Well the hard way would be to modify or the framework.res or whaterver exact filename is. There are long guides posted around and it's needed to flash the rom with the modifided framework.res I believe or else with root access using adb copy it to the system folders. Anyway honestly can't be F**ked with that :rolleyes:

The easy way is just install a theme with it already done. I like AuraxTSence theme.It's got a nice transparent status bar and notification bar as well as lock screen. Follow this link. Just make sure you download the one that's been modified to work for Desire HD.

If you don't know how to install it you just copy the .apk file over to your sd card and use a file manager like Astro to install the theme just like any app.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Wuzz3r:
^Easier still, you can download the XDA app off of the market, find the skins thread and download and install from there.

Use UOT dude.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
I tried that but transparency didn't work ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
For transparency modding framework-res or using skins is not enough since froyo. You need a modified services.jar

In order to acchieve it you decompile services.jar with smali baksmali, open StatusBarService.smali and look for:

.line 1531

const/4 v5, 0x2

replace it with:

.line 1531

const/4 v5, -0x3

Then compile and push back to system/framework

The faster way:

"Steal" the services.jar from my Revolution theme and enjoy - in any case you certainly need a transparent or semi transparent status_bar_background.png in framework-res. If you also need the top of the bar transparent also use a semi transparent statusbar_background.png

You can also use my TransparencyHackSense2.2.1 metamorph, which injects the png in your framework and the modded classes.dex in your services.jar - I added this time both png`s for top bar and background, will certainly only work on 2.2.1 Sense ROM`s

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] yahya.hamid:
Apologies for an incorrect posting earlier,

as always with new HTC phones, the mms pictures appear too small and tiny upon receipt. The problem lies with useragent not recognized by the operator.

Is there an application that makes u change the user agent for mms?

Is there a desire hd mms.apk available with user agent change?

Please help me since this is a waste of screen with tiny mms
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] yahya.hamid:

There is a eclair mms.apk avavilable but i dont know if that will work with the Sense launcher and froyo 2.2

I am on stock ROM. Really the mms size is pissing me off.

Any clues?
[Desire General] Chrissssssss:
I have 3 micro SD cards, the 4GB that came with the Desire, an 8GB which came with my Touch HD and a 6GB which I bought for my old Vario III. Will the speed of these cards make much difference to the running of the Desire, especially with apps on the SD card. Also is IO performance more important that transfer rates?

Would like to put a higher capacity card in the phone but not if it'll slow things down.
[Desire General] Chrissssssss:
Done some quick testing of the various cards and the 4GB card that comes with the Desire is a lot slower than the other two cards. Seems the 8GB is actually the fastest at transfer speeds and has the highest IOps so I'll swap it over for that one.
[Desire General] Chrissssssss:
Ok, well I transferred all the stuff to the other SD card and now my phone doesn't recognise any of the installed apps. Is it not as easy as transferring the files between the 2 cards?

Hi, can someone explain exactly what Cyanogen mods are all about? Are they the premium development and what makes them special? Sorry for such a simple question but I am relatively new to the Android scene :) Thanks.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcpfc:
I only had my Nexus s for 48 hours....I will have to build up to flashing a ROM, I am rooted though :) I wanted to know how the real terms performance is different when running Cyanogen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Cyanogen historically is the best of the best custom ROM with tons of extra, very useful features. Cyan on my nexus one is just awesome and brings so many extra things needed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazifyngers:
performace difference.....not much with the nexus s so far...I use it for the extra features. dropdown bar widgets, two slider lockscreen, incogneto mode in the browser, and other such tweaks. I have used it for so long that i forget what is different about it until i go back to a stock firmware....then i realize why i like it so much. but that's me. The nexus s is nice because it doesn't have another skin on it. i'm just not a fan of them. CM is essential for me on the incredible and my evo. i don't care how much people praise sense i just don't like it. i had a g1 then a nexus one.....sense was fun when it was called rosie and was released on the g1 as an alternate theme....even then it slowed things down.

edit: if anyone says they get 200 more points in quadrant benchmarks that isn't a real world performace increase. you can't feel 200 points....now the ext4 enhancements, those you can feel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcpfc:
Thank you for all your replies, very useful. I will be sure to try Cyanogen when I have the confidence to make the switch :)

[Fascinate General] TxMoose:
Howdy all,

I'm still on DI01, and lately I've been randomly losing all of my SMS history. Is this a common problem? Does anyone have any idea about why it is happening?

Thanks
[Fascinate General] iMissLayups:
I've had it happen randomly about 5 times since I've gotten the phone in October, running DI01. I would receive a text, and when I went to view it, it was the only one in my inbox. I never bothered to look up what caused it so I'm not sure. You're not alone though.
[Fascinate General] wilshyre:
Maybe your girlfriend (or wife) is deleting your messages because she's either spying on your messages and you're receiving something she doesn't like, or she's using your phone to text someone and then deleting the evidence.

I know, it's very unlikely that this is the case.. but since I am a very paranoid person and would probably consider the possibility if my messages were being randomly deleted, I thought maybe I could plant some seeds of doubt and paranoia for you as well.

You know.. the whole "misery loves company" thing.

You can use any ROM for flashing, just you need to come in Boot screen.

Name: AudiobookMark

I was frustrated by the lack of built-in support for mp3-based audiobooks so I wrote this app. It lets you load as many audiobooks as you have memory for. It remembers where you are in each file of each book (and of course, which file you are listening to for each book).

It has standard transport keys plus the ability to enter HH:MM:SS to skip directly to.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Is this a free app?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
Its a 0.99 app, with a free trial that basically let's you use it without limitation, but pops up a message box occasionally...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] elmstrom:
Can you add support for a sleep timer? So you need to shake the phone every 15 mins or it will pause the audio book.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
That sounds like a useful addition. Let me think through how best to implement it, and I'll try to add it in with "run under locked screen" update I'm working on...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] songokussm:
I would also really like this.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] tigerlocc:
Hey dbroome, this sounds like it has the potential to be an awesome app. I'm so used to the Mortplayer audiobook app on Android and really enjoy using it (great alternative to music btw).

So by mention of "remembers where you are" you mean bookmarks are automatically placed for us? I ask because a cool feature of the mortplayer app was the bookmark feature where you can tag certain spots on demand and go back to wherever you tagged. I hope you go far with this app, it really does sound promising.

The UI looks good too!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
I had not heard of Mortplayer, I'll have to check it out, though I don't have an Android device to be able to get a good look at it.

You are correct in that the app places the bookmark for you. It basically remembers where you were in each file.

How do you use the "tag different places in a file" type feature in your audiobook listening? I generally am just listening to novels, and don't have any real need to jump to various spots in the same file.

The reason I ask is that I'd like to implement features users would use, but don't want to overly complicate it with feature bloat.

As an update, I have implemented and am testing three new features. Once I make sure it is working as expected, I'll submit the update to the marketplace:

1) Configurable port on the loader (8001 might not be convenient for everyone. Should have thought of this before)

2) Run under locked screen. Now you can lock the screen to save battery power

3) Configureable sleep timer (with optional shake to reset).

I hope to submit it in the next day or so...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] directorfer:
Thanks / Volume / File Corruption

First I love the app. I have been writing down my numbers until this app came along. Thank you dbroome.

Second, I noticed the volume is weaker than the default music player; has any one else notice this?

Third, I received a file corruption error message saying it couldn't determine the file lengths and displays all .MP3s as being 00:00:00 in running time. The files didn't play, but after a reboot they started too but still display the zero length; anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] SeanX:
Also needs skip forward/skip back button that just goes 30 sec back/fprward. The current skip to a location is not usable when driving.

Bonus points for a ui redesign with bigger buttons.

Additional bonus points for a fast play (i.e. play back at 150% speed with no pitch shift).

For me to purchase, I need:

Play under lock screen

Uploader program to work (changing ports might help)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
In order to determine the length of the mp3, the player has to actually open the file and then close it. The Zune software interferes with the player opening the file after upload, and as such you have to unplug the phone from the computer after uploading before closing the "I'm done" pop up box. I'm guessing that the 0-length issue might have been due to that. Try deleting that book and re-loading it to the phone, making sure to unplug the phone before continuing (or, alternatively, using the SDK's WPConnect.exe which doesn't interfere with the media being opened).

It might be useful to add a "determine durations" type button on the load screen that would let you try to determine them again at a later time instead of re-loading them. What do you think?

30 second skip could definitely be useful. I'll see if I can find a good way to incorporate it in the next update.

I really want fast play as well. Unfortunately the MediaElement player I have to use to be able to set positions doesn't support it. I'll definitely be watching the updates as they come out for supporting that.

I'm dreadful at UI stuff, but I have a friend who I can probably rope into giving it some love.

Play under lock and the configureable port are in the next update, which I will finish testing and submit tonight...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] SeanX:
Cool. Bought it as an encourgement.

For UI ideas look at audiobook player 2. It is much easier to use while driving.

Suggestions

Your [skip to a time] section shouldn't be on the main page, but off a toolbar option.

Your play/pause button should swap between play/pause depending on state rather than changing the background colour.

Use images rather than text in the buttons [|<] [<<] etc
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
v1.1 has been approved and should show up in the marketplace shortly. This adds a sleep timer (with optional shake to reset), play under lock, and configureable port on the loader and phone.

Next update will hopefully be a ui re-do, possibly adding the "skip xx seconds" idea.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] directorfer:
Downloaded the update for the app, re-uploaded the audio book, followed instructions on the pop up (after upload completed) and the software recognized the full lengths. Very nice! Thanks dbroome!! The mp3s seem to have uploaded a little quicker too or is it this just me?

FYI, using a colon within the name of a book crashes the app (at least it does for me).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
Good find. I'll correct that.

Waiting on a friend with some design skills. If he doesn't come back to me soon, I'll go looking for free images to include on the buttons and do a general usability re-skin of the ui...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Goatmaster:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
Thanks!

The website had a temporary issue and should be resolved.

I'm looking into the lower volume and should have at least an answer soon if not a fix...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] MyRho:
it's a very nice little app and I'm using it now for a few weeks.

But I've found when you have to many audiobooks or when the aaudio-files are very big (about 6 MB's) the program can't determine the length of the audio-files any longer...

Maybe we can get an update for that?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
The only time I have been able to load an audio file the program could not determine the length of was when I forgot to unplug the phone from the Zune software when prompted. I have tested files up to 50 mb. Of course, it could be file dependent. Did the file play even after the length failed to update?

Fortunately I am almost done with the next update that includes code to re-check for the length of files if it fails the first time. I need to finish the "Load from DropBox" functionality that I am implementing and then I can submit it. Hopefully this week!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] MyRho:
Yes - I can start the player and I can play the file even when it says the length is 00:00:00.

This morning I've transferred some 300 MB audiobook-files to my HD7. After that I disconnected the device and it started "determining length of..." and it immediately started playing the first file (10.7 MBs) but even after 20 minutes it just couldn't find the length of the first audio-file so I stopped the program.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
I think I have this worked out. As soon as I finish the Drop Box support for loading books, I'l submit the update...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
The update has been approved and is in the marketplace. 1.2 contains:

1) Load from your Dropbox account

2) Better determining of file length if initial determination fails due to being connected to the Zune software

3) UI redesign to make it easier to press the buttons when not looking at the screen.

4) Volume control for quieter audiobooks

5) Skip back or forward (with configureable times, 30 secs default).

Thanks to everyone who has downloaded!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Does the sandboxed nature of WP7 prevent you from accessing MP3's from Zune? I have MP3's on my phone already.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
Yes and no. If your app plays the mp3's loaded via Zune, it has to use one type of built in mp3 player. That mp3 player does not support setting the current position in the file, so you would have to start from the beginning each time.

If you use the built in mp3 player that DOES support setting the position (its called a "media element", you have to load files from the storage local to your app, and therefore the annoying methods of loading mp3's into the app instead of just using the Zune software.

I have been unable to find a way of copying files from your regular mp3 library into local storage as well. I'm holding out hope that a future update will open things up just a little bit...

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dbroome:
Ironically, I have been working on this this week after setting it aside for quite some time. Finally getting it updated to run with a background audio agent so you can close the app and still listen to the book.
