So my HTC Desire (running Acesmod007) died the other day. It just died and wouldn’t start back up. So after mucho deliberation, I went out and bought an HTC Sensation (non XE).

After spending almost two weeks trying out all the different ROMs that were available, I finally decided on Android Revolution HD (XE version) for stability reasons.

One problem I found was the lack of any “useful” official flashable MODs. Namely a circle battery mod, extended quick settings and the removal of the annoying and redundant recent app list at the top of the notification menu in Sense 3.x.

There should be a picture here but I got lazy. If you don’t already know what it looks like, you’re probably arrived at this page erroneously.

So, the dirty.

1. Download and install apktool. Grab the apktool tar and the other tar that’s labelled for your operating system. Extract both of them to the same folder.
2. Extract the following to the abovementioned folder:
   1. /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
   2. /system/app/SystemUI.apk
3. Open a command prompt/shell and navigate to the folder
4. In your command prompt, type:
   1. apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
   2. apktool d SystemUI.apk
5. In your apktool folder there should now be a new folder. Navigate to
   SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar
6. Open the file
   StatusBarFlag.smali
7. Find the line
   sput-boolean v0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarFlag;->HTC_RECENT_APP:Z
   and replace it with
   sput-boolean v2, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarFlag;->HTC_RECENT_APP:Z
8. Save the file
9. In your command prompt, type:
   apktool b SystemUI SystemUI_new.apk
10. If you’re editing a SystemUI.apk directly from your phone (adb pull, etc), skip this and go to the next step. Now if you’re editing a SystemUI.apk from a flashable zip, I have had success with just replacing the original apk with this new apk (YMMV). [Don't forget to delete the old apk rename the new apk from SystemUI_new.apk to SystemUI.apk.]
11. Open up the old and new apks in 7zip or WinRAR. In the root directory, you’ll find a file called classes.dex
    Take the classes.dex from the new apk and put it into the old apk.
12. Put the old (but modified) SystemUI.apk back into your phone. Make sure the file permissions is, like all /system/app files, 644.

You have now removed HTC’s Recent Apps. If it doesn’t work, you may not have overwritten the old SystemUI.apk.

Features:
- Disable LCD backlight at record start and re-enable at end
- Toggle backlight during recording
- Low Voltage Warning
- Low Disk Space Warning

Requirements:
Must be in video mode (video mode dial) and in record mode (not playback)

Parameters Available:
Low Voltage Threshold – Triggers Low Voltage alert
Low Disk Space Percent Threshold – Triggers Alert if free disk space is less than this (in percent)
Enable Low Voltage Alert – 1 means it will alert you. Any other number means off.
Enable Low Disk Space Alert – 1 means it will alert. Any other number means off.

Usage:
- In ALT mode, fully depress the shutter to start the script and thus recording and press again to stop it.
- You may run this script even after you have started a recording.
- The “Display” button will toggle your backlight when you are recording.

Tested:
A1100IS

If you have a table within a div, like so…

<div>
    <table style="width: 100%"...
    ...
    </table>
</div>

…you may experience problems with non-fixed width columns overshooting their boundaries in Internet Explorer (even IE8 under Win7).

The solution is this:

<div style="zoom: 1; overflow: auto;">
    <div id="myDiv" style="zoom: 1;">
        <table style="width: 100%"...
        ...
        </table>
    </div>
</div>

I’ve got this to work under IE8 in Win 7 x64 WITHOUT the second level div.

If you want to cater for those using IE6 or lesser, you will have to add an extra conditional. This is why I’ve left in the second level div.

<div style="zoom: 1; overflow: auto;">
    <div id="myDiv" style="zoom: 1;">
        <table style="width: 100%"...
        ...
        </table>
    </div>
</div>

<!--[if lt IE 7]><style> #myDiv { overflow: auto; } </style><![endif]-->

Why people still use IE is beyond me. Just in case you were wondering, this isn’t a “feature” or a lack of CSS implementation (of which there are many), this is a big friggin bug.

It’s really that simple. Forget about Illuminable or CoreFLAC. This simply works. =)
