Honestly, I don't think you're going to get any help here. Yes, I know 15 minutes is not a large amount of time to test out an app. But that's the way it is and I feel you (we) should go by that. A lot of hard work and time away from loved ones go into making these apps and they should benefit from it. Not saying I'm perfect, but remember the saying "you get what you pay for."

I appreciate what you said, as I myself do some developing work in my spare time and have made ipa files for the ipad as well as iphone/ipod touch.... I am learning to do the same with apk files. Some apk files don't give you any minutes to test them out. I've donated to many people on here for their roms and I buy a great deal of apps from the app market as well as android market.... not everyone who uses applanet or any other source, doesn't purchase the apps in the end. I know I do. If not you don't get the updated, less problematic apps.

thanks for your input though.

I agree with you 100% I use applanet to fully try things out 24 to 48 hours tops.Then I go back and buy it from the Android market. Not everyone uses applanet for the wrong intentions. And I know its been said before but 15minutes is not enough time to test out an app.

I have edited the build.prop to make the Shift look like the EVO. Now, MLB will allow you to watch live games, however, there is no audio while watching the game live. Audio works if you just use audio however. I tried changing audio sources in the app and still not working. Also did the http proxy and http server address fix (0 and 0.0.0.0, respectively) and still the audio won't work while playing a game.

Is there anything else I might need to change in the build.prop? Basically, everything that said "speedy" I changed to "supersonic", changed the fingerprint, and also changed the device number to PC36100 like the EVO is. I'm out of ideas.

Thanks in advance!

Hello

I bought the HTC Desire S in the A1 Shop a week ago. When I bought it the guy from A1 told me that they have only the first and charge and therefore the devices aren't branded. On the device, there are only some A1 apps which aren't deletable by the normal uninstall function. Nevertheless there is no Providerlogo at the Startup. So do I have now a branded or unbranded Device? Which Softwarenumber or anything else does the unbranded Devices have?

Sim-Lock is also not included. My last Devices from A1 always had a SImlock and a Bootlogo.

Are there any ways or tutorials for Debranding the device right now?

1.28 is htc version

have u even looked at this forum or why u ask such stupid questions?

How to DOWNGRADE Desire S with S-ON

it's on of the first posts in the android development section :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Best way is, cause i guess you live in austria like me :P, go to a handy dealer (lol what word) near you who has an xtc-clip. S-Off it and flash a custom rom like i did :).

If you have questions, dont hasitate to pm me.

greetings
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
Thx. To which dealer did you get? would the dealer be able to flash the original rom? would i loose the garanty?

If the A1 guy promised me a brandingfree device wouldnt it be deception if I get one with Branding?

greets
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
yes you will loose garanty cause u can't restore the xtc clip s-off, if u only want branding free use the tutorial i linked u in my 1st post
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
Stupid question?

YOU know everything?

Why he should downgrade or use another ROM?

If the "only" thing is to get rid of some apps from /system, you need root.

For permanent root you need s-off:

After S-OFF, use gingerbreak & titanium (busybox) and you can uninstall the apks you do not like.
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
Thx for all of your replies.

To declare a bit what i would like to have.

I don't only want to debrand because of the stupid A1 apps, but much more to get the updates dirctly over HTC. I don't like to wait till A1 releases the Firmeware. For the old Desire A1 released a France Firmware with french Apps!!!!!!!!:mad:

This are the things I want to prevent.

Greets
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
well u read what he wrote? "Are there any ways or tutorials for Debranding the device right now?"

he want's to debrand, htc got lowest version, so he got to... ouuuuuuuuuuh... downgrade!

u wanna get him s-off + loosing guaranty for ever cause u can't restore xtc clip s-off for removing some branding apps? yea, WONDERFUL idea :rolleyes:

@juergen: nutze den thread den ich dir gelinkt habe, mit dem downgrade komsmt du auf das orginale htc rom und bist die a1 apps los + bekommst die updates von htc direkt, das ist doch was du wolltest?
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
ja stimmt.

Möchte es in dem Zustand haben, alls wär ich zum Mediamarkt gegangen und hätte es gekauft, anstatt in den A1 Shop. Ich möchte nur immer die aktuellsten und offiziellen Firmewares von HTC bekommen und nicht ewig auf A1 warten.

English: Yes I want it in a state in which i would get it at Media Markt or Amazon and not liek in the A1 Store. I only want to get always the latest official Firmewares.

Is there a big danger to break the phone?

greets
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
not really, the temp root + misc_version can't harm your phone duo to s-on and i didnt heard that a ruu goes wrong, except the user is so stupid and pulls the usb cable :D
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
And he has do know, that he has to downgrade for this? - YOU called that a "stupid question". He wanted to know HOW. So you gave him corret answer but (unless YOU do a permroot for S-ON ;) ) you should not welcome a newbie this way.

And I gave him another possibility because it was not really clear what he want's. So, what's your problem?

And no guaranty cause off s-off? Only if the error is caused (iirc "ursächlicher Zusammenhang") by the sw-change. Can't image a1 wants publicity at a court - and publicity in the android-communities in such a matter.
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
nothing do to do with court

s-off = no guarantee cause u changed something with external hardware and modified android system (rooting), so you loose guarantee cause its forbidden, a1 wouldn't get any publicty cause they know they are right ;)
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
It is defintive legal to simunlock the phone (as a side-product it was also S-OFF)

And to root android is forbidden by which law? ;)

So, if they would refuse me guarantee (eg hw-antenna broke != do to with root), we would meet at court.
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
So now I have only one question left. A user from another forum (he is from Austria) wrote that when he bought his phone that he also had the A1 apps but after he performed a global reset the A1 apps were gone an it seems its debrandet. is it possible that A1 only changed the Software ID for future updates and installed the A1 apps but didn't do it permanently? It also wondered me that they would have made a brandingfirmeware in such a short time. I'm going to figure his softwarenumber out

greets
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
well maybe, but the xtc clip is not exchanging the bootloader of htc with a enginering bootloader, which is both htc property

the xtc clip is killing the s-off so its modifying htc's protected bootloader, which would result in smth illegal, if i am right ;)
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
@Blezz @dont know

Do I use garanty by downgrading ?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
well you are modifying a1's system, so i guess yes

but you can easily restore it with flashing a1 ruu again

the problem at s-off is simply that u can't restore it again
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
ok the thing is only that A1 should never notice that because I thnk they will send the device to HTZC and wont repair things on their own.
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
well even if you would need garanty it is easy to flash it back to a1 system if you got the RUU so that shouldnt make a problem now
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
Ok and how would i get the orignal Ruu from A1?

Can i make a backup of it or is it somewhere on the net.

What kind of steps have to be done in the tutorial of sonikz where he says you can now downgrade with the exe?

I redad with the Desire HD was a Problem if you downgraded to the HTC Firmeware because the OTA Updates didn't work aftwerwards. Whats here with the Desire S? Would I have to change somethng which would cost me my guarantee ?

Whats if my Software id is like this: 1.32.163.1 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.15_M

but the official rom is like this: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release.

Is there a Problem if the HTC Version has a lower Number than the A1 Version?
[HTC Desire S] fallenguru:
Slightly OT: If you don't want a locked & branded phone - and I totally get that - ... why did you buy one?

It's not as if the Desire S weren't available in Austria unlocked, see http://geizhals.at/a612022.html (black) and http://geizhals.at/a615854.html (silver) and I highly doubt that the "subsidized" version is cheaper over 2 years.
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
I took it because I changed my contracted but stayed with A1. I pay 19 euro which is much cheaper than before and got the Desire S with my Mobile points for around 299 euros. When I asked the guy if the desire s is unbranded he said totally yes becvuase its the first shipment they sell. I looked on the Phone, there were only some A1 apps but no A1 baner or something like this. I didnt knew that I can identify the Branding by the Softwarenumber, so I thought he will be right and their wont be a branding. but know it turned out that it is branded because my girlfriend had a different softwarnumber....

Thats the whole story. Idont thnk it will be an advantage if I sew A1 for selling me something I didnt want. At least simlock isnt there.
[HTC Desire S] fallenguru:
(all costs over 2 years and including phone, rounded to the nearest €10)

A1 phone & contract: €760

open phone & Bob [A1 MVNO] contract: €730

open phone & A1 contract: €880 minus whatever "cash" bonus they're offering for the contract extension atm.

...

Even if I absolutely wanted to stay with A1 I wouldn't want to enter into a 2-year contract, have the hassle with the debranding/updates and reduced resale value for this kind of savings. But YMMV, to each his own and so on ...

(And there's no need to sue them, AFAIK you can renenge(?) on the contract and the phone purchase within 7 working days. You might also try suggesting as much, maybe they'll give you a better deal.)
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
Yes but selling me something which I didnt knew like deception. I only dont think that this will have an positive effect. Tomorrow is the seventh day I own this phone. Wat should they give me with the better deal. 1 month off the contract?

Also I thougth it would be very easy to debrand because also popular sites like Cnet odr chip.de wrote a HTC Desire Debrand guide...
[HTC Desire S] fallenguru:
You could try for a slightly lower monthly rate or a free extra (some EU minutes maybe, whatever you need).
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
Can anyone tell me if there will be problems with the OTA Update aftterwards like with the Desire HD?

And will there also be problems by downgradeing because of the lower versionnumber of the HTC device?

[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
Oh sorry. didn't get that this has that adventage.

How I said. zhe only thing I worry about would be the updateproblem like with the Desire HD where the updates didn't worked afterwards, and which things then had to be done to get it working again.

Do you think they will work or will we only see that if the first updates will be released?

Hi, i'm on LeeDroid 3.0.6R2 rom.

I have this problem of USB transferring somehow being very slow, which sometimes will idle for sometime for completing the transfer, which i find it problematic as sometimes it will just hanged there and not transferring.

I tried taking out SD card put on adapter and transfer it, no problem. Therefore SD card is ruled out.

As i only have one and only mini-usb cable, i can't test whether is it USB cable or USB port problem on the phone.

I did some simple googling on the net and found some old thread stating it is the kernel problem? not sure though. As previously when on stock rom, it seems to be ok.

Would appreciate if people could tell me whats wrong? thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluzermajstor:
Did you try transfer via usb in recovery... if it works fine, than the problem is in ROM* or mostlikely sd partitioning, it's possible that you'r sd is not properly partitioned if recovery did your partitioning. Leedroid runs with A2SD, with ext3/ext4 partition. Partition your sd with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 6.0 - (earlier have no ext4), flash ROM again and everything should be fine... :) Don't forget- Nandroid backup just in case ;)

*With all respect for Lee... Of course that ROM is very good, but flashing maybe went wrong... because of sd or something else... In his post there's Melethron's ext3 script which is recomended by Lee before flashing ROM, and works great, but the best partition method is your own....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngsngn:
Hi, i did thought is the rom problem, therefore i did transfer via recovery, at first is ok. But subsequent transfer the problem arise. For sd partitioning, i partition via CWM 3.0.2.8 . Now that you have mentioned it, perhaps is the sd partitioning that went wrong...

So let say i want to re partition again, how do i backup my apps that are installed on the ext partition? Use titanium backup? i'm not sure which partition ext3 or ext4 i'm on, anyway to check?

thanks.

EDIT: for the ext3 patch, i did flash it before i flash the rom, but it hanged at the alpharev why so serious boot screen, therefore i re partition through CWM and flash the rom without the ext3 patch and it boot ok.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluzermajstor:
I had the same problem with ext3 patch, but then I wiped all data, formated sd at recovery and then run ext3 patch and everything was fine. But, the best method is to partition like I said before :).

Do your backup with titanium, apps & data. And later just restore. But there is a script U can flash before ROM, and then after flashing rom again, and all of your apps will be there. http://www.e-tel.eu/2011/05/blogger-made-my-post-disappear.html - Script by Alex, I use it and it does what it says... But titanium is needed to restore just data for some apps because script does not backup data with apps.

when you install on your pc MiniTool partition Wizard Home Edition and use it for your sd, you will see the ext you'r on and also partition it. There are some threads with links for download and instructions (but process is simple). Just remember to backup sd on pc, after U did titanium. And after partitioning copy it back with rom.zip... then recovery, flash zip :). There's tool on market to check sd speed - Sd Tools.
