If I disable the google talk and google mail, will I cause myself any problems. Just to clarify. I use IM+ for my MSN chat and I use my own pop3 server for mail which is working very well on my Hero. If I get rid of gmail is it going to be a problem? I am trying to get rid of any un-necessary rubbish from startup.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI was good with the leak, but then i experienced a few hardware problems and had to get a replacement eris. Well, now i am rooting this beasty, tryin to overclock it. The guides have been helpful and clear on getting to this point, but now i am stuck of the multiple roms out there, very few of them actually list what's available. I wanted as few as possible of the stock apps (peep, amazon, footprints, all that garbage gone), overclock, 5-7 screens, and for it to do my taxes, change my timing belt, and book flights for me all at once, but can't seem to find out. Right now i've got home, senseui, and nexus launcher loaded up on here, using senseui cause that's what i am used to. Nexus launcher seems to be well a resource hog that this phone cant handle without overclocking.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to the forum but I've read up on some past threads that touched on my topic but I never really found a straight answer. I'm hoping this thread will help, but in my experiences with technology...We may never get a straight answer/ solution. I've followed some threads on the "low on space" icon. I've gone through and deleted lots unused apps and I've cleared many of my caches.
While deleting apps i noticed that more then half of the apps on my eris are apps that i haven't downloaded and/or came pre-loaded on the phone. I understand that some are essential to the functioning of the phone (like being able to sync with your pc, download apps, etc). But i've noticed apps like "footprints" and the amazon "mp3 store" that I really have no use for. While managing apps there is no option to delete or get rid of these apps...is there a way to safely do so? or do i really have to live with having very few apps on my phone? (because i really don't have many that I have actually downloaded myself) Sorry for the lengthy post...i want to answer as many questions as i know how before i start getting responses.
I have a stock froyo 2.2 on my device with no o2 operator logo thanks to the debranding batch file on xda developers, it's also got root. This seems quite stable and hasn't displayed the random crashing that happens on almost any ROM that I've tried. What's the closest ROM to stock but with a lot of the unnecessary apps removed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedTo those sick of seeing the AT&T apps but don't want to root. I bring you a solution! Launcherpro has recently received an update that allows you to hide apps in the apps-drawer. This will allow you to pretend the AT&T apps no longer exist without forcing you to root the phone.

New to Android. I always used a app called Magicall on my WM device. I want to be able to block specific contacts, unknown number or anonymous numbers and also specific contacts for SMS. I can see I have the option to send a contact direct to voicemail but don't have the same facility for unknown/anonymous callers and nothing to block SMS. Any recommendations for an app that works with 2.1? (I'm using a HTC Desire)

Or like a windows task manager prevent them from starting up on restart?
Being new to the Android, I was wondering if there is a program out there that will close your application permanently once you're finished with it? I know Task Killer is out there, and use it quite frequently, but I'm noticing that when I get out of DroidLive, Google Maps, etc. they stay running in the back ground and the phone will start to get sluggish.
Also on Bootup the phone boots Facebook and Google Maps. Any way to disable this?
Several apps on my epic are always on. After I end them using atk if I wait say 10 minutes they start again. Not all are bloatware some are apps I use from time to time but I don't want them to run all the time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am facing a very mysterious Problem. I am using a ListView with CheckBoxes that can be clicked to select people. The row layout is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <CheckBox android:focusable="false" android:onClick="onSelectPerson" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_marginRight="5dip" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/person_name" android:text="test" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:textSize="18dip" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"/> </LinearLayout>
As long as the amount of rows doesen't exceed the screen size (-> no scrolling) everything works just fine. But as soon as I have more rows then the screen size (-> some rows are hidden and have to be scrolled to). I have a very mysterious phenomenon: If I check the top row and scroll down some of the previously hidden rows are randomly checked too. If I scroll up again, again some of the before hidden rows are randomly vhecked (the CheckBox I clicked in first place may or may not still be checked). Also the registered onSelectPerson callback is only called for the CheckBoxes I really click. The other CheckBoxes just change their state to "checked" without calling the callback method. I have the same phenomenom on the Archos IT 5 and the Nexus One. This must have something to do with the ListView implementation but I can't quite figure out what the problem is.

Okay so with my code below for adding custom look to my tabs (works great), yet I am getting a border (padding or some sort of crop I assume) around my drawable image. How and where do I remedy this?
Activity:
TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();
Drawable mySelector = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tabselector);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator("TAB 1" , mySelector).setContent(R.id.textview1));
partial tabselecter XML:
<selector
android:id="@+id/myselector"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Non focused states -->
<item
android:state_focused="false"

<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_selected="true"
android:state_pressed="false"

View 6 Replies View RelatedI cannot play my mp3s without one or two songs repeating over and over, before going to a new song, then the player goes back to the same repeated ones. I noticed that extra files are being created continuously in the mp3 folder. Even if I make a play list the player still manages to go back to these invader files. Is that a micro sd card or android issue. I first notice it after I install ics on my SGS I9000. Now I am JB (I9300OXADLI8).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI use my EVO 4G for business and my number is posted on my business website. Unfortunately, I get numerous calls, often with recorded messages, from people trying to sell me something for which I am not interested. On my old, non-HTC phone I would just add the unwanted incoming number to a contact called ?Delete? and set the ring for that contact to silent. The EVO 4G does not permit dozens of numbers to be added to a single number. If anyone has a better solution to tag a number as unwanted and not ring I would love to hear about it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, a few weeks ago, after having continuous problems with my phone (it kept giving me a storage capacity full warning, even though I had deleted most of my apps and all my text messages and the phone storage info on the phone said I had plenty of storage) I figured maybe I had too many pictures in my phone. I had about 375. I had never downloaded them to my computer before. So we went ahead and downloaded my photos. Too my suprise there were numerous images that came up on my computer, presumably from my phone, that were not in my pictures. Some were obviously from websites (pics of yahoo mail and such) but pics from what I would assume were from a website that I had never seen, ie. a resturant I had never been to, and a few questionable websites if you know what I mean. Nobody else has access to my phone. Where did these images come from? Was it a virus, or something attached to another website, or what??
