For anyone who's interested I have here the images I use for the internet short cut. Just copy the folder from your phone into your desktop computer, open up those images in a photo editor... even paint will work.. copy the pictures I've included right over top of the coresponding images then copy the folder back.

Note the random number labels likely wont match what yours are, hense having to open it in something like paint and past it over whatever your corresponding images are.

I'd recommend doing a back up of the folder by the way just in case you screw something up.

Included are shortcuts pictures for engadget, xdadevelopers, wwtdd, google, and wiki.

How to make an internet shortcut icon for your quicklinks?

So, it was confusing for me but I am finally able to change the icon image. If you are a noob like me, things can get pretty frustrating at times. With that said, I just wanted to give step-by-step instructions for those people like me having a hard time and spending countless time searching for a straightup answer. I also like to thank those for their help. I don't take credit for this at all and give credit to those that figured it out. I use Opera as my default browser so...

1. Make a bookmark in Opera

2. Use total commander and check windows\thumbnails to see if an image was created

3. If so proceed to step 6

4. If not, open up the bookmark in PIE. Once bookmark opens then close down PIE.

5. Go to windows\thumbnails and you will see that an image file has been created for you

6. Use total commander and copy file to any folder or place on storage card.

7. Synchronize with ActiveSync and copy file to desktop

8. Open image using a image editor (I use Paint) then copy and paste new image on top of old one. Make sure image sizing is correct (512x512)

9. Save (make sure you do not change the file name) and replace existing image in windows\thumbnails

10. You may need to refresh your home start page if the image does not show up for you. For me, I restarted Sense since I have a Restart Sense quicklink.

Hi. I'm wondering if desire can work as a USB host like droid does? I cannot post links, but I think you know what I'm talking about. Would be nice to use a real keyboard with it..
[Desire General] flatfour:
I can't add anything useful so this is a shameless bump I'm afraid!

As far as I know though, USB Host is a software or firmware capability, and that for a few years USB hardware has been capable of both (cheaper to make one chip than two).

Would be fantastic to copy images etc off to a portable hard disk.
[Desire General] alex101uk:
Actually im pretty sure it's different chip. For example, the HTC G1 was possibly the most hevily modified phone in history and they never got usb host on it. The different chipset is called USB OTG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go Ive spent ages looking for datasheets to find out if we have a compatable chipset but could never find any.

oups, jumped the gun, this is not what it was about, I have no idea if the Desire can do that, I'd be interested if it could though
[Desire General] paraipanakos:
I think it´s posible...

Don give up yet ppl, our desire it´s perfectly capable usb-otg device. They omitted this feature because of deadlines, desire hd and z have it and htc plans on marketing an dlna adapter in q4 for them.

Notice desire (bravo) capabilities before reaching the market : http://gdgt.com/htc/desire/specs/

and after http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2251&c=htc_desire_htc_bravo . Knowing that I´m searching the web for hacks to enable usb-otg on mi bravo like the guy that did it on his droid. cheers

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702742 - USB Host mode for Desire

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694427 -Nexus One USB host driver

Hardware on Desire(Bravo) and Nexus One(Passion) are nearly identical to each other internally.

From what I remember of the Nexus One thread (I owed a N1 before my Desire) you need a special cable (in order to provide power to the secondary device) and special drivers (to provide the host side) but it is possible.

edit: and I forgot, you need to flash the kernel, to use USB host mode, Flash back to use USB slave mode.
[Android Software Development] mj2332:
Aloha folks,

I'd like to ask a question about a method that an Italian user of Androidiani.com thought in the past few days for free the bootloader of Motorola's Milestone.

As somebody of you probably know, the bl of this device is encrypted with a RSA-2048 key; this user came with a method which involves the use of about a hundred PCs connected together with a cloud computing program such as BOINC.

Of course we also need an algorithm for decrypting those files.

Is that a possible solution and if so are there any volunteers? On that site lots of people already agreed with this idea so we already have some PCs to play with.

Hi

Wherever I have a programme that does not use its own formatted drop down boxes and therefore defaults to the windows mobile white background black writing plain layout I have a lot of trouble getting the screen to react and drop the boxes or make selections, a prime example is if I try to use winmo built in screen tap alignment feature, its a real job to make it accept the taps on the screen. If a programme has formatted boxes there is never any problem Is there a way to make using screen taps better when not running a prog that overrides the plain layout. Thx in advance.

How come HTC doesn't get it? Is there a way to stop rejected calls from showing up as missed calls? In every single phone I've had, rejected calls were in received list, and there was no notifications regarding them (LEDs, popups...)
[HD2 General] d4v0r:
50 views and no reply... I guess it's not possible.
[HD2 General] amb9800:
Yeah it's pretty annoying, because rejecting a call becomes a multi-step process of rejecting it and then tapping over to notifications, then dismissing the missed call notification...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kuailan:
I really love the GTX theme, however I also noticed it's kinda hard to find a suitable nice background/wallpaper without sacrificing readibility. I thought of starting a thread where people can share some NEW (other than default or the one that comes with the ROM like Energy) wallpaper. Really appreciate those who can share some NICE or different looking Wallpaper for the GTX theme.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Using DC v2.06. I have a clear lockscreen, as shown below. Right now the notifications come up transparent (missed call, etc) at the bottom of the screen. With the clear lock, it's very heard to read the text. Hence why I added the extra black bar at the bottom of the phone, to make them readable.

However, that bar is ugly at the bottom! Is it possible for someone to figure out a way, through the xml file, to add a black shadow to the white notification text, so that it will still be readable with a clear lockscreen? See the default date/time text on the default lockscreen for an example of what I'm after.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
You mean like this :D.

When no notifications:

Missed call:

Press while screen locked:

I applied a black background, 50% transparent, that will only appear when a notification message exists.

Replace the attached in your 'layout' folder and you are good to go (removed the .txt extension).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
YOU STOLE THAT FROM ME!!! hahaha Good work!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Did you do that? I honestly didn't know! Credit to VinceOB for doing it first!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
hahaha Actually, in that particular .xml I made everything transparent. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Wouldn't have wasted my time looking into if I knew you put it out there! Nice job :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Everything transparent is basically the completely clear lockscreen, the above adds the shadow for when notifications appear, so that the text is more readable.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Yea I know, I didnt do the shadow part. :p I was pulling a you know who...hahaaha
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Lol :D. 10chars
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
That deodex didnt go so well...LOL Ive decided to move on to some .xml's... LOL
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Still want me to send you a link? As mentioned, it should only be necessary to get a booting ROM, to do your work, then convert back. Let me know.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
yea send it...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Awesome. Thank you so very much! I'll have to try this in the morning.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
I seem to be having a problem that I didn't notice before using this...

When my alarm goes off, I can't disable it from the lockscreen. I have to unlock my phone before I can shut off the alarm.

JsChiSurf, could you let me know if you have the same issue? I'm not saying 100% sure that this is what caused it, but it's the only change I've made recently.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] seyer0686:
How are you guys editing the .xml files?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
Good question, the files are in some odd format that I do not know how to work with.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The XML files are compiled binaries. You have to use a hexeditor to modify / patch the locations in the binary you wish to change.

[HD2 General] lilbenji25@hotmail.com:
Hey everyone.

iv been scouring the web for the answer for this and it doesnt seem to be a problem anywhere else or for anyone else!

basically, if i press the play/pause/answer call button on the supplied headphones remote control windows media player automatically starts, even if i already have nitrogen or any other media player running. is there any other way of stopping this? or getting rid of WMP all together? or failing either of those, changing the default button auto start application to, say, nitrogen?

have looked for reg fixes/app/tweaks anything and still no go.

anyone know anything that will help/stop this behaviour?

Thanks in advance.

why would you concider it that?
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
So many of the "kiddies" today simply don't understand the meaning of stealing, or theft.

(shaking head)
[HD2 General] denco7:
Because it is included with the price of that phone and licensed to that phone only . If you buy a PC with Windows 7 pre installed, it is stealing to to take the boot disks if they are included, and install Win 7 on another machine.

Same here !
[HD2 General] cscoot03:
Transformer Location...

The Micro card has both Transformer Movies on it & there are

"core programs" on it as well which are needed to make the HD2 work properly, so if you take out the card some programs will not work which is why we are told not to take the card out. Depending upon your expertice you will know what you can do with the card & what (& if needed or want) you can do regarding the card.

Good movies I enjoyed them both.
[HD2 General] xxkennynycxx:
I looked at it as in came in the phone, just like 6.5 did and people where putting it on their phones before it was supposed to. Part of a phone.
[HD2 General] chaoscentral:
it came with the TMOUS phones, and they are "liscensed" only for those phones, hence posting would be considered illegal.
[HD2 General] Toss3:
Please post the encoding settings once you've analyzed it. :) Have done a plethora of different encodes, but still haven't found the optimal values.
[HD2 General] xxkennynycxx:
Thanks for your response :cool:
[HD2 General] cscoot03:
Not to double post but core programs & the movie's on the card are part of the phone OS therefore removing would be classified as illegal. I learned this from a TMO Tech a few nights ago in my search to understand properly, including the small sizes of towers & their locations & where they can go & the waiting time of 40 days before TMO will unl..k your phone for you. (Including the negativity of UMA:( ).
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:

[HD2 General] kilrah:
If this is warez, then so are ROMs and all the HTC programs that are freely distributed here.Those too are also licensed for the particular phone they were on, yet they are cabbed and distributed everyday.

[HD2 General] Toss3:

[HD2 General] xeebot:
Here you go, I ran both movies through mediainfo 0.7.31:

Transformers 1

Transformers 2
[HD2 General] Toss3:
Thanks! Those settings seem awfully low considering I just did a 2 pass encode with the profile set to HIGH, Level 3, Cabac On, 1 Ref Frame(no weighted B-Frames) and 5000 kbps(max bitrate was 22Mbps). :) Also found out that the HD2 can handle 2 ref frames with the baseline profile.(the first encode stuttered a bit)

I also tried doing an encode with the "Video Encoding GUI" and the quality was just awful. You could also get much better quality with the same size using constant quality encoding(I usually do this first to figure out the bitrate I need to use for the 2 pass encode). Constant quality also takes a lot less time. Never use 750 kbps - it looks horrible!

Minimum bitrate I'd recommend using is 2000kbps. 3500 is ideal(for most movies and documentries).
[HD2 General] xeebot:
Toss3, what program are you using to encode?

The Transformers movies that came with the unit look brilliant, I don't know how much better they can get. I have 1080p versions of both movies and would like to encode with your settings to see if they get any better.
[HD2 General] Toss3:
Currently using MeGui(easy to use and updates automatically)I'm currently trying to figure out the best settings without stuttering. :) Did a CRF vs 2 Pass encode comparison and they looked exactly the same, so HD video encoder is unnecessarily slow(think it does 2 pass). A CRF value of 18 would be ideal, but it produced a maximum bitrate of 19Mbps so it stuttered in some scenes(think my slow microSD might cause some of it though).

Gonna give it a go with --crf 21 now with 2 ref frames. :) I'm guessing it's gonna end up pretty close to the Transformers encode.

EDIT: Ended up being a bit better. No stutters at all and the size ended up under 1Gb at just 858mb(40min). :)

Hi,

try to re-install SPB-MS. The first question is "uninstall?". If the uninstall works you can cancel the install. If not I would do a new install and try to uninstall after that.

Go to \windows\AppMgr and delete everything that has to do with SPB. Then go to Programfiles and look for a folder of SPB and also delete that. Go to windows\startup and delelte all entries pointing to SPN. Soft reset, and it should work.
