Pleassseee???

Does anyone have a home .apk with 3 screens like the default that works with damage .7? i did search any help is appreciated...

Well, there's Launcher+ in the market that looks exactly like the stock android launcher and has some nice functionality. IF you want the real stock launcher you can always pull it out of a 2.1 rom that has it and push it to your phone

You can also deodex it from the emulator.

Thank you i'm searching roms as we speak

you should have it on your phone. of you are trying to use it...go to manage applications and clear the default for HTC sense

If you go to Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications and scroll down to HTC Sense, you can click on it and hit "clear defaults". The next time you press the home button, you can choose Sense or the stock Android homescreen with 3 screens.

2 Questions

1. Is there a decent spell checker for Android, I'm used to typing very fast so I was used to my spell checker on my iPhone changing words correctly for me for when I made mistakes, such as 'hir' instead of 'him' etc etc, it worked so well and was just wondering if Android had a good one?
2. How to I delete an icon on my home screen, I know how to delete icon's that I've put there but the one that came with my device I'm not sure For example, phone, contacts, messages, applications.
Thanks

I do not have the phone yet but I believe the four buttons at the bottom (phone, contacts, messaging and applications) cant be removed, they are a part of touchwiz unfortunately. There is a way to get rid of all of them, if you use a launcher such as launcher pro.

Good to know. Now that I know that, if you remove one of the icons from the 'dock' do the others center themselves?

Trust me. When you start to get the hang of swype, you will never ever need another spell checker ever.

Right, Swype, although not new, is really great. Kind of get addicted to it.

How do I do that?

Yes Android has spell checker and had it for a long time and it's really really great. I understand you I do so many mistakes because i type so fast but I know it will correct them so i just keep typing faster xD

Go into the applications menu, hit settings and then edit, there you can alter the placement of the applications as well as the four in the dock.

Is there any way to remove just the widgets I've put on the home screen without removing the whole home screen which will include all my shortcuts?

of course, simply tap and hold the widget and drag it down to the recycle bin. same as when you want to remove an shortcut icon.

[Q] Swipe gesture to replace Back key?

Hi,
Just a suggestion, a module that can use a swipe gesture to stimulate the Back key would be really cool. I worry that I might wear the Back key out.

Hahahahh, good one, well, if you wear an back button out, you can use key remaper to make another button behave as back button XD Just like i did with my worn out Power button, remaped it to camera button XD

Can you kindly teach me how to do that?
Thank you.

[Q] 2(two) rosie.apks

So after hours of reading on different threads for push/pulling with ADB I finally decided to give it a go.
Decided, hey I like the transparent look of the launcher and found this awesome rosie.apk that does just that.
So using adb I pushed the new rosie.apk to my system/app. Little did I realize that the existing Rosie.apk was spelt with a capital R.....
I am curious, will this cause system instability/conflict with the existence of 2 rosie.apks?

Hmm.. You have 2 launchers now, which means - pressing "home" might ask you, which one you want to use. One will be transparent and one not. Not sure if there will be any negative parts beyond that.

no it shouldn't. did it work though even though you didnt capitalize the R?

Yes it did.
I have a transparent launcher key, and the apps menu is 5x4 and also transparent. Nothing out of the ordinary happens when I press the home key either. So I suppose we will see if anything does happen.
Thanks Jack thanks Mackster

[Q] Softkeys to save the hardkeys?

Hi there!
If this was answered, then I don't know how to search, delete this thread.
Let me approach this problem from a different angle.
I have used a lot of ROM since I have this beauty.
What I would like is an option to install softkeys on any ROM.
You probably used ROMs that come with this feature out of the box.
What I want is to be able to install, flash, enable it if we can.
I do not know why can't we have this, is it a feature problem, the ROM I am using can't be modded this way or no offense, is it the Developer's lack of knowledge in this matter or what else?
So please, I just want to understand this if I can't have what I want then why is that? Just a simple answer.
But if I could do it, please direct me to the correct post.
Thanks a lot.

To search the HD2 formus specifically, click on the link in my signature.
As far as I know, you can enable soft keys on any ICS an JB ROMs. On lower, you may be able to find that option under "Cyanogen Settings" if you have a cm ROM(GB).
Otherwise, use any of the softkeys apps available like "zMooth" (this is not the best, but it's what came to my mind now)

Thanks for your reply Marvlesz.
The problem is that my ROM is a Sense UI ROM from Boxmax.
This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256423
So this is a GB ROM, not ICS or JB.
I am using zMooth but that is not the same as real softkeys.
So I am still waiting for a complete answer why is this not possible in my case.

A quick search on that thread, and this came up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33147402&postcount=2826
Sorry, I don't use softkeys and I'm not knowledgeable in them.
Edit: A more general search gave this: http://androidandsandu.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-add-virtual-softkeys-navigation.html

Well as I see it it can't be made.
That is why Boxmax didn't implement it in his ROM's.
These ROM's are 2.3.5 and your 2nd links post says it needs 2.3.6
So thanks a lot for your help.
If anyone else comes up with an idea I hope they gonna share it here.

Also, use "navigation bar" and / or "nav bar" in your search term,and you may get different results to try.

Or, you can try "Button Savior" from Google Play..

Sorry, but button savior is not an option.
What I really would like is the buttons to be placed at the bottom of the screen, as part of the sistem.
Like the ones you can see in many ICS ROM's.

Okay, but it works well over most roms. I had it on Typhoon Gingerbread ROM on the bottom.

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean - perhaps you could explain in your native tongue?
You seem to be looking for the 3 soft keys on the bottom on a sense rom. Did I misunderstand?
I don't really know why you cannot use CM type navigation nor do I understand why Button Savior will not work for you. BS could place 3 or 4 or 5 buttons on the bottom, hide them or not, in different styles. I take it you have not actually tried it, right? Whatever.. Good luck in your search!

It is how you said it. I am looking for the 3 soft keys on the bottom of the screen but what I want is to be as it is in that screenshot.
Part of the sistem, not a 3rd party app.
The difference is that a 3rd party app is going to hover on the sistem UI and what I showed you is part of the ROM so it has its own space down at the bottom so anything else in the ROM's UI is resized so the softkeys can fit in.
Do you understand me now?
Nontheless, thanks for your help.

AW: [Q] Softkeys to save the hardkeys?
Hi,
I don't know if the following tip works with you ROM... try it... I use Xylos great ROM "PACman" and both works..
Enable Navigation Bar:
Use following settings:
ROM Control -> Navigation Bar -> Navigation Bar width = more than 0dp
In some ROMs, you may do it in one click. Add only a shortcut to the home screen: Shortcuts -> AOKP Actions -> Toggle Navbar.
Cheers
Klaus

In short I don't think it's possible.
Softkeys were introduced into AOSP from honeycomb onwards as they were bring out devices (at that time tablets) without hard keys, with the softkeys being turned on/off with one line in build.prop. There are some gingerbread builds that have a form of softkeys, but these are all CM7 (calling it something like tablet tweaks), and this was done by the Cyano Devs by taking some of the honeycomb code and baking it into the system. Sense builds especially gingerbread ones I don't think will see softkeys as part of the system. Although feel free to prove me wrong and point out a GB Sense ROM (for any device) that has softkeys.

find build.prop and add the line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end.
Google 'editing build.prop'

Yes, I see why you are looking for that. It is interesting that I was looking for the opposite - a third party app - for essentially the same but opposite reasons: when the keys took a permanent portion of screen real estate some apps didn't work because they expected the full screen. Everything worked with the addon app.
We each have different needs and wants I suppose.

Well I had 2 ROM which hosted from start the softkeys at the bottom.
I only had 2 problems.
One was IGO Primo which couldn't be used in landscape mode and the other one was Swype which after each reboot said that the resolution is unknown but it was still working.
All the games and full screen apps worked fine for me the ROMs were fast and reliable.
What I needed was Sense. And as I can see no Sense ROM has softkeys and I know now why.
HypoTurtle explained it.
But we can still hope to a solution but right now I am gonna stick to 3rd party apps.
So thanks a lot again for the tips and help.

Not really what you were asking but Button Saviour works good for me. Same here about only seeing the buttons when you want and no permanent screen area loss. My 2c
