[HTC Excalibur] jacsonmoore3:
maybe dis is a newbie question,but is it anyway to get more memory on the "main memory" of a Excalibur?
[HTC Excalibur] CyberTod:
Only if you use ROM with less programs included by default.
[HTC Excalibur] Ghost of Jaco:
Perhaps you mean, "with fewer apps that load on startup"? Just having more apps present on the phone would eat up storage space, but not necessarily main memory (RAM).

The big problem with memory management, to me, is that (stupidly) very few apps or utilities have an "Exit" button/proccess to shut down the app and free the memory it was consuming when the user is finished with that app. That would be ideal.

Lacking that, there should be a one-button method to accomplish "end task/process" for whichever app is running in the foreground, that is, on-screen, at the time the button is pushed. Having to execute Task Manager or CeleTask to accomplish this is hugely inefficient from a user's perspective.

JMO, your mileage may vary.

There is such an app, is called smarttoolkit.Its on the task options. RC08 is the stable version for the dash. It gives you an xp/vista interface . http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=479307&highlight=smarttoolkit
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
smarttoolkit is a memory hog and a memory leak, one set of problems is not worth 10 more. Celetask works perfectly fine for ending those pesky open programs.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Have to disagree yes it uses some RAM but for all the functionality it brings in user friendlyness, i wouldn't have an sp without it, but would agree that l huck up a <- "shortcut" for celetask as a system program group rather than using right softkey.

Hi,

When I use the voice command "play something" I get a "No album information available" message even though my windows media player library lists all my songs. What should I do?

Thanks

Say "play media" instead. And were is your media saved.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew any plain-text editors for WM6 that allow you to save files as html, xhtml, css etc. I'm a web designer and I code my sites on the PC usually using Notepad++, I was wondering if there was anything similar that I could use on my Fuze to this effect.

Thanks :)

[XPERIA X1 General] elee888:
Hi everyone,

For some reason when I load IE or Opera, it won't let me connect to websites. Opera tells me that the remote server refuses to perform the request. But for some reason, all my other stuff like Youtube app, weather updates, etc. can still work. I'm on AT&T with my iphone 3G sim card. I tried deleting the MediaNet settings on the xperia and tried using connection wizard to setup again, but no go.

Please help, otherwise I'm gonna have to do a hard reset.. :(
[XPERIA X1 General] foxcheng:
try use the wifi first? then switch back to sim 3G :)
[XPERIA X1 General] George Knighton:
There are multiple issues using an AT&T SIM card that was set up to use with the iPhone.

Before you can move on to other issues and items, you need to let AT&T know that you no longer have an iPhone.

Then you need to face that decision whether or not to admit that the IMEI you give them is a pocket PC. :-)
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
Is there a way to stop opera 9.5 beta from reverting to the default on screen keyboard whenever i want to type? Its really time consuming to change back to the one i always use
[XPERIA X1 General] elee888:
Update: Well I tried using wi-fi and turning it off to go to 3G, but that was a no-go. Funny thing is this happened before too when I left wi-fi on, but not connected to any network. As for the iphone plan, I know one issue is I won't be able to receive MMS, but as for data connection, its setup on the xperia to use MediaNet. It just doesn't make sense that all the programs on the xperia can connect to the internet via 3G (including email), except the 2 browsers. Am I missing something else here?
[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
This sort of happens to me. But ny version is when ever i try to use the browsers (I select a favorite page for example) the browser will attempt to go to the page. But instead of opening the page the browser simply shuts itself down and the experia returns to the panel page. No errors given.

I found that I have to manually clear the browser cache (soft reset no worky for this) then the browsers go back to working properly.

There is a setting some where I am to dumb to find that controls this.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] esonoi:
i wrote two applications that provide screen rotations in different scenarios.

the first one (rotexec) rotates the screen in a particularly orientation and executes an application, then restores the orientation on exit.

the second one (devomon) polls the accelerometer and updates the screen orientation.

i know there are already applications out there that handle these tasks, but the ones i found all ran on the .net vm.

my goal here was to minimize the memory footprint, something not possible with managed languages.

for devomon.. with 4 filtered applications, it consumes about 52 KB of heap space.

the new version of devomon (with a gui):

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LCOWUDF4

rotexec and devomon w/o a gui (don't use it):

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DL58WVU4

project is hosted at SourceForge.. i haven't committed the newer changes though.

----

rotexec is intended for use with shortcuts, although if you use it more than once you might have a hard time distinguishing when all have the same damn icon.

the command-line format is...:

rotexec <direction>|<full_path_to_exe>[|<args]
<direction> indicates the side the top of the window touches and can be either N, S, E, or W

you can quote the individual items (i.e., "N" vs. N), but not the entire string.

* the orientation is set for the duration of the program, regardless of whether or not it owns the foreground window.

example shortcut:

88#"\Storage Card\rotexec.exe" W|\Storage Card\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe

----

devomon reads the output of the accelerometer using htcsensorsdk.dll.

* the screen orientation is changed for all applications except those in the filter list.

* if the keyboard is out, no orientation changes are made.

* filters cannot be persisted at this time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] esonoi:
devomon now has a gui.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] qtipextra:
I'd just like to say a TON of thanks to this program. It works GREAT. I use it for Remote Desktop. I always want it rotated portrait, without the keyboard open, and now it does!

In addition, I would like to add a recommendation for modifying the shortcut icons. This app that I have attached is called Shortcut Creator, and it allows you to pull up any shortcut, and specify an icon from any .EXE on the device!
[Touch 3G General] Shadez:
Just got my Jade in the mail today, and so far am loving, aside from two problems I've been having

Firstly, while I can get my internet working in Mobile IE, and can sync my phone with exchange, Youtube and Opera don't detect the presence of an active connection

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Most of you have noticed that my ROMs require flashing through the SD card. I've given out the instructions many times, but they tend to be lost in the shuffle that is day to day posting so here is a whole thread dedicated to it:

1. Format your SD card to FAT32.

2. Place HERAIMG.nbh into your SD card.

3. Hold the camera button then press the soft reset button while holding the camera button.

4. Press the down volume when it asks you to press something.

If this doesn't work, it means either:

1. Your SD card isn't fast enough. You can try partitioning the SD card so that it only has a small amount of space formatted. This can be read faster by the bootloader.

2. You don't have a HERAIMG.nbh file in your SD card.

3. Your HERAIMG.nbh was made with a small number in the "version" number.

4. Your SD is a SDHC. The driver that allows SDHC compatibility is not loaded in the bootloader. Buy a cheap little 1GB card to flash with.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] pungcheer:
That's mean IPL & SPL right?

I read about WM6.1 in this forum require IPL or SPL morethan 4.xxx

But my Herald (Dopod C800) IPL&SPL 1.09.0001

Can you give any advice How can I do for upgrade to WM6.1

Thank you

Newbie from Thailand
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
No, when making the NBH you have the option of setting a version number.

In order to flash any third party ROM you need an IPL and SPL of 4.xx and to HardSPL your phone (HardSPL requires an SPL of 4.xx)

To upgrade your SPL and IPL you can try upgrading your phone with it's most updated stock RUU (Some, like HTC bring the upgrade) or you can try the GoldCard method. (Search for the word "Goldcard".)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ghostnj:
how can i do this i have a herald 4350 or well the t-wing and i doesn't want to connect to my computer well it connects but 3 seconds later it disconnects i don't know what going on and i been trying to update to another rom. thanks for any help.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Just follow the directions I just posted. They should work just fine.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] papajohn:
Hi Ivan,

Just to let you know though, there must be some kind of problem. I followed the instructions and flashed through my SD the nbh (os+radio) numerous times but after the flash my Herlad always failed to boot. The flash was successful, I got a message "press any key to continue" from the bootloader and after a softreset the screen was always black with no signs of booting.

Also, just to let you know, the program that opens the htcrt.proj file fails to register and I always had to /right click/open with and then manually select the os and radio files to create the nbh.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
If it fails to boot, it means that the ROM you created has something wrong in it, not that the flashing process has something wrong in it.

As far as the proj file, if you have windows Vista, it may have not set the permissions properly.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jantunes:
Hi.

I'm fairly new to this and I'm trying to flash a JustMe ROM. I have built both a XPR and a LZX but none of them worked. I just follow your intructions and I get to a screen with gradients of Red, Green, Blue and a white bar in the background and IPL 4.17.0001 and SPL 4.17.0000. From what I understood, something should happen now, right? Well, it doesn't.

What may be the problem?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
You should not see the gradients right away.

If you followed the steps exactly, and your NBH has a version number of 5.2.xxxxx or higher: Then your SD card might not be fast enough or it might be a SDHC which won't work.

How big is your SD card?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jantunes:
It's a 2GB Silicon Power MicroSD. How do I check the version of my NBH?

Also, the NBH is not the only file I have in my card. Do I have to format it or if it is already in FAT32 (which it is) I don't need to?

btw, a message saying something like "Checking SD card" (something like that, couldn't see it right) appears before the gradients but only for 1/4 of second or something.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
When you CREATE the NBH, it says the version. What number does it say there?

That's fine.

The reason I mention it is because SD cards come preformatted as FAT16.

That's where the flashing is done. If you only see it for 1/4 second, it means:

1. You didn't follow the directions (FAT32 and version number)

2. The SD card is too slow.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jantunes:
The NBH version is 5.19588.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Make it 5.2.19588.

Did you format the card to FAT32?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jantunes:
It was already formated. I'll try with this version number.

EDIT: Didn't work. I'll format the card.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
The card was already formatted to FAT32? Not FAT16?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jantunes:
Yes. It was FAT32 but I reformated it anyway. It now loaded but gave me an "Invalid Certificate" error.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
So the formatting was still an issue. Weird. Ok, so now it's reading it but it's not validating the certificate. Have you HardSPL'ed?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jantunes:
No, as I don't even know what that is. So far I have only needed the Flash Center application to flash the ROMs.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
The Flash Center only works through inserting the code through Windows Mobile. Since my ROMs are flashed outside of Windows Mobile, therefore, it requires a HardSPL'd phone. HardSPL is better than the Flash Center since it protects the SPL and IPL from being overridden in a bad flash or when you accidently use a ROM that isn't meant for your phone. But, the HardSPL can be dangerous is you don't follow the install process properly as it can brick your phone.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jantunes:
Hum, ok. I'm quite intuitive in understanding how to hack devices so don't worry as I'll probably not brick my phone. I'll search for HardSPL and when I'm done I'll post the results.

Thanks for all the help and for your (I imagine) great ROMs.

EDIT: HardSPL'd my phone and everything is working great. Very fast ROM, I may say. Not as good-looking as the Open Touch Project I was using, but sometimes functionality is better than style.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I'm all about speed, functionality and features others don't have. Most of the time, I just do basic stuff when it comes to looks. Usually, I get annoyed by the flashy stuff when it starts to slow me down. Although, I'm thinking of releasing a ROM based on PointUI2.0 made to look nice... and functional.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jantunes:
That would be awesome. Can't wait for it ;)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] moSess:
By the way...

This method also works for flashing the radio. Just rename the file HERAIMG:)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Let's you flash anything. Radio, splash screen, ROM, etc.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
If I have an 8g MicroSD card, what size should I partition it for .nbh file usage?

I know I've read it somewhere, but not finding it in first 15 entries in Search... thank you.

I may as well also ask the super-newb question: what app/util do I use to partition my microSD card?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Just big enough for the ROM is good. Hopefully, it will work since it sounds like you have a SDHC.

I just use a memory card reader and use Gparted in ubuntu (or you can use windows's disk management as long as you set the sd drive to "performance" instead of "safe removal" within the device manager.

If you don't have a memory card reader, install WM5torage and use that to turn your phone into a memory card reader for the PC.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
1. WM5torage is ONLY needed if you don't have a card reader. That is it's ONLY use, to emulate a card reader.

2. The smaller the better as it fools the SPL into thinking the card is faster by going through the whole partition table faster (and it has a better opportunity to find the nbh file.) I'm not sure if you should partition the rest of the card, though. Probably will have to flash first, then reformat it back to normal. The only thing I'm worried about that I don't know about is whether or not the SPL can read microSDHC cards, like what you have. If it can't, I wonder...

There is a flasher that was made for linux that may or may not have the same limitations as the windows flasher does (which is why I don't use it and flash through the sd instead.) I'm gonna try to install it and try to flash using it and see if it will let me. If it does, then anyone with access to a debian based linux might not have to worry about using a non-sdhc SD card from here on.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I didn't realize you had another card.

Other than that, if you use Windows XP:

Go to the control panel, choose administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management (local), and you will see all the partitions within your card, including unpartitioned space. You can then delete the partition and partition the whole thing as one big partition.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I forgot to mention one step. In order for you to be able to use the Windows XP Disk Management tool, you have to enable "Optimize for Performance" from within the device manager first.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Kernel Jag:
Hi Ivan!

I'm flashing your JustStableMicrov2 build 5 ROM. After the down-volume phase, I see the gradient which stays there. Am I not supposed to see the % progress here??

Kinda stuck here :-(

Power cycling the phone or soft-resetting it boots into the existing ROM..

Any idea what's going on?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
There is no progress bar until it actually starts flashing. It has to buffer the ROM first. Please be patient. You might partially brick it if you stop it while it's flashing.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
Kernel --- Ivan's the pro. But I'm one of the users who has tried flashing from an SD card -- and so I am experienced in the other direction: with all the things that can go wrong in trying to do this.

So let me ask a few questions to be sure you have progressed to the right step properly:

(1) what is the size of your SD card? And is it all one volume, or have you partitioned it?

(2) After you pressed the camera button and inserted the stylus to soft-reset, I am guessing you waited a second or two, then removed the stylus, but still kept pressing the camera button -- right? (this is correct)

(3) The moment you release the camera button, what do you see displayed on-screen?

(4) I ask these things because sometimes, when I did things wrong, I ended up going to the tri-color screen -- and it did nothing, like you were saying. But in those cases, I had not actually pressed that volume control down fast enough to begin the process correctly. The reason for that is my SD card was not an acceptable size for this process to work.

(5) Later, when I used an SD card that was workable, after I pressed the camera button and held the soft-reset, then released the soft-reset while holding camera button, then released the camera button, a white screen said ity was reading the contents of the SD card. Then I got the instruction to press the volume control button down. (you see the countdown number in the bottom left of the screen)

(6) After I did that, the screen stayed white, but a super-fast progress-bar just zips across the bottom status bar. And the screen stays white.

This was the screen where I just had to then wait perhaps 7-10 minutes for the next action. (Ivan explained that during this process information is buffering and takes a long while -- longer than it does when flashing from your PC using the Rom Update Utility.)

(7) Eventually, the process will complete --- and then the screen jumps to the tri-color screen. At this point there is no indication that the process is now completed, but if the sequencer occurs as I have described it above, when you get the tri-color screen, the flashing is now over. The next thing to do is to Soft-Reset the phone.

My main point is this: if you are not seeing that white screen for about 7-10 minutes before seeing the tri-color screen, something is not right.

Please report back here. good luck.

I too was stuck on the tri color screen not know what to do next (step 7) and after reading this i soft reset and the phone restarted loading the rom i wanted installed

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
This isn't meant to fix phones but to install small ROMs.

I don't know why your phone is stuck at the HTC screen. If you reflashed it and it's still stuck at the HTC screen, give me a few minutes. When you first flash, it always takes a few minutes to boot. If nothing happens, you might have not flashed the new ROM well.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] knopfe:
ive flashed it with the goldcard methode...it worked...and after flashing it stuck in the HTC screen...

i can reflash it with the heradiag on sd card, but after this it stucked in HTC screen...

ive give it a few minutes (2hours)...but nothing happend...

so here are the right details:

IPL 5.04.0001

SPL 5.04.0000

GSM 02.79.90

if i try to flash it over usb, under GSM stands OS 5.4.0.0

and now???

I found this thread to be extremely useful but I do have a question. When I use the HERAIMG.nbh file it works fine. Im using a 1 gb card cause the only other card I have is an 8gb which I would prefer not to touch. When I try to do this same exact steps with ruu_signed.nbh (JustHome) goes straight to the tr-color screen. I thought it might be the file so i tried OTP v7.7 Manilla 2D Biggy.nbh but same results.

BTW: Im not a newbie. I was on Touch-it for a long time but sold the phone and forgot my info from this site. I got back my phone this week and trying to learn to ride the bike again. Any help is appreciated.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
You have to rename the file to HERAIMG.nbh for it to work.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Miep Miep Zoeffff:
Hi !

My P4350 is stuck in the tricolour screen and doesn't do anything moren :-(

Do I put the HERAIMG.nbh in RAR or do I have to unpack it first?

Best regards,

Stefan
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Being stuck at the tricolor just means that either you had a bad flash or you broke your SPL. As long as you were already HardSPL, you're fine. If your SPL was lower than 4, then you broke your SPL and you need to create a goldcard to fix it.

And the file has to be HERAIMG.nbh, not HERAIMG.nbh.rar.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Miep Miep Zoeffff:
HI !! Thanx for you quick reply.

SPL was and still is 4.10.0000

Which RUU do you use and where can I download it.??
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
That means that you are not HardSPL'd.

You have to flash the RUU that is made for your phone. If you have an HTC branded phone, you have to download it from them.
