Can anyone edit or teach me how to edit the mms.apk that i have attached? I'm having three problems here, namely:
1. An option in settings to remove the contact pictures in All Threads menu and in Conversation menu
2. An option in settings to change the smiley button to "return" button (next line) in keyboard
3. A bug (well, for me) that when i open a conversation and press the back button, the all threads menu goes back to the very top, meaning i have to scroll again >.<
This Mms.apk looks like the Mms of CyanogenMod
Thanks :victory:

getting rid of icons on your home screen
Here's a cool one I just learned. Hold and press the icon you want to get rid of. you'll feel a short vibrate. after the vibration you can move the icon around or delete it by dragging it to the little gray trashcan that appears at the bottom of the page. This won't delete the program, just the icon.
Great tips! Where do you get this information? I would like to
access even more information.
Also, how do you shut down particular programs running in the
background? Thanks.

I see mention of renaming folders but I can't even figure out how to make a folder. Anyone know how?

The easiest way is to:
1. On home screen press and hold
2. when the menu pops up select "shortcur"
3. select the first option "folder"
4. done.
To rename the folder (only cause I didn't understand the first post):
1. open the folder
2. press and hold the top bar of the open folder, otherwise known as the 'dock'
3. type in name and change it.
4. Done.

Create a folder on your memory card names 'ringtones' and place your .mp3's in there.
First, unplug your phone from the USB port, then edit a contact. You should see your new ringtones in the list.
Save pictures from messages?
This possible? I can't figure it out?

I guess I should say that I am trying to change the name of the shortcut icon, not a folder- wasnt really thinking it mattered but it must
Only folders can be renamed

I don't think there is a way to change the name of a shortcut once it's made. Also I think only Any Cut gives you a choice about the name at all.

Download anycut and you can rename any app shortcut as well.
While using the web browser, double tap the trackball rapidly to zoom out with a magnified area. Press again to zoom into that area
music?
When doing the ringtones memory card trick, will the ringtones stay out of the music list? For example
, in the music player app... I am hoping that ringtones will stay out of the music app. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Hi all,
1. How do you copy & paste certain text with Android?
2. How do you take note? or you just have to use Voice Recorder?
I'm quite disappointed with the Legend/Android for its basic functions of making call; taking note while making call; copy & paste; Sending contact by SMS (have to send via MMS).
It's funny that I've been so comfortable with winmo & laughing at the Iphone's inferior features.
Now the iphone users can laugh at me!!!
just my 2cent
1. You just hold the finger over the text you want to select, then copy it or use the small thingys to select more text. Easy as pie!
If you hold over a word and get a popup you can search the word on google, wikipedia and translate the word/sentence.
For notes you can download a notepad application from market free, there is several to pick from.
---
there is an application on market thats named "note pad" or search for "andronotes".
This is a simple app to make notes and e-mail them.
if you want to take a note during a call, just press the "home" button and open the application, just as you would do on winmo.
----
and in apps not inside sense, you can just press and hold on the text and "select text". then use the triangle or the scrollwheel/optical scroll to select the word and then press and copy/cut.

Hi jmkhenka, in my messages, if I press my finger on any word, it auto highlights the whole message & gives me the Message options. There's no Copy. The only thing closest to copy the message is Forward.
In Winmo, during a call, I only have to pull out the Stylus & the Note will pop up to let me take note.
I will look into that app that you recommend.
Thanks for your time jmkhenka.
This notes app also looks very nice:

Don't scream at me!
I have searched, but I can't seem to find this anywhere?
On my HTC Desire, when I have the default browser open and press menu and choose more, the top item is Home
On the SGS, under default browser settings, I have set my Home Page no problem, but when I choose menu and more, there is no "Home" option on the list?
As far as i can see, you press Menu button (while in browser) then New Window but it keeps the old window open as well so you need to close that with the 'Windows' button (in Menu)
I've only had mine a few days so there may be a quicker way but that does work
Thanks for that stickfinger
I had been doing the same and assumed I was missing something really obvious, but it appears not??
hey everyone, been a long time well i got rid of my MT3G got and HD2 despised it now i got this. this may have been posted about somewhere but i couldent find it so i apologize if it is.
i installed chomp sms and i was wondering if there was a way to replace the scok messageing button on the lil menu bar deal with the chomp sms shortcut. i do have root access.
thank yall
1. Open your Applications launcher
2. Tap the Menu button and select View Type->Customizable Grid
3. Tap the Menu button again and select Edit
4. Drag the ChompSMS icon over the Messaging icon. You should see a "swapping" animation as the icons rearrange themselves.
I am trying to get this to be a sticky, for this very reason. Good question, but its been answered a lot:

Hey, if youre running a custom ROM, and want to use the on-screen buttons, having your capacitive buttons still functioning the same can be pretty redundant, so I came up with a way to remap them to open any app that you choose. All that is required is Tasker and root access.
First off, what you need: Tasker, Root, and a text-editing program
Get your keylayout file. There are multiple ways to do this, but since all phones use different names for them, its best to just open up an app like Root Explorer and move to the file itself, and then copy and paste it. The files name is synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl, so if youd prefer to adb pull it, its located inside the /system/usr/keylayout folder.
Edit your button IDs. After getting your .kl file, open it with a regular text editor, and find the keys that you want to change. For mine, I used the home and back keys. Locate where they are; it wont be hard as the keys have their actions next to them, and change one key to CAMERA, and the other the SEARCH.
Map button actions in Tasker. Finally, open Tasker (turn off Beginners view in settings), and hit New > Event > Hardware > and then your button of choice. You can either select the Camera button first, or the Search button. Inside the Event screen, set the priority to Highest, and if youre editing the Camera button, check the Stop Event button. Create a new task in the profile for your button, and create a new action. After, click App > Load app, and then select which application you would like to launch on that button. Do the same thing for the Search button, but you have to long press the search button to access it, as regularly clicking it will open Google Now.
Hope this helps anyone with hardware keys that wanted to switch over to the nav buttons.
