How can I disable it, Every time I unlock the phone with the lock ring pull up, the entire screen spins around meaning I have to wait a second before being able to do anything. I have disabled animation but can't find anything anywhere about it !!!!!!!!
I don't think you can.
That's what I am thinking, might have to lock the phone whilst off the carousel, as that's the only time it doesn't spin around.
Choose another launcher ( I use ADW EX, the paid version is snappy and neato!) and then use Titanium Backup to freeze Sense. Whammo!

I have never ventured onto a different launcher, waiting to catch up with a friend who swears by launchers. Will take things from there. But would be nice to disable this spinning....

Its pretty simple to do...Go to the market, DL ADW EX (paid version is a few bucks and well worth it). Set it as your default (it will ask you when you try to return to the homescreen. If you are rooted and have Titanium, look for Sense and freeze it. DONT remove it!
If you have decided to do that, post back and I will tell you how to set up ADW ex for speed.

Is there an email app like the iphone? Also is there I way to put pictures on your lock screen?
That depends on what application you're looking for, but I have understood that you bring your htc Rom has an application that lets you do what you're looking for. Anyway MailDroid is very good. Ask me for more help...

I prefer maildroid. It is pretty similar to the mail app on the iphone.
This post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12941969&postcount=3700) will walk you through putting a custom image on your lock screen (if you're using Sense 2.1 lockscreen). I've done it multiple times with success. If you figure out a way to do it using the Sense 3.0 lockscreen let me know
What features are you looking for from the iphone Mail.app? If it's the unified Inbox, K-9 Mail is pretty good.
MIUI Rom has different lockscreen pic then wallpaper. actually entire rom is kinda iphone like.. but i use k-9 mail try it out
I tried MailDroid but I cant stand it that there are ads that HOG my data when not on WIFI. I tried K-9 but there it kept force closing and couldn't use pinch to zoom. Uninstalled both. And cannot afford the $18 to buy MailDroid.
Ads? Use adfree.

the simplest root for inspire is to
download AC_SWM and GingerBreak-v1.20.apk
install AC_SWM on your pc, connect your phone in usb debug mode, run AC_SWM, then point it to GingerBreak-v1.20.apk path and click install, then goto your phone and select GingerBreak-v1.20.apk select root, reboot and super user is installed, doing from memory but its on forums
Have you done this with your inspire? Or has anyone done this with their inspire?
For pictures on your lock screen, widgetlocker is one way to go.

I have an Ipad and an Iphone 3g, I put android on the 3g Iphone and that finally pushed me to buy an unlocked Inspire 4g.
As far as rooting, honestly the whole process was painless using the Ace method. You download a zip file and follow a simple list of instructions and boom, you have full access to your phone lickety split.
Whole process took me 20 minutes and I have crappy internet =0

You could use widget locker from the market to put a picture on your lockscreen, and it also comes with a lot of customizable unlock bars so it fits the rom you're using.

I'm kind of a n00b to rooting on Android, and I was pretty scared when I started looking at what would be involved. I think the best bet is to spend a good few hours just reading the forums and finding a method you are comfortable with. I made sure I was familiar with the tutorial's processes before I touched my phone. Start at the link below, I used the "one click" method (it's like 5 clicks, so what). Now I'm rooted and have probably flashed 20+ times. It's addictive.

Hi,
I am sorry if this is mentioned here somewhere, but I could not find anything about it(yes, I did use search button).
So, here it is, My girlfriend bought HTC Desire S few weeks ago, and is using the stock Sense Keyboard(phone in stock condition, not rooted or s-off), and when she's typing, everything goes fine, then she stops typing for a few moments(last time she told me something, took about minute) and then goes back, once she hits the backspace button after this delay, the system shuts down the draft, saving it, but sending her into all messages menu, from there she has to open the draft again to start typing again...
small bug, not a big deal, you can say, but it can get very frustrating after few written SMS... Does anyone here gets same issue? Any idea how to resolve this? I was thinking of getting her different keyboard, e.g. gingerbread stock, which is installable from APK, so ROOT is not needed for that, but still, I'd rather get this resolved and let her use the keyboard she's used to
You can download the Gingerbread Keyboard from the market.

I was thinking of that solution as well, till I googled this thread:
http://androidforums.com/htc-desire-s/324029-delete-selection-screen-appearing-when-pressing-backspace-whilst-writing-text.html
Well, according to some people there, its not the solution, so I guess, I will have to get her HancentSMS
Tbh, I use handcent anyway. It's pretty much the first thing I install on a new phone / ROM.
Yea, my girlfriend is a little conservative, so she likes stock things, however I tried to install the Gingerbread keyboard, and she got used to it pretty quickly, and was happy, and same thing actualy happened with Hancent, she liked it very much, so I guess issue solved. Now if anyone of you have same issue, Hancent SMS solves it
This thread can be locked as resolved - even tho I still hope HTC will release some hotfix for the stock SMS app

Let me give you advice, get her what she wants, once there will be a bug, she'll be blaming herself, I actually pushed her to get DesireS instead of overpriced iPhone4, and now whenever there is something she doesnt like on the phone, I am the one responsible but thanks god, so far she sees more pros than cons But this bug was pretty annoying tho

O dear, she also wanted an Iphone, as all her friends have one, but, I've pushed her down the Android/HTC route...
I even tried to give her my Desire S so that I could buy myself a Sensation, but I'd scratched it as a result of minor drinking accident so she didn't want it!
Only time will tell.....Fortunately she's coming from a NOKIA so the things that she'll gain should easily out weigh the losses!

I am with ya bro you'll see, Desire S is great phone, feels a way faster than my original Desire, and appart from this one bug she's very happy with it... so as soon as your girlfriend gets this phone, install her hancentSMS to avoid that bug, and she will be happy

Hi All,
Running Thunderstick Full Blown, love it.
Wondering if anybody else is running the Waze Navigation program? I just recently upgraded from 3.0.2 to the newest 3.2 version and it went totally screwy, I can't read the road names, all kinds of crap all over the map.
I'm wondering if anybody has the .apk for 3.0.2 that they could share w/me? I tried to restore my old one from titanium backup but keep getting an "uh oh no network connection" error message from the restored one, idk why.
Was thinking a clean install of the last working version I had would be a good idea.
Thank you!
EDIT: Found one online, still not working great, does anybody have just plain 3.0 ? I also don't entirely trust the file sharing sites and the files on them to be free of little nasties that want to take over my phone.
i used it for about a week when it first came out. too gimmicky and useless i thought.

I ended up finding an older version right on the Waze website. What I like about it is the real time updated info that comes from other drivers, like police on the road (or in hiding lol), traffic hazards, objects in the road, etc.
I think they have a great idea, just need to fix some fonts (or something). I use it for my daily commute where I know where I'm going and just want to know what's around me. I wouldn't use it for getting someplace new, I'll use google nav for that, it's more refined.
Thanks for the input.
Was using go launcher then thought why use.both as then use use more ram up. Just use stock and save ram. Most people forgot about ram and only think of storage.space.

Only the default launcher should stay in memory I thought so having a second launcher shouldn't use any extra. I use adw launcher ex now and I don't get any redraws as long as I don't enable landscape view.

If you are using another launcher and are rooted, you can delete rosie.apk and all the sense widgets from system/app

I tried it and then I noticed the screen was horrible...couldn't read any of the text like you said. Then about a couple of days later I reflashed my phone and when I did my "My Backup Pro" backup, I didn't backup WAZE. So, I redownloaded it and it seemed to work fine.
I think it is a pretty cool program....really haven't got much into it. I do like the "real time" updates. I was on the freeway and someone said there was a roadside incident...when I got to that area, it wasn't there and I was able to let others know.
Hey guys,
My apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I was hoping someone could tell me/direct me to a unlock screen launcher or theme or something.
The unlock screen of my phone (Xperia Arc S 4.0) is incredibly ugly. I like having my phone protected though, usually by a 4 digit code or something but (call me ridiculous) the fact that I need to unlock my phone on this incredibly ugly unlock screen really puts me off the whole thing.
Basically what im looking for is to replace the digit lock screen with a different one (pattern is not worth it since its too easily guessed).
Is there any way I could make the screen which unlocks my SIM (which looks nice) unlock my phone too?
The best of course would be something like that but with out having to press OK at the end. (A bit like on the iFail where when you type the passcode correctly it unlocks with out making you press ok)
If anyone knows of something like this I would really appreciate a link or the name of the app or so.
Thanks!

I'm hoping someone on here will find a hack for us to get the third "home" option. But i can't wait because the return window is so short. Or maybe it's just my phone and everyone else does have the App drawer home option on theirs??

Go to Settings->Home->and then select Easy Home. You will then have an app drawer. Otherwise, use a different launcher

I don't have the phone but messed around with three different models in a Verizon store...There is no settings>home directory....only thing under settings is "Home Screen" and within that menu, "Easy Home" was not an option.
Since more than likely somebody will come here and look for the solution to this I would say the best option for this would be to install the Google Now Launcher since this is the one that is closest to the stock Android and has the app drawer available. In my opinion it works much better than the launcher LG has readily available.
Easy Home is on the VS987. If you dont like that, then yeah, use a different launcher. I use Nova, so I have zero f*cks to give about this "issue" anyway.
Fantastic phone so far.

Same :good:
I know Easy Home is there.. But Easy Home is a total different animal. Not only does it cripple the phone it makes it unusable. Can't install or use Widgets. Can't add more home screens. It makes the fonts huge(this can be changed in setting but still doesn't come out looking right). Almost 60% of the phones settings disappear, etc, etc. Easy Home is for the person coming from a flip phone for the first time. Or someone 90 years old. The point is that LG said the real app drawer option would be there. Even Verizon told me it should have been. They are waiving my re-stock fee because of it. Other launchers are great if you didn't buy a LG specifically for it's Widgets and apps. They don't work with other launchers. You don't get the awesome swipe and screen effects with them. I can make my G4 look almost 100% stock android yet have all the good features you can't get from any other launcher. I love their G phones. Have had every one since the G2. I still think they are the BEST phones on the market. Samsung still uses that gross home button and physical control buttons. Touchwiz is cheesy to me and can't be changed to look stock like the LG's can.
This is the pic from the LG video that LG posted. Every blog said "hooray this setting will be there when the phone comes out". it isn't!!!! But i'm still hoping it's a easy hack from someone on here to figure out. I'm not good like you guys. But please don't tell people "Easy Home" is an option. Trust me on this one. If you have a G2, 3 or 4 go try it. You will understand what I mean in two seconds flat.
All as i can tell you is returning something I've been waiting months for was real hard. I tried to adapt. The way this thing comes is awful. Without that third home setting this thing is a flop.

Fair point. I didn't know that LG was promising what you showed in the pic. I'd wager they'll enable it in an update, but yeah if it wasn't what they told you it would be, then you're 100% justified in a return.
As for me, OEM launchers (LG UsuX, Samsung TouchJizz, HTC makesnoSense) are all garbage compared to Nova Prime. To each his own. That's why Android is awesome.
Solved !!!!!!! It's a plug in. you have to download "LG Smart World" from the LG site. then search for "LG Home 4.0" Download and install and you now have the NORMAL app drawer setup. it was actually painless. And now makes the phone the way it should be
This works on all variants. I have Verizon but people with T-mo and AT&T have confirmed.
