[Networking] veletron:
It aint very well explained in the manual and is not intuative at all. An 'internet' connection is one through wish you can obtain internet access, A 'work' connection is one through which you can access your internal servers, but not obtain internet access. In a 'work' profile, you can make a change in the proxy server settings such that you can, through a 'work' profile obtain internet access.

VPN is 'virtual private network' this is a secure connection to your work/home network that is routed over the internet. Via a VPN, you can for instance browse network shares on your work network, or connect to the company intranet. To use a VPN connection, you need to have a VPN server to connect. A VPN server may be provided by your company or your router may support it. NB: A VPN Passthrough on a router is not a VPN server - it simply means that you can VPN out from a natted machine on your LAN, or, in some cases, place a VPN server within your lan.

My device is setup as follows in connections --> Network Management

Under the first drop down for internet I have a profile 'My ISP' with a single GPRS connection to APN: mobile.o2.co.uk defined

Under the second drop down for work, I have a profile 'VPN Settings' which simply has 2 VPN settings defined 'Work VPN' and 'Home VPN' (all other settings, eg 'modem' are left blank).

When I connect via GPRS to mobile.o2.co.uk, I get 2 VPN options appear the connected GPRS connection (in the 'connectivity' speech bubble that appears when you click the connections icon in the bar @ the top). These are 'Work VPN' and 'Home VPN' with a 'connect vpn' option next to them. I just manually connect these as required.

For WiFi, I make sure that my wifi adapter and wifi network I am connected to is labeled as 'internet' rather than 'work'. I then get the VPN options mentioned above appearing below my wifi connection in the 'connectivity' speech bubble. Unfortunately they refuse to connect!! I dont know why. Looking through the forums, it seems that no one is able to get the VPN to connect over an existing wifi connection.

Hope this helps

1st let me tell you what and all required for a custom bootanimation.

You must have a ROOTED device.

A root file manager such as ROOT EXPLORER

Custom bootanimation of your choice

15-20 minutes of time

and importantly basic knowledge AND patience(a bit of it)

Download any of your favorite Bootanimation from here from the link given below....

How to add:

You need root.

If you need the stock bootanimation then make a back up of that using RootExplorer

Copy the bootanimation to your SD Card.

Rename to bootanimation.zip -If the zipfile has any other name plz rename it to "bootanimation.zip" (or hTC_bootup.zip as per your device), without quotes

With root explorer or any other app that allows you to get to /system/media

Copy the bootanimation .zip into /system/media and replace it with the stock one (remember to mount R/W)

For HTC phones if you don't have system/media Using root explorer copy the bootanimation.zip to /data/local(On the desire c it's called hTC_bootup.zip)

And Finally set permissions to rw--r--r--

Should Look something like this

All Bootanimations are of 320x480 size ,

Battery Stats Reading

It will auto adjust the remaining battery life. Observe that if it jumped to 60%, it will drain more faster and cope up with the original percentage. From the technical perspective, i have no idea. But from observation, and it happened to my phone, it's just an erroneous reading which will auto adjust itself during use.

[General Questions and Answers] behedwin:
Just got my first device rooted.

Now i have installed a ROM.

I feel awesome.

But then i read this

"With ROM Manager you can back up your existing ROM, flash new ROMs, and install custom themes or kernels. It features a long list of ROMs which is frequently updated and you can install ROMs to the SD card or OTA (over the air). If you want to unlock features like premium ROMs, update notifications, and automatic backups, then you’ll need to spring for the premium version."

So now i am trying to figure out what custome themes are and what custom kernels are compared to the Avatar ROM i installed.
[General Questions and Answers] haridevil99:
Now let me put this simple. The ROM is the operating system of your device (OS). You know what a theme is. Its just changing the way things look can be your icons, interface shade/colour,etc. Its just visuals. And the next is kernel. Kernels are the thing which links your OS and hardware. Literally they are responsible for the way your phone behaves. Custom kernels has tweaks whicj can improve your device's performance, the battery drain, way your processor's I/O works.. It helps you to do things like over clock and under clock,etc. But it is risky as your manufacturer has made a stable kernel for your device and these custom kernels may be unstable. Sure thing you dont want to mess with em unless you know what you are doing. Now as you have choice to do things like changing ROMs and Kernels using Rom manager, i would recommend you to use CWM and flash zip files which has ROMs and Kernels made specifically for your device as this is more safe. But be sure to have a backup as installing something not meant for your device will brick it. Dont worry. Have a backup and also Odin with stock rom incase its really hard bricked. If it helped hit thanks button plz..
[General Questions and Answers] behedwin:
Awesome now i have a good hint of what each thing are.

Now this lead me to some more questions.

Since i have already rooted my device. I have installed Avatar ROM and tested some others...

But i never made any backups... Is it to late for that?

Is my best choice to download Titanium Backup and backup everything with that application?

You said something else about Odin, how to backup aswell with that?

What is CWM and how does it differ from Rom Manager?

When i install a ROM i download a zip file, put it on my device SD card

Boot the phone in and wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delvik (or whatever it is called) and last install the new .zp file.
[General Questions and Answers] haridevil99:
CWM is clockword mod recovery. An advanced recovery which has more options than stock recovery. I guess you already has cwm. Probably it must be what you used to flash the Rom and clear cache. Now to Titanium backup, it backs up the whole phone, so do cwm. As we use CWM for our flashing and other things, cwm backups should be enough unless you got space on your sd to have many backup files. And if your phone is working perfectly right now then its never late to take a cwm backup as if you ever encounter a bootloop while tweaking, you can restore your phone. Sometimes even cwm fails to fix your phone. This is where Odin comes in handy. Odin is a pc software which can be used to flash the stock Rom of your device. You can search and find the Stock Rom for your device and region if you google. You can find how to flash using odin guides out there. Flashing stock rom via odin will remove every traces of ever tweaking your phone which includes rooting, flashing of custom roms and kernels,etc. Your device will be just like when you bought it. This is helpful when you want to take your phone to service centres as rooting and doing other stuffs will void your warranty. Hopes this helps...
[General Questions and Answers] behedwin:
Thank you.

I can tho not figure out how to know for sure if i have CWM or not. I have no apps called that.

And how do i do a CWM backup if i can start CWM some other way than using an app icon ?
[General Questions and Answers] haridevil99:
CWM is a shell and not an app and it cannot be installed on android os so you cant access it through your Rom but you can run it whenever you need it but through stock recovery. CWM comes as a .zip file which should be selected from stock recovery or in other words flash it. It will open cwm recovery. And you can access advanced recovery options which stock recovery doesn support. Well search and download cwm for your device, place it sd card root(not inside any folder), run it using install update option on your stock recovery, it will open cwm which will be in yellow colour themed. Select backup and restore opt in it and select backup. That will take care of taking full backup of your device.
[General Questions and Answers] behedwin:
Awesome, this thread have cleared many small things that come as so obvious for those that have done this for some time.

Perfect for me to quick understand what I am reading in threads and other sources.

I have now a CWM backup, Titan Backup and installed Odin and found my stock ROM to use if things goes to ****.
[General Questions and Answers] haridevil99:
Well.. Thats good to hear. And there was none other than me. And anyway a small precaution, never interrupt while you are flashing through Odin coz it will hard brick your device which is literally R.I.P to your device.

Assume you have a "ghost" sim card holder that holds two sims... If so, then the easy way is to just select the signal strength indicator form the today screen, switch "flight mode" "on", and then switch flight mode "off" This will toggle between the two sims.

I do not know of a sim-replicator, but provided you have to contracts ( and acompanying sims) that you want to use with your device, try a Dual SIM adapter.

Works very good

You might also want to check www.wivit.com , they are planning to release a dual SIM switcher program as a today plugin
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cbrow51:
Here is where I got mine

http://www.thesimpleshop.co.uk/simple/15?PHPSESSID=2df3df9585266f4fee17f14de13491b7

As I understand it the term "ghost sim" is for these kinds of holders that do not require you to change the battery. They hold both sims and fit between the battery and the back cover of the xda 2. Bit tight, but they do fit. A "dual sim" generally involves replacing the battery, which has a space built into it for two sims. Have not found this type for the xda 2 though...

Like the "Dvit" app. Probably more convienent and informative than switching to flight mode and back. Registered to try it when it come out.

Hopr this helps

Chris
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
Let me correct you:

(I know, the site you mentioned only names the Dual SIM adapter & the Dual SIM Cover I mention below)

Ghost SIM

is the name for Dual SIM adapters that fit TWO SIMs into the standard SIM slot. This is accomplished by cutting the two sims and attaching them to a VERY small piece of electronics and putting that whole lot nto the SIM slot. No experience, because I did not want to try to cut my SIM's.

Dual SIM Adapter

is the general name for all types of Dual SIM solutions, but mostly the ones that consist of a thin holder for two 'normal' SIM cards, a SIM-card style connector and a piece of thin ribbon-film that connects the two. The SIM-style connector is put into the SIM slot and the ribbon lets you position the holder between battery & cover.

This is the one I have. On eBay these are sold for much less (see link above) than in most (internet) shops.

A special type of Dual SIM Adapter is the

Dual SIM Cover

. This is common for a lot of Nokia phones and requires you to changes the cover (and / or battery) of your phone. his one is (afaik) not available for GTC PPC Phones.

All,

Please find the attached binaries for Perl 5.12.4

These binaries were distributed freely by Microsoft in its Hardware Certification Kit and still contain the original Perl5 licensing agreement (curious if they modified the source and where it is though).

Perl and its core modules are distributable (and re-distributable) under a variety of open source licensing options. I've chosen to publish the Perl binaries here under GPLv1 - specifically section 3c. I have received no information regarding the location of the source code. I can only presume this came from the Perl 5.12.4 development repository (http://dev.perl.org/)

If anyone feels I have violated any licensing agreement, I will happily remove the binaries.

Enjoy!

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

It works like a charm.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
supposedly: amazon.com, BBC.co.uk and Ticketmaster all use it in their CGI scripts. I guess if your a company with a script written in perl 18 years ago but it still works, well, why fix what isn't broke?

Looking around it seems it was pretty popular wherever text needed to be parsed in particular ways.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
It was a popular choice for web apps in the early days of such things, since modifying text (including HTML) is something the language is pretty great at. On a more user-ish level, it's still reasonably commonly used for little "do something more complex than a shell script but simpler / more hackable than is worth a full executable binary" tools, but python has largely displaced it there. The *nix community uses it a lot more than the Windows community, too.

When I worked at level 3 we still used Perl all over the place. It still technically 'runs the internet' as the saying used to go - as level 3 owns the AS1 network (largest segment of the internet).

I still use perl today for formatting files quickly or backend systems dev, though for other types of development I typically use something else these days.

Sadly, there isn't an RT 8.1-signed version of Perl out there that I know of. The RT version of Perl has a nice security hole that could be exploited to bootstrap a jailbreak on 8.0, but not 8.1 if you can't run it >.<

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Sometimes its best not to question it I have found...

Why the hell does an overflowing positive integer in C# give me a negative integer and then become zero (which is somewhat logical when you look at the binary representation) whereas in VB.net it seems to go straight to giving the string "infinity", I dunno, i dont question it.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] BIade:
xD well spoken, sir :)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
In C# (and all other languages, typically including BASIC dialects), a signed int goes negative on overflow because that's how two-complement binary representation works. Calling it "somewhat logical" is like suggesting that 'A' + 1 == 'B' is "somewhat logical"... no, that's how ASCII works. These are things which have been part of the computing world for over five decades. They are literally some of the oldest standards in computing.

If an int is turning into a string for you in VB, for the love of $DEITY stop using variants. Dim foo as Integer = (Integer.MAX + 1) should give Integer.MIN, or throw an exception if you have overflow checking enforced.
