Is it possible to remove apps that are installed by the ROM? There are a couple of things I want to remove, like Android contacts, dialer etc. I prefer the HTC variants.
This is easily done. You can use something like CookAndroid.com or use WinRAR to go into the zip file and delete the correct APKs. Please note, that some APKs are critical for the Android platform.

Do you think they will go back to AMOLED?

I don't really want an SLED one if I can help it. Although I won't be getting mine until October time anyway as prices for the Desire will fall with the (maybe) release of the desire HD.

Hopefully, yes. Although you will be very hard pressed to notice the difference between SLCD and AMOLED. I would still prefer AMOLED.

Sadly, there's still no word from HTC on when Friendstream will support Twitter's new OAuth mechanism.

Looks like Twitter has fixed it for mobile clients (Twitter status update) although I presume this isn't using OAuth as that would require an update to Peep/Friend Stream?

Running Leedroid now.

How is that Swype application Singh?

Swype is great, been using it since I got the Desire, signed up for the BETA straight away. There is a similar keyboard in the market called TouchIT I believe the demo is free, but time based so would need uninstalling and reinstalling etc. Bit of a pain.

Installed LauncherPro to give it a whirl the other day.

Holy **** its a significant improvement on my battery with the same usage as I'd give SenseUI.

I love that its more customisable too - is anyone else using it? If so, what widgets/themes do you use?

Conclusion therefore: try LauncherPro and be happy - I can finally use my Desire to its fullest without worrying about the battery dying on me mid-afternoon!

:laugh:

Swype, is THE best thing I have ever come across on the Android platform. Seriously, killer app.

I use it, I'm not sure it's the best thing because there's so many and I'm so happy with my Desire but it is by far the best keyboard I've used on any mobile device. I reckon it takes less a 10 sms to get used to it.

For other Swype users, since I flashed my ROM and reinstalled last weekend I'm missing the smilely button on the bottom right hand side of the keyboard (when writing sms for example), is this

a) something to do with the ROM?

b) something I can change?

c) an update by Swype (I ask because I redownloaded Swype instead of restoring my apps backup and wondered if it was a newer version than before)?

Thanks

I have started using the keyboard mod Audioboxer mentioned, and I find it a bit better than the stock HTC keyboard, being multitouch it allows for faster text input. Only annoyance is that you can't long press to insert numbers and characters as you can on the HTC keyboard.

I managed to get push email working with Hotmail on my Desire, running Android 2.2 with HTC Sense (Custom baked Modaco R8 Rom)

You need to use the stock Android Email app and not the HTC Mail app, for whatever reason the HTC Mail app just doesnt work.

I have uploaded the stock Email app here, however dont know if thats all you need to install it on your Desire as i ripped it out my baked rom.

Settings:

Setup an exchange email account.

Domain / username: \[email protected] (you need the \ before the email)

Password: Only you know that :p

Server: m.hotmail.com

Tick the use secure connection box.

For the email check frequency select Automatic (push)

As you can see it works perfectly, no more "failed to create the account" errors :)

Been using a different method for a while now. Someone over at XDA suggested using this app. Works perfectly fine (Y)

The Angry Birds port is pretty impressive imo. Hard to tell the differences between this and the iPhone version. Android needs more polished apps like these imo. Wish more devs would port their apps to Android and put in as much effort as these guys have with Angry Birds.

Damn, the game is very addictive, been playing it non-stop since yesterday. We need more games like this.

No, not to my knowledge. With Brut mod, Google Maps ****es all over any other map app.

As far as I know, doesn't Brut just add navigation worldwide, what else does it have that standard Google Maps doesn't?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.3 changelog: Fixes issues with MP4 files with more than 8 channels Fixes incorrect VBR detection for some CBR MP3 files Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
