B&B 4 - X Button issues

Hey Everyone.
Im having some problems with the XButton in toms new B&B 4.
It seems really uggy, when i try to press it with my thumb to close apps down, it just doesnt close things at all and acts like i did not press the button. But when i press it with the stylus, it works everytime.
Sometimes, when i press the x button when in programs such as contacts etc, it thinks that i just clicked the menu button in the bottom right, or starts thinking iv clicked on a contacts name. But again, when i tap x with the stylus, it works fine.
It seems to me that the "touchable" area of the x button is set to a small "stylus" sized touch. Not a larger thumb sized touch?
Anyone else with this problem?

same problem

read thru the B&B 4 thread. This issue of the X button has been addressed.

Ok - Read through the thread, even used search but could not find anyone stating this was fixed?
Could anyone point me to a post? I genuinly have looked through the thread.

Possibly solved this.
I downloaded and installed the latest HTC X-Button 1.51.
This *so far* has seemed to solve the x button issue.
The HTC X-Button 1.51 is attached, just copy to your device and run it.

Yep this has pretty much solved the x button issue for me.

In B&B 4 in the X Button options is selected by default "End programs by tapping and holding X". If you change the option to "End programs by tapping X" should be ok.

Hey
No it wasnt that. It just wasnt letting me tap the x button at all with my thumb. like i said, it worked fine with the stylus.
Anyways, updated to xbutton 1.51 and it seems to have done the trick.

hi mates!
i have flashed the B&B 4.0 fom tom_condon (Great Great work dude!!!!) and updated the htc X-Button to the last version and have a problem:
some of the icons of top right of the screen just disapear. You can't see them but they still there (you can tap them).
Take a look to the screenshot and you will see what I mean (because if you have to understand my english, you're in big troubles )
thnx in advance
P.D. Sorry again for my poor english

whats xbutton version?
The one i posted? You should soft reset the device after installed.

Tab scrolling in HTC Home 2.1.1005722

Greetings-
I had been a Schap's 4.01 user, as it came out a day or so after I got my 8525. I recently upgraded to 4.22, and love it, but I have found what most people probably consider an enhancement is driving me nuts.
In 4.01, and thus the old HTC Home, the scroll wheel did not scroll through the HTC Home tabs. Now, in HTC Home 2.1.1005722, it does. This basically means I show my ringer settings (right most HTCH tab) at the top of my screen every time I scroll down to check my other today plugins, and it's kinda ruining a simply great ROM for me.
I mentioned this in the 4.22 thread, and said I'd check out HTC Home Customizer - it has a Lock HTC Home option, but it doesn't seem to fix my gripe either way when set. I figure that thread isn't getting much action now because of the 4.30 release, so I'd make my own thread, as this may affect others using HTC Home and being picky about their home layout.
Is there a registry key I'm missing that controls this, or a way to downgrade just HTC Home back to the version included in Schap's 4.01?
Thanks to the schapmeister and the forum gurus-

Hi, had same prob. but is strangly gone now.
Don't know the real fix (Also want it),
but I changed the order of the Tabs round
a few times and now it does not scroll anymore. (Yipee!!!! )
At the moment I have my Tabs set like this:
Home->Favorites->Launcher->Weather->Music
with NO scrolling, only touch screen.
Please PM me if you somehow find the REAL fix.

Hmm, I will keep trying it, but even this temp fix isn't getting me quite there.
There was one config i found that only scrolled through 2 tabs, but then i didnt like the order of them to touch

[THEME] Iphone for WAD2 by Mallman v 2.1 NOW WITH LANDSCAPE MODE!!!

Available at www.swampthing.net

Reserved for future use

reserved for future use

Looks great, will give it a try (and your carbon theme) when i finish with all the family Christmas fun.
Hopefully i will get some free time soon to get stuck into themes myself. Need to send the wife and kid on holiday for any chance of that though!

lol metal thats funny. Well when you get the chance please report back what you liked and what you didn't like about the install instructions, theme functionality and anything else you think I could have done better.
best of luck with the family and happy holidays!!

Just had a quick (i mean quick as well) look at the ipod theme.
GREAT THEME
Just a couple of things for the install instructions that might help people new to WAD.
You may not hace a themes folder in Wisbar folder, just create one.
To get to seetings in point 1, touch and hold anywhere on the screen.
Can i confirm that to unlock you just slide left to right. It got me sweating a bit when i thought my phone was locked with no way to get in. Tapping the screen like a nutter
Just going to have a look at your other theme now.
Would these be easy enough to make as a landscape version as well?

great feedback!!!!! updated the install instructions in post 1 and in the download.

Iphone theme
Hi Mallman
greatlooking theme - I am very new to WAD2 it looks like its got an amazing amount to give to HD owners.
How can I change the links to my own programs ie tomtom etc want to keep the icons but keep getting an error, did I say I was NEW to this !!
cheers
Jon

JPW,
If you access the menu (tap and hold on screen) and select 'author mode'
After that, tap and hold over the icon you want to change and change the link it has to the program

exactly right, and actions assigned to icons, text or anything else are known as "scripts". added to FAQ by the way

Great work on this and other themes Mallman! A question though, it seemed that the 'lock' button just refers to a page with a lock on it, and this page in turn refers back to the starting page of the theme.
Is it possible to have this button actually lock your device? Because locking my device also locks my volume buttons because I got so anoyed with constantly changing volume while i carry the device around.
Thx again for the work you are putting into this!

it probably is. In fact if you are running S2U2 (which I am not and dont really like) you could link the red lock icon to S2u2 and eliminate that start page altogether. Let me go see what can be done using only windows locking function. I just dont like using third party locking programs. Seem to cause me more headache than anything for answering the phone lol.
ps. thanks for your kind words as well.

Yeah I don't like the third party locking either. And although you can lock the phone with the powerbutton for some reason i also want the option to use the default software lock.
When i have some time on my hands I will venture into WAD2 themes myself, I'm decent with designing and so far understand the things possible with WAD2 (quite alot!).
Also something you might want to include in your starting posts is that these themes are made for WWE roms. I'm running a Dutch rom myself so basicly not a single button works on installation, not that i mind because its quite easy to replace them with the 'dutch links'.

ok after much research, the only thing I can get to work without using a third party locking app is to lock the device my shutting the screen off. This serves the exact purpose you are referencing. What it doesn't do is require an unlock, just have to press the top power button to turn on. I really love this feature now and it keeps the door open for those who want to install the third party apps. I have delete the lock page now so version 1.3 will have this feature with the useless lock page deleted. thanks for the input
and for everyone's knowledge, You cant call the lock function of the phone with an executable file. Seems it is in a dll somewhere and i just dont feel like messing with all of that

In addition to this and the Carbon Fibre themes, because I moved all of the exe's from the Programs folder into sub folders such as Entertainment, System Tools, Productivity, then none of the start links work. However, if you go into Author mode, press and hold, then select Properties, you can change the script application/link and Bob is your Aunt's husband
Good work.

lmoa, bob...
yes that is correct. I will be releasing a new version of Carbon Fiber tonight with a new system sliding doc attached to the start button instead of the start menu. this eliminates the dependency on WA3. I have also removed the "locked" page because 2 new buttons appear on the slider which can lock/turn off your screen and soft reset. A new analog vs digital clock function has been installed which makes the clock act as the TF3D clock does when you slide your finger up or down (switching from analog to digital). But look for that tonight

Excellent. I have now managed to change the order of the pages Home > Contacts > Calendar > Weather > Apps > Home which means the most used pages are a single slide left or right from the front page.
You are right about putting things down on paper otherwise it turns into a nightmare trying to work out where you are. Several times I got caught in a loop and had to use the 'home' button to get back to the desktop.
Regards

Hi,
Very nice theme !!
Gloc, how do you can for that that tips Home > Contacts > Calendar > Weather > Apps > Home ?
Best regards

HTC Home on epix

These instructions helped me install HTC home, I've tried a lot of cabs and this one works perfect. This is for those who still like the look, hehe. The only problem is that HTC Home Customizer wont display properly, is there anything I could modify to make it work for a 320x320 screen?

Speed up your Hero (Kill Rosie)

Hi All,
I think this deserves a new thread but if I'm wrong, sorry mods..
Anyway, I'm exceedingly happy with my Hero and although I never thought it was particularly slow or laggy I have encountered a bug which has actually sped up my handset. I long pressed the home button to get the recently run apps list up and a message popped up asking me if I wanted to complete the action using Touchflo or Home. I chose home and the phone took me to a screen with my wallpaper but none of my HTC widgets and only three home screens. Since this happened the phone has been zooming along. I have not felt the need to try to restore touchflo at all, although I do miss the toggle widgets.
As a bonus I have also noticed that a lot of the Apps from the market that had been Force Closing are now working perfectly. Maybe this won't matter after the update, but if you feel your Hero is laggy you could try this.
Hope this helps.

Are you still able to use the hero music player or does it default to the android player now?

I can still use the hero music player and it is still shown on screen when the screen is locked.

you still use any app the same way you would normally it just brings the home screen back to the basic g1/magic look....

I was thinking of doing this , but really losing the htc widgets is not a solution , so I stopped the google automatic sync , and now the phone is actually fast and there is no lag .

tried yesterday....loosing the 7 screen layout + widgets slows me down much more than TouchFlo slows the Hero down :/ IMO, not worth it :/

I don't think it's a bug. You can do this by holdning down the home button. When the tasklist shows, you press the home button again. From here you can choose to use eather "Android HOME" or "TouchFLO". and you can do the same thing from Android HOME, so it's not permanent! Try it! Play around!

I used to be able to do this but I must have inadvertently changed something and now I can't access the Android Home anymore. I'm quite disappointed since I want to go to the Android Home page to test some things.
So beware. you could potentially lose this function.

u guys. to enable android home page. jusy go to settings-applications - from there go to touch flo and clear defaults.
go back to your home screen and press the home button now. u would be able to choose between android and touch flo from there.if you want to select something as default .... just tick it and there u go.
same thing applies for the android page, if you have selected it as default and want5 to revert back to touchflo. samething, setting-application- clear defaults in the home application .................etc etc,

Yeah, I also removed Rosie, and I gotta say, I really like the Hero now!
Rosie slowed the Hero to a crawl, now it's running again.
I'm eagerly waiting for the update, but if the Rosie update isn't significant, I'll probably end up removing it again..
Losing the HTC widgets is a bummer, but the speed-up it gave me is SO worth it

cant find it
I keep pressing the home and get the choice of recent programs but pressing the home again gets me to home. Secondly, In settings and application I dont get any such option for touch flo etc. Any other way of trying out the phoe without touchflo?

I second that.. Is there anyway to work around that..?

bar control or home switcher should do the trick....
bar control allows you to add a shortcut to home or touchflo on the notification bar permanently, and home switcher just jumps between the two i believe.
