So now that VZW has released a new "rom" for the phone, does anyone have any idea's on how to enable the actual GPS chip? I have found that only aGPS is being used and doesn't lock me to my exact location to where I am....Google Maps always tells me my location is within 1100meters, or approximately a mile away...not too accurate. If somehow someone could build a rom like many have done on the omnia i910, I would pay some money....Anyone have any idea's on how to start with WM6.5 on the phone or even a way to get rid of all this bloatware on the device? Thanks!

CAUTION!!!!

If you plan to download and install this update be aware that IT WILL LOCK your phone, even if you had unlocked it with WM6.1. THis has been confirmed with SamSung as well as Verizon.:(

[General Questions and Answers] GeoDiverLewis:
Open Google Maps...Tap <Menu>...Select <Use GPS>. A small status bar should appear in the upper right of the screen stating, "Seeking GPS satellites (0)"...(0) being the number of satellites aquired.

You may need to go outside for the GPS to be able to aquire satellites. Aquiring sats can take several minutes. Once it aquires at least 3 satellites, it should move your location to an accurate position. My is dead on! try viewing "satellite view" under the menu. Zoom in. Again, mine is absolutely dead on.

I've got a Saga here with the newer CE07 ROM (and yes, the update did re-lock the SIM slot). ROMExtractor.exe is giving the error: "ROMExtractor.exe is not a valid Win32 application." I'm using an updated XP PC. I've tried downloading it two different ways and unzipping it two different ways, but same result. Any ideas?

Are there any other ways of unlocking the SIM after update, besides calling VZ support? I'm using Samsung Saga on PagePlus, hence can't call verizon anymore. Thanks.

I am beginning the process of documenting all things HTC Rose, rather than pointing to how other utilities & processes work for other phones and SHOULD work for this one. Everything I post here will be Rose-Specific, and I hope it helps. I am using the most extreme environment, including Windows 7 as the host PC, WM 6.1 on the phone...all other OSs should be cakewalk if my stuff all works. Coming very shortly (this weekend) will be:

- App Unlocking

- Entering Bootloader Mode

- Working with Windows 7 & WMDC (6.1 vs. what comes with Win7)

- Known ROM Images & FYIs

- Dumping a ROM for backup purposes

- Reloading a dumped ROM for restore purposes

- Tweaking your ROM for personal use only
[S740, S743 ROM Development] baliles:
How to enter Bootloader Mode (Tri-Colour)

- Turn off your HTC S740/S743 (either by removing battery or turning off)

- Hold down the VOLUME UP button (keep it held down)

- Turn on the phone using normal POWER button (no need to hold the power button...just a normal push and release)

- Phone will enter Tri-Colour/Bootloader Mode

example: my HTC S740, purchased as non-US phone, shipped with WWE Asian ROM (Hong Kong) via Expansys shows the following:

- ROSE 100

- SPL-1.54.0000

- MicroP-Rose (LED) v10

- MicroP-Rose (KEY) v5

- PCBID 0x80

- RID 0x0
[S740, S743 ROM Development] baliles:
WMDC and Windows 7 Pre-Release

By default, Windows 7 will ship with an integrated version of Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC). The challenge most people have with getting this to work with their phone is this "not really WMDC 6.1, not a fully-finished Win7-WMDC" version. To get around this, keep in mind there are two primary scenarios when connecting a device to Windows:

1) Connect WM device to WMDC for the purpose of "syncing stuff" (aka USB Connected)

2) Connect WM device to WMDC for the purpose of low-level tasks (aka USB Unchecked)

*NOTE: the easiest, fastest and most accurate way to get all of this to work on Windows 7 is to do the "remove WMDC" steps in #1 below, and instead of working with your existing phone, simply do a Clear Storage, let the phone reset, and plug it in with a fresh WMDC. This just simply works, but I know not everyone is willing to reset the device....

To achieve #1, I suggest the following:

- Go to Add/Remove Programs and Uninstall WMDC (application AND Driver Update)

- From an administrative-cmd line, execute

reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\Disabled Sessions /va /f

- Go in Device Manager and remove any reference to a mobile device or RNDIS adapter. Reboot.

- On your device go to SETTINGS, then to CONNECTIONS, then the USB TO PC icon. Make sure the ENABLE ADVANCED NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY is UNCHECKED

- Manually delete the contents of the C:\Windows\WindowsMobile folder

- Delete the contents of the following Registry Keys:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners
​

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Portable Devices\Devices​

- Using Windows Explorer, delete all files in the folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles

- Reboot your Win7 PC, ensuring the phone is NOT CONNECTED during reboot

- Install WMDC 6.1 from the Microsoft Download site (this ensures you are running WMDC 6.1 ON Win7 vs. Win7WMDC on Win7)

- Reboot your phone

- Open WMDC 6.1 on your PC

(Optionally....just do a Clear Storage on your phone a listed in the NOTE above to ENSURE this works simplest...if you have the option)

- Plug your phone in via USB, preferrable to a USB port NOT used prior....if possible

- Windows should reinstall your device drivers without failing and WMDC should connect ok this time

To achive #2, I suggest the following:

- Perform the steps in #1 first, to get WMDC installed properly

- Open WMDC & disable ALLOW USB CONNECTIONS

- Turn off your device

- Enter Bootloader Mode using VOLUME-UP + POWER ON

- Win7 should detect and install the additional drivers for NON-USB mode (separate from the standard sync device drivers WMDC normally requires)

I think I need to rephrase the question as some more digging has established that ActiveSync indeed does not allow you to change the location for the backup directory.

The question then is:

What is the consensus for the best 3rd party SW? Some posts on the net were recommending Easy Sync; any comments?

Thanks again

-------------------------------------------------

Hello here !

I wonder if I am missing something but the SW won't allow me to change the location on the desktop of the backup directory for file synchronization.

That is, I can change it through the Registry, but only within "My Documents".

Does this mean I have to switch off the sync for "Files" and do it manually?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Due to the impossibility to download apps from Android Market for thoses who are running Haykuro G build, I suggest to post here some "must have" apps in order for us to continue to live without the market for some days/weeks :)

Personally, I'd need AKNotepad, ASTRO, AndFTP, Android VNC, Meebo.

Can someone post the latest version of theses apps here?

I've already tried to find them elsewhere but it was always old versions.

As these apps are free I do not think it breaks the T&Cs of this forum

Thanks in advance

i need meebo, i will post all my APks soon.

That's a great idea but I believe haykuro found a work around. He posted earlier that he was able to download 10 market apps. without troubles. He said the weekly update will be later tonight may be morning (basically said he had to work until 10pm). Don't stop on that account though, we need a better, more up-to-date thread for .apk s

Here is a background creator for manila version 2 and 3. I looked into getting it to work with stock roms such as 1.14 and I couldn't get it to overwrite the files on my device.

You can load any image into it and it will auto stretch the image and retain high resolution. You can add a watermark to a photo with drop shadow and/or glow, to give you a chance to add your own touch to an image.

This was implemented with the help of chainfire's cfc console app.

Anyways enjoy!

Instructions: DO NOT USE MaxTTM unless you want a black line in your BG

Run M3dBackground.exe

click on select file and select an image (it will auto stretch it to full screen)

add text if desired, and hit generate previews to confirm it is what you want. then hit save images and select a folder to save to.

the cfc process takes a good while, so be patient.

shut down manila. (start -> settings (all settings) -> today (under personal tab) -> items tab -> uncheck TouchFLO 3D

find the 4 files that end with manila that were created in the directory you selected, and copy them to your windows directory on your phone.

restart manila. (start -> settings (all settings) -> today (under personal tab) -> items tab -> check TouchFLO 3D

Done!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Oh boy :D Very nice work! I don't know if you saw it, but someone made a similar application after my presentation of the wallpaper issues in that post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=503511

The principle is the same, but with a few differences - namely, that app uses separate source images for the landscape and portrait, but the sizes have to be exact as the output (480x696 and 800x403).

Perhaps you could team up with Maranello and see if you two can cook up something to solve the fact that these work only with new Manila, and not the v1 stock Manila.

And also, there is still an issue of how to workaround the fact that the images seem to be 1 pixel misaligned (not your fault, Manila is the problem). I think ChainFire (author of CFC) knows something about what's causing this and how to solve it.

In any case, this is very nice contribution and I thank you for the effort!

I'm glad some of you are getting this to work properly.

PM Me with your rom version and the results of whether or not it worked properly for you. I will integrate a database into the program for users to select which rom version they are running so that the files are named properly.

I am also writing my own algorithms to write the files in manila's useable format which should greatly increase the speed thanks to .NET's GDI+. that will take a few weeks due to my lack of spare time.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] darkhalf520:
Ok this morn I spent like 2 hours on this but then i was able to do it !!

seems to me the problem with my manila (Tmob Rhodium) is not the naming (It was the same) but rather the files themselves (diff file size!!), so copied the files and with cfc i exchanged the png in them with the ones created in the HDwall app "the other thread for Bg for manilaV3"

And it worked !!

So I dunno if this will be of any help ....but these are the files if any wishes to test or for bcrisp to develope a compatile app !

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Hi bcrisp82,

I just flashed Dutty's V2.9 and tried your tool here. For portrait it works great! But for landscape, the home screen looks like this (pic below) but the rest of the tabs look great in landscape!

Any thoughts as to how I can fix the home screen landscape background?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bcrisp82:
not sure what caused the home landscape thing, it worked perfect on my dutty's 2.9. I'm guessing something else affected it? did you try a soft reset?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bcrisp82:
I noticed that also when I first made a background. It isn't doing it on my device now but i've loaded a bunch of transparency related cabs on it, it may have been some sort of background overlay? I'll let you know when I find out.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
No, it's not your fault, don't worry.

It is in fact one of many problems caused by Manila. For some bizare reason, the portrait image is about 20% darker then the landscape image. My assumption is that:

1) the Manila sets the files to be slightly transparent

2) or there is a 3rd semi-transparent black bitmap layed over the whole portrait image surface

I solved this by slightly increasing brightness for portrait image in Photoshop, so in the end it would look almost same as the landscape.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bcrisp82:
i can throw in an option for +20% alpha (brightness) on portrait.. if you want to test it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sallcho:
what is the portrait and landscape image width/height? that shows on the screen?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] darkhalf520:
no align issues mean no black pixels ??
