    Root Stock froyo livewallpapers.apk

    I am rooted and running Sapphire 1.0.0, and was trying to put a new version of the neural network wallpaper on my phone using root explorer. After rebooting, I am actually missing a few LWs. And the new neural network I copied is not there either. Can someone point me in the direction of...

    Root Stock Android Keyboard Force Closing

    I am running rooted with Sapphire 1.0.0, and yesterday tried applying various themes from the Sapphire site. I didn't like any of them, and so flashed back to my pre-theme nandroid backup. Now, everything is back to normal, but my stock android keyboard is force closing after appearing for...

    Gold paint

    Somehow the gold paint has flecked off of my camera button. Anyone deal with this? Any good solutions? I was thinking gold nail polish.

    My Wifi has gone crazy...

    I am not sure what changed, but until recently, my wifi had worked fine. In the last few days, it turns off without me doing so, or loses its connection frequently. The signal is great, so I am not sure what the culprit is. I turned the sleep policy to never, and it still disconnected.

    Odd 2.1 Gallery Behavior

    Most of the time, when I try to select a wallpaper by using menu>wallpaper>gallery, it will open the Gallery app, which is supposed to show my Camera folder and my Wallpaper folder, created on my SD card. The odd behavior is that my Camera folder appears and creates thumbnails properly, but my...

    Droid and heat

    I know heat has been discussed a lot, but I am experiencing my phone getting hot in my pocket when nothing is happening. The only thing I can think of is that there are live wallpapers running, and thus, making the processor work. Do live wallpapers alone cause heat for anyone else? I have...

    2.1 Performance

    I force-updated, and think that the phone is performing very well. My question (probably from my many years with Windows XP) is whether or not doing a factory reset after the update would improve the performance of the phone or clean out "junk." I rooted before and tried a few different...

    Customizing "Pictures" Wallpaper Setting

    So, it's pretty annoying that when I go to select a wallpaper, the "Pictures" option pulls up every single image on my SD card (icons for apps, CD art, etc.), when all I want it to do it pull images from my "Wallpaper" folder. Is there any way to customize what images get pulled? Can folders...

    Droid 2.1 Limitations

    Has anyone released a list of the functions built into Android 2.1 that the Droid's hardware won't be able to support? I keep hearing talk of advanced 3D funtions, but is there a source that describes what these are and do?

    Weird startup behavior

    So, recently I have been experiencing an odd issue, and wanted to see if anyone else has also. Sometimes, after a phone restart (no battery removal), my phone will boot up, and then none of my widgets will load. They will all be blank, and the clock for Beautiful Widgets displays something...

    Raging Thunder game

    I was super excited to finally have a 3-d racing app for the phone that used the accelerometer. Alas, the current released version was not made for Android 2.0, and forcecloses immediately. I emailed the developer, and was informed by 'Tommy' that they are working on a compatible version for...

    Gmail repeatedly crashing phone/Warranty support clarification

    I am on my third exchanged phone for a variety of reasons. I have a 41/09 device that is repeatedly crashing whenever I try to compose an email with the native gmail app. I have duplicated it over and over again. There is a lot of debate as to whether these crashing phones are experiencing...

    Apps not opening properly

    Anyone else experience what I just did? I was trying to open the Messaging app by tapping the green talking bubble icon labeled "Messaging," and repeatedly, as in 5-6 times, it loaded the Gmail app instead. I rebooted my phone and now it's working. WFT?
