guys, arc sync every photos album and tags photos in to gallery, unchecked "sync albums in gallery" will make all the albums disappear.

Do we have the option to choose which albums to sync?

have updated to 2.3.3..
Except for fast boot up,and smooth scrolling..What other new features are there?

Share up guys so we arc users can fully utilize and aware of the updates installed.

Thx


Added on June 2, 2011, 10:58 pmunder sync,how come i have 2 facebook icons ah?
one is facebook integration and the other looks like the old fb icon
*
Updates that i aware:
- New widget called Media Discovery
- Data transfer Widget resized
- Lock screen notification
- Improve battery life
- Improved touch sensitivity (no more accidentally launching app while scrolling)
- Improve auto brightness
- Faster Reboot time (approx 1 minute)
- HD Video Record, tested few 3 - 5 minutes videos, no lag at all. (DNA 16gb class 10)

Facebook Integration
- Like feature in Music playing (ID tracking is not very for chinese music)
- Full albums from fb will be loaded in gallery if you sync it, and be able to comment directly
- Phone Contact include fb fren's details such as photos, interest, latest status dates

Under sync,
1 is SE fb integration icon and another one is old fb icon. If delete the old fb icon, all fb sync (albums, contact pic and status) will be gone, and you will need to load again.

apart from the xda step, will another gingerbreak be released? cause loosing personal data again will be a pain in the arse...

where should i place the call logs back up in my phone?
*
I tired to flash back 2.3.2 without wipe out data, but too much forced close prompt up.
However, those data like video, downloaded apps, movies, pictures, music in SD card will remain, those backup u make in tb or myb will still be there.

i was on rooted 2.3.2 and cut off a lot of unwanted apps..... found that i couldn't do OTA to 2.3.3.... so did flashtool based on the generic firmware in XDA forum. didn't do a wipe data and it caused my phone to hang. i decided to reflash with wipe data now... root it with gingerbreak and OTA to 2.3.3. Success! i find that some stock apps are missing e.g. camera. so i off/on my phone and most of stock app returned (...weird). i find that i can't get GO Contacts/Messaging to work and AppInstaller is missing tongue.gif

anyone encountered this issue?
*
The generic firmware in xda doesn't comes with AppInstaller, i tried searched for it while i am still in flashed 2.3.2. There are plenty of AppInstaller in market that can do the same job.

Din't use Go Contacts/Messaging, but my Go calendar and Go weather working fine.

there are guys doing guides on this, type "malaysia arc root 2.3.4". You will get what you need to know. It will be quite easy when u understand the whole thing.
