Anybody????

Works fine for me. Using the stock browser, if you browse to a site and then scroll a bit to make the address bar and bottom menu appear, there should be an "Add to" button which allows you to add it to your home screen.
Are you sure your home screens aren't completely filled?

Works fine here too

chances are that they are clearing old stock for the new xda exec as they now have a new device, the upgarde is just an upgrade, even if they do carry on selling the 2s i dont think o2 have the brains to ship it with the new rom, they tend to leave customers to fend for themselves and if you know nothing about upgrading like us on here, you have no chance.

Wait... When I do it the shortcut will just save to any screen with space, not just the home screen. Obviously it will not create another panel to accomodate, however.

[Q] Screen Capture Luck

I found out that the HTC Sensation had this feature but I have yet to get it to work... can any one tell me how it is done? I have tried the power button/home button and just get the turn off option.
It doesn't.

As has been said in every other screen shot thread, HTC disabled it in the build.prop
Well I saw that the htc website said it does but it doesn't? That's wired.

Sorry I went looking for the sensation phone not the htc in general. If I root the phone could I do it? Or is the something else I could do? I see that members that make the themes are doing it.

my question about his method: do you need to do more than just fre3vo? I tried it that way & drocap2 doesn't work still. I've noticed that some of the auto-redo methods some people have made has the batch script installing other apps called Superuser, sqlite2, & busybox. What are those & are they needed for drocap2 to work?

All the screenshots made other than the lockscreen reveals lines on the screen. I've used dropcap2, android sdk, screenshotit, etc....all can screenshot the lockscreen ok but when I try to screenshot the home screen or any other screen, black lines show up on the pic across the icons and screen.

drocap2 does that on the first screenshot each time you launch the program (every time it's granted su permissions). Second screenshot should be perfectly fine. Just long press the home button to access drocap2 easily.

Two threads or so above this one has the same issue. They seem to think it's a sense issue being the sense widgets being animated.
Can you take screenshots without the lines? After the first one as you mentioned.

Thanks for suggesting the "long press" solution.
The way I had done it was using drocap2 via notification trigger.
I did have to disable SU notification setting else the "toast" or "notification bar" gets into the screen shot.
I used shake trigger for the lock screen captures since notification bar trigger won't work for that screen.
Drocap2 is getting these images whenever I take screenshots after the second and third. No changes I am still getting the lines.
I currently have use the notification bar to "take" the pic in 5 seconds. Is there something I am missing??
Are those lines on your screen when you transition from 1 screen to another? Like, does it flicker?
I have the flicker issue sometimes and either a "Force Stop" HTC Sense or use Fast Reboot app to make Sense reload.
Try drocap2 on it after that.
No it doesn't flicker or anything. And no I am not transitioning from another screen. I just tried the fast boot app and it worked slightly on the first pic but then the lines come back in the second.
Maybe it's a lwp issue? I am going to try to get a static lwp to test.
Confirmed-LWP (for me) causes lines
LWP when doing a screenshot will cause lines. I tried a different lwp and a static one.
The htc sense lwp
Static wallpaper-No lines.
Yeah, I'm getting those lines using lwp too.
Galaxy LWP doesn't show lines.

Full screen weather animation

Simple question, how do I disable the full screen weather animation after unlock? Can't see that setting in the weather ap menu.

i think if you long hold the widget like you are going to trash it but drag it to edit you should be able to turn it off.

The only option there is to edit location.
I think there is some kind of bug here cause I haven't even chosen the weather animation for the lockscreen but sometimes I get that animation anyway.
Yeah, I'm definitely missing something here. I remember turning it on with my first handset, but with this one is can't find the setting. Weird.

Drag the clock to 'edit', select location and then you will be given the option to enable or disable full screen animation.

How to change what page home button goes to

Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
Hold the home button I think. I'm on Nova now so I cant remember exactly. Think that's it just hold it and you can select pages.. if its not hold home then try pressing the back button when on the home page.

Hit the home button so it brings the Manage Pages. You'll see all of your home pages. Select the the page you want to be the default by long pressing it. When it "lifts", slide it all the way over to the left side. The default home page is all the way on the left. Hope this helps.

[Q] HTC Sense Input

I recently noticed the arrow keys reappearing on the portrait keyboard even though I have them turned off in options (settings>language&keyboard>htc sense input>arrow keys "OFF"). I have cleared htc sense input data and this takes care of the resetting issue until I play any kind of full screen video. This included youtube in full screen, angry birds, vevo, etc. I thought that it might be an app so I put my phone into safe mode...but the same issue occurs. I even went as far as doing a full reset, but still the issue continues. I really could care less about the arrow keys, I just want to make sure at this point that it is just some kind of software issue that may be resolved with a future update, and not a hardware issue with my phone in particular. My phone is completely stock and fully updated. HTC hasn't emailed back yet, so I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? btw, this may be a well know issue, but I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks so any help would be much appreciated.

i have this same issue. they come back even when i turn them off. the only way to get rid of them again is to make sure the keyboard shows up then turn the phone into landscape mode then back to portrait mode, then the arrows are gone. its a glitch in the software or something.
Is there a way you can disable the arrow keys on stock rom and unrooted? I'm on android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1, but i can't see the option in HTC sense input in where you can turn off the arrow keys..

It's under HTC Sense Input, make sure to look under all of the "advanced settings" , dive into the sub-menus.

When i go to advanced settings, there are no sub-menus.. is it just me? i really don't want any 3rd party keyboard because the stock keyboard is just great, it's just i can't find any option that can disable the arrow in the keyboard. Even in the advance settings, there is none..

anyone using the app notice the home and mulitask buttons are slightly larger than the back key?
edit: original post updated...
I'm using SoftKeysz and observing some "ghosting" behavior where the "up graphic" ^ overlays the home key, which causes the home key to stop responding. the only fix is a reboot. Anyone else experiencing this behavior and/or have a fix i might try? thanks!
EDIT: Fixed, something related to XBlast or GravityBox options i selected. I thought i had disabled them, but i didn't. I disabled both apps and ghosting went away, will have to see which option (if any) was the causing my problem.

Mine themed, but most of the time one button (in my case the recents)...was huge. and wouldn't correct itself for some reason, even if I used GravityBox to shrink the Navbar. No idea...guess I'll wait for the next update..I really like it though - lots of cool designs on there.
