Google as default calendar? - Vibrant General

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before, but, I absolutely HATE how the stupid samsung calendar is the default cal when making new events! I SWEAR THEY ARE STILL STUCK IN FEATURE PHONE WORLD! ahem, sorry for the outburst. Any way, is three a way to change that?

X2 ^^ ... one feature that I missed the most that was on my G1 is the hyperlink of URL, address & phone number.
Especially the hyperlink for address, I drive around town alot for work, and plan my destinations on Calendar the night before. Not having the hyperlink to address has been a PITA.

s0niqu3 was able to push the stock 2.1 apps on to the Vibrant. Check out his post below. I haven't tried it out myself though.

Yeah nothing is more frustrating than putting in the address and when you want to navigate to it, it well doesn't work.

More specifically:
Replace touch wiz calendar with google default

That bar on top pisses me off, but I would rather have a tiny annoyance than using the TouchWiz calendar.
Follow the directions though, you have to remove the TouchWiz Calendar and TouchWiz Calendar Provider FIRST with a root file explorer or ADB (which I never got working), and then uninstall the residuals from Settings>Applications. THEN push/move the two apk's in the linked thread to system/app, then reboot.
You will lose access to a few TouchWiz widgets, and the home dock app won't work.

Froyo is making nice progress it seems, but I am not sure if you can put applications in there on your own. My guess, those icons are hardcoded in there.
As seen in this video @ 6:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y7XJI4NN7k
It would be awful if they were hard coded. I'm ok with the phone button but maybe i wanna put something else in stead of the browser.
you should perhaps do a search before posting. this exact video is about 8 threads down, here
Interesting, a drop down icon below the google icon in the search widget... does that mean you can change your search engine?
Seems like they let you change orientation how you want in froyo Like cyangoen, or whoever did that mod did
Nice find. Anything can be changed
thats cool, I can roll with that.
maybe it's just me, but i don't find that launcher very attractive; i like the helixlauncher's ability to add 4 shortcuts, which looks much better than this

I'm guessing it's so you can choose options like Image search, local search, books etc.
That makes more sense to me, but who knows.
I love this since helixlauncher2 FC alot!
More home pages please
I liked the previous one better...
The update isn't launched yet and it can be anything....
Fingers crossed...
wish they would add the ability to turn the notification bar from white to black. I also like helixlauncher2's ability to remove the notification bar entirely from the homescreen.

No it doesn't. I haven't had a single crash in over a month. Maybe you should unbreak your phone.

[Q] Cant change the default keyboard and story of swype

So i Flashed my xperia x10a yesterday to 2.1.... after that... I am not able to change the keyboard to android keyboard .. its stuck on default..
Can any one suggest what can I do ..
While at it, I am looking for swype too... i know that the beta program is closed, however, was wondering if i root my phone.. can i just borrow Swype apk from some one on the forum and use it ?
Possible alternative solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848334
Two things I feel differently about.
Swipe and Handcent both seem to be "Everyone else is doing it,So I should to" kind of things.
Maybe I missed the boat but in the end I don't get it.
Either way, at least read the thread. You may like it.
Sausuge fingers UNITE
You mean if you long press in the typing field you don't get a dialogue to choose the input method?
It should be there. If you're still unsuccessful try repairing/reinstalling via SEUS or PC Companion.
As for Swype, we're not supposed to post the apk here for this reason, however if you search for swype apk online you can find several sources.
I use both Swype and Handcent SMS and I find them both better than the stock apps that came with the phone.
I prefer to see this than the stock SMS app:

As this is Android you can customize the phone to your heart's content. Download, try and uninstall if you don't like it!

Email notification for account widget

Hi,
I'm using two email account on the Samsung client,
I would like to have a notification on the widget, so I could only open one in which I have new messages..
To have a notification for new email I must use Social Hub..
I know Gmail (Google client) has the notification in the widget...
Is it possible that Samsung did not think to add the widget of the notification email?

}
Mine shows a notification number,which will add up depending on how many unread emails there are.
here is a screeShot:
This is what Android is kicked for when compared to iOS. Not only are there thousands of devices behaving differently, but the same app in same device having small differences! (is it because of firmware upgrade)?
Lol what? I call it user error. If you add you account individually through the shortcuts, you wont get any notifications. If you add the actual app from the app drawer you will get notifications. Its been like that since the sgs2 and maybe original sgs. Im pretty sure the OP knows but theres also a widget for regular email app that you cant swipe through.
Even though our forum section is a little slow on development, you might want to check out the sgs2 section to see if anyone modded the email app. There basically the same phone.

[APP/Launcher] Apex Launcher Widgets

Good afternoon XDA,
My issue is the following. I love Apex and I love working with it but I have several widgets (including my mails and N7player etc..) and every now and again they resize to way outside the current screen.
Is this a known issue and anyone have any idea how to permanently fix it?
PS: I have found a way to temporarily fix it which is holding tap on the widget so that "remove" / "resize" / "app info" & "share" become visible. When I release the widget takes his pre-defined size again and it's all fine (temporarily that is...)

I admit I don't know the answer but may I suggest you to ask on its thread ?
sent from my Darkside of Nexus 4
Thanks for the reply. I searched all over the Nexus 4 forums and didn't find it so I posted this because it could be some Nexus 4 issue or whatnot.
Noticed that it was in the android where Apex has posted (durr )
I have posted this in their official topic too. See if I get any valuable responses,
It's a very weird workaround apparantly.
1) Change your home screen to 10x10
2) Then place the widgets on there (without resizing). Preferably put em in the top left corner else they won't be counted in the next action.
3) change home screen to 5x4 (or whatever prefered)
4) resize widgets, they now stick.... weird shizzle :/ (well I hope this works, used to be 5times+ per day, if it lasts a day it's "fixed" )

If prefered this topic can be deleted or locked or marked fixed of course.

Question Can anyone check if these list of apps look ok and also some permissions please?

Hey, I'm new to the forums. Decided to get the Nothing Phone 1. Seems ok atm but was a bit glitchy when first set up.
Just wanted to see if anyone could have a quick look through the app list to see if all looks ok.
Also I have some permissions which I'm unsure about for example on the shell app:
Reroute outgoing calls
android.permission.ACCEPT_HANDOVER
see and control calls through the system. (I noted this one because of the period at the end)
android.permission.REQUEST_OBSERVE_COMPANION_DEVICE_PRESENCE
android.permission.REQUEST_COMPANION_PROFILE_WATCH
download files without notification
android.permission.READ_NEARBY_STREAMING_POLICY
Edit: for some reason I can't attach the screenshots

Edit: images resized
Edit2: I did resize the images smaller but showing as the original size again. Apologies

What's your point man ? Nobody can't edit all yours apks .
What I've seen , you disabled randomly lot of important system apk so I think you may reset your phone , take a breath , learn some stuff on Google and after that you can setup again your phone , paid more attention on system apks .
No, I meant edit the image size, it's ok I'll work it out.
I've disabled the things I don't need for now. These permissions were there before I changed any settings. I did reset the phone after purchasing.
The most concerning me are reroute outgoing calls & download files without notification.
I haven't changed any settings in relation to this.
The reroute call permission also found in phone services
