I use that Hot Reboot App for all my roms even the ones that already have it in the reboot menu. Its faster to access and has 4 different reboot options when you open it up.
Just put a link to the app on your homescreen.

Wow, I know I do not post here a lot but the app is $.72 man... come on....
Most of these devs don't even ask for anything, and those of them that do, should get it if it is a decent product. Is paying $.72 REALLY that hard to do considering the amount of time the dev put into the app to make peoples lives just that much easier?
Sorry for the rant.
Edit: And Just now I'm realizing this post is graveyard material, go me.

Yeah I know this is a bit late, but I found a free app that allows you to hot reboot. It's called ROM Toolbox.

Do you have any apps causing wake lock? You should check spare parts.

Do you mean for like your governor? I'm slightly confused. Also, spare parts is an app, if it wasn't included in your rom, you can get it free in the market.

Well I thought so, but just making sure. Also, if you set the speed, and click set on boot, that should also hold it. And check for partial wake lock, and then since boot.

Well do click that, and you should be all set on that. Partial wake lock is when a program/app keeps your phone from "sleeping" when the phone is in screen off mode. For some people its the dialer after the call a call, aim sometimes give me partial wake lock. But if a program is giving you wake lock, it'll be shown by a by where the app name is.

HTC Lock screen

Ok so I read in another forum that I could rename the HTC lock screen apk, not delete incase of problems glad I listened. Well it worked great I had the stock lock screen which is what I wanted. The problem came the next morning when my alarm went off. I was unable to turn it off. Does anyone have any suggestions because I like the stock lock screen but not being able to turn off the alarm is not an option.

You need to use the AOSP clock/alarm. If I wasn't on my evo, id attatch it for you.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
What is that I have not heard of that yet, I am still new to this rooting stuff. I am also concerned because I am reading a lot of people having trouble restoring with Amon Ra. I installed amon ra thinking that it was better than clockwork but now I'm concerned that may have been the wrong thing.

You want to use that aosp clock app instead of the htc one. The htc alarm clock can only be used with the HTC lockscreen, as they are tied together somehow. Since you're using the aosp lockscreen now, you must also use the aosp clock/alarm app instead of the htc one. Otherwise you won't be able to shut your alarm off. Hope that helps clear it up a little bit.
Its the CM7 clock app the same thing as the aosp clock app. what does aosp stand for any way.

Yes, correct. CM7 is AOSP. AOSP= Android Open Source Project . (Not Sense based)
you guys are the best. This is the most helpful forum I have ever used. Now that was not one of those dream droid apps was it. Just picking.

Glad you're all set. And yes, xda is a fantastic forum, that's for sure.
Quick question do I need to install that apk our just place it in a, if so which one? I also down loaded CM7 and I can not find any file name aosp_clock.apk. There is a DeskClock.apk that is comes in the CM7. Not that I don't trust "thebeast614" I do a lot of security work and am I a paranoid kinda person. No disrespect to thebeast614.

Ok after doing more reading and looking I have found that I should be able to take the DesktopClock.apk out of CM7 place it in the /system/apps location give it full permissions, "chmod 777" or with Root Explorer and then I can re-remove the HTCLockScreen.apk and HTCLockScreen.odex, just rename them in case I have to go back. Then after a reboot I would have the stock Android lock screen, which I have done before, but this time with the DesktopClock.apk I should be able to control the alarm better, ie turn it off. Now do I just place the DesktopClock.apk in the /system/apps or do I install it from say Root Explorer. My other question is currently in my stock Evo sense ui, under all apps there is a Desk Clock app, will that be replaced or will there be another app for the DesktopClock.apk that I installed.

Ok so this is what I ended up with and yes it worked thanks to the help of the people on this forum.
1st Have Root
2nd Root Explorer (I guess you could use adb but I find it sometimes easier to use root explorer for soemthing.)
3rd Rename HTCLockScreen.apk to HTCLockScreen.apk_bak and HTCLockScreen.odex to HTCLockScreen.odex_bak. I reason I renamed and not deleted is so I could easily go back if I want to. Deleting will work as well but may sure you have a back first.
4th I installed the DesktopClock.apk from CM6 the latest stable version. Just downloaded the zip file opened it took the DesktopClock.apk out and installed it from the sd card.
5th Restarted the phone and enjoyed the Android lock screen. You have to leave the HTC Clock on the phone or the phone will freak out. make sure to turn off all the HTC alarms off and re-enter the alarms in the new Android clock.

[Q] Bootloader Too Fast on Gingerbread 2.3.3 Stock Rooted ROM

I just updated my rooted EVO with the ROM stocked deodexed with the Gingerbread ROM by xHausx and flashed the Radio updates. My problem is that the bootloader loads too fast for the mp3 while playing. What can I do about this problem for Gingerbread Stock ROM deodexed?
bootloader? you mean bootanimation right? and nothing, booting fast is a good thing.

Its an option somewhere in the settings. Its called "fast boot" I don't know how it works but its really fast and if you planned on getting into hboot manually your gonna have to disable it first.

Not true you can open up the terminal emulator.
Type su, press enter
Then type reboot bootloader
saves you from having to disable fastboot and only takes a second to do.

The quickboot app works well too
Your correct. I meant the bootanimation. I want to run the bootanimation at normal speed. Also if I put another bootanimation in the place of the original, which I had working with Froyo, will it work on Gingerbread?

If it worked in froyo it will work in gingerbread. But like I said you have to disable fastboot for it to run at normal speed.
Go settings>applications>fastboot
Just uncheck it and it will start at normal speed like your used to
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I have it unchecked and it still speeds up without being in synced with the music.
I just uploaded a different bootanimation onto it, and it worked. The ROM seems to speed up the bootanimation without it being on fast boot.
Good to know. Ill keep that in mind for when others ask

Any lost or stolen app that also blocks hard reset?

I found a few apps that tracks your phone down or even takes pictures of the person trying to unlock it, but like the title says, is there any app that blocks hard reset? It's kind of pointless if your phone gets stolen if they can just shut the phone off and do a hard reset to it and sign in with there email,
Thanks :-D
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I guess in theory you could place an app like Seekdroid in the system folder and then do a hard reset. Usually a hard reset won't affect system apps.

you can't really avoid physical maneuvers. and anything baked into the phone's startup has to be a modification to the actual ROM. so no.

This is how I got around the GPS toggle not working:
Since AndroidLost.com allows you to send texts, I have setup a tasker profile which waits for a text that says "androidlost" and if it receives it, it enables GPS.

Simply enable a 30 second or so delay for the settings to kick in after a reboot. If your settings will make the phone unstable you have time to alter them/disable TricksterMod after a bootup.
