I'm in the same boat... seems that the left half of the taskbar is not responding to anything... Everything to the left side of the red line is non-respondant. When I disable Sense, everything works fine... Same as when I use the windows hardkey...

I'm running Energy.TOPAZ.23569.Sense2.5.MaxSense.UI.Jun.27 on an AT&T Pure.

@ DAP420, Did everything work for you prior to loading up the Win7 Theme? Are you also running 23569 or are you running 21907?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny26:
Evening one and all...

Am looking for some help with rooting my Orange UK HTC desire. Have tried many times to root the device but as the radio keeps gettin upgraded I keep gettin the network locked message once rebooted.

Can.someone please give me detailed instructions on how to root the device without upgrading the radio as I really don't have a clue. Have managed each time to downgrade the radio and flash back to generic rom, am however wanting to root the device.

Many thanks for any advice you can give me.

Danny ;-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
are you trying to root or unlock your fone? :confused: even if you root and debrand your desire it will still be simlocked to orange :rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny26:
Just want to root it mate. Not interested in unlocking as I am on Orange and not planning to change.

Cheers mate
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
easy way to root

1) download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?hzeke0niozm

2) copy file to sd card

3) put sd card in fone

4) put fone in recovery

5) choose flash zip from sd card

6) pick rootedupdate.zip

7) wait to complete

8) rooted lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny26:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acolwill:
You'll need to use a goldcard root an orange branded desire, without it, the flash will fail.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlgee:
This.

Follow Paul's r6 method from http://desire.modaco.com its the easiest way possible IMO.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
He must already have a goldcard if you look as he says he has already downgraded to a generic rom :rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlgee:
Just look for a ROM that states 'no radio's in the title, that way it'll keep your current working radio.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekromantik:
yes.

DO not upgrade radio unless your phone is unlocked.

All custom ROMs here on XDA do not contain radio's so you should be fine just flashing a new ROM after you have rooted. Changing the radio is a optional step if you are unlocked or not on Orange.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksekhar:
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to push Froyo Camera on Desire ROM? I started liking Froyo camera more and more as it is better than Desire Camera (i am using MCR desire 22.1 and tried Rodrige's 2.7fix version ROM).

Here is the link for Froyo camera http ://dl.dropbox.com/u/5828026/CameraGoogle.apk (got it off from droid forums).

I tried pushing it into /system/app and also tried busybox install. But no luck.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayman07:
not yet on froyo. paul was able to make the desire cam work on other 2.1 roms, since the htc apps usually need the sense framework. im sure once people have properly looked at the source of 2.2 and cyanogen has had time to do some work, then we will see it happen. just not right now. be patient. hope that helps.

[Windows Phone 7 General] techSage:
I think that Microsoft should do their best to have games on Windows Phone 7 that tie-in to existing Xbox 360 games or Games for Windows to allow you to earn or accomplish something in the console or PC game or earn Xbox Live avatar items or similar items or even unlock features in the console game. It might just be more like a series of minigames depending on the type of game. For example, for Halo you might be able to customize your in-game character whereas for slower paced games that might work better on a phone, you might have much more interaction more related to the game. Imagine being able to give your kid something to do in a grocery store or in the car to occupy them - maybe they could get their pet from Kinectimals and care for it, advancing their progress in the game. I know that Microsoft is pushing to make WP7 a player in the mobile gaming industry and I know that it would certainly drive sales of WP7 devices if they could motivate gamers to buy them if they could earn things in Xbox 360 games exclusively by having a Windows Phone 7 device and the Windows Phone Tie-in game.

If you like this idea and want to see Microsoft make it happen, VOTE please, and VOTE every day if you can since you are allowed to. You can also share the link to the voting page and that will help even more. Thanks for your time & support!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
There's a separate topic for the competition, just so you know.

But I thought Microsoft already planed to tie in the phone with the XBox, seeing they said it would be over the same account as xbox/zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Helmore:
They do. There might even be X-Box 360 or PC games where you have an add-on/extra WP7 game where you can obtain some extra gamer-scores and stuff like that. I'm not sure how far the integration will eventually go, but they even showed an example of starting a game on your PC, then continuing that same game on your phone and to then finish it on your X-Box 360. This game had 90% of it's code shared by the 3 versions for the X-Box, PC and phone. They showed it as an example, but they specifically mentioned that it was just a proof of concept and something like that will not happen initially, maybe at some later stage. There at least are obvious plans for some integration and cooperation between games for WP7 and for on the X-Box and PC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] techSage:
Oh, there is? Sorry. MS said that you could login to Xbox Live and have games that you could earn achievements in, but I never heard them say that you could have the games be related to console/PC games in that they could be used to unlock things in that console/PC game. I certainly heard nothing like the depth of interaction that I described with Halo or Kinectimals that would engage gamers to higher level than just also having games that run on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Something like this would have to be up to the software developer...not Microsoft. Maybe, MS's own games will have this functionality.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Granted Microsoft provides a API for it!

But give it time. Try look at how the iPhone API developed the last 4 years. If Microsoft can get success with the WP7, we'll have superb APIs for things like this and more in no time.

Microsoft is about one of the only companies that really cares about their developers. Nobody managed to make a community like MSDN before or after.
[Windows Phone 7 General] techSage:
Not initially. Do you forget that they have their own game company: Microsoft Game Studios and own several companies that they bought for it AND own the Halo franchise? They could kick-start the movement by doing it for their own games and also engage the developers and help them to make it happen. This happens very often with Microsoft and is one of the reasons they are successful over the long term.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] felikz:
hi guys,

i hope this is the correct section in the forum. I have a question concerning to an application some friends and me are developing currently. We have class which extends View.

Now, in regular intervals, this View object (which is a subcomponent in an Activity using Relative Layout) has to be refreshed. The refresh itself is done by mView.postInvalidate in a background thread (lets say, every 300ms). The problem we noticed is, that the postInvalidate() as well as the invalidate() (which we could use if the UI Thread would call it) do NOT force a refresh (thus, calling onDraw(canvas)) immediately! Unfortunately, the view is only updated every 1-3rd second..

Does anyone of you have an idea, how to force an android view, to refresh immediately?

Thanks,

Felix

you are placing this inside a specific _device_ development forum. It are mostly ROM builders (and users) you are going to find here.

Place questions about app-developing in the genera Android dev forums here on XDA, that's where all the app builders / hackers are :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkurry:
I just saw an interesting thread in the development section that explains an alternative to the Death SPL. The method there lets you flash ANY rom on any SPL, but I dont really understand how it works.

The thread can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=704560

So basically, you shrink the cache partition to allow for more room for the actual ROM(which partition does that go in?)?

To do this do we edit the boot.img in the ROM update.zip? What else do we do?

Could someone explain this in a way a 9th grader could understand?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Take file by firerat, flash file. omgroflpartitons.

If you don't understand the instructions as they are, wait for it to be perfected before you try anything. This will probably end up being integrated into releases that need it, so you don't need to worry about the specifics at the moment.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkurry:
Will that patch file work for all ROMs. He said its only been tested with CyanogenMod 5. And I want to understand what im doing, not just do it without thinking about it...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkurry:
Also, does the recovery patcher decrease the size of the partition that holds the recovery image?

Does it permanently change the size of the recovery partition?

When you flash a ROM, what partition is it being flashed too? Is this the one being increased in size?

What does the boot.img in an update.zip package hold, and is that copied to the boot partition?

Sorry but my curiosity is killing me :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
OK well to break it down we have 6 partitions on the internal memory:

Misc - Here be dragons

Recovery - Contains recovery system (+seperate recovery kernel) - recovery.img lives here

Boot - Contains kernel & important initialization stuff - boot.img lives here

-------------

System - Contains the whole android system (the "ROM", if you like).. everything else from an update.zip apart from the boot.img

Cache - Used by system and recovery for temporary storage

Userdata - Contains all personal data, downloaded apps, settings etc.

The first three partitions must be left at the default size so don't worry about them.

What this patch does is pass a command to the kernel which remaps the 3 large partitions at boot time. Since we're flashing system images from recovery, we also need to pass the same command to the recovery kernel before attempting to flash the main system, or we'd be writing to one place then telling the kernel to look for it in another.. bad idea.

This method allows any partition setup you like, but the most useful at the moment (and this is the way firerat has set up his scripts to suit cm5) is to make the /system partition just the right size for the "ROM" with a bit of breathing space, make the /cache partition a minimal size for the recovery system to use, then have /userdata fill the remaining space so we can load it up with apps. Since we've reduced cache to a minimal size, it's redirected at boot time to a place on the sdcard instead.. this give us maximum space to divide between /system and /data with no wastage.

Does that help at all..?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkurry:
Thanks dude. That does help a lot.

Just wondering though, how much breathing space do u need in the system partition?

What does the recovery system use the cache partition for and how do we know what "a minimal size for the recovery system to use" is?

Is it possible to reduce the userdata partition to the minimum possible size a partition can be(if i recall correctly it was 128kb) and use an ext partition on your SD card instead?

If we shrink the Cache partition a lot, does this mean we have to use linux swap to compensate for the lowered amount of cache?

Also do we have to remap the partitions every time we flash a new ROM?

And what are the "dragons"?

If i use market version launcher Pro it take lot more like 6-9seconds enter to call log. Roll out contact shortcut is faster on adw then LP too.I try it on a lot different roms so i think it is about launcher not rom.I like to enter contacts really fast. Is it becouse of LauncherPro is not system app?

Is there any way to decrease delay entering call log?
