Thanks!

Glad to see you've put HelixLauncher in the Market. I started with 1.0, then briefly on 1.1 [sorry some dum(|) Droid user violated your trust by posting it] and now using 1.2 ... love it! Thank you for all the work you've been putting into developing HelixLauncher, arctu!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rotordroid:
1.1b from Market is a constant FC for me. On Chevy's latest 2.1 ROM (2.0.2 ESE53). Reverted back to original and everything is fine
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Where is the reference located?, Can it be restored?. Love to see transparency in the app background.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
i'm looking into the pixelated icon problem :/

@Rotordroid:

i don't know what you mean by that. If you're coming from 1.0, you need to uninstall in case you didn't read the thread or the frontpage. Anyways, if it didn't FC because of that, it would help if you could give me a logcat. ;)

EDIT: @DocRambone: I need to recompile the app to add in back the background. Will do it in the next release perhaps.. 1.2.1? :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] oldblue:
Arctu,

It's almost there buddy. Bettercut still cannot "Edit Icons" but it can create new ones. Anyways, awesome work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
I believe bettercut never able to edit unless you're using openhome? isn't it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] htcmagic:
Tried myself the market version, I can create bettercut shortcuts with custom icons but cannot drop it on launcher bar. The icons resets.

Also some choppy/jumpy scrolling in the app tray.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
The market version is 1.1b. Donators are having 1.2 now. It isn't choppy on mine. Must be your phone doing other stuffs. :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jlevy73:
Using baked goods 1.1b (on N1) scrolling in app tray is a bit choppy. Just tried with another rom, got the same result. Maybe this is resolved in 1.2. Not complaining just confirmed what the other member stated about chopiness.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Humpa:
1.1b from the Market, and the app drawer isn't choppy or jumpy for me. I have about 5 pages of apps - the scroll seems right. Definately not "jumpy", maybe not 100% "fluid" movement, but not sure if it is choppy (I rarely use the app drawer, I use Apps Organizer). I'm using the Droid with ese53 from the sbf and an Adamz kernel.

EDIT: no, mine isn't choppy at all. Just compared it to default Home, and if anything Helix has a little nicer scroll.

I may try 1.2 later, but I'd rather wait for the Market update notice even though I've already downloaded 1.2 - I like automation. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] oldblue:
No, Bettercut normally edits icons fine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Yes, Helixlauncher is a bit more choppy than a barebone standard launcher. But i guess the added functions gives that effect.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
@oldblue: hmmm. i've never succeed at editing bettercut shortcuts. i even have stock 2.1 launcher2 on my phone? are you sure?

@DocRambone: perhaps something changed. it's not choppy on mine. :/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] oldblue:
You have to edit the ones that are already on the launcher screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
@oldblue: I added a shortcut with bettercut. Then I go to Edit shortcut through bettercut. Tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] oldblue:
Add a shortcut the normal android way. Hold an icon down on the launcher and place it on the screen. Then go into bettercut. Press Edit Icons. Normally, bettercut will populate with your icons that are on the screen, but with your launcher it force closes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Humpa:
I'm using 1.1b, but here's what my BetterCut does.

If I create a new shortuct with BC and give it a custom name and icon, it works perfect. It creates the shortcut on Helix and also Home. I can launch Home and delete the new icon (to keep Home from filling up) and then go back to Helix and it is still there.

If I create a new shortcut with BC and then go back to Helix and then go back to BC and Edit Shortcut, things get a little different. I can edit the icon I created with BC and I can change the pic and text, but when I go back to Helix the shortcut I was just editing is still there unchanged, but a new one is too with the new icon and text I just "edited". But I delete the "original", and all is well.

EDIT: this is on Droid with 2.1 ese53 and default launcher is what I'm referring to as "Home".
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Humpa:
BC doesn't FC on me if I do that. But BetterCut only works "100%" with Home. I believe it works with Helix just like it does with Launcher2 - you have to create the icon from BetterCut. At least last time I had a Launcher2, I thought that's what BetterCut could do.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mikey:
Installed v1.1b from the market to test this app out........

Is it normal behavior for it too:

I'm on screen 3.....I open contacts or any app, click on home button, it takes me back to screen 3 instead of the actual home page *screen 1*

I set it up with 5 pages....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Quie2TP:
Renaming Icons

I installed your 1.1 because I like what I saw in the features. I have been using DXTop for quite some time. I like the speed and look of your launcher better. HOwever, DXTop allowed you to rename icons by pressing and holding on the icon, then the options came up to delete, remove, or rename. Is there anyway to get your launcher to do this also? THanks for all the hard work on a great app! I am running BB0.8 ESE53 with Adams low voltage 1000 kernel.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lazzzara:
This is pretty awesome. I've had a play around with skinning it (through the standard unzip-change-rezip-sign method) and it's all working exactly as expected.

Only thing that's confusing me is how people have skinned the app shortcuts either side of the app drawer button. Skinned icons reset to their default icon when I drag them there ):

Also, maybe if there were seperate versions of;

all_apps_button_focused.png

all_apps_button_normal.png

all_apps_button_pressed.png

for landscape?

Though, I dont think you're able to have different landscape icons for the app shortcuts either side (I'm thinking of a sense UI type curved tab with the icons either side continuing the curve... if you know what I mean?) so that may not be necessary.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ChevyNo1:
@arctu - Nice work!! I also would like to include this in my next ROM (Simply Stunning) and of course would link back here for the updates - if that is OK with you of course. Thanks for your hard work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] oldblue:
Arctu,

I skinned your 1.2 launcher for the Alldroid community and am asking for permission to release it once you have 1.2 up publicly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Redflea:
Regarding choppy behavior, I've compared this launcher to the stock launched in Simply Stunning 2.02, and see no difference in app drawer scrolling...both are very smooth with static wallpaper, both become a little less smooth with live wallpaper.

This is running at 600 mhz with the law voltage 5 slot 1.0 kernel.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lemurion287:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] btdownloads7:
@DocRambone,

I forgot to mention this about the theming problem I had earlier -- doing it manually actually worked fine once I realized that the modded APK should not get re-signed. It can just be pushed to the device and worked like a charm. It was bugging the hell out of me that Metamorph was doing it with no problem, so I had to figure out how to to it manually.
[HD2 General] huevo0000:
im a huge fan of the hd2 and since i saw it and i cant wait to get my hands on that awesome device. i was thinking to buy it from USA T-mobile when it releases but i have a little promblem since im from South America (Paraguay) and i just want to buy the phone without any plan! so this is my doubt! do you guys know if it is posible to buy only the phone whithout any data,voice,sms plans or u necesary have ti get a data plan to buy the phone?? or is there a way to get like a prepaid plan so there's no montly bill..

any sugestions??

also does anyone know if there's a way to unlock it so i can use it with my operator sim here in paraguay??

Thanks!! (sorry for my bad english)
[HD2 General] Jawb:
I have been in Paraguay :)

Anyway, yes you can buy it without any plans. Just do a google search, as I remember you're on the same bands as Europe...
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
If the bands are the same as europe, a t-mobile USA hd2 won't work on 3G in paraguay
[HD2 General] huevo0000:
thanks for such a fast response!! could u be more specifict please?? i know i can buy it from amazon so i get le unlocked version but my dubout was especifically with the us t-mobile version. i want this one because of the price and also bacause it cames with an 16gb microsd card. but in tmo web page it says that you need a data plan with that device and you have to choose betwen even more plan or even more plus plan o somethig like that, so it confuses me
[HD2 General] huevo0000:
only the telestra version works with the 3g in paraguay but the price is very high so i wont get that one! it's betwen the european version or the us version, i dont mind if the 3g wont work
[HD2 General] Jawb:
You have to verify which bands you use in Brazil. I have never had a problem with my phones in Brazil, but I'm not certain enough to guarantee that it will work. But find out which bands are used and then compare it to the phone you want to buy...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PGMN313:
I am a long time user of WM devices but this is something I haven't run into yet. (as a note, I am currently running WM 6.1)

A couple of months ago, after my phone froze and I was forced to do a hard reset, I ran into problems with getting my contacts back into my phone. Prior to the hard reset, I regularly synced my Touch Pro 2 with my PC using the standard vista mobile device center. I also had microsoft's MyPhone backing up my contacts from my touch pro 2.

After the had reset, I first attempted to restore the contacts on my phone from mircosofts MyPhone site. That seemed to work, the problems arose after I attempted to sync my touch pro 2 with my PC. The first attempted "sync" took hours (I have 2000+ contact for business...) and ultimately failed, leaving duplicates of every contact on my touch pro 2 (no duplicates were created on my PC.

Now, with the release of WM 6.5 I am finally ready getting ready to address the duplicate contacts issue after I install WM 6.5

An important note; Since I haven't successfully synced my touch pro 2 with my PC in several weeks, there are some contacts that are on my PC and not on my touch pro 2 and some on my touch pro 2 that are not on my PC.

After the WM 6.5 is finished being installed on mu touch pro 2, should I sync with my PC first, then restore through microsoft's MyPhone? Or restore my touch pro 2 via microsoft's MyPhone then sync with my PC?

Is SPB backup something to consider to help me resolve this?

Thanks for any assistance!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DebbieNY13:
I had the same problem. For some reason, WM doesn't like syncing with different types of sync methods. :confused:

When I had 2 PCs both using ActiveSync and syncing with my Kaiser, all was fine with the world and I had all 3 synced up beautifully. Now, I have one with Device Center and one with ActiveSync and they seem to positively hate each other. :mad: Any time I throw another method into the equation (be it MyPhone or a backup software -- I use PIM Backup), it becomes utter chaos! :eek:

Hence my signature below... I have learned the hard way and can't figure out how to get around it. :(

Hi everyone...

I want to ask if anyone managed to fix the Hero WiFi problem... If you haven't see all these threads in forums around the world about the same problem that we have on Hero, and the problem is that the Hero connects to the WiFi without any problems and starts working normally, but after few minutes it looks that its is connected, the WiFi indicator shows that the network is Excellent or good but when I try to open new pages, the browser says that the network has dropped or no access to the AP... I think this problem is well known here... so I was wondering if any one has managed to fix the problem, or is there any program, or update from HTC that I missed to fix this problem...

Thanks in advance for every one..

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc10:
This appears to be linked to what router you are using. I have 3 different routers. 2 work fine 1 doesn't. The one that does not work is the newer most expensive Belkin MIMO router.

Some say that you should disable 11n and just use b and g, others say manually select channel. Not sure if either reliably works. Best way is to change the router. The one I am using at the moment is 7 years old, so you do not need hi-tech.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
It's definitely not an N issue. I have 3 routers and have this problem with all of them. One is a WAP-11 running D-Link firmware, one is a WRT-54G running the most recent Tomato, and the other is one their early b/g routers running stock firmware. I've also tried the obvious tweaks with no improvement (different channels, different security settings, etc...). Also have the problem on both of our Heros. My wife's is still stock, mine is running the damagecontrol ROM (had the problem when it was stock, too).

I actually just got out of bed and sat down at my computer to research this exact issue. My wife and I both need data service for our jobs, and 3G coverage is lousy at our house no matter which carrier, so it's absolutely crucial that WiFi work well.

I've read bits and pieces on this forum and others that makes it sound like flashing a radio update could fix the problem. Is this accurate? It also sounds like people are having issues with bricking their phones after a radio update. Any truth there?

Google searches on the subject bring up mountains of irrelevant results to sift through, if anybody could save me a little time and point me in the right direction I'd be very, very appreciative.

(As someone who's worked in IT for over 20 years, I understand that there are always bugs and compatibility issues with technology. However, given that Linksys is the most popular brand of home router out there, I think it is inexcusable that the phone shipped with this issue. That Sprint and HTC have allowed it to go unremedied for this long is downright appalling. "Buy a new router" is NOT a solution that they should be able to get away with.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc10:
Your problems may not be the same as the ones referred to by the OP. What are the symptoms? Can you connect at all to the routers?

The symptoms of the common problem that I was referring to is that you appear to be connected to the router but whenever you try to use the connection you get a connection error message despite your wireless settings appearing to show you are connected to the router. Are those your symptoms?

As I said I have two routers that work fine, one of which is an old D-Link DI524, the other being a newer Netgear WGR614. Both of those only have 11b & g and are running with original firmware. The one that does not work, the Belkin, has 11n, also running with original firmware.

For some flashing the original radio has worked. Others report that it makes no difference.

I have just noticed your reference to Sprint. In that case it may be better to start your own thread on the dedicated Hero CDMA forum, which deals with CDMA phones rather than the GSM phones that most of us have got. You could also try reading and asking here as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
Pretty much exactly. WiFi will work for 10 minutes or so, then quit. Phone still says it's connected, excellent signal strength, and has valid IP configuration. Just won't pass any traffic.

I'm seriously considering flashing a newer radio version to see if it helps, but I've read accounts of bricked phones when people try to revert back to the original radio. I have to be able to get back to original because if I don't get WiFi working the phones will need to be returned since WiFi is not optional for us. (Sadly, I'll probably end up stuck with a Blackberry if we go that route, since WinMo is 100% out of the question.)

As an alternative solution, can anybody recommend a router that's currently available and known to work with the Hero? I would need it to support external antennas and be able to flash dd-wrt onto it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cauli:
I've read a few reports of bricking while flashing radios, but in all cases it's been due to the user. The actual flashing takes place on the first reboot after the update.zip is applied in recovery. At this point the phone displays a graphic of a box and a phone with an arrow indicating transfer from box to phone. Apparently some people have freaked at this point, as they thought the update was already done & hence something must be wrong. As a result they pull their battery :eek:

I've not come across bricking reports specifically in relation to reverting back to the original radio. Got any links?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc10:
I am not sure why you would need this. I also wonder whether flashing something different on to a router which works may stop it working. But then I may be showing the limits of my knowledge. :o

If it is any use to you I still use my Belkin router (it is both wired and wireless) for my usual wifi throughout most of the house and my office. The only thing I don't use it wirelessly for is the Hero (and an old printer with a LAN print sharer). I sat my old D-Link router on top of the Belkin and wired the two together using a LAN cable. So the wireless bit of the D-Link works for the Hero via the wired hub of the Belkin. I have exactly the same set up for the Netgear router, which serves another part of the house and is also wired in to the Belkin.

They both work fine piggy backed by wire on to the Belkin. The problem is only with the wireless bit of the Belkin, not the rest of it. So why not try a new router wired in to your existing one?

Both the two routers I have named work, but both are, I guess, no longer available new. Not sure if they were ever sold in the USA, given I am in the UK. But if they did why not try a used one on fleabay?

And I still think you would be better served posting on the specific Sprint forum. The Sprint version of this phone is a CDMA phone with different version of ROM than the GSM version which most of the rest of us use. The phones even look different!

Hero/router compatibility list

As so many differing reports of wi-fi connection issues are appearing, I have thrown together a quick-and-dirty summary of known routers/APs mentioned in this and similar threads. Put simply, "Good" work with the Hero using WPA2, "Bad" don't work at all, and "Ugly" work but with limitations.

I don't claim that this is in any way definitive or scientific, but it should help anyone looking for help with an inop wi-fi link. Please post any further details you may have both on the listed hardware and any other devices, working or otherwise. The more info we have the better placed we are to help each other.
