Android 2.2 - Default Dailer, Swype, Chrome to Phone

[jv59]

Hi,

I have the original Droid and I installed Android 2.2. I also have an app called Dialer One. Is there a way to program the phone button on the home screen to open Dialer One instead of the default dialer?

Does Swype work on the original droid? If so, how do I activate it?

Do I need to install the Chrome to Phone app to get the Firefox send to phone plug-in to work. I heard that this functionality my already be installed in Android 2.2.

If I upgrade to a 32GB micro SD memory card can I just copy the contents from the old card to the new one or is there something more to this?

BTW: Ignore the message icon, I thought it was a question mark.

Thanks.

Go into settings>applicatiosn>all tab> dialer clear defaults

Yes you need the C2P app installed.

Not sure about swype.

SD card... yes. I think.

The clear defaults button is disabled for the dialer. I tried stopping it, but it just starts up again.

Thanks.

Isn't chrome to phone for the chrome browser as opposed to Firefox?

There's a plug-in called Send to Phone for Firefox. It's suppose to work with the Chrome to Phone app.

To enable Swype (assuming you have it installed) go to Settings > Language & Keyboard > Put a checkmark next to Swype.

As far as copying SD cards... Yes, it will work. I have replaced the stock Category 2 card with a new faster card. After copying everything from one card to the other and booting up my device, everything was fine. Nothing was changed in any way.

Oh, ok. Good to know. Thanks.

Swype...

I ended up uninstalling and re-installing to get it to work after upgrading to 2.2

I believe that the developer of Dialer One has noted somewhere that the dialer pad of the Froyo launcher could not be changed. However, if you want a launcher that allows you to do that, try ADW Launcher. It is awesome, and it allows you to have any dialer you want!

As far as Swype is concerned, it does not come with 2.2 natively; if you can find it (as the beta program is closed, I believe) it will work great.

The Chrome to Phone app that comes with 2.2 works as is. I don't know how the new version (2.0) may be different. And I use it with Firefox. It's pretty cool!

I don't know about changing SD cards, that is a question I would like to know the answer to myself!

How do you uninstall Swype beta so you can re-install? I have the beta on my Droid but after 2.2 came in - the swype says I have to uninstall and reinstall.

When I tap the Swype Install icon it comes up with a box telling me I have to uninstall it but I cannot find an uninstall button anywhere

If is uninstalls like most Android apps then select as follows ...

System Menu --> Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications.

Select Swype Beta (not sure if it shows like this) and push the Uninstall button.
