[Touch Pro CDMA] MrTek:
So I am at a cross roads...

I have a VZW 6800 which has been an excellent phone. I'm tired of the out of memory restrictions on it though because it only has 64mb of RAM.

The crippled VZW Touch Pro has 192mb of memory so that's a huge increase (but a disapointment from 288 on the sprint), so it would solve my memory problem.

The touch Pro 2 has been announced and at best we will see it on VZW by december, but most likely Feb of 2010.

The Touch Pro 2 has marginal upgrades such as better resolution, but it also loses things like a Dpad. The processor and camera appear to be the same.

Soo..with all of this logic, Would you wait for the TP2, or get the TP now? The rom scene for the TP seems mature too.

If you did upgrade from the 6800 to the TP, what was your opinion of the difference?
[Touch Pro CDMA] MrTek:
Ok...so I bit the bullet and picked up the Touch Pro.

So far, yes, it is an improvement. I have been doing all the actions without being out of memory...
[Touch Pro CDMA] Elite Precision:
If you dont use Touchflo its very hard to run out of memory. However with TF3D running and a few apps ie: pocketplayer, IE, sms, etc i am constantly having to babysit this thing. This is with a vzw optomized custom rom and 40+ megs ram available at start up. run opera for a bit and it needs to be rebooted.
[Touch Pro CDMA] kdj67f:
And people said 128 is enough... :D

I know some people that have the touch (6900) and run out of memory the same as the titan with custom, optimized roms. I don't mind babysitting my phone though, always have been pretty religious on managing my own memory. It does help when you have a mem limited device.
[Touch Pro CDMA] vpgtd:
i baught the sprint tp and use it on vzw network
[Touch Pro CDMA] kdj67f:
Thanks for that insight ;)
[Touch Pro CDMA] Asphyx:
I made the upgrade from the 6800 to the 6850 (Verizons version of the TP)

I have to say it's worth the upgrade as far as memory is concerned but the unit STILL will run out of memory if your not careful...

Now most of that has to do with the Apps more than the phone...as someone mentioned, Use Opera for any extended length of time and you will have to reset the unit...I couldn't get You Tube to run as there wasn't enough memory available on one of the ROMs I tried to use...

I would say that if you don't intend to run much more than you had on your 6800 then you will love the performance of the TP.

But if you want to play with TF3D (which IMO isn't a finished piece of work yet!) you will find all that extra memory really doesn't buy you all that much other than snappier performance...You will still find yourself resetting due to memory leaks and undumped cache.

It seems that each new generation of phones is designed with just enough power and memory to run all the stuff your last phone ran as it was intended to run....

But they also come with new software and capabilities that when you try to take advantage of them you quickly find yourself asking why didn't they put more into the unit?

I would love to have waited for the TP2...but by the time Verizon gets it in there will probably be a CDMA version of the IPhone....I hate Apple but I have to admit it is the one phone out there that seems to run everything for it well....
[Touch Pro CDMA] MrTek:
So I have the TP now, and the only thing I really dislike about it is the missing 96mb of memory still.

I keep wondering that if the TP2 makes it to Verizon unscathed how I will feel about missing the Dpad. The Zoom slider may work better than the circular zoom slider on the TP as well.
[Touch Pro CDMA] blancmik:
I have had the touch pro for about a week now, an upgrade from the 6800. I, like alot of people am having a love hate relationship with this.

What I like:

-->I like the screen (both the look and the finger touch)

-->I like the camera

What I don't like:

-->I realize this has an additional 128 MB of RAM, however even with a stripped down ROM, I'm still having some issues with apps closing. I

-->Battery life sucks

-->Charging sucks (the thing drains even when its plugged in; this was not an issue on the 6800)

-->The aGPS on the Titan worked great!

Other comments:

I like having the numbers keys, but I'm still getting used to the key layout.

The dPad works, but the right and left are not very responsive
[Touch Pro CDMA] cornelious2:
if its anything like the sprint TP you need to touch to the outside of the circle for the dpad. once you learn how it works youll find that left and right are really quite sensative.

[XPERIA X1 General] 6600_best:
hi

can anyone plz tell me what are the differance b/w stock opera and the new opera....

and which build is the best for x1i....

Also wanted to know, how to remove/replace stock opera for device memory so that i can install new opera in phone/storage card

thanx
[XPERIA X1 General] norti:
Uninstall it via Settings/System/Remove programs

Differences:

SE Opera can use Flash Lite 3.1, Gears edition not. Gears edition supports FULL AJAX while SE's not. You choose :)
[XPERIA X1 General] cursor:
why remove? just install 9.5b2 without touching the stock one. they install in diferent folders and use diferent appdata folder to store settings, so you can run both and get the best of everyone :D

anyways, since I installed 9.5b2 I never touched anymore the stock one xD
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
Also, the stock opera can use the scroll mouse to scroll thru web pages which is EXTREMLY helpful, all others can not.

Hi. How to flash a new rom to niki100 ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] animelover:
Plugin the USB cable into your device and PC, start the Update.exe and wait until it's finished! ;)

If you stuck in the bootloader, simply flash an original Provider ROM like from T-Mobile or whatever you use! After that, flash HardSPL (read the sticky!!!) and try it again!

To flash a ROM, you don't need ActiveSync running!!!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] squire23:
Do I need to run any other program before I flash a new ROM or can I just basically flash it straight with the default HTC setup running?

squire
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
If you are just flashing the official ROMs, then just follow the links from your phone company or HTC. Download the ROM and run it on your PC.

If you want to flash custom ROM, then more work is needed:

1) Make sure phone is unlock

2) HardSPL the phone to protect the bootloader from being overwritten

3) Download and flash the custom ROMs.
[Touch HD General] amir77a:
I was wondering what is your backup/restore strategy when changing ROMs.

When I install a freshly cooked ROM, there are 3 stages for installation:

1. Installing the ROM itself which is obvious.

2. Install all personal cabs - with or without UC support.

3. Configure everything to work according to my personal configurations.

The most annoying part is the 3rd, since I have to go through each and every program, and run the process, of configuring all the options. This process always, takes me longer then installing everything.

Is there a way to backup/restore globally all settings?

Amir.

[Touch HD General] amir77a:
I know that software. Doesn't it's OS migration option is risky?

I remember reading many bad opinions against using that option...

???

Amir.
[Touch HD General] KChauJen:
I shouldn't agree more.

There's a lot of confliction and problematic after full restore the backup from the previous ROM to the new ROM.

It's my experiences.

[Touch HD General] amir77a:
intersting idea.

I tried Sashimi before, but I gave up due to prior needed investment.

I'll might adopt that idea, which seems to be very useful.

Amir.
[Touch HD General] ugumba:
Sashimi can basically accomplish the same as UC/SDConfig.txt - it just provides a simple UI and conventions that makes setting it up so much easier. I did play with SDConfig.txt (and various tools to automate/ease its maintainability), but quickly found maintaining the file very time consuming and error prone, and practically impossible without using a PC. Sashimi you simply copy to your SD card, and you can run it right away (it won't do anything). Next step is to copy a CAB to Auto\CAB, then run Sashimi, and the CAB will be installed.

Ah well, I hope it proves useful to others!
[Touch HD General] babak:
I use it without any problem and flash my hd every day :D should use it correctly :

Overall performance of backups and restores are clearly within my expectations. My backups can range from 4-9 minutes and restores can take a little longer which is worth every minute for a disaster recovery plan. I have yet to try the FTP or TCP/IP backups so I cannot report on those features, but for “geeks-sake” I will look into these when time permits and report on my findings.

Two other interesting features of Sprite Backup are the Restore “Upgrade” (see Figure B PC console screen) feature and the Sprite Explorer tool. The Restore “Upgrade” features allows restoration of a backup to the same device with a different ROM (usually an upgraded ROM) or to a different device entirely. While this is an unpopular move by most device users, it is an interesting and perhaps useful function for those who do not wish to reinstall applications or data after a ROM or device change. The Sprite Explorer tool is reminiscent of Symantec’s Ghost Explorer tool. Sprite Explorer allows browsing of your Sprite Backup EXE files so that you can review the details of the backups and restore individual files to your PC. Sprite Explorer will also identify which version of Sprite Backup was used for the creation of the EXE file. When browsing a password protected EXE backup file, Sprite Explorer will prompt for the correct password before revealing the contents.

[Touch HD General] amir77a:
Thanks.

I made a fresh backup with Sprite, after a new fresh install.

When Dutty will launch his 1.9 ROM :) , I will try o upgrade with Sprite, otherwise I'll goto sashimi.

Amir.
[Touch HD General] The Whistler:
I liked the posting for its longeness... I really made me wanting to have a look at SASHIMI. :)

However, I am not much into MortScript, yet - would you mind to share your customization files?

I think it would be very helpful for me to have a starting point for my own work...

Thank you,

The Whistler
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
what about spbbackup2, easiest backup ever, and the files are self extractable so you don't even need to install spbbackup again to restore a rom.
[Touch HD General] do0fusz:
i like the tought of just installing the ONE app.

And when i flash, that this will restore my personal settings, games, and programmas.

going to read up on this!

still, thanxxx!!
[Touch HD General] imakul8:
All very helpful so nevermind the long windedness.:D I've been using Sashimi and I've managed to backup some apps to my satisfaction. I've have been trying to backup CorePlayer settings. I have backed up its regs keys. I have also backed up it's program files folder and reinstalled it manually with no success. What is the configuration file you are referring to that should be copied to SASHIMI\Auto\Root\Program Files\<app name>? Do you mean a file within program files or some other file?
[Touch HD General] Cheech1976:
SBPBackup backs up the complete registry, so this would be a problem if something has changed from one rom Version to another (as f.e. stated in the first post of the Energy rom´s thread), thus this program would not be ideal for restoring a backup after flashing to a different rom.

Restoring backup´s to the same rom version however, this is what sbpbackup is perfect for.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Agreed, SPB Backup should only be used emails, contacts etc.

A full backup should only be used if you are trying to restore rom i.e. if something happened to it. It shouldn't be used when swapping between different rom builds as the registry settings/paths would be different
[G1 Apps and Games] MoridinBG:
For those who doesn't know "My Tracks" allows you to create tracks with the GPS, showing various info - average speed, average moving speed, height differences, etc.

In the last several weeks I found it useful to track my snowboarding sessions - where I am riding, how fast, etc. The problem is that there is some really strange problem - in 8 out of 10 cases after I start recording a new track it turns out I have a top speed of 460km/h. I ride really fast, yeah, but that fast? :D

I was wondering what could be the case? For obvious reasons I can't observe the program while riding - one fall and the phone is gone :D

When I am on the lift I can observe it and everything is normal. I had the suspicion that falls could cause this, but today I had several quiet bad falls, during one recording and yet i t was accurate.

Has anyone observed such behavior?

I believe that no one should wait for downloads which are legal and waste 30 - 90 seconds of their time just waiting for a JavaScript to finish off. I think we need to share ways to bypass all this stuff.

Not at the moment, if you notice my signature, I took down the hosting a bit ago, it turns out the script I was using had a security hole in it and someone used it to hack my site, nice huh? I haven't had time to put anything new up.

Buuut....from what I was seeing, it didn't look like anyone was using it anyways, there was an issue with larger files that my web host didn't like. :-/

If there's enough interest I'll look into putting something up again, I just don't have it on my top priority list at the moment, if you or anyone wants a file hosted, I can still give ftp access, or upload it for you, no problem. Drop me a line: hostingat aximilation dotcom

Thankyou
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatredz:
did you turn-off your phone first?

again, turn-off the phone,

press and hold the down sound button,

I dont know if theres other way to enter bootloader mode in x1...

try to search...

or maybe you can try hardspl again.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okokur:
try two thinks please:

ONE:

turn of your pda by holding long time power on/off until a message comes and ask you "turning of?" (i write the short version).

than try bootlader-modus by 1. press volume down and hold 2. press power on/off and hold.

dont shocking by vibration - hold both buttons until bootloader comes.

TWO:

your pda is quite normal?

than you dont need make finger-gym. open X1_HardSPL.exe and wait two or three seconds. it extracts some files. one of this is "EnterBootloader.exe"

copy this with usb/activesync or flashcard to root of your pda. go with fileexplorer (pda) to root and klicki-micki and you straight fly to bootloader-mode.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinUK:
Love it!

But yes, make sure you done hardspl first. then power off phone then hold volume down and power do not let go of buttons until multicolour screen appears.

Tin.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeChan:
TBH you don't need to hardspl to get to the tri-color bootscreen, just to flash with custom roms.

And if nothing works, remove and reinsert the battery then hold power+volume-down key until it vibrates and let them go when the screen shows up.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbkkt1:
try taking the battery out first, then putting the battery back in. make sure that the phone is NOT connected via usb cable, or else it will automatically turn back on.

then use the power and lower volume key to enter bootloader mode.

Hi all, I just finished my new taskbar, I was using Carneros taskbar (which I really love) but was unhappy with the battery indicator, I found it really hard to read (getting a little old :)) ,so I decided to create a new one, as you can see it is heavily inspired by Carneros but with all new icons and some more color...If for some reason the icons are not all present, make sure you have sdkcerts installed, if it still doesn't work properly install Finixovers battery cab first then install taskbar. enjoy...:)

nir36, do you happen to know the impacts of installing this taskbar on a QVGA phone?

I tried it on my WING, and the icons actually work... But one of the ROM chefs who specializes in the Wing/Herald says he "thinks" but not certain that the VGA .dlls create some conflicts I guess with other windows files?

But I am not technical enough to diagnose this. I have experienced some slowdown problems with Ivan's "JustStable" rom for Wing, but it could be for any number of reasons and does not seem isolated to this.

Anyone know? If it works on my QVGA device, is it only sorta working, and conflicting with dlls?
