Fosa: this is no work of genius, but I've built in a 10 second delay on this version. It's not a long term replacement, just to test the idea that SD card loading delays may be the problem.

www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJTrayLaunch/VJTrayLaunch.exe

I will try to build in a selectable delay. 10 seconds might be too short anyway I think...

Hi vijay555

Tested but still the same problem i.e. the icons does not display its original self.

Can you have one with a 30s delay as a confirmation that its indeed a SD card issue?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Yes. After compiling it I thought that 10s would be too short. Particularly on WM5 where there's such a protracted boot up.

I'll do a quick bash out tonight. I've got another idea that would be useful for a couple of issues with the OS. I'll try to get that done as well ASAP. It would deal with this issue as well.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
all my apps are in main storage, by the way - nothing on the card as of yet. That may very well be what you're running into, though, as... as vijay mentioned ...the storage card may not be immediately available upon bootup - so you'd need a delay.

Hi vijay555

Any news of your progress?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Apologies FOSA. I should have recompiled but I wanted to try the other route that I have in mind, which would be more elegant and effective.

However that would require a couple of hours to code and test, and I was too busy getting the GUI together on the torch app. Hopefully I'll get this mini app out as well though, this weekend. Can't promise, but can you PM me over the weekend if I haven't recompiled a test version for you? I'm working on many things in parallel and I can lose my "thread" so to speak...

VJTrayLaunch is due an entire overhaul as soon as I can clear my plate.

I'm really really missing something now :roll:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
FOSA: can't remember if I sent you the version with the extended delay, but when I was discussing a "more elegant solution", I was thinking - BeyondTheTech showed a simple technique to launch Skype from a shrunken executable containing just a small icon and the ability to launch skype. This could be used to decrease the delay in gather its icon (when launching from the start menu)

Now I was thinking of making a more generic solution. I like the name - VJBata'con. However, the app subsequently made no sense, since you can already create a shortcut to an exe on the Sd card. You can assign a custom icon to the shortcut. And you can keep the shortcuts away from the exe.

Thus, create a shortcut to your SD card located exe.

Edit the shortcut to have a custom icon ?\vijayiconlibrary.dll,1 etc

Save the shortcut on your phone eg storage, not sd card.

Then use the shortcuts in your launcher, and these will point to the SD card as and when inserted, and should be MUCH faster to load up on soft reset. Replace your whole start menu like this and your system will be uber schnell.

Whatcha think?

Hi vijay555

I've not received anything from you except for what's being posted ie. the one with 10s delay - not working anyway

"Edit the shortcut to have a custom icon ?\vijayiconlibrary.dll,1 etc "

How to have a custom icon?

Do you think pointing to the exe program on the sd card would be slower than creating a shortcut with a custome icon?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
My opus on Custom icons:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=223602#223602

Use the app posted there to give you icon offsets, or just use a normal icon extractor like Microangelo to extract icons and save as .ico.

What you will NOT do is point the shortcut to the icon on the SD card.

The icon must be local. That will be much quicker and account for the SD card delay.

eg:

So get skype, rip the icon, save in \my documents\skype.ico

Point custom .lnk to \sd card\skype.exe?\my documents\skype.ico

and launch that.

That's very rough, just to give you the idea, I'm running all over the place at work, but have a read through the thread posted above.

RE

Hi vijay555

Sorry for not replying to this post as I'm not sure fo what you were trying to put across

I just tried your method but it doesn't work. Here's my path

\Storage Card\Program Files\RDCalc\RDCalc.exe?\My Documents\RDCalc.ico

I used freeware GetIcon to extract an ico file (32x32) out of RDCalc.exe. I noticed something in that the RDCalc ico copied over to my PPC does not display its original self (a Windows flag) although it does display properly on my PC as a calculator icon. Is this the root of the problem?

Here:-

http://www.dirfile.com/geticon.htm

However, I just found out something when I installed WM5torage a while ago

WM5torage creates a new folder, Accessories (1), under Start Menu\Programs. In it is the WM5torage shortcut lnk file

I managed to use PHM TrayLaunch to put an icon in my bottom task bar by pointing to the WM5torage lnk file. After a soft reset the original icon of WM5torage appears instead of "Notes-like" icon

Similarly, I tried Memmaid program which resides on my main memory and it works too.

Unfortunately, I was still unable to get the original icon of RDcalc program (which resides on my SD card) on the bottom task bar after each soft reset despite pointing to its lnk file.

But I'm one-step better in the sense that if I'll open PHM Tray Launch and close it the original icon of RDCalc would appear which previously I need to disable and enable PHM Tray Launch after opening it in order to get the original icon to be diaplayed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FOSA:
RE

Hi vijay555,

Do you think I need to resize the extracted icon to 16x16 instead of 32x32?

If required, how to resize?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
FOSA: I'm not sure about pointing towards extracted .ico files, but I just successfully tried this to test my theory:

I've got VJDeviceLock on my sd card.

I make a shortcut to it, then load the .lnk file into PHM notepad.

I edit the lnk thus:

63#"\storage card\vjdevicelock\vjdevicelock.exe"?\windows\pxl.exe,0

Then I moved this .lnk file to my documents.

Then I used claunch to point at this shortcut. Claunch display the excel icon, and on rebooting without the SD card in, the excel icon is still there. However, obviously trying to launch the icon results in a msg that the sd card isn't present.

So, what you will do is get the file you want to shortcut to, eg Skype.

On your PC use Microangelo or a resource editor, and extract its icon (you only need 32x32 and 16x16 in 256 colours).

Then, you make an icon dll - this is a dll containing only icons. PHM tools comes with one, or otherwise search around, I've posted my own somewhere on the board, otherwise I'll post it again.

Use Microangelo librarian, empty all the existing icons out, then insert the skype icon, and any other extracted icons you want into it. So you have a dll containing many icons for your orphaned apps.

Then, save this dll as VJIcons.dll (remember, I've posted an icon viewer here to see what icons are in a dll/exe) and save that library to your \my documents\

Now, install skype to SD card. Make shortcut to skype. Then edit .lnk thus:

69#"\storage card\skypedir\skype.exe"?\my documents\VJIcons.dll,1

the 69 is there just because I'm kinky. Any number will do.

This .lnk will now show the second icon in the VJIcons.dll icon library.

Use this .lnk on claunch or VJTrayLaunch etc.

Remove sd card, reboot, hopefully see lovely skype icon and present Vijay555 with keys to your city :)

There's no reason I can think of why this wouldn't work. But let me know. If you get stuck I'll post an example .lnk.

You can do it via adb just fine on osx (I'm on snow leopard). You can check which commands to run by opening the Windows script as a text document. It's easy to follow what's going on and has sections for each device

[G2 General] ck37:

[G2 General] xdabbeb:
No problem. What version of the G2 do you have?

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

Ignore that, I just saw you mentioned the international version
[G2 General] xdabbeb:
OK, here you go:

1) Go here here and here and thank them both for their work...and read their disclaimers about breaking your phone. The same applies here.

2) Download the attached archive and extract the contents into whatever folder you want...for the purposes of this I'll assume you did so to a directory called ~/D802_OSXroot. If you chose a different directory, modify the steps below accordingly. The archive I attached only contains the appropriate file for the international (D802) LG G2, and I used Chainfire's SuperSU instead of the older ChainsDD su binary and apk. While you're at it, go here and thank him.

3) Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone in Settings>Developer Options

4) Connect your phone via usb cable. You'll get the popup asking what type of connection on your phone. Select Internet connection and then Ethernet when asked. You should see the debugging icon in the status bar of your phone

5) Open terminal on your mac

6) To verify that you are properly connected run the following command:

adb shell "ls -a /"

you should see the contents of the root of your phone...inlcuding a number of init files. If you do, proceed. If you don't, you have an adb/connection problem.

7) Execute the following in the terminal window to go to the directory where the archive has been extracted on your mac:

cd ~/D802_OSXroot

8) Execute the following to push the loki exploit file to your phone

adb push ./g2_security /sdcard/g2_security

9) Unplug your usb cable from the phone

10) On your phone go to Settings>Developer Options and disable USB Debugging

11) Re-enable USB Debugging

12) Plug in your USB cable (follow step 4)

13) Verify adb connectivity (follow step 6)

14) Go back to your terminal window, make sure you are still in the same directory with the files from the archive and execute the following commands in order:

adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /system"

adb push ./su /system/xbin/su

adb shell "chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su;chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su;sync;mount -o remount,ro /system"

adb install superuser.apk

15) Launch the SuperSU app on your phone. It will likely prompt you to update the su binary...let it do so and then reboot your phone. You should be rooted now.

Good luck!
[G2 General] louis.b:
Has anyone tried this method?
[G2 General] ck37:
Thanks for this. I'm having an issue at the first step. I have tested adb when I downloaded the SDK and if I direct the command ./adb devices to that specific folder it can read my phone, but just going into terminal and entering adb shell "ls -a /" al I get is -bash: adb: command not found

Also when I connect my phone to the mac I get options on the G2 but none are internet then ethernet. I get: Charge Phone, Media Sync, Tethering, LG Software, Send Images. The Mac does not ask me what connection I want.
[G2 General] xdabbeb:
It sounds like the first issue may just be due to you not having adb set up properly. If you execute "echo $PATH" in terminal and don't see the android/tools and android/platform-tools directories there, that's the problem. You can either set your path variable to include those directories or just edit the commands I listed accordingly.

The second issue may be due to a difference in the D802 rom vs the VS980. The important thing is that USB Debugging is enabled and that you can access your phone via adb. The 802 may not prompt you in the same way, but if you fix your adb setup the commands will work the same. The rooting method listed (which is the same as thecubed method) is predicated on that working properly.
[G2 General] ck37:
I think I figured it out. What I did was transfer the ADB icon from my SDK folder into this one. From there I was able to get access to adb inside the D802 folder. I did have to enter the ./adb as opposed to adb though.

As for the LG I selected tethering as that seemed to be the option similar to the internet/ ethernet choice you mentioned.

All other commands worked accordingly.

Binaries updated for SuperUser as well. At this point how do I get into recovery to upload ROMS etc?
[G2 General] steveo17:
What I did was installed flashify from the market. This app allows you to backup and then flash a new recovery. Make sure you dl the right one for your device!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ginu:
Hi,

my Desire HD is running with this Custom ROM: "Unofficial CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies/M-Series by Mustaavalkosta"

The last flash was some months ago and everything worked fine.

Now the DHD fell about 30cm down on the ground two days ago. I was not able to see any damage on the outside, but there was no reation on teh screen. So I removed the battery and put it back in. The DHD started normally and asked for the PIN code. Unfortunately the touchscreen was not responding, so I removed the battery again...

And from this point my DHD is hanging in the boot process showing me the rotating CM logo for hours if I like... So I am not able to start my DHD anymore. I am able to start the Clockworkmod Recovery and navigate with Volume up and down but when I press the power-Button I see the submenu in a fraction of a second and then the DHD begins to boot...

The SD-Card is not recognized by the PC if I connect the DHD to it.

A have no clue what I can to do recover my Desire HD. At first I hoped to find a solution withpout losing any data, but now I would be happy to get it working again no matter what :)

I searched the german forums, and now here. I also tried to find something in the Ace Think Tank. I propably missed it in this huge thread.

Can you please help me in any way to fix my DHD again?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikey001:
Have you got a back-up on your memory card?

In one of the other threads someone else had a similar problem and the way they got past it was renaming the recovery back-up to a PD98IMG.zip and put that on the root of their memory card. Then when booting into the bootloader (Hold Volume - along with power button) they were asked if they wanted to update and then the recovery back-up was installed.

If you haven't got a back-up then you might have to get an RUU, put that on the root of your memory card and go through the same process, just means that u will b starting from scratch though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prazetyo:

I was so eager to try a gamepad on my HTC one but there were comments here in XDA that it needs rooting for it to work so looked for other alternatives instead. I was able to test a $2.50 dollar ordinary usb joystick and it works fine, no root needed! Thought there are no analog sticks I was able to play games that doesn't require them. I also tried the USB ones that has analog in them but it didn't work (I guess this is due to low power, etc.)

Here's a video I did to test it

So just in case you guys are looking for a gamepad that works for your One try those that doesn't have an analog stick, it might work. Consider to test them as well if the store is OK with it.
