[HD2 General] gstew:
Sense Scrolling?

First, thanks for all the great customizations. My own opinion is that many of the HTC customizations are buggy and in-conceived... all flash, insufficient stability & functionality.

Having gotten that off my chest, does anyone know how to disable the sense scrolling and revert back to WinMo6.5 scrolling? You know, sense scrolling made the scroll bar thin with no arrows at the top and bottom and the pop-out scrolling tab. WinMo65 scrolling looks just like windows scrolling with a variable height scroll indicator in a wider scroll bar and scroll arrows at the top and bottom.

The reason I ask this is that the sense scrolling does not work well with large lists, such as in Registry Editors and my 800+ book collection and EReader's software. In both cases, it is very hard to control the large list and stop scrolling with a desired item on the screen. An additional issue with the EReader software is that it takes FOREVER (3-5 minutes!) for the software to load the list... either at startup or when I want to open a different book. My last phone, an HTC TP2, opened the list in less than a minute.

TIA!

better psensor script

I used the information in the OP's psensor.mscr and improved it some. The script is shown below and the cab will just put the .mscr into \windows\startup. This will turn on the Proximity Sensor during a call and shut it off after the call ends without the need for an HTC PhoneCanvas (I use it with Iconsoft PhonEx). The sleep time can probably be adjusted if you want. I just went with 2 seconds.
[HD2 General] bbobeckyj:
I thought that was part of the .tsk?

On my HD2 I have HTC Black, which does this, all my other .tsk have the 'old' style.
[HD2 General] gstew:
Thanks for the info... I hadn't realized that. I tried several of the .tsk's right when I got it and have stuck with one... the T-Mobile one. Got any suggestions for finding others?

I tried other options with scrolling more like the standard WinMo 6.1 setup... but they still had modifications for touch instead of stylus screens... they still took 4 minutes to bring up my book list in the EReader (not the Barnes & Noble one, but the one from www.ereader.com) software.

BUT, fine control of the list is better as you can now (with some practice) scroll one screen at a time (this software does not allow the 'touch and drag' scrolling... maybe there's a way to enable that for this software?).

So again, thanks for the info... this is definitely an improvement in usability, if not in speed.

Now I need to find other .tsk's to try and/or find a way to change the scrolling behavior in a Today Screen.

Hmmm... I will try a screen from my Touch Pro 2 and see if that works. Hopefully that doesn't brick it!

Greg in Mississippi

P.S. Sorry for the slow response, I don't check this thread often anymore.
[HD2 General] gstew:
Update after applying Today Screen's from TP2...

No problems caused at all (wouldn't expect it, but one never knows given the HTC customizations).

They did produce the same scrolling behaviours as the various HD2 .tsk files, with some exhibiting the wider scrollbar with no up/down arrows at the top and bottom and others the pop-out scrollbar. Interestingly enough, on the TP2, the standard Windows 6.5 scrollbars show with the same files, so the touch scrolling selection is at a deeper level than just the Today Screens.

Still, even though the EReader software does not bring up the book list any quicker, I think this has made an improvement. The wider scroll-bar allows pretty good fine-control of a larger list because you can tap above or below the indicator and just scroll one page.

But of course, there's a trade-off... the pop-out indicator works better when you need to move quickly in a large list.

I think I'll keep it this way. Again, I thank you for at least giving me some options (and educating me a bit on how the .tsk's work... need to do some research now to get more familar with that).

Please help... I installed RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.07.531.6_Radio_Signed and im trying now to downgrade to 1.43 and 1.66 stock rom to reinstall hspl and my hd2 stucks in the black htc screen at 0%. I tried both usb and goldcard sd way. Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
Did you flash it from a storage card? Otherwise hspl could't be removed, right?

Looks like you have to consult this thread for a possible solution.

BTW, just wondering, can one flash the new test rom the hspl way from a usb connected pc?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xmoo:
I used both method.

Flashed with usb having HSPL

Flashed with goldcard using SDcard (to have the new SPL)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
sigh.. another that 'bite the dust'.

hopefully the other thread's thread starter can really put a note in his thread to alert people that this is not yet another rom that can be flashed and re-flashed by other roms!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ctman:
did it... just realized it myself and was searching for a solution...

so we have to wait for hspl 2...:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xmoo:
Have you tried Flashing 2.02 using Goldcard + SDcard??

2.02 requiers his own spl 2.0

I think this could be a option.

Flash 2.02 Goldcard-SDcard

Flash 1.66

Flash HSPL

Havn't tested it yet tho.

Anyone dare to test it?

If it fails, I think you can flashback the 2.07 rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
doesn't work

via sd card it sits on loading, so doesn't appear to recognize the card. if that's so then goldcard wont work.

ill play some more later with formatting the card again, but i think ideally what we need is something to kick in before the spl, in the same way the sspl does.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Electronic Punk:
Gonna download RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe and copy the rom to my sd card see if I have any luck with that as it is the version my device shipped with.

I didn't change the first 2 digits of my serial to 00 so I am not sure my gold card will work :( and can't find anywhere to get a new gold card at the moment.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ctman:
Did you have any luck?

I am stuck with this rom... but at least its fast and stable...

reactivated footprints(working) and ereader tab...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xmoo:
it's probably a goldcard issue.

Since the new spl, the device name and ID had changed, so now the goldcard for the HD2 doesn't work... Now we need goldcard for the new name/id...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
don't think it is goldcard unfortunately
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Just some noobies taughts about this please don't kill me. :D

Could it be possible that 2.07 SPL is on another position and therefore it avoids to flash back to a earlier SPL because the adres is different?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ctman:
hmm... at least its the best explanation...

am still stuck with the 2.07 rom...

and have found a maior iswsue.. sometimes when im using the internet... and the connection changes to edge or lower... (happens in trains) its not able to call me

this happend in other cooked roms when i deactivated 3g...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
don't think it's that, but we can't discount anything till we work out what they've done..

Cotulla said it may be that HTC have plugged some holes and decided to restrict downgrading. That makes sense to me, but I wish I could think of a way around it (that I could manage), it's way above my level as well ;)

It is possible to reflash the 207 using goldcard (so it's not the goldcard) so it's likely we can go up with the spl numbers with the newer roms if wanted.

I'm hoping that they decide to release 2xx based roms for the rest of the world after the tmous HD2 is out; doubtful but we can hope!

Is it possible place a shortcut to a VPN connection in the quicklinks?

It is annoying to navigate through the menus if i need to start the vpn to my corporation.

Would be nice if someone has a solution for that.
[HD2 General] jae_:
If you're using a custom client you can add that as a program in the quick links. Otherwise, the closest I get is through the Internet Sharing program added in the quick links and then tapping: Menu>Connection Settings>Manage existing connections. Is this quick enough for you?

Out of interest, are you using the WM client or have you installed some other vpn client?

Hi all!

I was trying to dual boot my Asus P565 Zest with Android, but unfortunately none of the tries went beyond "Jumping to kernel..." thing with the existing configurations based on HTC models. I did searches but I couldn't find any build for P565.

Can our device be added to the supported ones? I'm not highly skilled on programming and I'm afraid I cannot contribute much, but I believe it would be worth giving a try.

Regards

Genci
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] agitate:
Have you had a look at Huang Xiao's pages about getting Android running on the ASUS p535? Probably a much better starting point than the HTC versions. There is a HaRet based package and also the full patched kernel source available for download. See:

http://sites.google.com/site/siteofhx/Home/android

Not tried it myself yet, but I will as soon as I get a spare memory card. If you try it, let us know how you get on with it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] genci:
Checked and tried but no success...

stuck on "Booting Linux" splash". Anyone with a better idea?

Genci
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] agitate:
It definitely won't "Just Work". You'll have to use HaRet to do some debugging. Still not got a spare card so I can't help at the minute, but you may want to try booting linux immediately after a device reset (advice given on the Haret page at http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET). Also the startup.txt file might need some modification, especially to reflect the correct amount of memory.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
There have been known problems with 16gb cards on the 2.02 Manila so I suspect there maybe on the new 2.07 as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] B4PJS:
I think the general problem is that manila is scanning your SD card for things like music and pictures etc, so whenever you boot just remove the SD card untill manila shows and then reinsert it. My 8GB sd card gives me these issues if I have too many files on it (storing your kitchen on the sd card can do this as there are 30k+ files in it!)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] baskient80:

Hi all,

I have a Snap with the Official WM6.5 ROM.

1 - I want to change the notification settings : for example when you miss a call or a SMS, then the LED should flash until you see the missed call/SMS.

On My HD2 I can do it fairly easily, but on the Snap I do not wee how to do that....

2 - When using Tomtom, the phone go standby, I would like to force the phone to have the display always on... again on my HD2, this is working as expected, but on the Snap, no way... I even change the power settings, but still the screen switch off after a while.

If you have ideas I will be happy to test them.

Agreed about the old eyes.

Just got off of the phone with the Nexus One support. There is no current way to change the font size in the built in apps.

I lodged a complaint/suggestion that this seems like an obvious oversight and a possible violation of the ADA (in America at least).

The rep was very pleasant, but really didn't have a suggestion other than to research 3rd party apps to do this.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] myke66:
Just a quick question if anyone happens to know about this. Is using the WiFi tethering app for an extended amount of time going to be harmful to the phone/battery? I ask because ive been having net issues as of late, and ive been using the phone as my primary internet line. Been doing some online gaming and whatnot, and i noticed that the phone gets very hot.

Used around gig or so of data in the past few days to give an idea. Will this be harmful to my phone?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] david_ag:
Hot temeperature is the BIGGEST enemiy of Li-on batteries so yes, runnning the phone HOT for extended periods of times will eventually damage your battery. And of course, hot temeprature is not friendly either to all of the phone components.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
The phone knows the temp of the battery, I have had mine shut off several times when it reaches a critical level and won't come back on till I pull the battery or wait 10 minutes or so.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
Kcarpenter is right. Tethering makes the phone's radio and wifi radio go into overdrive, transmitting all that data. They will get hot, and they will heat up your battery. But, when the battery reaches a critical level, the phone shuts down and won't start up until the battery is cold.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Is_907:
So keep it in the freezer while you tether ;)

Just kidding.

Seriously, though, I'd only tether until you get your internet back up unless you are set to upgrade your phone more frequently than the 22month cycle.

(I know a lot of people here use their Heros as primary means of internet access but I also think most of us will be eligible for upgrades very soon, heh.)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
You COULD update to the 2.1 ROM that Mobile Network Sharing works in. Then you can just tether over USB - No ridciculous levels of heat that way. ;) Then you loose a lot of features.

I had an odd dream last night that they got multi touch working in the 2.1 ROM....I spend too much time here!:o
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
You could have a nandroid of the 2.1 for tethering, and then another nandroid to go back to your rom of choice.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Is_907:
Or try PdaNet... it has a USB tether feature, right?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
PDA net is good and all, but if you want to let a download run, it looses its conection after a few minutes and you have to reconnect.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] david_ag:
The battery protects itself by shutting down under extreme conditions yes, but extended periods of usage while the phone temperature is at 40-50 degrees, WILL kill your battery. It will stop holding a good charge over time.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phiqtion:
pdanet is the best way to tether on your hero, it won't overheat your phone and it is very stable. those of you who are having frequent disconnects should try getting a better signal or setting your wireless as EVDO ONLY and not HYBRID.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Still doesn't work well for me on full EVDO with full bars or on an Air Rave(almost defeats the purpose of tethering), Seems like if I am not constantly browing the web it disconects.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gthing:
Just keep your phone in a nice ice bath or crygenic chamber.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] willowmp:
Maybe you could take the back off the phone and jerryrig a metal heat-sink to the battery.
