SoCal Devs has just released a new app that lets you to easily install a custom splash screen on your phone whenever you want with no access to a computer necessary.
The Market page for BootFlash Pro is here.
Also available on the Android Market is BootFlash Lite.
Here is the description from the Android Market.
BootFlash Pro lets you choose an image stored on your phone to install as your rooted phone's splash screen. The splash screen is the image that is displayed on your screen when you turn on the phone before the boot animation begins to play. The splash screen installed by BootFlash Pro will stick across different ROMs, so that you can always retain the splash screen that you enjoy. You can change your splash screen as often as you want.
BootFlash Pro currently works on:
HTC Inspire 4G
HTC Desire HD
HTC Vision
HTC ThunderBolt
HTC G2
HTC Desire Z
Edit: Added support for HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Evo 4G
and more to come!
Please do not attempt to use BootFlash Pro on any phone not listed here.
Nice, works like a charm

is there an app for the desire that turns the flash into a torch???
thanks
+1 for such an app like on the HTC HD2
Not come acroos an app that utilises the flash as a torch. There is this free app, which I think may work with Android 2.1 except that it will only illuminate the screen, and not the LEDs: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-android-flashlight-zAA.aspx
there is already one for the HD2 called HTC Flashlight! Normally installed already in the programs list (don't know about these new T Mobile ones in USA though)
no there isn't one that works on Android marketplace yet for the Desire but one will appear within a month so not long.
yes there is one, i dont quite remember the name of the app but it will only appear in the marketplace if you are rooted.
but root isn't available for the desire yet so there still isnt one that works!
I've found it in the market, I can't remember the name but just search for flash light and you should find it.
The description says it works on Motorola Droid but not on Nexus One, so there is a good chance that it won't work on HTC Desire either...
Hi guys,
Don't know whether opening a new thread is pretty overkill for just this purpose. But here i go anyways. The new sense shown on-board the Desire HD and Desire Z, seems to be pretty cool. Landscape support and the new Task Manager Access Via the Notification Area are welcome additions. Any idea whether this new interface will be available as an official update for us original Desire owners? or is it just for the New Gen of Desires??

There is a thread already, and there is no roadmap for the new Sense on older devices yet.

Just wondering if anyone who had ported the desire HD rom has tried out HTCSense.com. If so please report findings and screenshots if you have them.
Htc hub doesn't work on the rom I'm using. I went to use htcsense.com last night but it had some error loading the terms of service, so it wouldn't let me through.
Desire HD htcsense.com
I was running the Desire HD rom for awhile but went back to another rom.
I just logged in to htcsense.com this morning with the account I created while running Desire HD and everything seems to work, even though i am not currently runing the Desire HD rom.
I will make it a point to go back to Desire HD once he has the camera fully functional because it was impressive, it would be sweet to utilize the htc sense functions.
Just saying...
Works for me. I'm running v0.6 and it synced all my stuff. Msgs, People, locations. Just apps doesnt work right. its cool. i guess. I havent tried the wipe phone etc lol.

So are you saying that one could flash the HD ROM...setup an account...switch roms...and still use the features of HTCSense.com? I really like that plan.

No, I tried out DI's HD rom a while back and created my HTCsense account. After logging into it today, it looks as if my account is actually there, it even has my backed up text messages, and contacts from when I was running the HD rom, but since I flashed to a new ROM all connectivity with the HTCsense site has stopped.
So just to sum it up, HTCsense.com will only work(sync) when you are running a ROM that is based off the newest version of sense, like the Desire HD or Z roms at the moment.
I really hope someone figures out this camera thing out soon, I don't care if its the new camera interface or even the one the Inc uses now, but once its sorted I will switch back for good the new features are things I've hoped to have for a while now.
Despite the absence of the camera - the incdoes desire hd is my daily driver now. Way too many improvements over any previous custom sense or aosp ROM that I have tried. My recommendation - try it out - you will be very surprised.
Also, new desire HD dump is here too and apparently its even better. I am awaiting that to be ported over to the inc.

no theres another new hd dump
Yeah I can get in to htcsense.com as well with the account I made when I first loaded ID's DesireHD ROM as well - but since I'm not currently running it I can't see how it interacts with the phone - but I can browse all the stuff on the site
I'm not able to access it from the phone, haven't tried it from my laptop though

I went to the site, www.htcsense.com, then signed up, saying that my phone was the desire HD, then it said I had to sign in on my phone then activate it on the omp. so I loaded .06 of the incdoe port, i was able to sign in to htchub and it completed the thing for the site, i was able to make the phone ring from the website send stuff to it, lock it use all the feature and all that it was pretty cool. Im loading my stock 2.2 ota back we'll see if I can still log on to the site still.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Anyone tried it yet?
Saw there's lots of APK's out there already to install it - tried it on unrooted, latest unbranded firmware and working ok - looks different, but seems to be fairly similar...
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...roid+market+2.2.6&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=
I think most of the update though is for behind-the-scenes stuff - like the refund timer of 15 mins rather than 24 hr, apk size limit increased etc.
Out of interest, does anyone know how this would get rolled out normally? Does the market update itself? as you can't search for it in the market...
AFAIK, it only works on Froyo for now.
Yep....only for devices running 2.2......if only i did'nt have CyanogenMod i would have installed it.......hmmmm seems it has only a 15 minute refund window

CyanogenMod is 2.2 (well 2.2.1, but I thought it would work on that too?).
Yes I tried. It works on my desire very well. Smoothly. Give us some beautiful weight.

I read the google blog thing that it was designed and will be rolled out for all devices 1.6+
Not too sure about the big green banner along the top- looks like a bit of a waste of space to me... also I thought there were new categories for widgets and live wallpapers?
Got it on my Desire and it works great for me. I think its a great improvement. Running a stock WWE ROM here. There's more info and download links here http://www.eurodroid.com/2010/12/new-android-market-includes-support-for-tablet-displays/

I too couldn't wait for the official roll-out. Downloaded t'd apk, works a treat. I prefer to the old market

Would be nice if you could switch between the old and the new market

Is the change on the update window based on your market version?

Banner is great IMHO for the starting page but not on each app page. Wasted large banner space at the top and in large areas, fonts and padding dedicated for your review/similar sections (poor screen estate efficiency). They should shrink that all down, especially the font. Smoother UI and better in some respects but I preferred tabs much more (for sections I rarely use) as well as the fact that I can't manually stop/restart installs on this version anymore, like I was forced to do with previous versions due to recurring buggy market installs that get stuck.

Any work arounds for incompatible market apps? Some thing like, let me install anything I want to please? Then I'll decide whether or not its compatible with my device.
Thanks
install either the ChaCha rom or the Salsa rom, they're newer and more capable devices. market will detect your device as one of those instead of the old Slide and allow you install apps that are otherwise not compatible.
Isn't NB_Mod-2.15.531.1 Revision 2 ROM new enough? Its what I'm on now.
Thanks
nope, that's still T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide. when you install one of those two roms, it becomes HTC ChaCha/Salsa.
By new, I meant HTC standard. ChaCha and Salsa are newer than our Slides, so as long as the app identifies your phone as T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide, you won't be able to install it because of the default hardware on our Slides.
Cool, thanks.
