Look up how to install APKs via Astro File Manager. Once you have that set up, you can easily install APKs without dealing with adb.
how do you bring up the command box for the screen calibration

Working good on my Captivate.
One concern: How do I take off the "minus" marks on the app icons that lets us delete apps right from the home screen (the screen we get when we click on the home button).
I see this as a security risk. I have app protector pro. But then, we can just delete the app protector pro in this mode without even asking for any password or anything, and all my apps are open for everyone to use.
Could anyone please help me take off this option to quick uninstall apps from home screen.
This thread is a joke, right?
wow just great now this post with almost the exact same title as the rom post will get me confused which is which from now on

Nope. I am serious. So far I realized that unless a person knew how to mod a Captivate, he didn't know how to access protected apps. But now, even a layman can just delete the 'app protector pro' and access all the apps that are supposed to locked by it.

You do know that once you rooted your phone, anyone with a little knowledge can do much more than simply delete apps... just don't lose your phone or give it to an iphone buddy who might wonder what the neat little thingys on your screen do
Bye. What launched are you using that you see this in.... and deleting an icon from your home screen does not uninstall it on any that I have used

Not the icon. Like when u press the home icon, u can see all the apps present on ur device. For user installed apps, u can see a small "minus" in a circle on the right top of app icon, just like in iphone when u go to edit mode. click on that, and it will uninstall the app.

Another possible solution is to install another launcher that dosen't have uninstall in the application tray or doesn't work at this time (my LG Optimus below) and use root explorer to remove the two launcher and reboot.

Others have already pointed this out, but what you need to do is dl and install a different launcher from Market and then uninstall the TWLauncher. Problem solved.
Just because TWLauncher is the default in Cog 2.4.1 doesn't mean that you have to use it. Get another launcher. Or you could try never letting your phone out of your sight...

I was about to tell you a very easy way to get ADBwireless on there without having the Market working first, but since you're not interested...
No, i do not have an explanation. However, if you will cool down and breathe a moment, we'll try to help.
First... nine hours....take a break. Frustration is the enemy.
Second, can you download the apk for adb wireless and sideload it. This would be the easiest.
If that fails..then search on the forums for the thread about getting adb working.

Ok, I was browsing the other SGS forums like I usually do and I stumbled across this. So I downloaded it and was surprised just how fast it was.
I have alot of images saved on my phone. From my theming stuff.
This gallery loaded all of them in under 15sec. My original gallery took around 2min to do the same. Anyway check it out.
I take no credit as I didnt create it, I simply found it. I will upload link to original poster if/when I can find it again... I know it came from i9000 gingerbread leak.

I don't know if this is happening to others, but when I open an image then hit the back button, instead of taking you back to the gallery it closes the gallery. It does load a bit quicker.

Im pretty sure this is the same one that's included in.the comm rom. I.have about 500mb of wallpapers on my sdcard and they load in about 5 seconds with both of them.

Weird, but it actually seems slower to load than before. But does anyone know if the old Gallery let you set a specific lockscreen wallpaper separate from the homescreen wallpaper(long press image-more-set as)? If so, I never noticed. If not, cool new option!
Edit: reboot helped speed a lot.
Edit 2: Set as lockscreen wallpaper doesn't seem to work... So as far as cool new option goes, not so much.

you need to reboot your system after making that change. Assuming you are running a .32 kernel, the build.prop change WILL work.

Not at all. That is set elsewhere. Regardless of what your device think's its model is (HTC vision or Nook), it knows its resolution is 1024x600. There is no database relating specific model strings to specific screen resolutions.

How did you get it to work? I tried and could not get it to work. I'm wondering if I'm taking some of this too literally. I used Root Explorer and changed to this:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Should I remove the "HTC <space>" that is in front of Vision on the ro.product.model line and leave it simply as:
ro.product.model=Vision
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link. I had already downloaded it and was migrating it over to my device when you replied. I tried it and get an error notification when I try to install it. I even tried using Astro and AndroZip to locate and install it since the standard installation app didn't do it. I was able to do it with other apps, but am running into a snag.
The only issue I'm suffering is that Netflix, while it playing audio/video, sounds like The Chipmunks on crack by playing at 2x-3x speed instead of standard. Any ideas on these questions.

hi again. what error are you getting? That will help us get to the bottom of your troubles.

It's not even installing. There's no install prompt like in most sideloaded apks. I don't get it. My friend got it to work on his Nook Color, but I'm stumped. I hhave wiped the cache and then uninstalled Netflix, then sideloaded the version on my Droid 2 running Liberty 2.0 and it even updated from the market. Each time I try it I get the 2x-3x speed issue. I will log on from my laptop and try to copy the exact error I get later.
Again, thanks for your help.

Any ideas on rooting it? Thank you..
