Hey everyone,
Is there a way i can copy and paste on the hero ?
eg in a sentence like ...
With HTC Hero, personalization reaches a level never before possible. Rather than burying important content under layers of menus, the HTC Hero lets you put it at glance view, with a selection of widgets that can be placed right on the home screen. The widgets themselves can be personalized with a variety of designs and sizes that best match your personality.
If i just wanted to put .. with a selection of widgets that can be placed right on the home screen. ... into an email how would i do that ?
Cheers James
Just hold your finger on the input field, a pop up will appear and you can tell your freaky and oh-so-lovely Hero that you want to select text, then select the text and hold down again and tell it that you want to copy the selection.
Yeah, I know that you love your Hero :-D
Android <3!
/Edit:
Maybe I didn´t really read your post lol Let´s see what you´ll say.
Hey, so I tried this from the gtalk application, but I can't figure out how to copy text from a chat or response that has already been entered. Is there a way to do this?
TIA,

Hey guys,
I have the HD2, 172 WWE ROM.
I tried using HDWall app to create new slider icons. Nothing worked.
Does nayone have an app that can create slider?
If not, who wants to make one for me? I can give you all the icons, you create a cab?
I am pretty desperate as I have a couple I want to make that I love.
Thanks to any volunteers or helpers.
You can use a program called CFC_GUI to view and edit any manila graphic.
Thanks for responding.
I downloaded this but couldn't get it to work.
I selected the slider icon I wanted to change (to test) and selected replace with, the click on the icon I want. It runs through (stops sense) and just says 'fail'.
Also, I thought the slider icons were 64x64, and the larger icons 128 x 128.
This app shows them as 256 x 256.
Do you know what the correct size is for the sliders and the larger ones?
Well you will first want to make a folder some where. Connect your phone and put it into sync. From there open CFC_GUI >Device>Import from device. This will import your manila graphic files. Now you will want to go through these files and find all the files that pertain to the slider icons, quick hint there are a lot of them. Depending on the ROM there can be anything from 3 to 4 of them for each tab. Most will range in 64 while one will be 256. The 64's are for the actual tabs and also the customization setup pictures(for selecting the order of the tabs) in settings for the phone. While the 256 is for the big main graphic that is centered in the phones screen when it's slide over or selected. You will have to do more then just replace the files. When you select each file you want "save as" this while save it to the folder you open CFC_GUI for the first time. Once you have the actual images saved as a pngs you can then bring these files into a photo editing program. You will find that the size of the picture is not the actual size of the graphic.....sure it might be 64x64 but the actual graphic will be a bit smaller and is usually a bit off center and to the top left. So you take the picture you want (hint use pngs since most don't have backgrounds) to replace it with and paste it over the other picture as a layer. Adjust the picture until it's perfectly over the original layer under it. Once you get it right you can delete the original layer leaving your new graphic. Save the image ,possibly to a new folder but with the same original name. The next time you open CFC_GUI it will open the original files you don't have to plug the phone in yet, the program creates it's own folder and saves the files from when you imported them. Go through and replace the files you want , won't be hard if you keep the original file name when you saved your edited version. Once you replace them all you can close the program. Turn on the phone go to settings and turn off Sense. This option can be skipped because the program should turn off Sense when you go to export but some times it doesn't and messes up. Once synced open CFC_GUI recheck your work then go to
Device>export to device.
Unplug the phone turn Sense back on and they should be there.
Man I don't think I have ever had to write this much directions for this so be thankful I felt like being long winded tonight hope it helps.
Donation to you if you create slider icons set.
Wil,
I sincerely appreciate your reply. I have given it a go and read through your instructions many, many times.
Honestly, this is too hard for a novice like. I don't even know how to use photoshop properly.
I am willing to offer a donation to anyone who is willing to create a slider icon set for me.
I have all the icons, just need someone with the experience.
Anyone? Wil, can you?
Photoshop is not that hard. Just save the graphics like I said earlier. Bring the image into photoshop. Bring the image you want into photoshop. Go Select>all. Edit>copy. Go back to the original file. Edit>paste. It should paste it to a new layer all by itself. If the picture is a bit big or small you should be able to drag it to fit. You can also adjust the ocupancy down a bit to be able to see through it while you adjust. If your confused about the whole layer thing do a video search for Working with Photoshop Layers. There are plenty of them out there. It's a basic if you want to use photoshop the right way.
This should be in the Theme part but try to find the some threats of Dinik. He's a great designer and made even some easy walk throughs about how to make icons and how to replace them on your HD2
*edit*
Dinik Creations
When you look in the threats posted you find easy replacing tools
Stuck on final step.
Hi Wil,
Firstly, sorry for the very late reply. I have been working away collecting the icons I like, and trying to use Photoshop. I have finally figured it out.
I am stuck on the final step I think.
I have created all the icons correcty (to the top and right) based on the layering method you mentioned. Should be fine.
I have then used CFC to 'import' the png's. No problem.
I use CFC to browse the files and I can see the new icons I have imported.
What do I do now?
The files do show up in CFC, but not as slider icons in manila. Whats the final step?
Thank you in advance.
These are the manila fiels names from what I have researched. Please let me know if this is wrong.

i dont know it works for HD2 but i think it will
Thanks Veldmuus. I tried that previously, didn't work. It has completely different file names.
I tried 'export to device. Sense did stop (I saw it stop on my phone) did the export, then restarted sense.
For each fil that it was supposed to export, I just got the error 'fail'. No other info.
Any help?
hello, i've got the htc hd2. overall i'm satisfied. but i've seen at a friends iphone that instead of having all the quick links out in the open, he has icons of their libraries such as: programs, games, extra, news and more. once he presses a library it opens another window bellow it and he can select the prog he wants to lunch. i beleive if this is somehow available in the hd2, maybe through cookies editor or something like that, it would be great - time saving, organized, easy to use...
does anyone know of this feature in the iphone? is it a 3rd party app or some setting? is it possible to be activated or installed on the hd2?
thanks guys.

u can create subfolder in your /windows/startup folder and move there your start menu items
but i can't create those subfolders as quick links. it's as i would go and start file expolrer and look for the app i want, only in subfolders. i would like to have subfolders as quicklins...

yes u can, if u have a powerful file manager like resco explorer (not free) or any other free one around
check here and here, not perfect eye-candy, but works
the "latest" iOS feature of grouping in folders is a laughable attempt by apple to copy what windows mobile has had for AGES!
the iphone does not have a home screen. instead, it just throws all your program shortcuts on the home screen. the equivalent of this is the windows mobile "start" menu. one tap and you get the start menu to show off to your iphone pals.
the windows mobile "start" menu is more powerful because it offers n-level nesting and unlimited number of links within a "group" (lets call them folders because thats the correct windows mobile term!). finally, it offers mixing links and folders within a folder! not sure the iphone can do that.
as stated above, use a powerful file manager to create folders under your start menu, give them icons, and organize existing links under these new folders. add more than 12 links AND folders to a folder and throw that in your iphone pal's face!
ok. i like what you're saying... however, i am using the cookies home tab editor (i think that's the name) and i've removed everything (clock, tasks, calender...) from the home screen so i can have a picture of my beautiful wife and 4 icons of quick links at the bottom (not including the sliding bar of the windows mobile). so as a resault of this if i had folders on the main home screen i'd needed 4, the most important and that's it. and i have to tell you, i hardly use the START button. so, i'm still looking for something to help me place folders and not link to programs on my hd2's home screen.

there is a way: You have to put a .lnk in that folder and then it will show up on quicklinks for cht.
You can pm watcher64. He made one for me for a movies folder
Hey everyone. I'm trying to make contacts look the way they do in some 3.5 and, from what I hear, older Sense builds. As an example, when creating a shortcut to a contact and let's say, making it a 'quick contact', there is no icon covering their face (like in AOSP, CM7 or SoaB), which I prefer. I'm trying to see if there's a way to get that effect in other Sense Roms where the shortcut type covers a quarter of the icon. I've tried pulling the contact app out of the system folder, and deleting the quick contact icon, also the black button png, but still no dice. So I'm hoping someone with some knowledge can point me in the right direction here. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I got Themer today, and I really love how a lot of them look, but I ended up sticking with my plain stock because I like to have most things on the home screen in folders. I tried making a folder, but it didn't work.
Are there any themes that incorporate folders? Did I just do it incorrectly or are they not an option? I realize you can go into apps, and then use the categories, but I'd much rather have them on my home screen.
Plus, if I have an app, like my flashlight, that I really need on my home screen for accessibility, it's kind of obnoxious against the pretty, cohesive theme, and sticks out. If there was a folder I could stick it in on the home screen that matched the rest of the theme, it would look better. Does that make sense? I might just be rambling now.
It's a really cool app though, I like that you can do these things without rooting, I didn't realize that was possible. (My noob is showing... )

Hi Lumosx,
With Themer, there are multiple ways of adding folders.
First, you can drag and drop apps from the app drawer onto one you've already added. To do this:
1. Drag an app onto the app drawer that you'd like in your folder.
2. Then drag another app next to it; a popup may appear asking you to unlock widgets.
3. Select Yes and open the Desktop menu and deselect Lock homescreeen Icons.
You're now able to drag icons into one another, creating folders accordingly.
Alternatively, you can use Smart Category folders. These are the categories you see in the app drawer, and adding one of these does come with some advantages. To add one:
1. Long press on the homescreen > Advanced > Desktop > Unlock homescreen Icons.
2. Long press on the homescreen > Smart Categories > choose your preferred category.
3. Tap the icon > Select the overflow icon (3-dot icon) > Manage, in order to manually add/remove apps.
Now this category will be saved for every theme that you use.
To change the look of a folder (with both methods), long press on the icon > Edit > then select an icon either from selected packs or a simple image. Let us know if you need to find an image/icon to match your theme.
Hope this helps!

I got it to work, thank you very much! I'm very happy with it now.
One more question: The only issue I have now is that there's one particular widget that tells me it's already added when I try to put it on the screen, but it's not actually there. Do you know what the problem could be? It came with the phone (Walkmate) if that matters.

What's your device and the widget called? We want to see if we can replicate this issue.
Also does it happen with all themes or one specific theme?
Lastly, is there room for the widget? What may happen is that a widget might take up the whole screen, not allowing for any widgets to be added. Deleting all the widgets on the page and try to add this widget will help us figure out what's causing the problem.
I have a Galaxy S3, the widget is Walkmate. It should fit, it's small and I have at least half the screen free. I tried when the screen was blank as well. The theme is Frosted Glass. I tried using a random theme as well and it still didn't work (it was Hi-Tech).
It's not a huge issue or anything.
Hi,
I have played with Themer and widgets last few hours, and it looks very nice. I have looked through the introduction videos, and they were informative, but there is always some information missing, and here is what I could not find:
How to lock widgets without right click?
When we unlock the widgets for editing, we need to lock them back. Every tutorial that I looked does this using right click on screen, but what if there is no place on screen available to right click (widget occupies to whole screen)?. I guess we could add one screen temporarily, lock the widgets, and remove the "dummy" screen, but I guess there should be some quicker method?
How to dock particular widget to appear on all screens?
I would like one widget to appear on all screens, something like a Dock on the stock Android. How to mark widget as docked (locked) on all screens?
How to preview a custom (exported) theme?
In the video tutorials it is said to put an image with the same name to thumbs folder (I noticed that it must be png also, not jpeg). However, this only shows the screenshot in the thumbnail preview of exported themes. What about when we select a particular theme, which opens a screen with Delete Apply choices? This preview is still blank screen, which means that it does not use the image from the thumbs. The same behavior is seen in the video tutorials.
How to know if there is an empty widget on screen?
For example, lets say that I have dropped a widget on the screen accidentally, and I did not place any element in it. This widget would be transparent by default. How can I see those widgets, so I can remove them?
Thanks.

Hi Goran,
So sorry for taking an incredibly long time to reply, I'm on a semi-vacation in Thailand at the moment and getting access to internet isn't easy. I'll try help as best I can.
1. Thanks for pointing this one out! The option to do this via the app drawer was removed in the last update, so I'll speak to the team about adding it in again. The only other way would be to enable the Themer notification bar, which has a Themer icon that brings up new themes. From here you can tap the back button to go into the Advanced Settings and then into Desktop.
2. This feature has been requested before, however it will take us a while to add it into Themer, as the resources required are quite vast to say the least. Hopefully in the new year we will have more time to focus on features like this. Right now the team is more focused on fixing bugs and improving the performance.
3. Another requested feature. We still want to improve the front end as much as possible before moving onto the back end. Trust me though we haven't forgotten about the designer side of Themer.
4. I've never heard of this feature before, but it sounds like a good one to have. I think because many users focus on adding widgets that instantly show information, it hasn't been as a priority. I'll speak to the team and see what they think.
I hope this has answered your questions. If you have any more just ask, I have a stable connection now and will be able to reply within the day.
