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.

I agree. Love the speed without Rosie.

[Q] 2.3 Update

I updated my Desire HD to 2.3 and i have a problem my home screen ui is moving very very slowly with a normal wallpaper when i put a live wallpaper its even worse.
When i had 2.2 i never had this problems anyone have any answers.
UI moves the same way with or without USB debugging.
is it just the home screen?
is the 'All Apps' menu acting the same?
and how about the UI of other apps?
Only the home screen is moving slow the menu and apps are moving perfectly
given that you dont have some 3rd party widget that MAY be slowing down the homescreen
Try going into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>
Then go to HTC Sense (the one with the icon of a home screen) and click Clear Data (NOTE: this will remove all the widgets from the home screen)
Personally, im not 100% sure if this will work, but it has helped me in some problems with my home screen.
tell me the result.
nop its still the same slow moving home screen
in that case, you have two options---
1) You could do a factory reset (since you just updated, i dont think it'll be a big problem) but remember to backup your data, apps, etc... (IM not 100% sure that it'll work either, but if it doesnt then i think you have a problem with your ROM)
2) You could wait for someone to come and answer.
i did the factory reset a few days after the update to see if it would help but no such luck
Then i THINK the problem could be with your ROM.
Try installing it again. If you're looking for an official source - CLICK HERE. (thanks go to andy)
Thats an official ROM, if you have CWM recovery, then i would suggest a stock-rooted ROM CLICK HERE
reinstaling the update worked perfectly now my phone home screen is moving perfect it dosent feel like a nokia 3310

widgets moving too easily

I'm having this strange problem with my one x where widgets are sometimes too Easily moved when I'm just swiping between screens. Especially if I try to swipe between screens fast.
Is this normal??
On sense 3.6 I could swipe really fast & widgets were never accidentally moved.
If someone can test there one x & post back that would be great.
Another test is go into the app drawer - swipe left & right couple of times - come out of app drawer & swipe between home screens, this sometimes causes widgets to move on my phone.
Same problem
Any word on how to fix this, it gets really annoying sometimes if theres room on the next home screen you end up accidently moving icons/widgets between screens.
@Jan has a tweak in his viper rom where you can lock/unlock the homescreens to stop this kind of thing happening, maybe baadnewz can add something like that into ur insertcoin rom (if u ask him nicely.. hehe)
All I can say is that this is not normal >.> All I could help

[Request] HTC Sense Mods - Xposed?

Hey guys, Im currently running Trickdroid on my HTC and im really enjoying the HTC Sense feel. However, there are a few very minor things i thought that might make the experience that much better.
For one, i really like the HTC Sense stock camera; Easy options, Zoe, the seamless switching etc, but i would really like to be able to manually adjust the focus. I found you can change the exposure but i cant find any focus options.
Another thing (very minor) being the Sense "Recent Apps" ( double tap home) , for some reason it doesn't seem to support "multi-touch" and i can only swipe away one app at a time, even if i start from top to bottom. It would be awesome if i could just quickly swipe apps away before waiting for the fading animation to finish.
And lastly, the lockscreen. I do like the simplicity of the stock lockscreen but there's one thing that annoys me occasionally, if i miss tap or don't swipe properly it pops up with a short animation and says "Pull up to unlock" and the screen is unresponsive for the second the animation is happening.
Like i said, these are VERY minor things but having a solution would just complete it.
If you have any suggestions or fixes, they would be greatly appreciated
Possibly through XPOSED Modules?
Bump.......Ideas anyone?
I've never seen anything about anybody else asking about these issues so I would think the chance of a Mod existing or being made is very slim indeed ... You could ask in the Xposed thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335241&highlight=xposed ... Maybe the Dev could help you out.

[Q] Strange screen settings with PACMan Rom

Hi all,
I am new to posting, but I have been flashing custom roms, kernals, etc. for years (apparently I can't post this to the dev forum, fair enough!).
With the Pacman rom and the trebuchet launcher I find I have some difficulties. Basically I seem to get a screen that doesn't quite fit the tablet screen (e.g. one home screen bleeds into another or the home screen ends up being so small that it doesn't fill the tablet). this doesn't seem to cause problems for the google search bar (not that I really use it), or the top notifications bar... just the dock and the home screen.
I have tried so many settings in trebuchet and in the PACMan/PA settings, but the only thing that seems to help is another launcher (APEX or whatever). On the topic of other launchers for some strange reason the Buzz launcher seems to not display the initial launcher choice 'confirmation' button, so it is impossible to use.
As I have said, I have tried many, many different settings for DPI, and the only one that fills the screen is 360p 320dpi... it sort of counteracts the point of being able to adjust the screen settings in the first place.
Any ideas? Fixes?
