books are available. Im a grad student in history and only found 2 books this semester for my tab, out of 21. I also use a lot of pdf files from our library. The pdf file reads much better than on my macbook.
[Galaxy Tab General] RADroid:
I do use my tab to read on...occasionally. I'd advise to get zoom 10 inch tablet though. The tab is a little cramped and if your text books have graphics you'll get a little more viewing area.
[Galaxy Tab General] mrgrey1701:
I read plenty on my Tab, both ebooks and PDFs and have never had a problem. Best gadget ever. :-D
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
Reading books was one of the primary reasons for getting my tab. I couldn't see carrying a smartphone and a e-book reader and an iPod Touch and a camera all the time.

When my semi-smartphone started going online to the web by itself I decided to replace it with a Galaxy S. But I had to wait till the end of my contract. As that date got closer and closer the Tab appeared and my semi-smartphone decided it wanted to start charging me for porno that I didn't download. So I looked at the S and the Tab and realized I read more books than I got phone calls. So the Tab it was!!

[Galaxy Tab General] Bugman1:
USB will charge the tab. However charge time is much longer due to lower USB power output.
[Galaxy Tab General] MentalDeath:
When I go to Menu>Settings>About Tab> Status it says it isn't charging when it is connected to my laptop and the battery icon has the lightning bolt charging symbol but has an 'x' next to it so I assumed it was telling me the truth. BTW what clock widget is that in the OP picture?
[Galaxy Tab General] Bailen:
While that is the USB spec for devices that are intended to use USB for data, occasionally you run into devices that will trickle charge off a 500mA connection but require a higher amp connection, usually provided by a specific wall wart plug, to rapid charge. The iPad had a similar function/issue if I'm not mistaken.
[Galaxy Tab General] Githrog:
The galaxy tab charges just fine through usb connection on a pc or laptop, if ur doesn't u have two things to check, first are u using a usb2.0 or higher port and is your device set for usb storage file transfer, u can check in settings while connected to a pc or laptop, I charge my tab almost everyday using my pc as I transfer a lot of files daily, I don't even notice a difference in charge times compared to charging via an electrical outlet.
