Sorry, Something just isn't right.

Ok, this has probably been covered, but I tried to go through he 170-something replies in this thread.

I connect my phone o activesync, which works. I run the automatic flash, which tells me my radio isn't on, which I believe it is. I try the manual flash, it gets my image version, but gives me error 246, device not responding. I installed the enablerapinew.cab, but no change. can someone give me a push in the right direction?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 3daysaside:
Hmmm...

Did a little searching, found this thread:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU%20Errors

Doesn't sound too promising, but maybe some more Google searches for "xda rom flash error 246" might net you a result? Oh, and check post #173 by DaveShaw on how to get to the bootloader.

Good luck.

Oops...Reading is easier than seeking tech support!

I contacted Olipro and Cmonex through their website and they were quick to get back to me.

I will give the information here because it's not in the HardSPL's instructions (first page of this thread).

I was getting a series of messages that the process had failed but I didn't read them closely until I was writing them down step-by-step in a response to Olipro. When I did, the answer was right there in print. When I followed the message's instructions it worked.

This is the series of messages:

1) Attention - Preparing to flash, please press OK now and wait... (I press OK)

2) Fatal Error - Please make sure the device is properly synced; please retry syncing the device (via Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center)

...The next step gives a path to download a .CAB file that I had to run on the phone. After this the Automatic mode worked.

Thanks for your help guys!

50% battery when flashing ROM

Hi,

I am wondering why the warnings state that before flashing, you need to ensure you have at least 50% battery. The flashing only takes a minute or so..

Could anyone tell me why?

No major crisis or anything, just curious :)

Thanks,

PB
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
For safety :)

Plus the Rom Update Utility checks your phones batery level before flashing and wont allow you to flash if the level is under 50%.

If you are familiar with Android already, but are not satisfied with the speed of your system, you might want to try a smaller release, without senseui, etc.

In this case, I recommend you to go to the Google Code: Android for Vogue website.

On this site, you will always find the latest kernels, rootfs's, etc..

The file list of a working Android (on the root of your formatted card):

default.txt

haret.exe

initrd.gz

rootfs.img

system.img

zImage

The default.txt of your Android on a Nike should look like this:

set RAMSIZE 0x07000000

set RAMADDR 0x10000000

set FBDURINGBOOT 0

set MTYPE 1724

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=1 ppp.apn=wnw ppp.username= ppp.password= board-kaiser-battery.battery_capacity=1800 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=20000000 pm.sleep_mode=1 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=1 board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=1"

boot

With these settings, you have keyboard working, power button ends the call, start button is Home, camera button is menu.

Feel free to combine the files, test zImage's, system.img's.

Remember, for a clean start, the only files that should be on the card are listed above. If you leave the previous data.img created at the first start of Android when trying out a new kernel, or system.img, there can be issues, maybe system fail.

Regards, Hope i could help some.

Questions are welcome, i may make a FAQ from them. :)

Is it possible to get my windows mobile contacts working on android?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Neuromancien:
Good question, I have the same...

I think it possible through Outlook, exporting to Gmail, but I didn't try this...

Another question; you speak about "board-htckaiser[...]" and the wiki speak about "board-htcnike[...]" is the same options for the two commands ? I'have tested board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=2 for my AZERTY 20keys nike and it work fine...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] natty_c:
wm contacts

Yep, you have to copy your contacts to the SIM card, and then in Android, you can access, and copy them to the local storage, and you can also sync them with your Google account, and also, you can link your contacts with Facebook or Twitter users. It will display their picture, news, and birthdays automatically.

So, suppose I want to play an xvid-encoded AVI. Windows Media Player won't play it. I could perhaps install CorePlayer, but would prefer not to have to pay the $30 if I can possibly avoid it. I tried installing TCPMP (version 0.72RC1) but this errors on launch.

Any other suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
My best advice if you're looking for free is to try some of the pre .72rc1 TCPMPs and see if you get lucky. I've used that program for many moons, and assuming it doesn't react badly to the TP2's resolution or something else, I'd like to continue to use it for a while.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
Actually... do I want the "PocketPC" or "smartphone" version?

Edit: decided I probably wanted the PocketPC version, and tried installing version 71, 70 and 66. No dice. Earlier versions describe themselves as "unstable" so I'm reluctant to experiment with them.

Any other suggestions? Anybody? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
Aha! Discovered a version of TCPMP that runs on the TP2 without erroring:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3275845&postcount=172

You need to go into Options/Settings... and choose the DirectDraw page, then tick the "Use blitting instead of overlay" box.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
Thanks :) , I've bookmarked and downloaded. That's one of the first apps I install on a new download, and it would have been very sad to have to find a new one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
Of course, many people nowadays use CorePlayer which is the improved successor-product to TCPMP - but it isn't free.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
It will depend on performance for TCPMP as to whether I seek out a payware app, but CorePlayer's features are mostly things I don't need. I have an HTPC, convert all content to xvid, and that's the stuff I want to watch on my TP2.

Coreplayer does streaming some extra formats and lots of goodies, but none are things I really want at the moment.

hi everybody is there any way to have the new manila 2.5 as a cab installer and then as a panel like i used to do whit manila 2.1? thanks :)

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Salvestro:
This is a really good idea...who can help XDA members?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Lokatho:
Actually I can't recommend installing TF3D by cab, because it consists of a lot (and I mean a lot, certainly 2.5!!) of files. And installing it by cab will make a huge impact on the system.

The first TF3D for X1 was available as a cab, but the diffence between installing by cab or cooked in where huge. TF3D by cab had all sorts of quirks and was slow a h*ll.....

FOr example, the manila 2.1 package alone is almost 40mb (and 2.5 is even bigger) so you end up with a cab of about 50mb.

But back to the point, haven't seen a cab of manila 2.5 (and there probably will not be one for the above reason).
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] -=W1S3=-:

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Flash a ROM!

It would be really pointless to have a cab of 2.5, it would slow down your whole device and would barely run!

if you want 2.5, to the easiest and best way, flash to one of our chef's great ROMS!

I think that Valkyrie 3.2 is the best....but there are others....like NRG's wwe energyrom....and ITJE TOUCHIT LEO...

if you want 2.5 you need to flash!

and as far as a panel goes...it would be relativley pointless if you are already using 2.5 as your homescreen....

and if you are a NEWB....you should look and search into 2.5, the threads and roms before opening relatively pointless threads...

just my 2 cents
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Fr@:
You are right, apart from the fact that (as stated out in my recent thread) you are supposing that everyone is in love with WM6.5.

its a bit confusing, you have to download EnableRapi.cab first and install it. (in wont work the other way around, i tried it.

than you install the new manila 2 cab to internal memory. (that takes about 2 hours + in the tread are 3 different manilla cab files and only one has landscape i think, the beta3 but just use my link)

i have direct links to the files

EnableRapi cab: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=300592 (you have to scroll down a bit till you see the file)

manila 2 cab: http://rapidshare.com/files/218194087/TF3DHDB3.cab

and about the speed of manila 2, i have it installed one week ago and it crashed 1 time so far because i pressed accidently on picture presentation and than on weather tab and than switched to landscape (that was too much xD). and tabs like programs, settings and weather always take some time to show up. (about 2-4 seconds) all other tabs are fast once they loaded the first time. landcape switch takes always around 4 secounds, never longer.

and someone said its a huge impact on the device to install a 45mb cab file, and that might be true, but i have installed like 3 different manilas and this one 3 times (and uninstalled again, it never worked because i always forgot something) i never hardresetted the x1 after all the installing and it still works quiet good.

yes, i understood all you're saying, so i know that a rom with manila 2.5 in it will run better. Now that i know it, i'd like to know if with a rom like this will be possible to run the manila as a panel instead of run it as the standard today screen. I want this option just because i like to change today home screen very often and also because if i have manila 2.5 in use in the today and i open another panel, it will still run in backgroung, making the whole phone go slower...

I have been reading around on the net for a few hours and this looks to be a very common problem after switching computers and setting up a new partnership.

I cant believe WMDC is suppose to act this way! It says you have to delete a partnership and since your other PC is gone you delete the partnership. You expect that the device will populate outlook on the desktop or if outlook is not on the desktop then nothing will be touched.

But NO,,, microsoft is set up to delete all your precious data from your phone without warning!!!

is there a way to backup the ext3 partition? when flashing Drizzys ROM you must have a clean ext3 to do initial boot. without clean ext3 you get a bootloop. Ive flashed his ROMS several times and i want to flash a new cyans 4.0.1 but im afraid that ill lose my apps.

If you have adb up and running you can adb pull /system/sd/app (some directory on your computer) to make a back up the adb push (same dir from above) /system/sd/app if you don't have adb then i do not know
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
If you ant to go from Drizzy to Cyan you should be fine. Just wipe and flash Cyan.

For fututre refrence, to back up your ext, go in to the recovery console

mkdir /sdcard/app/
mkdir /sdcard/app-private/
cp /system/sd/app/* /sdcard/app
cp /system/sd/app-private/* /sdcard/app-private

All that does is make the "app" and "app-private" folders on the fat32 partition of your sdcard and copies the apps to them from the ext3 partition (the mount point of ext3 is /system/sd).

To push them back after flashing a new ROM (again from recovery, don't do this from the terminal when your phone is on):

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cp /sdcard/app/* /system/sd/app/
cp /sdcard/app-private/* /system/sd/app-private

This time was also have to mount the ext3 as re-writeable so we can copy to it.

Hope that helps.

To be fair the phone is actually referred to as the HTC G1.

Hopefully this is ok to post here since it is a request for dream development. Sorry in advance if this belongs in Q/A or something.

The #1 thing I miss from my old Sanyo dumb-phone was the TTS ringer. When ever I received a call, my phone would:

"beeeep, incoming call from ([name] or "unknown-caller")"

I found this very handy as if my phone was out-of-pocket in my home, I could decide to get off the couch and get it or not without moving a muscle.

I have searched all over for the same basic TTS functionality in both WinMo and now Android but have not found anything.

Is it even possible within the Android system to use the TTS service to speak the contact name on incoming call instead of a ringer?

EDIT: And while I'm posting development requests, I would also like to see an app that lets you re-assign buttons (like vol+/- could page up and down unless there is sound playing, and the camera button which does nothing in Hero could be assigned to launch an app [HTC Camera] or even bring up a menu of apps to select from). They have lots of button programs for WinMo, but I've seen none for android.

I imagine someone could cobble together an application that could sense the ringtone call and hijack the audio, and then just use the TTS library to speak out the name / phone number, with "Incoming call from" prepended.

You want TTS ringer... well I want TTS Notifications linked to any notification I enable.

ex. "Open home download completed", "you have 30 tweets", "USB connected", "You have a text message from XXX, Dictate?"

It may not have artificial intelligence.. but after how many years we have had technology and computers... couldn't we train it to be intelligent for us? You can train a dog to sit... so how come we can't program our phones to verbally say "Plug me in! Battery LOW!", "Open Wifi Signal in range", "So-n-So's birthday is today, bought them a gift?"
