If I root my SGR -- what will happen, exactly? Aside from getting superuser permissions and thus being able to run a few more things than the average user, like Titanium Backup. Once I root it, is there anything I can do to improve its performance or battery life? I observe that these two...

So what are some of your favorite apps for the SGR -- and why? You can leave games off as those are pretty subjective. Some of the things that are indispensable to me are: Astrid to-do list & manager Handcent SMS for better texting Evernote for offloading things from my brain Pulse to...

I'd like to get some more insight on the behavior of fonts on the SGR. I would like to install some fonts that are .apk files -- but where do these go when they are installed, so I can remove them if I end up not liking them? No sense in taking up room with stuff I'm not using. I saw in...

I would like to change the font used on my SGR -- I can't believe that Helvetica is the only clean sans font they provided. Anyway, I have some I'd like to try; they are in .apk format. As I understand it, I have to copy those to my phone and then execute them. Then the new fonts should...

Currently the three icons at the bottom of my SGR are Phone, Internet and Camera. I'd like these to be different apps. How can I change this?

I've got Harmonia 1.6.1c installed on my OV, and although it functions okay, I have this annoying problem. That is that I can install apps only about 10-20% of the time. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't. I'm thinking that Harmonia is the problem because I started having this issue...

what's the best contacts manager you've found for use on your Optimus V? I've used the stock one for about a year now but find that it doesn't let me filter my contacts as to what Google Group they're in. That is, I have my contacts grouped in the web version of the google contacts manager...

hey there -- hope your holidays are going well. I'd like to hear some recommendations for camera apps to use on my OV. I posted about this once before, a long time ago;p I can't find that thread. I'd pulled CameraAdvance out of that list. The app worked find, but it is not at all...

how much different is Gingerbread from Froyo anyway? I have an OV running Android 2.2, and I'm thinking about getting my wife a Slider for Yule this year. She really likes the keyboard, hates Swype, and I want to know how much of a technical support headache I'm setting myself up for before I...

thanks to some stellar help on this forum, I've installed Harmonia 1.3 on my OV. I'm pretty pleased with the space it's given me, but there's a problem -- I can't install apps any more. After doing the ROM, I used TB to restore my apps. That went fine. I reinstalled some of the stock...

I can't seem to update any application now. I've installed Harmonia 1.3, I did it rigbht this time and did not restore system data. I used Titanium Backup to put things back on my phone; that went okay. I installed a few apps just fine. All of a sudden, though, when I go to the Market and...

I've finally installed Harmonia on my phone -- I'm running v1.3 right now. I can't install one specific application, now. I want to reinstall Where, as I used it a fair bit before I switched ROMs. I downloaded it, tried to install, was told the package file was invalid. I retried several...

I just made a complete backup of my OV using Titanium backup. The backup always goes slick and smooth. In then installed the Harmonia 1.3 ROM. That went fine, though it was a little disconcerting to be returned to a "bare" phone after having used it for so long. But it's all good, I made...

anyone using google Chrome to Phone extension? I can't seem to make it work after following the directions. The browser part just sits there and says "sending to phone ..." and the phone part never gets any data. I've tried this with the phone sleeping, and with it active and awake; no joy...

Where does Xionia Recovery CWMA 1.2518.4 put its backups? Another thread suggested looking in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups -- I looked there and there are some likely looking candidates, but they're not obviously what I'm looking for. I want to install a new ROM soon (looking at Harmonia...

hey there -- I have an LG Optimus V, and I've noticed that 3G is ON more of the time than I'd like. Even when I explicitly turn it off (with QuickSettings), the phone remembers that for a short time and then turns it back on again. This usually happens after I sleep it with the power button...

how can I buy things from the Android Market? I've already got it tied to my google account -- should I enter the gift card number into google checkout? i found some other posts along thee lines but they weren't terribly helpful.

I'm at the point where I want to root my LG Optimus V by followuing the directions in the Rooting Without A Computer thread in this forum. However, because I can't afford a $150 screwup, I want to make a backup of what's on the phone now so I can hopefully restore it later. What's the...

I have an LG Optimus V which came with Swype pre-installed. I love the keyboard -- what I don't like about it is that it crashes fairly often. The Swype button and the one next to it go blank, and the keyboard won't accept any input. In order to recover, I have to switch to the Android...

A few moths after getting my LG Optimus V, I notice that it has a mere 200MB internal memory. I'm wondering how much of that space is taken up with failed downloads and suchlike. I'm still concerned about rooting my phone -- I don't have an extra $150 to replace the phone should I happen...

how about Launchers? What do you use? My five home screens are getting kinda cluttered and things are hard to find on them. I have 2 or three widgets up, but I don't really consider myself a heavy widget user. I just ant easy access too all my apps and whatnot.

hey there -- I have an LG Optimus and I think that the stock Camera app is pretty poor. Anyone have a recommendation for a better one I can find in the App store?

I installed a couple of apps on my new Optimus today, and I observed that the icons for these are offset in the launcher. The newly placed ones are a whole text row UNDER the other ones. like if the Xs are icons that were there before, the Ys represent the newly placed icons: the dots don't...
