Obviously lol
What's the name of it?

search the marketplace for vnc, look for whatever icon you think he was using, looks like the 'remote' app.
maybe it isn't a app on the marketplace, who knows. did you try to message him on youtube and just ask?

Adding custom ringtone to a contact?

For the life of me I can't figure out how to add a custom ringtone to a contact. It was easy to do with my Nexus 1. Is it even possible with the Atrix without a separate app?

Open Contacts list->long press contact->View->Menu Key->Edit->Additional Info->Call Handling->Ringtone

Ringtone does that as well.

Also, if you already have your own ringtones that you want to add you will need to copy paste the files to the ringtones folder located in file manager--> Internal phone storage.

Ringdroid is awesome

Gallery

Anyone have any idea how to keep Album and Ebook Covers from showing up in the gallery. Want it to be just my photos etc from cam and downloads but they all show up there in all different folders?

Find where those pictures are stored. Go in that folder and make a new folder call .nomedia

Thanks

Just touch and hold the "offending" file and an option menu will pop up where you can select "Exclude" - done.

I use a great little free app called quickpic which allows you to chose which folders are listed and it loads up large galleries nice and quick.

personally i find the default Gallery app pretty rubbish, it only refreshes content on a reboot for example.
i try and avoid using it as much as possible.

Yes, thats a nice little one.. I just loaded it and it has the exclude in it..
also allows you to backup to the root directry that the offending files are hanging out under..
i.e Books\nonfiction\files.. thus no need to do it individually..
it also works in well with the Picture framer I am using as a widget on one of my home screens..
where I have setup client files for previews.. now I think I just about got the perfect setup for it as a portable
casestudy showcase..so to recap on that..
ESfile explorer - to setup directory links as folders on a home screen
Picture framer to allow 4 large pictures on any one home screen - thus a quick tap takes you in to that themed directry
Quickpic - to run as the main viewer and slideshow engine..

Very sorry but forgot to tell you that I was using Quickpic rather than Gallery.
Quickpic is excellent.

Please Guide :)

Guys i know this might sound dumb but can someone please tell me how do you integrate photos in the system of the phone?
As in i have a few images of another phone which i want to feed it in the phone itself (SO THAT IT DOES NOT APPEAR IN GALARY)
Like the default phone wallpapers. (Where you set a wallpaper from WALLPAPERS and not GALLERY)
And also same with the apps (Such as i want a dictionary to be in the phone even after formatting, i have the apk file but)
Hope you understand what i mean.
Thanks

You already knew the answer buddy. The wallpapers are in System APK. Just like that the dictionary is in Keyboard APK.
BTW, you can ask whatever you want in this dedicated thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886

You can put them anywhere. As long as you make a .nomedia folder in the folder you store them they won't be in the gallery.

No sorry. The no media thing is just to prevent it from being in the gallery. I don't know what the default location is but the previous poster stated it's in the system apk. You would havo to repack that with your own wallpapers to make it work I guess.

The user will have to remove it as the default launcher. Then you can call finish in the Activity.

Hm, ok.
One thing that came to my mind: Does it install itself as a device administrator? That might do what you want.
