[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snuffsis:
I got the same problem.

Need to return to stock but for me it won't even recognize the Phone when i plug it in. Which is strange because i can access the files through windows and all, but it says it's not connected in the RUU. :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microsaft:
I think my "problem" ist ClockWork - it seems that the phone don't get into the bootloader (??) required to flash.

If I disconnect the usb while the HTC logo is shown it switchs to the loader and I can see a line RRU (normaly there are the four lines)

The first part seem to work (check phone, initiate reboot, ....)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microsaft:
SOLVED:

Just killed the RUU while the device showed the HTC logo and restarted the RUU.

Then the update recogniced the bootloader and installed the stock ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqblood:
what do u mean by killing the RUU?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microsaft:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper7881:
or you colud just run the ruu from fastboot lol its much easier and less likely to brick ur phone than force closing the ruu in the process of searching for the fone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microsaft:
oh....hmmm.... :(

Good point - tried a lot but never tried that....damn
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaryab:
1st you have to flash the ...bootlloader for stock romss ...the same way u did before installing .cm7

u can find it here

alpharev.nl

flash alpharev for stock rom..... and then do a full wipe and install the rom through recovery

u cannot install stock froyo over alpharev cm7

boot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yes you can as the RUU replaces the AlphaRev HBOOT with the stock one. I've done it with no issues
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drong88:
Hey :)

I rooted my desire, and installed CM 7.0.3 last night, and its the first time ive done anything custom on my handset. And im loving it :)

so here are my questions about the custom rom.

Is there a way to change the quality (MP) on the camera, or is it just on high settings the whole time?

and any ideas how to lower the battery usage? my wifi, gps and my 3g is allways turned off, when im not using it.

its a HTC Desire, so the SENSE thingy is gone, are there any apps to replace some off the SENSE features? beautiful widgets is installed

there are a couple off other questions, but cant remember them right now ;)

Regards

[HTC Desire S] king_elino:
i hope you can be patient about this newbie questions :

it seems that i will buy DS this month.

and cause HTC lock the bootloader, i think i must have s-off for full customize.

and my questions :

1. are the warranty "off" if i my phone get s-off?

2. what's the bad case getting s-off (hardware and software) ?

3. besides xtc clip, is there another tools to have s-off?

4. can we use desire tools ( hardware ) to s-off desire s ?

many thanks.. :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Answers

(although you'll find these by searching and reading the forum further)

You don't achieve root using the XTC Clip, but, currently the only way to make you phone root is to first make it S-OFF (using XTC clip)

1 Yes - you invalidate your warranty and I don't believe that you can S-ON again.

2 The XTC clip route to S-OFF appears to safe, although you perform it completely at your own risk! to indicate how safe I intend to get my phone done by this route next week.

3 Not currently, people are working on a software method for this phone and Incredible S but haven't got there as yet.

4 If you mean, can you use the same XTC clip device for the older DESIRE as the DESIRE S the answer is yes, although I believe that you need the latest firmware/drivers for the XTC clip in order to get DESIRE S support.
[HTC Desire S] king_elino:
thanks for the answers mate :)

another question :

beside xtc clip, is there another hardware to s-off desire?

because i can't find in my country people who have the xtc-clip.. :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
No. It's only way (at the moment)

Although I know that I've read other posts of many Indian users with DESIRE S that are also looking for XTC in India and were talking about going in together to purchase one, but I can't remember whether they were in this forum, the Desire S Android Dev one or in one of the Incredible S forums..

So best you start looking/reading and then contact one of them directlt... best of luck.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Hello,

I've just upgraded my home router, in order to speed up and future proof my home network, I've upgraded from a netgear DG834GT to a DGND3700, (mainly to add faster wifi and 1Gb ethernet).

On my old router my wifi connection from my phone was always 72Mbps. So I installed the new router and configured it to what I think is all the max settings, however my initial wifi speed on the phone was a lower 65Mps!?:confused:

After a while I realised that if I switched the phone wifi setting to max performance it would achieve 72Mbps (even though before with the older router it could always achieve this speed with this setting the other way). I'm no means an expert on wifi..etc.(clearly) can anyone explain... (please)

Another question is, what is the fastest speed anyone has had wifi running on the Desire S?

My new(ish) laptop manages to get a 300Mpbs wifi link to the new router! am I missing some configuration option?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] kc1:
I've only had 72 mbps too, with a WNDR4000 -

I've tried setting the router's 2.4gHz to deliver it as fast as 300 mps or at 145 - makes no difference just 1.5 metres from the router.

I don't know if there's any way to set the Desire S to find the 5Ghz signal.

Disappointing
[HTC Desire S] det66:
What do you use to check the speed ?

Edit : Also what is your normal broad band connection supposed to be?

I'm on 16 Mb line with Sky and phone pulls in at 8.21 Mbps over wifi

Just checked on WIFI settings on phone and for Sky it says 54Mbps with singal strength as excellent
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i dont know much about this topic but have you tried setting the channel to auto,transmit power to 100%,turned on 802.11n?
[HTC Desire S] Elcs:
As far as I'm aware, the Desire S is only officially wireless G protocol so 54mbps theoretical max.

However, it may be like the older HD2 which has, albeit by method of registry change, wireless N support.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
it is officially capable of 802.11n

I've been using Ubuntu on my netbook, dual-booting with Windows 7. One thing that's keeping me from using solely Ubuntu is the need to connect my Windows Mobile Device and controlling it on my netbook.

After much reading (I don't think anyone else want this on their Ubuntu as I haven't found any resource on how to do it), I was able to make Pocket Controller Pro to work under Wine on my netbook with Ubuntu 10.10.

Now, I can control, browse files and edit registry under the Ubuntu environment, among other things Pocket Controller Pro has to offer like screenshots etc.

For those interested, here are the steps I did:

For PPC:

1) Install SynCE on Ubuntu.

2) Install Wine on Ubuntu.

3) Install Pocket Controller Pro on Ubuntu.

4) Setup device to Accept Inbound Connection, and Allow Connection Over Wireless. Activesync doesn't work on Wine at the moment.

5) Make sure under Settings>Connections>USB to PC, Activesync and Enable Faster Data Connection are checked

6) Connect device to Netbook, Run Pocket Controller Pro.

7) Take note of the IP Address used by the device. Go to Settings>Pocket Controller>Status.

8) In Pocket Controller Pro Settings, make a New Profile under Connection Profiles.

9) Choose Connection Type TCP/IP. Under Host Name/IP Address, enter the IP Address used by your device (Step 7). Click OK.

10) On Pocket Controller Pro Main Windows, CLick connect and choose the Connection Profile you just have created.

NOTES:

a) Pocket Controller was previously installed on the device under Windows.

b) If you're using Ubuntu, I'm pretty sure you know where to look for SynCE and Wine.

c) You may have to reboot your netbook if your mobile device is not detected the first time.

For Smartphones (WM Standard), additional steps I did:

1)

Quick Question

Hi-

I love this launcher! Congrats on it taking off and thank you for all you provide this community.

I'm currently not using go launcher but I really miss it. I started using Multi-picture Live Wallpaper so I could have different walls on different screens but it did not want to play nice with Go Launcher. Switching from screen to screen was super choppy and would often freeze half way through the transition until I nudged it with my finger. Do you know of any issues that would keep GL from working well with live wallpaper? Also, I know this supports resizing and scrollable widgets, but any chance of allowing widget overlapping? Before I ran into the live wallpaper problem, I found that to be the only thing missing compared to the "others" out there.

I truly feel you have something AMAZING in the works here. I was so bummed when I ran into this little kink as I hadn't used a 3rd party launcher for several months but decided to give this a try. For me, the overall package is ten times better than the "other two" out there. :D When this has widget overlap and smooth muti pic, I'll be back! Thanks again!!

Hi, what about bookmarks widget - any plans ? :rolleyes:

Go Launcher Notifications

Suggestion:

The Notification App for Go Launcher should have the choice of displaying the Total Number of Emails in Gmail or the number of Unread Emails in Gmail.

For example, many people do not delete email from their Gmail account, so currently the notification will display 2345 on the icon. This is useless. FWIW, the ADW Notifier app has an option like this .... take a look at it as this would be a worthwhile addition for Go Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] stepchild:
Any change you will add Maildroid to your notifications?
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
I am using Go Launcher EX and i love it so far. The thing is that when i want to connect my Galaxy as Mass Storage or through Kies it wont work unless i switch to the default Launcher that came with my phone. Also the battery usage seems to be higher.
[Android Apps and Games] HackitZ:
Love your launcher and notifier, can you add two things?

Go launcher = allow 6 shortcuts on the dock, maybe even 7 so the odd number can still be in the middle.

Zoom had 6 icons on the dock, so it should be possible.

notifier = Also for the notifier can you please, please, please ad support for maildroid. :-)

Thanks

Great Launcher!

Is there any possibilities to optimize the "High Quality Drawing" options? Hardware Acceleration?
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
Does anyone else have a problem with bounce not functioning? I've noticed, at whatever setting the slider is at, only the cube (outside) and default transition effects actually bounce.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Could you please make it so that widgets fill up to the very top of the screen?

For example, my clock/date etc widget has a translucent background, and it looks especially bad whe the wallpaper is very bright (or white) to have that thin, bright line across the top, then the translucent background of the widget, then back to white.

If that is fixed, then I'd have to say this is THE perfect launcher. I'm coming here from Launcher Pro Plus. (Now regret buying it).

Any way to switch off that horrible new folder view? The new folders hold less icons and require horizontal swipes to see the missing apps.

Here's an example: 16 icons reduced to 12.
[Android Apps and Games] iRide113:
Anyone else getting crappy performance after update? Go Launcher has to keep restarting when I exit an app. Never happened before.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
All is well here.

Im happy with the update. No issues to speak of. Thanks, from a loyal user..
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Was the option to have screen indicators to never show removed?
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Yes that feature was removed.

Yes the new folder popout sucks.

And the widgets still don't resize to fit custom grids. When you have seperate wigets that you set to line up next to eachother they overlap and look crappy. They also don't fill up on the height, and leave a space at the top of each widget. Ugly as hell.
[Android Apps and Games] Isadora:
The option to remove the screen indicator has reappeared in today's update :)

How do I sort icons by most used? I can do this on my xperia neo stock but cannot seem to find the option on go launcher

That's not part of the launcher.

Try the UOT Kitchen tool, it's part of the systems theme, and the UOT Kitchen can modify a TON of stuff for you. There is how-to on using the service on the website.

How do I get the app drawer to do that globe thing I seen in the pictures in the market?
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Menu> preferences> effects settings> icon effects> sphere

Also make sure to change app drawer to scroll horizontally.

Menu> preferences > app drawer settings> scrolling orientations > horizontal
[Android Apps and Games] funkyblue04:
So I presume there is no way to sort icons by most used?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
You presume correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Is it also safe to presume they won't ever fix widget resizing so it fits the adjusted grid sizes?
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
I hope the next update features this.

as well as the option to have no dock at all... That'd be great.
[Android Apps and Games] Fouanette:
Hey all, I love the app, and I would like to see the possibility of having no dock too. But what I want most is the possibility to open the app drawer with a double-tap, like on zeam launcher. That would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] turbo-omena:
I agree. The new folder view is horrible. I just hope we get the full size folders back.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I love the new folder view. It is funny how people feel so differently about things. Obviously I don't choose a launcher for the folder view, so I will love GO Launcher regardless of the future of this change...
[Android Apps and Games] turbo-omena:
..and for me the small folder view is just waste of precious screen space.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
For me not at all as also with bigger folders not all program icons fit, so i have to scroll anyway :p
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
With less icons per folder you'll have to scroll more often, or make more folders to avoid scrolling.

The GO team should make the number of icons per folder a user configurable setting, just like they did for the number of icons per home screen and the icon spacing in the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Perhaps if they can come up with a way to have the folder drop down dynamically adjust to the number of icons... that would maybe make most people happy.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
That would be a good start.

They could also make the folder position configurable. If I only put a few icons in a folder I'd rather have the open folder halfway down the screen than dropping from the top. I want the icons in my folders as close to my fingers as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] turbo-omena:
It actually does dynamically adjust to rows 1-3 depending on how many icons there are in the folder. They just need to expand it to the 4th row...
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
And a fifth row. Go Launcher let's you put 5 rows (or more) on your home screens and in your app drawer, so they can do the same with folders.

While they're at it, it would be nice if a swipe up gesture would close a folder, just like you can swipe the notification screen away.

Do the makers of GO read this forum or should someone grab our suggestions and mail it to them?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
By the changes being made, I have to assume they read the forum even though they haven't been posting lately.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
There is a feedback button in the GLE menu.
[Android Apps and Games] borijess:
Anyway to make dock icons larger?
[Android Apps and Games] funkyblue04:
Wonder why it's not an option. Makes it easier to find apps
[Android Apps and Games] McLabia:
Didnt know there was a thread here about Go! Ha! Thanks for all you guys do, love and recommend the product OFTEN.
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
I wish. That should be requested.

-- PTION OF NEW.OLD FOLDER dropdown
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
And also resize the widgets to fit the grid you select so that different widgets with transparency in the backgrounds dont overlap and look like total crap.

Launcher Pro does this.. and it's where they got almost all of their code form.
[Android Apps and Games] shaolin95:
This has finally replaced Launcher Pro for me. Only one thing I am not able to do yet....I have Tha Icon app and when changing Icons Tha Icon shows as an option in Launcher Pro but not in Go launcher.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Not entirely sure I follow? Are you looking for a way to change the icon for shortcuts on your screens? If so, this is built into Go Launcher, just long press and choose "replace".
[Android Apps and Games] a3plew:
Please go launcher devs allow us to get rid or customize the app drawer tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] shaolin95:
Yes I do that but when I do it from LP I get the option to replace the icons using the Tha Icon application but when I do it with Go Launcher I dont.

Perhaps I can post some images to show the differences.
[Android Apps and Games] shaolin95:
OK please check the following screenshots. The first one is the one showing the options when you want to replace an icon.

The second one shows the options I get when I select the CUSTOM ICON option in Launcher Pro and third one shows the same CUSTOM ICON option but in Go Launcher.

For some reason THA Icon does not come up.
[Android Apps and Games] kumarshah:
Is there a way to hide applications in the app drawer? I tried to lock apps and then unchecked Show/Hide locked apps but that didn't work.

That is probably because Tha Icon has icon packs for Launcher Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] shaolin95:
They have themes for ADW that I know off. I though any launcher would be able to see it. Shame cause I really like Go Launcher so I would need to find a way to get the icons in.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Just thinking out loud... maybe there could be a way.

1. Look how the Go Launcher themes are structured

2. Create a folder in the same structure for the Tha Icons

Maybe so the icons show up as theme to be installed.

Just a thought

Or it could be easier to create a new theme by modifying an existing theme apk....
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Extract the icons from your THA icon folder to somewhere on your sdcard. Long press on the icon you want to change on your home screen, choose custom icon, use your file manager(root explorer) to navigate to where you extracted the icons from THA icon to, choose your icon and done.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Go into the app drawer and hit menu, hiding is an option there.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
That is changing one by one... i thought he wants to do a batch change.
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
I recently made my grid dimensions 5x4 (5 rows and 4 columns, as opposed to the default 4x4). I have a qHD screen, so this probably should be able to be even bigger...and it looks fine in portrait, but I've noticed in landscape mode, content overlaps eachother...anyone else notice this?
[Android Apps and Games] McLabia:
Have you played with your density?

Sent from my rooted, Dark Horse INFECTED Synergy bolt running Ziggys latest.
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
I have not. Should I? Is there anything I can do to enhance widget layout in the Go Launcher in landscape, but not affect anything else?
[Android Apps and Games] McLabia:
The only thing I could think of is use less icons. Adjusting the lcd density will give you a larger screen appearance. Depending on your screen size, you can go anywhere from 220-160. I personally run 190 on a 4.3" and things always have enough space and never get squished together.
