Lurker Looking For Help On Programs And Other Stuff

Well i have lurked for a while but finally posted as i am really struggling. I have a orange branded kaiser tilt, i have installed,Home Customizer and swapped the clock but everything else is still above me,there a couple of things id like help with if anyone can preferably free as i am kinda skint after buying my kaiser >< ? Listed below many thanks:
On the main kaiser screen i have got contacts and calendar i want to get rid of calendar and swap it for something else is this possible ? .
A good wifi app that will show me unsecured hot spots that i can jump onto when out and about ? Just installed WIFIFOFUM2 but it doesn't allow you to connect the the hot spots ?
A method of swapping the kaiser menu so that the 4 square thing were you can put your fav contacts to something else or make it so when i click it it brings up the text or call thing instead of just ringing them ?.
And anyone got any other suggestions of apps i should install ? id like to totally customize my home screen but i am really not sure on how to do it ?
I know most of these questions have probably been asked before but i struggled to find them in search so any help appreciated many thanks

You have got to be kidding! Everything you asked has been repeatedly asked and answered. Why do some many of you people think you have just asked the most original, brilliant question. Search some more. Read and be educated. Stop being such a lazy a$$.

I fully understand your anger but its what to put into the search box to bring up the result i am after that is what i am having difficulties with anyone care to enlighten me ?

I'm not angry at all. Just perplexed at the lazy people who come on the forum and ask the same questions over and over again.
Use the link in my signature, below. It is a better way to search the site. Then get creative in your search terms.
For example, if you want to know about changing the calendar then type in terms like- replace calendar bottom of screen- and you will get this, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=replace+calendar+bottom+of+screen&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Try that a little and I am sure will get the knack for it.
Of course, please read the stickies and the Wikis.

1. Schaps advanced config<< look in the link in my sig.
2. wififofum << put that in your search and you'll find it.

The new iPhone is out and I think it might be a perfect fit for you. Then, you can go to an iPhone forum and post interesting questions!
Or, you can keep your phone and learn how it works by reading and playing with it???
The only thing I can suggest that you install on it is a search application. MSN and Google make one that is easy to install and you can find the Google App here:

Save some Christmas $$$ Barcode Scanning [App]

Initially accidently posted this in the Diamond forum...
Happy Holidays.
After reading a post here or in another forum I stumbled across a program called BARCORAMA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
Its a program that lets you scan UPC barcodes with your camera and then goes out to the internet to let you find the lowest price online for that item...already saved me quite a bit...and made shopping feel sortof fun for once...fealt like a spy..LOL
Works Awesome on my touch Pro...strangely seems to work better when I zoom to 2x and take the picture than when im in close

looks sweet will try it out in 30 mins @ lunch time!!!

I got the app working great on a touch pro.
Except I changed the default to pop open skyfire for the browser, and also piped it into Google shopping search engine, rather than just google. B/c in shopping it already shows the prices and places to buy.
Neat app! Thanks. Minor suggestion, offer the ability to put a path for the images and / or a way to name it when you shoot the UPC.

What URL did you use to make it use Google Shopping search engine?

I'm not really sure what you mean by this. My search is
http://www.google.com/search?q=!###!
did you add the +100... in that string? Sorry for the silly question, and thanks for the help if you can answer.

open the app, go into settings and hit the right arrow until you see the google address. then replace the word "search" with "products"
EDIT: works well. i zapped every item on my desk at work and it found them all.

LOL...no, sorry for the misunder standing. I was trying to add credability to the other guys post of pointing it to google shop instead of just google. I wanted to just put +1 as in I am also wanting this, but you have to have 10 characters to make a post.

mine is not working everything i scan says no barcode i have the pro and question what is it suppose 2 say for program 2 run

does anybody have an idea of why its not working

Zoom in to 2.0 on the camera and try again.

still not working do i have 2 upgrade the rom 2 use this program

is there a cab file for this? or how do install this to my phone? just use sync and drag and drop it into my program files??

yeah I found Standing further away from the barcode and doing a 2.0 Zoom really helped...I make the barcode fill the screen and make sure its sharply focused before taking the picture...
...In terms of how to install...i created a folder called Shopping in my Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and dropped the EXE file in there...You will then see the folder in your Windows/Programs area....i put it in its own folder because it saves each barcode where the program is installed and i didnt want them in my programs menu.

Yeahh....I found a new way to kill time and kill my battery...lol
I've run out of things to scan around the house.
I now know the best prices of everything in my work place...lol
I even depressed a few when I showed them better prices......
Walmart thinks I'm a spy...lol....had to turn of the sounds while taking pictures of barcodes....Security was confused too.....
This really is an achievement! Thanks to the creator of Barcorama.....

To change to shopping in google
The above poster is right, just change search, in the http string to product and that's it. Then it shows you a listing of prices and locations, pretty slick.
As for the person not getting it to work, it won't work if you're megapixels is set to 3MP, I dropped mine down to 1MP and that did it for me.

More things to scan
Hey noellenchris, don't forget all your cd's and coffee table books, or IT books....
I even scanned a can of Progresso soup and it found it. Crazy.

Keep your phone upright when you take the picture. I found if I turned the phone sideways and took the picture, it would not find the barcode. Keep the phone straight up and down when you take the pic.

I changed my camera to take a picture on Touch instead of Touch and Press. Right after it autofocuses, it'll take the picture. Getting much better results this way since when I would use Touch and Press, when I would press to take the picture, my hand would move.

how to create a tab for tf3d?

greetings
how can i modify or create a tab for tf3d,
create a clock?
where i can find that info?
or is somebody wants to teach me
thanks

have you tried using the search bar to find your answers???

yes
and all i can find is some app you can do something pre-defined
i want to know how i can modify it at will
no just some pre-define tabs

Hey Dadiio,
I myself am unsure. However, a developer here on XDA has created a tab for standard windows mobile plugins (I believe it is called MTP). You may want to search that term on XDA and PM the developer of that plugin. Keep in mind you will probably need some significant programming/coding experience.

thanks
let me see
i am a software developer since 1993
but my experience is more on database app

Awesome , since you are an experienced developer, it won't really matter if you have to brush up on a bit of syntax, you have the ability to write a piece of software, regardless of the language. If it was me, I'd try to convince him to lend you his source code as a starting point . I do know that his program keeps an app open in memory for his particular functionality (which is very useful if you use touchflo 3d, I don't due to the battery drain).
Give the guy a shout and see what he says...good luck!

ok
i tried to find the "MTP"
but i don't get nothing
if you can help me i will appreciate it
thanks

Change "Notes" Application on dialer

Hi to you all. I wonder if anyone could help me, as i can´t find any help on older threads. On dialer there´s a button "Note". During call, if clicked, take us to, i guess, standard WM Notes application. How can i change this shortcut to Screenwriter or Apmemo?
Thanks,

C´mon guys this is not a hard one I suppose. Or is? Regards.

lol or look through reg @ phone settings mind you i think it's hardcoded "but could be wrong"
New htc song plays in background while placed on hold

You both are not helping at all. I read somewhere that the spirit/goal of this forum is not that kind of behavior.
I don´t need standard notes at all. I think that if i can find the executable and the parameters of the link on the button, i can replace it with a shortcut or even a mortscript.
Anyway thanks for your reply as now i know you both can´t help.
Regards.

Um so the look through the reg for phone doesn't help?
It's not going to be a .lnk and as previously stated the button will most probably be hardcoded.
Looking throu reg finds nothing also i doubt another software would follow the default format of note.
So my hunch says no you cant.

I can´t find a clue on registry. Thanks Stylez.

Android Studio coding help needed

Hi, firstly I just wanna say I'm completely new to android studio & coding. I recently began building my first app & feel like my head is gonna explode
I've tried searching online for an answer to my question but couldn't find anything related, so I thought I'd post it here and see if any of you guys could help me out.
So I spent all of last night trying to create a splash screen and login page for my app, which I still haven't completed but thought I'd get ahead of myself and prepare for the next steps and potential issues I could encounter.
I want to create a circle image next to people's names which they can click and change with a different image (not on their phones device but within the app) just a simple image such as the letter from A-Z which are different colours. I have no idea how to do this or if it is even possible? Sorry if I am not explaining myself clearly but any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
