thanks for help, but this is a brand new installation.

Never had this problem with Froyo.

My Wife has a Desire S with GB (and my Dau. a Wildfire Froyo) and they also sync by Exchange and have no problem.

After Holiday i will check that with 3.21 (i have a old backup).

I am not 100% sure, but i changed Pics in 3.21 and it worked like normal.

[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Well, I haven't used exchange for quite a long time but for sure I have the problem I described which sounds similar as yours. I don't know, maybe exchange is different in regards to sync.
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Are you using any funny stuff like overclocking higher than normal, tasker, etc. ? Before considering this maybe you should try flashing a different rom or kernel .
[Desire HD Android Development] kitzie:
Don't use any extras, just basic leedroid with Sense 3. All was good for about 3 months.

Will try different kernel tonight and if that doesn't work a different rom tomorrow.

Thanks again,
[Desire HD Android Development] adkz:
Hei guys would like to know few stuff to install on my leedroid rom 3.2.1.

Can I use the latest Kernel BFS on my current rom?

Which radio are you guys using for better gps if possible and mobile data network?

I been playing around with Setcpu and currently my setting on adv are "ondemand":

200000

80

1

300

(I got this from some earlier post on this thread)

It is being "Set on Boot", then again I would like to have much better performance as I do get some lag once in a while. As for batt? well I bought a mipow power tube 2200 mAh for that lol. If it last me more then 4 or 5 hours while running on bluetooth, data network, and gps(maybe 1-2 hours) I would really be great. I use a lot on the gps for my work it is much better to see the area with google map :D

Yes, 3.2.0 kernel can be used with 3.2.1 ROM

USB connection problems

Still no joy.USB will only charge and not connect as disk drive or internet pass through. Connection manager seems to work OK.

Here's what I have tried:

* Three different HTC dedicated leads.

* Four different computers and different ports.

* Full wipe reflash.

* Different kernel

* Different rom

* micro SD format and tested with external adaptor.

* different micro sd

* Different phone (wife Desire S works normal).

* Wiggling USB a bit.

When I connect everything seems OK, even USB manager on device pops up as normal. I select disk drive, then OK. I then look on pc, normally drive 'E' appears, but nadda. Somebody in that big world must have had this happen.

Could some sort of electrostatic spark fried the USB pin for connection, who knows:confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
From what you have clearly described so far, I'm afraid that you are right. It must be a hardware issue with your phone, most probably the mini usb connector pin. Bad news is that if you are still under waranty, you'll have to un-root and bring everything back to stock before taking to dealer and also, your problem is hard a technician to understand so maybe they give you a hard time to convince them that there is a problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] kitzie:
So my next question would be. What's the easiest way to return to stock without usb?

I'm currently fully rooted etc. s-off
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
If you go the normal way, you'll need USB. But if you flash the stock PD98IMG.zip file by placing it in the root of your card and booting to bootloader (not CWM) it just picks up automatically and flashes it. This will bring you back to stock but I don't know if ENG-OFF will go. I don't know if it's necessary though as the most imporant part is to remove the custom rom/kernel.

When I took mine in, I did everything but when I talked to the technician later I realised they didn't even bother to look at my ROM and it took me many hours to unroot.

If it helps, there is also an app in the market that automatically unroots your phone but again I haven't tried it.
[Desire HD Android Development] kitzie:
USB connection problems

andreasy,

thanks for helping me with this one.

Would you have a quick link to PD98IMG.zip?

I have done a quick search, but it brings up loads of rubbish.

and would you know the name of that app?

and yes, you can use also the bfs kernel. experiences differ. one find cfs better others bfs. bfs and cfs may also have influence on how the advanced governor settings actually feel like.

if you use OTA software update, everything is back to stock. Other gurus please help to confirm this.

[Desire HD Android Development] winwintoto1234:

GUESS

:D that you can put it on sdcard, bootloader and it will recognise it and intall immediately/automatically...
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
NO,

1st of all wait because it's still uploading. If you flash now it will be corrupt and break everything. I see that it goes by 51kb/s and it needs another 1hr to upload. To be sure that it's finished, you have to compare the md5 cheksum to be the same with mine.

You don't flash in CWM. You just copy in the root of your sd card and boot in bootloader. It will do the job automatically. I think that it won't remove ENG-OFF though so maybe it's worth doing this beforehand. It's dangerous though because if something fails with downgrade, you won't have root access to return. It's up to you on how far you want to go in terms of risk.

By the way, just making a thought now. Have you tried to use a very thin and sharp item (i.e. needle) and some alcohol on small piece of cotton rug and clean your phones connector (and also blow some air). It's so tiny that even some dirt could block it.
[Desire HD Android Development] winwintoto1234:
+1 to this.

Can you also please confirm whether the OTA update clear all roots?
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
If you flash the latest OTA update, yes it will clear root but then your phone will not be downgradable (I think. It's downgradable only up to a version but don't remember which). Better to manually flash the stock 2.1 ROM which will be easier later to root without the need to downgrade.
[Desire HD Android Development] winwintoto1234:
Agree.

I think up to version 2.3.7 is still downgradeable.

@kitzie, just in case you need it:

how the f... does this multi quote work?

anyhow, i disagree:

1. it seems we have a new method which you can downgrade from ANY version. the thread is just here no the first page in the dev forum

2. i think if you install the ota you will NOT have ALL back to stock. i think you will still have eng off or s-off (i am confusing the s/eng/radio off :P).
[Desire HD Android Development] kitzie:
Thank guys,

I'll wait a longer for PD98IMG.zip to download. In the mean time I have tried the needle advice and nothing. Back to the same old thing.

For a possible restore, after I install PD98IMG.zip via bootloader can I enter CWM via vol down and power?
[Desire HD Android Development] Madaz2:
it doesn't right :(
[Desire HD Android Development] Madaz2:
just trying a multi quote
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
multi-quote has been broken for months now.

1) yes, newer versions are also downgradable but I'm not sure if the latest one is. If it is then fine.

2. not sure either so better to go through a well known procedure. It took me many hours to remove everything and return to stock. It's faster to go back to stock only but if you leave footprints of root (i.e ENG-OFF) it might be risky so I decided to remove everything. I faced some errors which took me hours to overcome but I managed to do it. I also faced errors and problems when I took it back and tried to re-root but I overcame those as well. I have to say that my first, initial root was much faster and trouble free.
[Desire HD Android Development] kitzie:
andreasy,

After installing PDA98IMG.zip via bootloader will I be able to enter recovery with vol/power hold down etc
[Desire HD Android Development] winwintoto1234:
if you mind to read carefully, you question has been answered!:mad:

Just put it at root (sdcard, without any folder), go to bootloader and verything is done automatically.
[Desire HD Android Development] winwintoto1234:
AND I guess the techician so-called won't ever bother to check whether your phone was rooted...:D

[Desire HD Android Development] mnp:
Right all, haven't been any releases for a while so thought I'd release something to anyone interested or a bit bored.

I've just written an academic PhD module paper on 'outlaw innovators' (i.e. Mr LeeDrOid and the rest of the contributors) titled: "Robin Hood and his Merry Innovator’s: Integrating Outlaw Innovation from Unsanctioned External Sources to Firms in the Smartphone Market". Its a rough first draft and integrates innovation studies literature with innovation from sources such as XDA with firms. If anyone would like to have a read and give me some critical feedback, it would be much appreciated - good or bad - all welcome.

It's not a primary research piece yet, but merely discusses some of the major issues between firms like HTC and rom development communities with their innovative outputs.

If you do, PM me and I'll send it over.
[Desire HD Android Development] Madaz2:

SD Crash

Hi, my SD card lost all the partitions last night :(

Don't know why.

Well, I have to reinstall everything but since all my partitions are lost, I have also lost my backup.

Is there a way to get the data from the device before doing a wipe?

It's because I want to reinstall applications from the market and find that all the installations are running in error.

Maybe by just removing google account and put it again.

Or just copy a part of the data directory to get only data from applications... and how? With ADB?

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Madaz2:
maybe try an undeleting program see if its mysteriously been deleted

So reformat the card.... FAT32 and EXT4.

[Desire HD Android Development] Highlander11:
Sympathies!!

Your best chance is to use something like PartEdMagic or GPartEd (download the liveCDs, burn to disc and boot from them) and try to recover the partitions or the data from the uSD card to your PC's HDD. I found that this is easiest if you remove the uSD card from the phone and use an external uSD card reader that you connect to your PC. These Linux applications are *normally* much better at recovery than the Windoze-based ones.

Best of luck! I hope you succeed! ;)

Dont think so. Has the file arrived complete? We had electricity interruption for few hours and I dont know if it managed to complete.
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
As promised. Here is htc's reply to the issue with contact pictures sync. You see my English is do poor that I can't even understand thus reply so maybe you could translate : )

"Thank you for contacting HTC

Unfortunately its not to sync with the pictures on the gmail, if we have any updates about this issue we will contact you. thank you for your understanding.

If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again."

Has anyone understood what they mean?
[Desire HD Android Development] kitzie:
I think so I'll check. It's about 293 MB, is that right?

Basically I have tomorrow to get my DHD to stock.
[Desire HD Android Development] DanteGR:
I think they mean that pic sync is not available on the gmail account.

Whatever this means :D
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Hahaha, I think they are retarted. Pictures do sync but they are only visible in edit mode but not in view. Anyway, I was expecting such stupid answer from them but just wanted to test them.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
How about formatting the SD card on your PC and using Titanium backup?
[Desire HD Android Development] DanteGR:
Retarted indeed my friend :D

I had a similar response many months ago when I had an issue!
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Yes, I just came back home and I see that it's uploaded so just download it and verify the checksum.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
Maybe you need to spell it out for them: pictures of synchronized Google contacts?

Bad time to ask for support, probably they are all on vacation :D
[Desire HD Android Development] DanteGR:
I don't think it matters wether they are on vacation or not!

Responses are always retarded from them :D
[Desire HD Android Development] kitzie:
Thanks for doing that appreciate it:)

Would you know how to turn S-Off on and ENG too?
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Only via USB connection. I have no idea if its possible without it. However, I tried a few Google searches like "unroot without usb" and found a few articles. Maybe the same would apply for "root without usb" but I have never done something like that and so I can't give advice. Its a risky procedure as you know and we all have to be careful on the advice we offer.

I believe that htc will replace the whole board from your phone and then you'll be able to re-root via usb again. You'll have to convince them though that your phone connector is faulty because once they connect it on usb and see that there is reaction, they will say that everything is fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] kitzie:
Spent 1 hour today trying to convince them.They're now picking it up Thursday.If they manage to get more than a charge out of the USB I'll be amazed. I think in future I'll be more careful with the USB socket. I'll be using my HD2 whilst it's being repaired.

An extremely important question for Lee...

Why is it that the theme developers are finding it hard to develop themes for Leedroid HD rom while there are so many developers for the rest of the roms with sense 3/ or mods only.

(Going by the stats Leedroid rom users are second highest only less than the ARHD rom (which hardly provides any rosie 3d stuff) users

or,

Can you suggest any modification that has to be done so that the other themes on the xda forum become compatible with your rom.

any suggestions???
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
Themes are gimmicky, lee doesn't get involved with that bull****. :p

Try using the uot to theme up the way you want, I'm sure many people are running their own notice mods, perhaps a you can start a thread to collect them.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Which themer find it hard? That's false! There is nothing more difficulty to theme leedroid than any other sense rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] first_agent:
Just curious, but is there a new version being worked on?
[Desire HD Android Development] steve75dhd:
I think leedroid aims to look as 'stock' as possible (with a few little tweeks for the better) so maybe less themers are attracted to lee's rom's? as a large percentage of it's users prefer to stay stock? Just a guess, no facts....
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
just one or two pages back: yes! :-P
[Desire HD Android Development] aypee3:
Just try the themes from he_stheone64 ( a well known themer for roms).

you get only force closes & rosie 3d gets wiped off.

theoretically, it should have been compatible with leedroid hd rom.

and btw,

UOT doesn't allow complete themeing but only bits which you can't call a complete theme at all.
[Desire HD Android Development] winwintoto1234:
Hm....

I don't think it's fair to call them retard. I believe they are from Taiwan. English is not their mother tongue. I think you should blame "Google translate" instead...:D
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
err sorry but what has this to do with your claim that themers find it more difficult to make themes for leedroid than for other roms?

logic?

edit: and theoretically they should NOT necessary be compatible with leedroid roms too!

the themes are not made for leedroid but this does not imply it is more difficult to make them for leedroid. so maybe rethink your question.

p.s. kalagas mantains his themes for leedroid too.
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Today, after answering a phone call, tow applications did a "force close" (both of them are tested - one of them on CM7, second on stock rom - both of them working smoothly without any problem). I'm not sure what caused this, but answering a phone call definitely should not do a such problem for apps not using phone line. Today those two were: DSPManager and CarEyes. DSPManager did a force close even before touching "answer" button, CarEyes died exactly after phone screen disappeared.

I did observe before such a behavior, but I wasn't sure what was going on - now I'm pretty sure that many applications working flawlessly on a stock rom, force closes on LeeDroid without a significant reason (and not only when phone is ringing - just anytime, random). Very bad news, and the worst is that I cannot help with defining exact circumstances.
[Desire HD Android Development] PDub11:
Anyone found a confirmed way to get the contact photos to show yet?

Mine wont show up twitter or facebook photos of contacts.

Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] aypee3:
Agreed, but i asked he_stheone64 for suggestions and he told me to delete the jar files.

Still nothing works.

So, in the end we are left with only one theme from Kalagas, while the rest rom users have so many options.

That is what I want to ask why.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
well you ask the wrong and in the wrong thread. ask the themers why.

but my guess is that most or all themers do not use leedroid rom. if i would be a themer i also would only theme for the rom i use.

and as a themer that is interested to also deliver its theme to many users i would use the rom whith most users and this is ARHD.

but this is only my guess. you should ask the themers. this is the totally wrong thread for your question ;)

Weather 3.0 sounds

This is a small contribution to this amazing ROM.

I modded Lee's com.htc.resources.apk to include the new 3.0 weather sounds for people (like me) who like the new ones instead of the 2.1 ones.

I hope Lee will approve this one ;)

I attached a flashable zip via CWM, if you have problems installing the zip, mount /system and /data before flashing... and always Nand backup as it might mess something up for you.

That's very reasonable explanation. I haven't thought of this.

Here is their later response after I told them that they live in another planet.

" We as a technical support can confirm that sync pictures is over facebook, not the Gmail. if you want to add a picture for the contact, press and hold on the contact/ edit contact/press on the camera buttom."
