Pretty sure you can map it to the home button
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mightykc:
You can do it through LauncherPro. When you click on the LauncherPro dock, select Swipe gesture action and then you can pick open notification bar. Then for the button on the dock you just set this to, you can swipe your finger up and it will open your notification bar
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dragoth12:
You have a couple options for this.

1:

A. Long press any of the icons on your Launcher.

B. Select "Swipe gesture action"

C. Select "Open notifications"

D. Now when you swipe up on that icon, the notification bar will open.

2:

A. Press "Menu"

B. Press "Preferences"

C. Press "Behavior Settings"

D. Press "Home key action"

E. Press "Open/Close notifcations"

F. Now when you press the home key, the notification bar will open.

G. You can set it to still send you to your home screen first by selecting "Home key to default screen" on the "Behavior Settings" page.

Hi me and my htc desire have been together for a few months now.i love her,shes been good to me,and we are deeply in love.with one exception

the camera is pure sh^t. even my old old k850i with barely no processor and no modern os took better photos,i understand its a phone..but surely someone can mod it to be better

has any one got any ideas of how to mod etc or to get a mod

its frustrating as she is the perfect phone
[Desire General] tolis626:
Why do you say that dude?Camera's fine.Stills are really good considering its sensor is a phone's 5mpx one.Don't ask too much of it and believe me,you'll start seeing it otherwise.
[Desire General] patasenko:
You do realize that k850 was a cybershot phone with xenon flash, etc... desire's camera is not the best in the market, fortunately it's good when there is a good light and a phone can get autofocus, especially face focus... then the pictures really look good.
[Desire General] executed_apt:
I know the k850i was cybershot.but in fairness my wifes iphone 3g took better pics and thats bad when an iphone can beat a htc.as iphones r ****e.
[Desire General] Cyler:
I've been very pleased with the camera on the Desire. Sure, its no DSLR, but it captured this double rainbow just fine: flickr.com/photos/cylerparent/5154440847/
[Desire General] peytral:
I have to agree that the camera is very mediocre... but i've been spoiled by my Nokia N82 which took amazingly clear pics. The desire eems to have really bad autofocus and lacks lots of detail.
[Desire General] ix9:
if you find yourself taking more photos with your phone than your compact p&s camera. you need help.

its a phone, not a camera.

flamesuit: i had the same issue with my old iphone, the camera was sooo terrible it was pointless, so i took my p&s camera much more places. the HTC cam, however, is 10x better than the iphone.
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
There are some reports that removing the plastic lens cover on the back increases the quality of the pictures. Look in to that some more, it might help.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
Seems like there is actually a tad bit of trolling and/or stupidity with a post or two in this thread. I have found the camera on the Desire to be excellent. If you're having poor quality pictures try bumping up the sharpness and saturation by 1. It actually makes a great deal of a difference. As for the person that said the iPhone 3 takes better pictures... just get out. lol
[Desire General] Daizzy:
The camera is definitely decent but not outstanding. I still keep my N82 around as some sort of point and shoot / backup phone when I want to make better pictures. I take a snap then I send it over through Bluetooth to the Desire so I can upload it to Facebook or Twitter. Slightly better than having to pop out the memory card on a phone to load it onto a card reader or turn off your phone and slap it onto the Desire.
[Desire General] tolis626:
I agree and disagree.You don't have to remove it,just clean it very very well.If it's scratched or something,THEN you might have to remove it.But yes,looking after your lens cover does make a difference.
[Desire General] fxcw:
If you want to take pictures use a camera, not a phone.
[Desire General] executed_apt:
To be fair the lens plastic could be an issue and no i have a dslr but i cant exactly carry it in my pocket.hence why i asking.the desire kicks ass this im not disputing.just tweak the camera. Waiting for gingerbread now...a long wait
[Desire General] olly2009:
I confirm a damaged lens cover seriously degrades the quality, creating a halo, a blur on photos. Easy test: take the same photo with the back cover on and off. If you see a difference, your choice to remove the lens cover. That is what I did and I am now happy again with the photos, as when the phone was new. Shame to HTC for not putting a proper glass lens cover, the only hardware fault on this phone IMO
[Desire General] executed_apt:
YEP

no worries me and my desire will remain as a couple,it is the lens cover,i removed it and took a photo and just to be sure left camera in running mode and removed cover and replaced while watching,makes 100 percent difference to the sharpness and clearness,upon inspection the lens is scratched to buggery even though ive had a silicone casing on,but it doesnt cover the lens,so oobviously the test of time has got it,that means having to replace the back cover which is fine,ebay? maybe,ill try

so yeah in conclusion cameras fine,lens cover is shot lol
[Desire General] tolis626:
Well,if you know someone that makes/repairs watches you can ask if he can make a lens cover from the glass they use in watches.It doesn't get scratched and is better in any way than plastic.Other than that many people have reported that removing only the lens cover doesn't do any harm.Or you can also get a new battery cover.It's your call! :)

I have a problem, I am running FR007 and I can't get Clockwork to make a working backup. If I try to restore from the backup it gives MD5 error. I also tried using Rom Manager and it gives me the android with the triangle error. What do I need to do to get a working backup.
[HTC Aria General] strose09:
Try titanium backup or Astro File Manager.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Out of curiosity, when you turn off your phone or, restart it, whatever it is that you do to get into clockwork...do you have your phone plugged in with the usb cable?
[HTC Aria General] tbone22:
Yeah I get into clockwork and do a android backup but if I try to restore I get an,error. MD5 something. Titanium and astrology don't do android do they.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
lol @ astrology. damn auto correct lol. anyway, you didn't pay attention to my question. do you have your phone hooked up to usb when you are rebooting to go into clockwork?
[HTC Aria General] tbone22:
Yeah auto correct gets me alot. And no I don't have anything hooked to the phone when I try to backup.
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:

[HTC Aria General] tbone22:
No. It won't sync with HTC sync either if that helps.

same thing happened to me for almost all of my backups, i think it was because i put in a custom kernel. I switched back and it started to work again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeebspawnshop:
Hi guys.

I know that the z4mod can successfully patch a Tab kernel, without any problems (I did it myself, flashed it, and ran it just fine for a few days).

But when I tried to run one of the zip files to switch the file system, everything went nuts and I had to reflash my Tab from scratch.

So I did a little investigating, and as far as I can tell, all that needs to be done to make the whole thing successful is to modify the script in the zip file to correct the mount point names (as they are different from the SGS).

So if anyone around here knows anything about this sort of business, please take a look at it and let me/us all know, cuz it would be GREAT to get z4mod working on the Tab.

Here's the web site if anyone's interested;

Noob question. What's the benefit of running ext2/3 for the internal partitions versus rfs?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technomancer:
RFS is Samsung's partition format (FAT + journal) that is supposed to be better for flash devices. Apparently it is not so good, and very laggy. Therefore people are switching partitions to ext2/3 or moving and linking stuff to SD card with ext2/3 or jffs2 partition.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doloop:
Could you explain how you came to that conclusion ?

I was not able to locate my mount points to compare with what you did observe, but i guess we should start with that, then ask ryanZA his thought about what you've found.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doloop:
I'm really newb on linux, but i've read a little since last post.

What if we:

1 - dump mount list from a working SGT (terminal or adb shell -> mount ?)

2 - apply Z4mod then SGT won't boot (i assume it creates /etc/.fstab)

3 - edit /etc/fstab to match the dump in step 1

But, how do we read/write /etc/fstab once the sgt is locked ? using some kind of update.zip, or is there some shell service we could connect to, even if some mounts aren't in the right place ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeebspawnshop:
Unfortunately, everything I could contribute to this idea was in my first post. I know absolutely nothing about Android development, sadly...

But after reading what Deodexed said about volumes not mounting properly during recovery (he's the guy trying to get CWM to work for our Tabs) it seems that maybe that's the reason that z4mod may not work... If the volumes aren't mounted correctly, it can't convert the filesystems.

Maybe what doloop said might work? I hope so. An SGT running on ext2 would rock the socks off anything else out there. God I want it ;)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iffi302:
Well somehow, using Task29 and as per BioVolt's video tutorial, i'm able to format internal memory; copied the "kovsimg.nbh" to my memory root; my SPL has changed as per video tutorial; but when mobile restarts in 3colored screen its says no image file found.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louis0815:
I never needed to do the Task29 stuff BTW....

Have you read the thread about the "Micro SD method"?

Once you have your X1 hardSPL'd it is sufficient to

power off (remove battery for 2 seconds, reinsert)

insert µSD with KOVSIMG.nbh in root (regardless of other stuff on card, doublecheck in cardreader on PC that the file is there and has correct name)

press and hold "volume down" button, press and hold power button until tri-color screen appears

If this doesn't work you might have copied/renamed the wrong file....

So I was looking through the topics in this part of the forum today, and I saw "[Q] What is causing "Communication Failed" error?" (It won't let me post the link to it?) I followed the link in that topic and did what that guy said would help, and after doing that I restarted my phone. It did all of the startup animations correctly, I can still access the recovery menu out of it, but when I get past the startup animations, I'm just greeted with a black screen. The buttons on the bottom of the phone are lit up, but the screen gives no response. I can't turn it off without taking out the battery, and that doesn't help. If possible I'd like to try to fix this without sending my phone in, or without deleting the user data. Any fixes for this?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Not Bricked!

You have a few options as it seems your phone is "on" and should be recognized by your computer still.

What was it you were doing to the phone before it started doing this behavior.. wasn't quite clear on that....

If it was a mod to change your framework-res.apk. You can find the "stock" one in the ROM you originally downloaded and revert back to stock by doing an ADB Push to your /system/media folder.

Or... you will need to flash your phone back to stock - which means you will need to go

here

and download Odin and run it.

Always helps to have that "plan b". Bottom line though - your phone isn't bricked and you should be able to restore it and continue on. But... please note that ODIN will wipe your phone and anything you had on it will go bye bye.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt.Cheese:
androidforums.com/captivate-support-troubleshooting/217905-cant-connect-t-server-updates.html

I followed the advice on how to fix that problem in the second post in that topic. When I restarted my phone the screen just ended up going black. I'm going to try that Odin thing, I hope it works.

e. It's kinda annoying how I can't post links.

Ok Edit again, I've tried the Odin thing, and it just isn't working. Now whenever I try to put my Simcard back in, It doesn't even do the startup things, it just goes to that Phone Caution symbol PC picture thing. I'm worried that I'd have to go get a replacement.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Can you please provide us with a list of everything you have done to your phone and how you tried to use Odin? That will help us help you. Please be specific, this will get you the help you need. I read the link, did you use ADB or the first method in that thread? Sounds like you messed up while trying to fix your device manager. I am not sure how it is you tried to use Odin, try using a rear usb port, Odin can be a pain, make sure you have the drivers installed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt.Cheese:
Ok, Here's a list of what I've done to my phone over the past few days.

1. I rooted it.

2. I kinda sorta half-assed the process of allowing me to put on Non-Market apps onto my phone, I made it so that the settings.db file had the permissions all set up, but I never replaced the first settings.db file. (It's just sitting on my phone's interal SD card.)

3. I tried to do that Non-ADB method listed in that topic I linked to. After that I started having these problems.

4. I accidently ended up clearing the Data cache through the recovery menu thing. Just an accidental moving of the buttons. It didn't seem to effect anything.

5. I booted the phone into recovery mode and tried the Odin thing. It got stuck at File Analysis, and I tried again. It still got stuck, and I let it continue trying it while I was eating dinner. After I got back it was still on that, so I took out the USB cord and phone battery and put the Sim card back in. When I try to boot it up it goes to that PC error phone thing. (I can't exactly get an image of it, I hope you know what I'm talking about.)

And that's all I've done to it. I'd try a different USB port, but I don't have any more. I'd try my other computer, but that's a Linux machine, and Odin is a Windows/DOS executable file. I'm pretty sure the drivers are installed correctly, as I had been doing stuff with the phone via USB just yesterday.

I hope that's enough detail to help figure out something.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt.Cheese:
I'd hate to doulbe post, but I really really do need the help with this. If any of you have any advice for it all, please, feel free to contribute. If there is no fix for this, and my phone is actually bricked, just let me know so I can go get a replacement.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurgs:
Did you make sure you had odin started up BEFORE you put your phone in download mode? Odin is very touchy and you have to do things exactly right or it won't work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt.Cheese:
Yes, I've made sure to follow all of the steps right to the last peroid. I'm probably just going to have to go get a replacement anyway.

Here's the story, Had stock Rogers ROM, rooted successfully after several attempts, worked great, however continued tinkering trying to do a successful "unlock" with the "Samsung Galaxy S unlocker" where you download/upload/mod/download nv_data.bin file. However I was having issues and was not able to complete the process properly.

I believe I uploaded a "bad" nv_data.bin file to my phone (or md5 files weren't cleared properly) , now my phone when I turn it on, automatically shutsdown after a second or so into the "slide to unlock" screen appears.

I can't seem to get enough time to upload my backup file to the EFS dir, going root, chmoding and replacing the file. Put it into a bat file and still can't seem to get it going in time. Shuts down too quick.

I do have a complete back up of my EFS dir. but I can't seem to get anyfiles uploaded fast enough. I've tried putting the phone into the recovery screen but then I don't get the SU permissions to upload the file. properly.

So if I use Odin to flash to a stock ROM will that help? BTW I can't seem to get to megaupload to download the ROGERS stock ROM, even on that's not stock and has rooted, would be nice if someone knew of a mirror somehere of the stock rom, (mega upload is blocked for me...)
