I've been looking around on the forum and googling for a while for an application like this. But would anyone mind creating an application where when we lock the phone we can still change the music and shows what song is playing. I get tired of unlocking my phone just to change my music.

Much gratitude!

Hi mykewillz48,

I agree with shu8i. Use Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5 .

It will do what you want perfectly and is probably the best app available.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aurelien hd2:
i'm ok with DINIK, Cookie home tab 1.8.5 is excellent ! and you can listening your music in lockscreen. but you can't change album or (my selection) when you are in lockscreen, play, stop, next ect... it' ok
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shum97:
Yip, Cookie all the way!! Its ace changing music on lock screen:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mykewillz48:
I really don't want to flash my HD2 i'm not very good with things like that. If there isn't just a cab file to do it, I probably would just deal with it. I like how my phone is besides a few things. Maybe in the future I would want to flash it but right now I like mos things about my phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] d3l1:
CHT is just a cab you install. Preferably make a backup of your phone, just in case because you never know. After installing CHT you just restart the phone and can customize everything. You should install CHTEditor of course!

btw is anybody expierencing the fact that, if you put the music player on the lock screen, sometimes when you unlock the phone it seems like it has played a few tracks on it's own? Sometimes I see that I'm 3 or 4 tracks ahead in the middle of another track without actually doing that. somebody else who had that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chrisrj28:
Yeah Cookie Lock is awesome, I missed that option from Android with Sense. You can adjust the size of the player and everything
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] btld_ls1:
Is there an application that will allow music player on the lock screen and will also allow for a passcode?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CasualStarlord:
I would kill for a good program that does this... cookies always crashes on me and either unlocks when it shouldn't or wont unlock when it should, or just gives me a sleep of death and becomes unresponsive... it's annoying because it looks awesome and I want to use it...

(tab hangup and answer a few times whilst the phone is locked and you can make a call to the first person on your recent call lists without touching the slider onscreen to unlock... which was happening to me in my pocket, also occasionally I would hit the hangup key to unlock it and the home screen would just appear, not even trying to lock the screen :( )

S2U2 does it if you have S2P installed but I find S2U2 blows through my battery really fast for some reason... and my system regularly becomes unresponsive.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1strank:
I bought a G1 from USA and I have it unlocked here. A month ago went to Taiwan to travel and I noticed that my phone's battery could last FOREVER. I remember MANY times I have my phone on standby for like 6-10 hours and I still have over 90% battery..but in the US if I leave it on standby for 6-10 hours my battery is already half way done..anyone know what could be the reason for this? I did not change anything other than the SIM card...no other settings were changed..One thing I notice that is difference is that in the US there is the "Edge" icon next to the bar moving but in Taiwan only reception bar no "edge" icon
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
Because you have no data connection in taiwan. Usually using no data saves your battery!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1strank:
I have no data plan for my g1 even for US. It just shows that I have edge connection for some reason but in reality i don't have data plan..and I can't get on the web in here..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aznneedlovetoo:
You probably had less apps running in the background at the time when your phone was on standby in Taiwan. Hope that makes sense to you :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
1) No data = better battery.

2) Better COVERAGE = better battery.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1strank:
Naw I have exactly same number have app running when I'm in Taiwan..I didn't install or uninstall any app while I was traveling..this is just plain weird..I even tried changing my APN to like random letters but that doesn't improve battery at all..is there anyway to get that "Edge" icon on my g1 in the states?..I'm talking about that "Edge" icon with 2 arrows with 1 pointing up and 1 pointing down..that icon could be "3g" but I have 3g disabled..again I have no data plan to begin with..but I'm assuming my phone is TRYING to get data from tmobile's APN ...I don't know. Thanks for the help
[Desire General] greendookie:
Hi,

I just got a used P1i about a week ago and noticed the SMS timing problem right away. What I did to solve the problem was to set my home zone to Vancouver( i live in Vancouver and currently on Fido network), zone of interest to Reykjavik and finally set the current time zone to Buenos Aires. Once everything is set, then i manually adjust the time and date to Vancouver time.

My phone works fine for me now. Hope this will help you too.

cheers

[Desire General] cmonthegas:
Hey guys,

Steve Kondik (Cyanogen) has posted an update on his twitter saying that he intends CyanogenMod6 to come to eight devices with the Desire being one of them. This is brilliant news in my opinion to have the Cyanogen team on our books.

http://twitter.com/cyanogen/status/16867767987
[Desire General] dnlgee:
What does CM offer over/above MCR or other custom chefs? Curious, as new to the scene.
[Desire General] fxone:
He is the godfather of Rom cocking
[Desire General] dnlgee:
Lol thanks for that but I'm still none-the-wiser. What makes CM so good compared to the rest?
[Desire General] subz85:
Nice to see another skilled dev in the kitchen showing some love to the Desire.
[Desire General] behnaam:
guess who's going responsible for it? hmm :rolleyes:
[Desire General] MrPaveL:
hmm, maybe Mr. charming Beno? ;-)
[Desire General] Kali-:
:D

[Desire General] DJGibbon:
Assuming you meant cooking, I think JesusFreke and Haykuro would have something to say about that ;)

He's definitely the main man now, though - can't wait to get some CM on my Desire!
[Desire General] fxone:
Yeah thats Right, it gives many good cooker, but i find he brings over the years ever updates for his roms. :)
[Desire General] hensk:
one more dev on Desire section ,is welcome
[Desire General] brianius:
"CM6 final for Desire with fixed "no service" issue will be up tomorrow :)"

WHHHHAAAHAAAAHAAAAATTTT???? :eek:

[Desire General] Ireas:
The "special" about Cyanogen is, that they build their ROMs from the AOSP git. And as the AOSP is an open source project, they build quite many patches on their own~
[Desire General] MaTiCeK-:
But can we expect video recording to work and having no echo? I'm afraid not, as CM5 also has this issues.
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
I am shure CyanogenMod 6 will have all those echo and video problems fixed.

Beno already fixed videorecording on 5.0.8 AFAIK... but now 6.0 has priority! :D
[Desire General] dixonl90:
Looking forward to it! Great work guys!
[Desire General] ph0rce:
I can confirm that Video Recording is fixed on the latest 5.0.8, just waiting for the network issue to be finished & this will be the ROM for me! :D
[Desire General] Cuchulainx:
Is that @ 720p though?
[Desire General] MaTiCeK-:
Great news, I was looking at the release notes and known bugs. Haven't actually tested the ROM.
[Desire General] wallah:
Awsome

Whaouuuu, as huge news !! First of all thank you for sharing this news and I look forward to putting this rom on my HTC !!

And thank you to you Cyanogen !!!!
[Desire General] Pyr0x64:
No,

there will be no 720p without a new radio for the desire
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
Can't wait to test the CM 6.0. I have a feeling it will come today :D

EDiT: Or not... first test releases of CM 6.0 will come for Nexus One and Droid --> http://twitter.com/cyanogen/status/16913507497
[Desire General] lambrospower:
i am looking forward to this one too.....i was about to try the 5.0.7 but i want video rec.

i hope this will be my first stock android rom
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
So can someone in lamans terms explain why this ROM is so good ?
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
i been waiting for the no network issue to be fixed before I flashed CM 5.0.9 but now 6 is around the corner il wait for 6 :)

good job guys
[Desire General] dixonl90:
One key advantage is that FroYo ROMs at the moment cannot video record. This one will solve that issue.
[Desire General] trashpants:
I know its a bit much but theres videos of their IO conference day where they explain everything that it does (its more than 1 video, but heres the start one)

youtube.com/watch?v=89xc_1Vv69k
[Desire General] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
CM5 has not been built from source specifically for the desire, it has only been ported. The team will build a working rom from source. The CM roms are always well put together and have allot of additional tweaks that make them really fast and stable.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
yup as they are building it from source it means there wont be many bugs :)

and all hardware should work. Maybe not the FM radio but who knows.
[Desire General] 7pellc:
@IIIIkoolaidIIII

Yes it has. Beno started making releases for 5.07 from sources.
[Desire General] El Massman:
having never used a CM rom before, how close does it stay to the stock look and feel? i had an awesome rom on my G1 a while ago that basically kept everything looking stock but had extra options in things like phone and messaging like setting specific led colors and other things. is that the kind of thing i can expect here? that would be awesome.
[Desire General] crowstar:
that sounds like cyanogen.

TBH I think this news is better than froyo sense, or r/w to /system. cyanogen is an outrageous developer (in a good way)
[Desire General] jacobtc:
Do we have any confirmation about 720p recording on the Desire? I see all these posts with people talking about it...
[Desire General] m8tix:
As far as I've read 720p recording is not at all confirmed because we need a proper radio with its driver.

But normal recording should work with CM6.

Regards
[Desire General] radiosilence:
Not without a radio update, I've heard.
[Desire General] Gambler_BE:
Awesome news!

About the 720p, I think it's pretty stupid of HTC for not releasing the proper radio for it... I bet they would sell more desires when it says 720p....
[Desire General] jacobtc:
Well the Nexus One got 720p recording, couldn't we use that Radio?
[Desire General] rolfd:
No. We are using Desires. They are not the same phone!
[Desire General] jacobtc:
I know, I just thought it was possible to use the camera part of the Radio with the Desire...
[Desire General] Rkiver:
This news makes me damn happy. Cannot wait to see what appears.
[Desire General] tommo123:
yea, i assumed it was the same hardware?
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
It's not the exact same hardware!

Really can't wait to see another masterpiece from Cyanogen and his crew.

BTW: You should follow them on twitter :D
[Desire General] .Hodgy.:
can't wait for this! any idea on how long we have to wait??
[Desire General] shoey-n:
Thanks for the awesome news, looking forward to Cyanogen's releases. His has always been the best from Day 1, have been using Cyanogen's ROMs on my G1 and Nexus One for ages.
[Desire General] twicejr:
Multi-lingual?

Will there be a dutch language too?
[Desire General] jacobtc:
I would love 720p, the iPhone 4 is making me jealous with its nice recording :( Also, I've never known this, but is framerate a hardware cap or a software cap? I mean, would it be possible to have 720p recording at 30fps on the Desire?
[Desire General] manuvaidya:
desire chip supports 720p recording according to this source....

http://www.mygreatphone.com/headline/what-is-snapdragon-a-technical-summary-of-qualcoms-new-chips/

&

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=115162858499786

so keep ur fingers crossed guys until a software hack is available to make this 720p recording happen on desire.... i am pretty sure that mods/devs here would find a way to give us all 720p video recording..... with the source code for froyo available, i dont think its too difficult to make it.... wait for a week.... then u ask me a question here....
[Desire General] cranejar:
I'm waiting~
[Desire General] xtcislove:
Im just waiting for that! CyanogenMOD for my Phone!! YES! =)
[Desire General] Dancube:
Both of those links only refer to the Snapdragon processor being capable of decoding video at 720p, encoding/recording is another matter and may not be possible.
[Desire General] manuvaidya:
@Dancube: you could be right, but how do u explain 720p recording on N1 with the changing of video recording format from m4v to h264 ??? do u think its impossible to achieve on desire also ????
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
I think Cyanogen will do some trick to get full use of the camera and all other chips on the Desire.

That's why we have custom ROMs right?
[Desire General] Simc13:
Se strinjam!:)

[Desire General] Minux31:
Why it would be a dream ?

HTC Desire -> OK

CyanogenMOD 6 -> soon

720p -> already active on N1, so why not on our Desire ?

ANDROID 2.2 -> soon (with Cyanogen)
[Desire General] lupin85:
720p is now in 2.2 too on nexus or just in android 2.1?

[Desire General] REALslik:
Does anyone know how i would go about checking my rom version? i see my bootloader is 0.43.0003 , and i want to know if i should go a head to buy a kingston card to root. Thanks.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
You can check your rom version in the build.prop file if you use adb to pull it from /system/build.prop, open it notepad, then push it back to /system/build.prop.
[Desire General] jmonfu:
Hi MasDroid

Newbie here.

Can you explain what you mean by adb? Is it a software I have to download to check the ROM version? I managed to do the "volume down and power button" to check the bootloader, however I could not see what ROM version I have.

Also I have been searching on how to backup my SDCard on the PC, I mean all the downloads, apps, photos etc, but could not find anything. Can you point me to some tutorial?

Thanks a lot
[Desire General] jmonfu:
ok found this procedure

Root phone.

Power off.

Hold volume down and power the phone on, and enter recovery mode.

Get into recovery menu (recoverywhatever.sh on *NIX or recovery-windows.bat)

Scroll to backup/restore in recovery menu.

Select backup NAND only - backing up EXT causes errors right now.

Find saved nandroid on your SD card.

Will try it out
[Desire General] ltn100:
Very excited! I'll gladly be one of their beta testers :p
[Desire General] AndroHero:
adb stands for android debug bridge, and its included in the android sdk, if you google android sdk and download it from android developers, and to back up your sd card, why not just copy the contents while in disk drive mode to a folder on your pc :confused:
[Desire General] jmonfu:
Ok will download the SDK.

I tried to copy the contents of the SDCard to my laptop, however I was getting an error that some data could not be copied. However yes I can copy the apps 1 by 1 maybe

I found this guide but its for the Hero

http://sites.google.com/site/roothtchero/

Is it also relevant to the HTC Desire?

So much to learn :)
[Desire General] Rage1ofakind:
With Cyanogen will i still have sense when i flash it on my desire? And from that, when the official OTA update of 2.2 comes out (28 months later) will i be able to update to it...

Thanks :)
[Desire General] Rage1ofakind:
Edit: damn double post :( how do i delete this one
[Desire General] ltn100:
I very much doubt Cyanogen for the Desire will have Sense installed, as many people hate it (including myself).

As for the option to change back to the official 2.2 update from HTC, I'm almost certain that there will be a version of that rom kicking about that you will be able to flash.... however, once you've tried a rooted rom, you'll never go back ;)
[Desire General] Rage1ofakind:
:) cool thanx m8

Im going to wait for cyanogen to get released then i'll rooot, or should i do it now hmmm... whats the best one to go for (for the time being before cyanogen gets released and can i install different roms easily after i root my phone?)
[Desire General] shoey-n:
Your better off rooting now, because it takes some time and you can get use to the recovery screen

Everything you need to know is here
[Desire General] Rage1ofakind:
Thanks m8 :)

I have started using the unlockr tut vids and have finished making the gold card ^^, probably going to finish it off at a later time to tired now :P
[Desire General] MasDroid:
@Jmonfu hi mate, you can also amend the build.prop without adb by using a file explorer app like Astro or eStrong. You need to go to the root of your sd card in /system and it will appear there.

You can backup your sd card contents as AndroHero suggested, in Disk Drive mode to your PC. Enable USB debugging on your phone (go to Menu, Settings, Applications, Development). Also check that your "show hidden files and folders" option in Windows is selected to copy any hidden files.

To have more backup options available to you, try rooting the phone to backup an exact copy of your rom image to your sd card, which you can later restore if needed (this is called a Nandroid Backup), or by using third-party apps available from the marketplace, like MyBackup Pro or Titanium Backup, to backup your apps and data to your SD card.
[Desire General] andycted:
That's new to me, I thought build.prop resided in /system and for now you can only pull/edit/push from adb, since we don't have system write access. Can you enlighten me if I'm in error ? I actually don't have a /sdcard/system
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Yes that is correct Andy, it is possible to access the build.prop via a file explorer but not make changes to the file as we require system write access. If you run estrong file explorer and at the top of the screen, you will see a selectable button with a forward slash '/' symbol. Press it and then open the system folder below. In that folder you will find the build.prop file. Even though we cannot save any changes to it, it still allows us to view the file with a file explorer. As you suggested, in order to make changes, we have to pull it using adb, open it in a program like notepad, make and save the changes, and then push it back.
[Desire General] souljas:
Yeah i cant wait for cyanogen's rom on the desire. I have owned the g1 and really loved and miss his roms!...I will be rooting and flashing his rom the day it is released :D
[Desire General] Rage1ofakind:
Are thre any screenshots or previews of the cyanogen rom? wanna see how this baby will look like :p
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
same here, tbh i'm good with opendesire, and DeFrost.

personally I like Sense UI, so if they bring a polished look to their ROMS i'll be happy. IF not it's gotta be stock I really hate, great ROMS with naff UI

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seiran:
Hi guys,

Can you suggest me any software which can control the overtime charge of battery in HTC hd2.. i mean auto OFF the battery charging after it is full or after a limited time as we desire.

As you know battery is a problem for such device and basically i have to charge everyday which i do at night but i afraid if i charge the batter overnight then it may damage to battery itself.

Thank you a lot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaszek:
I'm pretty sure the phone dows that automatically. I noticed on my phone that the LED turns green and the battery icon switches from charging to 100%
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] moooxooom:
all lithium battery "chargers" including phones will have a cut off switch.

Otherwise, "overcharging" will lead to exploding batteries ala Sony laptops.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] morpheus1982:
Hmmm, I could have sworn I was the first to respond to this thread hours ago, but it seems it didnt get through.

Anyway, the above responses are right.

Orange light for charging.

Green light once charge complete. After that, the phone is drawing power from mains without actually charging it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seiran:

thank you all guys for your kind reply. Have a nice day.
