hi, i like that Start menu Grid. I'm using HTC imagio and that Start menu is in my ship rom but when i flashed a customed rom, there isnt that start menu grid anymore. Hope someone can improve that :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pepesz:

I like that idea, in fact I was asking about it in HD2 section - but no luck :(

I also tried to modify the .crp but no luck either.

Would be really nice to have it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pepesz:
still no one ?...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] casklaverstijn:
I really hope a developer sees this. We see allot of start menu modifications like lists. But i havent seen this normal grid menu!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] milind_s16:
Also, some way to scroll horizontally

I was thinking of the same idea... and with the ability to scroll horizontally...this would exactly look like the iPhone...

If this can be worked out by some expert chef.... we won't need any application to give it a iPhone like feel.....

Also, i think the earlier ROM's had horizontally aligned programs.... so its not new... just that it needs to be implemented in newer ROMs.

I am very much interested in this .....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yongck7:
It will be good if it can catagorize the pages (with header). With that we choose to remove the sense to save ~30m of memory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andylayo:
Bump, anyone? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tboy2000:
Definately interested in this. What I think would be better is a sense version of the start menu to totally hide the win mo look. It should look just like the program screen when you tap on a quick link to choose an ap from the program screen. Cookie should feature a cookie start menu into cookies home tab 1.81 :)

How to edit *.uin and *.org files?

Thanks in Advance!
[Desire General] knowsbest:
Hi there!

I'm pretty much a newbie at Android(actually, I'm more like an upcoming newbie, cause I don't have any phones with Android yet).

In my case I am going to buy either the "Google Nexus One" or the "HTC Desire". I prefer the interface of the Desire, but I have tried my friends HTC Hero, and came to HATE the HTC Sense UI.

Therefore, I wonder if there is a simple way to get the original Android OS 2.1 onto the HTC Desire.

Yes, I've heard of Launcher2.apk(or whatever it's called), but that's not what I'm lookin' for. I want to simply replace the HTC Sense with Android OS 2.1, so that I can enjoy the hardware buttons and feel of Desire - and the simplicity and originality of Android OS 2.1. And if it's possible, then I want to have the stock version of Android OS 2.1 - NOT A MOD OF IT.

As long as there is no need for extracting files in Linux(I have both Windows and Mac) and no need for any coding or such things, then I'm capable of doing it. If you can, please post a rating of how simple it is(1 to 10, where one is dead simple).

Last thing - will the optical trackpad(or any of the hardware stuff) work with Android OS 2.1?

Thanks! :)
[Desire General] mrmomoman:
If you don't like the Sense UI then why not buy the N1 instead? It would be easier, carry warranty and so what you want it to do. The track ball over the optical mouse is not enough to warrant you bricking your phone to remove Sense UI from your device.

I happen to think that the Sense UI is what makes the Desire more Desirable than the N1. I know that I can get an N1 now and root it then place the Desire Sense UI on it but why?
[Desire General] knowsbest:
Yeah I see your point, and honestly I do agree with you - BUT - I think that the Desire looks so much better, and at the same time it has the buttons that aint touch capasative(I hate touch capasative buttons :mad: ).

Why I'm really asking this is that I am going to buy a phone that I can have for a long time(not like my iPhone 3G). Therefore I want to buy a phone that will not annoy me in any way.

But, if it's not worth taking the chance, then, damn it, I'll just have to go for the Nexus One.
[Desire General] watercool:
why do you hate Sense UI, because of the "look" or because of the HTC Apps (like Contacts, Photos etc..).

Deactivation of Sense UI is no problem at all, getting rid of the HTC Programs is a (big) problem and installing / finding the N1 counterparts is a problem too.

sry for my english
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Once the phone is rooted properly then it will be possible to install a N1 stock rom.

I'd say for now just buy a Desire and use the Launcher2.apk method and wait patiently. The launcher 2 method is pretty decent for now!
[Desire General] slaming:
look dude theres a whole thread on this and the reasons range from it not being avalible easily in my country and the FACT that the desire is cheaper
[Desire General] knowsbest:
yeah, same here, N1 aint available in my country yet... Still there is a way to get it(through JetCarrier), but it's a lot easier to buy the Desire.

But should it not be a way to install the system via the Android SDK?

Watercool: I just don't like anything about Sense. Not the apps, not the interface and not the widgets...
[Desire General] dual-booter:
I'm with you on this. In fact, for the Desire is my first-ever Android phone, I have actually not yet seen Android's native interface, because it's concealed under the Sense!

I agree with you in not liking the Sense interface too much. I saw a Youtube clip showing what must have been a pre-sale sample of the phone, running HTC Sense and stock Android at the same time (i.e. you could easily switch between the two). It's a shame HTC has removed this option from the final product. Speaking of the company, I've been using HTC phones since as long as, maybe, 2000/02, and I really don't get this company sometimes, for all respect I have for them. They make peculiar design/usability decisions sometimes, and more often than not, not to the benefit of their customers, i.e. people who are their "bread and butter."
[Desire General] knowsbest:
Congrats with the phone then! Just got my Nexus One too. Desided that it was worth to buy it, because of me getting the updates faster and a simpler and less bloated interface. Also sense has so many ugly sides(as your saying, when you talk about HTC'bad choices).

I am extremely satisfied with my phone, and will never be able to go back to my old iPhone 3GS. I'm actually writing with my Nexus right now!

But to be fair with both HTC and Google, I have to say that a little more from both worlds would be nice. For example is the widgets on Nexus One totally lame. I miss all the eidgets from my old HTC Tattoo, even though the phone itself sucked. Worst is: I can't buy any widgets from the market, since I'm in Norway... But again, I won't miss anything else from Sense. Stock Android mostly kicks it's ass!

Last thing that is a need for me, and that probably won't be fixed very soon, is bacground music control(as when you double click home button in iPhone, and get the previous/pause/next controles for the music app. If anyone know how to do that, please help me!!!!
[Desire General] speedking34:
You can easily switch back to the native android Homescreen on the Desire.

[Touch Cruise 2 General] Burning_aces:
Hey ive had audio working until i started installing a heap of applications, now I dont get any audio at all, not even startup audio

originally thought it was the SRS WOW HD but turns out it wasnt that as that is now removed and audio still isnt working. is there anyway i can get all the cab files for my applications and serials etc or fix this with out a hard reset?
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Frank C:
One tip I can give you......uninstall the applications (assume you kept the cab files on your PC) and install again one by one.....and see which one causes the trouble.....is some work but a safe route....:o
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Burning_aces:
alright

you on XDA irc?

and shall start doing apart from garmin

also is it safe to delete the registry key

from

with out causing errors?

(link broken up due to new user account thing)

Edit: also on startup there is an app called VoiceCommand located at /windows/VoiceCommand.exe that failes to start each time the phone boots and asks me to reinstall but im unsure what it was installed with..
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Frank C:
Hello,

No you can not delete these registry entries!!!

Apparently you installed 2 programs SRS WOW HD and Microsoft voice command. You can delete these programs via start/settings/system/remove programs.

And install again one by one.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. So mods have at it and move if needed. Would it be possible to have an app or code in a rom that'll animate the screen during use of the autorotate feature? Obviously I have no clue on how to code :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
This would be nice, the iPhone makes a nice animation when switching between landscape and portrait. I wouldn't necessarily suggest making one the same, but making any would be cool.

But PLEASE, do not fork the iPhone ;)

Basically as the title suggests........possibly being a bit dim, but would prefer confirmation that I am about to buy the correct/best model for UK use.

There are 2 sim free models, which do I need...?

The 2nd one appears to me to be "The One"

Can someone please confirm this for me.. I am buying today :D
[Nexus One General] peadarog:
Presumably you do *not* want to buy the cdma one... You should buy the one that is compatible with the t-mobile network if the UK is the country you're going to be using it in.
[Nexus One General] StewD:
Your post is appreciated...thanks
[Nexus One General] nDrg:
Choose the model that was first released, it works perfect on Orange and O2
[Nexus One General] hugonz:
And T-Mobile UK
[Nexus One General] coolbho3000:
If you plan on traveling to North America, the 850/1900 UMTS network here is bigger than the 1700/2100. If you plan on traveling to Asia and I think Australia, there are a few networks that use the 900 band.

It doesn't matter which GSM model you get if you are only counting UK networks.
[Nexus One General] StewD:
My query revolves around the google ordering site, both options appear pretty similar...

Initially I thought it was option 2 I needed but now it doesn't really matter, if I understand the replies above. I will mainly be UK based but will be in Europe occasionally.

3G is essential for obvious reasons.

1. Compatible with 3G on T-Mobile (U.S.)

Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (900/AWS/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

2. Compatible with 3G on AT&T (U.S.) and these wireless providers in Canada.

Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
[Nexus One General] JAW$:
Get the one that as originally released. I have one & am using it on O2 UK & work great. No issues.
[Nexus One General] StewD:
Argh.....this is my question ?? which one is that from the choice of 2 on the google site.
[Nexus One General] arimus:
I have seen you post in a couple of Forums and from what I have read they say get the T-MOBILE version, that is the BEST for T-MOBIL UK O2, that is the first one released,
[Nexus One General] StewD:
At last.........thanks for being clear and to the point. :D
[Nexus One General] Makaijin:
Although both versions will work perfectly fine in the UK (all UK carriers use the 2100 UTMS band for 3G), it really depends if you ever plan on using it abroad.

Europe, Asia, Africas and Oceania (everywhere else but Americas basically) you are better off getting the 900/AWS/2100 "US T-Mobile" version as most carriers use 900/2100 band around the world.

Americas (both North and South) you are better with the 850/1900/2100 "US AT&T" version as the majority use the 850/1900 band.

I myself have the 900/AWS/2100 version because most of my usage abroad are either in Europe (France/Italy) or in Asia (Hong Kong/China). You can check the frequency band usage yourself at Wikipedia so you can lookup your favourite carriers if needed.
[HD2 General] papeshfoo:
I know there is a thread for "noobs" on how to install, but I still dont understand it...lol. I guess I'm too noobish when it comes to this kind of stuff, but can someone explain it a little better, or point me to a easier explained way of doing it?

Also, I tried to DL the "anistasia" icon set via the .cab file from my phone and it wouldnt install because of some license conflict, is there something I did wrong? or something that I didnt do before DL'ing the .cab file?

Sorry for the noob questions, but since I've gotten this phone I have been wanting to change things, unlike other phones I've had. So I'm kinda new to this.

Thanks to all that can help. :D
[HD2 General] Funkyrocemz:
I dont think it can be explained any easier than that noob thread... Its as plain and simple as it gets... The only thing it doesnt have is a troubleshooting section, but there are plenty of troubleshooting posts throughout the thread...

My advice would be to learn what the "weird" words mean first (google, wikipedia, etc.) and then try reading it again..
[HD2 General] papeshfoo:
Thanks, I guess it's just trial and error huh? I just don't wanna end up with a brick.
[HD2 General] Funkyrocemz:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 8gkl:
So the problem is that after an issue I had with my phone, everything is resolved except the following. The power button serves to turn the phone on, but after that, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't turn the screen off and it doesn't bring the screen back up after it turns off. The only way that I can bring the phone back from standby mode (or whatever it's called, when the screen turns off) is by taking the stylus fully out, and putting it back in.

I don't know how to make the power button to work, but other than that, are there any other options that I have for turning the screen back on? It sucks having to take the stylus out just to make a phone call.
[HD2 General] rebecker:
This morning I ran into an odd problem; my email, browser and text messages open in the landscape view. Rotating the phone doesn't change it. The music player rotates and the compass still works, so I'm assuming the sensor is working. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[HD2 General] anrabi4:

[Nexus One General] Cynicism123:
Let me start off by saying I'm kind of a beginner regarding phone rooting/modding/anything. My last phone was a Nokia. So if you need any more information from me, just ask :)

I'm currently using Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 (with the kernel that comes with it), holding off on updating to 5.0.6 as I'm hearing about a whole lot of issues with it.

Since rooting and installing Cyanogen, my battery life is about 60% of what it was when I was using stock. The phone is slightly faster and has more memory available at a time (checked using advanced task killer), which is nice, but the battery is awful. I hardly ever saw the battery in the red-zone until I started using Cyanogen.

My battery lasted, with moderate use, about 24 hours+ pre-mod and around 12 hours post-mod. I won't start explaining what moderate use is to me, since the only comparison I'm making is to myself pre-mod, and I had the same amount of use back then.

Today I'm attempting to fully drain the battery and then fully charge it (plus delete the battery stats). In case that doesn't help things, my question is this:

If any of you are getting great battery life out of your Nexus Ones, which MOD/kernel combos are you using?

I'd also appreciate if someone could link me to a tutorial on how exactly I'd go about installing a different kernel (for instance if I have to wipe first, if I have to install a different kernel-less version of a mod later, etc.) As I said, I'm a beginner :rolleyes:

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
Right now:

CyanogenMod 5.0.6 and intersectRaven's 800mV Kernel

Great batterylife so far! Were using 5.0.5.3 with PsyQ's UC/OC non AVS Kernel and it was really impressive!

But it differs almost every week :P

My latest stuff is always here:

http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=1847694&vmid=39776#vmessage39776
[Nexus One General] nDrg:
Same here, except I use the 900mV kernel as I got reboots on the 800mV version.
[Nexus One General] Cynicism123:
Thanks man,

I noticed that your Android build is ERE54B. Mine's only ERE36B. Could that have anything to do with it?

Also, how much life are you getting out of your battery?
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
I dont think it matters..

Well, it always depends how much I use it.. mostly a full day with some internet, much twitter, some calls, some messages and some shots with the cam..

I get up to two days when i rarely use it
[Nexus One General] Cynicism123:
How do I go about installing a new kernel?
[Nexus One General] jongie123:
Fastboot and adb.
[Nexus One General] masse1369:
Typically the WiFi will break if you flash a new kernel.

So, this is what I do:

Put bcm4329.ko into whatever folder ADB is in and put zImage in whatever folder fastboot is in. Go into cmd. Type:

adb remount

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

adb reboot bootloader

Once rebooted type:

fastboot-windows flash zimage zImage

fastboot-windows reboot

Supposedly, you don't have to type windows, but I do for some reason on XP...

Hope that helped.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
- Enomther ROM

- IntersectRaven AVS kernel
[Nexus One General] Cynicism123:
Thanks everyone.

I did the drain/recharge thing and it doesn't seem to have worked.

Can I install a different kernel without wiping the phone? As in, if I already have a mod installed?
[Nexus One General] hah2110:
Kernels can be installed with no wipe most of the time. If you have trouble, you may need to wipe.
[Nexus One General] schahr01:
So far really good results with cm 506 and psyq_2.6.33-2.diet_kernel_AVS_850mv

[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
you do have to type 'fastboot-windows' bc that's what the file is named, if you got it from modaco, lol. just change the filename in the tools folder from 'fastboot-windows' to 'fastboot'. heck, you could change the name to 'bob', then your command would be 'bob flash zimage zImage'. which makes me laugh.

to address the kernel thing, i'm running intersectraven's most recent avs kernel, and enonthomer's 1.8.1 ROM. i find that i have been getting pretty good battery life. but, i don't use wifi unless i'm home, and then usually it's plugged into my pc charging. i also don't leave sync on, or background data, or any form of 'my location'. i just turn those on when i absosmurfly need them.
