[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] officialreloaded:
Hi everybody, I and my girlfriend both using Optimus Black mobiles; I'm on Cyanogenmod7 and she is on stock (rooted) rom for ease of her use. Now, her birthday is coming this February, so along with regular stuffs i've bought for her, i've decided to gift her a rom. (;) :D ). The basic idea is, i create a custom cm, then make a nandroid backup of it, and then flash it on cwm on her mobile.

Since i'm using android more than a year, i know a little bit of modding. So i've already themed my device to suit her with some modifications such as transparent status bar, center clock, a special theme on uotkitchen, themed adw launcher with custom icons and all that..... now i just need the following answers from senior members here to complete my pseudo-rom experience of gifting her. :)

1) In About phone section in settings, how to change the name of Mod version and Kernel version? I mean, it shows Cyanogenmod-7.2.0. xxxxx things, and i want to change it by her name ( ;) ), like we see in custom roms by various devs. So in which system files i need to do the editing for that?

2) How to change the Android version? Of course, i mean, android version of cm7 will be 2.3.7 , but, since she doesn't even understand what froyo/gb/ics is, i want to change it to her birth date ( :D ) to make her happy. So, is it possible ? And how ?

I hope other guys might also like this idea ! .... Your help will be very much welcomed. Thanks in advance.. :)

a basic one, but what is the point of minecraft?

i was persuaded by a click advert to try it and all i could seem to do was to get rid of rocks (squares), tunnel down, add ladders and lights and then that was it!

Hi All,

I was wondering if you could help me answer a question; when trying to unlock my bootloader with htcdev my htc desire s is not listed. Would it come under the original desire or all other supported models? Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
I believe its under other supported models, but I have had no luck getting a code today as when I put in my device string it just says site undergoing maintenance, so I can't go any further.

How do I sim unlock? And what is the point of installing a new rom?
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
This happens with quite a few apps. Fairly new, maybe since I went to the 1.23 HBOOT. Happens in ICS (VQ) and in my current IC gingerbread 2.3.5 sense 3.5. Rom doesn't seem to matter.

[HTC Sensation] Galaxa12:
I seen a thread about this.. let me look it up.. I believe it has to do with the transition of the ics.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Did you change the screen's density (DPI) to make everything bigger or smaller?

That'll cause this every time.

If you did, the solution is to switch back to stock DPI (240), reboot, and wait about 10 minutes. (I don't know why you have to wait 10 minutes. But you do.)

Then google will give you teh download just fine.

If your problem isn't DPI related...then I dunno
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
I have indeed, in my 2.3.5/sense 3.5 (Insert Coin) Rom. I had/did not with ICS (VQ)... hrmmmm. *scratching head*

Hello fellow andorid user :) you should download rom manager to your device and see if there are any roms for your device. ps what device do you have i would be more than happy to help you find a nice rom and kernal for your phone if there are any good ones for it let me know.

ps you should be able to find roms for your phone right here on xda as well and or goole it

if it helps please hit thanks or buy me a pepsi :D
[General Questions and Answers] noahgb:
Use Rom Manager or Rom Crawler. I use both just because one doesn't have what the other has.

And if you don't want to download it from there. Try finding a mirror. I'm positive someone has it.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmenchion:
Hi all, i have as the title says a Telus dhd. Recently they released update 2.3.5 so i decided to try it. The issue I'm having is the phone when set to auto will not detect my timezone. It is -3:30 Newfoundland time. If i check the auto box 3 times it will find it but as soon as i shut off the screen and wake it again it reverts back to-4:00 Atlantic time.

If i set it manually, the weather widget still well detect Atlantic time. I called Telus to let them know about my issue.

Anyone else having same issue?

I tried ARHD 6.3.1 and had the same issue, I'm thinking it is something to do with the 2.3.5 ROM.

I may try another custom ROM based on 2.3.3 and see what happens.

thanks in advance!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earthbrother:
I think it's a bug from the 2.3.5 personaly, I use a Telus dhd too and had the same issue (well giving me -4:00 at the place or -5:00 east). I decided to change to Rom 4.0.3 VA (rather nice) and didn't had the problem.

It could be how they setted the Timezone in the version that made this problem in fact. They might made a mistake in the zone settings.

Sorry for my english :p
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmenchion:
I'm thinking the same thing about the update.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmenchion:

Just follow the instructions "ad literam".

A really one-click-tool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
So I have found a new launcher that has great potential. Kind of reminds me of Wisbar Desktop from my WM days as you can put items anywhere on the screen and they are not locked into a grid like every other launcher. Besides swiping your pages side to side, you can also scroll down on each page like WP7.

Has lots customizations and the developer is extremely responses. Received a email back from him within 15 minutes after contacting him. Still has some bugs and he is aware of them and is constantly working on it.

I am running my screen at 720p and I totally recommend that as you can get lots on your screen!

It is free as well!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LudoGris:
I have been using this for a few days now and have to agree...coolest launcher I have used so far. This is as cool and "revolutionary" as when ADW and Launcher Pro came out for the first time.

I would need an explanation of why it needs permissions to make phone calls without my intervention before I can install it. I might be paranoid here, but that whole "without my intervention" bugs me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
I'll try this out but how do you get the magazine look for the page turn
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chasoo:
Its smooth but I don't like how icons are not applied on a grid. Everything is free-standing and I can't get anything to align. Its really bothering me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrDowntown12:
because its a launcher/app. If you were to set a contacts icon on the screen for direct dial or something like that, you would not be able to make a call because you didn't want that permission.

I'm pretty sure every launcher needs that permission.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darthstewie:
I can't believe I didn't think of that. I don't add contact shortcuts, but it does make sense. I think I'll go download it now.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSkylla:
I think it's really nice but it crashes WAY too much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Running CM7.

Haven't had a single crash yet.

I'm a complete ADWEX honk, always have been, but I must say that I really, really, like this launcher. The page-turning anims are simple but sick, IMHO, and it's such a lightweight launcher in general, I think I'm gonna keep this one for a while....

Very nice.

["hip", "hip"]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
The developer is aware of the issues and is currently working on fixing them. I run into problems editing pages after I add a lot of items on the homepage.

Totally agree this can be the best launcher to date with as little more work.

If you haven't tried yet, drag items to the bottom of the screen as fat as can go and you will see you can then scroll the page down. There are probably so many cool things to do in the launcher. If anyone figures some tricks out, post it up!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
has anyone figured out how to get a calendar widget to work?

Android agenda widget or any other full screen calendar widget doesn't want to work

so far, that's the only issue I have..really cool stuff!

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Simple Calendar widget works fine. Just do not choose the scroll option in the widget. Any widget that scrolls will not work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
thanks man, it was the "scrolling" option that was messing me up...

EDIT:

I have to say, once a couple small things work out, like sculling widgets, this launcher is going to be super hot...

Never saw anything so customizable as this launcher is..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
double post....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
I was on the fence about this one but with that comment I'm surely going to try it now. Thanks mazook and thanks eman for bringing it up :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Another cool trick I just noticed for lining up apps and widgets on the screen...

Hold down whatever you want to move. Then let your finger off of it to bring up the little menu that says edit, etc. Then either click the back button or touch somewhere else on the screen and it will leave your item highlighted. In cse you didn't know, at this point you can re-size your widget but if you move the whole widget around you will see red lines show up when it is lined up with other items near it making it simple to know where you are placing it.

It is kind of hard to explain but try and and you will understand what I am talking about....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Its pretty cool and has A LOT of potential.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] →blackbird→:
pretty cool but could've been better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Update today, now supports scrollable widgets!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
Yea this launcher looks really cool but I havent been able to get any customization to stick every time I edit something it never changes, so gonna have to stick to the sony home
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Haven't ran into this issue yet. Can you give an example?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
you have to hit "apply changes" at the bottom of the screen after you change anything....

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

yeah, I asked him for that yesterday, and he said it would be today, and it sure was!

I hope he does a "backup and restore settings" fix, so I can save my setup to use when I try other roms..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Just backup in Titanium and you should be good.

Even with the little bugs, this has already become the launcher to beat. What more can you ask for if the launcher gives you the freedom to add anything anywhere on the screen in a really nice looking package as well. And also the ability to scroll the pages down like WM7 it is totally amazing.

Man, I love Android more and more each day!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
unfortunately, since updating, I am getting constant FC's on the launcher..

bummer, I was really liking this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
No closes here. Maybe clear data and try again. I am running it on UnNamed ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
well, if I clear data, I will lose all the customizations I did, which took a long time yesterday..

I went back to yesterdays version without the scrollable widgets, and its working fine again..I emailed him about the issue, so lets see if he comes up with anything

I am running it on Xplod Rom..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h4304:
Force close after update here also. This launcher has potential. I look forward to different animations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
???

"Pretty good, but could have been better."...........

I'd bet it's posts like this that make app developers want to scratch their own eyeballs out, lol.

Really?

Better "how?" might be of SOME help....That is, some more help than just saying THAT for no reason.

(Smh)

I was thinking the same thing, Zook, but didn't want to even acknowledge a stupid post like that...:cool::cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Thanks.

You're completely correct.

(And, in the future, I'll try to show more restraint with things like that.)

Sometimes, I can't even figure out why some people are even wired the way they are....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
i call it a ''short to ground'' lol :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Yeah, it could definitely be better. The Dev could throw in a free Android phone of choice for everyone that downloads his launcher or he can even offer a free 7 night vacation for free of course.

Anyway, I have ran the updated version all day today on UnNamed Rom and it did not forceclose once. Was also really good on battery as well. I have 2 hours on screen time after almost 12 hours unplugged and I have 58% battery left.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I'm getting lots of fc's on the update from today...

I am sure it has to do with using scrolling widgets, because rolling back to the older build, there are no FC's; I reported it to the dev, so hope an update cures it..

Swirched res to 160 as suggested, and this launcher is just the ****z...

Hope my eyes can get used to the smaller text in some of the menus and stuff
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
weird but at first wasn't diggin but now that im learning it, super fun and customizable running it on Team-Noc Bravia no fc at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] King_tee:
This has some potential to be a great alternative.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:

how to make folders on the homescreen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LudoGris:
Not available yet, but I am sure the DEV is working on it. Seems to be adding every popular launcher addition to this one, plus has the unique user interface.

If this adds ALL of the other abilities, plus their own...there will be no reason for this to not be the #1 launcher out there. So mad that I didn't think of it first!!!(or have the know how to make it :))
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SayWhat10:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
weird thing about this launcher..

since installing it, along with the latest blend rom, and the Gunslinger kernel, any clock widget I use does not update; the clock in my task bar is normal, but, no widget that has a clock will update..

Anyone else notice this, or is the kernel/Rom?

thanks
