I'm surprised I've never changed my avatar on here, that's normally one of the first things that I do!

2.2 has added some new sound effects. There are now unique sounds for docking, undocking, locking, unlocking, and a low battery. It confused me when my battery got down to 15% and my phone honked at me. The low battery sound is literally a honking noise. It's nice to have that though I guess.

I know that you can set custom dock icons, and there's a whole site for that somewhere out there (can't find it at the moment.) I don't think you can assign those icons to customize what shows up in the app drawer though. Is that what you want?

I'm not sure if those widgets are your standard .apk file. When LauncherPro added resizable widget support, he had issues with compatibility with those widgets. I think there's a lot of support issues with the underlying framework that lets them work correctly. Seems like an entire port of the...

DroidDog seems to think that it will be market based, with added support for carrier billing and more countries.. That'd be nice, but seeing as they previewed a web-based app store at I/O2010, I don't think they'd have enough substance to make a keynote that's fully market-based. I'm guessing...

Try waiting a little bit. Sometimes it takes a while for the calendars to synchronize.

Do you mean when you select the "history" link on the Google homepage on your phone? That link displays every google search done from any device that you are logged into google with. So yes, your google searches are constant for your entire account. And it shows what links you click per search...

Assuming it's a huge update, then it would likely be 3.0. The visual overhaul rumors are attributed to Google recently hiring Matias Duarte, Palm's head of User Interface. Bringing in a man like that would probably mean that they plan on overhauling the UI of Android, something that could make...

Sometimes you just have to be patient. The skins can take a while to load with their previews and everything. Tama's working on speeding up the loading, with server-side optimizations and such, but it's still a ton of skins.

I think that the real design changes will probably come with 3.0, whenever that comes. It seems Google waits for the major releases to put the really big design alterations in. The exception to that seems to be 2.1, but for many devices, that was the first 2.x update they received, keeping with...

I'm loving the new ability to make weather icon skins. They're by far more of a pain to design than widget skins though, that's for sure! Here are my 3 submissions so far. Graphic representations of each weather situation inside a circle. I tried to make one that might work well with ReaLigion...

Wow. Isn't that about how many DROIDs they moved in the first few days?

I think it took a few days for it to update for some reason. Or is there an update button? I'm not sure how to add birthdays.. I just manually added my closest friend's birthdays to their google contact files.

1. If you go to your facebook events page (Welcome to Facebook | Facebook), there's a link at the very bottom titled "export events". 2. Clicking this will give you a window with another link. If you click this, it'll download a .ics file. But you don't want to download it. 3. Instead, right...

It will be coming for the Droid, I'm sure. Seeing as the Droid is still about #3 in terms of performance, and #1 in terms of userbase (I think), the Droid should be near the top of update lists for the near future. When we do get it, we should get pretty much everything provided, unless of...
