HTC Diamond Taskbar Question

Ok i have a sprint diamond upgraded to new sprint rom and i just hate the little lines with the arrow that pulls down to show you to close programs or the wrench.
HOW the heck do you get ride of it?
before the update i downloaded Twosen taskbar and got ride of it but since i upgraded to the new updated rom its back even though i loaded a custom taskbar.
anyone?

Just go to settings -> task manager -> button and then uncheck the last checkbox.
What is the problem with this feature? I don't see the point actually...

thanks got it, there is nothing wrong with it just a preference that i would like it to be gone is all
again thank you

HTC_IME for Nexus One [Pixelated Version]

http://drop.io/p12auxn#
I'm not 100% sure this is it since I don't have my Nexus One yet so I need someone willing to test.
I found it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFh9RKsN6w&feature=player_embedded

This is the same one that's pixelated on the Nexus One. Also, doesn't stretch the full screen in landscape mode.

It is still the pixelated version. That wouldn't even bother me that much if the correction bar on the top fit on the screen and wasn't horribly warped.

Damn sorry then. The one in the video looks good though.

do you need to be rooted for this? Because I tried it using an appinstaller. It shows up in the clicker, but when I create new messages, it reverts back to the stock google keyboard.

You have to go into the settings and enable it, then when you're in a message box click the box and hold, then select "input method". You can alternate between the 2.

haha ya i forgot to do the "hold" part in the message box. thanks!
pixelated...but at least i don't have to switch back n forth for numbers and punctuations. can't wait for the non-pixelated version w/ microphone key =)

We'll need a high-res 2.1 SenseUI device to come out - probably need to wait for a Bravo leak.

Yep, works fine on N1 running MCR1.1 but pixelated. Will have to live with that for a while as it still beats the hell out of the standard Android keyboard...

Is the file linked from youtube the same as this file?

So I emailed HTC to find out if they will update the htc_ime.apk so that it will work on the nexus or look properly I should say. I am currently waiting for a response... let you guys know when I get a reply. I will post it.

Ha good luck with that. They won't update it until they release a phone with the Hi-Res Sense UI.
Most likely we'll have to wait until a bravo dump is leaked or another sense UI device w/ a hi res screen's dump is leaked.

I'm running HTC_IME on the N1.... its great to have it back, only complaint is the lack of the dedicated 'microphone' key thats in the default keyboard... so AFAIK once you install HTC_IME you can NOT dictate text messages and the like

Does anyone know how to edit the dictionary for htc ime?

I don't know about editing words but you can erase it by going into your settings > applications > keyboard > clear data.

I installed this and it works great but my only issue-request would be to add more languages. The option is there, when you go to settings from inside the keyboard, but unfortunately, only english is available.
In the past, people have made language packs...could someone do on for this? pleeeeeeeease?
Thanks,
Lou

I used to change com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml file to enable dual language on my htc ime. I was wondering if this can be changed in the apk before installing. I dont want to root my nexus.
Thanks

Anyone have any idea what that task killer widget is he uses in the video? Basically its sitting on the homescreen and kills the tasks with one click, no need to open an app...

Move Slider to the bottom of the window?

Hey guys, is there a cab to move the lock screen to the bottom of the screen instead of the top?
I tried to install swipe to unlock, but when i unlocked it with this app, it went back to the lock screen.
So i was wondering of there was a stand alone cab for this?
Thanks guys

Working great on my HD2. Cheers

Hi, very nice, but is there a slider which does not work only the horizontal way?
I think it would be a lot better if the slider was some sort of an arc which follows the natural movement of the right (or left) hands thumb!?
Is there something available?

Great app!
Works fine with my HTC HD2.
Thanks a lot, finally I can answer my phone onehanded!

thanks! i've tried and it works so far! many thanks!

Its working on my HD2 (Singapore SingTel set)... Thanks!!!

I'm not using swipe to unlock, is there a version where I can just get the lock button to the bottom but standby button retains locking functionality?
Edit: Ignore me, Thought I couldn't lock anymore. =p

I also got some Lockscreen at the Bottom with a cab for the original one.

AFAIK, if it's a cab, it can be uninstalled. I installed the Center slider cab. The other one seems to be to revert back tot he original Leo. If uninstalling doesn't fix things, install that original cab.

setting ringtone from storage card
y is it i cant set a file i have saved in my storage card as a ringtone.....ring tones can only b set to the default tones except u save the file in the phones memory and that slows down the phones processor....plssss is there any smart person that canhelp me with this

LOL!!!
No it don't mate. It doesn't do that at all. Files do not slow down "the phones processor"
Anyway, save them in the "my documents" folder on the storage card. That should work. If it don't, save them on the phone in "my documents". It REALLY doesn't have a detrimental effect on the phone's performance at all.

Just installed the .cab, but nothing happens? Are you ameant to be doing anything else to change it?
Edit: Seems like I needed to restart it, as it worked when I turned it back on. Didn't like it so reinstalled the orginal one.

TaskOS, a powerfull task manager.

VIDEO HERE
NEW COOL VIDEO HERE. Click this link.
Hi there, i just want to have feedback on my TaskOS app.
This application show to the users all the apps he opened and never closed. ( leave applications with HOME key and it will appear. Leave with back key and won't appear.)
The user can scroll between all these apps and launch one by clicking on it or kill it by dragging to the top ( like Palm PRE)
That's a beta, but all the mains features are there.
What do you think of it.
PS: i am looking for ROM developpers that would be able to launch it by long click on the "home" button or trackball/other.
Features
* customizable icon size
* wave effect ( i think i'll remove it)
* confirm killing app or not
* notification to launch easily ( looking for people who know ho to integrate this with long press on home button - trackball)
* more to come...
Will come
* theming the bar
* ignore apps by moving icon to the bottom
Screenshots:

Looks nice but why doesn't it show as many apps as say taskiller?
I'm using a Nexus One btw

For what version of Android is this? Can I run this on my 1.5 device with Sense?

This version is Android 2.1 on my hero. But yes of course, you can use it on a 1,5 device with sense!

nice thought, i like it!
I'm running 1.6 stock and unfortunately it doesn't show up when
i leave any app with home-key, but i find the idea of holding
home-key pressed in order to show up really nice!
...and yeah, i stopped using *press-here-to-kill-all-tasks*

I kinda like it
some suggestions:
- gestures (like from down to up to open it)
- Lock the slide up feature while scrolling
- Maybe previews of apps (would require lots of mem somehow)?
- click anywhere other than the switcher to close the switcher
- don't display apps twice
BTW: what about making an app launcher like the wave launcher from webOS? shouldnt be too hard and very useful

I like the idea of a Pre app launcher, but I want to say something related to memory may bog things down a little bit.

alright. Nevermind the thumbnails by gestures i mean like a system one so you drag up from the bottom of the screen to open taskOS but i guess that isn't possible unfortunately... maybe use a longpress menu to open it? would be great if a different solution was possible to open the switcher up

see news here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5404622#post5404622 to launch with Home key, but i guess i won't have answers.
I think Google should allow users to make custom shortcuts by clicking on buttons!

Ignore function does not work on some screen sizes!!!!
I'll have a look thursday! Be patient

Could you possible add a memory counter at like the corner somewhere to show how much free ram we have? Also, any way to make this look/work a bit more like the WebOS cards if possible?
As for resolution I notice you have a Hero, so I take it you made the res for Hero(my Eris has the same res as the Hero)?

This isn't entirely true.
Some apps need to be force killed.
Android takes care of this only when the situation is really dire.
Why waste the valuable RAM?
Let's say you use App "X" once a day, but it's a resource (memory + cpu) hungry app, like Maps and derivatives.
Now, this is an app which will figure in the active list, but some of them like remaining in the background. Have 5 of those, and your system will work at a crawl.
Now try killing that app. You can really feel the difference, especially if you're using 7201A based handsets (that's 528Mhz).
Take a look at com.eolwral.osmonitor.
IMO, the best task manager around. And it's free (as well as ad-free).
why not mail the author and share some ideas?
You do have a innovative approach to task management (ui-wise).

i don't know if anyone has the same problems, but since last update i keep getting force closes when trying to kill an app!
edit: dis- and reenabling kill popup fixed the problem. weird.

Thank for the feedback!
You are the only one people that I heard having this problem... Really strange but i am glad that Taskos work again!
Next time, send me the logcat so i will be able to correct the bug!

Yeah, it would be nice if we could use TaskOS by holding home... The normal Android switcher is so useless.

very nice app ... will be essential if you find a way to use as task switcher (longpress home)
could you maybe add the option to hide statusbar icon?
also kinetic scrolling would be very welcome

Inertia in scrolling: seem to be so hard to implement.... You will have to wait.
Long press home: Developpers don't have access to this! I will investigate with Custom ROM developers. Imagine all apps can acces home button and you press it!
Ability to remove statusbar icon: will be done in next update.
I think that I left a bug in previous update. Nobody told me and i just corrected this evening. Sorry for the inconveniance!

Short presentation video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9GUlAf5y8k

So does this software now have the ability to load via the home button?

If it's Stock Un-rooted it will not have it. Do you want a Task Manager, or a Task Killer? I would stay away from Task Killers. They do way more harm than good.

From home you go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Running services...
If there's anything you want to kill just select it and pick "Stop". That's the android task killer AFAIK.
