[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
We all know the speakers on the 2012 Nexus 7 are pretty bad. Has anyone found a way, or some app, to successfully increase their volume? Or is this a physical limitation of the speakers which users just have to suffer with.

Does using head phones increase the volume?

Thank you all.

I was setting my overclock with setcpu and it shut down my galaxy gio, and when it rebooted it just kept on the blue circle of cyanogen mod.

I already flashed stock and it would keep on something like the blue circle of cyanogen mod. I flashed cyanogenmod a couple of times too. Already partitioned my sd card again and i already wiped everything a couple of times too...

Someone help, i have readed like hundreds of posts and nothing seems to work

When i flashed stock i used a flashable cwm recovery, because odin dont detect my gio.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Raxit k. Tandel:
Flash stock rom and than go into stock recovery and wipe everything.

Hit thanks if I help

I already flashed, like i said in my thread and nothing happened, the problem seems to have no fix

I have a similar problem or the same problem.

And solve it installing a new CWM only with 4ext.

Try that. Wpe everithing includind Dalvik cache.

And it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WtvWhoCares:
how do I install only with 4ext?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] eskorpiao112:
Try to flash the stock rom with odin, and when the infinite boot starts, enter in the recovery and wipe everything!

This should solve your problem :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WtvWhoCares:
Just yesterday i did that, but i cant wipe dalvik cache, when i select '' wipe dalvik cache'' it just pings for less than 1 sec and does nothing i dont know if that is the problem that doesnt let it work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] __GOLD_:
your problem is really like I have before.

the only way is install with only ext4. The CWM is in this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421650

This file: signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip (Flash from Recovery)

Select the one that have only ext4 reinstall the CWM and clean all again and wipe all including dalvik... will work after that.

Hope have help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WtvWhoCares:

I'm also having the same issue

(Also im a newbie this was my first attempt at any flashing etc.)

installed signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip

then installed Jelly Bread v5.0

was ok for a while and working but then i wanted to play with other ROMS (in this case i now wanted to try cm-10.1.4-GT-S5660-gio++.zip)

I enter recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe batt stats

Then install cm-10.1.4-GT-S5660-gio++.zip

Then it hung for 35mins at loading blue circle screen.

I then took battery out and enter recovery, and attempt to wipe data/fatory reset and it says:

--Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13

Formatting /Cache...

Formatting /sd-ext...

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Formatting /sdcard/ .android secure...

Data wipe complete

Also i cant wipe dalvik cache it just does nothing blinks 1 second then back to menu.

Anyone know what i can do to fix this please?

Thanks for any help in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] __GOLD_:
YOu have the right CWM (cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip)

Make wipe, and format system wipe dalvik cache.

And try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sevrennn:
Cheers for reply, i cannot wipe date/factory reset nor wipe dalvik cache with any recovery.

when i try to wipe dalvik cache it just goes straight back to main menu

And when i try to wipe data it gives me the error:

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13

I have started my own thread as not to highjack this one but im pretty sure we have the same problem.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] __GOLD_:
Is strange because I have the same problem and solve with CWM only ext4. Try with the rfs r something like that.

Did you make all the steps right?

I really can't help any more I'm new in this too.

And I use a Nexus 4, the Gio is the girfriend phone and I start to change something there becsause is too slow and break all the time.

Now I install there the Light Orange V7 and it's really good...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sevrennn:
i have tried flashing stock roms+recovery then go to CWM rfs and wipe and still get same errors :(

did you use cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only?

Do you think its possible my /dev/block/stl13 could be physically damaged?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] __GOLD_:
Yes I only use that CWM nothing more.

Maybe is damage. Becqau format he system I can do with any CWM onçy wipe the dalvik cache isn't possible.

So if you can do nothing for sure you have a hardware problema.

That happen's when your try put a custom ROM or the phone broken and after you try to solve it.

(Lengthy)

Phone HD2

Software = OS version 5.2.21913.5.0.94

Manila version = 2.5.20181424.0

Rom = 3.14.531.1 (04666)WWE

Rom date = 9-29-10

Radio version = 2.15.50.14

Protocol version = 15.42.50.11U

1st I would like to point out I am not extremely knowledgeable in understanding allot of the technical information xda developers has to offer & provides.

However pointed in the right direction, and explanations( mostly in laymen's terms) I can usually muddle my way through some fixes & updates.

Actually xda developers helped me in the past with a phone issue, and through the kind help of its members I was able to get my issue resolved.

So now I have returned, because while using Google to look up some information about my HD2 I ran across numerous articles and posts proclaiming the HD2 as "Legendary" and still one of the best phones being used today.

So this brings up my question/s as to why?

My last phone took a swim with me and I pulled this out of the closet until I decided on what phone to purchase next.

Truthfully I considered this phone a step above my boat anchor and could not wait until I got something else.

NOW, with all the praise that seems to follow this phone, the need to know why and what makes it special has had me thinking that maybe the thing this phone lacks the most is my inability to use it properly and update it into something I would enjoy to use.

I've owned many phones in the past, starting with a bag phone, along with Windows phones, Android phones and a Iphone4.

In the past basically I used my phone as just what it was designed to be, a phone to make calls.

Currently I still use my phone for mostly making calls and texting. I'll use it to look things up on the internet, but still prefer a computer and my large dual monitors when doing most other things.

So after this long winded intro and maybe useless information, here are the things I would like to get out of this post if possible:

#1- What changes can I do to make the phone more current and enjoyable ? (keeping in mind simple instructions for a simple mind ;))

I'm looking for insight on what people have done.

Maybe changed the phone to Windows 7?

Maybe making the phone android ?

ROM changes?

Software /Hardware changes?

ANY and ALL information anybody would share would be appreciated. I'm really hoping I can make some changes to the phone and start enjoying what I am currently missing out on.

However, on any recommended change could you please provide me a link or a starting point where step by step instructions are available as to how to make the change/s?

Again,many thanks in advance
[HD2 General] lukes91:
Hi!

HD2 is a legend simply because it is a device that can run almost all the mobile operative sistems that are available (and not only) :)

as users often say, it's just like it refuses to die.

if you want to try the magic of HD2, i suggest you to start with this guide, the one I followed when rooted mine...

also, search for HD2Toolkit and for adb/fastboot drivers, very useful tools... I don't provide links because it's full of threads about this, just look around ;)

hope I've helped and ready to help again :D

p.s. after installing android, for example, you'll realize how powerful HD2 is and how limiting Windows Mobile is ;)
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
Two things:

1. Great specs for its time, one of the first phones with 1GHz Snapdragon processor that still holds up not that bad considering it's almost 4 years old now. I'm not complaining about performance with my HD2. That's because I'm either used to the slowness or it's not that bad or I don't have money for a new device.

2. WinMo, WP7 and Android - all available and stable on pretty much latest versions (Android can take some time to be working 100%, but it's not so behind other native Android devices which often don't get any updates at all) - this device isn't bound by the system, so when you hear two people arguing that WP7 or Android is better or discussing if they should buy an Android or WP7 phone you can just say "**** you, I can have both of them".
[HD2 General] exautomgr:
lukes91

I appreciate you bringing this thread to my attention.

Before I opened my thread I had run across this (and did not read all the way through) but with my limited knowledge due that it dated back to 2011 I was unsure of it's relevance.

So based on your post you prefer android vs Windows 7 install, or just using that as a example?
[HD2 General] exautomgr:
Thanks Spaqin,

Although now I am a little confused (then I was :laugh:)

You state the phone has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor

Is that the same as CPU QUALCOMM(R)8250B ?
[HD2 General] lukes91:
I do prefer android because it's open source and developers can prepare better roms in my opinion :) and you can personalize it ;)

If I were you, I would install different android roms and try to find the one that bests fits my needs and my wishes...

Let me give you 2 more suggestions:

1) on this site (maybe you already know it) you can find many different roms and different versions of android

2) try not to judge a rom as you installed it, but let 4-5 days pass and perform some reboots: this way battery stats and the whole rom will succesfully settle on you device and it will give you the best performances :D it will be a pleasure :D
[HD2 General] makuu:
You make it multiboot, with WP7 and 2 or 3 android rom ( one Sense, one JB and one MIUI for example ). So you just reboot to change the OS and you can decide which one you like best.
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
Yeah, that's the CPU. Without the B at the end though if I'm not mistaken, but that's QSD8250. So at least it's very similar to that your model.

[Guys:

16 November 2005: this has been replaced by VJPhoneTools.

Go to www.vijay555.com

Guys:

someone asked how I put phonecall shortcuts and sms shortcuts on my Today page, eg

The middle line - Nenka's my girlfriend!

This is set up using cLaunch, although any launcher app, and indeed the normal program menu can be set up to do this.

Basically, the cab will install the files VJDialer and VJSMS to your \Program Files\VJSoft\ directory.

Use gsfinder or something, make a shortcut to those files and specify the command line thus:

SMS

VJSMS "123"

to start an sms to recipient 123

or

VJSMS "123" -body "Thanks Vijay"

To start an sms with text already in it.

NOTE - the speech marks around the number etc are important

Dialer

To make a call, do likewise, shortcut with command line:

VJDialer 123

will start a call to number 123. Note - no speech marks necessary

Tell me how it goes!

Note, the cab will stick a couple of shortcuts in your Start Menu. If you don't have gsfinder, load the shortcut into word/notepad and edit it directly as text.

CAB

VJDialer.exe

VJSMS.exe

Oct 23 2005 Guys, I've just read that these guys are charging $10 for a plugin to do this kind of thing. I need to buy a WM5 device to finish developing a ton of good stuff I can’t share with you guys yet. However, my phone’s only a few months old and my better half won’t let me spend more cash now, so if I earn it, you guys will reap the rewards. My stuff will generally be free or nearly free, particularly for XDA forum users. Stay tuned for more goodies on show shortly. Click here to make a donation.

This is really great - am now using this along with your app to hide the bottom bar, and my screen looks (or will look*) brilliant!

Many, many thanks.

* I just now need to design myself some icons for "phone home", "ring the misses", "call answerphone", etc. I can do the artwork, but have you got any hints on how I actually get the icon to display for the correct shortcut? I am currently using Pocket Plus but am going to install cLaunch JUST for the call/text icons.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
brykins - cLaunch was very flexible because it allows you to use any bitmap as the icon image, so just stick a few photos in a directory and use those (best to keep them quite small, 32x32 ideally?).

For some bizarre reason, I decided to make a .dll full of my icons instead of using the easy option. That can be used for icon images as well, although cLaunch doesn't need to be configured this way :)

Please post screenshots to show your work!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brykins:
Here is it then.....knocked up very quickly, and using some random bits of Avril Lavigne until I get some real icons knocked up.

From the top:

PPC Profiles using the text selection method;

PocketPlus (inclusing PocketWeather and GPRS Monitor);

PocketBreeze;

Standard Messaging Plugin;

CLaunch with your shortcuts to calls.

Now just need to learn about Wisbar and try and do something about the top bar.....

Bryan.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Brykins - the icons look great!

Re the top bar, I presume you've seen my ToggleStart prog?

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=26869&highlight=

Throw in phonealarm and you can get rid of PPC Profiles... if you wish.

What's wisbar performance like? I use SmallMenuPlus for my start menu, much more convenient than the standard one!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brykins:
Thank you....I have looked at ToggleStart but I actually like the top bar - I like the close button and the start button. I just need to skin it to match the rest of the screen.

Don't know about Wisbar yet - have seen it and seen plenty of people use it, but not yet tried it myself. I don't need anything too heavy or complicated, just an easy way to change the colour of the top bar and use my own icons if possible.

(Oh....just noticed that it's 2:20am and time for us Ingurlenders to be in bed!)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Bed time, tell me about it! :wink: i'm off to in a mo.

Top bar - to skin it, wisbar is easiest I guess. I've heard some people say it has performance issues. I can't imagine it on modern PPCs, but I found myself not needing it now.

To just change the colour - try CETuner, great to make themes directly on the PPC.

My colour scheme is available here http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=147618#147618 for an example.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mdemaster:
hey

I don't understand how this speed dial method works ...

I installed the CAP. Now what I have to do ??? when I tap and hold a shortcut of VJDialer and choose properties, I can't choose a command line. If somebody can explain this to me?! the rest is a peace of cake, just make a today plugin of it ... and change the icon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Mdemaster:

what explorer program are you using?

Install and use something like GSFinder+ if you are only using the "file explorer" built into the PDA.

Using gsfinder, go to the folder \program files\vjsoft

In there you should find two files.

To use either program, eg, VJDialer.exe, click on that file once. Then click on the copy button on the toolbar in gsfinder. Then, go to the menu and choose "paste shortcut".

Then, click on the shortcut (vjdialer.exe.lnk) and choose properties.

In properties, just add the telephone you want to call onto the _end_ of the filename.

eg "\programfiles\vjsoft\vjdialer.exe" 123

For a launcher, it depends which one you use, but in claunch you can specify the command line directly, ie just 123 etc.

Tell me how it goes.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mdemaster:
Thnx very much. That indeed was the problem, with GSfidner+ everything went as it should be. I use Pocket+ as launcher, are there icon sets available ??? and is it possible to use photo's as Icon ???

And i'm trying Claunch, but I can't change the size of the icons. I tried to change a jpg file in a bmp. but the size is now 1 mb, and what i see is a 18 x 18 icon of a 320 x 240 photo, so I see the left high corner of the photo, I'm still not making process ... :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Mdemaster: on claunch you can use any bitmap/icon as the icon for any program, so I've obviously used different pictures for each shortcut.

I'm not sure if other launchers let you do that - it might be a good reason to change!

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mdemaster:
how can you change the 18x18 size, how do you put names under it, and how do you change the

/\

of the claunch screen on your today screen, now it's to big, so I have to work with a scroll bar at the right, I want to make it smaller so I don't have that scroll bar.

now it's like this

i want something like this
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brykins:
Using cLaunch you can set the preferences - go to Settings, and the icon tab has areas for Icon Size, to enable the icon name (and it's width) and to but the name under the icon. The margins tabe sets the spacing between the icons and the distance from the edges. Go to Options and the System tab has the setting for the height of cLaunch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Mdemaster: what program are you using in the top screenshot? claunch?

In claunch, you have to configure each page of icons (ie each tab).

For me, I've configured it not to show tabs (eg "Main", "Tools" etc).

However, then I've set up a page of 4 or 5 icons on each page of tabs.

Then, I've set the background of each tab to contain my little blue arrows on the left, so my background is actually just the arrows graphic, positioned to be on the left.

Then, I've used a left offset to position the icons just after the "emtpy" space, about 40 pixels from the left.

Then, configure claunch to switch tabs on clicking the "empty" space - so I can now click on my little blue arrows to switch tabs.

For the name of the icons underneath, just set up claunch to dispay labels under each icon.

Configure a fixed height for the bar. Mine's about 50 pixels high all together (each icon is 32x32, plus about 10 pixels for the label, plus a bit more height top and bottom).

Also, have you seen my ToggleToday program to get rid of the little bar at the bottom of your screen?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] damienfong:
hi vijay, your speeddial n sms are really useful! i'm using pocketplus, and is really used to using this than claunch...

can you share how you do the .dll to use icons/ photos for the speeddial?? thanks much!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Hi guys.

Claunch allows you to use any bitmap as an icon I think.

However, for some strange reason, I'd still decided to make a dll full of icons, to keep them all in one place.

You can download it from here.

Download this and then load it into something like Microangelo Librarian and edit the icons. You can use any size, but I load my photos into Paint Shop Pro, crop and resize to 32x32, and then convert the palette to 256 colours. Copy the image and paste into microangelo studio (sometimes you have to paste into a XP colour icon, and then recolour in _microangelo_ to 256 colours, but it's always best to do it in a paint program first to get better palettes.)

If you want to see a cool PC icon extractor I wrote, see here. It's no good for this exercise since you need an editor, but it looks cute!

PS my girlfriend is a little embarrassed about being in a bunch of icons, but whacha gonna do?!

Dear Sir

Thank you for your reply

My device is O2 IIi with WM2003SE

I use Resco Explore to make shortcut and just only add "number" to the command line so the shortcut read exactly as follow:

"\Program Files\VJsoft\VJSMS.exe" "09...."

Please kindly help me

In addtion, the call shortcut work goods

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Type this text into notepad on your PC:

39#"\program files\vjsoft\vjsms.exe" "123"

Save it as SMS.lnk

Then copy that file into a folder on your PDA, find it with Resco Explorer and launch it. It should start an sms with recipient 123.

Does that work?
