LauncherPro is still working for me. I'm sticking to it unless another launcher will allow me to clone over my icon layouts.

How can you not know that apps are tied to accounts? Ever notice what happens if you hack your phone to remove your google account?

Removing the Amazon Appstore also removes your Amazon account. If you ever manage to remove your google account from the phone before uninstalling the associated apps, they stop working if they're paid apps.

Wagonburner posted:No suggestion here but always wondered why cell phones can't get the name from cid like a landline? they've been able to for probably close to 20 years now. Cell providers don't pass the CID info besides the number to your phone usually. Apparently, it would cost them like 0.0001 cents per call to do this and they decide to cheap out and only show the number.

Urfdser posted:I was having a problem where I would go to the market and My Apps would show about 15 apps. So nothing on my phone was getting updated. I finally figured out that its because I have 2 Google accounts and 1 Gapps account and the market magically linked itself to the wrong one. I you have a rooted phone, removing all but one Google account and then running Market Doctor in Titanium Backup will force the market to list all your apps on that one account. big mean giraffe posted:How does this work?

fudsak posted:Careful, I think Amazon needs to run and phone home once a day in order to use its apps. I don't believe this is true, during a recent multi-day power outage I had, I had disabled data use (and of course had no wifi) in order to save battery for calls - so the Amazon app store had no way to phone home to Amazon for 2 days. My Amazon paid apps still worked if I loaded them up for a quick game though.

Yeah repartitioning the phone can be helpful. When I had a Desire, I used a partition table off this http://alpharev.nl/ which took me from /system =250MB /cache=40MB /data=147MB to /system=130MB /cache=5MB /data=302MB while using CM7, although that particular table appears to have been removed form the site. It gave me plenty of app space without needing to set up A2SD stuff.

big mean giraffe posted:How is 302mb plenty of app space? Repartitioning your phone's file system is a lot more risky and likely to brick something than flashing an app2sd solution. It was for me, in conjunction with android-standard "move to SD". I was also never able to get A2SD working properly on my phone, but changing the partition table at the same time I upgraded from CM 6.1 to CM 7 was actually very easy. I don't have the phone anymore,having gotten an Inspire for myself and passing the Desire down to my little brother, who's not had issues with it.

Cardiovorax posted:So I've got that button? Google says I can't use it anymore, in the future. Thanks a bunch, I guess. Huge difference to just deciding it'S the ACTION BUTTON now. No, there is no button. Have you used Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich? Instead of having physical or capacitive buttons you have a bar on the screen with buttons, and the Menu button icon only shows upon apps meant for older versions. Otherwise it doesn't exist at all.

How can I get the Play Market to stop finding apps I only paid for through Amazon App Store and bugging me to update them? Similarly, how can I get Amazon App Store to quit bugging me to update apps that I already had from Google Play? For example, right now I have Angry Birds Rio that I got on the Amazon App Store, because it was originally the only place with the ad-free version for sale. However, Google Play Market is now detecting it and bugging me to update it - and can't get it to just ignore it exists and let Amazon handle it. I also had Documents-to-go come with my tablet but had it purchased on Amazon App Store for my phone, so on my tablet Amazon keeps bugging me to update it through them. I'm having these problems on both my phone and my tablet. My phone is rooted so a solution that needs that will work there, but my tablet isn't so I can't use a fix that requires root there.

Taffer posted:Yes. Weatherbug is pretty insane how feature-complete it is, everything from radar to humidity to pollen and hourly forcasts etc. It's NOAA data supplemented by additional data from personal weather stations in your area. For instance, a local elementary school a few blocks from my house runs one; so I get better info on my area then the nearest official weather station which is at an airport a couple of miles away. Also TBH I don't find the app particularly ugly nor the widget - I do use a plain black background on my homescreens so maybe the widget looks worse against pictures or something.
