Do you mean the left and right softkeys? There are many ways of doing this. Doing a search on softkeys would give you some hints.

Further..if you click the "power off" button to put the phone in standby slide to unlock automatically comes on when you turn the phone back on.

Can you remove the htc apps?

Hi all,
I have changed from the touchflo interface to the standard interface, seems a lot smoother to me (and i like the look) but is there a way to remove all the htc sense apps that are no longer in use?
Or is there a standard Android rom for the Hero?
Cheers

If I just wanted to see what the standard interface looked like, how would I do this?

Normal Android Home On Hero
Here's what to do...
Go to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications.
Scroll down to 'TouchFLO' and hit 'clear defaults'
Obviously this will clear the default action of taking you to the TouchFLO or Rosie UI home.
When you have done this every time you press the home button you will have a choice. Home or TouchFLO.

Now how can you put it (TouchFlow) back to default ?
If I don't want to have the popup when i click the home button ?
Ticking the "make default action" doesn't work for long

To switch back to TouchFLO do the same like in the first procedure but instead of TouchFLO, select the 'Home' app.
Getting the selection screen often is a bug caused by some apps (like task managers etc). Try uninstalling some and re-check.

How to activate the nice Bluetooth screen?

I need help with this.
accidentally I started a screen for managing bluetooth devices on my HTC hd2. It has 3 tabs and has nice icons. In one tab I could set my device to be discoverable and for how long.
I wrote 'accidentally' because I can not find a way to get back to this screen.
I do not know whether the screen is a Mobile 6.5 screen or HTC Sense, but it is / was very usefull.
Does someone know how to access that screen? (it would help me to start and stop discoverable option quickly).
Thanks

There could be a shorter way to it, I'm not sure, but you can get to it from the settings tab on sense - menu (bottom-right 'soft key') - All Settings - Bluetooth

Or you could go to the Comm Manager (second icon from the top on Sense's settings tab) and tap on the BT icon (not the switch).

On mine, that doesn't go to the screen with the three tabs that the op is asking for.

If you look at my original response, you can get to the screen you want.

It's BTManager.exe that you are after.
You will find it in the Windows directory.
It will only work when BT is on and when it's paired with at least one "unit"

lock screen missing

hi all...
the lock screen on my hd2 has gone missing... pressing the red button directly brings me into the sense UI... any suggestions what went wrong?
thanks!

any help with above issue pls?

Have you recently installed then uninstalled a custom lockscreen? Look at my sticky (link in my sig) and towards the bottom of the first post you'll see some attached cabs. download the one that says Lockscreen HD2 original then install it. It should bring you back to normal.

hi there...
i did stumble upon your sticky and downloaded the lockscreen HD2 original cab file yesterday itself. I have soft reset the device after the installation but still there is no lock screen. Once the device boots up its directly in the Sense UI. Anything else I can do to fix OR might have done wrong?
Thanks for your input!
** Also, to answer your question, no i have not installed or uninstalled any custom lockscreen.. I am still in the learning stages of flashing a ROM and once I get comfortable with all the steps involved, I'll take the plunge but at this point the device is in stock condition except for the apps I have installed. Thanks

Thanks for the link - it kind of helped, which is to say - when i go to start menu and tap on "lock" it does lock the screen but after unlocking it when i press the red button to shut the display and again press it the lockscreen doesnt come up.. i'd hate to click twice before I press the red button only to make sure it doesnt come to life and call my aunt while in my pocket :-/
I tried reinstalling the cab from your sticky to the device (coz I wasnt sure where i had installed it previously) but the problem persists and No I havent installed any BSB or any other tweaks (atleast not intentionally)

So when you go to start , etc, then lock, after you unlock it you're presented with the lock screen Options. Are those set accordingly? Once set, it'll ask you to save changes, then click ok in top right corner.

Okay so here's what I do -
- tap on start menu
- bottom left soft key says "lock"
- tap on lock
- device lockscreen comes on
- now if i press the red button to switch off and then press it again, the lockscreen stays.
-but if i slide the lock on the lockscreen to reveal the sense UI, close the device and then switch it on again, it doesnt show me the lockscreen
does that help you help me?
thanks a ton for your patience!

Do you have cookies home tab/chteditor or bsb tweaks installed? If you do that might be causing the fail.

No I dont. I dont have any of those installed. I want to install the cookies but havent installed any mods yet. The only things I've installed on there are apps.
One of them being Resco Explorer which has a Task manager with it. Could that have made my screen disappear?

I don't think Resco Task Manager is the problem. I have it installed, and I still have the Lock screen that displays when I hit the red key.

Listen...
Once you go to the start menu, select SETTINGS. Then tap the MENU soft key in the bottom right and select ALL SETTINGS. You should see LOCK in the top-right. Tap it, this locks your screen. Immediately unlock. You are now at the LOCKSCREEN OPTIONS page. Set accordingly. Save. Tap OK in top right. Done. Drink a beer.

I already tried this before.. Tapping on the Lock icon in the "ALL SETTINGS" does not lock the screen. Instead, it directly takes me to the password screen (maybe what you referred to as lockscreen options) where my first choice is a checkbox for "Prompt if phone unused for ___ mins and the other option is to choose a password.

Yeah that's the stuff. That's where you enable it. Check the box, set the password (pin).
Sorry for not realizing you had been there. If setting and saving those options doesn't work, not sure what to tell you.
Are you connected to an exchange server?
(you have to make sure after you hit the obvious SAVE button that pops up, you have to hit the OK button in the top right the screen.)

Phone Icon

Excuse me about my ignorance... its been one hour im going through the menus and it started to pissing me off....
i somehow disabled the phone icon on the ADW launcher. Anyone can tell me how to enable it again?

dialer icon more correctly

You should be able to drag and drop the icon to the dock.

not sure wat ur talkin about but i think if u hold down on ur desktop... pick activity...create custom shortcut... click activities... scroll down to dialer. let me know if ur talkin about something else.

Thanks for your replies.
See Screenshot below to see for which icon im talking.

so are u saying its missing from that certain spot? or just missing in general? or missing from the app drawer?

Missing from the certain spot.
It was there yesterday, i was playing with the menus/options and i probably disabled it by mistake probably.

Thanks for the help. Plenty of key words in your replies to sort it out.
Just reseted ADW and its fixed.
Dont know if theres an option to enable or disable it but reseting fixed it.

Hi, there's an option to turn the left and right softkey on and off in the ADW setting.
I can't create screenshots but try to explain it briefly here (it's simple) although you have reset it, it may benefit others who come across the same problem.
so in ADW settings..
> Interface Settings
there's a Turn On/Off Left Action Button option.
check it to have the phone icon on, uncheck to take it away.
Effectively you can disable to right action button (web browser) as well.
You can also turn on two more extra button as well, but haven't had time to figure out how to set the shortcuts... only have 2 blank keys theres at the mo.
Sorry for, if there're, any inaccurate labelling as I have mine in T.Chinese so not sure what the exact English labels are... shoudn't be far off though.
Hope it helps~

Hey, is me again!
Was just having a quick mess around and found out is as easy as just drag the icon to those empty button areas, that's all !! And i was trying long presses and going through many pages of menu options!! ha-ha
