GAH. I found the Mario one the first day I got the phone but I didn't download it and now I can't find it.

I just got a nice Eva Mendes one though.

If I want to move something to a different screen, I click and hold it (pinch, I think they call it) and I can drag (or use the direction thingy at the bottom of the phone between the menu/back keys) to where I want it.
Or, I can click the "+" button and add it to a home screen from the Programs or Widgets if it is not already there. The weather is a part of the Desktop Clock on mine.

HTC Aria, BTW.

Dutchmalmiss · 08-19-2010, 11:40 AM

Hey Mel, weatherbug is a good app if you wanna be minimal and just have the temp reading off the top notification bar.

*exitspeed* · 08-19-2010, 11:52 AM

I figured it out. It's a widget. I got it on there now.

**Phlip** · 08-20-2010, 06:36 PM

Is ANYONE using Fennec (FireFox Mobile) on their Android phones?
I wanted to know if it was worth the effort before I try it out

Karlitos · 08-20-2010, 06:55 PM

I just switched to android. I had a samsung blackjack 2 on ATT prepaid and i needed a plan with unlimited everything that wouldnt cost me much a month since i gotta pay for college now.
I got boost mobile motorola i1, and i gotta say its better than prepaid but sucks compared to the iphone 3gs that my friend has. Its running FW1.5 so idk what 2.1 and 2.2 are. Internet speeds on WiFi are quick but if im in an area without wifi but have 5 bars the internet is slow as a snail.
So im better off than i was before but it isnt what i expected because they told me it was a competitor to the iphone, which it isnt. I shouldve gotten a 'text' phone that has the apps i need but oh well, hopefully we get the updates aswell.

EDT007 · 09-24-2010, 09:34 AM

Just downloaded the froyo (2.2) update for my droid x. For the most part everything appears to be the same. Web pages seem to load a bit quicker and of course the flash helps. Testing on my work domain to see if the exhange quirks have been worked out. Will keep everyone updated.

SimpleS14 · 09-26-2010, 04:09 PM

I like the Droid X, but this will most likely be my first and last Motorola Android phone if they continue to use the locked bootloader. I updated to Froyo, and now a week later my phone is bricked. I have to wait for a replacement, so I'm out of a phone for two days. =/

It sucks that I can't add a custom ROM and I have to hope the Moto ROM is leaked in case something like this happens again.

TravisSW · 09-26-2010, 05:40 PM

Lovin my Droid 2!

slider2828 · 09-28-2010, 04:19 PM

Unlocked Galaxy S i9000 Froyo still is smoking out there....

Thats all I gotta say lol....

Tae-Hyun · 09-28-2010, 04:33 PM

i have the HD2 with Tmobile and it freakin SUCKS!

til i rooted Android using MDeeJays Sense 1.5 Revolution rom.

Its b-e-a utiful!

slider2828 · 09-29-2010, 10:19 AM

The Vibrant is nice on TMobi from what I heard AND you guys get 2 free Vibrants or something like that? Sense is up to 2.0 right?

Vibrant uses touch flo . Its actually not bad but Sense UI users tend to prefer sense. HTC does Sense UI. Both go on top of the Android base. Of course if you get a new HTC mytouch slide comes with 2.1 and sense UI or the HTC EVO it comes wtih 2.1 with sense UI.

Vibrant comes with 2.1 . Honestly do not buy any Android phone unless it comes with 2.1. Oh and most phones coming with 2.1 will be upgradable to Froyo automatically.

Still debating getting a Vibrant or waiting for the dual core HTC.

SimpleS14 · 09-29-2010, 06:04 PM

The new G2 is looking mighty fine!

I wish more phones came out with stock Android OS.

Kaizen. · 10-04-2010, 02:53 PM

Im really thinking about trading my vibrant for a g2! I miss my g1 keyboard =/

MikeC · 10-04-2010, 03:52 PM

Pretty much how I feel about my Droid X. I had mine rooted on 2.1 and themed. I had to take the theme off and unroot the phone just to update the phone. Then it wouldn't finish the update to 2.2 so I ended up having to flash a stock 2.1 .sbf with RSD Lite.

I was spoiled with my Droid. I was rooted and had used a ton of custom ROMs, it was overclocked, I could use programs like Titanium Backup and Wifi Tether. All without worrying about Motorola's crap Blur bricking my phone during an update and trying to charge me for wifi tether. Booooooooo. I'll probably buy a HTC phone next. I think I'm done with Motorola.

omgshawn · 10-04-2010, 10:52 PM

Just got a Droid Incredible a couple days ago, love it so far. Only complaint would be battery life >_< and it has frozen once or twice but I was throwing a lot at it lol. It also came with a 2gb sd card which is cool

slider2828 · 10-05-2010, 12:15 AM

Yeah Froyo for the ATT Captivate is flawless, unlock codes roll over for 2.1 and I can watch everything online like Fox.com, espn3 etc etc... its awesome....

Also doubled Linpack scores and its only been out for 3 days and root, roms, sideloading are already all out...Root came out like in 2 hours of the unofficial release.... Its awesome!!!!!

Yeah this is an early release android..... Its a complete rebuild of the kernels and everything! I mean everything looks different and so much more awesomer....

forum.xda-developers.com

Look for captivate and then the development thread. Its right there...

Also BEFORE you update 2.2, make sure you go to the market and get SGS unlocker to get your unlock codes and email it to yourself... Good idea to copy everything off your internal sd.....

slider2828 · 10-05-2010, 11:02 AM

Well... Skype is officially on Android now... Market and DOWNLOAD NOW!!!! Galaxy S users(Vibrant, Epic, Captivate) must be on 2.2.....

In case you guys never heard of it try: Firefox to phone or chrome to phone....

USAGE:
Have a webpage, map, or something to read on your browser, but damn you need to like LEAVE NOW OUT THE DOOR!!! Beam that webpage directly to your cell and open it..... Pretty cool I gotta admit

Firefox

Meh, I'll wait... I'm bad with hacking and shit and I don't feel like bricking my phone. Froyo is scheduled to come out for real in the middle of this month anyway.

Bumpy!

I purchased a HTC Hero. I dig it. Rooted, running CM6. Its smoother than a baby's insides. So snappy and quick.
