Alright, I got it working, but there's one problem. It can't be uninstalled because it's currently a device admin. Same goes for that Lock Screen Widget I installed earlier. :eek:

Looking into a way to be able to uninstall, if one even exists....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
You disabled: device administrator ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dailydR1ver:
Try using "root explorer" to find the files and just delete them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Hollow.Droid:
You need to go to Security & Location - Device Administrators and disable both there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
Good call. Thx. However, I also came up with a work-around for ppl who are just as lazy as myself. There are 2 icons in the launcher. The first will lock the screen (once you enable the app as a device admin). The second will disable the app as a device admin, allowing you to uninstall at your will.

I really intended for this app to be for personal use, but if anyone wants it I'll put it up here for you to download. If you'd rather I remove the second launcher icon and just let you to disable it through Security settings, I will also do this (as really, I don't plan on uninstalling any time soon so this is fine for myself).

Thanks to everyone who helped out!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Hollow.Droid:
Yeah I'd appreciate the single launcher version please if possible :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
OK - I'll update and upload when I get into work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
Application is in the OP. Have at it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g4rb4g3:
Great, works perfect on MIUI 0.9.30
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Hollow.Droid:
Does the job perfectly! I especially like how it runs as an app so I can change the icon :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
You're a lifesaver, or should I say power button saver ;)

Thanks so much.

I tried to develop something similar before but got stuck. Saved me some time!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] firerock:
Thanks for creating such useful app for my N1. My power bt is fine, but I would like to preserve it to powering up/down the phone.

BTW, I also downloaded Lock Screen Widget to test it out. Is it possible that you can make your app to shut off the screen smoother, like LSW? I like it you set it up as an app, which is super useful for me set up as a gesture swipe on my LauncherPro dock icons.

Thanks again and keep up your good work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g4rb4g3:
Thanks again, your app is really great. But could you add a option to map it to the search button (long press) please?

Thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
Yeah, the "screen flicker" is a little annoying, but not sure how to get rid of it right at this moment - probably why the creator of Lock Screen Widget made it a widget instead of an app. I'll play around with it in my spare time and see if I can figure anything out. If anyone has some suggestions that'd be great too. Right now I'm thinking the solution might be to make the app launch in a smaller window and then reduce the size of that window to a minimum...?

One of the other advantages of having it as an app that I figured out this weekend is that if it was one of the last 8 apps you used, you can lock the screen by holding the home key and selecting the LockMyDroid app. That way you don't have to go back to your home screen to lock it. Very handy :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
I will have to do some research on how to map applications to hardware buttons, but if I figure it out I'll create a version that maps it to the long-press action of the search button for ya.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
Alright, that was quick - figured out how to reduce the "screen flicker" - just set the application and activity to transparent background. I've updated the app in the OP, so re-download and install if you want the new version :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g4rb4g3:
Thank you, if I could i would help you. Maybe this helps a little:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_SEARCH_LONG_PRESS

EDIT: I can help you!!! Add this to AndroidManifest.xml and it will work:

<activity android:theme="@style/Theme.Transparent" android:name=".DroidLock">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH_LONG_PRESS" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Thanks to the author of QuickDesk, I looked inside his AndroidManifest.xml and found it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
Word. Added it to the manifest.xml. Added the new version to the OP. Thx :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] firerock:
teleknEsis, you have completed my lockscreen need!!!

Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

Keep us updated when you are ready to become a full time android dev. Maybe start your 1st project on GoogleTV? I will be getting Logitech GTV when it comes out and I'm than happy to test your app!

BTW, have you tried to contact Cyanogen and ask him to include your app into CM6? This would be super useful for other N1 users out there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Thank a lot for this great app.

I added the following icon to your apps. Hope you don't mind and all the credit to you of course.

Posted for those interested.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
Glad I could help :D - I needed this app really bad, so I knew there were others who could benefit from it as well.

I absolutely love developing for Android, and I will definitely be pushing very hard to continue making my transition to doing it full-time. As soon as I have an idea for a GoogleTV app you better believe I will be all over it. I'm also highly interested in developing for tablets.

I'll send Cyanogen a note on twitter to see if he's interested in including my app in CM6.

Thanks again for the encouragement, the Android dev community is the best!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
Cool, don't mind at all. I only included the other icon per the request of someone else :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] belair56:
Thanks for sharing, nice work.

Good luck in further android development.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ultima888:
Thank you so much!! This is one great work by the developer and the community! Thanks!

Option for "Device Administrators" not available

I am using the HTC Desire HD and I don't have 'Security & Location' under settings. I have them under separate items. Nonetheless, upon checking both, I can't seem to find "Device Administrators" feature. Where else can this appear under? BTW, I have not installed the app yet and I was making sure all the menu items are there in case I want to uninstall.

Appreciate any advice.... thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonlefever:
Ok, so I've had this rom running since it first came out. There's no problems with it, but these annoying market notifications won't go away. I've ignored it for a long time, about a couple months, haha. Is there a way of stopping them from popping up? Like, the market cache or something? The problem started when apps downloaded from the market didn't install. They pop up when I download from the market. And sometimes, at random.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonlefever:
And yes, it is raining that bad in Pennsylvania right now, haha.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonlefever:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
You could try going into settings and clearing market data and c if it works also I use a app called cache cleaner for root users u can get it from the market to clean the cache of a lot of apps on ur rom it has a lot of handy features IMO good luck

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonlefever:
I tried that, it didn't work. :'(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balishared:
same with stock rom

have the same problem with the stock rom. even if the app is deleted and the cache also, the old market notifications still show up when i download new apps from the market

only things i did to my phone are: root access and att bloatware uninstall

[Imagio General] jerrya:
Guys, my Imagio crapped out yesterday, and I am getting a new one today. BUT before I do, I am trying to decide to flash again, or just install cookies.

The question I have is this, Stock Verizon HTC Imagio ROM running sense 2.5, what version is it?

Want to know if I can install cookies without flashing.

Thanks for responding to a somewhat noobish question.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rampantphoto:
ok, first off im not a developer. Most i can do is some front end web development. im a designer, so most of the time i just expect things to work. that being said, i also understand and appreciate all the hard work that you developers do, this is in no way me complaining about developers. I basically just want to understand a bit more. Why are we able to make Playstation emulators? which to me seems like it would be 10x more complicated than, say... an ipod classic emulator which is no where to be found. to me it seems like you'd be able to create some sort of app that was a framework where the ipod classic OS could run on. now, like i said, i am no developer, and i realize there probably is a completely legitimate reason, i just want to understand that reason. if there isn't, and its just a matter of someone taking the time to do it, this is my plea for that to happen.

now, you may ask "why do you want that? there are perfectly good mp3 player apps on the market if you're not pleased with the stock"

my response is: yes, i know, and if all i wanted was an mp3 player then there really wouldn't be any need for an ipod classic emulator. unfortunately the ipod has a lot more features than just an simple mp3 player. the organization system being a major point, as well as the fact that it is by far the BEST way to listen to audiobooks. the ability to skip through chapters and have chapter titles and remembered playback seem like simple things to me... but i do realize they are the result of lots of hard work. unfortunately no current player on the market can do all of this in one... let alone just the audiobook functions.

so this is why i want an ipod classic emulator, and want to know why there isn't one yet.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
To put it onto layman's terms

Its apples copyrighted code so it would be illegal

So even if we wanted to, apple would Sue us and remove it from xda

The PlayStation systems run on a form of Linux, and so do our devices so that also plays a role since it makes porting that much easyer
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rampantphoto:
aah, so Sony doesn't care about being emulated where as apple (due to the fact that it is a product that directly relates) does. that makes sense. but then if its just legal issues... wouldn't it still be around somewhere? legal stuff hasn't stopped people in the past (ie: beautiful widgets) and there are a ton of iphone skins you'd think would be copyrighted.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Grikshanks:
Emulators work because they don't distribute the copyrighted proprietary content with the emulator. That's why you have to go find a bios file on your own.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
N

For one reason apple will come down on you like none other and the other reason is apple has a unique code, unlike Linux it isn't open sourced so if it was to be done the software would hafya be reversed engineered for our devices

To be honest and no offense to you at all

its just too much trouble for the software
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rampantphoto:
aah, i see. so because of the way apple is set up, everything is copyright so you couldn't even make a frame to hold an OS w/out breaking some copyright. ok, well thanks for the info!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd_sjo:
Hi all :)

My non-rooted N1 is now suffering from poor battery life (hopefully will get to time it today but basically every morning it's dead) since upgrading to 2.2.1 OTA via O2 (UK).

Has anyone else seen this behaviour, or perhaps have a suggestion to diagnose/resolve? (not just standard battery optimisation stuff please).

Thanks :cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Mine seems about the same really.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheoSqua:
Could be one of the apps you commonly use is having some issues with the new update and destroying your battery life.

You could try uninstalling a bunch of commonly run apps and see if that helps battery life.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
Mine seems the same. Maybe your battery is old?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd_sjo:
Just to be clear, battery was fine just before the update and now is awful. I've just taken it off charge to see how quickly it dies and i'll keep an eye on what's using the battery (if the about phone > battery stuff is accurate). Thanks :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd_sjo:
Okay so.. can't seem to do a screen shot (not rooted?) but here's what i've found so far..

From fully charged.. to 10% battery..

Does this look unusual to anyone? I'm sure in the past when i've checked this report the display was always the highest. I'm wondering if 2.2.1 update or an app is stopping the phone from sleeping or something?

Any advice welcome

Thanks :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tankmorph:
My favorite part is that the app Battery Time is responsible for 6% of your battery usage. Irony?

Also, your weather app is setup to sync too often if it's using 7%, IMHO.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You can check if any apps are keeping the phone up, get into the testing app (dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to Battery history.

In there, change other usage to Partial wage usage.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd_sjo:
Thanks Rusty. Had a look under partial wake usage and the only thing showing up anything really is 'android system', with about 20% on the bar graph.
[Nexus One General] junooni.1980:
Ok fellas! Im new to this world of android just bought a newsu one last night Its used and rooted. I installed bunch of apps and after a bit it gave me an alert of low space/memory. Never had this with my x10 . so i was wondering may be its cus o the root if yes? Do u recmnd unrooting to clear space? And in case of unrooting any help /guide would be much appreciated.

Also i saw the update alert ast night fo 2.2.1 but when i tried to update it it wa stuck on a black screen with a android(green guy) and a exclamation mark. so i r/s the phone again and ignore the update anyhelp. please...

Thanks a bunch.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
The ROM would effect the lack of space, but having root shouldn't. It more likely the apps though.

Just try moving some apps to your SD (menu> settings> applications> manage applications... sort by size [menu key], then select an app. In each app there's an option to move to SD. Some will move, some won't)

There's plenty of discussions on the update, but it's probably failing because you're not stock...
[Nexus One General] junooni.1980:
So what should i do to get the update ..get the phone unroot??
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
First, decide if you want the update, or if you want a custom ROM...

I've not tried the update, so I can't make any recommendations.
[Nexus One General] junooni.1980:
What do u think ..try n see how the update is and if it aint worth it then my be puton the htc sence rom..?? any suggs..
[Nexus One General] itrustme:
try miui rom first
[Nexus One General] junooni.1980:
is that a htc sence rom??
[Nexus One General] junooni.1980:
Hey guys.. i found the method to load custom sence rom but it said that its a alpha version .. i was wondwering i fther eis any stable version out there.. anyone...plss.
[Nexus One General] itrustme:
no miui is a whole new UI revision. its a totally new rom. think ios fused with android. its really great to me at least
[Nexus One General] junooni.1980:
Ok so i got loaded 2 different htc sense roms last night both from here:

http://theunlockr.com/downloads/android-downloads/android-roms/nexus-one-roms/

Both of them were awesome, right now I have the mdaco one, but the there are few problems.

*. Showed still on 2.1 in setting.

*. GPS isn't locking.

*. Bluetooth isnt working.

*. When Im trying to lock the phone by pressing the power button it locks but wont go to sleep(back light is still on).

*. Power button won't work if i try to shutdown/put phone on vibrate/airplane mode/.

so far these are the problems im facing.

Does anyone nows a better stable Sense ROM?? Please advise.. Thanks.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Why not just use stable and fully functional Evil D's?
[Nexus One General] junooni.1980:
have ya tried it, is it fully stable?? everything working??

If yes please lemme know If I canjust download it on my sd, wipe/factory setting and install it from sd? Please Thanks.

Does anyone know if Nintendo or anyone plans on releasing a version of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Android?
[Android Apps and Games] HellSassa69:
Your chances are equal to zero!

Afaik the guy who is behind psx4droid ist working on a N64 Emulator.

You wont achive full speed with the early releases I think but its great news anyways that a N64 Emu is in the works!
[Android Apps and Games] vamp6x6x6x:
Well, I suppose an emulator is better then nothing but to be honest I was hoping for a zelda oot revamped for android...and I guess the other OS that shall not be named.
[HD2 General] ekerbuddyeker:
this is a new problem for me. I have been using the most recent Dutty ROM together with Mdeejay Android ROM without any problems. All of a sudden, when I try to unlock the screen after STANDBY, it just wont register my touch, as if I am not touching it. It boots up fine, and on the first unlock works fine, but when the screen lock goes on again (after every standby) it just wont unlock. So I am stuck (I use Exchange and our policy forces the lock after standby, so I have to use it - and its worked fine for ages).

If I boot into Android, it works fine, the unlock works fine, yet strangely when I try to shut the power down, THAT screen also doesnt register me touching it.

I have hard reset but even before I load an app or do anything, the problem exists.

I also reflashed a DUTTY ROM. Same problem.

I tried CHT lockscreen - same issue. After Standby, screen doesnt register my touch.

Anyone have any ideas?
[HD2 General] pistol44:
Same problem for me.. Restoring a backup image after being forced to hard reset this morning and now suddenly my HD2 won't wake up after sleeping. Pressing my end key only lights up my buttons but I have to pull the battery to reset. I'm thinking it's related to me having CHT installed, yours however might be a different problem.
[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:
I had something similar. It was right after I had installed CHT 2.0 and was looking to make the top and bottom bars transparent. I found a cab that claimed it would do this and installed it. Sorry, I don't recall what cab it was and I have deleted it. When I rebooted Sense would hang and if it got into a lock it would only move the slider a little where it would stop. Luckily, I had done a backup that morning right after I installed CHT 2.0 with Sprite so I restored and all was well.

I don't know if this is of help but I figured I'd throw it out there.
[HD2 General] ekerbuddyeker:
it wakes up, but wont register when I try to swype the unlock screen.
[HD2 General] pistol44:
Your lucky you get that far lol.. I don't get any waking up. Plus I now uninstalled S2U2 and still no change. Disabled all locks of any kind and still frozen with sleep of death with in 1 min of hitting power to sleep it. I REALLY don't want to to a hard reset and install everything from scatch.. UGH.
[HD2 General] ekerbuddyeker:
weird update...

It has something to do with which key i witch the device on with. If I use the phone key, I can swype the unlock. If I use the power key, it doesnt register.

Another related issue: when i hold the power key to switch off, it wont register me touching power off or reboot etc. so I have to take the battery out to switch off. Its the same in Android.

Anyone know? Hardware issue?
[HD2 General] kylebop:
bump this is horrid
[HD2 General] tk92590:
same

im having the exact same issue. I have flashed 3 different roms and flashed to the newest radio (2.15).

I started out using energy rom, didnt help. Flashed a newer energy rom, didnt help. Now im using the dusk rom, same issue.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
[HD2 General] tkato:
It's a quite common digitizer problem lately... it seems the HD2's digitizer is failing on some units, possibly because of usage with android? my father's device acted the same way, only it sometimes did register touch and other times, not.

My device doesn't have these problems, yet. But seeing that a lot of people here are experiencing these issues, and with the notion that I use android pretty much all the time since I first booted my device, i'm pretty sure i'll experience it soon as well..

Make no confusion thou, the assumption that android effects the digitizer are purely my own thoughts on this matter, no such thing has been proven and the conclusion that android is effecting our HD2s is based purely on the statistics of touch screen failures in the last few months since android has been made publicly available in a working form.

EDIT:

Those seeking A solution, as far as I know, the only solution is sending your unit to HTC for repairs, you'll get it back with a note that says that they replaced your digitizer or your screen, at least these are the reports I heard from the other folks whom followed this procedure.

Good luck.
[HD2 General] LstCowboy:
HTC HD2 Screen Lock

I have only used Android a few times on this 'phone and it has a standard HTC/O2 ROM installed so it must just be a problem with the top part of the digitiser. With android running the unlock is at the bottom and is unaffected.

Is there any way of testing the digitiser before deciding whether to get a repair sorted,

Ta,

A friend was complaining to me about something like this since last week. I could not figure it out so I went ahead and installed Android cm7 and still have the same issue.

Until I read this post after searching through the forums all over :) Screen now unlocks perfectly fine but only using the green Phone icon. If I try to wake the screen with the red Power button, the screen is unresponsive.

Thanks for the info.
[HD2 General] jimprime:
Already happened tome its a hardware issue can't be fixed so if you still have warranty on ur phone send it to htc for repairs b because it tends to get worse n worse soon other keys will start to give in I think that's one reason why most android phone been switching to capacitive buttons because hardware causes this sorta issues and send it in for repairs to get it fixed
