IINM, the only way to remove a google account from an android device is to perform a factory reset.

There's a limit to the phone's read/write speed to the SD card itself. Do check the limitation of the phone first before investing in that class 10. In most devices it is unnecessary to get Class 10.

A lot of the time (in fact, most of the time) the so called speed can be increased by simply modifying the read cache value in ROMs.

Here's an app to go with it:

Do not proceed without understanding what you're doing.

^no harm in getting class 10, just saying it's redundant. It's like getting a ferrari to drive in the city. Fancy, but redundant. I'm using class 4 ok only. Don't see how a class 10 would do any good.

The link i showed you was akin to taking the speed limit and traffic away.

Yes some devs already incorporate the change into the ROMs when the read cache thing was discovered.

try sending it as a .zip file, ie zip it, send over then unzip. It's a workaround. Android doesn't send certain files AFAIK.

what app to use to zip and unzip files?
why i cant transfer pdf file from my netbook to sgs?

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but I did it using Astro File Manager.

To zip:

1) Navigate to the file directory you want to zip
2) Tap and hold the file -> edit -> copy
3) Tap menu -> new -> Zip file -> type in name
4) tap on the newly created zip file to open it
5) paste the file in it

To unzip, open the zip file you received, copy the file in it and paste it outside of that zip file.

Procedure looks long but I'm just being meticulous.

^Can Maxis Movies serve your purpose? AFAIK needs to be connected to internet. You don't need to register to check the showtimes.

^it has cyanogenmod settings. I believe it's a themed CM rom.

Changing homescreen based on profile is Scenes, and is indeed a Sense feature. Profiles is to configure how certain apps perform notification based on what the user configures. Like in a meeting, silent, outdoors etc.

the only workaround i can think of it to use the apps account to log into google when the phone first prompts you to. Then add the 2nd account (email one) in the eMail app.

Or see if you can configure the GMail app to use an account other than the primary (apps) account.

HTC Sense is HTC's interpretation of the Android OS.

Sense UI is a combination of a few things. It encompasses some feature apps and adjustments to the software as a whole:

1) Mainly the Launcher
2) The famous calander and weather widget that do not work with other launchers
3) The clock app
4) The iPhone-esque magnifying glass (yes vanilla android dun have)
5) The fancy tab-switching mechanism
6) The phone and phonebook
7) Coloured icons in 'Settings'.

Basically if you buy a Sense-enhanced phone, you get all those.

It's not something you can install in another phone. It only comes with an HTC Android.

The eye candy that HTC Sense offers compared to other custom UIs by other brands (Samsung's TouchWiz, for example) does help in decision making.

guys really need help here
because i just do a factory reset in recovery mode on my custom rom due to have some problem
so i use titanium backup to restore the backup that i backup before
but, it only help me restore 1 application
which total got 30+
now my phone no more problem, but i can't restore application using titanium backup
i try off the phone and on again and restore also same
what should i do T_T
*especially my cut the rope data
help !!!

Titanium backup only works if you have enabled 'install from unknown sources' in the Applications setting. Check to see if it's checked.

Then, reboot into recovery and fix permissions.

Worst case scenario is your SD card got problem, or the backup that TiB made is corrupted. Try reinsert the SD card see ok or not.

If it still fails:
since you already did factory reset, might as well just reflash the rom. Do full wipe: format /data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Then reflash ROM.

you do have clockwork recovery installed, right? It seems the easiest way I've seen is to boot into CWR through ROM manager. Give that a try.

Yes, i have clockword recovery.
I was trying to flash a new ROM after the problem keep popping out,
But after i wipe data, cache , dalvik cache, it somehow stuck there.

So i pull out the battery to reboot the device into recovery.

But i cant boot into recovery as it will stuck at the samsung galaxy S screen. >"<
but i can go into download mode.

You need someone more specialised then. The solutions I offered are for general use. The i9000 thread not responding?
