There's a similar kb several others have advocated called SlideIT (in the market) but it has a really annoying autocorrect that changes what you're writing to something from it's limited dictionary.

Several others have loved it so it might be worth a try for you.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
I signed up for the beta, but I keep getting the message that downloadable apks aren't supported. :(
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
You need to uncheck and recheck allow downloaded apks in nook color tools. It's checked by default but like the allow compatibility mode button you have to repeatedly click it for it to actually work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
Press the button repeatedly to make it happy? So like most women I know? Will definitely try that when I get home. Thumb typing is cool, but Swype is cooler.

Found the solution!

It was by matlacki, basically just reflash stock ruu 1.32, re-root and restore your nanadroid and it's all good.

I have done the same and now my proximity sensor is working again when restored from my CM7 nanadroid.

This doesnt make any sense?!

==================================================

Btw i am using build 30

For those who having this proximity sensor issue like myself , I done a test.

Go to setting > CyanogenMod setting >display > automatic backlight > > tick use custom > edit other levels.

For me I can see my sensor functioning will. 7 for total darkness and 59 for din light and 190+ for lamp.

Now try to make a call and watch the screen go off. You can't on it back but there's still ringing tone.

I used my nexus one flash to shine on the sensor and my screen turned back on.

Now go back to the edit other lvl notice that the light sensor doesn't response to the different brightness.

A reboot will fix the problem but if there's s phone call,this bug starts again. Try it!!!

And share your results. If there's ppl with the same as mine, it might be a cm7 bug and not s proximity sensor failure
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Its not a CM7 bug. I have never had the proximity sensor problem on any ROM, be it stock or otherwise.

I'm also using build 30 and no proximity sensor problem to report.
[Desire HD General] mgear356:
i want to believe its not a CM7 bug.

For the past 2 weeks when I was using various CM7 builds, I do not have any proximity issues as described by other users till yesterday, it just popped up.

Nandroid to my old backup (which has no such the problem), and problem still persist.
[Desire HD General] mgear356:
flashed back to RUU 1.32 rom and the sensor is working in sense rom.

So now i cant even send back for a replacement.
[Desire HD General] mgear356:

[Desire HD General] Iachimo:
This problem started yesterday evening for me. 5days of CM7 without issues and now this dealbreaker. Need to pull battery after end of a call. :(
[Desire HD General] mgear356:
try flashing 1.32 RUU and redo the whole rooting again > and back to CM7.

seems unreal but it really did solve my problem..
[Desire HD General] Numsefis:
Okay...

I'm having the same problem, i just checked it with the program "Sensorlist" which gives me info about the proximity sensor....

With CM7 it doesn't work, but with stock rooted ROM it works fine...

So it must be a problem with the CM7 software....

Has anyone solved the problem, so it doesn't come back?
[Desire HD General] McKebapp:
Solved my Problem, too.

And I guess I've found the reason for the Problem.

Within the last Days, I've played around a little with the ambient light sensor settings. Both, system side and also with the additional cyanogen settings.

Why do I come to that conclusion?

Well, I made a Backup of all my Apps and Settings via TitaniumBackup.

Then I:

- Wiped my phone via CW + Full-Wipe.zip

- Flashed this 1.72 via CW http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884327. Tested it = everything fine.

- Wiped again + clean installed PNK_AB CM7. Testet it = everything fine.

- Restored my Apps + Settings. Failure retuned after restart.

Now I was sure, it is Software related.

- So I wiped the data partition via CW and restarted. Everything fine again. Even after Reboot.

- Time to restore Apps + Settings, but this time without the settings from the Cyanogen Apps/Settings, Debug App and SpareParts. Everything fine in first, but the problem retourned after reboot.

- So again: wiping data = everything fine. Rebooted about five times, te be sure. Everything fine.

- Restored Apps + Settings: without: Cyanogen Apps/Settings, Debug App, SpareParts AND SystemSettings.

Voila: The Problem was away and didn't even come back after several reboots.

So my conclusion:

CM7 ambient light settings and system ambient light settings mess each other up. Dunno, which is causing the problem, but it is solved for me, yet.

What's your Opinion guys?
[Desire HD General] leppie:
My findings (with input from Apache14):

- The proximity issue only affects those with a non-Sharp LCD.

- The kernel source code released by HTC does not contain the correct code to handle this device. I am still looking for solutions.

- On the 1.32 kernel, when proximity is required, some polling mechanism is activated. I assume this is needed as there is no Interrupt hooked up on a hardware level on this LCD/chip (same sensor uC however).

- There is no source code for this. Not in HTC released kernel source or CM or AOSP.

Currently I am looking at either:

- Getting the latest source code for the DHD kernel which HTC has failed to release. The source code corresponds to some RUU older than 1.32.

or

- Hacking the kernel to do the same polling as present in the 1.32 kernel binaries.
[Desire HD General] Numsefis:
how can you remove these parts from the Rom? "the Cyanogen Apps/Settings, Debug App and SpareParts. "?
[Desire HD General] McKebapp:
Didn't remove them from the ROM.

I simply unticked them while/before restoring my FullBackup with TitaniumBackup.
[Desire HD General] leppie:
For those that cant get proximity sensor to work on custom kernel/ROMS, try the following (no root required):

echo '0x50530b0c 0x140b0b0c' > /sys/devices/virtual/optical_sensors/proximity/ps_kadc

This will adjust the calibration values. The 0b part is the 'low tide' aka FAR start and 0c is the 'high tide' aka NEAR start.

IOW, values below FAR start is FAR, and values above NEAR start is NEAR.

Tested this on latest Buzz (Apache14) kernel.

Need to somehow make this persistent, and make sure it does not get reset during normal operation.

Stay tuned :)

Update: Still thinking of how to apply this at boot, maybe 'init.d' ? Also havent been reset during normal operation.
[Desire HD General] assal:

[Desire HD General] chriss66:
I had this problem, wile on CM6, started after I installed ADW EX. Used to use launcher pro, but realy liked the transisions in ex, so started using that, and got this problem. Updated to CM7, stil had the problem, no matter rom version. Went back to launcher pro, and now it works like normal. Thinking ther might be something with the launcher, and mabye a hardwere thing in some phones.

I am now on nihtly CM7 34, I think, and no problem.

So for those having this prob, try to switch to another launcher, and reboot a couple of times.

Hope this helps:)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramma2:
I've spent some time on another area in this forum, as an owner of an HTC Touch Pro 2, running WinMo and booting into Andriod from there. On that side of the world all I had to figure out was if I wanted a cab installer or a rar'd installation, and how to work up a startup.txt file.

Quite the different ball game over here.

My new phone comes in the mail tomorrow and I've spent the last few days digging through this place, google, wikis, all over trying to absorb some of this info. Here's what I think I know so far, I would appreciate your knowledge and tell me if I'm on the right track.

1. First I will want to root my phone with unrevoked3, then do a nandroid backup, which I believe is like a backup image of my current setup that I can fall back to if I have issues.

2. Next I would do an unrevokedForever which is like a full and permanent root, and sets my phone to S-OFF to allow for potentially disastrous things to happen.

3. Third step is I may or may not want to update the radio, which may make connections, call quality, and download speeds better or may make them worse.

[Q] - Do some roms require a certain version of radio firmware?

4. Radio updated or not, I would choose which rom I want to run. Lots of choices, seems like a few good standouts for a new user to learn the ropes with.

5. With a rom loaded, I may or may not want to update the kernel to something other than what was released with the rom package.

[Q] - From what I read, it looks like people run kernels from different developers, not necessarily from the dev(s) of the full rom, correct?

I hope I'm off to a good start. Any tips you can send my way is much appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Sounds good to me. You got the steps down.

And yea kernels are usually not by the rom dev. Just make sure your using a sense rom with a sense kernel or aosp rom with aosp kernel.

Answers/responses in red below

Recommend backing up the SD card to the PC every 6 weeks or whatever frequency seems right to you. Why? SD cards fail, and when they do, you have a quasi-recent backup of your card.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Torref7:
I am currently with T-mobile, due to having bad credit I can't switch over to ATT which sucks. So I was wondering if anyone knew if this phone was going to be able to be unlocked because I really want to get it as soon as it comes out and use it on T-mobile. T-mobile phones suck and I've fallen in love with the Inspire 4g.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aridon:
It will only work on edge on tmobile but I'm sure there will be a way to unlock it soon after release.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Really? T-mobile has the G2. That thing is sweet. They also have the MT4G, which is a mean CM7 machine.

I think both of those are as good as the Inspire, if not better for my purposes. But hey, the Inspire/DHD/Ace/Spade is a solid device that will surely be a winner.

Yes, I think it will be very easy to unlock the Inspire for use on other networks if that's what you want to do. As mentioned, it would yield edge-only data on T-Mobile.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Torref7:
The G2 is ok but all my friends have it so I want something different. Plus I like the 4.3 inch screen, I'm tired of this little screen on the MT3G, time for me to finally upgrade.

Removing the SD card and running SOC 1.5.5 was the answer for me. 1.5.5 didn't work until the SD card was removed. It is possible that 1.6.5 would work without the SD card, but I'm not unrooting my phone to test.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Assuming you're not rooted, you can boot into a custom recovery without unlocking anything and use that to do a backup and then have that. Keep in mind, this method won't root you and when restored will remove your root but it will not relock the bootloader if that is already unlocked.

...and I've verified that the custom kernel was installed by going into About Phone. Is there anything else I have to do for the new kernel's advatanges to, well, take effect? I took off SetCPU since in the dev forum they were saying that the kernel itself will do what SetCPU did.

Sorry for the newb question. I've just rooted my phone and started researching a bit and wanted to make sure I didn't mess up or leave something out. The actual visual part of the phone looks the EXACT same as before I put the new kernel in.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildland:
I'd recommend you just use your phone like normal for a few days - if your phone is anything like mine, you'll see marked improvement in your battery life. The other day, with light use, I still had 30% remaining after 25 hours unplugged (without bump charging)... impressive!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.ton:
I was in the same position a week ago. I installed Lou's #8 on my stock rom and it seemed to drain my battery faster. But I let it drain until it shut off and then charged my phone overnight. Turned it back on, and guess what? My battery indicator was stuck at 100% for like an hour. I thought it was a glitch, but it wasn't. That day, I had a 21 hour uptime... before I installed it, I could barely get more than 4 hours before having to plug in.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VrikkGWJ:
Does it matter when I allow my phone to discharge the battery completely? I will have to keep it charged and plugged in tonight because it's also my alarm to wake up to, but I'll have the battery dissipating all day tomorrow until it hopefully dies.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.ton:
I don't think it matters. Mine conveniently died just when I was heading to bed that night. I do use it as my alarm as well. Thankfully, it was a weekend night. :P
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VrikkGWJ:
Update: Running it today, haven't seen much change yet (but it's only the first day). However, how can I check to see what my battery usage is (I know you can check in "About Phone" but is there a numeral amount that would tell you guys something of significance)? Therefore if I posted something like that here people could tell me, "That really sucks, it's not working for you", or "Hey, working fine!"

Also, where I sit at work doesn't have that great of a cell reception, meaning maybe one bar if I'm lucky. Would having no cell reception drain the battery so much that it's almost dead by the end of the work day?

Would turning my wifi ON help the battery usage reduce some because the phone wouldn't constantly be searching for 3G?

Thanks again for everyone's help so far!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Wifi uses a ton less battery over 3g and low cell reception kills battery fast. Just let the kernel do its thing also letting the phone die is a bad idea. Our batteries aren't designed to ever fully die.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildland:
There are so many variables, I don't think there's any given number or threshold which will make us say "That really sucks, it's not working for you" :p...

I've found that lack of cell service is the number one thing that will kill my battery regardless of kernel etc. I get between zero and one bars of (roaming) 1x at my house and if I set my phone somewhere that blocks the signal just a bit more, it can kill my batt. a lot faster. If your phone is using data throughout the day and you have a wifi signal available, I'd definitely experiment with leaving wifi on all day - that's what I do at home to have any data connectivity worth using. Using wifi like this doesn't seem to be too big a hit on my battery.

Also experiment with your phone to see if you can find a location or orientation which gives you a better phone signal - go to Settings -> About Phone -> Status and scroll down to see "Signal strength", this will be a number expressed as -dBm where the higher magnitude of the number (ie. -99 is a higher magnitude than -80) the worse your signal is. Keep in mind that this scale is logrithmic, so a change of magnitude of a few dBm indicates a fairly large signal strength change... So if setting the phone on the right side of your desk gives you -85 dBm and setting it to the left gives you -95 dBm, your battery will die faster with the phone set to the left... Keeping the phone in your pocket can really knock the signal strength down - experiment with the phone lying on your desk, check the signal strength and then cup your hands around the "bottom" end of the phone, covering the optical track ball and the buttons, etc... In my experience, just covering this antenna area like this drops my signal by 5 dBm or more.

One more thing which it sounds like you might be aware of already is that people report that due to small differences in hardware, these kernels don't work the same for different phones, so maybe trying a different one of Lou's kernels (or a different developers altogether) might work better for you (although trying each of the myriad kernels available sure sounds daunting to me). Good luck!
