I'm confused. Your set of instructions ends with: "14) Reboot into system and your device should now be rooted". Does it mean this entire procedure brings you to rooting the device only? Or does it flash the device with English stock ROM? Most importantly, after finishing the 14 steps, will my...

How to remove Voice Talk? I hate this Voice Talk app. Very annoying. I tend to accidentally activate it whenever i click home button a little harder. It's difficult to avoid. I wish to wipe this app out forever! But how? Without rooting. How to simply uninstall it or deactivate it permanently...

Vector maps will be better.

I have the same problem too. The compass is not working properly. It's turning in the reverse direction. And pointing to incorrect directions. Is there any config or app to correct this problem?

This is the best GPS Map software i've used for a long time in my Windows Mobile days. Will you be making a version for this for Android?

Apple is too greedy. And it got truck loads of cold cash to "influence" any judge.

I'm going to share my experience. I'm not going to debunk anything or pretend to be an expert. Just plainly my experience. I bought a high end laptop a decade back. I'm a heavy user of pc. On the first year, i used it normally as it is. Battery always plugged in. When I compute in the office...

During my Windows Mobile days, i'm accustomed to switching off GPRS/WAP for mobile internet when not needed, while maintaining the MMS open to receive data at all times. I can switch on mobile internet only when needed. With the unfortunate death of Windows Mobile, I had to transfer to the...

Just put them all under one folder, under the folder Locus/maps. For example, i have a collection of several map areas with different zoom levels of Google maps. I put them all under /mnt/sdcard/Locus/maps/Google Maps/. They all work together as if they're all part of only one big map. I...

Thanks for the tips. Park service won't keep GPS on. A simple reminder will still disable GPS instantly. Of all the features i can try, only the track recording was able to keep the GPS connected. But it's taxing to always have to add a few more steps to turn on track recording, and then...

I have some issues that i hope will be addressed soon. 1. The Arrow marker, which is in outline form, is too difficult to spot during actual driving, when you can only do short glances on the phone. The problem is compounded in night mode. In the reversed color mode, lots of lines and items are...

Thanks for the night mode. I appreciate the lighting quick response to my request. Thank you. It works great! Got one more request. Is it possible to make the arrow solid? Outlined arrow is a bit hard to spot when you can only glance at the phone while driving.

Looks like a complicated procedure. Not just a simple app install. Actually, i don't understand most of what they're talking about in that thread. :confused:

Is it possible to install SystemUI.apk without Touchwiz?

I don't seem to encounter this yet. Or maybe it has been fixed in 2.3.4?

Questions: 1. If i install and test this, and later on want to go back to stock, can i simply uninstall this apk and the phone goes back to stock Nexus S launcher? 2. Does this come with the usual TW shortcut on the Notification bar? (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Silent, Auto Rotation) 3. Will this...

What is the bug?

I'd like to request a night mode. Samsung screens are too bright for night driving, even at zero brightness. Also, there's an annoying peculiarity with Locus. Whenever the gps lock goes off, such as when you enter a tunnel, the map always jumps back to my home location. I don't know why. Can't...

Since we're dealing with vectors now, isn't it possible to extract the text details from the map? And then use it for offline search.

Yes. It's quite slow. But not to the point as to make it too difficult to use. A bit more speed will help though. On the upside, its behavior is more stable than google vector. Google map seem to have a mind of its own. Sometimes it wants to stay on one area even if your already moving out of...

I can't find a Singapore vector map yet.

I love this new vector map. It cancels out my problem of converting NMAP files. I hope this vector feature and maps remains free permanently. :)

I have maps in NMAP format from my Windows Mobile app called NaviComputer. The maps are downloaded from OSM. Right now, OSM do not allow download to maximum zoom anymore. So I'd like to find a way to convert my precious NMAP maps into Locus format. Is there a way to do so?

What Outlook items are synced?

It won't work. You can open ThumbCal with the homescreen calendar only when it's empty. Trust me. I've been there. I've spent weeks trying to figure this out.

It's mostly likely the fault of Sense UI. Mini's Sense is inconsistent and buggy. Here's how the weird behavior of Sense work: 1. If you have no regular appointments for the day, the calendar app on homescreen will be empty (showing only the word "Calendar"). In this situation, the link works...

I have my whole country in my NaviComputer. Plus a few major cities and provinces of other countries. Although they are broken into several files. But Navi move from one file to another seamlessly. As if they're all part of one big gigantic file.

I'm looking for an entry level android phone. I've narrowed down my choices to a couple of units. One of the unit has Android 2.1 with HVGA resolution. The other unit has Android 2.2 with QVGA resolution. I understand that both os version and screen resolution has some effects and limitations...

Another question. I have POI's in odb and obf formats. How do i convert it or import to Locus-readable format? Thanks :)

Thanks. :) I'll give it a try.

Hi. This app looks easy to use with great features. Although, i got some issues. But maybe it's just my inexperience with the app that's putting some obstacles against good usage. Here goes. 1. I tried to download quite a big chunk of map using the app itself on the phone. But i can't seem to...

I've installed MyTrails V1.1.4 on my Galaxy SL 9003. The app description says it can use offline map. With options to either download it directly to the phone using the app, or create tiles using MOBAC in mgm format. I chose the MOBAC method. I've downloaded the tiles i need. Copied it to...

Will this work for 9003?

Where can i find photo of this keypad?

How and where did you get this app? I like to give it a try.

Will running Android damage or disable the GPS?

1. A fully tested and functional Sense UI. (To replace the current half-cooked and extremely buggy Sense.)

Sometimes, the phone partially freezes. In some situations, you'll know it's about to freeze. Because more and more functions gets locked up. Install "ResetMe" for these situations. It's a free app from Marketplace. Use ResetMe and/or long-press power button. Half of the time, one of the two...

The weather tab, stocks tab, facebook, twitter could be configured to download data periodically. My advice is to remove these tabs and services. They're useless and a tremendous resource hog anyway. Use the long-press end key to cut off data connection manually. Install "Data Controller"...

Nobody else experience a few seconds lag (2 or 3 seconds) when returning to the homescreen? Could it be a problem with my unit?

I think most of the bugs is in the Sense UI. WM6.5.3 works quite smooth if you disable Sense UI. But of course, doing so will disable some of the UI enhancement of HTC. Also, HTC made sure to remove or disable some of the important default WM functionality. Making you dependent on Sense UI...

That's a good move. In some areas, a high percentage of units need replacement.

That's a possible option. Somehow, i'm not allowed to make that kind of suggestion anymore. Someone keeps on following me and make a mockery whenever i mention anything like that. Anyway, try to check software problem first. As i first did on my own device. Before i've ascertained it is...

Try to do hard reset. Install only the basic stuff. (Minus Throttlelauncher.) See if the phone goes back to normal.

I haven't tried Throttlelauncher yet. I don't know if that can be the possible culprit.

That's great! I'm gonna try this. Thanks.

Nice. The red pin marks your position? How do we see the direction and speed?

Very interesting. Are the screenshots updated? :)

A simple way to boost up the speed is to remove all unnecessary tabs from the homescreen. They may look pretty, but in time, you'll find many of them practically useless. Windows Mobile itself can handle SMS quite well. I've tried keeping more than 20,000 in my old device (Asus P750), and it...

Did you install any cab or custom settings?
