1)How can I get a copy of the LG App "Notes", switching Market Places does not work b/c the app checks for the Device Manufacturer .. would like a hacked copy so i can use it please.
2) Running Anser New Tango ROM, search button came mapped to Pone app, how do i put it back the way it was?
I am not to sure about the LG App but here is how you can change the search key mapping;
"With registry editor navigate to key
[HKLM\Software\OEM\WebSearchOverride]
and change the value of
"ActionType"=3
to 6
This will set searchkey to Bing (default action)"
For the LG App, get the WPH Tweaks app. You can change your marketplace there, it works because I used it to change my marketplace to Nokia Collection.
Hope that helps!

I installed the Palm Messaging App that threads text messages just to see how it looked and wasnt really fond of it so I wanted to remove it. Well, It was unable to be fully uninstalled for whatever reason and now the hardkey for messaging doesn't list text messages, and the today plugin is still there and launches the Palm app.
Does anyone know a way to manually uninstall this, via registry or something?
Palm Messaging App
Worst case scenario ... which is what I've done many times in the past ... is physically delete the directory and all the files in it. Go into your Today settings and remove the app. You can try searching for the app name in the Registry and remove it manually (backup your registry first).
WARNING ... this is a last case scenario. Perhaps someone else has experience with this specific application. Perhaps you can list the application's full name and version. Maybe even where you got it from, in case someone else wants to play around with it and see if they can find a better way to remove it.
Good luck!
go to the buttos settings and change it.
This is my first Android phone so can you all please recommend some 'must have' apps I should download.
So far only got Locale & NetCounter, but I guess there are more useful apps out there I've not seen yet.
Astro which is a file manager I use on a daily basis to access sdcard.
Copilot gps but costs £25.99.
This is also my first android phone, but I have found the Metal Detector app to be fairly fun.
Also, you'll need the barcode scanner.

I recommend G-Backup - backs up SMS and MMS and Call log to folders in your Gmail (archived to the label SMS or MMS etc) so you can delete from fone but still keep track of them if you need to retrace stuff.

Thanks, will check out that thread.
locale (lets you set "situations" and have an "action" performed if the situation is triggered, so you can have it auto set to vibrate when you get to work, or dim the backlight at night, or change the ringtone when you get home, etc...)
shazam (lets you find the title & artist of a song just by holding your phone up to the speaker and "tagging" it, VERY cool)
scoreboardlets you set your favorite sports teams in your google acct., this is a official google app i believe, also lets you set up a widget that updates your fav. teams scores.
spare parts (lets you modify some settings that you cant normally, part of the development tree, not included with any OEM builds, but available as a free app on the marketplace)
*there are SO many i cant honestly add em all, do some playing and you'll Def. find some you like*
Another day with Android...more questions.
1. Can I stop Facebook birthdays from being placed in my calendar?
2. Can I prevent a contact picture from being replaced by a Facebook picture?
3. Can I store test versions of various Android versions on my SD card by simply renaming each folder to xyzAndroid, abcAndroid, etc and then renaming back to "Android" and running the 2 startup files in the renamed folder?
4. Are all Android settings stored in the Android folder? If I switch between versions, will I have to start from scratch setting things up?
5. Is there a good navigation app that allows for the creation of custom offline maps? In WM I use MapSnap, which allows me to use saved Google maps.
6. When Google maps newest update is released (rumored to have offline saved map capabilities) can it simply be installed to my phone or will the program need to be added to an updated Android version?
7. Is there a way to use synced Outlook Tasks in Android?
And on and on and on.... I'll stop for now.
Thanks in advance.

answer to problem no. 2
go to EDIT in a contact, click on their picture on the top left corner, and select the type of picture you want to use for that particular contact.

I have a question. The queistion is that can the android hotspot built-in feature can be extracted and be put into an apk from the hd2 and install it on the tp2 android?? just a noob question...I'm sorry if this question was asked before...
1. I use pure grid calender ($1.99), allows me to tweak small settings if I want
2. The above method works for me, don't know why it didn't work for you
3. Yes you can put a few android folders in your sd card, just only rename the one you need "Android" and make sure you check the settings in your android dual boot software on windows , if you are using any, because some need you to specify the folder which you want to boot, some just search for Haret, and boot from that folder
4.Yes, all the settings are in the android folder, and copying one build's data img won't work with the other, but use a paid or free software called titanium backup and you can usually get your setting back.
5. There is this modded version of Google maps by brut floating around, search around, allows offline map cache navigation
6. The current offline navigation currently works on Htc sense 2.2 available with the new new desire HD builds. Install one of the desire HD builds, maybe the one by m-deejay, you should get offline navigation

I installed MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.4_MDJ_S7.6HD and started to play around with it.
2. The correct pictures are showing so far in the new install.
6. Looked at the available mapping apps, Navigation, Maps, and Locations. Don't see that any of them store maps except Locations, which may only have US maps (none of Costa Rica, where I am). Is there somewhere in Navigation or Maps that will allow me to store maps? BTW, is there a way to delete the Locations maps? Lots of space being used.
Thanks.

Turns out I can just uncheck "Facebook" in the Calendar settings. BUT, that brings up another question: Under the settings for Calendar is "PC Sync". What does "PC Sync" sync with??
Thanks.

I got Swype to install but the rom wont let you select it
Right, you can't access the stock android settings page to enable it. Will likely need a custom rom before this can be done.
I dont have a fire yet so this is pure speculation....
Can you sideload a home screen replacement (like launcher pro) and have better access to the settings menus? Thus allowing ability to select swype?
I installed Go Launcher Ex, which worked for me, and I was unable to access any other settings other than the customized Kindle Settings.

Cool, well guess at least we know those work! Will have to wait for some devs to get other stuff working I guess (or learn ourselves).
Edit: And im guessing they disabled the function to where you can long press on a text entry field to change input methods?

There *is* a menu for input method that has only one entry, "Kindle Keyboard".

The kb has to be enabled in settings before it will show up in the input selection menu. Of course there is no way of doing that just yet

Ok, I totally forgot about that. Oh well...
I am getting my kindle fire tomorrow and I've been looking at how to enable other keyboards. See if you can manually edit the file where settings are store: /data/data/com.android.providers/settings/databases/settings.db using an sql editor look for the field "enabled_input_methods". Type in the proper info for the keyboard you are adding and see what happens. Root is required obviously. With any luck this might work.
Swype working just fine.

I got swype working last night after a few trials. Here's what I did (though I'm sure not all steps are necessary).
I of course first grabbed the swype APK from my ATTSGS2 and side loaded onto the fire (without root). I know you all said it wouldn't work, but this is just the way I troubleshoot issues.
Swype installed fine, but as you said I could not select it from the input options list (when you long click a text field it gives you the option to select input method).
Now, I haven't permanently rooted my fire. I quite like software updates, video, and security on my device. That said, I don't mind dabbling with the stock load a bit. I pushed zergRush out to /data/local and ran that to get a temporary root.
I then downloaded the settings.db as suggested above and used sqlite3 (included by default in Mac OS X) to edit the input methods list to add swype.
Here's a dump of the resulting field:
INSERT INTO "secure" VALUES(21,'enabled_input_methods','com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.swype.android.inputmethod/.SwypeInputMethod');
If you aren't comfortable editing an sqlite database file I'm not going to walk you through it, a mistake with that file could brick your kindle.
You'll see I added Swype to the stock LatinIME.
That did the trick. After a reboot (which by the way removes my temporary root). I could select Swype. Of course upon launching the swype keyboard I discovered I was missing the swype core library. After another zergRush and an install of the library which I also found on my ATTSGS2 I got swype launched!
Great the keyboard came up .. and .. "license failure". Damn, that's the first piece of android I've seen with license enforcement.
That's okay though, I knew swype corp (now a division of Nuance) somehow gives away copies of the software. I left settings.db as is but removed the swype apk and corelibs.
Then I headed over to the swype website, signed up for the beta, downloaded the swype installer -- which by the way I had to do from my ATTSGS2 because the swype website insisted my kindle was not running android.
I side loaded the installer onto the kindle (without root), ran the installer, and everything went in smooth. I didn't even have to go back into settings.db to change the default input method -- the installer seemed to do that for me.
I'm not sure if the settings.db changes were necessary at all in fact, and if not this would be a completely safe procedure with no root required.
Some feedback would be good. I'm sure everyone would love to use this workaround to get swype running, though for most of you you'd better not touch sqlite databases directly. Its my opinion if editing that file IS necessary, then you're probably better off waiting for ROM support. Though it would of course be a violation of copyright law to distribute a ROM with swype preinstalled. Beware developers who ignore copyright law, their missing scruples may extend to other areas of software development.
I imagine at some point in the future someone will release a .apk that can modify those settings but it's good to know the settings are there and functional, just obfuscated by amazon. Also there is an android market app that lets you edit the sql database more easily but definitely not for the faint of heart.

I looked quick in the market and couldn't find one. Do you know the name?
It would be much easier than adb shuffles back and forth.
It's not free but I think it's worth it, it's called "SQLite Editor"

They appear to be - just tried installing the swype beta without rooting yet and the new keyboard is not showing up.
I just used the same method to enable Swiftkey X (the non-tablet version). Works great!
My "enabled_input_methods" field is: "com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.touchtype.swiftkey/.KeyboardService"
Don't forget after uploading the modified settings.db back to the device to reset the owner ("chown system.system settings.db") and permissions ("chmod 660 settings.db") on the file. And as always, back up everything you change before you do it.
I'll post a step-by-step later if I'm not too busy.
i'll make a script tomorrow to change the enabled keyboard from stock to swype for y'all
you'll have to be rooted
I got my fire now and edited the db on the device using SQLite Editor and it worked after a reboot. I tested using Simeji (Japanese IME).
Swyping this on my kindle fire ;-). Thanks for the post! I had already kindle rooted and I happened to have the beta swype account, so for me it was much easier. all I had to do was to install swype installer from their beta web site and then use SQLlite editor to modify enabled_input_methods
Off topic: looking for decent home launcher to replace kindle's. Any suggestions. Tried the Go launcher but it isn't optimized for tablet
Can't you just move Swype to system/app and then the lib to system/lib, and reboot? You don't have to enable system keyboards

Hi, I've already posted this question in Q&A section, maybe it's a programming question...
I am looking for a way to modify hard key behavior to launch apps I chose. I have a USB keyboard connected, some keys are already mapped to Music, Video, Camera etc. I would like to be able to launch my own applications of my choice. It's not a phone, it's an Android run mediaplayer.
I have sort of solved this issue by running an .sh script from command line which gets keyboard events using getevent utility and then launches apps using am start command, but this method is slow! It takes 2-5 seconds to launch an app like that, whereas "soft-wired" hard keys work instantly.
Does anyone know which part of Android OS is responsible for this setting? There's gotta be a settings file or something. I can change hard key behavior by changing /system/usr/keylayout/*.kl files, but I cannot change the apps they launch. Only default audio player, camera, etc etc. I know it's not the launcher, because I can switch around launchers, but hard keys are the same.
Please! Someone's gotta know how it works? Is it compiled into the linux core?
