NVM. I found it. Took forever to find the right TARs and what not.. now I have to find a way to go from DI18 to DK28.. OTA update doesnt seem to work.. and warning out there, ViperTrinity Rom is slow and laggy.. Trying to watch Hulu is unwatchable and also a simple app like Tom the Talking Cat does not work well.. Laggy as a mother!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamchocho:
Why dk28? You should just go to eb13 anyway, laggy buggy issues are at least somewhat if not entirely because of dk28, it was a very buggy leak. Now that eb13 is out go to that, throw on a custom kernel if nothing else and you should be in much better shape.

I believe ptfdmedic's newest midnight rom has flashable zips to restore whatever stock sprint apps you might want. Ill see if I can find you links to all you'd need.

Edit: you should be able to use this and odin strait to eb13 froyo stock pre-rooted: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209

Still looking to see where it was that I found the sprint apps flashable zip that could be used if you went to a custom rom but wanted nav back.

Edit2: ptfdmedic does have a sprint apps edify zip on his site http://lostandtired.com/ under the android development section which I assume these work with EB13 if you were to go to a custom rom with them removed.

The ROM that I was actually thinking of was ecooce's new frankenstein rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982415 He has zips with all the removed apps so you can add back what you need.
[Atrix 4G General] TheCritic:
So I just got my Atrix from ATT, coming from WinMo 6.5 (Tilt2), and am a bit lost.

There used to be guides and such for people upgrading, but I've hopped on the train so late I'm having trouble finding a good one!

So feel free to point me towards better resources or useful threads on here especially from the perspective of WinMo to modern Android.

But for now, first question: what is the best way sync Outlook and my new phone?? I've got Outlook 2010 and have been building an address book in it since my MPx220! I know I could export/import a .csv but am far more interested in actual sync, with contacts and calendar at the minimum. Preferably free, but if not OK (as long as it works). So far I've tried MyPhoneExplorer but it can't see the phone via USB. Trying www.soocial.com now, looks interesting...
[Atrix 4G General] TheCritic:
Is it ever gonna finish inspecting my 16GB card? Can't find a progress indicator anywhere...
[Atrix 4G General] fincan:
I know it's not helping but just wanted to say that I'm exactly in the same boat with you. I used Windows Mobile since around 2004 (with mpx 220, tilt, and tilt2) and I'm kind of clueless about this whole android thing :)

Oh and I could not find a way to directly sync my outlook contacts with atrix either. Also, if you go with the .csv route, it does not sync some fields, for example Work2 phone.
[Atrix 4G General] TheCritic:
Def. try www.soocial.com It's free (as long as you're less than 250 contacts) and it's *ongoing* Sync like we're used to.

Goofy thing is, Google is said to make a calendar sync (outlook --> google), why don't they have their own for contacts??
[Atrix 4G General] TheCritic:
Well, so far I'm a touch underwhelmed. Coming from the WinMo world I'm used to many things being customizable, often in the program, if not maybe in the registry or easily swapped out for other software.

I'm noticing a lot of dumb choices and a lot of things that don't give me obvious options.

Let's call it a Universal Inbox but it won't have your Gmail! There's a way around, you setup instead as regular IMAP email and use that app or end up using both email apps... grr! Better 3rd party alternative?

No 'file as' in contacts or ability to customize much of anything about how it looks, what it shows...

Friggin 'security lock timer' setting is disabled when using fingerprint!

Oh, and scanning my SD card *never finished*! After a couple hours (during which I couldn't install anything from the marketplace--though it gave me NO error to let me know why it was ignoring me pressing install!) I yanked the card. Maybe if I clear it out first?

Of course it's much (MUCH) better than my POS Tilt2, but I'm not quite convinced it's worth it, yet.
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
Your card scanning issue is not normal. IT STINKS! Something from the school of the united nations
[Atrix 4G General] fabrijack:
I came from windows also. Companion Link is the only software to give you a true live sync between outlook and google calender and contacts that I have found. It wasn't free but I don't remember how much. It syncs your desktop outlook to your online google account which is automatically synced to your device.
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
For the contacts things you can always setup your gmail account as an exchange account in outlook and sync it that way, but then again it would be the same as syncing with gmail itself.

As for an outlook sync that isn't third party, there is no way to do it other than having an exchange account.
[Atrix 4G General] fincan:
I found and downloaded a program called My Phone Explorer, it says it can sync outlook contacts & calendars if you install it's companion software to your PC. I did not have a chance to try it out yet, I'll update this thread once I try it.

Also, did you guys find out how to set custom ring tones? Like copying wav, mp3, ogg etc. files from my old phone to this and make them show up on the ringtone selections?
[Atrix 4G General] TheCritic:
It had been in my Tilt 2 and had about 10gig of various files, some WM6.5 stuff (.cabs, apps, etc) and media. I formatted it and put back in the phone (couldn't do anything with it while it was scanning) and it was fine.

Marketplace didn't actually do anything when I hit install until the card was happy.
[Atrix 4G General] TheCritic:
So far I'm pretty impressed with Android but not so much with this phone. The combination of not-latest OS with updates being locked to ATT/Moto's discretion worries me as the Tilt2 I'm coming from was absolutely crippled by the crap ATT OS version available (though at least it wasn't impossible to flash it!).

My other big problem is that while this phone is supposedly lightning fast, but how does that make any difference in actual use, since this dual-core CPU and nVidia chipset are a small part of a big and diverse market, for which the Nexus S and all the similar Samsungs set the baseline? Example, I noticed I can't play at decent framerate a 720p h.264 media file (.torrent downloaded Top Gear, 1.5GB on class 6 microSD), even in QQview--which can't seem to access the SD card directly (it only sees the ~11GB internal which is called SDcard), by the way. So what good does this extra speed do if there are no apps to take advantage of it? And how many others are going to have troubles accessing my new 32GB microSD because they only see the internal?

I'm also fairly annoyed by the lack of customization in the settings. At worst every damn thing in WinMo was customizable via registry. I usually find a setting each day in Android which I should have easy control over but don't. Example: notifications being the same volume for texts/emails as BS systems sounds I haven't figured any way to turn off... again a missing setting that's almost there: I noticed within text messaging and email I can set specific sounds (including silent) but for the overall system one there's no silent option (which would be overridden by the selected ones above)... Maybe there's some apps that do some of what I want, but having to pay or sideload are both kinda foreign concepts to me, especially for small system hacks!

But on the other hand it's very responsive, does seem to play 720p Xvid torrent downloads OK (though I haven't watched one all the way through), and the voice features are great.

One other annoyance is that while BT links to my car automagically it doesn't link to my Panasonic handsets at home unless I turn BT off and back on for some reason...

So given how much I paid (premiere, non-contract) I'm leaning towards return. Wish the damn ATT-bands Nexus S was out!!

[EVO 4G General] craig198:
the stock evo camcorder app audio is crap as everyone knows. CM7 fixes this. I dont want to upgrade to CM7 as I dont want broken epst codes, gps, and whatever else might be broken.

Is there a way to get the CM7 camcorder app on stock evo? or is this apples and oranges from a coding standpoint?
[EVO 4G General] craig198:
ill take that deathly silence as a big no.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
There are other roms with the cm camera app, such as miui. I don't know if it has better audio or not though.
[EVO 4G General] craig198:
thanks guys. not worth flashing cm7 because I know sprint will not let us down and skip updating evo to 2.3
[EVO 4G General] goodbye hppalm:
Yeah that would be decent the audio is somewhat horrible on playback, not a big deal but Love to video my friends band live

Hi,

My current DPI is 140 and I don't plan on changing that cause I love it.

I noticed several apps (the one that determined me to post this is WSOP: Hold'Em Legends) don't scale up to fullscreen. It stays at 1/4 of the screen and it is too small.

What can I do to be able to play these games full-screen?

Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
I haven't found anything to fix the problems apps yet. I've run across several apps and games that are scaled wrong. I think its more of the way developers are building them.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] richiegopal:
i'am right now using dutty's rom(wm) and cyanogen mod7 android on my sd card.but i want to go for the nand android roms.i've read the instructions thread.i had been very usefull,but i have a small confusion whether if magldr formats my phone memory,so that i can have a clean install of nand rom?

because for flashing wm roms we use task29 to clean the phone memory and install the new rom.but i haven't read anything abt formating the phone memory in the instructions thread for nand android for newbies.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
You can still use Task29 to format the NAND memory. It'll wipe MAGLDR but that's as easy as flashing it again from the RUU. So basically, MAGLDR will wipe over your WM ROM. I'm not too sure about if it formats the NAND area but I'd presume it would as it would want a clean install.

But flashing a ROM from MAGLDR/CWM won't simply format the NAND. You have to use Task29 as usual. Then installing MAGLDR and CWM takes like 5 mins. It's not needed too often on MAGLDR but it's recommended for a clean install but most definetly not needed every new ROM flash. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] richiegopal:
so better to go with the following order for a clean install,

1)task 29

2)magldr

3)flash rom

do i have to flash a radio after flashing the android rom as well,like we do it for window's roms?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PoisonWolf:
That's a personal choice depending on your coverage. Just be sure the version flashed is compatible with your HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] richiegopal:
@ poisonwolf,u didn't answer my question.do i have to flash a radio after flashing the android rom as well,like we do it for window's roms?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
You don't have to, as long as you already have a XX.X.50 radio, but if you are getting poor coverage/signal or poor battery life then you can, then give it awhile and see if it improves.

But a .50 radio is all that's really required for running Android, if you have that, you dont absolutely have to flash a radio

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
No you don't have to. But it's recommended to have the 2.15.50.XX radio. Just because it's the newest and that's what most people use. :)

And yeah you can do that now and again. I wouldn't bother do that before every ROM I flash, but every week or so just to keep it 'fresh'. :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Maclinr:
This problem has been bugging me for a while and i wondered if anybody could help me.

A little while ago i rooted my x8 2.1 and installed xrecovery. I backed up everything with xrecovery. A problem later arose with my phone so i did an advanced restore of a the data on my phone with xrecovery and now when downloading anything from the market, i get a download unsuccessful error.

Ive tried clearing the cache or various apps, (market, google aps, browser etc.)

Nothing works, i would like to avoid a factory restore if i can.

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
From my point of view , it has norhing to do with the restore and the other...

Check some other thinks...

-Try downloading from an other network to be sure that its your phone's problem.

-Check your phone and sd card free space...(no space to download)

-Check if you have the latest version of the market.
[XPERIA X8 General] Maclinr:
Thanks, ill check those later and get back to you, but im sure it cant be the network because it happens when im connected to wifi aswell
[XPERIA X8 General] cuecak:
if ur problem is.. market just "starting downloading " so.. do this..

dont know wats wrong,, but i try to reinstall the market,,

download it from here use root explorer to delete the original, and replace with this,, try restating your phone after done... and try again..

its work on me..
[XPERIA X8 General] Maclinr:
Thanks, if that doesnt work il get back to you
[XPERIA X8 General] Maclinr:
It didnt work!

when ever i click an app to download, it waits for about 20 seconds then on the notification bar it pops up with Download unsuccessful

Hi there,

I'm having two little issues with a theme that I'm trying to create:

The first one is this blue line under the "Contacts" separator. I changed framework-res.apk with these changes but the blue line remained. I also tried to edit twframework-res.apk but I didn't find any images related or reference in style.xml. I also tried to change all the "tw_tab" images and that also didn't work :(

The second issue is that when I edited framework-res.apk my contact groups headers stayed like this:

I also can't find where the gray / blue background is defined (or if it is an image).

Any help or suggestion is appreciated :)

Thanks in advance

What is everyone using? I really liked the launcher on CM6.X for my N1 but don't remember which one it was
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
i like Go launcher.
[Atrix 4G General] igothacked1:
CM generally uses adw as their home launcher.
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
+1

and Go is free.
[Atrix 4G General] Kueller:
I liked the hidden dock thing in adw so I've been using that. Also bumped my home screens to 6 rows x 5 columns, things seem to be spaced more normally with the high res screen that way...and it just plain lets me pack stuff on screen.

I will have to check out Go, I tried Launcher pro before ADW, just didn't care for the feel of it.
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
Launcher Pro Plus for me.
[Atrix 4G General] BBock9:
ADW ftw..love it and no lag like I experienced with launcher pro. Those are the only two I have tried so far so please, convince me otherwise. I like to try new gadgets/settings..
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Launcher Pro here. Been using it since day one and haven't had any lag. I just liked the feel over adw for some reason.
[Atrix 4G General] slayu:
+1. I feel ADW is a bit laggy. Although GO doesn't have many themes.
[Atrix 4G General] DarkRyoushii:
anyone tried Zeam Launcher? It's what I point my android rocking friends too when they say their home screens lag because its faster than ADW + performance tweaks.

anyone like Zeam?
[Atrix 4G General] apolloms:
installed adw and still had a super laggy dialer screen so i uninstalled it...i don't know what to do about this dialer screen....i think i might take my phone to ATT
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
Go Launcher Ex!

I tried both LaucherPro Plus (what I used on my N1) and ADW Ex, both had a lot of lag. Go Launcher Ex works just fine for me!

Get launcher pro and app orginizer awesome
[Atrix 4G General] eakackack:
I use launcher pro(free), last night I tried ADW(free) I really liked it, but I did run into a problem. I've had great battery life since I got the phone but when I tried ADW I really drained my battery, i'm talking down to 60% in like 3 hours. I uninstalled and went back to launcher pro, and no problems. anyone else experiencing battery drain with ADW?
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
This is only because ADW is fully open-source. I used to use ADW as I had used CM on my EVO and liked ADW, but having now tried LP I prefer it.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
ADW EX for me!
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
ADW I agree on, but I will never understand people who buy an Android phone, then want an iPhone theme so they can get Apple icons!

I dunno..............just buy an iPhone! That to me is like just sticking an Apple logo on your phone and pretending! Just sayin'! :eek:
[Atrix 4G General] Andrew149:
Launcher pro paid for me there's very little lag at all. All launchers have some lag pick the one that you like the best as in looks and functionality lp has Widgets and a lot of settings
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
I like Launcher Pro the best for now.

However with that said, I also like using all 3 (LP, ADW, & Go) with "Froyo Home Switcher".

That way I can really customize my phone on the fly, plus keep up with the others as they get updated or if I see a new skin that I really want to try for that particular launcher... :)

AND I MEAN

....what ever i do, what ever app I start, 2-5 mins later the phone freezes.

what sucks ever further is no matter that WP7 ROM I install, it refuses to boot past "GO, GO, GO"

I've tried task 29, different radios, still no gold
[HD2 General] simon_66:
To solve some heating you need to remove the SIM card. But whats a phone with no SIM right :p

The only way to fix it it to either doing it your self or send it to HTC and once you get it back, sell it.

I had the same problem, once I get it back ill sell it and buy an iPhone 4G. I love the HD2, but it freezes so much.

Call the repair service.
[HD2 General] pteradactyle:
still doesnt work, its pretty much dead now, wont even boot into winmo sometimes and cant do anything on it anymore...atleast i dont have to worry about getting rickroll'd cause it usually freezes after 5-7 seconds on most YouTube vids
[HD2 General] simon_66:
Do you still have warranty on your device?
[HD2 General] modex:
mine too

im having the same problem but it started after my HD2 fell on the ground facing the screen down.. after that my phone started freezin randomly and i have noticed that it get stuck when there is a little press from the back near battery pin and near SD card if i keep the phone without any press on above position it stays as long as it get pressed again :( is there anyone out there knw wht is happening to my phone
[HD2 General] hayyaan:
I have the same problem, what usually works for me is to pull out the battery and let it rest for around 2 minutes.

Then pop it back in and let it load the ROM. After the ROM loads.. wait at least 5 minutes before you do anything.. it usually holds on, but there's always the hang somewhere after wards

It is really frustrating.. any specific hardware fault, maybe I can fix it myself.
