I noticed that I had a lot of battery usage from 'Cell Standy' so I put together this update that removes the phone apks that have to deal with the phone system, which doesn't exist on this device. I have only tested this on CM6.1b4 rom. It only deletes 4 apks. Afterwards you won't see cell standby in the battery usage. Use at own risk, and backup system first.
On a side note, I followed this thread as well to reduce redraw lag for the home screen, seems much faster now: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...draw-launcherpro-adw-credit-samsonite801.html

If I use this can I still talk on the phone and send text messages?
It says they remove the phone, mms, and 2 other apks. I am just wondering....thanks

I'm guessing that's for a tablet or something...and looking at the update-script. It removes "phone.apk" "mms.apk" "telephonyprovider.apk" and "voicedialer.apk"
Good luck trying to make a call or send texts
But go ahead and test it out - I'd recommend doing a nandroid before hand though.

There is no way. Once MMS.apk is gone, even if using Handcent, Chomp, Go SMS, etc text messaging is gone.
Same holds true with the phone apk. Use at your own risk, but it will break calls and texts
Definitely for a Tablet device or for a device they are using as a PDA and not an activated phone. but cool app, need to find one like that for my PalmPre i only use on WiFi

The only way your going to be able to disable the "cell standby" is by putting your phone in airplane mode. When you do that you will not receive phone calls or text messages while in that mode. IMO that would kind of defeat the purpose of having your phone, you might as well shut it off lol. Like the others said, I would NOT flash this, and if you do, make sure you have a nandroid of your current first.

I was wondering if on a hero build you could remove the MMS.apk and just install something like Chompsms or Handcent, would you still be able to get messages without the original messaging app sitting in the background?

Yea you can do that just disable the notification on the original messaging app.

What do you mean? I'm talking about completely deleting the mms.apk from /data/app_s and just replacing with chomp, would that work?

What I was saying was you can just open up your original messaging app and go to settings and turn off your notification and just what other messaging app you want to use. That way when you get a new message it would just notify chompsms/handcent and not the original one. Then make chompsms/handcent your default. I would do it that way so you still got the original on there but use whichever one you want. You never know if you'll run into a problem and need the original one for a back up. I hope that makes sense, I know I was rambling.

I already do that on other hero builds and it works okay, but when I get a new text I open up cleanoid (or whatever other taskkiller I feel like using) it always shows the original messaging app as a running process and I would like to completely eliminate that so I can reduce as much memory usage as possible and receive all my messages
Ok gotcha. Well I don't have a definite answer and wouldn't want to give you a wrong one, but I would assume you could just remove. Don't know if it would give you any problems down the road. The worst thing that would happen would be to either push the mms.apk back or just reflash a rom.
From what I've been told hope this helps. If you delete the mms.apk your new one will work fine but you will loose the ability to send mms as your other messaging programs still use parts of the original to function properly. You could always try freezing the original mms program with titanium back up that way out of sight out of mind but if you should ever need it again you can just defrost it.
Hi guys,
I am currently using the latest CyanogenMod (have been for more 7 months). I have found that it takes about 1 full seconds (at times maybe more) to load the Dialer app when I press the "Call" button. I would like to find out how can I speed up this function, as for me, the phone dialer app is the MOST crucial function for a PDA phone.
I find that it is much faster for me to get to the "Home" app after I have enabled "Home App in Memory" using "Spare Parts". Is the reason why the dialer is slow due to it having to load up every single time? Can we run "Dialer" the same way as "Home App in Memory"? Going back to the Home screen takes less than a second from any app that I may be using, at any time. Can you guys help me to make the same happen for Dialer? Ideas?
Thanks! Hope I am not the only one with this minor quirk.
The problem is that Wysie's Contacts (which is used in most of the roms out there) takes so long to load it's ridiculous. The only permanent fix would be to extract the original contacts app from one of the stock roms and push it to your phone. Of course you may lose certain features in the process.
That is to the best of my knowledge, anyway.
Try clearing your call log.

Ah, so it's Wysie's contacts app that is slow right? Hmmm... is there an .apk file for the original stock app? I think speed really is very important in this sense. I do not have to have all the fancy stuff if it slows down my ability to phone another person. Thanks for your suggestion.

It works, but for a while only (when the log grows longer then the lag comes back again). Thanks, this would be a temporary 'fix'.
It has to do with the gruoping. I don't have root any more so I can't check. See if you can turn the grouping off or if there is a way to auto clear the log. There are a lot of great features in that contact apk that make it a must.
Damn, I wish I could get root so I could have it back.
Can someone post the APK for Handcent 3.0 please? Thanks in advance.
I tried googling it, but I figured no one would have it up yet, since it was updated yesterday. Thanks again!
Pretty sure were not aloud to post or send .apks...
and I just updated Handcent, it's whatever to me.
I think you're not allowed to post unless it's free. I don't have google add-ons because I don't have a data plan. Thanks anyways :]

Once loaded... how can I disable the resident SMS from ALSO running at the same time?
Greetings.
As my title indicated, once I have installed Handcent, or even ChompSMS... how do I disable the original resident SMS program from ALSO running? When I ran it before on my Motorola Droid - 2.1.1 - I would not only get the SMS text reader that came with the device, but also the downloaded program app. Having both pop-up in the task bar was more of a distraction than a battery drain. What command, if any, is available to keep the resident one OFF, rather than have it turn on, too?

When running Handcent or ChompSMS - how do we...?!
Greetings!
I was wondering - when running either Handcent or ChompSMS... how do we DEselect or prevent the resident messaging app from also running - so we won't be getting TWO apps offering repeated messages...??
Android commander/Droid explorer or terminal to remove the apks. Keep a backup!
I cannot remember where I read this, but someone removed the original SMS/MMS app from autostart, and he did not receive messanges any more.
So turn off the notifications from the original SMS client is a good idea, removing or stopping it is not reccomendet.

Trillian for Android beta. It's really nice so far, been using it for a few days.
Most important thing to me is push notifications. While it doesn't indicate that it has push notifications, it most certainly does. In the settings make sure you check Push Email notifications and battery saving mode (this is how I have it configured). Don't worry, if you have Froyo you won't get any e-mails, it'll just push. I've tested it from another AIM app. On the home screen with the screen off I get IM's instantly every time I've tried it, with no e-mails. This is the first developer app I've personally seem that uses push.
It doesn't seem to poll or use the battery any. I've run it every day with AIM and Facebook chat and my spare parts doesn't show it using the battery and neither does my standard battery info section.
Seems pretty awesome so far. I haven't shut it off yet. Hopefully everyone else's experience is the same.
I've used trillian on my desktop for years, and I've had the beta on my since I got it back in August. The only gripe I have is that if you leave MSN running on your computer, and you sign in on Trillian from your phone, it wipes your display picture and your display theme.
** edit - n/m it loaded fine since I have Cognition/Rooted etc.
Looks awesome - have to see how the battery life is on the phone with it loaded.

Would you mind clarifying?
If I am using Froyo. Is push email not currently functional or you do not use the option? I would like to use this for email purposes.

I believe if you choose push email and have froyo you will just get push notifications when you get a message, you won't actually get an email.

is this using C2DM to push in 2.2 like Beejive is?

Yes, it appears to be using C2DM. I wasn't aware Beejive was using it though, but that's good. More developers need to get on board. Ideally the IM app should NEVER poll or communicate to the server in any way. Run it in the background but just so it opens quicker. Use Push to receive messages.
man thats the one thing I miss about my iphone was real push notifications.
Is Beejive any good compared to this? I currently use Meebo, but would love to try another messenger that supports push in 2.2
i'm using trillian, with legend 2.2. is it c2dm really works? because it's still appear in the running app. which mean still running in the background (also app still appear in the notification bar). i was thinking, if c2dm works well, this app shoud be not appear in the running app, right? should i must kill this app, to make c2dm works? (beside app not appear in the notification bar). please help me

No. It works. The icon in the notification bar is to remind you it's running and for easy access to the app. Don't mess with anything.
I wasted money on buying this app, just figured out, it was this draining my battery. about 6% an hour vs 1% with it off.

It's going to drain your battery having something polling for new messages if you aren't on Android 2.2 and have push enabled.
I was on 2.2 and now on 2.3, still drains regardless, push or not whatever...

That's like saying I breath air whether I'm awake or sleeping.
On my Captivate when I recieve a message it's never in order.
For example, I send a test text to a friend at 7:41. When he sends it back one minute later the text ends up behind mine (not in order) and the time recieved says 2:41am.
Is there something wrong that I'm missing? How can I fix this?

Use Handcent, it's free, totally customizable and works.

don't use auto time/date update
if you use the stock messaging app, try using handcent or chomp and see if it still does it.
