[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talkiet:
Hello sir - are you saying that I could get rid of the ugly Telstra boot splash screen and replace it with a stock HTC splash screen if I flashed a factory ROM? (Yes, I am talking about the boot splash, and NOT the boot animation).

Anything would be preferable to the splash of a carrier I am not even using.

If so, would I need to re-root, or would I have to de-root first, then re-root?

CHeers - N

[Desire Themes and Apps] Neo3000x:
Hi..

I updated to Froyo when the stock, rooted edition was out.. Modded it a bit and added the Circle battery mod.

I have been using the 2.2 Sense keyboard for a while to sms, browsing and so on, but since I use phone-keyboard and not QWERTY or compact QWERTY, I'm missing the old keyboard where I didn't have to press and hold "1" to make "?" and "!"..

Right right, the new keyboard is nice.. But come on, how often do you actually have to change the language of the keyboard?

As I'm from Denmark I can only speak on my own behalf: "Not that often".

Is there a way that I can get the 2.1 sense keyboard back?

If yes, how, and can you guys provide the file for me?

Thanks in advance :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] liamstears:
Yes this is very easy to do but I dont have the files at hand right now so hopefully someone else can post it for you, if not i will post 2moro

Why dont you just flash HTC_IME_MOD?? Its much better than 2.1 keyboard
[Desire Themes and Apps] Neo3000x:
But does it have phone-keyboard?

As I said, I do not like using Compact QWERTY, and rarely uses full QWERTY
[Desire Themes and Apps] liamstears:
Yes it does that's what I use :-D its basically the same as HTC 2.1 but couple extra settings :-D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Neo3000x:
Wow, sweet..

I have only seen screenshots of Compact QWERTY and QWERTY, that's why I just thought "well, doesn't support normal phone-mode then"..

Just installed it, and it is sweet, thx man!
[Desire Themes and Apps] philje123:
I too have had the same annoyances with the 2.2 keyboard.

I just use the phone keypad style one and the thing that was really really bugging me was the exclamation mark had moved and having to press the little arrow then select it.

Just installed the htc_ime mod and it's great. Some nice settings too which make it a bit more customizable.

I'm putting this out there, cuz I'm pretty sure everyone wants some sense widgets. I know JsChiSurf is like.... RIDICULOUSLY good at hacking things up and getting them working...so...if he, or anyone else wants to take a shot. I'd love to have the htc sense message widget (and even bookmarks widget) working on Non-Sense launchers. Is there anyway someone can

a) Create one from scratch that looks/acts just like the sense ones?

or

b) hack up the htc ones to work with launchers like...launcher pro, or helix, awd, etc.

I'd be willing to donate good money if someone could get this working....and I'm sure others would as well.

Post a reply if you'd be willing to donate...maybe then we'd generate more interest for devs to work on it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
The dev for launcher pro is working on recreating all of the sense widgets. I know its $2.99 for the plus version which allows you to get the extra widgets. Right now he has people widget, calander widget, and bookmark widget along with some new features.. Check it out here > http://www.launcherpro.com/?cat=3
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
+1 for LauncherPro Plus

In case you also want the number counts on the dailer/messages/gmail icons like Sense does, there is an app called SMS Unread Count.

http://android.kanokgems.com/sms-unread-count

Contrary to its name, you can make a widget for SMS, Gmail, and the Dialer. And bonus for you, for each widget you add you can choose the icon you want:

-"classic" aka 1.5 vanilla

-"eclair" aka 2.1 vanilla

-"hero" aka Sense
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Thanks guys! That's great info. I'll download lunch plus pro right now...I was looking around his website a few days ago because I heard someone say he could get sense widgets working (on this forum), but when I went to his site's forum, I saw that his most recent post said "sorry guys....there is no way to get sense widgets working". Hopefully his will be just as good.

Thanks again for the info!

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
Hey Alex, the new version of Launcher Pro Plus now has a messaging widget. Just like you asked for. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Hey Gomorrah! Long time no talk. :o I just downloaded it, and it's pretty slick! I still like the way the sense one looks a little better...but this will definitely do! :)

Our phones are getting slicker by the day! By the way...the "Post Your Screen Shot's" thread, should be called "Gomorrah's Phone Will Always Look 10 Times Cooler Than Yours" thread! ;)

Good work man!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] drizzoid:
A scrollable rss news widget which aggregates all feeds into a single stream, like the one included with sense would be amazing. Thats the only thing I miss since leaving sense.

FYI: Froyo will not play wav files... worked in 2.1, bug in 2.2.

Why does it seem I'm the only one who cares about this... I know I'm not the only guy who uses Cisco's unity messaging or vonage???

Anyone out there have a free work around or know where in the 2.2 source this is screwed up? On principle I refuse to pay $3 for a market app (remote wave) just for functionality that should be built into the stock OS.

If you care, star this:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4875
[EVO 4G General] njward75:
i care

I am also frustrated with this as well. Same thing, I have voicemails recorded as wave files in the email. Now I can't listen to them. So, do we form some sort of club for this or something? But I also have problems with the email and our Scalix client at work which I had to buy third party software to fix. I also miss voice command with windows mobile because voice dialer is absolutely worthless. Nobody seems to care about that either. What are ya going to do...
[EVO 4G General] YC Underground:
I'm also having issuse after the upgrade with wav. file. Before Froyo I was able to listen to my vonage voice mail in my email on my phone and now I can't do so anymore. Why would they disable such a playback file format. I'm thinking they rush Froyo out to soon before covering all grounds with it's use and performance.
[EVO 4G General] breezer260:
I was never able to play wav files from voicemails on my company's system with 2.1 or 2.2 but I downloaded remote wave and it works well. It's not free, I think it cost a buck or two but well worth it. It's simple however the only thing lacking is a seek or rewind feature, but hope that helps..
[EVO 4G General] bkfitz:
Yep... maybe cyanogen can find the bug in source and fix it in CM6? Here's to hoping anyway.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickromeo:
I was running an unrooted locked bootloader Nexus One Android 2.2 FRF91

then I tried this one-click root for the Nexus One found here in a post titled

"[APP] [ROOT] 1-click root for N1"

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747598

i downloaded and installed the

UniversalAndroot_1.5.3.apk file posted by ctbear

after installing it and rooting the Nexus One (according to the users on that thread the app only roots your phone, it does not unlock bootloader)

I decided to go see if I can watch hulu videos, so i uninstalled the flash player and headed over to this other post titled

"[Fix] Hulu working + Flash.apk June 17th"

i tried the apk from the original poster, and tried the updated apk file found on page 20, neither worked, even after doing the about:debug trick

so what am I missing here? How can i watch hulu videos on a Nexus One?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biofall:
I am using the specs in my sig. I am wondering if some people could help me out with my newly dowlnoaded SetCPU. I'm slightly intimidated by all the settings, and I read the entire huge faq posted by the creater, but it of course isn't device specific on actual numbers. My goal is to optimize battery life while not making my phone sluggish. If some people could post some settings, profiles, and explanations of what numbers do, hopefully we can build some perfect profile sets that can help everyone, not just me :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
All you really need to know is to set the priority highest on the things you want to trump the the other profiles (so "Screen off" should be highest, lower CPU settings like 25% should be higher than 100%), and then just let it automatically detect the high/low end settings and set from there. I suggest "Screen off" at 245/384 or even 245/245. Other than that, set the PerfLock if you don't have a custom ROM that doesn't have the PerfLock kernel enabled (stock does, I think) and then just let it set on boot. There's another thread talking about peoples' preferred profile settings.
[Desire Android Development] SavageCore:
I'm stuck, dunno if I am in setup... adb shell says no device found and no noise when plugging in usb so assume debugging is off.

USE THIS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256

Much easier. Thought i'd add a note here so it gets front page coverage :)
[Desire Android Development] :
Turn your phone off and remove PB99IMG.zip from your GoldCard. Hold vol-down + power. Wait 15 secs. Press vol-down x2, power button x1, vol-up x1. This will wipe userdata and reboot phone. Now start from step 10.
[Desire Android Development] SavageCore:
If I press search I get feedback from screen so I assume I am past setup. It's just enabling debugging now.
[Desire Android Development] live_0978:
wow, thats great. sounds very complicated to get the correct number of scroll downs! is there no way to do the blank screen fix sooner in the rooting process instead of counting?

good luck to anyone trying this then.
[Desire Android Development] :
You could try tapping the right bottom corner 13 times, but the correct number of scrolls is a better solution AFAIK.
[Desire Android Development] Myshkinbob:
Just thought i'd chip in here, if you're not sure where you are in the setup wizard, you can just restart the phone to begin it again, with...

(if bottom keys are unlit firstly)

press power short

swipe down the screen

(then)

power button long press, phone will briefly vibrate

joystick up a few times

joystick click

joystick click

That's to say, you don't need to wipe the phone in the recovery menu to restart the setup wizard, just restart it normally.

Also worth noting if i let the bottom keys go unlit, the phone was in standby, so to begin the setup wizard i had to do a short press on the power button to light up the keys, and swipe down the unlit screen to unlock the phone. :)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
These steps may be easier for enabling debugging:

1. Wait a couple of minutes (so the display would switch off normally).

2. Press power once, and swipe down the screen.

3. Press menu. Right 4-5 times, down 2 times, press. (now in settings).

4. Swipe up on the screen to scroll down to the bottom.

5. Down one, press. Now (hopefully) in Applications.

6. Down 5-6 times, press.

7. Up a few times, press.

8. Press once more to confirm debugging.

If it doesn't work, press back 5-6 times and try again, though you can skips steps 1 and 2 if you do it straight away.

(I tried simulating this a couple of times by covering the screen so I couldn't see, and it worked each time)

edit: step 4-5 isn't completely reliable. It may be better to do step 4 and then try to press the part of the screen where the option is, near the top just below the + of the vol button.

Wow! Great job! :)

I couldn't get into USB debugging using the instructions in the first post, but this worked perfectly. (First attempt)
[Desire Android Development] SavageCore:
Tried multiple times, different steps. Going through it with lollylost on msn.

Anyone else wanna help out? He has to go.

Edit: Error 140 on RUU!
[Desire Android Development] :
You didn't copy update.zip or didn't flash it through recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Jarua:
After step 28, should I be able to see something on the screen? (It rebooted, but the screen is still black.) Unrevoked said the root was successful.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Did you forget to apply update.zip in recovery?
[Desire Android Development] SavageCore:
Think I did one step wrong so have re done but now everytime I hold back and press power it does a normal boot

Edit: Fixed, phone flashing!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Got there in the end then.
[Desire Android Development] SavageCore:
Yup thanks alot all. If only usb debugging could be done another way this would be extremely easy. Ah well.
[Desire Android Development] timmy1980:
All went smoothly... apart from the re-rooting process!!

All of the no display bits were fine, unrevoked worked fine and I now have a clean non vodafone 1.21.405.2 but when I run unrevoked a second time to root again I have the same issue that I started with which is that my phone refuses to go into recovery!!! ODD.

Thanks so much for all the help so far, I am tempted to just apply the 2.2 update that I am prompted with now as I have no root anyway and at least then I will have 2.2 with no root!!!
[Desire Android Development] Jarua:
Does this change how a custom ROM is installed? I'm following the tutorial here, but won't using the update.zip in that link break the screen again?

Ignore that. Install the ROM through custom recovery (be sure to do a nandroid backup first).

Man I was up late doing all of this last night! Seems really weird but, 99% of the time I can't get into recovery. I have hboot 0.83 with slcd screen but was pointed to this thread as it would work for my setup too. All went fine including rooting with unrevoked and I now have rooted froyo installed and running well... BUT... I have since not been able to boot to recovery and I seem very low on internal space despite not too many apps installed (less than on my old magic!). I seem to have some issue with recovery and if I run unrevoked again it gets all the way to and passed flashing recovery, phone reboots and it sits on "wait for 5 seconds because windows sucks" and the phone on the White htc screen until I pull the battery and boot normally.

I have ha this issue right from the beginning when I first tried to root with unrevoked and the custom slcd recovery.
[Desire Android Development] :
I have heard of this issue before. I think I know what the problem is. You can't run unrevoked on Froyo.
[Desire Android Development] timmy1980:
Oh ok, I did have this issue before I managed to flash froyo though.

Does anyone know what the data partition size should be as I am nearly out of space and have only used about 130mb..
[Desire Android Development] :
About 140mb is max on data.

PS. Before installing custom recovery, try installing this first: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
[Desire Android Development] timmy1980:
I will give it a go tomorrow. Thanks again for all your help!

Is that the ruu from the first post? If so I did successfully install it as part of the process in the first post. May try the whole thing again... not sure I'll be so lucky with the "no display" bits s second time round though!

Thanks.

Got my new HTC Desire on Tuesday and am about to try this method tonight. To enable USB debugging without a screen do I use a button to go right, or whereabouts on the touchscreen do I press? I want to make sure I do this right, so apologies for the dumb question. :confused:

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] timmy1980:
Ok, I just tried this and no joy. It did work the other night as part of the process in the first post but just now it rebooted my phone to a BLACK htc screen and eventually the RUU timed out as it could not see my phone. I assume because it won't go into the bootloader/recovery.

Thinking maybe I should exchange my phone! although now it doesn't have a vodafone splash screen!!!
[Desire Android Development] timmy1980:
Soooo..

I decided to go through the whole process again and i got stuck while running unrevoked to flash clockwork recovery. So I thought i'd try running the official 2.2 update ruu and it worked.

I am now on official 2.2 with hboot 0.92 and although I have lost root I can now get into recoverywhich I have been pretty much unable to do since day one!!!!!

I think that'll do for me for now!!

Thanks everyone for the help you've given.

Do i need to create a gold card if i have an unbranded desire?
[Desire Android Development] LordWhiteRaven:
Hi Guys,

First of all, I want to say thank you for this guide. I have my new Desire now since two days and now I'm trying to root it like you described here.

In my oppinion it went quite well until step 16:

16. Download Android-SDK and connect phone using ADB

17. Extract the folder and place it on the root of your C drive

18. Run Command Prompt (cmd.exe) and type in the following commands (line by line!)

I've downloaded Android-SDK and a new Java Version. All files from the SDK have been moved to my C:/ drive and I'm trying to connect to my device via "ADB".

But here I receive the following:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

error: device not found

It seems that it cannot find my device. When I plugin the USB cable then my Windows gives that standard sound but nothing happens then.

I'm not sure where now the problem is. If maybe the steps before didn't went OK or my Android SDK has a problem?! My OS is Windows 7 64 Bit.

At the moment I really don't know what I can do - my phone is in a useless state..

Many thanks in advance if somebody can give me a tip!

cheers
