2. what applications YOU MUST have on N1?for example i install msn ut seems there is a lot of this wich its better, or the MUST have apps.
3. its anyway to get google maps navigation working outside of USA? or something?and maps offline?

and last how i can change the SMS tones?and any way to change trackball notification colors?i read one but seems i need a rooted one :C
i will wait one week or something to see if all works well before root =) thanks a lot

Most, if not all of your questions could be answered by some searching. Thus I'll be really short. If you google "must have applications nexus one", you'll get everything you need.
1. Dialer One.
2. Fring.
3. No. Buy GPS navigation software.
4. SMS Backup for messages, and for contacts - did you understand the concept of Android, keeping the contacts in the cloud?
5. SMS Popup for SMS tones.

Your contacts, calendar, picasa photos, and gmail are all automatically synced with Google's servers over the air. You don't need to back any of that up.

incorrect.

ASTRO File Manager looks similar to Resco Explorer. It's free for now, but they may decide to charge for it later.

Well, it was a short version, yes?
Navigation works properly in some countries, not only in US. Not around the globe. AFAIK, it's currently functional w/o hacks only in US and UK.
Brut hack can be installed to make it work, but it's not guaranteed to work properly.

Firefox 4 apk

I couldn't get Firefox 4 to show up in the app market, but it seems to load fine as an apk. You can get it here:
ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0/android-r7/multi/

Does not show in the market app but does in the web market
Installed perfectly from the web market send to my gtab, which is exactly the opposite of how most of the other apps work for me.

I tried that, but the market doesn't see my gtab as a device to send to, unfortunately.

Its a nice browser but needs flash support to be great. Unless I'm missing something.

Nope you are not,
No flash, FC's on swiftkey, and a few more bugs. My chief reason for it being on my gtab is SYNC.

no flash. but it supports adblock addon. Hope the flash is coming

I never thought to look on the Mozilla FTP server for that browser. Nice find.
It at least gives me something new to tinker with.

...and once you have it...

Thanks! That was annoying me too. Another setting I changed is the "keyword.URL", which defaulted to Google's mobile search. The full version is better for tablets imo, so I changed the /m? to /search?

You can "pull" the website to the left or right and tool bars appear on the sides. The right side has your bookmark, fwd, and back buttons. The left side has your tabs.

Wow, just used the google print cloud add on and was able to print a web page from the firefox browser to my hp2600n network printer. My Gtab is getting better.
Works on my HTC Incredible too. Thanks

The graphics look horrible to me when I go to websites using FF4. I open the same site in Dolphin or the others the graphics on a website look decent, but in FF they look bad. I have not been able to find anything in the config that controls the compression or graphics.

I set up my gtab as a new device from my desktop (sync). I don't see my saved tabs in the tabs on my gtab. any ideas?

Good start for FireFox & I'm sure it will get better as time comes along, but for me I'll wait till it gets better.
Currently I use only 2 browsers: Opera & Angel browser, with Angel browser being one of my favorites (for the time being).
I like the fact that you can type in a custom user agent, I set mine to Chrome Desktop & it works perfect. Tested on Hulu using the Flash Mod & it works fine as well.

Pro Tip: already have a free box.net/box.com account? Users report that when you download the app and install after the build.prop mod you are upgraded to 50gbs.
Pro Tip 2: box.net charges for their desktop sync app. BUT...... Use SocialFolders to sync files from box.net and other online content sites (facebook, youtube, google docs, picasa and more) to your desktop. Please use this referral link to signup: https://socialfolders.me/r/rhn7e

Let's say your email is [email protected]. You can use [email protected] and it will end in your email. You can put a period, or many, anywhere in your email adress.
Did this, works fine. Guess I have 2 box.net accounts now.

I signed up for my account last year, but haven't used it for a long time in favor of Dropbox. Anyway, I changed my build.prop, rebooted, then downloaded and logged in... it automatically upgraded my account to 50GB!

Until they make synch between pc and mobile easier then its almost worthless.
They do have a desktop synch app but its only available to paid subscriptions unlike Dropbox

agreed, but the service Social Folders puts us in the ballpark. honestly, i jump on all of these that i can looking for that holy grail. i have about 3GB free on dropbox, minus.com i think starts at 10GB free as standard which I have, but again, no desktop auto sync app, and now 50GB on box.net. guess i'm hoping box changes their deals at some point and gives the app away, or a comparable 3rd party app does it right. social folders is very close though, signup off the link in the op and check it out!

a couple of hours ago i used this on my nexus s and it worked ^^ thanks
if you dont want use this mod, you can log your account on lg or htc device and then you can use your 50gb on all device

This is awesome, gonna try it right away!

Worked great on Nexus S (ICS)

Desktop sync would be nice but for sync on mobile I use FolderSync. Saved me on my last device when my SD card gave out

Any way to get some sort of Application like S-Note on HTC One?

The Samsung Note 2 has a great S Note application where one can write notes and add pictures on there along with Audio Notes. Is there something similar to this application that is available or can be added to the HTC ONE? Is there one that comes with it or is there a way to get one similar to the one that comes with the Samsung Note 2 on there?
Instead of just having a basic note application where one can just types notes with no pictures or no audio. Anyone here able to help with this?

Does evernote not allow for this?

Evernote is an application that requires you to save everything on their server. No privacy this way and you have to upload and download everything from them every time you need something. Last but not least they charge you for storage space and you do not have the option to only keep info on your device only if I am not mistaken. Would prefer an application just like the one on on the Samsung Note 2 called the S-Note.
Thanks for your input though :angel:

I've not used it yet but have you tried Google Keep?

Permissions and privacy invasions are like that of Evernote. That Toggle sync pretty much gives them control over turning and over riding your sync options meaning if you turn sync off they can turn it on and sync if they want to.

Fairly confident that s-note is the same way, but you don't really see it since its already installed on your phone.

Yeah SNote syncs with your Samsung/SCloud account so everything is saved on Samsung's servers.
EDIT: S Note's permissions :
1
2
3
4

The only permission it isn't granted is 'Sleep with your wife/significant other' then?

Is that an option to sync with Samsung/SCloud or a must like Evernote? I did not know that all of the SNotes were synced to the Samsung Cloud Servers.

Does Stock Browser Sync with Desktop Chrome?

Does the stock Samsung internet browser on the S6 (not Chrome) sync with Google Chrome on your PC? That's what the SGS III one does and I find it very useful.

Silky - I have attached the apk file from Enewman17's SGS III 4.42 kitkat stock ROM. This is what makes "bookmarks" show up in the setup/google account/sync with all the other sync options. It goes in the system/apps folder not the priv-apps folder. Set permissions after copying to folder. It is a deodexed ROM, so I don't know if that matters or not for the odexed S6 ROM.
Have no idea if it would work on the S6 or not. Wonder if you might try it and see? It can also be found by googling the apk name.(but the version date is 2012). So I would try the attached first in the event it's a more recent version.
Thanks
