HTC HD Keypad/Phonepad & Clock Requests/Questions/Glitches

Hi Guys,
Find below some screenshots of my Touch HD to give you an idea of what i'm looking for.
I've looked all round the forum but cant seem to find what i'm after.
Well on the 1st shot, I got the black phone pad which I love but if you look on the bottom left hand corner (highlighted)... I have "Call Hi..." Over lapping the video call option and everytime I press this button it always goes into the call history! This was also happening when I had the normal factory phone pad! Is there a fix for this out there somewhere?
Secondly, if you look at the 2nd screenshot. You see the normal T9 phone keypad... i'm wanting this in the same black format as the phone pad in screenshot 1 etc... is there a cab out there to change this also?!
And finally, in screen shot 3 & 4 you'll see the clock that I have... im looking to have this changed so that it looks like the clock in screenshot 4 (but obviously bigger but still shows the date and if there is an alarm set up... does anyone know of a way to change this or of a cab to do this for me? (I have added a 5th screenshot to show wat im after for the clock... it was done in paint.. and yes I know... it was a poor attempt... but at least you get the idea )
Thanks in advanced

If someone has enough free time I would love to see the windows lock buttons when entering pass to unlock to be colored black for example. I hate those white buttons.

[Q] [HOW TO] temporarily freeze current screen to show others

I often find myself wanting to show someone a picture or current screen display, but when I hand them my phone either touching the screen or one of the buttons or making that gesture suddenly changes the screen, or moves the picture. Is there some way to freeze the screen on purpose so it can be passed around safely?
I know about screen capture programs (Screenshot, Shootme) and the screen capture built into some ROMs Power Menu, but those don't keep the resulting scene on the screen (one needs to use a file program to find the graphic, which is clumsy and time consuming).

I agree, i always give my phone to my relatives or friends and they always press the back or home button somehow -.-!

One solution , would be to use a transparent lock screen with a very small unlock toggle ...
Lock it , hand it to them ...

Screenshot would do

This sounds just right, but is there such a lock screen available?

I have that program, and it works well, but after taking the shot one needs to recall the complex name and directory, and once found the viewing program has all the buttons active. I have a shortcut to Astro opening in the directory, but even with a half dozen thumbnails, it isn't clear sometimes which one I want to show. I don't see any option to freeze the view.

I don't have the link, but search around , there are some threads on transparent lockscreens ...
Not sure but you may be able to do it with just a transparent .png and setting that as your lockscreen background, but that is just a guess ....

[REQ] Always show clock?

Hi,
To check the time, I don't like having to switch on the screen with the power button, setting off the weather animation on Sense lockscreen. It's a bit awkward and uses battery unnecessarily.
So, my request to any dev is this;
Is it possible to keep the portion of the screen where the small clock is (in the top right) on all the time? Even when the rest of the screen is off, the clock stays visible ALL the time.
Not sure if it would create problems with battery usage, screen burn?
Any thoughts?

Change it to clock. Very simple.

From what i understand, you want the screen to be on all the times but partially (just the top rlght). I think that's technically impossible.

Download "NoLed" by madmack from the market. It's an excellent app and has exactly what you are looking for plus a lot of other cool stuff.

+1, you hit the nail on the head. I use this on my Sgs2, and it works well.
Regards

I'm quite sure that this will use more battery than turning the screen on once in a while for a few seconds

Wrong section and its more of a [Q] than a [REQ]

NoLed is a really good app, but it doesn't do what i'm requesting. When NoLed is active, if you look at the screen at the correct angle, you can see that the whole screen is on. Thank you tho
I'm trying to establish if it's possible to make only the pixels covering the clock area (in the notification bar) to stay on. This way the clock is always visible, and not much battery is drained(????)

That would only work on AMOLED screens.

That would only be beneficial to those who have AMOLED screens.
I am pretty sure the HTC Ace has a 480*800 LCD, and I don't think it is possible to shut down different areas of the screen without hardware mods.

ok, guess it ain't happening then....

maybe try using the desk clock, to my knowledge you use that and then u can press the powerbutton but all u see is the time and whatever else u set

that's the multi Window feature of this beast. Hold the back touch button for a second, the tab will disappear. If it's there, you can open 2 apps at the same time in a split screen fashion. Try it out. Works like a charm.

What happens when the 1/2 moon won't dissapear no matter how long you hold the "back" button? Shall you call me a noob or average joe? Maybe just answering an honest question should be enough to swell your head a touch eh?

Replying to a dead 10 month old thread just to mock someone doesn't make you look any more intelligent then the one you were replying to.
If you are having troubles disabling the multi-window feature open Settings> Display> take the check out of Multi-window.

Fallenkirmit, well even though the post might be a bit old it get's veiwed by many who Google their issues. My 6yr. old boy was telling me how rude it was for him to act that way towards the OP, so I thought about the time frame and yet thought of all those other people that may not ask a question because of reading his responce or those that might or do respond now on Forum's. Thank
you for your kind responce. Just looked and I don't have Multi-Window listed under Device catagory then selecting Display.

If you want to completely disable it, it should be in system settings / display / multi-window feature, uncheck. If its not there then perhaps its not Multi-Window your having issues with. Are you on a TouchWhiz based ROM?

Hello ..
Im gettin very irritated by this half circle type fing on my screen on right side .... ive tried to remove it but cant ... plz guide me how i can remove it .

Does it look like mine at the top?
That's for multi view, 2 apps on the screen at once. Holding down the back button will make it go away. Or tap it to open it, hold and drag to a different side.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
