Nice!

I love mine. Ask if you have any questions. Not sure what to recommend, it depends what you want to do.

I like to have a file manager to move things around, rename files, open files, etc. I like Linda File Manager but Astro is also nice. Both are free in the market.

As long as its here by the time I get back I will be good. I didnt realize I was moving to the one side of town that doesnt have 3G and was gonna have to switch carriers.

My parents hot ass realtor came in and she had a X. She said it was too big lol. She was throwing it in her purse without a case on, I died a little inside.

xPETIEx · 08-04-2010, 01:03 AM

Thanks man. Like I said its my first droid/smart phone so Im sure my needs will grow the more I learn about what all can be done on it.

How do you go about putting self made ringtones on the phone for use?

**stonehenge** · 08-04-2010, 02:51 AM

Well there are apps like Zedge where you can browse and download ringtones for free.

Then there is Ringdroid. With that app, you can open any mp3 on your phone, crop out a section, and save it as a ringtone.

And if you already have the mp3 ringtone you want, put it in a folder named "ringtones" or" notifications" anywhere on your sdcard and android will find them.

Shoulda told her to stfu and give you the phone. Even trade for N1.

MikeH · 08-04-2010, 02:59 AM

Would rather wait for a new one the way she was throwing in her purse.

**stonehenge** · 08-04-2010, 03:36 AM

whata bish, how could she do such a thing

Yeh I have some made from older phones and stuff. I had a feeling it was something super easy... Hahah.

Do you have a link to a good noob guide to android/X by chance? Thanks again man.

This may seem weird but I don't know if Android will play midi files, so I hope they aren't THAT old lol. It will play mp3s and SHOULD play wav files and whatnot.

I don't think I've really seen a general noob guide but you can ask us anything if you run into any issues.

One big thing I can tell you is learn to embrace the longpress and the menu button. Both are super useful. If you want to do something and can't figure out how, try pressing menu or longpressing on the thing in question. Longpress is like right clicking on a computer and the menu key is like the File,Edit,etc menu at the top of every window.

Oh and if you want, you can get Tapatalk. It will allow you to read this forum on your phone and reply to threads without having to load the whole site in your browser. It's pretty useful.

Heres a 336 page PDF that goes over FroYo. Not really useful yet since the X is only on Eclair but will be once it gets the update.

They are in mp3 format and it worked perfectly man. Thanks again!

Im sure I will have more questions down the road tho...

**stonehenge** · 08-04-2010, 03:58 AM

Oh and I'm not sure how you feel about it but there are ways to acquire free apps. Up to you if you want to do that or not.

xPETIEx · 08-04-2010, 04:02 AM

Im not against free apps. Hahah. How do you acquire them? How do you load them after you download them?

**stonehenge** · 08-04-2010, 04:14 AM

There are several websites/blogs that have links to free apps. android-underground.com for example.

When you download an app, it comes in the form of an .apk file. That is pretty much like an "exe" on a windows computer. You put it on your sdcard and then open it using a file manager. It will then ask if you want to install, show you the permissions the app needs, etc just like when you install from the market. The only downside is that apps installed this way won't automatically update via the market, you'll have to go back to these sites and look for an update from time to time.

OH and before you do the above, go into your Settings > Applications and enable "unknown sources". This allows you to install .apk files.

Oh and Mike, does the rep mean that you liked the weather widget? Or just that it was a good attempt? lol

xPETIEx · 08-04-2010, 04:26 AM

Awesome! I have a feeling I'm going to be up super late tonight messing with this thing... Hahah. Im loving it so far tho.

**stonehenge** · 08-04-2010, 04:39 AM

Yeah, Android is fun. Quick question: How'd you end up at AOT?

xPETIEx · 08-04-2010, 05:08 AM

I started browsing and lurking on GMFS years ago. I finally came over to check out AOT after I saw it mentioned a few times.

I downloaded beautiful widgets. I like it a ton more than the stock weather setup.

I there an app that you know of off hand that you can set up your ringtones to cycle like a jukebox?

MikeH · 08-04-2010, 05:56 AM

I liked it Juan. Fancy Widget keeps growing on me tho and it hasnt given me any problems so Im gonna stick with it for a while. Plus I think it looks pretty damn good with my new wallpaper (looks better on the device)

Ah okay, i figured you came from one of the other forums.

I saw a ringtone randomizing app somewhere but I don't remember the name. Ill look for it.

**stonehenge** · 08-04-2010, 07:36 AM

Looks good Mike.

MikeH · 08-04-2010, 07:42 AM

That pic makes the wallpaper look like shit. It looks a lot better on the phone. It makes the icons and everything pop a little more.

There was an update for Root Explorer not sure if you saw it or not Juan.

"Attention: It is highly recommend that any Verizon Wireless Android device running on Android 2.1 do not perform a factory reset/ data wipe. If you do, you will lose your 3G data service and you will not be able to regain it. Reports of this issue have been swarming since yesterday. This has been replicated multiple times with the LG Ally, HTC Droid Eris, Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Incredible, and the Droid X. The only Verizon Wireless Android device not affected is the Motorola Devour. This information comes to me from a source within Verizon Wireless. I am told that the highest level technicians at VZW are absolutely puzzled about what is causing this. There is nothing wrong with Verizon’s system. There appears to be something internally wrong with the devices after performing such a reset. There is no way to reverse/correct this. I will hopefully have more confirmation of this from Verizon tomorrow morning. "

Here is the case I got, same seller even (pawavenue). In the video he says it is "Smoked" but that is the clear case. The smoked one is a lot darker. He is kind of annoying when he says blah blah blah so many times but it is a BAMF case.
