i haven't figured that out yet on this rom. i know on some other roms, where the clock on taskbar is, if its color is black, it would appear as if there is no clock. i do not know if this applies to your situation or not.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kcimpulse:
OK I think I have finally figured out why the CM6.0 or CM6.1 email app does not work with my exchange server. My company loves to block unsupported devices. Aka the iPhone doesn't work only windows mobile is suppose to work by their documents. But i do know that they allow the HTC email app to work on the Evo, and when i was running CM5.08 i was able to use HTC Work Email.apk ... SO Palm, HTC , and Windows Mobile Device Type / Ids are allowed on the server, there is no way i can get the company to change those rules.

Does anyone know how to get a working HTC Sense Email app to work on CM6.1? IF so please tell me how.

Or if you do not think that will work, is there a way to change the Device Type or Device ID Fields for the stock android email app?

Please any help would be awesome. I love Cyanogen and don't want to switch to a sense mod, but my Exchange email is so important.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
You can't use any Sense Apps on AOSP
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Why the hell are so many people asking to use HTC apps on non-Sense devices??? IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! The only app that I am aware of is the HTC Music app. That's it! You can't use dialer, contacts, browser, twitter, friendster, weather, email, rosie, etc.

It's because of the framework and kernel differences. It'll be so much easier to create an app that is similiar to HTC's than to use the original. Honestly though... if you like Sense UI so much... get a device with Sense UI. It'll be much easier.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kcimpulse:
Personally i love AOSP, the only reason i was looking for it was because the HTC email app on sence is much better and free. Well and my company doesnt block that email app like they do the stock one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noise:
Greetings,

I have two Vibrants - one I bought from TMobile (and running stock everything), and one I later bought on eBay (running Froyo thanks to TeamWhiskey). I bought the second phone so that I could mess around with flashing ROMs and be able to brick a phone without it mattering. Hah.

Last night, for no reason I can discern, my stock TMobile Vibrant phone spontaneously soft bricked itself. My eBay test phone is fine.

I don't hugely care WHY the Tmobile phone bricked itself, but what I do care about are the pictures that are on the internal storage area.

I used Odin last night to flash in T959UVJI6.tar (but I did NOT use the 512.pit file). One of the posts I read said that doing so should fix a soft brick, without messing up the internal user storage area where pictures are located. No change - when I power on the Tmobile phone it hangs at the Galaxy S logo and then goes black.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to access the internal storage area of a soft bricked Vibrant? And/or, can someone explain or point me at an explanation of what impact using a PIT file (vs not) and checking the "reformat" box in Odin (vs not) will have on the internal storage area? I don't care about overwriting the apps - I am just hoping there is some way to pull off the pictures or unbrick the phone WITHOUT deleting them.

Many thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FRuiTBoOT:
Wrong section..probably going to get flamed. Odin again with the pit file and you still wont lose pics and stuff. But next time...Q and A section...not being a ****, but that's where you ask all your questions.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noise:
Thanks for the reply. Is there some way I can move my post to the Q&A section? Or is that something only a Mod can do?

Also, do I check the reformat box or leave it unchecked?

Thanks again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nranson:
No need to reformat.

That's only for special occasions, really. And yeah, as far as I've seen, only mods can move posts.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PDY05:
yeah i would also like to know to that. the other day i deleted the 3d gallery app apk odex files because it was annoying the hell out of me with it's referenced folders - i tried clearing the default folder and but it was still showing random pictures from the shutdown folder and where ever else - so what did i do? i backed up the apk and odex file then deleted them from the system folder. rebooted w/o any issues - then i tried installing the apk... nothing - kept giving me a failed app install notification. i tried this 3-4 times then gave up. at this point i restored the apk/odex file to the system folder and rebooted the phone - nothing... gets past the galaxy s animation screen then screen goes black... nothing....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PDY05:
tried multiple reboot and keeps getting to the same black screen of doom - the other odd thing is windows do recognize it after it gets past the galaxy s boot screen and into the blank screen when i check in the device manager

ADB pull /sdcard/"whatever u have on ur phone"

Reading is Fundemental
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmattmanz:
I'd also like to know if there are anyways to access the internal memory of a soft bricked phone. I know I can use ODIN, but I could fix the problem right now sans computer or USB if Clockwork recovery could access my sd card; I flashed a new kernal on stock JI6 and apparently needed to to flash a backsupport.zip first.

So, I don't have a cable with me, so can't use ODIN, clockwork recovery doesn't restore kernals and doesn't access the SD so... I'm screwed until I get home (not a huge deal). Alternatively, I could also not get clockwork to USB mount so I don't think that works either.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PDY05:
lol thanks man. but i also tried that. adb can't recognize it - and i found out it's the hard lock t-mobile version where doing the three button power up does not get you into the recover screen. unless i read that wrong? lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noise:
Update: I used Odin again, this time with both the TAR and the PIT file. Same result as last time. Odin appears to have completed copying everything over successfully, but upon reboot, I still get the soft-brick Galaxy S that doesn't go away.

I didn't try ADB earlier because all the posts/various docs I read thus far seemed to imply that ADB needed a normally functioning phone - not one that got stuck at the Galaxy S logo. I was wrong. :)

Here's what I did, hope it helps someone else. [Commands below assume you're using windows, and want to copy the entire contents of the internal SD memory (called "/sdcard") on your PC that you created (e.g., "c:\sdcard"]

1. Install ADB

2. Plug in soft-bricked phone and power on

3. Run command prompt and navigate to the directory where adb.exe is located. In my case, it was C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools.

4. From the command prompt:

adb pull /sdcard c:/sdcard

NOTE: the c:/ slash should be as shown - not c:\ as you would normally type under Windows.

392 seconds later, I had all 8G of photos on my PC. :) :) :)

I still don't know why the stupid phone won't boot properly, but now I don't care and can blast everything away. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Next time I'll be sure to post in Q&A instead.

Anyone out there able to find a way to invert the colors on the browser (or do the below)? Or make a "nighttime mode"? I know Cyanogen has included this on many roms and I believe it shouldn't be too hard (I am a programmer, just not android!).

My guess would be to find where it parses the page and perhaps do a ghetto rig by forcing the background color to black and forcing all text to white.

Thanks!

EDIT: pringlet recommended "Screen Filter" in the market. Its free and works perfectly for surfing at night.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deano0714:
I looked and didn't seem to find anything to change the color on the browser but I'm also using my phone to look thru the files so I'm shure it can't read some of the codes that are in the files... I'm a noob to when it comes to developing but if somone could help me out it would be greatly appriciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewX2:
Although purely speculative, do you know where it actually parses HTML? If so, perhaps it is possible to replace "</head>" while its parsing with the following instead:

<style>

body { background-color:#000000; }

</style>

</head>

--------

If that works to change the background then we can work to change the text color.

Not sure if it helps save battery, but check out a program called "Screen Filter" (free in the Market). It effectively reduces the brightness of the Epics screen by applying a darkish tint to the display. It works great and has made the bright screen very useable during night use.

Hi,

today I got a notification from HTC Hub indicating that there were 2 new plugins for HTC Sense which are LinkedIn and Picasa.

I chose both to install, LinkedIn installed and I can see it and its nice. However, Picasa downloads but didn't install. Tried again as the notification still were there, but same thing happend again, downloads but never installs. Then the notification vanished!

I tried to find the Picasa Album plugin on HTC hub on both phone and HTCSense.com but never found it!!

Anybody experienced the same?

Does anybody know where HTC Hub downloads the files? I might find Picasa for HTC Sense file there and install it manually.

It would be nice to have the Picasa Album plugin so I do not need any third party app. :-)

I chose to install Picasa as the other two didn't interest me but it never installed and doesn't show up in the gallery as an option. I can't figure out how to get back to that plug-in choice section to try and download it again either :(

Although sometimes when i go to the HTC hub it shows up briefly saying 'failed to connect to server, try again later' but things still seem to load. Dunno if that's got anything to do with it. Hopefully they just pulled it and will have it available again soon :)

I think you cannot find it in app drawer as it is a plugin for HTC Sense UI and not a standalone application for Android.

Thats is something different.

Uploading to Picasa has always been there but the new plugin I think is to view your online albums and see pictures on your phone just like the new LinkedIn for HTC Sense plugin which enables you to see all of your friends and their profiles.

Are you sure it override your contacts with LinkedIn? For me what it does it actually good. I choose to see LinkedIn contacts when I open "Contacts" which you can switch off.

It links existing contacts you have in your phone with LinkedIn contacts but for me it didnt override anything!

If you mean it override your contacts, just unlink them and don't link any but still you can see all LinkedIn contacts.

While I was in LinkedIn, I added some new people to my network. By the time they'd responded, I could no longer sync with my LinkedIn account. Force close! :(
