hello all, i have a couple requests (most likely has to do with registry editing)
1: Hide the top bar (time, and stuff)
2: Have a big invisible x button to close programs (no need for stylus)
3: Hide bottom bar (calendar/contacts) but still be able to use the soft keys to access them
thanks a bunch in advanced
nice request
those are some nice request. but if someone even tries to cook this rom then we should think of giving them a donation for their work dont you think?

As taken from my guide:
Can I get rid of the "Contacts / Calendar" bar?
Dcino Bar is a great app to get rid of it. Simply place this app in your Windows/Startup folder, you can download it Here

you can still use the keys on the phone to access the "contacts or calendar"
thx a lot tyler, it worked great, is there anyway to make it invisible for all programs as well?
One of the Rom Cookers need to keep these ideas in mind...
Maybe have a version out which is fully powered by the touch cube and pocketCM default. Its becoming more smoother to use as a regular phone and I can see my calendar on the main screen!!!
i actually prefer a software solution rather than loading a new rom

The author of pocketCM asks that it not be included in ROMs.
Ugh... yes! I want a big x button so I don't have to turn my finger and slide it up in the corner to hit the x.
WM5 on the older PALM devices have the X button moved to the left so it's not up against the edge; can we do that on the thing by editing the registry somehow?

I use FTouchSL to do this. I made the top left active corner a close option so it closes the application thats open. You can set how many pixels it is & the amount of time it takes to activate. It works perfectly

This looks really tight, ima try it out, I dont feel like going through the whole rom thing again, im sticking to manufacturer settings, although i might change the pool size thing again
I'm currently using Schap's 4.30 on an ATT Tilt. When ever I do something that rotates the screen to landscape then back to portrait view (ie slide open the keyboard) I get a blank line down the right side where the scroll bar was in landscape view. It doesn't seem to be refreshing the screen. I have to go into the Today menu and back out to get rid of the blank line. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi:
I wish you much luck finding an answer. I too have the same problem, and haven't had any luck at all.
Someone recommended locking HTC home on screen, but mine just won't stay locked.
Ok... it seems they were correct. I used the latest version of KaiserTweak:
http://www.jongma.org/KaiserTweak/
and used the latest XML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349009
Locked the HTC Home page and it seemed to fix most of it. I have a Live search bar that still won't resize correctly but the rest of the Today screen is fine. Give it a shot

I am so glad it worked for you. I have tried that before also, but for some reason mine keeps unlocking itself. Very odd
Howdy Folks,
I sat on my phone this weekend (have had my phone in my back pocket many times) and cracked the glass. Now my touch screen is now non-responsive.
I've been able to find keyboard and trackball work around for every feature on the phone... except for the notification bar.
Does anyone know of an app or keyboard shortcut that will allow me to access the notification bar if i can't swipe it down via the touch screen?
I plan on replacing the phone( or maybe just the screen), but until i can, figuring out a work around would be really nice.
Can u go to the home screen, press menu and navigate via trackpad to notifications? It sucks going home all the time to do but it should do the trick till u get a replacement.

Thanks for the reply!
I can't seem to get that to work... If i understand correctly, you just navigate "up" with the trackpad, and it lets you access the notifications? That doesn't seem to work for me
However... I have discovered that there is a tiny triangle of screen that still works. So if I let my my screen rotate a full 180.. I've figured out that I can pull down the notifications bar.
Still if anyone has any other suggestions so that I don't have to turn my phone upside down to access notifications... that would be great!

Im working on porting gweedo767's touch recovery to the incredible. I do not own an incredible so i need people to give me feedback so i know what to change. Once i get a good working fakeflash i will release an installable recovery image. If anyone wants to donate to me for me to get my own incredible that would be much appreciated and will make the process quicker.
Here is a youtube video I made of how it works: ------> VIDEO
4 ways to use recovery:
volume rockers
soft keys on bottom of screen
capacitive buttons
swipe gestures (up/down = scroll && left = back && right = select)
This will not install ANYTHING on your phone. It is just a test drive to see what it is like. This loads the files into the ram and runs them from there. As soon as you reboot everything will be back to the way it was. This does not change/alter ANY files on your phone.
I need to know what sort of things i need to change like:
swipe sensitivity
font size
order of soft keys on bottom of screen
anything else......
Please let me know how i can make this better

Here is the link to a FAKEFLASH: --------> http://sk8erwitskil.com/guest/skyrocket/CWMRT/inc/cwmrt-inc.zip (flash in CWM)
There is a known bug in ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 that long file names can POSSIBLY cause backups to hang. There is a solution/workaround:
boot into recovery
try to make a backup (no matter if it passes or fails proceed to next step)
either through terminal emulator or through adb run the following command EXACTLY:
Code:
touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
NOTICE THE PERIOD AND LACK OF EXTENSION.
and it is .hidenandroidprogress NOT .hideandroidprogress __notice the letter "n"__

Hello i tried your recovery and it has a few issues one being major. First off the up scroll button (the one that looks like a house) seems to select items instead of scroll up in the list. Also while on the subject of the buttons imho there a little small, and would look better more rounded, perhaps just putting a ring arround them.
If you swipe to the right on the screen it reboots the phone.
Ok now on to the major issue, it only backed up boot, system, and recovery. It did not back up data, datadata, cache, sd-ext, android.secure, or generate an md5 sum.
Other that that its good. It is not what i was expecting when i tried it. I was expecting to touch on the menu where the options are instead of using softkeys to navigate and select, but i still like this better than having to use vol keys and trackball, great job so far.

It is touch... You swipe to scroll. Swipe your finger up and down to scroll. Swipe right to select and SWIPE LEFT to go back. And thank you for your feedback.
Edit: and also that backup issue is a bug in clockworkmod. You have to put a file call:
.hidenandroidprogress in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/ folder. Notice the period and lack of extension.

Ok i see let me try this again.
Ok now i get it. Lol ok then heres my bug report.
Swipe left and right are way to sensitive. When scrolling up and down if you go just the slightest bit to the left or right, it either goes back or selects an item.
As i said earlier the up softkey selects items instead of moving up in the list.
Also as i said earlier not backing up everything or generating an md5.
Other than that it seems great.

i added the fix to the backup problem in the OP. add that file and itll solve that issue. that is a known issue in the base code of clockworkmod 5.x, im working on making a code fix for that. the workaround works fine for now tho. can you tell me what the "home" "menu" "back" & "search" capacitive buttons do in recovery? that way i can re-arrange the soft keys to line up with the corresponding capacitive button.
im guessing back = go back, search = select, but does home = scroll up or scroll down?
thanks

Home scrolls down, menu does nothing just vibes, back goes back, search selects. Also the on screen back key seems to select instead of go back like the on screen up key does.
EDIT: actually the menu button seems to go back also. Its hard to tell. I think when hitting home, menu, back, search, it is also picking up my finger slightly moving left or right when i hit it.
Also for the backup fix, that is just creating a file called .hiddenandroidprogress right? That file was already present in my cwm folder before i ever even tried this recovery. I ran the command anyways and tried to back up again but still only boot recovery and system.

ok i updated the file. the soft keys on screen should be fixed to at least be the right keys. im going to re-arrange the order to those of the capacitive once i get to my work computer tomoro. also, i made the left/right sensitivity lower. see how it works.

yes .hidenandroidprogress. what it does is stop cwm from enumerating the file list that it is backing up. if it gets stuck after that then i have to go in and debug the filesystem points i have probably as they are wrong for data, etc.

Yes definitely. I have actually stopped doing anything for now since I'm getting an incredible in a few days so I can do my own testing. It was getting too difficult doing all my testing over the Internet lol. I'll be back with another version in about a week. So until then....

This is only a bootable test, it changes nothing on your phone. You flash this it temp boots to the touch recovery, and then when you exit the touch recovery you will be exactly the way it was before flashing it. It is not permanent.
Hi,
is there a possibility to change the back function on the display? Tried Custom Navigation Bar, but it says it is incompatible to this device because there is no next button in the compatibility test. Just want to mirror it because I am used to find "back" on the left side from my previous Xperia phones...
Maybe someone has an idea to this.
