Just now via FriendCaster for Android - Motorola Droid Bionic

When you post to facebook from an app like FacebookForAndroid or Friendcaster, they add that tag saying "Sent from blah blah".
Could I possibly change what that says to what I want it to?
If so, how would I go about doing that?
If its XML editing, what XML program would you recommend?

This is a super cool idea! Bump...

Synchronizing Google Bookmarks with android bookmarks

....as the title says, is it possible?
I don't think there is. I wish they'd add that ability along with the ability to sync notes to there as well. Considering, both are part of the "Notebook".
Then again, I don't think Chrome even has this ability yet.
I agree... but im not using Chrome just using firefox with GMarks
The only way I know of so far is to download My Bookmarks from the market and export your google bookmarks then import them using My Bookmarks
If you have a rooted device you can edit the browser.db file...
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db "SELECT * FROM bookmarks;"

You will need to write an app who adds/sync's your bookmarks to your device.

Thanks for this! I was wondering where these were stored, and thinking about maybe writing a quick xmarks importer.

Thinking??? You should definitely do that, I would actually pay money for an app that can synchronize my xmarks to my g1
Sycning Google bookmarks with android is possible with http://www.gettransmute.com/android/
As far as syncing xmark(foxmarks) with android there was someone working on some code but he never finished. I think the code is on his site if someone else wants to give it a try.

Yup, that would be a $2.99 app if I ever saw one.
The latest Chrome builds have bookmark sync inbuilt, i bet integrated Android bookmark sync is right around the corner..
Currently they use your Google Account to host a Google Docs document containing the information about your bookmarks.
Reviving this thread
Amazing that two years later there is still no android <-> chrome bookmark sync...
A newer app that seems to handle this reasonably well (I am not affiliated): ChromeMarks

How to: Get notified the instant the Facebook app hits

So, I'm sick of having to check the market every five seconds, and figured it'd be nice to get notified via SMS..so I figured out a way to accomplish this.
I made a Yahoo Pipes(pipes.yahoo.com) feed that checks the latest app RSS feed from androlib.com and filters for "Facebook" in the title of an app. Then I'm having notify.me send me an sms(you can do email or IM, or all 3 if you'd like) everytime that feed is updated.
Only drawback is you'll get an SMS everytime any market app is introduced with the word "facebook" in the title, but I'm going to disable this ones the official app comes out anyways.
Here's my pipe feed: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=060b1d26741c96a19bc3397604e13823&_render=rss
Just enter that in when it asks for you at add content, under add a feed manually.
Also, keep in mind, I haven't really tested any of this.
Haha... this is hilarious. Lets just hope they dont' name the app "omgfbook for realz" in the mark or you might be out of luck.

I'm not exactly sure what you're wanting here but how's this?
Create an invoice template in Word format on computer.
Copy it to the phone.
Use Polaris Office to edit the template and create individual invoices.
You can then use the app below to create PDF files from your Word invoice. I've not tried the app myself so no promises.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.thinkti.android.wordtopdf
wordtopdf requires internet connection to convertion to pdf
You can try "Smart Office 2" it seem it do not require internet connection.
There are actual invoicing apps on Play that allow you to design, create, and track your invoices.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks guys for your reply's....
what it is, is that i have a invoice template which is saved on my computer, and every sunday i need to fill it in and e-mail it to people.
but at the moment, its just a microsoft work document, can i simply transfer that to my phone? and will i be able to open it up on my phone and fill it out? then send it via email?
Yeah, no problem to just edit and email a Word doc with Polaris Office.

i've just tried the polaris office, copied my invoice template across from my computer to my phone, then went into my GMail, went to 'attach' and my only option is camera or screen capture.
so how do i get my invoice?
ignore that last message, just noticed i have to send it via polaris.
thanks alot guys, think i got it sorted now.
No worries. Glad you're sorted.

I know this is a long shot BUT......
is there a way i can keep my invoices which i'll be filling out on my note, synchronised with the computer, so i can keep track on either computer or phone?

Best option would be to use dropbox ( if cloud storage is ok ) to sync with pc . Nothing syncs better. U can also get dropsync app to have physical copies of the files in a specific folder in the phone.
If u dont like ur files to be in cloud, u can use a wifi file syncing app like cheetah sync

If you use dropbox on your computer and your note then you can synchronize the folder containing the invoices.

Dropbox is fab. There are phone and pc apps. Put your invoices in the folders and the sync from one to the other.
If you use this link http://db.tt/APjkjZp I get a bit more storage

Sorry, bit slow there.
Cheers guys i totally forgot about dropbox,
and to the person that sent the link so he'll get extra storage, sorry mate i already have bropbox installed on note and computer.
but thanks again.
You can use google drive also. Sync time is quite faster.

How to save pictures?

Has anyone figured it out? I have had my first ever since it came out and I am confused on how to save pictures. I have tried opening them in the messaging app it won't save on there i open it on messenger and messaging it comes up with the save picture pop up I click it and then it says there was an error. Hopefully someone has figured this out.

I installed GoSMS just for that. When someone sends me a picture I want to save, I go open the message in GoSMS and save it there. It's not elegant (or even logical), but it works.

Have you figured out to get custom ringtones on here? I tried phonezoo the way i used to make ringtones for all my previous phones doesn't work.

Just take any MP3 you want and drop it in the Ringtones folder. Also, check out Zedge. Tons of ringtones for free from there, and a great selection of good stuff.

[HOW TO] Manually invoke send text template

Hey guys,
I made a little discovery today while attempting to figure out a way to send native SMS messages on the gear.
What I discovered is a way we can manually invoke the text template popup to any specified number, this can be useful if you want to save various text templates in gear manager and would like to actually send them, rather then only just use them to reply with.
At the moment the only way to preform the intent is using tasker or adb shell, this is more a educational post for those of you who would be considered advanced users can possibly make it a little more user friendly !
Perhaps someone can code a simple app with a contact list so that we can send text templates, @st-tps I'm talking about you
SHELL COMMAND:
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider/com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider.TextTemplateListActivity -e phone_number 0401010101
*NOTE* Replace "0401010101" with the desired destination number.
I will also include a tasker example once I make one.
Happy hacking.
I´m definitely up for the challange.
I´ll try to get something running as soon as I get some time to look at it.
Another interresting thing is the /data/data/com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider/databases/texttemplate.db wich stores the Templates. If we find a way to edit the db we could actually write what message we want to the db, then open the dialog and chose the newly created message and send it to what number we want. I´we got some ideas about this, I´ll try em out as soon as I get your shell commands working.
That is about how close we can get to native SMS right?

Oh thats awesome, didn't realize the templates were stored there..
If we can edit the database, We would have a kind of working solution, although I really want to figure out how to send custom text. Rather to relying on the templates.
Also another thing I havnt figured out yet tho is how we can pull the contacts from the phone, it doesn't look like there stored on the gear anywhere that I have found anyway. It seems there pulled from the host phone everytime the contacts app is executed.

My plan is to make it something like this:
Start app, choose recipient and write the message. The message is added to an local texttemplate.db file with only that row. When you press Send, the original texttemplate.db file is renamed, the local one is pushed to the directory, the Reply Dialog opens with only one option (The message you recently created) select the message and it gets send away, the "one row" .db is then deleted and the original one got it´s real name back...
If this works, nothing gets f**ked up by changing in the real .db file. This only my thoughts so we will see if I manage to achieve it...
The contact name and phone number for recieved messages and missed calls are stored in NotificationSync.db in the table SyncNotiInfo and in fields mMainText and mPhoneNumber. I assume that info is used when replying to messages.

i get my contacts through google contacts after tethering with my phone.
the problem with 'stock' contacts was that it took ages to load (i guess it's synchronized everytime you open the app) and most contacts are missing on my list due to custom label (instead of just 'mobile' i use labels like AT&T).
Here comes a real early beta (More like an alpha) of NativeSMS, the most fancy about it may be the progress bar at launch
What it does: list all your contacts (If you´we sometimes synced with Google Contacts that is) that´s got a phone number attached to it, tap a contact and wait until the template box appears, select template and click send.
What it doesn´t do: Sort the contacts alphabetically. Save the list until next appstart. Create own messages.No fancy icon yet.

A excellent start ! Works perfectly fine.. for a first release doesn't look bad cosmetically either !
Bravo.
st-tps, i installed nativesms, it gave me an error sub:main_activity_resume (java line: 318) java.lang.nullpointerexeption, because i didnt have the people app installed.
Might want to put some kind of check to see if the app is installed.

Great idea, perhaps just throw out a relevant error
"People app was not found, please reinstall rom", also I found you can share contacts via bluetooth which is great... I dont use GAPPS so I've transferred over my "favourites" ! Nice and easy.

No it does not. You must have a contacts database & contacts application in order to use this.

I´ll certainly do, good point.
I´ll put in a check for com.android.provider.contatcs in the create part of the Activity, if OK - Load contacts, if NOK - Message box about missing app and then exit.

Small update, I´we done some tests regarding editing the db file, very unsuccessfull..
Pulled the original db to computer and did the edit.
Try 1: Delete all rows but one and sent back to Gear - App FC when the Dialog would show
Try 2: Only did minimal changes, editet first row only - App FC when the dialog would show
Try 3: Edit one row only, and renamed the journal file aswell, the only valid file in directory is the edited db wich opens fine in Root Browser - App FC when the Dial would show.
Anyone got ideas what´s causing the Template send FC?

Nope, permissions and owner is the same..
The only difference is that the original db file got a journal file attached to it.
Will try to copy both the db and the journal to computer, edit and then push them both back.

Hmm, I think we need to dig a little deeper.. perhaps figure out how the JSON requests are being sent to phone and generate our own.
Try to unravel the SDK one line of code at the time.

Yeah, I´ll pull the APK and decode it, then I start the search for something usefull.
I would be awesome if we could put the Message as extra content to the intent, just like the phone_number
