Open Home full feature 1.5 build

Hey guys,
Is anyone brave enough to test the full feature 1.5 build of Open Home Full? We know we can always find some brave ones here
It requires that you are running android 1.5 on your phone (aka Cupcake). This build has full supports of 1.5 widgets and also a good amount of stability and performance improvements.
We had not done a lot of testing on this build; also this build will expire in a month (5/30). If you want to test the latest and greatest, feel free to install and try this build.
*Remember safe mode is hold menu button when powering on*, if you see anything wrong, just enter safe mode and then uninstall it.
Do NOT install unless you are running android 1.5
Download the apk at

I assume since I'm running the dudes build and it supports widgets it may work. I can always remove if necessary . This doesnt remove open home right? just a different version?
EDIT: it replaces the existing open home

Hmm, I was impressed with the demo of OpenHome when I downloaded it a couple days ago. I'll take a look.

downloading it now. I have just flashed the holiday cupcake build so I assume it'll work with this. I'll let you know.

So far so good. I am glad to have openhome back again in 1.5
I have added all widgets, and they all work as expected. Are some of these the 1.5 "stock" widgets? I assume so because i see 2 music widgets listed, one looks like your own and the other a stock one.
I'll let you know how it goes after some proper usage. great work so far though. thankyou.
oh, p.s .. Will this be a free upgrade for those who had previosly purchased open home full ?

Works well enough. I like it.
Normally use full edition but will keep this until it is updated.
Suggestion: How about that calendar widget from Haykuro's build so those with dude's builds can use it?

Using it. Works well so far. I'm an OH Full user too, will I have any problems going back to the market app when it gets updated/released?
Ps. Is there any way to add support for Jeff Sharky's weather widgets? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509729

Weather widgets ok here. Problem with battery percentage widget though

It's already supported. That weather widget is working fine for me.

Hey guys i like the changes the menus are a little more intuitive now! Shame it doesn't seem to maintain your icons from older version, but weirdly kept my fonts theme etc - not sure if that qualigfies as a bug or not really
One problem i have found though is it seems to scrap folder icons the second you open bettercut again, not a huge problem but ....

BUGS!
I have almost 200 apps to SD so it's convenient to have my favorite "few" on the desktop. After I installed the new apk file... everything was GONE! Huge inconvenience! Then when I pull up the app menu I can watch them appear one after another like the app is doing a search for the installed apps. I also tried Picture Frame. It seems like it pulls up the Camera app, then the gallery. I selected my picture. Cropped it. Saved it. Then it went back to "select picture" again. Strange. Also... AnyCut Open Home Edition doesn't work. Definite bugs.
Other then that I love it. Thanks! Is this going to be in an update and when will it be available in Market? I purchased the full version months ago.

I don't think it has anything to do with bettercut because I don't have it installed and it still goes back to the default folder icons randomly, sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't.

Yea that kind of pissed me off when I realized it took all my stuff off the screen and the dock. It works fine besides these few issues though.

Hey quick question, is there any way to add a 3d effect on swipe? Like when you swipe to left or right screen, screen shrinks and rotates as a 3d cube. That will be awesome dude, you can name the app something different and charge for it again because I know damn well people will pay for it. I definitely will.

The reguar widget works for me, but not his. It isn't even displayed as an option.

Trying it out on my new Magic

But it's not 'open' in any sense...

Really dissapointed in losing all of my icons on all 7 screens. Glad that "real" widget support was actually added in. Almost went back to dxTop because of this. Please make the full version available on the market as an upgrade to the old full version. It would be nice to make it detect the old settigns and import them in.

Hey guys.. uhh i accidentally set my home to default instead of open home.. any help would be appreciated!

Opps. You have to wipe now.
Just kidding. You deal with it the same way as if you would set the defaults as any other app. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>Clear defaults.

Been using this app for a few days now.I havent ran into any problems with it pretty smooth.Only down side was losing my icons.But no biggie.

Fancy widget?

Anybody have the apk for fancy widget?

Yes, I do. I'm not at home right now, and I'm not sure when I will be home. I'm on a short vacation and the apk file is on my desktop computer at home. I found it on the internet if you want to look for it, or you can wait until I get back home (which will be Monday morning--I think).

I tried searching for it on google, but I think all of sites were forced to take it down due to HTC's C&D.

I love the look of Fancy Widget, but I'm constantly having a problem with the time not updating. The task is not being killed since it's on my task killer's ignore list. It seems to happen at random times...sometimes while the phone is in standby, other times while in use. Is there a solution for this?

It's funny you say that because BW has always worked perfectly for me, and for that reason I switched back to it. That's fine with me because I just saw a skin I really like, and I e-mailed the dev to see if he could modify it slightly. He cooperated and now BW looks very very close to the Sense look (other than the weather icon being on the right rather than centered).

This is the best HTC Sense-like clock. It looks even better than Weather Widget with h7c skin, but has this strange update issue, when I have to wait sometimes for clock to update.
BTW It shows us how Market is NOT open and without control . It's better than AppStore and we can always use *.apk, but it's sad that if some app isn't good for hTC for example, they simply delete it.

It wasn't deleted, HTC asked the developer to take it down I beleive. It was taken down by their choice from what I read, and probably a good idea. It was so similar to the HTC one, I'm sure they have rights on it

The Market never claimed to be open or without control, its just a heck of a lot less demanding/strict than the app store... The underlying code for Android is open but anything that manufacturers or devs add to the code itself (IE: Sense UI, Motoblur etc...) along with the apps on the market, are proprietary and therefore NOT open (unless otherwise stated).

no weather info is displayed on v1.2.4

How do you check if there is no virus or malware (calling international numbers i.e.) in any of these files? Is there any other way to check this, besides blind trust?

Should say in manifest (request privileges) if it can make phone calls -- which this app only asks for GPS & Internet access.

Been digging online and through the forums with no luck...can somone post up the old version of Fancy Widget??
Nevermind...guess they don't allow it on here. If anyone can PM me it, that'd be awesome...

Mango HTC Apps Updates

To all of you that have WP7 Mango, HTC has released new HTC HUB and Flashligth updates.
New HUB has the newest look
Just update in Marketplace and have fun.

very good， thanks
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Well i updated my HTC Hub but the LiveTile still doesent show the temperature!?
Can any one confirm this (in germany)? :-(

I confirm that the live tile doesn't update with the HTC Hub v2.2
It seems to be a specific on HD2.
Waiting for a solution and on this time, i use Hub NOW from Samsung.

The new hub only updates when opened and live tile shows temperature and location (at least for me it does) but we lost the ability to choose how often it updates.

what is your rom version ?

I don't spend much time outside of the HD2 forums

Pity none of the new Htc apps work though, i'm talking about htc watch and Htc connected media. Lets hope one of the devs can hook us up.

any solution for the HTC Hub Live tile?

My HTC Hub also stopped showing weather and temperature now.

my htc hub working fine, every time i connect it updates in tile and displayes temp

HTC Connected media works fine on my HD2 running Yuki 7.10.7720.68

u need to install the htc media stream as well in order for it to work on hd2. I've got it running fine ... sorry can't remember the link but should come up in a search.

Getting really tired of seeing "device not supported" now, some of it is due to the compass but i just paid for Gmaps Pro only to see that message yet again when trying to login to the latitude site through the browser.

kahiro, link would be gr8?
did search cant find anything
thanks

[Q] Blinkfeed Questions, Issues & Solutions

After resetting my phone I now have Tips & Help tiles in my blinkfeed and I can't get rid of them. I've now tried to unsubscribe from all feeds and yet it's still there. Any suggestions?

I thought the tips and help tiles were there from not subscribing to anything?
The tiles will always be there, just because you unsubscribe doesn't make them disappear, it's a built in widget.

I just don't want tips & help tiles in my blinkfeed. I don't believe they were there before I reset my phone because prior to that when I unsubscribed from all the feeds the screen was virtually blank. But the problem is now whether I subscribe to zero or as many feeds as I can, there are still always some tips & help tiles within my blinkfeed and I can't get rid of them. Currently I san see two 2 Get started tiles.

You can't get rid of it, i have just unsubscribed from all feeds an i have 1 big tile left with nothing on it, like i said it's an embedded widget which is always there for now......until devs get around it and give us the option to remove it completely via custom roms.

Yes, what you can see ("1 big tile left with nothing on it") is what I saw before I reset my phone. Now I have 1 big Get started tile.. actually 2 (a small and a medium). Hmmm

So if you get started, then unsubscribe from everything you should be left with 1 tile.........Rooting and Rom'ing is the way forward when devs figure it out, people are already workig on it.

I did try that that before. In fact I tried to delete the entire app (which can't be done - at least I couldn't). I presume that for some that may be part of the solution but that alone didn't not work for me as mine stubbornly did not move.
I called HTC about the matter and now although the 2 remaining tiles are still present, they have been relegated to the bottom of the blinkfeed so it's not much of an issue anymore. Hopefully they will eventually slip of the edge and be gone forever with further refreshes in the feed content - maybe. Below is an extract of the email response from HTC.
----------
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC One.
As discussed on the phone I would like to get back to you regarding the Blinkfeed and Zoe issue on your handset.
We just tested a HTC One here and at first could not update the Blinkfeed either. Then we restored it to factory settings and after that we could update Blinkfeed again.
When you can update Blinkfeed you will see that if you add interest to Blinkfeed the tile 'get the latest news that matters to you' will be moved further down, and will no longer be visable on the homescreen (unless you scroll down).

Hey people. I know it is not a topic for doubts but I could not understand how the BlinkFeed manages 2 or more RSS custom feeds.
I had the impression that it does not mix all the feeds so I have to slide the screen to the left and tap the other feeds to check all of them.
Should it be like that? I look for a interface that works like the dead Google Reader.

[Q] HTC Clock on WXGA Windows Phone 8?

Hi! :laugh:
I really miss HTC Clock from my old HTC 8X and I would love to have it on my Nokia Lumia 920. I wanted to install it using the Fiddler2 method but that didn't work because WXGA resolution isn't supported by the application. So, here's what I thought:
ATIV S users should be able to install HTC Clock using Fiddler2 method because the resolution is the same. After they install the app they could get the encrypted XAP using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462730
I don't know if the application uses "ID_CAP_INTEROP", if yes, I suppose we wouldn't be able to deploy the application on dev-unlocked phones and this would be useless, but if not It should only be necessary to open WMAppMainfest.xml and add this tag in <ScreenResolutions>:
Code:
<ScreenResolution Name="ID_RESOLUTION_WXGA" />
Even though the application wouldn't run (i don't really know if it would), the live tile should work fine, no?
I'm afraid that Interop is required to update the live tile every minute, but I would know your opinion about that.
Bye :fingers-crossed:.

You tried this ? (if you have developer account)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260156
Sadly enough, because of unexpected limitations the time only updates every ~40 minutes when you download
the TimeMe application from the store, you can however download a sideload version which requires a developer
unlocked phone from the project website: http://projects.arnoldvink.com which will update the time every minute.

Wow thank you, this app is great! :highfive:
Anyway I can't see any option to display only the clock just like HTC application does. The app overall is great, but most important since this app updates the clock every minute without interop capabilities maybe it's really possible to port HTC clock to all WP8 phones! :laugh:
Could someone with an unlocked ATIV S try this? :fingers-crossed:

Thanks very much

I tried it, the app verifies if you are really using a HTC Device, if not, the clock won't work. You just get a blank tile like on my ATIV S.
