Hi!
I have a question.
I got the HTC Legend, with stock 2.2 FroYo, Unbranded and unlocked.
Question is, how do I change the lock-screen?
I don't like Sense UI and disabled that, BUT still got the Sense UI lock-screen, not the FroYo (right to left) lock-screen.
So, again, how do I get that to work?
thanks in advance

Could get widgetlocker from the market...other than that custom roms...only thing I know to tell you...im sure there are other ways im unaware of. Hope this helps.

thanks bunchdx.
Had that, didn't work as I wanted, but I mean, the Sense UI on HTC's devices have a lock screen that goes up, and down.
I have disabled the Sense UI and I am running Android like the nexus one, wich is stock android. BUT the only thing that is Sense still, is the lock screen.
I mean, it can't be that Android FroYo has got the Sense UI lock screen.
I want the stock lock screen..
if you know what I mean..

If you're not a Sense guy just flash a AOSP ROM.
Other than that: Idk. How did you disable the Sense lockscreen to start with?

Naa, I have the stock rom, just disabled the Sense UI and am currently running a clean Android, except for the lock screen, that is still Sense UI lock screen.
is it no way to get rid of that besides flashin a custom ROM onto that..
the google nexus one doesn't have the sense ui lock screen, so why can't I get that on my legend, it is the same system.. Or am I off track?
cheers // zajko

So by "disabling" Sense you've installed a different launcher? (LaucherPro, ADW, etc).
You gotta flash a different ROM. You're running a Sense ROM. It doesn't contain the Froyo lockscreen. Flash an AOSP ROM and you'll get it.

yeah got the LauncherPro..
Ok, then I was a bit off track, thought that all sense ui stuff was disabled.
but I disabled the sense ui before I got the launcherpro installed.
That is why I was under the impression that it should be disabled.
Damn, so I need to downgrade, root, upgrade and flash another rom..
bummer... hehe..
thank you for the explanation of that..
Kjempe flott..

The lockscreen is not launcher dependent but ROM dependent. I can understand your thought pattern though You don't actually "disable" Sense you just choose to use LPP as your 'standard' launcher.
Rooting and flashing shouldn't be that hard. It's all worth it in the end, hehe.
- Ikke noe problem ^^,

I don't have any experience with the Legend. But a good tip is set aside some time to root your phone.
Use an hour to read rooting guides, twice - Then start the rooting.
This thread has a lot of useful information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747890 - So check that out.
I doubt you need a gold-card or anything like that.

If you have root, you have to delete HTC_lockscreen.apk in /system/app via adb.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
you can try lock bot => http://www.appbrain.com/app/lockbot-free/com.jackdoit.lockbotfree
idk if you need root for it , you can choose a theme or fast create a new one , and then you can select style => froyo
hope this helps
First of all I am a noob but reading your threads, i was able to root my captivate and install cognition v2.3b8 on my phone... everything works great... i have a dumb question... the new setup came with 6 home screen/ windows... i want to delete all the windows/screens and just keep one... but after long search have been unable to find a way. Can somebody please help. Thanks
You need to find a launcher in the market that you like and stick with that so you are not always at the whim of the developer with regard to the launcher included in the rom. The launcher included in that rom is not customizable...at least not in a user friendly way.
Thanks
Ok that makes... any recommendations for the launcher? Something that keeps the original look

If you're a complete noob the easiest way to get a gingerbread look on your captivate would be flashing a theme package the same way you flashed your rom.
The best and safest way for a beginner I think is to follow a youtube video and this one shows you all the steps with a preview of what you're about to install. But as said before you need to have ClockworkMod the same method you probably used for flashing your rom.

Hey Guys I put together a Q&A thread for this rom to prevent tons of new threads about rom Spicific questions from new users.. Please feel free to post any questions here.
As Aslways there is no Flaming, name calling or the such.
No question is too noobish, But please look for your answer first.
Now for the info needed to help. In your post make sure to included the version of the rom you are using, modem, kernel, ext...
Also please give it some time for your question to be answered.

Would anyone like to post there likes and dislikes about the ROM so people who do not have it can know what to expect?

This thread is for issues related to the rom. Likes and dislikes are user based and will not do any good as for what to expect and all custom roms are a best for you type of thing. I could say that I like this this and this about the rom but some one else would say that they dont like the same things. See my point? Each rom has an outline for the rom in the first post.
Love the rom. I'm on 2.1 and have noticed my camera won't work, just FCs. Extracted some old phoenix and SN roms I had on my phone and tried to copy the .apk and camera firmware into system/app using root explorer and reboot. No luck. Any ideas? I would prefer not to reflash.
Thanks in advance.

In addition to the point that each user/device could respond differently to the ROM/Modem/Kernel. The 3 of us could be running identical setup's and all have very different experiences

Just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread. As a noob it's nice to have a way to communicate until you reach your post count.
I am running;
Rom: super nova 2.1
Kernel: speedmod-k13b-500hz #54
Baseband version: i9000ugjk4
The problems I am experiencing aren't a major deal, just thought I would mention them.
1. When I am connected to wifi and try and use the Facebook app I get a connection timeout message. While using at&t data I don't.
2. I get a FC when trying to open the Fox News app.
Enjoying Adams and teams work, thanks.

Try restoring the stock email.apk that came with the rom, no idea why they're tied together but they are.
As for FCing on the Fox News app, I got that too and just uninstalled it, not sure why it was doing that.

SN 2.3
Has anyone checked their "About Phone" info under the settings after flashing the 2.3 download and still see their "Build number" as Supernova 2.1??
Shouldn't this be 2.3 instead of 2.1 or was the revision number suppose to stay the same this update?

Have not had an issue with gmail at all. Are you restoring anything before trying it? Did you do a stock flash and master clear and then load the rom?

Thank you for letting me know. I went through a few pages, but I must have not looked at early enough postings to see anyone comment about it.
I could tell the update took effect when the kernal was updated to Speedmod and some other graphical difference when flashing from 2.1, but just wanted to make sure.
Also, does anyone know where to grab the 2.1 ringtones from the zip file? There was a nice one in there that I'd like to get back.
Thanks in advance

Ah awesome, that was so easy! thank you!
I am on 2.3 and this is my favourite one so far. Really enjoy the Phoenix team roms. With other roms I have noticed that when you touch the screen the soft home keys do not light up. If you touch the keys themselves they light up for only 3 seconds. I found I had to use an app/widget called keep the lights on for that issue. With this rom however, the soft keys work perfect. If I touch anywhere on the screen they light up for 10 seconds or more just like my stock did.
If I ever check out another Rom is there something I could import from this to keep that great feature? I don't think I will be flashing for a while after this one. But once flashaholism sets in sometimes I have no choice...lol

Thinking About Migrating
Hello all, I've been a loyal Perception user since I purchased my Captivate and tried out several of the active ROMs. I've started to look for a new ROM since DG announced that the Perception line was defunct. I have a few questions regarding Supernova:
1) Are there other themes, loaded stock, with the ROM. The black one from the screenshot isn't really my style.
2) Does this ROM include the three-button fix? My phone is one of the unlucky few that cannot boot to recovery mode via button holding.
3) For those of you who have flashed many a ROM and decided to use Supernova, what do you like about it best? Why did you select this ROM over the others available?

1) Yes there are other themes, I am currently running SN JS5 version and using Nunhugger's Absolution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10254722&postcount=5
at this point, it appears most JPY/JS5 themes will work with any JPY/JK3/JS5 ROMS
2) My phone also does not have 3 button. But it has the extended power menu, long press on the power button gives you the option to boot to Download, Recovery, Reboot, etc.
3) Honestly, I move between Phoenix, Supernova, and FireFly. Adam and Team have a level of detail I havent seen around, but the big part is the support. There is NO flaming on his threads, so people arent affraid to ask question if they cant figure something out. They are all solid ROM's very stable, very well put together. In the end I couldnt tell you one of them is better than the other, just a little bit different

No you didn't follow them EXACTLY. The installation is designed so that errors can't occur if the user does it properly. Are you using CWM?
Well since you think you're so god damn perfect and that you couldn't have made a mistake you obviously don't need our help. Obviously it must be a problem with MIUI
If you just want a faster phone, you should try just running JVB stock. That is by far the fastest ROM I've tried so far. And yes; I've tried MIUI.
And if you want it even faster you should try CF 3.1.

Anyone can give my a kind of idiot guide to emplement some 3.0 stuff in my IS?
Me too, I'm new to customising Android. I have done iphones and psp in the past but the information is not clear on this topic and seems to be all over the place and spread accross many topics.
I currenty have flashed the standard virgin Rom to debrand my IS and I have made it s-off and its now rooted with clockwork mod recovery installed. I would like to install some Denver 3 stuff to the standard Rom but being a noob I'm reluctant to try with out a better understanding.
Could someone please give us noobs a straight forward guide in doing this.

why don't you try the Virtuous Unity 1.25.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122805
It works very well for people who like sense!
Yeah just downloaded it and about to give it a shot. I hope I dont screw up my phone. Never done this before.
I just figured it would be easier to add the stuff to an existing rom rather than flash a complete custom one.
Cheers
Pat
I personaly don't like the Sense 3.0 to much animation which gets kind of boaring after some time and sucks performance and battery!
Just my oppinion
well, with a Nabdroid Backup you should ot be worried to try a new ROM as you can always go back!
I tried the first relase of the Cyanogen ROM and that's the one for me so far.
I already liked the stock ROM on the Nexus S - but not the device itself.
So the Cyanogen ist very close - but better!
Is it easy to do? the instructions seem simple enough. I have made a back up of my existing rom, so if something goes wrong I can re flash my original rom and be back to square 1 correct.
Correct - it is a full image.
You go back exactly to the point where you created the recovery.
I love this feature - it makes it possible to try out a different ROM without loosing all the work you did on the ROM.
Last thing before I do it. It says to do a full wipe? Is this done in the recovery menu? do I do wipe data/factory reset as well as wipe cache partition?
Or is this a different thing all together?
Cheers
PAt
A wipe data/factory reset is sufficient. People will say do it three times, but you only have to do it once.

Im really just after the lock screen and the weather widget. The other stuff imnot fussed about.
The resolution on the unity rom is a bit funny. It all functions great tho.
I tried the android revolution HD and that worked except for the market wouldnt download.
Is there a way to just flash the lock screen and widgets to a stock un modified virgin au ROM?
Cheers

Would HIGHLY recommend this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
There's nothing different to the Stock Rom apart from the fact it runs alot more smoothly.
You then install this:-
•HTC Sense 3.0 "All in 1" (version 0.3) for Android Revolution HD 1.0.x
And voila - Sense 3.0
Thats the one I had and the market didnt work, formated and flashed it 3 times.
hello guys! im also a newbie here(esp in android) but i also want to S-off my incredible S, i know that there are already several topics regarding s-off but honestly i dont know how to perfom it and im really afraid to brick my phone, can you please help me guys! any help will be greatly appreciated! thanks : )
