Hi there!
I've written a FAQ with Android tips & tricks and tweaks that I try to keep updated, and when I made an attempt to turn off HTC Sense on my Desire the other day in order to get the default Android homescreen, the old method didn't work.
Clearing the defaults for HTC Sense had no effect, and Home wasn't even listed in the application manager.
Is there another way? Perhaps Sense on Android 2.1 devices goes so deep that there isn't even a vanilla Android below it anymore?
Thanks
When you say "no longer possible" are you saying you were able to do this before? From what I know Launcher2, the default 2.1 app launcher, is not installed so you have to find the apk somewhere and install that first.
When the reviewers were first getting hold of Desire's I think there was a video of someone turning off Sense and running stock Android. It was a really simple process too, from what I remember.
When the phone was officially released people noticed you couldn't do this any more.
I think that's what the OP is referring to.
HTC removed the standard Home before they shipped the Desire, so it's never been possible on post-release handsets. It was an option on pre-release phones, though, so people got videos out showing how to do it, and then no dice...
You can install HelixLauncher 2 or 1, which will give you similar homes. I'm not sure if the regular Launcher2.apk will install - I seem to remember trying it and failing. Don't recall for sure, though.
not again lol....well this has been discussed before again and again, the retail version's sense ui cannot be turned off...
Well, it can if you install a different home replacement and clear Sense's defaults.
You can install Launcher2.apk you should be able to find it in some other threads
(use the search?). I had no problems installing it.
Then do the 'clear defaults' setting on the Sense UI application, press 'home' and it will ask you which home screen you want to use.
Better still, install the Helix Launcher 2 from the Market. I prefer it because of the ability to insert 4 static shortcuts alongside the menu button where the space was just previously wasted.
Hi everybody, I have been closely following the ICED GLACIER ROM development thread since it was started. I know there is a consistently growing number of people who have just purchased their myTouch 4G phone (android noobs and vets). The ICED GLACIER ROM thread is getting really large, and I am sure the thought of reading through 1,600+ posts can potentially be a little overwhelming and very time consuming. I know everyone is really excited to try that AWESOME ROM, but I also see in the thread that everyone wants to know what works, what doesn't, how to fix this, etc... I'm hoping that people with questions about this ROM can look here for an answer before asking questions in the other thread that have already been answered along the way (sometimes many times). I hope this will help the devs too- if we can provide info and answer questions about everything that has already been answered in the other thread then we can get rid of repeat posts of questions and problems that are cluttering up the other thread- meaning it'll hopefully be really easy to narrow down current hiccups or problems people are experiencing. If anyone can contribute to this thread, it would be greatly appreciated!
*Flashing- When I first flashed this ROM, Iced Glacier was at 1.0, first I flashed V0.5, then V1.0. With V1.1, you no longer need to flash V0.5 or any other version first- you can go from stock rooted to V1.1 (make sure to make a nandroid backup first!!!). If you are not sure how to flash this ROM, or how to root your phone- you WILL find answers by reading through some of the other threads in this section. *It looks like a few people have had problems when/ after flashing this ROM due to not completely wiping the phone in different versions of this ROM- you might want to do a complete wipe just to be thorough (I'm no expert, it's just a suggestion to hopefully save you any headaches down the road)
*Overclocking- Make sure to install/ purchase SetCPU, so you can tweak the processor speeds. If you are not sure what SetCPU is, or how to use it- do some studying first. It has been noted that each of our phones responds differently with the different speed settings- I have noticed, that when I have my phone set too high it freezes (particularly while I'm surfing using Dolphin HD), and I have also noticed that I get better performance (and Quadrant results) when my max speed is set at 1440 mhz as opposed to 1382 or 1497mhz. Again, every phone will respond different. Play with the different speeds and see what works best for your phone- everyone can make recommendations (i.e. lower clock speeds with the screen off, battery low, or temp too high), but in the end you have to find what works best for you. I would recommend that you use the 'on demand' option instead of 'performance' to avoid having your phone constantly working at the highest set clock speed though, and don't forget to set different profiles (i.e. screen off, temp too high, battery low...). Remeber, this will affect your battery life, along with a million other variables related to your phone, so make note of before and after results to find a good balance between speed/performance and battery longevity to your liking.
*Apps and Data before flashing the ROM- install 'Titanium Backup' (I recommend purchase as well to support the creator) and batch 'backup all of your apps and data' (run the batch 'verify backup' afterwords to make sure you have a good backup to restore after installing this ROM). I had problems with my backups, so after I flashed V1.0 every time I tried to batch 'restore all apps and data' my phone would reboot, in the end I went through my backup and individually restored data (and app if it was missing) for all of my apps- time consuming, I know, but it was worth it to have this ROM (note: I was using the free version of TB- I now have purchased the app, but haven't had to use it yet for a full batch 'restore').
*Once you have installed the ROM- open 'rom manager' and execute 'fix permissions'. Do this first, as it will likely fix force closes or the 'instant close upon starting the app' that sometimes happens, before you experience them. After running 'fix permissions'- power down, pull your battery for a couple minutes, and then restart your phone (I suggest this, because I had an 'instant close' problem with wi-fi calling and power down + pull battery fixed it for me). You will also want to check to make sure your wi-fi is functional-if not Gr8gorilla has a fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9328350&postcount=1
*Test a flash website on your browser- if it does not work, you likely have to install flash from the market. If it does work- you should be good.
*Bluetooth- If you use bluetooth for calls, it should work fine (I use bluetooth for making calls and have had no problems with V1.0 or V1.11). However, if you use bluetooth for stereo music (A2DP) I understand that it does work with V1.0, but not on V1.11. I have noticed that when I have bluetooth turned on and try to dial a number on the stock dialer- it is very very sluggish to dial the numbers (ex. I press a 5 on the dial pad and wait about 2-3 seconds for the number to light up, sound the DTMF tone, and provide the haptic feedback). I have since switched over to using the 'atakephone' app and have had 0 problems. ***The devs are aware of the bluetooth issue, and plan to include a fix in the next update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9684992&postcount=1577 *EDIT*- bluetooth fixed in ROM V1.1.2
*Genius/ Handsfree- there have been issues with this not functioning properly or not at all. Again, this will be fixed in the next update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9684317&postcount=1573 *EDIT* Fixed in the V1.1.2 update!
*YouTube app- I would say it's not usable- it starts 'turbo scrolling' when I use it- it will sometimes stop if you hold your finger on the screen, but revert back when you take your finger off. This ROM is based off of the original MT4G kernel and I think I read somewhere that the version of this youtube app associated with the original kernel had this bug. Goolge released a new version of the youtube app yesterday (12-8-10)- since I installed that update, I no longer have problems in the app. *EDIT* See *RECAP- KNOWN ISSUES below.
*MMS- looks like some are having problems sending and recieving MMS messages- it might be a problem with the phone rather than this ROM (I am getting a replacement because my phone has that problem). Depending on who you talk to at Tmo customer service, they will confirm it as a known issue with the 4G. Make sure to do atleast a handful of tests sending and recieving with your phone before and after flashing. *EDIT*- some people (myself included) noticed that when using the stock messages app, contacts pictures don't display- looks like there are 2 fixes, 1 being a FULL wipe and fresh install of the ROM or 2- clearing cerain contacts cache settings as Notxel21 posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9706457&postcount=1653
*Bloatware- this ROM has the original bloatware apps removed. The Monopoly demo, demo video, Rock Band Demo, etc. are gone (as well as some other stuff that I forgot to mention- which is proof that it wasn't needed in the ROM anyway ).*** A 'spare parts' app was added for tweaking window animations and viewing battery stats. A 'dsp settings' app was also added to allow equalizer settings for the phones earpiece, external speaker, and the 3.5mm headphone port (really sweet btw!). I had to reinstall 'superuser', 'rom manager', and titanium backup from the market after flashing. The market still works for me after flash without any glitches fwiw.
***Updates- they will come when they come, theres no need to ask about it every day or so. The easiest way to check for yourself is to open the Iced Glacier ROM thread and look at the changelog in post #2- the devs have been faithful to update that post whenever they release a new version. (You can also look through the first post, but the second is cleaner as they put the newest changelog right at the top of the post) *EDIT*- Version 1.1.2 released
*RECAP- KNOWN ISSUES-- Youtube- no worky until you update in the market *EDIT* some are having problems with the youtube app in the 1.1.2 version- looks like it works fine until you use the app in landscape and try to return to portrait- the display returns to portrait, but stays stretched out for widescreen.
*Themed vs. Unthemed- I tried themed first in V1.0- I switched to unthemed and currently use V1.11 unthemed. I only used the V1.0 themed version for about 15 minutes, so I can't really provide any info on it aside from intense screen transition effects and alot of blue/black icons. V1.0 unthemed appears just like stock (if you don't like the HTC sense, you can use launcher pro, ADW or a list of other homescreen replacements). V1.11 Unthemed looks just like stock, but the drop down notification bar is transparent, and the icons at the top are colored with a circle battery meter that shows the battery % in the middle (very cool). There are other notification icon options available in the themes and apps section of this MT4G forum if you want to try something different, but I think you will lose the transparent drop down if you flash a different bar.
*There are also some other issues that seem to be random- someone is having problems with wifi not working at all, someone having problems with the 'media room' app, etc... to my knowledge there is currently no resolve for these problems.
Hope this helps! If anyone has anything to contribute, please let me know, and I will try to update this OP, so all the help stays in one common place.

No Bugs in Mine
I have noticed none of the above mentioned bugs you claim. Youtube works fine, and so does Genius button. According to information I have gotten from others on IRC, the only bug is BT stereo, which I do not care about to be honest. I recommend the non-themed version.

Your fortunate. Not everyone has experienced all of these bugs, I'm just posting what I have read about in the IG ROM thread as well as what I have experienced. As far as the non-themed version, it's my fav. Just got my replacement phone and looking forward to flashing IG 1.1.2, but first I'm gonna play catchup in that thread to see if I need to update this one yet.

Duplicate Ringtones and Notifications
I am not sure what happened but all of a sudden I see two of each ringtone and notification. They seem to work properly but not sure why they are showing up twice. I added a few new ones to /system/media/audio by hand. Wondering if this has been tested by anyone else. I do not have any in /sdcard since I thought that could be problematic.
=====================
Update: I fixed this issue by creating directories on /sdcard/media/audio as follows but empty folders:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Also according to Zinx: Any folders on the /sdcard named notifications or ringtones will be found regardless of subdirectories...thus I think that may have been the entire issue I was seeing.
Everything looks about right

Was that through Clockwork- when you choose the reboot option after flashing? When you power down, do you have to pull your batt before you can restart your phone again? I know that the first time I flash a zip through clockwork, when I select reboot- there is a longer delay than if I were to execute that command without flashing any .zips.
Nice thread, should really help. I really wish someone had a list of the bloatware that was removed from it though, I used more of it than I didn't. There might be something removed that I might need someday.
Hi.
Making my own thread to keep it organized for myself (be way easier, trust me).
I met Rodderik in a chat and he got me started on doing >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967 <<< in which I have already done.
This phone was bought at Radio Shack about two weeks ago and its already installed with Froyo (and all that info...etc). So going from there...
Snarf in chat recommended this to be the best >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 <<< SyndicateROM FROZEN ... I am going to try that.
There are two options:
- Standard = LauncherPro
- Fully Loaded = TouchWiz
I think the phone I got comes with TouchWiz and I remember something about TW Launcher or something on the phone (can't get the info...in the ClockworkMod menu until I figure out how to get out of it). So, my guess is that Fully Loaded is what I want, but the download link are not available.
And anything else to assist me on?

I was just coming back on here to report that virtual keyboards isn't working. Well, it was until I disabled Swype, then it wouldn't work anymore, then turned Swype back on, still no virtual keyboard. *sighs*
Awesome root/rom and all that, though. Thanks to everyone that did it.

Did you click the check box AND select input method?
No download link available for the 1.2, so I am going to go ahead and continue on with the discoveries.
I rebooted the phone and Swype got rechecked itself. I did not give it permission to turn back on. So I disabled Swype again. Disabling Swype also disable both virtual keyboards, which I believe is a glitch. When trying to tap in the text field to bring up virtual keyboard, it won't work, because it says to "Open keyboard to compose message."
Even with Swype turned on, both virtual keyboards was a little different than stock froyo 2.2 virtual keyboards. So, is it possible to only bring back the stock froyo virtual keyboards? Or at least fix this issue I have right now? I could try to see if there are any virtual keyboard apps on the market, but I think those are overlay design, which wouldn't fix this issue with disabling Swype = disable keyboards.
On the home view, the menu buttons on the bottom, the image for text, when I press it, brings up all the text messages. Something is wrong with that icon. It does not show the numbers of unread text messages on it.
I can not find the download link for the 1.2 version of SynROM Frozen. I'd really like to use TouchWiz instead of LauncherPro, if possible.
Edit - Clicking on the Apps to view all the icons, clicking the menu button does not work. I want to rearrange the icons.
And should I do Updates for Firmware, Profile, PRL, and Android, or stay far away from them?
keyboards solved. Thanks to Decad3nce for the Hacker's Keyboard app. Its so...*gasps* beautiful!

I was sending screenshots to a friend from the Gallery and when I was sending each picture, I was clicking on the Recent button (recent contacts) and it does not work. Just empty. So I had to click on Contacts (full list) and scroll down to the friend. Did same thing each time I was sending a picture, the Recents list isn't working. Hoping the 1.2 fixes that.
Major issue with upgrading to the 1.2 is serious. :-(
I'm getting multiple error force close messages including the "The application LauncherPro (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I can't get pass the boot up phase. Removed battery, rebooted, but as soon I unlock the screen, these messages just keep on appearing. I can't do anything on it. :-(
Went back to 1.1 and its a disaster. Really wish I didn't go for the 1.2.. :-(
Update - Managed to flash the latest CWM, now reinstalling 1.2. *prays*
Can't believe I overlook the CWM requirement. lolol
...
GOT IT FIXED!!! Now fully on 1.2. Gotta reinstall all the apps and custom stuff settings, etc, since I wiped it all (did it myself). Okay... Looks like I'll be busy setting up.
Task Manager
- LauncherPro are not protected in v1.2 when in RAM Management (Level 1 and 2). When clearing/managing RAM, it ends LauncherPro. Need fix. (Never happened with stock and SynROM Frozen 1.1)
Message/Text icon on the home page (2nd icon from the right) does not display number of unread alerts. Need fix.
When sending text, it sometimes get stuck on "Sending..." (Requires reboot) Need fix.
Call Logs seem fixed, which I am happy that its finally not showing text logs. :-D
Update - When I get a text message, it is saying the amount of Missed "Calls" on the lock screen. These are not calls....

Pretty sure it will always kill launcher pro in the ram. But I honesty don't think you need to clear it that often, unless something freezes.
There is an option in launcher pro to keep the app from fcing
Preferences/advanced/memory usage options..
You can get lp to show your messages by going into preferences/dock/ then check the sms notifications.
When it says sending and it won't stop, just delete the message and resend it. Should fix it.
And as for the "missed calls" this is a known bug with the lock screen, just go to settings/lockscreen parts/ and change lockscreen. The puzzle one is cool

So in my experience, you should never really have to clear the RAM. I believe android handles that on its own. But if you do choose to clear it, that is why your texts stay on sending. If u try to send one after clearing RAM they get stuck and require the reboot. Once rebooted they will send.

Make sure the setting is checked in settings>display>auto rotate?
Also, if the above doesn't work, try and find a game that uses sensors, like a racing game, and see if tilt controls work. There is always a possibility of a hardware problem.

Good morning,
New boy alert!
I installed the OxyZM 1.2 ICS ROM yesterday. First attempt at rooting any phone. Have to say I am very glad I did. The ROM is fantastic and very fast. But, I have a problem. I'm not sure if it is something I have done but I need a little help please.
Basically, I cannot re-arrange my apps, cant move them from screen to screen or move them drop them on a screen from the drawer. It's worth noting I could at first (hence why I think it may be something I did). Also, a long press on my screen no longer brings up the option to add a widget etc.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony.
Strange, try to install different launcher and see if that works. (Go Launcher EX for example)
Thank you,

OK, thanks anyway.
I installed it and I was indeed able to move my apps again. Out of curiosity I wiped the Halo Launcher data and my apps could be re-arranged again!
With the holo launcher, go to playstore and update it coz i think the 1 in that rom is older. (i think) lol

Yeah when I installed the ROM a splash screen asked if I wanted to download the update from the Play Store so I think I'm up to date.

Hi there,
I've been a long time lurker on the forums here, having used CM9/10 on an old Galaxy S and now using the amazing resurrection remix on my shiny new Note 2.
I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post, but if not feel free to move and identify as required where questions should go!
Long story short: Using the above rom, and Nova Launcher Prime (bought, not stolen - well worth the £2.50) I have issues whereby on reboot certain apps disappear from the phone. The only evidence is the launcher on the home page but when pressed it says "app not installed"
The offending app is ES File Explorer (may be others but I've not noticed), and I have tried a clean re-install of the rom / wiped all cache etc and the problem persists.
I'm guessing it's a launcher issue, but was wondering if anyone else had identified this issue with the above rom / app combo as it would seem a fairly popular combo.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the bump, no one got any ideas?
From looking around, it seems a known issue with android 4.1.1 / 4.1.2 but no one has any experience with similar issues?
Really don't want to have to go back to stock Touchwiz
