[HTC Sensation] hal752:
Don't forget the red accents on the camera speaker grill and red LEDs. It also has a larger battery to cover the overclock.

I have a Sensation XE and its the exact same phone. Thought I did notice that the LCD panel on the xe does appear to be a little more brighter and clearer. Might have just being a defective sensation model
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
You probably had the sharp screen on your first sensation. Much duller than the Acer screen. I just got my original sensation replaced because of dust under the screen and had the sharp screen. The new one has Acer and I am way happier with it. Way brighter and more vivid with awesome viewing angle. Some prefer the sharp though.
[HTC Sensation] catlax:
Thanks for the info,

Have you ever tried to flash any ROM which is available for Sensation to Sensation XE?

and also can we use the How to root or how to flash.. procedures prepared for Sensation also for our Sensation XE?

Thanks in advance for your replies. Cheers mate.:good:
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Yes. The two models are IDENTICAL. The only difference is aesthetics. Overclock an beats audio don't count as custom ROMs and kernels provide them.

[HTC Sensation] Hitorijanae:
The reason the XL has its own forum is because

1)The XL has a single core. The Sensation has dual core.

2)The XL has a 4.7" screen. The Sensation has a 4.3" screen.

3)The XL has WVGA(480x800). The Sensation has qHD(960x540).

These reasons make Sensation(XE) ROMS incompatible with the XL.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sti-06:
I upgraded to LA4 and realized that letters are a lot smaller that the previous firmware I had. My fingers are too big for a tiny keyboard. I mean we have 5.3" screen what is the point of shrinking the letters that much?

Anyways, how can I get my old keyboard back or a keyboard that is bigger than the LA4 keyboard?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitzyman:
I liked the bigger keyboard better. the new one is too small for me.

I would appreciate it if some knew how to get the older keyboard back instead of reverting to an older rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madbird:
hi, maybe im wrong, but could it be that you guys have been under settings->language&Keyboard and have set a tap to an option that called 'one hand operation' ? if yes delete the tap and you have your old keyboard back
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexanderbooth:
Also smart keyboard on the market, allows you to increase its keys to whatever pixel size you want :-D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sti-06:
No, I dont have that feature on. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

I am not a big fan of 3rd party keyboard apps but in this case I will try that. Thank you.

Any other suggestions are welcomed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AA1973:
I use hacker's keyboard from the market. There you can set the height of the keys if you want to.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] GUZZLR:
Hello all,

On the Samsung Infuse, does anybody know of an app to keep the capacitive buttons lit while the screen is on. The phone is not rooted.

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
you need to be rooted and running a kernel that supports it.

and then you can use an app off the market called BLN Control to customize it further.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
BLN doesn't work for the infuse

I want to use link2sd and already partitioned my sd card into ext4 and fat32. Can someone point out a thread that explains how to do so? All i've found is for the sgs4g and other phones
[Android Software Development] 0xD34D:
While working on making the port of MIUI for the Kindle Fire more usable for the tablet I decided to take on modifying the launcher. After a bit of smali work I was able to allow the number of rows and columns in the launcher to be adjusted.

Although I originally intended this mod to be primarily for the Kindle Fire port of MIUI.us, I have received numerous requests for the modified apk. So, without further ado, I bring to the masses the MIUI Launcher with adjustable homescreen grid size. I started this mod with MIUI 2.1.13 so make sure you download the APK that goes with your version of MIUI.

Please note this will not work with other ROMs as it relies heavily on the MIUI framework.

Instructions

--------------------------------

1) Download the appropriate APK and place it in the root of your SD card

2) Rename the file to Launcher2.apk

3) Using either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (with root privileges) copy the file to /system/app

4) Change the file permissions to -rw-r--r--

5) At this point your Launcher probably closed so press home to bring it back up. At this point it should be the new modified version. If not, just reboot your device.

6) Go to launcher settings and adjust the # of columns and rows you would like. hint: start out with small values and increase them as you see fit

7) Once you change the # of columns and rows press Reset Launcher to get the launcher to use the new settings.

8) Enjoy getting a little more room for your favorite apps and widgets.

great mod mate!

but only tablets?

can i use it on my Galaxy S 2 ?

cheers,

SX
[Android Software Development] 0xD34D:
Nope not just tablets. It started out as a need for something better on a tablet but it should work just as well on other devices.

The request I was receiving were for people that wanted to use it on their phone and it has worked well for them. :)
[Android Software Development] squall_kay:
bro,

1. do it support scrollable widget?

2. support widget resize?
[Android Software Development] SignalX:
+1 for widget resizing

cheers,

SX
[Android Software Development] Jaani:
@OP can u port it to CM7 plzzz???
[Android Software Development] 0xD34D:
1. No

2. No

#1 is probably much more of a realistic possibility, while #2 would really take some work seeing as I am working in pure smali. That's not to say it can't be done, but with the way the MIUI launcher deals with widget placement, it may take quite a bit of work to implement it.
[Android Software Development] 0xD34D:
If I had the time to dig into such an endeavor, I would. Right now I have other projects that require my attention.

Who knows, I may need a little break and decide to give it a shot.
[Android Software Development] owain94:
nice work bro!

i got a request for you

can you make the edits needed for this nice hack in the launcher2.apk in THIS zip?

the launcher2.apk included in the zip above does support scrollable widgets

and when you change the density the icons will remain all the same size

and the text label will be just under the icon instead of in the icon like in your screenshots

i hope you can look at it thanks

PS. the .13 launcher just works in the .20 rom
[Android Software Development] 0xD34D:
I'm not about to go and use another person's work without permission. I'll have to make sure it is alright with the original creator of that mod before using their work. I can however, look into what it takes to enable these features and just implement them myself. The icon title is an easy one so no worries there. Scrollable widgets however, I have not used so I'll have to take a look at them.

True, the 2.1.13 launcher does work, but there are some subtle differences in them that may or may not be an issue. If it works and there are no issues then great, but if there are it may be best to use the version that corresponds to the ROM.
[Android Software Development] bluxart:
Will this work on the ICS test 1.11.9 build? I'm not sure what the newer updates include as far as the code, but I figure they might include some of the stuff from 1.11.9 :confused:
[Android Software Development] 0xD34D:
No. This is for MIUI ROMs at the moment.
[Android Software Development] bluxart:
1.11.9 is MIUI. It's just an unofficial build. See here
[Android Software Development] 0xD34D:
Nope not gonna work.

Let me try this one more time. It is for MIUI v2.1.13 or v2.1.20. Those version numbers are from the official miui.com versions.
[Android Software Development] Marshy919:
If you change the grid size, your folders look terrible once opened.

Not working for me on MIUI 2.1.13 on HTC HD2 NAND

After replace of Launcher only Bootloop!
[Android Software Development] sUsH667:
thx

working for me, thx for that!

only thing i really miss is the possibilty to deactivate the text label of the apps under the icons, because depending on the values i choose for gridsize the names overlap each other, so it would make sense if they could be deactivated.

do you think there is a possibility to include this feature? or could/would you tell me how i can do it myself?

greetz,

[Android Software Development] Dhiraj:
Can anyone make it for non miui Rom .

HTC Sense 3.5,Android 2.3.5
[Android Software Development] CyberpunkDad:
Great looking mod, any chance you can make a mod for MIUI 2.2.3?
[Android Software Development] sUsH667:
you should try this one which i pulled from the switch-tweaks-pack made by prazaar, all credits go to him!

just copy it to /system/app overwriting the existing launcher in there (backup before!) and giving it rw-r--r-- permissions, then restart and that's it. if you experience any problems you could wipe cache and dalvik-cache and reboot again, but i don't think it is necessary.

i am using this one and it has customizable grid-size AND the possibilty to deactivate the text label of the apps under the icons and all the other stuff, too!

as always, i am not responsible for nothing bla...

greetz,

sUsH667
[Android Software Development] 0xD34D:
Actually I beg to differ that all credits go to prazaar. I took a couple of minutes to disassemble that Launcher2.apk and the stuff related to the custom grid size appears to be taken straight from my modifications.

Hijacking a thread to promote another person's work is one thing, but giving them credit for work they blatantly copied from someone else is not cool.

Like many in the Android community, I do this on my spare time and share my work with others so that they may enjoy what I have done. All I ask for in return is a respect for my work and proper credit to be given.
[Android Software Development] hockeyfamily737:
^^^ I can attest ^^^

lithium76 always in the IRC fixing the stuff the rest of us break.
[Android Software Development] sUsH667:
sry for that!!! due to my little knowledge i thought it was prazaars work...

i don't think i hijacked this thread, i was just so glad that i found that launcher that i wanted to share it, i did NOT have any bad intentions and as you can see i really wanted to give credit to the maker, again, i did not know it was your work or partly your work/just partly prazaars work!

SORRY! if you want i will completely delete my post, just drop me a line!

May I request this particular launcher be applied the mod ? Its for MIUI 2.1.6, from PatchRom

If you could PLEASE do it, id be ever grateful.
[Android Software Development] Stahuuuu:
Thanks for launcher but... is it possible to remove icon labels? And fix folders.
[Android Software Development] rrroach:
Great work! Do you think you could also add resizable widgets somehow? That'd make this a definite winner as a launcher! :)
[Android Software Development] jdee323:

[Android Software Development] rod1:
Any chance you could apply your mods to the new Miui MiHome app? At the moment it's really Tablet friendly..
[Android Software Development] yure:
Hey guys, I was looking for a "grid layout" mod and also didn't find anything as of yet. I finally made the modifications myself. It actually is really simple :)

1. Extract your MiuiHome.apk from the ROM you're using

2. Use the apktool 1.5 to decompile the apk

3. Have a look in MiuiHome/res/values/arrays.xml (not sure about the extension)

4. Search for 4x4 or 4x5 and You'll find the block where we can insert the custom layout(s)

5. Copy one of the existing lines and place it directly under the last layout definition

6. Change the value to 6x6 for example

7. There is another block which looks similar to the first one. Copy the previous created entries and place them directly under the last layout definition.

8. Recompile MiuiHome and don't forget to sign it.

9. Replace the original with yours and don't forget to set the right permissions.

I just wrote this mini how-to by heart so I might have explained something unclear, wrong or both. If there is enough interest in this mod I'll write up a more detailed guide.

Cheers! :)

curious as to if I can use this for the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with Paranoid Android CM10 Hybrid v2.0 9/6/2012 build????? cause this looks sick =)
[Android Software Development] yure:
Depends on Your DPI settings which is 240 by default for the SII. You'll need extra space to be able to place the extra icons. If the launcher doesn't have enough room it will keep crashing until You've set it to a grid layout that does have the space needed. The mod itself should work on all MiuiHome.apk files btw.
[Android Software Development] jdee323:
Thanks for the guide. I got it working on mihome launcher. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to remove the icon labels. I already got the option in the settings, but it just doesn't work yet. Any ideas?

At the moment I don't have time to take a look at it. Did You find a solution?

Any chance you can get this working for MiHome? I know you said before the hack you use doesn't work because it is so dependant on MIUI framework libraries, but maybe things have changed since you last looked into it?

Which version should I use if I am running MIUI version 2.11.23? Thanks

Update: Tried it with both and neither would launch when selected using the Home key. Verified permissions were set correctly and rebooted, but the launcher would not launcher, just crash upon selection. I'm running galaxy note i717 with MIUI 2.11.23.

[Nexus S General] quiquegabriel:
Ok so, I was going to flash CM 9 v1 on my device, and when i was in clockworkmod recovery I noticed that the power button wasn't working at all.

I took out the battery and put it back and then it reboot itself and got stuck on the unlocked padlock screen.

Then i managed to boot it by pressing vol up and down at the same time and putting the battery in when plugged on the computer with the usb cable. This is the only way i can boot it. And after it runs a while it crashes and reboot into the unlocked padlock again. And this over and over.

Then I tried to go to recovery to reflash with the soft sensitive buttons and the fastboot screen doesn't do anything at all. If I press vol up or down to move around it gets stuck.

Got it to work a while and reverted back to stock rom with rom manager to see if fastboot worked again but nothing happened.

I need help to fix this.

I try to go to download mode but it doesn't work either. ADB works tho

Any suggestion??

(sorry fot the bad english)
[Nexus S General] kevin0905:
i actually had the exact same issue a few weeks ago

it was an issue with the power button itself since i got everything back to stock and the power button still wasnt working properly

i had to send it to samsung repair center

they fixed it for free and it turns out the issue was indeed the power button

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFanatic206:
Doesn't say anything at all. It show them color with system(SPL) info in the first bar then the SD partition in the second bar. But the white bar where it supposedly have the "USB" or "Serial" in text there when the usb is connected but it doesn't.

Well here you go, the USB is connected as you can see.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
well, doesn't look like your device is Full or Half Bricked...

does your device charge when on & connected to PC? does it connect to Zune?

perhaps all the needed drivers aren't installed? i.e. Active Sync / Windows Mobile Device Center

haven't ever seen a non-Bricked device that wouldn't show Serial / USB while in Bootloader.

maybe try Step 7a on the tutorial i wrote? link in my signature.

or ask in the WP7 Dev & Hacking forum, here.

A friend of mine experienced the exact issue you're having with his phone.. No text in the white box.. I took a chance & simply started up in bootloader, linked to pc via usb cable, then attempted a flash. It worked fine.. I'm not making any promises though because I still haven't been able to find an answer as to what causes the phone to not display the text in the white-box.. Maybe the text is here, but the font color is white for whatever reason.. I honestly don't know, just thought I'd report to you that I was able to flash the device successfully...

If you're flashing a custom rom for the first time please take Sh4d0w86's advice and read his tutorial first.. PM me if you need the step-by-step method..

I have a problem with playing video content on my Prime. i use the ES File Manager and MX Video player Pro. all the time the video launches fine and closes on its own after several seconds. this happens using video content with different codec. i actualy have 2 Primes and i have the same issue on both of them...is there any ideas what could be wrong?

i will try other players to see the differences.

any feedback is welcomed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfrzy:
I use the stock File Manager, it does everything I need it to, so I haven't downloaded any other file managing app. Is there something the stock one lacks that I can gain by using ES or any other app?

As for video playback problem, I used to use MX Video Player and it worked for a couple days then started force crashing like you said. I rebooted, but that didn't alleviate the problem, so I just uninstalled and downloaded Dice Player. It's been working great for me and I watch a few TV episodes and movies a day. Give it a try I'd rate it at least a 4.5/5.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stutunaru:
the ES manager is working fine and i prefer it because all my video, music, docs libraries are on my NAS.

i will definitively try the Dice Player as i heard its good from other sources as well.

hi folks, i used to come to this forum all the time back in the day when i had my original G1 and then my HD2 and other phones (i dropped off the face of the planet and also forgot my password to my old account, the captcha system is horrendous BTW)

my question is is there any root options and custom rom options for the motorola DROID PRO (verizon)/XPRT (sprint?) -- YES, i've searched and any information i've found is pretty old and seems outdated. i rather not risk bricking my phone with something that no long works. so if someone could pretty please point me in the right direction i would appreciate it so much.

other questions: if rooting is possible on my droidpro -- what custom roms can i use on it?

thank you so much for any help you send my way.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Since we're not flashing radios, is it still possible that a ROM could change call quality?

My call quality is bad now and was really good before flashing the ROM. Ineffibalis GB version. Hadn't read anything about it in that thread so thought I'd ask in general forum to see if that is even possible that that is the cause. Or the kernel? Or the combo?

I have low volume on speakerphone now, to the point where I need to hold it up to my ear as if it's not even on. If I don't use speakerphone on one call I could barely hear my friend and now I just got off phone with a different friend and she was louder (she always is ;)) but it was distorted. She said I sounded muffled.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Okay, everything was fine on the call to my mom, good thing since it's her birthday. ;)

Will test again with the same friends later.

EDIT: Okay, this may have been a false alarm as far as it doesn't seem to be a permanent issue. Before I called my mom I had installed Adaway and needed to reboot for that so maybe the reboot helped. I called one of the same friends again and it was normal on my end and better on hers, she did still say I was sounding a little bit muffled but I doubt it was anything major that was really a problem and could have been her headset.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Happy birthday, fera's mom! Lol the only issue I had on that rom was that my speakerphone seemed to disappear.
