Hi all,

I'm trying to install a .cab of TomTom. If i click on the file on the phone, the installer launches, however, nothing happens for the next 10 minutes.

Any suggestions, how I can solve/ debug the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Caroline

Hey Caro!

I had the same problem. But after a restart the programm runs like hell :confused:

Try to start it!

like I said, I have searched, but cannot find a definitive answer.

is it possible to backup SMS if I am hard resetting, or adding a new ROM?

thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 General] richard.ian.brown:

Hi guys

I have a non-branded HTC Magic (Switzerland) and I'd like to load it with the latest (Hero-) ROM. Now, which one is the right for my device? I am very confused... there are so many threads with ROMs in it.

my device says following in fast boot mode:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] t-jet:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MrPatol:
Should it work also for Swiss Orange branded HTM Magic ?

Current system

build 2.16.401.6 146733 cl 34732

firmware 1.5

kernel 2.6.27-dd63d1eb

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kyoshiro:
does that include the perfected SPL bootloaders?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
Yeahp, here it is!

It does exactly what the name implies. Importing this provXML using Advanced Config will obliterate the panels and replace the panelbutton's original function with the taskmanager.

It's currently still an XML, because for some reason I can't get it to work through a CAB - yet. If anyone can help me with that, PM me!

So, for those that want to erase the panels from your device - use this.

At this time, it will only remove the basic files and all registry keys (except the one that controls the panelbutton). Any other installed panels will have to be removed separately, which is optional, as they won't be used anymore.

Enjoy!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] poetryrocksalot:
I was looking for this like 3 months ago, and now that I finally start using panels, you give this to me? What the heck!?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] kinnyfaifai:
There's always been instructions on other threads as to how to delete panelmanager and re-assign the button. Just needed to look a bit harder. :p

I still have panelmanager installed in the hope something better will come along that makes it worth keeping.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
Heh, I've long forsaken that hope. Rather not have it run in the background all the time.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Gilg@mesh:
doesn't work , after importing the xml file and soft reset, then remove the panelmanger through sktools registry, then softreset, then pressing the button, nothing happens..
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
That's because you used SKtools afterwards. What exactly do you expect it to do?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Gilg@mesh:
what should I use to remove the panelmanger, because when I press the button it says something like panelmanger can't be found .....
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
This

.

(Hell, what else would I make this for!?)
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] rotastrain:
i didnt kill panel manager cause i like to move my optical joystick flick between them..but otherwise this is nice.works perfectly.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Gilg@mesh:
hehe yes I know, I have already done that, but when pressing the x-button nothing happens, no taskmanger, I was trying to tell u that, sry.. ^^
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
Yeah, that's because you uninstalled it through SKtools afterwards. That also deletes the registry key that controls the panelbutton. This XML first deletes everything, and then rebuilds that key and maps it to the taskmgr.

Run this XML again and it'll work.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] ratchetnclank:
You killed the fish panel :(
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] loccochat:
nook question ?!

Hi!

I suppose it is a noob question but I will ask anyway: How can I run an XML file?

Thanx loc
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] loccochat:
Found the answer myself: Use "Dot Fred's task manager"

and the script does not work completely on non english system...

I added a remove block for the "panels" directory since there is no manager I think there is no need for it:

<!-- And the Panels folder itself -->

<characteristic type="%CE1%\Panels" translation="install">
<characteristic type="RemoveDir" />
</characteristic>

Don't know if you can remove the folder without removing all entries first. If not the block gets more complicated (btw I removed the folder manually)...

and here are some changes I made to make it run for german systems:

<!-- And linking the panelbutton to the taskmanager -->

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="ApplicationName" datatype="string" value="[COLOR="Red"]\..[/COLOR]\Programme\FdcSoft\TaskMgr\TaskMgr.exe"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

When browsing the registry I found a few more panel entries mayde these should be removed, too. I was not sure if it is wise to remove them, so I left them in place...

reards loc
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
And the rest of 'em, too! RAWR!

Aye, Advanced Config is another way.

About your additions. The reason I didn't manually remove any panels is because there's no way to tell which ones people have installed. And you guessed it, it's not possible to remove a folder without removing the individual files (as you can see if you dissect my XML).

So, if people are willing to give me a full list of what the filepaths for each panel are, I'll add destroying the panels itself. If not, manual it is! It's just storage space (few mb) anyway.

Oh, and yeah, you can safely remove everything, except for the one registry key I make.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] joecruz:
mmm...are there any benefits from this aside from just having the panels removed? I mean, more RAM (obviously more storage because it removes files), faster device, etc?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] 31073:
I ran the xml and pressing the panel button gives me "PanelManager.exe not found!!! Please install PanelManager or check the registry string"

i've edited HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager to the task manager and also to Showcase task manager, i still receive the same error.

EDIT: nm i didn't realize i needed a \..\ before the path.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Finstergestalt:
Don't works for me @ WinMobile 6.5 23017...

Any one here has it working on 6.5?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
Actually, I recently upgraded to WM6.5. I'm now looking into the possibilities of improving this to work more thorough.

The script did still work for me on WM6.5 though, what application did you use to import the xml?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Finstergestalt:
I'd imported it with Advanced Config Tool. It removed the Panelmanager, but i have the message "Panelmanager not found" on Start-Up the X1 and when pressing the Panel-Button.

Maybe it don't work with German ROMs?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
Oh yeah. I noticed the same thing, it has to do with the new panelmanager. There must be a dummy panelmanager.exe file as well. Still figuring out what the best way to deal with this is.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Finstergestalt:
I'll be watching this thread. :)

Sure you'll find a solution
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
I'm not, but at least I'm trying! xD

Cabinets are a ***** if you can't use setup dll's. I'm just not proficient enough to make those. Xmls are possible, but it turns out that they won't run easily within a cab either. If I find a way to use the XML from within the cab, I can fix this.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] nhvoltagenh:
i can make a cab for you just tell me what goes where

[General Topics] Dogmann:
Hi all,

Well i bought my TG01 today from Orange and it should arrive tomorrow just a word of advice to anyone considering buying one ignore the stupid tariffs it shows and choose the Tariff you want and then add the phone to it. I then called Orange as wanted to add it to my existing account and not go through all the information they wanted for a new account. Also on checkout my plan Racoon 45 wasn't showing the included Orange Sat Nav or Mobile Internet Data pack which i found worrying. But the very helpful guy in customer service sorted this all out for me. Anyway here is the deal i got which is about the same as for a i8910HD from Orange and much better than the N97 with VodaFone would cost.

Racoon 45 18 month Contract

1.200 minutes 500 texts, Unlimited UK Land line calls.

Inclusive Orange Sat Nav

500Mb anytime Mobile Internet

Free itemised billing and dedicated customer service line

All this for £39.14pm with £5 on line discount as opposed to £44.04pm and the Toshiba TG01 is free . I'm happy with that especially as with Orange in just 6 months with best plan i can reduce my per month spend to something that suits my use better especially as most of my calls are incoming and there is no way I'll use all those minutes and don't text at all. If i follow the same use as my Bold it should come down to just under £25 still with the Mobile Internet pack saving me a further £169.68.

Marc
[General Topics] Dreddge:
This makes me sick! This phone in the US would be AT LEAST $250 with a 24 month contract. I will purchasing this phone when it is available, and I don't even wanna think about how much I will pay for it. Im hoping to get one under $600, but I doubt it.

Some US sites have it on a "Presale" for $800 which is amazing seeing as how I don't even think the cash price has been announced yet.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] madderdog:
Hello all,

Newbie here. Just got an orange simlocked touch dual. It is on win mobile 6 pro. If I upgrade it to win mobile 6.1 or higher will it remove the simlock or will I still have to do the super CID thing?

Cheers
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] randomelements:
No, you'll have to remove the sim lock manually (see the sticky threads)

Before you flash a new ROM install HardSPL to protect against a bad flash so you don't brick your phone.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] madderdog:
Thanks

I have done the cid unlock thing and all went well. I was wanting to update windows 6 to a newer version. Microsoft site says 6.1 is latest version and I cann't download from HTC site as my s/n won't let me.

Can i get a newer version from somewhere gratis? what is the best version? What is the 6.5 version if ms site only claims 6.1?

Palm’s new next generation operating system, Palm webOS, takes the power of Windows Mobile and combines it with the simplicity of a web browser. Palm has just privately prereleased the Mojo SDK, which is based on the HTML5 and JavaScript standards that most web developers are already familiar with.

Mojo allows users to build applications complete with gesture-based navigation, transitions and scrolling as well as use the notification system to alert users without interrupting what they are dong. Users can also leverage local storage capabilities of HTML5 so that data is available even when users are in offline mode. Developers can also use JSON-based messages to tap into a wide range of device services including location, contacts and calendars.

An Eclipse-based IDE is included in the SDK that gives users a choice of tools used to build webOS applications. Currently the Mojo SDK is in a private release and will be made available later this year for free from the Palm Developer network.

Hi,

does anyone have any suggestion about a good,reliable (and possibly,but not necessarily,free:rolleyes:) Full Backup Application working on Topaz? I've tried several of them (SPB,Sprite,SKtools..) and my hands shake each time I have to restore because it's not always working :mad:

Thanks to everyone helping:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] privateman:
Well, I guess most people will consider spb Backup as reliable and essential. And probably Sprite Backup next. You should try to solve your problems with spb or Sprite Software. If these programs don't help with your device then others won't either.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] prdic:
I used Sprite backup about two weeks ago after hard reset and it worked well. I've got back everything what I want, included installed software, contacts, settings etc.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] sualc:
Sprite Backup 6.5.4 rocks, thank you all
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Mr Anderson:
My experience is that SPB backup and Sprite are the best of a bad job - neither is rock solid reliable with restoring, but more often than not SPB will get me up and running again.

Resco backup is another possibility - it is a superb utility in PalmOS, but the WM implementation was extremly unreliable and buggy for me.

[G1 General] johnnie93:
do you know how windows vista can use external memory and make it into additional RAM? well can the G1 be programed to take memory from the SD-Card and turn it into more RAM?? I know that it might not work but its worth a check!:)

[G1 General] wellsie:
I believe you're thinking of Swap - check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531988
[G1 General] robblue2x:
Also don't forget using your SD card as swap partition will thrash it and could shorten the life of your SD card due to alot of writes.

If you really want to do this look for a program called 'swapper'.
[G1 General] johnnie93:
oh ok thanks for the heads up !
[G1 General] jashsu:
This is pretty much the function the swap file provides. There is a differentiation on a desktop because on a desktop files are stored on a hdd, whereas a portable device usually uses flash as its storage and swap.
[G1 General] robblue2x:
And just to clarify, Vista readyboost is completely different to RAM or swap partitions.

Flash memory is limited to a certain number of writes, it is a very large number so in normal use you will probably never hit it. Reading however will not affect the lifetime of your flash memory.

Hard drives do not have any such limits.

Readyboost uses an SD/USB memory card/stick as a cache to quickly load frequently used files, this is because it's generally faster to read from flash memory than from the hard disk. Readyboost DOES NOT write very often, this is why it is suitable for use with flash memory.

Swap/Paging/Virtual memory is completely different, it is an area on a disk, a file on windows or a seperate partition on linux, where the operating system can dump some of the data that is in RAM if it runs out of space. If you have low RAM or are using high memory applications this will do alot of reading AND writing, therefore will reduce the lifetime of your flash memory. This is why swap partitions are normally on hard disks.

Hope this helps explain it!
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Sure they do. Just considerably longer. Also, hard disks, for quite a long time now, have been capable of dynamically remapping around worn out sections and come with a decent chunk of unused space that is used for remapping. Hard disks also suffer from gradual demagnetization -- over time, the differing magnetic fields on the platter will interact with each other, causing data loss. You can generally expect a finite life time of any hard disk before large sections of the platter become unusable. I have noticed this particularly to be the case with winvista, which by default likes to catalog and recatalog your disk (they say for fast searching), but the end result is writing and rewriting of the same small portion of the disk, which causes it to wear out VERY quickly, though leaving the balance of the disk perfectly functional.
[G1 General] SyXbiT:
there might be a way to physically remove (with a soldering iron) the 192MB ram chip, and solder on a 288MB ram chip like those on the newer HTC phones.

I really want more RAM, but I also want a keyboard. and with Android, you can't have both right now
[G1 General] R3nrut:
That would be an impressive waste of time and energy but kudos if you could manage that. Best bet would be to buy the Hero when it comes out and get a bluetooth keyboard. ;)
[G1 General] blackeyedbrian:
Does hero even work on tmob 3g in the US? Looks like its geared for at&t.

I'd say replace the memory chip if you can and report back!:D
[G1 General] SyXbiT:
I would definitely try it (I'm an Electrical Engineer, and solder at work all the time)

But i'd rather buy a 288MB chip from somewhere, rather than rip it from a different device.

I don't wanna throw away money.

if someone knows a supplier for those chips let me know and I'll try it and post screenshots
[G1 General] axion68:
The last 2 smartphones I have owned there has been a discussion on upgrading the memory with huge threads and a few people trying. The end result has always been it is by far cheaper to get a new phone in another year which will have a faster processor, more memory, more storage etc...

Sure it can be done but with how fast technology changes it probably isn't worth it.
[G1 General] johnnie93:
So is HTC HERO worth buying for more RAM and speed??
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Only if the HTC Magic also is, because they're exactly the same except for the shape of the plastic.

I wouldn't give up the keyboard.
[G1 General] dwang:
the htc magic isn't exactly the same. Some htc magic models (like google ion and tmobile mytouch) only have 192megs of RAM.
[G1 General] sonikamd:
My understanding is that apps are limitted to 16mb of ram anyway. The real problem is the data rate of the ram. Some have hinted that a class 6 sd card is just as fast at read/write as the phone's ram. So more ram in theory won't really help if it's still limmited by read/write rate speed. More internal memory would be nice but again won't make the phone any faster, just help with our 'out of room for apps issue'.

Perhaps on the hero motherboard buss speeds themselves are faster but I doubt there's much we could to speed up the dream :/ someone please correct me if I'm wrong tho..
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You are probably confusing internal FLASH with RAM. A class 6 uSD card is NOWHERE NEAR the speed of the ram. The RAM is orders of magnitude faster.
[G1 General] NeoBlade:
Reminds me of the days when people soldered on extra RAM on the XBOX1 to increase performance when using XBOX Media Center!

I thought there was a technical manual out for the G1 somewhere that listed parts... Not just the service manual which showed you how to open the device for repair. Could be worth running a decent google search for the motherboard and parts and then find a supplier for the RAM if you're game in trying to solder more on.

Thanks to the flexibility of Android as well, I'm pretty sure it would be able to read and make use of the extra RAM too.
[G1 General] Deathwish238:
