[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sophos1:
Hi all,

I've been trying to convince NFSFAN to make a US cellular version of his awesome ROM. He said he would do it if there were at least three users interested. So far I just have myself and johnficca interested. Please go to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=432487 to view the ROM and ask NFSFAN to make a US Cellular version.

P.S. Please be polite, respectful and grateful in your posts. NFSFAN is busy and does a lot for this and other communities.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slochild:
I don't understand - I have a US Cellular HTC Touch Pro2 and the GPS and WiFi are both working fine right out of the box. My guess is that you either have them turned off (although I don't remember seeing an option to turn the GPS off), or you have faulty hardware.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
You are answering in the wrong forum. You have a TP2 and this section is for the HTC Touch (aka Vogue).
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
I just recently acquired a HTC Touch Dual and really like it but am having a few issues with it. First, I get tskschedule, repllog, and clocknot notification errors. I've noticed a few threads regarding this issue but haven't yet found a solution so any suggestions would be most appreciated. The second problem is that my battery indicator doesn't seem to be working properly, it stays at 90% and doesn't change regardless of how long I use it for. This caused the phone to die on me in the middle of a conversation. So if anyone has an idea on how to fix either of these two issues, that'd be great.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
I bought the device used and unlocked off of eBay, will hard-resetting it keep it unlocked? Also, I'm very much a noob to phones and don't have any clue about flashing roms, what are they exactly and how do I do it? Thanks for the quick reply.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
im from the us, so my native language is english. do you have any suggestions or links for the better flashing tools? after flashing to my original rom, my phone will stay unlocked right? because it doesn't it'll create more problems for me then i am having right now. thanks again
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
thanks buddy, i'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
do i have to use a sspl before a hardspl? i have a neon and havent yet found a sspl for it yet. how dangerous is it to use a hardspl? im very new at this so thats why i have so many questions. thanks again
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Lordsmiff:
I think we need to clear up a couple of things and kind of slow down before you brick your phone :)

Generally, there are 3 types of locking for these phones.

First, there is SIM locking that everyone is familiar with and locks your phone for use on only one network.

Secondly, we have CID locking - which locks the software\firmware on your phone to that supplied by a particular carrier (for example, if your phone is CID locked to AT&T, you can only flash a ROM from AT&T and not HTC or a custom ROM).

Lastly, and least to be concerned about, is Application locking. I've not heard of any of the touch duals being app locked so we can safely ignore this.

I'm guessing that you meant your phone is sim unlocked in which case, I'm 99.9% sure that none of the ROMs that you can flash will change that.

If yours still has the carrier ROM on it, it is most likely still CID locked so you need to get that off first.

Once that's done, you need to HARD SPL installed (the SPL is the bootloader bit, SSPL is just a "software" version of it that can run but doesn't install anything) If you put HARD SPL on, then it is almost impossible to brick and ruin your phone - but until that is on, don't try flashing custom ROMs or radios etc. as you're asking for trouble.

Also, until you have HARD SPL on, be careful about flashing anything - make sure you don't run apps while it's going and shutdown anything that could interfere. Take basic precautions and you should be fine.

But TBH, if you're new to these phones anyway, and the ROM is right for your carrier, I'd leave it as standard - I personally always find something wrong with the cooked ROMs - missing T9 dictionaries \ SMS not working \ MMS not working \ some other detail that was missed, and I always end up going back to either my stock ROM (T-Mob UK WM6) or the HTC Update (WM6.1) but I don't notice the difference if I'm honest.

People say that whatever ROM they have on is the fastest they've ever tried but in my experience (and I'm on my fifth or sixth generation of WM phone) the difference is marginal at best and certainly not worth the trade off of broken features and multiple reboots.

So, my advice is, by all means, have a mess with other ROMs but be careful, get HARD SPL and make sure you have a ROM to go back to.

Oh, and try a hard reset (or Clear Storage from control panel) after syncing everything up to try and fix your current problems :)

Cheers,

Smiffy.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
i was thinking about trying a hard reset prior to flashing a rom. i cant download a rom from htc and am unable to find one from att (my carrier) so as of now, i dont have a rom to fall back on. i bought the phone used and unlocked, so will a hard reset keep it that way (basically, what will a hard reset do exactly)? i am referring to a sim-unlocked state. the centennial wireless splash screen still shows up so im guessing it is still cid locked? do i need to unlock the cid before hard-resetting it? thanks for the help
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Lordsmiff:
The hard reset basically wipes and user-related info and returns it to a factory-fresh state - if one ever starts playing up, this is what should be done before you flash a new ROM, and yes, it will still be SIM-unlocked afterwards. It will alos go through the setup routine again as if you just took it out of the box :)

There are other places to get the HTC rom from - it's actually quite a good one too as it will set up all the data\MMS settings for your carrier too.

If you're not worried about any warranty, then it's good as a fallback :) though search on here and see what results other people have with AT&T.

CID unlocking is fairly easy if I remember - been a while since I did it and I have a different model than you. Just make sure anything you use is listed as OK for a neon :)

HTH,

Smiffy.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
so i did a hard reset, and there hasn't been a change in the battery issues. so maybe the battery is faulty? would flashing a different rom help or should i just get a new one? thanks again
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] nagi603:
If the ROM is at fault, then flashing a better ROM would help, yes. If the battery the faulty, then even a ROM that is much more energy efficient would help little, only delaying the inevitable.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
how would i know if the the problem is from the rom or the battery? other than trying a new battery that is
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
aight, so i got the hardspl for the neon. will that cid unlock my phone cause i cant find a cid unlocker for the neon 300. what would happen if i didn't cid unlock my phone before flashing a new rom?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] spone1:
Nothing would happen. Either it refuses to flash on beforehand, or it'd stop at about 1% from the start not touching your existing rom.

Hardspl is indeed the way to cid unlock your phone, as far as I know.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
Please Help!

new problem here, my new battery just arrived a couple of days ago. i inserted it in my phone then let it charge before turning it on. my previous problem was that with old battery, the amber light would start blinking but not remain steady and tell me that my battery was very low then eventually turn off. the new battery's amber light was solid and i left it plugged in for 10ish hours because the light never turned green. i finally turned it on, but eventually the same problem arose. i hard-spled it then flashed a new rom which helped for a little while. the light stayed steady and the battery status rose up until 100%, but the light stayed amber. then if there was any shift in pressure on the chord, the light would start blinking and the battery would immediately read 5%. now the new battery isn't any different from the old one. does anyone have a suggestion? it would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] formosanman:
Anybody? Help? At the very least would anyone have suggestions of good repair sites? Thanks in advance

[General Questions and Answers] mr.jaguar:
what is geocaching, and how can that have a positive effect on our GPS?
[General Questions and Answers] count0zero:
Geocaching

Geocaching is like a global treasure hunt where you use your GPS to find hidden containers. Inside the containers will be items people have left which you can trade for and usually a notebook to leave the record of you visiting the cache.

It has no effect on your GPS but you can download GPS software to list and locate these caches. I've thought about trying it myself.

try visiting geocaching.com
[General Questions and Answers] josefcrist:
I actually went this weekend with my kaiser and bluetooth gps. i use beeline gps software. anyway from this weekends experience i found out that the phone is not really what you want to use for geocacheing; the distance to the way point jumps around a ton, i am not really sure if that has to do with the actual gps (telenav bluetooth)or the software that i am useing. eather way i was able to find one geocache out of 2.
[General Questions and Answers] count0zero:
Not too accurate then?
[General Questions and Answers] josefcrist:
not sure what was the problem. the waypoint was just jumping around though.
[General Questions and Answers] mr.jaguar:
hmm, maybe I'll give it a shot.. not sure I'll have a lot of time to do this, I've got a wife n kid and we just bought a house, so I have large honeydo list.
[General Questions and Answers] k9tim:
I haven't done too well geocaching with my Kaiser or Raphael.

I gave up using them and stick with my Garmins...
[General Questions and Answers] tldawg:
My brother does the Geocaching thing. If I remember correctly, he has to use WAAS mode (http://www8.garmin.com/aboutGPS/waas.html) on his Garmin in order to gain enough accuracy to make it worthwhile. not sure which phones support WAAS GPS, though.
[G1 Android Development] kllngtme:
simply put, i cant find my sd to micro sd adapter card so i can get a direct connect to the sd card and perform the partition, can this be done using paragon partition manager through the usb connection through the phone? will it or is there a way for the program to distinguish the sd card from the phones memory in order for me to partition correctly?
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
i am going to assume that paragon partitioner works similar to patition editor in ubuntu. i partition mine through the USB just fine, i have a drop down menu with the names of each device and the amount of space overall on said device. it should work just fine
[G1 Android Development] n1gh7m4r3:
yep used the demo version to partition and format the fat32/ext2 partitions over the usb connection, since the card reader on the pc i was useing wouldn't recognize my sd card
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Actually this is recommended because some users (myself included) when trying to use a microsd card adapter would have issues. Don't ask me why but although it would correctly format the partition, the phone just would not recognize the new ext2 partition. However when I used my phone as the adapter (sorta speak) it was a first time go.

Good luck and remember to read the instructions carefully.
[G1 Android Development] mariod1269:
i just partitioned mine via usb cable today. i used paragon partition manager.

it probably goes without saying, but make sure you reboot after setting it up to run apps from the sd card.

i didn't reboot and any app i tried to run said "application not installed". after the reboot everything worked perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] Joeriginal:
Can I please have a step by step on how to use Paragon to partition my sdcard, I have tried and tried and cant get it done can some one help please.
[G1 Android Development] Joeriginal:
I keep partitioning my card but when I go to the busybox df -h to check it it only shows the fat partition and not the linux.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
is it mounted to /system/sd?
[G1 Android Development] Joeriginal:
forgive my ignorance but how do I find/do that

[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

The fat 32 has to be made 1st and the ext2 2nd.

Both must be primary.

I just used my phone via usb connection and partitioned my 8gb class6 sd card.

worked perfect. Paragon Partition Personal Trial version.

Sd Card type

I think I have a type 2 sd card and was hoping to run my apps from my g1 phone. Can I still do that with the type 2? or is it required to have a type 6?

[XPERIA X1 General] theredundant:
liking all icons cept the signal gprs/h/3g thinggy... dont fancy the globe
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
I know, I breaks the scheme somehow...

but most of the time it is covered by the signal bars

I need to find a silver globe, would fit better
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
nice! much better than your Q series imho, keep the icon simple, too much details, you will lose it on a 3.2" screen.

I look forward for your completion of the X series!
[XPERIA X1 General] syzyec:
WOW, it is so cool! I like it!
[XPERIA X1 General] nente002:
Thanks! I'm like this!:)
[XPERIA X1 General] AvinashDhaniraj:
Nice but the 3g and battery icon don't change and appear as the normal default look
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Yes they do appear: look at my screen capture

If they don't appear for you, is because you have your registry settings changed to phcanOverbmp.DLL; maybe a previous taskbar was not properly uninstalled and the tweaked reg settings were kept

This taskbar is 100% based on Xperia X1 (Kovsky) system files

The Xperia X1 handles the battery and signal icons thru shellres.192.DLL, NOT phcanOverbmp.DLL, which is nearly empty on the Xperia: contains the phone canvas (skin) only

Other HTC phones use phcanOverbmp.dll for battery and signal, thus, most taskbars CAB installers include registry changes to re-direct battery and signal to phcanOverbmp.DLL

I can solve this by adding the original (standard) Xperia X1 phcanOverbmp.dll to the package, but even that wouldn't override your altered system settings
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
wow they looks very cool... you steal my idea :D

this is another waiting cursor, just in case ;)

bouncing with white bg (bg is original bg of standard wm animation)
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
WHOAAA looking good :eek:

I'll test how it blends with the "X" icons (Start menu SE logo is currently blue)
[XPERIA X1 General] darthmelk:
It's much nicer than the previous ones, but I still don't like that globe. Just keep it simple to allow us to see the bars and type of connection, the globe is useless and doesn't belong here. Even greyed out, I don't think it will look good.

Also, maybe it would look better to use the same gray color for the battery until it is less than 40% (a little yellow exclamation mark can apper over the battery then) and below 20% (a red exclamation mark over the battery, or whatever sign you see fit). That way it will be less distracting.

Just my thoughts, I like the icons to be as simple as possible and not very colorful unless they really need to make you aware of something. You could make the notification icons red (missed call, task etc.).

Hope you get some good ideas.
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
Oh I do very much like these ones! I'll probably be using them on a regular basis once they're finalised.

Don't lose the bluetooth ""headphones" audio icon. People go "WOW!" when they see that one. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] bknewtype:
very nice, but it seems incomplete, liek some icons are missing for me, as stated with a previous tester. but its still nice nothenless. let me know when it coems out of beta, =]
[XPERIA X1 General] FrezoreR:
I like most of the icons and it's nice to have some xperia-looking icons.

Although my opinion is that the one with the earth globe has to go :P it does not fit and looks well not good :P

also some of the icons seem to have something weird with the outline in the corners. The corners of the rounded square.

I can make a metal globe for you to fit the theme :) Or atleast try
[XPERIA X1 General] FrezoreR:
my globe!

So I tried making a globe, took a few minutes :) and was quite fun..

If ppl like it I can continue adding what I have left out, reception indicator and data indicator.

:)
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Ok

The white background one is ok, but I don't see how it's different to the other white background bouncing one?

Personally I prefer the one made bysomeone else here that I included in my start/waiting SE mod that I attached in gtrabs other icon thread.

The black embossed style background that tightly hugs the waiting cursor certainly looks more like it belongs.

Along with a regedit of my "folder background" to a dark gray, everything looks much slicker.
[XPERIA X1 General] c_legaspi:
gtrab,

i liked your 1.5 icon cab set. in this version, when data connection is not on, the antenae and the bars is showing and when the data connection is on, a red h pops up with the bars. can you modify or make changes that instead of a red h with the bars showing up, the globe pops with the bars up in place of the red h.

keep up the good work.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Wow, I love it

I'll PM you, you can certainly do what I can't and help me to finish

You got the idea dude
