Ok, i have an elf. of the phone variety.
No funny hats or curly shoes with bells on.
On the third panel of the HTC today screen,
the app launcher, it will no longer add anything.
I can click on the plus icon, and it will show me
a selecion of programs to add, but after clicking
"select" or "ok" it still wont show the item in
the launcher.
Anyone else had this problem?
More importantly, has anyone got a solution?
(and i have searched the forum. found nothing)
LOL....no really? I thought you actually got one of santa's little helpers
Hmmmm....never heard of that one. Did you make any changes to the phone recently? Install something, flash a new ROM? Have you tried soft resetting the phone? Also try to disable the HTC home plug in and then try to re-enable.
well, i did capture one a couple of years ago, but some rights organisation said it was politically incorrect for me to keep it, so i had to let it go.
anyway.
ive not changed the rom in any way. ive only just got it a couple of days ago.
but ill now try disabling it and enabling it again. see if it helps.
thanks for the idea
ok, nope, turning the htc home off and on again didnt work
and i didnt really keep anything and pretend it was an elf.
my previous comment didnt come out sounding sarcastic enough.
any other ideas?
If you havn't got HTC Home Customizer = get this and install on your device.
Not only can you customize the HTC Home plugin to make it prettier you can also add your app shortcuts through HHC and see if they will add that way.

This is the link to HTC Home customizer XDA - This link aslo has link to official site - it is freeware and worth downloading and installing anyways.
well, thats a prety fantastic program. Ive finally been able to get rid of that weather tab that i never use.
Sadly, whenever I try to add anything to the app launcher through the htc home customizer, it throws an error and closes.
???
:edit:
Fiddle-De-Dee
Just played with it some more and got it working ok.
i was making a silly mistake with the HHC.
Thanks for your helps folks.
sounds like something got really messed up on your device, probably a registtry change or another app is causing conflict.
Did you get this device brand new?
Have you installed anything recently? If so Try uninstalling it and see if it is working properly now?
Have you been playing around with changing registry settings? If so, try changing things back to the way they were originally.
Maybe if you got the device used, someone else had made these changes.
A hard reset will reset the device back to factory settings and may solve your problem. Unfortunately, you will loose everything you have put on your device, apps, contacts, any customization. You may want to look into backing up some of your data before performing the hard reset. Once hard reset is completed, you can add your custom apps again and start customizing again. No big deal really if you have not done much with your device yet. I have had to do it twice on my device - Just time consuming since I had a lot of customizing already done and had to redo it. Now I know to back up my data before doing a hard reset.
edit: I was typing this reply before you edited your post. Glad to hear that you got it working. Enjoy
after I soft-reset my XDA, all dates and reminders don't sound anymore.
I checked the sound settings and files. Everything is set up. Even another reboot didn't work. Probably a ROM failure? Or just a REG. setting ?

ROMS don't fail - they either install and work or they don't - so it won't be that. You got sound for other things? (new sms etc.).
well yes. that's the strange thing about it. All other sounds work just fine.
Maybe a startup routine is defect?
I wonder if there is a REG entry for reminders.
There is a reg entry under HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{1511F90......
It isn't actually {1511F90...... that's just what it starts with.
This entry seems to indicate what file to play (maybe the file is corrupt? Have you tried a different sound for reminders?)
There are a few other registry entries for 'reminder' but I'm not sure they are relevant.
crazy - I swear to god I didn't do ANYTHING.
But suddenly it works again. Everything sounds as it supposed to be.
Now give me an explanation to THAT
not sure if this is your issue but...
i had this issue, I wasnt getting reminder sounds, or the pop up bubble, and i dont remember where i found this solution, but im pretty sure its a common one. I dont know why this works, but it does
start/settings/system/clocks and alarms
switch your time to "visiting, hit ok and exit the clocks and alarms settings.
then open it again, switch back to "home" time, and viola!
I dont know why this works, but it does, and it usually sticks for quite a while, though i do occasionally have to do it again which is still unacceptable in my book, but I have yet to find a better solution than this.
cool. thanx for the tip. I'll check it out when it happens again.
cheers mate

When you first open it, it makes you do a update if you choose to save it to the memory card it will not work and I don't know of any way to fix it other than possibly reseting the device. Even that is iffy as I don't know if that restores the apps that are stored directly on the phone.
Try it and let me know
What rom are you using. I never could get it to work with Kumars's roms.
im using the stock rom, Bsb tweaks, PHM registry editor, Cookies home tab, Pandora, I dont think it even worked when i first got it a week ago.
I had asked this before but wasn't sure it could be done. Well now its been done for the EVO can someone please do this for the vibrant. This has become even more important to me now that vlingo is free.
Link to swype with voice for evo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752040
Can that not work on our phone as well, its the beta that determines what phone you have.... PM the guy who made the edits and ask. I would think it would work fine.
I have tried installing it directly as an apk and the install fails. I have also tried renaming and copying over the current skype and this has no effect, aka the keyboard for skype remains unchanged.
I also went as far as to try the original droid x file with the above two methods and had the same results.
Apparently there are some dependencies or other files involved.
Anyone have any ideas?
If I'm not mistaken you are supposed to flash via recovery. I spent like 3 minutes looking at that thread.
Thanks I missed that as was working with the origonal apk file posted. Trying the zip now
Keep us updated, that looks awesome
Ok ran and installed the zip file and no change. No errors but same as when I copied over the skype file manually. The skype keyboard is unchanged. In my case still the grey smoke colored version from eugene's vibrant4 build.
Anymore ideas? I would really love to get this working but do not know enough to reverse engineer what was done.

It would be nice if they shared what they did so we could try to reproduce it. I would love this mod combined with vlingo now that it's free, since Google's new stuff only works on 2.2.
I'll try to find time to download all the APKs from the various phones and see what's different. If you want to speed things up, send me links to all of them.
All I have is the APK file from the above posted link and I believe I have the original droid x apk for skype as well but it appears it is more then just the single skype file.
I have sent a pm to the creator in hopes he/she will share their secrets as to what has to be done to make this work.

Yeah, I thought we wern't supposed to share swype apks on here though, so I was wanting the original one from the droidx as well as the evo in addition to the one in the post you linked to. I can of course get the Vibrant one from my phone. Let me know if the other devs answer you and I'll try to help out.

Does the i9000 have it? Maybe we can borrow their version?
Well.. what do you know? That EVO one works! Instructions..
backup your existing swype, just in case.
adb pull /system/app/Swype.apk swype-backup.apk
Change your keyboard to a different one, I just switched to the Android keyboard.
adb push swype-evo-tts.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
Now change back to swype. Mic button is now there and it works!
bug/oddness: The pop-up that shows you suggestions is now yellow with light text, it's damn hard to read some of them.
This fixes the word choice window to not be yellow anymore. I used the stock graphics files from the Swype that came with our phones.
Metamorph required, market.
Couldn't make this work no matter what I tried. Your directions were very good but they just didnt seem to work. I sent you a PM let me know what else to try.

UPDATE
Got it all working now and while they keyboard is a little different all the voice functionality works perfectly. This coupled with vlingo makes for one awesome combination. Thanks to everyone for all your help.
Skype yellow fix locks up when trying to install and I cannot figure out where to copy the files manually it says to a skype directory but i dont see the directory in root explorer

Are you using vlingo for the voice button? I haven't tried to do that, it just brings up google's voice input app.

You have to put them in the swype.apk. did you load it in metamorph? It's not an update.zip that you flash in recovery.
The screen looks the same as googles so maybe it interfaces with it but yes I hit the mic from the keyboard and speak and it works. I know it is somehow interfaced to vlingo as if I turn on filtering so I cant swear in vlingo setup then send a nasty text it filters it out. If i turn off word filtering in vlingo it sends the bad words.

Ok I am clueless no idea how to make my own apk and not loaded metamorph. Any chance I could get you to prebuild it into a single apk for me?
If not then a link to the process or a step by step would be much appreciated.
Has anyone found a way to change the default docking app from nemo? I have tried removing it, replacing nemoplayer.apk with my custom apk..nothing works that i have found? Is there a system variable somewhere maybe that could be changed? If so, how where possibly might it be and also, is there a way to search all the files for a string of text (ie. nemoplayer)?

Not sure why you're calling nemo player a docking app, but I can assure you it's one of the first apps I rip out of all my ROMs, or it'll be constantly running as a background app.
In other words, it's safe to rip that [email protected] right out!
crap
Yeah, i hate that its on there but the problem is that when i hook my a100 into the dock i have mounted into my truck, nemo player automatically opens up. I want to try and get rid of nemo and have it open my own dock app, however there is no way to do this. I have been poking through files and narrowed it down to this file "/system/bin/dock_utility"...it is what is called on when it is plugged into the dock, however im no expert and i dont really know how to view/edit this file to change it to my needs. Anyone know?
Ahhh gotcha! That kind of dock lol
Just rip out the apk and odex and reboot.
?
not sure i follow...i have tried taking the apk off and when i hook it up nothing happens. When I replaced the apk with the apk i want to use and rename it to nemoplayer.apk in the system..it still doesnt do anything. What do you mean by rip and odex? Not sure what odex is..

You actually took another apk, renamed it to nemoplayer.apk and expected it to be your default dock launcher?!?
That statement says is all. Forget I mentioned anything please?
I don't want to be in any way responsible for you borking your tab.
ok..
thanks for the help...
I seriously doubt i will brick my tab by messing with the nemoplayer...

Yeah, doesn't sound like the other guy knows quite as much as he thinks
Anyway, did you find a solution yet? I am not quite sure yet how Android processes/binaries call each other. Maybe a class needs to be renamed inside the apk?
Thanks...
