I had this issue on a custom ROM on my old HTC Touch Cruise. However, my SMS issues dissappeared. I don't know why, but here is what I did. I first replaced the htmlnote.dll with the one from the official 6.1ROM to try and cure the ROMs SMS issues. SMS worked perfectly but email didn't work, so I then tried the the cab linked in this thread that replaces and registers another version of htmlnote.dll. That didn't work, and restoring the version of htmlnote.dll that came with this ROM did not restore the phone to be able to open emails for some reason. I then restored a Sprite Backup image that I had made previous to this entire ordeal, and voila! every works perfectly. SMSs now open super smoothly with no keyboard minimizing, threads are marked read properly, and emails open just as they did before I started mucking.

So....you can try and follow my course of action, maybe it'll work for you. Likely, my convoluted method properly registered the ROM's version of htmlnote.dll, causing it to function properly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bangbang023:
This fix doesn't work in 6.5. Any other options?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
I just used both of these (the cab and the actual file) on my fuze with the new att rom (official), and now my email has crapped out after I installed the cab and uninstalled it (both with soft resets in between) and I do not have the original file that i need to make it work again..

anyone here have the original file or willing to upload the original file by chance?

thank you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
help? please?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Da_G:
original file should be in ROM - you cannot erase ROM files - simply go to \windows and delete htmlnote.dll, reboot

now you should be on original :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
I tried that, it refused to delete. i renamed and deleted it and still nothing works...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 1800yolk:
anyone still working on this? I would do the dll fix, but it isn't letting me back up that dll file, let alone give me the ability to delete it. It sort of works off and on, randomly, but mostly doesn't work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeMiNe0:
For those of you that are having problems with opening email. This is what I have found...

Look at your registry and see if it reads as follows.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\Note]

"Read"="\\Windows\\HTC_read_note.htm"

If this true you need to change it to the following and reset your phone and all should be good.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\Note]

"Read"="\\Windows\\read_note.htm"
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dorimanx:
You Saved my Phone!!!

Thanks!!!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\Note]

"Read"="\\Windows\\read_note.htm"

works even without the reboot!

:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bpmead:
I installed the .cab for the rsw686 fix but then got the same problem of email not opening as others. I tried changing that registry value in hopes of fixing it, but found that the value was already read_note.htm. So hoping to remove the fix, I tried deleting htmlnote.dll in my Windows folder but it won't allow me to do that. Does anyone know how to get my email working with or without removing the sms fix?

Any ideas on where I can find a stock 1.90.421.1 WWE Rom? My Raphael was purchased in South Africa.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Do you still have the stocfk rom on your device now?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] reborn64:
Yes, it's currently stock. I want to give the elite RC3 ROM a shot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NL_dev:
Reborn,

If your stock rom is still on the device you might do a dump first if the stock rom isn't available yet Dump instructions and dump instrictions.

that way if it doesn't work you can reflash your old rom back.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] reborn64:
Thanks for the instruction, I went ahead with the RC3 rom and it works unbelievably faster than the stock rom. I was just having a few problems with my bluetooth transfering between devices, don't know if it's a fault of the new rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] destinddule:
Hey i have looked around and cant seem to find a GPS app for the Diamond that doesnt take up 2G of space. Post GPS apps that you would suggest if you dont mind. Thank you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jxl69:
Google Maps? :P

They don't have maps preloaded like tomtom/garmin/igo...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Nilfik:
which kind? for navigation with maps

or

just position coordinates?

If you just want to get your coordinates you could use HTC gps tool its very small :).

If you need street navigation, then most of the apps arent that big... but maps are! So only chance to get them smaller is to only install your own country map or smaller. I once heared theres a garmin version where you could even just download the needed parts but I dont know if this is really worth the trouble.... 4gb are more than big enough for me ^^... especially if navigation uses only about 300mb

2 gigs maaaay if you install ALL maps ;)? I use navigon only with german map and its about 334mb (software + map)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peterc10:
Where abouts in the world are you? Not all GPS programmes have maps for all parts of the world, so your choice will depend upon where you are. As other posts have said it is the maps not the software that takes the space. So you can get regional maps rather than full continent ones. For example Tom Tom sell all of Europe, or just particular countries, and all of the USA or just regions.

Otherwise you are stuck with using software that downloads the maps as and when you need them. Google is a free example, but many phone companies now have theri own software that does that and which you pay a monthly fee to use. Google really is just maps rather than true navigational (turn by turn) software, but the phone companies' ones are fully featured. But if you do it that way it can get VERY expensive in download costs unless you have a data includive contract. Even then if you are roaming out of area (just when you need the maps) it can cost a fortune

[G1 Android Development] Brutal-Force:
If I understand correctly, If i have ADP1 installed I will not have Myfaves on my Phone. Does this only mean no Icon, or will it mean I can no longer use myfaves? I would like to have ADP1 for the future, but i currently have 1.3 Installed. Would I still be able to use myfaves without the myfaves icon?
[G1 Android Development] :
First there was no need for this post. You can find this info searching. But if you have myfaves setup on tmo website then it will still bill you correctly regardless of whether the app is installed on your phone
[G1 Android Development] Brutal-Force:
Thank you for the info.

I have been following all the posts closely. Unfortunately I am pretty sure it only states that you will loose myfaves. The post does not specify if this means the ICON or the Functionability.
[G1 Android Development] :
Without the app installed you lose the functionalilty. Billing is different than software and apps
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
I think what he means is will he lose the ability to call 5 people at the rates that MyFave has.

While I am speculating, I don't think this would do anything except take away the fancy schmancy app. You "should" be able to call those people for free still.
[G1 Android Development] xavier6303:
Without the MyFavs app you can still make your myfavs calls and they will be rated as free if they are in your contacts. You can actually have a myfavs plan with any phone but if you dont have the myfavs application installed on your handset, you wont be able to change your favs on the handset. The calls will still be billed correctly as long as you have a myfavs plan.
[G1 Android Development] Brutal-Force:
I think momentary understood me best.

Yeah, I wanted to know if I would still be billed correctly. I did however. Forget about adding/changing contacts. This puts me back at square one. I will check to see if they can be added @ their website.

Any idea if the myfaves can be added to the dev phone as an option? While cheezy it is. I also like the function. Unlike a lot of G1 and Anti-G1 owners I find the phone to be attractiive and functional. I like well built programs with nice gui and I think the myfaves is a good thing.

Is their any reason other than building my own versions that woul neccessitate ADP1 over version JF1.31 currently or in the near future?
[G1 Android Development] s0niqu3:
You can manage your myfavs contact online at my.t-mobile.com

Doing your contact management this way allows you to phones that aren't "myfavs compatible" according to t-mobile.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jackgolfer:
I have MS office 2000 pro, but it does not support outlook for contact saving with my vx6900, I was told I needed office outlook 2003 or better, Just wondering if there is another way to save contact, I can veiw everything after I sync except contact and one other folder. Am I correct that if I flash or rom upgrade to moble 6.1 I will lose the contacts?

Also is ther a video or link to do all the updates for the xv6900. I'm a beginer to modifing phones, but I know alot about upgrading and building computers.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] just4kix:
No, you can use PIM backup. You can download it here.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] FastRX8:
+1 ^^^

PimBackup works great. I've never had an issue w/ it on my XV6700 or now on my Sprint Vogue.

One word of caution though;

I have a friend that has the Verizon XV6900, and we can't get PimBackup to restore contacts on his phone.

We've even tried doing a backup of just the contacts, and still no success.

He has them in Outlook, so he just sync's after a Rom flash, but just be sure Pim Backup can restore before you flash.

Running apps off the SD card show any signs off slowness or laggyness?
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
Hey I would like to know what software are u using to create the partition on the sd, I tried partition magic 8 and partition mananger but the softwares can't see the sd card.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] vtecpower:
I use Paragon Partition Manager 9
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Only the apk files are moved to the sdcard. The apps database files are still on the internal storage and all the cache files are still on the internal storage. Its still a good idea to manually move them over to the sdcard.

So as you install more apps, the internal storage will still shrink, but not as much as before and will go down slowly.

You can try to also move the /data/data directory over to the sdcard, that will move all the database files from the internal storage to the sdcard, but I haven't tried that. If you have a class 6 sdcard, try it and see if that slows things down.
[G1 Android Development] vtecpower:
I have a class 5 4gb card and i want to try to move /data/data to sd

Can you please post guide how to move /data/data to sd..

[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
I'm downloading the program now thanks...

Now I have to figure out how to do the partition in Ubuntu Lol
[G1 Android Development] esnapz:
hi,

i'm a total noob to this. I've managed to pull the mountd and init files to back them up. When I get to step 5: adb mkdir /system/sd when I press enter the cmd shell gives me the adb menu. How can I tell if the dir was created?

Thanks for any help you guys can give.
[G1 Android Development] vtecpower:
1) adb shell

2) mkdir /system/sd
[G1 Android Development] esnapz:
thanks a lot.
[G1 Android Development] ashshlay:
For the person that asked how to partition your sd card in Ubuntu you can use partition editor under system-administration- partition editor
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
Thanks for the info but I just find out tha paragon partition mananger can creat ext2 partitions too:p

everything went right with the software it create my fat32 partition and the ext/2. what I don't know is if the ext/2 is formated and my computer with linux does not see sd card at all so right now I don't now how to confirm this.

ps. I try to look for the option SYSTEM THEN ADMITNISTRATION and it does not have the partition editor installed.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Try this and see if it works... I haven't tried it myself as I only have the stock sdcard and I know its going to be too slow.

adb shell

cp -a /data/data /system/sd

rm -r /data/data

ln -s /system/sd/data /data/data

reboot

If this doesn't work or its too slow, to reverse it do the following:

adb shell

busybox cp -a /system/sd/data /data/data

If this works well, I'll modify the original post...
[G1 Android Development] vtecpower:
goingto try it now..i will tell you how it turnsout
[G1 Android Development] vtecpower:
It worked but its kinda slow because as it turned out my card is Rank 4 not 5...i installed couple of apps and phone didnt crash

My Internal memory remaining is 52mb.

tahnks
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
ok.. strange that your internal storage is still at 52mb though.. something else must be eating it...

do this:

adb shell

busybox df -h

cd /data

ls -l

and post the results...

[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
1.31 to 1.41

so just to ensure i don't "F" things up on my phone i wanted to clarify some info .. running the update.zip file will overwrite the /system on the G1 .. therefore the mound.conf and init.rc files will no longer be modified .. and the /system/sd folder will need to be recreated?

there are certain core apps that run from the /data/app folder that need to be put back before you can boot the phone without doing a wipe .. unless those three things mentioned up top are done during the update .. the "ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app" must be pointing to something or you'd be screwed

so: does the 1.41 update contain the modified files and /system/sd folder?

or: can we do the update and make those changes before booting the phone?

ie: is there a command line function in the system from the "Home + Power" that could be used to making the necessary modifications

anyone as confused by all that as i am? LOL
[G1 Android Development] beartard:
You are correct.

Again, you are correct. It seems that if your app and app-private directories are on your sd-card, that a wipe is about the only way to get things done, else you're stuck in the glowing Android boot loop.

The 1.41 update as it's packaged now does not include the sd-card related mods. As to whether any of this can be done through the bootloader (I'm guessing not) I'd leave that answer to those who know more than I do.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
the only option would be if you know the core apps you could remove the link to the SD and copy those select apps back to the phone prior to the update .. then reboot and delete /data/app and insert the link once again .. or perhaps i will investigate modifying the update.zip .. thanks for the confirmation
[G1 Android Development] themykel:
This is correct. The other thing that can cause issues is certain themes can cause you to need to wipe. The bonus is after the wipe when your restore your SD card installation, all the programs that you previously installed are already there!
[G1 Android Development] forceshield:
I've installed.. a lot. I have done all the /data/data and /data/app and app-private to the SD card. All works fine, however I am only showing 38mb free space. I have repeated the procedure twice to make sure everything went through. If anyone can help me fiure out what is missing to do please let me know. Not sure what logs I need to post. Here is a list of /data, /data/data and some extra.. I believe the long list is because of the link, but im not sure. Thanks for any help.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Here is the log file you posted:

Looks like you didn't correctly move /data/data to /system/sd , try it again.

Here is how mine looks:

Try this command, this is the one I've used:

adb shell

cp -a /data/data /system/sd

rm -r /data/data

ln -s /system/sd/data /data/data
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Yeah the apps will always be there unless you rm or uninstall them. Yet I've found that even if you uninstall from the device, the app's data will still reside on your ext2 partition if you moved /data/data. =[ I guess which is a good thing if you decide to reinstall the application.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Yes, through adb shell.
[G1 Android Development] juanjux:
Hi people,

[UPDATE: Before reading this brick, check the next message, I fixed it changuing some perms]

I'm having problems with this. I do every step but in the step of the "busybox df -h" the partition mmcblk0p2 doesn't show:

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

tmpfs 48.4M 0 48.4M 0% /dev

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 3.3G 4.0K 3.3G 0% /sdcard

What annoys me the most, is that if in the adb shell I do a manual mount, it works, so the card is not the problem:

# mount -t ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /system/sd

# busybox df -h

## mount point for block device

## true if this mount point can be shared via USB mass storage

}

What could be happening here?
[G1 Android Development] juanjux:
Just fixed it!, in case somebody else have the same problem in the future:

I did:

# chmod 777 /system/sd # was 755

# chmod 644 /system/etc/mountd.conf # was 666

# chmod 777 /system/init.rc # was 644

I think the last one was probably the culprit.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
so i am at this very moment using the update.zip i created from JF's walkthrough .. i inserted the modified init.rc and mountd.conf files and everything is progressing

"Installation Complete"

now to put my 8G SD back into this thing and ......
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
still one thing missing .. my update has the modified files .. but i guess the whole /system is wiped in the update because the /system/sd needs to be created .. but the update.zip will not create a blank folder .. anyone?? so i got one step closer

with this update.zip i went from 1.31 to 1.41 and only had to create /system/sd
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
so i recreated the update.zip and am putting it up on my site .. if anyone with JFv1.31 would like to give this update a try .. this update is designed to maintain your EXT2 partition loaded into /system/sd with the modified init.rc and mountd.conf files so those links that were created for installing apps on the SD will still work

again .. this update is for those who created EXT2 partition and have links:

/data/app

/data/app-private

/data/data

you shouldn't get the flashing android .. i changed nothing else from JF1.41

[G1 Android Development] caleb12:
I havent tried this, because I went from RC30 to ADP and wiped in the process... then setup the apps to sd link... although in theory ;)

After the install of 1.4, reboot and go back into recovery mode (home & power) then you should be able to either... enter the console (alt +x), create the links and copy the mountd.conf & init.rc. Or even easier, would be to just adb in while it's in console and create the links.

and if you wanted to create a blank folder, you could even create a script to do it after install - create the /system/sd folder and create the links as well...

I don't know where one would put the script to be run from the update... hmmmm, I'd have to think about that... the script itself would be rather basic...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HA! I actually just managed to read the JF 1.4 thread and see that you're one step ahead of me here... Im so glad I could be of help... lol... Thanks for patching up the steps and making it easier for everyone else though... :)
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
hey .. thanks for the input .. i actually used the new console (alt-x) to recreate the /system/sd after i used my first update.zip .. JF let me in on how to recreate the folder using the update.zip and now i have the new one

i'm not sure why so many people are saying they have problems with JF's builds .. i have not had a single problem that i did not create myself via mismanaged files and/or installed apps that caused a problem .. this stuff is great .. i'm liking the ability to update without wiping the /data/app links i set up
