ok, sorry for posting in every mod and now doing a seperate thread but i think more people are interested in this:

Is there currently a way to remove/replace the lockscreen (without some crap programs from the market).

I see that different mods have differnt lockscreens (like the one from ahmgsk), but how to implement the lockscreen in my preferred mod?

In addition: Someone saw the lockscreen.apk from the nexus one anywhere?

I have the N1 lockscreen now @ ahmgsk mod, anyway to extract it from there and port it to pauls mod?

Hi

Im gonna unroot my phone when i get home.....will this change or have any affect on my imei number?

Reason is, i called t-mobile to get them to unlock phone ( and gave them my imei number) they say it takes about 10 days, will flashing my phone again during this time balls up the process ?

thanks
[Desire General] potter1984:
As far as im aware this will not change your IMIE < Thats actually illegal in the uk and various other countrys.

the IMIE should be device specific, whatever the mod or rom flash.

Ok so my Vouge's screen busted on me and I was using mymobiler to use the phone till I got a replacement. Now I have a temporary phone and I will be getting an HTC HD2 and I would like to get everything off of my Touch and on to the HD2.

Problem is all of a sudden my phone does not want to connect to my computer with either ActiveSync or MyMobiler... I did not change anything that I can think off. The only difference I have noticed is before the phone use to stay lit up regardless of how long the phone was connected to the computer. Now all it will do is show the charging light but the screen dims after a a bit and then eventually turns off but still shows the charging light. As long as I have had this phone it never did this while connected to a computer it always stayed light up...

Is there anything thing I can do to get this to connect again?? Any help would be great, thanks in advance guys...
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Have you tried to soft reset?
[Touch CDMA General] dcwiker05:
yep multiple times and it use to work when my mobiler would give me a dumb error or something before but now it does nothing
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
It might not do anything but it is worth a shot anyways. Take out the battery for a couple of seconds, put it back in, and turn on the device. Then, connect it back to the computer, but to a different USB port than the one you normally use.
[Touch CDMA General] dcwiker05:
Yeah I have tried that to though I used the same usb port so I will try it again after work... I don't understand what happened it worked fine like a week ago now nothing... I really would like to get the stuff off of it. Sprint told me the port may have went bad and I am going in Friday to have them look at it but still doesnt't seem like that is the issue.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
I agree, otherwise it wouldn't even charge.
[Touch CDMA General] dcwiker05:
Yeah that is what I was thinking... but then again it is acting like I am using the wrong USB cord. Like I have a mini usb cord for my external hard drive and if I would use that it back when my phone worked it would do the same exact thing, just charge and not connect.

But I am using the cord provided by HTC and I even tried using my digital camera's cord because I know that one would work to before. Nothing... This is pissing me off I don't understand why it randomly doesn't want to work after 2 years of no issues...
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Well, it could be that the reason why your screen failed was because of a problem with the electronics (board on the phone) and after such a long time using it, it finally gave up. Kinda like riding in your car with a nail in the tire. You can keep going, but eventually... it will give in.
[Touch CDMA General] dcwiker05:
The screen didn't fail it physically cracked.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
It could simply be that something shorted. Have you tried to attach it to another computer?
[Touch CDMA General] dcwiker05:
Yeah... I guess I'm screwed unless the sprint store can do something for me when I go in there
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Have you tried a different PC? (doubt this is the case, but...
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
I don't know if this is really just a "screen lock with disabled bits" or if this is some full-blown idle mode, but I was wondering...

I don't have any car-accessories, but I'd still like to use TomTom. Now, TT offers some nice voice guidance, which is more than enough for just getting around (if I ever get really lost, I can pull over and pick the thing out of my pocket).

However, leaving TT running in my pocket means that the screen is on, the display changes and thus battery will be drained considerably faster than if the thing would be locked... not to mention an accidental press of a button (it's in my pocket, after all).

However, locking the phone turns the GPS off, so even if I leave TT running in the background it does me no good.

Is there anything I could try out in such a case?
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
So... this is impossible? :/
[HD2 General] ephestione:
Nothing specially made for that has been released that I know of.

But from info I could gather around, RunGPS has the capability to be set to turn off the display leaving the GPS running.

So you could just install rungps as well, set it to turn off the display with GPS on, and at the same time also run your fav GPS app, tomtom in this case.

What should happen is that the screen will go off with the GPS still working (thanks to rungps) and tomtom will run in background being now able to access the gps device (still thanks to rungps).

Still worse for battery than having only the useful app running (as rungps will take some cpu cycles for itself and will cause more load on the device) but should still be better than leaving the display on at all times.

Let us know your results.

hey what do you know, 900th post :p
[HD2 General] ThoroSOE:
Hmmm... strange... Last I've noticed my GPS kept runnung while the device was locked. I used NaviComputer to track a walk I did with a friend and had my HD2 locked in my pocket most of the time.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
uhm, don't let that fool you.

First times I used navicomputer just for fun, I thought gps was running in background, but only later I realized that the GPS signal was restored right after turning on the display, and navicomputer was showing a straight line going from my latest positiotn before turning off the display, to the first positiotn it got after wakeup... and I'm sure of that since I double checked several times

In case you check and you DO have your GPS on at all times with device in standby using navicomputer, please let me know the list of installed programs you have :D (I doubt it tho)
[HD2 General] Bib_x:
Try this. It works on my HD2. I use Run.GPS to log my tracks while jogging or mountain biking.

Other way to keep gps-fix while screen is off - you have to do only a "screen off", not "standby". I did it with AEButtons+ (e.g. screen off on long-press green call-button) - but with this reg-changes it works better for me.

Or you can only lock your phone and let it go to standby on its own. Then gps-fix will still keep alive. GPS-fix only gets lost if you press hardware-power-button (red end call button) - and registry not changed like above.
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
Awesome, thanks! :D

I'll try it out tomorrow. A bit too late to go for a walk now. :)
[HD2 General] ephestione:
as far as I know rungps is able to use the gps during screenoff as a feature.

I tried locking the device without pressing endbutton, but navicomputer loses the fix no matter what.

I also noticed thos reg patchesin some other thread but I also read there that other users tried them with no avail; did you test those registry fixes with software other than rungps by any chance?
[HD2 General] Bib_x:
Without these reg-changes i tested RunGPS and when i press hardware-power-button - GPS-fix was getting lost.

If i only did a screen off - then GPS-fix was still there.

Now with these reg-changes i can press hardware-power-button during running RunGPS and GPS-fix is still there.

I did only test with RunGPS because that is the only GPS-app i want to use while screen is off/device in standby.

If i use a navigation software (iGo8), then i want to have screen always on- so i didn´t test this scenario.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I see, thank you, let's wait for the OP to test this himself.

Since I already knew rungps has a feature to turn off screen without losing gps signal, I don't think it's the reg settings, but rather it's rungps itself that allows you to do that; since you couldn't test different apps we don't even have a verification :)

I may try to get at it tomorrow, no guarantee I'll have the time tho ;)
[HD2 General] Bib_x:
I´ve installed sportypal, too. Maybe i can make some tests this weekend.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
us wants tests with navicomputer :p :D

No really, navicomputer is cool anyway, so install that too since you're at it ;)
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
All right! I'm back with some results. Now, a quick note: I switched to MapaMap, a Polish map application, as it has a lot better maps for Poland.

I performed two tests: firstly, I started a route around the street and used the softftware lock to lock the screen. Result? MM application kept running and kept talking to me. Nice. :) However, this is still vulnerable to the physical button being pressed and locking the phone; when that happens, MM looses GPS and, in fact, I think the system somehow pauses this applicaiton altogether (more on that in the next bit).

So, since the physical button is still possibly a problem (after all, during driving the phone is in my pocket, and it's not really difficult for that button to be pressed), I tweaked the registry as Bib_x suggested. However, it seems that even IF the GPS module was still running, the MM application enters this weird suspended state, and whenever I resumed it, it would always greet me with a "searching for GPS signal" message. Granted, it would find the signal very quickly, but it still didn't work while the screen was off.

The odd thing is that mode the application went into. Normally, when it's minimised, I can pick it from the task-switcher and bingo! It's instantly back up. But when I press the hardware lock button and then unlock the phone, I get the Windows "please wait, I'm working" wheel in the centre for a while, before the app is restored.

I can check with TT again to see if the problem is restricted to only MM, but something tells me it's not an isolated case. So now I'd need to figure out a way to keep MM working when the phone is locked; kind of like the music player.

EDIT: TomTom resumes a lot faster, but it still looses GPS; right after resuming it says "no GPS device", and that's with the registry changes applied and after restarting the phone.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
exactly my experience with any other gps software.

Didn't even try the reg tweaks as I didn't trust them that much.

Just try installing rungps as per my suggestion and using that at the same time with your fav navigation software, maybe the fact that rungps keeps the gps subsystem working while screen is off makes also the other app do its job.
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
After some more fooling around, I've made it, albeit I fear this method might be limited to MapaMap only.

When installing MM there are two options: either installing onto the HD2 or directly onto the MicroSD card. The former option will always install something called "wake up plugin" (might be worded differently in English) which doesn't show up in the "remove applications" menu, so it's more of an integral part of MM and probably can't be removed in this case. In the latter option, this plugin won't be installed, and in fact, is unavailable.

Initially, I've installed the app directly onto the phone, so that plugin was included automatically. My guess is that THIS was the bit responsible for putting the app into some sort of "sleep" state. However, when I installed the app onto the SD card without the plugin, I could lock the phone using the end-call button and the app wouldn't shut itself down like that; it even kept talking to me during the ride, so everything worked. Once more, I can confirm: THE SYSTEM KEPT ON WORKING DESPITE BEING LOCKED - I drove quite a distance and took some different turns, and the phone kept nicely informing me of the new distance and of upcoming turns.

This was all done using the registry settings suggested in this thread! Without them, the app will loose GPS data when the phone is locked, and if I set it to record my movements, it'll create a straight line between the start and end point, with a "no GPS signal" in the middle

EDIT: Do the registry values 1 and 4 mean "always on" and "always off"? What about values 2 and 3? I'm assuming there's no way to make the GPS module "smart", so that it's turned on only when needed? Or is it possible to add a manual switch for the GPS module to the Comm Manager?
[HD2 General] Bib_x:
GPS will only be on if a program sends this comand. And if you end the program, then this program sends a kill-comand to gps.
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Have you tried with Pocketshield screen lock?

There is a setting at Locking > "Except when...", there you add exceptions to applications which will be allowed to continue running with the screen turned off.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
The reg edits work for me with GPS Tuner and google maps, not with iGO8. I had actually tried that myself, but only the ones in "unattended" and set to 0 instead of 1 (as that's the fix that's used to keep music playing in Coreplayer and that works), but apparently it wasn't enough for the GPS. Good news :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
I think a bit of transparency in the CHT looks great! I've installed the different cabs to do this. The only thing lacking is that for the retractable slider button. Can somebody please do this? Perhaps one that is completely transparent and one that is 50% opaque.

Thanks!

THIS IS SOLVED! THANKS TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED (santod, degake, artukas and poyensa)

Here are the different cabs contributed:

1. santod"s super stealth slider cab: hides completely the slider button

2. artukas613 cabs: 50% opaque background (thanks, degake for cabbing them)

3. poyensa cabs: no background and transparent background

Once again, thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
I have just attached my completely transparent one, to my post HERE.

"Super Stealth Slider Tab".

Maybe I will add a 5o percent trans one as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
tried the super stealth tab and the retractable slider button completely disappeared! what i prefer would be to keep the button but make its background transparent or 50% opaque. i hope you can consider this too in your transparencies.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
Yes, that one makes it completely invisible.

I will add some other options in the coming days. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
tried the super stealth tab and the retractable slider button completely disappeared! what i prefer would be to keep the button but make its background transparent or 50% opaque. i hope you can consider this too in your transparencies.

would also know a transparency for the home tabs when you use the slider? the background of the home tabs where the big icons show in the middle is kinda dark and, i think, needs transparency as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
I have made a cab that makes that completely invisible as well, but sounds like you just want it to be partially transparent. I'll see about adding one like that as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
thanks, no hurry! maybe, tomorrow? :) jk anyways, any transparency too for the home tab background when you you use the slider? read my previous post on this. i just realized it too needs some transparency.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
which cab is that? sorry, but with so may cabs i don't know which one is which. i'll give it a try. but you're right, i prefer them to be partially transparent. where can i find your transparency cabs so that i can watch that forum closely? thanks, once again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
I have mostly posted them at another forum I frequent, but will likely be starting a new thread or two here, very soon.

Below, I have attached my Clear Transitions cab, for the slider Preview Background, when switching tabs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
it's great! just tried the cab, it really makes a big difference now. i'll keep it for now. but i'll still wait for the 50% opaque cab and see which will suit me better.

i'll watch for your new thread here. i hope when you post the cabs there, if you can provide a brief explanation of what the cabs do unless, of course, it's pretty obvious from their names.

thanks, right now, i'm a happy camper!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
You can use my .cab I made a while ago :)

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
thank you so much! this is what i prefer. now, i'm a happier camper :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
How come this didn't work for me? I have Stock ROM TMOUS. This is suppose to make retractable slider 50% opaque right? It looks the same for me. Any instructions? Can you post screen shot of what it looks like after installation. TY.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
no, dega's cab makes 50% opaque the transition background as you slide through the different home tabs. the background is where the big icons appear in the middle of the screen when you slide through the tabs, e.g. home, music, people, etc. it does not make opaque the retractable slider button as i requested. santod is working on it though and i'm still waiting for it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donwhann:
any news on the 50% opaque slider button yet....?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
santod said he'll post a new thread soon with all his transparencies and, hopefully, including this one. we just have to wait.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] artukas613:
Hi,

Are you talking about this:

Its not that hard to change it. A bit of time and photoshop.

I not a CABman, so you have to replace manila files manually.

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
and this is the 2 options for the original 'slider up' button without background
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
yup, that's it! thanks a lot.

but is it possible to have a transparent background, not only 50%, too if it's not asking much. of course, the retractable slider button still has to appear and not disappear.

i guess i have to find the time to learn some photoshop.

edit: wow, poyensa beat me to it. he just posted the cabs for this. many thanks to you!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
I've .cabbed out the files, for those who want to use this slider and prefer a .cab installation....

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
thanks!!! will give it a try. but they look really good.

Can the dusk slider cab be used on manila 2.5.19211619.0 with CHT 1.7.1 or we have to use the other cab only
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
i think using CHTEditor you have the option what slider button you want: either the dusk or the other one. then you have to choose the corresponding cab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
Yes, the .cab's can be used with every manila version running Co0kie's Home Tab.

Indeed: you first have to select the "auto hide slider" feature in CHTEditor, which will enable the "show slider" button.

After this, you have to choose which of the 2 sliders you want: if you want the original 50% opaque one, just install "50% opaque slider.cab".

If you want the dusk version, just install "50% opaque dusk slider.cab"

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
i installed the ones by artukas and i thought i had to do a hard reset as it wouldn't boot up for several times. it gets stuck at the windows screen. anyway, as soon as i was able to get through, i uninstalled and everything is back to normal. thanks but no thanks. it must be interfering with something in my phone. i have stock rom TmoUS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
i got stock rom TmoUS too and it works perfectly. may i ask you something: do you have a rectractable slider in the first place?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cdrym:
Did as you mentioned but the slider button remained the same as before (what comes as standard in the CHT v 1.7.1) and I could not change it to look like the dusk version. No option,""show slider" was available to choose a different slider button after I enabled the "hide slider" option. I am not sure, but I think the cab file only makes the existing slider button transparent (that also only if you load the correct cab file, as I loaded the dusk cab and my slider remained opaque). Therefore could anyone tell me where I can get a cab do change the CHT slider to a one that looks like the dusk version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
sorry, i thought that CHTEditor gives you an option to choose which button you want. anyways, here is a thread that can give you that dusk style button:

Hey people, i've been running nfsfans 1.05 rom and frankly, it blows. it's slow, the text messaging is nearly unusable and i just can't cope with it anymore.

i need a new, speedier rom. something slim, without too many extraneous features but most importantly, i just need something fast. in the last rom, i'd close out a threaded im and it would take 15-45+ seconds to get back to the text inbox. going from the inbox to the home screen would take more then 60 seconds. this is just unacceptable. i would have to restart the phone a half-dozen times a day because it would simply freeze for no reason.</rant>

anyway, if anyone could recommend something to me, i would be forever grateful.

thanks!!

You can try mine. It's clean and fast, very similar to DCD's. Visit the link in my sig for more information.
