I'm trying to install a Theme on my Galaxy S, but when I'm opening the apk on my device, I get a parse error.

What is this and is there anyway to get around it ??

Just in case one day you find difficulties in booting and reaching the home screen this is how you start in safe mode (safemode) for samsung galaxy 5 (GT-I5500/I5503):

Press the action button (the center black dpad key) and then pressing the power button. Do not release the dpad/action key until you have seen "safe mode" written on the bottom left corner of the screen.

Ok, I answered myself and finding this out after pressing many many combinations during booting because google search results failed to enlighten me. Later when people ask on google, they'll find it here!

I just got my Droid Devour. My previous phone would beep me every minute until I read an incoming text message.

I receive emergency text messages from customers using my company's support system so it is important that don't miss any messages or fail to respond to these messages even in the middle of the night.

Does anyone know of a text message app that will beep me incessantly until I read a message? Is it built in and I have just not learned how to do it yet?

Any help deeply appreciated.

Hi !

Does someone know if there is a way to update (by the market?) the APK apps downloaded?

Thank you !

First, I admit that I'm very very careless and STUPID!
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Nexus One Froyo 2.2.1 Rooted
The newest Android SDK.

Now the movie begins
In the past, I could mount my Nexus One to my PC and did the rooting job. It's all good. That means I don't have any problems with USB driver, Windows discover my phone well, for example, I can adb shell or adb remount to do the system' work.

Well then, I'm testing a new method to modify the notification bar background. So, I found the the resource file contained what I must mod is framework-res.apk. I back it up on my SD and start the modding process.

I modified the framework-res.apk (just replace the PNG image and repack into the old apk again).
Then I used Root Explorer to replace the current framework-res.apk with my new one.

Here comes the endless problems ^^.
Right after the replacement, Titanium Backup crashed, follow up, Laucher Pro crashed too, just like twin. And in order to make sure the new APK work, I rebooted my Nexus One. Well, you're right, nothing happened. The boot animation even can not run, it's freeze like in Alaska.

I still can access boot loader and fast boot USB mode, but the adb command on PC, in the SDK, I cannot use it anymore as I reported that no device connected. In this case, I can not use adb to push the backed up framework-res.apk to this old place.

Now my Nexus stays as silent as a stone..
Funny? haha, I'm stucked men. Help me, any hero?

I'm not sure if im posting this question in the right place, but here goes: I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate on Rogers, and my SMS is being a bit weird. It will show the proper outgoing time for the messages but will show an incoming time of 5 hours prior. Rogers claims to be working on a patch of some type to fix this issue but I am wondering if anyone knows a quick fix for this so I don't have to wait around and hope they get the patch out sometime soon.

Please let me know how to update Xperia X8s Android OS 1.6 to 2.1
