Standard Android Call Answer Screen... - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to get the standard android answer screen for answering a call as personally i really dislike the HTC one, all i know is its in the HTCDialer.apk
If i delete this apk then i get the standard answer screen which is ace but the phone button on the homescreen doesn't work anymore which i would quite like to keep...
Any suggestions much appreciated as im in over my depth here and not really sure what else to try...

You would need to use an alternative launcher. The phone button on the HTC Dock will be linked to the .apk you are deleting.

buggar was hoping the file could be tweaked
Quite like sense was hoping to keep that...

There are very similar docks and themes you can get for launcher pro.

Swype + HTC Keyboard

Ok I seriously love swype in portrait mode it's just so much easier to use but that said it lacks many keys that the stock HTC keyboard has. So my question is, if there is anyway to use Swype when in portrait mode and then when you switch to landscape have it change to the HTC Keyboard?
Not that I know of, but that's a great idea!
I second that motion!!!!
I would assume the only way would be to make a script or app to make it switch...I don't think android supports switching like that. :/
That really is a good idea. It does not sound like it should be too hard to write. Lets make it happen. I will look into it when I have some spare time.
Does each keyboard apk not have different subprograms or something for each orientation? Seems like you could make a hybrid apk with each keyboard for one orientation. Maybe not.
totally wrong section for this.
Any progress on this?

[Q] How to change incoming call screen - Sense

Hi,
I there any way to change the default incoming call screen, when the phone is locked? The problem is that when someone calls me, and the phone is in my pocket.. the process of taking it out often involves reject or answer, while the phone is still in the pocket .
I've tried some dialers, but it seems that this is a part of htc sense.
If i can divert to standard android behavior it will help too .
Regards
Tried the App; Full Screen Caller ID ?
Yes I tried it, but its not a replacement of the default call screen .

same problem here!!
I think you have to use an other phone.apk or dailer. Then remove the htclockscreen.apk.
I wanted something similar. Just remove the htc stuff and use as only lock screen the unlock' pattern and not the htc or stock lockscreen!
I got same problem here.

Likewise, upon searching for a solution... none is found... I would very much like to use CM roms but i miss the Sense T9 dictonary... thats the reason i used Leedroids... if only cooked roms are able to change the HTC dialer to the stock ones...
There are dialer apps in the market with t9. Use one of those with cyanogenmod.

I don`t understand why Google didn`t implement t9 dialer already :/ Are there any patent`s for this? :/ Stock Android dialer sucks! aTakePhone is the best so far as I know (apart of SENSE of course )
I dont use the HTC lockscreen i removed it from the rom before install (using Revolution HD rom removed with RomCleaner)
I also removed the htcdialer.apk which does revert the phone back to the standard android answer screen (so much better imo) but your back on the android dialer and the main phone button on the homepage doesn't work either if you can live with that then just remove the htcdialer.apk.
I didn't use the phone to long without the htcdialer.apk so not sure if there are other issue's also...

Okay i did this but i must be doing something wrong...
I used Titanium Backup to remove the htc dialer ( i get repeated F/C for android core process)
Pulled out the battery.
After restart, pressing the dialer button/icon have no effect
Downloaded and used launcher pro, no effect either
downloaded Dialer one, docked it with launcher pro.. works like charm
BUT!!! When i called my own phone, im still getting that stupid HTC answer screen where u slide up and down instead of stock androids left and right...

Hmm i have been scouring the net and i seem to hit something...
If my searches is correct, the answer call slide screen is tied to the HTC Framework... Coz phones like Samsung galaxy in order to revert to the stock android lockscreen, they have to replace one of their framework files... policy something IIRC...
So wondering if any dev could look into the framework and do some editing/mods/changes?

hi,
I am having the same problem, really dont like the HTC sense screens but want to keep the stock rom as i get free turn by turn nav with my provider.
I have removed the lockscreen, so it revets to vinilla, but really want to change the slide down to answer screen?
has anyone looked into the last posed question?
It is incorporated into Sense.. No way to have a stock unlock screen and Sense ROM together...
U will have to get back to stock with scripts like "no-sense" and remove stuff from the rom after flashing it.. Or just install CM rom..
OR, this is maybe a walk around which i use it sometimes:
1. Install standard ROM with sense,
2. Install WidgetLocker
3. Set it up the way you like it
4. Choose an option to "hide the caller screen"
5. So, when it rings, you have to use the slider to unlock the screen, and then you have the sense slider (up to decline, down to answer)
This prevents to answer and gives you extra options when locked..
Hope this help.

I have gone back o Launcher Pro Plus and now instead of the htc sence slider for incoming call I get a green answer and red decline button to press.
It seems better to me but might not suit everyone.
I decided to switch back to Sence to see how things stood.
Low and behold I still have the same answer screen as I had with L.P. full screen, caller ID, and the two buttons red/green.
Don't know what I did wrong but I am glad I did.
I searched a few hours for a solution of this problem and finally found one i will try now.
The App I installed is called HD Caller ID and is free.
So for you, looking for a solution try this App. Maybe it´s good for your belongings.

[Q] How do I MOD a piece of an exsisting ROM?

Hi,
I'm wondering if someone could help me with a MOD'ing question/request. I am running the Sprint Lovers ROM (which I just love) but there is one thing that I'd like to change...
This ROM is pretty much stock, aside from a few changes (very good ones actually), but I just can't stand the layout for the launcher/dock bar. Basically, I want to remap the buttons from APP DRAWER/PHONE/ADD+ to PHONE/APP DRAWER/MESSAGES.
There is an .apk based on the LauncherPro home replacement app which allows the user to do exactly what I'm wanting to do; however, I want the changes to be made at a permanent level (and I really like the page slider thing that slides smoothly over the hump as opposed to the one from the LauncherPro version). I don't want to use a home replacement app.
I've seen some MOD's that allow the user to flash a file which will make similar changes but the MOD's I've found do not match exactly what I'm looking to do - so I'm curious to know how I can go about getting the desired results with as little pain as possible, lol.
**update** Would it be possible to extract the installed "launcher" and simply replace it with the LP SENSE UI as the built in "launcer" ?
Thanks in advance!

Help for my father's new DI2

My father upgraded from the OG Droid, and his only problem right now is when he hits the dialer button, HTC's got that strange half dial pad / half recent contacts screen.
I've tried a few random fixes myself, using launcherpro or other apps, but can't seem to get it to work. Can't turn off Sense any more either, like the previous DI, so I am just asking if anyone knows any other ways, short of rooting and flashing?
launcher pro and other laucnhers like go launcher should do the trick to cover up sense..

A 3rd party launcher will not change the phone app.
oh the OP was referring specifically to the phone app.. my mistake.
Have you looked at any of the alternative dialers on the market? That's were I would think to start. I did a quick look and most seem to also have the divided screen but hopefully you can find one that better suits you (or your Dad).

Tiny issue with BB GPA 19

So I've been using Bugless beast for a while now and my OCD has given me one issue with it.
When I bring up the add menu on home screen, instead of having the typical arrow, gear, andfolder icons for the selections it has the sense wallpapers Pete added. It doesn't hinder the rom I just want to learn how to fix it.
Any suggestions? I had a bit of help before but the solution of deleting all the wallpaper apjs didn't work.
found that the issue is with the launcher apk itself. I'm not well versed with apktool or any other method of editing apps so i shall just leave it at that.
screen shot it? i would like to see and help
