[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
1. Far more advanced. They are a lot more customizable than the Stock Sense launcher

2. No, You can always switch back, besides, you will only lose the Sense Launcher. Sense goes far beyond it's launcher, but, you WILL lose the ability to use any Sense based Widget.

3. No, actually, its the opposite. Its lightning quick. Scrolling between homescreens, scrolling the app drawer with the 3D effect - Its instantaneous. So much so that my friend with a Stock Desire said my phone feels smoother.

4. Configurable from 1,3,5,7

Hey Bro... thanks for the valuable points..

but I am still stuck with my question # 2...

What do you mean by "you will only lose the Sense Launcher. Sense goes far beyond it's launcher, but, you WILL lose the ability to use any Sense based Widget. " Can you explain this to me.. as am a new one to android world... :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex_GP:
While using launcher pro as a home screen launcher, you will not be able to use any sense widgets like Calendar, Weather Clock, etc.

Launcher Pro PLUS (paid) comes with it`s own widgets that replicate sense look and feel (minus the weather widget, that`s another debate.)

You can go back to Sense at anytime and use the sense widgets. Nothing is lost.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekuax:
HI Alex..

Thanks... Okay let me try out the launcher....

can you tell me how to switch back to HTC Sense.. if something goes wrong with launcher pro..(hopefully nothing goes wrong..but as a safety measure... :) )
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poeken:
Go to settings, then open programs. Press Manage programs. Locate Launcher pro, tap it, scroll down and press "remove default program" or something like that.

Great .. thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekuax:
Hi again..

Can anyone suggest me any site where I can check for the catalog or specifications of Launcher pro. so that I can get a clear view and try the features without missing anything ... Also if I install the free version, is it a trial one like it will ask me for updating with paid one later ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
LP's official site:

http://www.launcherpro.com/

Free version is free. Not a time bound trial.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekuax:
Bro.. one more question....

I have seen many wallpapers in many screen shots of wildfire which is truly amazing... but my search for those(may be am poor in searching) does not get me amazing ones... can you tell me where to look for cool wallpapers for Wildfire...

There is an app called "HD Wallpapers" (by srsdev). It is available in market as a free version.

It has lots and lots of categorised cool wallpapers. But it requires mobile data connection to download the wallpapers. And once u open a wallpaper image, it will be stored as a cache data on memory card. That means u donot need to have internet connection to open the image for the 2nd time , and also for setting it as a wallpaper.

And the best thing is it even has the option to save ur cool wallpapers to sdcard. The saved path will be sdcard/Wallpapers/My Wallpapers/

[And wallpapers will not be specific for wildfire. They are just images. There will be live wallpapers also which are also not specific for wildfire. Don't mind if u know that.]

Can anybody tell wich is better in your opinion, ADW or launcherpro?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekuax:
Hi All

I installed Launcher Pro... let me tell you it has thrown out all my doubts !!!

Really cool...and fast..an excellent launcher app...with gr8 looks...

but the problems are not having weather and clock widgets (My home screen looks empty without this...) Can anyone one tell what weather and clock widgets are there in market for free so that I can use in my launcher pro..

note : I tried the gtab simi clock.. but I dont know if I went wrong with its settings..when i add the clock widget to my home screen that place blacks out ! means not showing the clock even though I set the time and other stuffs...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekuax:
Bro...

Launcher pro is really cool u will love it once you install and start using it..
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekuax:
Thats gr8 to know... I will try it out..yeah I know that live wallpaper will not work with Wildfire until you have rooted it. By the way I used the links provided by '3xeno' to get some wallpapers..those are really good looking...

Also I read in that thread that using .png files gives more stylish view of a picture than .jpeg is that true ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Format by itself doesn't make any difference. For the Clock and Weather Widget, Google for Fancy Widget 1.3.0. It's a replica of the HTC Widget, but was removed from the market for violating HTC's copyrights, but, it can still be found on many sites. (The market has the new version of Fancy Widget, but, it obviously doesn't look like HTC's, but, the Pro version (Paid) has a skin which looks like one)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekuax:
I tried to set the Sim clock again... what is width of left side in pixels.. default is 120.. but when i use it as 120 itself.. the place where it is suppose to show the time blacks out and it only displays 15 and black colur ends there... where it is supposed to show as 15|28 - which is the current time in 24 hour !
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Use 50. 120 will start the display of the clock from the centre of the screen.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekuax:
Bharath...

That was really a lot of information.... I started using Launcher Pro (lite) and its really coool... I have started using gtab Simi clock widget which have weather and battery combined to it..

Initially I was not sure with the settings of simi clock ..with the help of 3xeno I made it possible and now its working gr8... As 3xeno said I downloaded fancy widget 1.3.0 - and that looks exactly the same of HTC flip clock.. But I prefer more 'simi clock' beacause it only eats up a little space in home screen compared to 'fancy clock'...

By the way any one has an idea which free widget or app is there that i can include to launcher pro which will work exactly the same as picture dial (HTC phone widget with specific groups) ??
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Free people widget for lite version.....

Well i didn't get u actually. But what u said sounds like the People widget of htc sense (which will be generally with the title favourites in a freshly formatted phone). If it is so, giving some information here.

Actually there is a similar inbuilt "People" widget in the launcher pro plus (full version). As i said before LPP unlocks its widgets, and this is the one of them. It will be same like the htc sense "People" widget.

And in the market, presently there is another free widget called "people widget" (by mjdev). It is the same as the above two widgets. This widget requires enabling of "scrollable widgets" feature and it works with both launcher pro and adw launcher.

Go to the Preferences > General settings > of ur launcher pro lite/full version and enable scrollable widgets there. Then u can use it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] b3asty:
So I am sitting in the Atlanta airport and came to the realization that my lovely new Infuse cannot tether. I should have known since I have yet to try rooting it. I picked it up on Friday and have been taking baby steps. (Don't want to brick it..lol) So I call ATT and asked to have tethering added figuring I would just pay for it until I root. They told me I would Have come off of my unlimited data plan in order to tether. Of course, I politely declined. H to the No.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] z_zk_z:
no rooting

I am looking into the PDANET program for that purpose. It doesn't provide wireless but has USB/BT options, which is fine with me because the USB option would also charge the phone...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] b3asty:
As of a few minutes go, I am now ROOTED!!! SuperOneClick rocks! Screw big brother. About to install wifi tether and press on with my unlimited plan. hah:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lost2030:
Awesome!! That's how it's done!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MNMichael:
If you are rooted, just use Bloat Freezer or Ti Backup Pro to freeze the Tethering Manager. Then you can use the Samsung Mobile AP.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theryder007:
Rooted and ready to tethering

You guys rock, im using my Infuse in Dominican Republic and unlocked it to work with Claro H+ plan, it works perfect with wifi tether...... SuperOneclick + Wifi tether and that's it....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hwaters:
you really do want to freeze the tethermanager.apk

otherwise the phone will let at&t know that you're using some third party wifi tethering stuff.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
There is absolutely no need for third-party tethering apps. Just freeze/delete the AT&T tethering APK mentioned above, or install any of the alternate ROMs.

Yes, this is one case where REMOVING an app increases functionality.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
yeah but all phones have something standing in the way of tethering. funnily enough, even if i payed for tethering, id still kill off tethermanager because it takes like five minutes to check if you even can. i wouldnt do that every time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TechGoon954:
Killing the AT&T tethering APK

I've heard reports that AT&T can see if you freeze or delete this APK any reports that this is actually true?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
and how would they go about doing that? with tethermanager gone, they dont have any services that report back to att. if i where to install a new rom, they definitely wouldnt have anything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Yup. That APK itself is the bigbrotherware.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
How would that work?

With the APK killed/frozen, it's not reporting, so to AT&T, it just looks like your not tethering.

The only time Tetheringmanager sends any info, is when your tethering, so with the APK killed, it's not sending anything.

Your in the clear. ^^

I've been AP teathering with both my old cappy and this infuse for as long as I have been able to.an other than the occasional question about how I can use 12gigs in one month on my phone, they are none the wiser. I live out in the sticks where our internet options are satellite, dial up and mobile internet. My wife and I both used to use aircards until I discovered wifi-teather (on my 2.1 cappy). Now my wife has a Dell Streak, stock not rooted, running 2.2 and teathering (also unlimited data). The kids love it because now the ps3 hooks to the internet as well as their phones and laptops.

I wish I did not have to root to use mobile AP (who am I kidding I love rooting and flashing)

hey XDAs,

i got a arc launcher that already comes with a themed dock.

now i wanted to change the dock and i got this folders where i replaced this file with another .png of the same size.

when i try to install the launcher i get "application not installed" error.

do i need to change more than just the icon or what did i wrong?
[LG Optimus 2x] monkeytown:
so....nobody? :(

got the same error with app icons, too.
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
Should work if not you could try to recompile the apk with new png.

How did u install it? Flash via CWM or copy over?

1. Did u remove previous version first? Must be done first unless your flashing via cwm.

2. Also with framework dependancies etc remove any arc widgets prior to installing, install arc launcher then reinstall or copy over widgets again.

hows the lcd bleed? gps lock?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
I just got one from Amazon last Thursday with a 5/6/11 date stamp on the back of the box (label with all the bar codes). Battery date stamp is 4/19/11.

Screen bleed is almost non-existent. There is a tiny, TINY bit on the right side of the screen, but you have to hold the phone at an extreme angle to see it at all. Totally invisible 99.99% of the time.

GPS seems to work fine on both stock build and EaglesBlood 1.0.4 FROYO (staying away from Gingerbread builds until all that nonsense stabilizes).

Looking at the pics in other threads, my lcd flat panel for my computer has screen bleed at each corner, and is only noticable on back background. It was previously used for business and on for many hours each day.

Just saying, I have a feeling its part manufacturing process, and part screen technology since some people its minimal and for some its worse.

i no you must get this asked all the time. i am sorry to bother about this. Im a little confused. Im trying to install andriod 2.3.4 gingerbread on my hd2.

i am following the steps from americanandroids thread on how to install.

my radio code is 2.15.50.14

rom version 3.14.405.2

So i believe i dont need to change them. loaded all android files onto hd2 clicked both files and it boots. HOWEVER the problem is when it runs the script ( the white wrighting) it only rights 4ish lines then the htc logo appears and nothing happens. left it for 2 hour, tried this 4 times.

The only thing i can think of is i havent formatted my sd card. Please somoeone help me out??

thank you very much :)

Is there a clrcad.exe to run before haret?

If it stucks on the screen running codes, can you read at what line it has stuck?

And as you said, try formatting your SD card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azer0:
First thing, format the sd card, usually that will sort the problem.

If not, try and download the files again and/or try another rom, if the problem still persists, then most probably your winmo rom is not able to load android, get a custom winmo rom from here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=980. make a backup of your current rom > task29 > install custom rom > format sd card (again) > move files to sd > clrcad + haret. Hope this will sort your problem, otherwise go NAND

im assuming you have hspl installed, right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matt--p:
thank you for the information i will try this now, and no i dont have hspl installed, is this where i power off and hold down the volume button wasnt sure that needed to happen im abit confused?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matt--p:
yes there is im unsure on the code, and ill try it thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azer0:
Hspl its not actually needed to load SD roms, but as I said before, some original roms wont allow you to boot android from SD, therefore you'll need a custom rom, but you can't install custom rom without having hspl.

So, if after formatting your SD, you still can't boot android then install hspl, then install custom rom, copy files to SD, tap clrcad + haret

[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
It's probably also worth noting that, even with Mango's fast task switching, apps may need to be updated to take full advantage of it.

If an app doesn't know about the new dormant app model, then when you switch to it, it may behave the same way it does today as far as thinking it needs to rehydrate its saved state (or restart completely). It will probably still be faster than it is today, even in a worst case scenario, but apps that are updated with the new dormant model will be instantaneous.
