[Q] Group Texting - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone found a way to get the sidekick 4g group texting to work on another android device. Or a way to make it think your device is a sidekick 4g without actually getting a rom port ?

Lol I asked the same thing there was no answer

Hancent sms app does batch mode. Where you can text more than one person with the same text at the same time.

That's not why I want group text. I know I can send out group messages but I want to be able to hold that conversation in one thread. Not with responses back from others in their own thread. Cause then I would have to remember what the group text I sent before was about. If you get what I'm saying.

You can download the app in the market. http://market.android.com/details?id=com.zipwhip.zipgroups.sidekick but then if you try to open the app, its going to ask for an update that will search in the market but it will say not found.

Handcent does this too. You can have it be seperate thread for each person or have everyones text all in one thread when replied too.

Swype beta invitation

Got an email this morning and just now getting to read it... for being invited to the Swype beta program. Looking forward to using it once again it really is a nice app.
I'd like to share it with you guys in the xda community, is there anything I need to do besides attach the apk file? If there is please tell me so I can make it work to share this. Figured I should try and help out since xda has done so much for me

Currently using the new swype keyboard and I love it, it looks like they added a mic button so we don't have to. Decent layout and size of letters on the keyboard. So far all is good looking forward to sharing this.

We're currently not allowed to distribute Swype on XDA. Its considered warez, and XDA doesn't want to get in trouble for having warez on its site.

Saw my daughter user it on her Droid. Doesn't seem like something that would come easy to this old man.
lame is there a way I can put it up somewhere else to share or is that still bad. I noticed that there is an installer and the actual app as two seperate apk files maybe I can find a way to get the one for just the keyboard
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
In order to use it you have to authenticate. I am not sure posting an apk will work. I could be wrong.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I understand you are trying to be a nice person but there are a couple problems with your statement:
1) Yes like spatton has mentioned, because of users like you, the folk over at swype had to implement a security check in order to prevent leaked .apk's and they have to cracked before you can use it on another device.
2) You just got an invitiation to a private beta program, and most likely agreed to terms stating that you would not share the application. If I were somebody at swype, I'd probably revoke your invitation.
3) XDA rules forbid posting any swype .apk's as of right now, because it would be considered pirated.

I'm sure you could probably host it on like 4shared or something. I'm not sure if the apk for the keyboard will work for other phones, cause I'm not sure if its registered to a unique device or not.

Successfully change sprint banner?

Has any one successfully changed the sprint banner? I have tried it with cdma workshop but I only have free version so it wouldn't let me. Is there a work around to do it maybe? A dialer menu or maybe though adb our a terminal emulator? Just looking got some feed back, any help is appreciated.

Mine doesn't say sprint on the lock screen....stock 2.1.
It does say sprint on the notification shade.
screenshots are always helpful
He's using a vanilla lock screen that's why it says Sprint. The stock tap lock does not. All of ACS themes change Sprint to the name of the theme. You have to decompile the framework in apk manager and edit a file called strings.xml located in res/layout
Look for a line called zz roaming text and change Sprint to whatever you want.

I still have probs recompiling the framework res after editing the strings.xml. I've made sure not to do any png replacements/edits beforehand. It seems to get caught up during the recompile when it pauses and creates the "keep" folder, and tells me to remove the resources file if I've made an xml edit.
Do you usually get this step when doing this?

It said in the email that it would install as a separate app rather than overwriting the old version.

Definitely faster. Has a smaller footprint memory wise as well.
Anyone mode it to the SD card? Does it run as smoothly on the card?
I still have the delay when trying to select a button. :/
I like it better its faster I'm definitely keeping this one

I guess you missed the other 10 threads on this. No, you can't update on custom ROM but that will not stop the notification.

I understood you, you weren't actually asking what to do about it, just that it was strange you got it all. I had the same understanding as you regarding being rooted and custom, I'm on (or was until last night) Legendary 2.2. Actually having been off the forums for awhile it was the first I had heard of EL30, when I woke up and had the same notification as your screenshot. Incidentally, freezing system updates with both TB and Rom Toolbox did not remedy the situation. Rather than research further I took it as an opportunity to jump over to CM7 and see what all the hype is about....
Thought you could use some positive feedback
