I installed the khalpowers' MIUI ROM successfully, however I didn't know how to view all my apps.
For example: I use search function and I know my phone have Facebook Application. But I didn't see it on all the screen pages. So, how can I see that how many apps I can have/use.
Thank you very much. I'm new, so I can't not post new thread in the development box.
PS: the silence function of camera doesn't work as well.

I've had ICS installed on Desire S for the past week. I'm a bit disappointed at some features being missing. I was using standard GB with Sense 3.0 - nothing special.
Well here's my list of troubles - maybe someone can help me with them, or at least they'll be out there for the benefit of anyone taking the dive.
Browser no longer opens default app: Whenever I've installed a special purpose application (Wikipedia, IMDb, Google Play) and I search on the browser, I no longer get the option to open the page in its dedicated app - instead the page loads and I end up using the browser. Most of you might remember the browser on GB used to ask the standard which-app-would-you-like-to-use question, and whether you'd like it defaulted or just once, but it no longer does that.
The mail widget doesn't show the same as the app - I've got Mail configured to sync with Exchange on 6 folders. The widget has stopped showing the different folders - the app still shows them when I select "All Messages" and this was the default view on GB. I've looked for settings near and far, but can't find any to control this.
HTC Sense no longer has widgets to download: I miss the hourglass timer (countdown) and the battery widget.
Youtube widget now occupies 3x2 instead of the sleaker 4x1. Is it YouTube or Sense, I don't know - but I'm not completely satisfied by this change.
To be fair to ICS tho, I believe it's quicker and lighter on the battery - I haven't felt the common complaints of slower. Also, a browser issue that some people had complained about is non-existent in my case - Good for me!
dont know about the mail question ,, but for browser , clear data and clear defualts in setting>apps>browser,,,
htc-sense : yes it is a little wierd but unfortunately , u cant download more htc widgets on sense 3.6 ,
youtube : since i moved to ICS youtube widget is shown like this , on any ics rom,,, so its youtube, not sense
As far as I remember you can set default apps for actions somwhere in the settings. But the truth is that ICS from HTC is really annoying and battery life was worse for me than on GB.

Are you rooted ? Try this.

Before i had problems with crashing links and apps weren't opening correctly.
Now for example i click youtube video in facebook app, it opens browser loads that address and asks what app to use. Checked youtube and don't ask in future.
Now works correct ;]

The one you're talking about is in Settings > Apps association.. but that doesn't include the apps I'm installing.
Apparently the response below from remusator is the right way to go... At least it sounds right to me. I'll try it and report back.
To Root? Or not to Root? That is the question.

Its sounds very likely that this is the right solution to follow... However, I'm not rooted. Would you recommend for or against (well, I think since you're rooted you probably will recommend it) but what are potential losses from rooting. I was against early in my warranty and OTA was still an option, but I'm not sure I have a case any more. Shall I just go ahead and root?

root it now !! no risk , it is very, very easy ,, u can get rid of the stock buggy ics , and can have latest android 4.1 jellybean ! ,Sense 4 ! ur phone will be very fast and lighting , can play any HD game bceause u can overclock your cpu ! ,,, but you may lost ur warranty :silly:
You will loose your warranty, however there are methods how to put the phone in original (afaik).
Anyway, most of Desire S phones are probably out of warranty already.
Rooting doesn't exactly mean installing custom roms, btw...
But it comes hand in hand, and it means freedom. You can make whatever you like with your phone.
Rooting on gingerbread was pretty easy and straightforward.
You root only once and install custom recovery. Then you can flash every rom you like (Desire S Development section), even prerooted, so no need to root again ;]
I've started my investigation on rooting, but I'm wondering about S-on/off are those needed also. Would those be enough to modify the build.prop file? What about upgrading bootloader.
Apparently I have too many questions so if you can redirect me to a guide about all those... The 101 of everything root/bootloader etc. Is appreciate it.

You can also find a complete guide thread here. Read as much as you can before you're confident about rooting. If you follow instructions carefully and read the tips to avoid bricking your device then there is very little risk to rooting.
I dunno where to put this. Can someone plz help find the app version before the major UI change. I keep downloading various versions before 9.0 from many places and it still show the same new crappy UI. :'(
I want the last version before the changed design. It also allows adding pix to comments. I can't even find the link. Samsung did a Factory Reset when they are only suppose to replace the USB port.
I could be wrong, but I believe that the app renders the native website, therefore the layout changes are driven by the core website itself and not the app on your device. This wasn't always the case, but it's been a long time.
See this thread for some clues, and a link to an old version before the app went native - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099916
Thanks for your response. I kept searching last night and kept on using random search words and finally hit it. Its the app right before the UI change and that luckily FB added pix to comments before the UI change. I'm staying on this app until FB fix their messy app. Their current version, that I tested last night, are so horrible. Here is link to the one I found. http://techloverhd.com/2014/03/facebook-7-0-0-22-28-app-download-for-android-apk/ and even emailed to myself. I came across a page listing all versions and descriptions. They're workin' on a 10.0 already, so the 9.0 is short-lived. LoL Will check out the link you provided.
Btw, how can I do a Search on this forum? All I see are Search for Your Device. I'm also wanting the Dolphin apk app version before their UI change.
Hello everyone
I need your help. I have a rooted galaxy s3. I really really like the ROM developed by XDA members but there is one thing I really hate is the default caller app. I think it's the most awkwardly application developed by Google, since the most obvious thing that should happen when you try to use the phone is see the keyboard, either to find a contact or enter a new number. But Google shows an interface where no keyboard, just a list of recent contacts. If I search the keyboard it does not arise or come after three touchs in special places, luckily I found. So I can not write immediately if someone gives me his phone number. If Google wanted to make impossible for such a basic thing, he did it.
The official Samsung ROM has the best app I've seen: Default leaves the keypad, next pages are history, favorites and list of contacts. All them big size, easy to use, friendly using.
I wonder if it is possible to use this application into a ROM like OmniRom or CM11, and how I could do it.
Thank you very much to all.
Have a great day.
The Samsung Dialer/Phone App is based on Samsung's propitiatory TouchWiz Framework. Its commonly referred to as TW. For this reason, the app will not work well on AOSP Roms such as Omni or CM. You can however find some Good dialer Apps in the Google Play Store.
Can you please post your Device Model and Carrier so that we can point in the Right Direction ?
Hi! A few of my modding friends made a new app, and gave me permission to share this with the XDA community. I hope you enjoy it!
Their words:
Picat is a Kik mod based on Kik/Pikek version 8.10. Made by Spirit, Jess, Nem, Bran, Dorcus, Kilo, and mint. We started this project to give people something fun to use and also to get some good learning experience out of it. If you have used Pikek in the past then you'll already know what features it has, however it's more than just another boring retheme of Pikek unlike most mods it contains never before seen features and commands which you will love and find very useful. Some of which include
- !back (auto invites people back to the group)
- Auto forward (great for bypassing that annoying 24 hour pic ban)
- Anti timestamp (to auto ban annoying people)
- New games such as !guess and !hang
- OS/mod detection (let's you view what operating system another user is using and/or their modded kik)
- Real time lurk detection (much better than @whoslurking as it doesn't timeout)
- Empty profile pic ban (to auto ban users who join without a profile pic. Great for keeping out spammers as they usually don't have a profile pic)
- Version switcher/Enable @bots (let's you switch between version.8.10 or 10.7 to choose between joining hashtags or using kik bots)
- Invisible mode (doesn't let others detect you're using a modded Kik)
- Built in bypass no save and forward (having a toggle for it is dumb)
- !demote (jid)
Let us know if you have questions, concerns, or ideas for new features in #catikhelp group or #picet. We hope you enjoy this mod!

App is crashing
I have tried both the light and dark versions of Picat and both crash as soon as I open them before logging in. I uninstalled all other Kik apps to try to fix it and it is still crashing. I had another version of Picat and out of nowhere it started to crash whenever I opened it and I have no idea how to fix it. I restarted my phone twice cleared app data, nothing works. Help?

I'm afraid I'm not aware of any issues since I'm not involved with the app, but if you still want my help, a good start would be to pull out a computer and look into "adb logcat." Running that when it crashes will provide us with valuable info about why the crash occurs.
Added for test it out later. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks, I don't know how to debug.
I found that it only crashes and refuses to run when there is something funky with my internet connection like things being blocked on restricted Wi-Fi.
Can't login. Returns to initial setup screen after solving the CAPTCHA.
Does this (or any other mod) remove that silly chat history limit btw? And how about an export feature?
That's basically all I'd want a mod for...
Can't download?
Hello, I apologize if this post is stupid, but I cant seem to download the app. I press the Dropbox link but the link page closes right after loading,and doesn't start a download,anyone able to assist?
That's pretty odd! Try changing the '1' at the end of the link to a '0' and see what happens
Clean ?

Is there a way to retrieve videos that have been sent to you but got lost due to relogin with picat?
