Please someone tell me I'm not being incredibly dense and that I actually have a valid problem that hasn't been addressed elsewhere on the forums. I assure you I have searched for a solution to this but can find nothing pertaining to the desire... I did find other posts but they have all been for the Droids (like pulldown editor)

As a new user I can't post links but to see the screenshots of what I'm about to talk about but please see the attachments at the bottom for an idea.

I really don't want my phone to say Virgin all over it...I just want a generic 'I'm Awesome' message or alternatively nothing. 'Virgin' takes up lots of room on the notification bar that would be better spent notifying me of things...!?

I tried to resolve the problem using MetaMorph...which required root access...and despite Paul (thanks coming shortly) saying we wouldn't be able to write to the /system folder, I just hoped (blindly (and foolishly)) that it would work. But it didn't.

Now I have a rooted HTC Desire that works in every respect but I still can't get rid of those Carrier titles...and thats the only thing I want to do. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions...is it blatantly obvious?

I've pulled my /system folder over but I don't even know what I'm looking at... :confused: If anyone can give me a heads up, that'd be great.

Cheers

M

I must note here a massive thanks to Paul who's root instructions were amazingly easy to follow. I know this is the wrong place for it but a massive thanks to him.

I've got Htc Hd2 for about 5 months and I can't find a solution anywhere for my problem..Hours ago i've watched some pics with htc sense and suddenly the phone freezed.. I've restarted the phone 5-6 times or so and it's still freezed and with no htc sense..and there is a message in the upper part of the screen "Tap here to lunch HTC Sense" and of course i've taped on the whole screen a million times but there is no reaction.. i've read somewhere in this forum that I can enable and disable htc sense by tapping Start->Settings-> etc... but when i click Settings it opens a message "The file 'htcSettingEntry' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." I have no idea what to do .. please help ! At last sorry for my english i'm from Bulgaria..

Hi guys I flashed my phone and all went well. I put back telenav, mobi tv without any problems and was able to create the icons like when it was bought. The problem I am having is the blockbuster cab installs and i see it in the program files but when i go to try and add it as a icon i cannot see it in the program files then...any help please?
[P3400 General] anand_d:
This started a few days back, when it was intermittent.

The display would suddenly turn into 256 color (I think); very patchy colors. And then it would get back to normal after a reset.

Now, its is permanently in that state.

I have not installed any software letely that could be causing this.

Incidentally, this happens right after switch on after a reset, even before the OS boots in.

Any idea what it could be, and a possible cure?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

I am having issues with building from cyanogen's github. I have never had a problem with building for my N1 from source. I am currently trying to build for my G1. These are the basic steps I am doing, repo init -u git://github.com/cyanogen/android.git -b eclair-ds and then repo sync, then . build/envsetup.sh, then make -j3 adb, lunch cyanogen_dream_sapphire-en, then cd into vendor/htc/dream_sapphire and ./extract-files.sh, then i go to do make -j3 and it stops because of no proprietary drivers, so I went and took a look inside the proprietary folder and found out what I was missing was Fw1251r1c.bin, and libGLES_qcom.so and have been trying to figure it out for many hour's. I am guessing it has to do with my g1 running a 1.6rom and trying to build from cyanogens source a 2.1 rom or I am missing something altogether . Any help is appreciated :D

Does this version have flash?
[Android Software Development] jasnmb:
it's not actually flash, but i think it includes has some sort of workaround to play flash videos in full screen.
[Android Software Development] frankie13:
can you get timeform radio on it that needs flashplayer
[Android Software Development] ukon:
It does just have a video codec to play FLV files I think.

Just tried it..just another browser :), useless without flash 10.....
[Android Software Development] jasnmb:
I disagree. are there any other browsers that can play flash video? Sure, it can't play everything that flash 10 can, but at least I can now watch a video on ESPN or CNN if I want.
[Android Software Development] frankie13:
most annoying no flash :eek: is there any other way to play wma 32kbs stations
[Android Software Development] tnpapadakos:
exactly...the flash content doesnt just automatically play in the webpage you load, it just pops up in a little player and gives you the option of playing it....

seems like this was a good idea at some point, but i'm not sure when:cool:
[Android Software Development] xanaviarai:
They are cashing in before Flash comes to Android with a real plugin :cool:
[Android Software Development] HunteronX:
This isn't true - skyfire has been available on windows mobile and symbian for many years now, even with flash lite/flash players around. And its free.

Also, skyfire should eventually be compatible with other proprietary plugins like silverlight etc. later on. ( I don't know exactly how they do it though...)
[Android Software Development] poldie:
Also it'll be handy for people who have phones which support skyfire but which won't be upgradeable to Android 2.2.

[Desire Themes and Apps] tomtom3d:
Hello,

I like a lot Sense on the desire, but i also like the nexus one menu style. I know it's possible to have a nexus style, with a launcher, but then, we lose all the sense widgets. Do somebody know if it's possible to manage, both the sense interface (the widget), and the nexus menu style. At the moment, I only have, on one side, the sense interface, and on the other, the nexus style. I would like to "mix" the two.

Is this possible?

Thank's

Thomas
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
That is my ideal menu too but not sure yet. Hopefully now the Desire is rooted someone will have a solution!

I love Sense widgets but hate the bottom bar. I like Helix launcher though so i can have the four icons on bottom bar. I'd like to have Sense widgets on Helix lol.
[Desire Themes and Apps] tomtom3d:
yes, it would be great, we just have to wait until someone finds a solution...
[Desire Themes and Apps] brummiesteven:
The only solution you will ever get is some sort of skinned version of sense where the bottom bar is skinned to look like stock android.

Skyfire is the ****! Full flash support on my old wm phone with skyfire. Im sure it will have full flash support just like the wm version. Cant wait to test this out.

Edit: It does support flash

Supports Flash web video with patent-pending adaptive streaming technology for smooth playback

Pinch to zoom (on Android 2.0 and above)

Multi-tab browsing - open up to eight windows and browse simultaneously using visual tabs

Choose to load full desktop webpages or mobile optimized versions

Clear session history easily upon exit to maintain anonymous browsing
[Nexus One General] y2whisper:
well it kinda does, according to the video the new skybar feature allows you to view vids on a great number of sites, the one they mentioned in the vid was espn.com.

Still very promising and looks great! Hope their download server will be able to handle everyong trying to grab the file at once as word is spreading about the page being up.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
It supports Flash video, as they seem to wont say "Flash" without saying "video" after it. I'm hoping though I'm not just thinking too critically, full blown Flash would be nice.

****ty browser.. only does video transcoding for flash video

hope for FroYo, full flash that support also "interactive video"
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
It's back on the Market as well. :)
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Sadly, I agree. Froyo will have true Flash. 10.1, just in case you don't know. Skyfire is no better than the Desire browser with Flash Lite (which supports lots of Flash content that Flash 10.1 does). Bleh, Skyfire is nothing too fancy at all. The multi-touch is pathetic as well :/

I know, I sounded harsh.. I just have been using Skyfire on my mom's HD2, I did not expect the real "Flash" in this browser, but for some reason I thought they had a method maybe to recreate what Flash is. Not simply provide to us a browser that is really just a Flash video viewer. This is why having high expectations for certain things is never too good.. but this isn't Windows Mobile, obviously there was going to be major differences..

It does the job really well for what it is, I love it?
[Nexus One General] tokyomonster:
As opposed to the other browsers currently available that do have full flash?

At the moment, this is the best we can get, and you have to give them credit for trying.

I know you spent tons of money on the application, so you're entitled to complain, but it's really not that bad, imo.
[Nexus One General] sylar91:
to download just go to ht*p://m.skyfire.com with your phone browser...
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
I know, right? It cost like fifty bucks! God, what a scam.

Oh wait. Some of you people are entitled brats.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
So people have no right to complain if they did not purchase what they are complaining about? Or is it simply the fact that something positive should be said first, then people are allowed to say the negative? Could it also be because developers worked hard on the browser (at least I assume), and people aren't exactly appreciative as they should be?

I don't usually use the excuse "freedom of speech" as it sounds corny and odd at certain times, but people have the rIght to complain, voice their opinions, and of course disagree with others. I don't believe this makes said people, as you put it, entitled brats. Calling it a ****y browser was out there though.

Freedom of speech doesn't go here blah.. I was put in my place on the next page lol
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Not full Flash, BLAH!!!

[Nexus One General] Talderon:
Wow, only visited a couple sites and already eating up almost 10mb in cache storage on my phone. :(
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Freedom of speech means people can call other people out when they're being ridiculous, kid. People on the internet (e.g. you) cite "freedom of speech" meaninglessly (do you even realize that it only applies to Amurrikwan grounds in your sense of the concept?), and usually use it to mean "I get to say what I want, but you should shut up." Ugh, USian education.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Really? I thought one of the great things about the cloud processing data on the backend was that it was supposed to use a lot less data. That's what Opera always touts about Mini...
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Dang it, I knew I should've searched Google before stating random incorrect things to try and make valid points. I assume though you got my point, while it was incorrect.. I didn't think it was needed to call someone a (dont feel like looking for It again) for stating a harsh opinion on the browser, while you may be correct, I felt as the post was also directed at me because I also complained. If only though I didn't make myself look stupid with incorrect information, that irritates me.. why haven't I been taught this stuff yet :/

Not knowing things like that isn't fun, though I am only 14 I want that kind of knowledge to call people out when stating idiotic things such as I did. Whatever though, I guess.

Yeah, I just cleared it and went to Vevo which they link from the landing page and this is a screen shot of what it is using:
[Nexus One General] :
Delicious irony is delicious.
[Nexus One General] tokyomonster:
People can complain all they want, that's fine. But there's no incentive for a developer to listen to complaints and to work on them if the feed back they're getting is "lol **** sucks yo"

Also, keep in mind that Skyfire is working around limits of the current version of Android, and not just half assing things because they feel like it. I'm sure if they could have included full Flash, they would have loved to. Instead, they did the best with what they have. Is it a perfect browser? No. But just saying "man dis ****y it doesn't have full flash", helps no one. Not to mention that the browser was never advertised as having full flash, so I don't understand why people are surprised.

Just my 2 cents. (also, this wasn't targeted at you, Eclair~)
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
No cache/history clear ?

No way to exit.

Just wondering if anyone sees those..I dont.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I believe people thought it had flash, because of its Windows Mobile counterpart.. I am going to assume a few people are going to be misleaded. It became obvious it wasn't, or couldn't, have Flash after a while. I thought there was a way though :l
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
espn videos dont work.
[Nexus One General] jimbobalu:
Is there a way to hide that we are using a mobile browser. I assume this is why video is not playing from hulu and other sites. Correct me if I am wrong.

I get the error "Unfortunately, this video is not available on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience".

So I wonder, even if we get full Flash, will sites like Hulu that restrict what players can be used work on mobile devices?
[Nexus One General] y2whisper:
works for me.

however note that it can take some time, especially when multiple videos are on the page. (was mentioned in the video on their site)

Press and hold the back button gives you the ability to exit and to clear session history

to clear data go settings (in the top toolbar)/Privacy & Security and then you can clear it manually or have it clear on exit.

Overall my first impressions

- Video is a start and a good one. (im in Canada so hulu isn't available for me anyways)

- Browesr looks good love the viewing options in the toolbar (view in desktop, iphone, android mode)

-Like the fact that it integrates my bookmarks.

pinch to zoom is a bit weird since it tries to fit the text automatically (something our stock browser doesn't do)

- I would gripe about the flash thing but that intro video lowered my expectations to what it was going to be before i downloaded it so I wasn't disappointed.

Really good for a beta version.

Using my AT&T Nexus One Skyfire is pretty good. Most flash videos still do not work for me, however the rendering is very quick and quite good. I do like the ability to choose between the desktop version and the mobile version of websites.

All in all I still like xScope much better, especially the tab browsing where I can actually swipe between tabs/pages.
[Nexus One General] n1ghtwish:
not sure if this was mentioned, but if you long press the back button, an exit menu pops up with a checkbox to clear the session history

[Nexus One General] imazighen:
thanx for their great job and hard work, I have a question:

can anybody tell me how to switch between tabs? in both versions winmo and android please, I got stuck sometime when playing some flash video as some sites embbed ads inside the video when u press play button ... and since it launches it on same window you have have only one option is go back then u stay in that loop ! press play -- ads-- back--play-- ads... and the video never shows..

I wish to know how to allow skyfire lanch that ads page in another window or another tab so that we can press play again on the flash video without bodering the ads show again.

thanx

Run into 2 force closes and my screen froze twice which forced me to do battery pulls in 10 minutes. Going back to default browser. I don't mind patiently waiting for Adobe to do their magic.
[Nexus One General] benjatt:
Its a nice try and it's pretty cool to get done videos working on my n1. However I have a couple of gripes.

It doesn't recognize the new google images for mobile.

A youtube video wouldn't load for me yesterday. In the stock browser it automatically loaded in the youtube app.

I have to double tap twice to get the text to re size to the correct reading fitted size. The first double tap zooms out and then the second fits it correctly.

I entered a password and asked it to remember out and now that box overlays every page I enter (?)
