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.

My Applications/Manage Applications FCs on me all the time (it is probably some app installed from apk that causes this problem). Don't see said app show up in APK or ASTRO.

i dont get what u mean

[Q] SMS interest, Problem and App Market History question?

1) The Samsung Galaxy has quite a beautiful sms app, was wondering if its possible to export this from samsung's rom to be installed on a sense rom? Private message me a link to 4shared etc?
2) I have a thread on my handcent sms app nearly a thousand messages in strength, I'm now struggling to delete them without crashing (I can't delete 10 without a good two minutes wait or a crash). Any help or tips for deleting? Don't want to system wipe.
3) I've downloading and bought a few paid apps from the net and installed them to my phone later finding they are on the market, but obviously they do not show in the market so I can't update them. Tips?

1) does the galaxy not use the default android sms app
2) try deleting data in sms storage (or messeges or whatever its called) in manage applications.
3) if you bought the app legally and not just paid for a membership to a warez site, you can contact the dev for the latest versions.

1)It does, but its been modified slightly, and black. Very nice looking.
2) Didn't work, done it many times, but thank you. Any other ideas? What about wiping cache etc? I don't mind, as long as I don't loose settings
3) Cool, thank you
Edit: Seemed to have sorted number 2, found a great app on the market called SMS Manager, must be knew because never could find it before. So if anyone has the editing sms app on the samsung galaxy, that would be lovely. Then we can close this thread

[GUIDE] Google Music Beta in the UK

Figure this may be useful as the stock music player installed on the Galaxy Nexus is all setup ready for the cloud based goodness of Google Music, but it's a service supposedly only available in the US at the moment.
To work around that, try the following (worked for me, YMMV):
Download the appropriate version of Tor Browser bundle for your platform from:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
Install, load up the Vidalia control panel and click "Settings"
Navigate to the advanced section, click "Edit current torrc"
Paste the following into the bottom of the torrc file:
ExcludeNodes {be},{pl},{ca},{za},{vn},{uz},{ua},{tw},{tr},{th},{sk},{sg},{se},{sd},{sa},{ru},{ro},{pt},{ph},{pa},{nz},{np},{no},{my},{mx},{md},{lv},{lu},{kr},{jp},{it},{ir},{il},{ie},{id},{hr},{hk},{gr},{gi},{gb},{fi},{es},{ee},{dk},{cz},{cy},{cr},{co},{cn},{cl},{ci},{ch},{by},{br},{bg},{au},{at},{ar},{aq},{ao},{ae},{nl},{de},{fr}
(This will force Tor to use a US exit node)
Save the settings, restart Tor.
In the Tor tunneled Firefox that's now running, visit:
http://music.google.com
If you get an error about it only being available in the US, go back to the Tor Vidalia control panel and click the "Use a new identity" button (to pick a new exit node) and refresh the page. Repeat until you get a Google music login box.
Try signing in with your existing Google account - this worked fine for me but there seem to be conflicting reports about whether it works in all cases for non-US accounts.
If not, you may have to setup a new GMail account solely for Google Music use. Be sure to create the account using the Tor tunneled Firefox so that Google think you're in the US when you sign up.
Once you've logged in to Google Music once and accepted the T&Cs (maybe grab the dire Busta Rhymes freebie track to check its all working) you can ditch Tor - Google Music will quite happily now let you access and upload music from the UK.
Load up the Music Player, link the newly Google Music enabled account to it, enjoy.

thanks
streaming on my device is quite nice, but i have to wait until the song is fully loaded to start it (in Music-app)... little bit annoying

A much easier way to do it is just use a proxy website (like those ones to get around school/work firewalls). The majority are based in the US.
I used the first link that came up on a Google search to sign up for Google Music back around the time it launched. Less hassle than downloading software etc.

The only real problem is that you can't access the store, which means you can't get any of the free music or buy anything.
You still get the syncing and upload abilities though, which is quite nice. I just need to sort out my music collection now before I upload it

I know that's probably a bit stupid but I can't install the app from the market. It downloads correctly but when it wants to install the app it says it isn't signed properly or so. Is this because it isn't developed for the desire? I would like to use it until my nexus arrives.

You need to uninstall any previous versions and also make sure you clear data under application settings

Found an interesting thread about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350164

I keep getting an 'error at line 1' message when I click on OK. Even without entering any extra text I also get it

The 'error at line x' is something to do with Windows 7 (possibly x64) editing the torrc file. Had the same issue...
Easiest fix is to go to the Tor folder/data/tor/ then open 'torrc' with Notepad manually. Edit the file by hand, save and restart Tor and it'll accept the changes fine.

I used TunnelBear on my PC to trick Google into thinking I Was in the USA, then accessed Google Music over the internet and registered for the service.
Then on my phone, I downloaded the Music APK from this XDA page and installed it on my phone.
Works fine for me for playing music on my phone and music off my computer which has been uploaded to the cloud.
Play still won't give you access to the music section though as it's not licensed still for UK use.

lol. what's the problem: i'm using music beta since last november here in germany even though its not even released here.

Hmm, used Tor and got my account linked to Google Music. I'm now uploading an album just fine, but when I try to use the Music Manager to listen to the songs, it still says it's only available in the US.

GV Integration Free

I finally got GV Integration Free onto my N7(WiFi only model). Here's how to do it. First you'll need a GV account and the GV app on your N7. Then follow the instructions below.
1. Download and install "MMS.apk"
2. Download and install "com.mdrtools.app.gvintegration.free-1.apk"
3. Open GV Integration Free and enter GV email and password
4. Select "Enable Integration" and wait for device to reboot
And that's it.
Enjoy!
EDIT: GoSMS also works with GV Integration.

Why? What does this do that Google voice doesn't do?

It allows you to use the native messaging app or GoSMS to send text messages via Google Voice. I personally didn't like using the GV app to text and since you can't install this via the Play Store on a N7(WiFi model) I decided to share the apks for those who wanted to use something other than the GV app to send/receive texts.

This is awesome
GV doesn't group all the messages from one sender into a single thread and the interface is not attractive to me. I use GO Sms, and this allows me to use my favorite SMS application on my tablet. Thank you very much.

How did you extract the apk?
Great work! I have been using the apk you posted and have purchased the paid app on my S3.
On the Nexus 7 tablet, I keep getting the nag screen each time I get a new message, and I can't upgrade because the app is not compatible with the device in the market.
So my options (as far as my limited thinking allows) are:
1. Figure out a way to disable the nag alerts.
2. Extract the paid apk from my S3 and install it on my N7
How did you extract the apk? From Googling, it is supposed to be in /data/app/com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration-1.apk and I should be able to pull it using adb, However, the apk does not exist in /data/app/ on my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

You could do a Titanium Backup of the app on your S3 and transfer that backup to the Nexus 7. Then restore the app only (no data) on your Nexus 7.

Thank you. This worked perfectly.

I had to use this attached MMS apk (see link below) on cm10 stable with a GV integration apk that I can't upload here because its a paid application. The GV integration APK in the OP saying it was pirated.
Download MMS.apk: http://d-h.st/jmf
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Not sure why it is saying it's pirated, it's the free version that I backed up on my GNex and transferred to my N7. So if you have the problem of the app saying it's pirated and have a device compatible with GV Integration then you can back it up with TiBu and transfer the apk to the TiBu folder on the root of the "sdcard" and restore it through TiBu.

Could someone please post a screenshot of what it looks like?

Will this work for Canadians?? I installed everything and the messages say they have been sent but no one is receiving them. I can make calls via gv no problem but this is my first time trying to text.

Thanks for this info. I got it to work with an inverted mms.apk, same one I use on my phone, but I'm not getting notification of a new message on my notification bar. I have it set in the GV Integration to "Always" for Notification Bar Icon. Are others that are using the AOSP apk getting it to show on their notification bar when you receive a text?

I haven't been able to get chromp or go sms to work on top of it but just the default messenger app itself isn't that bad.

Two random questions.

Hey guys
I tried searching and googling both these and can't find anything.
First I was wondering if there is any way to specify where to download files each time? Like if I download a Rom I can put it in Rom folder, pictures in picture folder, etc.
And second is if there is way to save pictures that I sync from Facebook to the actual Google contact? Because every time I flash my phone the pictures are all gone or replaced by the old ones from the Google contact.
Any help on either of these things would appreciate.
I'm Tasks AOKP if that matters.
Thanks

downloads will generally always go to the download folder. there are a couple good file explorers out there to help you move things around to where you need them to be.
as for the contacts, sorry. i dont sync my contacts with facebook. i added pictures to them a couple years ago and those same pictures show up on them whenever i flash a new rom and restore/sync contacts. i can even see or change the pics when i look at my contacts on gmail (on the pc)

I know you can specify the download location for each download on dolphin browser.

Any other suggestions? Especially for the contact pictures, just refreshed and lost all again.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Try a program called dow load all files or use opera browser as it allows you to change download location like a regular browser.
Contact thing I'm not sure. I sync all mine to google.
