[Android Software Development] Eujin:
Hey All,

I'm working with a Notion Ink adam, but based off a bunch of the Nook Color/Gtab/Galaxy Tab threads, this isn't isolated to the adam.

I'm running into an issue where the following occurs: from stock, I can set 1024x600 wallpapers in gallery/desktop/etc, and they'll be full screen, centered, and uncropped. As soon as I install any custom launcher(so far, I've tested with the new VTL.launcher, Launcher Pro, ADW, zeam) the wallpaper gets stretched as if it was going to scroll, but scrolling all the way to the side still doesn't display the whole wallpaper.

In fact, from that point on, I can no longer set a 1024x600 wallpaper as a desktop, as it thinks it's not the right height/width and stretches then crops it. If I try to manually crop in Gallery, it only allows me to expand it to a 4:3 square, instead of the full screen.

This does not resolve itself after uninstalling the other launchers, and in fact, the only way I've found to permanently fix it, is to factory reset.

I've been doing some tinkering, and discovered that under /data/system, there is a "Wallpaper_info.xml" which lists the wallpaper height/width. Since installing a launcher, it lists the height as 1024, and the width as 1200, which isn't really correct at all. However, if I manually change that to 600 and 1024, respectively, then hard reboot, the wallpaper I've set will display correctly until I go off of the homescreen and come back, or lock the device.

This makes me think something within the launchers are changing what android believes the resolution and/or wallpaper size should be. However, I have no idea what service I could clear the data on to make this revert without a factory reset.

Any insight on what would cause this type of change is greatly appreciated.

As a few extra asides: I've tried Wallpaper Wizardrii and Wallpaper set and save, set and save still shows a cropped image, Wizardrii makes black bars appear above the top and bottom.

Thanks,

-Eujin

This is for comparison, If you want to know which phone you'll like more or which one you should get. Heres the answer, go into a store pick one up and mess around and then pick up the other one and mess around, Buy the one you like more.

I'm running SRF 1.1.0 and my SD card becomes unmounted randomly throughout the day. I restart my phone and it comes back, but again it will come unmounted after an undetermined amount of time. Is my SD card going bad or is it the rom?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugo87:
Havnt had this problem but you may want to try and backup your SD card than reformat it than copying your backup back on to the SD card. Sometimes reformatting it fixies SD issues. Just a thought. Worth a try may fix your issues.

This isn't the ROM, it's a loose physical connector.

Thanks k0nane, I figured it might be something like that. Any way of going about fixing it? Or do I need to flash stock and bring it to the store?

For now, eject the card and firmly insert it. If it continues, yes, you need to exchange it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I think some of these rooting programs/routines like Bubby's root are causing the loss of hsupa. See my post here about it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12828255&postcount=2961
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I extracted the radio.img from the PD98IMG.zip file in the \ace\tools\dngrd\ folder from the hack kit. I opened it up in a hex editor and found the version - 26.03.02.26

You can download the radio in PD98IMG.zip form from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Ace

So now we just need someone whose HSUPA is not working to downgrade to this radio and see if HSUPA comes back. If it does, then you can flash to 26.06.04.14 or 26.08.03.07 from the same link above.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
I am thinking you may be onto something..........

I flashed the downgrade radio. Upload speeds still slower than before I flashed the stock radio. Now I am going back to the radio I had before stock and see what happens.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
This is interesting. Let us know.

[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Maybe you need to flash the downgraded kernel from the hack kit as well? Does anyone know if that would even work - flashing the downgraded kernel on top of a custom rom like cm7 or mui?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Not a good idea. Flashing froyo kernel on a gb rom

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
worst case scenario, wouldnt it just prevent android from booting up? if so, you could always put the correct kernel on the SD cad and reflash it from recovery right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Per the hack kit thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352

I believe the kernel he links to in there is the downgraded Telus kernel: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=518730&d=1297824204

EDIT: I believe its the boot.img in the hack kit in he \ace\tools\dngrd\ folder as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
Before I went back to stock I was Uploading @ 1.50Mbps. Went to stock radio because of the ROM I am on and my Upload speeds won't go over .30Mbps. Using the downgrade radio didn't help. It was a good idea.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I had the exact same issue. Like I said re-rooting fixed the issue for me. I was thinking that loading the downgraded radio would fix it, but maybe you need the downgraded kernel as well?

did you confirm it was the downgraded radio in "about phone"
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
Yeah, that was the first thing I did. Check to make sure the radio flashed correctly. I have to go put the kids in bed now. I am pretty bummed about my new slow upload speed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
You'll have to flash back to stock and reroot to get it back :(

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
There has to be an easier way. I can confirm that HSUPA came back for me after the downgrade, before I rooted or flashed another ROM. I've looked through the hack kit and what gets pushed to the phone during the downgrade, there's not a lot of files in there:

android-info.txt

boot.img

hboot_7230_0.85.0007_101011.nb0

radio.img

rcdata.img

recovery.img

splash1.nb0

splash2.nb0

system.img

tp_ACE_SYN3KT0108.img

tp_ACE_SYN3KW020B.img

tp_atmel224_20aa.img

tp_atmelc12_20aa.img

userdata.img

We've tried radio.img and that didn't do it, m next guess would be boot.img, which is the kernel if I'm not mistaken. I am not sure what all the other files do specifically.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I like your dedication. We'll figure this out...

[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
So this guy claims to have fixed the HSUPA issue simply by reflashing the downgraded radio: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11847379&postcount=17

Maybe it's because he flashed radio.img directly instead of the PD98IMG.zip method?
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
I see we are still trying to figure this out???
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
For a quick test, can you reboot the phone again? I know when you edit build.prop, most people say it takes two reboots for it to take effect. Maybe just for the hell of it, reboot a second time and then try another speedtest? It's probably worth a try.

Thanks. I got mine working but it involved going through the hack kit and losing all my data and then having to re-root and all of that. I'd love to find out what part of the PD98IMG.zip file fixed the issue, so that hopefully people can flash just that and fix their issue without losing data, re-rooting, reflashing ROMs, etc.

I am half tempted to purposely break my HSUPA just to figure out the fix but I'm not feeling that masochistic just yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
Right now I am back to the stock radio and looking into some things. I will be back in a bit, hopefully with some info.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Cool good luck. I wish I would have caught you in time to try the second reboot. Maybe you will be brave enough to reflash the downgraded radio and then also do the downgraded Telus kernel?

I am going to read up on what all of these files in PD98IMG.zip do. Maybe the answer is in one of those other files.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
So after reading up on the files some more, I now believe it could be rcdata.img, which has something to do with controlling the radio. I opened it up in a text editor and its a small file that contains a handful of line:

QCT_UMTS_RADIO_VER=1

DisH=2

HSDPACat=10

HSUPACat=6

QCT_UMTS_RADIO_END=1

That's the entire file. What I posted there is the one from the downgraded radio in the hack kit. Maybe this file needs to be reflashed in conjunction with the downgraded radio? In theory you could open up the PD98IMG.zip file that you downloaded for the downgraded radio, and then add the rcdata.img from the hack kit to the PD98IMG.zip file, and then flash PD98IMG.zip and it should flash both the radio and the rcdata.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I may have made a breakthrough. Someone with non-functioning HSUPA open up terminal and type this (you may need to give superuser permission to terminal if you have not done so already):

su

getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"

Hit return and let me know what it displays. For reference mine (which has HSUPA working) is:

HTC-RIL 2.2.0014G (Sep 24 2010, 19:08:27)

I have a theory that this may be what's turning off HSUPA. If I'm right, then everyone with non-functioning HSUPA will have a different (probably newer) RIL. Users with functioning HSUPA will have this RIL, or possibly a different one if their ROM shipped with a different one. More to come once I have some data points from other people. Anyone with working HSUPA feel free to run this as well and tell me what it says.

EDIT: I believe this RIL is set as part of the downgrade process, but by which .img file I do not know - possibly system.img. Radios can ship with newer RILs, but they don't always. I suspect that the stock radio has a different RIL, and that is what ATT uses to lock out HSUPA. So when we flash the stock radio we overwrite this RIL with the locked down ATT one. Reflashing the downgraded radio doesn't work because it does not define the RIL. I have found packages for HTC RILs that can be flashed directly from CWM, I just cannot find one for this specific version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I couldn't find the RIL package for what I have installed, but i found a newer one for the desire HD that is supposed to fix a lot of battery issues. I got it from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902752

It's the one called HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM (Jan 27 2011,16:12:49).

I flashed it to mine and so far so good. To flash it, boot into CWM and mount \system. I tried it without mounting \system, and it appeared to work, but after bootup I typed in the terminal it still returned the same result. After doing it with \system mounted the command shows the right output. Running that command shows the newer version is on there, and I still have HSUPA via SpeedTest app.

Anyone else want to try?

EDIT: Do not do this. After running 3 speed tests I have now lost HSUPA. More to come.

EDIT 2: False positive, ran it again several more times and HSUPA is still working. Must have been a fluke with the server I was connected to.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
One final idea for the night. After flashing the downgraded radio, boot to CWM, wipe cache, wipe davlik-cache, and the reinstall CM7, but do not wipe data. I am curious to see if this works. If it does, you could then flash the newer radio as I have.

If this still does not work, and your about to RUU, try the above steps except DO wipe your data when you reflash CM7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
my hsupa is not working even though it shows enabled in build.prop and i checked out your theory and its incorrect. mines not working and i have RIL 2.2.0014g same as yours
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I still think it can be fixed without going back to stock. Here is what I would try:

1. Flash the downgraded radio from the hack kit.

2. Flash a newer RIL.

3. Boot to CWM and wipe cache and davlik-cache.

4. Reboot twice.

At this point I would do 3-4 speedtests and see if the issue is fixed. If not, then I would reflash CM7 WITHOUT wiping data. If that still doesn't work, try flashing CM7 and wiping data.
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
hey, tried the new ril you posted HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM and hsupa is still broken.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Try the downgraded radio, then the new RIL, then reflash your rom and don't wipe the data. Then wipe all caches.
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
I will tonight when I get home from work. will flashing to the downgraded radio change the ril? or no. and what version is the downgraded radio so I can look for it. thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Flashing the downgraded will not change the til. Get the downgraded radio from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Ace

Its the first radio listed there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magic140.6:
I have been messing with things for a while now to get my data download speeds back. So how I managed to really mess my speeds up over the last week. I've also flashed 6 or more different ROMs and tried several radios, not to mention endless build.prop file edits.

Last night I RUU my Inspire

Re-ran the Hack kit but DID NOT do the radio step

I then added the GB radio and put the latest MIUI ROM on

Left my build file alone

Checked and see that I have HTC-RIL 2.2.0014G set

And have been doing speedtests like crazy around town.

For what ever reason the tower we connect to at home sucks. I get .5mpbps download speed at best (not an issue since we have WiFi and 8mbps download)

A few miles away when I switch towers I get way faster dataspeeds.

Now I'm finding that various towers around town have different speeds.

The good news is my expected download speeds are back to "fast"

Here is what I'm seeing now for speeds, Bellevue WA on ATnT
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
I had to switch my til back because it killed my 4g it would switch to 3g all the time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
Stopping back by to see how its going. I still have **** upload speeds. Wish I would have never gone back to the stock radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] just4ivaylo:
Used to live there and moving back this year. Great place. It's good to know that I'll have 4G. :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] MN_Evolution:
So I ran that command and i got HTC-RIL 2.2.0077HM. My speeds suck so you're right in that newer RIL's seem to be causing the issue. Is there a way i can flash the RIL that' you're using?

If not how do i get back to Stock so i can run the Hack Kit from attn1?

I'm definitely down with trying to flash stuff if you've got any other ideas. Speeds suck so if anything could fix it and help out others i'm down
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I knew this had something to do with the RIL. I saw similar things in WinMoland. If somebody can figure out a definite fix that would be awesome. I need a lightweight ROM that isn't so massively popular as Cyanogen. It reminds me of the Energy ROMs and I can't stand those. I'm also not sure I like Gingerbread yet. Froyo has been out for a long time now and as such has been thoroughly examined and tweaked by the community.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaydenboy:
I'm a new serendipity user. Anyone know if this rom has hsupa support. Cause I keep getting 3g instead of the H on my data connection. My friend firefly rom display an H for his data connection. Anybody know or any help is appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
Its not the Ril, i tried changing it and it didnt fix the problem. but you can try it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
i'm still confused as to what happened to the HSUPA in the first place. wasnt everyone editing their build.prop file which enabled hsxpa=3 to give full upload speeds? what happened since then?
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
That is what we are all trying to figure out. I used the one click method of rooting, worked great. Was using Android Revolution ROM with the suggested radio, everything working great. Switched to MIUI ROM, they suggested using the stock radio, I flashed the stock radio, upload speeds slowed to .30Mbps. When I was using MIUI with a different radio I was getting fine upload speeds, it's after I went back to the stock radio this happened. I checked my build.prop, everything is how it should be.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
Yeah, it's a bit confusing, but what's happening (or at least to my knowledge, because it's happened to me)

1: You have rooted, S-Off, etc via hack kit or bubby's gui

2: You achieved HSUPA by whatever means (ROM, Prop editing)

3: You reflashed att stock radio somewhere

4: HSUPA is now dead, and won't return until you go ALL the way back to stock and do the rooting dance again.

Or at least that's what happened to me. Also, as a side note, for me anyway, the radio for GB in the dev section titled kickass also murdered my HSUPA :'( for me anyway. Mileage may vary etc
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
Exactly! I am just going to live with what I have for now. I don't really want to go through everything again. I am hoping for a fix that doesn't include going back to stock and rerooting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Try flashing the downgraded radio, and then reflash your rom and do NOT choose to wipe data. You wont lose data or root this way
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
So has there been a clear-cut way to get HSUPA back if we used the Blubby Method SHORT OF doing a complete re-root using the Hack guide?
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
I am just gonna throw this out there. For the details go back a few pages and read my story. I was having terrible upload speeds. Just decided to deal with it, no matter what I did it wasn't changing. Well last night I switched my ROM, upload speed came back. I went from MIUI to ClearD's ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DarthTedd:
Is there a tutorial on the prop edit to enable HSUPA?

Thus far I've only had time to root my phone. Once work slows down a bit I should have to try out a few ROMs.

Great info in this thread btw.
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
