You want WinMo

oh no i dont

For all those questions, yes you do as it does them...the Desire doesn't as yet.
- It has Push for Googlemail, I think there is another app you can use for other account types
- Can't change default apps
- Can't use other SMS software (I don't think, could be wrong)
- Can't tether without rooting (as you've said)
HD2 does all these, some stock some with custom ROMs

- what about the support for Exchange push in the mail program?
-if you install another program, you may be able to. you can remove the defaults for applications in the settings. that's why you can switch between homescreens once you have installed launcher2.apk....
- there's plenty of other SMS software in the market, ChompSMS, Handcent etc.
- yes, you need to root.

But overall, yeah, it sounds like for the kinda stuff you want to do, winmo would be better all round.

Honestly you don't need google Earth it's 22mb and the maps does the same thing!
Also big drain on battery (Earth and Maps) so not something you would want to use all the time anyhow.
Search around for apps as you may find one that does same but for less space.
Also, are you using all the apps? Are a lot of them just games?
Be smart with the limited space.
It's not ideal I know, but until anything changes not a lot you can do.

-Internal memory
Yes, this is a pain. I wish Google would let us put stuff on SD card already without having to root the phone and HTC needs to put less preinstalled crap too replacing it with OTA on demand instead. Teeter? WTH!
-Wifi tethering
Yes, PDANet and some other application allow BT/WiFi/USD tethering with Windows/OSX and Linux. Probably not with iPad because it has no USB, BT is crap (if same as on iPhone) ... not real OS X.
-Push mail through the HTC app...possible?
No. Google's own email app will do push for Gmail accounts only. HTC email will check at specified intervals.
-How can i change the defaut app to open for X action...
You can't, as far as I know.
-Can i use another SMS software with the HTC message widget? exemple when i click new message it open the defaut one...
Yes. There are two very popular ones, but HTC's own is all I need.
-How can i use picasa ? i keep having an error (authentification...) in gallery app.
Yes. Not sure about your error. You can get Gallery app from N1 and use that instead of HTC's Photos.
-voicesearch and speech to text. Installed HTC IME KB, Voice app and nothing work. I cant have the keyboard in the list of KB. And voice search doesnt work...(error connex)
Hmm, by default HTC IME doesn't do voice. I installed Voice Search with Android default keyboard and have that feature now. Although I rarely use it. Swype FTW! Check the forums there was a link to the apk to get it all working.

thanks a lot...for the answer even though some are really mindblowing in the worst way
thx !

yup yup
You've summed up some of the biggest problems with Android and the Desire.
The inability to install apps to an SD card is a big problem - one that can be solved by waiting for root, or by waiting for the next release of Android (I think Google have said they are working on this feature for the next version). Basically, just by waiting.
I use IMAP IDLE with the K-9 email app for push IMAP email from my fastmail.fm account. Works instantly and perfectly. Love it.
Hope this helps a little.

[Q]Sip App for Samsung Galaxy SII - or stock SIP (where???)

Hello,
when reading the AndroidUsersGuide-2.3.pdf I can see that the phone should have a possibilty to setup SIP accounts within the stock call App but I cant find any settings???
Anyone got a recommendation for a SIP App if the stock one doesnt work?

Yes the App Fring is very recomendet for Sip calls.
But take care of the battery drain like every other Messenger app

So there's no stock SIP app?

stock sip is disabled and only root modifications can enable it
otherwise, simplesip is pretty good, although it uses the wrong mic on the sgs2 ;-)
much better than fring as in its a real sip client (you need a sip account somewhere) and doesnt uses up battery if you don't register it for incoming calls

OK my Device is rooted so maybe worth a try

Ok, so if we have root how can we enable stock sip?
I would love to connect my phone with my tribox.

CsipSimple will work but you have to go to expert settings and change mic settings like this:
* Use mode API : disabled
* Use routing API : disabled
* Audio mode for SIP calls : "NORMAL"
* Micro source : "DEFAULT"
Then it will work. Tested and works

Or you can use the nightly builds of csipsimple!
Its much better than sipdroid btw!

How to enable native SIP stack on Galaxy S II
There are various VoIP clients you can use for making VoIP calls (Sipdroid, csipsimple, etc.) but I’d definitely recommend giving the original Android SIP stack a try
Normally, all smartphones running Android 2.3.3 or higher come with a native SIP stack, allowing handset owners to register their SIP accounts to make and receive calls.
Unfortunately this feature has been deliberately dropped by the Samsung cowards who obviously bowed to the pressure of greedy telecom providers who are very adamant about having this feature disabled.
Here are the instructions for enabling the native SIP stack on your Galaxy S II again (I think there’s already a similar thread out there by a member named jarsiv):
- Unzip the attached file “android.software.sip.voip.zip” and add it to “system\etc\permissions\". After you’re done, reboot your phone and voila you can enjoy the benefits of the native SIP stack again
By default, the native Android SIP stacks only allows for VoIP calls placed via Wifi (it seems that even the mighty G from mountain view bowed to the enormous pressure exercised by the telcos..), but there is a way to enable support for 3G as well:
- You can modify your framework-res.apk to enable SIP over 3G by editing the xml file "res\values\bools.xml" and setting the parameter for "config_sip_wifi_only" to false.
In order to modify your framework-res.apk you’ll need to follow the following instructions (this is only necessary if you want to enable 3G support and not required if you only want to place VoIP calls via Wifi):
- Download the program “APK Manager” (just search the forum) and install it on your PC
- Copy your original "framework-res.apk" (via adb push or root explorer) to your PC and place your original "framework-res.apk" into the "\place-apk-here-for-modding\" folder
- Launch "script.bat"
- Press 22 to set your project and choose "framework-res.apk" as your project by pressing 1
- After setting "framework-res.apk as your project, press 9 to Decompile the apk
- Edit the xml file "res\values\bools.xml" and change the parameter for "config_sip_wifi_only" from “true” to “false”
- Recompile the apk by pressing 11
- When asked whether it is a system file, answer “yes”
- When asked "would you like to copy over any additional files...?", answer “yes”
- The script will be temporarily paused and you shouldn’t press a key now.
- Now go to the “keep” folder (located in the same folder as "script.bat")
- In the “keep” folder delete the following file:
"resources.arsc"
- Go back to the "script.bat" screen and press a key to let the program finish the job
- Your new "framework-res.apk" has been created and can be found in the "\place-apk-here-for-modding\" folder (it’s called "unsignedframework-res.apk" and doesn’t work yet).
- After unzipping the entire content of the "unsignedframework-res.apk" you should have 5 objects (3 folders and 2 files).
- Now zip these files with Winzip choosing "No compression" as the zipping method
- After zipping it, rename the zip into "framework-res.apk".
- Now you can use root explorer or adb push to replace the original framework.apk with your newly created "framework-res.apk".
Enjoy the native SIP stack with support for both Wifi and 3G
Good luck!

Wow... This is exactly what I was asking for ;-) thanks a lot...
Will give it a try next week and will do the whole instruction for 3G as well.

But how do you do the IP call? There is no IP call alternative when selecting a valid user from contacts like there is on stock Android.

I feel very incompetent here.
I've just purchased my first android, galaxy s2 and really need to understand how to get the native sip on 3g operating.
Any chance of further explanation regards files being copied to / from etc and how to, for these phones.?
thanks.

I am using the Cognition rom with the android native SIP phone client.
SIP works well (only very short lag according to the person I talked to) but microphone volume is very low (the person could barely hear me) unfortunately ... anybody got this issue ? any way to solve it ??
Thanks !
OOPS, SORRY, THE ISSUE WITH THE MICROPHONE IS KNOWN, PLEASE SEE HERE : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962

Helo
In response to mobile galaxy for native sip settings...i cant find the folder /system/etc/permission.
Can anyone please help me with that. i have downloaded the software.

Sip Droid works fine with me
Tweak the Audio settings to Highest.

[Q] Google Sound search hacking:

Hey!
Is there any way to hack google sound search "GoolgeEars.apk" to work in some known countries where it is blocked, E.g. in Finland and in Estonia.
I have decompiled the .apk and I don't find any texts that I should modify to make it work in other countries..
At least I found values-fi that have the texts in Finnish but GoogleEars does not work in Finland..
Anyone can help?
Thanks.
EDIT: I think I succeeded and it works now without frosting..

Looking for SMS/MMS App. For Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro

Greetings - Anyone know of any SMS/MMS App(s). compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro I can download from Play Store?....I downloaded/installed GO SMS Pro, but doesn't seen to work...Getting some msg. when I open it stating something about GOSMS prohibited by permission manager...Others I tried to download stated were not compatible: chomp SMS, Textra SMS, 8sms, HoverChat, Handcent sms,...
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...Thank you...

I'm using MightyText, no apparent issues here. I have it setup on my Nexus 4, Tab Pro 12.2 and Windows 7 PC at work.

Are you trying to text directly from your tablet? You can set up a Google voice account and use that number for texting. Otherwise you need to set up an app that will transfer the text from your phone to your tablet via wifi or bluetooth. I have used mighty text on my computer, but an currently using Tablet Talk.

Nomedias/k8108 - Thank you for the feedback...
I attempted to download/install MightyText from the Play Store, but getting a msg stating that my device isn't compatible with this version...Been getting that a lot when attempting to download/install apps. from Play Sore...
Any ideas?...
I assume you didn't run into that problem when you installed on our Samsung TAB Pro(???)...
All I'm looking to do is send SMS/MMS from my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.2...
Thank you...

You can also use hangouts for this. But, you might want to complement it with the Xposed module XHangouts, for better mms handling.

I'm running stock Samsung ROM on my Tab Pro 12.2, and no I didn't have any problems. What ROM are you running? In the past I ran into app incompatibility issues on my HP TouchPad due to what a custom ROM would have for "ro.product.model" or "ro.product.name" in the /system/build.prop file. At times I had to tweak it to report another model to get certain apps to install.
Or, you can download it on another tablet, extract the apk and sideload. Keep in mind the Tablet and Phone versions of MightyText are different apps.

you use hangouts for this?
I want to use my tablet to text while at work because the only way I get reception is when the phone is 12' away sitting in a window. I have been tethering my tablet and use that at my desk.
Anyone know a good way to acomplish this? I know the G3 & G pad 8.3 can do this.
I'm running CM11 on my TP8.4 & a stock 1+One. Also, I use hangouts on my phone. I looked at mysms, but I don't want to have to use their app on my phone I still want to use hangouts, or something that runs in the background.

Personally I haven't tried it, but reading the explanations in the XHangouts OP it is supposed to be one of the best. Another alternative is to use Hangouts for GV/messaging using your GV number.

Thats a good idea, but i was hoping to use my carrier number. I dont really need a second line. I've read that voice is going the way of google buzz soon. I believe it now considering the new call feature in hangouts.

Try the tablet talk app. I use that for sending texts from my tablet. It tethers to my phone and shows I am texting from that number

Ugh, the forum won't me post links cause I'm a new user, but there's two separate apps for MightyText, one for your phone and one for your tablet. You probably downloaded the wrong one onto your tablet. Just search "MightText Tablet" in the play store.

Hi,
You should definitely give this new app called SVS a try. Download it from shareviasms.com or:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.svs.shareviasms
Properly known as Share Via SMS , is a friendly sms app built using material design. It lets you share images and audio over standard sms, without using the internet.
SVS its a great tool for who don't have access to the internet or can't afford data packages.

sync sms works great for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms&hl=en

Themes / Apps / Mods [CLOSED] [SHARED] Google Dialer Mod (call recording and many others mods)

<Moderator Edit>: Thread closed due to the original developer @Jacopo Mii already having a thread for this at [MOD][ROOT] GoogleDialerMod.
Downloads:​
Please visit the GoogleDialerMod Release Page
How do I use it?​
Always make sure you are using the latest Google Dialer beta from the Play Store to enjoy the latest features
Allow root access to GoogleDialerMod, apply the tweaks you want, then force close Google Dialer app and reopen it a couple of times for them to take effect
There is no need to keep GoogleDialerMod installed after applying the desired mods, because they (should) survive Google Dialer updates / reinstalls over time
How does it work?​In every Android device there is a database, called Phenotype.db, managed by Google Play Services, containing special flags that affect the behavior of all Google applications installed.
Some of those flags concern Google Dialer core functionalities, while others are about hidden or upcoming features not yet released.
What this app does is execute SQLite queries on that database and overwrite Google Dialer configuration files to enable or alter its features at will.
Current features:​
Supports arm / arm64 / x86 / x86_64 devices and (hopefully) all Android versions
Enable / disable hidden features for all users at once when Android "multiple users" mode is in use
Force enable call recording feature even on unsupported devices or in unsupported countries
Enable also automatic call recording feature based on caller (otherwise only available in India)
Via the call history in the Dialer, you can listen to all the recordings, in an organized way, as each audio is already matched to its respective call in the GUI:
Furthermore, by opening the individual recordings, it is possible to share them using the apposite button:
Among the sharing options, there is also the possibility of copying the file to a folder of your choice:
Silence the annoying "registration has started / ended" call recording sounds
Force enable call screening and revelio (advanced automatic call screening) even on unsupported devices or in unsupported countries
And much more coming soon
Troubleshooting:​
After enabling / disabling any switch, please force close and reopen the Google Dialer app a couple of times. You may also need to reboot for the changes to take effect.
Before to report an issue try to delete Google Dialer app data, to reboot your phone and to try again what didn't work

Thanks for the work on this, works like a charm!

Thank you! It worked after a few force closes and reboots

Thanks for the share, now i don't need to call back people to ask what they said again haha

Nice, but where is the recording? I can't seem to find it. Yes, I've looked. Giving me the option to delete the recording, but not play...
Edit. Nevermind. On recent calls list, there will be a microphone next to name. Tap name, then play. I figured a file would show up, but apparently it's saved as app data

Google Dialer by default saves the call recording audio files in the /data/data/com.google.android.dialer/files/callrecording path.
Can be listened or deleted from historical call or recents calls

Doesn't work if "Silence call recording alerts" is enabled.
And even if disabled, records only when manually turned on (no auto-recording)

It doesn't work for me. Tried everything with also with newest beta. I'm on nameless rom (aosp) but can't record calls.

Don't use Beta, on beta doesn't seem to work

Back to stable and reboot and still an error trying to record.

in the stable version of Google dialer it works perfectly. I have had to open and close the mod many times until it has worked. Now Resists restart. thank you very much for the thread.

The original thread for this mod is https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-root-googledialermod.4330055/
I won't monitor this one.
