Gentlemen,
I am new to android/S2 phones. I have done some reading and got root as well as turkbey rom. I love the setup except that the Memo application has ugly background.
Can I change the background or get a new memo application, if yes could I still import memo from outlook.
regards
shyla
Use the evernote App from Android Market. Is supports online sync with desktop app and has web access as well.
thank you very much

I've installed the native Facebook App from the Market, but can't seem to find the native Facebook Widget.
Is Samsung doing something to hide/prevent the native FB widget because they want me to use their Social Hub thingie? Is there a way around this?

Reboot/Restart your tablet. HC3.2 sometimes doesn't shows widgets after installation of an apk. After a reboot you should see it.

Hey guys,
I've got a Galaxy S3 running Android 4.1.1 (CheckROM 5.5) which I'm very happy with, however I don't think I'm using it to the full of its potential. This new Google app seems to think it can sync my life, however I don't know how to use it properly.
I'm a sales rep so I'm on the road a fair bit, booking appointments, writing down notes etc. I use gmail for my personal email, however my office uses Microsoft Outlook for emails.
At the moment, I've got a notebook, in which I write down appointments (I don't want to carry a heavy diary around, as well as my notebook, camera, laser, phone, wallet etc etc), take notes, have a to-do list etc etc.
I'm just wondering if there's a way to put in appointments, as well as write notes, on my phone which somehow sync real-time to my work and home computers, and vice versa.
Also, a to-do list would be nice.
Is there a way to do all of this to simplify my life and make me more efficient? I don't mind spending money on apps if that's what is required.
Any advice or recommendations are appreciated!!
Cheers
Google
Google calendar is on phone, so set up Google on pc and phone.
Ditto Google tasks
Ditto contacts
Google drive for documents. (You can get basic office editing site and viewer of play store.
All of these have lots of settings to play with for ie. Notifications, adding locations to appointments, so linking in with navigation + maps.
You just need to dive in and explore the potential

Thanks for the advice. What about notes?
And how do I install 'Google' on my work computer? Is there a widget for my desktop or can it be sync'd with Outlook or something?
Cheers
You are able to use dropbox also, and samsung has some usefull cloud storage capabilities for contacts and sms/mms.

just type in Google to search, then log in to your account, and there it all is, likewise, for the phone you can find all the Google apps in the play store, though most of them are built into the operating system already.......avoid using the Samsung cloud facilities in my opinion they eat battery, and you will be a slave to Samsung!

Also, Google tasks is their note taking facility, which can be synched with calendar as well

For outlook sync with Google you've got an app named outlook4gmail which is very convenient http://www.scand.com/products/outlook4gmail/
Check out evernote
Evernote is great for notes. We use it in my business for job reporting. from the PC we attach a job sheet and any information the staff need on the road or onsite, the guys can then enter product used, notes etc and we have an instant permanent record that is available from any device or PC linked to the account. Also add
Springpad is similar
Dropbox is also good for documents (google drive is ok, but you can't edit office documents) then use polaris office or similar to edit office documents.
Anydo is a good todo list, very easy to add things to do and check them off (keep notes with them too).
Yes to google calendar - i don't use outlook any more. run as many calendars as you want. they all sync to the same one.
Now the only problem is escaping work.

This is from an article on CNET, sorry I can't post any links yet since I'm new to this forum.
"Before you begin setting up your Android device, you're going to need a Google account, be it a Google Apps or Gmail account. It's not required on an Android device, but if you're going to take advantage of all that Android has to offer, you'll want to sign up for one. You'll be asked to log in to this account during the initial setup process on your Android device. If you skipped this step and want to go back and add the account later, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google. This same process can be followed to add another type of account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.).
Contacts, Calendar and Mail
If your contacts are syncing from your iPhone to Gmail, transferring them will be a breeze. Just make sure you sign into your Android device using the same account you use on your iPhone and make sure Contact sync is enabled. For other accounts, such as Yahoo, you'll need to export your contact list from the Web site for the account. You can typically find this in settings for your account. Or, some carriers offer a free app in the App Store built specifically for transferring your contacts. Verizon and AT&T have apps that do just that.
Should you be an iCloud user, you can still use your iCloud account to sync calendars and contacts to your Android device, but you're going to have to purchase a couple of apps. I have talked about one of the apps before, called SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts; the calendar app is called SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar. These two apps will add your iCloud account to your Android device, allowing you to keep your iPad or Mac in sync with your Android device. This comes in especially useful if you're sharing an iCloud calendar with a family member and don't want to force him or her to switch to Google Calendar just because you've switched to Android.
Music
Perhaps one of the quickest steps of moving from an iPhone to Android is getting your music collection on your new device. What you'll need to do is download the Google Music app to your computer and point it at your music collection. Google will then store your music in the cloud, up to 20,000 songs for free, and let you stream it on your shiny new Android device via the Music app. Anytime you add new music to your catalog, the Music Manager app will automatically upload and sync it to your Android device for you.
If using Google Music isn't possible for you, you can drag-and-drop the music on your computer into the Music folder (create one if it's not present) on your Android device via a USB connection. Mac users will have to use the Android File Transfer app to access their device's storage.
Photos
With the introduction of iCloud and its Photo Stream service, getting photos off your iOS device is easy. Using iPhoto on a Mac, or installing the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows machine you can conveniently grab photos from your iPhone and then sync them to your Android device via USB or through your Google+ account.
For videos on your iPhone, you'll need to use iTunes, iPhoto, or a file explorer to grab the files. Using a program like iExplorer, Image Capture (found in the Utilities folder on a Mac), or the native Windows File Explorer taking the files off your device is simple.
Going forward, you can sync photos from your Android device to your computer via USB, or by installing the Dropbox app and enabling its Camera Upload feature. Rather not mess with a file explorer? The Dropbox Camera Upload feature is another method to get photos off of your iPhone and on to your computer."
Hi- Some of this information may have been posted by "Moreno2.0" but I wanted to give you some info very concisely.
1. From what I can tell, if you have already been syncing your contacts with google, you're set. If not, you may have to export your contacts and then import them into gmail (should be a relatively easy procedure.) I found the following site that may assist you with this and your music. http://goo.gl/OsGcPe
2. Google Play Music SHOULD import all your album art, etc.
3. The biggest thing about Android is the fact that if you want your phone to do something, most likely you can. You chose the #1 Android development related forum to come to, and you should definitely stay active around here (at least checking out what projects people are working on etc.) to help your experience a lot. A ton of the apps I use daily I probably wouldn't have heard about until I came here. Not everything makes Editor's Choice on Google Play.
4. I don't see how you would lose your features if you use an official update method. Most of the time you will update via OTA (over the air) and your phone will notify you that you have an update ready to install. I'm not familiar with your device's specifics, but if you check out its related forum- you may find that you can Odin (Samsung Tool) update to 4.4 or another software release in the future.
Welcome to Android, and please feel free to personally message me if you have any questions. I'm not a developer (yet, working on that), but I know quite a bit. I'm an iOS convert myself.

Hi,
I am thinking of buying a HTC one mini 2 (in stead of my iphone 4s).
I have been reading a lot on android lately, but I have got a few more questions before continuing with the transition to android.
I want to keep the phone as it is delivered (no root and or other rom installed on it)
Is it possible then to remove all app icons on the lockscreen using htc sense 6.
I have found how to change the app icons on lockscreen, but not to remove them from lockscreen.
Leaving the lockscreen only with clock ?
Is it possible to setup dropbox to upload automatically all new pictures taken from the device when dropbox app gets opened ?
Does somebody knows an easy why to sync the following to be able to export from ios to android
* Contacts (i have found a way with importing icloud contacts to macbook and then exporting to google services)
* Calendar (i have found a long way this can be done using google calendar and share ios calendar to public, then importing calendar to google and close ios public share, perhaps a smarter way can be used).
* Notes (didn't find any sync possibility to import icloud notes to android) Is there a notes app installed by default on htc one mini 2 ?
Thanks for the help !
HTC has his own Sync Suite, but you can it also use sync using MyPhoneExplorer or other tools. I am happy with my HTC One mini 2 (I came from Oppo Find 5). Only the support from developers needs more time, I think. There is currently no forums section, no custom recovery ...
Hello, on my smartphone I use Gtasks to synchronize my tasks and notes with 'google tasks'. Is there an app in androidwear that can do the same? I have tried 'todoist' 'ticktick' and none do it, does anyone know of any?
Many thanks friends.
Greetings.

Been looking for the same thing. I use Google Tasks in conjunction with my calendar on the desktop and GTasks on my phone, and I want something that syncs my lists with my watch, also. The only app I found so far is something called Ultimate To-Do List. It definitely syncs with Google Tasks and has a Wear component, but I wasn't thrilled with it. I thought the phone app was complicated and unattractive. Lots of functions require in-app purchases to unlock (including the watch app) and it only displayed one on your watch. I have multiple to-do lists (work, personal, etc.) and the only way I could find to toggle between them on the watch was by voice.; there was no way to simply swipe between lists.
Uninstalled.
I really wish there were a better option. (And I really wish Google would show some love to Google Tasks).
Hello, after trying many app I have got what I wanted with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tasks
They must install the app with ADB, using the computer.
I am very happy with the result, it works just like "GTASKS".
Greetings friends, I hope you find it useful.
