hello all

i have a galaxy 3 with andriod 2.2 on it.
wanted to ask is when we sync the phone with samsung kies software does kies save all the contacts in outlook? or in some other form ?

Guys,

I installed Rafroid lite v3 NAND ROM, it is working fine, but I could not boot the ROM without SD card, If I remove the SD card or use other SD card it won't boot. I had to put the same SD card which I used to flash the ROM. Also after flashing the clockwork recovery I could not boot my regular SD ROM. Don't know what happened, any idea ?

I don't think so, however you should certainly make a full backup using "Titanium Backup" and save it to your computer, this was you can restore it in case of a problem.

Most ROM's a re flashed without keeping your SIM and SD Card in phone.
may be something is conflicting, i would ask the developers, then make a full backup and re-flash properly and restore the backup.

I need to 'sideload' some stuff into my Incredible 2. This is off my Epig4G. I cannot be bothered hunding for the apk's again. Also, there is sms backup. I hear that there are some USB driver issues with htc.

Do you have an ext3 partition set up in your sd card to store apps?

SMS backup & restore will save an XML file on your SDcard.

Titanium backup will save some of the apps to its folder - you can then install them onto your other phone if they are free. Does that work for you? The paid ones will of course be looking either for a android market license, or an IMEI, or a SIM card or such.

Sideload Android apps all you want with the Sideload Wonder Machine | Android Central has some links.

on a side note - DONT buy Theft Aware. Its not immune to a full ROM flashing - so its close, but no cigar!

How did you get your LG Optimus One CM7ed? Well. I use P500 and I'm a complete noob when it comes to custom ROMS.

Would you please guide me on how to get my phone CM7ed? Else, please provide me some links.

Klub, check out xda developer forums, I think there are threads that talk about installing cm on this phone.

Been trawling around for a phone with following specs:

- Andriod - Gingerbread
- Touch Screen 3" +
- Must have - Dual Sim - Cdma + GSM -

Software Update for MAGNUM ~ Cherry Mobile

as it's actually another Avatar of Huawei Ideos X6......... but no Dual sim. Sigh!!! The search goes on.

are the new Defy's coming with Froyo preinstalled?

drmohitg · 3rd July 2011, 19:34

Hey on GS2 if someone sends me a text which has a number and i wanna add that number to my contacts, is there anyway to do it? I cant seem to find any option for doing the same. My nokia used to have an option of " USE DETAIL" which allowed me to use any number in a received text.
