I would highly recommend WkTask Manager

Besides providing a soft-reset option directly from the "X" or Close/Ok button, it is highly featured and way better than HTC' X Button.

Regards,

Carty..
[Touch HD General] Northernmost:
Yup. It works :)
[Touch HD General] onesolo:
And don't forget, the best way to do a soft reset, without the fear of not loosing data, it's to press 5 secs on the power button. One should only try the reset hole on a last chance!!!
[Touch HD General] luckyuser:
How about the drop down menu problems than!:confused:

PHM Powertoys...

Has a reset function. There's a shortcut icon included so I dragged this to my "Programs" tab in manila.

its free too, although written in 2004!

[Touch HD General] Noony:
I've been using this one for years. It works well.
[Touch HD General] dsm52:
I have to say though there are times that nothing else other than a soft reset will do.

How about drilling a small hole in the back cover? And perhaps sticking a piece of rubber sheet on the inside of it to prevent dust getting in, but still allowing you to use the stylus to hit the reset.

I assume the back cover is made of sheet metal? (I'm still patiently waiting for my contract to run out! :rolleyes:)
[Touch HD General] apd:
Or you could try A-A reset manager - search on the forums for it
[Touch HD General] mrpetrov:
Are there any other ways to do a soft reset without opening the back cover? Given how often a soft reset is required (or at least advised), I'm concerned for the longevity for the little hooks on the plastic back plate that hold it firmly in place...

EDIT: I am quite good at answering my own queries today - as suggested, A-A Reset Manager is a nice little app that seems to do the trick, just run it when you need to reset (or schedule a regular reset - eg overnight). After some searching, I found it here:

[Touch HD General] srmz:
I guess all the above mentioned methods to do a soft reset wether software based or using the ON/OFF button will work only if the device is not frozen. I believe that in case of a frozen device you have no other method but to use the dreaded reset button under the battery cover

Regards
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Err.... the reset button isn't behind the battery.

If it were it would be rather pointless having a reset button ~ as removing the battery would do this anyway.

No, the reset button is located between the Sim card and SD Mini card.

[Huawei Developers] Vivi Jiang:
Huawei proudly supported and sponsored the Hack Cambridge Atlas 24-hour event which took place in the heart of Cambridge on 22-23 January 2022. This year’s event was the 7th iteration of the successful student-run hackathon which saw teams hack together, network and learn at the event workshops. The hybrid-event which is endorsed by the University of Cambridge welcomed over 400 developers in total with those who were unable to attend in person joining the event virtually.

The Huawei workshop was a hub of activity throughout the event as developers visited to network and learn. The theme of Machine Learning was covered at the workshop, with developers given insights on how Machine Learning can be used to create life-changing apps. Participants at the workshop had the opportunity to take a close look at the case study of Storysign, the app powered by Huawei AI that translates words into sign language, opening the world of reading to deaf children. Wearable tech was also on the agenda at the Huawei workshop as developers enjoyed a hands-on experience discovering how apps can be developed for Huawei Watches and what future trends are emerging in this sphere of technology.

The theme for the Huawei Challenge at the hackathon was related to climate action and sustainability, with participants encouraged to create a mobile app that used Huawei Mobile Services to promote an innovative and sustainable approach to help United Nation sustainability Development Goal 13 (Climate Action). The winning project was CarbonSee, an app built on HMS Core that allows users to accurately track and understand their carbon footprint with the power of Machine Learning. By scanning photos of every-day grocery shopping, the app gives a sense of which items contribute the most and least to climate change, helping inform the user’s actions to lessen their climate impact.

This year’s event was the first hybrid hosting of the hackathon since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and there was a sense of enthusiasm and excitement from the developers, sponsors and organisers. The event concluded with an award ceremony after the completion of the Expo in which the various teams presented a demo of their work and had the opportunity to view the innovative projects of other participants. Huawei Developers Advocates provided support and guidance to young developers and look forward to assisting them in showcasing their work at HSD events in the near future.

This function used to work properly, but after a certain system update it doesn't work at all, is there something wrong with my phone or is this a system bug?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xflbret:
The instructions could be a little better...they could be a lot better, actually.

Right now, after formatting slots A and B, I am to "step 3: Flash Crdroid 8.1", which I assume means boot to TWRP and sideload it in from an ADB window on the PC. This is taking a VERY long time. There's no error messages on the phone or on the PC, so I assume it hasn't crapped out. The bar in TWRP is still scrolling, but I'd love a status bar or some sort of update just to assure me it's working. I've been here a long while. I'm thinking of just going to bed and coming back in the morning and hoping it's finally done.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xflbret:
Well, I did go to bed. Woke up and it still wasn't done. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xflbret:
Well, unfortunately, as much as I wanted to run this ROM, I just can't. I read through the thread for the Android 11 version, as well. Anyone who asked for proper install instructions was ignored, and the information here wasn't enough for me to figure out how to do it on my own.

I'll poke my head back in here every so often to see if there's a proper tutorial published. When there is, I'll try again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] runekock:
@xflbret

Haven't tried this rom myself, so these are just general remarks:

- sideload should only take a few minutes

- sometimes a USB-connection can seem to work but be unreliable - happened to me when I used my computer's USB-C port: worked fine until I tried flashing a big rom.

too bad that they are not free :(

are there any free programs?

PPC Diamond - Paint/Image Editors

For PPC image editors, you probably can't get much better than these three:

Pocket Picture (Just-as-good freeware):

http://osdmsoftware.googlepages.com/pocketpicture

Pocket Artist 3 (Pay-application):

http://www.conduits.com/products/artist/

XnView (Free cross-platform):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xnview

http://www.xnview.com/

http://www.xnviewpocket.org/

Having tried almost every image editor on the Diamond, I can conclude that the above options are the very best available, especially considering the requirement for full VGA compatibility, photo editing, multi-format etc.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinnai34:
I'm a vintage computer collector from vcfed.org and 68kmla.org. I decided to branch into smartphones and excitedly started with the T-Mobile G1. As I worked on getting it set up, I had a very difficult time, and eventually someone pointed out to me that Google has disabled signing in to accounts from android 2 or lower devices. Some devices have a skip screen to bypass logging in. You could probably also install a rooted ROM. Unfortunately newer ROMs aren't an option for me, as I am trying to use this device as a collector, and want as close as possible to stock Android 1.0 (though if I could simply root it let me know).

Here's what I learned in my spending my entire evening working on this problem. Please bear in mind that I am incredibly stupid and before tonight knew nothing about vintage smartphones. All I have is nearly unlimited patience and unwillingness to lose.

Install firmware RC29 so that the "enable ADB debugging" hack works. With how difficult it is to use Android 1.0 in 2022, I found ADB very useful. Then I installed adb, verified that the device was connected, and started the shell in command prompt.

EDIT: here is a command reference I used to discover some old commands, as some newer ones didn't seem to work on Android 1.0: https://web.archive.org/web/2014030...com/content/android-toolbox-command-reference

From there, I was able to run "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings" to open the settings and enable wifi. I attempted to run "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.HOME" which I understand essentially presses the home button, and ADB informed me "Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front", I'm guessing because the process "Setup Wizard" was in the way. So I ran "pm -l" to list the existing processes I could attempt to run, and found the Launcher, and ran "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.launcher/.Launcher" to try to force it to run the launcher, and to my surprise, it did and I got away from the horrid corpse of the Setup Wizard!

I need to get some food and do other stuff tonight, so I'll leave it be. I suppose because all I did was force start the Launcher, the home button doesn't work, and I can't swipe down the notification area or view notifications at all. I can't find a way in ADB, at least not without root? to kill com.android.setupwizard, but even if I did, it might prevent the normal loading of the phone, like is the case right now. So if anyone has any ideas on how I could advance from here, or get it to at least boot to the launcher or lock screen instead of setupwizard, please let me know!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zbignyev:
I activated my G1 running Android 1.0 just fine last week. You could've logged into the device with a generated app password If you'd allowed "less secure apps" on your Google account.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinnai34:
How does that work? I tried logging in with my email and password just now, and it said "username and password don't match", when they both definitely were accurate.

I turned on two factor authentication and generated a temporary password to use with my email, but I tried over and over and without even spending time to think about it the phone says "Your username and password do not match. Please try again".
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zbignyev:
Weired. It worked for me... Maybe try to turn 2-step verification off, and then manually allow "Less Secure apps". After that turn 2-step verification on again and generate an (other) app password. This is what I've done and it worked for my G1 last week. I didn't use hyphens as far as I remember.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinnai34:
Alright, lets see. I did turn less secure app access on. I didn't use hyphens, just ran the 16 digit code together...

Yeah, still no dice! disabled 2fa, disabled less secure apps, reenabled less secure apps, reenabled 2FA, generated a new password, restarted the phone, tried the password... same result
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zbignyev:
I just erased my G1 to make sure that this method still works. The first password I generated didn't work for some reason but I generated a second password and that one worked on the first try.

Edit: Maybe try and create a new Google account this is weirddd
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinnai34:
Huh. I just made a new Google account and it worked. I enabled less secure app access, enabled 2FA (to my own phone), then generated a new one time use code, and it worked. I guess that's the solution, because I really have no use for signing in to my real account on such an old device! Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zbignyev:
Glad I could help! Doesn't really matter what account you use as nothing really works on this phone no matter what Android version you're running lmao.

In case you ever wanna get some apps on that thing there are literally like two APKs that I managed to sideload onto Android 1.0 using the SDK Platform Tools. Many more apps work on Android 1.6, thought.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinnai34:
Hmm, good to know... What two apks were you able to get on? I suppose you can't simply just open them in a file manager, lol. For this particular device I don't want to run a newer version, but I would be curious what I can run on 1.0!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zbignyev:
Yeah, unfortunately there's no file manager.

https://www.online-tech-tips.com/sm...ps-on-your-android-device-from-your-computer/ <–– I use this method to sideload apps. It's all straightforward but I'm on a Mac so our experiences may vary.

The first working app I've found is tub thumper 0.33 (first link up top will take you to the correct site). It's a simple app that lets you play the drums. The other app was a rubbish file manager that kept on crashing so I've got rid of it shortly after and I can't remember its name.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinnai34:
Well, the method outlined in that article is very, very simple, after setting up the computer to talk to the phone, and the phone to receive communications from the computer, the command is literally "install [app file]" within ADB and would be the same on a mac or anywhere. I kind of wish I could use that method to uninstall root apps, but I'm sure I can't.

Here are some ROMs downloads that are still up and running. You'll find stock RC29 there, too.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt The Cat:
Hey there, I am a super newb (or noob) with this sort of stuff. I recently purchased a factory recent fully working HTC Dream. So I looked up a guide on how to activate it, I was able to put a micro-SD in it and bring it back to Android 1.0 RC29 just fine. I have a few different USB-A to mini USB cables. I tried the ADB 15 second installer from XDA. Plus I tried manually installing the the ADB driver files, and I cannot get it to list as a device on ADB command window. When manually installing the driver files with the inf file as legacy driver installation on device manager, it shows up. But it does not associate the HTC Dream with it. Also when plugging in the HTC dream, windows list some sort of HTC Dream driver (I don't have it plugged in now, as I have somewhat given up hope), from 2006 under the Disk drives category. Plus, sometimes, I don't exactly know what the variable it is, but it might be that some of mini usb cables I have aren't as good as the others when testing, it will show up under the Universal Serial Bus controllers.

The 15 second ADB installer did place it's folder on the root of the c drive.

Does this happen to do with my inability to turn on USB Debugging?

All I am trying to do is be able to access the basic features of the 1.0 Android OS and it's preinstalled apps. It came with a t-mobile sim card inside, but of course it is not active, and I wouldn't want to/be able to pay for it anyway.

Also, if this Google password generation method does still work, then my other question is, how do I activate Wifi on the unactivated phone, since I can't connect the phone to the ADB software on PC.

Or can someone help me go through ADB troubleshooting. I have gotten the same results on a Desktop with Windows 10 and a laptop with Windows 7 as far as trying to get the software and drivers to work.

I have an older "StreamSmart.TV" Android TV and the hardware while not great (even then!) is good but the company is no longer in business but I want to use it with a newer version of Android

The specs are:

I see ROMS for the S905 SOCS that have a letter and/or number suffix but none for the plain "S905" is there one that will work for this unit?
