Thanks man, and I do have the Zagg invisible shield on the entire phone, i highly recommend it cuz lets face it, the evo is the first of MANY sick phones to come, so when a new one comes out, all i gotta do is peal off the invisible shield and the phone looks brand spankin new!

Its pretty much solid, but having the support on the sides def helps if the game is intense and i get to shaking it a lil lol I'm pretty sure it will support it tho.

My original idea a few weeks back was this and to make a mount on top:

But i hate waiting for shipments :\ but when i saw this at the dollar store, i bit for sure. Oh to think, I go for paper towels and come out with a gamegear-like project :)

thanks!

It makes sense (to me) that if Google saw the fantastic efforts of chefs on XDA, they would probably consider releasing the tools/equipment to ensure a 100% experience on current WM6.5 models.

Lots of WM users are facing a switch to a new OS soon but not necessarily ready to part with new hardware. It seems a good way of boosting their users by a couple of 100,000/million or so.

I was just wondering if this is a (remote) possibility, apologies if this is a ridiculous question :rolleyes:

Google would gain nothing compared to antagonising ms and htc. yes they sue each other weekly, but this would be annoying them for no gain.

besides which, they don't need to, its already shaping up to be one of the smoothest ports so far, so even less reason to rock the boat.
[HD2 General] johnboatcat:
They do not give a hoot about their users.

They care a great deal about their next "buyers". I am waiting for that great piece of hardware that will come from AT&T with Windows Phone 7 on it! So, I can put WinMo 6.5 and my Cookie to work. The best thing about WP 7 is that MS will not care what we do with <7 versions. It can become a real OS of the people, for the people, by the people, because the revenue center is behind them now. When was the last time that MS had much to do with your <7 OS? All of you <7 users don't dispair. MS thought enough of you to give you Officve Mobile 2010 didn't they? If they were going to abandon you they would have done just that. Let the WP7 people Twitter their life away. I have work to do!

Clue: It is not going to be the OS that keeps you from doing what you want to do with your phone. It is going to be the manufacturer of the phone and their customer, the cell provider.

XDA user bstromberg in my General Sticky thread raised a good question and found an excellent resource. My intent is to try and modify the default.prop file to enable only 3 screens in TW, where the middle screen is the default home screen... and perhaps instruction for 5 screens where 3 is the default home screen.

socket84 had an extrmely helpful post in the Galaxy S I9000 section, which I believe we can use as a resource.... but I am not as intelligent as some of you and will need hand holding. I think this would be extremely helpful to the community, at least till CM6 comes.

Here is the post I just referenced.

Any takers to make this work, and willing to test it out?
[Vibrant Android Development] the3dman:
I like this idea!!! The home screen needs to me the middle one! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
looks like you would modify this property:

ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=2

In his example it is 2, so that would be 3 screens total (starting at 0, 0 is the first screen, 1 is the second screen, and 2 is the third screen).

I'm using ADW so I can't really test, but this should be easy to test and you should backup the original file before you make the change.

To make your middle screen the home screen, then the other property:

ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen

would be 1:

ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=1

EDIT: Reading through the whole thread, it may not be that easy.
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
Sorry, I should emphasize that I posted this here because there are a lot more qualified people... I feel confident I can make a backup and move the new file to this ones place, reboot and test it... but I really don't know how to edit the document or where to add that code... in XDA I trust, I just got a good source to start shown to me and hoped someone would run with it (I also use LP, but may switch back if this gets worked out).
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
wait yours isn't? both vibrants I got came with Screen 4 as the middle one out of 7... if I press home on another screen it goes back to 4 not 1
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
^ but if you only use 3 to 5 screens, like i do, i would like to just get rid of the other screens and have 2 or 3 be my default in the center, but it will only ever allow screen 4 to be default, no matter the amount of screens you have (i haven't tried to remove more than 2 screens by the way)

so i too would be very grateful to whoever figured this one out.
[Vibrant Android Development] captain_awesome:
it should be noted that your "home" screen defaults to whatever screen you had open last before the device went into sleep mode. so.. in essence there is no true home screen. it just stays on which ever one you last used.

also, there is no need to modify code to remove the extra screens youre not using. just touch the menu key then choose "edit" from the options.. from there you can add or delete screens. you can go all the way down to 1.. and add new screens on either side. for example i have my first screen as #1.. and have two more to the right.. 2 and 3 respectively. when i boot my phone, it always starts on screen #1.

this is an especially useful feature if you would rather just have a single "home" screen with the apps you use most and then use the app tray for all of the rest.

also, IME the middle screen is always the defaut "home" screen when you add an even number of screens on either side from the edit menu.
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
^ you don't understand.
[Vibrant Android Development] captain_awesome:
^ enlighten me
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
he's talking about no matter what you do the phone will always try to make screen 4 your home screen so say you have 3 pages (i guess you can call it that) it will try to be on 4 but theres no 4 so it will go to 3 even though you actually want it to be page 2 so it wil be in the middle for the home page

1-2-3 always goes to the last screen if theres not a 4th one in your home screen
[Vibrant Android Development] captain_awesome:
thats what i was figuring he was saying.. however i was saying that my phone doesnt do that. i deleted all of my home screens, then added more going 1, 2, 3, in that order.. and my phone starts on 1 every time.

if you are in the edit screen and you add pages like this " 2, 1, 3" it will start on the middle page.
[Vibrant Android Development] Only Loki:
So do you restart your phone after you save? Because mine doesn't do that either.
[Vibrant Android Development] setzer715:
+1, doesnt work for me. No matter what order I add screen it always goes back to 4 or 3,2,1 if less than 4 screens.
[Vibrant Android Development] setzer715:
This doesn't work. If I delete all (accept 1 that it wont let you delete), swipe to the right and add a screen that becomes 1, you Cannot add in that order. It will always default 1,2,3,etc.

EDIT: I think what your saying doesn't work because you cannot delete all 7 screens and then decide which one to add in which order. You HAVE to keep one, and no matter what side you add it to it will always keep them numbered in order. So it is impossible to add 1 after 2.
[Vibrant Android Development] setzer715:
So I added to 2 lines and then just the first line and tried both ways to our default.prop but it did not fix the problem. Right back to 4 for home. It was mentioned in the original post that someone else had they same problem and it was determined that they were using an older version of the ROM and those lines weren't already in there. That is the case with ours so this method doesnt seem to work for us. At least for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
I feel like some people are not understanding.

Default IS (or tries to be) number 4, always.

If you come back from sleep (or even hit home key from any app) it will go to last screen it was on before sleeping, but if you press home again, by default, or mistake, or just making sure you are on home screen because you are driving or doing other things, it always jumps to the real home screen (4) or closest to, if less than 4 screens.

I agree this needs a fix. Minor issue, but annoying none the less. I have 7 screens and only using 3 because I want middle screen to be default, that is how all other phones are, why did Samsung change it?
[Vibrant Android Development] captain_awesome:
ok let me clarify..

when i was deleting all of my unused home screens, and went down to just one, i deleted all BUT the middle screen.. which was labled as screen 4 originally. when i added the two other screens back, the screen then became screen 1 and was labeled as such automatically.. follow?

after looking back on my posts i can see where the confusion was. maybe by my deleting the screens in this manner i haphazardly stumbled upon the "right" way to do it..
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
When you go from 7 to 1, what was 4 is now 1.

Add two screens and now it can be 2. In the middle.

However it is still going to screen 3, since there is not a4 when you press home. Nobody can get it to do what you claim. Can you post a video or be extremely specific?

I still have my doubts and think we're going to have to edit the file.
[Vibrant Android Development] captain_awesome:
I never use my home key to get back to the first page. I always swipe. after hitting my home key mine goes to 3 too.. but when the phone starts up it always starts on page one.. how odd...

ok sorry for the confusion everybody. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] the3dman:
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I decompiled the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk with apktool and there is a launcher.xml file in /res/layout-land and /res/layout-port if you look in this layout.xml file there is a piece of code: android:layout_height="fill_parent" launcher:defaultScreen="1" />

So I am wondering if it has something to do with this also.
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
Interesting.. I wish I knew more about this stuff like some of you guys. Doesn't make sense for 1 to be the default, unless you got that from the european galaxy which I think on some firmwares had 1 as the default.
[Vibrant Android Development] the3dman:
Nope came from the stock USA vibrant. 1 to the system might be 4 visually. That could just be the way it is coded. Anyway something else to play with.
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
Anyone actively working on this?

I'm getting nowhere.
[Vibrant Android Development] beproz:
I've been playing with the home screens

I've notice that I can LP the home screen and can move it from left to right in relation to the other screen. However, when ever I press my home button it defaults to #4 home screen. Just remember, if you want a certain screen to be the home page, "float that to position #4" by LP the screen you would like to make home. I hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] ytj87:
I don't understand the need for this. You can drag and drop the home screen position in TW, on the same screen where you add or delete screens.
[Vibrant Android Development] the3dman:
Here is the reason: I would like only 3 home screens and I would like the center to be my default home screen for when I push the home button. This is the way vanilla android is and that is what I like so really just personal preference. Currently if you have 3 home screens the home button will take you to screen 3 (furthest right).
[Vibrant Android Development] 98classic:
lol, is it really hard to understand? damn. i was going crazy one day as i use the home button to go back to the default screen. i just stuck to using launcher pro. wonder why samsung coded it this way.
[Vibrant Android Development] radiopayola:
everyone who reads the first 19 posts deserves a refund

Seriously, I feel cheated.
[Vibrant Android Development] radiopayola:
I'm guessing they knowingly shipped with a bunch of bugs and missing features because they weren't considered showstoppers. Personally, I think what they released is good enough that most users won't ever notice the little things that are screwed up. The one thing that's kinda ridiculous is the inability to apply ringtones to individual contacts without using a third party app like ringo. I would have considered that one a showstopper, but some manager under a lot of pressure somewhere said screw it. I work in a sloppy shop where a lot of high pressure bad decisions like this are made all the time. It just wouldn't surprise me.

They just need to step up to the plate and release semi-regular updates or all of the good will they've regained after the previous android debacles will be for naught...

[Vibrant Android Development] N8ter:
God... I hate installing home switchers and stuff on my phone, but this is putting me at the brink. I hatehatehate the way they have completely fudged up something so damn simple. What's so hard about an option to "set as default home screen" when you're editing the layout?

So basically we don't get a choice in how many home screens we have, it's 7 or 1, because if you have less than 7 your entire layout is ****ed up and you end up having to swype twice instead of once to glance at the info on a widget. The whole point of multiple home screens and widgets was to get information quickly and at a glance, without these types of pointless inconveniences. Leave it to Samsung to fudge even that up.

This pisses me off. I just spend like 2 hours trying to get the damn thing to go to the middle screen when I use an odd number of screens. I wish they would get rid of the Down's Syndrome developers they're using to code this stuff.

Hi Everyone

I have OC Widget installed on my phone (htc hero sprint) and I was wondering is there a way to confirm that the speed being reported by OC widget is in fact the actual cpu speed. My reasons for doubting this are that

1) even with a setting 710mhz the phone seems kind of sluggish at times

2) I get notifications of cpu settings changes when turning my screen off to on but I do not see a change in the number displayed in the widget (it is always set at the on screen speed)
[Android Software Development] Doward:
adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

*edit*

I would be interested in knowing where you read CPU temperature information, though.
[Android Software Development] dsMA:
CPU temp huh...i have no idea lol

Since you brought it up I do have a question for you that is somewhat related, can access heat (from either the battery or cpu) cause a reboot (either a complete reboot going through all the load screens or just a reboot to boot back into the home screen).

I was experiencing quite frequent reboots (the later of the two I described above) and had initially thought maybe they were app related but could never determine if that was the cause.

I was over clocking and underclocking so was wondering if maybe that could have lead to some instability issues.
[Android Software Development] Doward:
Clock speed and voltage go hand in hand - if you are adjusting one without the other, yes, you will affect stability. Heat also plays a part - now, specifically can a hot battery cause a CPU malfunction? Yes, but unlikely. More likely, the heat will affect the voltage from the battery and case CPU instability via that path.

For instance I have an app from the market place called video box which allows you to download and save a video to ur sd card and you can even view the video while you have no data connection or wifi. Problem is their lack of music videos.

They can if they are made completely wrong. Which if you buy cheap chinese crap batteries its more likely you will get what you pay for. Ive used ALOT of aftermarket batteries and have never had anything weird with them, normally just less mah.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
Well, a battery is a battery. The cheaper ones probably have more potential to explode in your pocket...but if it's putting out the same current as a stock one, the phone really shouldn't be able to tell the difference.
