Hi there,
is just installed "AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB233 CM7" on my HTC HD2 and must say, it's running like a charm.
There ist ONE Problem thus far, that is concerning me:
Today (my 2nd day with this release) i just cannot edit my homescreens anymore.
It worked as supposed till today.
I cannot place new widgets on the screen nor replace, delete them or anyting.
I even cannot delete the complete screen (out of the 5 in existence).
If i place my finger in an empty spot, phone gives haptic feedback after a short while, nothing happens. Same when i hold any already placed widget/link.
Evertihn else is working fine (swiping screens, starting things).
any idea?
Thanks, cpo
Press the Windows button, Select: Unlock desktop?
[SOLVED]
Oh, thank you very much. That was indeed the problem.
I wasn't aware that i even touched this function!
Thanks for your quick help!

Great little app, but I constantly find I can't close the last open application to get back to my Today screen - and if I go Start > Today, nothing happens - it seems as if the XDA *thinks* it's at the Today screen already, but my last open app (usually Phone) is still on screen, an no matter how often I clikc the little Magic Button X, it won't go away.
This only usually happens when I have a single app open, if I have 2 or more they close fine with Magic Button, right down till the last 1, then this problem starts.
Even more annoying because if I can't get to Home, I can;t lock the device.
I have a complaint about Magic Button also. On my wizard, it opened the phone menu everytime I close the window of Settings. The other annoying thing is that the X did not blend in with my theme colors. It's always a different color and looks very odd.
So what I did was uninstalled magic button and have started to use InClose program. It is MUCH better.
IMO, Magic button is crap. I dont know why people recommend it so much. Well ok, it might just be that it does not get on with the wizard.
It kept crashing for me, so i started using InClose. Brilliant freeware app and has been working perfectly for a few months now. Get it.
Zero problems with Magic Button here. Been running it for a while now
Magic Button was unacceptable to me on my Blue Angel and it's been no better for me on my Wizard. Personally I prefer wclose or smclose (which I believe are pretty much the same program) in conjunction with Smartskey.
Just my two cents worth!
I had the same problem with magic Button. After closing all the applications, the phone application would maximize. (you aren't allowed to actually close the phone application.) So with the phone application maximized, and no way to minimize it. It would get stuck on the top of the screen for me as well. I dont like in close either. It crashed alot on my system. Just use smartskey. It works great.
Hi, I had same problem with magic button and changed it to vbar (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/vbar.shtml). It's nice program with one bug - the X/ok button have blue bacground no matter what theme and color you have.
For vBar you can select your own BMP picture.. ..works like a charm!
I've been using MagicButton for a long time now, and I didn't have any problem with it on my Wizard or Prophet.
Solved it, InClose was the answer, great app, thanks all!
I have a Kaiser, and there's nothing more irritating than accidentally bumping a button while having the phone in your pocket, then having random things in your pocket scroll through your address book until it calls someone. Or opens up IE and finds a high-bandwidth website. When you don't have a data plan.
Things like this hurt. I've been trying to find a solution to it, and I happened to stumble upon an olllllld application on another forum. It's called AutoLock. I found it Here.
Anyways, long story short, it uses the built-in Windows Mobile screen lock and turns it on whenever the phone's screen turns on. So hitting the power button is enough to lock your phone. It's super convenient, and for the most part, it's not too buggy.
I've been using this for probably over a month now. It's a lifesaver. I had the .exe on my SD card, and every time I reflashed, I had to make a new shortcut and place it into the startup folder. So tonight, I made a CAB file out of it.
I hope you guys get as much use out of it as I do.
A quick note: It runs in the background. Terminating it will not allow it to function. The CAB will add a shortcut to the startup folder, so a soft reset will start it. Otherwise you can start it from the shortcut in the Programs folder.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is there a way to disable the program window that pops up after a soft-reset?
A: There is no way to disable the message screen on startup. Just hit the X in the top right corner, and it should minimize out of sight.
Q: When receiving a call, does the answer button and screen stay locked?
A: The answer button and the screen both unlock when the phone is ringing. If the call is answered/ignored/stops ringing, the screen will be re-locked.
Q: Will it work with my phone?
A: This program has been confirmed to work on a few models. I believe that it should work on pretty much any touchscreen device running Windows Mobile. Please, try it and tell me if it works!

Kaiser (ATT Tilt)

this is a very usefull program.is there anyway to disable message screen when program start after softreset?thanks a lot in advance
It's unfortunate that I didn't create this program. I only found it through about six months of searching on the internet. Maybe a friendly XDA-Developer could write a similar program and keep it updated with new features!
As far as I know, there's no way to disable the message screen on startup. Just hit the X in the top right corner, and it should minimize out of sight.
As for if it works on a Diamond... go try it and tell me how it works!
Awesome program! Thanks
Looks interesting. Thx for sharing!

So what happens when a call comes? Does it lock the answer button too? And the screen?

Since it's the inbuilt Windows Mobile locking setup, when a call comes in, the phone is still locked, but the answer skin floats above the lock. So the screen "unlocks" so you can answer or reject the call, but it locks as soon as you answer or ignore it again.
I've discovered, using my Jade, that you can do the same thing by just setting the built-in Windows Mobile device lock to 0 minutes... You'd need to provide a password, though...
First press of the power button puts the phone to sleep... Press it again, it will ask for your password to unlock...
Hello, I have a HTC HD2 on Vodafone and have just downloaded and successfully installed the latest versions of cookies home tab and its editor.
When you see the countles videos people have uploaded online of people with their htcs, with the awesome little customised, cookies home tab screen, everything works perfectly.
My home screen by default is black and pretty blank, except it has a joint weather and time widget at the top of the screen. Pressing menu, edit home layout, i assumed would be the thing to do. When i do this, a screen just like i want appears, with the clasic big clock..and the quicklinks..and i can move/add/change everything as i want. I press done and this appears to be my new home screen.
However, whenever i attempt to scroll or move anything up and down on the screen, without reacting, it will just snap back to the original black screen i spoke about with the smaller widget at the top.
This means i cannot customise anything, for example the handy expansion of quicklinks..etc, as when i do, everything will just snap back to its default.
Like i said there are hundreds of videos online about this program but none running you from installation to customisation, so i dont know what to do!
Any help would be greatly appreciated to get me started with this program as its getting on my nerves...
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
I installed yesterday AmeriCanDroid on sd. It is a really good build.
I'm having only one problem: yesterday everything was perfect, but today I'm unable to add and remove widget form home by tapping on the screen. I can't also move the widget that are already on the home.
To add them, I have to click o tne "function" button and then click "add". Can't find a way to remove or move them.
Can you help me?
Thank you
Ehm... sorry... it was my fault... Solved.
Hey,
I have an HTC HD and love it. But I have a problem with screen.
When I push at the middle of the screen, it perceives the command wrong and acts like i push at the bottom of the screen. And when I push start button, it acts like I push the clock.
Aligning the screen from Settings menu works but only for 5 or 10 minutes, then it break itself down again.
What can I do ?
Thank you !

I have the same problem as mentioned above.
I downloaded it on to my pc then I put the zip file on my Touch HD straight into my root and even on my sd-card.
Whats next to do, when I clic on it it goes to zip mobile, at least in left corner of the screen it says so. I see a + mark and when I clic on it it colapse and then an other + shows up (CalibrationData folder) and then beneath CalibrationData.reg file.
So any smart guy or girl can help me out.
Grtz xxxware
There must be something in the air(waves)!
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075957
I've had nothing like this happen before, and not heard of it happening before, then all of a sudden three instances (like a bus).
I'll try this calibration data but my phone would let me calibrate now it won't, it's just gotten worse!
