Show us your homescreens!!!

Well plenty people on this forum now have the DHDs, so go ahead and post your homescreens.
A good OP always goes first, but i haven't received my hunk of technology yet.
Instructions for noobs:
Step 1: Enable USB Debugging
On your Desire HD, go to Settings, then Applications, and then Development. Check the checkbox for "USB debugging."
Step 2: Download the Android SDK
There's plenty of tutorials out there so i won't go into detail explaining here, but this should get you started
Download: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Install: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Note: you'll need to have Java installed on your machine.
Step 3: Run DDMS
You'll need to find the SDK folder which you downloaded. From here go into tools and launch DDMS. Select your handset from the menu on the left. Then, click CTRL-S on your keyboard. This will bring up the "Device Screen Capture" interface. From here, a static image is captured from what is appearing on your handset. You can save the image and then refresh to your heart's content to grab updated or different screenshots from your phone.
And that's it folks! What you waiting for? Gogogogo!!!

Why not use "ShootMe" ???

Ha Ha I was thinking that !!!!

Because normally you need to get the picture to PC anyway (at least i do, that means DDMS is the more comfortable solution anyway).

Maybe for a handful of members
The every day Newbie will have many issues and questions about this procedure than anyone or any thread (and I do smell a new thread coming out of this one already ) can answer

Your friendly Mod

It depends what is easier, downloading the SDK and take a picture via DDMS, or rooting the phone and taking the picture via PicMe/ShootMe/whatever app .

at the end of the day it doesnt matter which method you use, as long as we get some pics in this thread

The easiest method of taking snaps of your homescreens (and the phone in general) I've found so far is by installing Webkey (requires root. Works with the VISIONary soft root app (found in Market)). What the app basically does is that it allows you to control your phone through a browser (lets you send SMS and I've actually successfully played a game on it). If you activate .png view the quality is very decent and you can just right click the image and save the image directly to your desktop. Quick, easy and painless.
Not to waste this post. Here're the homescreens of my old phone (made with Webkey):

Cannot update Google Music

The Android Market in my Nexus S is showing there is an update for Google Music (manual update).
But, every time I tried to update, it said "not found".
Rebooted ... same result.
Clear Market cache and data ... same result.
Anyone is having this as well?
I am running 2.3.4, stock, un-rooted and bought the device in UK on release day.
Thanks for any help.

Same here...in the UK, rooted and with Stock 2.3.4 and cannot update the music app although it shows as an update in the Market.
Exact same issue.

I lie, as soon as i wrote this post i tried it again and this time it did the update.
Try now it may work for you too.

Locate the Music manual update in Android Market, long press- and select update.

Thanks, this solved the problem

Sweet, worked for me too!
Just noticed how jerky the scrolling and transitions are compared to before. On my Nexus S i9023 unrooted 2.3.4
But the cool fuzzy backgrounds are nice tho

it worked!
but some how it broke music
now if i click on music it says "application not installed"
yet it's there, and the widget still works, but says "current playlist is empty"

reboot your phone, should fix it

I've noticed the same thing. Album arts don't come up instantly but need a few moments to show every time you scroll the page up and down. Also the lateral scrolling is not perfect, like it was not optimised for this device (Nexus S).
The new app starts two processes and two services that continue to run in the background. The RAM usage has gone from over 10MB to more than 50.

The op should turn this into a "how-to" thread now

and, it took quite some time for it to scan the whole SD to show all my song collection

Experienced same with Google Books. Not available in Ireland, can't load the App page, yet keep your finger pressed on the App & you can trigger the update anyway!

This update is for USA market, after I fake the carrier, it allowed me to update I am from Singapore by the way, based on the feedback here, I better keep the original and don't update it since there seem to have some performance issues here

Work around/fix for Brighthouse Live TV streaming app [rooted BHN cable subscribers]

To all Brighthouse Network subscribers, a work around has been found to get the BHN app to work on our rooted Transformers. (* This may also work for other tablets and other cable providers apps.*) For anybody who's wondering what I'm talking about, Brighthouse Networks blocked access to their Live TV streaming app for rooted users, even if you're signed in and on your home network. Well the people who are TWC subscribers are seeing the same thing with their Live TV streaming app on rooted devices, but were able to find a fix that works for our BHN app also. Follow the link, follow the step by step instructions and give the guys thanks if it works for you. I'm posting this because I see there were a lot of Brighthouse users who were leaving comments in the Play Store, that this app wasn't working on their Transformers. I'm running EOS JellyBean build #55 and can confirm that its working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29472657&postcount=376 and running great.
P.S...You will also have to disable USB Debugging before you can start watching your shows, but you will be prompted on when to do it.

To anyone who already checked the link out, I'm sorry, as I thought the link was going to the step by step post. Anyway, it has been updated to go to the correct location. Check it out so you can start watching the Olympics on your tab. :good:

Revised:
Download file explorer from Play-store, go into settings, select show hidden files,go back
scroll down to bottom of main menu uncovering root options, select root settings,
check root explorer first option. Give it a second for warning to pop up, then select root up and then
mount file system.
Go to system apps, then long press superuser.apk change to su.apk save or hit back arrow it will ask
you to save. Get out of app folder, back to system folder at the bottom is the build.prop long press the file, up at the top
hit open as, select text option, open with ES note editor, go down to ro.build.tags="buildtype" delete everything after
= leave it blank, exit/save , turn off usb debugging in settings developer option ,REBOOT , then reload app. I am using EOS JZO54K Nightly 81 with stock kernel 2.6.39.4-Eos3
this by far streams the broadcasts the best, I have tried many kernel and roms and by far this works the best for me. TF101B90 16G.
Don't forget to hit thanks if this helped.
OLD:
Renamed superuser.apk to su.apk.
Uninstalled the twc app.
Changed the build.prop test-keys setting to blank.
Turn off debugging in settings > developer options.
Reboot.
Reinstalled the twc app.

This works perfect for me on my nexus 7, stock-rooted. Thanks!!!!

Here is a link to the apk already working on rooted devices. Have on EOS4 tf101 and my LGOG.

Android OS for Windows

Friends,
I cant stop cursing myself for not purchasing Android tabs instead of 2 Windows tab Asus Transformer Book & Dell Venue Pro I own. I like all the feature except the very limited games and apps that I can access from my Windows tab.
Before I change my mind, Bingo... one of my friend help me out to install Android OS on my tab! He just took 15 minutes to do it for me. Pretty cool huh?
Anybody who is in the same situation, you can reach out to my friend at [email protected] & the person told me that he can install in any windows computers, tablet, etc....
Click Thanks Button..

Sent a Mail

I just sent a mail to the person, let me see what he does.. I own a Chines Windows tablet.

Is there an app that allows you to force-close all open apps that works on Android TV

I'm looking for an application that allows force-closing running applications, as its running down the memory and making the performance slow down. I'm not a huge fan of slowdowns, if anyone know of such a app, please type in it the comments below.
Thanks!

..

Thanks you for providing me this download link. I will try this out when I get home tonight, looking forward to seeing it work. Why don't you submit it to the Google Play Store?

..

id be willing to try this when i get home as well. what app did you modify exactly? id like to look into it on the play store before i get home and install yours on my shield.

..

Hey man so i got to play with this a little bit last night. Thanks so much! It will definitely help when im testing out new apps and troubleshooting issues. But to be honest, using the app last night made me realize something......
The shield is pretty damn good at managing ram on its own. With no easy way to force close apps prior to the app you provided, I just let shield take care of it, assuming all my running apps that i didnt force close on my own, were using up all my free ram available. But last night when using your app, each time i tried to "kill all" i only got a meager 100-200MB free, at best. Even with all the apps running, i still had like over 1gig, usually 1.5, available. its awesome.
But yeah, still keeping this app for messing with stuff. Thanks.

Awesome, I'll give it a try too. It always annoys the hell out of me that I have to go into settings then apps then go through all my installed apps just to kill a frozen app. It would be awesome if someone could implement the "hold back to kill app" that is in most ROMs.

The file for your modified app is no longer working, any chance of reuploading this please?
2017 and still no android Nokia until "autumn" in UK for my Sony TV to fix this.
Thanks
