alrite im going to assume that everyone is stumped by the problem so im thinking that i could flash my device with a ROM accepted by standard bootloader as it says in the SSPL-HERMES readme. im asuming i have somehow corrupted my hermes so once i do that everything will be reset to normal and i can start from the beginning and try again. so can anyone confirm for me that i can download a firmware somewhere that is accepted by the standard bootloader and flash my hermes without having to use HardSPL or softSPL and without any great risk? and if so can anyone recommend a firmware that i could do this with??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
restart the hermes, have the sd card already inserted and run SSPL.exe from the main memory. It should work. If you think it may help, re-copy SSPL.exe back onto main memory.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chicochico:
What you did wrong was to insert the microsd card after you execute SSPL-HERM.exe. The card must be inserted before execution of softSPL. Then the phone goes to bootloader screen and will recognize the image in the card and will flash it after a prompt to continue.

This thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=295735 has a very good discussion about SD card method for flashing ROMs and the procedure its exactly the same for HardSPL flashing.

About the error with SSPL-HERM.EXE try copying the file again to your main memory or rename the file it might help.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nodyarg:
the problem has been mostly solved. I've managed to get hardspl on the phone by using v9 instead of v7. I think the problem I was having with v7 was that my phone won't run any roms that force sspl. v9 gave me an error but according to boz over at 4win it is a common error happens even during a successful installation. so after getting v9 on my computer the sspl-herm was able to flash and indicated a successful installation. after that I was able to flash black satin. black satin would not install through sspl so others with the same problem will probably have to choose the 2.10 new bootloader in order to get the flash to start. that's what worked for me anyways. I still don't understand why roms won't work thru sspl on my hermes but I have hardspl and black satin now so if I never figure it out I don't really care. thanks for your help guys I really appreciate it. its good to finally be on wm6 :D

I am using various types of 6.5 roms on my HTC Diamont which I am updating very offten.

One of the main usage of the mobile except calls is to receive emails from at least 3 accounts. My problem is that on some roms the email client program (outlook) remain open on the top of the screan after each time is checking for new emails. In other roms is receiving emails on the background without opening each time is due to check for new emails.

Appartely there is a registy or other adjustment for the checking of the emails to be done on the background, does anyone knows something how to adjust this????

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazard4:
Hey,

I wanted to create an easy html panel for the X1 to search wikipedia.

The panel seems almost done, but one problem remains.

My javascript code creates a variabel 'Searchlink' where the complete url is in. So for example:

'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=subject'

Which of course tries to find an article named 'subject'.

The problem is how to launch my default browser showing me this url.

When is just tell to go to that url, the webpage will load in the panel itself. But since the panel is non scrollable, this sucks. So I want it to open the user's default webbrowser and show him the url created.

Any suggestions?

Code so far below:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--

function Makelink(LinkForm)
{
var t=""
for (i=0; i<2; i++)
{
if (document.LinkForm.Language[i].checked==true)
{
t =document.LinkForm.Language[i].value
}
}

var Srchtg = LinkForm.Search_link.value;
var Lng = t;
var Searchlink = 'http://' + Lng + '.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=' + Srchtg;
//Here it needs to launch defalut browser with 'Searchlink' as url...
}
// -->

* View the gps position from the picture in google maps using your browser

* Add your actual gps position to a picture

* Send to SMS, MMS, E-mail and Flickr will be extended also to upload to Facebook

* In the folder view you will be able to see three thumbnails of the pictures in the folder

It'll be very interessting to test this app, considering the old version is so good already but lacks finger friendliness I really think this new version will kick some serious butt :)

Ever since I flashed 21820 my keypad has been nuts. I am trying to figure out if I have a hardware or software problem.

I flashed 2 or 3 different 21820 ROMS all with the same results. My problem is as follows:

The buttons intermittently do not work or have the wrong function. For example, the send key does not work at all, then it works. I press the home key and it launches a call. Then all buttons are dead. Then it works fine for several hours or even an entire day.

I have tried flashing back to previous ROMS and I even flashed back to a factory ROM all with the same intermittent results. I can put the phone on my desk and not touch anything but the keys. Sometimes it works sometime not. Because nothing is moving, it seems hard to imagine a wiring short.

Any advice is welcome. Being a cheapo, I skipped the ATT phone insurance so I may have to pay for a repair if necessary.

Thanks for any help.

Phone less than a year old?

Careful with the WD-40. don't get the moisture sensitive patch near the battery wet. If you had the phone for less than a year old, it's under the manufacturer's warranty that AT&T will honor. As long as you can show the phone wasn't abused (make sure to flash original ROM and SPL) and the phone still has those issues, then they will replace it with no cost to you. I had a problem with the main keyboard, flashed the shipped ROM and SPL and they didn't give me any heartache/headaches... Especially since you've proven that it's hardware with the prying and WD-40 :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwmackay:
Thanks for the tip. I had not thought about that patch, but it seems dry for now. So far the WD-40 is still working. Maybe I have solved this issue.

Generally I love it when things break. It is a great chance to upgrade without the need for too much explaination at home. For now however, there is no device that I would reather have. When the TP2 makes to to the states however, my phone may have an "accident"...

[G1 Android Development] mholger:
EDIT: I cannot recommend placing the swapfile on /sdcard as I have done here. As discussed below, this will cause problems if you mount the SD card without first shutting down swap. Instead, use an existing ext2/ext3 filesystem (if you have one). If you don't, you have been warned.

Apologies if this was already discussed somewhere; I searched about and aside from a couple threads with too many hundred pages to sift through, I didn't see anything obviously relevant...

There is an alternative method to using an additional ext2/ext3 partition for setting up swap space on an SD card, but I'm not sure what the performance ramifications are (should be insignificant). I set this up on the vfat partition that's mounted as /sdcard (yes, I know the risks behind having swap mounted on the vfat slice -- if you care and have a large enough pre-existing ext2 or ext3 filesystem, go ahead and put the swapfile there instead :p):

as root, via adb shell, to make a 24mb swapfile:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swapfile.swp bs=1024 count=24576
# mkswap /sdcard/swapfile.swp
# swapon /sdcard/swapfile.swp

Afterwards, "free" should look something like this:

# free
free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 98328 96412 1916 0 116
Swap: 24568 0 24568
Total: 122896 96412 26484

I haven't worked out automounting of the swapfile on reboot...I'm still debating if the performance gains are worth the effort to continue, but it looks like there's some potential. Certainly the lag and and "loading" time when going to TouchFlo from another app feel reduced - but I have no empirical evidence to back that up.

Cheers!

As far as I know, this is how the Swapper app in the Market works - it places a swap file at the path of your choice (/sdcard/ by default)
[G1 Android Development] rastacre:
Hi There,

I just tried on JF1.51 ADP

I set the swap file on the ext3 partion of the sdcard. It actually seems to help a lot, specially with intensive applications (i.e. copilot live).

I'll test it for a while.

with app2sd it would be possible to modify the script to call the mkswap and swapon command on boot.

Cheers and thanks for the info
[G1 Android Development] rastacre:
Sorry doulbe post
[G1 Android Development] mholger:
Thanks for that! This does appear to be the case. I hadn't looked for apps in the market -- the various ROM threads are filthy with comments about manually creating a third partition to house swap and I wanted to cleanly illustrate an alternative that relies only on existing partitions.

Swapper looks to potentially be an even easier alternative.

After the file is created (via dd) mkswap initializes it as swap space. So long as the file doesn't get deleted/recreated, you shouldn't actually need to re-mkswap it, just swapon it.

Also, it shouldn't be necessary to use Apps2SD to make it mount on boot. It certainly is one way to skin the proverbial cat, but I'm hoping for a more elegant solution... :)

Cheers!
[G1 Android Development] sxfx:
Yes swapper does the same thing as this but there is an issue here.

When using swapper and you have your swp file set on the sd card and then mount your phone to your computer and then turn off mount your sd card will become corrupt. and you will have to reformat.

With this method its even more of a hassle to mount to your pc cause then you would have to open terminal again and get rid of the swap file.

One fix for this is create a separate linux swap partition on your sd card, and use terminal to mount the swp file on there and all these issues will be resolved.

Only thing now is if someone can figure out how to run the swap script on boot, and everything would be golden
[G1 Android Development] mholger:
And there it is. Wow, that really does do something extremely bad...not sure what though.

After mounting the card in Windows, and then releasing it back to the handset, it did complain about an unreadable SD card. It also suggested that I would need to reformat.

Instead, I just run 'swapoff /sdcard/swapfile.swp ; sync' and then rebooted the phone. No reformatting necessary and subsequently executing 'swapon /sdcard/swapfile.swp' works as well.

Looks like using a swapfile on the vfat partition, anyway, is ... not recommended ... unless a way can be found to programmatically 'swapoff' the swapfile before unmounting the partition.

It appears that this is ONLY a problem if your swapfile exists on the "/sdcard" partition, but that you can still create the file on any other pre-existing ext2/ext3 filesystems (such as an Apps2SD partition, if applicable). I have been unable to recreate this problem with swap mounted on my "/system/sd" slice (/dev/block/mmcblk0p2)...
[G1 Android Development] BkBasm:
That's exactly what I was looking for.

What's the command I should use in terminal to push the swap file to my swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Yes, best bet is to not put it on the vfat partition. Since the mmcblk0p2 does not become mounted/unmounted, it is better to put it on there. I've corrupted my card twice putting it on the vfat. Even better is to create a swap partition, on mmcblk0p3
[G1 Android Development] mholger:
Agreed.

Original post has been ... amended. :)
[G1 Android Development] mholger:
So, question for anyone who knows...

I'm running JACHero 2.1, so I don't know if this applies to other images, but this build has both loopback FS support and mke2fs via busybox - and I have massive space available in both /data and /cache, so ...

dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/swapfile.e2fs bs=1024 count=16384
mke2fs /data/swapfile.e2fs
mkdir /data/swap
mount -t ext2 -o loop,rw /data/swapfile.e2fs /data/swap
dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/swap/swapfile bs=1024 count=16380
mkswap /data/swap/swapfile
swapon /data/swap/swapfile

Apparently mounting swapfiles directly off of yaffs2 partitions is verboten - swapon won't touch it. This overcomes that by using the loopback fs to mount a file as an ext2 partition, and as swapon will use a swapfile on an ext2 partition ... we can have swap in intmem. Which should be faster than the SD card as well as having a much larger read/write lifecycle than SD does.

The question is whether or not there's a performance increase to be had. If placing a swapfile on either /data or /cache actually detracts from overall system memory (it doesn't appear to) then the whole point is moot...

But if it doesn't, then performance should be improved over swapping to SD. My short-term experience is to the contrary, however... anyone have any clue why this might be?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
a class 6 sdcard is faster than the internal flash.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
it's probably not good to place a swap on your internal memory, just in case swap does lead to fs or disk corruption in the future (further testing is needed). still best case scenario is to create a linux-swap on your sdcard and:

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
