Anyone know how to save the default file type for contacts to display first name then last name?
+1 for that
You can change that in Outlook!
Here you go try this. Found It awhile ago but not to sure where in the threads. All credit goes to the author

That won't work for contacts I add manually on my phone or when someone sends it to me via bluetooth.

Just use the CAB that Zelendel posted above. It's by Shubaroo. Works great and has been around for quite sometime.

So I was reading freeza's thread on how to add apps to multiwindow and it involves the feature.xml file under /system/csc
I'm not an expert on androids by far but I was reading that file and I want to know if I understand some things correctly. I saw a line that states the limit on videos and pictures for sending. Could i change that to send as large of a video that I want? I also saw a line that checks the area code before sending a text could I set that to false and send texts to numbers in my area without putting in my area code? I was hoping to find a line that determines the 160 character per page limit but couldn't, but do I have the right idea here? Is this some magical file?

I haven't looked at Freeza's thread yet, but I found this thread in the Note II that has a breakdown on some feature.xml features.

If you go to the play store there's a app called multi Window manager. It's free and will add any apps real simple. Need root I think
MD4 stock rooted odexed, modded

Yeah its a pretty magical file. You can even add blocks to it (assuming you know what to call the extra features) to enable more magic
I am running Jelly Beans 21, and my exchange email is black. I hate it.
I remember there was a fix for it. I can't find it.
There is a file somewhere I have to change some text on.
Can anyone help!/?
I think I recall seeing a 'toggle' for that in a file somewhere, altbough I've never run that ROM. Have you combed thru /system/csc/feature.xml? Sorry I'm not positive but toward the bottom of that file there is a section labeled 'email'.... if yours says 'black', maybe try changing it to 'white'?

AWESOME! that worked. This is what I did.
I could NOT find a single setting alowing me to change background to white. I gave ES File Explorer superuser access, closed email app and cleared cache and data. Went into phone root/system/csc. Opened features.xml using a note text editor with super user access.
Sure enough down near the bottom I saw this:
<!-- Email -->
<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>false
</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>
I changed false to true. Saved file. Opened email app and walla its white.
I was finally able to find something that would root my Epic 4g (not touch) . Its called vroot. Im looking for a couple of apps and have been searching for awhile, maybe there arent any but..... 1 is for screenshots. I was never able to do that. The 2nd is a texting app that will tell me when my text was read, but something the other person doesnt to download. I know its sounds weird to want to know if your text was read......but when you have a teenager who always uses the line.... I didnt see your text.....
anyway.....does anyone know of any apps that would help me?
also.....im new to this rooting. Is there anything else I need to do? I used a one click method.
Thank you for any help.
P.S. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. Again I'm new at this and I find it very confusing...lol

In Cyanogenmod v10.1 in the stock Messaging app there is a setting "Request a read report for each message you send". I've never used it and have no idea how it works but I thought I would mention it.

Oops.. I just noticed that this "request read report for each message you send" applies only to MMS messages. Not SMS.
So if you're still looking for this feature then you'll want to find an SMS/MMS app that will do this for MMS messages because it probably can't be done for SMS.
In order to ensure the text is sent as MMS you would have to send an attachment. MMS also require a solid data connection.
Hiya everybody,
Im having difficulty using the advanced edit option. I want to edit the title of one of my threads but when I click on the button I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.
I tried using XDA Labs but that failed as well.
Anybody else experiencing this?
---edit---
This has now been resolved. If anybody's reading this with a similar issue, read the next few posts.

England, Virgin Media and whatever we use at work, IE/Chrome..
No matter what I use from where, I always get the same issue. It's really annoying.

Is it doing this on different PC browsers. Sounds like a browser issue BUT it might be something about the thread.
Can you link to the thread in question and just as a matter of interest does it do it on other threads of yours.... like this one?

It happens on Safari as well (sorry to swear like that..ahem..) however it looks like I've just been able to change this threads title so it could just be the individual thread after all.

A couple of years ago, or so.
I had a thread that I couldn't edit the title, so I just used the report post button, and asked that a Mod edit the title for me.
After the Mod edited the title, I was able to edit it myself again, don't remember if some reason why was found or not.

Ok, bit of a disaster here.
I tried to edit the title by adding a period "." at the end of the title.
That worked, however after saving it removed the graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or at least the graphic links you see in the text editor are still there but all screwed up.
You may be able to add them back but it's going to be a pain... sorry.
I have seen this exact same corruption before and I've spoken to bitpushr about it a few times but he could never replicate the problem.
Quite a few people have this happen to them, my feeling is that it happens when the OP uses unusual fonts or characters and it may be too that copying in content to the post from other sources like MS Word etc., causes stray code to get in and corrupt the post. I strongly suspect that's why it was giving you the Gateway error to begin with.
It might be worth re creating the first post without using any copied in text or at least just plain text and formatting within the post... then deleting the existing post one.
This would need to be done very carefully as any accidental deletion of post #1 will delete the thread.
Another method might be to create a new thread, get post one just right and working, then we copy across all the posts from 2 onward to the new thread and delete the old thread.

Thank you for that, I'm trying the advanced edit now...and it seems to work. No gateway error!
Losing the image links isn't a problem - I have the whole thread saved as a TXT file anyway. I normally write the longer posts in Notepad++, I just find it easier. I used to access this site through IE at work and I noticed that the advanced edit messed up the image links there as well. But not if I used Chrome.
I guess I must have put an unusual code in there at some point over the years..hmm.. Oh well, a good excuse for a refresh!
I'll keep an eye on this and, if I have problems in the future, I'll bear your advice in mind. :highfive:
----update----
502 gateway error again when I try to update the post with new text and a new title. I'll try just updating the title for now. Maybe I need to rewrite the post that much sooner!
Wait...wait...nope, now it's working. Post updated finally! Thanks so much for all your help!

Agh! good some progress at least.
So the idea of getting a Mod to slightly edit the title works then. Except:silly:, don't get me to do it as all the graphics go wrong (I use the WYSIWYG editor too.

The saga continues...
I thought I had this but it looks like I was wrong. Advanced edit works now. I did some trial and error and worked out that error was being caused by one of the mentions I had in there. It looks like I had too many and that's what was causing the gateway error.
But I still can't change the title. I put in a new title and, although I don't get any errors, the title doesn't actually change. It's still the way it was when you changed it.
While I'm trying to get this sorted out, could I please ask a favour? Could you possibly change the title to "[TOOL]Tickle My Android - Decompile & Deodex With Ease"? I normally have the version number in there but I'm beginning to suspect I may have to have a static title rather than one I keep changing...
