I have bought the SG II and sofar sooner or later I want to get rid of the bloat ware. but for now I like to know whats the best email program.
With a BB all the mail came in one place and you could do anything from there. Is there something like that on a this phone or something I can download.
Also is there a program the lets you organize apps better. Their everywhere!!!
And how do you make the Voice commands work off of the double tap. The rep made it my search button holding it 2 sec. How did he do that?
Also last how do you syn laptop music?

I'll do what I can to help you out.
Best email program - I only have exp with Gmail & TW email. I like them both
Organize programs - AppZorter
sync music - there are a bunch of software that can do it: Kies, Samsung Media something, Media Monkey. Google it & you'll probably get more results than I listed
here is a list for you buddy on what to remove and not to...

to get the apps sorted better i prefer using a different launcher. Launcher pro is the one i use but any of them will put them in alphabetical. Cant believe samsung dont have an option in touchwiz to do that, seems quite a basic omission.
email i just use the stock one but k9 email is also pretty good.
not sure what you mean by the voice commands, you should just tap the home button twice and the voice control screen comes up
Best email: K9 Mail.

point is the standard everyday user shouldnt have to come to xda and download a modded theme just to get the app drawer showing alphabetical. Its a pretty standard request from everyone and a pretty big omission from samsung.

true and i fully agree with you and the way you sort folders in touchwiz is pretty **** compare to the go launcher..but still i think the update of touchwiz fixes all of that now
Does anyone knows the file name for the factory program that makes the sms popup on the Samsung Vibrant? I want to re-install that program to enable sms alerts when a new text is received. No, I don't want an aftermarket sms popup from a different developer so please don't guide me to an aftermarket one. I just want to revert back to factory sms popup for the sms alerts.
Thank you.
Maybe it's been too long since I've run stock but I don't remember that ever being on here other than 3rd party...
Are you sure the Factory stock Vibrant had an sms popup? I don't ever remember it having this.
I use go sms but there is handcent also both are great

I'm sure the Vibrant has a "factory" sms popup function. Before I rooted my phone, it had the ability to turn the screen on and show the sms envelope alerting me I have a text message or it would show the gmail envelope alerting me I have an email. Since I rooted my phone I have to use 'Glance' app which works pretty much like the factory one (YES, I know, but I want the factory one back). There has to be some file name I can find using 'Explorer' app but I can find it. By they way I've been looking into this on my wife's phone which has not been rooted. I know it's there. If I was able to copy the 'battery charging' sound from her phone to mine, I'm sure I can copy that sms popup file as well. Any clues anyone?
Thanks.
I don't understand why rooting your phone would cause you to lose a feature. It shouldn't and doesn't.
I'm a big fan of the stock Touchwiz, and I never remember any SMS popup.
Are you sure you have a USA T-Mobile Vibrant T959? I can't ever remember anything popping up saying you have an SMS. Are you talking about the notification bar? Or maybe NoLEd app found in the market?

That sounds like you're talking about the notification icon, it should be enabled by default but check the settings in your SMS app, there is an option to enable/disable it.
Ok guys, I guess I was not clear enough on what I was trying to explain. What I mean by sms popup is when you get a text message or email the phone screen turns on for about a minute or so and an icon displays on the top left of the notification bar. If anyone knows how to get this stock feature back on the phone please feel free to share that info. After rooting my phone with Axura ROM I lost that feature and the screen does not turn on anymore. I don't want any aftermarket apps I already have 'Glance' which works fine but once I get the stock one back I will get rid of 'Glance' app. Hope this clarifies confusions.
Thanks

I have the settings for sms set already to display notification in status bar but to no avail. Axura ROM took that out.
Have you tried replacing the SMS app with one from another ROM? Or just reinstalling it?
I've never had that issue, but I've never tried axura either...
This may be far fetched, but could the theme you're using be washing it out? I've had it happen before where the theme was the same colors and you couldn't see the notifications.
Sounds like you need the touchwiz mms.apk. The stock Android one doesn't support screen on function. You can pull the file from another ROM and push it through or search the apps section for non-blurry mms by explodingboy. He has the files for both 2.2 and 2.3 roms I believe.

I'm going to reinstall it and see how it goes. I'm not sure if Axura is washing out the app but I wouldn't doubt it. I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks
I already have Glance. This app works just like the one that came with the phone before rooting. Check it out you might like it.
See if you can find a compatible touchwiz app that works with Axura. Barring that, I suggest you either switch back to a Touchwiz enabled ROM, settle for a third party app solution, or try MIUI. MIUI does not have Touchwiz MMS, but it does have the feature of turning the screen on and/or giving notification updates and/or popup updates when you get texts.
Oh, and you can also theme the ever loving crap out of it. And it's generally wonderful.
You're talking about the so called "toast" notification icon on the status bar. Popup is when you get a message and the message itself pops up in a window over your home/lockscreen or whatever app you're running at that time. Anyways, seriously, I know you said you dont want a aftermarket app and I dont know about Glance or why you won't prefer it over your stock sms/mms app but you should consider installing Handcent SMS. Its very custumizable and has that real "popup" feature I was talking about earlier and its just plain way way better than the stock app and I see no reason whatsoever to not use it over your stock app and best of all its FREE!

Thanks everyone for your inputs, I appreciate them. I guess I'll stick with the 'Glance' app, I like the way it works on my phone and I can customize it to however I want.
I deleted the stock Text Messaging and using only Handcent. I'm not sure if that did it or my deleting some folders from the SD card did it. I thought all of the ones I removed were from old apps that had since been uninstalled. Maybe not.
Everything is working except the receiving of pictures. I can send them just fine.
This old Milestone is getting long in the tooth so I thought I'd remove some stuff.
Also, it seems my gmail account isn't notifying me either and it is set to auto-sync so perhaps one of the seemingly empty files, now gone, killed that too.
Any ideas of how I can fix both problems?
Thanks

I actually have no idea what that means. Is there any way to fix it with just the Handcent only installed? There isn't very much room once two messaging apps are installed and both running.
The gmail is now working, it seems to have been unhappy syncing and maybe my dogs kept un-checking it, but, it's seems to be working now.

If you are rooted you should re flash the rom that you are using or you could find the mobile messaging apk that you uninstalled and install it again
It's rooted with the stock ROM.
Whatever I cleaned out also included something that broke email sync.
It will not stay turned on, I have to go manually press "sync", which will not stay turned on, and I'm not sure if I need to add another account to remove that one, in order to re-add it to see if that works.
However, when I tried to remove it, I was prompted that to remove that email account, it only has one, I had to return the machine back to stock settings. Blehk!
I wouldn't mind a non-stock rom, especially if it can be done with two left hands and cross-eyed crazy knowing nothing about it.
Do any of the roms, which work well on the Milestone, tether, usb and/or wifi with no other apps required, or are these two problems, that I've created, perhaps easily fixed?
I'll poke about and see if I can find the stock messaging apk. Somehow, I'm not sure I'd know it if I actually found it.
Does anyone have a stock ICS email client that will work on the Note? NOT the gmail client, the actual email client.
The Samsung one is not all that great. A side loading APK would be sweet.
It's been reported here that the stock ICS email app doesn't work for our phones. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588070
looks like maybe an update? thanks for pointing that to me.
email updated here at the bottom of the post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573221
Well, go ahead and try it. If it works, please report back.
I installed it, and it acts like it was never installed. Weird. The Samsung one is still there. If nothing else, I would have thought I would have gotten a ton of FC's or something.
The camera one worked though.

So no errors in CWM? What happens if you try to replace the .apk with Root Explorer?
Yeah, I tried that. FC City. But I could see the ICS widget. Maybe delete all email accounts 1st, but I deleted all after the fact, and while that helped some, it still hung a lot. It seemed very close. Just need someone like DA_G to finish it off I am sure. They have quite a list of AOSP apps that work on the Skyrocket.

Hi all,
I just wanted to see if other people are getting chat heads(new messenger update) to work. It doesn't appear for me on my DNA, but other people seem to have it working on their phones.
Thanks in advanced!
Working great for me. Enabled SMS integration in the app and now all of my SMS messages pop up too. Really nice feature honestly.

Works for me too!
working here. emojis are a nice touch... but i can't see ones people are sending me... oh well.
interesting well glad its working for you guys - I am not sure what I need to do - should the chat head be automatic? I am getting SMS alerts to messenger - just no chat head showing.
in the messaging app for facebook... go to settings>notification settings> should see a box for "chat heads". enable it. i also made it my main texting app(also in the settings but under sms/mms) not sure if that has anything to do with it though...
Thanks, it looks like I don't have an option for chat heads in the notification settings like I should .. interesting .. I'm on version 2.4.2 build 178229

I cannot see the Chat Heads options in settings (
I can't get the chat-head's option to show up in settings on my Nexus 4 either. I've tried rebooting and clearing all app data, but nothing.
I found the APK for the new Facebook Home application.. it's only for specific devices as of right now... any way to install on our device to test it out?? Do I have to do something crazy like edit build.prop???
I can't get it to show up on mine, either. Reinstalled both facebook app and messenger app to latest versions. Just don't see any option in notification settings..
Here's what I tried and no go:
Uninstalling/reinstalling both messenger and facebook
clearing app data
reset/shutdown phone
and the combination of the 3
I'd be curious if it started working if you changed your build.prop device entry to one of the strings from a phone that is working. Seen this behavior before, far too often, in apps. Restricting settings based on device model, etc, when they're perfectly capable of working on others.
Chat head hhmmm interesting..
Facebook really top it with this

Yea, I am using a HTC one x, and have just updated from an AOKP rom to a cyanogen mod rom. So supported device and no go. Seen the settings on my girlfriends stock galaxy s 3, and have seen the settings and heads working. The thing is, a friend has cyanogen mod on an unsupported phone and it works.. So I have no idea at all.
I did try to get Facebook home working before during the leaks, and am running android 4.2.1... They're the only things different to everyone else maybe????
For people that have it working and not working, what are your setups? Phone models, roms and their bases? There must be a common factor here, or a mod to enable it... :silly:
Do you have corporate email setup on your phone? I was thinking if it can disable this feature...

No, totally clean install with nothing but the two Facebook apps!
It's working for me, too. Perhaps 'cause I'm on a Sense 5 ROM?
Same problem
I am running cyanogen mod (nightlies) on galaxy s3. Same issue, I tried many things including clearing cache yet no option in messenger for chat heads..
