this for making launcherpro/plus look a little more like sense. this just themes the launcher. download the attatchment below. then extract the 3 photos out of the zip and place them on the root of your sdcard. then go into the launcherpro settings and click on appearance settings/dock background and then navigate to the pictures you put onto the sdcard and click on 1 of the 2 sense launcher icons. then go back home/launcherpro. long hold on each of the launcher icons at the bottom and click on "change shortcut" then click on "blank". this will get rid of all the icons at the bottom to where clicking at the bottom wont do anything. then long hold on the left/middle/right launcher icons and click "change shortcut" then you can add whatever you want to them. then after choosing the app you want, if it doesnt bring up the choose icon menu then long hold on the icon again and choose "custom icon" and then navigate to the "blank icon" photo you extracted out of the zip and it should become an invisible icon. its really alot easier than i may be making it sound. if you need any help just ask and i'll be more than happy to assist :)

and to really get the sense look, flash mrinehart93's Sense/Rosie THEME for AOSP 2.2/CyanogenMOD 6.0.0 now with themed Settings menu

thanks to incubus26jc for showing me how to do all this and providing the icons/pics :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Jozer99:
Firstly let me say I really appreciate all the hard work done on the Tilt, both on updating Windows Mobile and on porting Android.

I installed Myn's Warm Doughnut on my Tilt a few months back, and even then, the release was a few months old. Now I come back to the android development forum, and I see the same releases as last time I looked. Android on the Tilt is cool, but there certainly seems like there is a lot more work to be done (video play back, GPS fixes that take less than 10 minutes, drivers for 2.0+ builds). Is anyone still working on the Android ports, or have things kind of flat lined?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
There is still quite a bit of development activity, although it tends to be quietly bubbling away, under the surface.

There is less build development, since most of the main builds are development-stable, and updates are mainly incorporation of new fixes.

Regarding GPS, cell tower location is now working, so now fixes are a lot faster, which is a recent development.

So development is not dead, merely simmering :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Seriously? The way I see it things are moving forward rapidly.

When I started running Android I started with Polymod 2.1g and it ran but it was slow and buggy. The audio system kept turning off, needing a reboot to start again. GPS was updating slowly, if at all, and always ended with a kernel panic sooner or later.

I've seen a lot of builds come and go (after all, eclair is eclair, donut is donut, don't expect the builds to change much). Still things has happend. We don't need to run a higher res at the wrong aspect ratio. Pretty much everything runs fine in QVGA now. It's surprisingly stable and we even have good Froyo release long before most "real" android phones.

The kernel and the libs however have changed a lot, to the better. Audio system is much more stable, we now have 11Mb more useable RAM. Camera works in Donut, Eclair and Froyo. BT works except for A2DP in eclair. The Kaiser GPS is usable now. There are still some issues, especially in software that turns the GPS on and off often but compared to when I tried it for the first time it's a very big difference. We have just recently got network location working, SIM pincode support and working 2G/3G swithing on GSM models (Kaiser/Polaris).

And also dzo is working hard bringing the kernel up to 2.6.32: http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.n....git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-vogue-2.6.32

Maybe it depends on you expectations but the way I look at it, development is progressing very well. And if you still think it's moving to slowly, ask yourself what _you_ can do to help it get better. There are still a lot of loose ends that needs attention.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] duke911:
Things are definitely going quite fast around here, just take a look at other phones and you'll see that -ported- Android on these devices is not as usable as it is on the kaiser. Keep in mind that Kaiser was released in 2007, so it's really great to see such attention for an old device.

I tried Android when it first came long time ago (a year or more), and it was in early stages back then. It wasn't usable, but a good preview.

In April I tried Myn's Warm Doughnut build, and it worked quit fine. since then, I tried most of the builds out there. every few days there is a new update and a new release.

I wanted to get rid of my Kaiser when I got the HD2, but since I installed android, I found myself using it more than HD2 ;)

My advice: try VaniljEclair, it's very stable, and after a while it gets very fast. few issues here and there, but overall, very usable:cool:
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
When I hit the power button to blank the screen, it definately turns off the GPS and appears to turn off a couple of other things as well.

Can anyone corroborate that pressing the power button to blank the sceen is doing a lot more than just blanking the screen?
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I know you can have things set that way. Such as wifi turning off with the screen.
[Captivate General] cesierra:
Is there a way to turn off the screen without turning off the GPS?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Why would you want too?
[Captivate General] Ikonomi:
If you have, for example, Google Maps open and want to check your location, it can be a pain to wait for the GPS to re-initialize when you turn the screen back on. It would also be useful when using Position Test or GPS Test to not have to keep the screen on while you're using it. It feels like a crapshoot every time the GPS turns on whether it will function properly.

Does the GPS turn off with the screen when Navigation is running, as well?
[Captivate General] schoolboy:
I don't know what I have set differently but I've had the gps shouting out directions with the screen off. I kind of like it, less distracting. Now as far as reliability ... It sent me completely in the wrong direction once and couldn't find satellites another time when I was completely lost.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
I got me a new 16GB class 6 card to store all my music. Today, i transferred a few albums to see how fast the card was.

The weird thing was, the music app no longer read any of the metadata. It read it fine before i did the OTA update (but i forget how long ago the sing files were on). I haven't changed the format of my music (.m4a @ 400kbps) so i'm not sure why it's not reading the meta data.

It seems that no app will read the meta data or that for some reason the metadata won't copy over. It's not the card either because just yesterday (on my original microSD card), the phone didn't read the meta data.

Any info/help is appreciated.

So trying to apply the 8/1 update (skipping earlier leaks) and am getting this when loading the update.zip in recovery

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command (this comes up before even trying to run the update)

--Install From sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I unrooted, reformatted, and get this problem when trying to flash the 8/1 radio.

I rerooted and navigated to the folder and command doesn't exist inside recovery. does anyone else have something in there?

any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeyItsLou:
First things first have you upgraded to a 2.xx radio yet?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
no I'm still on 1.00.03.04.06

anytime I try to load ether of these files from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742242

I get that error. I know I'm naming them properly so that shouldn't be the problem.

Do I have to update using the original radio leaks first?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
Turn off signature verification in clockwork mod recovery. It wont check for a signature and should proceed as normal. Btw, this should have been posted in either the leaks thread, or in general. Mods please move. Don't forget to search man. I kno I've seen this same problem at least a dozen times on this forum.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeyItsLou:
well you're trying to do all of this at the right time due to some hard work by unrEVOked we now have s-off and permanent nand unlock so this process should be quite painless.

Step 1: Apply the unrEVOked forever patch

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever#custom_splash

Step 2: Flash a 2.xx radio

http://adrynalyne.stfuthxbye.net/rad...28/PB31IMG.zip

Step 3: You don't need to rename the 8/1 leak update.zip just download the zip file place it on the root of your SD card reboot into clockwork recovery choose the option which allows you to pick a zip from your SD card find the 8/1 leak and select it.

Step 4: Reboot and enjoy.

Hope this helps

Lou

EDIT: the link I provided for the radio no longer works however if you apply the unrevoked forever patch and then try to flash the leak it should update your radio there's a radio file within the leak now that you have s-off and nand unlock this should work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
I don't know if I want to use Forever yet since its supposed to be irreversible right?

As far as turning off signature verification in clockwork, I'm following the walkthrough in this link and it says you need to be unrooted to update the radio so I won't have clockwork to do that when I try updating.

or have things changed since then and can you now flash radios while rooted?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeyItsLou:
yes the unrevoked forever is permanent however it's going to make things just like what you're trying to do a lot easier. I recommend it. The only reason we had to downgrade before to upgrade our radio was because of the s-off and nand issues the unrevoked forever fixes those problems so we never have to go through that mumbo jumbo again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
I definitely see the benefit of using it, but there is still a chance right now that I may bring my phone into a verizon store. In the future when I'm more certain I will more than likely use it, just for now I'd prefer to avoid it while I can.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerf:
you need to be unrooted to apply the radio update but then you need to reroot and get CWM Recovery to install the new 2.2 leak 8/1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737400

Follow that guide but just use the 8/1 leak instead of the 7/27 and your set.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrailBlazer31:
I am in the same boat man, and know what you mean about irreversible. here is what you do.

First off USE TITANIUM BACKUP TO BACK UP APPS AND DATA!!

downgrade to stock by placing the stock image (found Here and use these steps to install:

1. Place PB31IMG.zip on root of SD Card

2. Reboot

3. Hold Down Vol Down into HBoot

4. It will ask if you want to update

5. Select Up to accept

6. Wait..........

7. it'll finish updating and ask to reboot

8. select vol + to choose yes

9. Done

Next Run Unrevoked 3.1 found Here (this will root and flash coustom recovery on your stock image) Now your Incredible is as fresh as the day you bought it, but with root and custom recovery.

You will now be able to use run Clockwork and install the 8-1 Froyo leak found here

When it is all over, you can find Titanium backup again in the market and use it to re install missing Apps and App Data (DO NOT RESTORE ANY SYSTEM DATA! JUST APPS AND APP DATA!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
so I have to apply the 7/27 while unrooted first? Then I root and do the 8/1 leak?

I just applied 7/27 and that worked, so now I'm going to root again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrailBlazer31:
Its best to go from stock image to 8-1 leak. Follow instructions at the last post on page 1.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerf:
did you read what I just wrote at all?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
ok, so back to stock. Root, then 8/1 leak through clockwork.

I must have rooted and gone back to stock at least 3 times today trying to figure out the proper procedure. Not to mention countless times to recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerf:
just follow the guide for the 7/27 leak and dont skip any steps that it says and you will be fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrailBlazer31:
or my guide.....whatever :p

sum it up:

1. Back to stock

2. Use Unrevoked to get Root

3. Install 8/1 leak

:)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
Conflicting info doesn't help...

Option 1: Stock, Install 7/27 leak, root, then install 8/1 leak

Option 2: Stock, root, install 8/1 leak
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerf:
yup exactly what he said... didnt think it was that hard lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
ugh, and after i already installed 7/27. the usual method for going back to stock isn't working now ether.

just went ahead and am now install 8/1 over 7/27, will see what happens...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
8/1 installed fine, everything seems to be ok. Waiting on Skyraider 2.5 before I flash.

Is there anyway to downgrade the radio and redo all this without using the 7/27 leak? or is it not worth it?

EDIT: will a nandroid backup restore the older radio if I made it before all this nonsense?

[Vibrant Accessories] spiz516:
It's a brand new technology. Micro USB to HDMI hasn't existed until now (recently), so don't expect it to be cheap for at least a year or so.
[Vibrant Accessories] Breach:
It's unlikely to be just a cable. There will probably be a "lump" in the cable holding some electronics.

If it was as simple as a straight cable, someone would have leaked the pinouts and I would be making my own since both micro-usb and hdmi ends are available at most electronics shops online.

micro hdmi for evo and micro usb for vibrant have different sizes... micro hdmi does not match on a vibrant...

Has anyone on this forum purchased the MICRO USB to HDMI cable?

You can pick the cable up here. I would imagine that cable, plus a few bluetooth controllers and an SNES emulator, would ROCK!

They don't work. The Vibrant doesn't have this capability. You have to live with streaming through Allshare or something similar, or using the TV-Out cable for your headphone jack.

STEP by STEP instructions to update to PRI 1.40_003

As posted by thisizaremix

After trying almost every way imaginable to update my PRI for a month, I finally seen a post of what someone did and I did what they did and got the update in one try.

I will attempt to give the best instructions I can on how to update the PRI on your EVO since I know so many people have been trying for so long now.

Step 1

Boot into Recovery and Nandbackup your Evo.

Step 2

Follow this link and follow the posters instructions for installing recovery RA-evo-v1.8.0.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

Step 3

Follow this link and grab the zip for "HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed" and put it on your SD card.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743352

Step 4

Follow this link and grab the zip for "Fresh Evo 3.1.0.2" and put it on your SD card.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743079

Step 5

Boot into Recovery and flash the zip file from step 3. (HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed)

Step 6

Reboot system and when your Evo comes up and is finished loading, enter the dialer and put in ##786#. After it loads, choose MENU, then RESET, then enter your MSL number and accept the prompts to reset your Evo. Your Evo will power off and will start up in Recovery after it wipes the system. While in Recovery, follow the next step.

Step 7

Choose the menu for "Wipe"

Choose Wipe Cache and acknowledge it

Choose Wipe Delvik and acknowledge

Choose Wipe Cache again and acknowledge

Choose Wipe Delvik again and acknowledge

Step 8

Flash the "Fresh Evo 3.1.0.2" zip file from Step 4 and reboot system when it's complete.

Step 9

Wait 10 seconds after you see the "unlock screen" menu and then unlock it and let it contact the network and do it's thing.

When this is completed, you can check your settings and see if you have PRI 1.40_003 installed. Now you can boot back into Recovery and NandRestore your system that you backed up in Step 1.

I am confident that it will work for you if you follow the instructions exactly as it worked for me on the first try after trying to get this update for almost a month...

GOOD LUCK!
