[HTC Sensation] BenTrein:
The title says most...

I like the standard HTC lock-screen on my Sensation XE. However, when the screen is locked (but not blacked out) it is possible to drag down the Information window. I see the point of this (quicker access of apps), however, I want to disable this as I carry my phone in my pocket, and it happens all the time.

Before I can use my phone I need to press back a couple of times, and my thigh has even managed to accidentally change ringtones and alarm sounds...

In short: How can I make sure that really only the ring moves on a locked screen?
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
It's one of ICS's new features. You could change to a pattern/PIN/password unlock to stop it, as I don't think it's something that can be disabled.
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
Set a screen lock password/pattern/PIN. You'll stop the sliding down notification and you have additional security on your phone! Although I think if you set your screen lock pattern/password/PIN to be activated only after a certain number of minutes, the notification slide down will still work during that period of time.

which device is close in specs to make a stable ice cream sandwhich rom for this and is there any devs that wanna help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blakjak220:
On CM9 03312012 version..

I tried searching and couldn't find anything

Every time I play flash video it's choppy.. youtube and other videos work fine but flash is consistently laggy

I've updated to the newest 11.1 version, on the kernel that came with the ROM

Any ideas?

If you need any more info to help just let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blakjak220:
Come on, surely someone has had this and knows a fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmarte17:
i have been looking for the answer too why flash videos are choppy, i did some Rom Swaps and got different results for each.

these are my results:

AOSP ROM= great video playback/but controls (pause-play-full screen,etc)tends to freezeand crash when overusing them

AOPK ROM=great playback,bueatiful and silky smooth. did not incountered any problems

TOUCHWIZ ROM= SUCKS! horrible playback! choppy video plus unstable controls, crashes browser ..

hoped this helped
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
What are most people using and does it matter that much?? What are the differences?? Cwm or twrp? I'm on twrp because I used qbkings root method and that's what his tutorial had used. I've also seen people say they r using cwm, if I wanted to use that instead, is it OK to use rom manager to flash the recovery? And is rom manager fully functional for the gnexus? I'm sure I could probably test most of this and figure it out with my backup if something goes wrong but sure would b a lot nicer I didn't have to do all that, and maybe this will help someone else too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stesmo:
i use cwm touch on my gnex, have not tried twrp. i flashed it using fastboot. you can also just try/use it (or other recoveries) without flashing using "fastboot boot [image]". if you flash it be sure to rename/delete recovery-from-boot.p in system as it will otherwise overwrite your custom recovery again once you reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
Where can I find fastboot image for cwm or would it just b easier to rom manager?

Do u know of any differences in the 2, when u say "other recoveries" what else is available for the gnexus??? I've only seen the 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stesmo:
images can be found here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

i have not tried the rom manager, i guess its a little bit easier if you dont want to use the command line.

since i have not tried twrp i cannot say exactly what the differences are. but i would guess both can do about the same things as the job for a recovery is quite well defined.

at least 4 for gnex : stock, cwm, cmw touch and twrp. don't really know if there are others...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Well, in my experience TWRP offers many benefits over CWR e.g. being able to be themed, having scripts, 'flashier' GUI, built-in file explorer but in the end I still swapped back to Touch CWR as it's simple, and it has everything that a recovery should do (flash, wipe, mount etc.). TWRP also has a few small bugs here and there but it's great if you want more options and features. Also that animation of booting into recovery bugs the hell out of me, along with the 'Swipe to continue' thing and touch response isn't that good in file lists (like when you have to choose what you want to flash).

It's all up to personal preference so that easiest way is to just flash both and try it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
Twrp is awesome much quicker than cwm my only complaint right now is I can't find any themes for twrp 2.1.2

Seperate partitions. But we can flash splash.nb0 from recovery with proper scripting in zip file. I can confirm this works thanks to con247.

is it a themed hboot? correct me if im wrong but i thought it wasn't a good idea to flash hboot's often?
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
real men flash daily. if i haven't flashed mine twice before breakfast i feel like i've wasted the day.
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
real men don't want to waste $$ and brick their rezound either. ;)

I want that pic as my splash screen lol

Its now my wallpaper lol
[HTC Rezound] con247:
This won't be for everyone but it will help some people out. A tiny bit more testing might be needed tonight and then it should be ready to go.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lol remember when everyone bashed joel for posting threads about roms he had coming up because he wasn't posting information on them, only saying it was a secret and would come out soon? surprised it hasn't happened here yet...then again, the Inc forums were full of much bigger douchebags than the Rez forums
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Enjoy! :) Flash this in recovery, must have s-off.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
Yes!!! Its so awesome! Thanks!!
[HTC Rezound] mikemullin6:
Need s-off to flash stealth?

For those who already have s-off, will they be able to flash this when it's available?
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
DOOD! I so remember that whole deal. I never understood why it was such an issue and I agree about the d-bags in the Inc forums, although we do have some contenders here in this forum as well. :mad:
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
Soff is required to flash the hboot because its a hboot and not a ruu
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
And this project isn't going to be dragged out the concept and functionality is there, we arr using a fine tooth comb through it to perfect it, there won't be bugs and update patches etc. And I want to male sure no 4g issues etc. It's coming along in next day or so
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Ummm

Now that its out, can someone please say what it does, either here or in the OP?

EDIT: Oh - I see that link was only for wallpaper.
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
Patience my young padooine
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
correct,its not. dont flash them if you dont have good reason. if you have reason,use caution,doublecheck md5 sums and youll be fine :)

so if im unsderstanding correctly,this is a patched hboot,presumably with some eng commands,edited to look visually like a stock locked and s-on hboot in case trickery is needed for a trip to the vzw store.

clever :)

i assume youll have a 2.11 and a 2.21(eventually)?

i can test or help out if youd like :)
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Hopefully it can get rid of my relocked message on mine...I make one mistake and I am branded unless I s on lol

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yessir. Flashable via PH98IMG too so that people who have broken USB ports can return their phones. (They obviously can't turn S-ON w/o fastboot)
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
sorry...i shoulda tested and got the word out sooner :( i really thot once the secure flag was off we were done with locked/relocked :mad:

neat :cool: let me know if you need anything or would like me to take a test flash.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
well, if juopunutbear's hboot says juopunutbear instead of locked or unlocked, in theory any hboot can say anything, as long as you know what you're doing...

I wonder if a script can be written to make that change similar to how one was made to change the mainver error..
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
i love every noun and verb in that sentence.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
I wasn't even thinking when I did it....I ruued from ics firmware back to gingerbread, was couldn't get the commands to work....forgot I could have just flashed it...and from there I was hosed...not that it really matters, oh well such is life for early adopters.

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
I wouldnt test these guys until I do. We are doing small edits at a time, but I have a device for bricking. We don't want you guys to test and brick and if that file got in the wild.....disaster.

I'm predicting tomorrow night pending final tests it will be ready. We will have multiple hboots available.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
same exact thing happened to me LOL.. Just automatically typed in fastboot oem lock.. ran the RUU .. then unlocked again without thinking about it .

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Nice, I have never hex edited, but after reading about this project. I thought hmm let me see what it looks like so I downloaded a hex editor and dropped the patched hboot into it .. I promptly closed it and said no way in heck lol.. So I give you guys alot of credit that understand this stuff and can create such cool themes and roms.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
thats basically what this stealth hboot is doing-its been edited to say locked

what ive found is that there is a flag somewhere that tells hboot what to say. we need to figure out where that is,and if its accessible,and then it would be easy to change it to the locked designation. cant make scripts to change it until we figure that part out. obviously its possible somehow,as juopunut bear does it during the s-off process.

maybe if there is enuff demand,they could be pursuaded to make a "restore locked" tool :)

there needs to be a pretty big warning attached to this. while i do think its a clever means to decieve vzw employees,and prolly even techs at vzw/htc(to a point anyway ;)) folks need to remember that this is NOT a stock,signed,hboot. it can be used to make things visually appear stock,but a "fastboot getvar all" will quickly reveal its secrets. sending an RUUed,factory reset phone in with this "stealth hboot" for a warranty does not gaurante your claim will be taken care of like a properly restored and s-on-ed device. while i agree the checks are not strict,and its unlikely,its possible that vzw or htc could figure out that youve unlocked,and somehow s-offed your device,and end up with the full retail price on your bill.

the biggest potential isue,is if a user thinks hes on a stock hboot,and attempts to reset the secureflag back to on,he will have an immediate,unrecoverable brick in his hands :eek:

so have some fun with this,but be

extremely careful

. id reccomend not running it full time,its easy to get in a hurry and forget ;)
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
That's exactly what I was thinking! :D
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I could see an issue if it was posted in the Dev section but since it's here, who cares.
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
That's why its here. Till its ready, its not for everyone but it has its purpose. Besides hexing hboot as risky as it gets and we try to see how far we can go. This project is a by product of seeing what we can n can't do. This phone taking a brick for the team lol

Also extending this out to devs to guinea pig on has been awesome getting to know them.
[HTC Rezound] mikemullin6:
Coming soon?

Any progress this weekend? We're all eagerly awaiting this new option.
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
Should be tonight. Con had a long day so we didn't test things, so teat this evening, later tonight release.
[HTC Rezound] mikemullin6:
Con long day

I spent 4.5 years at UM so I can imagine what Con's "long day" involved for a Saturday in Ann Arbor. Hope he recovers soon <g>

[HTC Rezound] con247:
We are working on it now. We have slightly changed the direction of this to be more useful. Basically at this point we are making a PH98IMG.zip that you can run that will take the device from whatever you have installed to what "appears" to be S-ON, LOCKED, and the current GB RUU for return to verizon. However, the phone will actually be S-OFF, could be locked, relocked, unlocked, doesn't matter it will show locked. It will also refuse OTA updates so this won't get overwritten when it gets sent back.

We may also release ICS & GB hboots separately, but lets be honest it is unlikely you will run this day to day.
[HTC Rezound] live2die:
can you guys make it customrizible just for fan? because i am in china, and i will never return the phone to VZW.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I could possibly make one, but it would be at your own risk. The testing phone was intentionally bricked for return to Verizon. So you would be the first to flash it and there would be a very high chance of bricking.

Progress report: hboot complete and tested. Stock modded system image needs a bit of work. Hopefully this will be done in the next 48 hours. Unfortunately some things took longer than expected and I couldn't work on this Friday or Saturday night.
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
Well guys we got our release canidate approved, then we we tried a test and fried it. i have made a video of her death ill send to con247. this wasnt a stealth hboot but just a curiousity he wanted to try. RIP Rezzie

[HTC Rezound] :
Is this still going to be released? Will it be safe, lol ?
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
We have it safe. We elected not to do ics hboot .....why because no ics hboot exists officially and even of we stealthed it to look like gb and had ics running...dead give away. I'm running our release candidate daily no issues fully stealthed. But I'm not going official on this and posting till con247 is ready out of respect for him, I brainstormed it, he did the missing, I did the testing. Would not have it if it wasn't for him, so with that said ill leave him in charge of that. But if you want it I will send personally. However this is not to be posted on forums till con247 says so, and of course you flash at your own risk
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
the more i think about this,i feel its a bad idea.

i do like the notion of using it during a visit to a vzw store,but beyond that,i think its not morally a good idea to send it in to vzw,especially if its going to defer OTA updates.

1)in the unlikely event the secureflag is turned on automatically or intentionally vzw,the user,or htc will have an instant brick on their hands. again,not likely,but possible.

2)is the more likely scenario: vzw has admitted they dont do many checks on returned devices. its extremely likely one of these will get sent right back out,and more than likely to a person that wont root it,will never figure out its not stock,and will have a lot of fustration when their device wont OTA. it will end up right back at vzw where this may happen over and over.

con,if you intend to release this,please consider removing the block OTA feature,and put up a stern disclaimer that its to be used for inhouse vzw visits

only

,it is not intended to help you with fradulant claims.

if you eff up your devices,man up and pay the insurance deductible. i firmly believe it is not acceptable to send a device back in for warranty thats been altered with a fake hboot in attempt to fraud vzw.

if you wANT yuor device locked for vZw warranty,s-on,then re-soff. send it in legitmate stock.

my 2 cents.
[HTC Rezound] :
for some weird reason I agree with Scotty. Most of us experienced users would use the stealth hboot properly without abuse if we needed to. But I can see how this can become an fraud epidemic quickly.

HTC Rezound......Tapa2
[HTC Rezound] jmichaels1982:
not asking for eta

I know the rules, no eta, no progress questions.

I was confused after the last post though, is this project closed ?

I love customizing every pixel on my phone to my liking, thats the reason for my interest.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It isn't closed. I have had no time to do something else for this that I am reconsidering if it should be done. This is really gonna be used solely for warranty fraud which is kinda what it is meant for I guess but that really shouldn't be happening.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Well since there's the s on s off method of removing relock I wouldn't feel to guilty about it con. Just food for thought. ;)
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
No real difference from people getting S-on and committing fraud. One just takes longer lol.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Welp.

Con - I get your concern but please keep in mind this is the same argument made for tons of other items you use every day (or used to). The Xerox machine was going to put newspapers out of business. VCR's were going to put television networks out of business. DVD Burners are going to put hollywood out of business. Guns don't kill people; people kill people.

The point is, people will do what they will do; that should not stop you from developing a useful tool. Of course, that also puts aside that it is wrong of VZW to void a claim on broken hardware due to an unlocked status. At the most, you are evening the playing field.

My 2 cents.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I agree with this notion.
[HTC Rezound] jmichaels1982:
got it

Fair enough. Thanks for the response.

Good luck to you in all your projects.

I will subscribe to it then, since its not completely out the window. I thought the purpose was customizing something that no one was able to customize before, so I was super psyched, thats the only part of my phone that was boring.

I misunderstood.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
the biggest difference is that sending back a legitimately s-on,stock phone doesn not affect other users like a fake hboot potentially could.

again:

1)turning on secure flag with fake hboot=brick(i agree unlikely)

2)customer recieving fake hboot phone blocking OTAs as a replacement will send it right back when it doesnt recieve OTAs :eek: its really not fair to those customers. vzw has adnitted they dont do many checks on the phone,so i gaurantee this fake hboot will make it back out to the public. if vzw had a strict refurb policy that installed new firmware/software to every device it recieves back,maybe i would feel differently.

:confused: i dont know how that anaolgy fits at all. hes not developend and new "superhboot" thats different or superior. he has created a tool that can be used to intentionally fraud verizon and get out out of paying the deductuble for an insurance claim. its nothing like video killing the radio star ;)

except we dont have any documented cases of vzw refusing a claim because of being relocked. plus we have means of returning the phone to a legitimate,stock s-on,locked.

i personally would not release it,due to the potential that it can be used. but as i mentioned,it can be a clever,chuckle to yourself,kinda thing to use for a trip to the vzw store. if you wish to release it for this purpose,do so with the ability to block OTAs function removed,and with stern "this is only intended for this purpose" disclaimers.

the notion of repelling OTAs is in itself a valuable feature for some folks,i do think there would be a demand for such an hboot,just dont disguise it as stock. display your name,or the hboot name,or something, across the top so its easily identifiable as a third party,unsigned hboot.

my 2 cents :)
