[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 98classic:
would it be possible to give the button a different function? such as turning off the backlight?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Not easily, but nothing is impossible :).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mountaindont:
dude. you are on a ROLL my man!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
You are crazy man! :)

you keep bringing these new things to the table and everyone loves it.

Keep up the great work!

This was all smali editing huh?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
Yes!!!!! :D:cool::D

Thank you SO much! I really, really, need this. I must have a pointy face or something. :o

Downloading now....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 98classic:
lol, i hear ya, well good stuff with the rotary and the clock removal im using both. and the only thing i hate about this phone vs. my old winmo phone is being able to turn the backlight off while on the phone and my cheek doing all sorts of crap when im on a call haha. thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Thanks. Yes, this mod encompassed smali edits, a resource.arsc edit, and some .9 png changes. I have to be honest, this one took more effort than expected! It was an all-nigther :D.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sud_hotline:
Thanks a lot for this mod, downloading now.

have been accidentally ending calls a lot, this will definitely help.

Re: [MOD] Disable 'End Call' Soft Key / Button v2.0

is this metamorph or update.zip?

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Stay tuned. I just had an idea I want to test whereby I may be able to "prevent" the center button display, now that its function has been disabled, through some XML hex edits...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
Read the 1st post.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
This is an update zip.

Edit: Funny that 'doojer' copy/pasted the same quote as me:).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
You are a rockstar.

I am in the process of flashing the current mod, but I am happy to test out any more tweaks you come up with! :cool:

Thanks again for this. It really is appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Any confirmation out there from someone other than me, that it is working as intended? Just want to make sure I didn't bork anyone's phone...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Updated

Okay, I've modified the first post, and updated the download file to a new version, where the button is now gone all together, which I think just looks nicer.

Screenshot is posted to show the old versus new.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
lol, I was just posting to say the first version worked fine for me... going to flash the new one now :)

Great work!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
Working great! I can't tell you how much better this makes my phone-talking experience. So nice to not be constantly worried about disconnecting the call!

I will try the new mod a little later this evening.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
think its possible to make the button go to lock screen instead?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
New version is working great too! I've hung up on people quite a few times because my face hit the hang up button. Thanks for this!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Sweet. Yes, this mod was done for personal reasons, as I've hung up more than a few times using my face as well...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CEspaillat:
Talk about reading my mind!!! You are awesome!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
Decided to just go ahead and download the new version to my phone and flash it here at work.

Works great! And looks nice, too. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] riggsandroid:
Well done, thanks for the sharing. Also thanks for removing the time from the taskbar in your other thread!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Couldn't wait 'till after work huh :D?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] looneylu:
worked great for me as well! thanks a lot
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
looks awesome works great. Thanks JsChiSurf!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Since it's technically a new mod, do I still have to name it after you :D?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
i...i....spose......not :*( lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
This is awesome. Been using "shake awake" from the market with decent results, but this mod is simple and perfect.

If it's possible, put me as a +1 for liking the idea of changing it to turn off the backlight too.

great work!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bubi73:
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] GODZSON:
Great addition!, will add into Hero Mods 2.1 (sticky) thank you for your share.

How do you call if the call/end call button is gone?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Well, since you asked twice, I guess I have to answer twice...

The 'end call' button is removed from the 'call in progress' screen, AFTER a call is made / received.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
This is an epic win!! I actually like the first screen shot better (the one with the greyed out button)...but either way...you rock!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chfields:
Sorry...working so I didn't get a chance to edit/delete the post, have to post between calls.......
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] foolforfood:
This is awesome, I have been hanging up on people for months now by accident. The other thing I always end up doing is putting it on mute by accident, which causes them to hang up on me :( any chance of a MOD removing the mute button?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
Now if we can change that to a screen lock button, that would rock.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
This "may" be possible, though it would probably be in a different version / release, since I've now completely removed the button all together.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'm sure it can be done relatively easily, but I'm not sure the demand is there to justify. Maybe I'm wrong.

Re: [MOD] Remove 'End Call' Soft Key / Button While Call is in Progress - v2.1

Umm, yeah, I think we're all aware of third party bandaids. The point of this mod is the eliminate the issue at its root, not add another app to cover it up.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] clifton421:
What would be awsome would be to put the mute and speaker phone buttons on a rotary or slide activation system like the vanilla lockscreens!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
I have been enjoying my phone so much more thanks to this. It's really incredible. It's like a weight lifted, haha.

And, trust me, I know all the bandaids. That proximity sensor program never worked from me no matter what I did. I don't want a bluetooth headset, I don't want to hold my face away from the phone, I don't want to pull down the taskbar or hold menu every time I answer a call to bring up the keyboard.

This is the life, baby. Right here. :cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Now that's a testimonial :). Makes the effort well worth it, hearing something like this.

Please Help!

Hopefully you can 'make' this happen!

TIA!!! :cool::cool::cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bubi73:
The 2.1 leak for the moment has an in-call screen that looks like the vanilla 2.1 lock screen. You have to slide the button on the left all the way over to the right side of the screen to mute. Any chance it could be ported over from the Moment?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
I'm assuming it shouldn't be a problem, but I'm just checking that this mod should still work with the newest DamageControl update (2.08)?

Because I would rather never update my ROM again than lose this mod! It is #1 on my list of things I won't give up!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
dude you are on a roll, nice work man, this has been a huge issue for no more face hang ups, my girlfriend will love me again.....:D

EDIT: Tested this on the new damage 2.08 and it works perfectly......woot woot
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bubi73:
Here's a screenshot from the Moment 2.1 leak. The 'End Call' button has been removed and muting with the face is impossible now.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sud_hotline:
This is a nice add-on ...... it would be nice if we can use the space for any other function.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] findrodhere:
is there any chance of getting the moment 2.1 leak 'In Call' screen ported over to the hero soon?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] yaeger:
I flashed this on Fresh 2.1 with the revised version but I still get vibrate and only a greyed out button that still hangs up when I press it. I suppose this is not compatible with Fresh Rom yet? If not, I made a dumb mistake by not doing a nandroid first... oh well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Update for Fresh 2.1.2

Attached is the remove 'end call' soft key mod re-done based on the most current Phone.apk file pulled from the deodexed Fresh 2.1.2 ROM. This will remove the end call soft key, the vibrate on connect that occurs after sending a call, as well as clean up the phone icon in the taskbar.

This has been done as a MetaMorph, so as to make sure any graphic modifications, themes, etc, that you may have applied will not be undone. I am also including the Phone.apk file for those who just want to adb push to their /system/app folder, and know how to modify as they desire from a visual perspective.

Phone.apk <--- Themers, experienced users, etc, adb push to your /system/app folder

XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application

THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application

Re-refrence:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
JsChiSurf you rock, keep up the kick ass work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] hayabusa03rx:
Its funny I was just telling my friend about this on the phone and hung up on her 3x in a row. The 4th time I called her back I was looking for this thread to install this. No more hang ups whoooohooo.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] DJAscendance:
I frigging love this mod!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] showbo:
I am just barely above being newb with this phones. I cannot flash these in recovery because they are not signed, so how exactly do I flash this for my fresh-toast rom?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Barely above :)? The post says to apply using MetaMorph...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] showbo:
... Alrighty, I will search for metamorph. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
FYI, MetaMorph is a free app to download in the market, used to only apply changes to an apk/jar file, rather than re-distribute the whole thing. Works nicely to prevent undoing changes you may have done to the same apk/jar files previously, via themes, etc.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] showbo:
Sweet, Thanks. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] showbo:
Confirmed working with Fresh-Toast 2.1. Awesome, thanks, and thanks for instructing a newb ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] showbo:
I retract my statement.

confirmed working as far as visuals go. If I hit the blank area, it still ends the call.

All good though, I know it wasn't meant for Fresh-Toast, just thought I would try.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Yea, you'd have to hybrid the two ROMs. Fresh-Toast is odexed, so any changes I've made to the actual binary file aren't going to "take".

You could grab all of the apk/jar files out of the system partition for Fresh 2.1.2 and replace them in Fresh Toast, which would then get it to work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Gamercjm:
Didn't think it was working at first, phone seemed super laggy and couldn't complete the dial.

Works great now, had to reboot and give it a couple tries but seems fine now.

Visually and functionally it seems to work. Fresh 2.1.2
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That's the phone app resetting itself after the mod gets applied. It takes a few minutes for all services to come up when applied to a running phone.

Does this flash work on Fresh 2.0d. My wife has this problem and complains about it so much. Thanks for working on this and getting it to work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Absolutely. This was originally built around 2.0d. Just use the link in the OP, rather than following the updated link for 2.1.2.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tibedabeeto:
But that one looks like the whole bar on the bottom is gone. Is that one just like this where just the end button soft key is only gone? Just want to make sure I am grabbing the right one. maybe a link :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Confused. The only thing removed is the end call button. As mentioned, the download link is at the VERY end of the OP.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tibedabeeto:
Was just about to send another message and say ignore my last comment. I was confused by the other thread. Thanks for the update zip, I know my wife will appreciate it. Also thanks for the other updates you threw out there. I have used most of them for my rom. Keep up the good work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] balistc:
Worked on DC 2.09.01. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Cephiros:
Thanks for this. I have ended calls on accident before. I backed up the previous phone.apk via adb first then pushed it. Working well on my Fresh Toast 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] TeCKNeiC:
I have searched XDA and the net for this problem. No luck. I did this "PhoneNoEndButton.zip" update now my phone's radio will not connect (No signal). I have tried to Nandroid backwards and cannot through the phone or adb. Phone begins process but then tells me to update through ADB. When I try through ADB, ADB then give me the error "nandroid-restore.sh: not found" after mounting SD and attempting to start the restore. I am rooted and running Damage Control 2.09.01. I am now attempting to restore through a TITANIUM backup that I have. Anyone else have this problem? Is it possible to unflash a single ZIP file?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mjweisberg:
Am I correct to assume that I only need the MetaMorph XML zip and I do not need the phone.apk?

Thanks, Mark
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] balistc:
You need both, at least I did. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No, you only have to choose the option that works best for you, just one of the three.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] balistc:
OOps, my bad.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No worries. It certainly won't hurt anything. It'll just reset any customizations you may have done to the Phone.apk. The MM prevents this.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CrackedTech:
Has anyone else had an issue with this changing their Decline button? Now when I get a call with the phone unlocked the Decline button is gray. It still works normally so it's more of just a cosmetic/OCD annoyance I was just curious if it was related to this since I haven't done anything else theme related.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
Yep, my decline button is now gray, too. But, it works and I am fine with a gray decline button. Well worth the benefit of this awesome mod!! :cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CrackedTech:
I agree with the mod being awesome and I'm not even looking for it to be changed. Just wondering if anyone else had the same thing.

Mod. edit: moved to t&a on OP request
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] d12d:
I have been running the mod to remove the end button with no problems. However when trying to apply the mod with no end button and no vibrate I get numerous FC's and once rebooting I have no signal. I tried restarting a number of times with no success. I first loaded via MetaMorph with no success and then loaded my backup and just pushed the phone.apk to the app folder and it still did not work. I have restored my phone to my backup again. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this because I am running the previous no end button mod? I am on Fresh 2.1.2.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Are you running stock Fresh 2.1.2, straight from his thread? If you are pushing the apk, it has to be 100% stock.

What do you mean by "no success" regarding MM?

Lastly, the symptoms you describe for pushing the apk, would be consistent with the apk getting replaced with an incompatible version, and therefore not loading up, ending up with no Phone apk at all, and thus the force closes, etc.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] d12d:
I'm running Fresh 2.1.2. It's not completly stock but I have made no adjustments or modifications to the phone.apk. The only thing I have done was install your earlier zip that removed the end call button. This was the version without the remove vibrate mod.

Sorry for not being clear. I tried applying this mod via MM and received numerous FC's. MM did say it applied correctly. I tried restarting a number of times but each time I had no signal and various other issues. After realizing this wasn't working I loaded by nandroid backup and tried to push the file to the /apps folder. This also caused the same issue and I had to load my backup again.

It does appear I have a incompatible version or something.

Thanks for you help in getting my phone diagnosed. Also don't spend a ton of time on this as the vibrate isn't the worst thing in the world. Thanks!:)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'd recommend trying to push the original Phone.apk out of the ROM you flash, to go back to stock, then applying the updated MM.

The original mod I'm thinking you are referring to was not for 2.1.2, rather 2.0d, so my best guess is this is the problem.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] d12d:
I tried the Phone.apk out of the rom and I am receiving the same FC's. I then overwrote the "stock" phone.apk with the one that was working and I still received FC's. I just just restored my backup and all appears well again. The only other thing I can think of is that I am running a different rosie.apk.

I have no idea why its doing what its doing but its currently working and I am not worried about my phone vibrating when it calls out. Thanks for all of your help and your awesome mods.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Grady:
Hey guys,

I'm new to the Android phones and was wondering if I could get a little help making this mod happen from A-Z? It's actually for my girlfriend. She is ALWAYS hanging up on me and knowing how open source the Android phones are, I knew there had to be a fix for it by now.

Is there a guide on how to do this? And JsChiSurf, you're amazing for making this app possible.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
It's a MetaMorph, simply apply the update and you are good to go.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
What ROMs will this work on? Specifically, will it work for stock rooted and/or nfinitefx45's ROM?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
I found the answer myself. If anyone wants to use this with nfinitefx45's de-odex rom, be warned that it will mix up a few icons in the taskbar. The only 2 I noticed during the time I used it are

1) it shows TTY icon instead of headphones when headphones are plugged in

2) it shows 3G icon instead of no zero bars with the red x when there is no reception (you can see it when you first boot before it connects to Sprint)

I reported this to nfinitefx45 and he made me a new zip to flash. I tried flashing it over the one in the OP, but it didn't fix it. I had to nandroid restore to before I flashed JsChiSurf's, then flash nfinitefx45's modified one and it works great. I'm attaching it in case others want it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] d-shade:
Is there any way to get this working on non-sprint based roms?

When I push the phone.apk or use metamorph I lose my VM notifications.

It seems VM notifications are tied to the phone.apk.

Edit:

Nevermind I think I got it working
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BuzzFuzz:
Can i use that on G2 Touch?
[HD2 General] randommann:
Now i have been looking for an all in one solution mobile device for some time.

Audio is probably the most important feature for me aside from actually being a phone.

At first i was not sure if i was just hearing things, but after a little over a weeks testing i am absolutely sure that there are differences in the soundscape that comes out of the HD2 and Iphone 3GS(and Ipod Touch 1G on original firmware which is very similar to the Iphone in sound).

I have tested on a range of speakers from cheap to studio quality and headphones again from cheap to studio quality.

I would listen to entire songs on one then the other and i would listen to specific parts quickly switch to the other.

What i cannot figure out is why this is the case.

Shouldn't the same songs in the same encoding come out of the audio jack sounding exactly the same?

What differences in software and hardware would cause this?
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
the main factor is the quality of the DAC (digital to analog converter) hardware. Software is basically pushing bits to this hardware and is of little effect. There are software solutions like WOW driver and equalizers to cover where hardware lacks but I personally prefer the plain sound.
[HD2 General] randommann:
See, i have been playing with the WOW driver and i just can't get it quite the same.

It's the strangest thing, but when i listen to music on the Ipod/Iphone i want to dance lol :p, but with the HD2 the the music just doesn't have that effect.

Of course this is a very subjective issue and I'm personally very disappointed that the HD2 could not be the one for me music wise, it certainly beats out the 3GS in many other ways.

I hope that when windows 7 is released with it's built in Zune player, the hardware offer plenty of people the audio experience they are looking for, with some being comparable to the Iphone.

Right now however I think I've got to make the switch back :(
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
It should be same. However I would be surprised. There are aspects which are hard to 'make same'. It's not that there is no amplifier. Even the jack needs some low-power amplifier. And every audio circuit has SOME characteristics. Frequency curve is never totally flat, especially bases can be cut off on this level. There can also be noises (some MP3 players are non-listenable because of noise), distortions for louder sounds (this can be also common problem of software equalizers), DA converters also incorporate low-pass filter for clipping the sampling frequency and above. In phone there is also problem of interference from transmitters.

Some of these characteristics are clearly audible and you immediately know what is going on. Some are subtle. You 'feel' the difference, but you can't tell what is different. Sometimes it is mere illusion. There are endless arguments on audiophiles forums about technologies which from scientific point of view can have no impact on audio, but some people swear they can hear the difference (things like golden power sockets, static charge removers for CDs, and so on).

So yeah .. it's ok, unless there is really obvious 'problem' with the sound.

In my HD2 there is no such problem. Compared to anything it does feel different, especially if you can directly compare it, but that is normal.
[HD2 General] schaffino:
It's funny you should mention this, as with my shure headphones i find the HD2 to blow my ipod touch out of the water in terms of sound quality. The audio booster i've found to also be the first equaliser i've truly thought improves sound quality to my preferences given the correct song. Shame with many roms it will only stay on for 1 song at a time.
[HD2 General] lude219:
You mean to tell me that different hardware produce different audio quality?!?!
[HD2 General] MAMeingast:
Of course!

If this weren't the case, then why would anyone ever buy a BOSE sound system instead of a cheap one?
