Well so far I love the phone eventhough it feels kind of weak. But I have some few questions on upgrading, usually im good with searching but i guess not this time. So im looking for a way to make things more finger friendly like menus etc, making them able to scroll instead of using a sylus and if possible using T9 on when not using the keyboard. What do you all suggest?
I just got mine too... I have sprint so I started with the Sprint wm6.1 update.
So far I've installed:
s2u2 (slide to unlock)
htc home plugin (you want this)
s2p (audio player)
s2v (picture viewer)
oxios memory
Look at my thread in this section called sprint mogul must haves, alot of good stuff was suggested there
the gullum diamond keyboards are awesome. i use the diamond keypad for T9 while i'm driving. its awesome. link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197
Great! Now how can I make the start and stuff like that more finger friendly?
So I installed the home customizer and now the screen flip is not at the bottom anymore but in the customizer but when I use it in the customizer it turns the screen the wrong way. What do i do?
Nevermind I did a hard reset. One last thing is when the slider is open do all yours have a movement in the slider when you tap on the screen?
Guys,
I've searched for a while to find a simple Alt-Tab alternative for HD2.
I've found various .cabs, but none seem quite right.
There's the 'Alttab' cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357227&page=2
But for the life of me I just can't seem to assign it to a button, and even if I did, I think it would just open the .exe file rather than Alt-tab (the thread is pretty old as well).
I would like to use 'Touch X longpress sendkey Alt tab', but I already use that button for screen rotation, which I like.
The Rom I use has a dropdown TaskBar at the top, which allows me to switch inbetween open programs, so I have a workaround, I was just wondering if there was a cab that allowed for the classic Onscreen Windows Alt-tab functionality. Or if someone could confirm that the 'Alttab' .exe actually works on a HD2 and it's just my implementation that is wrong.
Thanks in advance!

was going to say that the Touch X longpress is fantastic at what you want. i find it indispensable. i suppose you could always cook up your own action screen?

Hi
I use LMT. it lets you do multiple actions by simply painting a gesture on your screen with single or multi touch. I have double right and left gestures to swap between next and previous apps. Search for LMT in xda hd2 forums. it is an awesome program. give it a try.
Thanks guys for your responses, I'll look into both your ideas.

Tried LMT and can't seem to geet it to work. I launch it, I see LMT in the top left menu bar, but as soon as I touch the screen it disappears. and nothing happens.
Any ideas?

that sounds awesome. how did you manage to configure lmt to switch between previous and next app? which program do you use for app-switching? i use double down to bring up my showroom taskmanager.
I just downloaded Touch x Longpress. Can somebody explain to me how exactly this works?
Thanks

install to device.
open a couple of programs.
now, hold down the call (green) button for 2 sec. a screen will pop up with all your running programs. touch which one you want to go to.
I can't seem to find where to set the 3D depth setting anywhere other than in the Spiderman game.
Also where the heck did the arrow keys to move the cursor on the keyboard go? They had it on the regular EVO, I can't for the life of me figure out why they would remove them. If anyone knows how I can put the old EVO keyboard on this phone please let me know. I assume I will have to wait for root.
And I miss the flashlight. LED light is getting me by, but I liked the varying brightness of the HTC flashlight app.
Love the phone, but these things are bugging me worse than sand in my shorts.
And one mote thing, on the old EVO I was able to delete multiple e-mails by hitting the menu button the Delete the selecting the messages I want to selete. Now I can only delete individual messages.
Does anyone remember the old g1 or the first mt3g phones how they had that lock screen it was a square and you had to press menu to unlock it? You know old school androids. Well I'm looking for one to put on here on my mt4g but I cant locate one. Is there even a mod developed for that to be possible?
Thanks in advanced!
..... Mr. Hammy ......
you aren't going to find anything like that style unless you use minimalistic text on widget locker to give something of that look and turn on menu unlock so menu will unlock the phone. but there is a reason why they changed to a real lock screen, the android 1.5 lock screen was bad. just being able to press menu caused alot of accidental unlocks and pocket dials.
Hmm I see well that's quite disappointing. I like the look of that. Reminds me of the old days when it only took 3 swipes to reach the end of the entire app library lol.
Well if anyone sees anything like that or makes one please send that my way?!
Thanks for your responce btw.
.... Mr. Hammy ....
Though I am not a developer, I think it would be nice to start a thread for ideas to be thrown out on what people would like to see in development for the EVO LTE so developers can get an idea of MODs and features this community is interested in. Not that every single feature/MOD should be in one single ROM, but just an idea of what MODs have interest. I think I make sense.
This list reflects my suggestions as well as member's posts through this thread as of 5/31/12.
While the phone is locked, pushing the dedicated camera button for XX amount of seconds wakes the phone and opens the camera app, but doesn't necessarily unlock the phone
Quicksettings/Quick settings tab in notification area
Ability to place the 1x1 widgets (such as Sync All) into the Rosie
A MOD for a curved, classic EVO 4G Rosie
Increase the transparency of HTC widgets
A MOD to create a white pull down notification area as opposed to the black space
Multitasking "issue" to be resolved
A MOD to force the screen to stay locked after a call ends
Tthe ability to adjust the notification volume separate from the main ringtone volume
Get rid of the app association feature
Volume wake
CRT Animations
Long press volume keys to skip a track forward and back in Music apps
Ubuntu development
Other interests?
I'd like to get a mod to force the screen to stay locked after a call ends. If you're talking hands free with phone in pocket, it will unlock when your call ends. Should be a straightforward fix to force lock after call if screen is off.
someone to dig through the android code change from GB to ICS and see wtf Google changed that borked the ability to adjust the notification volume separate from the main ringtone volume...I'd LOVE to have that back....from what ive been told it isn't in stock ICS nor is it even able to be controlled via 3rd party apps on devices running 4.0.X like they could in GB and previous versions...
^^^^^^ agreed.
And how to get rid of the black menu bar and incorporate longpress for menu somehow.
Lastly, (well, for now, lol)
Brightness slider in notification bar (may have to wait for AOSP for that), but actually, it was something else, oh, yeah, how to get rid of the damn app association feature that HTC had to develop to get around apple patent BS. I've read that simply removing htclinkify.all does not accomplish this. I hate what apple forced on Android.
Oh, and CRT animations.

Would be nice to be able to adjust the auto-brightness levels like Cyanogen.

I for one have 0 problem with that feature and actually like it better now than it was before. the way it is now at least offers us more customization over the previous...no?....
Long press volume keys to skip a track forward and back.... CRT animations.... and The HTC Shortcuts and Clock widget!

There is an app that takes care of it already, actually:
ICS Enhanced Ringer
Like most people, I'd like to see the recent apps button become the menu button and get rid of the damn triple dot bar. The recent apps should be a long press of the home button like it was on the OG EVO.
Now, if I'm dreaming big dreams, this is what I really, really want:
I want Ubuntu for Android on my EVO. The demos I've seen so far have Ubuntu activated when the phone docks, but who needs that when you have HTC Media Link. I envision hooking a media link up to a monitor, and pairing it with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (maybe a DLNA hard drive). Obviously you'd have to manually launch the Ubuntu desktop, but in that case, you could even have a popup option that offered you Ubuntu desktop, or the Ubuntu TV interface.

Good luck watching YouTube videos in the YouTube app when they're posted as a link. Chrome often launches the YouTube app when trying to play a video, but isn't always consistent. It's an improvement over the stock browser... But I'd rather it launch the app than try and render it on the page. If we get prompted, we can pick every action as they occur, or even leave some options open so you can use a couple different apps for one choice (ergo, click a phone number and add it to contacts/call the number/send that number a text message. I like that much more. I imagine most do too.

Do you mean the app association? If so, how do you figure? I really like when I click on a link, when it asks me if I want YouTube or browser. Right now, I'm not allowed to change anything. Defaults are set, and I don't get a choice. A total Fn joke, in my opinion. I can only imagine many others agreeing (unless I'm missing something)

I'm not arguing against you, but I can't agree that you have no choice.

No. In my defaults, I see no other choices. For links it says browser. No option for YouTube (even though I wouldn't want to pick it because of course some links shouldn't open with YouTube). IDK, am I missing something?
Edit: I know, buddy. You and I have been on the same page on lots of stuff

check the dev sections this is already done!
These are great and I believe very plausible.
Some of these features have already been done

Okay I get the frustration with youtube....but seriously do you go to youtube and watch a ton of vids every day?
If they added youtube as one of the association types and let you pick youtube app or browser that would solve that...
still able to long press on phone number in your address book and send text message...you couldn't go directly to text message form a phone number from within gmail email message before from what I can tell on my 3D...though it takes no time to long press and copy it then go to messages and send that copied number a txt...

48hr preview?.....ehh ill pass on that esp at $3 for full version....I love supporting Dev's for their work but $3 is wayyy too high for that small added feature i'd be getting out of it...
