Two questions:
1.) How do you copy/paste on Aria?
2.) How can I save a picture off the Internet browser? (I currently have the default browser installed; if there's a better app I'll go for that.) I can save off texts and emails--double-tap to save--but internets is different.
Thanks y'all.
Copy/paste is done by a long press on the desired word/text box.

to clarify you can copy /paste in the text input box but you can't copy what others have sent you unless you first choose to forward the messege. then you can copy it just fine.
you can save pictures in opera mini browser
Roger that, thanks all. Still getting acquainted with all the features--and something that seems like a stupid question just isn't intuitive or the feature doesn't work on the Aria :/. Generally satisfied

So after rooting I got the HTC mod keyboard.
Now the problem is that I really like the android keyboard.
The only features that I miss on it are the suggestion of words that I have typed such as email addresses, ethnic names, etc. from the default keyboard. Also the HTC mod keyboard has a voice type button that I love very much.
Is there another keyboard that I can install that will do these 2 things and still look like the android keyboard?
I will happily use the HTC mod keyboard if it could suggest to me the emails and words that I have typed but I can't seem to find the option to enable it.
Help. Thank you.
In the Locale & Text section of Setttings, you can select the HTC_MOD IME section there. In here, you can find some different keyboard settings like Prediction, including email addresses and urls ( for some reason these aren't automatically enabled ).

I have that turned on but it only works for url bars. I wanted it so that I could enter my email address in the different log in screens for websites using one tap. So fat I have succeeded in getting the first half and the second half of the email saved as 2 separate words and i just join them by putting @ in between.
Edit: It also does not save words like "mackdaddy187" in the dictionary since it is not all letters. I use this name for all websites and it is hard trying to enter i one by one in each website.
Why don't you use Skyfire browser? It has the ability to remembe form information like usernames and passwords.

I know you're asking about Picasa sync issues, I don't know if they are saved on your sdcard but this may help:
Drop a .nomedia file in a folder and all media files become invisible to the gallery..
A .nomedia file is just an empty text file saved with no name and the extension .nomedia
You can make the file yourself, or just copy one of the many that are already on your card and paste the copy in whatever folder you want hidden from the gallery.
There was a bug last year that caused previously indexed media to be deleted if they were subsequently hidden. I'm pretty certain it's been fixed but you might want to test on a file you don't mind losing before you wipe out your entire porn collection
edit: I'm running CM7rc0 and it appears the bug has been fixed. It's an old bug, I would guess late versions of 2.2 are fixed also. I just tried this on some junk files, rebooted and they are still on my card but not in my gallery

OK
try to install go contacts.apk from the market, after installation finnish

OK
i like them, so i want to backup them, but when i try to backup, i find just the original apk i've installed from the market( go contacts.apk )
i hope i make it clear for u
You want to backup your original phone /contacts apps? They are in /system/app folder.
Go contacts and phone app will be in /data/app folder if you install it from market ( under the name com.jbapps.contact-1.apk )

It sounds like camera.apk
Usually I have 2 icons for it. The camera and the camcorder.
But on some ROMs, the camcorder icon disappears and it's just not there.
But if you use ADW I found a way to make the shortcut.
1. Long press the homescreen and select Custom shortcut
2. Click Pick your activity
3. Click Activity (second item - it has an ADW icon)
4. Scroll down to Go Contacts and expand it - there should be a list of activites that Go Contacts performs.
5. On the regular contacts.apk in CM6, I just made a phone shortcut by selecting Phone(Dialtacts.Activity)
If you scroll down to Settings, there are lots of shortcuts you can make.
I made one for Testing and Battery history (the one that spare parts accesses)
I believe what he wants is:
1) change the Go Contacts / Dialer with the stock app
2) be able to backup both Go Contacts / dialer
Like Zeppe said, Go contacts is one apk with 2 activities. So backing up one will back up both.
Now im not so sure about replacing this with stock contact / phone apk.
Will make a test later and let you know.

ok
1 app with 2 activities
can i backup ( 2 activities ) each one alone ?
thanx again
No dude. When you backup the apk you backing up it all. Depending on the app you are using for bkp, you might choose apk only or apk + data.

As the others have said, this one app will have two icons (one for Dialer, one for Contacts). They both open the same program, but display different screens. If you want to only show one icon, you can hide the other one by using a custom launcher like LauncherPro. The you can hide either of the icons and the program will still work normally.
i have a Desire HD running android 2.5.3 (Stock unbranded) and i have noticed that if i send a test message longer than 3 texts it converts the text to an MMS is there any way of extending this limit or removing it all together?
I was a bit frustrated with this when I first got my phone. That's the way the stock Messaging app works. Nothing you can do to change that. You'd be better off installing GO SMS Pro. It's an excellent app, much better than the stock one and has every possible feature you can think of in a messaging app. I've been using it since the beginning and the stock app is crap compared to it. You can send texts of any length.
Try it - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms
Click thanks if I've helped you.

i would tend to disagree that there is no way of changing the stock application as i have friends with the same handset and the same version of android but have operator customised version (orange) and they have no SMS to MMS conversion happen on long text messages and they dont have to use any 3rd party application.
Yeah of course that's possible, but it requires modifications to the code of the stock Messaging app. There's no mod which exists for that here, as far as I know, because most people don't care too much for the messaging app and usually use a good third party one like GO SMS Pro or Handcent. But if you want to stick to the stock one that bad, you could ask your friends with the Orange ROMs to extract the apk of the Messaging app (provided they're rooted), then root your phone and replace your stock HtcMessages.apk in /system/app with that, and change its permissions to rw--r--r using Root Explorer. Hopefully that works. Or you could search around here for a stock Orange ROM .zip, extract the apk from that and do the same procedure above. There's no other way I can think of.

first, i noticed something that was really important to me and that was that you cant copy past a part of an sms like you could with the gs3.
it sucks because it was something i always bragged about to iphone users who had to copy the entire sms. if you guys have any ideas on how to be able to just copy a part of the texts like a home address and stuff.
second, all share control isnt working anymore which i understand considering theyre pushing watchon, however watch on doesnt have a track pad feature that can control the mouse on the samsung tv that you need when browsing the web.
is there any other app that has that feature or an add-on for watch on that would add that feature?
thanks for the help
no one know?
does no one know of any substitutes for these features?
I use goSMS and you can only copy entire message too. Know it doesn't help but might save you from trying it.

you can use an ugly hack to copy parts of messages - tap and hold the message, pick "forward", then use the normal selection controls to select and copy the parts of text you want.
