Hi guys,
since I know that many HTC Desire owners after a while have problems with their physical back button, I'd like to advice you another wonder from the xda-developers forum: the Button Remapper
This is an application to be used only on full rooted devices, but it will let you edit the key layout map file that Android uses to map the keys.
Following are the functions that can be easily reassigned:
"Power",
"Home",
"Menu",
"Back",
"Search",
"Volume up",
"Volume down",
"Camera",
"Focus",
"Endcall",
"Call",
"Media Play Pause",
"Media Stop",
"Media Next",
"Media Previous",
"Media Rewind",
"Media Fast Forward",
"Dpad center",
"Dpad up",
"Dpad down",
"Dpad left",
"Dpad right"
Of course this can be useful non other devices too and there are different versions available for differente devices. So check it out and let me know if this helped!
Credits go to my good friend Fabrizio who told me about the problem and the HTC desire problem

T9 style keyboard on HTC Tattoo (Click) with custom ROM
Hi guys, I have a new tip for your HTC Tattoo (Click) owners. We all now that android standard keyboard is not that confortable for devices with small screens and the Tattoo is one of them...
What can we do if we have just installed our favourite custom ROM?
The usual xda-developers forum has the right solution for this problem and you can find it here.
Everything works fine BUT there's a little trick for non English people which may be useful to know. The post includes the HTC IME apk to install but this does not include any language support except the English one. So what can we do? The solution is do not select any language from the settings so the application will use the one you choose as default for your Android device!!!
Anyway if you chose by mistake the English language (which is the only natively supported) you can go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> Touch Input --> Clear data and the work is done!!

How To Install CyanogenMod on HTC Tattoo (Click)
Recently I got the chance to install the famous CyanogenMod on a HTC Tattoo (Click) device.
After some unsuccessful attempt I realized that CyanogenMod wiki about this device is quite incomplete and obscure. Since I finally reached the goal I'm here to tello you some advices you may find useful:
Obtaining root privileges
The easiest way to obtain root privileges is to use the famous xda-developers 1 Click Root apk.
You can find it here (by the way, if you own an Android device you HAVE TO be an xda-developers.com member. It's awesome! But I'm sure that all of you already know it!). The usage of this application needs no explaination. Just install it by using your favourite file manager, launch it and follow screen instructions.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
For me this operation was a bit tricky.... Wiki on CyanogenMod was quite incomplete and didn't work at all for me... So I had to try some other solution. First of all download ROM Manager from the Market. This is a great application and I recommend you to buy the premium edition.
Once you have it on your phone, launch it and choose the first option (Install ClockworkMod Recovery). After the recovery installation choose the second option Reboot in recovery. If everything was good your phone shoud reboot and you should see something like this:
Installing CyanogenMod
Now the work is almost done. Reboot your phone normally and rerun the ROM Manager application.
Choose the Download ROM option and then CyanogenMod. You will be asked what to choose wether to download Google apps too or not and the download should start. When the download is over you will be asked what to do about your data and if you want to clear cache and data. Choose the preferred option and the phone will reboot.
It will take a few minutes and after the wait your phone should awake to a new life!!!!
Feel free to comment and add if necessary any corrections.
Cheers
