Running Evil Fascinate 3.6.
The idea of screen capture is kinda cool, but for me it's a nuisance I don't use intentionally. The times I accidently do it, it messes me up in the middle of something. How can I disable it? I want to make sure it won't screw up the camera or anything.

use titanium backup, go to backup/restore, scroll down to screencaptureservice (in red text), press and choose freeze. This disables it without uninstalling it.

I thought about that, but just wanted to make sure that's how to do it. Thanks!

I ment to delete the app next to it..and I clicked the wrong app...
And for the life of me i can't remember its name!
All it did was when you clicked it, it gave you a list..top I remember was end all task,a few down it had a favorite apps...
I believe it started with an A but I can't remember.

Hard to say. Worse case scenario flash back to stock and then reroot. Download rom manager and flash recovery and then you can backup your current rom and everything on it that way if you make a mistake moving forward you can always revert back instead of starting over. I learned that lesson the same way you did.
What did the app do? Do you remember that at least?
Sounds like a task manager.
maybe advanced task killer
It was similar to a task manager but that was not its main focus ..bah oh well I guess... If i remember the name I'll let you all know, its an amazing app.

when you opened the app.. a box/rectangle that was almost the same size as the screen would pop up but you could still see the background of either the app drawer or what ever screen you had the app on, in the box it would be a list of actions that the app could do, such as end all tasks... there was one that said favorite apps that you could put all your fav apps in instead of having your desktop flooded with apps. those are the only ones i remember, they are the only ones i ever used.
i found it just a few days ago... i saw a review or somthing that made mention of the app and i was all ehh ill check it out and i loved it! ugh its driving me insane now that i cant remember it..
Was it jkAppSwitch by any chance?
Maybe android mate...

Smart Bar. Also allows for you to kill mobile data, amongst many others, with a quick settings toggle. I am positive that that's your app.

I LOVE YOU! I spent hours trying to find it! You...i.... Words can not express how happy I am ha

I have always liked using go launcher but I recently started using sense instead. I love the weather lock screen. The only problem I am having is that I don't know anyway to save my configuration. So if I change ROM's I have to reconfigure all of my screens the way I like them. Is there a way to back up the way I have sense set up? If anyone knows how to do that I would be so excited to learn. Thanks for any help.

Just do a full nandroid backup with ROM Manager... It will save everything and you can revert right back to where you were... Restore it after playing with ROMS
I use Titanium Backup, and it will back up your Sense homescreen settings (widget/icon layouts and such) under "[WALLPAPER/SETTINGS] Settings 2.2.1." TB is an EXTREMELY helpful app, especially if you plan on doing a lot of flashing. It will let you easily backup and restore all apps, app data, messages, settings, and all of that other fun stuff. Definitely worth the $5 for Pro.
My backuppro works well for what you are describing.
Thanks. I have TB pro. I just didn't realize that it would save my screen configuration like that. Thanks for the help.

No prob!
What does everyone use when exiting apps, home button or back button?
It's my understanding that pressing the home button leaves the app running in the background so more battery would be used?

Back button to close app indeed.

I use back buton as home buton is waaaaaaaay too laggy.

Depends! If I want to check another app quickly then return I use home (multitasking). If I don't want to use again I always press the back button to kill the process.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Since they have different functionality, your question doesn't really make sense. You use both, depending on what you want to do.
Also, the back button doesn't kill the process, afaik there are cases when the application could remain still running.

Yep, messaging and the stock browser...there are others too...
I just stopped trying to close apps one way or the other. I just "do what i want" (e.g. surf to a website, check an app) and then leave the phone without exiting any apps. After some time I'll check the same site/service anyway, and if I want to do something else it's still just a few presses away.
Unlocked and rooted now and I'm seeing all those htc apps in the system app folder. How do we get those to show in the app drawer?
Thanks and of course apologies if this has been asked, I searched.

I'm not rooted but I used an app called Any Cut to make shortcuts for hidden apps on my desktop. Apparently if you use ADW Launcher or Go Launcher they show up and are accessible.
Both ADWLauncher EX and LPP Plus show all the apps, I'm not sure why Sense doesn't .......

Just using es file explorer will let you create a shortcut.

So how would you do this??
I don't have ADW installed right now (I had to have my phone replaced) but when I did it showed a CAMCORDER icon in the app drawer that could be used as a home screen shortcut.
With the totally stock ROM etc, it doesn't show up anywhere but if you hit the search button & type in camcorder it shows the icon & opens & works fine.
How would you create a home screen shortcut for camcorder with the stock Sense ROM??

Really? Hidden apps?
Can someone make a list of what all there is missing?

Can't guarantee this is everything:
Camcorder
Car panel
Dock mode
Mirror
Quick lookup
Got it from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367185&highlight=hiding
Thanks. That thread is nice and was what I was searching for.
Shortcuts are fine but I'm hoping to have them in the sense app drawer.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
someone posted a thread a while back saying something about a Sense config file that has all of the apps and whether they are to be shown or hidden. now that we have perm root i'm sure that we could modify that file now but i can't find the thread that talked about it.
Edit: found it:

Credit goes to "scrosler"
Thanks. I just tried to remove the line referring to the mirror, but it's still hidden from the drawer. I might/might not try some more but in the meantime I'll have to use search option.
Thanks again. This thread is useless other than the links to the other thread

did you reboot after modifying it? you might have to, or you might have to clear the cache, or hell, you might have to do a data wipe before it takes effect
for us unrooted folk, how do we make shortcuts from ES?

That's good advice. I'm not home now but I did reboot. Clearing cache sounds like a good attempt. I'm going to be trying that!
Clearing cache wasn't enough.. I'll be trying data wipe later.
And.... Clearing cache and data wipe was a no go. Already had to do a restore and it's nice to know CWMs workin

I wasn't able to figure that out. How do we do that with es? I just get a shortcut to the apk not the app.

I recently reflashed CM7 and I remember being able to long press the back button to force close an app. I can't find this in settings, could someone tell me where it is. Also, I now have a clear button on the bottom of my notifications. How would I remove this

Ummm, the "Clear" button? As in translucent? I didn't know the X2 had a clear button.
I have power, volume up and down, menu, home, back, and search.

There is a button that says clear in the pull down status bar when there are notifications

Ah! Got it! Yes, that is to clear all temporary notifications. Like email and text message notifications (there are many, many more that flash a notification to the status bar).

Yes, but it's annoying. How would you go about removing it.
One other question. The 3g tethering in CM7, is that through the carrier. Will Verizon change me for using this, our do I need to use a separate app to get around fees.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
No, it's not through Verizon. If it were, it would take you to there sign up page when you use it. I doesn't. Will they catch you if you use it? Who knows. I don't imagine you'll draw any more attention if you use it than you would with any other tether app. My guess is, if you don't go crazy with it you'll be just fine. Could be wrong though. Personally, I don't worry about it. But then, I only use it when it's absolutely necessary.

How could we go about removing the clear button? One way is to open your notifications...ie: text, email, etc... The other way to remove it completely would be to disconnect from mobile data/wifi/internet... An easier way could be to smash your phone, but I don't suggest that...lol
What is annoying, the notifications or the buttons???
