Thanks for the answer.I downloaded GPS test from market,but i am unable to understand how this app might fix my GPS.Does it run a test or something?All i can see is just some info about where sun is etc.At the moment i have my phone by the window with the app turned on.I will just wait like that to see if it will find any sattelite.

By the way,yesterday i installed a new ROM and i did a full wipe before (all but Dalvik Cache).Do i still need to reinstall ROM and Radio?

Thanks again Kendong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Why not the DalVik Cache? I assume a full wipe means to wipe the lot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheoKondak:
Today i followed step by step kendong2 advice and seems it kinda works.I got signal from some satellites by using Google Maps, and mobile maps 10, but that was just for 1 time.I just checked with Gps Test and getting signal from only one satellite.

I don't remember where exactly (i think it was in this forum) i read that we should not wipe DalVik Cache for some reasons.Well i guess it was inaccurate.I think i need to study what all those do by my shelf.

I hope on Froyo this music app will be better and support Lyrics and rating system then sync with iTunes ... Yahoo.....
[Desire General] DashingGentleman:
Yeah, the Android music player is pretty broken, and no third party replacement can provide the essential feature that is a lockscreen widget. The problems you outline are probably the main ones. I also really want lyric support and a more solid album artwork implementation. Lack of in-app music-specific search when I can choose search for music systemwide is just odd. Also (and this is bloody infuriating), there isn't always an option to go up the artist-album-song hierarchy. Overall a really half-baked player.

I really would have thought google would focus on a *solid* media player with integrated search, podcast + audiobook support. The Apple implementation of the music player is pretty damn tight (itunes syncing notwithstanding) - it's something google needs to compete with.
[Desire General] JonesWTF:
Cubed (a.k.a. 3) has a lockscreen widget. It's a fantastic player as well. I know this doesn't solve the problems with the stock player, but you might want to take a look :)
[Desire General] The_limit:
Full version of Mixzing media player supports this as well. I do not know about TuneWiki or Meridian media player. and yes, ALL of those players do not support genres nor album artists.

Also, as I mentioned, this fix seems to have been implented in the 4.2.0 Cyanogenmod, but has been taken out ever since (?)
[Desire General] DashingGentleman:
MrBadgerMilk, The_limit thanks a lot! I will definitely check these out (when my phone is back from repair :( ). I saw that TuneWiki, BeyondPod and a couple of other players I tried didn't have lockscreen controls, so I assumed it wasn't possible with Sense.

[THEME] Vanilla Lockscreen NON-Transparent Background

This has been discussed on other threads. It's simple to remove or delete the HtcLockScreen.apk to revert to the stock lock screen. The problem with most ROMs is that the stock lock screen has a transparent background and a clock. Most people do not like this because it clashes with the home screen clock. In addition, the HTC alarms do not work with the stock lockscreen.

I found a glitch in EE 2.0.1 that allowed a background and allowed you to set it with MetaMorph. I discovered after loading EE 3.0, it too had a transparent background when reverting to the stock lock screen. I did not like this at all so I set off on a mission to try and duplicate the glitch. I am happy to say I have found a solution! :D

EDIT: I have uploaded the new MM patch for this mod. This easy to use theme works on all ROMs (except Cyanogen based ROMs where this is not needed). The previous issue with Ivan's Official has been resolved. Fuzzy letters have been reported with the Aloysius ROMs.

Instructions:

1. Do a NAND backup first!!! I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone.

2. Download LockWallpaper.zip

3. If you like, change the wallpaper in the zip to your own

----- LockWallpaper.zip\framework-res\res\drawable-mdpi\create_contact.png

----- Must be a 320x480 PNG file named "create_contact.png" (all lowercase)

4. Push the zip file to your sdcard

5. Open MetaMorph and apply the theme.

Changing the wallpaper via MetaMorph:

1. Update the background in the theme by pushing a new create_contact.png file into the zip. (The file name MUST remain the same)

2. If you unzip and then re-zip make sure you do not use compression

3. Copy it back to your sd card

4. Install the theme from within MetaMorph

----- Use the 'Unzip/Extract new theme' option and tell MM to replace all the files

----- Apply the theme

5. It will more than likely reboot your phone when it is finished

6. Rinse and repeat

Thanks to jcase for the idea of removing the HTC lock screen apk file

Thanks to csstikman89 for the original lockscreen script

Thanks to everyone who tested this

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jgroover:
first try unsucessful

It Works!!! I almost was going to say it didn't but just had to be patient about 1 minute longer

I ran the batch file.. it went into reboot.. comes up on skateboard guys.. and then black screen.. i waited about 2 minutes and figured something was wrong. Pulled battery, powered on and skateboard guys again to black screen.. figured something was still wrong and i'd have to restore backup.. then all the sudden the phone woke up and bam! background on the lockscreen.

Just be a lil patient when it reboots.

Thanks again!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Yes, I was watching the logcat and noticed it seems to rebuild the cache on reboot. It only happens with the first script though. That does not happen when you use Metamorph to change the wallpaper.

Just tried this on XTRRom 2.0 and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for this.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] KacieB:
Semi-n00b here. Can't get this to work...what am I doing wrong? I am following the instructions in the op and decided I liked the wallpaper that's already included so I didn't add any additional files to the wallpaper folder. When I double-click on the START-SCRIPT.bat file I get a windows pop-up that says "Windows cannot find './Tools/adb'. Make sure you typed the file name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

What am I doing wrong? The phone is not currently active on Verizon's network as I'm testing a LG Ally...could that have anything to do with it? I really want a new lockscreen!!!

Any help appreciated.

NVM: not sure what I did but I redownloaded/extracted the zip folder and now it's working.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] KacieB:
Well...I'm still doing something wrong because the wallpaper didn't change. After I executed the file and it rebooted the phone it came up with the correct lockscreen but the background is like, buttons or something. Not the "dots" from the photo. I tried adding my own .jpg to the wallpaper folders and executing it again. No luck. Tried deleting the .jpg that was there in case it was causing a conflict and still no luck. So...I've got the lockscreen but an ugly wallpaper. :( :( :(
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
It sounds like your wallpaper did not get loaded. Try the Metamorph theme. It should fix your problem.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] KacieB:
Tried the Metamorph theme, first it made me download AndExplorer - a separate program...when I click on the EE.zip folder using AndExplorer thru MetaMorph I get an error that says: "theme control file missing."
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] KacieB:
If I don't add a wallpaper to the extracted files the lockscreen should show up with the "dot" theme like the screenshot above, correct? When I browse out to the wallpaper folder that is the file that's already there. Not sure why I would be getting the "button" theme. So confused...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Download Metamorph 1.9.8.6 from the Market. You are using an old version. Also, do not rename the zip file.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] KacieB:
Beautiful! That worked. Thanks for your help - much appreciated. :o

Re: [THEME] Vanilla Lockscreen NON-Transparent Background [06/04/2010]

Not that long. It should reboot or ask you to reboot itself. Try tapping the home key to see if your phone is responding. If your phone is locked, send it a rebootcommand.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Re: [THEME] Vanilla Lockscreen NON-Transparent Background [06/04/2010]

This is not a flashable zip. It's pretty simple, though. Just unzip the first script, keep the included background or replace with your own and execute the included .bat file. No need to understand or type commands.

Then to change the background in the future, use the metamorph theme.

Sorry, I have no way of making this for a Mac. There is a Linux version of the script if that would help.

Do i have to to the metamorph step? Or is that optional?

I did everything execept the metamorph step, but i get this blurry backround...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
The MetaMorph step is only if you want to change your wallpaper after you have done the first step. If you have that button background, that means the script worked, but it did not apply your background from some reason. If you apply the MM theme, it will fix it.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] cableguynoe:
I got this to work with MM, but would like to change the picture again. Does the picture in the EE theme zip also have to be 320x480?

It says this in the first step, but not in the second using MM, so i just want to be sure if i have to resize my pictures.

Also, this is my first time using MM.

What other uses does it have? Or what other themes are out there that I can try out?

I'm a little confused about how it works... even though i got it to work:rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Your background will be stretched to fit if it is not 320x480. MM is used to theme your phone, but has other uses. You can load any theme you find out there. Just do a backup, because they can cause your phone to boot loop or may break important applications like your dialer, launcher or the Market. A lot of themes are specific to a single ROM.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Nomad145:
I absolutely love this update, but when a call comes in it uses the old HTC pull down screen. I haven't had a chance to mess with a phone that uses the other method to see if I could pull something, but is there already a fix for this?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
I did not write the script, but apparently it is buggy. Run this code to fix it.

adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/HtcLockScreen.bak

If you have an .odex file then this too.

adb shell mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex.bak

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Re: [THEME] Vanilla Lockscreen NON-Transparent Background [06/04/2010]

This will not work with every ROM as is unfortunately. It involves patching a specific part of the framework and I never spent the time looking for the piece of code that handles it. Thus, this replaces the whole lot.

To remove the patch, you will have to flash back to one of your backups.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
It's an odd effect that this is having on the Market with Ivan's Official Eris 1.0 ROM. I'm not sure why, but it somehow must have to do with the keyguard layouts as this is all that gets replaced.

I have been meaning to do this for a while but keep getting sidetracked. Try this new MetaMorph theme. It's an all-in-one deal so no need to run that weird script anymore. I also removed a couple other items that I do not think are needed and may have been causing the Market crashes. I don't have my Eris anymore :( so if someone can try this out and report back, that would be great.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ttran97:
Metamorph always says that I don't have enough free space so it can't install some files. That's weird because I barely have any apps...like 10. So I guess I have to stick with the original method for now.

Is there any way I can go in with Root explorer and just copy over a different picture after I initially run the bat file? That way, I won't need to be near my computer just to change my lockscreen picture. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CaddymanLNL:
i have tried every possiblew way to change this wallpaper to my own and nothing has worked....im bummed :(
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] PPCGeek01:
The "not enough free space" issue is with there not being enough space in the system folder. If you're using Ivan's Eris Rom, there's not a lot of free space left to make changes in, which is the problem I ran into when I changed my lockscreen.

Just remove apps from the /system/app folder (apps you don't need or can easily reinstall/push back later) until you have enough free space to work with.

Tip: You can check your System free space with Root Explorer or by using these commands on your computer:

adb shell
df
exit
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ttran97:
I'm running Senseable 3 and I've gone through my system\app folder and erased a few things. I have 21 megs available, and Metamorph still doesn't install.
