Hi! i have been reading over this website for a while and just got the new HTC PURE. i have a few questions and hope maybe some of the senoir users can point me in the right direction.
I have been searching and maybe im not using the right verbage.
I have used spb products before and liked what they did for the form and function of my old HTC 8125.
so now im looking for a couple of things for this new pure to make it how i would like it.
( fresh out of the box htc pure att )
first i would like to add some new tabs to the carousel such as a sports tab
next the start menu with all of the att support icons seem a bit useless to me and a waste of space. how do i remove things such as " att music, att navigator, att wi fi .....)
i have never done anything with rom and im not sure if i should but im up for suggestions.
so over all should i just buy the spb mobile shell or should i download something here.
ill keep reading the FAQs and hunt for answers on my own. and thank you all in advance for any advice

Never heard about a sports tab...
Cleaning the start menu is possible in /My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and there you can delete all you want...
i guess ill have to find out if there any problems with removing that bloatware and the programs they are attached to.
Mobile Shell is used by a lot of people, but If I were you I would give the standard interface a bit longer, it really depends on how you want to use your phone and how 'shiny' you want it all to look while using it.
With the above tip about the start menu, I find it a great help to use folders to 'clean-up' the menu. (ie Create some folders eg GPS, Installed, Sports! ??)
As for adding tabs to the carousel, from what 'I' believe it is very difficult if not impossible to add tabs over the selection currently used, I know some have been able to change a tabs usage, or icon, but I haven't seen a way to add additional tabs, someone correct me if I'm wrong!
Edit: Just read about the 'bloatware' if it came with the phone, it can't be removed (its cooked into the ROM), but the shortcuts to it in the Start menu can be removed, I would cut them from the start menu and save them in a folder (in my Docs or somewhere other than the start menu), that way if you decide you need them, it is easy to put them back.
If it was possible to remove the bloatware from the stock ROM, my pure wouldn't have gotten flashed without 30 min of me owning it.

That should help you with everything you need to flash. I don't believe its possible to add tabs in touchflo, unless they are hidden. Some of the newer ones have the program tab hidden, but you can reenable it via registry.
thanks for the help! i have moved the bloatware as suggested and thank you for the responses.
As for how i will use my phone, i love the touchflo, and the phone itself. i have never flashed anything and im not sure i plan to. generally speaking ive been happy with the proformance of the phone, however having a news tab a sports score tab and a facebook tab would be great and i would love to have them all update say on an hourly basis. maybe one day.
right now im trying to figure out what ill gain from flashing the rom and which rom i would use.
any advise would be great
thanks again
I just noticed that Samsung's market finally had more than just two apps in it. This is for the uk, and they look pretty uk specific, but the new apps that just appeared are:
Sky News
Investment week
WH Smith eBooks
(the pre-existing apps were radio companion and blinkx beat)
Just what the Tab needed: another eBook reader. As though we didn't have enough already (and I note that the install screen says it doesn't [yet] sync if you already have a web account).
Any interesting apps in other countries?

Nope, just an app from a german news television named n-tv. Actually there are four apps in appstore.

I have my Tab with a Voda SIM in it in UK and all I see is the Companion Radio.
The first day I got my tab, I'm sure I recall there being 2 or 3 other apps, but I was having a serious problem with something and had to hard reset. They never showed up since.
I've installed a couple of the new apps:
The WHSmith app looks pretty enough but it wants me to register to buy a book even if the book I want to buy is 'discounted' by 100% so I haven't yet bothered. A random sample of one book (I shall wear midnight) is £12.61 as a WHSmith eBook, $12.80 Amazon.com Kindle, £8.09 amazon.co.uk Kindle so it doesn't look too promising.
The Sky News app might actually be useful: text stories, most with click through to a (low resolution) video. There's also an option to read the stories out loud though some of the speech synthesis is a bit wayward. One obvious bug is that they've used a font which displays the unicode fallback diamond character instead of a pound sign which for a supposedly UK app with a 'business news' section shows a remarkable lack of testing. Also I'd really like a technology section and the option to turn off 'showbiz'.
One feature I haven't seen elsewhere is the 'Your Report' section that you can use to upload stories to Sky. However they don't get many points for telling me to refer to terms and conditions at skynews.com without actually providing any links.
Is it possible to change the country of samsung apps ? Because i bought my tab on amazon.de but i live in France and i would like to buy or download apps that are available in france.
I think it depends on the SIM
i have a french sim but no french apps...
Seeing as how the SamsungApps app won't even start without a SIM present, it suggests it's checking the locale of the SIM to see what apps are available to the region. I've got nothing whatsoever in mine, presumably since the Tab isn't available in New Zealand.
Yes you can change it. Open the dialer and type in the code:
*#272*YOURIMEI#
Put your IMEI number where it says YOURIMEI and it will allow you to switch country codes. If you change the country code you will lose your stuff. It will be like a system restore so make sure you backup your stuff.

#2 it maybe interesting if it shows events and things going on in London, #-3 I may try (but anything from Rupert Murdoch mouth is not to be trusted)
#7 does not appear the list any more (I installed it just to try it)
Did I mention I hate Rupert Murdoch?,

Yes, bizarrely once you install something it disappears from the list which makes it very confusing. I had another look at the "Sky News" app last night and noticed that all of the sports stories were from November 7th: they've updated them now but it was a bit bizarre seeing their headlines were about F1.

You don't need a keyboard. Once you do that you can select a different code.

There's an app for rooted phones that allows you to change your country so that you see more options in the market.
I used it for EVO, I'll have to to look for it after i wake up a little more but anyone impatient can search the htc supersonic (aka Evo) forums to find it.
My Samsung Tab (VF Germany SIM) now shows 5 Apps including Asphalt 5 HD as a download which I'm doing at the mo. That wasn't shown yesterday.

Showing now for me too.
Seems to be the full version, must be annoying for those people that may have previously bought it!
I think there must be something firware dependent that controls what apps are visible because I had a few Apps on my UK Tab until I upgraded via samfirmware.com to JK5 and now I don't have anything in there but the radio companion.
Anybody else in the UK using a Voda sim and can confirm whether or not any other apps are visible?
Mines got a UK orange sim in it, do they filter it by network too or just location..?
1) The Bubble Birds icon in the XBOX Live hub is blurry. is it my phone or is it like that for everybody?
2) Where can I download AT&T apps? because I can't find them on the marketplace. I have an AT&T phone.
Thank you!
1) It's been a fact from day one that some icons on wm7 are blurry, Bubble Birds is blurry for me here too
2) I ain't on AT&T, hope someone will answer you soon
Thank you!
I have one more question:
My phone says it has 1.19GB free out of 7.39GB total memory in "about phone", but my Zune says I have only 677MB free out of 7.36GB total memory.
Why is that?
check in your Zune settings - phone - Reserved space you might want to lower it. Reserved space is space for pictures - videos, etc you want to reserve so you don't end up with no space left while on the go (happened to me a lot while on ios and it always bugged me!)
That maybe the case, but the numbers don't add up. there's about 100MB or so missing.
Mysterious are the ways of WP7.
Anyways, I have a bigger problem: my marketplace search won't work.
I get a message saying "search currently unavailable. try again later".
WiFi is on, so is cellular data. I'm on a branded, Chevron+SIM unlocked Samsung Focus 8GB running NoDo.
Tried restarting the phone, didn't do any good.
If you enter the marketplace, you will the AT&T app center.
Since you cannot access marketplace now, you won't see it.
I can access the marketplace, but I get an error message when trying to use the search.
The AT&T app center isn't there. All I see is the Samsung Zone, apps, games and music.
update: marketplace search now works, AT&T app center still missing.
Do you have an AT&T sim card in it? If not, you may not see the AT&T apps.
Well, no. I think you're right, but I wonder if it's only my Focus or any Samsung Focus with a different sim card.
Well, if you have a Samsung Focus working on, say Telus or Rogers or Bell in Canada, of course you aren't going to get the AT&T app store.

You must have the Circle K app installed on your device.
(If rooted, you must have something to hide root to the app otherwise the app will display a dialog that states the app is not supported on rooted devices.)
1. Make an account.
2. Top left menu to go to deals.
3. All deals including the daily free item will be there. Just get it scanned (timed codes)
No purchase required.
This ends on the 24th, but you can also claim the previous day's items if missed. Not sure how big the window is for prior items, I got today's and yesterday's all today but it just started yesterday. Obviously wherever supported so check the app for the deals in your area and if your circle k is having the promo.
Some of you probably knew or didn't either way here's a reminder.
I got a Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Body Armour Super Drink, not sure what else there will be but hey a free item that's actually free.
EDIT: grammer
Just moved from a Note9. The stocks app on apps edge has gone. Anyone else have it?
I also notice some of the basic alarm sounds are missing.

I noticed that the stock edge app (Yahoo Finance) is gone as well. It was actually getting a lot of errors on my Note8 before I got my S10+. Would love to find an alternative as that was the edge feature I used the most
Is the app working now? I see no reason why you should be bothered if it doesn’t work cuz there are other apps you can check on the play store. I use iPhone, not Samsung, so I don’t know the exact problem. Do you trade? If you trade, you don’t need the stocks app; you can check your broker application. In fact, I should introduce you to a good swing trading strategy; you can check it if you trade. Or maybe you’ve known the strategy already. And besides, it’s not necessary that the same strategy that works for me also works for you.
