I know that I'm not the only one who hates the fact that the focus doesn't have a notification LED. Is there an possible way the windows button can be programmed to light up for txt, emails, and such??? this would be super convenient.

Also, does anyone know of update for the Focus????

[General Questions and Answers] sunnyrox:
Hello everyone,

(This is about Video Calling on Android platform.)

I currently use the Nokia 5800XM, and have to change it this month itself. And the transition has to go from symbian to android.

I've come down to two phones, the Google Nexus S, or the HTC Desire Z. I really love the qwerty pad on the desire and the HTC UI.

But, I had almost narrowed it down to the Nexus, due to the front camera, Gb 2.3, the GPU, and the Amoled display, but I read somewhere(probably on wikipedia), that Android does not have a native app for video calling.

Does that mean that I cannot do any video calls to a phone number through the 3G network of the carrier ?? Coz when I searched google, I only found apps that did that over Wi-fi or 3G, but through the internet, and to an id, not on a number. For example, when I had to do it on the 5800, I just had to select the contact, click on call, and then video call. Is this possible on an Android device ?? I mean it should be !! (Probably this will make me go for the Desire)

What I'm asking basically is can we make video calls to phone numbers and not a user ID (coz if i use tango or skype or fing, the other person should also thave the same software installed) ??

Please Help !!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
Is this a new install of CM7? What Clockworkmod are you running? You need to be using 3.0.0.5.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
I had problems as well. Get the gapps from the link provided in the cm7 thread and choose the very top left one, the universal dpi one. First, flash cm onto your phone, and then once you have flashed and booted the rom, go back into recovery and flash the gapps package. You'll be good to go.

Ps, use the search feature.

EDIT - Update:

This is a non-discovery. Reports are that rotation is working for many people with NookieFroyo 0.6.7 (and later when they come?), out of the box. Not sure why it wasn't for me; but you will definitely want to test it and make sure you have Google Maps 5.1.0 or later... before proceeding with anything below.

I am using this on NookieFroyo... not sure if it works on Honeycomb or stock-rooted.

I took the same file I used to fix multitouch on Google Maps on my Nexus One and it worked!

You can find the file and instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880447&highlight=multitouch+distinct

Obviously 100% of credit to rori~ because I merely tried it on a different device and am reposting.

You will need a working ADB setup. Other than that it should be a straightforward push (I think a script is even included). I didn't try the update.zip method (the Nexus One partitions layout is different, so I wasn't sure it would work).

You may have to remount a different way than the included script says. This is what worked for me:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

It seems pretty good on mine; but I would suggest doing an ADB pull of the existing, original file so that you can push it back if this breaks anything. I can't provide support and I'm not responsible if this breaks anything. Good luck!

What does this do?

This actually enables independent multiple finger tracking within Android... a feature not enabled by default because hardware that does not fully support it will report input with a lot of glitches.

The best test to see if it is working is it allows you to rotate Google Maps by twisting two fingers, circularly, in opposite directions.

I am curious though, if this will make multi-touch keyboards more effective?

[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
Please try to do rotation before you apply this. Some people seem to say that the rotation is working out of the box... so I need some testers...

I tried pushing back the old permissions file that I had and it made rotation stop working; but I want to know how it goes for other please.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I know on my Eclair version, the rotation by default is not working; so i will be able to try this and see what i get.
[Nook Color Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Not sure about previous versions, but I'm running the internal CWM flashable nookie froyo and it has the multitouch distinct xml file already. For whatever reason I'm still unable to get either the two finger slide or the rotation to work in maps... but then I never had any luck with the nexus one version either.
[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
Have you checked Application Settings to make sure you are using Maps 5.1.0?
[Nook Color Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Good call. I had assumed that would include the latest maps and it wasn't showing up for me in the market due to the location services bit. I now have working rotation et al.

Hello :)

Recently I became a fan of quote apps. So I looked through them and most of them didn't even have widgets or didn't look that beautiful.

What I am thinking of is a widget that has the style of minimalistic text widget and displays quotes. (custom quotes would be best)

So I am just trying to find a widget that shows quotes as plain white text. Does something like that already exist?
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
Minimalist text already exists, lol. You do know that you can put in custom text and design it any way you want, right? Go to custom, scroll over to misc., drop a static text button into the field, click on button, input text, input size of text, back out, scroll down, change font/color/etc...
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
you can use Tasker to parse an online source of quotes and dynamically update a minimalistic text widget at a set interval.
[Android Apps and Games] imblacklife:
You could always try brilliant quotes.

https://market.android.com/details?id=lammar.quotes
[Android Apps and Games] ms_green:
I'm aware of the fact that minimalistic text widget already exists but not for quotes. I could enter static text, but then the quote would stay the same forever.

Brilliant quotes unfortunately crashes all the time on my phone...plus it doesn't support custom quotes.

I still need to have a look at tasker tough.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold_sprinter:
Hi guys,

I have browsed the forum and have tried several of the remedies here but still no luck. I have been running Darkyy's 9.0.2 rom for a few weeks now, with a 500hz- speedmod kernel (don't remember what flavour, but was flashed via CWM). It has been running great since I flashed.

The problem arose when I went into settings to simply change the lock screen. I selected another lockscreen and my phone rebooted. Then it gave me quite a few FC errors,so I decided to boot into recovery and 'restore' a previous save. Now my phone just shows the samsung logo and reboots.

I am able to get into download mode but not recovery. This will be the fourth time I have to send it away. Is there another option or is this still my only option?

Any thing specific I should try to flash.

If it helps I am on the BEll network (gt-i9000M)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simone201:
try to flash JPY base stock ROM with Odin......

try without repartition and pit (1 file PDA, no pit file from samfirmware.com)....

Then flash the latest speedmod kernel.....

Now it should work (maybe! XD)!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold_sprinter:
Thanks for your reply, I tried your suggestion but still the same problem. I also tried all of the suggestions on this link. I finally was able to get into the recovery console by flashing JPY (no part, no pit), then immediately flash JL2 (with bootloader, no flash, no pit) but I got the dreaded 'no such directory'...again. So I am SOL but have to take it back today.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simone201:
Did you tried flashing with 3 files + pit + repartition?

With this method it should work...

Remember: no bootloader update!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthV:
Did you ever upgrade to the official Bell JL2? If not, I'd probably do that through Odin and have it update the bootloader. I had gone from JH2 to different cooked roms and would always run into corruption/fc problems a week later. And eventually the phone would just not boot into the OS. The last time it happened, even flashing to another cooked ROM would not work. The official bell JL2 has an bootloader update that seemed to have fixed the issues I was having.

Booted official JL2 and remembered how much I hated lag ;) After that, flashed a 2e kernel through Odin then seeARM's cooked JL2 through clockwork. Been running that for 3 weeks now without any issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold_sprinter:
Hi Guys,

I should probably write down what I flash when I flash it. I honestly do not remember what I flashed. I went through all the threads I could find and tried everything. So to answer your question, I cannot say for sure if I did that or not. But I ended up sending the phone away. It was weird, I asked my fiance to take my phone in while I was at work. She called me later that day and told me that her phone did the same thing so she sent hers back the same day....weird.

[Legend General] alexhtclegend:
Right, this is gonna seem really stupid, but bear with me please! I installed Blayo's ROM a few weeks ago, and enabled A2SD. I've been using CM6.1 for a couple of days, but today I reverted back to Blayo's ROM using a backup I created in ROM Manager. Stupidly, I flashed Darktremor A2SD. I really don't know why I did this. All my apps (including the built in ones) no longer worked (no surprise there). I did a factory reset, and everything seemed fine at first. However, whenever I go to enable Blayo's A2SD it enables Darktremor instead, and I can't flash Clockworkmod recovery anymore! My phone is functional so it's not quite as bad as a total brick. I've reinstalled ROM Manager a couple of times, but this didn't fix it. I can't even get into recovery mode using the computer! :eek:

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Legend General] alexhtclegend:
*PS - can you unroot the HTC Legend without booting into recovery? If you can I'll use this as a last resort in a few days if all else fails as the main problem seems to be that I can't boot into recovery.
[Legend General] alexhtclegend:
OK, sorry everyone - I created this thread without thinking properly as I panicked at the thought of wrecking my phone. I hadn't realised you could boot into clockworkmod recovery using vol down + power, vol up + power etc, so I THINK my ROM is being restored from 2 days ago as I backed it up. Fingers crossed!!!

EDIT: Yep, I'm back on Blayo's ROM as I left it 2 days ago. Sorry for this pointless thread - I'll be more careful in the future though as this was a stupid thing to do!
[Droid 2 Global General] jjdavola:
I asked this in a couple other places, but haven't got any real answers, so let me ask the REAL experts. :)

So I rooted my D2G yesterday. I also did a Bootstrap backup, did a Titanium apk and data backup and even froze some of the bloatware. Now I'm thinking of getting a ROM and I believe Fission is the best and one of the few options for the D2G.

My n00b questions are:

1) Will Fission or any ROM have any affect on Exchange? Reason being, its a firm phone and my Outlook e-mail, contacts and calendar are 100% critical and if I can't access the Exchange servers, I'll stick to stock with frozen bloat.:p

2) What are the real benefits to a new ROM and what should I expect besides no bloatware? (e.g., will I need to reinstall a bunch of apps, will LauncherPro play nice with it, etc.?)

3) Are there any other good ROMs to consider with the D2G?

4) With the SBF out there and my backups, are there any concerns to reverse everything back to stock when I exchange my D2G? FYI I need to turn the phone back into my IT department to be used as a loaner, donated or thrown away.

5)Bonus question: Is there anything else I should do with my newly rooted phone?? FYI I have wireless tether, although I didn't fully try it out yet.

Thanks!

[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
1. As far as I know, exchange should work just fine so long as you install the exchange patch from fission rom manager. I have my .edu email working just fine.

2. Extended battery life, less lag, able to start fresh with vanilla android, easier to customize, etc.

3. The only good rom for the D2G atm is fission.

4. So long as you have the sbf, the necessary drivers installed on a windows computer and rsdlite, you should be able to revert back to stock no problem.

5. I personally like to overclock the processor while undervolting it to extend battery life further. You should also look at launcher replacement programs like launcher pro, they really beautify your phone :)
[Droid 2 Global General] jjdavola:
Thank you! Especially about the exchange patch information.

Do you really overclock a 1.2gHz processor? :eek: As far as battery life, I ALWAYS have an extra battery with me, but if I can get 18 hours on one battery with basically minimal use, I'll be happy as a clam. I don't need to break records, but it appears that even since only rooting it and freezing some bloatware, I might be in good shape.

BTW I have LauncherPro and love it (see the end of #2 in OP).

Thanks again!
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
I overclock mine to 1350MHz, but I undervolt it as well, I can get a little over three days on one charge, and I have an extra battery, so that's almost a week :)

I wouldn't suggest it though, the process is overly complex since there isn't an "official" way to do it.
[Droid 2 Global General] yzak47:
rusty , can u share your overclocking and undervolt setting??
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
On droid overclock, I have it set like this:

350mhz, 18mhz

800mhz, 40mhz

1200mhz, 60mhz

1350mhz, 67mhz

As you can see, to get the fsb clock, I basically get the non zero digits for the clock speed and halve it, at least that's the easiest way for me to set it up, I suppose you can undervolt it further, but I haven't found a need to

All Nokia's, right down from the dumbphones with monocolour screens upto the latest ones, support this. (i.e., you set an alarm, switch off the phone, then, the alarm rings at the scheduled time and asks whether you want to switch on your phone or not.)

[Ideos S7 General] tedkitch:
Due to the fact that I can't directly reply to the thread that was created because I don't have enough posts, I'm posting here looking for an answer.

I followed the advice in this post. The only difference is that I used Super Manager instead of Root Explorer to delete the files from /system/app/.

Here is the odd part, after finishing I rebooted and when I powered back up and checked my available memory, it didn't change at all. Naturally I went back in with Super Manager and checked for the files and they are not there. I also looked with Astro File Manager and the files were not in /system/app/. I don't understand that if I deleted the files, why didn't my available memory increase? That is the whole reason I removed.

Thanks,
[Ideos S7 General] goodoane:
Why do you need more space in system folder?...

Go in data folder and check dalvick and data folders for leftovers.
[Ideos S7 General] raduque:
Removing the so-called "bloatware" won't free up app storage space.

The tablet uses different partitions to store different things. System applications are stored on a different partition than user-installed apps. They each have their own space, indepentantly of each other.
[Ideos S7 General] tedkitch:
When I started this exercise in removing the "bloatware" from my S7, I had a little over 85 MB free from the 175 MB available. After removing the "bloatware" I didn't see a change. Over the weekend, I removed the battery from my S7 to check the version number. After starting the S7 again, I check the memory and I now have 101 MB free. The only change was to remove the "bloatware". After installing two more apps on the tablet and moving the .apk file to my Link2SD partition on the internal SD card, I now have 98.97 MB of available space.

For the other post about removing the cache, I just ran cachemate and now I have 105 MB of available space.

Removing the "bloatware" does have an effect on the available memory.

While I did restart my S7 after removing the "bloatware", I didn't remove the battery. I don't know what I had the difference, but by completely removing the battery I saw that I had more space available after removing the "bloatware".
