Im not a developer, only here to point out couple of things:

1. speed dial is replaced with 'favorites' and shortcuts to direct dial? I'm running a rooted 1.6 on HTC Mytouch 3g and there is still no sign of built in speed dial in sight :(

2. My bluetooth headset BlueAnt has built in voice commands for speed dial "dial speeddial 1" dials voicemail no problem, appears to be hardcoded by HTC.. but saying a command 'speeddial 3' for example would dial the 3rd entry from the call log - hence goodbye the ability to dial a saved preset # without having to reach for the phone, unlocking the screen, changing the other desktop with speeddial shortcuts etc... so much for effiency :(

Funny thing that feature works on any other phone with built in bluetooth: nokias, blackberries etc... Hope you guys don't let Google skip adding traditional phone features:

* hope somebody adds a setting to the dialer so users can choose the dialer to popup instead of the call log when pressing a 'call' button.

Simple things make the life enjoyable :)
[Android Software Development] Brainze:
As this is a touch-screen phone... you must remember that all features that once used hard-buttons are being phased out by: voice dial, direct dial shortcuts, contact photo shortcuts, etc. You'll find that the quick-search is a one-stop access to most anything with your voice.

Why the Blue-Ant headset wouldn't access these the same way as any other bluetooth headset is beyond me.

I'm trying to do a few things to my phone (create gold card, free it from ROM lock in, throw on a new recovery image, and flash to a new ROM) but I noticed most of the guides are for windows... Is there a way to do any or all of these things on a Mac? The guide I was looking at is here:

Hello,

I know that it's possible to add applications to whitelist for built-in screen rotation function in HTC Leo.

But this is very inconvenient. You need determine Class of application and then add it to registry...

Could anyone write a simple application, which could be mapped to hardware button. For example, when I use long button press - it automatically determines open (active) application window class and adds it to HTC Leo rotation whitelist. Second long press will remove this application from whitelist.

It will be very useful and convenient and no need to use external applications like Gyrator, because using built-in HTC abilities - is much better.

I'm sure this thing will be very popular and needed application.

Is anyone from developers interested in coding this idea ?

just rooted my sprint hero and now wonder if i can still update when they come out with the android 2.0 for my phone. i didnt flash to a new rom or anything just rooted the device. any one know thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xsirhc6x:
anyone feel free to correct me but i don't see why not...

but if you use the update from them you might loose root:)

and you might not be able to get root back if they fixed how ever we were able to root originally... ( but it prob wont be long untill someone finds a new way)

Hey everbody,

i'm updating rom's on my touch pro, and i'm really surprised by the new sense 2.5 it's true that i choose it for the new hometab and the beauty mix of clock&wheater, but that sucks really, new htc messaging don't work, take more than 5sec to syncronise with inbox in sms& mails. most of the apps freeze, nothing is stable, so i'll come back to the tael rom without the "new" rom of sense 2.5!! i think that sense should me more stable and more faster. that's the worst rom i've seen and i ve tested the energy and tael rom.

am I alone to find that sense 2.5 sucks?

good night
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Broman400:
Wrong topic and who cares of your opinion, don't gotta be negative. Don't like it don't use it. In my opinion I love it even though there's no landscape. It's sexy and looks nice and nothing freezes for me, freezing of apps is because of Windows Mobile not Manila 2.5
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] XERO_Racer:
i think before u start complaining is to try other ROMs that run 2.5 AFIAK even though u tried an EnergyROM try the LATEST EnergyROM it has a very stable and fast Sense 2.5 built in IMHO

and for your issues with SMS messaging recommend to search for Zenyee's disable htc messaging app

and it seems ur stability issues can lead to a bad flash OR you installed something to slow down ur phone, reflash and run the ROM without installing any apps, install ONE app at a time and check to see which one leads to ur crashes

install NeoS2007 graphics drivers, search for it and ull notice a significant difference in stability and smoothness

and if you honestly think that those are the worst ROMs why dont you go ahead and try to make your own??
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] theknub:
the community is here for development and the love of designing things. if you don't like something, don't use it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] licht77:
How can I see if i got HTC-Sense 2.5 or TF3d1 / 2 ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
There is a landscape fix Here
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Exactly very good point !

You should try develooping and programming yourself before criticizing others' hardwork.

and XERO i think you should try this graphics fix works better than neo

here

Exactly I agree.

If you have a clock + weather on the home page and if you have a twitter tab in ur slider then its SENSE2.5=manila2.5=TF3D 2.5.

If you have just the clock on the main page then it is TF3D2.1=Manila2.1

I Request MODs to close this thread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] azik:
i don't think that there is something wrong with this thread. I didn't like the new Sense either, not because the chef did a bad job but because i simply didn't like it.

i think the worst part about sense is that there is no Programs tab anymore and you can only put 6 shortcuts to the Home screen. The concept itself is good but 6 shortcuts is not enough...at least for me. i also had some performance issues when it wasn't perfectly smooth on Touch Pro. Pry because it wasn't designed for it.

other than that i liked it, and i wanna say thanks to all chefs here for doing this tremendous job!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
But then one should not open a thread and start speaking against a development if you don't like it don't use it.

Others like it they use it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] buzzmanfly:

HTC sense was developed for the more advanced next gen phones.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hobojester:
Azik. Google up Max Ultimate... allows up to 20 shortcuts. Personally, it's the only way I was able to use 2.5.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] venkss:
I think the original poster was just stating his opinion that he didn't like Sense 2.5. But you guys are acting like Apple Fanboys going ballistic and coming out so rude...

I don't like it sense 2.5 either...

As much as this forum is to praise people's work, we can't be doing ONLY that all the time. sometimes the work sucks and needs to be said that way.

I don't think its chef's fault or anything and I appreciate the time each chef puts in. But these days the forum is full of latest cutting edge software THAT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK WELL with tweaking, fixing bugs, do this and do that,etc...

I have gone back to older stable ROMs. I have the luxury of trying out these things because of the hard and good work of the chefs, the forum and the user community. Thank you all.

Have a nice day, everyone.

It rocks! Maybe not for u but it is great for me ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lyu370:
Anyone know if this graphics fix speeds up Sense and SMS? Tried NRG's ROM with Sense, loved it, but a little too slow on my FUZE. Switched back to NRG's Touch Flo 2.1 ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Spud1:
You guys who are complaining about 2.5 do realise that its not actually intended to work on the Touch Pro don't you? The version that we are luckily able to run has been ported over from different phones (leo iirc?) which has more power available to it, and a different resolution, amongst many other differences.

So we are not able to run an official HTC final-polished-ready-to-go version of it, and we NEVER will..we get a hacked together port put together by some very talented people on these boards.

So you can justifyably say that current implementations of it has bugs, is unstable, has missing/overlapping icons/graphics or speed issues..but these are not HTC Sense issues.

Personally I really like it but don't run it day to day because of a few issues with the new messenging client when you have more than a few text messages (takes forever to load!), BUT I like sense itself..the questions of if its stable or not, and if its a good bit of software are completely different, and its not fair on HTC or the guys on this board to mix them up..

Just my 2c..

Sense doesn't suck. It's your phone. It wasn't designed to run on it for a reason...

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] azik:
Aren't discussion boards for discussing stuff? what is the point of having a forum for if people do not post their opinions and views on things?

Nobody is speaking against bad development. The topic is about HTC Sense nothing more nothing less.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] accent2k2:
Discussion

I second this. Also to the first poster, you can try a hard reset or re flash a new rom. I have had some issues with 2.5 myself and lately the new 2.5 roms seem much faster and stable. The chefs put a lot of work into making a rom, so I can see why they get upset,but on the same note its nice to vent about things when something is not working. When I had problems with 2.5 I decided to stick with 2.1 until recently , and now I really like 2.5. I am going to flash a 2.1 probably later today and see which I like best, but I am willing to bet its the 2.5 roms. 2.5+MaxManila=Bliss
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Yes it speeds up the whole Manile working all together the the GFx Boost or NEO GFx.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] miffymiffy:
Then it should be posted in the correct forum, this is for ROM development...

It should have been in the general forum.

Sense works ok for me. Just needs some tweaks done so the SMS works apart from that I like it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] c01642:
I have been using Tael roms for a while now and flashed the sense rom a few weeks back. The rom is excellent as always but i find sense a bit of a pain and it seemed a bit buggy so i turned it off and started using the Windows Mobile interface and to my surprise i like it more than 2.5 and 2.1. The only bad part is the calendar is not as good.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] redtiger:
GUYS !!

Hello guys, you're so excited fcuk ...

Thanks to people that understand my point of view,

first, i was just speaking about htc sense, not developers ...

second, itwas just to take you're view about htc sense. I don't speak bad about tael, and energy's rom or chefs !!! !!!!

I'm in luv with tael v3.28002 STANDARD ED. ! and i'm thinking everyday that i'm using my pda, that without website like xda-dev, windows mob and htc will loose many of us. i give all my regards to xda-dev but that's not the problem.

I'm using htc for some years, i used touch, cruise, diamond, touch pro and i had some xperience to say what's sucks or not, i'm not an expert to edit some rom's but i think that most of us can't understand what dev are doing for us so.

Sorry if i chocked most of u by telling, that htc sense sucks on touch pro, but that what i'm thinking, until now it's not enough stable FOR ME ! and as u says, if u don't like don't use it.... , so if u don't like my sentence don't read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<thanks to all of you for your tips to fix, sms group and some freeze fix, hard reset and gfx, i'll test it soon

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |Jason8|:
2.5 is terrible. But that doesn't mean that it will always be terrible. I keep flashing to roms with it hoping it's at a point that it doesn't compromise the functionality or performance of my phone, and it hasn't gotten there yet. But there are some amazing developers working on porting it over better, so I wouldn't be surprised if it does bridge that gap eventually. Until then, just use 2.1. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] brandonmangan:
Granted this was the last place I expected to find any answers, I've been searching for quite awhile on how to disable the htc messaging, and here it is. Thanks Xero. Aside from the messaging quirks I find sense to be beautiful and sleek, sure it slows the phone down, but it's still quicker than my kaiser at it's finest moment. All i can do is commend, praise, and give mad props to these chefs. Take any amount of time looking into how much work cooking takes and it's all you need to have major respect for these guys.
[General Questions and Answers] simurg:
I hope this is not off-topic for this forum. SPB Mobile 3.5 is significantly slower than 3.0 while starting AppLauncher or returning back to the main UI. I even created a very clean 6.5 ROM with no HTC stuff and stll the menu changes were sluggish.

I don't understand why there is a slow down given that 3.0 was giving perfect experience. Could it be the new widgets or did SPB make a change to conserve memory for speed?

I like SPB Mobile design and don't like the design of TouchFlo which forces you to have all the apps runnning. TouchFlo should be a resource hog and I think it is but it is more responsive. The new Android phones has the new Sense UI which in my opinion is the copy of SPB Mobile but they work amazingly. The UI is completely responsive; no sluggishness, no waits.

Does anyone know a solution? It seems like the customizations like MSkip ProPlus makes the perf problem worse.

I wish there is an alternative to SPB Mobile with similar widget based design

in WM world.

[Touch HD General] smb5823:
Is it possible to use WEP wifi security on the Touch HD.

Up till now I have used WPA or WPA2 which works OK but having just added a network extender in repeating mode I find that for repeating/extending the network coverage the only security option supported by my network configuration is WEP (64 or 128 bit). IE neither WPA or WPA2 can be used.

When setting up access via the Touch HD only "None; WPA; WPA2" security options are available. No WEP option.

My old TytnII had "None; WEP; WPA; WPA2" options and would have worked fine, but the Touch HD ROM's don't seem to support WEP.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] accountabc:
I think the HD does support WEP, I can't imagine a relatively new device like the HD not supporting WEP security.

What rom are you using?
[Touch HD General] CEPi:
It connects to my home wifi which has WEP with no probs.
[Touch HD General] atco22:
I am having the same problem. My home network that uses 64-bit WEP works fine. I key in a 10-digit code for WEP at home. At work, the router uses a 128-bit WEP, which requires me to enter a 26-character key. It shows connected but I cannot surf, cannot update weather, cannot check mail, cannot anything to do with internet.

Anyone can help me with this?

This have been happening to me since I was using a stock ROM, and now on a cooked ROM, still no joy.

[Click General] MiSSigNNo:
Probably until mids february, that htc releases an android 2.1 device and can port the rom for their other devices more "easily". still there is not much tattoo development yet in the community and cyanogen is centered in the first g1 phones.

At the Press Conference at MWC, HTC confirmed updates for "older" Devices but only mentioned the Hero and no other Device...

[Click General] moggyx:
Yeh,

I'm a bit bummed about it. You see the twitter feed for HTC mentioning the Eris, Hero, etc all getting updates..... just not our Tattoo though, which really sucks considering it has the same processor as the Hero. Maybe it is just the resistive screen that is the reason they are not doing it?

There's a very good tuning calculator out for Forza 3 that's been written as a flash file. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to make this into an app?

From reading on Forza forums others have requested the same thing since it's currently an app for the iphone. I have a feeling it would be pretty popular.

We're all nerds! This would be kind of cool. I just bought Forza 3 and playing it little by little. Still trying to figure out everything I can do.
[G1 Apps and Games] SwornPacifist:
This might be something I'd be able to develop, I've been playing with the Android SDK and looking for an idea for an application that would be useful but not too difficult for a first real project.

I'm not totally sure how Feuerdog feels about derivative works, it looks like he's ok with them, but I'll probably PM him first to ask, just in case.

No promises, but I'll look into it.
[G1 Apps and Games] CapitalM3:
Sounds good! I remember reading a thread where someone asked him about an app for the droid, he didn't have the desire to do it himself but was receptive to the idea of someone else doing it. I looked and looked but couldn't find the thread again.
[G1 Apps and Games] SwornPacifist:
I've talked with Feuerdog, and he's completely open with the use of his calculations for any type of implementation, so I have the green light from him.

I'll play around with prototyping some of the UI and calculations, see what I can come up with. I'll probably work on getting the math working first, then making it pretty second, since an ugly functional app still does something useful!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimphishmonger:
Hey everyone,

Just interested to see what everyone is using for their swap settings.

Compcache, Compcache w/ backing, or linux swap?

Swappiness?

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
It depends for me. I don't use the regular scripts people use, instead, I load it all from a file at boot. I pretty much use slightly-modified solid stock builds with a few unnecessary things removed (updater apps or htc log apps for example) and a few performance options tossed in (kernel changed, cpu pegged at 528 mHz, and compcache).

If I'm running a rom made for the Dream, for example, an AOSP rom, or an ADP or T-Mobile G1 rom, I use 24 MB compcache with 60 swappiness.

If I'm running a Hero rom or any other demanding port that was not made for the Dream, I usually make up for the lack of memory by compressing it all, so I use 96+ MB compcache, and I have it swap pages like crazy to keep compache from storing stale pages, so I set swappiness to 100. It has a slight hit in performance, but it's very, very reliable and, for example on Hero ports, I get no loading screens even with all 7 screens full of widgets and shortcuts coming back from Browser on pages with flash while listening to music.

I don't use linux-swap at all. I like being able to remove my sdcard and using it as it was intended, I don't use a2sd for the same reason.

Thanks for the response. I am using several differnt build, all AOSP thoigh. Ive been experimenting for a while now, Ill give the 24mb compcache 60 swappiness a shot
