there was nothing offensive or said with an attitude in this post. it was only til you noobs came on here with misplaced android pride. he didnt compare berrys to droids. he simply said they have an app for it.

this is a great question. the tilt function seems almost too sensitive. it would be great to maybe tweak it somehow to make it so you really have to hold the phone sideways....instead of slightly tilt the phone. an app to block it in certain situations is good but i feel that id have to micro manage too much to specify every single situaiton id want tilt or not.

for the record... i'm am a die hard android user and his post did not push my buttons at all. this post is very useful.

ADW launcher has an option in system preferences for home screen orientation.

Just change it from auto to portrait, that's what I did.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dynamikd:
Wow no one answered your question. Well here it is, when you are on the home screen hit the Menu - Behavior Settings and uncheck Enable Auto-Rotation.

That will disable auto rotation on the home screen. Now go into Settings - Display and make sure Auto-rotate screen is checked. This way you will be able to but your screen into landscape mode when surfing the web or using apps that auto rotate. Now if you want to be able to choose specific apps, that I have no knowledge of doing. Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gravis86:
Tasker (on the Market) can be set up to enable/disable auto-rotation on many different triggers, like when a certain app is launched. Plus it can do a lot more that that! Check it out I think it's well worth the money.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Acid_Wir3:
okay here's my idea i havent read any other post so i dont know if it's redundant.

disable auto rotation

then go to the web browser and enable "view on landscape mode only"
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Rickroller:
Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to you sir. And btw..It wasn't as simple as just setting my browser settings to landscape because I also like to view texts and im's in landscape mode. It never even occurred to me to check the Launcher Pro settings..so thanks again for that :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Nissan350:
Excellent.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dynamikd:
Glad I could help. I know I was having the same issue at one point in time and it was very annoying. I didn't want to give up on Launcher Pro because the widgets are awesome and it gave me "sense" on my stock android! If you haven't played with Launcher Pro Plus, you should give it a whirl. The widgets that are unlocked with it are definitely top notch.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ddotpatel:
This is the correct answer if using Launcher Pro, I'd assume it would be pretty similar for adw launcher too.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bwilborn:
I'd have to agree. I'm really liking the facebook and calendar widgets.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dynamikd:
The crazy thing is I actually NEVER played with ADW, yet I keep hearing how really good it is. So good in fact, that some custom ROMS have it built in. Would you recommend it?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dynamikd:
Not only those but what about the Friendstream widget? It is damn near an exact replica of the sense widget. I also like how when you use the picture frame widget, you can resize it. That feature is only available on LPP not LP.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ddotpatel:
Every time I try ADW I am always disappointed with the jerkiness/lack of smooth scrolling. I try it once every few months but never stuck with it.

Definitely Launcher Pro for me, smooth, customisable, practical,... who could ask for more?

..... Definitely a useful feature!!!!
[Android Software Development] johnemc2:
As all great developments start as an idea.

Would it be possible to have an external storage device connected to the hdmi port. Like making it emulate a usb port.

A lot of the devices uses a hdmi type a port for charging and communication. I don't think it wouldn't be impossible.

I would love to hear any ideas or comments.
[Android Software Development] _Schizm_:
I'm going to say that it's unlikely since the bulk of the processing for HDMI is done within a single chip that encompasses the actual protocol.

Well, until HDMI 1.4 becomes a standard in mobile devices. HDMI 1.4 has provisions for an Ethernet channel so you could do communications with an external device that way. Even then, I'd imagine that the spec is only calling for ethernet on its own path within the cable structure and not through the data channels used for A/V or CEC, so you wouldn't get the bandwidth that the A/V channels are using. I'm expecting the idea had sprung from the large bandwidth made available to the A/V channel (4Gb/8Gb depending on the version).
[Android Software Development] sitlet:
The same reason you cant connect a storage device to the usb port: the phone doesnt have host support. You can plug whatever you want into it, but nothing will happen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suryclarsen:
Hi everyone,

I finally managed to get CyanogenMod 6.1 up and running, and I proceeded to download the GApps bundle from here, making sure it was HDPI. I flashed it and it installed fine, phone booted, etc. The only thing is, I can't find Android Market. The wiki says it's included, but I can't find it anywhere after flashing this. GMail is there, as well as maps and everything else.

I've tried emailing myself the vending.apk file (tried a few different versions), and then opening/installing it from my phone after enabling apps from unknown sources. It recognizes it as the market app, tries to install, and then gives me the message "Application not installed" over the progress bar after about a second.

I then restored to my backup of a fresh Cyanogen install, tried clearing all the cache (both regular and Dalvik) and then reinstalling, but one of two things happens:

Either I get stuck in the Cyanogen loading screen, or after booting and loading the "touch the android to continue" screen, I get an error, the screen goes blank except for the status bar at the top, and rebooting only brings back the infinite Cyanogen screen.

I love Cyanogen, but I also need market. Is there any way to install it manually that will work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overide88:
so I recently screwed up while flashing Doc's latest ROM. Bricked my phone and had to go to the service center to get it fixed. Did not have the 3 button mode enabled.

Why isn't there a 6.1 stable Cyanogenmod for the inc? There is for every other phone...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
I hope it is stable, im runnin 6.1, invisiblek#16 kernel, with 9.01 radio, and this thing seems stable as hell, and fast, consistently over 1500 on quadrant. maybe its your settings, this thing just works for what I need, and the people here were really helpful.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
CM is managed by different people for difference devices. Koush is responsible for CM for the DINC, so we have to wait until he approves 6.1 stable.

You can always get the latest nightly here: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc

..which are currently very close to the 6.1 found on other devices.

I have been checking that site every day for the 6.1 stable, but I imagine it will be out very soon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude0909:
Yeah Donny, don't get me wrong, all the CMods I have ran in the past have always been "stable" per se, and I love 6.1 RC2, I was just wondering about the ACTUAL stable 6.1.

Yeah I know that they are managed by different people, so Koush hasn't approved 6.1 stable? Like, are there a few Inc specific bugs or something?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
I'm not sure how the specific approval system works, but it may be possible there is an INC specific bug. It's also possible that the INC version is just as stable as the others.

If there's one thing I learned from CM is that the "Stable" version is not always actually stable. For example the current 6.0.2 stable is much more broken than the 6.1 RC2.

If you're using 6.1 RC2 then I would recommend using the latest nightly for now, I'm personally using 175 and it's been stable for me so far, I haven't found any bugs (knock on wood).

Since the versions are so similar, it is not necessary to data reset/clear cache every time you upgrade the OS, so it's not a big hassle to update it once the actual version comes out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude0909:
Yeah I'm using the nightlies now. They are cool! FYI, the Gingerbread theme for CM Nightly is awesome! haha

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Not sure. There are NON sense roms out there though. Not sure about launcher pro but take a look at the Rosie mods out there and the themes for Sense in the Theming section
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMagicalSock:
Calkulin has a utility that will rip out Sense from any Sense ROM, but I've never tested it.

Honestly, the best idea would be to backup your Launcher Pro settings with Titanium Backup and install CM6.1. That is vanilla Android plus essentially unlimited settings.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] IcedCube:
PLEASE READ THIS POST AND UNDERSTAND IT CLEARLY BEFORE USING THIS ROM!​

Heyo,

This ROM is now a port of the Nexus S Gingerbread ROM leak for the HD2. I would like to make it clear that this ROM may be unstable and not for everyday use! Since we're using a version of Android designed for a different device, we may have issues. The leaked build I'm using is available here - some modding is required though.

Starting from 0.05, my builds come with a 96MB Data.img file to get you out of trouble. I will provide data.img files that are 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 768MB in size. You can make your own image via a terminal on Linux like this (don't type the dollar sign or the stuff behind it)

coburn@Misaka:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/Android/folder/data.img bs=1M count=128M
coburn@Misaka:~$ mke2fs /path/to/Android/folder/data.img

(answer 'y' to the question when mke2fs says "data.img is not a special block device, proceed? [y,n]")

Installation

Extract the "Android" folder in the ZIP file below to your MicroSD Card, pop it into your HD2, open File Explorer from WinMo, find the Android folder, tap CLRCAD.exe and then Haret.exe and watch the sparks fly.

For patches, extract the files in the patch archive to your MicroSD Card, overwriting any existing files.

Downloads

You can download the ROM from my server below. Please don't use download accelators, they will make my VPS cry...

LATEST VERSION IS 0.5, PLEASE DO NOT USE OLDER VERSIONS AS YOU WILL BE ASKED TO UPGRADE IF YOU SAY SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING ON THOSE OLDER BUILDS!

Version 0.01 > Get the goodness here! <

Version 0.02 (Patch only, download v0.01 first!) > Get the goodness here! <

Version 0.03 (Only a data.img for people who are having boot problems) > Get the goodness here! <

Version 0.05 > Get the goodness here! <

Version 0.05 requires 7-Zip to extract

Disclaimer

If I used any of your works and I did not acknowledge you, I am not claiming your work as my own. That would be the wrong thing to do (and I am not intending to "kang" any sources). I am also not responsible if your device is bricked or broken by direct or indirect use of this ROM.
