how does voice work? does it use data?
[G1 Apps and Games] mikepav:
i used it all the time on my G1 when i had it. but it sends from your google voice number, not your t-mobile, so make sure that people have that number or they will be getting your texts from a number they may not recognize.

Is there a proximity sensor patch for the HTC Desire?

Sometime i have to end phonecalls by pulling the battery or plugin the headset to get the screen back.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Your device could be faulty as I have never had this problem.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
same here, the minute i pull the phone away from my ear the screen turns back on, it may be a faulty proximity sensor
[Desire General] premislausg:
Do you have ROM from Desire HD?
[Desire General] Dussaye:
Proximity Sensor Problem

Hi

I am also experiencing this problem on my HTC Desire (2.1 Eclair) however I dont have to restart my phone or anything. It just doesnt show the screen after I pull the phone away from my face sometimes.

I have a Body Glove with Screen protector but I doubt its the screen protector that could be causing this - or could it? (its clear in colour anyway).

:confused:
[Desire General] el93mon:
No. It has a regular Desire generic rom.
[Desire General] bigstoo:
The screen protector is probably exactly what's causing it.

Official HTC screen protectors have a cut-out for the proximity sensor, even though the protector is clear.

How do i change The Market,messages Browser Etc icons to ones i wanna use??
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pwachleman:
There is an app from the market called Desktop Visualizer that works very well. Might give that a try.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
This.

Another option is to edit the icon file in the apk of the app itself... if you're up to it.

-mb
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rogerbean101:
And how would i go about doing that/?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rideascooter:
ish is bananas!

If you do that, you'll have to sign the apk again.

if not, FC-town!

Learned that the hard way.

---Just open the apk with winrar or 7zip and change the icon in the Res/drawable folder.

just find out which one is the icon.

they are different sometimes.
[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
The antireflective layer from my camera lens went off and I've made things worse trying to polish it.

Now my camera (beautiful in its early days I must say) is useless.

Any idea how to replace that? I would prefer replacing the whole phone housing but I've heard that's more then messy.

Thanks,

Marius
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
No need to replace anything!

The same issue happened to my X1 and X2.

In fact under the paint layer there is a very solid glass.

WHAT I did is to take a cloth, make it wet and scrub heavily for 20 minutes.

It should not be wet but just damp.

The cloth should be a little bit harsh, I mean not completely smooth.

I just hope you didn't use any sandpaper.....

Now my camera works perfect.

I just experimented and it works beautifuly.

Just patientlyv scrub :)
[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
Unfortunately I went way beyond repair, I used a rotary polishing instrument and Displex. :D

Yes that made it smooth but also wavy ;), so focusing is lost.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Oooops, shame. With these things never use such heavy machines.

Pitty you didn't ask before the action.

You'd have your X2 perfectly fine now.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
So I finally :eek: got my wipe to upgrade from her dumbphone to a smartphone (Droid Inc.) and I'm looking into what are the best ROMS available *if* she lets me hack her phone.

I'm new to this arena since I have a Droid X so I want to know from people's experiences what is the best ROM for the DInc? From doing a quick look through it seems like CyanogenMod 6, SkyRaider Sense or Redemptive rEVOlution might be possible candidates.

I know the CyanogenMod ROM is one of the big ones but I'd like to keep the Sense UI on her phone to make it as easy as possible to use for her (and I do like HTC's overlay.)

So any thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions? :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danomat1073:
Try out redemptive revolution 1.9. Good battery life and very stable.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StirCwazy:
Aye, agreed!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete_kowalski83:
*make sure you know what version of the dinc she has, amoled or slcd,some roms and recovery won't work without fixes* that said redemption rom is currently my fave, otherwise virtuous rom. theres also red raven and feather but wouldn't recommend those for your wife. I believe theres a rom that sum1 made with a pink theme somewheres also but don't quote me on that. if you do any of these look for the new leaked stock kernel, has a lot better battery life and charges in half the time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masully1984:
I love Cyanogen, if you're looking for Vanilla ROM this is a great choice. I'm using CM6.0.2 right now and I love it. CM6.1 RC1 should be dropping very soon, it's not 100% stable but Cyanogen himself it could be used as your daily driver

if she likes sense.. try one of the new sense roms from IncDoes, the Desire HD port or the Desire Z port
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian0488:
I'd stay away from the Desire HD and Z ports until the camera issues are resolved.

I'm using redemptive revolution 1.9 and loving it right now. It just got updated with new framework so its the latest and greatest in my book!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] le0.br4zuc4:
I love the Desire Z port from IncredibleDoes but some people need the camera or would like to have the cam, if that's the case try SkyRaider 3.3.2 its the best one out there for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finanandroid:
Uncommon Sense

I will stick with Uncommon Sense Rom, its the most Stable free bug HTC Incredible Rom, the feels is likely Sense OEM manufacturer, I did not find any lack at all with the exception of APk Drawer little lag scrolling up. as well is the best of the two world android/Sense blended.

All the rest of the HTC Incredible Rom have several problems that have to be address and for sure Updates will be available to Roms like Sky raider and Virtuous.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman24v:
Most ROMs are good, but also aren't 100% done. To be honest, if you wife uses her phone a lot and isn't a tinkerer just keep it the way it is lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
Once camera issues are resolved the desire ports will pretty much be in a league better than any of the custom roms based on earlier sense. I would also strongly recommend miui except that many of the really useful sense widgets have no equivalent ones in aosp roms. I would recommend aosp roms only for people who are ok with constantly tinkering with their phones, not for your wife who will probably want.something that just works.

Until then redemptive, virtuous, skyraider are good choices.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Contempt4You:
I have tried a bunch of Roms and all of them have their strong points. This is all a matter of personal preference.

That being said, I would recommend Virtuous with the custom kernel or new stock kernel and here are the reasons:

1. It is very stable and fast.

2. Good battery life.

3. Nothing is removed or modded that cannot be readded or turned back on using the tools the developer provided (Virtuous Buddy).

4. Great dev support.

This is not the only Rom I use, but it is definitely the only Rom I would put on my wifes phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
I would say virtuous or the newest leaked deoxed stock ROM... both using the newest stock kernel.

Only roms I would consider for the girlfriend....

Personally I would just do a few mods to the newest stock ROM minus the bloat.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I switch between Redemption and Redemptive Revolution.

I like Redemption with Kings BFS #5 kernel the best, amazing battery life! It just "feels" good to me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Wow nice! Thanks for all the recommendations! I don't think I've heard of Virtuous so I'll check that one out.

Also to commenton the tinkering part, she definitely isn't into tinkering...in fact she complains when I tinker with my phone for too long LOL

Going ASOP isn't really an option since the base Android UI is lacking without some extra apps so the Sense UI is perfect for her. I do plan on (obviously) rooting the phone and setting up SetCPU but any additional improvements custom ROMS make are always nice to have.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Thanks for that tip about the screen...I didn't think the screen type would make a difference :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardax:
There aren't enough pluses for this. For your non-tinkering wife's phone, keeping it as close to stock but removing some of the cruft and bloat is imperative. The last thing you need is her pissed off at you because you "broke her phone."

Unless you're into that sort of thing. :)

Otherwise Virtuous is exactly what she needs.

I wouldn't get too crazy with SetCPU -- a screen off profile that underclocks is about as far as I'd go.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
I use it myself actually on my DX and also have profiles set to underclock the CPU when it gets a bit toasty (such as from using GPS) as well as underclock it when the battery hits 30% & 15%...which has come in quite handy in the past :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
forget setcpu for her.

use the latest htc leaked stock kernel with no setcpu.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Why may I ask? Just curious.

I've been pretty impressed with the 12-24 hour battery life I get on my DX now plus she like to chat on the phone when she takes the train to & from work so anything that can get her crazy good battery life is a plus in my book.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
From my experience and even in the stock kernel thread its so far the BEST kernel for battery life. Try it out. You won't be disappointed.

Your quadrant score will only be around 1100 but she won't notice a difference. Take off all the bloat and it will be extremely snappy.

Sent from my ADR6300
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Hmm ok, I'll give that a shot then and see how her phone runs.

Pity won't ever get to mess with different kernels on my phone right now...if ever :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
Just trade phones every now and then. I've been debating what to get my gf for Christmas and it might be a phone. HTC lexicon or DInc HD?

With the advantage of using titanium back up and backing up ROMs in ROM manager its as easy as ever to switch each other phones every now and then....

Use strictly Google voice and you don't even have to switch numbers through Verizon!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
lol naw it's not that serious. I've managed to put Rubix Focused 1.0 on my DX which runs fantastic with no MotoBlue on it :D & I've tweaked it like crazy. If I hand her my phone she won't know how to use it. Unless something mindblowing & truely amazing comes along I'll stick with my DX.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epicardium:
For Sense, go with Skyraider. Everything works and there are no 3G issues like some people have with the EVO ROMs.

BUT, I highly recommend MIUI with LauncherPro Plus as the launcher. MIUI has several features built into it that IMO are more user-friendly that Sense. There are fewer clicks to complete certain actions. The wallpapers are more customizable, and the ROM is super-snappy. I would also recommend that you consider purchasing Vignette to use as the camera app, but it's not absolutely necessary.

Once her phone is rooted, and if you have an hour or so to play, then you can easily install both a Sense ROM and MIUI to see which she prefers. Just don't go and change all the settings until you're sure. That's where the time investment is.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
I have seen the original MIUI video when it came out and it was pretty awesome but I was still under the impression that the ROM was still very early...or is that all fixed now?

If there are possible 3G issues with the EVO roms then I'll skip those since she doesn't have that much patience when it comes to technology ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epicardium:
Yes, there are issues with 3G on EVO ROMs. They can be quite unpleasant to fix. Not worth it.

MIUI is very well refined now. The only thing that doesn't work on it is the 8MP camera resolution, but you can get around that by using third-party apps (like Vignette). A new release (10.29) will probably come out tomorrow from n_i_x and crew. The early reports are that it's the most stable to date, and things have been refined even more. It has a lot of 'pretty' elements to it that women seem to like. The settings menu, for example, is way different than stock. The caller interface is much like the iPhone, and the contacts application is very neat as well. I do wish they would update the camera app, but I'm sure that will come in due time. It works great (aside from the 8MP limitation)....just not as refined as the Sense-based camera app. Oh, and battery life is pretty amazing on MIUI, especially with the Koush test2 kernel.

I don't like the launcher that comes with MIUI, but many people love it intensely. You may fall in love with it as well. If not, LaunchePro works amazingly well with MIUI.

Keep up updated on which ROM you choose, and how it goes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Ah cool, thanks for that info :) I'll have the phone for a few hours before we get her info ported over so I'll give it a lookover. I do love Launcher Pro Plus as well and I think she does too but I'll let her choose if she wants Sense or LPP.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimebagdan65:
I've tried redemption, virtuous, uncommon sense, cyanogen, jager rom, and pretty much any other ROM I could get my hands on for a few days each and I always end up back at Redemption. For a rock solid and snappy experience along with amazing battery life, there's no comparison IMHO
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Granted I know that everyones 3G coverage can be different but have you had any issues with 3G? Before your post it sends to be an almost universal thing that the EVO builds are iffy on that part.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eskimo_Joe:
+1 for MIUI

The newest release as of now (10.29.0) has a fully functional 8MP camera resolution
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danomat1073:
I have tried almost all the custom Rom and like the post before, I too always end up back at redemptive revolution. I have had no 3g issues, the Rom is sleek, stable, and has better battery life than any others....even stock. The only problems I have is spotty mms issues when sending out. That has nothing to do with the Rom. The mms issues are something to do with the dinc and iphones so I have gathered. As long as you follow the Rom instructions, in regards to installation and theming it will be the best experience you can get on the dinc.....in my opinion anyway.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzman54:
You should definitely watch this 4 minute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or-9T44Bt7M (includes awesome music)

I think this video shows off what this rom can do much better than the usual boring videos or screenshots. And that's almost 2 months old, not it's even better.

Also, you can use Launcher Pro with it if you don't want your homescreens to look so much like an iPhone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Ok...so to resurrect a somewhat dead thread, it looks like my wife has finally come around and is going to let me toy with her Droid Inc so I wanted to follow up and modify my original question...which is...

What is the best *SENSE UI* based custom ROM? She seems to really like the Sense UI so I'll keep that as a requirement so she doesn't need to relearn her phone's features.

Also, what about custom kernels? I want to do everything I possibly can to give her better battery life.

...plus she is experiencing the "Low on Space" bug that some DI users experience & it seems like the only real solution is a factory reset which is nice since it helped me convince her :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris7os:
best sense ui rom

I ran virtuous for a while because it was very close to stock but with some great upgrades, absolute stability, great battery life, and ease of use. Another sign of a great rom, check out when the last update to the rom was... it doesn't get updated very often because it doesn't

need

to be updated. But...

I found my love with Myn's Warm Two Point Two rom. It is an EVO based rom, but I've never once had an issue with 3g, so I can't remark on those who say "it's a given that evo based roms have 3g issues", however, I'm willing to bet those naysayers are in the minority.

It really depends on what you want out of your phone. You say this is for your wife and she doesn't mess with it so much or doesn't care, so I recommend loading a rom that is as close to the stock rom as is possible.

IMHO, the best sense roms (stability, dev support, ease of use) for the incredible are: (in no particular order)

Skyraider

Virtuous

Redemptive Rom

To answer your kernel question: it absolutely depends on the rom you are using.

Read through the forum for the rom you are using and you should figure out what the best kernels to use are.

To answer your "low on space" error message, the reason running a factory reset works to get rid of the error message is that it clears all the application data and cache data. What you need to do is check out what apps are using up so much cache data and figure out how to either clear it or uninstall the app.

Try going to menu/settings/applications/manage applications/ select all, then hit menu and order by size.

clear the data and/or cache of the largest data use programs

Good luck brother
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Thanks for the response chris7os, that's the kind of response I was hoping to hear :D

I'll definitely give those 3 ROMS another lookover again but I have heard a lot of praise for Virtuous, so it may win out. The kernel stuff I'll really need to look over and educate myself on the difference options since I know nothing about custom kernels (...stupid Motorola :mad: )

As for the "Low on Space" message, I believe I narrowed it down to the HTC Mail app which she uses for her Exchange-based work email. I noticed that it was 45MB yesterday night so I cleared it & had her get the account re-setup again and so far no problems (yet.)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VZYGuy:
Ditto - keep your wife happy
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Ditto...I agree :D

I showed my wife a video of Myn's Warm Two Point Two ROM and while (I think) it looks pretty slick I don't think she was totally sold on it b/c of the changes to the Sense widgets...plus after reading that the Virtuous custom kernel has some modifications that make it player nicer with SetCPU that pretty much made up my mind.

Hi,

On the zune software on the PC is autodownloads an artists picture for the background for all of your music, whether it was bought on zune or not.

On the phone it only seems to do this for stuff bought or streamed on zune, is there anyway to change this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Point:
My phone shows images for some things not downloaded from the Marketplace. It may be it cannot find an image for the non-Zune music you are trying, or that the linking metadata is broken in some way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jedix:
if you've got the meta data on ok and played it through zune it should have updated the track etc, you will see some hidden JPG files in you MP3 folder where the songs are you have played. If there isn't any there, on the zune playlist you'll see an circled I next to the love heart, click that and it should find the song and update also. If it still doesnt update then its a meta/info problem your having.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
I've updated the metadata of most files on the phone right now with the Zune software, and I've still the black background in Zune on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jedix:
check settings/metadata and ratings on the pc zune and make sure the automatic retreival options is on (2nd tick box and add missing info). If your playing a tune from your playlist you can right click it, view in collection then right click the grayed zune albumn icon, click find albumn info and pick its picture etc, next, ok. Back in the playlist you'll have a full pic now. Sync it back to your phone or drag a test tune onto the phone icon and you should have it sorted now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] loomx:
I will try the heart thing... All of these track have no problem getting the pictures automatically on the pc. Its just the phone it doesn't do it on
[Windows Phone 7 General] jtjagan:
I have the album art appearing but the artist background picture is not showing. The Zune player on the phone shows a black background behind the small album art image. The hub background is also black and the live tile on the homescreen shows the default Zune icon. All the metadata is available.

What do I need to do to get the artist image to appear in the background?
[Windows Phone 7 General] xtrememanix:
apparently i also face the same problem .

i'm from singapore, where zune pass is not supported.

i am able to see the album art while playing a song on my optimus but the general background of the zune hub is black .

and i dun get the option to find out more about the artist and watsoever.

i believe its due the to fact that i dun have a zune pass .
