[Touch HD General] paspa86:
Have you consider intalling "microsoft myphone"? it can backup everything with ease, then you can do an hardreset, reinstall myphone and resync.

After that you will have, contact, calendar, sms, also documents again on your phone.

The whole procedure will take 10 min, of course depends on how many contacts, sms, mail etc. you have on your phone.

On my phone i have about 100 contact, about 200 calendar events, some documents and wallpapers, 10-20 sms the whole sync take me 2 minutes top.

Hope i'd help.

For the link, you can search it on google.

Hi

My friend has cracked the screen on her uk wildfire, i have replaced screens before so i have offered to have a go. However it appears that there are 2 different types of screens one with a chip (or IC) on the ribbon cable and one without. Does anyone know which one I need to order? the phone is still usable so i dont really want to take it apart just to find out what is already in it.

Also can anyone point me towards any tutorials on taking these apart?

Cheers

Jim
[Wildfire General] meknb:
You'll have to take your phone apart to see which one it is just look for a chip on the digitizer ribbon cable if there's one the you need one with ic.

If the lcd is broke you don't need to they are all the same

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] h20wakebum:
Hi all,

As the title implies, I just tried updating to the newest version and keep getting an error telling me that it's running in limited mode (allows key press) but when I swype, NOTHING!

The funny thing is when i try to generate the license I follow the steps:

1) click disable swype (it then throws you to the keyboard selection screen where i choose android keyboard)

2) uncheck swype (I don't even see this option on the keyboard selection screen, I'm on MIUI

3) hit generate license

For the previous build... the hack/fix/trick was to start from a swpye free device, install the installer, then install swype... After doing this, you don't go back into the installer to generate the license, you'd go backup the swype apk using a backup tool, then uninstall swype... then restore the backup (then long press home button) and click on swype installer which would register and generate ok.

Any Thoughts?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] stkiswr:
Worked perfect for me. As a previously registered member, all I did was log in. Dl the installer. Installed the swype. Used it. Realized why i deleted it to begin with. Uninstalled. Looks better, yes...would rather type the Damn thing out than have to correct over and over again little errors that my HTC kingdom keyboard fixes. Good luck w your install tho
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] stkiswr:
Also mine generated its own license after i completed the install.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] h20wakebum:

I'm at a loss as to why it won't work.

Finally got this working on MIUI.

I followed the steps from the 4th post on http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3719-Install-Swype-on-MIUI-without-Titanium-Backup

"Sorry, but for me it does not work.

This guide has now works for me.

Download installer

Download and install swype

At the enable step leave the installer and select swype as the input device

Reboot your phone

After Reboot, open the swype installer again

Select "Select Android keyboard" and change input back to android keyboard

Choose disable swype, go to applications and uninstall swype but NOT THE INSTALLER

Go back to the installer and generate license

This should put you through the download process again so just follow it and re-install swype

Once re-installed it should generate the license, but it still won't work

Reboot your phone again and all should work, enjoy!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SilverStone641:
This is exactly what i had to do. I found the existing swype apk, deleted it, restarted the phone and was able to install the new version.

All i have to say so far is awesome! Typing in "normal" mode doesn't seem to lag or be as clumsy as before. Plus(my favorite feature so far) it now asks if you would like to add a word to the dictionary instead of just adding whatever i happened to be typing at the time on it's own. MUCH more control over what words are included. I'm still playing around with it, but so far i'm impressed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luisrod03:
Does miui comes work swype already? If it does you will need to get a file explorer...then go to system/app and look for swype....when you find swype deleted and then reboot your phone...when the phone is on instal swype installer and swype and just follow the instruction to regenerate the license....it work for me....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Stuke00:
There is also a library file to delete. in system/lib/libswype.so or something like that. I had to delete that file before it would work for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luisrod03:
Its more efficient to delete the swype.apk from system/app if you need a file explorer let me know our you can go to the market and download one
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mantle107:
I'd also say just titanium backup to remove and then install the new apk.

Worked for me at least, and man is this worlds better than 2.5xxx
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Deathsnuggle:
all thats needed to install the new beta is uninstall the official apk and lib.

on miui just install then restart the phone. the licence will generate itself. im loving the new beta, but i must admit im a bit jealous if the themeing honeycomb users got for the honeycomb version of swype 3.0.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aph:
No issues here. Just uninstalled Swype and went to beta.swype.com to download the new one.

[HTC Sensation] Bigmille:
I had this case for couple of days now, the fit is very nice and as you can see from the picture all the holes on the back are exposed. Also I like the added width to the phone as I found the 16:9 ratio a bit top heavy when using it one handed.

The case have rubberized feel, not so good feel as the Sensation's plastic back, more like the feel of plastic dashboard on average car or the Galaxy SII.

I think I'll keep the phone skinless as I prefer the premium fell of the Sensation and put it on for out door trips.
[HTC Sensation] senzenina:
Could you please post some pictures of that frosted case? It looks cool with the Sensation design. I'm looking either at that, or the barely there, or this one with some acetone cleaning or something:

I bought the case-mate case from Amazon and I love it. Fits great, sturdy enough, feels good in the hands.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Correct me if I'm wrong...but there is a reason why those small holes are on the back of the Sensation.

This Case Mate totally covers up both mic holes....correct? Looks like it from the pics.... That's not good imo.

I called HTC a few days ago and asked about the other holes. From the horses mouth...they said that ideally ALL of the micro holes should be uncovered. Obviously the top and bottom mic holes (also used for stereo recording) and also the antenna rivet holes/

air vent holes

(straight from HTC support...for what it's worth).

The Body Glove case I got in the retail Tmo store is ok EXCEPT for the fact that it covers those "vent" holes.

Even the HTC branded cases leave those rivot/vent holes uncovered.

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=218026&sbadd=218026

Thought I would relay that info... In the end...probably doesn't matter too much one way or the other :rolleyes:

This thread is old.

Try flashing the Bali or Platypus kernel and use red (voodoo) cwm.

Even on a stock rom, you should be using a third party kernel.

The dirty little secret around here is that switching out the kernel is the heart and soul of the every custom hosted here. The customs are basically rethemed touchwiz, with some apps switched out, and a few scripts. But, the real difference maker is the kernel.

@ topic

same question here :D I know the sizes of the partitions changes a bit but - why?

RCMIX S is an port from Desire S not from Sensation ... ;)
[Desire General] Meaple:
Because the actual version got updated so if you use an RUU the hboot won't be overwritten by the one in the RUU. Secondly, Oxygen and CM7 rom devs were finding it hard to keep to the same amount of /system space available. As software updates, the size of it grows. Eventually, your going to have to change the size of the partition so you can fit the new updates on.

The new Hboot CM7r2 was made for original CM7 beacuse the ROM is a bit larger.

You are on some kind of tweaked(selfmade) version of CM7 so you have a lot of space remaining.

Maybe we will have a ODEXed cm7, else i don't see why they need 145 MB on /system, clearly a over kill.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Hi, I am just trying to find out the root cause of an issue I have been experiencing.

With some custom ROM's after reboot standard green icons display on my menu instead of the proper ones. I do and did use apps2 SD but found moving the apps back to phone and rebooting displays the app icons properly again.

Would this be normal because of using apps2 SD ? Before I found icons showing even when apps are on SD.

Just trying to find out what can be done to have apps on SD without this problem occurring.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekagrawal:
Well I am on stock ROM and it happens to me as well but the icons do come back themselves after a while. Although its only for the apps saved to SD.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nokiacrazi:
I am sorry, I don't really understand the question. I doubt I could help even if I had understood the problem.

Is it a graphical bug? Perhaps a image file has been corrupt and needs adding again?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
The problem is when using apps2 SD after reboot icons show as standard green android icons with some apps.

I have found so far that putting that apps back on phone resolves this.

The question is how to fix it if it is possible to have apps on sd and still show correct icons.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
It's easy. Save your scene, load a default HTC scene then load your saved scene. The icons will default to the normal app icon instead of the standard green Android icon. A workaround for this is to create your shortcuts with an app like BetterCut. Those are "stable" so to speak and don't default to the green Android icon after a reboot.
