Or even map it to the volume button (while still requiring the slide-to-unlock) and I'd be happy as a clam. The power button is just hard to reach for some, sometimes.
[Nexus One Android Development] deprecate:
...always looking out for the dwarfs of the world. very nice of you!
[Nexus One Android Development] civicvx94:
I'd be happy to be able at least wake up the phone with the trackball!

That would be perfect to me...i would assume its just some directory setting..does anyone know how to achieve this?
[Nexus One Android Development] Arthur Randolph:
I did actually contemplate that, but my pride talked me out of doing it on a crowded ski slope.
[Nexus One Android Development] Deathwish238:
Probably my biggest con for the phone...unlocking it requires pressing the power button. Someone please hack this!
[Nexus One Android Development] luyen:
I'm trying to find the way to wake up with the trackball, but not found :(

I want to group same number or contact on call log (like as Iphone) also
[Nexus One Android Development] Iman07:
This is a fantastic idea. I am honestly worried about wearing out the power button. I don't find this a flaw with the nexus, but I would love the option to turning on the screen with one tap and unlocking the phone with a second tap. I know this will make a lot of people happy. can someone please do it?
[Nexus One Android Development] seraphimserapis:
i'd love a "trackball-on" feature - the g1 could be activated with every button on it.

this was good to unburden the power-button.
[Nexus One Android Development] chuspitin:
There is an app that doing that...Lock 2.0

rename Lock 2.0.zip to Lock 2.0.apk
[Nexus One Android Development] detox702:
It costs money, but if you buy the ICE Lockscreen (By appventive), it lets you wake up the screen with the volume rocker. Its also a good thing to have just in case you get into an accident or something happens to you.
[Nexus One Android Development] MrADeveci:
This is a feature I have wanted to see since I received the N1 ... I would love to see a Trackball -On feature ......... almost like, I hate to say it .... but how the iphone unlocks.
[Nexus One Android Development] rydr1:
Then Lock 2.0 would be ideal for you.

I have always hated how we need to press the power button to lock and unlock this thing. Makes me feel like I have an iphone. My G1 and mytouch had the power button at the bottom so it was not a problem.

If I could develop the app I would, but unfortunately I do not know how.:(
[Nexus One Android Development] parrot5:
Does that prevent the phone to sleep?
[Nexus One Android Development] parrot5:
Edit: I just tried it. Even the trackball works!

Update: It's buggy. Doesn't work every single time. Sometimes you'll have to press Power first.

Does this prevent the phone to sleep?
[Nexus One Android Development] Iman07:
i just tried lock 2.0 and i guess it does the job but its so hideous! none of the themes are formated for the N1. so the background will only reach 75% but it does allow you to turn the screen on via volume switch. if they can do this, then im sure someone else can do this too. idc if i have to pay, i just want my normal 2.1 lock screen and just be able to use the volume or trackball. someone make this happen please! if we ask enough it might just happen :)
[Nexus One Android Development] setzer715:
Tried Lock 2.0. Its ok, seem to have some bugs. password protect is a joke. If you press the trackball to wake up, all you have to do is tap the home key and it goes home bypassing the lock screen. You can do that with or without the password protect on. I think it needs some work to be compatable with the nexus one.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Dan_q8:
Hi, I noticed on twitter yesterday that there is a new Magic ROM

http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=267&act=sd&cat=all

The category is ROM upgrade, and the date is 2010-01-28

I had to use twitter to find it, as it didn't show under a normal search (probably as I have UK as my country).

Is it the long awaited Android upgrade?

Thanks

Dan.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
Well.. not sure if long awaited..

But it is the official Android 1.5 Sense UI rom for the HTC Magic!

It basically turns your Magic into a Hero (multitouch browsing, usb-tethering, HTC Sense widgets, HTC keyboard, etc.)

For me, the long awaited will be the Android 2.1 Sense UI rom, which will hopefully hit the Magic by the end of March.

I'm currently running it, and I like it ;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Dan_q8:

Aha, ok, thanks for getting back to me.

The wait for 2.1 continues...

Mmm, I did see that one but didn't think it could be the same, as the thread was started on the 21st, and the date on the support page was 28th and the twitter details came in yesterday (and again this morning).

All very odd, I guess HTC's support page isn't quite 100% accurate.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] swoop_xda:
I'm seriously considering to buy Magic as my second phone. I hope to get used to Android before I will switch fully. I have a few questions, though. I hope someone will find the time to answer.

- Is it Magic 32A that is needed for this update?

- Is 32A superior to 32B in terms of memory or other features?

- How can I easily tell the model (i.e. 32A or 32B) when holding the handset in my hands? (say, I'll be allowed to reboot or do any non-destructive actions ;)

- Is it true that Magic will get an official Android 2.x update?

Thanks for your answers. I need to decide fast - the price is very good.

Cheers

Yes

- Is 32A superior to 32B in terms of memory or other features?

It just has more ram afaik.

- How can I easily tell the model (i.e. 32A or 32B) when holding the handset in my hands? (say, I'll be allowed to reboot or do any non-destructive actions

Reboot whilst holding the 'back' key. On the fastboot screen you'll see PVT 32A or 32B.

- Is it true that Magic will get an official Android 2.x update?

Apparently!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] swoop_xda:
st0kes, thanks for your answers (I know I'm a bit late to say thanks)..

since the guy who was "selling" that Magic ceased to communicate (after I told him that I want 32A and I will verify it before I buy the handset), I have a few more questions.

- I might get Magic from US, but I have no idea if 32A was ever sold in US. where can one buy 32A handset in US?

- by what names goes 32A in different countries?

- how much RAM exactly sports 32A?

- any idea where can one buy 32A in The Netherlands?

thanks in advance

Good morning,

I also managed to get it up and running but not without a few bad words :)

But it is working, looks very stable and fast and not so vanilla anymore :)

One thing though... I'm working with Google Apps and my phone flawlessly synched all my contact. When I go to the "People" tab I get "all" my contacts and there is no way to select/show the ones with phone numbers only.

With the original ROM I was able to select/show contacts with phone numbers only.

Do I overlook something here or should I wait for an update?

Thanks and have a nice day!

[HD2 General] saulo866:
I am trying a couple of ROMs based on windows mobile 6.5.3 and 6.5.5

I noticed that the input selector arrow is missing (keyboard > right side).

So how to make the selection between different input methods? I can't find any manuals online.

Sometimes the options which were available in earlier version (Text Input Settigns, Phone Keypad, Compact Qwerty, About) do appear if I tap twice (quick tapping) sometimes they do not...I am puzzled.

Please can someone point me to the right usage of the new keyboard icon (bottom centre)?

Thanks

Saulo
[HD2 General] saulo866:
I noticed that If I tap and hold then a new window appear : "Touch Input"... but this does not solve my puzzle: how to make the keyboard appears and then disappears? (just clisk for 1/3 of seconds) How to make the option appear? it seems too random...
[HD2 General] saulo866:
I found my solution: the latest Xanny ROM!

Yes this ROM does provide a new WM 6.5.3 optimized keyboard icon: if I press for less than 1/3 of sec the keyboard layout is toggled (on and off). It is fine.

If I press for 1/2 sec, then the menu of options appear. Xanny improvements is here: there is a button on the bottom line (CLOSE) which is NOT present in all other wm6.5.3 ROMs that I have tested...This CLOSE Button does effectively provide a way to revert to the Keyboard layout.

Anyway, any other feedbacks?

Thanks

Saulo
[HD2 General] makeveral:
no guys, it is like with wm6.5 but the arrow to choose keyboard is not visible.

What i want to say is that if you click lower right part of the icon it will show the keyboard selector and the rest of it will hide/show keyb.

regards
[HD2 General] TrYde:
The input selector arrow is not a part of 6.5.x UI, it has never been. It was replaced by longpress on SIP button. Of course when longpress is already used (by Sense), this is an issue... But it is not a bug of 6.5.x :)
[HD2 General] saulo866:
Thanks Tryde.

Is there a way to completely disable SENSE, so we can avoid conflicts on the icon selector?

Another questions (a bit off topic): if not possible to disable SENSE, at least can we disable HTC Messaging? I wish to use the keyboard with old fashion Microsoft TXT and SMS messaging.

thanks

Saulo
[HD2 General] TrYde:
I may be wrong (not using 6.5.x at the moment), but if you use a third party keyboard (finger keyboard for example), it should disable this popup. Have you tried ?
[HD2 General] MOn1:
Possible solution

I have found another possible solution. If you disable the change of SIP, the menu will not appear and there is no troubles with hiding the keyboard.

I disabled SIP menu in registry by changing HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\EnableSipMenu to 0.

Little disadvantage is that now you can't change your keyboard. (But if you are using still the one like me, there is no problem.)

Let me now, if it helps you.

Hi

I have searched the forums but have not found the answer to my question yet.

I want to know which is the best budget Android phone (Magic?, Dream? etc) as I intend to root and install my a custom Rom. I can't afford the Droid or Nexus yet.

Any ideas which is the best to go for?

Thanks

[General Topics] TonyDeez:
I'm a fairly new Android user endowing myself with the wonders of rooting. I currently have the myTouch 3G, it was fairly cheap (not so much anymore due to T-Mobile's unreasonable pricing as compared to Nexus One). On the bright side, the myTouch (G1 too) has the most custom ROMs available to an android device. But do note that most of the ROMs aim to achieve the features of newer devices. So it would be reasonable to just buy a new device that costs 50 dollars more than a myTouch...I'm looking at you Nexus. ):

Are there people who own a HTC Hero that is having the same 'yellowish tint' problem as the HTC Diamond?

I own a HTC Hero that has this issue. Already swapped it for another unit, but that one is having the same issue as well.

With the HTC Diamond it looks like this.

I do not have another HTC Hero to compare it with, but I've seen a HTC Hero at a local retailer which does not have this problem (problem is that it's like 90 euro's more expensive at their store).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xxThugxx @ TPB:
i can't see the hero having the same problem as that, they have totally diffrent screens, the problem with the diamond was cause HTC was sourcing some of there screens from a cheaper operation in china, maybe its just a one off or a hardware problem :)

I have updated my TP2 with the stock Verizon WM6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM upgrade. I have noticed that the weather animations on the Today screen wallpaper, which I think are great, will stop working if I go to beyond the Start screen and hit "All Applications", and it brings up the full apps list. Even without starting any of the apps there, going back to the Today screen, the animations on the wallpaper will not work with any method that I can find other than restarting Sense 2.1 with a soft reset or similar restart of manila.exe

I know most folks here are beyond the stock ROMs but wondering if anyone has seen this too and figured out how work around this problem that I assume is a bug and will not in all probability ever get fixed from HTC. Hopefully this is the worst probelm with the new ROM, whick I can live with but would like to correct if possible.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] segadc:
After a while it does stop the animation. One trick I found out (and it helps with the memory leak), is just move around the tabs just to initate the reloading of sense. Then it will do it again.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AndrewTheMan:
Hit the task manager at the top right of the screen (where you close running programs, etc) and then close it. The animation will restart.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ohaness:
I recognize the open and closing of Task Manager does restart it under normal situations, but it will not restart it if you go into the All Applications page. Thats what breaks it...keeps the aminations from running again until you restart Sense 2.1 through several methods, soft-reset, going through the motions of changing the Today screen icons (see above) or some app that resarts the manila.exe program like cleanRam.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] drewcam888:
Interesting I never noticed this before.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] msh441:
Doesn't do it on mine. I've got the "All Applications" page in Sence 2.1. I've also installed 4 icons in the All Applications and All Programs pages, Awsome Start (single row WinMo start menu). Plus animated weather with any home screen wallpaper and a working BG4All.

Goin to My Application, or All Programs, then back to home and weather works fine. So either somthing in the .cabs & tweaks I've done has fixed it, or somthing in the .cabs & tweaks you've done broke it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] segadc:
Yup it does it for me. Now I know what stops the weather.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ohaness:
I have a pretty much stock phone with several tweeks/cabs (stop sent message balloon, restore message light flashing capabilities, and a couple of other minor ones) that I don't believe have anything to do with breaking it so I'm gussing that some of yours are "fixing it".

Hmm maybe its the weather for all backgrounds that is making the weather stay. I guess I will look for that cab and see if it fixes our problem.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] msh441:
Don't have the ability to hook up my phone and upload the .cab... but search for: "2.1apristel BG4ALL_W_Fullscreen_Animations.cab" and you should come up with it pretty quick.

That's the only one that worked for me with the CDMA Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 phone without breaking somthing else.

Good luck. Hope it works for you.:)

Myself personally, I do not like the Manila start menu, and have disabled it. I use the standard WM 6.5 honeycomb start menu. I have not experienced any problems with the animations since disabling the manila start menu.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ohaness:
How do you disable just the Manila (Sense 2.1) start menu and use the WM6.5 one?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] msh441:
You can do it one of two ways.

I did it with a .cab that also added a "Programs" tab in the TouchFlo/Sense interface as well. But using the registry editor. HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration. Open File 11 and under the D word value "Enable", change the value from 0 to 1.

There is another edit, though, where you can choose which start menu the device uses. I'm 99% sure it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and under the D Word Value "IsWM6.5" and the default setting is no (which = 0). Change it to a "1" and I'm pretty sure you'll get what you're looking for.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ohaness:
In both cases, my settings are "1" and I have not changed these at all from the Stock VZW 6.5 upgrade. Am I misreading?
