I'm curious if its possible to disable the align screen shortcut on the Wizard (Enter Button in center plus Messages Button) Its really annoying when playing Doom or an emulator in landscape and having that popup all the time. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Unfortunately i dont have an answer for you. but i do have aquestion that i hope youcan answer. I got myself a doom launcher. It works well, but the control setup is terrible on the wizard. If i play in portrait mode, the fire button is the left soft key. So i ahve to fire with the same finger that i use to move. That makes the game unplayable. What launcher are you using and where did you get it?
I haven't done any testing or trying yet, but here is my idea...
what if you rename the align screen app, just so it stops it from launching?

Its called GF Doom (I'm sorry but I don't remember where I got it or whom made it. Although if the creator see's this I would love for him/her to PM me as I also have some questions.) Anyway the launcher shouldn't control the Key Mapping, usually thats done in some sort of config file. With the program that I have the keys are mapped in the skin file's txt document.
Try this, unzip all contents into your storage card and run the launcher you should get Doom, Doom II, and Plutonia (sometimes called Ultimate Doom) as well as a 3rd party mod called Evilution. Keep the default skin, with that the keys I have mapped are:
The directional Buttons for Movement, Messages button for Fire and strafe(I would like to change strafe to volume up/down or Internet but have not been able to if you can figure this out let me know), and the softkeys for Select and Start.
The screen defaults to protrait with your choosen skin. To play in full landscape start the game in the options change the resolution to "low" and it will switch, Hope this helps
I can't seem to get the attachment to work here is the link ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/
the file is pocket doom.zip
A Flock of Seagulls are in my Wizard
It would be awesome to find a way to disable this. Is there maybe an entry in the registry that corresponds to what key combination turns on the align screen program. Maybe it could be changed to some combination of keys that is very unlikely to be executed simultaneously.
Until then, I'll continue to drink foo-foo drinks to calm myself while trying to play any action games.

Dragonedge:
What version of GF Doom do you have? Maybe I have an old version. When I enter full screen mode, the soft keys are shoot and strafe, while the message/IE buttons are menu and escape. I have to use the same hand to shoot as I do to move.
Thanks for the tip about full screen, I would never have figured that out. Now I'm not dissapointed with the program anymore.
Lol, funny posts. Is this still a problem? Does it need investigating?

I still have the problem........ working on some things now.

Not sure what version it is. Check out the ftp I uploaded a zip file with everything I use. Also you can edit the skin files to remap the softkeys as well as the messaging and internet keys. All the information about remapping the buttons is in the skins folder in a txt file names Skin Specs.

The only problem I had was being able to map the message and internet buttons as different keys. Also I would like to use the volume slider as a left and righ strafe but could not seem to get that mapped either. Any help there would be great.
I've made an app to disable this - VJCalibrula for Universal and Hermes.
Wizard requires a slightly different hack, and I don't have one to test on.
dragonedge: what hardware/ROM are you using? I'll try to get you to alpha test if you want.

I wouldn't mind at all . I have the T-mobile MDA/Wizard with the 2.26 ROM
An app to disable this would be handy another idea that would be nice is an app that would let you specify another button combination for system shortcuts would be awesome.
VJCalibrula - disable align screen settings (alpha)
Guys, please give this a go.
I don't think it supports AKU 3.2 for now. Soon...

I think I see why you are having a problem finding the program. yo.
Um, press and hold the power button

Thank's man installing it right now, and I am also looking for a new wait icon, I got mine form SPJ, "SmartPhoneJunkie.com" but its been down for while, any one know of a good link for a black wait icon, thx for the help..
Alright I installed it to my phone and it work's great, any one know a link for a black/white skin for the PSShutXP?
When you have to sketch something quickly without the need for fancy features, this small application is fit for the task. All the application does is to display a full screen white page for you to draw on. The down button will erase the doodle and the center button will close the application. This application weights under 50kb and was designed to give me a paper to draw what I’m trying to picture something.
Download Confetti v.1.0 (.cab file)
PRESS THE CENTER BUTTON ON THE D-PAD TO EXIT!
thanks man !
any screen shot ?
Does it save the file?

Says center button closes.
why'd you name it confetti? Shouldn't it be like Graffiti?
cool app tho
this is wonderful. very useful for me as i draw graphs to understand stuff in uni all the time.. and for writing down phone numbers.
i'd suggest the options to write in black only as this colorful writing is pretty terrifying
maybe... a settings menu to change the color options?
thank you

It used to be that way when you pressed the up button but i removed it to get the most barebones app possible. I'll change it, add onscreen instructions and add a way to launch with the previous drawing.
A few more kilobytes cannot hurt!
EDIT: Actually the up button does exactly that. Press it for black ink.

Actually the up (down,left,right) does not draw black for me. It erases the screen
Great app though!!
having black and maybe the ability to save as image would be two great additions, good job.
yup, when i click any of the DPAD buttons it just erased the screen, no black ink.
Hello fellow guinea pigs !
I've been waiting ages for thgis phone and i'm preparred to work through the issues rather than send it back. I've noticed it has a few more bugs than my garden shed. Maybe we can list them and togerther suss out if we can overcome them.
1. Won't update/seach or tweet via the twitter app, autocollect email or load facebook pages via 3G. Works fine via wifi though. Updates weather and internet browing is fine on both though.
UPDATE works fine with a T-Mobile sim. Must be a Vodafone issue.
2. Can only update lockscreen background from YOURE pictures, not the HTC background folder. Despite the default being from the HTC File.
there was another, forgot, i'll come back. i've got a few bugs too!
What version of android are you running?
Mine has none of thos bugs all the problem you said are working fine for me.
I don't know if this is correct but my software version is: 1.0.0.A6288 (if that makes sense)
1. No IMAP folder prefix option in mail - well none that I can find!
2. All the custom bookmarks I save are saved with a zoomed in screenshot so they all look stupid on the thumbnail view.
How's everyone's "people" facebook integration?
It has the potential to be so amazing and yet at the moment it seems to be a bit on and off. Just had a scare after sync 100+ contacts doing the "link facebook profile" as all the pictures disappeared.
When you click update I not really sure what it does but it takes forever!
Hopefully fixed by software updates :S?

I know it has a few problems right now, but give the phone a chance, HTC are working on a lot of the initial bugs and I'm sure they'll provide a software update to resolve these issues.
biggest prob ive found is when on a call the screen goes black
now wot button do you press to wake the phone up ? oh the ------- yep you got it no more phone call so how do you wake up the screen while on a call ?
Yeah the disappearing Facebook pictures is really annoying, they disappear in batches though... Each picture persists for about 24 hours before disappearing... Very weird behaviour. You can then re-add them by editing the contact and reapplying their picture "from facebook".
I will be REALLY peeved if they don't fix this in an update... (and soon!!) -- can we just try and determine exactly how many people are experiencing this issue (i.e. is it everyone?) -- and is it just me or does the People list scroll really poorly...? Very jerky, not at all smooth like some of the other lists.
And to add to your bugs -- I have found the "manage applications" to take AGES to load (much of the time) i.e. longest is in excess of 30 seconds, quickest is 3-4 seconds, not quite sure why, as my brother has a Magic and it loads in ~2 secs every time...

Sound's like my wife's problem... If you're on TMob, get them to test your Internet Plus provisioning. I had no such problem on mine...

Seen one or two glitches, but nothing I can pin down yet!
I LOVE this phone.
One annoyance: When looking through facebook photos via "Albums" you can do anything other than share a link via email, having a save as or set as button would be awesome!
Pressing and holding the home button to bring up the list of running programs removes the home button association to the senseUI. When you next press the home button it asks whether you want touchflo3d or standard android home.

I've had my Hero for 36 hours now, and this is one of the more noticable bugs I've come across so far - highly irritating, as I'm used to using the Home button long-press a lot...

same here.
Found another problem with the HTC mail app...
1. Regardless of what username I put in the smtp setup screen, after it validates the settings it changes the username to my pop username and password so I can't send email - baring in mind I get no sort of error messages very poor!
My word does the mail app need some more time in the oven, considering its just based of the standard Google e-mail app which has none of these setup problems. All they seem to have done is make - let's face it - an already poor app worse!

yer me neither. I didn't know you could hold down home to view that though. Is a good addition! and can always keep Taskiller running so easy to properly quit apps.
hopefully the first firmware update will solve all these issues .
Anyone have the issue where on the homescreen, with the HTC music and calender widget, whenever i paused on a particular screen with them on, the white text would be there for about 2 seconds, then disappear...?
Very odd. Although a soft reset seemed to solve it.
O one more thing, I LOVE the capacitive screen, the keyboard has really been worked on. (would be nice to have a proper " ? ") button though always find myself holding down k to get that which slows down typing time.
Weirdly I can't seem to set the screen brightness! Its greyed out in the display options. When I hook it up to adb on my PC I see lots of "ERROR/HardwareService(60): GetPreferredValue (settings.display.brightness, 102) failed!" messages.
EDIT: I have an unlocked white one BTW

Have you ticked the box directly above it called 'Disable auto backlight'?
once this is ticked, you should be able to manually set the brightness.
And i can't get the home bug to occur either. brown sim free running 1.76.405.6
Was looking through the Nook Color forum and ran across this post.
He called the app Multiimage but I could only find MultiPicture. I am pretty sure it is the same app he referenced. Especially since the nice instructions he was kind enough to share worked like a charm.

The different "Hubs" for home, media movies, etc refers to each screen. By default ADW (free or paid) has 5 screens. Each screen is given a theme (I use Social, Games, Home, Media and News). Then you use some sort of text icon to name the screen. The idea is to group content appropriate for each screen so everything is easy to find.
To go along with this many of us have chosen to use the mulitimage live wallpaper app from the market that allow you to have a different wallpaper on each screen.
Download the Multiimage live wallpaper
long press on the screen and select wallpapers/live wallpapers
select Multiimage and choose settings.
press the button labeled "Add individual settings" so you get screen settings for each screen
now select each screen setting and add the source. You will need to have folders on the sd card for each "Hub" and then have wallpapers inside.

Be sure and click the Add Individual Settings button once for each screen that you have. A new field labeled screen 1,2 so on will magically appear above the aforementioned button.
I really like it and just had to share. The Market link is here.

Sorry if this is a useless post but until today I had no idea. Maybe I should get out more...
thanks. very helpful. i was wondering if this kind of app existed but wasn't sure exactly what to search for.
This can't be all that great for battery life or hogging resources can it?
Anyone done any testing?
It seems like it may be using a little more from the battery, but it hasn't been bad enough for me to un-install it. I charge mine once daily both before using this and after. But I play with the A500 constantly and have streams almost always playing something.
The only other issue that I have noticed is that it can get a little laggy at times. But nothing that I can't live with.
