Database Users

Three New Widgets!

Hi there!
I just noticed that we got some new widgets.
We got note (which I was waiting for), quick record (one button record that works good and after recording gives you a notification) and today in history (wow, it's quite good and I loved it also gives information about event). And they are better than tip calculator and dice.
May the widgets be with you

Finally!
Notes!!!
And... The new Market version got a widget too?
But what does it do?

Yep, just got my Wildfire and was thinking of a note widget. Thanks for the heads up !

Yep, the new Version (2007) got a widget.
But it doesnt show anything to me.
Some Users say that it shows sponsored paid apps.

Yeah the market widget just shows an empty miniature of the market

Yup.

haha, custom rom ftw

Hello, i downloaded the "tip calculator" and when i went to see the permissions of the app it says that it have access to the following on the phone:
Your personal information.
Services that cost you money.(directly call phone numbers, send SMS messages)
Your messages.
Your location.
Network communication.
Your accounts.
Storage.
Phone calls.
Hardware controls. (record audio)
System tools.
Should i worry? xD

Nope, You can trust everything that comes from HTC/Google

[Q] Are there any apps to invert colors?

Hello.
I am rooted, using the stock rom.
Is there an app to invert colors on SMS, and say, Internet application?
Example: White letters, black background.

Don't know about stock but cyanogen roms has this feature built in.

Handcent SMS will let ya do that for your text

Thanks guys, I checked out both, tried CM7 a few weeks back, but was too glitchy on my phone, and things weren't working. I wil try it again in a few weeks after they have some more dev time.

Many messaging apps from the market let you customize the appearance or apply themes. I personally like GO SMS.

if you tried CM7 a few weeks ago and it was too glitchy for you, the latest CM7RC2 was dropped this week also TeamRoyal just dropped the latest version of RoyalGinger and they are both super stable and very quick TR:RG is definitely faster and so far more stable for me.

Wooooo! Thanks for the heads up on GO SMS, and also, thanks for the updates on the ROM's Raven, I am checking both out now!

Question... This is only a customization locally, right? I realize that fonts and other formatting would not appear in the recipient of sms, but with inverted text, I imagine there may be ways (and certainly using apps which are mutually installed) that the recip could get the sms inverted too....without the recipient needing to install anything.

There's Javascript for that
That problem appeared a long ago, and one guy made a javascript for doing this, inverting colors in a browser; no root needed, just add his page as a bookmark, and use it, whn you want
tonymuka.com/js (i am kinda new here; not allowed to post links, and stuff)
Also, I heard Boat browser have this function..

Help with CM7 discussion and tip sharing...noob-friendly!

Hi, I don't want to bog down the CM7 threads with noob questions. Now that our great DEVs have gotten WiMax working and Epic officially supported I thought I would try CM7 since I was already on MTD. I got it working pretty well but there are some things I miss from TW ROMs that maybe some of you have already got figured out or found an equivalent. I thought this might be a good thread to share tips.
First off the stock email app sucks, can't select to always show pictures so get K9 from the market.
So your long texts don't show up as gibberish make sure to select split sms and turn off split counter. Nightly 16 and up fixes long texts over wifi. Or use GoSMS and set to split long texts in settings.
If you want to record video and need the flash on I found Tjunks video camera in the Market has that option.
300 themes for Theme Changer in the following thread, our phone is HDPI:

Tortel1210 ported over several TW apps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452004
Had trouble getting Shootme to work so found another screen capture called Screenshot from the market.
Tazfanatic suggested I add the wiki (thanks Taz) for the Epic/CM7 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Epic_4G_CyanogenMod
Changelog: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=epicmtd
Please feel free to share other tips and tricks here. I want this thread to remain noob friendly so if someone asks a question that has been answered 100 times in the CM7 thread please just answer it nicely. Let's leave that thread to Development and bug fixes. Thank you my friends.

As for themes I always hate searching the market, but it is where I end up all the time. Sometimes a Google search makes it faster but not always. There is an app on the market that allows you to sort cm7 themes by price, but I wasn't a fan.
People have mentioned a paid 4g widget that works, but the toggle has been working since a couple nightlies ago. I'm on nightly 10 with shadow kernel and getting great performance and battery.

Have you tried K9 mail (free from market)? I dont use it anymore, but I found that to be the best email app for managing multiple accounts.

You guys are the best! Thanks for the great suggestions. Will get nightly 12 tonight and K9 and check out that theme listing. Will probably just end up modding framework-res myself...that still works on CM7 right? LOL.

Last time I looked at K9 I couldn't get over the ugliness of that app, and it wouldn't work with my email server either for work.

While I agree, it was ugly as hell, I was able look past that, seeing as it provided the functionality I needed. Interested in other options as well, paid or otherwise.

I have an idiot question to add, is the Epic 4G's screen mdpi or hdpi?
Matters because some of the themes are hdpi only.

Try Enhanced Email (although I admit I haven't used it with exchange - just to manage two gmail and one yahoo account). Has a widget with #of unread emails and a bunch of customization options (different colored icons appear on the status bar for each of the accounts). I liked this app much better than K9. It's paid but can be had for free on applanet (just not the newest version).

Speaking of noobish questions, here are two - how does one add a speedial and a one-touch search function to the stock CM7 dialer? Haven't figured out how to tie speedial #s to digits, so have been using Big Dialer App for this (but would prefer to stay stock as Big Dialer is ugly as hell). I also miss the TW ability to search through contacts by letter from the dialer screen - now have to hit contacts -> menu -> search which is pretty annoying. Any advice? Would prefer not flashing a theme.

You can search by letter on the dialer screen. Try it.

Its hdpi.. for some reason you still will get the theme chooser error "some elements are not compatible" blah blah blah
Side note from previous link I posted. Looks like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.list.tmobile.themes. Is a more convenient way of browsing these themes from your phone

Deca himself! (bowing down) thank you sir for all of your amazing work.
Yes, the T9 contacts search option works pretty well... needed to select search T9 in dialer preferences.
I found a thread with a way to implement speed dial without getting rid of stock CM7 dialer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369776
It's a market app. Unfortunately, it is either this speeddial app or the t9 contacts search option - T9 search has to be unchecked for it to work. There is no long-press function for this app, it is very no-frills. While it is not a make-or-break feature by any means, but it would be nice to have a long-press speed dial option baked in a future nightly (so it could coexist with T9 contacts search).

If you run multiple accounts in k9 like I do, go into account settings for each one. You can set it to show pics after clicking (default, yuck), only from contacts, or all, among many other settings you will want to personalize.

I hope we can keep this thread going so everyone can get CM7 setup the way they like.

I really like the idea of a thread like this as I don't want to be flamed for filling the cm7 thread with n00b Qs.. the epic has been my only smartphone.. so cm7 and non-touchwiz is still new to me..

Blinkfeed Content

Had my One for 2 days now and really like it, nice upgrade from my Galaxy nexus. One of the features I really like is Blinkfeed, great idea but the content is absolutely shocking!
Can anyone (preferably in the UK) confirm that there are only 12 sites to pull information from? I've also noticed that if for instance you check the smartphone category then you get feeds from Android Central etc but is there no way of selecting these individually?
Thanks

If Blinkfeed (crap name) is a proper RSS reader then there ought to be an OPML file somewhere or a Blinkfeed equivalent.
That's the file to edit to add whatever RSS sources you want, though whether Blinkfeed will render the content correctly is another matter.

I thought were more then 12 (in feeds/categories) on http://start.htc.com

Yeah i know about the categories part but for instance if I click on the gaming category it doesn't expend into a list or tell me where the content will come from but hey, this is new so I'm sure they will update but only being able to select 12 individual sites is a bit lame

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. Each individual piece of info is displayed on a separate tile if that's what you're talking about?

So if you look at the screen and there are 3 tiles on display can they all be from different sources and fir diffetenat catergories,Luke ones displays sports,one for news and one for social

Sense Updates in 4.2.2

Lets post up some updates we have found with the Sense 4.2.2 update.
Outside of the primarily known ones like the quick settings here is one great one I noticed.
App: Gallery
Change: Highlights
They revamped the song/style selection for the video highlights as well as added about 5 more. Very very happy with this update as I use this quite often

I'd like to know if you can link your ps3 controller via a usb-otg kabel after the update, as this was not supported on the 4.1.2 stock rom.

No, you are able to set (for example) bbc on program 3 if its 3 on your receiver/tv.
On 4.1.2 you are not able to customize the order of the programs

They also fixed the select content issue so stuff that you don't want in your zoe is actually not included anymore

Closed
There is already a 4.2.2 update thread. Please discuss that there. Having multiple threads makes forum very hard to follow.
