Every time I have to enter PIN, then click OK to log in. It would be nice if the system logs me in without me clicking the OK button, like in iPhone. It is not a big deal, but it would be nice to have it.
Thanks for the hard work,

NVM, I just found out all I need to do is to check Quick Unlock option in the Lock Screen section.

I just thanked you for this one, since you can't thank your own posts on XDA. Also, very classy to leave your post up, along with the solution, so that others can find it via the search function. Welcome!

Hello,
The lock screen on my hero has the curved grey bar with time, date and operator on it. The problem is, the operator name "Virgin Mobile" won't fit. For some reason it wraps "Mobile" to another line and you can only see the tops of the letters.
Any way to change the look of the lock screen (for instance, to the stock Android lock screen)?
Or alternatively, can I remove that lock screen completely, since I use the pattern unlock as well, and it's annoying unlocking the lock screen then having to do the pattern lock as well?
Thanks in advance.
Until somebody techy give you a proper answer try this. Press menu twice to get past the curved bar lock screen (one to wake up & the other to unlock)

I haven't tried anything like that myself yet but there are two posts over in 'themes and applications' section which might be helpful for you, here and here.

I downloaded Flyscreen from the market place last night & it was pretty cool, It puts twitter, facebook, calender, sms, rss information on a new look lock screen. If you want to read about it first check the link out
http://www.myflyscreen.com/
I made this program in answer to a request in the HD2 General forum, but thought I should post it here.
It's a small app that toggles the display orientation back and forth to the rotation of your choice, without the need for the g-sensor.
The default installation includes the settings screen (available from your start menu), and the application itself, which is available via a long-hold of the call button. When the application is first installed, it defaults to standard landscape (the left of the phone being the bottom), but this can be changed via the settings screen.
BIG THANKS!! to vonski and Eldorado9 for their patience and testing. Thanks guys
Have fun
Note:
Manila doesn't like being forced into landscape, so you can't use this app for that - sorry. It works upside-down, just not sideways. (I've got a HD2 with Sense/Manila 2.5)
Also, I've only tested this on a WVGA device and would like to know how it works on other resolution devices, so please feel free to private message me with any feedback regarding this.
Change details (26/01/2010)
Removed the long_send link that was originally being installed in the Windows folder.
For some reason, when you press the call button to answer a call, it executes the long_send link, despite only being a quick send.
This only happens when there's an incoming call. I've removed this link from the installer, but you still execute the toggle with a long-hold of the call button.
NOTE: The installer will remove the long_send link from your windows folder.
Change details (13/01/2010)
Added the settings screen so there's now only 1 installer, instead of 3.
If you do have the previous version, you can simply delete it from the windows folder, or just leave it and install this one.
It will override the existing version's functionality, despite being able to install it on your storage card now.
Great Job!
John,
Great job and thanks for this. First thing that comes to mind is why did you not combine these into one programme so one can have the option to go left, right or upside down without having to install 3 separate apps?
If its not difficult to do and you can spare the time to do it then I would be very interested in a single combined app that I could run off my quicklinks.

Thanks again.

It actually is 1 program, but the shortcut (long_send) is different in each zip file, and that tells the app which direction to rotate the display.
This started because someone asked for an app that would put their display in landscape and then back again, with a long-hold on the call button. After I'd done that for them, someone else asked for the opposite direction. Whilst doing that I remember that someone had once asked how to change the display to upside-down, so I did that at the same time.
The main idea here is that you pick a default rotation, and then you only have a button press to toggle it on and off. Anything more than that would require a UI and therefore more interaction, and since I'm trying to keep interaction to a minimum, that sort of goes against the principle of it.
I'll have a think about it though, but I think what you're suggesting is a completely different application. I'm not against doing that, but it won't be part of the development of this.
Thanks for the suggestion mate
Ah ok, I see. Also understand the "minimalist" philosophy behind the development.
The way I would use a programme like this would be to have it as a quicklink on my front screen (I tend not to link things to hardware buttons) which would then give me the options of (L)eft, (R)ight or (U)pside Down. If that requires a UI (I guess it does) then don't go to all that trouble.
The problem with me is I don't always rotate my device the same way all the time (I'm weird like that) although upside down is a new one on me (I remember Tubgirl, I think, asking for that).
Cheers anyway.
WB
Very nice....it's much more convenient than using BSBTweaks and shaking it... Thanks!
Just a quick question:
I use the Standard Windows Hardware Button Assignment and mapped my internet browser button with "rotate Screen"...
now here for the question: Is it possible to write that app for other buttons too? 'cause i'd love to have multifunction on my browser button and your app is almost perfect for it^^ short press = Opera, long hold = rotate... that would be SO AWESOME!!!!
btw: your app is great as it is now.... it's just a question^^

Thanks for the comment
I think to do what you've suggested, you'd need something like AEButtons. I've never used it myself, but I believe you can assign different actions for long and short button presses to hardware buttons.
Hope this helps
Thanks thanks thank you very much
another key assignement
is it possible to assignt the exe not to long send button but to windows start button (u know that one in the middle in htc leo-next to home button)
tnx in advance.

You'll need to look at other software for that. Try AEButtons. It's not something I use myself, but I believe it will do what you want.
tnx for the fast replay...actually i started to use that toggle and it works fine with long press key.
eve bsb tweek cant rotate application screen on LEO but that toggle does it.
tnx

Version 2 will be coming soon, with a settings screen where you can select an orientation, rather than having 3 different downloads.
Thank you vry much.
thanks man!!

Many thanks for this, a very useful app

I never liked it the way it was, so I've done some work to give you a UI so you can select a rotation style for the application.
Hope this is better for you

Heh - They're far from honed! If it were a windows (PC) app I was building, I'd have no problems. I'm pretty nifty around windows on a PC, but mobile dev is pretty new to me, so I'm just picking it up as I go along. It's always good to find someone asking for something that makes me think "I could do that!"
Cheers for the comments mate - hope you like the new version

I'm new to Android with my myTouch, but I'm no stranger to mobile "hacking" being that I own a Tytn, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, and HD2. Is there an app or registry edit that'll give me a reset button of any sort? Preferably on in the "Phone Options" menu on a power key long press.
Thanx

Nothing that I know of but there's an app called "Quick Boot" that will present you with an option to reboot but only within itself, not on the long press.
All the other Android phones I've had you could hit Alt + Shift + backspace for an instant reboot, but for some reason doesn't work on the Slide. Not sure if there's a quick key combo for a reboot.
If you're rooted, maybe using Better Cut to create a shortcut for a terminal command to reboot? I could never figure out how to use Better Cut to do that though.
vol down+power+center optical trackball with give you an instant reboot.
If you are rooted, just use better terminal emulator andtype the comand "reboot" or "reboot recovery"
good to know, thanks!

Is it possible to disable the Lock screen altogether, or at least disable it when connected to your home wifi network? I've tried the "Unlock with Wifi" app but it doesn't seem to work on the S2

Eh? Ripple lock just added a 2nd level of lock (the opposite of what I'm looking for), and the 2nd link pointed to some irrelevant search results. Am I missing something??
No Lock ain't bad but no it won't unlock when connected to WiFi.

Is there a way to remove a vibration pattern I created.
Thank you
Eric
Googled only saw ways to create
Hold down on the vibration. It'll ask what you want to do.
Thank you Biz. The only option it is giving me is Rename.
I hope this isn't one of those kinks that I have to factory reset
I like stuff clean and this would drive me nuts. LOL
Thanks. I hope u can help more

Hmm. It gives me the option to delete.

Maybe you are hitting the category "create vibration" (or whatever its called..not near phone) and Not the vibration itself
