I think Loccy has raised an interesting topic here. I am also a Vodafone UK HTC Magic user, willing to try some new ROMs with Hero's features, however what I really miss here is some sticky thread with complete step-by-step instructions of where and how to start with ROM flashing. I've been a heavy user of Windows Mobile devices some time ago, and also been playing with xda-dev any many different ROMs. But as far as I remember for each device-specific forum there was at least 2 or 3 sticky threads with complete n00b instructions. In this case it's a bit scattered all over the place and takes time to figure it all out and glue the pieces...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
If I have time later I will try to create a guide - The information is there but absolutly agree it's hard to work out whats latest / correct info.

If not today then over next couple of days.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] palexr:
Hi newb alert here! Just to add a little to eva_d's point above (which would be great), as a newb n00b I'd find it really useful to know what the differences betwenn the different ROMs is.

I'm 99% I'm going to get a Magic on VF UK next month. The phone looks good and I like the idea of the open source OS so you can fiddle with what you get which is why I am here. I understand the OS on the VF UK magics is relatively lame. However, I am having trouble understanding what's the difference between fatal1ty's, nk02's and the smartphone euro one? I mean in terms of functionality. What difference does user see? Is it jthe UI? Functionality? Both? Are there any screenshots?

fatal1tys = nice but slow

nk02's = nice, fast, but what's the difference between the full and "lite" as a user? Compared to the stock ROM?

Euro = nice fast, but again, I'm not sure what I would be getting compared to what comes in the box? (btw French isn't a problem for me).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
All the hero roms - currently having issues, good to play with but maybe not for everyday (unless jerpelas new rom out later is as good as hinted at...) Has multitouch browser and better music app

NK02 - good, based on the very fast Google ION rom - with a few extras

SFR - Good fast rom, french based but quick and stable

I use the stock ION rom, rooted with a few customisations. I managed to get the HERO camera working last night, working on the browser today, might have something to release (but I will need some help) later this week, depending on what the others release...

Fatal1ty - are you still there?

Jeperla - Looking forwards to version 005
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ptekelly:
If i was getting a new phone i would not get the VF one - i would go to orange and T mobile and look at what they are offering. The HTC hero looks very nice and it natively runs Rosie so why not just get that if that what you are after

remember the VF magic has even less RAM than the Magic provided by t-mobile - not too sure if that version is coming to uk

Paul

Note Rosie was not meant for a RAM shy device like the VF magic so it is going to struggle no matter what. it is a toss up between looks/functionality/speed so choose what is most important to you.

Looks = fatal1tys Rom

Speed = Ion

functionality varies depending on what you want - for me fatal1tys works so thats what i use
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eva_d:
Additional n00b questions:

1) Do custom ROMs for Magic have full access to Android Market or installing apps would have to be manual after flashing new ROM?

2) How to revert original ROM? Is my understanding right that nandroid is a right tool for the job, ie. it dumps current ROM onto SD card and then allows to restore it? (just trying to glue the scattered pieces together :)

3) How does web browser work in various custom ROMs? I use my Magic mainly as an internet tablet for mobile browsing on the Tube or wherever, I very rarely use it for phone calls - would it be OK then to use custom ROM with some Hero features?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbelnox:
hi, I've just bought my G1 so I'm a noob frankly speaking. During yesterday I had tried to root my G1 (not sure successful or not), and successfully applying HardSPL on my G1 already.

and now, I would like to flash to CyanogenMod 3.6.5 which based on android 1.5, while currently my G1 is still firmware 1.0 and the baseband is 1.22.12.29 with TC4-RC29 build.

So, my question is, what should I do next so I can flash to CyanogenMod 3.6.5? From what I've read around the forum, it seems I have to update my Baseband version to 2.22 something is it? But, i also read that I must update radio before applying SPL... so if I'm going to update radio, will it brick my G1 since I HardSPL before updating this radio.

another question is that, do I have to update my build? what is the use of build actually...

thank you for everyone in advance

You're going too fast and you've confused yourself.

There are plenty of good guides around. Slow down, use the search, and READ EVERYTHING TWICE. If you carry on trying to do this stuff before you understand it, you're going to end up with a shiny new brick.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0zone:
good advice
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbelnox:
thanks for your advice. but can you please hint me where to get the good guide for a noob like me?

the problem is that I can't seem to find a good guide for a noob like me in the first hand because almost every topic regarding to the rooting just stop half after installing HardSPL... that's why I'm getting confused whether to install Radio first or SPL first...

at least the one that I'm referring did not mention anything about updating Radio and just installing the HardSPL right away.

thanks.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varo6a:
I don't understand also what to do. At the end I just want to install xap files on my phone.

I make successful installing on HardSPL. And after reading may be 500 posts i still don't understand what is the next step to deploy xap files on my phone. I read that I need Application Deployment tool but it doesn't work. So i did this (below) exactly and after this error:

error - application launch failed. ensure that the device screen is unlocked and device is developer unlocked.

i think that i'm missing something. What else after HardSPL i need so I can deploy xap files? If there is not other thing then why is this error. I do exactly instructions for deployment :

1.From your computer go to the Start menu and navigate to “Windows Phone Developer Tools”.

2.From among the options look for “Application Deployment” and select it.

3.When asked to specify a target device for deployment, choose “Windows Phone 7 Device”.

4.Direct the tool to the file path of the XAP entity you want in your phone.

5.Plug in your phone to the PC via USB cable.

6.Let Zune sync with your device.

7.Without letting your phone go to sleep, press the Deploy button in the tool running on your PC.

I forgot to say that my phone is HTC Mozart 7 and I hope that i'm asking in the right place.

I don't think so.

After reading 5 hours i found the simple answer.

After instaling HSPL u can now instal Custom Rom which is fully unlock.

That's it.

Hello guys

I´m leaving on holidays next Wdnesday ealry morning and need to sync all my contacts with my computer but i can´t. I usually did it normally but it´s a long time ago since my last sync (like 7 or 8 months ago). I´m experience some problems with the alarms which don´t go off and i wanna upgrade my treo bf leaving to have a backup of my contacts and try to resolve the alarm problem.

I run the support app for activesync but it says there´s a problem with the usb port 990, i just check what the advise me and nothing happens. I downloaded usbswitch.cab and intalled it but nothing happens.....

any help????

thanks in advance
[Palm Treo Pro] mccune:
I would use PPC PIM Backup to backup all my contacts\calendar\messages etc.. Hard reset the Treo Pro and restore afterwards. Depending on what side you have the most up to date data.

If Outlook contains the latest data I would export all data to PST, sync with the Treo and after this import the PST file again.

Microsoft My Phone is also an option to backup your data first ;)

Concerning ActiveSync. Aren't you using any firewall that might cause the connection problem?
[Palm Treo Pro] jumanji1212:

[XPERIA X1 General] sx1-doc:
hello,let me tell you a story of my day.

let me say that is only small benchmark comparision of the two prossesors (msm 7200 and the scorpion (snapdragon)).

i know its not fair to compare the 2 devices ,but its just to see how the scorpion perform .

by the way in deviceinfo for the toshiba tg01 the proccesor name is SCORPION.

i was passing by mediamarkt germany today and the white tg01 was there to play with ,so i install sktools and test opengl and run them:

tg01 6.1 x1 wm6.1

integer 742 332

floating 19,75 7,73

ram 1200 1550

draw bitmaps 1800 800

(while benchmarking the tg01 my xperia was digging deep in my pocket )

test opengl gave me on all test 60fps (it seem the software is limited to 60 fps)

and i installed nfs undercover gl version(i almost cried there) the game runs like ps3 i dunno how many fps but it soo smooth maybe +60fps (x1 maybe run it at 10 t0 20fps max)

days of the msm 7200 are gone.

what i see is nice very impressive platform benchmark,i only hope that the next xperia will have snapdragon platform .

p.s: SONYERICSSON i want my xperia x1 with snapdragon and 8 mpx cam and accelerometer and i will be sold .
[XPERIA X1 General] chalid:
Not sure if snapdragon chipset will be that popular. nvidias tegra chipset seems to be far better and zune hd will feature it. so its only a matter of time for more devices to ship with that.
[XPERIA X1 General] jhendra:
*just my opinion

Not trying to ***** out of the thread but I just don't understand the concept of nowadays smartphones are used to play games. I mean c'mon now if you really wanna play games...just buy a PSP. I'm happy w/ my Xperia as it is. If I do need a snapdragon, I'll get the Rachel but who knows when it'll be released.
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
well actualy i'd like to have a snapdragon because this chip was designed with the intention to suck as less power as possible. i've read something about using 1 Watt while running on 1 ghz. thats pretty impressing.

the qualcom CPU simply just sucks when it comes to power consumption and picture processing. no idea how the nvidia chipset is but so far the snapdragon is my favourite.

for the benchmarks, i cant care less. ill wait for a proper android phone/Rom since our biggest problem is the windows we are running.
[XPERIA X1 General] sx1-doc:
i totaly respect your opinion ,

xperia(touchpro,touch pro2,diamond....) is suffering from bad video play and if i install a prog with nice 3d effect (like s2p gl)not mentioning games ,just lagging without limit.

and more programs are coming with better ui and effects ,and xperia wvga needs gpu power to keep up with these progs .

even camera need better gpu and cpu to record better video and take picture faster and better proccesing power is needed (if you use it as ppc not as phone).

personaly i use everything in my ppc,phone ,camera ,keyboard,wifi,bluetooth,gps,mp3,video player,even sometime games when i am in train or traveling.

thats the reason why i buy a ppc,if i wanna use phone only (i will not spend 500euro on ppc)

anyway this is my personal opinion .
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
just a little statement ... G/CPU is nearly never a problem. its allways a matter of programming skillz. just take a look at the demoscene and see what they squeeze out of lame PCs and 64kb files. and to be honest, most coders nowdays are lazy and go for heigher CPU ussage if they can save time. same for me ^^
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Snapdragon and Tegra have different strengths. They actually complement each other rather well. A chip that has all of their capabilities is what I want.
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
what makes the tegra so special? 3D and video rendering?
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
Can't blame programmers here as mobile device keep on changing it's hardware. Software optimized for Xscale no longer working for this crappy qualcomm chip. So, we need the brutal force method (fast cpu) to ensure everything works as smooth as possible.

Too bad this TG01 only support 2100 UMTS or I will be sold as well
[General Questions and Answers] Quboid:
Hello all,

I'm using Windows Mobile 5, and I'm wondering if there's a resource problem with Windows Mobile. Even though I have plenty of RAM available on my device, I can only seem to load 2 custom soft input addons, and only a couple of today plugins before things start going pear shaped (attempting to switch SIP just goes to the basic keyboard, things dont load properly, the system just starts breaking).

I've done my best to search for this, but lacking good search terms to describe the problem I wasn't able to find much, just a few other people with a similar problem.

Does anyone have any idea on how to resolve this, or am I doing something wrong? Continually rebooting to load different SIPs or plugins is somewhat irritating.

Many thanks :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] squidrocks:
I've seen this in WM5 and WM6.

Whenever I click the button (that green one with phone icon) or the sms button, the application is shown in taskmanager. And when I close all the programs, cprog.exe is left behind. I think the process name is "phone".

It is consuming about 778kb at the moment.

Anyone knows what it is and why does a new copy run each time 'basic phone features' are accesseD?

I've wanted to ask this before, but today was tracking the performance, so thought of raising this Q. I can see a max of 3 insances of cprog.exe today. But I'm sure I've seen more.

Any idea?

It is hard to believe, the display is real **** of the D2.

I was super careful, did not drop the phone or anything. Already after the 2nd day of owning it, the display is broken.

I had it in the leather pouch in my pocket and when I pull it out to use it, I see some liquid under the display. Now the display does not react anymore.

No idea what to do...

has this happened to you before?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
Hi

Sorry to hear the screen is broken, if you mean you had it in your trouser pocket this is very likely the reason. They should never ever be put in a trouser pocket, a mobile phone might be built to withstand it, but not a mobile PDA such as these. The problem is they are all screen, and any pressure bending the chassis, or keys or coins pressing against the screen are going to cause problems.

Depending on where you bought it you might be able to send it back to the place of purchase, or try a warranty repair with HTC, however other people have reported that problems such as this with the screen are excluded from warranty.

Regards

Phil
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
This screen issue does worry me; it does seem to have afflicted quite a few users. I regard myself a a very careful user, my "gadgets" are rarely scratched or marked.

But, I keep the D2 in a soft pouch in my jacket pocket. Evertime I get it out there's an irrational urge to worry if the screen's still OK. This will probably subside with time, I admit.

What worries me is if the pouch gets "poked" on the screen side whilst in my jacket. I would expect a portable device to be at least a bit resistant to this treatment. The D2 does appear to have a "delicate" screen, which would benefit from being stored in a pouch with a hard protective panel on the screen side. If only for peace of mind.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cencored:
Thanks for the kind words. I just left the phone alone for about 3 hours and the liquid behind the display has disappeared. It seems like it fixed itself, which I do not understand.

I will monitor it and treat it carefully, however it looks like this could be a common problem, as I really did not drop it nor knock it.

If anyone else has had a similar experience, I would be interested to know about. I actually may call XDA and ask them how this happens...it's looking good so far...

My TD2 is always in my trousers pocket, just like my previous pda, the HTC Touch, without any screenprotectors or such. Both screens are not damaged at all and works still just fine :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
You are lucky. Maybe you never carry anything else, like keys or money, in your trouser pocket. Perhaps you're rich and don't care

@cencored: Perhaps it was just moisture which has dried out? I've read before this can happen if the screen gets damp (although the symptom for actual physical screen damage sounds very similar).

I misplaced the slip case that came with my TD2, ordered a new one of the interweb but in the 2 days it too k to arrive my screen got scratched. Given the real beauty of this device is the screen and it;'s resoloution I am gutted to the point that even though it is still 100% functional and the scratches are really very small I may look at the cost of a new screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HandySpanner:
Why don't they make phone screens out of the same glass they make watch glass with? I don't feel the need to put a watch protector on the glass of my watch, and it seems to need a lot of abuse before it gets scratched or chipped.

I always have my phone in the trouserpocket, but because I know I'm not very carefull with al lot of things, I have a leather case with hard top.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] solidkundi:
I was very intrigued by the development of 'Seismo' application...which can detect vibration.

This is just an IDEA for a fun application.....and maybe...just maybe useful....

I'm sure u can isolate and identify the harder vibrations. With that said, lets say i left my diamond somewhere on my table...and

1) i TAP on the table twice....and my Diamond makes a noise in response...letting me know its location.

Or maybe i have it in my pocket...

2)Tap once while the music is playing to change the track....or to silent a call...or to ignore it...

and i'm sure this could be used for alot of other things.....let me know what u guys think..

Its a simple suggestions...if this is worth any of ur time....i would love to see an application like this.

Peace...:D

i mean I will still work on this irrespective ... and then may be share some code ...

- answer a incoming call (and automatical switch the speakerphone on?!)

- next/prev track in s2p/music-tab/wmp

- chance profile (vibrate/mute/..)

- dismiss reminders/sms/calls and stuff

- find the phone on the desk
