Just installed XXLP2 ice cream goodness and I was trying out the live wallpapers.
My favourite was solar winds and I hadn't used it for a while so I set it as the wallpaper.
A pop up advert appeared and a search icon was put on my home screen, but more sinister than that, my default homepage in the browser is changed and I can't change it back. No root was required but this default page cannot be changed ! I'm raging with the developer now as AOI Studios were usually very good quality LW.

This is what I see when I go into browser settings. I have already uninstalled LW but it did not change this back to default.
I can set a homepage which is put into the "other" category but the default remains this.
Please can u help

well, but I think you tried everything there already ... hm, did you try to clear the browser cache and delete the settings?
I have tried clearing browser cache, setting homepage but it just goes into other and resetting to default from browser settings.

this is very stange. I searched on some developer boards and it seams like there is no direct way to set the start page from an app; some say it only works from within the browser via JavaScript.
oh well ...
K, thanks for the help
I have figured it to an extent. I can't customise the "default" homepage but I can get it back from what the rogue app changed it to.
I went into Settings/Apps/All/Internet
and cleared the data of the app. This successfully changed the default back to google but it also removes any added bookmarks. I haven't been able to use the new sync feature of the bookmarks yet.
Thanks for your replies
Hmm...you're not out of the woods yet.
Have you seen this yet? which leads to this...
you still have work to do.... Sorry to be the bad news bearer but until you get rid all that "add ons" they'll hi-jack your setting again.
Good luck

Hello,
I`m new, so be gentle. I have a little problem with my SGS2 Social Hub Email. It works just fine with the "push email"/premium thing, but i cannot acces my email folders like "Sent"/"Work". For example, i click on the "inbox" tab and go to "Sent" folder. On the bottom of the screen i get "Refreshing" message and after few seconds it dissapears leaveing a black screen (no messages). I have a Google and a Yahoo account. This thing happens with both.
So what is the problem?! Help!
Well if you haven't sent any message/email it would remain blank, I mean it won't get synchronized with server, I am having the same issue, don't know if this is normal or not.
Regards.
I don`t think it`s normal. If so, then what`s the point showing the folders, but not the emails. Let`s say I send a message from my computer and later I wish to resend it, this time from my phone. Where am I suppose to find the message ?!
Surprinzingly, after trying and trying, one of the folders got synced. Do not know how, do not know why it`s the only one that synced. It`s not like it has something different than the other folders.
There must be something we`re missing...
Well I found it, its not there in Sent folder but in Gmail/Sent folder, thats because I am using Gmail, you could have different with other email client. Now one thing I noticed, the above is applicable when you select Non Premium/POP/IMAP account, but if you select it then there will be three things missing,
1- No Sent folder. I mean the above.
2- No option of 'Load more messages'. Thats damn boring, how to get rid of that?
3- There is No Outgoing server settings.
But the good point is the Sent Emails will be shown in default Sent folder.
But as there are more negatives than positives, I am good with Standard mode rather than Premium.

Since I have turned from sense to CM7 I really missed the sense dialer. Not anymore
I found this: EX Dialer
It is a MIUI look a like dialer with a contact manager.

I decided to give it a go because everyone was suggesting it's lightweight and fast, and I guess it is true. It's not natively designed for LDPI (Nitpick). My biggest gripe is that the dialer is a bit laggy though, but I guess it's inevitable when this is not done via a native app.
There's no doubt though its an amazing app, and its free at that. So, if you are missing the smart dialer on AOSP ROM's, its definitely worth a try.
Screenshots:
I don't have any issues with cm7 dialer? I start typing contacts name and the number pops up.
I don't understand what's missing?

I had no luck with that. I m only able to select the contact or type the nr - with cm7 dialer
How can i solve this?

How can u pop up that ? I have no luck too.
I think he means when you press the search key (in dialer) and you write the contact name it shows up.
I guess. I don't see any other way
Lol my bad,sorry.I'm mistaken for theText msg it works on.

to try it!
its fast,but too simple. Go contacts looks better but too slow.
iam using Touchpal Dialer
its the fastest one ive found on the market for free
I have to agree with the poster above. Touchpal is the fastest of all I've tasted so far.
Just found out about IIDA Home Launcher after looking through the screenshots thread. Made a CWM zip to try it out, it's attached.
Original Thread
The original download was the entire system/app dump of the Xperia(i think). I cut it down to only the IIDA apks, nothing get over written so you can delete the files after installing if you decide to ditch it.
My first impressions, it's really cool. It's like WP7 Metro but the app drawer is just a downward scroll instead of an icon.
But we'll have to work on it a bit to make it work on the Atrix. Also we'll have to figure out how to add locations to the lists, right now it seems to be only Japanese cities. And the email tab doesn't work. Also, we'll probably want to silence the beep on touch, but that's probably as easy as replacing a sound file with silence.
Here's a few screens:

I used this launcher for a couple days just before CM7 was updated. It was fun finding pictures and "flare" but it was also kind of buggy. At one point the calendar just disappeared and when I reflashed I forgot how frustrating moving all of my apps from the bottom to their respective sections was. Moments later CM7 came out and I left it in the dust. But I'm back on Darkside now since I need Webtop. I'll definitely give it another go.

This is awesome, i cant wait.
the weather app(the one with japanese cities only) is a different game, it pulls the information from a 2 different websites one for area and one for prefecture, we do not use prefectures in America so im kinda scratching my head to see how we are going to make this app work , the twitcheck app does not deodex properly according to another member who tried and i can't seem to find the facebook check or the music tile for the launcher, the Launcher itself is more than stable and it can be used on a daily basis.
check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313247&page=10 there is a conversation between me and another member who is working on the same launcher too.
This might sound like silly question, but I couldn't find auto-sync setting on my XT910. Last week I upgraded it to the official 2.3.6 update, and today after installing a battery saving app, suddenly I didn't receive any email at all for the whole day, the new emails could only show up when I tapped refresh manually in the Gmail app, I decided to uninstall that problematic app but the issue still persisted, so I tried to look for the Auto-sync setting but I couldn't. I have a Galaxy S II too and I know so well that the setting in question is in "Account and Sync", but in my RAZR, there's only "Account" which doesn't contain Auto-sync checkbox, I looked for in "Data manager" as well, but there's only "Background data" checkbox. Up until now new emails still aren't being pushed to my RAZR, I really suspect that the app turned off my Auto-sync and didn't turn it back on.
Could anyone please help me? It's driving me nuts
P.S.: the culprit app is Easy Battery Saver, also FYI I didn't apply any mod to my RAZR, only updated to 2.3.6 as offered by Motorola
settings->account->[email protected]> sync docs, contacts, gmail, calendar are all inside.
P.S. Juicedefender is more stable.
Hi, I had tried that before, but somehow the checkboxes on the right have disappeared
please help

There's ways of doing it using the 'Activities' shortcuts offered by the likes of ADW & LauncherPro, but you can also use Smart Actions to disable background data, then enter the market. It'll pop up saying background data needs to be enabled, and take you right there.

I've been trying to search but haven't found anything on this issue. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a number of apps that appeared on my All Apps list without me ever even installing them.

The two by martetrut and the casino one. I tried searching my phone for any trace of these apps and found nothing other than their appearance on this list.
Today, I looked at my list and now more mystery apps have appeared, with another app by that martetrut dev.
I downloaded lookout and Norton and ran several scans and they didn't pick up anything.... I'm a little concerned.
Anyone have any idea on what's causing this or had a similar experience? I'd appreciate any help/input.
If it matters, I'm completely stock.

Someone may be using your account to download apps. go to play.google.com on your computer, click on the gear in the upper right corner and go to My Orders & Settings.
The Orders tab can show you when the apps in question were downloaded.
Click on the Settings Tab and look under devices to make sure only your phone is listed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to delete or unauthorize a device, but at least you'll know if someone else is causing those apps to show up or not.
Best thing to do is change your account password.

Yes, this was my first thought. I would guess someone is using your account to download apps on another device.
as other users said, it's probably someone else using your account.
maybe you gave/sold your old android phone to someone without wiping data.
btw, changing your password can be a good solution
