Lockscreen App

I'm currently using Jackos SmartMove Rom with sense 2.1, and I'm really happy with it. However, ive recently come across a few problems regarding the phone lock.
Basically i've been looking to find a custom lockscreen app which is similar to the default wm6.5 one but doesn't destroy the mem usage in gwes.exe. I mean, I'd be perfectly happy to use the default one if it didn't cause such a memory leak. I've tried s2u2 which, despite its high mem usage, seems to do the trick. But now I have began to notice that it gives me the screen of death almost everytime my phone goes to sleep (probably because I'm also using the overclock app, which i'm not willing to stop)
Now I would have been happy enough (albeit somewhat disappointed) in having to resort back to the wm6.1 lockscreen, but ive noticed now that while it is locked and I receive an incoming call, it doesn't automatically unlock or show me whos calling which seems somewhat strange and has caused me to miss important calls. (tried a hard reset and still the same - maybe its my rom? As this seems like a crazy crazy thing for microsoft to have implemented on their own accord.
I've also tried other lockscreen apps like throttlelock, but I'd really really like the app to overide the deafult lock (like s2u2 did) so I can click on start and select lock to get to it.
So basically what I'm asking is if anyone knows of any decent lock apps that are capable of this?
Is there a way to sort out the issue with incoming calls when using the wm6.1 lockscreen?
Or is there a way to sort out the memory leak with the default wm6.5 lockscreen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm sick of tweaking my phone and have now (almost) got it to exactly what I want.

im currently using Mr.X Rom with co0kie Hometab Editor 1.8.5, using the HD mini lock that it includes and i have not had a problem with the memory usage or SOD with the overclocking app.
give it a try and see how u like it..

Leedroid 3.0.8.2

I've had 3.0.8.2 A2SD GB version installed for a few days now and have only found a couple of issues that really annoy me. For some reason there is a green "hue" when you reach the extent of a vertical scroll. Is there any way of shutting this off because it's so annoying. Vertical scroll isn't as smooth as previous versions, maybe something to do with the green "hue" maybe? I don't know.
Apart from that, memory usage seems to be managed better and battery life is awesome. Last night I was on the Market downloading and installing for maybe two hours. Battery was 100% when I started but only down to 97% by the time I finished. No battery saving app used either.
Thanks for this version, I like it.
One other thing I just remembered, when the screen lock is activated or deactivated the homescreen appears/disappears in a motion that's very similar to an old tube tv being tuned on/off. It's awful and it looks like the phone is faulty. Any way of changing this?

As both nuisances here mentioned are features of Gingerbread, I think you'd be best off returning to froyo rom.

great rom by Leedroid, but I have a very annoying issue with it...
I can't send/receive text massages smoothly. It crashes my massage process: I receive a text massage, I reply to it and press back or home, and after this my phone freezes and pops force close or wait box to choose from. Any solutions how to fix it? Or idea who may cause this?
p.s. I send/receive over 2k massages per month

More likely to get a reply in leedroids thread mate

hi,
- this is blowing motion, inherited from sense rom 2.1, you can cook UOT theme and disabling this.
-U can avoid this motion with spare parts (included into LD rom) just set windows aimation to fast and it s gone.
hope this help

Custom Auto Brightness Levels?

Ive read that the One X tends to run a lot brighter for the equivalent setting on phones like the SII.
Is it possible to tune the brightness level that the Auto setting provides, and the external light at which it "ups" the brightness - as in my opinion, HTC's setting, although wonderful, is overkill in many situations, and screen on time needs all the help it can get.
Cheers.

if things aren't changed in ICS, you can decompile the /system/framework/framework-res.apk and then edit some xml's in it. Compile it again with the modified xml's and at last adb push it into the system partition. and this procedure requires a unlocked system partition.
if you don't want to unlock / don't know how to edit the stuff, the most feasible way is to put a brightness widget on homescreen and change it manually.

leedroid, insertcoin and a few of the other roms here have the option to lower the brightness in their tweak settings. If you search for it, j4n87 also created a flashable xml mod that lowers the brightness as well.

Cheers, I saw one on XDA for what I thought was the One S but it must be what youve just mentioned above I think.

Yes, we're on the same page although I don't understand italian . The mods I'm referring to all alter the baseline brightness as opposed to just the regular screen brightness based on ambient levels.
I'm running CM9 which allows you to edit baselines for screen and softkeys, but the roms and mods I referred you to do the same thing with less granular control. j4n87's mod is pretty dim but worked well for me until I switched to CM9. You could always crack open his zip and change the levels yourself before flashing.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595559

Yeh haha I don't speak Italian either just stumbled upon that on featured videos! Erm I knew CM9 had it working, can you point me in the direction of the best build? I need HDMI out but can live without Hotspot (which I believe is the only problem causer?). What's CM9 battery overall before these screen modifications?

I've tried about 6-7 of the roms here, they're all pretty much the same with varying levels of tweaks. I'm pretty sure that HDMI is working on the majority of them.
I love the hardware on this phone but not fond of Sense at all. Looking forward to more AOSP/AOKP based roms. The only available CM9 rom still has some bugs that need to be addressed (Phone, GPS, Camera - all working but with flaws) Battery life is excellent though I'm getting 4.5-5+ hours of screen on with heavy to moderate use using Faux123's kernel.

Is that the CM9 over at Modaco? Or is there an active one here?
That's great screen on time by the way.
Ideally I want one based on CM9 but with the sense Camera, that's all I can see thats worth keeping. Sense just isn't worth the performance hit IMO. It looks pretty cheap, especially with all the colourful busy icons...

Yes I'm using the build from modaco, jdroid is apparently working on a AOSP version and is beta testing. He said that they may release something this week.

How are you finding Screen on times for video playback/streaming by any chance?
Also, have you tried to see if the force dual core app helps?
Ill know myself tomorrow, the phone arrives...!

Using Blackout ICS

I'm new to using a rooted device and installing custom ROMS, and I love it!
I've loaded the latest Blackout ICS version 3.0.0, and am really impressed by how well it works. I immediately noticed that battery life is better than anything I've used previously, always different versions of Gingerbread. So that's a big improvement straight away. As others have highlighted, it's a bit laggy at times, but I overclocked the CPU and it runs much more smoothly. Even just 1.2 GHZ produced a noticeable improvement, and I'm now on just under 1.5 GHz, which I gather is a safe setting. I was worried about this affecting battery life, but if it has it's barely noticeable. I suppose it only runs at the fastest speed when it needs to.
The only problem with the ROM is the auto-brightness, which jumps up and down even in fixed light conditions. Not sure if the developers pick these threads up, but that is really the only issue I've found.
As the DHD seems to be the only device not to be getting an official port of ICS, I'd definitely recommend giving this ROM a try.
With all these other devices getting updates, is it likely that more fully working ICS ports for the DHD will be on the horizon?

Really? You get better battery? I suspect i get a little less battery time...

You should also try AOSPX and Nik Project X. The first one is stock ICS and the second one is ICS with Sense 4.0. I tried both of em and they work flawlessly on my DHD.
Haven't tried Blackout yet because I saw in the thread that there were still quite a few issues to be solved.

I was getting excellent battery life as well, but I suspect it might be killing my data connection when the phone is asleep.

I like the look of Nik Project X, though the final post on the forum raises an issue with not being able to get HSDPA data speed. I'll keep tabs on that forum and maybe give it a try.

Hmm, haven't really paid attention to that (I 'm mostly on WIFI). I 'll do a speedtest when I get the chance.
Edit: Did a quick test and I 'm getting 3,6Mb down / 1,6Mb up (inside a server room right now so not the best connection). Seems quite normal for my network (7,2Mb is max speed I can get from my provider). Of course the max HSDPA speed is alot higher but that 's something I cannot test.

Hi,
I've just installed, and recovered my apps, as i've wiped battery calibration i cannot talk about it, but OC is excellent. Even in default frequency the desktop turns without any lags, but as you mentionned, sometime there are some lags (typing on keyboard for instance) but i guess it's linked to the OC profile changing , try in performance instead of on demand, this should solve that.
Regarding the brightness i agree , it seems it change on "i don't know which parameter" from bright to low brightness.. so i've installed Bright day app to set the brightness along the day at low value and i've set on the main desktop the brightness widget to up from system parameters to push it up when i need, then bright day will recover the setting after a while..

So after few days of testing here are my feelings :
Takeing account of deamon set to 1,2Ghz, i can still reach 1d and half near 2days without charging , with a light use :
Allways connected to network though HSDPA (as i take train it often check the network to change the connected cell)
Playing 20-30min 3times a days to Pirates of carabean (3D game multiplayer so connecting to the network)
Surfing a bit
no music
no video
With an harder use i reached 1d wake up to sleep:
still same network condition
playing double time at least (1 to 1,5h 3times a days)
Surfing more (1h)
no music an no video
using battery eater apps (windguru) a bit
to resume my feeling on battery is excelent, i've noticed a light improvement on idle battery drop, a bit accelerated over time (due certainly to used app remaining processes.
Let's go now to the issue i've noticed :
-Back tactil button doesn't work on phone screen while it works everywhere else
-Using smoth rosie to supersmooth show a light display trouble when reducing the app drawer windows (doubling the reducing animation)
-Light keyboard trouble doubling the A letter some time (like if the touchscreen has been typed twice when its not the case)
-blackout tweak shortcut from top task bar doesn't linked (need to go through the app drawer to access it)
-Folder creation missing from widget/app shortcut addition screen (or i didn't found it) , i use the moving app on another icon to create it (i don't know if it's the ICS new way of creating folder on desktop)
The plus i've found (don't know if it's an ICS feature) : create a folder in the lower task bar : can jump from 4 shortcut to full app contained in your phone accessible from the locked screen : I loved that !
The overall impression is really great and for an old phone that "doesn't give a good experience of ICS" following HTC, i feel this ROM fullfill my expectation from ICS on my Desire HD !
Many thanks to the Blackout team !

Haha.. very funny pub..
Btw, testing further again, i've found the sms issue (from my point of view it was linked to transferring sms not to content,) I'll give a try to the 3.1 to chek this out
I confirm the keyboard double "a" in certain text box, particularly in sms typing or web address typing
Lags linked to overclocking

Yes. Some can't send at all. Some have data drop in and out while sending and some have no issues. Seems weird to me since the hardware is supposed to be the same for the most part. I think apn and radio combo has the most to do with it.

Love this ROM...
This ROM would be my daily driver if the Wifi hot-spot worked. Has anyone found a work-around or fix? Wifi Tether didn't work either btw. I know it's WIP by the devs but they said it wasn't a major priority for them (Boooooo lol) Fingers crossed for v3.2

As noticed recently in the official thread, i've also noticed the magical battery jumps, i first guessed it was linked to the battery calibration wipe i've done before to flash the Blackout3.0 rom, but i can sometime still see this trouble also.
It happen even phone is in use but every time inbetween 30 and 5 percent of battery left. it goes down to low then readjust it to an higher value without any reason.
The phenomen come back lately less often, but maybe devs can check this out. I'm running on a SFR Desire HD recognized as an incredible S on the 3.0 rom.

[APP][AutoBrightnessOnSteroids] Amazing!!

For anyone concerned with Auto-Brightness and trying to save battery, I highly suggest Lux Dash.
Basically you tell it what brightness to give it under every lightning circumstance. It takes into affect time of day etc. The more you Link it and tell it what brightness to give it the more accurate it becomes to your exact liking. I've noticed a decent battery gain over the stock Option. As you can set it to only change after Wake, lock, Constantly, etc..
Here is an article about it to better get everyone to understand: http://lifehacker.com/lux-automatica...gets-934245674
I know many don't care about Auto-Brightness much, but neither did I until i tried this program.
