[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
always....... That statement is just riddiculess.

My experience is that there are only a handfull roms that are actually better than the stock rom. MOst of the other roms that don't make it in my oppinion do have other things to offer, but are often: slow, Fast but very buggy.

Yes there are homemade roms that are better, but surely not all. Also, the stock rom delivered by HTC's new phones are all very good, so it's hard to make one that's a lot better. (TOUCH pro 2 has a very fast rom when you look at it's processing power)

When the TP2 officially isn't windows 7 capable, it will be hard to get the same functionallity and speed out of it as the other phones that are "officialy capable"

NOt saying it isn't possible, because there are some good chefs here, but it just is hard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Yeah

Of course not all cooked ROM´s are better, actually only a few selected ones But that few ones are much more impresive than the official ones, that´s the ones I was refering to.

I have tested several ROM´s since 2006 and believe me I have never stayed with any official version....

Anyway just my opinion.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ai4281:
WinMo 7 might have a multi-touch capable capacitive screen though. Either way, I'm gonna get the Pro2. That device is too beautiful to pass up :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] josiah7:
Haha, dang you're killing me, I keep telling my self to pass up the touch pro 2 ans wait for the 1st HTC device that will run WM7! AGHH!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thazeid:
Okay so i bought a Chinese HTC Diamond in China.

It looks exactly like the original one and the only difference is that it doesnt have WIFI and some other features like the camera has worse quality (2mp).

I tried using my T-Mobile (USA) Sim Card but the phone isn't connecting to the network. This phone is Triband (900/1800/1900) and works in GSM, GPRS and EDGE networks.

It is technically "unlocked" but i'm not really sure.

Anyone know what could be the problem?

Should I update the ROM to quadband to solve this?

Thank you in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ericlin0122:
r u sure that one is not a fake diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thazeid:
It is a fake diamond.... but a high quality copy, it works exactly like the original one. It was really cheap compared to it's features.

I'm just asking how can i make it work in the USA? It is triband and it should work with my tmobile sim card.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ericlin0122:
Usually what the spec says does not mean it actually has them, often total BS.

Don't expect too much, get a real diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thazeid:
Yeah okay, if you're all gonna say that you're not helping me.

What it's done, it's done.

I can't afford a real diamond so i got this one really cheap and its actually a really good phone. And i checked the radio and it says "GSM 900/1800" and "PCS1900" so it has to be minimum dual-band, and i believe T-Mobile should work with it.

So if anyone knows about any update for this phone that could get it to work, please tell me. For now i will just check if it works with AT&T sim card or other carriers.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] D'rath:
I don't thinks update with some ROM is possible ;) It's not a Diamond but a simil-Diamond!!!

D'rath
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thazeid:
I can always try, if i unlocked the 850 gsm band it would work with in the US.

The problem could be that it is only dual band (Europe) instead of triband?

So ill just call tmobile today and see what happens.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hinbun:
It is a fake Diamond, the LCD only is QVGA!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lebron0000:
what a fake...

Well, I'm a Chinese,and I'm using a HTC Touch Diamond.I'm sure that you've got a fake one,which is well known to our Chinese as a name of Shanzhai(zh sounds like dr),the name means it is made in small or OEM factory,but usually, Shanzhai cell has a lot of function(such as extraordinary standby ability etc.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] D'rath:
Lot of Functions and stability but Diamond's ROMs and Radios aren't compatible ^^ so thazeid don't solve his problems with Diamond SW ;)

Check it out Qik. If you don't already know what it is, it's an app that allows you to stream live video from your G1 onto Qik's servers. Anyone with your url can then view the stream you are sending live. It also allows you to share the videos to facebook, twitter, and youtube.

[G1 Apps and Games] MattyMatt5481:

[G1 Apps and Games] zgmf-x322a:
nice app thanks :D
[G1 Apps and Games] navdroid:
I am wondering if anyone knows how to manually set white balance and shtuff like that to get video quality up.
[G1 Apps and Games] loomism2:
It installed fine and doesn't seem to force close or anything, but when I go to their site to see my video it only records the first few seconds and nothing else. There was nothing during recording that seemed to show this. It appeared in the app to record until I hit stop which was around 30 seconds or more. Anyone else having this problem?
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
Just tried it and it worked fine for me. Maybe you lost your network for a moment so it hadn't finished uploading. I don't know:confused:
[G1 Apps and Games] loomism2:
I'll keep trying, but I am 0 for 2 right now.
[G1 Apps and Games] cedricberger:
There is a new version in market, and it is stated that background uploading was added.

So I guess in your case uploading must have been stopped before all video was transferred.
[Touch HD General] m.r.davies:
I used a app on my old n95 which was amazing for downloading mix sets etc

I've tried the rss hub but its poo

any good ones out there that have good search functions too?
[Touch HD General] sicknick:
I've searched quite a bit for this (came from a N78 and a few other symbian phones before that). The built-in podcast aplication from nokia is superb, easy downloading and browsing for new ones. But if you have a fixed set of podcasts you download (like I do) then RSS Hub works fine for me. Add the feeds manualy and there you go, downloading en starting media player from within the app. Kinda like on the nokia. It downloads over wifi when connected so even without a data-plan it's usefull.
[Touch HD General] m.r.davies:
thanks mate

i've added my own feeds etc, but its such a pain trying to add new feeds etc

i'd rather think, right, i want to find a drum and bass podcast mix sets, and search for one, download a couple to listen to on the way to work, nice a easy!

but its not

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Shrek.yin:
I'd like to choose the iphone 3g s personally.

The WM OS would not be on my list this time.

and the iphone is better than the Palm Pre in

1. have video record function

2. more convenient text editing

3. various apps to choose

4. have a better look in my opinion

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mustking:
I purchased the used HTC Cruise (Polaris) from my friend which have problem that it don't detect the Sim card plus the camera is not working...

What i have done up now:

1. Unlocked successfully using Polaris Unlocker.

2. Updated the radio to 1.59.44.02

3. Flashed the custom rom (3LIT3_VII_FULL)

But, nothing worked until now. Can some one suggest somethings to try to only make the Sim to work for the time being. Is this may be the connector itself?

Thank you.

Nope, simple as that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] CyberQ:
Hey all.

Im looking for the Ezinput keyboard and phonepad with the arrows in the bottom, is it possible to get it in a single cab file that works?

I tried differnt versions from XDA, but when i install them my phone won't boot.

Im using a superb ROM, but it does not have the arrows to select words with :(

Hope someone can help :)

Maybe some one can tell me wich files to copy out of a ROM that has the keyboard so i can replace them on my new ROM?

Thanks in advance

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Only apply if you have a stock Roger's Magic without root!

The following procedure flashes the stock Roger's boot image with root access enabled to your Roger's Magic :

1. Copy this update to your SD-card.

2. Download RAv1.0's rooted recovery here.

3. Boot the device in fastboot mode.

4. Connect the device to your machine over USB.

5. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

wait a few minutes and unplug your device from USB

6. Choose option "Apply sdcard:update.zip" from the menu

If the flashing doesn't work you might need to flash this SPL update from your sd-card after fast booting with recovery-RAv1.0H.img

If you want to have a rooted recovery as well, you can check out this post.

Enjoy :D

Special thanks to :

Haykuro for all his help ^^ , buy him a Nesquik!

JesusFreke for his JFv1.43's recovery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Would this work on the Rogers Dream?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
No it would not work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
It works! Woot Root!

Edit: Confirmed root adb access by pushing these onto my phone. Now my Rogers is more awesome! Huzzah!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trincisor:
how do i do the fifth step

"5. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img"

when i connect in fast boot method, i get a a found new hardware dialog box running windows vista ultimate x64 eition
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
Did you install the drivers properly?

Now we need to get more roms working with the Rogers! Any ideas on how we con go about that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jpa-:
is there any reason that this wouldn't work on the Dream ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
1. I don't think the kernel inside the recovery image would work on the dream.

2. The boot image inside the update is from the Magic, not from the dream.

There's no harm in trying to fastboot the recovery image... but I don't think it will work. Let us know if it would!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Don't we need rooted recovery to be able to restore our backups? Just confirming......
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
recovery-RAv1.0H.img is rooted...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Wow... Thanks Amon_RA! I can now install some input methods that I couldn't do...

We still can't just choose any ROM out there, correct? Or now that we have ROOT we are invincible? .. hehe
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
Here's another possible noobish question: there doesn't appear to be any su installed by default into the stock Rogers rom (ie. attempting to su from the console results in "su:not found"). Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
The boot images inside the "any ROM" would have to be repacked using Haykuro's discovered offset ;)

So make sure you know what you are doing and always make a backup of your current configuration first!

Any specific ROM you would like to run on your rooted Rogers?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Just download Koush's su from his blog here.

* Unzip the ZIP file (it will create a folder called Superuser).

* Run install.bat (or install.sh if you are on Linux) from the Superuser directory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Not sure I know what I'm doing :p I do not know how to mod an image.

I saw on the forum that a few people mentioned the Ion ROM is the fastest of the bunch? I definitely would want to try it. I know many other people who want the Hero ROM instead :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dgr8one:
thank you for this.

i have a rooted rogers magic with su access.

wifi-tether is not working for me with the rogers rom. need to install a new rom i guess.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mizunox:
Thanks Amon_RA for spending your time on this--

..sorry to be a pain, but I've read some of the wikis and still not totally sure if I've done this right.

Can you let me know - if I have done it correctly, but try to apply the update a second time will it report "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ?

..because it is.

Would that be an indication that it worked the first time? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drewX2:
Now that its rooted, we can install any Magic rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ExTREmE99:
So with this new root, Which themes can be used with our devices and is there any fast stable roms out that is unbranded(i dont want Rogers junk on here)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
I tried, but to no avail. Seems like the boot.img in other roms need to be patched with the offsets that Haykuro found.

Well, if you adb shell in you can nuke out the Rogers crap manually... :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DarknessTM:
How do i know its rooted?

What is the best way to tell ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drewX2:
Where do we get command line tools? ie. cp/mv/etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drewX2:
Trying remounting with ADB. If it works, your rooted. I think.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tribalmunky:
I'm on the same boat. Did I do something wrong?

Edit: Scratch that, I don't have su access even after doing the Superuser.zip one...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gormanimal:
Awesome work!

One question first though. You said you may need to flash a different SPL. If I do that will my phone still work fine in Canada? Will I be able to flash it back if it doesn't?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Before my phone was rooted, if I type "adb root" I would get "root not allowed in production vesion". After phone is rooted, I get "already running in root mode"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Just a quick noob question. If I root my device, what must I use to backup original Rom in the event that the phone must be any for repair? I also heard that some of the roms are no good for rogers devices cause of the difference in 3g bands. Is this Rom fully functional? Meaning WiFi and bluethooth still work? Get access to Rogers 7.2mbps data connections? Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
The Recovery image that you fastboot with, contains the Nandroid backup utility. Use that before you flash anything and everything should be backed up on your SD card. Since we have the rooted recovery now, as the OP confirmed, we can flash the files back to the device.

THIS boot image only allows root access... Your system rom, data are not changed in any way (as far as I could see)... All functions on my phone still works, and I didn't install the SPL update.

If you are talking about the other ROMs out there, no, no guarantee yet I think... (except daldroid's rom)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] birnie:
parrot5,

Can you give us a step by step to root our rogers phone while keeping our original rom.

Thanks

Birnie
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Thanks for the tip. still a bit confused but will attempt. Got the drivers installed and stuff just find the guide on page 1 missing some steps. aspecially for noobs like myself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Make sure you have the ADB drivers installed.

Yes I know. I was a noob reading these things and had to figure out the SDK and USB drivers and debugging mode and stuff, but, that was the easy part ;) It gets harder now since I want to open up the boot.img files and modify stuff... Still experimenting......................
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Have you downloaded the SDK and installed the USB driver for debugging mode? After that, basically the first post of this thread (and don't miss this for backing up your whole system, also mentioned in the first post) is all you need.

If you are stuck somewhere, post and I'm sure you'll get answers. Maybe if there is demand, I can write a complete NOOB guide, since I am a NOOB myself so hopefully I can address the basic steps that often are missing from other posts -- posted by gurus who are past the newbie stages.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Which Rom are you using? Is it still the stock Rom just rooted? Or does the.image give you the version which allows you to buy paid apps from market?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Trying to send you a pm but link won't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
I am NOT the author of these images, but in my limited experience in rooting my own phone:

The system image and data image are not touched at all. It is still going to be your stock rom (with all existing data intact), just rooted - so for example you can manually delete the Rogers apps if you wish, or in my case push some library files for input methods.

Yes I am still using the stock ROM -- waiting for a proper release for the ION rom for Rogers. Better learn from the masters :)

To allow paid apps, you need an app called "marketenabler", which needs root anyways. Haven't tried it yet though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
I took a look in my User CP settings and found nothing wrong... :confused: I've never got any PM anyway :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tribalmunky:
Trying it again, I fastbooted the recovery image and ran the update.zip. I then did tried the command "adb root" and I get error: closed. I then tried adb shell and it pops me into a root prompt. I ran the superuser.zip's install bat and I get this:

C:\Users\digitaldiatribe\Downloads\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools>adb push bin/su /system/bin

C:\Users\digitaldiatribe\Downloads\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools>adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod: /system/bin/su: Not a directory

C:\Users\digitaldiatribe\Downloads\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools>adb uninstall koushikdutta.superuser
/sbin/sh: pm: not found

C:\Users\digitaldiatribe\Downloads\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools>adb install bin/Superuser.apk
/sbin/sh: pm: not found

Do I need to run that SPL in the OP then? How do I do that? Rename it update.zip then do Apply sdcard:update.zip again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
So basically, these steps will simply root the device. Ok, gonna try. Once I'm done, I do the recovery method which is needed to change roms if I choose. Cool. I was referring to the link on these pages to. Send pm's. Don't seem to work on magic browser.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tribalmunky:
Man, I don't know what the hell I'm missing. I'm following the directions to the T. Everything seems to work, but I can't access root or superuser on the phone afterwards. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drewX2:
Anyone have a link for command line tools? I can't "cp" on the device because it says cp does not exist.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mack:
just passing the knowledge. cp is busybox commands so you have to either install busybox or type busybox before the command: ie adb shell busybox cp...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnowa636:
has any one tried this on the MyTouch 3G from T-mobile. Wondering if it will work, before I try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tribalmunky:
Wow, OK. I figured it out. I needed to run the Superuser install.bat when the phone was not in the recovery image but rather when the phone is turned on normally, I got root now for sure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] motionUS:
Three questions,

1.) When I download the update.zip it get a file named update.zip.jar, should I remove the .jar before I move to the sd card.

2.) Can I use terminal on my mac to type the following:

$fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

or do I do this in eclipse somewhere. If so can anyone get a little more detailed with this step.

3.) I have a unlocked magic on ATT currently but I only see some paid apps. If I root and use market enabler will I see all apps or is my unlocked phone, not able to see copyright protected apps whether I root or not?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gimpeh:
Would this work on a ION?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Someone asked what rom would be preferred.

Well personally, I would love any of the JK roms for the Android Dev Phone. This might seem like a very basic rom, but it's all I need for development, and it's clean.

Any of the popular rooted roms would be nice either way.

I'm going to be putting this on AT&T to get some 3G action.
