[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SE7EN-:
I'm a widget guy myself but I think because the way this app updates and notifies you in the taskbar it sort of eliminates the need for a widget. I'd still like the option to use one tho.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] brunes:
See, I don't like twitter noifications. I follow so many I would get a notification every 30 seconds.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SE7EN-:
I see what you mean. Its still in beta so maybe a widget is in the works if enough people ask for one.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] freekyfrogy:
Yeah no widget so far. I definitely would love to have one though. About getting a notification every thirty seconds... Why would you have notifications for tweets turned on? I always just turn on notifications for direct messages and @replies :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] brunes:
That is what I said.... thats why I want a widget.

Hey guys,

I am a total newb on all this debranding, flashing business. Spend the past week checking all sorts of forums etc and also waiting endlessly for froyo to be released to our Desires! Problem is i am still a bit unclear, so if anyone could give me help, that'd be really nice :D

Ok, here is the thing:

I have an Orange branded phone, got it via phones4u on orange, ive already unlocked it with a code and currently using 02 Sim on it.

I'd like to retain my warranty, so wouldn't like to root, so my other choice is flashing it right ? :S

I just want the stock froyo on my HTC, but since its orange branded i heard that there might be some problems with radio or something :S

Tbh, I dont even know what radio means! LOL i just want the stock Froyo released by HTC, on my phone without waiting for orange to bring their crapped down version :D

Any help, please!!!

PS: ive got a spar memory card for any gold card business, just need some pointers for that :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
De-branding could technically void your warranty but you'll need to search for making a goldcard on the forum and then flash with either 2.1 and update via OTA or Froyo (though I'm not sure that's possible just yet).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polesp:
oh i see , once i flash it , will i have to install anything else like radios etc? :S

By using the stock rom, does it mean that, next time htc releases a update i can just do it ota?

there is no other way apart from voiding warranty is there ?:S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
As you've already unlocked you're good to go! The whole thing should take about 30 minutes but you'll lose all you're data.

I think you'll have to void your warranty but I reckon it's worth it to rid of Monopoly, Bowling, and Orange-bloody-Messenger and get Froyo now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polesp:
just one thing what are the chances of my phone bricking up and where can i get the stock rom with froyo released by htc? Also once i got the stock rom, what happens with updates? will OTA be working properly or do i have to reflash it everytime there is an update??

can someone show me a step by step guide on how to do this all? :O

I am a total newb on this :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SavCom:
Well I've just stepped through that portal... Unlocked the phone then OTA 2.1 update followed by OTA 2.2 stock rom. Now running Froyo on 'Orange' phone.

Flawless, just going through my apps now. Needed the newest version of HTC Sync though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polesp:
oh i see, could you please show me where you got the instructions to get your phone unbranded, where you got the roms and radios etc? still not 100% sure on how to do that :O

Ive decided i am gonna get rid of all this orange crap lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xhaleklr:
I was wondering if there is a way to set up a schedule for when the stock windows mobile email program on the Tilt 2 can send/receive emails. I have it set to rend/receive every half hour, but I don't want it to keep sending/receiving while I am sleeping because of the tone and flashing led when I get new emails. I also do not want to turn off the tone or led during the day because I work in a loud environment, and without these things I may not know when I get new messages.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xhaleklr:
bump......
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BiOs2k:
Hi, maybe this can help you, It work with my GMAIL account (sync with m.google.com (ms exchange))

Go in ActiveSync, chose menu and go to Schedule. You can use peak time at bottom.

If you have Hotmail

go to windows mail, then choose menu,tools,options. chose HotMail and go in Sync Schedule.

You have the option ''during these times''

I have my GMAIL and Hotmail no sync when I sleep. so it don't ring if I receive a new mail.

Hope that help you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smac7:
if your ever playing any games and you accidently hit home or any other button then you know what im talking about. since the buttons are touch sensitive you may get some accidental clicks. i wish there was a way you could lock the bottom row of buttons, not sure if its possible though. maybe by combining two of the physical buttons (such as volume up and down) we could lock the bottom row until we need to use those keys again and then we could unlock in a similar fashion. is there anyway possible someone could develop this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:
+1 for this. I like the idea of it being toggled with volume buttons, or maybe long pressing the power button and adding it to that menu. It would have to be included in a rom though, you cant give that power to just any app. or you'll never be able to close it without rebooting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tornadobarrage:
every time i watch a video a hit the search button by mistake. i really wish someone would do this. also it would be better if you hold volume up and power buttons.

Ya I actually just had it happen again with gvba. Note: it really sucks if you accidently hit the back button. Lock please!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mfastcom:
Hello

Im currently using TYTN II WM6.5 and recently bought headphones with remote control (RC E100). Eversince Ive bought the headphones only work with AudioManager(AM)App which is very limited in what it can do compared with other apps such as Pocket Music(PM).

My dilema is that everytime I attempt to map keys using PM event is unrecognised and instead opens AudioManager instead which can be very annoying. Does enyone know how to override AM so that I can use other apps?

your help would be very much appreciated

I have pandora on my device and it will randomly stop playing. I have to skip to the next song for it to reload and start playing again. Anybody else with this issue? Not due to bad connectivity because it happens when im still.
[Captivate General] J4CC3B:
The only time Pandora has messed up on me is when I'm nearing 30 percent on my battery. Other than that it works fine. Try clearing the app data cache and if that doesn't work reinstall it.
[Captivate General] perium:
I dont have any issues with it either.
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:

[=--- Original Post ---=]

Hey Everyone,

I'm about to release this into the Market, but wanted some preliminary input. I've noticed a lot of people in forums requesting a 1x1 unread e-mail widget for those running HTC Sense and the included mail application. I've completed a widget that does this, though unfortunately it requires Root because it must open some of the HTC Sense databases. It shows a compiled total of all unread mail in all inboxes. When clicked, it opens the HTC Mail reader to it's last state.

[[ To be clear, this works with ALL E-mail accounts, Exchange, POP, IMAP, etc. Not just GMail like many of the other widgets out there now. ]]

I was originally planning to make the widget support a single inbox at a time, so you could run a different instance of the widget with a different icon for each of your mail accounts, but after going through the HTC dex files, I'm not sure how I could have it call up a specific mail account when clicked on.

Also, I've yet to determine how HTC signals their own widget to update the counts. Until I figure that out, it currently updates whenever the screen is turned on.

Thoughts, input, suggestions?

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:
I've actually created a version to work with the stock email reader as well.
[Android Software Development] Snowtoad23:
I currently have an "Gmail Unread Count" or something widget on Sense which does exactly this, very customizable (choose what icon etc) and I don't have root access.
[Android Software Development] pman219:
I am extremely interested in this.

Droid X
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this only grabs the "Gmail" unread counts, not other accounts you're syncing through the phone, right?
[Android Software Development] pman219:
You are correct... only gmail
[Android Software Development] pman219:
Mind if I test it ?
[Android Software Development] All Day On XDA:
I would be interested in this too.

Any chance you could also add an option to only make it count unread mail for a certain label. And then have multiple instances of the widget so it's easy to monitor said labels.

Would happily test and pay for it as it is a feature many people have been yearning for.
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:
This is a great idea. I'll look into this. Thanks!

Testing shouldn't be necessary, I've got a few different phones I'm trying it out on. I'll throw it up in the market soon, and put a post here when it's there.
[Android Software Development] All Day On XDA:
You're a star! Thanks so much
[Android Software Development] usrname:
@Fmstrat

that qould be great. I'm also very interested in this widget :)
[Android Software Development] LudoGris:
Will this be available on additional launchers instead of just Sense? I am using an Evo but have Launcher Pro as my default home. I do miss the count on the Sense widget, but not enough to switch back.
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:
Does Launcher Pro have it's own email client? This Widget is based specifically on the client. For instance, I'm running Sense, but have installed the stock vanilla 2.2 email client through an APK. I then run the Vanilla version of the widget for the stock email client, OR I can run the Sense version for the HTC client.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] All Day On XDA:
@FMstrat

Are my PMs reaching you?
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:
Yup, just responded. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] squire23:
Also very interested in this. Have found that Androids lack of good email widgets and apps to be very disappointing. Gmail Unread Count is good but is very tempremental about how many accounts it can handle. Cuurentlt I'm rocking 3 Gmail accounts & a MS Exchange account. This app would be greatly appreciated
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:
How do you have them all set up? 1 in the Gmail app, 2 in IMAP? All in one? etc. I may want you to do a test run for me before I release if you don't mind, as that's a pretty extreme case.

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] squire23:
Yeah.

Gmail Unread App - use this for my main personal Gmail account

HTC Stock Email App - use this for the other 2 Gmail accounts (1 business / 1 forums/eBay) + my current MS Exchange account

It's cumbersome to say the least. The HTC Stock Email app is okay but to be honest it's slow, not very user-friendly & looks crap. I thought I might be able to split the accounts easily with Gmail Unread app but I find that really is very difficult to add an 2nd account not to mind a 3rd. Sometimes it'll work but more often than not - it won't.

Using Android 2.1 on HTC Legend. Not rooted (no need!).
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:
Unfortunately root is required for this widget to read HTC's mail database. If you're willing to root, I haven't had a Sense 2.1 tester yet.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Fmstrat:
I just wanted to give everyone an update since it's been a while (I was traveling last week, and will be again next week). I'm applying for the Market and adding in code for Licensing and Versioning now. The widget will be released very soon after that, and has been renamed 1x1 Ultimate Unread Widget. I will post again with a market link when it's out.

If there are any other mail readers people would like added for phase 2, such as K9, or any other features, such as icon switching, or changing the update frequency, let me know. The more requests (public, no PM please) for an item, the higher I will place it in the list.

Thanks again for the interest.
[EVO 4G General] Originalkingpin:
First a special thanks to kushdeck for the updated signed hosts

I know many people want to support the devs, if you do then don't apply this little trick.

Many ads are ill placed on videos or other free apps, by following the instructions below, it will eliminate those annoying ads.

Tested on android 2.2 (Phone must be rooted!!!!)

1. Download signed-hosts file below.

2. Place file on root of SD card

3. Reboot into recovery

4. select option to install zip from sdcard

5. Select choose zip from sdcard

6. Find and highlight Signed-hosts.zip

7. install and reboot.

8. Once phone has rebooted go to your favorite app that has ads and enjoy.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Even easier: Download AdFree from the Market.
[EVO 4G General] devin.slick:
Just removed ad-free and installed this host file.

EDIT: Seems to be working fine. Good post, thanks.
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
Will that block ads for the internet to or just apps
[EVO 4G General] Originalkingpin:
internet and apps
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Is Ad-free supposed to block app ads as well or is it just less efficient in doing so?

I've noticed Ad-free does fine blocking internet ads, but it's not as great for app adds.

Basically, is this a better alternative to using Ad-free?
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
I never liked Ad blocking from Apps.
[EVO 4G General] MSmith1:
Will this work on 2.1? Has anyone tested it on 2.1?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
AdFree does the exact same thing. It downloads a host file and replaces your current one.

It should, but so does AdFree.
[EVO 4G General] SharkUW:
Does ad-free not work on froyo or is it just not available in the ap store for it?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Not only is it in the Market, but it works flawlessly. Search for "AdFree Android."
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Neat trick! Before the days of firefox and adblock (plus) for firefox, we used to do the same thing in windows!

Is there a more recent hosts file available than 7/31/2010?
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
This is why you should just use Ad Free, lol. It will constantly keep the hosts file up to date. THIS fix is simply a one time manual way to do it, and of course is not self updating lol.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Agreed, but as part of the learning process, I try to do simple things like this manually.

From several threads on here, I compiled enough information to generate a simple dos batch file which makes use of adb. Should be run from a command prompt containing the adb executable.

It's operation is very simple, permit writing to the /system, renames existing hosts to hosts.bak, downloads new one, then change /system permissions to read only.

I called the file hosts.bat

@echo off

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb shell mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak
adb shell wget http://209.68.48.119/winhelp2002/hosts.txt -O /system/etc/hosts
adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Edit: the ip address above is just the resolved numeric equivalent of http://www.mvps.org/
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
Adfree is great but I have had problems with adfree and 4g. When I have adfree enabled and I try to browse webpages on a 4g connection, most pages won't load properly it will just hand there for a long time and then load the page.... when I disable adfree web browsing on 4g is fine....
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
DarkManX4lf , I thought adfree was just a front end for something similar to my post above (#14)?

I realize it's a bit more complicated with update checking, but is it doing anything more than that?
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Reference post #14 above.

I believe on the evo's with the 3.7 software, the file system should be

/dev/block/mtdblock4, not /dev/block/mtdblock3 .

However, even with this change, something isn't right after changing the hosts file. I get identical results replacing the file in recovery mode vs fully booted.

Epst, debug no longer works (##data#, or ##debug# from the phone screen). It shows loading, but never comes up.

I don't think see how copying the file over can break something. I suspect something else needs to be done to the file system to prevent these functions from breaking. They work properly with adfree, so it must be doing more than the above lines do.

Thoughts?
[EVO 4G General] Maxy6:
Same situation here.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Can you provide some specific sites you're having issues with?

I tried 4g here with adfree and didn't run into issues with any of the sites I tried, including several banking ssl sites.
[EVO 4G General] mrcamposd:
Me too i have issues with adblocking and this mod when i use 4G. Pages do not load fully or correctly. Literally any site.

evo 3.70

running fresh 3.5.0.1
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
This actually solved another problem with 2.2/fresh. When streaming on 3g/4g, winamp or any other player (XiiaLive for streaming), playback would be ok first few seconds, then start to blip/studder. Perhaps this fix may help your issue too. My default proxy:port were pd.vog.sprintpcs.com:8085 . Possible that it creates issues in some cases?

Note, i'm able to browse 3g/4g with adfree without this fix too, so it seems to affect some but not others.

can I ask you guys what version of copilot you are running? Im on 8.0.0.735 and when I connect to Copilot Central their are no updates??
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
You need version 8.2.0.218

Don't know why you are not seeing the update.
[Desire General] flashflash:
cheers. Just downloaded from original email when I purchased it. Dont know why Copilot Central didn't update it?? Oh well.... Many thanks
[Desire General] 6Fg8:
after installing 8.2.0.218 i've been unable to turn off that annoying key tap sound (no option in sound settings as in previous 8.0). This is what worked for me:

edit /sdcard/copilot/user.cfg

locate section [User Settings]

add this line:

"FeedbackSoundEnabled"=0

Save & enjoy the silence ;)
[Desire General] dorittos:
Great tip!!
[Desire General] rozsai:
Do you have also any idea how to turn off the annoying greeting message?

"Welcome to Copilot Live Professional"...The tap sound was successfully removed, thanks!
[Desire General] 6Fg8:
Dont have that issue, but you may try to add this, also in User Settings:

"SayWelcome"=0

HTH
[Desire General] PandaVoyageur:
Both "FeedbackSoundEnabled" and "SayWelcome" worked, thanks 6Fg8 you truly are a lifesaver!

I just don't get why they removed the checkboxes from the options interface...

Bros,

Sorry to post this thread. I am trying to unroot my HTC and follow the instruction. However, I stuck in the very first step. When I install the driver, windows inform me that it cannot find the driver from the unrevoker3 folder (where I extract the whole thing to). I am searching around and seems noone got this problem.

Can you help me?

Sorry to be so noob.

You must uninstall HTC Sync, but leave the HTC Driver.
