[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
I am starting this thread because I have the impression that LZX produces smaller ROMs but they behave slower when mounted (everyday use)

I dunno if this is subjective, a personal appreciation, or is for real and LZX makes slower working systems...

I'd like to hear oppinions

Will upload two ROMs, absolutely identical, one compressed with stock XPR and the other one compressed with the newer LZX method, so everybody can test

Oppinions appreciated

SIZE

XPR ROM size: 97,350 MB nbh - 76,641 MB inside a RAR

LZX ROM size: 83,443 MB nbh - 75,386 MB inside a RAR

FIGURES

Storage - Program

XPR

361.14 - 206.50

22.96 - 53.15

338.18 - 153.35 (26%)

LZX

374.22 - 206.50

22.96 - 57.68

351.25 - 149.02 (28%)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Somehow I got the same feeling with ROMs using LZX, so most ROMs I cook for daily use I use XPR.

But will certainly try this, just to see if the feeling is right.:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Well from MY own experience, while LZX compression saves space it slows he device down quite a bit more, having to decompress every file as it loads it from the IMGFS partition. You basically have three way of "packing" a ROM... uncompressed, XPR and LZX (most smartphone roms are compressed this way). I've tried uncompressed, it's minimally faster (mainly, it loads huge apps like Opera a little quicker)... XPR being the best and LZX being the slowest :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
huh... at least I have learned I have not gone absolutely nuts by cooking and flashing continuously without sleeping :D

Glad to learn I am not the only one with that perception

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] grisha1:
How do I find out the compression mode used for the currently installed ROM?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:

mmmh... ask the cooker :D

(at least, if it is stock XPERIA, you know it is XPR)

How can i create an uncompressed ROM using Visual Kitchen 1.5? As far as i know the program uses XPR compression. You can choose LZX but i can't find an option for No Compression.

I have an unbranded Chinese P800 from eBay and would like to upgrade it to WM 6.0. What I have onboard :

1. WM 5.0 OS 5.1.525 (Build 15364.3.4.4)

2. Processor ARM926T OMAP730

However, one perculiar thing is that I can't find any Device Info on IPL, SPL, Radio ROM etc. I've tried using WST 4.2.2 but to no avail. I'm using my Lenovo S10 Netbook running XP and ASync 4.5. What I've managed to do are :

1. Run USPL, it goes from 0.. to 60.. and hangs, I reset my P800, USPL resumes to 70..100 and the RUU program starts,

2. the screen on my P800 turns dark with the Linux Penguin and some message of mapping, preloader etc comes on temporarily before Windows comes on again,

3. RUU runs, upgrading to image 9.99 (original image is blank-no info), when UPDATE ROM IMAGE ON YOUR PDA PHONE comes on it never gets to more than 0% (no blue progress bar), my P800 screen goes dark, loses connection and I get ERROR(260).:confused:

I have done this several times and there is no way I can verify if the CID is unlocked as I can't get the SPL info anywhere. So I will appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance.

Many thanks for your reply and pointing to the right direction. I'll get to it asap and post the outcome (success I hope!):D
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mouse.co.nr:
Hi Salimbs,

just another note,

in the past I found myself in big trouble (not with Himalaya as it was SD flashed) but with Charmer and Magician ROM updates, also with ROMs that I have already used in the past and classified as stable,

Roms used to get blocked during upgrade leaving me in Boot mode if I don't remember bad..

I have noticed that this error was common when Ms. Office applications like for sxample Word or Excel was turned on!

it makes like a kind of disturb to the rom!

once closed (all office and not necessary applications) roms updates smooth and bug free!

Don't remember if it was an Err 260 or not, I just remember that update blocked at a certain point...

try to do your upgrades with office turned off!

wish it will help to solve your problem:)

Hi mouse.co.nr,

Well noted and I'll keep this in mind. From your experience have you ever tried the SDHC.cab so that your phone can read the micro SDHC? I ran it in my phone and now my STORAGE CARD is gone!:mad: Anyway, thanks again. Cheers!:)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mouse.co.nr:
Not SDHC my friend but Artemis SDHC,

I don't know what is exactly the difference, maybe one is for big SD and the other is for MicroSD, anyway I've tried the one for artemis and now I'm working with a 8 GB micro sd, and it can go till 16 GB.

I've tried that with other artemis ROM versions and works very good...

For your problem have a look at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=345038;

and download the programs indicated below...

What I advice you to do is the following:

1) remove your SDHC card (it have a sort of bad luck with any upgrade that needs a reboot) :p

2) copy SDHC_Artemis_back2original.cab to your documents folder (PPC documents obviously) then run it, soft reset.

3) then copy the correct SD HC for artemis "SDHC-Artemis.cab ", in the same way of the above and run it.

this shuld work :) "I wish for you"

let me know..

how about the ROM update? did you succeed at the end?

have you also updated also GSM radio ROM? generally original roms come with a 2.11.... version, old and not always good in reception!

I advice to change it in 03.18.90 shall work well also with your provider, for GSM signal WIFI, GPRS and GPS.. :)

Hi Mouse,

Thanks to you my STORAGE CARD problem is solved!:D However with regards to my ROM update I'm still a little confused.I've managed to patch the artemis_jumpSPL_pof_v1.nb using Kermit the Frog(jumpSPL.exe). After that I run the RUU again but I still get the same result-0%:confused:Can you tell me how or show me the relevant threads?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mouse.co.nr:
Hello Salimbs,

Kermit sounds funny but it's the first time I don't know how does it work!!:)

try the ufficial SPL unlocker for artemis, nothing more,

download from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311403

* Connect your PPC through Active Sync (connection shall be established),

* Run start_uspl.exe from the Artemis_USPL package in the link above,

* Run till it reachs 100% and Dos Window turns off alone, and launches RUU upgrade interface..yes, yes, continue, continue.... 100%

* After device shall have SPL 1.11 and so you can load new ROMs :D

let me know if it will solve the problem..

Hi mouse,

Actually "Kermit the Frog" is the icon for JumpSPL.exe.:D Anyway, like I've mentioned in my first post everything seems OK except that I can't check for the SPL and when the RUU runs it never gets to more than 0% and then I lose connection and get ERROR 260. I'll be trying again and let you know of the outcome. Once again, thank you, I really appreciate your help!;)

Well, just had to look at returning my 3rd TP2 to Amazon as they have all had issues from faulty GPS to the last one having Dead Pixels.

Just thought I'd let you guys know that they have said it is a faulty batch they have received from HTC and have asked me to send my 3rd back for a full refund.

They won't be offering a replacement as they are sending the whole lot back to HTC and waiting confirmation of a new batch arriving.

Just thought I'd let you guys know in case anyone else is having issues.

shocked to hear that as they are quite good. well most of them as i did have a run in with a bad one! no one has complained of any issues with the phones rec'd from them. mine has been awesome and would reccommend them to anyone. Clove has had a few bad ones as well. its just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. there are good and bad in everything!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
Totally agree.

One thing I will mention in the 3 phones I had. One of the batteries lasted twice as long as the other two. Strange I thought, but I did have the 3 phones running side by side with same usage etc over the course of a week. I got 3-4 days out of the good battery, 1-2 out of the other two.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brynweb:
Come to think of it, in my haste to grab one, I never even checked about warranty. I assume MPD honour a 12 month warranty, or can you deal with HTC direct?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xxnoelziexx:
MPD are very poor. My unit screen wobbled and was uneven. Pictures are in the wobbly screen thread. Will not be using them again customer service is non existent. Only thing going for them is the deals. If you get a good phone from them well done but I wouldn't take any chances again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chrissybear:
I key faulty

I got mine from MPD and the I key on the QWERTY keypad gave up on me. Luckily it was only 7 days old so I got a new replacement, which so far seems fine. Its IMEI was way above the number fo the first one though...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andrewrees:
Because the issue I had happened randomly after the 7 day period they refused to replace the device, and insisted I sent it to Regeneris or whatever they're called.

These however do not deal with HTC devices apparently, and today have forwarded it on to HTC anyway, but seem confident I'll get the phone back quickly.. :)

What frustrated me about MPD though was them refusing to help in anyway over the phone and insisted I emailed them. This would be fine if it didn't take a day to respond, when you just want to get the phone away to have it sorted!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aerotec:
I wonder if my MPD sourced TP2 is part of a bad batch? I will post elsewhere but have problems where it keeps losing the internet connection and pops up the "Cannot connect for an unknown reason" window.

It is on T-Mob and I have set up a new data connection with the details from the T-Mob website but the problem persists. Sometimes I can "OK" the message and it will then connect. Other times I have to cycle the phone radio before it will connect.

SIM worked fine in my Tytm II. Any suggestions or is it a duff radio??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] beast0898:
Could be a couple of reasons........

What is your signal strength like ?

Is it jumping between G and H ?

Use the autoconfig app to configure web settings, but make sure to disable the proxy settings after config.

Kaiser would of had a stronger signal reception than the Rhodium too.

Hi all

I was looking for the way to backup my game data because I like to test others ROMS or if I must to do a wipe and don't loose my game data. I founded looking at the directories that in /data/data is the solution.

Important: You've to use the same profile you used before.

1) Backup the game data

* adb remount

* adb pull /data/data/au.com.phil.abduction/databases/data data

You'll see the file data in the directory tools of your Androi's SDK.

2) Restore the game data

* Install the game again and run it. Create your profile, the same profile you used before.

* Put the file "data" in your tools directory

* adb remount

* adb push data /data/data/au.com.phil.abduction/databases/data

* Run the game and play it.

I've tested it and retested, it works.

Hi Guys,

I'm having a little problem that appears to be getting worse and worse.... I've tried quite a couple of different builds for my G1 (Dev phone with Vodafone sim) and ever since i started changing builds i started to get regular hangups during phone-calls. In the beginning this would happen once every couple of days but by now its become so frequent that the phone is basically useless as a phone; i cant get any call to last longer than 30 to 40 seconds (sometimes even as short as 10 secs). Note: When i install the SIM in an old Nokia i can make calls for ages without any issue...

What happens is basically the same as what would happen if you would press the disconnect button yourself; The screen just tells me the call has ended and there's no strange errors of hangups or whatever.

Does anybody have any idea on how to locate where this problem is coming from, or even better, how to fix this so i can call people with my phone like its supposed to?

Im currently running the following:
