Nice set up!

I was wondering if you would mind giving a brief step by step on how to set up the clickable categories?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
Haha thanks man, and hell yeah Philly.

Ok, so the widgets you'll need are (going by the way I did it):

ADW Ex (I used 1.3.3.1)

Simple Text

1. First you're going to need to create .png files for your categories (ex. Home, News, Music, etc.) I think it might be best to keep them within 200x100, a transparent background if you'd like it like mine. Make a blank icon while you're at it.

2. Add widget > Simple Text 1x1 Use one of the category pictures you just made.

3. Launcher Action > Homescreen X (Jumps to whichever homescreen you specify; aka, my Home tab was Homescreen 1, my News tab was Homescreen 2, etc.)

4. Edit the Homescreen action and delete the label (or simply turn off labels in ADW Ex) and make the icon your blank icon that you made earlier.

5. Put your homescreen action in place, and overlap it with the category picture widget.

And you've done it, when you click on your category, it will now jump to whatever screen you've specified.

It's a bit of a process, I know, but once you get into the groove of things it gets done quick enough. What took me the most time was making the icons because I kept trying new sizes and offsets. I'd recommend offsetting your text a little to the right so that it doesn't lie against the edge of your screen, unless you're aiming to do so.

Sorry if that was a little much, if there's enough interest I could try and make a quick video tutorial.

How does this all look in portrait?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
I actually have mine locked in landscape, but I just checked and it seems that widgets begin to overlap when I rotate the screen.

Now, the sidebar on the other hand is still functional and looks decent, although more spaced out between items and there is a tiny gap between the bottom of the dark bar and the screen.

Here's what it looks like:

I wouldn't doubt that if you were so inclined, you could create a portrait-version of this setup though, it may come out funky when you want to make it landscape.

Can someone get me up to speed on how you set your location for the weather apps?

Specifically I'm using Palmary Weather, when I attempt to enter the info it tells me "No Network Connection: even though my wifi is connected.

Thanks!

Edit: Got it, had to reboot to get the app and my network connection to sync. Wifi was showing attempt to authenticate but also had an IP & was able to get to market... weird.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
You can set up the location manually, but as far as I've seen, there's no way to turn on location settings for weather/location specific apps yet.

Maybe that snowball mod has it enabled, but I haven't been able to install that quite yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
No, the snowball-mod doesn't turn on location services... as far as I know anyways... as drastic of a full-conversion snowball-mod is, it still isn't magic.

Nice job SG Pillar. I really like that layout. I think that I will give that a try on mine. Thank you for sharing.

Well I like to switch between portrait and landscape, so I don't think that style would be ideal for me. Haha thanks though!

@SG Pillar I can't seem to get my widgets to touch the edge of my screen or overlap. What setting am I missing?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jread:
Thanks for the encouragement man. I just finished the process and I provided the appropriate thanks. I learned a ton while doing it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
You need to be using ADW Ex launcher version 1.3.3.1 or below. From 1.3.3.5 and above, it no longer lets widgets run all the way to the edge of the screen for some reason.

To get widgets to overlap go to ADW Settings > UI Settings and check Overlap Widgets. Also be sure to go to Advanced Settings and check Auto Stretch on.

I personally use 1.3.3, 1.3.3.1's UI looked too blown-up for me.

A couple questions:

How do you get the semi transparent area on the side where the text is?

How do you get the text to turn a color when you are on its respective screen? Edit: I figured this one out, I'm guessing you just made a colored widget for each screen
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xecuter:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
The semi-transparant area was originally through Minimalistic Text, but on my second version now, I edited the background itself.

For the text, you're right. For each category I made two versions, a blue one and a white one. For each given hub, I used the blue one for its title.

Just curious, I know you said it wasn't functional, but what did you do for that bottom bar?

I've a question regarding using ADW EX Launcher Pro on the nook tablet:

how do I make the dock stay at the bottom of the screen in landscape mode? I can't seem to find that function in settings, and my dock stays at the right side of the dock :\

really annoying me
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] codygs83:
I don't think there is a way to have the quick launch icons on the bottom while in landscape view, I believe it's just a fault of adw.

It's the same thing on my droid bionic. Icons are on the right while in landscape view also.

I just replaced the pngs in SystemUI.apk to ics icons :p havent figure a way to move them around yet. playing around w it yesterday but ended up with a missing status bar.. i think i wasn't recompiling the apk properly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
Ahhh I had a feeling that was it, but wasn't sure if you hadn't found some app or made a nonfunctional bar or something.

Did you have to resize them or did they shrink down to accommodate the smaller task bar?

Edit: Mind uploading your SystemUI.apk?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Sorry if it was answered before, but i was out of the loop for a while.

Is there a way to modify the generic bottom bar on the NT, namely the book reader shortcut, and the little back button? Can we customize it yet?

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
A few people are working on it/looking into it.

Nothing besides making the buttons persistent or changing the way the icons look has been done yet.

SG Pillar, do you think it would be possible? :-)

I mean, uploading your launcher apk file, and then maybe also the system apk where the settings are loaded? I have tried and tried but can't seem to get as nice a screen as you do -.-'
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
Well I'm using ADW Launcher Ex 1.3.3 (an older version) but its a paid app.

My backgrounds are now edited to be greyed out instead of using Minimalistic Text, but I can try and pull my System.apk and ADW backups of my launcher settings and desktop configuration.

Edit: Couldn't find the System.apk but here are my ADW backup files.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BangDK:
Thanks, i'll try and see if i can use that :-). Btw, i was wondering: does anybody know if you can make like a backup of for example your GO Launcher and then update it?

Cus im really in love with that fella..
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cybork44:
dude! SG Pillar, your screen is an inspiration!

First off, you definitely deserve screen of the new year. Second, a couple questions.

1. Did you completely debloat when you rooted, or can you still get back to the B&N UI if you wanted?

2. You mentioned that you lock your screen in landscape, but can you easily flip it in to portrait when surfing the web or reading a book?

thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
Ive looked all over the web and literally did not sleep last night trying to figure this out, not a wink. I got this phone as new as used gets from ebay. It was unlocked, i relocked it and have the stock rom back on it. No matter what Ive tried I cant get audio with the youtube app in HQ/full screen mode, but if i select the "fast download" quality i have audio and of course less then ideal video. Ive tried hard resetting, someone suggested pulling the battery out to reset the speaker (speaker works fine with everything else), and someone suggested a hard reset, and then changing all internet connections to media net. this supposedly worked for them, but not me. Anyone have any ideas? Either i hear nothing out of the speaker in full screen or i hear static. Codec issue? Driver issue?.. Theres other youtube apps around that are from roms or made by google.. they work fine but the video quality just isnt there for me like it is on the stock youtube app, im a perfectionist, this is annoying especially since youtube worked on my last tilt 2. Is anyone else having this problem? I literally have not slept because its driving me nuts. Im usually able to fix this stuff, and my last tilt 2 that i broke had youtube working fine. Ideas????? Thank you so much for helping me keep my sanity and not be an insomniac perfectionist. I really appreciate it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
So YouTube works great, just not with the quality you expect?

lol, it's YouTube dude. Don't expect high quality.

You don't mention anything about wifi or 3g tho. Have you tried on wifi?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
Help me please. This shouldnt be happening.

No it doesnt work great at all. In High quality download mode the picture is absolutely great but no audio at all. I didnt have this problem with my last tilt 2.. no audio in full screen/hd download mode. The video quality is amazing but i have no freakin audio unless i select it to be downloaded as a crappier quality "fast download" option. So "fast download" works (audio and video) but sucks by nature, and HQ/full screen has amazing video but no audio at all. Havent tried wifi, will do that now. If i dont repost an update by 6:45 P.M. eastern time that didnt work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
ok... i put wifi on, and now when i try to play a video it just says "connecting" and sits there... odd.??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
helllllppppp

ok, got it to connect with wifi. still no sound in high quality/full screen mode.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Then there's something wrong with your phone. Why did you relock and flash stock?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
ok... the genius somehow got it working! Just a matter of fooling around with settings that you wouldnt think of... thats why its called a bug. I have andvanced config.... so i turned off "fixed landscape mode" and for the HTC audio booster settings i made sure they were all set to default... now its beautiful as it gets. crazy. once again, thats why they call it a bug. I need to get hired as an IT guy dammit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
Oh, and since re-locking the phone it has not froze on bootup at the orange windows mobile startup graphic. Not even once. It was doing it ridiculously frequently before.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:

HTC Touch Pro 2 CAB

Hello,

Does anyone have a working HTC Youtube app (perhaps cab) for the HTC Touch Pro 2? I had a problem with my original app not playing sound when viewing HD/HQ videos; however it played sound when watching in Fast Download, but the video quality was horrible. I downloaded the latest Google app which seems to play sound OK, but I not like the design of the app as the video playback did not fill the screen. Unfortunately, when I downloaded Google it overwrote the original HTC app and I cannot get it back without doing a hard reset, which I prefer not to do. I found HTC Youtube version 2.6 (Build 1922.4122) while surfing this board, but it does not play sound too. I think me original version was 2.6 (Build 2011.1727).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

RE: HTC Touch Pro 2 YouTube CAB

Thanks mr.horndoctor,

Unfortunately, this is HTC YouTube CAB - LEO YouTube_2_6_19224122.cab, which is the CAB that I am currently using and does not play sound in most HD/HQ modes. I am hoping to find my original version was 2.6 (Build 2011.1727), or greater that will work on the Touch Pro 2. What's interesting is I have seen this problem reported for quite some time, but I have not seen a final closure or resolution to the problem.

Thanks again for your effort.

wt*?????

His solution was I should send back my kindle if I dont like it. WT*???

I tried a chat with Amazon, on the Amazon homepage trough my kindle fire.....

OMG----try it yourself, turn the screen...all messed up...

I am sorry, but I am really not impressed, I wanted to be...very much but I am not.

Before I forget, did anyone check the extra charges for downloading stuff from the cloud if you are NOT in the US?

Lets say I bought a book on kindle, dl-ed it. traveled abroad....bock doesnt work, I want to re download it.....and need to pay EXTRA for the DATA transfer from the cloud because I am not in the US....

Whats wrong with that guys?

Has anyone used any kernels for HTC Sensation 4g (TMO US) above 1.566Ghz?

I am currently using a ROM by Mike1986 and kernel witch took my phone to 1.566Ghz and i am loving it.

However, i am a big OC freak and i would like some pointers on any tested kernels above 1.566Ghz, preferably that work well with Mike1986's ROM as i find them to be most stable our of all i have tried (i have tried 3 different types).

I honestly don't see the benefits except lower battery life and a warmer device, I doubt you'll notice the speed difference past like 1GHz. All of the higher freqs seem pretty much the same and aren't really worth the bother with, use a governor that accesses higher freqs quicker and you won't be needing high freqs.
[HTC Sensation] dronepro:
What governor would you suggest??? also, i know that when using you phone and maybe even playing games i wouldn't see much of a difference between the stock 1.2 Ghz vs 1.5 or 1.9Ghz but it's all about the bragging rights, lol. I like to go to my geeky friends and slappin’ a higher clock frequency than they have on their poor devices or silly I Phones. Also I have to tell you from my tests I do see Mike1986’s latest 3.6.7/4.1.7 Rom using much less battery life than stock Rom. I have noticed about a 10% improvement, maybe even more.

Also i do see a big improvement in Benchmarks. When i was using stock 1.2Ghz setting i was benchmarking much lower than the 1,5Ghz i am at now.

Thanks again for the input.
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
The benefit of custom ROMS and kernels, is that they are optimized to run well. Unless the chef sucks, most big name ROMS are optimized and more efficient.

I was running 1.2ghz for a while and whenever I'm playing Snes roms it would FC. After bumping it up to 1.72ghz it never did it again. Although 1.72ghz may be overkill for what I use my phone for but everything seems to be running extremely smooth.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
I use conservative(810/192), super charger v6, ultra smooth rosie on 4.1.6. I haven't used benches, but they'll be low on this ROM since I'm assuming it's based on the Sense 3.5 leak for sensation.

Hello,

this will be a pretty extensive post, but I want to give you as much info as I can so you can help me :)

I got a second had EU HD2 with a stock bootloader, radio, rom, ect.

Bootloader: 1.42.0000

Rom: 1.66.479.2 (76641) WWE

Radio: 2.07.51.22_2

Protocol: 15.32.50.07U

I read the forum for a couple of years now and I'm pretty familiar with all the procedures for flashing (I own a couple more htcs,

flashed in every possible way)

The problem is that the battery life is very poor: after a hard reset, so no previously installed apps, not using gps, BT, WiFi, or

anything (even phone in airplane mode), I get 6-7 hrs battery life. Even in standby the battery drains at almost the same rate.

SpoonCharge says -140ma - -150ma with no app or anything in airplane mode. I tried 2 more batteries known to go over 2 days with other

hd2s.

So, I decide the problem might be in the rom and go ahead to flash to a new one:

I chose the Artemis v.65 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=612580

I read all the instructions and all other linked to them threads. Started flashing to the stock LEO-S 3.14 with the instructions here -

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8776196&postcount=26465

Flashed to SPL 1.66.0000, as said in step 2.

Tried to enter bootloader with VolDown and PowerOn, but it just starts the OS. From inside the OS I can enter bootloader with the EndKey

from johcos but ONLY that way! I tried another bootloader, 1.66HSPL, 2.08 SPL and HSPL, 3.03 SPL - nothing - I cant enter bootloader

manually - only through the EndKey with booted OS.

SO - why the hell??

I can go into bootloader through the EndKey, but I fear flashing because if something happens and the flashing doesn't go as expected I

wont be able to enter bootloader and fix things, no matter with USB sync or SD!

At one (brave) point I tried to flash the RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship from here -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623283 - but it got to 1% and displayed an error: "Update utility not compatible with

device" or something similar.

So, bottom line after this long read:

1. Why/How can't/can I get into bootloader manually?

2. Why at the first place the batt life is so poor with all processes around 0%?

Thank you for the time spent reading my story!

and

Thanks in advance for any help!

here's some "hepl"

1- post in the corect section. The general forum is for these questions you know. it's quite odd for someone who've read the forums for years to make such mistake.

2- Since it's a second hand device, god knows what the previous owner did to it.

3- Does the volume down hardware key work when WinMo is running?

4- Do you turn on the device while holding down the volume down key, or do you press it after it starts, or release it before it starts?

5- I'm pretty sure the artemis build you're trying to get needs SPL 3.03 which you can get here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11499585&postcount=3

6- try your device with SD removed. And make sure you haven't installed any program that runs in the background on the SD.
