[Nexus One General] carbonfiber1:
hey guys, ive had my nexus for a while, but i switched over from an iphone and on the iphone there was a plug in called sb settings which allowed you to swipe your finger across the status bar and a small control panel would drop down giving you options to dim your screen, turn wifi and other toggles on and off, and gave you your system info all without having to leave the current app you were on. i was wondering if there is such a thing for android, where you have a control panel in the notification drawer.?

looked like this on iphone
[Nexus One General] CodeMonkey:
A free app called 'Bar Control' will let you put shortcuts in the notification bar.

I use this with 'Switches', a paid toggling app, and a free app 'Wifi Status' (that warns you if you have wifi on but no connection to a network).

HTH
[Nexus One General] mjwatmough:
Quick Settings free on the market will also do this. Nice little program I use it every day.

I've searched on the forum but didn't find much mention about this keyboard.

Seems to work well for 32B/32A Cupcake but not too well for Donut.

The youtube video has links for either files. on my 1.6(donut) it is finicky. I'd have to tap on a text box a few times for the keyboard to stick, otherwise it disappears. Anyone know how to make it work properly?

Hello,

I am looking for an API call that will allow my application to select to use one of the following:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aziraphale_l:
Hello everyone,

OK, here is my first go at ROM cooking.

I was looking for a very basic ROM with only must-have applications inside, so that I can later install the software I *do* use. Eventually I gave up, as all the ROMs and even the Lite'est ones had too much features / utilities. I thought I would then take the latest official ROM available (for stability purpose) and trim it down to minimum elements (for size reduction).

Herewith is what I ended up with:

http://rapidshare.com/files/3829100....25.91_Signed_Ship_trimmed_by_aziraphale_.rar

This in no way can be called a "cooked" ROM, I still know nothing about cooking, but it is a heavily trimmed stock ROM, created by the use of RhodiumKitchen_0.1, found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=560519.

Thanks Dave for this Tutorial and all the credits go to respective tools' developers.

How to install:

- unrar

- connect with ActiveSync (or loader in USB mode)

(goes without saying Your device must be Hard-SPL'd or modified any other way to allow ROM flashing - search the forum)

- execute RomUpdateUtility.exe

There are some residual unnecessary and/or invalid shortcuts in the Start Menu,

as well as some empty folders, I manually removed them by the use of EveryWAN personal edition - it's free and it's easy to use.

The OS is 6.5 b21887

I have trimmed the following from the stock ROM:

HTC applications:

- appointment editor

- clear storage (can do Hard reset in normal way)

- facebook / engine

- format SD (can't a PC do that?)

- CoPilot + install path folder (I use TomTom)

- birthday

- bookmark

- messaging client (hate it)

- jblend

- jetcet

- manila all

- opera (when You install newer version You end up with 2 :( )

- sliding sounds

- social networks engine

- streaming media

- tv out

- youtube

- volume control

- google maps (same as with opera)

- setting improvement

- text selection

- wifi wizard

- browser snapshot

- ie6 enhancement

- world card mobile (BCR)

- rss hub

System:

- live search

- wm widgets

- win live

- welcome center

- transcriber

- skymarket

- one note

- remote desktop

- themes except Rock and Republic

- my phone (skybox)

- livesearch

I do not expect this to become very useful to most of the forum visitors/members, but perhaps there is someone out there who have not found his/her way around to make ROMs him(her)self yet, but would like to get the very basic ROM with no extras.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Very hard to define "must have" apps. I personally prefer WM6.1 over WM6.5. Bad thing is you can't install every app\functionality by using CAB's. Otherwise you could create a ROM of around 40MB. Mine is currently ~70MB and is just great for my personal use.

Might be handy to add to the first post that your ROM is actually a WM6.5 ROM ;)

Good luck on the cooking!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aziraphale_l:
You said it yourself - the "must-have" are the ones that can not be added by .cabs and will compromise phone functionality (like the HTC dialer skin will enable video calls, thus must stay)

the "2.07.401.1" implies 6.5, but added to description anyway, thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
Good effort dude I did much the same a month or so ago with an amalgamation of Ervius Visual Kitchen (so easy) and JoshKoss kitchen. Didn't go as savage on the removal of stuff though, main objective was to get rid of the HTC Messaging :)

Just tried May 1st 23xxx EnergyROM with MaxManila but it cuts off MP3 playback in standby (a big no-no for me) and hung once already while texting :( MaxManila is nice though, and the Facebook tab is good. I usually stick to 21xxx but I must say 23xxx is growing on me with the latest build. Gonna try Cell Pro next.

I like the latest stuff but keeping up with it all is a nightmare if you're cooking. Wouldn't mind the latest 2.5 Manila packages and latest 21xxx / 23xxx SYS, also would try cooking in MaxManila, and I never managed to cook in "mark all as read" for emails properly. Need to learn how to hack on Manila. Also I forgot to cook in a task manager haha :) Ameba is quite nice on the latest EnergyROM. I definitely get the "why cook it in if you can get it from Marketplace / OMarket and auto update it" though, totally with you on that one instead of flashing a new ROM every week. I usually flash a new one every month or so, once I find one I like. But for the last month or so I've been running my own. It wasn't the fastest ROM ever though :(

It's a lot of work to make a decent ROM, and it's finding the time innit. I'm a big fan of JoshKoss but he hasn't released anything in a while :(

Anyway good effort dude the more the merrier I say :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
Also just a quick note I did get the Standby Of Death a couple of times on my cooked ROM. Very rare but still. No idea why. Don't know if it happens with the stock ROM or not.

Would like to know how to totally remove HTC messaging, sometimes when texting via Manila it would still give the conversation view which runs like a dog when you have 4,800 messages hehe ;)

And the speakerphone sometimes screwed up - I could hear the other party but they couldn't hear me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aziraphale_l:
Before going through the trouble of surgically removing the rudimentary software myself, I have tried a few "professionally" (read: respect, not sarcasm) cooked Energy and Leo ROMs, most of them VERY recent, but I found them SOOO packed with tweaks and features, that it would take me ages just to discover all the extras. I am more on the simplier side, don't fix something which is not broken, but I just HATE Manila (expect a lot of angry protestors here) and I am not big fan of HTC customisations either. Hence was this ROM done and I am so far rather happy with it.

There is no sign of HTC messaging which I can find, and I can install and use only necessary (for me) bits of software.

For "mark all as read" there is a really good .cab on the forum, called "safeboxextender", it works like a charm and I don't mind having to install it separately (i.e. not. cooked-in).

Having come from 1.86 ROM to 2.07 I do notice that device keeps hanging even without being put to sleep, but I can not figure out the dependency yet (I mean so far it looks rather random).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
Yeah me too, those guys have spent probably 100's if not 1000's of hours on learning this stuff, then putting it together in a manner that pleases a lot of different people. Major kudos. I sometimes get the feeling though particularly with chefs who release almost every day, for a number of different devices, that the care and testing leaves something to be desired. Quite often more does not = better as you know :)

Yeah fair enough mate although I am a big fan of Manila 2.5 and MaxManila is quite nice :)

Yeah I tried converting that to an EXT and cooking it in but it didn't work :( I know it can be done though cos a lot of ROMs have it built in. To be honest I don't really have enough time anymore to dedicate to my own ROM so I'm trying out a few others.

It's weird ... Mine's never hung while running but I've had the SOD two or three times. More research required, until then just stick the pen up it's arse haha :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thesecondsfade:
Could you release an additional version with a later build SYS (ie: 23XXX or 28XXX)? A lot of people use 6.5.5 or 6.5.3 and there are no Lite options for those later builds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aziraphale_l:
i'd love to, but....

as i said i am no cook and i only did it for myself and cared enough to share with anyone who'd love to have it "as is".

also, see the respective later-release ROM threads to see how many bugs are there still and ROM-cooking gurus are eliminating them one by one and it's a long and painstaking process. i have neither time, nor ability to do that.

so i guess this is as much as i can do so far. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jamespaulritter:
I've been using the ROM for a few days now and it is great. Everything works perfect. Bluetooth, tethering, wifi, data connections; it all works great with no bugs :) Thanks for sharring. I love a clean ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aziraphale_l:
very good!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jamespaulritter:
Well I think I have ran the gamet of tezts and this ROM is perfect. It is fast and stable trimmed down well but still offering everything a user needs. I am on AT&T in the states and it works perfect. The only thing I cant figure out is how do I shut of the vibration when using the on screen key board? And can I add a picture mail program to my device? Would it function properly and could you recommend one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aziraphale_l:
that would be by manually editing registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\TFLOSettings]

"ApVibrationOn"=dword:00000000

it is 1 by default, change it to 0 and you are all set

this here i am not sure what you mean?

whatever you add (install) SHOULD function properly, if it would have on a stock ROM,

as i have not made any changes to remaining ROM bits

edit: if you open Albums and select any picture You want, it will open in full screen, tap it, and 4 icon menu comes up, 3rd from the left with 2 arrows > tap this one and there is an option *mail*.

select the account (i would use email) and voila! is that what you were looking for?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jamespaulritter:
Thanks Aziraphale_l I was talking about MMS. I want to send and receive picture mail with text messaging. Right now I cant send or recieve pictures except with email. But of course my friends do not have pda phones so we use MMS picture mail.

I was guessing this is what you said you removed. I looked for arcsoft for 6.5 and I see that HTC is now using "HTC Message" so I will go look for that. Thanks again.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aziraphale_l:
HTC messaging, which I understand handles MMS functionality in our devices, has evolved into... well, something I did not like any more, so it had to go.

I personally don't use MMS, so it is no big deal for me.

Your ArcSoft link below - I see no reason why it will not work, give it a try? You can then share Your findings with the rest of us.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jamespaulritter:
P.S. Battery life on this ROM is the best I have ever seen!

I have tried a dozen ROMs and I usually stick with them for a month or so I guess. They are either lite with bugs or heavy with eye candy and bugs. So far I haven't had a single issue with yours. I think many developers get in to much of a hurry. I appreciate the great job you did on this.

I notice today that to get from one task to another, one program to another or one event to another I use fewer steps because everything is simple and functional. Thanks again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MadBeef:
I cooked in Arcsoft_MMS_5_2_8_45 on mine, after pulling out HTC Messaging, if I remember rightly it worked but it's very rare I use MMS anyway. If you install it afterwards, re-run carrier provisioning (or whatever it's called ... where it sets up your network settings automatically) and it should configure Arcsoft for ya.

Right now I'm running EnergyROM 23xxx from 1st of May but battery is suffering and it crashes a bit, not mega fast either. It is a nice flashy ROM tho :) I used to hate 23xxx and much prefer 21xxx but lately I'm kinda undecided.

Hi,

I'm just wondering if there's any reg hack available for the facebook app? The scrolling is kinda slow and unresponsive. I'm just wondering if one could tweak the reg to speed this up similar to the Opera reg hack (which is great btw)?

Thanks! :rolleyes:

[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
I know this doesn't help but I've had the same problem and I can't find a fix anywhere, it's something to do with the Goldcard.
[HD2 General] flypp:
I found that the some GPS tool will not actually close GPS when it was terminated (Google maps seems OK), even when the phone was switched to fly mode. Battery was drained very quickly in this situation. Is there any too can check current status of GPS and also manage it?
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
How did you found out ?
[HD2 General] flypp:
Normally, I'll put phone to fly mode during night and it will consume about 5% power. But if I used GPS in that day, the power consumption would be ~20%.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I can't provide much more details, but I'd rather tell you to look elsewhere for the solution to that huge battery drain, as from what I know it's very unlikely to be gps's fault.

The gps is turned off by the device whenever you put the hd2 to sleep with the power button, in fact every app that uses it also loses the location (see navicomputer, nonigpsplot, and tomtom) when you turn off the display.

So, even if the app "forgot" to turn off the gps, it would be turned off when you press power button.
[HD2 General] cybermaus:
Just to make sure, have you checked with a task manager if the gps is really closed? Some apps (GPS or otherwise) dont really close when you close them, they merely move to the background.

The suggestion GPS is always closed when you sleep the device is not correct, some apps prevent real sleep, exactly to prevent loss of fix.
[HD2 General] flypp:
I'm sure that all GPS related software was closed. The answer from HTC customer support was to remove the buggy GPS software.
[Touch HD General] mihir880:
recently i am having some problem with the call , many time the caller is not able to hear me . also many times the phones disconnects while talking the network show 2 or 3 bar at that time also , this problem was not there earlier ,

also many times the phone restarts ....on its own ... i check with some guys they told me.. need to change the CPU .. is it true need to do that ... ??

[Desire Themes and Apps] ivicask:
So after having phone for 10 days now i find that it likes to unlock him self in my pocket, and if i go near my pocket with my fingers, or if its faced down so it touches my body, screen reacts , unlocks and does stupid stuff on phone.

My question now is: Is it possible to make some applicaiton, that would disable unlock on hard Menu button, and any on screen unlock patterns, but just phone can be unlocked by pressing optical trackball down(which is nearly impossible to press in pocket because of its nice positioning)

And please dont suggest me unlock patterns or pins, because i just dont like them.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MateCZE:
I agree, i experience the same problems,

and I would suggest to this idea, that if it would be possible to implement ability remapping of the on/off key ( at least the time needed to push the key ) to turn screen on. because i experience turning the phone on in my pocket by selfpushing the on-off.

and to be honest, i like to use the screen with my fingers, not using the optical trackball at all an sometimes when i scroll with fingers, it interferes when my finger slips, or rests.

so my suggestion. to increase the time needed to push the on/off button to make screen active if possible

to make the optical trackball push make unlock the screen.

and an ability to disable optical trackball scroling ( not pushing, just disabled scrolling )
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phil750123:
I had same problem , way i got around it,

put a lock pattern on your screen, but also add a widget to set the lock pattern on/off, that way when your going out with the phone in your pocket you set the lock to on and it wont do anything. when your at home,turn it off to get easy access.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MateCZE:
Yeah, that works, but is not smooth.

hate the lock pattern.

the ideal case would be by on home page to disable on off button and.

with long push optical trackball to lock/unlock screen.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cez10:
i dont understand how does it happen for you guys, do you never use power button to put it on sleep? i had this phone for pretty much a month now and it hever happened to me even when was wearin fairly tight jeans.

btw try lockpro app from the market it is paid though unfortunately
[Desire Themes and Apps] villiankknd:
+1, never happened to me too, i guess you guys set the screen to not turn off? lol.....

even if the phone is ringing, i can still take it out of my pocket without it being answered....well i must say it's in a pouch too....maybe thats a solution to your problem....
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phil750123:
I think it depends on how tight your trousers are maybe? if the button is pressed, and you pull it out the slider slides down??

Just a guess
[Desire Themes and Apps] OnlinePredator:
Lol yea and if your pocket is actually your underpants, since my phone won't react to any touch with fabric between my skin and the screen.

My suggestion is that you grow some hair on your legs (or stop shaving), then you will have no problems.

And yea I have never had this problem in the 2 weeks or so of ownership. Although I do put them in my pocket where it is surrounded by a layer of cotton being the lining of the pocket, so that it is impossible for my skin to touch the screen. Not sure how your pockets work?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jasand:
Use the unlock pattern.

Menu/settings/security/

this way it cannot unlock itself unless you draw the pattern, plus it helps if anyone picks up your desire wthout you knowing.

P.s I have never had an issue with the screen unlocking in my pocket, holder or anything else.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ivicask:
As i wrote on end of my strating post. I DO NOT LIKE unlock patterns. It doesnt prevent phone to turn on, and + its damn ugly.

To repeat ones more. I would like a way to disable screen ON using main power button, and set it so it only turns on by optical trackball click(not unlock directly, just to turn ON screen).

I'm using nice leather case for phone, but lots of times i push it in i turn on the screen. + with other in pocket random stuff which i explained..
[Desire Themes and Apps] safsephiroth666:
Well it happens to me sometimes. If I press the lock button and then slide the phone up from my pocket while the screen is turned towards my leg, it unlocks.

The desire touch screen actually works trough thin fabric (like the one they make pants pockets from). Try putting your shirt between your finger and the screen. You'll see it'll work.
[Desire Themes and Apps] landwomble:
unlock bug?

plus isn't there still a bug in 2.1 where if you put the unlock pattern in wrong 5 times you can't unlock your phone and it doesn't accept your google account password?
[Desire Themes and Apps] stingerpl:
It is not possible. There was a big thread about this in the HTC Hero section. It needs the source code to be modified.
