[Nexus One Android Development] rpcameron:
You would need to have root access to modify the APKs of protected and system apps. If you updated the application, it's manifest.xml would have to be changed again, too. I'm not completely certain that if you did this to Market apps if they would be updatable because of signing issues; you could do an adb pull, modify the manifest.xml, then adb push the file back, but if it's modified, I'm not sure that the Package Installer would allow the installation because of the signature.

As far as an application to automate this, I'm not sure if the permissions system on Android allows modification of another app's APK. In theory, the application would scan every APK, examine the manifest.xml of each one, and make a list of which apps respond to which Intents. It could then selectively modify the APKs (and possibly re-zipalign), but I'd rather have a slightly over-populated Share menu than deal with the hassles of broken Market application updates because my installed apps are no longer properly signed.
[Nexus One Android Development] the orange bandit:
Unfortunately, I think I agree with this.

Perhaps it would be easier to figure out a way to re-organize this list so that the apps that I'm actually going to use show up at the bottom (closer to the toolbar) instead of the top? Hypothetically, this would only involve finding the code that populates this list and changing 'descending' to 'ascending', right?
[Nexus One Android Development] bcpk:
Rather than modifying the apps, wouldn't it be easier to have an exceptions list that the Share menu just ignores? I know that's not a very technical explanation, but what I'm trying to say is a more centralized solution where you cut out programs regardless of whether or not they have made themselves available for the Share menu.
[Nexus One Android Development] str4vag:
Would be nice to edit this. If i remember correctly, during the Donut days, Cyanogen was experimenting with adding bluetooth share to the gallery app. In his code, he made an error that resulted in the "share" menu to be empty if if bluetooth is turned off. Meaning, Picasa, email, twidryod and everything else won't be there if bluetooth is turned off.

So this means that there was a way to make things disappear from the list.
[Nexus One Android Development] the orange bandit:
Interesting - I'll have to see if I can find out how.

Unfortunately, I couldn't code my way out of a paper sack, so at some point I'm going to have to find someone to actually *do* this for us.
[Nexus One Android Development] techcraver:
I would love this feature too. I currently have so many choices, I can't even see Pixelpipe on the list. I don't need to send photos to Google Googles.

I appreciate the option to, but I'd love to turn it off by app.
[Wildfire General] h0nza:
Hello,

is there any chance to disable Sense on Wildfire? For me is original android more attractive than htc sense:-).

I found some guides for Desire but don`t know if it works on this phone.

Thanks
[Wildfire General] fishb00n:
why dont u just try it?

you have to uninstall sense in the programs i guess

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0hJIKVMFyM
[Wildfire General] kogaht:
or if you dont want to remove just navigate to htc sense and click on clear defaults or something similar. then click home you can choose android.
[Wildfire General] h0nza:
i was a bit worried to use some guides from other phones i m new on android :-) i used 4yrs wm so i need to adapt to android os ... iac thank you for answers !
[Wildfire General] sk1786:
its easy.

go to settings->Applications->Manage applications->look for HTC Sense->Clear Defaults.

Than only press the Homescreenbutton and your wildfire will ask you, if you want to start the standartscreen or htc-sense. Than you can set new defaults ;)
[Wildfire General] Trism:
That's the way I did it! I much prefer the plain Android to the Sense, my only slight issue is that there are only 3 home screens. Does anyone know if there's any way to add more?
[Wildfire General] ganzeveld:
What you can also do, when you are in the main home screen:

Select: menu-scenes-and there is an option for a clean scene (in Dutch Schone lei).

When you selected this option, you can put in any widget/ application etc...

You will keep the 5 home screens and change wallpaper etc.

When you have done this all, you can save your scene via the same order (menu-scenes etc).

Good luck!

Dave
[Wildfire General] Trism:
Just out of interest, does anyone know how you get Sense back after removing is as default?
[Wildfire General] Jallenbo:
By removing "Home" as default the same place sk1786 wrote:

go to settings->Applications->Manage applications->look for HTC Sense->Clear Defaults.

Except you should look for "Home" instead of "HTC Sense"
[Wildfire General] Trism:
Yup, that makes "Sense" :D I apologise for my terrible puns. Thanks for the help!
[Wildfire General] Makavelina:
Guys, this do not work for me... When I Clear Defaults, all that happens is it makes HTC Sense looking "Default," the way it looks when I first turned it on, no choice between Home and HTC Sence.. any ideas?
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Clear defaults and press home button?
[Wildfire General] Makavelina:
Did that, but it only sets HTC Sense to default..
[Wildfire General] kikloo:
Hello,

I have removed the HTC Sense but now how do I put an icon so the dialer should popup ? So that I don't have to click on the Arrow then scroll to People and then make a call.

Thanks.
[Wildfire General] wildmac96:
hi if i was to do this is there anyway to get sense back if i dont get on with standard if so how?? please could you message me thanks :confused:
[Wildfire General] tigger69:
Go to settings/applications/manage applications, find home and click on clear defaults, press home, it will give you an option for normal home or htc sense home.
[Wildfire General] wildmac96:
oh right ok thank you this helps alot:D
[Wildfire General] wildmac96:
so if i was to have normal and didnt like it i could change back to htc sense using what youve said yeah??? (sorry but im new to all this so :) )
[Wildfire General] tigger69:
I think you can, if that dont work, try and click clear defaults on htc sense instead of normal home, it should still give you the option when you press home for home, or sense.
[Wildfire General] wildmac96:
ok thanks .... have you tried what you first said or not?? as i am jubious about doing something that i might not be able to reverse???
[Wildfire General] tigger69:
Yes i have tried it myself. It does not remove sense.
[Wildfire General] heady2k:
i need the same answer please ... :-)

there's just an icon to browse the "normal" menu.
[Wildfire General] thearif:
Does not "press and hold on yhe home screen" work? You just have to create a shortcut to the dialer application.
[Wildfire General] iondarie:
hello guys i would like to thank you for this wonderfull thread you made my day :D i am rid of the htc sense ui :D, but still i got 1-2 questions if u dont mind:

1. how can i change the theme to white/orange (menus / top status bar) i had an android phone a few months ago and i remember it had a white/orange theme

2. where can i get more widgets :D ?

btw i forgot to mention i am new to this phone and operating system

thank you for your time!
[Wildfire General] Jwtiyar:
there is any more screen to download except launchpro ?

thnaks
[Wildfire General] samfc3:
Hi,

I have two questions:

1. Is your phone any faster without sense?

2. I prefer the look of sense, so does it without sense look different in FroYo?

sorry for bad english.
[Wildfire General] fugeetive:
and i have one question for to using wildfire without htc sense.. is it make any change for battery usage ?
[Wildfire General] jwils96:
ADW.launcher

openhome

aHome

livehome..

just search the market for "launcher"
[Wildfire General] warpa:
I tried this after upgrading my Wildfire to 2.2. There is no stock launcher. There is HTC sense only. Note that this does not apply if you are using a launcher from Android Market.
[Wildfire General] :
It won't work. I've tried it myself. Why don't you root it and install Cyanogenmod 6.1 if you want AOSP (No-Sense) Froyo. :D
[Wildfire General] :
hello....i am just tring to do this on wildfire s and i cant find the hone in the manage application....i can find only the 2 HTC sense
[Wildfire General] diamonds:
try Launcher 7 based on windows phone 7
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsttimer44:
Now that 2.2 has been released and there are a lot of stable froyo ROMS available which one are you running?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Been running Fresh 3.1.0.1, but Damage released their full Froyo last night so I'll be flashing that today. Fresh has been great, especially for battery life. I expect DC will be just as good. I hope they get the new DConfig out soon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsttimer44:
I am running fresh 3.1 and VERY HAPPY with the battery and how stable it is. 2.1 at 6 mflops to 38 mflops on 2.2=sexy
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts_mpls:

[XPERIA X10 General] GlennQ:
Ever since the big update (023 or what it was called) my phone reboots its self now and then when I let it sit. It startaed doing it once a week then it started doing it many times a day. 5 days ago I did a repair and it has worked fine until today. It reboots it self again and you're stuck at the pin code.

I've heard that I'm not alone with this problem but few people seem to care. Well I care, A LOT.

How do I fix this.

Obviously it's something SE's done given the fact that it started after the big update.

Im starting to get very tired of this piece of crap and will soon flush it down the toilet. Hang ups, slow interface, reboots, poor screen sensitivity after a while, rediculous sound quality, poor bluetooth support. This is my last SE phone, they're totally incompetent. I tend to use my 9 million year old Nokia handset more than this infernal piece of f**k.

Well .. thanks ..
[XPERIA X10 General] tidy:
memory card error ! try copyin all your stuff on your pc then format the card in your phone then copy back worked for me !
[XPERIA X10 General] eazyrider:
Oh FFS dont say that! You will get flamed on here by the kids who think this phone showed apple how to do it.

Slag the X10 of at your own peril! All I did was ask one question and made a comment about 2.1 on the phone and got 3 pages of people phanboying it up.

Your right though the phone is **** and mine is up for sale to get a Galaxy S :rolleyes: But thanks for the tip I shall format the card so when I sell it it wont reboot while they are looking at it.
[XPERIA X10 General] krazykirk:
My phone keeps rebooting, and I don't care.

Just kidding. I had this problem before, but it seems to be better now. I was using the program Vault, and I hid away "Backup and Restore" and "SIM Toolkit". After I restored them to normality, I stopped having phone restarting issues. :)

Also, please don't start a flame war with your complaints about your phone. No one else seems to be having as many issues as you, it is probably something you are doing wrong.
[XPERIA X10 General] eazyrider:
See it's saying thing like that that adds fuel to the flames! Its an open forum so people can express opinions on it yet all I read on here is:

"It's your fault you cant use the phone" this does nothing but incite a retaliation from the poster as if some one said "It's not your girlfriends fault she doesn't cum its yours, I mean she cum for me last night" it would get your back up.

If somebody express an opinion about something does not mean they want a flame war I simply expressed my opinion and agreed with what the OP said. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] GlennQ:
What do you mean by "I hid away"?. You mean that you just uninstalled Backup & Restore? I have not installed SIM Toolkit whatever that is.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
same problem here.

phone reboots once or twice a day and it gets stuck at the pin screen.

this is really annoying.:(

will try to format the card, and there is another thread were someone said he replaced the battery and the problem was gone.
[XPERIA X10 General] GlennQ:
Found the probable cause of the reboot problem:

Check the "[GUIDE] SIM Card Locks randomly - Howto solve. (rooted SE X10i/a phones only)" in the X10 Anroid Development section.

Try killing Backup & Restore in the Program menu and voilá, the famous SIM card kill bug.

I disabled the SIM card PIN code so it doesn't stick there. The bug is still there but the phone works.

Great work SE - No just kidding - You bunch of amateurs.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
well ... the method is for rooted devices, so there is no solution for this yet.

i did format the card to see if i solved anything.:(
[XPERIA X10 General] tidy:
if it reboots when your reading from the card like useing MP3s or looking at photos ! its becuase ther is a bad sector try poping your card in a card reader then let windows tell you there is a error and let it fix this !
[XPERIA X10 General] Shonan_:
i know this sounds stupid but i too had this problem and hav noticed it does it when the battery is at a certain temp (hot) i mite be wrong !!! or is it just a coincidence
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
Well... formating the card does not help.

Any other ideas?

:mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] Vin87:
Do you use a taskkiller? If so stop killing 'backup and restore' .

You don't need a taskkiller on Android. The whole problem with this bug is that people are trying to kill apps/services that shouldnt be killed in the first place.
[XPERIA X10 General] sysconp1:
This is a firmware bug...

I have had a similar problem... however my phone is a new one from the SE repair facility in Poland. It has the latest firmware and the phone exhbits the rebooting with no SIM or SD card installed. The problem also doesn't appear to be related to battery temperature as it can also occur from cold.

I will try an unbranding and see if the same issue exists.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
I am not using any task killer.:(
[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
Mine just started rebooting itself today too after owning it for two weeks. Have been updated to firmware 026 rooted for a few days and notice it only does it when the battery reaches lower than 50%. Gonna re flash it tomorrow and re root it. Reformat the sd card. Will update on if it keeps rebooting.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
I did a Reset To Factory defaults and 24 hours whitout phone reset.I hope this did it.:(
[XPERIA X10 General] GlennQ:
That did't do the trick for me. Taskkillers will force the bug to trigger, so will the backup & restore program (that seems to runt constantly).

The fix would be to: FIX THE FREAKING BUG IN THE BACKUP & RESTORE PROGRAM, or simply delete it (which is impossible now).

Idiot SE.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, it seems mine is rebooting too.

I don't know how often... i just saw it once... out of the blue.

Phone was in standby when happened.

I watching tv and i saw the display turned on with the boot animation and then i figured out what happened.

I uninstalled the backup tool with Titanium. Let's see...
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
2 day and no reset,i am happy:p

[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeno314:
It seems like every ROM out there with Sense still has the HTC Mail app, which I absolutely hate (among other reasons (it is ugly and a pain to use), it can't handle multiple Exchange accounts).

There used to be a flashable .zip out there from Calkulin of the AOSP e-mail client, but if I recall correctly it quit working at some point along the way and started causing FCs.

Simply copying the AOSP client from non-Sense ROMs doesn't seem to work either.

I would make an installable/flashable version if I could, but at this point that's a little above my head...I'm not much of a java/dalvik person, so I am *really* confused by the android source tree and why I can't just type make in the email app directory and get it done.

Bit of a digression, but yeah, does anyone have the AOSP email client in an installable form that works on current FroYo ROMs?

P.S. Bonus if someone can remove the stupid 30 day max limit on Exchange mail in the AOSP client...I don't understand why they put that in there...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bang3r:
Is this what you're looking for?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745065
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeno314:
Not exactly, I'm not having problems with the security policy (while the HTC client does enforce them, the AOSP e-mail client doesn't enforce the lockscreen one, which is all I would care about anyway).

The time limit for old messages is just the client, since the HTC one can display all old Exchange mail.

However, kudos as I did find an installable version of the AOSP mail client in a thread linked from that one (I've been looking for days!).

Link is here for those interested:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bang3r:
Cool. I think it's actually basically the same .apk, but from different developers. The one you used should disable the securty policy as well, but both are the AOSP email app, just with that modification.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonitorMonkey:
So Xeno, did this work for you...I am in a very similar situation and would like to switch to the AOSP email.

Any issues?

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeno314:
Sorry for the delay, yes this worked for me, but this was obviously waaay back. I think I've been running all AOSP ROMs since the Gingerbread ones became stable, so obviously the AOSP client works there, though it does enforce that damned policy. However, I ran the AOSP client I linked above with every 2.2 Sense ROM I had with no issues with either of the Exchange servers I use.

You just got me to thinking about security and the 2.3 AOSP client...not sure I know enough about where the hooks are to produce a similar client for Gingerbread, but I may look at that this week, because I'm tired of having to use the pass code, plus it often 'breaks' when I flash new kernels/etc, not letting me past the code input screen even when I use the correct code.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhsinghy:
hi guys, ive flashed a couple of different froyo roms and decided to stick to FroyoRedux 1.5

reason for all this reflashing.......when using 3G networks i randomly get no signal for about 2 minutes and then its back again. im not too sure why this is happening and wondering if anyone else encountered the same problem?

there seems to be no problem with 2G networks but being on 2G is lame and makes mobile internet kinda pointless.

BTW problem still persists in FroyoRedux 1.5

phone specs are in the sig (if you wanna know what im using)

cheers!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenity:
Had this issue on my kaiser running froyo also, went to an older radio which fixed it, and amazingly enough, the same happened on my G1, and the same step fixed it.

Using radio 2.22.23.02 I had regular 'no signal' issues, going back to 2.22.19.26I solved it for me, I still get signal loss on occasion, but only in known very low signal areas,
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhsinghy:
hmmm interesting, im gunna give this a try and see what the outcome is.

did u just flash the old radio file over your current one or did you use a specific procedure?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Benjamin Dobell:
There are a couple of threads around at the moment that are eluding to a 850 MHz version of the Galaxy S. I'm currently using an original UK I9000 (900/2100 MHz) and am sick of the terrible service of 900 MHz carriers in Australia.

As such, when people start getting their hands on 850 MHz unlocked Galaxy S would they mind listing the following information.

- Reseller / Carrier (if they sell outright)

- Reseller / Carrier Shipping Destinations

- Price

- Firmware Version

- Locked / Unlocked

Semi-related, I contacted HTC Australia a couple of times when I was considering purchasing the Desire. HTC confirmed with me that all versions of the Desire are absolutely identical in terms of hardware. This confirmed the research I had performed that the HTC's/Nexus' radio chip has the ability to support both 850/900 MHz (not necessarily simultaneously). So it is definitely the case that flashing firmware onto your phone can convert a 900 MHz phone to a 850 MHz phone or vice versa. However, the firmware that needs to be flashed probably isn't directly flashable using standard android tools. You probably require physical access to the radio frequency chip to flash firmware onto the chip as well as corresponding firmware onto the phone. Where I'm going with all this is...

If we have any electronically inclined people on these forums, on top of the above information I would love to know if someone is willing to investigate whether it is possible to dump radio chip firmware from their 850 MHz device.

EDIT: I'll include the list of phones below.

------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: The online store appears to only sell to customers so you definitely have to live in Canada in order to get the phone shipped to you.
