learn how to self making theme )

haha if only i've so much time to explore this phone and create my own theme..

issit true we need to root the phone in order to apply theme dl'ed from the net? sorry honestly i admit i'm very noob in this android thing bcoz have no time to really explore it..

somehow miss the day of symbian, winmo and iPhone.. lolz

a
I think for the MMS APN, set the APN Type as mms

Example
APN Type : mms

This is what APN type used for ...

Good Luck.

Thanks bahathir, i actually did that, after setting it to APN Type: MMS, the profile will be not selectable, like in passive mode.

But i still cant send mms.. let me try to search more info..

Here is one of the answer in Google Help forum.
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/andr...48ca9f726&hl=en

Any error, if you send MMS,?

ah ok, i think the mms size is the main issue here, thanks for the info bahathir!

let me see how i can set it.

Try this:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
DIGI Profile
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
APN: DiGi
MCC: 502
MNC: 16
username: mms
password: mms
MMSC: http://mms.digi.com.my/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 203.092.128.160
Type: default,mms

The rest of the field is blank.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Test if first..Im not using DiGi, so we can use trial and error I think it may work though..


When there is an attachment, I get a "download" button, it will then save to my SD card..Thats how I do it..

Black is rosie on Sense UI for Hero..hehe..I miss that too..But only themes can change this for now..and yes, you have to root for themes application because you need to tweak the system files

urgh i guess i'll jumpe into root pool soon.. but have to make sure i know to troubleshoot if sthing bad occurs later on..

me too going to root soon..gathering information

Why not wait till the upcoming OTA update on N1 first before rooting? I am waiting for it too..and applying lots of mopiko on itchy hand to avoid rooting mine.


For the folks who is having hard time with the four "softbutton" at the botton, just touch the bottom of the button then slide upwards a little just enough to cover the button. Works for me everytime. The button actually register on the top half of the softbutton.

As for tethering, i am using PDANet. Works like a charm. Even able to do VPN (on Cisco concentrator) from my notebook once the phone is bridged via USB. I am still waiting for a standalone Cisco VPN support on N1 though without having to use a notebook around.

Shaz,
Since you've rooted yours, do you still get the touchscreen issue at times (probably due to orientation confusion)?

MMS size ? Nope, N1/Android will resize it to certain size before it can be send out as the MMS. Example, a 5MP picture with 1.2 MB filesize will be resize it automatically to around 200 kB.


For others who want to 'root' the N1.... Good Luck !!! .. I'll joint the 'root' club AFTER google/HTC release the patch.

oreomambo, which touchscreen issues? I have never had touch screen issues really..Before this I had some problems because I was not used to the phone yet..If even a slightest part of skin touches the black border on the N1, you will have problems with the touch

Bahathir, screen protector? Seriously? lol
Never used them on Hero too. Don't want to lose the sensitivity of the screen. Besides, if the phone is very well taken care of, its very less likely you will ever have a scratch

I know the screen is scratch resistance. But to my fingers, it is a bit sticky and not qiite silky smooth. I hope the screen protector able to provide better gliding performance.

hehe..I'm really worried you will be frustrated Nevertheless, do let us know how it goes..

Added on February 2, 2010, 4:11 pmWell, its not really scratch resistant though..You can scratch it actually..To me, its just about the sensitivity of the touch..thats all..

Yeah, i have that problem too. My palm touches the border and it gets confused. Hopefully some kind of rubber casing suit that we can purchase in the future that would protect the border better, perhaps something thicker on the side.

Yeah, sure, I'll post the screen protector's impression here. ...

FYI: I have skin which is a 'sticky' type. Believe or not,a frying pan, spoon, my gadgets with flat surface, ... can 'STICK' to my chest or my back like magnet. Now you can understand why I need smoother screen surface. I thought I want to take a picture of N1 sticking to my body and post it to Internet... .but.... malu laaa..

I like the matte surface of my friends' iPhone. but, yeah, the display is a bit fussy.

BTW, N1 screen also not bad, and I fount it is quite fingerprint resistant, and it is seem to be clear and clean at most of the time

finally i manage to install theme without rooting.. but still has no super power to change the top bar color

Cos you wash your hands after KFC session...

Mine has some finger prints and look like some davinci artwork now under light reflection.

^^^

H a ah ah ah ah... LOL...

Ok ok ... I understand. ... BTW, I still need to clean my hand.because
1) I don't want my N1 smelled like KFC
2) Dont' want my N1 to be infected by A(H1N1) he heh eh he but I gladly to be infected by N1
