[Q] May be im doing something wrong? 3D effects, weather lock screen, rosie scroll - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI guys, sorry for this, ive been looking everywhere to find an anser but i think its so simple no ones asked it....im kinda new but these guides are awesome, rooted the phone and for the first time im trying different custom ROMS, so far ive only done the ARHD and now the leedroid v4 beta 3.0 sense...
i can see the difference between roms but guys for some reason someof the features that they say are with sense 3.0 arent there, how can u get a scrolling home screen like in the sensation, if u scroll fast enough you can see your homescreens scrolling round and round....when i downloaded the ARHD rom latest one 6.3.1 i couldnt do it in that either, youtube videos show the eather lock screen being awesome when the lcd is sitched on, the weather occupies the whole screen but mine just comes up as a widget cloud thing when the screen is turned on....so i though may be this rom doesnt support that, then i tried leedroid but that doest have the scrolling feature nor does the weather lockscreen occupy the whole lcd, it comes up as a widget again, in a small black box..
am i missing something, are these addons or something, could some one please help, ould really appreciate it....oh i was going to try the leedroid hd version 3.3.3 but noticed lee talking about two kernals, couldnt find any information on what these kernals do....
and since im here could someone explain to me what the rosie scroll 3d addon is, as in what it does, couldnt find any information on that too...
sorry for being a pain but ive been searching but cant find a definitive answer, hopefully someone can help....

ok some solved
ok thanks guys, just been experimenting, figured out that if u need the scroll u need to get the 3d rosie scroll add on, the only thing now left is how to get the weather lock screen working, its still coming up as a widget rather than a whole screen when the screen s turned on....if anyone could help, would be great...

although..
noticed that even though i had the rosir scroll its still not the same as the rosie scroll on the Leedroid, u can actually rotate the screens 360 as fast as u can but this is limited on the ARHD....could anyone confirm or have i got the wrong add on, theres a rosie 3d super and theres an ultra...ill try both to see, but weather lockscreen still not orking as it should from what ve heard...

Yes, you are right and what ever you have got is correct. ARHD rosie scroll doesn't rotate 360 degrees once you flick your finger. I think it is more sense 3.5 feature, I am not sure about it. ARHD 6.3.1 is based on official HTC RUU with HTC sense 3.0 and is very close to stock HTC ROM. Also you can try super smooth, ultra smooth rosie from HAMDIR. For weather lockscreen did you try changing from Personalization->Lock screen?
if it is not working, I would suggest you to first take Nandroid backup, clear everything using superwipe and Flash ARHD 6.3.1. All the best.

hey thanks
hey thanks kaydee, i have to admit, very much impressed by the ARHD, all night phone has been on with ifi enabled and the battery is still in its 90 percent...shocking actually...
Anyways i have tried what you have told me twice but for some reasoon the weather is still appearing as a widget when the screen turns on, very strange, surprised i cant seem to find anyone with the exat same problem, may be i havent searched right...
if anyone could help, ould be appreciated, thanks again

Help
oh boy 150 views but only one reply, think im the only one here with this problem, think its best to post this in the ARHD forum but i cant since my posts are less than 10...
does anyone have any idea if theres a way to uninstall the lockscreen apps and then try to install them again...
may be that will work, my guess is something is clashing, thats why the weather lock screen appears as a widget when screen is turned on rather than occupying the whole screen...

Shockingly unblievable
OMG i feel like jumping off the roof...after relentless searching and multiple reboots, guess wat i found...
the weather lockscreen wasnt working because in order for it too work, i had to make sure in the locations menu, the use wifi was checked...and waala it works, just plain stupid frankly, my fault really...
anyways those of whom end up with this sorta problem, remember its not the new custom rom uve just flashed but in some cases as simple as checking something...anyways if this doesnt work
Make sure background data and sync are checked at the top in the sync menu under settings. Then scroll down and make sure you have weather set to sync automatically.
should work, thanks to one guy whom helped lol...and thanks to countless others around the web...

Good to see that you finally got it. Happy Flashing

Live Wallpaper Question for AOSP users

Hi all,
I don't need to introduce myself, so I just thought I'd start a thread regarding a query I have.
I'm working on a new build very very shortly - which will be a Vanilla build hopefully based entirely from Villain4.0 Beta 2.
Anyway. The question is regarding live wallpapers.
For those of you who use/have used an AOSP rom, please could you tell me every live wallpaper which worked correctly?
Also... every one which caused the phone to soft reset?
Thank you in advance,
NPR
I have tried all available AOSP roms with live wallpapers and to be honnest ckdroid was probably the best,due to the fact that all live wallpapers i tried do actually run but then once you perform a lock / unlock cycle it simply reffers back to stock wallpaper which the exception of less 3D intensive wallpapers such as the one with circles of colour and the bouncy balls one ? sorry cant remember the names.
Maybe a Power Issue or CPU becuase ive heard several people say if you have USB plugged in they stay on ?
I would love to have working live wallpapers on my hero and have even started my own thread regarding them not working but nothing it seems people say they dont work on hero yet G1 and Magic has them and the upcoming open eclair has them working 100% apparently ! which annoys me because the hero is superior to both in terms of specs ?
I plan on spending a bit of time on trying to make them work. Maybe not immediately, but soon.

We're having this issue with the Eris too. It seems any wallpaper that uses OpenGL and RenderScript will crash when the phone sleeps when it's not plugged in. Others that don't use RenderScript work perfectly fine. The only one in LiveWallpapers.apk that works completely is the Polar Clock I believe. Other 3rd party ones such as Bezier and Duck Hunt work fine as well.
OP, If you fix this issue Eris users as well will thank you. It's had us stumped.
I found aHero to be the best vanilla, its got a working 5MP
In terms of live wallpapers the nexus MOD wallpaper worked quiet well except the problem with it disabling when you lock the screen or screen times out. Shame really because it was running find behind everything and not really lagging at all.

How do you get this wallpaper working? downloaded it but stuck from there

Where did you get the wallpaper from? If you have it as an .apk file then you need to use an app installer program, root explorer does this or just search the market for 'app installer'.
If its installed, its a case of pressing the menu button on the homescreen and selecting wallpaper>live wallpapers and it should be in the list.
maybe you should collaborate with the guy who made this rom posted yesterday
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651103
I have to say i flashed this last night,the rom has bugs that have been fixed in other roms so with a combanation of bug fixes ect this could be the one !
I have to say besides the bugs this is the best AOSP rom i have tried so far in terms of live wallpapers it seems even after sleep lock /un-lock cycle a lot of the live wallpapers work !
Working:
"digital Rain" Duck Hunt" "green" "water" "bezier" "Bokeh Rainbow" "grass" "living Colours" "LED scroller"
Not working:
"NexusMod" "EarthRot" "Galaxy" "Nexus" "Tea Garden"
Still testing others but deffinatley the best functionality so far !

[Q] Date, Time and Battery Charge in Words?

Not sure if this or these will come as part of a widget but posted in here.
I've seen loads of pics of peoples phones with the current date, time and battery charge in words instead of numbers. Some look really nice.
They appear when the phone is unlocked and also on the lock screen.
Can anybody point me in the direction of either the widget(s) or whatever i need to get those on my phone.
Cheers
Carl
Battstatt and Tajm are the only widgets that i can think of that resembles your description.
Thanks. They look like the ones i've seen on various peoples phones pictures.
Tried both these apps and while they are nice and exactly what i was looking for they don't update. They seem to get stuck on either a past time or in some cases the time was in the future!!. The battery charge one also got stuck on an incorrect percentage.
Shame as they are very nice.

except them in your taskmanager / taskkiller
Doesnt matter, i dont run a taskmanager at all and they still dont update. I emailed the developer and he said it was a problem with cyanogen roms. I dunno, shame cause they are nice.

[Q] Noob needs help :( lol

hey guys, i need some help here lol..... basically, i have no idea what im doing.... i rooted my phone (evo 4g) and i have the warm 2.2 rom right now (which i like alot) i like how its all blacked out and got some transparent stuff, real clean.. BUT i HATE the lock screen.... wanna get the "ring" lock screen, but i have no idea how to do it... also i downloaded "synergy w, god mode" or something like that, and everytime i boot into recovery and try to install it off the sd card, it loads and installs, BUT when it brings up the white HTC Evo 4g Screen when i reboot, it stays there and doesnt ever boot.... ive let it set for like and hour, and it still does nothing..... basically.... i wanna know how to change my lock screen to the one in the sinister rom i think? not really sure what the name was... i think it was sinister.... it had the sweet ring at the bottom you would drag up to unlock, but i didnt really like anything else about the rom..... is there a way to mix and match? and also where do i go to find more mods for the warm 2.2 rom? i have the transparent title bar, thats it..... HELP any advice it GREATLY appreciated, im trying to learn this stuff as fast as i can, but its so overwhelming lol Thanks in advance guys!!!
Before you flash synergy wipe everything. Factory reset, and both cache. And you should use the non gmode synergy. Also look in mods in the second post of the synergy post for a transparent notification bar

Ya when I flashed it the first couple of times it just hung at the white EVO screen so I pulled the bat and wiped everything BUT the SD card and it went great. Also looks pretty good now that I got the whole 3D look going

Install the non god mode rom, god mode one isnt anything to go crazy about. I recommend baby steps since your newly rooted, so stick with what you know will be the easiest sure thing and work your way up until you are comfortable with all things Android
ok ill have to try that!..... as for now i have warm 2.2, adw launcher, and lock bot.... ill take some screen shots.... one thing i do miss is the HTC widgets (calender, favorites) stuff like that... is there a way to get these??
If you use launcher pro plus from market, it has some widgets, but not quite like sense (and i personally like ADW better than LPP). Beautiful Widgets in the market has sense-like clock widget. I never have found anything that compares to the htc mail widget, though (thats one of the only reasons i use sense a lot)
Lockring: as long as you're on synergy, or any sense 2.1/3.0 rom, youll have the lockring. There are threads (MANY) with custom lockrings to flash. And the greatest devs in the world, that even take requests
Have fun.

Using adw you have the sense Widgets. I use to use adw but since installing synergy I'm all over sense.

BTW i like the whole minimalistic theme.... simple=better looking IMO.....

What recovery are you using..... synergy requires amon ra..... if you are using rom manager .... you can switch recovery to amon ra..... flash alternative recovery at bottom of menu on rom manager.... you will be able to flash synergy thru amon ra........
Fflexed from my SYNERGY EVO!
hmmm.... maybe, i am using rom manager, maybe that has something to do with it? im really not that worried about it anymore....i have a decent look that im satisfied with right now..... oh yeah.... because im so new to rooting and all that stuff, if there any sweet benefits that im not hearing about? like what other cool stuff is there to do other than changing themes, appearances? thanks! lol
