I think you can use skyfire, but you have to use some special version. Not sure, I just use the stock Android browser...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] budbrown:
very simple - edit your startup.txt

change the part that says

lcd.density=240

to

lcd.density=210

boot android

rerun skyfire beta and go through all the steps

afterward you can change it back

please note, you have to go to advanced settings in the startup util and check manual startup.txt or else it will overwrite your changes

@budbrown

Worked great. Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flapjack:
So I've totally forgone the stock mail app in lieu of Touchdown, which is (IMHO) 1000x better. Since wiping the phone and flashing a Bionix ROM, however, I have no tags (home, cell, work) on contacts in the dialer. Touchdown says it's a limitation of the dialer and that most contacts pushed from Touchdown to the phone's contacts will show these fields. If I open the contacts from Touchdown, the fields are clearly there. When I try calling someone from the dialer, I'm present with the typical three numbers, but none are marked. Since I don't have all my contacts numbers memorized (which is why I use contacts anyways), I have to exit the dialer and call from within Touchdown.

Is this really a limitation of the dialer, or just an excuse Touchdown is using?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flapjack:
I was really hoping someone could help me with this one. I still have the issue, even after talking with Nitro about it. They say it's a limitation of the dialer.

Just for giggles, I wiped the phone and setup the stock Android mail client to connect to Exchange. Same thing. The contacts did not have number types specified. Just a pile of numbers.

Most everyone I know has at least two, usually 3 numbers. I cannot remember them all. This was not always an issue, so I'm not sure why it is now.

I do know it did work fine before JI6.... both with the stock mail app and with Touchdown. After JI6, no number "types".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimtastic:
I just just back to stock, from what had been a factory reset.

Anyway, odin one click wont work. It freezes at filesrf or modem.bin.. i couldnt boot even into recovery..

Hi guys

Now I have my new DHD for 3rd days

I like the sense from HTC

Put it missed a lot of features like No of columns and rows and resize the widgets

But if are using another launcher you will loss a lot of good widgets from HTC sense

So what do you like

HTC sense or another launcher and why ?
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
personally stock is the best

but sense is the best one from a manufacturer, however it would be nice to use sense widgets with stock launcher cause htc does have good widgets for email and a few others.
[Desire HD General] lynxboy:
I'm using Launcher Pro in combination with Spare Parts. This way I get the nice widgets AND the eye candy animations I miss from stock android. Never really been a fan of Sense, however I did give it a chance to see if there were any improvements from my previous experiences. It must be said, it feels much more responsive with LP, especially after tweaking. I recommend it to anyone looking for a speed boost and also suggest purchasing the Plus version to support such great development.

Regards.
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
LauncherPro all the way. Looking forward to the rewrite too.

Put it this way, once the DHD had turned on, I immediately went to the market, downloaded LP and punched in my activation code. Everything else got done after that.
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
I like HTC Sense, but on my SGS I had Zeam which is very good plus beautiful widgets and that was a very nice combination. I've considered going the same way with the Desire HD but I'll stick with the stock launcher for now.
[Desire HD General] LtdEdFred:
Any recommendations on how to tweak it? Are you referring to performance tweak or design tweak? (Using Launcher Pro Plus)
[Desire HD General] matthiasdeblaiser:
I went over all of the settings in Launcher pro plus and tried out a little of everything untill I was pleased with it.

Now finally everything is going smooth, unlike the sense interface, which kinda made me feel like a dumbnut for selling my 3GS for the Desire HD. Now I can't be happier with it :) (ok, yes I can, if it would have a loudspeaker that you could actually hear, because now, when it's in my pocket, I never hear it unless it's absolutely quiet)

Check out my Launcher Pro Plus here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxp7ljpNukk

the movie starts with a question about Android market that just got solved, so never mind that, you can skip right to the part of Launcher Pro Plus
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
If only there was Cookie Home for HTC Sense in Android....

How difficult, comparing with the HTC from WM, can be coding it for android?
[Desire HD General] halokin:
Hi Matthias, I will have my DHD on Tuesday and it will be my first android phone... Just an information: if I install Launcher Pro Plus or any other launcher, could I come back to Sense without problems anytime?

Thx
[Desire HD General] bmw-boy:
Sure you can go back for any launcher
[Desire HD General] LtdEdFred:
Welcome aboard the Android-train :) Good choice.

Since you're new to this I'll give you a quick guide on how to restore default programs (this applies to any program).

Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Click the program and choose "Clear defaults". Easy, peasy lemon squeezy ;)
[Desire HD General] lynxboy:
There are numerous settings related to scrolling speed, cached pages, appdrawer settings etc. There is no definitive mix of settings it's purely down to the end user's preference. I suggest you download the free version and have a play/tweak and see what suits you best. A few adjustments are for performance and others are purely cosmetic.

The main benefits of LP are the ability to customise the dockbar to hold the shortcuts you actually want. You can manage your desktop much easier when everything is organised the way you like it. One thing I do enjoy is the ability to use the stock android transition animations HOWEVER, after hearing it can increase the rate at which the battery is drained, i'm considering turning them off anyway!

Regards.
[Desire HD General] halokin:
Thx for your tip! Very kind! :)
[Desire HD General] appelflap:
ADW Launcher, mainly becaused I have set the density to 171 - a density that Sense doesn't like at all.

If I could only use the HTC Sense Widgets!

(Anyone knows of a launcher which also runs the Sense widgets?)
[Desire HD General] lynxboy:
Launcher Pro Plus has very nice widgets, widgets which are almost identical to the ones on Sense. I was firmly in ADW camp at one point but as time has gone on I came round to the idea that LP has the better options overall. Not to say that ADW isn't a capable launcher, it's highly customisable and has unique options such as the swipe up dockbar but those nice widgets...... ;) LP all the way!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I doubt the animations impact battery life by much, but i could be wrong. But i would still keep them on because without them, opening and closing apps is just plain ugly!
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
I have downloaded Launcher Pro and Zeam today, but when I went to download Home Switcher it tells me it's not compatible with Froyo 2.2.

Does anyone know a similar app to Home Switcher that works for Froyo?
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
download EasyHome, i haven't tried it but it should work.
[Desire HD General] faby71:
wow.....widget clock is very well!!!share this widget?:D

thank
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Looked on the market and AppBrain, can't find it :confused:
[Desire HD General] kaosnews:
Yes Launcher Pro is excellent! Purchased it for my Android tablet - but it nows replaces HTC Sense. Love it :)
[Desire HD General] wonderwout:
I just installed 'Home manager' does the job

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Thanks, I tried to download it yesterday but for some reason it wouldn't work, downloaded Home Manager today and all is good :)
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Wrong!!!!!!

Allows me to change to different launchers but the second I hit the home button switches back to Sense. I have force closed sense but the home button just opens the application again, I must be doing something wrong :confused:
[Desire HD General] wonderwout:
You have to set 1 default launcher. When in another launcher the home button will switch to default launcher. This is a little confusing but I can live with it

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] boarne71:
There is no switcher that will work on froyo 2.2, not yet anyways. I have tried them all and nobody works as a 100% home switcher should work, as they worked when i tried them in 2.1 while back.

So im sitting here without a switcher for my new DHD, but that doesnt matter cause i only use my Launcher Pro Plus anyways.
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Yeh I hope they can get Home Switcher running on Froyo soon...
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
For those needing a Home switcher, see my attachment :)

It works flawless on the Android emulator 2.2, so it will probably work in the DHD
[Desire HD General] boarne71:
Tried that program yesterday and im sorry but it does not work 100% as a homeswitcher should work.

Edit: I just set my Lpro plus as defult as I only use that,so no big prob for me anyways. Just settings and remove def if I want to change.
[Desire HD General] lynxboy:
I don't understand the need for Homeswitcher? Can someone fill me in on what it is actually used for? If I ever wanted to change my Launcher I just installed a new one and set it to default. I'm guessing you are switching between different launchers here? If so I don't understand the appeal.
[Desire HD General] boarne71:
I like the new sence on my phone,but it was missing a few things im using so I installed Lpro plus,cant see any reason to have more then max one extra launcher beside the original one.
[Desire General] culbreeze:
Hi

I always love the design of HTC phones. The day that HTC Desire was out I loved straight then and there, so I read about its reviews and unboxings and watched it on youtube. Hoping that I can someday own one, but of course money is the issue here because the Desire is one of the elite phones out there, not every body can afford it, including me :(

But now I found a trust worthy web site of used phones, and found a Desire which I can afford :)

But I need help on testing the device. What to look for and how to know if the device is running ok? How do you test a 2nd hand phone? BTW this particular device is running under Android 2.2 FROYO. Does the desire runs ok with this upgrade with no issues what so ever? How do you test if the device is running ok in 2.2?

Please anybody I really like to own one but I can't afford a new one so I'm sticking with the 2nd hand type. Hope someone can give me a good advice on how to get a good buy from a 2nd hand seller.

THANKS so much in advance :D
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
What I normally do is ask the seller to charge the phone so I can test it.

what I usually check:

1. camera

2. does phone freeze

*important* does the phone make calls? is it blacklisted??

3. headphones

4. speakers

5. wi-fi (if possible)
[Desire General] Cactus42:
Also, Google Maps for 15/20 minutes - if it reboots walk away.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Is it an online only store? Or are there shops where you can try out the device? I bought one 2nd hand from CeX but I tried it first in-store to check everything was ok.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac_novice:
Know this is dev section, but I am not sure folks in general would know. When long pressing power button phone gets the "shake" and soft reboots. Something just starting happening. Cleared caches, even did reset. Running JPM/JI6 with some mods of my own, nothing out of this world though.

Ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCutrer1:
Well it seems that the probable thing is those mods of your own if they were at the system level
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiXXeD:
If you installed any framework mods on top of cognition that would do it. Has to be made specifically to work with cognition.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac_novice:
f******g stock lock screen (android.policy.jar)

Thought I had a right version, but I guess I didn't. Got the right one and all is dandy.
[Android Themes] joe772:
Not sure if this is the right area, but what .png from framework-res.apk controls the background of a selected app? Or any selection in general. I see lots of them, but I really dont feel like editing 9 .9.pngs to find out. =/
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
The selected background for apps in the drawer is kept in the launcher. In ADW it is ADWLauncher.apk/res/drawable-*/pressed_application_background.9.png (and focused).
[Android Themes] joe772:
What about on stock?
[Android Themes] L0cke:
Look in Launcher.apk or Launcher2.apk
[Android Themes] joe772:
There is only focused. There is no pressed in the launcher2.apk hmm. ideas?
[Android Themes] L0cke:
The pressed should be in 'res\drawable\' and the focussed should be in 'res\drawable-hdpi\' - or the like, if 'mdpi'

What ROM is this you are using?
[Android Themes] joe772:
Fission. Droid x
[Android Themes] L0cke:
Have you looked in 'res\drawable\' ?

I have looked in the ROM and it's there.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] tp2me:
Hi I sold an unlocked xpress rom tp2 to a guy who had verizon.. he said verizon would not activate it at the verizon place.. i thought it would work??
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] tp2me:
well **** he did ebay dispute and it took the money out of my paypal acct! talked to him on the phone and he is sending phone back tomorrow.. learned something today ;/
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Of course the company isn't going to support a custom ROM. I would have sked for my money back too. You should have returned it to stock conditions before selling it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Diamond_dawg:
custom rom wont affect activation, the fact that it was a uscc phone caused the problem, next time only say it will work on uscc unless it has a bad esn
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Using a branded phone doesn't make a difference so long as you are going from GSM to GSM or CDMA to CDMA. Verizon and USC both are CDMA. Several people on these forums have done the same thing.

He said the other guy took his phone into a Verizon store. If they see you aren't running the stock ROM, they will refuse to activate it. I used to do the same thing when I worked for T-Mobile. We could take someone with an AT&T phone and port their number, but if we found out they used a custom ROM, then they would have to get a new device.

Custom ROMs are never, ever supported by carriers. I'm not saying that this is definitely the problem, but it is very likely.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Diamond_dawg:
You need to Learn a bit more on CDMA. Just cause a phone is unlocked won't mean it can be used on other carriers. Verizon has to add the esn to their database after Whiich he can have a Verizon line added to it. So it's not the same as gsm
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] tp2me:
Yeah guy took it to verizon and they actually tried working with him but no luck with activation over the phone..they didn't care that it was uscc supposedly... Thanks for the help.. To bad these a hole carriers won't do WHAT THEIR TOLD! AH HA.. Thanks for info
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Diamond_dawg:
Same thing happened with boost. They could not activate it cuz it was not added to the database. I think only metro pcs would do it for a fee. Not releally sure
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] razorloves:
Verizon will NOT add a foreign esn to their database. They will only activate verizon phones.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] fordry:
yup, Verizon doesn't activate anyone else's phones. Only phones with ESN's they have in their own database and they won't add a phone to it just cause you want them to.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Hey guys, my friend is looking to come to verizon.What should he get the Desire HD (supposedly releasing NOV 23rd) or the Fascinate now?

He want to fool around with custom roms and such. But he wants a fast powerfull phone.

Im bias and have the fascinate and really think touchwiz kills it!!

What do you guys think?
[Fascinate General] bL33d:
I dont know what the specs are on that phone but the fascinate is smoking fast coming from a droid.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
The Fascinate. The Hummingbird is a fantastic chipset-it will destroy the Snapdragon v2 when we get Froyo, and it still has the best GPU. Even the new Adreno 205 doesn't come close and still lags in games.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
The Desire is going to have a more prolific development scene. This is a more powerful device. I struggled between this and an incredible. Still on the fence with my choice. Lol.
[Fascinate General] bL33d:
Coming from a droid which had plenty of devs i love this fascinate it is so sleek and fast as hell. I think 2.2 will bring more development for this phone.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
That's what I'm thinking as well. It seems counter productive to spend days or hours working on something just to have it replaced in a couple weeks and have to spend all that time and effort again.
[Fascinate General] s44:
At least wait until Nov 8 before choosing the HTC. If the Nexus S is real and essentially another Galaxy S variant, then we're going to get a ton more development goodies.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Good thinking. I put my Fascinate up for sale o craigs list but im gonna wait and see whats up with the nexus 2.

I would rather have a phone that always gets updates in a timely manner. Any other phone will have a wait. Either way the HTC HD wont come to verizon till 23rd of Nov

Thanks!!
[myTouch 4G General] 20FeeTaLL:
Has anyone noticed the ringtone volume is very low when connected to WiFi? I've tested with and without WiFi multiple times and it seems to be very low whenever connected.
[myTouch 4G General] stoute:
I haven't but I have noticed when I'm using WiFi calling I get worse call quality. I know its a WiFi quality/speed thing though.
[myTouch 4G General] 20FeeTaLL:
Yea I noticed that too. Sometimes I have to disconnect the call and turn off WiFi calling to make a call..
[myTouch 4G General] hah2110:
How did you guys get this phone?
[myTouch 4G General] sym1:
I would assume that they are Tmo employees.
[myTouch 4G General] johnnyv29:
That would be the only way we have these phones already. Or unless you robbed a T-mobile employee lol. On another note, I do have this same problem as well. I thought I was just going crazy the first couple times it happened.
[myTouch 4G General] 20FeeTaLL:
Yup T-Mo employee...
[myTouch 4G General] eburganjr:
i have the same problem with ringer volume on WiFi. An update was pushed to my store demo last night during the refresh. I don't know what it was for but maybe it fixes this issue.

Hello

After running into troubles partitioning my SD using rom manager, i fiddled and found the fx for me!

Problem: use rom manager to partition sd and select sizes, phone reboots to complete actions and then clockworkmod recovery shows the yellow error triangle about signatures.

solution: goto goto install update from sd and then choose the option to disable signatures come back out of there and then goto advanced options then reboot recovery, this will then successfully partition the sd.

as i said i did not find this information anywhere, if it is double post i apologise, i am just trying to be helpful.

regards
[Wildfire Android Development] dilip007:
Youre a genius! thanks so much i was having so much trouble with this partitioning my sd card!

Thank you,

[Wildfire Android Development] f0xy:
glad i could be of help ;D
[Wildfire Android Development] makdi.msdn:
hi.. i managed to partition sd card using rom manager.

and flash back wildpuzzle rom.

but apps not installed to sd card automatically. and i cant moved some apps to sd card. e.g maps

how i know its succesfully partitioned or not? thx
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
not all apps can be moved to the sd card, you'll know you have app2sd, by looking at how much free phone memory you have ;), you will notice only a slight decrease in phone memory due to dling browser cache, facebook cache or market etc.
[Wildfire Android Development] makdi.msdn:
thx kevin. i ve tried everythng i read in d web and finally decided to ask in forum.

but somehow today i get it done. used rom manager. when i change the sd card. weird huh?
[Wildfire Android Development] Anand J:
Thank you a million tonnes :)
[Wildfire Android Development] coolsamshil9:
i am still getting same yello triangle, seems to me bermuda for me.

do we need to diable the toggle script as well? or just the signatures?
[Wildfire Android Development] sinawang:
thanks f0xy... I'm almost desperate...
[Wildfire Android Development] f0xy:
Use the thanks button!
[Wildfire Android Development] f0xy:
I never needed to. This was enough for me.

thank u so much , it worked

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlr386:
I'm rooted with unrevoked 3 and I want to remove the root so I can install the ota update. So if I do a factory reset will I be good to go? Also what is the best app to backup all of my apps and settings? Musy be a simple one because I'm clueless wirh this stuff. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
no, a hard reset will not. a reset only wipes userdata and cache and a few other things. why would you want an ota update???? just downlaod one of the roms our talented devs have created for you (most have the newest ota) and flash.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlr386:
I would but I have no idea how to flash roms and backup and all of that. I don't even know how to find the roms. Or understand the terminology. And why wouldn't I want the ota update are those good because they fix issues and improve stuff?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok, it seems this might be a little more complicated than a 2 sentence answer...

you wouldnt want an ota, not because it is not better than its predecessor, but because it is just what htc put in, and as you know, there is alot of stuff htc is not capable of, not willing to, or not creative enough to put in. that is why you would want a custom rom.

a rom is the Read Only Memory of the phone. it is the stuff that tells it what to do when something happens. it is everything you see and do when the phone is booted up, as well as while it is booting. if your phone is rooted, you can do whatever the hell you want to do with it.

the talented devs at xda (including me minus the talent) have made custom roms based off the ota's. most have little add ons and tweaks. some of the more in-depth ones have bigger changes, or even complete ui changes. these devs have packadged them in update.zip scripts, so that they will easily install on your phone. they can be found in the android dev section (in the evo forum)

before flashing a zip (installing a rom through a script) you will need to wipe everything, so it is reccomended to use the titanium backup app to backup all your apps, as well as the data in the apps.

any more questions? shoot

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlr386:
Thanks I've been researching for the past 3 hours and I've backed up with rom manager and titanium backup and I think I am ready to install my first rom. I'm looking for a completly stable rom with vanilla 2.2 that will let me use everything that I can use on stock like 4g,market, and everything else. Thanks again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
as vanilla, do you mean the lockscreen??? if you do, easy fix. if you mean stock android stuff, you will have a hard time finding 4g there... i am always willing to help. as an extremely stable rom, i reccomend fresh. very stable and looooooong battery
