You need to sign in to the Vivo account in order to be able to change the launcher.

Whoa, that's big! They can just do that? 0_o
I'd just create a dud account with a garbage collecting email address (we all have one, right?). Do other default apps (messaging, phone, etc.) also have this limitation posed on them?
No, just the launcher. I've replaced the default phone app with Google Dialer, the email app with BlueMail, and the messaging app with NextSMS. They work fine as do their notifications. Some third party apps (like Google Messages) won't show a notification in the system tray if the phone is in system wide dark mode (they work in light mode) but that is a different issue from requiring Vivo's permission to replace the launcher, which requires them 'confirming' your account by email or text message by registering and signing into a Vivo account.

Version 1.3 of my Google Reader widget "Reader Widget Small" is up on the Market and my site. Changelog:
-Loading from cache when network is down fixed
-Dialog box shown when opened from Market after installation (it showed an error message before)
-Small performance tweaks
A quick word on the "Pro" version I'm working on. It can show unread count for a particular tag. Here's all the unread counts for the tags in my Reader account:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
All of those are configured independently.
v nice! if only the jf-mod would use 5 workspaces instead of 3...
Any chance clicking on the widget can open an arbitrary app (like Greed, or any of the other Google Reader apps), rather than opening the browser?

Funny you should say that. I've been chatting to one of the Greed devs and they actually suggested the very same thing! They should be able to expose something in Greed to make it possible. I don't know when and if it will happen but I'll keep posting here about it.
Ok This idea came to me earlier today, sense 2.1 roms (Speedy ports) have a recently used apps bar in the notifications menu. Well I found a better use for it,
Instead of seeing the app you just closed why not display common everyday apps? e.g. phone, flashlight, facebook, twitter, camera. See that way you don't have to run around your UI to find what you want, It's simply a drag and drop away

The con is this.
Making the apks run in a list and then closing (background) constantly may effect you wanting to see your recently used apps (The one where you just long press home button and it displays) those apps the first 4 or so will be which ever default you have set up. any way I'm seeking some help with this I'm not new but nor am I marinated in sense feature modifying.
Any one interested?
also My current method an apk that opens and closes each app seems to cause issues (obviously) so I'm seeking help in doing the proper system edit to get this Modification up and running.
Original thread
Alright, I've changed this before but I just can't remember how...
I have a page that is full of contacts that I access most often. I just recently changed the picture of a contact and, in order to update the pic on the contact shortcut that I made, I had to erase the old shortcut and add a new one after updating the contact pic. When I did this, however, it added a different type of contact icon than what I have set as all the others.
Here's a pic:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, the contact icon in the top middle is completely different than the rest. They used to all pop up like that but I've been able to change it in the past.
I'm running CM7 with Luncher Pro if that helps. I just want all the icons to look the same and I don't like the style that has popped up on there (I believe it's the default Android icon).
Any help is MUCH appreciated!
I'd also like to note that nothing else on my phone has changed since updating to CM7 several months ago and adding Launcher Pro....I was able to create all of the other contact shortcut icons with exactly the same phone setup as I still have.
How would I add stock messaging apk to a rom and delete the aosp one? My problem is I love the clean eclpise rom but it does not have the option of thread messaging. so i can send a text to my 5 buddys and it wont send out 5 seperate texts and i get 5 seperate replies.
I am certain there is a flashable zip or stock messaging apk you could use, but try just looking in the google play store. sometimes people repackage stock apps and put them on the google play store (for example I use the app "ICS Gallery").
Other than that, you could try SMS replacement apps such as GO SMS Pro, Handcent, or chompSMS. They offer the choices in how to implement group messaging. attached screenshot is from GO SMS Pro.

Can you not freeze the messaging application and just install the apk you want?

I cant find an apk , I tried one site but i get error when i try to flash the zip
It seems that AT&T removed the android SMS messaging app? If I text the tablet it gets the text as a notification in the AT&T AllAccess app, but I can not reply to it. Is there a way to get over this issue?
Thanks.
Just install another.
I did installed a few
but it tells me that the app has to be set as the default messaging app in order to work. I went through everything looking how to set it up as the default messaging app, but no dice.

When you get a message come through hit that message and you should be asked how you want to open it, select the app you wish to use and make it default.
It just doesn't happen
I click OK every time but the pop up stays there.
Which app is that, I'd try handcent or hangouts.
I tried Hangouts, GO SMS PRO, Messages+, SMSdroid, and ZERO SMS.
Handcent does not even install. It says that it is not compatible.
Maybe att modified the framework to prevent an app from simply being installed.
AT&T definitely did something. Messaging is locked on the AT&T AllAccess app as default and that does not allow to send texts.
I found the apk and tried handcent too. I keep clicking setup now, and the window reappears.
