Hi guys,
I'm trying to change the icon for handcent app.
I open the archive
Change the ic_handcent.PNG to the icon I want...
Sign the apk and put the signed apk onto my SD card.
I can install the app and open it up to the conversation list fine. But when I try to open a conversation window or go into the settings the screen goes black for a split second and then goes back to the conversation list again making the app pretty useless.
Does any one know why this is happening. Am I maybe doing something wrong when editing or is this just a third party app that just doesn't like being messed with.
Thanks for any help

Guys please dont kill me.. im a noob when it comes to android
I updated from a Blackberry 9700 to the G2 today, is there an easier way to arrange the apps in the home screen? do i have to click and drag every single app to the location i want/need? Is there something a la itunes (ipod touch) way to do on the computer?
TIA

I'm not a n00b and yet the only way I've seen is to have a "free" slot open to on a screen and swap apps in and out of the free space to arrange everything. Lame.

I'm interested in how else you would like the apps arranged, aside from positioning them yourself?

I second this. If you want an Alphabetical list of all your apps, use the main app menu. The home screens don't need to be very / at all populated if you don't want.

Wow, you guys didn't help the man at all!
When you pull up the app drawer, just long-press an icon and you can drag it to any place you want on the home screen of your choice... If you want to remove apps from your home screen just long press it and drag and drop into the little trash can that pops up!
thanks omarsalmin, what i was referring to was in the itunes desktop application you can arrange the icons via your mouse instead of physically clicking and dragging the app on the actual device- i was wondering if android had something similar

No, because unlike the iphone, android apps on the homescreen are shortcuts put their by the user... and all the alphabetized apps are in the app tray... it's not an infinite number of screens holding app upon app, so there's really no need for a computer interface to arrange your 7 or so screens with a handful of apps.
It seems that part of what he's referring to is the ability in the iPhone to drag icons around and the others automatically shift out of the way. Once Android, it's like a game of slide-picture

Ask and you shall receive.. Screencast... about halfway down on that page.
I can't get Screencast to work, it keeps saying unable to start application..
I've installed Android SDK Manager and the latest Java Runtime Environment as well.
Welcome to Anroid! While you question has been answered I would just like to add there is a tutorial built into the phone. You can access it from:

So im looking for a folder app with these features:
-Custom icon size/coulmns
-And so it hides apps I already put in a folder so it's easier to organize.
I tried simi folders app but didn't hide apps I already had in a folder. Go launcher does hide the apps tho but i dont like that launcher.
Any suggestions? Please?

What do you mean hide apps already in folder? When creating a different folder?

You could use Folder Organizer (the paid version). You get custom icons, but not a number of columns/rows. There is automatically a group called "Other Apps" - this groups all of the apps that aren't yet labelled. From the main screen you can go to labels > other apps, then assign labels to the apps inside the group. As the apps are labelled, the group gets smaller. There's also an option to receive a notification when a new app is installed. When you tap on the notification, it allows you to assign labels at that time. You can put folders in folders if you're super OCD like I am.
It doesn't have everything you asked for, but it's pretty awesome. There's a free version without custom icons for apps/shortcuts/bookmarks/contacts, but you still get custom icons for folders. I'd say try it out, if you want to buy the full version just export your settings from the free version & import them to the paid version.
EDIT: My spelling of labelled looks wrong, is it? "Labeled" looks even stranger though.
EDIT #2: While you can't specify columns/rows, there are multiple options for the look of the folder. You can also create a custom skin for the folder, with colors & transparency that you choose.
Ok thanks. And yes i meant when creating a new folder in don't want to see the other apps. So i dont have an app in multiple folders

I just finished installing CM7 and i have launcher pro installed too but i can't find a way to make a shortcut to access the dialer because the phone icon always goes to contacts and i haven't been able to find a way to access my dialer to make a shortcut.
Should be an app called "Phone" in the app list.
Long press on home screen > shortcuts > applications, scroll down to phone.
^^What he said also.
If you open the app "Phone" in the app drawer, where does it take you? If it takes you to the dialer, just open the app drawer, long press the phone icon and drag it to your homescreen. Then long press again and drag to the location you want it in the dock.
download Dialer1 from market for cm7
Couldn't find that app and btw ppl the application "phone" directs me to my contacts and not the dialer so i'm still trying to find a solution.
anyone? i can't access my dialer through the phone app because it always opens contacts first which gets annoying when you want a quick shorcut.

hey guys,
anyway to change the name of an app, how it will show in the app drawer?
i dont want to turn to using a different launcher or anything like that. and i've read you might have to do some work inside the app (developer) but i cant find the steps or anything.
thanks for any help
is there an app to run multiple apps at the same time and have one in the background transparent
while working in another...
say for instance I want to browse the web yet still look at a document and be able to read it
tranparently in the background...
or have a document open or picture open to look at transparently or faded in the background while typing something
I know you can use multi window mode but that's not exactly what I want...
thanks if anyone has an ideas... or apps that can do this...
