[Q] Question about texting - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an EVO with Sprint and I am thinking of getting a Tab. I am assuming that the Tab will just add an additional line to my current account, but what I was wondering is it possible to "link" by EVO and Tab together for things like texting? It would be great if I could have text messages sent to my main phone number (EVO) but still have them show up on my Tab and be able to respond to them from there if I am using it at the time. If this can't be done directly through Sprint are there any apps that can do something similar to this?
Does anyone also know if since I already have a data plan for my EVO if I need a different plan for the Tab on Sprint?
Thanks,
-Eric

Develop Tabs

This may be a really stupid question, but is it possible to create a tab for practically anything? I know they have updated the Weather Tab in the Touch HD to pull more weather data, and there is also the stock tab where you can get stock info right from the tab. My question is if these tabs can be formatted to show anything from an internet source or feed. For example sports scores or news. I've seen this in Bell's UI for the TP, but is it possible to do if you can find the right source? I don't know how to program and wouldn't be able to do this, I was just throwing it out there as a question to see if its possible. Thanks!
does anyone have any ideas on this?
yeah I'm quite interested in this also.. i was thinking facebook or messenger tab?

Car dock type app?

I did some looking around today, to no avail. Im looking for an app that I can use while driving that has quick links to music, calls, gps, etc. I found like 1, but it was really really ugly. Has anyone seen anything like this?
I just want something so that I dont have to navigate all the way through my phone while driving.
Search the Market for Captivate and there is a free one from Samsung called "Car Home"
Youre my hero. Ive never done that, I didnt know samsung had any device specific apps. Thank you very much for the fast response =]
I can't find this for the life of me, and tried various ways to search for it in the market.
I just cant seem to get it.
maybe its AT&T restricted?
does anyone have the apk for this?
FYI i'm using an Australian Telstra Sim, and stock JH7 AT&T

[Q] Porting HTC EVO 4G apps to Droid

Hi
Excuse me. I'm new to all this. Just wondering if someone can help me or at least point me in the right direction.
I rooted my Droid and install CM7. with chevyno1 kernel. i like it and everything runs smooth. Except, I don't like the email app and the phone app that are in CM7. and don't like any of the ones in the market. the best apps I liked are the HTC evo stock email and phone apps.
I extracted them from my brother's evo but now how can I install them on my Droid CM7? is there a way to do that? or has anyone done that before?
I googled the net for hours but can't find an answer!
thank you.
HTC apps are proprietary. As in, they are made for HTC phones. I doubt it can be ported, and if it can, its probably infringes on patents or copyrights or something like that.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Thank you.
so can anyone at least point me to a rom that has similar features of the HTC's phone and email apps.
for example on the phone app:
- ability to search a name by typing part of the name on the num. key pad.
& on the email app:
- ability to search emails in the inbox.
- ability to sort emails.
- ability to MOVE emails to other folder.
again, I don't want to download and install crap from the market. because i tried alot of them but none can completely solve the issue and provide what im looking for . plus they add a load on the droid. I want a native built-in ROM app.
thanks for any help.

[Q] Customizing the "Phone" app

Hello All,
I have just recently made the move from iphone 4 to Android. Galaxy Note is my first ever android phone and i must say i am impressed. Everything is working the way i want it to except one thing that just bugs the hell out of me.
I am still new to android so my phone is pretty default, meaning i have not modified any of the core things or in iphone terms, "jail-broken" it. I am currently on the 2.3.6 version of Android.
Now, the app that allows me to make phone calls, named "Phone" is giving me an inconvenience. The menu bar that has "Keypad", "Logs", "Contacts" and so forth is at the very top of the phone. The Galaxy Note being a rather big phone, requires me to stretch my thumb on either hand in order to reach it.
Is it possible to move that menu bar to the bottom of the phone instead of the top?
A friend of mine told me i'd be able to adjust it if i'm on ICS, can anyone who is currently running ICS confirm that?
Thank You In Advance,
Good Day
Yep, just be patient!

Custom Text notification soundbytes for Contacts

Hi... I am pretty sure this is a general Samsung Galaxy line question, but I own the FE so I hope it's OK that I post my question here. A couple of years back Samsung removed the ability to pick a custom text notification soundbyte for numbers in your Contacts (the setting was in CONTACTS, just under the ability to pick a custom ringtone for CONTACTS. It upset a lot of folks (certainly I'm one of them), and I know there are several posts out there on other sites to this effect. Is there is anything that can be done? I didn't see any question/answers on this topic in XDA so far, but I'm hoping (praying) that someone here knows of or has a fix to remedy this? Samsung eventually did eventually put in a way to put a custom soundbyte to "Conversations" in the "Messages" text app but it's not the same thing. If a person has a one on one conversation with a contact, then this option for Samsung works fine. But if that same person becomes part of a group text, then the custom soundbyte does not work/apply since that contact is now in a different conversation. (It DID work the old way before Samsung dropped it). I'm told there "was" an app that solved this problem ("there's an app for everything"), but I can't find it and it may have been discontinued. Anyone know of a way to do this again? An app or Mod? Please? Calling Samsung on this issue is an exercise in futility, since the reps that answer don't always much more that the scripts they are provided. Thank you all in advance
