[Q] Questions about built-in screenshot app - HTC Desire S

Hi all, I am using virtuous unity 1.29.0, and I've noticed that it comes along with a native screenshot app that is activated by holding the power button and home button.
I've also noticed that since this is a sense 3.0 rom, it came along with a scribble app made from htc named mysketcher.apk in the app folder.
My question is that is that app responsible for taking screenshots? If yes is it possible to install it on non sense 3.0 roms?
Would appreciate any help given!
Thanks and regards!

Well it would be great to have a native built in one that works by holding the power and home buttons, so I can snap pictures of any application running immediately....

There are plenty of applications from the market that will enable you to do this shootme or drocap2
are both simple to use, although the majority of them require root access

HTC music

So I was trying to change the HTC music to the sense 2.0 version and after switching it just force closed every time I opened it. So when I attempted to switch back to the original it also did not work! So if someone could link me to one the will work it would be extremely helpful!! I'm running skyraider 4.0

i'd say you have to restore a nandroid i tried doing soemthing similar replacing the htc_ime and it wouldn;t install the original back so i would just restore a nandroid.
Well isn't it possible just to put it in a .zip and reinstall it? Because I've seen others with the HTC music and the widget worked but the app force closed when I opened it

I would replace the htc music apk, with another. I used the one from the nothing special rom. You can replace it with a file explorer with root access (be sure to change permissions), a zip if you know how or through adb.

I've already tried replacing through root explorer multiple times and the app just doesn't show up at all after that and I know nothing about adb. So I'm honestly really stuck at this point

same thing happened to me. I had to restore a Nan backup. If you are using SR4.0 I recommend trying the Google 3.0 leaked player. Its free, looks way better, plays perfect, the only thing missing from it, compared to stock, is the album art on the lock screen. It does not have lock screen controls BUT since you are using SR4.0 you can add the lock screen option in 4.0 to work with this player. I havent used stock for over a month, and wont go back until SR4.1 with the updated music player included.
You can find the app in the Android Development and Hacking forum here on XDA or just google search it.
But I would love to know why we can't run 2.0!!!! Been trying to get it for a while now.

You can't run sense 2.0 music widget because it is dependent of a sense 2.0 framework which sr4 doesn't have.

Sleep button/screen off effects

So my brother just got a program on his itouch, which is called tv tube sleep I think. It changes the effect of his screen off button to a tv off effect which is awesome. Ive found "screen off FX" on the android market, which is kinda cool I guess...but thing is its a widget, rather than actually pressing your sleep/screen off button...anyone find some kind of app im looking for? Thanks a lot guys! Kes

Launcher Pro let's you CHOOSE which button to remap. I used it before on my HTC DHD and remapped my personalize button into several different apps/system functions.

Developers prefer to keep their roms as stock as possible to decrease chances for any problem. Also, just like how some like to remap buttons, some people don't want to as well.
That's why some devs just make it a flashable package or recommend which mod/app for those that want to do it.

This, on the sense roms for my HD2, there used to be an app that let you customize it, with simple modifications I bet we can get it working on sense 3.0
Now just to remember the name...

Launcher Pro is far from Sense 3.0.
I'm sure 99% of people in this forum are well aware you can replace the launcher, but his question is specifically for modifying a component of HTC Sense - remapping the Personalize soft key to browser/messaging/etc.
As far as I know, there is no personalize soft key on LP either, unless you're talking about using a Sense theme with LP..? :-/
This has been done on previous versions of Sense and i'm sure someone could get it working with 3.0 too if they wanted.
I know this was done on the MT4G, I'll attempt to find that thread for reference.

I wonder if this mod would work on the Revolution HD rom, since that rom uses Sense 2.1 instead of 3.0? Hmmm..

I've tried many launchers including launcher pro but it doesn't support qhd wallpapers so its a big turn off for me, and I'm actually taking a liking to 3.0

FYI OTAers: hold POWER and tap HOME to take a screenshot

Saves in DCIM, appears in camera shots in Gallery. Tested on my 2.3.4 Vodafone Ireland Sensation.
Is it just in the Vodafone branded update?
Nice, works perfectly ;-)
Great, thank you. It works for the unbranded European Sensation, too (1.45.401.2).
Lol I was pressing home and power at the same time and wondering why it didn't work Thanks
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
Just to confirm, this also works on Android Revolution ROM 2.1.0 !

That would work too, but it's practically impossible to precisely press both at the same time.
i am using InsertCoin 2.2.2, and this is working perfectly.
baadnwz's rom based on 2.3.4 all have that feature.
so is it a feature of android2.3.4 ?
Wow. So this works with the stock rom too? I knew insert coin had it, I just never figured out why I couldn't get it to work the right way.
How are people only just realising this?? LOL!
I'm using this feature in InsertCoin 2.2.2 ROM it works good most of the time, but sometimes when I hit just the home button, it takes screen captures. Is anybody having the same problem?

Unless you're on 2.3.4 it won't - it wasn't in 2.3.3

It's not a feature of android 2.3.4, htc decided to implement this feature in 2.3.4. They could have done it in 2.3.3 if needed, but may have skipped since it is not a high priority feature.
It takes screenshot..but apparently the pic has 0 bytes. using p3d.neon custom.

[Q] Sense 3.0 3D "tilt"

I think I'm going to know the answer to this - but is there a way of disabling the 3D tilt effect on sense 3.0? Desire S non-root and stock.
Just to confirm, it's the effect on the homescreen when you tilt the phone that's bugging me, turns out I rarely hold my phone straight and it bugs me!
Thanks in advance.

What ROM are you using? If it has rcmix tweaks then just go to settings>tweaks>display settings>enable 3d home and untick the checkbox. You're done.
Hope this helps

I'm sorry... morning blues. Didn't read the post carefully!!
I wonder how he got the tilt then!
Cheers guys - I hard reset my device today and that got rid of it! I RRUed my phone and then restored with MyBackup, I think restoring my settings between sense versions did it.

Exactly...!! That's why i was wondering how he got 3D tilt to work on his stock ROM without the RcMix tweaks!!!
I haven't had a single stock ROM with that feature!!
I haven't it too. It's curious. What version firmware you have?
I'm running 2.10.401.5 - as previously stated another hard reset got rid of it; it looks like the effect is built in, but HTC have just got rid of the option to enable it and mine enabled it somehow!
I have the same version as you. Interesting...
