Up until recently there was a free application in the market that allowed you to use buzz in a 1.6 android device. I just wiped and went to download it, and is gone! I believe it was just called "buzz".
Anyone who still has it can upload it?
Thanks
I think that app was just a shortcut to the web site. The mobile web page works just fine on a 1.6 device, it is just a little limited I believe.
But it had a nice icon...
Same icon gets created when I create a shortcut to the mobile web site on my home screen.
Really? I only get an icon of a webpage...
what ROM are you running?
If I long press on the home screen and select "Shortcut" I get a menu to choose the type of shortcut. If I select "Bookmark" I then get taken to the browser's bookmark screen, where I just select my Buzz bookmark. The fancy little Buzz icon then shows up on my home screen.
The latest Cyanogen.

i have a quick question:
i recently installed the htc home 6 button screen, and the htc home customizer
on the program launcher window there originally was an icon that takes me to the comm manager/wireless manager but i removed in an effort to re-arrange the buttons. but now i cant find it in the list of apps to add.
would it be possible for someone to direct me on how to get it back? thanks.

When you remove an icon from the launcher, there should be an empty space with a circle with a cross in it. Pressing that, should bring up thelist of apps you're talking about. On my device, it is just a few scrolling lines down.
Have you tried just typing "Comm Manager" in the top bar and press select?
unfortunately no luck on the typing in and hitting select. it just goes to the closest match in my case "contacts"
It was originally one of the first six or so items in the selection menu, if its not there i dont know where it would be.
I want the same thing, to add the Comm Manager to one of the launcher buttons, rather than trying to tap the connection icon at the top of the screen.
i use pocket toolman 2 which places a icon in the system tray with a host of other icons you can select. its quick, easy, and free... good app

I am not 100% sure which one but either Schaps advanced config or KaiserTweak one of those two things have option to enable wireless thingy on today screen. It shows your current wifi and bluetooth connections and clicking takes you to connection manager. I would first try KaiserTweak.

Worked out how to do it earlier.
Browse to the windows folder and make sure you've got all files visible.
Look for the executable CommManager.exe, right click on it, select copy.
Browse to windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools right click, select paste shortcut.
Right click and rename the new short cut from, "Shortcut to CommManager.exe" to CommManager
Then it will be visible in the list of applications you can add to your shortcut buttons on the HTC homescreen. You can use the same method for any other applications you want on the launcher if they're not available automatically.
(I pasted the shortcut where I thought it most appropriate on the start menu).
thanks 6thElement. that shortcut worked.
thanks TimeSaver. i used KaiserTweak to enable wireless on the today screen initially.
This trick did not work for me. I have the Dutty WM6.1 Diamond ROM.
I need to put the Connection Manager on the Today screen, so that it can show me what am I connected to, but it does not show up in the Today item list.
I created a Registry key for iy in HKLM\Softwate\Microsoft\Today\Items and it showed up in the list, but still does not work, brobably because I am linking to the wrong DLL.
May someone, who has the CommManaget on their Today screen see what are the correct Registry entries in HKLM\Softwate\Microsoft\Today\Items for the Comm Manager and post here?
never mind my previous post - I found that what I was looking for was called "wireless" and can be added through the Kaiser tweak....
Guys,
on the open home screen the two tabs at the side, one to store fav apps the one on the left when I click it just takes me to google search widget.
Is there a way to change this or is this just how it is.
Seems pointless having this and the google search widget as part of the skin too.
Not quite unerstanding what you mean. Are you talking about the little tabs either side of the bigger phone button at the bottom left and right of the screen?
If so the one of the left with the up arrow inside a circle goes to a list of all of your apps (not just your favourites). the one on the right with a + sign is for adding widgets or shortcuts to the screen you are in.
He's talking about the pull-out drawer and button at the bottom of openhome.
They can be turned off in the OpenHome settings, IIRC (menu > more > OpenHome settings), Though I can't check as I no longer use openhome.

Hi,
Thanks for response, I managed to work it out in the end last night.
I'm having a lot of force closing and some random rebooting though with Open Home and not sure why. Any suggestions? - it's happened on the older version and now the newer one.
For example, I go into settings>about phone > battery use alot, is there I way I can put a direct link on the homescreen?
Or infact any deep settings or deep menu options? obviously its not a widget and I dont see how I can accomplish this?
Is there an app out there
Just like adding a program icon, instead select "shortcuts" then "settings" from the list, there will be lots of options.
just long press the homescreen, shortcut, and all the settings menus will be there. example I have a direct link to battery use on my homescreen.

Although these suggestions are very good, you can do so much more with "AnyCut." It is on the Market. Once you have it installed, long press on the home screen, pick Shortcut, and select AnyCut. You can make shortcuts to almost anything.

Will this theme work with the newest 1.19 version of TL?
i'm running it on 1.1.10

Ok i will try it with 1.1.19 and report if it works.
Ok, first report:
The taskbar looks not very good, see screen shot of the home page.
The programs page is very hard to scroll, it overshoots always and one has to scroll up and down to get to the program. One can only scroll over the program tabs and also to stop scrolling, so it is very often the case that a program is unwanted launched. It would be better if there was the possibility to scroll on the side of the program tabs.
On the other pages the regular windows taskbar is shown.
That is all for the moment... i am still playing with it. I love the look of this theme, really. Thanks for this.
thanks for the fb - the artifacts could be a result of the rom you are using. i have had that appear once or twice since upgrading to 6.5 but it does tend to disappear?

Yes you were right, it has disappeared now.
I sense a bigger battery drain, but i am not sure if it is due to TL itself.
Also i think the sliding from one page to the next or the opening of a page through the buttons could be a bit faster.
Otherwise this theme just rocks.
Are you DaceC?
This theme is amazing and your best work, I tested on my Imagio and it works very good.
I always recommend to use Standalone mode with TL instead of plugin today, it works better.
congratulations!!
Yes I am DaveC ironically I hadn't intended to get so involved with TL when I registered so decided to use mix up my name. Now im stuck with two names.
I have never actually tried standalone mode - will have to give it a go.
While I am not personally a fan of the theme style, I must say that I am impressed. Very good job sir. Keep it up!

If you are using stanalone mode, just delete the "Background" path if you have one.

you have to go into the subsystems and hailing freqencies and set to vibrate or sound off at the moment.
i could probably add a switch to the config file that will mute the theme sounds but not the phone sounds for 1.1

If you are running as a today page try in standalone.
What device resolution are you using? i think for thr W version I could space the icons out a little more but in the mean time you can press and hold to scroll up or down in blocks without it actually selecting the item you have pressed.

I have the same device as you Omnia i900, WQVGA.
Ok scrolling like that works better.
I have seen that sometimes i have to restart TL as it becomes sluggish and unresponsive.
Will try to use as standalone, i only need to see how to exit TL programatically, as i use a switcher to switch between Titanium, TouchFLO, MobileShell and TL.
that must make for a huge memory overhead
Alright, I did some searching, but like any forum, it's generally messy.
I was interested updating my Nook, to either Froyo, or Gingerbread(?), or the latest firmware from B&N...
Rooting it, and retaining root.
Perhaps getting GApps
Definitely getting Market access.
If anyone could point me to the best links in an orderly fashion, I would appreciate that many folds.
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting
http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor
good luck
you don't even need to search. all of the threads are on the first page of the dev forum.
That may be but I wasn't aware that development was for the general user. I'm new here using my husband's account.
Thanks for the help guys.
Sorry for being really retarded, but how to add widgets to home screen? Namely the facebook one.
Also how come downloaded apps don't appear in extra till i reboot the book? I can search and access them but not from the extras menu till reboot.

What launcher are you using, stock?
Yes... is there a method to do it with stock via ADB or a launcher you recommend?
Try LauncherPro or ADW, or just search the market for "Launcher". After you install a new launcher, the next time that you press your home button, you'll see a dialog with the list of installed launcher apps with a checkbox at the bottom.
If you have SoftKeys installed, I'd set that as the default (ticking the checkbox), and then configure SoftKeys to passthru a single press of the home button to LauncherPro, ADW, or whatever you want for a home screen manager/launcher.
Once you replace the stock launcher, to add a widget, perform a "long press" on the home screen. This is simply pressing on an available (no icon) area of the home screen for ~2 seconds. You should now see the "Add to home screen" dialog where you can select from several actions. Select "Widgets" and a list of available widgets will be displayed.
HTH
Ok set soft keys as home now how doi configure it to passthrough?
Go to the app drawer and launch SoftKeys. Click the screwdriver icon on the toolbar that appears at the bottom of the screen. This will bring you to the SoftKeys configuration screen.
Select "Virtual Home Button"
Select "Normal Press"
A list of all installed launchers will appear.
Select the one that you want the SoftKeys virtual home button to launch when it's pressed.
Press the back button
Select "Physical Home Button"
Select "Button"
Select the option "Single Tap Launcher, Double Tap SoftKeys"
Now, when you press the home button, you'll go straight to your default launcher. A quick double-press will take you to the SoftKeys app, which acts as a task switcher, among many other things.
Thanks that was a big help guys.
