[Touch HD General] Swarvey:
Okay, so lately my screen's becoming more and more out of alignment. I've basically had to use the black frame on the right hand side of the phone to click anything on the right that needed to be clicked.

Then last night my phone froze while rebooting, wouldn't show the boot animation, just the welcomehead image and froze there. Needless to say I thought something's up. Long story short I checked everything that there is to check and ended up having to hard-reset.

While flipping my phone around through all possible dimensions, i noticed the oily looking stain that is the well-known Newtons Rings problem.

I wasn't willing to be without my beloved Blackstone for a warranty repair and was about to jump on eBay to look for a replacement screen and digitizer, when I remembered something that fixed the touch screen in my old Sony Ericsson P900. So here's what I did that has so far fixed my newtons rings and returned the more soft-touch feel of the screen.

WARNING do the following at your own risk!!! I will not be held responsible for you killing your already dead, Newton Ringed screen

* First, be sure you have a screen protector on. I have a feeling that not having the protector on will damage the screen further.

* Grab your trusty $2 Bic cigarette lighter.

* Hold your phone on such an angle that the oily-looking Newtons Rings are visible. The right amount of light, from the right angle will show them up like the dog's proverbials.

* Ignite the lighter and hold it so the flame is lightly touching the area that has the problem.

--You won't see the rings disappear, more like they will start moving--

* Move the ignited lighter until you have moved, or removed, the oily looking problem areas.

EDIT 29-07-2010:

* Try not to hold the lighter too close for too long, otherwise you may end up needing a new screen protector

NOTE: I do NOT guarantee this will work for you, however, in my particular case, the rings appear to have gone, the screen is now once again soft to touch and the alignment seems MUCH better. It has now been approximately 12 hours since I did this, and so far, so good. All problems are still gone, no visible rings, and the screen is still far more responsive, almost like new.

Newton Rings

So did it fix the issue permanently?:confused:
[Touch HD General] Swarvey:
Well, it sort of has succeeded. While my screen still has a huge patch of Newtons Rings (approximately an inch and a half long, by about three quarters of an inch across, they came back after about a month or two) the screen is still functioning, the "soft touch" I mentioned in my first post has nearly dicipated, but it still works. Every now and then the screen will act as if it's stuck down towards the bottom of the screen, but simply rubbing it with a cloth and some mild pressure (just like when I clean it) is enough to bring the screen back to working.

At the very least, it has given me time to save up for a new screen. But I won't be replacing it until such time as the next big change pops up in WM6.5 builds and I cook a new ROM. At this point I'll be completely disassmbling the whole phone for a thorough cleaning. While I'm at it I might as well replace the screen and keep the N.R one for a backup.

To put it simply, the screen is still working and I have no need to replace it as yet.

P.S I'm no longer using a screen protector, I don't care if it gets scratched up now, because it will be replaced, but not until it 100% needs it. I will however put a new screen protector on, if I have to do the lighter trick again.
[Touch HD General] Satyan:
Thanks Swarvey, got newton rings and helped remove the with the lighter, however i will hav to replace the screen protector.
[Touch HD General] Swarvey:
Cool, glad to hear it wasn't just a once-off that it worked.

I never burned/melted my protector by doing it, but you might have different results with the much higher temperature you subjected yours to.

Keep us posted as to how well it works for you.
[Touch HD General] kyshar:
In fact I know a less dangerous way to eliminate those rings. I was exactly in the same situation with my HTC Touch HD. I just used some Scotch tapes on the screen, pull the screen to me , and with a lot of patience, everything as desapeared.

It works again !!
[Touch HD General] kingjack:
Satyan, can you be more specific on how to do it....i have tried duct tape method at least 10 times and it has not worked....

1. how far shud i hold the lighter

2. how do i know, if its working - will the oily patch disaapeear as the area is heated

3. Is it confirmed that oily patch is completely gone n doesn;t return within 1-2 days

So i recently switched to a macbook and im trying to load a new rom onto my mytouch and i have a couple issues since i dont have a pro i just have the new unibody macbook i dont have an SD slot to load a rom onto the memory card and then load it via update.zip.

So im wondering is there a way to turn to load the ROM onto the memory card via usb (usb mass storage) or something tried searching here and tried googling mac+mytouch load roms and didnt really get anywhere so i was hoping someone can give me a push or shove in the right direction
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wellbug:
hey,buddy.I'm apple&android fans.

Do you have a usb data cable？if you have one,you can do this.

1.Connect your macbook and mytouch by the usb data cable.

2.Slide down the status bar（on the top),like this

3.then you'll see a new usb disk on your macbook.this is your sd card storage.

In addition，you can download an fastboot for mac.loading roms by this.

Okay so like yeaah. This may sound stupid but here's what I'm thinking. Because there are so many UI's like the Blur from Motorola. Sense from HTC. Blaah blah blah, why not make a custom one. We can make it based off of what the people want. Honestly, I like Blur (Don't laugh at me!) So why not try to get t how we like it. I know everybody's going to want something different, but why not try? We can try to take different parts of different UIs, and put them together and make our own. I know it's lame and all, but think about it. Don't keep reading... pause for 5 seconds. Okay now think about it and stop reading. We can even make this UI use-able for Vanilla Android 2.1 and 1.6 (and even people on 1.5 [hahahaa]). And hey, maybe it'll be so good that the Swagger Jacker Windows Mobile users can Swagger Jack it from us. So what do you say, wanna give it a shot?
[Android Software Development] fahim_k:
where do we start? im interested
[Android Software Development] OG:
Idk. I posted here to see if anyone who knew who to do it was interested and wanted to help. I think we should start Googling.
[Android Software Development] madsborelli:
lol.. trolling is fun
[Android Software Development] OG:
Fosho it is =] I'm trollin on 22's.

But lets be honest, a custom UI like MotoBlur is just like a theme. You just falsh it over something and make it look different and add-on some more widgets and etc... Motoblur is just 1.6 with a custom UI. Not saying that I like it, but it's okay and I mean, what's different from MotoBlur and Android 1.5? Notification Bar, Widgets, More tabs on the bottom, different clock, and more Social Networing connections. How hard would that be to make. We already have our own Widgets. Fasttest I think was the first to make the amazing looking clock that is now used in SuperCSDIv4 Rex3MixCSDI has a Black Notification Bar. We can make some custom Icons. We could Theme ADW_Launcher and give the bottom two buttons some use like how on Sense, you can go to;

All Apps-Phone-Add Widgets

and on MotoBlur, you have;

Phone-All Apps- Contacts

Why not make our own. Give it some customization. Take some random peoples requests. All these UIs and stuff, their all (I think I'm almos 100% correct on this, think about it) Home Replacements. Like BetterCut, DxTop, Home++. They all chang everything and give you more widgets. With MotoBlur and Sense you get new Boot Screens. We can do that. Make everything look cool. We been doing that. Why not make it. Post it on Google.Code. Be everywhere. Everyone will be talking about us and how cool we are. Port it to all the cool devices. Other then a few apps and Modifications, Custom UIs are just Themes. Like Enoch, JesterDroid, etc...
[Android Software Development] Luca_Dream:
I may not know too much about coding and things like that, but I have more than enough experience with graphics and such. I'm all for this idea so if you need any help designing or just ideas you can pm me or add me on gtalk: groundporpouise@gmail
[Android Software Development] kostnacsek:
Yeaaah, that's what I was waiting for. I thought about the same thing not too long ago. My opinion is, that for maybe the biggest android community it shouldn't be a problem. So good luck :)
[Android Software Development] letterboxdreams:
I'm interested in seeing what could be made up. There are a lot of great features from all of the different themes out there, and piecing them together could be awesome if done right. I think a design should be aimed at before you have a million people all willy-nilly trying to make them. We should design, then build, then post a how to, that way the rest of the community can make their own based off of a common idea.
[Android Software Development] OG:
Now can we get anyone up in here who know how to make widgets? WE NEED WIDGETS UP IN HERE!
[Android Software Development] M..N:
Maybe you could ask Koxx he creates, very good widgets, with great functionality.
[Android Software Development] OG:
Thanks I'll PM him right away. This is going so well!
[Android Software Development] M..N:
So any advancement in this?
[Android Software Development] OG:
I PM'd koxx, but he didn't say anything back yet. I'll wait. Until then, anyone know how to add the little tabs on the bottom, like how MotoBlur has Dialer/All Apps/Contacts, what do you guys think we should make it. Gimmie some opinions.

Okay. Here are some links to some threads with customized buttons. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645683 <-- link to helix launcher and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=630659&highlight=doc <-- link to launcher with buttons.
[Android Software Development] OG:
We'll be using the Launcher with Buttons. It's better becuase we can use only two buttons instead of 5. All we need to do is replace the Left and Right tabs, and make the Middle tab a different image so that the Launcher looks better. I think for the All Application Drawer, we could use the 2.1 rectangle. We could make it go like a straight line like the Espresso Launcher, but without the curved corners, ours is going to get all the way to the end of the screen. We could... give me some more ideas on what to put on the left and right tabs, what do you use most. For me it's Messaging and Brower.
[Android Software Development] Luca_Dream:
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI

i think the left tab should be contacts, middle all apps, and right should be direct message. just like on GDE.

Taken into consideration, post will be saved for future refrence. Here's the thing, this is a CUSTOM UI. We are not trying to copy any ideas. But yeah I do text a lot so that'll probably be one of them. In fact, I contacted one of the people who makes Custom Launchers and asked him if he could make his a little different then it already s, so that people could choose what they want where. This is a Custom UI by the people, for the people.
[Android Software Development] M..N:
Re: [THINK TANK] Custom UI *BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE*

okay good. now we need to come up with a theme and a list of neccessary widgets needed.

Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Android Software Development] :
I talked to DocRambone, and he said it's cool if we use his Launcher. Going good so far. We just started with (litterally) the base of the UI. Btw, I'm thinking we should try to get LiveWallpapers working on this. Of course this will only be for the 2.1 users but it's good enough. We're definetly going to throw in 3D. I tried contacting koxx but he hasn't messaged back. And I talked to some other Widget developer, but he hasn't messaged back either. Now, to theme it. I'm going to try and contact a whole bunch of themers. Here's what I'm thinking, we'll take a little bit of everyone's work, and incorporate in some way, shape, or form. Weather it be a Widget, a Launcher, a part of a Theme. I'm sure we can get it all to run, but of course, this will need a lot of hard work.
[Android Software Development] jroid:
I'm a designer, and I've done a little android theming. I can certainly help designing icons for the ui
[Android Software Development] :
Fasho fasho. That's cool. Now all we need to do is get some kind of Notification Bar. We could just incorporate the Transparent one, but that seems like letting it go easy. I'll probably just go with that anyone unless someone is willing to throw in work and make me a pretty one. I'm not too sure about what we'll need after that. It SEEMS like were set, we just got to get designing, and then shove it all in a file and make it connect. Sign, Zip, Run. But yeah. This was a little easier then I thought!

Bro we're almost set on the list of people to collect.

Icons

Launchers

Widgets

All we need is for some people to reply to see weather or not we can use their thingys. So far, we have a Launcher and are going to try for icons with Jroid. All we need now is a Notification Bar, some different colors like when you select something or roll the trackball over it, and some other stuff.
[Android Software Development] jroid:
Well, its certainly harder than u think. Is this gonna be a theme or is it an actual UI? A ui has its own framework, apks, libraries, drivers, etc. Much like HTC sense. Its not just a theme however. Its has a theme built in, but think of a ui as a whole system
[Android Software Development] :
Shiz. Drivers takes a while. IF we can find anyone to do it for us. Damn. I guess it'll just have to be a theme and then we can slowly progress twords the big thing. A UI!
[Android Software Development] jroid:
ha. this will end up being a theme.. to develop a UI such as sense or Timescape, it takes lots of highly professional devs and time to develop all the elements necessary to build a UI. knowing how users are on here, a project like this will probably never be completed. Not to shut this down, but i'm just being realistic
[Android Software Development] :
Then we'll just shut it down. I'll get a Mod to lock it up.

Guide for installing NEW Manila 2D v2.0 build 19191432 on HTC Prophet​

I have noticed more and more people are contacting me asking how to install the New Manila on there Prophets

so i decided to write a guide to get you guy's n girls up and running in no time

All of the following cab files are needed just for the basic Manila if you miss any Manila wont start it,s as simple as that

MEGA Manila 2D 2.0 Base Cabs all needed

HTC Scroll 2.0.19173130 wm6.5

HTC Scroll 2.0.19173130 wm6.1

HTC Shared Modules 1.01.19143331.01.cab

HTC Framework 1.1.19183729.WAlien.cab

HTC DRM Middleware 1.5.19142824.00.cab

HTC HTCAnimation 1.3.5.0.cab

Manila 2D v2.0 build 19191432 Patched version

GFX 2DManila 2.0.19191432.Patched.cab

Manila Home Weather Updater Script

Install all of the above Cab files then soft reset your device and Manila will start up be patient it's a little slow first time

Your Manila should now be looking like this :

Then my next suggestion but this is only a suggestion would be to install the following theme it not only looks good but it has been lovingly optimized for our type of device by Paul Days and having it installed makes Manila use 2MB less RAM than normal Manila :)

Paul Days ELFin HD2 Full Theme Optimized Cab

Now your device will look like the picture below which is as near as your going to get to Manila sense used on the latest Touch HD2

Then after this you can add extra tabs and really Pimp your Manila by following my other thread here:

Big thanks must go to the Following user's for making all this possible :)

ROM cooks I hope this guide will inspire someone to carry on my work and combine this lovely Manila with 6.5 or just have a crack at the optimized version ;)

tried all files from wapvirus but none ended up in a running manila :-(

Hope i'll be lucky now:):)

Edit: OK, the MEGA Cab works, but seems to be an older version (looking at the filename).

In addition to that almost no functionality is available (guess all the aditional roms would be required).

But wapvirus, can you imagine why your files do not work on my prophet? I got babak00000's newest WM6.5 release in german running, and when i use your files my phone always crashes (yes, even after half an hour of wait)...

Any idea?:-) Could you make a MEGA cab with all funtcionality of you newest manila 2D?

Thanks so much mate!!;-)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] wapvirus:
well is your ROM WWE as this version of Manila is WWE only i am not sure why you are having problems when others install the files and they work could just be an incompatibility with your ROM ,best way to get full potential from this Manila is to cook it into a ROM :)

I can't make an all in one cab file but i have posted all the OEM files so you can cook your own ROM ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] blackout_pt:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] goldeneyeonline:
Thanks for your answer wapvirus:-)

Hmmm i've tried the files with both, the WWE and the german roms of babak...

I guess i should try cooking my own rom, have not yet made anything like that, but as i'm even studying computer science, maybe its not gonna be too hard for me...
