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
http://groups.google.com/group/openhome/files
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.
Anyone know where this app is?
I'm sure the challenge is over

luma alock is that the one?
What makes it so different from the last one mentioned?
lockbot is sweet, it actually spins. spin one way to unlock and spin the ohter way to silent/vibrate, just like eclair lockscreen. i like it. plus a lot of customizable options you can do like rearrange stuff, change out icons, etc all within the app itself. much better than lock2.0.
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but popups from Handcent and SMS Popup no longer work while Lockbot is enabled.
It is pretty customizable. I did the lockscreen in my sig with it..

i have handcent and popups still works fine for me with lockbot enabled.
I guess it didn't work for me, because I have the popups set to be restricted. Once I put it on always allow, it works again. I actually went back to the Stericson Locksceen though and created a Metamorph to change the background whenever I want. Less problems and I don't have to have popups set to always allow (kind of annoying when I'm working on something).
In my job I have the opportunity to work with a large variety of phones that multiple carriers in the United States sell. One interesting feature I saw was on the Blackberry Curve 8500 series, in which when you plug your phone into a USB device, it automatically goes to an analog clock screen.
I know that in 2.1 ROMs for the Hero, we have a nice program called Desk clock, which shows a digital clock moving to random parts of the screen.
My question is, is there a way to configure Desk Clock so that it automatically turns on when I plug my phone into my computer?
+1. An application like this would be just awesome.
There you go
I built a little something for you.
For now, it is really just a prototype.
If installing works and you open it, it will show nothing. This is not a bug, there is just nothing to show. The service listening for power plugins is running in the background, so just hit home and ignore it.
It will try to launch the android 2.1 clock first and then the HTC one when you connect the power supply.
I'll try to give it some kind of UI later, but for now, I've got a train to catch. Have fun with it.
Thanks a lot, MrMooh! I'll test it once I get back from work and post the results.
It works like a charm. It seems it calls the HTC Clock application, not this dedicated 'Desk Clock' app from 2.1, but it's even better for me. Awesome work, thank you so very much, MrMooh.
EDIT:
Is there a way to make this service run at startup in background?
I'll look into it. I already have an improved version, but it's not what I'd be proud to release. Perhaps at the end of this weekend I will have it finished.
Thanks. I'll be more than happy to do the beta-testing.

I would be interested in this too. Seems like a fine idea. I can beta test if need be.

Alright guys, I quickly made a new version this morning.
It should actually start automatically after booting up and you have a button to manually start and stop the service.
Try it out and tell me the bugs
Works perfectly. If there are any bugs - I can't find them. Thanks, once again.

samre here works a treat on villain 5.4. brings up the android clock on mine. but i like it! well done you!
or use tasker (tasker.dinglisch.net), there you can choose to start the app you want when usb / dock plugged and 1000 other features (location based, event based a.s.o...)
Its worked im my sapphire 32b with strokes 2.1 rom version 1.4.2. thx man.
Works great, this was one of the few things I missed about my BlackBerry! MyTouch 1.2 running Cyan 5.07 test 2.
Nice app! Is possible to start the real desk clock ( black screen with time in white ) ? The one that starts with the icon with the pc and the clock...
Great!
The app is for comfort! Great! Thanx!
But I have one comment:
It could be super when the screen goes back to main home screen (not deskclock) after unplugging. It`s just a thing of personal comfort, so maybe somebody can support this.
Thanx again!
thank you dev!
this is neat
New version
I just fired up eclipse and added a few lines. Plugging out the cable will now always get you back to the home screen, no matter what application is running, so don't update if you don't like that behavior.
I could theoretically start the "real" desk clock, but I don't really know what intent to start to make it work. If you find it out, tell me and I will add the option.
PS: Tasker looks like a really good app, thanks for showing me.
It doesn't works in 1.5 roms
I'm making this thread to avoid confusion now that there is a working port.
Well just heard back from xxbabiboi228xx and trock79 apparently will be using parts of his rom in the future, but until then.
Here is my port, everything seems to work and I do not intend on maintaining this. Hope this works out for anyone who wants it.
This is a straight port of xxbabiboi228xx's rom! I did not have anything to do with the development of this rom and take no credit for doing so, only for making it work on the inc.

build 3

Changlog:
build 2:
Cleaned up the sprint stuff and added the gingerbread keyboard. Htc keyboard still there by default. Also added the htc lock screen back with an optional download for the vanilla lockscreen in the first post. You can try a flash over and it should work, but I recommend a full wipe, quite a bit was changed. Let me know if flash over works out if you try. Trimmed 10mb's off.
build 3:
Updated to new host rom (xxbabiboi228xx' 2.4) Changed battery indicator to vertical green with percentage (gingerbread style). Theme changed a little bit here and there.
Integrated rosie right key setting (internet icon still present after change) and notification toggle widget changer (PowerControl settings)
No more bootloop on first boot (you don't have to wait to see the lockscreen twice anymore)
New clean and simple bootanimation, very nice in my opinion
bugs known:
4g settings and sprint apps are still present
Other than that, nothing else that I know of
I have tested:
browser
phone
mms and sms
wifi
bluetooth
gps
market
camera with flash
camcorder (720)
mail and facebook sync
Just to be clear I do not intend to maintain this rom. If anyone else wants to take over from here, great! Its a really nice looking rom for sure. I only did this because it was requested and I liked the look of it. The rom runs great, check it out!

Again, thank you so much for your hard work, and the hard work of BabiBoi! Also the upcoming support from trock79!
You guys are awesome, thank you again!

@synisterwolf: Doesn't say Sprint for me, that is, if you meant the Operator Name/Logo. As br125 mentioned though, the Sprint apps should be present in the ROM. I hope that answers your question?
@Lsdozer: The easy answer to your question is, edit the file called, widget.txt, to your liking.
The file resides in system\customize I believe.
Unfortunately, the tool br125 posted, is only for the Cyanogen ROMs I think. And for the life me, I have been unable to effectively change that text file, using Root Explorer, ES Explorer, and SUManager. People swear that this is the easiest task to take care of, but for me, I have tried it all, when trying to edit from within the phone, and nothing has worked. If you consider editing the file on your computer and push it to your phone, one thing to consider is that I read somewhere that the file has to have a UNIX signature on it, for it to work. This is the reason why I was adamant to try to edit the file, while it was on my phone, well... that and because I have no idea how to push files using ADB or something to my phone... Hope this helps, please let me know if it works for you. If it does, please post what you did, thanks!
On separate notes guys, does anyone know how to restore haptic feedback to the lockscreen, when unlocking? The original ROM came with the Sense the lockscreen, as default, but I believe br125's port defaults to the Vanilla lockscreen.
Other things we can think about is:
1. Figuring out which kernels are working out well on the ROM, since it has now been ported to the Incredible.
2. Maybe getting that Gingerbread keyboard on here ?
Thanks once again to br125, Babiboi, and, trock79 as well!
I will take a look at gettin haptic working for you, i took out the htclockscreen when I ported it and forgot to add it back in. xxbabiboi228xx said that he will be releasing 2.4 tonight most likely and I'll have some free time tomorrow that I could possibly add in his changes/fixes.
As for kernels, any inc. sense kernel will (should) work. ie. incredikernel, heyitslou's kernel etc.
I've flashed Lou's kernel and it works great, I'm currently at 77% and been using it off the charger for about 7 hours or so
edit: the notification toggles shouldn't be hard to get the 4g outta there and add more useful things and I'll put the gingerbread keyboard in there if it works when I take a look at it. Basically I wanna clean up all the sprint leftovers and make it not seem like a port

Sounds great Sir! You are the man !
BTW, I tried getting some of the GB keyboard flashed over into the ROM, from the forum. Maybe it's my luck, but I have never actually gotten a single keyboard flashed successfully through to recovery. Whether it was the EVO or the DInc, same results...
This was no exception of course ...

I've unlocked, installed CWM, rooted it, installed busybox via the busybox installer from the market (which requires root), however titanium tells me that the SU command fails and I should attempt to re-root my device
Where should I go from here before I break something?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Never mind, booted into recovery, reinstalled VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip all is good
had the same drama at first nice fix how are you finding the phone???
So fair I am impressed with the speed, I have not used 4G yet, its not available in my area yes, but its light years ahead of all the other handsets here even on 3G.
Physically I was expecting it to be heavier, and coming from a HTC HD2, the lock and volume buttons are perfectly positioned so that I accidentally press them all the time as they are in opposite of what I am used to and its the same width but 1 cm taller, which means I can no longer use my leather belt pouch I miss having a physical hangup and separate physical answer key which through the circumstances of its birth (WinMo 6.5) the HD2 was blessed with. Build quality on the MicroSD card slot is lacking, it could have been made better. I also miss being able to hot-swap the microsd card as I could in the HD2, instead I have to pull the battery which is annoying.
Software wise, I gotta say that I am REALLY missing MIUI, Sense is very pretty but I find it is not really what I am looking for and its quite clunky in comparison to MIUI... and I hate how it squashes down widgets for no reason at all. I will probably play around with AWD or LauncherPro in the meantime, I'm also not really a fan of the ringpull unlock screen but I'm sure I will get used to it in time. I noticed that the VIVID and RAIDER have sense 3.0, where as the Velocity has Sense 3.5... maybe ROM people can yank a clean build from the Telstra build along with teeter
BlueTooth - Works Great, Syncs INSTANTLY with my car, never skips on A2DP, works great.
Wifi - Works fantastically
Games work great on it, I'm cranking away with my PSX emulator (FPSE) and GTA III runs good, I was originally disappointed it didn't run better but after I reduced the draw distance in the game settings it was good, I think I had too many apps running as well. I installed ATK to take care of that and the phone is much better after I have ATK autorun every hour and clean up background apps.
Battery life I can't tell because I have been using it almost the entire time and it melts through it pretty fast, I'd give it a week of normal day to day use before I really give a verdict on it, I do have the screen at 100% brightness all the time which doesn't help, and I already have an extended battery in the mail. I sync 2 gmail accounts and an exchange account, all in push, and I just leave BT and WIFI on all the time as I like just jumping in the car and it works, or getting home and already being on the wifi.
Overall I give it a 6 out of 10 so far, with CM7 or CM9 and MIUI that would quickly elevate to an 8 out of 10, with all the space inside the phone, the size of the standard battery is disappointing, they could have put one almost twice the size in there if they arranged the sim and microsd slots better.
The biggest problem is that I was really spoiled with the HTC HD2, I'd say 90% of my gripes with the phone are with sense, I find it ugly and clunky and I wish HTC had just left android alone... I don't have an issue with gingerbread, I haven't used ICS yet and I'm in no busting rush. As soon as the ROM community grows up for this phone it will be amazing, until then its kinda meh.

if rooted, you can also go into /system/app/ and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLockscreen.bak and it will remove the ring lockscreen, and put it back on the old sliding tab lockscreen (froyo/gingerbread stock/aosp lockscreen)

Cool trick. It doesn't break anything? I remember doing something similar on my Desire and I couldn't dismiss alarms (ugh) or answer calls, I'd have to do a battery pull.
(also, I think you need to be rooted to disable the stock lockscreen in WidgetLocker, so maybe it's essentially doing the same thing; alarms/calls work fine on my Vivid with it disabled, so maybe I'm answering my own question)

i take that back, i did it, but i didnt run any alarms or test any calls, so i dont know if that is broken or not
Ah yes found it, settings > advanced > disable stock lock.
it warns that this will make any of the physical keys wake the device, I'm cool with that
Yeah, I actually like waking my phone with the volume buttons sometimes, depending on how I end up grabbing it in my jacket pocket. And it's not like they unlock the phone; I have WidgetLocker set to only have a 15-second timeout, overriding the normal display timeout, so I'm not too worried about accidental battery drain.
