HTC Droid Eris :: Cannot Stand HTC App
Jan 8, 2010
I know I've asked a lot of questions about getting the stock Android apps and keyboards, etc. But I am very concerned as it may mean taking back my Eris.
For some reason, I just cannot stand the HTC apps. For example, the Messaging app, the black notification bar and different battery icon, the Mail app, etc. They just look cheap or something. I don't use Sense UI, I have it set to Default Home. I don't really like HTC's keyboard as much as the stock Android one either. I bought the Eris because of the price, and how much lighter and thinner it is and how much better it looks than the Motorola Droid. However, I would really love to know if we can get the stock Android look and feel, for example the stock Android keyboard, stock notification bar color, stock messaging app, after the 2.0/2.1 update or after it is rooted. It just looks so much more dark and rich. I don't like white color schemes like in the HTC messaging app. (And don't say use Handcent because I don't like it either and I don't want to replace any apps.) Is it possible to just install the stock Android OS after it is rooted?

Long before the EVO came out I had already been wishing my Eris had something like this.

So I am traveling to UK next week for business.Is there a way to use the GPS stand alone?I wanted to use the APP Sporty Pal but when I turn off the radio the app just spins and has "Initializing GPS" and then times out. I have tried to do this with WiFi connect also to see if it needed something data wise to get started but same results.Any ideas or other apps that track your runs that can use GPS only?

I'm still a noob droid owner so maybe I just don't get it but here are some things that drive me nuts with the contacts interface.please note* I have (2) gmail email accounts, and a facebook account.
1. some of my contacts say they have "profiles" linked. so I tap the profiles and it will say for example "google: bob, google: bob, phone contacts: bob" why? I don't want anything linked. I feel like I don't have any control over my contacts.
2. I noticed that my fiance is a contact "julia" and then today I noticed another contact with her full name and a picture. so I ctapped that to investigate and it was her facebook info and email. where the heck did that come from? why on earth would I want more than one option for her as a contact?I am really lost. I mean REALLY lost. it took me a while to figure out how to make contact groups, so that I can organize some of my professional contacts but the rest of this is killing me. I created a new professional contact which happens to be a pest control guy. I chose to create a new contact. I entered his name and phone number, also email address. then I saved it. then when I looked at it somehow it had 3 linked profiles like what I was saying in point #1 above. what the heck?Why can't I just have a contact list period. and the only thing in this contact list are contacts which were entered into the phone by me. for each contact, I have the option to store their many numbers, email, etc. so when I tap on contacts, I get a contacts list and not a thousand people some of which are duplicates, some of which are emails I've responded to in gmail who I never talk to like customerservice@whateverbusiness.com.I'm mystified. can someone explain to me that either I am confused or this system is over complicated?

My Droid was in its leather carrying case in my backpack for about an hour while I was at the gym. When I pulled it out it was hot. Not warm, but hot. I couldn't stand to hold it against my ear to make a call.
When I pulled up the battery usage it did not appear to be anything out of the ordinary. The keyboard was locked when I pulled it out of the case so that eliminates errant keypresses opening up a bunch of apps and making calls while it was in there.

I know about camel case rules, but I'm confused with this m rule. What does it stand for? I'm a php developer, "we" use first letters of variables as indication of type, like 'b' for boolean, 'i' for integer and so on.
Is 'm' a java thing? Does it stand for mobile? mixed?

I saw many sample codes that each variable contains the 'm' prefix. I don't know what this m means. I have two-year experience in MFC. Each variable has 'm' prefix to tell you that I'm the one variable of MFC component. (m stands for MFC). can anybody answer me this question?

i'm looking for a stand alone contact manager app that will allow me to import contacts and map custom fields from our CRM database. depending on the user, their database can be anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand contacts. in an effort to keep things clean (business vs. personal), i'd like to keep these out of the built in contact manager.

My HTC Desire gets stuck when it trips into standby mode. When I press the unlock key, the bottom hard keys light up but the screen stays black. I have to do a battery pull whenever it happens. Done a factory reset but nothing helped.

Okay so I've tried a few different Calendar apps, and they all seem to link to either Google, or the stock Calendar. Is there an app out there that has all the functions of one of these, reoccurring events, Colored event bars etc, BUT does not link to either the stock or Google, or any other type. I'm not happy with the way this linking system works, but I DO need a calendar with event tabs for my work rota, holidays, pay days etc.

Had my Evo in Stand-by mode. It turned itself on (unknowingly to me) and my battery became extremely hot. Had to remove battery. Thought it was going to burst in flames. Waited awhile, replaced battery and so far no problem. What should I do?

Is there such a thing as an EVO stand alone antivirus application? Is it recommended to run your PC's antivirus on the EVO while it's plugged in as an additional hard drive? It'll only see the SD card's content right?

I have downloaded the full Android source code & pulled out the contact source into a different folder. I am trying to create a separate Contacts "stand alone" App using the existing android contacts source code, once that done I intend to add some more features (code) to contacts source & make a contacts.apk out of it. Is it possible? The problem I faced was, when I pulled the contacts app source code, there were many internal api calls & Private api references. I tried to resolve them by including those internal api source code & class files (available from the android source code) in my project, but there are still many errors & internal api calls, which I am not sure how to resolve them like:
import android.os.ServiceManager android.provider.Gmail android.provider.Im android.provider.Telephony acquireProvider(Uri) deleteRow() lookupProviderNameFromId(int) ISyncAdapter IContentProvider etc.
Is there a way to solve these internal API issue? Was there anyone who has successfully extended any of the existing apps (Contacts, Alaram, calendar.) of android with the help of its source code, is this approach possible? I tried to include the "framework_immediates classes.jar" in the project, but due to duplicate class files present in the project & SDK it throws the ususal - UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: class file already added com/android/ internal/telephony/callerInfosync. I have been trying to achieve this for the past 2 days, with not much success. Can somebody lead me to a correct direction?

I currently have widget for my app Hire*A*Droid bundled with the main application. I would like to unbundle the widget and release it as a separate offering. However - the widget is relying on Activities from the main app so I need to navigate between these two mainly calling particular Activity of the main app from the widget. So the basic idea - app can work without widget and the widget becomes the "add-on" option.
What is the "right" way to call app activities from the stand-alone widget? Do I convert the main app into a content provider? Can you point me to any code samples perhaps?
P.S. I'm not asking how to call Activities from the widget that is bundled in the same APK. The question specifically states that widget is distributed separately from the app it's calling

Has anyone had any luck with aftermarket power supply's. I'd like a car/ac charger or a stand alone power pack. I usually use my DEXIM. but it does not work with the Behold 2. I've tried a car charger/battery unit by Wireless Gear that said it was compatible with all Samsung phones, it came with 5 power tips and a USB outlet that still would not work, even using the OEM USB cable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will go with OEM Samsung if necessary, but there selection is limited.
