[HD2 General] cookzitall:
when i say animations ...i am talking about the photo tab and the music tab...they have special animations when flipped into landscape...the photos in the photo tab flips and then is swipeable from left to right ..and the music tab is simular.,..it also becomes swipeable from left to right ...not up and down like it usually is when just adding manila to the whitelist thru reg edits...

im trying to figure out if its possible to keep those animations and have the rest of the tabs rotate as well...

is that a better explanation?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
yeah...that's what I'm saying, when those tabs rotate for me, the pictures and the music albums rotate and can then be swiped from left to right..
[HD2 General] cookzitall:
can u tell me what rom your using? and are u using the same rotation edit cab that u poste?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I'm on the original stock Tmo ROM (2.10).

Actually, when poking around to confirm that's the cab I'm currently using, I discovered that (I forgot) I'd installed a different one to replace that one I first offered you. Try this one instead, hopefully it'll get you the same thing I see now. Sorry about that, I didn't even remember I'd done that :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] cookzitall:
i had that installed....and no luck...its as if the album tab and photo tab rotate twice...once thru the animation and then another time thru the rotating app...which ever one i use....they all the work the say way pretty much...

im soooooooooooo frustrated ..
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Hmm, I dunno then :(

If you're sure you removed previous rotation cabs, the only other suggestion I might have is to uninstall BsB and see if that changes the behavior...
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Did you try to use BSB tweaks that is in the rom to enable manila rotation? Might have wanted to ask in Josh's thread where we might have be able to help a little sooner.
[HD2 General] cookzitall:
yea i did post something in joss's thread n noone has commented it in a while...and i have used bsb and that does the same thing...it autorotates everything and by doing so makes photo album and music tab rotate twice..n gives that half backwards screen...all the other rotate apps either do that or do away with the coverflow animations and make the music n album tab animationless like the rest of the tabs...

there has to be away to auto rotate individual tabs or something ..idnno

Something has been bugging me lately. The whole consumer thing for massive phone screens with insanely high res, ludicrously fast processors, 3d and graphics.

For me, a screen larger then 3.2" would be too big for my pockets. So how can people have 4" screened phones and deal with them? Do you guys with leos just have really big pockets or something :confused:? I had a go at the leo, and it bothered me that i needed to use two hands, cause my thumb couldnt get to the x button. It doesnt feel practical to have a screen that big.

I know a guy that is waiting for a phone with a 5" capacitive AMOLED screen with 1280x720px res, 1.5ghz snapdragon and 1gb ram. I told him to go buy an ipad or a android tablet.

Can someone tell me what the pull is with these phones, what is so good about them?

[General Topics] aserp:
Closest thing to a mobile computer, I guess. However, some of the larger phones are very, very slim. The Droid X is unfathomably slim, yet also really, really wide. The trend is probably going to back down to smaller devices- the HTC Aria's main selling point on all its ads is the tiny size of the device.

Of course, on touch only phones, size is a huge factor when you consider that the keyboard is only as big as the screen is.
[General Topics] LordVarkson:
Yes I have to say I don't mind slim phones, I loved the size and thickness of my elf, and I kind of miss it in that respect. Also aserp, you are right in saying about the keyboard. It is kinda difficult to type fast with the regular keyboard. However, I prefer using my stylus with SlideIt, it works well and blew my friends minds how fast I can type with it.
[General Topics] aserp:
That's true- Swype (or SlideIt) has really changed touch-screen 'typing'. I've been thinking about buying a new phone for a while, but remind myself that there's no phone out there that runs Android, is GSM, and has a hardware keyboard. (Well, okay, the Backflip, but that kinda sucks ;/)
[Droid Incredible General] ses1er:
I've had the DInc since day -1 and haven't had a real problem until recently. Whenever the phone gets a little warm from 10+ minutes of straight use, the phone will reboot itself and goes into a reboot cycle. What seems to happen is the phone will overheat from use and then heat up some more from booting up. Once it gets to the home screen, it'll reboot again in an endless cycle. The cycle cannot be stopped unless the battery is pulled or the down key is held prior to it rebooting and shutting it down in the bootloader. The reboots are pretty predictable just by feeling the temperature of the phone. Using the phone while charging is a definite no-no for me. The only way I can get the phone to function again is to either let it sit for 10 minutes or put it in front of the AC for 5.

My phone was rooted and all roms seem to have the same effect. I've tried all hydra's kernels and all of them causes the problem, even the stock kernel. The only temporary fix was to use setcpu and enable the temp profile to lower the cpu to 500MHz at 36 degrees. This gave me extended use and was bearable but I really shouldn't have to do this. I've got so annoyed and reverted back to full stock/unrooted by downgrading with the official rom but the phone is STILL rebooting from overheating.

This is an obvious problem and I've already called Verizon for an RMA. I just hope it's not a widespread defect. It seems random reboots are pretty common with the DInc based on what I've read and other people's experience at work. There's about 5 of us who has the Inc at my job and all of our phones rebooted about a few minute from one another.

Has anyone had this issue? If so, did your replacement take care of it? I've read stories of people having to go thru four exchanges to finally land on a good device. How hot does your phones get from use and has it ever rebooted from the heat? It's a real bummer to be unable to play games on my phone for extended periods of time. The Droid X is looking mighty tempting right now :)
[Droid Incredible General] triadpc:
Same issue here

I've had the Incredible since day 1 (I actually upgraded from the original Droid, which I loved, but I wanted the faster CPU and more memory) and within the first 2 weeks, I got the random reboot issue, but it wasn't consistent and I believe that an OTA update fixed the problem (which was a general reception issue for the Triad area of NC).

However, the last couple of weeks, the phone seems possessed and reboots randomly and will keep rebooting until I pull the battery. It doesn't matter if I'm using the GPS, surfing the web, sending a text message, etc. or if I'm using the Verizon 3G network or my home Wi-Fi.

I tried testing various scenarios, soft/hard resets, removing my micro-SD card, charging the battery overnight, etc., but when the phone gets into one of its random reboot loops/cycles, there is no remedy but to pull the battery for about 5-10 minutes.

I have taken the phone 3 times to a retail Verizon store (that has a technician onsite) and they can't fix the phone (just keep doing factory "hard" resets).

I called HTC and they just told me how to hold the phone "with your fingertips and by the edges of the phone), and if I still had issues, I could ship the phone to them and they could attempt to repair it (but, then I'm without a phone for several days/weeks, which is not acceptable).

I have also called Verizon support and they finally agreed to issue me a replacement "refurb" phone (which I think is totally BS), but if I have the same issue with this replacement phone, I'm thinking of seeking legal counsel to get out of my contract and/or start a class action lawsuit against Verizon and/or HTC.

I've been a Verizon wireless customer for over 12 years with no issues with their "network", so I know it's an issue with this phone.

If the root cause is heat buildup, then to me, this would be considered a factory defect and all Incredible phones should be recalled (or the customer given the option to swapout to another phone, like the Droid X).

Besides the reboot problem, the phone has poor battery life (even more so than other smartphones), poor call quality, and poor reception.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Me Too

I have the random reboot issue as well, although I am 99.999999% it is due to heat. That said, heat could be caused by it trying desperately to secure a decent signal.

I really do not want to try to convince Verizon I have this problem, and have just been living with it.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Ive havent had that problem, but my inc overheats to 50°c sometimes. My advise, go to big red and have it replaced.
[HTC Aria General] modest_mandroid:
Hey guys, I originally posted this question in the unrevoked thread, but figured more people might want to know the answer to this question.

Anyway, is there any known way to obtain and reflash the stock recovery image in the event that we wanted to return the phone for warranty or exchange purposes?
[HTC Aria General] Atlas15:
Get the original ROM from here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/
[HTC Aria General] sturmen:
What about for the Evo 4G?

I was torn whether to start a new thread in the Evo 4G section, or just reuse this current one. Obviously, you can tell which one I chose.
[HTC Aria General] modest_mandroid:
Doesn't seem to work.. Everytime I launch it, it says 'ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR' but my device shows up if I do 'adb devices'

I get the same error when I boot into fastboot, as the website suggests. The phone shows up in 'fastboot devices' but I still get the same error 170.

Any suggestions?

edit: read on the hero forum that the ruu's don't work in win7 for some reason, going to try it in vmware with winxp.

edit2: That did the trick. I was able to flash the stock rom under WinXP Pro 32bit from VMWare, which loaded up the stock rom plus stock recovery. Excellent ;)
[HTC Aria General] sfernandez:
Im going to sound like a total nubbie here.... but how did u get it to work and what VWWare program did u use?

EDIT: SCRATCH that I figured it out...

1. I loaded up bootloader

2. left on fastboot

3. made sure it said fastboot usb by unpluging then replugging in usb

4. flashed stock rom

[HD2 General] pjkj13:
I just got my HD2 (unlocked from TMO-US to ATT). Also please forgive my ignorance when it comes to phones and the types of services they use.

I also have a MetroPCS phone that I use for work. Is there any way I can get the internet settings from my Metro phone and input them into the HD2? I know the technology behind the phones are different, but its all data.

I have tried to go into the settings on the Metro phone (WinMo as well 6.1 I believe), but it says "ERROR - This connection is pre-configured. It cannot be modified". It will not even let me see the settings.

I have found a few places online that had a lot of the settings, but either it just will not work, or I can't seem to get them all together at the right time.

Also, I don't have an ATT data plan (hence wanting to use the Metro data), but have WiFi pretty much everywhere so I dont worry about it too much. All I really want it for is MMS. My wife's phone gets MMS and she does not have the data plan either, so I figure there should be a way to get MMS without the data plan.

Any ideas?

Hi, I am trying to replace the ADW launcher that comes with CyanogenMod-6 with the same process that I did with Super D. However upon installing Metamorph and tring to apply my Hero Theme (launcher most importantly as thats what I want to achieve replacing) it comes up with the error "Launcher.apk not found, skipping...". I followed steps from this site...

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2090-removing-adw-launcher-cm-508/

...which successfully managed to remove ADW but I cant seem to apply the Metamorph Hero Launcher, still says its not there.

Anyone know of the best way to get a Hero Launcher with this rom, one which can just simply be dragged up like the standard stock launcher?

Many thanks to anyone who can help!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oswade:
You have to download it from the samsung apps store (i don't think it's included with any firmwares).

I much like the idea of this app, however the keyboard is terrible - no swype and difficult to see the keys, making it effectively useless imo.

If they used the default keyboard and made the background slightly less transparent, it could be great!!!

I just put in my Hero battery into my new Evo and it works fine. Has anyone else tried this? No wonder the battery dies in 2 sec., a much bigger phone is using the same battery. What batteries is everyone using to get more time? I'm getting half a day with Fresh Rom right now.
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
HTC uses the same 1500mah battery in the in a couple of models. I think the hd2 uses the same battery. I'm on damagecontrol and easily seeing 16 to 18 hours. I also did the HTC recommend battery conditioning.
[EVO 4G General] bigupurself7:
If the HTC recommended conditioning is so important, why was it now part of the instructions? I feel like we were ripped off just like Apple with their antenna.
[EVO 4G General] bigupurself7:
Does the conditioning have to do with the phone or the battery? Since the battery with my hero worked a lot better, should I just swap them out?
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
The conditioning is for the battery. It is dumb that HTC didn't fix this to begin with, but it's not hard to do.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
An antenna design flaw that needs an aftermarket purchased fix (or duct tape) vs charging your battery a special way one time?

HTC realized the error and posted a fix that anyone can do. Apple said "hold it different"

That's pretty different to me. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] neonfreak20:
Quick Question.. Do you have to re-condition the battery everytime you fully charge it or is it an only 1 time thing? Honestly, Id hate to waste a good hour a night trying to top off my battery..:rolleyes:

At that rate, It works out to a wasted 30-31 hours a month just trying to keep the battery in top shape :p
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
I think it has more to do with leaving it on while charged. There has been some back and forth I believe over the trickle charge vs keeping a charge, blah blah blah....

But now that I turn off my phone, let it charge over night, it drains slower. My phone has been off the charger 6 hours and is at 80%. I haven't used it much though, this is way better than the 1 hour = 10% drain when doing nothing.

The first 5% does go by pretty fast though - I've noticed the lower the percentage read out, the slower it takes to inch towards 0. Anyone else feel that the "second half" of the battery lasts longer than the first half?
[EVO 4G General] bigupurself7:
I totally agree with you, I was just making a joke! Has anyone tried any of the batteries on Ebay?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to finish up my new homescreens, and my last widget is Audio Manager Pro. I've tried the metamorph on it, but it wasn't working. I've also tried to manually open the .apk and edit the .pngs i needed to edit, but have issues getting it signed. Any modders have some free time to help a theme noob?

I answered my own question, but I thought I'd share what I did to make it happen.

1. adb pulled the apk

2. Opened the .apk in betterzip (mac user) WITHOUT EXTRACTING, and pulled the folders that needed editing.

3. Edited .pngs in Photoshop

4. Dragged the folders back into Betterzip into the correct directories.

5. Saved the changes to the .apk

6. adb pushed the .apk to /system/app

7. Profit!

Hopefully that helped someone!
