For anyone who is an avid user of Handcent, the most recent update introduced ads at the top of the message list, effectively "disguised" as the first message in your inbox. While Handcent has had ads for quite some time, the placement of this particular ad has caused an uproar in the feedback...

I recently put together a very "rudimentary" widget to quickly toggle slide/sweep to wake functionality on the kernel I am running. I originally just created it for myself, but figured why not share with the community in case anyone else might find it of use. Since this was mainly for my own...

[September 16][Module][Xposed][LP][KK] TabletMetrics: Report screen > 7" - v5.1.2 Linked is an Xposed Module that will allow your phone to report its screen size as >= 7", in order to allow an app that does not otherwise spot your phone as a tablet (via, for example, the Per App Settings...

So, I had an idea this afternoon that it would be convenient, if you are a DashClock Widget user, to be able to put your phone to sleep via a DashClock extension. If possible, this would help reduce wear and tear on the power button, and allow you to put the phone to sleep quicker than other...

Hey Guys. Since I use fast USB charge with Franco's kernel a lot, but also develop on my phone quite a bit, I have a need to toggle fast charge on and off quite frequently, so I created a 1x1 home screen widget for quicker access for enabling / disabling, rather than having to launch an app...

Okay Guys, Just for fun, as a little side-project, I wanted to play with the DashClock extensions API, and being a self-proclaimed "word nerd" I figured a cool "Word of the Day" extension might be fun to put together, so that's what I did :). It allows you to currently display a new word on...

So, while I've been heavily busy with work lately, as some of you may know, I've had ready for release an inverted notifications panel (white text on dark background, instead of the default black text on light background), but in addition to this, I've been playing with the idea of removing the...

After much consternation and having stepped away from my first attempt for a few weeks, due to issues finding a few troublesome locations for inverting, I believe I finally have a version adequate for release. This inverted app is based on Sprint release 3.70, deodexed ROM. The inverted...

Update 3/14/2011: This mod was originally an exact port of the original referenced below, however, I've taken it a step further (and modified this post accordingly), to reflect the fact that in addition to the ability to remove am/pm from the 12-hour clock, you are now also presented with the...

Okay guys, at the suggestion/request of Konikub, who was told this couldn't be done, I, "Team LoneWolf" :D, decided to crack open the stock HTC Messaging application (Mms.apk), in order to investigate the possibility of inverting / applying a "dark theme" to the application. It seems this has...

I just stumbled across how to modify the order of the status bar icons on the top right corner (clock, wifi, cdma, gps, etc). This is something that has eluded me for a while, and I was curious to figure it out. Not sure if anyone else has done this yet or not. Is there any value in pursuing...

Okay, there was a request that was made to modify the default location (wikipedia) that you are taken to when you highlight a word on a webpage in the stock browser, and then select the magnifying glass to issue a search. By default, as mentioned, the highlighted search term(s) goes to...

[MOD][PORT][APP]Vanilla Locks & Gestures (Multi-Silder/Rotary) & Config. App - Sense Okay, the wait is finally over! As the title of the thread states, included below is a heavily modified framework for deodexed HTC Sense ROMs (3.70 base), that will give you the ability run any vanilla style...

After more bootloops than I care to share, I couldn't believe it when this one (see below) loaded up, and it didn't bootloop, a few minutes ago! FWIW, I am running Fresh ROM (HTC Sense). EDIT: For those just joining the conversation, this project has become much bigger than just rotary lock...

Okay, while there are plenty of custom Rosie threads out there, posting every single Rosie with and/or without a certain layout, it just makes sense, IMHO, to push out a MetaMorph that will change ANY rosie, regardless of maker, to support 4x5 layout and/or 5 icon wide app drawer. I have...

Many people using the Power Control Widgets that I ported inquired about the ability to control the behavior of the various toggles that are available, such as Brightness Levels, Screen Timeout, Sound Modes (silent/vibrate/etc), Flashlight Modes (death ray/normal), as well as the ability to...

Deprecated: Version 2.0 is now LIVE! (12/17/2010), this version is still based on 3.29x ROM OTA, as I wanted to see this through from start to finish, rather than drop what I have been working on for many weeks, and start over again. Deprecated: Version 2.1 is now LIVE! (12/19/2010), this...

Update: This thread has been deprecated in favor of v2.0 with 4G toggle and other fixes. See Here for updated version. As some of you who were following the progress thread know, over the past few weeks, I have been working on porting the CyanogenMod set of power control widgets, embedded into...

EDIT 11/11/10: See Here for the official release thread. EDIT 11/8/10: See Here for latest progress / update Okay, wanted to give you guys a sneak peek of a port I just started working on this past weekend, for integrating the CyanogenMod Notification's panel power control widget into Sense...

Do you find the screen on/off button at the top of your EVO adequate for locking/unlocking your phone and don't want to be bothered with the additional steps for unlocking the screen after pressing the on/off button? If you answered yes, this mod is for you. Disclaimer: Attention all "Billy...

[MOD] Custom Black HTC Dialer & Phone w/ability to set custom font (new colors added) I originally set out to recreate the black HTC Dialer I had running on my Hero, for my EVO, as I really liked the look (see thread here). Note, this is based off of Fresh 3.3.0.1. EDIT: See this post for...

[App][Project][Cool] JsChiSurf's "OpenSezMe" Android Garage Door Opener Application I wanted to create this post to show fellow XDA members a cool project I've been working on, and figured that like-minded XDA members (techno-geeks) would think it was pretty sweet as well, so this post is...

I wanted to try and see if it were possible to avoid having to hack smali code, or use CDMA Workshop to globally change your phone settings for displaying the carrier name, with the goal of making it easier for someone to change the 'Sprint' banner text on their vanilla lockscreen, HTC...

Based on a discussion in this thread, I decided to tackle this little project for removing the notification text from the bottom of the stock HTC Lock Screen. This way, when you receive a text from girlfriend 1, girlfriend 2 won't accidentally see part of it in while your phone is locked, thus...

As I continue to "move-in" to my EVO, I'm porting over the various mods that I made for my Hero that I miss, and the mod referenced here is one of them. It is a small change that simply changes the stock opaque black background on the app drawer / shortcuts screen to a semi-transparent...

Some alternative home launchers (ADW) enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screen(s). The mod does the same while keeping the stock Rosie. Attached is a MetaMorph that you can use to apply to your existing Rosie.apk, that will remove the text from the icons on the...

EDIT 1/4/2001: See Here, if after applying your desired Rosie mod, you wish to apply a 4x5 workspace to your Rosie using MetaMorph, and See Here to apply a 5 icon wide app drawer using MetaMorph. The Rosie mods provided below are compatible with the 3.70 update. To all the former Hero owners...

While I'm still currently focused on my lowly Hero, you EVO owners (many former Hero owners) have been pretty relentless in contacting me for requesting ports of various mods I've done for the Hero over to the EVO :D. Since I don't have an EVO (yet), to date, I've resisted, as the stuff I'm...

I've seen a lot of chatter regarding the desire to port over the mod that was created originally, I believe by PaY87, and then ported to the EVO by kubino99. While I generally prefer to create my own stuff, versus porting other's work, there seemed to be enough demand / desire for this, that I...

While I'm probably not going to run this lockscreen myself (I prefer the rotary style), I saw this request go unfulfilled for a few weeks, so I figured I'd crack it open and take a look once I had a free moment. Turns out, the primary problem with attempting to run the GSM Hero port on our CDMA...

This small tweak was done as a personal preference on my part. Don't know if others will find value in it or not, but figured I'd share since I spent to them to make the tweak. It has always bothered me that when I pull up the dialer, that the bottom right button provides for the ability to...

Anyone else having a problem with the genie widget today? I can't get mine to load anything, and a message pops up: "Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later." I have to guess google accidentally changed something on their end that the widget is connecting to, that is failing, for...

This is an adaptation to the original MT3G style rosie remap, where, instead of the right button opening your contacts, it instead opens the camera. I did this because there were numerous requests for this same functionality. I started a separate thread, so as to not have this mod buried in...

This is another change I ended up with by accident, when working on the text-less icons for the app drawer. This is based off of Fresh 2.1.2, but should work with any Sprint based 2.1 ROM. I originally discarded it, but thought it might be cool to, in addition to changing the color of the app...

It has been referenced that there are alternative home launchers (ADW) that enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screens. The question was posed as to whether or not the same could be done with our stock Rosie, and via a few strategic edits, it can. Attached is a...

Update 6/10/10: See Here for Link to modified (temporary) Fresh 2.1.2 ROM w/ FriendStream add-in. Below are a few screen captures of my phone running a modified version of Fresh 2.1.2, notice anything (edit: title updated afterward)?

Linked below is a MetaMorph to apply an "inverted" AOSP style black taskbar & corresponding drop-down notification menu for Fresh 2.1.2+. Special thanks to koricua74 for the great idea and doing the tedious task of inverting all of the various images, icons, etc. I took those images, then...

Linked below is a MetaMorph to apply the "stock" in appearance AOSP style white taskbar & corresponding drop-down notification menu for Fresh 2.1.2+. Please note, the fix I've created for changing the 'clear' button from black to white required an edit to the services.jar framework file. So...

Inspired by nebenezer, I decided to make a mod for removing the battery icon from the taskbar. For anyone who already runs a battery widget on their homesceen, or another app that reports battery statistics in the taskbar, removing the default battery icon can help free up some space on the...

Just wanted to start a separate thread, to draw awareness to this mod, as I know there were more than a few people interested in this feature / option. I finally had a free moment to take a look at this, and tracked down where the haptic feedback is controlled for the rotary & vanilla...

EDIT: This mod was based on Fresh 2.0d. For updated mod including both 'remove vibrate on connect' and 'remove end call soft key', based on the final Sprint 2.1 release, see here. This is a quick little mod I've had in place on my phone for a while now, and have just been too preoccupied to...

Attached are a few modified Rosie.apk files for remapping the bottom sense launcher buttons / functionality. EDIT: Updated 5/25/10 with new versions supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for downloads. EDIT: This post revised on 5/8/2009, reflecting the fixed version. Some of the posts/comments...

Updated 5/26/10 with new version supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for download. Okay, some of you saw my initial failed attempt at this mod, for removing the 'end call' virtual key / button on the screen, while a call is in progress. The purpose of this mod is to prevent accidentally hanging...

Okay, here we go again. First person to name what's different gets the mod named after them in some way (solved by sdotcarlisle) :p. Edit: See Here for a new thread posted with a fix / alternative And if you've already figured it out, here's a link to the update zip to flash via recovery...

Updated 5/26/10 with new version supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for download. First person to notice what's different about the content of this screenshot wins (not regarding the Rosie/Launcher). Some people were talking about doing this, so I wanted to see if it was possible, turns out it...

EDIT: Updated 5/27/10, all mods posted here ARE compatible with the latest 2.1 deodexed release EXCEPT the no haptic feedback option listed under EDIT 4 at the end of this post. For a no haptic version compatible with Fresh 2.1.2 (or similar deodexed ROM), see here. Though not necessarily my...

Edit: 6/9/2010, Added OSU themed Rotary Lockscreen (see below) I put together modified / themed vanilla & rotary lockscreens to show my love for my favorite team, and figured I'd share them with any other Buckeye fans that may be out there. These lockscreens incorporate the mods I made for...

EDIT: This mod has been integrated directly into the Fresh 2.1.2 ROM, thus, to date, I have yet to update it as a standalone MetaMorph / Zip. Based on popular demand, I decided to take a look at the Vanilla Lockscreen today, to see if there was a way to remove the majority of text from the...

EDIT: Updated 5/26/10 with new version supporting any Sprint 2.1 official release that has been deodexed. See Here for download. By popular demand, I decided to take a look at the HtcDialer.apk today to see how easy it might be to disable haptic feedback while dialing a number. Turns out, it...

Updated 5/26/10 with new version supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for download. EDIT 4/12/10: See last link at the bottom of this thread regarding the shaded notification area apk/option Ladies and Gentlemen, after a bunch of trial and error, I am proud to announce that I have achieved a clear...
