Now that I've had 1.12.25.19 and it's corresponding rilphone, I'm not so sure it had much of an impact on battery life afterall. It still sucks in general. When I get some time next week I'm gonna flash a new rom but keep this radio and see if that changes battery life. Right now it's plain abysmal; 1/3 of what it was before the radio flash.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cbreze:
Sheesh! I thought everybody charged everynight.It's my normal SOP. Why wouldn't cha wanna wake up with a fully charged phone?:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] yn2000:
Thanks Astronout

I will try it. I always keep charge when I using USB. so... no much testing on battery life.

Just as what you said, iGo8 is really good, much faster lock to the satellite and no delay like TOMTOM on my pro. and more functions than tomtom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mvp2020:
Works fantastic with IGo8 get a lock inside my house near a window within 15-20 secs.

Totally agree with OP!! Upgraded from 1.10.25.19 yesterday and installed Sh4y's rilphone.dll for 1.12.25.19 superb!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MRFERRARI23:
has anyone used this radio with sheps wm6.5 rom??? was just wondering so that way I can some feedback on how its working etc cause thats the rom im on! thanx:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
I have used it with that particular ROM a while back. As I recall it, the radio works on it as well as any other ROM I've used. Actually, the battery life did improved very nicely, and GPS locks appear to be be slightly faster. Also, data speeds appear to have also improved somewhat.

Actually, from my experience, the radio seems to work far better on almost all WM6.5 roms. The battery life is increased enormously, GPS works even better, and data speeds appear to be faster (this one is not concrete, however, as some WM6.5 ROMs seem to be slower).

Although, if these last 11 pages had taught me anything, it's that phones seem to be affected very differently despite it being the same device, so I can't say for sure whether you'll see an improvement.

Still, if you're thinking of switching to the radio, I would recommend it. If it doesn't work as well as you want, you can simply switch back to whatever you had before. Switching radios is pretty easy and quick anyway.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MRFERRARI23:
thanx 8525smart for ur help but....if i flash my radio to 1.14.25.05 or 1.12.25.19 do I need to do anything to get it to work properly or is the rom already patched?? what im asking basically is do I need to install Raphael Rilphone.dll or would just flashing the radio be well enough cause ive never flashed a radio an before I do, I want to know what exactly to do cause dont wanna deal with issues rather just get it right 1st time seriously thank you so much to whom ever can help me!!!!

p.s.- using sheps wm6.5 rom w/tf3d 2 if that helps :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
Hmm, no, not really. Once you finish flashing the radio, it's pretty much done. Unfortunately, I can't offer you any help on the 'rilphone.dll' issue. To be honest, I barely understand what it's used for.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Astronout:
Flashing only the radio *might* be sufficient, but assume it's not. As I said earlier in this thread, it is advised to install the corrosponding rilphone.dll.

It's really easy:

1. Go here

2. Download the .cab file that corrosponds to your radio version.

3. Install it on your device.

4. Soft reset.

5. Done!

Easy as that.

It is the communicating layer between the radio and WM. It is like a translator, if you like. WM speaks English and the Radio chip talks Scottish. Rilphone.dll acts as a translator. Language changes over time, so a translator needs to buy a new dictionary every now and then.

Nice metaphor :) I.e., a newer radio might interpret the commands sent by WM differently. Rilphone.dll makes sure they understand each other nicely.

Cheers
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
Oh, I see. So the rilphone.dll is simply meant to help Windows Mobile increased efficiency in its usage of the radio? Okay. Thank you for the explanation!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MRFERRARI23:
but does dling the corresponding rilphone.dll cab for which ever radio have a chance of messing up ya phone leading you to have to hard reset cause that not something i really want to chance!??
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Astronout:
This is XDA-Developers, I can't garantuee that anything here is without consequences.

However, it is highly unlikely that it will mess up your device. Please read the first 6 posts of the thread carefully to minimise the chance of messing up your TP.

I have been able to use the cabs provided multiple times without difficulties.

URGENT - Help needed with rilphone.dll

I tried installing the corresponding rilphone.dll file from this thread to my windows directory and did a soft boot. Now my phone will not turn the radio on - NO SERVICE. I tried restoring from a backup, also no luck. HELP PLEASE!!

Did a hard reset. Now up and running, I suppose with the old rilphone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MRFERRARI23:
I didnt have any probs. I flashed to the 1.14 radio, the newest one that was posted an then after dled the corresponding rilphone.dll cab an all is good! so idk!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Andre Koster:
Battery drain

I replaced my stock radio 1.2.25.19 with 1.12.25.19 (without replacing the rilphone though). It changed my GPS from totally useless to usable. I get a snappy lock outside, which stays when I go inside my apartement. So far so good.

However, at my office (and only there), my battery doesn't even last till lunchtime! Now, I am aware that my office has metallic foil at the windows to keep the sun out, so it probably counts as a place with bad coverage. Nevertheless, my phone shows 3 or 4 bars usually. I tried switching to GSM only to save energy, but helas, that doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

The only option I see for now is to put it on the charger when in my office. Otherwise, I'll have to flash yet another radio ROM. I have read that others in areas with ill coverage complained about accessive battery drain, too. Has anyone found an alternative radio version that leaves the GPS usable? I hate to give up my GPS now that I just got it to work... :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rvt1000:
not really just efficiency, but also access to services available....if you have a certain radio with the wrong rilphone, it is possible that certain services may not be picked up by the phone, such as call waiting, etc. so the rilphone opens up the available services based on the radio...most radios all have the same basic features (gps, call waiting, call forwarding, voice mail, etc) so often you can get away with the rilphone update...... for example, I used .19 for sometime with the .19 rilphone and had no issues.... and honestly, i'm not even sure the rilphone has affected anything for me on this radio.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
Similar thing has happened to me, about month ago. I've uninstalled 1.12.25.19 rilphone.cab (which should be safe according to everyone), and phone wasn't able to turn on after a soft reset... I've tried to restore earlier backup with Sprite Backup, but that was unsuccesful for some reason. It seems that messing with rilphone.dll can be pretty dangerous...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Andre Koster:
I solved my battery draining problem! :) Apparently, it was caused by not replacing the rilphone.dll . I had read somewhere else here that if the old rilphone worked, it was probably ok to keep using it, but apparently that's wrong. By installing the rilphone that came with the radio, a got decent battery life again (about 1.5 days).

are these GSM radios or CDMA?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
those appear as gsm only. if you look at the listing it says things like att or other countries like australia or for the unmarked phone. cdma is in america. they might work on your phone but i wouldnt try without knowing for sure. i guess this is a downside to having sprint or verizon.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mreevimus:
What rilphone.dll are you using for this radio?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mreevimus:
Alright i have found the correct rilphone.dll for the radio i am trying to test but I am having difficulties overwriting it. I am simply trying to paste it into the windows directory where the other one was. It says it can't something about may be right protected or in use. I tried putting my phone in flight mode thinking that it would not have the radio in use but still won't let me overwrite the rilphone.dll? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
There is a .cab for 1.12.25.19 rilphone in this thread, it's lot easier.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] YellowGTO:
Garbage for me :-(

Well tried it out and I get about same single, same internet and slower GPS lock times then the stock ATT radio. Philly, PA ATT
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mreevimus:
I am using it with RRE 6.5 ROM. It is working out good for me. It wasn't working so well until i got the proper rilphone.dll associated with it. I bought this phone used and had a BS radio not sure if that was stock radio or not. This one is working out better than the other radio. Thanks for the input though. I am AT&T in Frisco, Texas
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mreevimus:
Thanks i found the cab but found a guide that walked me through associating the new one with a rilphone2.dll name in the registry that appears to be working good.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gula187:
i just tried to flash this radio but it stopped at about 73% and said it had an image error i had to reflash a Rom:mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kempas:
I updated from 1.2.25.19 to 1.12.25.19 and the GPS does seem a little better, how do I know if I have the correct rilphone installed?

The radio package came with rilphone2.dll so I assumed the update would take that across automatically but not sure if it has - looking in my windows directoy I can see rilphone with a date of 01/08/08 so I assume this is the original. If so, how do I go about getting the correct rilphone across?

Also, as someone else said, different radios are more appropriate for different counties/areas etc.

Anyone recommend the best so far they've used in the UK (I'm on a T Mobile sim)...?

Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, looked it up. Was still using the original rilphone, got the cab'd version for 1.12.25.19 and installed that. Took backup copy of original just in case - can see from file sizes that I now have the rilphone2 file there in place.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kempas:
Okay, the GPS is working 100% better than before but I get the issue with TT7 not showing the satellites. Am using the updated version as mentione earlier in the thread. Did manage to get it to work though - try connecting via the Other NMEA option or even via the BT connection to the com port of the internal GPS (it'll still connect that way) - seems more a case of cycling the connection rather than a straight out refusal to work. Once it does sees the birds you can then switch the connection back to Internal GPS if you want and it'll still see them but if you exit out of TT and then restart it may not see them again.

Anyway, in the meantime I've taken a look at iGo8 and it's way better - far more stuff to play with - so just trialing them side by side for the time being.

Hi all, i need ur help. i have bt earphone (samsung wep410) but it doesn't plays music of incoming call, however sometimes it does! in BT settings i have lots of profiles such as a2dp, hsp, hfp etc.. what do i have to do to make my bt earphone to work with sound???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cjaiceman:
I am a bit confused about this, but here we go. I have a HTC TyTN II unbranded phone that will not charge without the headphone adapter in it. I have tried 3 different wall chargers, 2 USB cables to 2 different PC's and a car charger. I know all of them work because they charge my headset, which has a mini usb connector. When I have the headset adapter in the phone will charge off of all of the above chargers. I have looked around on the forums and the internet, but have not found a solution. The headphone adapter in question is this one:

http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/11A176A4401.htm

When the usb cable to the computers are plugged in as well the phone and computer do not recognize each other as being plugged in. I have hard reset the phone, let it sit over night without the battery in it, I have cleaned the contacts in the connector. What else is left to do?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cjaiceman:
Somebody? Anybody? I'm open to all suggestions to fix this issue.... :confused:
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
Here's something for you devs. How bout an app that can hide apps that are in the app drawer. (the tool bar at the bottom). Because right now if someone was to want to hold my phone they could get right into my email, pics, astro, bank account, market, anything! You know what I mean? if we had an app that puts those icons inside of it then that would be a good start. You could call it Drawer Mod or something like that.

Sure they could get to them from the application set up option, but thats not so easy to figure out. First someone could work on that, then they can work on a password lock feature for it or something. I'd pass my phone around more freely if I had a little more privacy than just the pattern lock. (that can be bypassed if you know how anyway). Is it a good idea?
[G1 Android Development] breaultm:
No. Either don't hand your phone out or use pattern lock. If I could use your phone I would dial long distance out of spite.
[G1 Android Development] ahddm:
I been looking for something like this but for a different reason Its cramped lol, I just want to be able to organize the apps in folders or something my games clutter everything. May add password protect to certain folders
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
Wow you're just awesome!!! :cool: Yeah you can sooo borrow my phone and call all the long distance you want. If you gotta call then call. lol I didn't think generosity could be misguided into hate like that. Go back to your cave hermit! What's your problem?

Now back on topic with civilized people.
[G1 Android Development] TonyHoyle:
Folders would be good.. it gets a bit cluttered in there.
[G1 Android Development] Craftkiller:
Hmm actually displaying folders might be difficult but as for hiding apps I think the easiest way would be to effectively move them to a hidden folder on the phone... using shell commands someone could accomplish this... consider these shell commands

Hide an app

mv /data/app/APPNAME.apk /hidden/

Run an app

mv /hidden/APPNAME.apk /data/app/
*figure out some command to run the apk*
*figure out how to wait for app to die*
mv /data/app/APPNAME.apk /hidden/

Make the icon of the app be a folder and the interface copied directly from the app drawer and it might actually act like a folder
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
Nice! So it's feasable. Now all we need is for someone to apply the info above into an easy to use app, or I learn how to be a pro with terminal commands. lol
[G1 Android Development] bobolon1219:
yeah i really need that app. in my rokr e6 there was a menu where you could pick different user setups Games:Office:and Custom you could put watever you wanted inthem

Second video, at about :45 seconds in. They show a tabbed app drawer. Wish they would release it as a market app.
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
That is a nice find! Now there's a visual. Would really make the phone less cluttered and more like a desktop. I wonder if its coming to the phone version of android. Anyone up for making a set up based on that?
[G1 Android Development] Dharkaron:
Based on the appearance of alternate home apps, some with multiple app drawers, Id say someone will do this eventually.
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
yea i dont know if its just me.. but i wish that there was more editing and revamping of the normal apps.... like browser/messaging/dialpad/contacts the default. I would like to download replacements for them... not steel/acontacts/chompsms (not saying they arent good cause I use the last two) But with Ahome replacing my home screen.. its not replacing it.. its on top of it. I think everything would work alot better if we just focus on editing the normal features instead of having like 20 differnt versions of contacts browsers and all that.

I hope im understood I sometimes have an issue typing my complicating thoughts.
[G1 Android Development] cavz903:
Me too! This is an app or mod that i have been waiting for. I've been using Advanced launcher with my dounut roms. But now with eclair, it wont run. Im not so much worried about adding folder to the app drawer, but more into hiding useless icons to clean things up a little bit. Do i really need 6 different icon pack icons? when they come up as needed anyways. whats the point in icons for apps that are primarily widgets? PLEASE! SOMEBODY! create an app or a mod that allows me to do this. I would pay for it!!!!
[G1 Android Development] smurf:
in case i loose my phone i bought App Protector:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-carrotapp-protectpronew-Attn.aspx

You can define apps which are password or lock pattern protected. This app has to be excluded from a task killer of course. I also protected market, root explorer and terminal.

There is another free app (ad supported) which does the same but only with a password. no lock patter (the lock pattern was the reason i bought app protector).

[G1 Android Development] Obama's>god:
I'm pretty sure about 6-8 months ago there was an alternative launcher on these forums that had app hiding as a feature. I think it was discontinued quite a while ago, but yeah not only is it possible, but someone's already done it.
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
more like 2 months ago...

nonsense cupcake rom has it for example. :D

called advanced launcher. but as stated above, its cupcake and donut only...

go ask anderwebs.

also wrong section :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Don't go ask AndersWeb, he's already on record about implementing it (in summary, "no", though offering a patch might convince him otherwise.)

And yeah, Advanced Launcher is much more than two months old. :) At least since August 2009 (when I showed up), probably earlier.

Vault

theres an app called "Vault" that hides the applications in your app drawer

you need root to use it though.

i use it to hide the sms app

then use handcent....so i can blacklist certain senders ......obviously i also have certain adult 3g apps hidden as well :D
[G1 Android Development] jewishjawsh:
advanced launcher is the only thing i can think of, too. works pretty well on donut roms, i just wish someone would port that functionality into a 2.1 rom.

the ADW/almostnexus launcher that most devs are throwing into their builds now has some of the same functions as advanced launcher (drag n drop uninstall, compressed columns/rows) but no app hiding, which is a real bummer.
[G1 Android Development] trukenx:
this was done almost a year ago

Download panda home app has had an option to hide the apps in your app drawer for almost a year. also to make customer slide out drawers in your homescreen. if i remember, long tap on the home screen then go into the drawer option, it works remarkable well actually.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
This actually isn't true. Home replacements are just that, they are separate from the original launcher or home. Alot of ROMs (for example Pays Rom) completely remove the original home and use Home++ Instead. If you have two different launchers think of it like having two different email clients, K-9 doesn't use any feature of Gmail. Much like Ahome doesn't use the original home/launcher. Not that this is referring to the OP but figured I'd let you know :)
[G1 Android Development] clonerep:
Better Vault

I've used 'Vault' and liked the idea but hated the execution. I've used Panda Home, DxTop, and Advanced Launcher to hide apps but I don't want to replace the stock drawer due to speed and reliability. Vault is just an app that stows your app but it actually prevents the app from working while its hidden. This is a feature or a nuisance depending on your intention. Regardless of your intention, apps that are unstowed are flung back into the vault, at will, and sometimes completely stop working outside of the vault.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
If you want to hide adult apps from your wife/kids that is one thing, but assuming this would give security is quite false. Anyone with even a basic knowledge of computers can use the terminal to see what you have in there. I know it is the first place I would look if I wanted to know what was in a system.
[G1 Android Development] fastludeh22:
so if thats what we want to do, how can we do it. im not affraid of some terminal commands.

how bout brut.all's apk tool? i havent used it yet, but sounds interesting. can i change something with that, that "tells" the app to not show up in the drawer? then can i launch said app from terminal? thanks
[G1 Android Development] r0man:
Not true for launchers, unless you actually REMOVE launcher.apk and replace it when another than the home replacement is just running like a normal app on top of it.
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
tag home launcher will hide it from the app drawer. but not hide from the market downloads.
[G1 Android Development] fazzieng:
I think it is essential for android users to have abilility of crating folders in app drawer so all that clustered apps can be arranged, categorized. The idea should be to move an actual app into folder and not just a shortcut. This way we could leave our home panels for widgets etc.. and have all apps nicely kept in folders in app drawer just under our thumb.
[G1 Android Development] Tom in AZ:
I use this app, and it works well to keep everyone out of places I do not want them to be in. Well worth the small price!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dahanist:
Hi,

I am wanting a very simple custom rom but I am not sure how to "cook" one.

I've read the tutorials, etc.. but I'm still very confused.

I will try to get a hang of it, so I can make a truly customied Rom, but in a mean while can someone be kind enough to make me a basic custom ROM?

All I need/want is a UK ROM (or any english based rom) with Korean fonts, Korean Keyboard, Korean Thumb keyboard, Powerdic (All theses are pre-included in SKTELCOM ROM).

Korean Thumb Keyboard is like the one in HTC devices where you can type letters with onscreen number pad (I believe it's called "SKY II" in the Korean ROM)

Basically, I need an English ROM with full Korean Support. (powerdic is a dictionary program included in Korean ROM)

I could install softwares to my X1 with English ROM to get a similar result, and I tried but the result wasn't perfect - I was not able to read at some conditions and not able to write sometimes as well)

Can anyone PLEASE be kind enough to make one for me?

I hope it won't take that long..

Thanks for looking.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Cheeze[iT]:
You should try to cook it yourself? Maybe instead, ask for like a "How To Cook Basic Rom" guide or something. Just like being able to take someones rom and maybe tweak it a bit to your own liking? Less hassle for them and puts more control into your own hands.
