However, wandering around here and asking a lot of stupid questions and getting most answered with a great deal of patience has led me to wonder: 1) Can you get scrolling calendars other than the Sense one, without rooting? (I can't find any - I like the CalWidget big one, but it wont scroll). 2) Can you do anything to the main appearance other than change the background, without rooting? I've seen talk about the app 'OpenHome' - but on the market it's marked with low stars as buggy. 3) On 2 - can you remove the names from below the icons? Change the icons (e.g. with a theme) - without putting things into folders? 4) Can you remove options without rooting? E.g. my photo sharing (I've returned to the basic app, as gallery had a few bugs, e.g. with the camera) has 12 options to share (I had more, but I uninstalled different twitter apps and got rid of a few - I still have two facebook shares, peep and tridroid etc), which means scrolling through to find. On the gallery app, which had no scroll for sharing options, some were pushed off the screen. Is there a way to limit it just to the ones I'd use?

I can download weather / clock skins, but when i click apply it doesn't seem to apply them. I am stuck with the default skin, even though i have downloaded and installed several other skins. I have tried deleting and re-adding the widget, but it still is stuck with the default skin.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I just got a new Verizon Android by LG and it came with no manual. I mean there was something, but it was so basic, that it was practically useless. I kind of learned how to move around things and how to make it work, so now I have some concept how to work with my phone. However, there are some things I cannot figure out.
Is there a manual how to navigate and customize the appearance of the OS?
For now I have two simple questions:
1. There is a system bar with some icons on the top of the home screen. On the left there are three icons:
(a) one red with a white person in it,
(b) one with a sheet of bent paper going into something, and
(c) one I don't get and which came up right now - red phone handle and a white arrow bouncing of it. And the last one is puzzling me, because it just came up.
Is there a manual that explains all that?
Another thing - I am getting beeps every once a while, telling me that something is happening. I look - sometimes it's a missed call, sometimes a notification on Facebook, sometimes a new message, and sometimes it is something I have no clue where to find it. I really need a manual. Badly! Plus the phone goes black and locks after one second all the time, even when I am still not done with things, and makes me have to unlock it too often. Is there any complete and comprehensive manual that really teaches me how to use and customize the system?
I want to edit the appearance of a radio group, or the radio buttons within the group.As standard, you get a radio button, with what I assume is a TextView alongside it containing the text to be displayed. I want to somehow override this to be a WebView.

I like how the icons are a different color and such. The dialer and internet icons are at the bottom too. Dunno if it is rooted or not. Is this just some basic widget app or something?

I swear I've read about people setting theres to only do it every couple of hours or so to help with battery life but I can't find anything for this. The only thing I've managed to find is an option to set it to only sync over WiFi. Forgive me if this has already been asked but I couldn't find any answers to this dilemma.Oh and also, what exactly is considered "Background Data"? There's an option for enabling/disabling it and I wondered what the term encompasses.

It might sound stupid and it probably is but it would be nice if I could change it, I haven't found any options about it in the settings except for the drop down menu weather text color. I'm talking about this:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that changing the background color of an android widget (f.ex. Button or TextView) by program:
myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
makes it to loose its 3D shape, border, and shadows effects, and then appears like a ugly flat square. What am I missing?
Sorry for the very naive question but I couldn't get it right although tried for a time.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got to thinking and I realized that I change my layout each week, sometimes more then once in a week. I don't just mean add an icon or widget, i mean change icon appearances with BetterCut, rearrange icons/widgets...add/remove the amount of screens, change background images and lockscreens.....you get the point. so with that being said, how often do you change your eris layout???
View 6 Replies View RelatedFrom the standard home screen on the X10, when you drag your finger across to the left to open the screen to the right of the home page, is there any functionality to change the order and position of apps/widgets I have added.
The reason I ask is because when I add them, they are not aligned to each other and have been positioned pretty haphazardly, plus I'd like to be able to determine myself where each icon is placed.
When I first picked up this phone, the 2nd to last (6th) screen had default "Shortcuts" screen with Google search, Wiki etc in large beautiful icons that took up 1/4 the screen each.
I accidentally 'cleared' this home screen, yet when I attempt to put back icons for shortcuts, they're all tiny computer icons. Is there a way I can revert this screen back to original large shortcut icons?
