Hi guys, this is probably a retarded question but.. how can i go about putting my own icons on the side of my email accounts in the messaging program on my phone? I Know tmobile has the email plugin that gives your email an icon like Yahoo! and Aim but im not using the tmobile rom, im using the GREAT Htc rom version before the Rogers. I just want to use better icons rather than the stock ugly mail looking one that you get when you start a new make a new email account. Is there a folder with icons or a registry i can change to use my own custom icon? Thanks guys...
?????
Not one person knows an answer to this? Someone has to at least know, im sure its quite simple to figure out. I just need a little help. lolz
Custom Email Icon
I too am wondering how do to this.
I am guessing it'll have to be some change in the reg edit.
I believe I've checked on this in here and seem to find nothing.
Bueller, Bueller...
Here's the most related thread I could find. Fourth post down by limpmike. I might try exploring around this reg to see what I can modify...
what a retarded question. jk
i have no clue. let me poke around and see if i can find where thats located.
there's a way to do it, but for only one icon.... meaning you cannot have custom icons for every email account. there's only one master email icon for all email accounts you have. i messed with it a few months back and there doesn't seem to be a way to use custom icons for each and every email account you have. and btw... the changes ARE in the registry.

Everytime I put down a widget for friends or coworkers etc... It shows orange voicemail Icon, which I do not want on there.
Is there anyway to remove it, or is it the de-branding lark again?
Any Ideas?
No-one??? this is using the HTC people widget by the way!!!
Is there a way of dragging one of the people out of the widget, instead of binning the whole widget?
I think it might be to do with the type of number you have it stored as.
Go into people, then go to the contact and click menu. Then click more, then choose widget action and select if you want to view contact (i think this is the option causing you grief) call mobile, or new message.
To remove it from favourites on that widget you click the contact in people, then menu and edit, then untick favourites in the group box.
I had the same problem and the only way to remove it is to goldcard and load unbranded rom. Orange really murdered the desire with there crap, who comes up with this **** is what I want to know.
I think i may have solved it, if you fill up the contact board, then click the plus button, add a new contact and it should remove the icon!
Quick question... I've just switched back to Sense from CM6, and I'm wondering if I am losing my mind.
Am I right in saying that it is NOT POSSIBLE to edit calendar entries using HTC calendar? That seems unbelievable to me, but so far the only options I can see are to create an entry or delete. There is no "edit" option. I'm 99% certain that the AOSP calendar has this.
Can someone please confirm?
Thanks,
Matt_TX
EDIT: Even more bizarre... I CAN edit entries created on my Exchange Calendar, but I CANNOT edit entries created on my Google Calendars. So weird!
My edit option seems to depend on where the entry comes from. If I add something striaght to the calendar I can edit it as I please. If it's something that sync'ed from lets say Facebook then I can not edit it. My work exchange also syncs and it all depends on what the event is and if it's something I originally made or not. All in all I think it depends on the type of even it is but I will also be watching this thread to see if someone has a little more info they can chime in with.
This is really very strange...
I can add, edit and delete apppointments on my Exchange calendar - regardless of where the entry was orignally made - Phone, OWA or Outlook.
I can ONLY add or delete (NO EDIT) appointments on my Google calendar(s) - regardless of where the entry was originally made - Phone or Web.
Anyone know why this is the case? AOSP calendar works just fine... Is this a bug in Sense?
As above, I'm looking for a contacts widget that will work with 2.3.3. Does anyone know of any? I've tried a half dozen or so from the market but they either don't work, or don't work the way I want them to.
I'm just looking for a non-scrolling sense type one. I don't want to install any launchers or anything like that, I'm happy with the phone as it is in that respect, so I would rather have a static one.
The closest one to the mark was Contact Widget, it looked the part but was very buggy. It was meant to show 20 contacts at any one time but after I had selected the 20, it then only displayed 4 and pretty much froze. Not sure if that's a 2.3.3 issue or not.
Any recommendations?
If you want one that's non-scrolling, I would suggest not installing anything. Just add shortcuts to your contacts on the home screen. You can also put them into a folder if you so choose.

Thanks for that, 2 years I've been running android and didn't know that lol.
I eventually found and sorted out elixir which does the job nicely.
One thing I dearly wish for is for my notification windowshade to show me individual emails and text messages. I don't receive massive amounts of email/sms, maybe 50 a day in total. But if I don't immediately check my email or sms before another one comes in then all the windowshade does is tell me I have 2 new sms or 3 new emails. YOU DON'T SAY!! I knew that as soon as I turned the screen on cos of the icons on the notification bar.
Is there a way to have the OS separate out all the messages individually, so I can read the first few lines (just the way I can if I just have one message)?
Ideally I would also like a way to delete (not just dismiss) emails directly from the windowshade, without having to go into the GMail app. And no, I don't want to use a widget.
Any suggestions?
I'm still running Gingerbread, btw. I gave up on testing ICS roms a couple weeks ago (will probably just wait until there's a fully functional CM9 ready).
I don't think this is possible without modifying the specific Google apps, and even then it is something Google specifically wants to avoid... see here, ICS Design http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html
scroll down to "Stack your notifications"
If your app creates a notification while another of the same type is still pending, avoid creating an altogether new notification object. Instead, stack the notification.

Well that's a real bummer
So theoretically a dev could implement notifications that don't stack. I wonder if someone would be interested in modding the GMail app in this way?
Sorry if im posting this in the wrong section
I have a gnex on 4.1.2 with the latest calendar update, but i cant figure out how to change the calendar event colors when i create or edit one. It lets me change the calendar i want it on, but not theindividual event color.
Does anybody know how to do this?
The only way i know is to go to the desktop version... but that sort of defeats the point of having the calendar on my phone
Thanks
I don't think it's possible to do so yet, on the mobile app.
Let's hope Google adds this feature in the future.
I am more concerned with the fact that the calendar colors are totally different for the same calendars on mobile and desktop. Haven't you noticed? I really hope they fix that first.
The colors show up the same on my desktop and mobile. My problem is i just cant change the colors from mobile... sucks!!! I hope they change it this should have been there since the begining its such a basic function
