[Milestone XT720 General] lilhugo:
I know this is probably a stupid question and the answer is probably no, but can we use the custom roms such as CM6, or Dext3r's rom with the XT720?

A lot of the topics say "milestone" but I figured it just means the original milestone and not any milestone variant.

I tried searching in the forum using "XT720 Roms" but it didn't show any custom roms for it.

If it is possible, then what exactly would be required to run it outside of the usual sbf,root,nandroid, and openrecovery?

Thank you for dealing with my noob-ness,

I have used Root Manager to remove some of the stock apps on the HTC Hero. (facebook, stocks, footprints etc)

When i go to applications I am now getting these showing up after reboot.

-.com.facebook.katana

-.com.amazon.mp3

-.htc.android.footprints

- etc.......

If I click on any, it gives a force close.

I removed both the adk, and odex files...Which would be from /system/app/...

Do I need to remove the data folders? /data/data/ folders? (.data/data/com.facebook.katana)

[myTouch 4G General] civicvx94:
I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue..

When I'm on the homescreen and not even holding the phone, it will mysteriously slide to the screen on the far left on its own?

Anyone else having similar behavior?

I'm temp rooted on visionary and running 7 homescreens..
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
Not sure if it's the same thing but it was reported in G2 forums many times. What happens is the light will hit trackpad at just the right angle for it to register and move. If it happens again, try moving the phone to a different spot and observe it. If you see the same behaviour - you may have a defective unit and may need to exchange it.

Good luck.
[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
When exiting the stock Froyo Car Dock (I prefer this to the T-Mo version), my phone will almost always jump directly into the 'Expose' window mode of the five home screens, without hitting the home button or touching the trackpad. It's probably not related, but it does appear to be a strange glitch.

As for your exact problem: I haven't seen it happen with mine yet. Good luck.
[myTouch 4G General] rgoyena:
It does sometimes to me. I thought im trippin.
[myTouch 4G General] civicvx94:
Ah that very well could be the issue! I'll mess with it over the next few days and try to narrow it down. It never occurred to me the trackpad light sensor could be throwing it off..Thanks alot!

[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
what home screens are you guys using?

i just installed launcher pro plus but i noticed that all the widgets cannot be used with it....

what are you guys using?
[myTouch 4G General] DADDYDC650:
I'm probably going to stick with stock. I'll make it look nice and neat using Beautiful Widgets or w/e it's called.
[myTouch 4G General] negreenfield:
I think the Sense widgets are just much nicer (I use the Weather/Clock, Photo Album, Friendstream, Bookmarks, and News), and much more polished than the LauncherPro Plus widgets. Also, the text in the launcher pro widgets are very small and difficult to read for me. The only widget in LauncherPro Plus I like better is the messaging scrolling one. I wish the Sense one had the contact pictures.
[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
im going to try all those widgets right now. the only thing thats bothering me is the background behind the apps placed on the home screen lol
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
Oh, that's VERY easy to create a metamorph for. Just substitute a transparent PNG for that icon.
[myTouch 4G General] negreenfield:
I actually like them, it's always bugged me that the app icons are not symmetrical. I'm sure I'm in the minority on that but I like that about the MyTouch (BTW, I don't actually have a MyTouch, just running the ROM on a Nexus One in the past, just recently switched back to Desire port, needed a working camera, may actually get the MyTouch soon)
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:

Anyone using launcher pro?

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] saulorama:
I am using launcher pro. I actually just bought the paid version for the extra widgets. I like it a lot. The only thing I wish it had would be the Vibrant style app drawer.

I had to get away from having the stock myFavs on the dock. Other wise the stock is ok. The stock widgets are nice but now I have widgets with paying only $3 for launcher pro.
[myTouch 4G General] saulorama:
Also the free Sense Analog Small Clock widget from the Android market makes it look just the way I want.
[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
I hear you bro. The faves on the dock is killing me lol. I'm debating if I should use launcher pro or not

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] JRDroid:
I wouldn't use launcher pro personally because mysense was one of the thing I really liked about this phone that got me to choose other over the g2 and th vibrant. It looks really nice, has cool features, and is very customizable. Plus I feel like launchers slow down phones. That is why I stopped using them on my droid I had before this
[myTouch 4G General] saulorama:
On my G1 the launcher slowed my phone down but I an not sure anything will really slow my MTG4.

I just had to get a better dock. I couldn't stand so much wasted space on my home. Lol

[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
Hey, what are those text icons? Looks pretty good if I say so myself :) Are those LP only or just a generic icon pack?
[myTouch 4G General] esincho:
Search tallmin by lekky on the forum. Launcher pro plus when you add a application to a home screen, you can change the icons. So many things you can do.
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
Thanks! I found it. I just remembered I can do it in ADW as well, just never felt like I needed to until I saw these.

Once more, thank you!
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
I like the Sense UI too but have the feeling that it is slower than launcher pro and drains faster my battery. If I open an application with launcher pro it opens immediately. If I use the Sense UI there is a short delay before the application screen is visible, mostly it is a white background with nothing on it.
[myTouch 4G General] esincho:
Sense is sluggish to me also, not as bad as the evo, but still.
[myTouch 4G General] lghorn:
I was using LP on my Vibrant and liked it a lot, so when I replaced the Vibrant with the MT4G one of the first things I installed was LP.

I can tell you from using/toying with both Sense/Espresso & LP, that LP does NOT slow down the MT4G - at least that I've noticed. For some actions I think it may actually be faster than Espresso Sense. I even have the 3D drawer option turned on so it's about like stock Froyo/G2's app drawer and even though LP warns this may result in reduced performance, it doesn't on the MT4G. You can fly through all your apps in one flick and there is NO stuttering or lag whatsoever.

I also hated the Faves button on the Espresso dock, and love that I can put 3 "pages" on my dock to keep my screen real estate clean. LP is also highly customizable with options for custom shortcuts, you can set up a function for an upward swipe on a dock icon (e.g. swipe up on the Phone icon and you can direct dial someone [e.g. da lady]), etc.

Only thing I dislike is not having access to every standard Android widget or the Sense widgets (some of which I prefer).

Now that we have perma-root, I'm interested to try out some other ROMs to see if there's other UIs I prefer, but I definitely like LP over Espresso Sense.

Everytime my battery gets to 10% , I just swap batteries and throw the low battery on the charger. I haven't plugged in my phone for a couple of weeks now.

Thanks to Paul O'Brien @ Modaco, we now have permaroot via his VISIONary+ app, which for some reason was removed from the Market. See his changelog and download site below:

http://android.modaco.com/content/t...350/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/

It's so exciting watching this stuff come alive!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Reading the thread it doesn't appear that permroot works for MT4G, or is it just inconsistent?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aznpr1de808:
my permaroot works just fine i even battery pulled twice today just to test that it really did stick. no problems so far either
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Is that using visionary+ or my guide? BTW, What's up from a flying tiger!:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
It is unfortunate Google is shutting down non-malicious useful tools like this (they also remove a rooter I had used on my N! - easy root). Unless they are being threatened by legal action from HTC or others - they should stay out of the fray.

I did not delete VISIONary for this reason 9in case i had to do a factory reset and re-root). Now, the new version with perm root will make having to do it again much easier.

I hope the below is not really what it looks like (from the download link):

11/10/2010 2:43:25 PM	Detected: Exploit.Linux.Lotoor.g	Firefox	http://pepsi.romraid.com/files/paul/com.modaco.visionaryplus.r12.apk/assets/ratc

Oh well - shut off my antivirus and downloaded file onto the SD card.

Installed it and tested it. I had gone the s=off route yesterday, so I un-rooted it (apps needing root would then not work), re-rooted it, temp and permanent. It rebootedagain, and apps that need root work OK again (it was not set to root on boot-up). App looks pretty good.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bobsbbq:
Can some more people comment on if r12 is working for MT4G permroot? And do we still have to do the other steps manually to turn S-off?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] allen099:
I was able to get it to work for me. I was temprooted and then applied permaroot. I haven't done S-Off yet, but I don't see a reason to do that yet anyhow.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
I can confirm.. I uninstalled VISIONary after a temproot and then the permroot attempt and ran quickboot and I actually got su.. :)

VISIONary r12 permroots the Touch.. Yes..

Now @gankin just needs to mod the latest kernel bits for this.. but otherwise.. just like that it works..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bobsbbq:
Do we need to uninstall the Visionary app from the Market before we install the v12?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] homerunking1221:
I seem to be having problems after I temp root my phone I go and press the permaroot button and nothing happens
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zebrapositions:
Anyone try permaroot with pre ota (2.2 not 2.2.1). I have no success by any means, need the damn ota...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] siccmade:
I tried to permroot but failed...temproot worked just fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bobsbbq:
Ok I was able to permroot mine you must be quick when you click permroot to press allow superuser permision.

I have a few questions not about the other options in the new visionary r12:

To be able to load custom ROMS etc which options do we need in visionary+ I assume we need the rw option, but what is the other option to run visionary.sh after root?

Also do we need to turn S-off? Just trying to get everything ready waiting on the recovery app.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RealityDesign:
So in the same way that the manual way wouldn't perm root my phone, neither does visionary r12. It just doesn't stick, period.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
When I did the manual way, I wasn't permrooted when I booted back up, I had to run visionary (the temporary one) one more time and rebooted and then I was permrooted.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
So it's the same app but different options (temp root/perm root) correct?

And the manual method is required to get S-OFF so that we can flash a custom recovery, yes?

Just recapping to make sure I understand.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] civicvx94:
Thats what I'm gathering..

From what I've read, even if we do achieve perm root with the app, we will still need to manually turn s-off to flash a custom recovery (and have it stick).

So my question is, does the permroot option (within visionary) even do anything for us MT4G guys? If we still need to go the manual ABD route to turn s-off, is the permroot option within Visionary just a short cut in the process to achieve s-off?

Everything seemed clear on what I was planning to do till the permaroot option lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Arcadia310:
I tried this earlier and it is not a true root, s is still on after doing everything. If you still have to do other steps whats the point of visionary? Lol.

Has anyone actually gotten a true perm root with visionary with s=off? How did you do it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
To get s=off you have to use the manual method.

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] borodin1:
IMHO, if people have to use tools like Visionary because they don't understand how to do it manually - they shouldn't root their phones. Visionary is a shortcut, not a substitute for knowledge. ADB is a must-have as well. I can't wait to see all cries for help once people start soft-bricking their phones because they cant read directions, don't know how to access ADB or, in general, don't know a singel linux command.

G1 forums were fairly decent until 1-click root was introduced and made it accessible for idiots to mod without having a slightest clue. I have a feeling MT4G forums are heading that way too.

Let the fun begin...
[Desire HD General] baritoneuk:
Hi.

(stupid me, the post title should read bcc not bbc!)

I've searched around for this but I can't seem to find anything. I recently switched from my trusty Touch HD (winmo6.1) to the Desire HD. I have a MS Exchange (2007) account and was hoping having Android might solve the issue of read receipts being automatically sent out. Whenever I read an email sent to my Exchange account where they have asked for a read receipt, the phone automatically sends the receipt. On Outlook or Thunderbird it always asks you (well it does if you set it that way). I really don't want receipts being sent out without my permission as it's a bit of an invasion of privacy. What happens if I wake in the middle of the night and happen to read some email- I don't particularly want my clients knowing I am reading emails in the middle of the night! There was no way of resolving this on WinMo but is it possible with the HTC Desire HD?

The 2nd question is still email related. I have multiple email accounts which all get sent to my Exchange account. This is fine, but if I want to reply from one of those email accounts then this is more difficult. The only way I could think of was to set up the other accounts as imap/pop3 accounts so that I can at least reply from them. The only thing is I don't want it to download all those messages again. there doesn't seem to be an option to not automatically download emails to an account (so you can just use it for sending email). Am I missing something?

Finally, it's great that HTC have given an option to automatically bcc yourself, but it's not anything more than that. I assume it emails the email address for that account, but I want to send to a specific email address which I have set up. Is this possible?

Thanks again!

[Desire HD General] baritoneuk:
Yes, I am 100%. I was aware of the Exchange 2010 thread, but it's not relevent to my question. I use Exchange 2007, but my question referrs to being able to send to a specific email address on bcc, being able to set other accounts not to download email (so I can use them only for sending), and about read receipts.

Perhaps I should have posted this in the questions and answers thread at the top, but I thought it would be ok to post a new thread.

I'm still new to this forum, and to be honest I'm always a bit wary of posting something in case I get a "use the search facility" type answer. I do understand it's important not to clutter up things in the forum, but we don't want to scare off the newbies do we?!

Noob question... If i install clockwork recovery and do a nand backup, will i be able to restore my phone, no matter what i do to it (software-wise) or can i still brick it?

Im new to rooting and mods and im looking for a way out of trouble if i screw things up.
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:
once you are done with the rooting process, and have clockwork installed as your recovery - it is very very difficult to brick your phone.

if you are dealing with the standard roms here - there is almost no way you can really screw up, to a point where you can't just go back to a functioning nandroid backup.

for further security - i copy my nandroids backups to PC, so if the sdcard ever gets toasted or corrupted - I will still have a good recovery image.
[HTC Aria General] kura808:
From what I hear you gotta do something really really stupid to brick your phone. If anything I think it's the rooting process that can brick your phone since there's no nandroid yet or if you don't do a proper procedure during a rom flash. Unrevoked makes it painless and easy. I suggest running Ubuntu then rooting because I had trouble with windows. Follow the guides and you're set =)

Edit: Here's the guide I used. Very easy and painless. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741824
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:
really the only way i can see you bricking the phone is if you screw up flashing the recovery/radio or boot image.
[HTC Aria General] rebel4ever:
Ok so if the power goes out when im flashing my phone its lost right? Even if i have my nand backup. And what about the warranty? If i flash back to my original backup and unroot, will anyone be able to tell i've been messing with my phone?
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:
I don't know that "unrooting" is as easy as just removing the superuser app, and flashing back a stock recovery image. The best way to unroot - is to flash an RUU stock image (which includes the stock recovery, and unrooted system image)

you can find the stock at&t RUU from shipped-roms.com under "liberty"
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
So dumbing this back down to superNoob level, you're saying that I could root my phone and then put it back the way it was later so that AT&T/HTC would be none the wiser?

yes.... you can go back to the un-rooted state at any time.... it is quite easy... i have tested this... it took me about five minutes to un-root my phone with the HTC RUU ... everything was stock with all the dang bloat ware and no root .... i then re-rooted and put a nandroid back up on that i made just before un-rooting...
