Hey all,

I'm using Cyanogen's newest (4.2.6) and I'm curious if there's a way to turn off the cell antenna kind of like airplane mode. The problem I have with airplane mode is no wifi. The reason I'm curious is because I work in a place with no reception and it kills the battery as well as causes problems with texting on the Roger's network once I'm back within range.

I know you can do this in the hero roms, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any apps or options somewhere that might do the same in a non-hero rom.

I flashed a new ROM and my battery died; plugged the phone in and restarted it and the thing got reset like it was a fresh install (e.g.: wanted to go through the setup process, alignment, etc)

'Strange', I thought - so I just installed Shifu's ROM and just had the same thing happen last night.

Now here's the killer - I hit the reset button and now it's stuck in the Boot screen that displays the R / G / D values. It's -stuck- there. And has been for the last hour ...

How do I get past this/fix this, any ideas?

The intention of this topic is to list what we know about the up and coming Windows Mobile 7 compared to the current Windows Mobile 6.5.

Add your links here to any stories, fact, rumours or photos.....
[HD2 General] Archer:
Nice one witNer. I just hope this thread turns out to be all it should be.

One question I do have for now: when the hell is WM7 out? I've heard Q1 2010 right through to Q4 2010. Do we simply not know yet, and are just hearing guestimates and rumors?

[HD2 General] vangrieg:
It was Q1 for RTM/Official announcement, Q3-4 for actual devices sporting it.

There hasn't been an uber-official rock-solid announcement as of yet, nobody has promised anything, so it's all pretty much in the "rumors" category, even if these rumors come from official sources - things can change...

A fact is that it will be based on CE6, so a lot of things will be different from what we have now, including a new memory model, so some things will be gone, like the 32MB/32 process count limits (and many "out of memory" errors with them). Welcome 2GB address space world. It's also a fact that current leaking 6.5.x builds are not WM7 as many people suggest. These are CE5.

I'm not sure you're right about the motion gestures using the camera: gyro sensors being now part of the minimum requirements for Windows Phone 7
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Quite.

For something labeled as "Windows Mobile 7 - FULL DETAILS", it's surprising that there's nothing under the facts column, and in the rumours section one is outright wrong, the other more or less describes what we got in 6.5...

There's enough details, screenshots, videos, rumours, etc. out there that we have a pretty good idea what's coming. Those with inside sources know with reasonable certainty what the final product is like, features are firming up fast.

I have a Htc touch pro2 t-mobile USA.error 260 connection when i want to install Hard-spl.helpppp meeeeeeeee plzzzz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:
After using Lox's 2.0 AOSP I really liked the lockscreen and since it really fits well with sense style-wise, I almost assumed HTC would use the standard lock-screen or something like it anyway in the 2.1 Hero. Now, let's start by noting I have noooo experience in fiddling with this, so bear with me if some things seem obvious... :p

Now i assumed Htc modified the original lockscreen and it needed to be switched out all together. That wasn't the case. The google lockscreen seems integrated in the system, while Htc's is just an apk which overrides it or whatever. So all you need to do to get the original lockscreen is removing the HtcLockScreen.apk with ADB. Assuming you know how to work with adb it goes:

adb remount

adb shell rm system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

and... reboot.

Now... problem is, being inexperienced as I am I don't know if this 'breaks' stuff in the system. The problem I encountered were the following: you can't switch background, it will be transparent(like in the Hikari ROM), and I have no idea of how to fix this (if YOU do, please tell me I wanna know :)). If you try switching it by standard methods (in the settings menu, for instance) it'll just FC. Other than that it seems to work as it should. With emphasis on seems ;) oh, and i'm using behnaam's 2.1 ROM...

Ofcourse I'm not responsible if your Hero gets bricked... make a nandroid backup just in case... etcetera etcetera :rolleyes: and maybe I should add: its not as smooth as on AOSP. Its a bit laggy, but no more that HTC's I think..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maejrep:
Based on the source code, the wallpaper is actually disabled :o

// wall paper background
if (false) {
final BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) context.getWallpaper();
setBackgroundDrawable(
new FastBitmapDrawable(drawable.getBitmap()));
}

Note: if (false) <-- means it was intentionally turned off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
Stuck at the same with Villain 3 beta 4.

Still no way to fix that??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
No harm in removing the hero lock screen I have been doing it for a while now as I prefer the stock google one.

I would however prefer to have the straight lock screen (nexus one?) rather than the arched google one of old but this does not seem built into any build yet (except certain custom roms)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
Any lock screen will do, except HTC's one.

But i don't want transparent background. And i can't change it, it stays transparent, whatever i do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah I have not worked that one out yet, I just assumed it is not supposed to have a wallpaper.

Check the CDMA (sprint hero) forum here and the first sticky post has loads of really nicely designed mods for the hero, not sure if they work on the gsm hero but there are some lock screens there as well, check them out and then you can try to get them on your phone if you like them (or ask a dev to make them gsm compatible)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
Thanks for the idea. But they are too modded for my taste. I want simple vanilla lock screen with wallpaper. Nothing more :))

I hope @nprussel will notice this thread, and will do something.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Noticed.

I can sort this for you no problem. I didn't realise there were many out there removing the HTC Lockscreen from Vanillain. Personally, I remove it, but I quite like it transparent.

I'll sort it for you in the next build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
Yeah, sure many. Vanilla lock screen has much more useful info.

Thanks, looking forward to the new beta!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yeah same here, I remove it but I like it transparent.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
For those that can't/ don't want to use ADB you can use terminal emulator (availiable for free in the market) and do it direct from your handset.

(To get the keyboard up hold down the menu key)

(can't use the long press shortcuts for things like / have to do it the long way)

Now type this code exactly as it is here (pressing enter (return) for a new line)

______

su

# mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# rm system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

_______

Then reboot your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krzysiec:
So there is no possibility to change wallpaper (get rid of that transparency) in STANDARD ECLAIR LOCKSREEN ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dweebs0r:
I thought I would add in that if you want to try this out without deleting the .apk file just use the mv command.

./adb remount
./adb shell mv system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk system/app/HtcLockScreen.BACKUP
./adb reboot

then if you want to go back to original just mv it back:

./adb remount
./adb shell mv system/app/HtcLockScreen.BACKUP system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fraqq:
yeah i hate the transparency also...but i cant find a way...****
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krzysiec:
I hate it because see two different layers (Home screen and Lockscreen) are mixed ... Awful effect :/ And i don`t know what is what ... Two clocks one sense with weather, second from lockscreen ... one updated, second not ... erghhhhh
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] m0jo:
i can only unlock it by pressing the menu button. Is this normal for this method? (BeHero ROM)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] armored57:
after this it's impossible to desactivate the Alarm of htc_deskclock, I must use standard deskclock eclair for the Alarm.

Anyone know to change background?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tiger2z:
I renamed system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk,but the eclair tranparent lockscreen(include unlock&sound) didn't showup,the lockscreen is a transparent time screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
As i just said in the other thread, it is a problem with the legend dump, hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can work out why.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Not sure if this does the same as what people are experiencing but might be worth a shot. Note, I have not tried this.

Just Google: Howtoremovetheerislockscreen.aspx

Should be the first and only hit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxisma:
Another problem, you can't use Alarms because you can't make them stop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hikki2000:
I really love this, runs ok on my friends Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Doesnt seem to work on any legend based rom? Messes the lockscreen up totally
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] m0jo:
this is kinda strange.. it works. But the bars to unlock are upside down and you have to pull it up instead of sideways oO
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dajones89:
ive got this on my hero running villainrom 5.02 and its vertical instead of horizontal :(

is it a fixable problem, maybe "landscape" is actually "portrait" on the nexus etc and just needs sorting in the source code? (im no dev im just guessing :D)

if its not fixable what rom does it work fine on?

ive tried the lock app thing on the market but it shows the homescreen for about 2 seconds before the lock screen appears :(

dan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
Natahan, in your Vanillain ROM it was possible to not have any lock screen and just go straight to the Pattern Unlock. I really like this, is there any way of getting that option in your future ROMS? I'm currently using 5.02.

Thanks in advance...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
I have found that in Chpoubs 2.5 Hero ROM (link below) he has the Eclair Lock Screen with a wallpaper, so no transparency.

w w w . mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,3847.0.html

I queried it with him and he said it's pretty complicated, but he changed the file \ system \ framework \ framework-res \ res \ layout \ keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

He then replaced the background color by the number of an image with a HEX editor.

To view the xml file as text he used AXMLPrinter2.jar - which you can get from hxxp://code.google.com/p/android4me/downloads/list

I have not tried it nor would know where to start but maybe someone with more knowledge can figure it out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trikko:
Whoops. It messed up my 5.2 rom as reported previusly by other users. But I've deleted the apk, so how can I get back ugly (but not messed) htc lock screen?

actually, from the other eclair lock screens that i've used... it goes to silent instead of vibrate. something that is messed with mine is that when i hold the power button, the menu shows connectivity icons and with text in white (+white background = no visible text)

Broken Lockscreen after i deleted HtcLockscreen.apk

Hi,

I deleted HtcLockscreen just as you said but after a reboot, the eclair lockscreen was somehow broken (you can see it in the attachment)...

what can i do to fix it?

I tried to google a solution but dindt find anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Sorry that I ask, but what agenda/calendar widget is that?

And what rom are you using? Because villainrom 12 has a .zip file to enable the eclair lockscreen ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JonnyZaggi:
Actually I just hard-reset my device so i don't knor... when i find out, i'll tell you..

I'm using the official 2.1 Rom....

Does anyone how to fix my problem? Or a way to flash the original rom... I tried to download the official 1.6 rom from HTC.com but my serial didnt work to it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] t2k269:
You try to search "Removing HTC Lock screen and gettng back the AOSP one." on Google. You will get a thread in modaco forum that contains two update.zip for removing the HTC lock screen.

I have tried Vanilla_Lockscreen.zip, it works but cannot stop alarm.

The another one Vanilla_Lockscreen___Clock.zip will let you get back the Android stock alarm clock and should be works fine (I am using).

I've been using Exchange 2010 for a while now, all the way from beta, and one of the nicest things is it's 6.5 integration allowing you to send and view SMS's from the Outlook/OWA interfaces.

Problem is, it seems that HTC Messaging breaks this, I cant send any SMS's and they dont show up in the Outlook interfaces.

Anyone know how to get it working again? I know I can 'disable' HTC Messaging, and if needs must I'll do that, but it brings with it other issues if you do.

Anyone? there has to be a way?
[HD2 General] Donald24:
Yes, yesterday I tried out to disable HTC-messaging, because SMS synching Exc2010 did not work.

And yes, after following all four steps, as described here, it did come back!

Downside so far is, you cannot write an SMS through the HTC-contact-app, so you'll have to use a different "new SMS" function, and you will not get threaded SMS view, just plain old classic view. But you still can view new SMSs in the HTC inbox of sense.

I can live with that ;)
[HD2 General] the_ape:
Yeah, that's what I used to do on the HD, however I've kinda got used to the new Messaging client on a device that can run it at least ;)

I'll open a support case with HTC and see if they will acknowledge the problem, and see if they have an official fix. If not, it's the hassle of finding an ArcSoft that wont stuff things up as well, and back to TMail....
[HD2 General] the_ape:
Just got this from HTC

At the moment this is not fully compatible. Please keep an eye on our website, I have noted the information on he new Exchange 2010 and we may indeed implement this in the future without having to hack the registry (please do not do this as it voids any Warranty and in some cases can brick the PDA). I cannot confirm if we will go ahead with this or not at the moment until I have more information.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
I have to say a "fair play" to HTC re. this response - actually seems like someone who knows what they're talking about has looked at it (all be it probably briefly) which is a huge leap over the normal "have you tried resetting it sir?" response.

Obviously the ideal response would've been "yes we know, our guys are working on it as we speak, should be ready around Xmas time".. we can live and hope! :)

Probably wouldn't hurt for all of us interested in getting this working to drop them a line stating such and thus hopefully raising it up their priority list.. can someone please confirm an email address?
[HD2 General] the_ape:
I've just used the standard HTC Support service through the website, I've posted a reply saying that it's a feature MS are Talking Up with the release of Exchange 2010 and WM6.5, as it is, and as it stands none of the HTC 6.5 phones will actualy work using the feature.

So let's hope...
[HD2 General] the_ape:
I asked them to seriously look into it, as it's a Microsoft published feature that's being broken, and got this back :) seems someone at HTC (even if it is 1st line) has some common sense. Seems the Irish service center is a good one to target for problems ;)

"Thank you for the feedback and suggestion Ashleigh, it would be a very good idea to include this feature in the future with new updates. I am going to see if this would be possible. I hope it is as I would use this as well."

[HD2 General] tmorgan4:
I had consulted HTC a couple weeks back. Speaking to the service rep he mentioned that the developers didn't have access to an Exchange 2010 server. I found this rather odd.

Anyway as I run my OWN server I have offered to the service rep that they can have an account on my server if they wish to test with. He sounded very excited and I told him I would need time to setup an acount (and segregation from my clients). He even rang me back later that day to chase up the details. I had sent through all the info they need to for OWA and for Outlook via HTTP.

This was a couple weeks ago and early last week I received an email saying they are still working on the issue. So we will wait and see what happens.

[HD2 General] thei:
This is a bit weird but... I have managed to get this to work fine, on 2 different ROM's so far (both Touch Pro 2's, one a T7373 and the other a T7378). To get it to work on my phone, I took my 3 SIM out, and put in an Optus SIM. On first sync, it worked. To get my mate's to work, we took his 3 SIM out, and put in an Exetel (uses Optus network) SIM. Same thing.

No idea how or why... but we all have SMS sync working properly now, can send and receive SMS via Outlook.
[HD2 General] ivanek666:
I've tried it yesterday and I've received a couple of SMS from the phone, but I can't send through Outlook, can send via Outlook OWA, but the messages never gets through and activesync on the phone takes 99% cpu and I have to reset the phone to get it to work again. It's frustrating.

You just send a message from Outlook and it goes to your phone via ActiveSync and sends correctly? Damn!
