The landscape mode is made by you?

It’s better to add some description what working and what doesnt working and also some photos
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Benjos:
Doesn't work

i try it is the best way to mess up sense . doesn't work at all
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] behnamk2000:
Wallpaper for program ...
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, any update, news or further infos? I´ve achieved to rotate my Sense simply by using some registry tweaks, but since our manila is not "landscape ported", I could only have it rotate (all tabs) the first time after enabeling sense, then when rotating back to portrait and then again to landscape, my screen always turns black... I can reproduce this everytime I want, but I would like to help/have it fully enabled ;)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] G_won:
Was wondering if anyone tried this or found a smiliar fix for the stupid lockscreen blocking the wallpaper. I can tollerate or even appreciate much of everything else in this version of Sense, everything except my animated wallpaper getting blocked by this crap :mad:
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] nvmehaterz:
try downloading from market two apps, one called no lock so u can disable the sense lockscreen then download an app called simply lockscreen, you can choose the transparency to what you want so your background will show thru, love it!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sicdroid:
You can also use Root Explorer and delete the HTClockscreen.apk and ODEX file. You will have a transparent lockscreen with the stock ASOP sliders...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] G_won:
well i perma rooted phone thanx to visionary & deleted the HTCLockscreen apk & odex file.

yet I still get the lockscreen, even when i delete and immediately reboot.. THE HTCLOCKSCREEN APK & ODEX FILES COME BACK IN /system/apps !! :(

wtf am I doing wrong? lol - did this whole rooting thing before on older android phone yet the lockscreen that won't die is making me feel like a n00b :(

also read on here that Titanium Backup can also force out HTC Lockscreen to Froyo default but don't know what app name it falls under in the huge list of apps on my phone since i don't see anything obvious like "HTC Lockscreen" or anything of the sort.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aznpr1de808:
make sure youre deleting the apk from /system/app and that youre mounted in R/W that worked for me now i have the transparent AOSP lockscreen. but understand that if you delete this apk your stock alarm wont function properly and you will have to download an aftermarket app from the market. for some reason HTC tethered the stock alarm into the HTClockscreen.apk lol so it goes off when its set to go off but you cant dismiss the alarm afterwards lol
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kambiz.aghaiepour:
Is there any way to make it NOT be transparent but rather with a black background, (or possibly other configurable setting, such as settings -> personalize -> lockscreen background)? The transparency looks not so good as the desktop widgets come through and the texts overlay one another.

I renamed the HtcLockScreen.apk (I have the deodexed ice glacier rom) in /system/app but ended up putting it back because it caused me to have convulsions for it to be transparent.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] dc4:
wrong post
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] G_won:
lol yes yes and yes i have R/W mounted in the root folder (otherwise it wouldn't let me delete anything lol). and i do go in that exact folder and for the moment those two files are deleted

yet the moment turn screen off and bring it back up... there's the dreadful lock screen of HTC's even tho the files are deleted. and upon rebooting the phone (hard or quick reboot) they magically appear :(

is everyone who deleted these two files with success using a secondary ROM? Because I'm still on the default ROM since.. well I still like much of the default ROM outside of course... this cursed lockscreen :mad:
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kambiz.aghaiepour:
You have s=off ? If you don't, even though you're remounting /system as rw, it might not be writing back out to flash memory if s=on. Just a thought.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] G_won:
more then a mere thought, it's the fix that finally works! :D

went through all these steps except the visionary stuff that I already did to get root and after deleting those two HTCLockscreen files & rebooting, whala!

of course I'm now seeing the issue folks was talking about with seeing the homescreen icons/widgets through the lockscreen but i feel like progress was made still. thanks all! :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Poignant:
How can you hide the homescreen icons, dock, and activities from the clear sliding lock acreen after deleting the htclockscreen file?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] RavenWulf:
not sure about Espresso/Stock but on the Desire HD and Desire Z ROMs the only thing that shows through is the wallpaper (static or LWP whatever you have set), no icons or widgets.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Poignant:
Well those phones arent the one with the issue, the g2 has the stock lockscreen I want.

I deleted the htclockscreen.apk but not the htclockscreen.odex and I do get the transparent lockscreen with the sliders people mention, (idk what's the point of deleting the odex file if it works fine by just deleting the apk) I also get the icons, widgets etc. being displayed in the lockscreen as well. This is my main issue. Is there a way to fix the settings of the ASOP lockscreen that has been aquired by deleting the htclockscreen.apk? How? If not can I just flash a zip of a ASOP lockscreen instead, that way its not been modified by htc?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] vw671:
Did you guys see this one? I've been using it since Dec.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847714
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] RavenWulf:
I wan't talking about the phones, i was talking about the ROMs that have been ported from their stock versions to run on our phones. Stock they are running HTC Sense without the TMO Espresso overlay on top of it. I was pointing out that on Stock Sense deleting the HTCLockscreen.apk it gets you have the "stock" G2/AOSP screen like what you are wanting where you can see your wallpaper image or your LWP running behind the locksliders without seeing all your icons and widgets. so if you (like myself) prefer Sense over AOSP/CM but prefer the AOSP lockscreen sliders, then switching to one of eVil D's or Gr8Gorilla's Desire HD ports or eVil D's Desire Z port will let you have exactly what you are trying to do. and it's not just this phone... my wife's phone and my backup phone the MT3G-Slide which also runs Espresso over Sense has the same issue on the stock ROM. it is an issue with Espresso.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Poignant:
Thank you guys both responses are really helpful ( : I actually made a combination of both evil d's desire z port and the updated zip found on post #48 of the thread of the link provided lol,

"THANKS, worked like a charm!!! Here's the updated zip file. Attached Files Really_Trans.arrows.Lockscreen.zip (3.1 KB, 50 views)"

It works really nicely, except the lockscreen music widget is shifted to the right when music is being played when

the transparent lockscreen zip has been applied. Stock rom or port rom of desire z.

@Ravenwulf whats the difference between evil d's desire hd port and gr8gorilla's desire hd port? and whats the difference between the desire z port and desire hd port? Pros and cons?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] RavenWulf:
differences between eVil D's HD port is that it is using a newer baseband for the build and some of the themes ported for gorilla's ROM have issues with eVil's ROM. but there is a thread over on the D-HD board that has a bunch of themes/skins that work with both CAN BE FOUND HERE, just download the ones you like and install them (not flash but install using a file manager like Astro). the only major/noticeable difference between the D-HD and D-Z that I found is that the D-HD only has portrait mode for the home screen when using stock/Sense launcher (like our stock/Espresso ROM), where as the D-Z home screen will rotate between portrait and landscape depending on how you're holding the phone.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Poignant:
Wow that was a fast reply. I'm gonna sound like a total noob, what's baseband? Does it mean

Like signal strength? So should I use evil d's Rom instead because it'll have faster speeds?

Also I noticed gr8gorilla has the genius button app installed in his d-hd rom while the other two roms from evil d don't.
[Desire HD General] ccart:
Hi guys,

Should be getting my Desire HD sometime next week if all goes to plan (super excited :D ). I have bought it sim free online so it's cost me £470 and as you can imagine I'd like to protect this investment against any mishaps.

I've been looking around at phone insurance and there seems to be a decent choice out there. Just thought I would get your opinions before purchasing any.

I can't get insurance from my provider (o2) cause I'm on a sim only tariff and would like to keep it that way and my phone isn't covered in my house insurance policy. So I would like any recommendations on any phone insurers. I am based in the UK (so need a UK insurer).

I just want it to cover all the basics really such as theft, liquid damage, accidental damage etc. etc. Loss cover would be nice but it is not a must.

Thanks :-)
[Desire HD General] mancuk29:
Who do you bank with some banks do a add on package where you get things like mobile insurance and travel insurance ?
[Desire HD General] ccart:
Sorry I forgot to mention that, I bank with HSBC. I checked with them and they do not offer a separate phone insurance or belonging insurance other than that covered in their home insurance policy (and I don't insure my home with them).
[Desire HD General] PowerHouseDan:
Add it to your house insurance who will insure it for Cover both in and out of house mine for the year extra was 6euro
[Desire HD General] vimto25:
HSBC do have phone insurance package as I had this few years ago and I claimed. Over all experience was very quick and with in 3 weeks I had 450 in my bank. I'm currently with natwest and have advantage blue package that gives me phone insurance for phones worth upto 750 and I pay £6.95 a month. I would recommend going with HSBC but if thy don't do it no more open a current account with natwest and ad a advantage blue package. End of the day ya don't have to use the bank. Or insure ya phone at ccpclaims this is the company natwest use for there advantage blue package.
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
why would you need one? if in some cased you broke your phone and the price of fixing it exceed the price of buying new one, then just buy a new one, or if it was less then fix it. i'm sure it wont cost more than the amount of money you eventually going to pay for the insurer.
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Personally i use fonesafe, its £5.99 a month and they guarantee a new phone to your door in 24 hours.

If you don't mind waiting a little longer you can try:

http://www.insureandgo.com/phone-insurance.html

They have excellent customer service, and the claim will be dealt with reasonably fast, although it breaks, they will try to repair the phone rather than replace it (they will replace if it cannot be repaired).

Whomever you go with though you must be EXTRA careful to both read the policy in full and keep the insurance people up to date with your details. If you miss out anything important or do not claim in time etc you are VERY likely to lose your claim. Having said that, if you are mindful you wont have an issue :)

J

No end: Insurance covers against loss/theft AND accidental damage. In my opinion it is well worth it, i pay £140 over the course of the handsets life (2 years), during that time i dont have to worry about losing or breaking it (my two biggest worries), that peace of mind is worth it in my opinion. Naturally, opinions differ!
[Desire HD General] ccart:
well the cost of the phone is £470...the cost of insurance is about £5-£8 a month (£60-£96) a year. Insurance doesn't just cover breakage though, it will cover the phone against theft and the more expensive packages (£7-8) cover it in case you lose your phone. Liquid damage is also something it covers and being in the rainy UK you just never know...2 years ago my phone got destroyed because I was walking on the side of the road and got splashed by a passing bus driving through a puddle.

I realise that being Bahraini things work differently out there (I used to live in the UAE) so phones are a lot cheaper (no VAT) and that things such as theft and rain are less common so insurance isn't even considered :)
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
i have my student home insurance with endsliegh. phone insurance was £24 FOR THE YEAR and covers loss, accidental damage (inc water damage), and theft. replacement within a week. awesome.

asked my parents and they said their phones are covered by their home insurance for pennies, so it might be worth asking your home insurance company first.
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
let say i'm in bahrain, and my phone got stolen, how they would be sure that it is stolen??
[Desire HD General] ccart:
Well here in UK you'd have to call the police and report it stolen and tell them how. If you left it in your car which was unlocked and left it on the seat for everyone to see then obviously the insurance company would not pay out as it was incompetence on your part. But if they smashed a window and took it from the glove box then it would say that in the police report and the insurance company should cover it. The same applies for if its taken from your house or if it stolen of you directly...most important thing is to report it and get the crime report from the police.
[Fascinate General] Irishpride:
I went to check my downloads in the market to see if there were any updates and all that was in there were my paid apps, none of the freeones were in there. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a fix?

Sent From My Galaxy S
[Fascinate General] Kaessa:
Try clearing your market cache?

(Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Market/Clear Cache)
[Fascinate General] howtodoo?:
i have the same problem this didnt work. anyone else have other suggestions?? thank you
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
Two things to try, either should fix it, if not, try the other.

1.) Try downloading a new app that you haven't already downloaded, and install it, thru the market as usual. After it's installed, check your download list. A few seconds later, the download list should parse and your missing apps should appear

2.) In the Pro version of Titanium Backup, hit your menu button, choose More, and than Market Doctor.

[Vibrant General] witeboy07:
i have the vibrant and its rooted and i use it as my daily internet tether, its fast and i donwload stuff,but i have been getting a feeling to trade it for a tmobile G2, should i guys, what do you guys think?
[Vibrant General] Fuskand:
One, good luck, as the G2 is way more in demand than a Vibrant (from gleaning the Marketplace),

and Two;

I have owned both. I prefer the vibrant. Going from a vibrant, the G2 screen looks abit washed out. Keyboard is nice though.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
If a heavier feel, smaller non SAMOLED screen, higher benchmark scores, physical keyboard (and possible not so reliable hinges that come with it) are the thing for you, go ahead.

At least CM is very proficient with HTC devices, so you will get one of the best customized ROM's for your device instantaneous given you don't brick it while perma-rooting it.

As far as I can see, real life performance these two are comparable, Sammy gets an icing on the cake thanks to awesome screen though.

EDIT: And as far as the hspa+ capabilities of the phone, if you get the service in the area you are in and you think it is worth it, then all I can say your 5GB/mo limit will deplete faster :p and you will be throttle to EDGE anyway.
[Vibrant General] witeboy07:
My question is,4g will get better later in time right, because on my vibrant I always get good speeds of 7.9 mbps tops
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Same exact reason I returned MT4G and went back to Vibrant. Once you SAMOLED, you just can't go back :D.

@OP: If you are hitting 7 Mbps on your Vibrant, that means the connection in your area is very good (and probably with very little traffic congestion). Since you are maxing out on your Vibrant, I am going to go out on a limb and say 4G phones (G2/MT4G) will give you better than 7 Mbps. Not that you need it...
[Vibrant General] witeboy07:
I have a tmobile even more plan so everything is unlimited, the limit doesn't affect me
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Check your account usage online, and get down to earth.
[Vibrant General] witeboy07:
I just checked it, unlimited android web, usage 0%, downloads big files
[Vibrant General] vamp6x6x6x:
I got to test the G2 out because one of my mates have one and I will admit the G2 seems to be more responsive, but I missed the Vibrant screen and I think I am one of the few people who actually likes and enjoys the Touchwiz UI.
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I stopped by the newest tmobile store last week and tried out the hd7, mytouch 4g and g2 along with my vibrant. The hd7 did impress me(though I hear negative long term reviews), the mytouch was responsive and I liked it, but the "mysense" UI seems a little cheesy. The g2 I tried out definitely was not lag free. Quicker than the stock vibrant, but there was noticeable lag going through menus and apps... more so than the mytouch.

If it weren't for the aesthetics and keyboard, I'd get the g2. I think it looks outdated, and have no need for a physical keyboard bulking up my phone. I am envious of the processor, but my modified vibrant runs how I'd hope any high end phone to run. Stock for stock - g2.
[Vibrant General] mmas0n:
Only you can answer this question. Personally, I would not take the screen downgrade. Ever. No way. I find the SAMOLED to be hands down the most attractive display on any mobile device right now. The only thing that even comes close is the IPS panel in the iPhone 4, but side by side the SAMOLED is faster and has a more accurate color gamut including true blacks.

If you're going to trade the Vibrant for anything, at least wait for Nexus S or Galaxy S2.
[Vibrant General] rjhay22:
Lol your vibrant is getting 7.9mbps? When hsdpa max is only 7.2mbps? Wow you got a special phone you really should keep it :-)
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
The Vibrant's got an awesome screen and is much lighter. But the G2 is noticeably faster. And I'm not talking about the internet speeds. There is no lag in anything it does. The Vibrant with all the lag fixes is still slower. It's ironic inspite of the supposedly better hardware. The reason I returned the G2 was because of the crap HTC and T-Mobile pulled with the non-permanent root.

But seeing the way the Froyo update is going on the Vibrant and Cynanogen's mod is progressing and the fact that a working permanent root is now possible with the G2, I think it's only a matter of time that I trade in my Vibrant for the G2. From now on, I'm going to stick with HTC. Samsung's simply not doing itself any favors by dragging its feet with new OS releases. I thought that it would be different with a world wide release of the Samsung Galaxy S, but I was wrong. By the time we get 2.2, 2.3 will be out. With HTC and Cynanogen's mods, I'd get upgraded much faster.
[Vibrant General] witeboy07:
i say 7.9 mbps because i was downloading through tether and i use speedtest and it showed 7.9mbps tops. im not lying, but i might just keep it becasue of the screen and the lag free roms out there.thanks for your help guys
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
This is the same thing with me.

got the G2

and Missed My Vibrant ;)

:D

The Vibrant has a better quality Camera.

The Vibrant has a dedicated DSP(music sounds better)

The Vibrant has TV-Out.

The Vibrant Screen Glass is smoother and nicer.

The Vibrant as 4" screen(anything smaller feels tiny)

The Vibrant has a good speaker.

The G2 has a ****ty speaker(It's really tinny)

The G2 hinge felt cheap.

PSX4Droid runs slower on the G2.

Snesoid was more fun on the G2(The Keyboard)
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Vibrant 3G speeds in an HSPA+ market are impressive (especially for a 3G phone), but I don't even think it's possible to get speeds that high on a Vibrant...
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
the highest I consistently get with speedtest.net app is 6.5M
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
7.2 is the highest you'll download on the phone, or tether from a computer through the phone. This is what you sound like:

"I tethered my netbook to a computer with a dial-up modem (via Internet Connection Sharing) and was downloading files at 3mbps... It was awesome!"

Speedstests are widely known to be often inaccurate.

Even HSPA+ handsets are having trouble achieving those speeds on T-Mobile's network, as well as WiMAX handsets for Sprint (average speeds being ~5-6mbps).

That's part of the reason why HSPA+ isn't much of a selling point. The only real advantage of it is better ping (which may matter for some applications notably VoIP and Video Chat applications) and better upload speeds (ditto).
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
I have used both, and my friend and I have discussed, studied, compared my vibrant and his G2. The Facts are this

Screen: Vibrant has better color,bigger,etc. G2 has a great screen, but SAMOled wins

Proc: G2 wins this easily (wont go into specifics, but its far better then the vibrants)

GPU: I Theory vibrant wins, in use I peg them equal since I dont see lag with either.

Storage: Vibrant wins there of course XD but G2 can have 32gb sd card, which is more then enough

Data Speeds: G2 of course

All other areas are really the same, you can get really picky and point out the 2-channel ram bus on the vibrant, the OC ability of the G2, etc. But in the end of the day, they're both are absolute top of the line. If you like your vibrant, keep it, if you really want the G2 go for it, you wont be disappointed. The choice is all in what you want, nobody can tell you what you want......except maybe Steve Jobs....he seems good at that XD lol
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
I just wanted to say one thing about this, since its your opinion and you welcome to it, but I do believe the G2 has a dedicated DSP also. The G2 from what I remember has a dedicated 5.1channel audio processor, which also is part what i believe to be the reason for its amazing noise canceling ability =) And the G2 speaker really is not that bad (My G1 has a terrible speaker XD) The size difference is also minimal in my opinion, 3.7 vs 4? that .3in, not much really. The G2 I have used has show itself to more then easily keep pace with the vibrant in many aspects, and they trade blows for different things. Its all down to preference and I prefer my vibrant =)
