[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] DeathJester:
I am getting confused between the versions of TouchFlo which are appearing on the forum... I've no idea which is the most up to date, or even which version I'm using.

I see screens which are identical to mine (flipping clock, scrolling app bar at bottom of screen) which is apparently TouchFlo3D, yet I've not seen a cube. I've seen posts which alude to TouchFlo 3D version 2.5 being released soon, yet when I check the version in TouchFlo settings mine says Version 3 build 1913.2627

What the hell?! Did my Topaz come with 3D or not? Is it a version that's not yet released?

AM I INSANE?!

Thanks :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] RedDrums:
Go to your TouchFlo, then go on the Parameters tab and take a look at the last element (need to scroll down)

You'll get everything you want to know ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] DeathJester:
Gah, another version number! At least I know where I am now...

2.0.37889.1 :p

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] DeathJester:
Another question... I'm readin up on installing 2.1 on my topaz, but it seems like I need to install a whole new ROM for that.

Is it not available as a cab? Is it too tightly integrated into ths OS?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josepz:
I installed Cyanogen´s last version, and did a ext3 partition in my sd card...

All work fine, and now I have apps in sd card, BUT...when I try to change the card for another one, the phone hangs....

I can´t activate or deactivate sd card like I did when no app2sd before change it, because the option is disabled in settings and secondary sdcard is show with all ext3 space...

I have a lot of multimedia files and need more than one sd card, so... is not possible to change the sd card when you configured the phone for app2sd?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrherras:
because Cm rom automatically move your app, app-private, lost+found & dalvik-cache to your SD and when you boot your phone with a different SD it will definitely freeze because you don't have you dalvik-cache in ext partition
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devsk:
its a chicked & egg problem. Does anybody know if the phone can be connected to a computer when in recovery mode? Because if it can't, the phone needs to be wiped everytime the SD card goes bad or you need to replace it for some reason.

If recovery console can be connected to the computer, then the card can be backed up to a folder on the computer and restored back into another card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
You can use adb from JF's or Cyanogen's recovery, or you can mount your card manually through the recovery console:

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaiderX303:
best thing to do is this while in recovery, use adb and type

adb shell mount /system/sd/
adb pull /system/sd/ system_sd_backup

turn off phone, change sd card, go back into recovery, then

adb shell mount /system/sd/
adb push system_sd_backup /system/sd/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devsk:
These are fired from the computer, right? NVM. figured that. Thanks for the command. A nudge in the right direction is always very helpful! Now I know, I will not be in dark if my SD card gives up on me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smccaldin:
Similar Problem

I've got a similar problem...

My SD card has corrupted a couple of times, so I've ordered a new one. However, I've now got round to setting up App2sd and all is working well. A few questions about swapping cards around:

Am I right in thinking that I can use the above method (adb shell commands) to copy the relevant info across to the new SD card? Assumably after it's been partitioned.

I was thinking that a Nanodroid backup and restore would do the trick - not so convinced now...?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
Ocassionally, the whole of the start bar across the top of the screen vanishes, it just goes blank and nothing is visible or clickable along the top (ie, all the little icons such as battery, signal indicator, start button, etc). Rebooting the phone restores it. Anyone else come across this before and is there a solution?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mb76:
Mine occasionly does that, and the other odd thing it does is leave the small keyboard symbol at the bottom of the screen, not very often but once it's there it's a nightmare to shift, it eventually sorts itself out without soft reset, no idea why it does it, there seems to be no consistency to when it happens either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Fatboyfun:
Mine does this too but i found opening and closing the camera (which i have on a soft key) brings it back again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
I shall try that. This little start bar problem has been doing it more than usual in the last couple of days.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
It happened again just now and I hadn't assigned my camera yet. HOWEVER, I have tomtom assigned to the today screen and opening and closing tomtom brought the start bar back. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Fatboyfun:
I think any full screen program should do it, maybe it just needs to be refreshed which doesn't happen with a non full screen program
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
It happened again a moment ago. This time I clicked on 'No unread messages' on the today screen (I don't use touch flo at the moment btw just standard WM interface) which brought up my text messages and returned the start bar.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wilmens:
I tryed to flash a rom again and when i installed it it gave me a negatvie (blue) screen and the phone turned on!But i installed from 1.56 or 54 dont remmeber to 1.15 stock rom and this happened but whe i try to flash other roms it just gets stuck at 0! :(:(:(:( what should i do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Your negitive screen issue is more than likely due to fact that your using wrong HSPL

HSPL 1.56 is to be used for roms based on 1.56+

HSPL 1.14 is to be used for roms based on pre 1.56

If you use wrong HSPL you will experience this negitive or greenish discolourisation

I suggest you read this section in wiki and my mate cRaCKwHoRe's guide

So, with widgets now in full swing, I thought I would find out from you folks, which widgets could you not live without????

Personally, I love the FML widget. I look at it several times a day. I love how its customizable to fit any theme! Im sure I would be VERY UPSET to lose this one!

I also love the Android and Me widget and the 10,000 things to know widget.

So what about you guys?
[G1 Apps and Games] APEX.7:
def the bbc news widget for me. (being british)

really hope to see a decent sms widget, facebook widget, and contacts widget - bit like the ones on the hero.
[G1 Apps and Games] bigballa:
from hero i cant live without the messaging preview widget

that thing is the best

dont have to keep going into the app now to preview a message to know if i feel like responding or not...

it lags the phone a little but oh well...

[G1 Apps and Games] DavidCarson:
I've never got the hype with widgets - they seem to kill my battery and tbh I can just click one icon on my homescreen for whichever app I like.
[G1 Apps and Games] evilkorn:
Really the only widgets I use are the retro clock/date, wifi on/off and brightness. That is in addition to the music and google in another window.
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
I'm with you on this one. Though it is good to see next appointment in your calendar on the home screen. So calendar is the only widget that I use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] schaggo:
Hi guys, chiming in into the Android forums!

Got myself a 32A boarded and thus HTC branded Magic in Switzerland. Worked fine but at some point I couldnt resist rooting that thing. Tried all the ROMs, didnt really like any of them (guess it's too soon...) and wanted to go back. I have a nandroid system.img, boot.img and data.img at hand. I first erased the device and then flashed the stuff back onto the device. That was the day before yesterday.

Yesterday, after roughly 12h of use it suddenly (didnt do anything spectacular, I think I checked the time...) froze/crashed on me, rebooted and got stuck at looping the HTC logo which flies in and playing the HTC boot tune all the time.

Duh, must have done something wrong. Went home, re-erased everything, reflashed all the images except data.img since it was kinda "old" by now. Device worked beautifully... until a moment ago. I was about to pick a new ringtone when it froze on me, rebooted and got stuck looping the flying in HTC logo and the HTC boot tune... after roughly 12h of use, again!

So here I'm sitting now thinking WTF?! I mean it boots just fine when I wipe the device. But stalls when I restore data.img. If I wipe now and configure the thing from scratch, I could bet my ass it will stall again at 5am, which would be 12h from now...

My exact config:

Default HTC ROM (restored from nandroid backup)

Amun_RA's RAv1.1.2 recovery

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H (so the engineering SPL)

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43

Anyone got some help? I mean its kind of unpractical to have a device which thinks it's got to magically stall every 12h... :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Just reflash it with a ROM that you know that has worked before without any problems. One thing that I would do also is flash the restore.img before flashing a new ROM:

One time a ROM corrupted my recovery partition causing me a problem where no ROM would work.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] footboydog:
On gizmodo.

"Tragically flawed" but "the Hero is still the best Android phone yet" so my pre-order still stands :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thedumbkid:
It's making me having second thoughts though. I think I'm going to wait and see. If speed issue isn't there when only a limited number of widgets are used, then I think I'm ok with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NisseGurra:
With a bit of tweaks it will be lightning fast. And who cares of the camera?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] footboydog:
Someone in the comments on the article says that a Class 6 micro SD card should speed it up. Guess what I just ordered from Amazon?:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fl4r3:
The review was pretty much one sided...everything kept coming back to the iphone for some reason :confused:

Even after reading through it I decided to go ahead and order my Hero...delivery is on thursday tho...have to wait TWO DAYS :mad: lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brummiesteven:
This is interesting from:

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/ph...hero-617981/review?src=rss&attr=all&artc_pg=2

It probably is due to the fact that these are review handsets or something like that. The Hero rom runs fine on my G1 tbh, it's slow in some places but with a system that has twice the RAM and ROm I would expect that to stop tbh.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
Gizmodo reviews you can ignore anyway :).

... but still there are quite a few of mixed stories.

Basicly it seems the animation and core Android menu's are smooth and speedy and responsive.

but it seems they put the HTC Widgets on very low priority, as not to slow down the rest of the phone. So the widgets take their time updating their content, which seems more as a connection-speed thing.

I'm sure that if it's not speedy enough from launch, it will come in ROM fixes, either from HTC or from XDA :). And if we somehow can get root on the phone, the usual tweaks such as compcache and/or swap will speed it up a bit.

The CPU is fast enough on those MS7xxx based devicse, it's the internal ROM-storage that's kinda slow. The same reason that file-caching tweaks and using SD cards for storage / OS parts work on both the Diamond and the G1 for example.

I'm just gonna form my own opinion on this device when I have it in my hands :). But seeing as I'm more than happy with my tweaked Diamond - which is named quite slow in every review out there - I expect good things from the Hero.

Slash Gear loves it.

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-hero-review-2149880/

Interesting what they comment on the lag other reviews are reporting:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brummiesteven:
Look at the video "HTC Hero media widget and Flash-capable browser:" in that review.

Now I know what the other reviews are on about. It takes a fraction of a second for it to move between home screens. On default android this was fluid and you saw the "transition" of dragging the screen from one position to another, on the hero it looks more like Homescreen 1, Swipe, 0.2 second wait, Homescreen 2.

Not a problem at all, but most reviewers would criticise for this, especially the ones that always go back and compare to the "all mighty iPhone" :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
The Hero is far better than the iPhone - me thinks. But I dont want a war about it.

This is just my experience from using apple technology for 20 years

Hi XDA Members

TF3D Retractable Manila Slide Bar is a mod for Rhodium Manila. It allow to retract manila slide bar in protrait mode like in landscape mode.

There's two versions. One for VGA that work fine, and one for the WVGA touch HD, but I can't test this one because I haven't a HD. Use it has your own risk. And please discuss about bug in the thread and give us screenshot.

View attachment 207625View attachment 207626View attachment 207627View attachment 207628

Specification:

Retractable Slide Bar for all tabs

Timeout

To do:

Select tab where Slide Bar is retractable

Add notification bubble for new SMS, miss call...

History:

Version 0.12 HD Beta 3

Third try. Work on some version of manila. But not on all versions.

Version 0.12 HD Beta 2

A new try

Version 0.12 HD Beta 1

First version for the Touch HD (This is a beta. Not tested at this time)

Version 0.12

Fix one bug : When selection is not done by sliding but by taping, the slide bar doesn't retract.

Code improvement : This version is really faster.

Version 0.11

Fix one bug : Inversion of the color Black/white when going to the second level in Manila.

Known issues:

The slide bar doesn't retract when weather tab is select. Need to retap on the slide bar and after time-up, it retracts. This problem come from Manila Weather tab itself. Can't fix it by Manila slide bar code. Try to fix it separately.

Thanks!

Looks good.. I think I'll download and give it a try. I recall someone asking about this in the TF3d2 thread. I wonder if they have found this yet. This is EXACTLY what they were asking about. Has anyone had any issues yet?
[Windows Mobile Themes] dwizzy130:
The only issue is the one mentioned above, sometimes the weather tab's slider doesn't hide but other than that (which isn't bad at all, just requires an extra touch of the weather tab) it's great!

dwizzy130
[Windows Mobile Themes] Aaron McCarthy:
So the only noticable issue I see...outside the weather issue.... and even then nothing I would normally even complain about is that when you go into the secondary menu's and it changes to a white slider. It automatically starts the small tab as black... and vise versa.. when you go from the secondary menu's to the main screen the small tab is white. Once you bring up the main menu slide it goes back to black though.

Also... when selecting the small tab to bring up the main slider it briefly flashes the small white tab.

I've posted a few pictures so you can see what I am talking about.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Aaron McCarthy:
Jmckeejr... it does work with the TV tab! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] abhi2879:
Dumb Question

Great Job to start off! I too like this concept better..

Now having said that.. can I actually use it?

the Thread says TF3D so does it work with the TF3D2 as well?

Edit: It works like a charm. Just installed it. Im gonna spread the word on this one in the EnergyROM thread. Im sure there will be loads of folks who will love this.

The only thing I see is.. with the slider bar minimized the real estate isnt really being used on the "Home" screen it just sits blank there.\

Awesome job once again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Aaron McCarthy:
I'm using TF3D2 and seems to work. Although I've had some issues so far with it not going away after selecting specific tabs. I'll list the issues in a few minutes

Edit: Okay so here's another small glitch... When sliding my finger across the tab for every tab it goes back to being small.. HOWEVER when you simply press the tab and dont slide your finger to it... example being you are on the calender tab and you just select the internet tab... the menu doesnt go down to the smaller size.

Known Bugs

Thanks for your reports.

I have update known bugs in the first post. I'm going to fix them as soon as possible.
[Windows Mobile Themes] brycestejskal:
bugs and other versions...

The only bug mentioned I experienced was the white.black switching color at times but no big deal really, prolly would never have noticed.

In relation to the post about this already being done by someone else, there are different apps that do the same thing for countless other criteria, they mostly meet different needs and one may work better on one device than another, that being said, I tried the other version first and did not like the results. I am sure this is because I am using a custom rom however, This version works for me just fine on NRG's Touch Pro rom whereas the other one gave me a completley messed up home screen and never actually minimized for me. Im sure it works for some people however, this is an example of why it is good to have more than one developers take on the same idea. Just my two cents.

since I've seen the Diamond 2, I tell me the screen of my diamond is small. With your mod, it seems to be taller lol I like it, but after installation, original wallpaper of tf3d2 disepears (sorry I don't know how to translate "disparu"), I have black wallpaper, am I the only to have this issue ?

[Windows Mobile Themes] bedobela:
Good job. I've been looking for this for a while. The only issue I have is that it seems like it makes the whole tf3d2 slower. I'm using Cpt. Throwback's V1E.

I't also impossible to flick your finger from left to right and change tabs anymore but I've been having these difficulties in landscape mode too because that one had this slidebar by default. I didn't use this feature anyway so not a problem.

Definitely made my screen seem bigger :)

I've attached 2 images I've been using for a while now. Created those myself and might not be like the original one...
