[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nuja:
Hi,

Im currently using Darkstone's build of froyo on my HD2, I would like to know how to remove LauncherPro from this build, I cant seem to be able to do it from settings>application management, the uninstall button is greyed (even when I stop Launcherpro from runing).

Anyone can help me plz ?

thx a lot in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] oshizzle1991:
why would you want to delete it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hugo007½:
I would like to delete it as well....

Because I can´t install LauncherPro Plus
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ahijada:
its because the some of the android builds have an older version of the launcher. if we (even i) try to update the launcher, or even try to install LauncherPro, we can't. dunno why. never found out.

so anyways, +1... I'd like to know how to install this so I can at least update to the newer version.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LondonTownGuy:
Open terminal emulator and type the following:

su (press enter)

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (press enter)

cd /system/app (press enter)

Type ls and press enter this will bring list of all apps on phone, check exactly how launcher pro is listed.

rm ''app'' (eg; rm LauncherPro-0.7.0.4.apk) (press enter)

It should now be gone,but if you have problems install a different terminal emulator, eg 'better terminal emulator'

Then install your chosen launcher.

Also a good idea to install a different launcher before like adb launcher incase you get a blank screen and cannot re boot then you can uninstall it after you install any other launcher.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fjell_strom:
1. go to market and install adw.launcher

2. using terminal program in hd2 type:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

3. then use astro or es file manager and go to /system/app

4. delete launcher.apk

5. reboot

(optional)

6. go back to market and install launcherpro (it should install now).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ahijada:
nice. will try right now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ahijada:
Installation Unsuccessful.

Hmm?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ahijada:
Spoke too soon and skipped the "reboot" part LOL..

works wonderfully! Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nghj:
normally, i would go to settings>manage applications, find launcherpro, then force stop it.

without going to home (going to home will start launcherpro again), hold home button and switch to the file manager(i use SUFBS), find the apk and install.

after successful installation, press home button and should be able to see all the widgets and icon reloading themselves.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvP77:
Easiest way, go to the market, get adw and root explorer. in root explorer go to system/app and delete launcher.apk (make sure its mounted as read/write). Restart and go to the market and download launcher pro.

I know that you can place MP3s in the respective folders for notifications and ringtones. There are some sounds that I like to use for both ringtones and notifications, but don't want them to be copied into both folders. It seems like there would be a less space wasting method to do it?

are you guys using any task killers? when i had one installed it was killing something that was causing that same "non-charging" behavior. when i uninstalled it, charging went back to normal.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] robotrabbit:
I had a similar problem earlier today when I was trying to figure this out for myself Google kept bringing me here even though there was no solution.

After screwing with it for over an hour I figured it out. The problem occurs when re-zipping. When you go to zip up your folders make sure your compression method is "Store", by default the drop down for "Normal" will be selected in WinRar, so change that. I re-zipped your file and tested it, works fine on my evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] triscuit1983:
I usually use my own boot animation and this desc works for me.

480 800 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

Name your main folder part0 and your loop folder part1.

I use 7zip to "add to archive" and choose the compression method of "store".

Hope it helps.

Edit: Here's the bootanimation.zip you uploaded with my proposed "fixes".

Hey Guys,

Just picked up my phone today and every time I connect it to my computer I get the V Cast website that pops up telling me to install it.. How do I stop this from happening ? Very annoying

Thanks in advanced!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpa11:
So i've been using my mytouch 3g fine the past few weeks with cyanogen mod 5 but recently i flashed cyanogen mod 6 and i didnt like the progress on it yet so i did complete system wipe and i restored my nandroid backup of cyanmod5. The problem i noticed was that when i turn on my camera app (the default one) it works fine until you take a picture. after the picture is taken there should be a little preview box with the picture on the top right hand corner but it's just black there and when i press it nothing happens. so then i put my sd card in my computer and the picture didnt save either. So i downloaded two other camera apps FxCamera and cameramagic and both of them forceclosed when trying to save. so i go into my gallery and it crashes without even giving me the message. So im guessing this problem has to do with the gallery app right? and if so how can i fix it?:confused:

Hmmm.... Haven't had any problems with mine. Have u tried wiping and reflashing?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Which version of cm5 are you using? The first roms of the cm5.0.7-test series had problems with the camara previews. Make sure you are using the latest cm5.0.8.

Also you don't need to wipe prior to a nandroid =p

Is there a way I can get the phone to vibrate for a phone call but not have the buttons on bottom vibrate? I notice when I turn down the vibration intensity it also doesn't vibrate for phone calls.... That kind of sucks
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
I am wondering the same. Anybody know of a app or fix?
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I just figured it out...leave the phone vibrate checked but uncheck the haptic feedback
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Thanks for the quick fix tip
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
Any other way around this? I love that my soft keys vibrate (just ensures me that I actually touched it), but I need my vibrate mode to be put to the highest. I don't want my haptic feedback to be too strong, but I don't want my vibrate mode to be too low at the same time. Hmmmmm, any apps or something?
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Any one know how to do this?
[Captivate General] travisryans:
Photo Vault App

I just downloaded "Photo Vault" from the market for $1 to do exactly this. It works great. You can even encrypt photos from the main picture folder without having to apply to the others. :)
[Captivate General] s.m.knipe:
Photovault is great, or you can just use astro or some other file browser to rename the folder and put a ". " in front of the name. In Linux this makes the file /folder hidden...

I prefer photovault myself though, out of the available apps.

I tried placing I'm a new folder buy the phone searches for all media any folder... go the same with music. All the sounds from asphalt 3d was playing in my shuffle mix last night. Man that sucks
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
This really needs to be stickied this is like the 4th time I've said this:

Open notepad and save an empty file with the file type set to all and the name ".nomedia" without quotes and with the period. Then place it in the folder where you don't want the gallery or music player (media scanner) to look.
[Captivate General] Phredeee:
Same problem

My reason for excluding folders is much different. I have music stored on my card. These music folders include album art. This really clogs up the Gallery.

It looks like the ".nomedia" resolution will not solve this.
[Captivate General] Symmetric:
I'm having this exact issue myself.

I really like the samsung gallery, but their are no settings to tweak...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeking:
I updated to Cyanogen 6 RC2 and noticed my task bar reverted back to white. I tried to use my morph to use the desire taskbar but it didnt work (due to metamorph not working for some reason). I then ran a diff black bar which did work with the updated version of metamorph and noticed the date in the taskbar was no longer present.

Is this due to the morph or is this due to cyanogen 6? can someone tell me? Also, is there a way to get it back?

Also i believe i was able to change my lockscreen caption with cyanogen 6 RC1 but i cant seem to find the option in RC2. did some searching and i see some .apk that need to be custom built in order to change it....is this true? or am i some how overlooking the option with cyanogen 6 RC2?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeking:
anyone have any light to shed?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsipma:
Maybe I am missing something

You have changed settings->CyanogenMod settings->User interface settings so that nothing is showing up black right? I had the problem when I first morphed to the black desire bar. And you have to reboot the phone for the changes to take effect. I hope it's that simple.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeking:
thanks for the tip, but i did check that and thats not the problem...ive even gone as far as making everysingle color something non black so that way i can see which color represented what portion of the task bar. I think what happened was i flash a diff bar than the desire bar first but used the updated version of metamorph which doesnt work...i think that bar f'd with it to be honest.
[Vibrant General] bobofosho123:
NOTE: THIS IS A REPOST, I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED IT IN THE WRONG AREA, sorry.

Hello everyone,

I have one hell of a story to tell about one boy, two phones (the htc hd2 and the samsung vibrant), and one freakin' committed customer service team (T-Mobile's). OK, so I'll begin my story of how I ended up with a brand-new Vibrant for essentially 350 bucks. Bear with me here, it's a bit long. So, I originally purchased an htc hd2 way back in mid-June for 300 bucks on Craigslist. The phone ended up being defective because of a hardware issue, and because it happened to be under the "buyer's remorse" period, at least the way T-Mobile saw it, I was able to return it by mail for a brand new one for free. I was surprised when I called to learn that T-Mobile didn't require a single piece of information to verify that I was the original owner of the phone, all they saw was that an htc hd2 had magically been activated on such and such a date. So, I returned that hd2 and recieved a new one in a couple of days, which ended up being just as buggy as the last one, so I decided to abandon the hd2 altogether in exchange for the Samsung Vibrant. I called T-Mobile customer service today to setup the exchange for the vibrant, which would cost me 50 bucks since the hd2 cost 450 and the vibrant costs 500, and I was FINALLY told that they had no record of me ever buying an hd2 (I wonder why, lol). I then explained to them that I wasn't the original owner of the phone and that I had bought it from the original owner, but that the phone had been purchased only a few days before they sold it to me. They told me at first that I would have contact the original owner and get the 450 bucks credited back to there account. The only problem was that I had no way of contacting the original owner, and that they had switched carriers almost immediately after purchasing the hd2. After about four hours, and many many phone calls later, I called t-mobile one last time to explain my situation, keep in mind that I was totally honest the entire time, I reached a very nice customer service rep, and after explaining what had happened to me, and after speaking to her supervisor for over ten minutes, she told me that even though they almost never do this, that they would "take my word for it" and send the vibrant, no questions asked, for basically 50 bucks. I was over the moon considering that less than 5 minutes ago I had thought that I had thrown away 300 dollars. I would like to give some major props to T-Mobile's customer support, never in a million years would I have expected a customer service team work so hard to keep a a customer happy. Talk about going the distance. Well, that's my story. Tell me what you think, and what your experiences with them have been like.

Peace, bobofosho12:D
[Vibrant General] newjaruz:
WOW.. but Yes.. I think they have the best... that's a steel for 50 $ wow..

HTC is nice too.. i ordered parts for my nexus i was going to purchase them and they didn't allow me to pay.. lol.. they just said they will mail it and that included a second pouch/battery/ battery cover and headphones.. I could not believe it.. but I am glad I am with T-mo and own a HTC device.
[Vibrant General] bobofosho123:
amen brotha'. Although I'm actually gonna sell the vibrant once I get it on ebay, and then just buy a cheap used nexus one. Maybe, but i'm not totally decided yet.
[Vibrant General] ZombieDude00:
Tmobile paid off my 280 in payments on an old Cliq I had. Basically because I purchsed it 6 months ago saw a great replacement in the Vibrant . Squeaky wheel is the way to go with T -mobile but you need to be calm cool and nice
[Vibrant General] humblehyper:
That's why I came back to them. Was with them for 5 years before switching to AT&T because of my daughters bugging me for the iphone. I went back to Tmobile because of their incredible customer service, never experienced anything like it before. Kudos to T-mobile.

AT&T customer service sucks big big time! Congrats on your new Vibrant! :)
[Vibrant General] musky:
This is almost exactly what happened to me! T mobile customer service is damn good! I did threaten to switch carriers though, and they came through to keep me as a customer. I wasn't eligible for an upgrade, but once I threatened to go to sprint and get the epic they let me have my vibrant for $200!
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I assume with a contract extension yes?
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Kudos! Thanks for sharing...that's awesome.

Yea the HD2 is death ain't it? Damn windows...what were they thinking? :eek:
[Vibrant General] ryfter:
This gives me some hope. I have been jacked around by Tmobile for over a week now. One of their stores screwed me over with the G1. They gave me a $50 break on the phone, and extended my contract for 2 years because of that $50. I had NO clue that is what they were doing. Once I found out, I was pissed. The CSR put in their system that I could upgrade at normal extension costs at any time. So, just after the Vibrant came out, I went to take them up on that. The problem, is how it is done in the system, I could only get the discount rate through Tmobile, not through a 3rd party store. I tried to get the Vibrant + accessories at Costco for $99. Since then, I have been completely jacked around by customer service. I finally got my FIRST CALL back yesterday... while I was using the restroom. They said they would call back today. Thus far, my experience is pretty poor.
[Vibrant General] bobofosho123:
Sorry to hear that man, this is the only advice i can offer you, be nice and remember that that person on the other end, who may just seem like an annoying voice, is a real person who is probably having a much harder day than you are (I can't imagine being a customer service rep). If you're nice but VERY persistent you can generally get what you want, and remember it me like four hours to get this **** shorted for me. I had to explain it to like five different people, and only upon getting to a VERY KIND service rep did I finally get a good solution to my problem.
[Vibrant General] bobofosho123:
Yeah thanks man, and by the way, even though windows mobile is a ****ty OS, it's actually pretty stable, it's actually the sense UI that makes the HD2 so damn unstable, even after the "official" update that was supposed to correct the problems. Just turn off sense and the phone works fine, it's just ugly as hell to use.

I have tried several (sense) builds and on every one I can answer (or reject) a call by pressing the buttons instead of unlocking the screen first.

That is annoying when wearing the phone in the pocket. :mad: :mad:

If the screen is locked and the display is turned on I can unlock the device by pressing the windows-key... :eek: :eek: :eek:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryonic90:
That's not an issue, it's a feature ;)

On android phones you can unlock the phone using the 'menu' hardware key. With our builds, the windows key is mapped as the 'menu' key.

So that's why you can unlock the phone using your windows key

I think that what he is looking is that if you have the phone is you pocket and you get a incall, you don't want to answer/cancel the phone because you accidentaly push the "answer or cancel hardware button"..
