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

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

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.

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.
Hi does anyone think that an app could be developed to add the 3 button bar in sense ui to the launcher on stock g1s or could this app be implemented to a home replacement.
It's perfectly possible to make a sense-ui copy, but it's just a matter of doing it. Try getting in contact with someone who has already made a home replacement app and see if they will implement it.
Ok cool thanks for the reply
Is anyone willing to take on the challenge to create a sense ui clone
i think probably not... people are probably just gonna start telling you to get hero themes or roms lol
though i would also like SOME hero stuff.. not everything because having everything seems to slow the phone down..
Yh maybe but the reason I'm asking is because I like how the 3 button bar works and I also have a stock phone and don't really want to flash the danger spl
I have looked around the Droid 3 forums but cannot find it, perhaps my search skills just suck right now.
How do you remove the default Motorola lock screen? I use widget locker and every now and then I have to unlock the phone twice. It's pretty annoying. Anyone know how to do this?
I have rooted and ran the script to remove bloatware, as provided by mr. psousa. I need to donate!
And I know it says you're supposed to post Questions in the Q&A section... but I don't see one for the Droid3! Just 4 sections... general, accessories, development, and themes/apps.

There should be an option in WidgetLocker to disable the lock screen.
Thanks, I'll poke around in there more. I thought I saw that option awhile back (before I was rooted) but didn't know if I should look for something that wasn't there.
Edit:
Only saw the "replace lockscreen with Widget Locker when possible." In the past before I rooted it would sometimes make me swipe both screens but so far since rooting it hasn't asked me to do the default screen... let's hope it stays like this!

You can flash a different ROM. CM7 or CM9 (pre-alpha), or Liberty all have customizable lock screens. I had the same issue as you before I flashed to Liberty 2.0
There are root options in Widgetlocker, 'replace lockscreen with root access', or something like that. Not sure where the option is, don't have it installed.

Hey guys,
So, I just picked up the HTC one today. As I expected, the hardware is great, but I have to admit i'm really disappointed in the software. It feels like a child's toy. So few options. I'm coming from an Xperia Ion. I thought the software on that was terrible and limited but HTC's is worse. It obviously didn't take me long to flash my Ion. and it seems I'm not even willing to give the HTC 24 hours to flash it either. So, I'm used to Cyanogen Roms and other xperia specific roms which were awesome. But I see no stock android roms for the HTC One. All seem to have HTC Stock Roms and that's exactly what I don't want. I don't want to be limited by the choices HTC gives me.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a Stock 4.1.2 or 4.2 android rom for the HTC. And if not, if you recommend any particular Rom considering the following:
1. I need LTE
2. I want a barebones phone that I can add what i need to, not the other way around. I hate these freakin manufacturers and their obsessive need to add crap to a perfectly fine platform. I'd get the nexus 4 is it's hardware was better and had LTE and didn't look like ****, but hey, that's not an option.
Things I hate about the One.
1. the phone dialer buttons are badly placed
2. no control over headset button actions - even with 3rd party apps
3. No menu button that I can find - yes I know each app has one, but it's not standard and that's annoying
4. Can't seem to find a recent apps/multi-task button
5. Bunch of home app features missing or just too limited - yes I know i can replace with a launcher
Recent apps/Multi-tasking: Quickly double tap the Home key to get this.
(As you may have noticed, long-press Home opens Google Search)
Multitask by double tapping the home button. But ya I flashed to trickdroid for the One and its still HTC stock, but it is alot better, Gives you the option of making the long hold on the back button a menu button.
There a few minimal roms in the development forum.
@kuroneko007 -- thanks for that. looked everywhere. I even tried double tapping a couple times, but seems my timing was off, which is just a testament to how bad an idea that is. Double tap incorrectly and you end up on the home page. No big deal, but all these little things just irk me. Ya, I had noticed the long press home feature.
@sdla4ever -- trickdroid will take a look. was really hoping there'd be a non HTC option, but i realize it's a very new phone and maybe there just hasn't been enough dev time just yet. I am hoping that'll change.
I saw a thread on an app called SwipePad, which will help with getting around the phone from anywhere with gestures, which is cool, so that might help a bit, but i just feel like there are a lot of details I was spoiled with on my previous roms that I'm just not getting here at all. Anyway, any other tricks and tips you guys have found that boost your productivity or provide more options, i'm always open to hearing.
Thanks for your input guys.

Look in the HTC One development forum there are ROMs that are even more minimal.
Give it a month or two. The phone has just been released and many people have not even got hold of their pre-ordered units yet.

Ya, I figured that was the case, but just thought I'd ask, on the off-chance i was missing something obvious. I wonder if Cyanogen will make a ROM for it. Of all the roms i've tried, I think i like the CM ones best, though not by much. SOme really good stuff out there.

I have the opposite problem - I hate the fact that for many apps which already have a menu button a separate menu button appears at the bottom of the screen, taking up valuable screen estate. Any way to stop this?

My suggestion would be to install the Renovator ROM with the de-sense option in AROMA, then install Apex launcher and set gestures for actions you want such as menu and search...etc. Or you could give the CM from the ATT version a shot, but it seems to be an early build so there could be some loose ends right now.
I think this is a great phone the has some questionable design decisions from HTC in both the hardware and software. But everything can be somewhat dealt with with a little trial and error and research.

I found a much better way - I installed this kernel and disabled the three menu button menu - now use the htc logo as the menu button!
@apd - that's exactly what I mean. Sure the apps have their own menu area, but it's a waste of space and not always in the same place for every app, which is annoying and like you said takes up real estate. if one of the capacitive buttons could serve as the menu button, that would be awesome. As for the last reply, what do you mean you disabled the 3 menu button menu? I understand that it's possible to use the htc logo as a cap button, but what other button are you referring to that you disabled? You referring to the software/app buttons that show up in every app? Please explain. I wonder what roms that kernel works with. Will have to look into that.
@lilhaiti - i agree. phone is solid, but there are a few things that imo weren't done with much thought. I am and have used Apex for a couple years, and between that and Swipe Pad, I've covered most of the basics, tho, essentially I'm installing apps to do what the phone should be able to do from the start. Whatever, no big deal, but these details are still important to me. As for the CM, I'll wait. I'm not in a huge rush, but I'll definitely try it once it's stable.

adding

to your build.prop file will remove the three dot menus in all apps bar HTC's.
I did this and have the HTC Logo as a menu button.
Bonus question:
Does anyone know how to keep the three-dot menu in apps which implement it properly in the action bar, but hide it in apps where it appears as a black bar?
Hi guys!
I've been looking arround the forum, but can't seem to find anything useful...
I just flashed the newest 10.1 ARHD, up from 9.4. When I was on 9.4 I used a rom for removing the 3dot menu, and adding longpress backbtn2menu. I know that in ARHD 10.1 you get 4.2.2, which by default makes longpress homebtn, the new menubtn... HOWEVER the god damn 3dot menu is still there, and its killing me. I've tried flashing the same mod I had on 9.4, and 2 other mods that are supposed to do the same, but every time it ends up freezing my phone right after bootlogo, and I end up having to reflash ARHD...
one of the reasons I flashed a custom ROM was to remove that stupid 3dot crap... anybody care to tell me how to remove the 3 dots? Is it even possible on 4.2.2/ARHD 10.1? Shouldn't it be removed by stock, when they've added a god damn function for acsessing the menu?!?
Frustrated...
I'm sure if you search the ARHD thread you'll find the answer. The option is in the settings menu somewhere.
I know that you can activate it, and i've read the thread, but on my device it doesnt show up! And I've reflashed full now, for the 2nd time, and still nothing...

Did you select the button mod option when you flashed? It's been a few days since I installed so I can't remember what it was called exactly, but there was an option to enable it in Aroma. After that, it's just a matter of selecting the option in Settings under Display and buttons.

Yes, I did. And I chose he mod both in Aroma and in the settings. HOWEVER I have got it to work! reflashed the rom from stock, and now it works
Have found another "problem" though... ARHD doesnt come with the battery percentage mod anymore, since it is implemented in 4.2.2 and Sense now... but the stock percentage-shower is by displaying it on the SIDE of the battery icon, instead of on top... and I can't seem to find a working mod for 4.2.2 that wills how me battery percentage on top of the battery icon... any ideas?
Trickdroid 7 rom has plenty of different battery tweaks, including with percentage inside the battery
