[Hero CDMA Accessories] kyouko:
What about just getting a microsd adapter or even mounting it to the computer. And then run a program that tests read/write speeds and use it on the card. like h2testw or something :/
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
1. On the phone is just cooler :cool:

2. On another thread about this topic there was debate about how accurate it would be to use an adapter or mounting as a drive. Adding cable seems to me like it could increase latency and you are no longer using the phones OS to test its internal stuff. ( i know its USB its faster than the card anyways, but see #1)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] energizer1389:
You can start from there then trial and error. I was thinking you can take a look at any of the web SpeedTests in the market and learn something from there.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] centran:
If you are on linux you can mount the phone and run

hdparm -tT /dev/sdd

where sdd is the phones drive(could be different on your machine)

That will give you a read speed but would would be limited by your USB read speed.

Hdparm is not built into android so you can't run it from the phone. There is one command that is built in that can measure speeds... However it is VERY VERY VERY dangerous so I hesitate to post it here but... dd

For the love of God do not mess with dd unless you read up on it and fully understand it. You could very easily measure write speed as well as read with dd but you would need an empty card because you would have to just blindly write to the blocks on the card. Doing which will at the bare minimum if you know what you are doing overwrite stuff on the card. Worst case is you mess up your partition table and have to re-partition. So I will only point you in the direction of dd and not post any code on how to use it for fear of some idiot entering the code and wiping their phone(although they would have to know how to use adb shell so they wouldn't be complete idiots)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] HeroMeng:
This would be a useful app. I have a class 6 PNY SD and want to know how fast it really is.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] KyleIsTheBeast:
Wow, what an AMAZING idea for an app. I would be more than happy to help and test!!!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Sooo

I am working on this guys.

I have gotten the program writing a file out to the SDcard. It just a randomly filled Byte Array being parsed to a file on the SDcard a few times, then reading it back off (Haven't got the reading part yet). I am running into some FC issues and also getting the timer to work is being a PITA. Android doesn't like my threads for some reason.

If I have time this week maybe I can get it done - or at least working, but I have some stuff going on that may slow down progress.

EDIT:

Also if anyone that is not quite so Artisticly Challenged as I am wants to get me some drawables. I can use an Icon and a 320x480 image back ground (Let's try to keep it simple :D, I have seen some of your boot screens. lol)

couldn't you just pop it into an adapter, and use HD Tune on your pc? http://www.hdtune.com/
[Hero CDMA Accessories] jerry43812:
I think the concept of the app request is so people don't have to turn off theory beloved heroes and pull battery just to get to the SD card, babe.

[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Well, it reads and writes a 6 meg file while spinning a wait cursor LOL.

Been working on final projects the past few weeks.

Might have something out 2 week of june.

As it stands now:

1)Need to setup a time mechanism - probably most acurate to grab a time stamp before the start and after the finish. Threads tend to get time messed up.

2)After the file is written and the time is figured out. Need to display the read/write results.

3)Then need to cleanup the file and ram after everything is done.

Also, I have seen the file only become half of the size it should be (3 mb)....which I think has something to do with UTF (Chars taking up 2 bytes)....but I am not sure yet.

And on top of that...who the hell knows if its accurate LOL.

But it's been interesting and fun.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] kashb91:
haha, well thats good. keeps you interested then. i honestly dont kknow anything about programming and what not, so i cant help you there. buuuutttt when you finish and need testers i can help. well try anyways
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
I am really interested to see if it's even remotly accurate.

Seems like creating a 6 meg file and writing it out from memory to the card would surely test well... But there are a crap ton of things that could come into play and effect it.

I guess we'll only know if we try. :D
[Hero CDMA Accessories] kashb91:
unless my phone explodes, i see nothing wrong with trying it out.

Hey there guys,

As the title says, i am meaning to ask about the HTC Desire lockscreen.

Our 2.1 Roms, including the ones from the HTC Legend, whenever you want to unlock you pull down the bar and the transition pulls down the lockscreen picture down as well.

On the HTC desire though, you just pull down the bar, and it unlocks in a better (for me) transition. The lockscreen picture stays intact, and the bar is just pulled down. I seem to prefer that.

Here's a video showing this @ 1:01.

Is this possible to achieve?

TIA

EDIT: 14/6/2010

Thanks to HomerSp (many many props) Desire lockscreen is now available!

Get it HERE as an update.zip.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] schoolsux:
Well..

Everything is possible! And I totally agree with you. :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tkm89:
Yes, would be very nice. Perhaps a theme could resolve this or hopefully the official 2.1 will include this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Now that we're three, anyone mind giving us a hint? I'll try and work on it myself if needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] schoolsux:
Gotha be something in the HTCLockscreen.apk !!

Hax some there making the lockscreen "wallpaper/background" not following the unlock bar. Instead you make it stand still and fadeout to the homescreen when unlock has been done.

Don't ask me how to do this tho ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] GXFX:
really liked it !

now , we are four :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] raikan123:
the lockscreen would be nice if it wre to be for the 2.1 roms :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tkm89:
Also (thought I might add this in, might be some help), when answering a call only the bar slides down (not the background).

About whether this will be in the official 2.1, I'm not sure if this any indication of what to expect but on the HTC Wildfire (2.1 and similar specs to our Hero), the lockscreen is the same as the one we have in 1.5 (ie bar + background, not just bar).
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
My guess its just a modified HTCLockscreen.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
lol me2, hasn't anyone just tried it? i was expecting to be hit with problems when opening this thread, just make a nandroid backup and push the file to /system/app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Yea figured as much as well, thing is i have no idea if, due to the difference in screen size, it would get affected ( i suppose it will).

And due to me not knowing HOW to edit apk's, thought maybe i'd ask first.

I'll be uploading in a while the Lockscreen.apk off of MCR ROM for the Desire. My ROM isn't deodexed, so I can't test it, if any of you guys wanna give it a try, please do so and let me know. Nandroid first, as kendong said.

edit. just remove the HTCLockscreen.apk from system/app/ and push this one via adb.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Well, as noone tried it, i did a nandroid and cooked a Villain rom 5.5.0 with the APK integrated in it.

Freezes on boot. Ill try again and get a logcat, see if someone can help out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] G8D:
I like the collapsing effect we have on 1.5..
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Ok so instead of a cooked rom, i went ahead and installed 5.5.0 Villain Rom today, and removed the normal HtcLockScreen.apk via adb, and pushed the new one.

As expected, same as above, it wouldn't boot. I've got a logcat now.

Anyone mind giving this a look?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
I am still not giving up here.

Decompiled the apk's via the APKTool, and i am "trying" to compare the two. Anyone with more knowledge please help me out.

Here are the two decompiled apk's. One from VR 5.5.0 and the other one from the Desire.

I do believe that this might be a problem with /system/frameword/com.htc.resources.apk. If it is, i have no idea how to fix it. This guess is based upon the fact that most themers update that particular apk in order to move from old framework rosies to new ones (1.5 =>2.1).

ANY help is appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] xinos:
There are 4 changed files located in DesireLock\smali\com\htc\lockscreen

HtcLockScreen$1.smali

HtcLockScreen$5.smali

HtcLockScreen.smali

R$string.smali

Comparing these would probably come up with only the bar going down as these files are smalled then the original hero lockscreen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
You based this on the file size difference, didn't you?

Well, substituting the files from the old lockscreen to the new desire lockscreen, then recompiling would make it work, you believe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] xinos:
If all the other requets are the same, then yes it should be just a few lines actually. But i have no idea what the other differences between say the dialer, or other functionality the desire lockscreen adds/remove's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] norpan111:
I really want this too :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mljjlm:
Wouldn't it be easier to get the desire lockscreen.apk and put the graphics from the hero into the apk-file and edit the layout so the images fit into the screen? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] HomerSp:
Here you go, push this.

It's from VillainROM10 btw.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mljjlm:
Then it just needs the fading-effect seen on the Desire? :)

Thanks HomerSP :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
I seriously am in love with you Homer :P

It didn't even take you a day to get it fixed (must be like 2 hours since i asked)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] schoolsux:
Cool, never got hang of the freakin ADB thingy tho :( A signed "update.zip" would be awesome :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] HomerSp:
Here it is as an update.zip, also has a few fixes so I would suggest people to flash it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] schoolsux:
Damn, I love you man! :p

EDIT: Works perfect, I've been dreaming about this HTC lockscreen modification for months!!

Btw a quick fadeout effect would be nice. It's really nothing important and I'm very happy the way it is but just sayin' :)

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] m4co:
Hej Homer,

So I flashed the last file that you attached and I don't see any changed.

The lock screen is still the same, where can I change it ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
^What rom do you use?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] m4co:
VillainRom 10.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] niccspon:
Is there any possibility to make this lockscreen work on a general 2.1 Rom? Or it works only for the villain?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] VinceArth:
I think it works on every 2.1 rom, just flash it to ChocolateEclair 1.0.1. And it works just fine :D

Awesome.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] niccspon:
Unfortunately it doesn't work on cronos 1.5.1... when I reebot the phone I have the Android transparent lockscreen
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Brooks316:
I also flashed the update over Cronos 1.7 and the lockscreen failed to change. I then decieded to remove the original HTC Lockscreen and Push the Desire one but now the bar you pull down appears to have some file missing as it looks like some distorted yellow face. Will try and find a screenshot. It still acts like the bar is there though, and pulls down like the Desire one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tkm89:
Ah nice, it works! Thanks HomerSp! The fadeout effect would make this perfect :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
You need a *DEODEXED* build to do run this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ampicillin:
nice work it works with VillainRom 10.2 ... Thanks Guys keep it up :D

can anyone makes this kind of screen ? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
well that the standard eclair lockscreen.

remove htclockscreen.apk and you should get that. works in VR 10.3 and above, not 10.2 by the way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] fcknghll:
can confirm it doesn't work on cronos 1.7.1, comes up with random stretched smiley icons

can anyone shed some light as to why?

It didnt work for me; running VillainROM 10.0.0

Anyone have any luck with this ROM version?

For VR users => You need to have a deodexed build aka 10.1 and above.

Not too sure about Cronos, sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Brooks316:
I got the same stretched smiley faces on Cronos. 1.7.1. It did say 'files missing' at one point. Not sure if there is some image files it needs to use that are located elsewhere, or are they built in the .apk?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Is cronos 1.7.1 deodexed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] fcknghll:
yes it's fully deodexed...

It was posted under requests on our forum,

Looking into it atm :)

Patience, my friend :)

Btw, someone on 1.7.1.. could that one then please PM me with more details? :D (For I am on 2.0.. bug fixing atm.)

Edit: ok, will release/edit my tutorial for it :)

Thanks for the .apk, HomerSP (I don't know what-ever you did to it) :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Haha, I'm such a tool sometimes.... I want the opposite of what this does. Sorry, it was late :)

So, is there anyway to revert back to the lockscreen where the bar and picture pull down?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sebxd:
I'm not sure but take the HtcLockScreen.apk of another Villain Rom and push it via adb I think that it will work

This works with an odexed ROM as well. Use something like Root Explorer to remove the existing HtcLockScreen.apk/odex files. Then grab HomerSp's zip, extract it and copy the new HtcLockScreen.apk to your sdcard. Go into Root Explorer again and copy the new lockscreen to /system/app

Hi folks,

I'm running MoDaCo r5 (2.1) on my Hero. I have tried all the different ways to install the Desire lockscreen, but still unsuccessfull!

1. Flashing the zip file does not change anything, still HTC lockscreen.

2. Deleting the original HtcLockScreen.apk file and copying the modified one into system/app does not work as well. Have tried both (adb, Root Explorer and Android Commander), the HtcLockScreen.apk from zip file and the standalone file posted earlier.

With option 2 im getting the new layout, but not correctly aligned :D

Would appreciate if somebody can assist. Thanks.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nakazul:
Hi all

Been using my HD2 for a while and i love it. BUT i got 2 operator subscriptions (i need that) and i been drooling over the Pro 2, and seeing all the development is happening on this device, i ask my self. How is scrolling and speed? Is it fast? I guess with all the devolopment happening on it there are significant improvments, i realise that. BUT its a rather old device now so i want to ask you, the users. Maybe one of you even as i waant, have both phones to tell me in comparison.

In other words, will it be smooth and fast in scrolling and using softwares?

Sorry for my bad english, im from Sweden. Hope you can tell me the answer thou because im closing in on a buy and need the info rather fast.

Kind regards from the HTC WM lover, Peder Nakazul Tjärnberg.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pjm77:
I've been using TP2 for 9 or 10 months now. My only complaint is that this device is underpowered. No matter which ROM the user experience is never really smooth. It is probably possible when you go for speed only and cut down on everything else, but if you're looking for some eye candy it's not gonna be smooth. Hope it helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Your English is better than my Swedish! The TP2 is never going to be as fast as the HD2. The HD2 has twice the processor power and much more RAM. I considered getting the HD2, but I decided to stay with my TP2 because of the nice keyboard and the fact that it is the last pure Window Mobile phone. The HD2 does not have a stylus, that says it all! I like WM because it is customizable.

However, if one tweaks the TP2 correctly, it is adequate to most any task. Memory is more of an issue for me rather than speed. Sense tends to eat up the RAM. Sometimes I use SPB Mobile Shell instead of Sense for this reason.

So, the summary; if you use the device "out of the box" and like the HD2, then that is probably the best device. If you need to do a lot of typing and are willing to work with the device to get the best performance, then the TP2 may be the device of choice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Chainfire:
If you have used an HD2 for regular use, the TP2 is unbearably slow (IMHO). It has half the mhz's, but it's also an older generation chip, the HD2 is much more than twice as fast.

Whenever I need to power up any of the old MSM7K devices, I cry a little inside.

But the lack of keyboard, lack of stylus, and capacitive screen of the HD2 also make me frown. I miss using the stylus for precision stuff, I miss the keyboard for quick typing, and I miss resistive screens because even if you don't want to use a stylus, using your finger actually clicks in the same zipcode as where your finger is.

Luckily, when I'm in that mood I can also power up a Samsung Giorgio Armani II, which is a lot faster than the TP2 (though not as fast as HD2).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
MSM7K? What does that mean?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Chainfire:
It's the processor. The HD2 has a QSD8K "Snapdragon" processor. Pretty much all other HTC devices from the last 3 years or so use one of the variants of the MSM7K processor. To name a few devices: Touch Dual, TyTN II, Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch HD, Diamond II, Touch Pro II. The HD2 is in many aspects the first

new

device HTC has released in over 3 years.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Ah, I had not heard the designation before!

But doesn't a faster processor impact battery life?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MooGoo:
Just stop trying to run WinMo 6.5.x ROMS with Sense on your Rhodiums and you'll find the device is quite snappy.

Find a 6.1 ROM with TouchFlo 3D (the monochromatic one, not sure what it is really called) or even just regular Today screen. You'll not miss the eye-candy for a second.
