Not sure if anyone can help here, but its worth a shot.
I recently took the plunge and flashed my phone and installed CM7.1 RC1.5 and its all working fine at the moment.
I have always used GoLauncher since about the 2nd day of owning my defy and think its a very good launcher so want to stick with it, I also like all the accompanying GoApp and widgets.
Now under 2.2.2. when I used the GoContacts widget and selected a contact a pop up bar appeared to give several options - Phone - Contact info - Message - email etc and when selecting phone for example it would initially give me a choice of either stock dialer app or GoDialer. I would pick GoDialer and set as default choice.
Now under CM7.1 RC1.5 I have been able to allocate GoSMS for the messaging part but I cannot get the Phone or Contacts to allocate to the GoDialler/GoContacts apps.
I have tried uninstalling the Go apps and reinstalling but I never get given a choice to choose from, it just automatically goes into the stock CM7.1 dialer or contact app. I have also cleared the data and defaults from the relevant Go apps and the CM7.1 dialer and contacts apps but this has not helped.
Does anyone know if I need to do anything to allow me to choose the Go apps?
I know its not a major thing but I just would rather tie everything together and to be honest I prefer the look of the Go apps
thanks for any help

I've been using my samsung GN for a month now and loving it. This is my first transition into the Android platform so please excuse my ignorance if my questions seem trivial.
I haven't unlocked or rooted my phone yet, but I'm itching to do so. I just had a few questions before I try it.
1. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe out my entire phone. I'm assuming this means it will similar to opening up a new phone. Since I've used this phone for a month now, I've put all my phone contacts in, including getting all the profile photos for my friends and contacts. Since I started a GMail account, can all this be recovered once gmail syncs back to the phone. I'm assuming this is for the calendar as well. Also is there a way to backup and restore anything else... ie txt messages, apps, settings, etc. I read somewhere something about titanium backup (can this be done the first time I unlock the bootloader?)
2. One of the main reasons why I want to unlock/root is to be able to put in some custom themes and icons. Am I correct to say this is only possible after I root the phone? Or can this be done on the stock unlocked form?
3. The other reason I want to do this is to see if there are any custom roms or kernels that can help with the UI interface to make it a bit more smooth and not as stuttery. (I know this is a debated discussion), however I came from the iphone and it is noticable and irritating to me (YMMV) Does anyone know of a custom kernel or ROM that will be able to improve on this?
Thank you for your help... I'm still somewhat hesitant to do the process. I'd just like to find out as much as I can before I try it.
You can change icons and launcher themes by using a custom launcher such as ADW or Go Launcher (the two with the most themes) but this will only change the icons of your apps. If you want to get into custom colors and buttons and such, you will need to root.
Gmail will sync all of your contacts back, but the pictures will be low resolution (unless they are your friends on G+) to fix this, you can redo the pictures by hand or download an app called Haxsync for facebook sync which I've found works fairly well.
You can download "SMS backup and restore" to back up and restore your texts.
Market will have your paid apps saved, but write a list of your free apps as market will not save those.
Also your settings such as wifi networks will be remembered.
And yes, custom kernels and roms will help with smoothness, promise
Josh, thanks a lot for the advice, I'll look into the apps before I start to unlock this puppy!!!

Samsung Messaging has a crappy theme but it's superior to the stock Messaging app.

Superior in what way?
Thanks a lot!
The standard samsung app is better than stock but graphically deviates too much from holo.
I immediately downloaded the application that you have shown me, but unfortunately doesn't work ... After having opened app it crashes.
In particular, he shows me the list of all messages (distinguishing read from unread) but when I try to go into a conversation stops everything.
I use GoLauncherEx on Samsung official 4.0.3 rom. When the application crashes, even golauncher crashes! For a few seconds the screen is all black (it show me only tray bar)!
I know that GoLauncherEx isn't optimized for ics but is the only launcher that lets me create folders in the program list (I have much application and I need it!).
Actually ICS isn't very stable on my device and I'm almost regretting gingerbread!
I can do anything about it?
Thanks again for your support,
I hope one day I'd help forum people.

That is very strange. Which firmware did you install? I installed XEO (polish version) and didn't get a single crash or problem what so ever. I had a few problems in rooting it, though (needed to wipe it first and re-flash the orginial ICS firmware before rooting to get the root rights recognized). But once that got fixed, everything was and still is perfect.
Or maybe it is because of the go launcher ex? I was using TW the entire afternoon (13.03) without crashes. At night I installed Apex launcher as system launcher and no crashes either (one day running), very low battery consumption and awesome looks. You can add the ICS Theme Pack from kovdev to get the ICS icons.
Hello element!
I've installed the XEO firmware, then polish, just like you.
I have not done the wipe but updated via OTA.
I had already installed GoLauncher. When I've upgraded I've selected Golauncher instead of Tw.
Currently I have encountered frequent application crashes and one total block of the system. The battery, to be honest, I can not tell if it lasts more than gingerbread why I used the phone a lot for various customizations.
I do not know if the problem is that I did not do a wipe.
If he continues to give me problems I do a backup. After I install the rom again.
Tonight I remove the battery and after power on. Tomorrow, we'll update on my test.
PS The biggest problem is GoSmsPro. it sends multiple messages at one time. If I send you a message, you will receive two. I do not know how to solve.
PS2 The root I did with Odin and had no problems ...
Thanks for the help,
Hello!
As I promised you I a write updates.
I solved the problem of low stability: I made a deepclean and then installed applications without syncing (I installed all the applications manually).
Now I have one problem, the phone crashes when I try to change the background. If you have any idea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23727272#post23727272
For the rest new rom does not seem bad ...
Thanks for your help,

Hey, check it out: One so called Tim Hutt put the stock calendar, messaging, and launcher app in the market and they all work just fine for me. The apps are called "Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS", "Android 4 ICS Calendar", and "Android 4 ICS Launcher".
The only bug I have (and it's not a big one) is that the screen doesn't light up when you receive a text message... Perhaps this is because I disabled/removed the official Samsung messaging services though... If you leave the default services enabled, then the screen lights up like normal but you have to select a setting in the ICS messaging app to disable the message receiver because then both the Samsung app and the ICS app will both write the text message to the database and you'll have duplicate incoming messages. Just go to settings and scroll to the very bottom to see what I mean... Enable that option if you don't remove the Samsung services/apps.

SMS apps can be found here the one i'm using is the first one, works fine on ICS with this phone i believe it also works on jb but always backup your old sms.apk before install.
- then push new apk to /system/app or put it with explorer app, change permid to xx-x--x--
- reboot
- if problems just delete the apk and rename backup apk so it goes back to original name and location, check permits and reboot.
if want to be extra precautious do nandroid backup first but i don't bother usually unless i'm messing with phone or contact apks personally.
LINK -- > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667615 credit to Difusal
other apps are found in links, i haven't tested talk because i don't use it, calendar and email ones work great, widgets are way less of an eyesore.
credit for these goes to B-boy from androidspin, i am not the developer. just providing these because this phone seems to lack some of these options in forums.
B-Boy has a few other apps on his thread but i didn't post them here they were buggy and contacts didn't work, if anyone wants to try them and get them working and provide details here is the link: http://forum.androidspin.com/showth...Calendar-GTalk-Market-3-5-15-YouTube-Inverted
it's made for another phone so i dont think the contacts will ever work, youtube is probably possible to fix, i didn't try hard with them because they are outdated anyways (play is a version and a bit behind) but the black sms email and calender along with a black dialer skin i got from the play store, is making ICS trump the jb roms so far for me, especially with 0 random reboots and 1080p support etc. anyways, i figured some people with this phone would probably like some options so here they are, these are working for me atleast.
nice, yeah this with the new google 4.2 keyboards for ics... and you can almost turn ics into a stabler version of JB by the way the guy says the mms works with jb too hard to say about the other ones
Hey guys I recently installed Liquid Smooth Kitkat (see below for version) on my Wind Mobile S3 T999V
Needless to say, switching from JB 4.3 stock I notice massive performance increase. Rom is a nightly but seems very stable, camera works, even tried skype without issues. I love it! I have a few questions about kitkat though:
1. I am not able to install additional languages is this a known issue? I am able to change default to say russian and then I have a little globe show by the keyboard to change to latin but no spacebar swipe that I used to have.
2. I am not able to add contacts to phone's local storage, it only goes to google account, which is very irritating, after I imported my contacts now google has access to all my contacts and it sucked out FB contacts too :_(((
Any one know of a way to store contacts locally so I can delete google contacts?
Thank you!
Also thanks to Liquid Smooth team, for helping reinvent my phone )

1. You could try other Keyboard Apps from Playstore if need be. Swiftkey seems a choice.
2. This is default Android behavior. You can also switch to storing on the Sim Card if needed.
Custom Ringtone/Notification
Hi Thought I would post my liquidsmooth issue here as well.
I select a mp3 to use as a ringtone by going to settings -->sound and select es file explorer to find the mp3. Doing this does not seem to change the sounds for long and not for all apps with the notifications.
I end up having to go into each app (ex. email and going to the sound settings in the app and selecting the mp3)
This is only a temporary fix however as when I reboot the setting for ringtone and notification look like gibberish or have a unknown name and the the default ringtones and sounds play.
Not sure if this is a es explorer problem or something with liquid.
On build 4-6
Thanks in advance
was able to add languages
Just wanted to update everyone that I was finally able to add a language (UI is a bit tricky)
You have to go into Android Keyboard Settings (AOSP) for english
then touch Input language and uncheck "Use system language"
then check languages you want.
it doesn't allow for swipe but you can press and hold on the space bar to get this to work, it's usable
Cheers,
As for the contacts issue, still researching but wasn't able to find a solution yet.
GPS Issues anyone?
Update 2:
I let the OTE updater update the rom to 2014-04-09 and it went very smooth.
So far Rom is pretty solid, I love the notifications that pop on locked screen and can be deleted without unlock. awesome.
Have had some issues with GPS using RunKeeper app, it seems to hang in the middle of a hike. I updated to latest RunKeeper today will try again.
Let me know if you're on the same rom have any GPS issues.
I am not sure if this is a personal issue or a ROM issue.
But I've noticed over time with InsertCoin, some features have gotten worse, but I am not sure if they were removed or if they are optional now (as in go and download them yourself)
I can't even test this theory because for some reason, my InsertCoin Market app crashes every single time I open it instantaneously.
And the feature that I really want to have are two things..
Change my lockscreen default apps that I can open, such as GoSMS instead of default messaging, and put email on the front instead of camera.
And the other feature was on the extreme power saving mode, I also want to replace the default messaging app with GoSMS, this used to be a feature but I can't find it anywhere anymore. It's not in the Kontrol either.
Any help with fixing my InsertCoin problems would be great, especially the instant market crashing.

Have you tried updating the ROM? Is it stock android or sense? Try going Settings>Wireless & Networks>More>Default SMS app
I have the latest version of the ROM, and there isn't any "update" buttons or anywhere built in that I can even check to see if there is a newer version out.
