any possibilities to theme Sense? As i know it's possible on WinMo, can it be done on android?
[Desire Themes and Apps] DerZombie:
@ Lavi

you missunderstand me (?? is this word right), i know Helxi Launcher is a sperat launcher but i wont to skin or something else the sense launcher to get the bottom bar from helix in the sense launcher.

I think Naz Abdm know what I will
[Desire Themes and Apps] [DNMR]Lavi:
ah yeah, I slight misread; excuses.

I don't know if it's possible to skin Sense, afaik not. At least; I haven't found anything yet...
[Desire Themes and Apps] PaoloWeckl:
i would like to install some transparency just as in the HD2 sense
[Desire Themes and Apps] pina_:
Since HTC Sense is some kind of launcher, and the alternative launchers do have an APK-file, it should be possible to customize HTC Sense in one war or another. If you could get the .apk file of the HTC Sense, then you should be able to customize some stuff
[Desire Themes and Apps] djosiah:
you cant edit the xmls of sense as the source is not available so as far as im aware you cant really change much apart from the images. so transparency is an option :)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbobbers:
One of my co-workers just got an HTC Droid Incredible. I kind of talked up the 'corporate directory' feature that I have on my HTC Hero CDMA (Sprint) and we can't seem to get his phone to be able to search our corporate directory and show phone numbers. I'm not sure what the software difference is between these two phones really, they both are HTC and they both are SenseUI so the Incredible ought be capable of at least as much as my little Hero right?

Anyhow, here's the steps that work for me, if anyone can shed some light on how we can get this rolling on the incredible let me know!

A. Requires an Exchange/Activesync account setup within android's 'Accounts and sync' Dialog. (I choose to sync calendar and email only, not contacts).

B. Once syncing is working well, just go to the "People" App, press the Menu button, then pick "Corporate Directory"

C. Search the directory for an individual, and view their contact information, my Hero is able to show the telephone number in addition to the name and email address however his incredible only shows the e-mail. This is true whether he is syncing contacts with the phone or not. We are both hitting the same corporate servers with the same account settings but getting different results. If you think our IT department will be of any help, you would be mistaken as they are clueless.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance all for your input!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] photonmedia:
I can confirm that y Incredible ONLY shows name and email contact info in the Corporate Directory. This is a BIG pain for me coming from the Droid with the "Corporate Directory" app that showed all the info.

Also back in the days when I was running SenseUI on my G1, I remember the built-in directory showed phone numbers as well. I wonder why the version on the Incredible fails here.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deekjx:
I can pull name email and phone numbers on mine. I did apply the latest update, so that may have something to do with it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] photonmedia:
I have received the latest update as well. But I only get names and emails when I search...weird.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbobbers:
Thanks for confirming that I'm not alone with the inconsistencies *bangs head against wall.

Anyone have any ideas for a solution to this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbobbers:

Wondering if anyone else can confirm/deny this as I'm trying to figure out what might be causing the problem... thanks for your help all!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crupp:
I had a similiar problem. I installed Touchdown and now have full access to phone, email, and address. We are using an exchange 2003 server not sure if that has anything to do with it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbobbers:
Touchdown looks interesting but $20 for a feature that ought to work is a bit odd doncha think? Same goes for rooting the device, I mean, HTC Sense running on Android 2.1 ought to be close enough right? Should I have my co-worker lodge a complaint with HTC and/or Verizon on this one? It seems a bit off to me that this works for me and not for him, even though we have 2 different phones...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnlockie:
same here...

I have the same issue.

Exchange 2003 Enterprise, Global Address Book lookup works on every other device we have here including other Android devices. But myself and another person here who have Incredibles cannot do Company Directory (GAL) lookup.

I am suspecting that this is an application layer issue. This is my one major complaint about Android phones. Every hardware vendor has their own code layer on top of the operating system, and they tend to mess things up like this. Why else would HTC phones not hand the phone number to you other than they just jacked up their implementation of Android....

I am running latest firmware (2.1-update1), and software 1.22.605.2

[edit] We can look up people in the company directory, but the results are name and email only. No address, phone number, etc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmk40:
This is fixed in the 2.2 leaks. So once it's final it should be sorted for everyone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnlockie:
Do we konw if this is affecting everyone with an Incredible, or only people running a certain version of Exchange?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Email and phone number access is a priority to me. without it, not worth much.

The default app didn't work on the Dinc when I got it. It also has some other quirks related to searching etc...

Use Touchdown. Makes the phone complete.

Cost $20 but the phone is useless to me without so $20 is the same as a case, screen protector, or any other app I buy to get something I want.

Apparently the upcoming OTA will fix this issue, but there were more than that as an issue..

Gingerbread Corporate directory

Could someone say if corporate directory is implemented in Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 ?
[General Questions and Answers] xudsa II USERT:
Hi, I'm trying out developing for my O2 Flame and was wondering if I could use the GNU GCC Compiler for compiling my programs, as I do not have the money for Visual C++ or something like that. If the GCC Compiler can't, can anybody recommend me a free compiler, Thanks in advanced.
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
You can use the free version of Embedded Visual C++ 4.0, although it was originally designed for development for WM 2003. If you limit the main menu to two items then WM 5.0 onwards will display the program correctly with the buttons either side of the SIP. Any more, and it switches back to the WM2003 style command bar.

For C++ you can develop in the Win32, ATL or MFC models.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Don't forget to apply SP4 to it after install. (Same page, use the link at the bottom)

It also uses an earlier WM2003 emulator that runs a half way x86/Arm code setup. It works, but the standalone emulator manager with the relevant WinMo SDK does a better job. You will only be able to fully debug the code created in by EVC 4, in its own WM2003 emulator or on a real device, not in the standalone emulator. The standalone emulator images will run your code so you can test it, but you cannot set breakpoints, examine variables. etc.

If you want to develop stuff for GPS, then you may have to add the relevent headers and lib files from later versions of the SDKs

The GNU compiler can be made to work, but I have never tried it.

I was just wondering...

is there a way to overclock your htc Hero??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powers16:
Yes thru test/Not fully working roms in the developer section. Beware though you will not have a fully working phone e.g Camera, light sensors. but i know they got the speed of the processor to go like 700 something.. good luck

*edit** look for roms that specify overclock and full scaling** other than that im too lazy to give you specifics.

Hello everyone,

I have seen news talkin about Orkut application for Android device, i can't seem to find it on the market, even with the market V2 patch, and can't find on the web the .apk, there is someone who has it, and would he be so nice to share it with everyone?

[Hero CDMA General] spigen:
Ever since I've rooted and have flashed new custom Roms onto my Hero. A couple things have happened. The phone works fine, runs great expect for "My facebook" account not syncing with my phone. It did when i had the stock rom on it. I've tried different roms, but I'll I get is these two errors when I try and sync my contacts. My picture shows up at the top of my phone book, but no one elses gets linked.

Then I read in some forums to try other facebook accounts. So I tried my friends and her sync right up and started to download contacts pictures.....what is the deal?

How can the phone possible know the difference between facebook accounts.

any help?
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
The only problem I ever had was with facebook not syncing up correctly and it only happened once. I just went into the phone settings and deleted the account and readded it.

You might want to also try going into facebook from a webpage and clicking on Account -> Application Settings

Select Authorized from the drop down and then delete anything that says Facebook for Android or HTC Sense.

You may have multiple listings or the permissions might have gotten messed up. Deleting them will force the permissions to be re-established.
[Hero CDMA General] bankaisnake:
i get the exact same errors and this is the only thing that's haunting me about 2.1 so far with these ROMs. I'm gonna try the guy above me method. hopefully this works!
[Hero CDMA General] bankaisnake:
can you clarify in more detail on these steps? i went to facebook on the web and couldn't find those settings. i wish to complete this with successful results! mind being a bit more detailed? thx in advance
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
On the right hand side on facebook you will see ACCOUNT

Click on Account and select APPLICATION SETTINGS

Then on the application settings page there will be a drop down box with the title Show: select AUTHORIZED

Then you will have a page with your authorized applications. They are organized by category so you might have to click on the category to expand that section.

In the APPLICATIONS ON FACEBOOK category there will be FACEBOOK FOR ANDROID.

You might have several listings for Facebook for Android. On the far right of the row it is on there is an X.

Click on the x and click REMOVE on the popup.

Do this for every listing of Facebook For Android

Next go to the category DESKTOP APPLICATION.

You will see an entry or entries for HTC SENSE

On the far right of the row HTC Sense is on will be an X

Click on the X and select REMOVE on the popup.

Do this for every listing of HTC Sense

Then go into your phone and re-setup the accounts.
[Hero CDMA General] MrDanger:
I had this error. My problem was that I had too many friends and caused it to crash while loading. I had 3,000+. I think it started to act up around 2,000
[Hero CDMA General] beyondinferno:
Also, if you have trouble with anything listed so far try this.

Run Logcat and sync manually in Accounts and Sync.

Watch logcat for com.htc.bg died.

If you are using a rom with the internal task killing mod (autokiller and dconfig also) set the task killer back to stock and then sync.

I've noticed this in the past that the taskkiller when set above normal will kill com.htc.bg while you're syncing. AFAIK, there is no way to change the process' "importance" or make the taskkiller ignore this prosses, but this is a verified work-around.
[Hero CDMA General] bankaisnake:
i think this was my problem as well. on other forums others were saying they had 300 friends only and their contacts synced up nicely. me on the other hand have 2000+ friends and about five min in that's when that damn com.htc.bg comes up and i have to force close it. :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] spigen:
well I went into my facebook account settings, found what you where talking about. There was multiplies of the htc sense and other. So i removed my account from my phone, deleted the applications on my facebook. Logged out of facebook, removed it from my phone. Re tried....no luck.

So I went back to my facebook account. Deleted the htc sense. wiped my phone, flashed a fresh rom. skipped the set up. Synced my contacts. and then tried to sync with htc sense. No luck. plugged in my friends facebook account, synced right up within seconds....

whats the deal?
[Hero CDMA General] bankaisnake:
wow! that makes me not even wanna try! you did all that and still no results! what ROM are you on??
[Hero CDMA General] spigen:
Damagecontrol v1, damagecontrol sprintupdate2, fresh rom 2.0d, fresh rom's newest one....it all continues to do the same.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
thats prolly because peep.

try to disable peep auto update. get autokiller from the market and kill com.htc.bg and bgp. fixed it for me.

those two brought my rom and oc kernel to a complete death crawl
[Hero CDMA General] spigen:
I don't use peep. com.htc.bg and bgp failures happen whenever I try and sync. Doesn't work either if I kill them before I try and sync.
[Hero CDMA General] spigen:
I've come to the conclusion it has to be something to deal with my facebook account. The only thing "facebook sync sense" syncs with is my (name, birthday and profile pic) nothing else. But if remove my account and replace it with my friends it sync perfectly fine. Any ideas?

oh yeah it synced perfectly fine with my account back when I had the phone stock with android 1.5
[Hero CDMA General] spigen:
found the problem. If your facebook account has a symbol in it, like mine is Irish and has a " ' " take it out save facebook. Then uninstall from phone, re sync to phone. Works. how stupid.
[Hero CDMA General] RPerry435:
VERY ANNOYING

I Have to FORCE close on on those 2 constantly. there has to be a reason for it

SOMEONE SOLVE THIS...

my fb has no symbols, i can open then close fb without them starting. its totally random when they come on
[Hero CDMA General] spigen:
It's very strange, from what I gather is that the errors appear when facebook sync is unable to sync because of it not being correctly connected with your account.

Since I've deleted the ' in my last name on my facebook account and re-added facebook sense to my phone, it synced up and downloaded all 370 contacts to my phone within a couple minutes. I've also had zero errors, etc...
[Hero CDMA General] bankaisnake:
we were having the same problems to the T!! now your facebook works simply because you deleted a ' from your account name?!?!

i don't have no symbols and i followed all the other steps as well about removing the facebook htc sense from facebook and all the above. haven't tried the peep since i do use it but how do you kill the btp and bg???
[Hero CDMA General] airtas:
any fix to this?
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
The problem I'm having is the com.htc.bg process stays open when sycning calendar. This causes obex service to constantly run and keeps the phone from sleeping. I have yet to find a fix for this besides killing the obex process manually.

Which is one thing I very much dislike, .9's

So I won't be able to add that back until I do some major revamping so my status bar, right?

I mean, I've seen the buuf theme and it has .9's that don't look like they can be streched and retain the non-distorted quality of the original file but I have tried to do that and even use some of those images and it's never a great turnout...

Maybe I'm just picky, but I don't like the the way "Droid" is becoming the defacto name for all Android phones thanks to Verizon's add campaigns. It's like calling any old mp3 player an iPod, even though it's a Zune or a Sansa. I just feel the need to correct people when they ask what kind of phone I have, and I tell them it's a Nexus One, they say "Huh", then I explain it's and Android phone, and then they're like "Oh, you mean a Droid", and then I have to correct with "no, AAANNNdroid, not just Droid".

[Nexus One General] miketlo:
I really dont like the Droid name or add campaign. Some of the (Moto) Droid users are super annoying fanboys like the apple ones. Most of them barely know how to use a smartphone and the Droid might even be their first. And all the "Droid" apps just confuse people because its slightly misleading. Apps might work for the Droid only or all of Android. But the most annoying thing is when I hear "Droid does", its just annoying. I don't correct people calling my N1 a droid to just Android, I add call it the Google Phone.
[Nexus One General] garfnodie:
I would do the same thing with my grandmother as well, correcting some people wouldn't do any good. I guess the one thing that really got me, was when my roommate called my phone a "Droid". He's a geek like me, not as tech savvy, but a huge gamer (PC, console, whatever), and we he called my phone a "Droid", it bothered me really bad and I had to correct him.

It's stupid though when you thing about it (yes, I'm admitting my own annoyance is stupid), cause there are many other thing I call by the excepted name and not their official name as well. Examples would be, Kleenex(facial tissue), Weedeater(weed trimmer), Cresent Wrench(open end adjustable wrench). All these things are actually a specific brand of something, but I came to call them all by that name long before I even knew that was not their technical name. I have to wonder if I would have had the same problem with all of them if I were alive back when those brands had came out and people started calling them by that name?
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
As a phone I do not like the droid due to the keyboard but as a marketing tool to get Android OS out there its been great!

You guys are lucky that people around you know what android or droid is. Here where I live, when I tell people that I'm getting a Nexus One, they're like,"Man!! never heard of it.

[Nexus One General] maxawesome:
Every time you hear a "Droid" commercial, George Lucas gets paid. :)

Verizon has to pay a royalty to LucasFilms Ltd. to use the name "Droid". I just find that funny.

I'm hoping the next HTC superphone for Android will be the HTC R2D2 or something ridiculously blatant like that.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I hate it because it is very confusing... Verizon has the Droid, Droid Eris, Droid Incredible, and so forth... so you can't distinguish any of them.

Plus, it is just annoying that Verizon is essentially "taking ownership" of Android, in an odd way... I hate Verizon. Hate them. Have I mentioned my hate for Verizon?
[Nexus One General] doctajay:
Yeah, when I showed someone my n1 and told them its an android phone, they gasped because they couldn't believe that I switched to verzion. I had to correct them on the diff between droid and android, but in hindsight, it was a waste of time. Either way, the more advertisements out there can only help android's visibility, because Google seems incapable of advertising its products.
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:

[Nexus One General] air2k57:
Don't really mind as it benefits all Android users. look at how much more exposure OS has gotten, how many more apps we get. whatever helps, so long that they do not make Droid only apps, I am good. Android is not nearly as catchy as the Droid, and Verizon really wanted this thing to take off. guess what, it did! as much as I do not like them for their crappy rates and ridiculous fees, I do appreciate what they have done to Android.
