[Q] HTC Desire HD gingerbread update help - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys. This is my first post in the forum and I am really sorry if you answered it before but after a big search I couldn't find the answer. I updated my HTC Desire HD yesterday and it is working fine. However before the update I watched this video youtube/watch?v=C5TR_5OERFY&feature=fvwrel and I loved it. After the update I was disappointed because my phone wasn't like this.
Can anyone help me telling me how I can make my phone look like the one on the video? I mean all this 3d and everything?
Thank you!
P.S. www and com are missing because i am not allowed to post links before 8 posts

Hi

Why are the keyboard, dialer, menu and notification colours and many many more things the same as the Nexus S?
Any ideas?

looks like ADW launcher. its a home replacement app, download in the market

Youtube Widget for T-mobile HD2

Hi,
I've used the search feature but not found much to help.
I've just got hold of a HD2 on T-mobile but it looks as though they've removed the youtube app from the phone.
Any ideas how I can get it back or get another youtube widget for the phone?
Thanks
I second that! Can anyone strip it from the original ROM?
Ever tried google?
Here you go. Try if it works for you:

You sir, are a real star thank you so much. this is exactly the version I wanted, as the m.youtube/app version is very basic apart from the selection screen scrolling which is cool.

Good man
Thanks for the download link. I have been wondering how I could get the app on my phone. One thing though, when you into data services and try to login to the YouTube app it's just saying "connection error"
I've tried WiFi and through TMOB, both connections say the same.. Any idea's? I would like to login so I can see all my subscriptions etc.
you need to phone t-mobile customer services. they treat youtube as an over-18 website and is hence restricted. phone them up and request they enable access - i think theyll ask your date of birth, if u 18 or over, then they will enable access.
That's mad. Surely they know I'm over 18, I just upgraded my contract with them when you have to over 18 for...
That's for the tip.
Just logged on to my T-mobile account and content log is removed.
I installed this on my tmobile (UK) HD2 and it stopped videos from playing! When I uninstalled it, they started working again. Any ideas how to fix this?

gents gents relax.what you need to do is go to m.google.com/youtube by using the internet explorer on your phone (will not work with opera or skyfire). after installation you should now have the working youtube app and the ability to watch your mp4s via the sense video player
alternatively you can update to a new official or cooked rom via hspl. I was like you guys until a few weeks ago and trust me once I started flashing my phone I've never looked back

Awesome G-sensor animated lock application

Can anyone port this to the HD2 ????????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdbQAnPN4jU
wow this looks awesome !
Yet another toy... if you like this kind of fetish get an iPhone. It is the best in that area. Do not forget what PPC means.
You just can download it here: *CLICK*
Tried it and it does not work. Getting an error when I want to apply anything in settings...
Yes this looks great ,but how to download it? on developers site there is no download link ...
Ups got it
click on the title of the post.. then it will forward to the download
Hmm doesnt work.Error.....
This is what the site says about S'Skin Lock
S’Skin Lock Application has 1 setting menu to set locking time and screen backlight.
Currently they are working on Samsung Omnia only, I have tested them on HTC HD2 too but they aren’t running. If any of our readers got them to work on their devices let us know.
it's on
http://www.wmskins.com/blog/sskin-lock-new-animated-lockscreen-application-for-windows-mobiles
must have hardware detection inside, even on samsung it only work on certain model.
i would like to have that 2
i checked and it requires the flashlite_mmi.dll
it is available in Omnia2 dump OS.nb.
Dont know if it uses any more sensors from Omnia. I would like also to use this one on HD2. Any more advance ppl could help maybe?
Deleted.......
has anyone contacted the developers regarding a htc compatible version?
We can try to install the adobe flash lite 2.1. Now I can swtich on the setting button in the startMeun. But the srceen lock still can't run. >_<
NoNe said:
Whether I have sent an e-mail having asked there will be a support of other phones. I look forward to hearing. And program YellowMan, Butterfly I have started on the HD2 but G-sensor does not work in the program.
But the blocking picture is displayed also an unblocking works correctly. In Butterfly the butterfly flies at a touch to the screen as is shown in video, but the back background is static.

Which steps have u taken to make it work till now?
Maybe we could trick/hack the G-Sensor or smth.
I really don't see anything impressive in that. Actually useless to me. Just as a a guy at the begining of post said: Iphone like fetish... Nice, but useless.

Why can't we have something nice, even if it's useless?!
I completely understand: The iphone is a toy, the HD2 is a powerful device with endless productivity possibilities... But why does that have to mean that the opposite is also true - Only the iphone can have cool toys? Never understood that argument...

Got mine and love it to bits. Amazing for the price.
Would like a custom rom more than rooting but rooting would be good too Something to clear up the programs and stuff to make the most of the 1.5ghz dual core.

Hi,
I have a zoostorm 3305 that I want to get an external 3g dongle working on. After googling I believe i need to root it first, but I'm new to rooting, and not sure what software/drivers i need and where to get them. I would love some help if you have any on offer.
Cheers
Andychat..
how good are these ?
speed in general
Speed of keyboard popping up when in chrome ?
viewing angles (I totally hate poor viewing angles)
updates
I am more than happy with the speed. Keyboard delay pop-up can sometimes be slow.(its usually when emails are being synced). I improved the touchscreen response by using an app to recalibrate it. I think its hindered by the supplied screen protector.
The only thing I can't do is mobile 3g internet. I think I need to root.
I'm. Awaiting I bit of help from the guru's on this forum.
Cheers

and the viewing angles ?
I don't think they are bad. I don't really watch TV or movies on it. It doesn't seem any worse than my Samsung so phone.
Not sure if this helps you much. I would recommend one if you don't have the finances for the Samsung Tablets or the ipads.

sounds good
I did have the Gemini JoyTab 9.7 Duo
I RMA'd it cause as soon as you tilted it slightly right the whole right side washed out
it was so bad that even flat direct ahead you could see the start of the right side polarize wash out with what must be only a few degrees off centre
fine all 3 others ways, I though mine my have been faulty till I went in to a staples and checked their display model, exact same issue.

I sent you a PM via YouTube (Sorry), couldn't post on here for some reason but sorted now.
I have never rooted Android (very new to it) and can't find anything solid about rooting Zoostorm Playtab 10" Tablet. I really don't want to brick it.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me as it sounds like you have rooted the Playtab successfully?
Do you have any links to or name of the guide / firmware you used for the root?
Has the root improved the overall performance of you Zoostorm Playtab as mine can often freeze or delay mid use with the stock firmware?
Cheers mate.

I'm new to Tablets so not sure how useful this can be because i havn't used many others but...
speed in general is quite good however it seemed to run faster when it was new and "fresh" but now having since installed more apps, it seems to temporarily freeze mid-use e.g. going through settings tabs, launching apps etc. I often get a "not responding" message and choice to wait or quit. Waiting seems to work but as this is happening more and more, it's a concern and hence why i'm looking to root.
There is sometimes a 1 or 2 sec delay with keyboard popping up (not sure in Chrome, i'm talking general use). Its not a problem for me.
Viewing angles are reasonable to me but you can see it wash out when looking from the sides but I tend to look at it straight on anyway.
To be honest you get what you pay for (currently £114-£120 on Amazon UK / eBuyer) and it's not bad at all, especially if I can figure this freeze issue.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if you sorted it but these tablets are pretty unbrickable as are most RK3066 based tablets, I've done more wipes & reflashes on this tablet than I care to remember.
You can try to flash the original ROM from here - http://downloads.zoostorm.com/drivers/android/PlayTab/
I did manage to flash a build of CyanogenMod 10 based on another RK3066 tablet on this tablet but it wasn't really what you would call stable, it had screen rotation bugs, random reboots plus Wifi wasn't working at all & as I'm not a developer I soon reverted back to stock, for the most part the tablet runs pretty well with it's stock ROM, 3G works well with the PPP Widget app etc.
It was either this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/39750-romgenerickmod-jb41cwmzip-for-pipo-u1max-m11/
Or this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41777-romcyanogen-10-for-rk3066-wip/
I'm just glad it has a working CWM Recovery & is easy to root

I'm really digging mine too. Most times when opening Dolphin browser or other browsers it will hang for 5-8 secs sometimes. You guys get that? only think that pees me off really.
If we could get it a tad snappier, would be great too!
How do I get flash on this thing?
I've also got the freezing issue occasionally, not sure what causes that.
My main issue at the moment is I can't use "OpenVPN for Android". It claims it can't access /dev/tun so it doesn't work (ticking the box to fix this in CM doesn't work as it's not rooted). Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Freezing is caused by software trying to access root imho. Avoid software that needs root access.

Sense 5 or 6 Keyboard for non HTC devices

Hello,
I was looking for the keyboard (which is called HTC IME, I suppose) for non HTC devices. I know someone has ported Sense 3.5's keyboard before so I think it's doable.
I've tried my best in searching the forum and internet but I couldn't find anything. HTC released the app, yes, but only for HTC devices.
Is there anywhere for someone to guide me to install the least sense's keyboard, if it's impossible is there any keyboard that looks alike it?
Thanks.
It's on Google Play

Thank you for your response, although I could install it, I get the error this app is incompatible with you device when I hit the keyboard settings in the settings tab. So I guess this was for only HTC. Thanks though! =)
Up up?
Seems it's not possible. It's only compatible with HTC devices, so you're out of luck.

would it be really hard to port it? I mean it's just a keyboard.
Not sure to be honest. Most HTC software relies on the HTC framework, which is very difficult to port, and just not worth it. Otherwise you'd see Sense ports on a lot of non-HTC devices.
bummer, thanks for trying and responding though. =)
Even though I couldn't find any original sense keyboard, I found one that looks just like it, and maybe, even better.

Q:Live focus and flash

Hi everyone
I got the s9 plus and I found that on the live focus more I can't use the flash :/
So the pictures just blurred and no sharp at all except really good condition of light.
In the iPhone I can do it...it kind of sad.
I search over google and sea and found some answers but none of them really make sense and give a solution or real answer
I hope there is some mod or app that can do that.
Thanks.
Sorry..wrong forum..can delete.
