Hey guys, the digitizer on my phone is now broken. And i am wondering if it is possible to disable the lockscreen using ADB and then using the trackball to do the necessary navigation (backing up whatsapp and so on).
Oh and I am currently running on stock ROM
Thanks

That depends on if you are rooted. If you have clockworkmod recovery I think you can make a recovery script that will delete the lock screen app, no app no lock screen

Without s-off your pretty much stuck. Even if you have USB debugging enabled without root you cannot edit system apps and this model of phone doesnt support the likes of USB otg. Sorry bud.

With that said you can replace the digitizer for around £5 from eBay if you feel confident to fit it. Even install it long enough to copy off your data. I did my phone a little while ago and it wasn't so tough

So i rooted my incredible and tried to install a theme from the ROM manager i think it was called and when it went to reboot it just went to a black screen with a white stripe down each side and now i cant get passed that point even if i hit factory restore in the s-off menu thing. i am very new to this stuff so i am an idiot for just jumping in but if anyone has any ideas on what i could do it would be much appreciated. HTC Incredible on 2.2 rooted.
thanks
Turn your phone off then back on normally. I think someone mentioned once that this happens with newer DINCs i may be wrong but i believe that may help
SLCD bug strikes again!

ok so i tried just turning it on normally and it goes to the HTC incredible screen and then it turned off again and turned back on by itself and after the HTC incredible screen for a second time it just goes back to the black screen with the two stripes down the sides again

The newer Incredibles have an SLCD screen, the originals have AMOLED screens. From what I understand, they use different display/touch drivers. Not really a "bug" but I'm sure it bugs a lot of people... Did you just recently get it?

yeah its a few weeks old but i got it all fixed...i had to put the pb31img zip in the root of the sd and reload it...i guess it just got deleted or corrupted when i tried to install a theme

Have the same problem **sorta**
Ok new incredible as of the last friday. Unrevoked 3 worked until it hit the rom selection. Rebooted into recovery & thats where I get the black screen with the 2 lines & cant select anything. Pulling the battery will reset it and I'm able to boot but I still cant get the ROM to install.
Any suggestions

Search is your friend. You have a SLCD screen. Since your phone has different hardware, it requires compatible software.

PM'd cause i cant post links cause im still a noob
If you haven't fixed it yet you can search in the Q&A section for black screen and get instructions for a complete restore to the day you got it. The SLCD thing got me too.

This is exactly my problem...then I reflashed with pb31img. Now all it does is turn the charge light on...
How did you get it fixed.
I don't know if my phone is slcd or amoled....almost sure its AMOLED
the way i fixed it is on this thread......http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...t-after-incredible-boot-screen.html#post56442
Anyone ever get this problem. I noticed after rooting that my screen buttons are freezing every now and again I pretty much have to take my battery out to restart it. My volume and power buttons pneumonia the side still work though. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Make sure you are properly rooted.

If you are, try flashing another rom, or doing a complete system wipe.
That just told me i was rooted, not that my root might be corrupt? Idk. Thanks tho

Sorry for the simple questions but did you pull the battery? Are you sure your battery is is not dead?
Do you have access to recovery?
If no flash a firmware with fastboot.

You should still be able to get into fastboot menu and recovery though through holding volume up and down and then the power button.....
Anyway, glad you back up again.
Was your phone hot? It's possible that safety throttle stuff shut down the phone and waited till it cooled off? I honestly don't know how the throttle craps works.

Dunno I looked at the app and honestly I don't like it.. it feels bad.
I've always used Titanium Backup and it works great.

I have tried many backup apps.
but Titanium backup is confusing for me. I dont know how to use it properly.
if you where charging through your pc with usb cable
then maybe your usb cable wasnt correctly and had giving it a electrical shock
this happens to me a lot when i charge my phone
my pc self is buggy but yeah
My friend has a Droid Incredible 2, when she launches the camera app she gets multiple colors on the screen. Same result on Sense 3.6 leak and UKB Evolution Sense 4 ROM. Pictures come out just fine and even screenshots, it's just when shes trying to see what shes taking a picture of. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
First question would be what is her root method? Second, has she tried a stock Rom like bonestock?

She used the HTC Unlock method, and the Sense 3.6 was a Bonestock ROM I believe

Did she pull out the boot.img before flashing? Htc unlock has its hiccups and things can't be flashed the same.

Yep, I helped her flash everything so I know it was done right, but with both ROMs is what I don't get. Could it be a hardware issue?
Yeah, maybe the ROM or root isn't sitting right. Have you tried wiping the cache(s) or re-installing/downloading the ROM's? If those aren't the case then try and OEM lock the phone and re-root it again. If that doesn't work, then the camera might be funky.
Gonna see if that works, hopefully it does haha

A 3.6 ROM isn't going to be stock.
Have her try Nitsuj's StockM ROM.

Is there a settings that is on that is causing this? If not it could be a hardware issue.
I think one way of telling for sure is to get rid of the HTC unlock and fully root to see if it has to do with how the phone is handling the flashing of the ROM's. If it still occurs, then I would guess hardware.
I'm gonna see if running the RUU will the problem. That way I know if its a hardware issue or software

I have broke my phone and the lcd and screen has broke so no touch screen or display works. I have insurance on it so I need to ship it out soon for a return. I want to back it up so I dont lose all of my stuff. Could I install clock work mod recovery and look at another phone I have using the hard ware keys to get to the back up selection and put the backup on my computer and when I get the new phone, put it on there and restore? Im pretty sure I can do that but will they allow the return if I had flashed clockwork mod. I dont see how they couldnt because they send me the new phone first and I send mine back after I already have the new phone so they cant deny the return can they?
No you can't mount USB drive from recovery.
