Hi. Welcome to XDA When I first signed up to xda I had no idea what I was looking for or what I even wanted to do to my phone. Being familiar to the whole forum edict rather than asking questions that have already been answered a million times over I noticed the handy dandy search function.
An example: Regarding you above question I searched, "rhodium custom sms tones for contacts" and was quickly presented with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407933
I have no personal experience with this program but I imagine that you are not the first person to request such a thing so there are probably plenty of options out there Youtube is also a good reference source since you can search your phone and see custom things people have done to it. Check out the rom section for an all over makeover for you phone.
Xda's database is intimidating to say the least but sorting through what you need is pretty simplistic Good luck pimping you phone
Hey guys and devs
I found a cool app for the iphone yesterday. It's called moodagent and is a program which makes playlists out of your mood. Just watch the vid and you'll understand.
Moodagent Teaser
As I said, it's a app for the iphone. So i searched around and found out that it's possible to port apps to winmo. My question is, does anyone want to port this app? I would extend the musicexpirience of every user.
thanks in advance
Hey, everyone. I recently obtained a Palm 3245WW bluetooth keyboard. The device works great, pairing is really easy and once connected it works fine without any glitches. The keyboard is really easy to use, and hiding the on-screen keyboard is easy in order to have more workspace. After a couple of day's use, I am satisfied with the build quality, it really feels like a real keyboard and it is quite responsive. Even some (not all) of the keyboard shortcuts work!
My question is if anyone who has used the keyboards knows how of a key combination to enter the alternative inputs (such as accents, etc). I could use them when writing Greek, where the vowels can be accented. Otherwise, is there some way to alter the key mapping in order to define how the system reads certain key combinations? I have tried several combinations, such as alt+key or control+key or Fn+key, but to no avail.
Any directions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Sav
P.S. Apologies if this the wrong place to post this!
Why did U open a new thread. There is already an existing thread. Now this is when I don't read and jump on to post your cap.
However, I don't have any experience with this keyboard so I cannot help on this.

I searched around and did not find any threads on this particular keyboard on SGS2. I found a few threads regarding other phones (mostly unsuccessful attempts with this particular keyboard), so I thought I'd ask if anyone has used it with this particular phone.
Again, sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I am new here.
Thats ok matey, just do a comprehensive search next time.
Hi all,
(Before all the bla bla, here's the link to the article.)
I'm all new to this forum (already said hi in the "say hi" thread, hi again anyway).
I'm also new to the Android platform...after having had different phones and some iPhones I must say:
I love my Android and omg it's so "open" (not always but...) it's so great. The possibilites are endless. My goal would be to use it as a home console, a handheld, a desktop computer etc...and even as a phone sometimes.
So...I found many things on the net about all this. But I didn't find anywhere if the S3 would fit into Gametel's controller. (Handheld experience). And no pics were to be found either. Even no videos (maybe I should do one).
So...I bought the ubber expensive controller and did it myself for all you guys and dudes. Because for years I'm just end-using the forums everywhere to get what I want by just reading something someone else has already had.
But I never contributed to anything (internet wise, in this domain).
So...many of my sentences start with "So...". Anyway, here's what I did. I can edit it and stuff if there's more you'd like to know.
Happy reading and hopefully I could help a dude out!

Hello there,
it's now been 1 week since I have my new Note II. Must say: awesome
I know that I haven't discovered all phones feature but I'm exited to discover them. Last cool thing found out: Say "Cheese" to make a photo :laugh:
I've got some question :
1) Actually I've got a TPU case but I would to change it. I'd like to have a Diary Case but I could not find any usefull. The biggest problem was to extract the S-Pen with the diary case I've tested. I'd like to have one that does not have this problem and that have a hole to hear well calls without open it. It should protect well if it accidentally fall down (but I didn't like things like Defender Case). Could you suggest anything?
Optional : Have the possibility to put the phone horizontally
2) When I press the Home button, when it is in stand-by, I must wait 1 second before I can unlock my phone. Why? I'd like to have it immediately. I already disables S-Voice, anything else to do?
3) I'm searching a little bluetooth keyboard, not little as the phone. I was asking me: should I search for a keyboard with trackpad or is it not usefull? (I need the keyboard mainly to take notes)
4) S-Pen : Do you manage to write properly? Is there a cheat or anything? :silly: I've have tested to write something but it seems hard for me
5) Are there any Must-Have apps for Note 2?
6) I've have got problem with the stock email app. Doesn't download mail even with syncro on etc, I delete the email and then he re-download it. Is this normal?
Thanks a lot guys :good:
PS. Power to the Note 2!!

I cant answer all the question as i do not have any knowl3dge about the accesories for note 2
Ques2: try and go to the developer option and turn off all the animations or maybe change it to ×0.5
Ques 4: yes, but i have heard that some have got a too sensitive s pen, and if you have that you should get it replaced

Thanks for the answer. Seems not to be gone this way..
Really? Should I give them back the phone to get it replaced?
Adding another Q..
I've got a Galaxy S charger, can I use that to charge the Note 2 without problem?
No one could help?

1- you should really visit a accessory or mobile shop which keeps all kinds of stuff, there you'll see variety. seeing just the pic and ordering isn't gonna satisfy you
2- I really hate when people curse about waiting 2-3 seconds for a job to be done. i mean how long can be one second
3-you should search galaxy note 2. in my opinion lend a normal Bluetooth keyboard and see if it works with your phone. i read it's possible, but try it first.again accessory store could help. i saw a apple keyboard being connected to note 2.
4- you gotta practice with the s pen. i have used the phone for 2 weeks, and with continuous typing(swype) i manage to write well. do try swiftkey3 and swiftkey flow with pen. they are good apps.
5-must have- no, there isn't actually much use imao, according to my daily use, maybe for others it is. yeah i do make drawings for time pass or write memos instead of typing them in my stupid and not understandable by normal beings , s note and paper artist are enough imao. if you do a lot of video viewing or are new to android air view might help or really are a multitasking user or a busy one, multi window should be a delight.
6-if you can normally use it now just don't give a damn what happened
hope i helped you. if i did hit thanks

Create your own list of 'must have apps' according to your preferences.
For me it would be Opera Mobile, Kindle, Kobo, UB Reader, Google Translate, Merriam-Webster, Advanced English Dictionary and Thesaurus, Quickoffice Pro, Note Everything, Currency, Astro File Manager, Endomondo, Sports Tracker, NBA Game Time, MX Player Pro, Winamp Pro, PowerAmp Pro, Sound Hound, TuneIn Radio Pro, Convertor Pro, Gallery Lock Pro, Smart Tools, a dozens of games and of course xda premium
