it remembers the paid apps across phones, but not the free apps.

free apps are linked to your account, but only seem to re-appear on the same phone. they also disappear if not re-installed when market is force stopped or has it's cache cleared.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k3vin11:
Thanks for the replies, you were right.

I sent my phone back to mobiles.co.uk on friday, this morning I collected it's replacement from the post office. I emailed copilot last thursday explaining the issue, I didn't receive a response but copilot stopped working on friday morning.

I am in the process of setting up the new phone now, I've added my google account, when I went to market and my downloads, copilot is there, its currently downloading again. Very slick.

I made a list of all my other apps, I will now add them back on and I should be back to where I was last thursday. Excellent, no dead pixels either, bonus.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tofrost:
you also can use ATRO File Manager with the build-in app-manger (or download the app-manager itself) to backup evervy app (the .apk files) to your SD Card. If you reset your device, or change it, you can afterwards just reinstall all the apps fromt the sd-card!

Also can I re-mapp the 'phone' softkey and the 'back arrow' key to display my shortcuts i.e. Word and excell documents.

Thanks

Hi :)

in order to explore wm 6.5, i want to flash the EnergyROM Series (Standard) on my touch diamond. i read all the manuals and feel quite prepared. but theres just one question i can't figure out:

is a hardspl needed for EVERY device to be flashed, even the ones with original htc roms and no branding, or do just provider branded roms need a hardspl to be installed?

thanks for your answers :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] b00kl33ch:
Hello

Yes you need to HARD-SPL all devices to make the ROM think that they are super CID.

Good luck, although sounds like your doing the right thing read, read then read some more. Best to be safe.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Polluxus:
The moment you want to flash custom roms you'll need HardSPL. Without it you can only flash original HTC stock roms. Branded or non-branded, doesn't matter.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hebbe:
thanks a lot for the quick replies! you helped me a lot.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilkro:
I've just rooted to Cyanogen's 4.0.1 last night and I'm having some issues:

All of the default Android ringtones are gone; the ones that came with the phone. I've installed Rings Extended and my custom ringtones are available, but when I try to select a ringtone from "Android System," Android System shows the same ringtones found in Rings Extended but not the ones that it should be showing. How do I get them back and behaving properly?

Also, all of my contacts with custom ringtones have been cleared. Will I have to re-select these ringtones each time I upgrade a rom? Is there an easy way to backup custom contact ringtone information?

Similarly, I have several email accounts. Will I have to set each and every one up each time I flash the rom? Is the data missing from my Mileage application gone forever?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
I have some bad news....if you didn't backup any of this data, then yes, everything is gone and you will have to set it up manually. The good news is that you can use Backup for root users in the future to backup email, contacts and other things. I don't think the mileage app is included in there but if you want to know where the database for this program is stored you will have to explore the /data/data from adb or terminal. From there look for a file in the format similar to com.mileage.android or some variation on that. With that file, there should be a database folder and user pref folder. Back those up next time before a wipe then restore them to the new place and you should be good to go.

As far as the ringtones, they are in cyanogen's post where his stable build is under a heading of Audio Resources (unzip to your SD card). Unzip them to your sd card and place the ringtones in a folder labeled "media" and your phone will automagically recognize them and you can setup your contacts again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilkro:
If I restore my nandroid's backup status, will I get these things back? Meaning, go to bootloader, restore what was backed up, download "Backup for Root Users," run it, then re-root the phone?

But this will simply put the android ringtones mixed in with my custom ones, right? So it's not possible to keep them under the separate heading of "Android System?"
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
That is a good question. It would seem that it should work because the point of a nandroid backup is to get you back to exactly where you were before you started. I would say if you have some time, restore your nandroid, download the backup app and then install your choice of custom rom again. Remember if your making a lateral move, then you don't need to wipe. (ie upgrading from one CM build to another)

I also think you are getting your steps and/or terminology confused. If you created a nandroid backup before you lost all your settings, then you were already rooted. You cannot create a nandroid backup without having root access. So when you say re-root the phone, I assume you mean install another custom rom....??

The is a way around this but it requires some knowledge of the android file system structure and some basic commands. You can push the ringtones through adb or terminal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
I was about to say the same thing. If he just rooted then when was the nandroid done. Only if it was done on RC29.

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] gitcheye:
I am having problems upgrading my Treo 750 from Windows Mobile 6.0 to 6.1 standard. I have run the Cheetah unlocker program. I formatted the card and put the radio program on it. Inserted and ran bootloader mode. The screen turns red, green, white and stays that way permanently. I eventually have to pull the card and reset the device. It comes up and works as usual with wm 6.0.

Is my phone not unlocked?

Is the radio program no good?

Any ideas?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] startngate:
Hard to say, but I suspect you either haven't successfully run the unlocker program, or have not formatted the SD card correctly.

BTW - Upgrading a radio would not get you from 6.0 to 6.1 it would only upgrade the radio, so make sure you have downloaded the proper file.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] gitcheye:
Understood. I have tried both the radio and the cheeimg.nbh file. Both have the same problem. How long should the upgrade take once the bootloader reads the card (so I know how long to wait until I try something else)?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] startngate:
Mine goes to a gray screen immediately with an 'update in progress' bar ... takes about 2 minutes to flash the new ROM.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] neggie:
i was just woundering on this question cuz att send it to me to replace my tilt but they stated they did NOT want the tilt back i got a refurbished with all oem stuff fuze upon tweaking hardslp ext and the thing is still slow sluggish ext the phone it self is nice screena dn all feels nice in hand but damn long lag when trying to access anything this includes after i remvoe bloatware and do the whole newbie thread here. even when i use that stupid stylis never works right .. am i doing something wrong should i keep it or stick with my tilt?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
The fuze is twice as powerful as the tilt. Its well worth it.

You just beed to flash a custom ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] neggie:
ok that i have not done yet cuz i did flash to the new att rom that came out few months ago but not a custom one ill try that before i put it all back to normal and rtn it i have 14 days anyways so ill do that today and see how it runs thanks Bruce

btw how you like that rom you are using now
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
When I first got my Fuze it wasn't up to par with my Tilt, but after I learned the device and cooked my own ROM, I love it.

I stayed with an older WM 6.5 build because it seems to be stable, but I haven't tried any of the new builds that have come out.

There are some chefs releasing new versions all the time. I just cook for my personal consumption as I don't have time to support a ROM on this forum.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] neggie:
HUMMMMM i haved NEVER cooked so i just might take a read read (lol) and try it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Start here and you'll learn in no time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Cassetti:
Hmm, have you looked at the clarity of the screen??

There are a LOT of advantages over the tilt:

* Ascetically the fuze is way more beautiful than the tilt

* The Fuze has a 5 row keyboard (though AT&T removed the control key)

* The LED flash makes for a great Flashlight with the use of an application cooked into most roms (use mine many times a week on average)

* Stylus is magnetic on the fuze (and also a sensor for detecting if the stylus is removed)

* form factor is a little bit smaller than the tilt

Only real advantage i see is that the tilt screen well... tilts

But thats the only thing missing if you ask me.

I never heard of a replacement upgrading to a better phone, consider yourself very lucky! (and if you aren't happy, sell the phone on ebay and buy a tilt, pocketing the extra cash!)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] neggie:
just wanted to say im happy with the fuze thanks to all the replys !!! im currenty running it with NATF V4.7 rom 6.1 slick as well. gonna hunt for another stable fast good ROM any sugg let me know as now i like this one thanks again all !!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Try some 6.5 ROMs, I think you'll like them.

Glad you're enjoying your phone! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] petard:
Is your old Tilt broken? Did you get the replacement through warranty or through insurance? Odd that they wouldn't want the Tilt back. What is wrong with it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
Give one of the 6.5 roms a try, you WILL love em...I know I like the one I'm running (RRE's). The new "finger friendly" icons, larger easier to use menus. I hardly use the stylus anymore. I've been using windowsCE/windows mobile all the way back to the Dell X5 days, so it's taken a couple weeks to get use to not trying to click in the upper left corner for the start menu with the new 23034 & up interface.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] neggie:
yeah that is what i though the tilt they did not want back and i found out just this weekend it was the battery got a new one online and now the i have the tilt now as well
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] neggie:
yeah ill check that rom out u have on your signature. I also say a rom called Energy rom as well probably check that one out as well
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dragoon.nl:
I'm having the same problem but not with every rom (don't know wich ones, tested almost every rom hero) So is this a piece of software wich shows the live that doesn't work ?? or is it the battery ? As i can see it it's depending on rom thus it's not hardware

But hey I'm n00b :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daniel.bigred:
i've noticed that a soft reset or power up will use 3-7% of battery depending on the weather (what else could it be :))

don't have the ability to discharge but i agree that in many cases the battery usage drops drastically & there is no reasonable cause :(

hope someone can figure this out!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] STM123:
From 4pda.ru

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=85754&st=100&p=2338080&#entry2338080

1. discharge the battery completely (by playing video, audio, etc.)

2. Remove the battery and wait about 1min then place it back (do not power on the phone)

3. Full Charge the phone, wait when LEDs stop blinking (do not power on the phone)

4. When fully charged - remove the battery (do not power on the phone)

5. Wait about 1min then place the battery to the phone and now you can power it on.

If battery is more or less OK it will re-calibrate.

I hope it will help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
Thanks. I tried those steps yesterday and my phone is pretty much behaving the exact same way after the battery cycle.

After all the steps, the battery shows it's 100%. I unplug it, and it drops to 97% within MINUTES literally. Now I plug it back in, and it takes forever to get from 97% back to 100% (> 1hour)

I think it may be a battery problem and not a calibration problem. The drain averages ~ 120-150mA when phone on, screen on, no data, and below 100mA with phone on in standby mode. That seems pretty typical? I'd think the battery should last longer than 8 hours (till it completely dies) in that case.

Where do you guys suggest I buy a new battery for the Diamond (other than HTC directly)? I bought one from DealExtreme but the battery runs ~ 10C hotter than normal all the times ... I don't think I want that as my primary battery.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] losdrivare:
If you get through a full day with moderate-heavy use on your battery, I say that is normal and good battery life on a Diamond. So, why bother that the percentage is not proportional? I would not get a new battery for this since the problem is only in the reported percentage, not the battery life itself.

I've had plenty of cars that went from full to half tank on the meter significantly faster than from half to almost empty. You know about it and adapt to it, simply. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JoOoSs:
Hello !

I'm understand you, i have a ELF (Touch P3450), and a Diamond, the same problem appear for the two phones!

Every Morning, when i disconnect from charge my diamond, my level battery go to 93% in 10mns without reasons (One sms, no 3G, no Wifi etc).

My battery go down to 50~70% around 14H (2H pm), and stays at this level for many hours (4-5hours ~), i think it's not a problem with our battery, but a dysfunction of the sensor battery, which shows wrong data =/

By the way, that problem doesn't appear every day, for example, today my battery has that level : 83% (15h43), so today it has a good level.

Since i have flash that ROM : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=521941, with radio 1.13.25.24, i have less less issues with my battery, it's more stable!

That's all, hope that helps you.

I have searched both this forum and the entire internet for an answer and have still not found anything. I am thinking about upgrading to a new ROM and this is the only thing holding me back at the moment. I have used PIM Backup to backup all my messages, however it still does not support backing up MMS attachments.

Is there some automated way to backup/save MMS attachments other than manually going in and saving each one?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] spos86:
It is more than understood that the questio, what is the best ROM for my phone? Does not have a valid, absolute, answere. Its more of a whatever suits your needs.

But since the question still remains, and one can easily tell if a ROM is popular by the hits and posts on its corresponding thread. I think that a POLL where people simply say what is their favorite ROM and why, could be of some general help.

So in simple words just vote for your favorite ROM and if you want to, explain why it is your favorite ROM.

This is not a discussion or debate, its a POLL
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] spos86:
I Will add your nominees to the POLL as soon as you start posting
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Irisht:
My Fuze lost its virginity to NATF, had an affair with Chrome but in the end got married to EnergyRom. Much thanks to all of the Chefs and their hard work keeping us happy!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kameleongt:
^ that pretty much sums up my story haha
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] spos86:
Hey guys, a little help, this is the first time I start a poll, i limited it to 15 option but could only think of 2 when I started, how can I add Chrome series? Does a moderator have to do that or as the started of the thread I have to possibility to modify it?

Also could be useful to post as well as you probably did on the ROMS corresponding thread, what Radio seems to work good with your ROM. I like the EnergyROM + 1.14.25.35 Radio
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Myrddin Wyllt:
You pretty much have to include all the polling options before people start voting, otherwise it would skew your results anyways...You could have just gone down the first two pages of the ROM development board, and found over a dozen discrete ROMs, FWIW.

FWIW, I do prefer NRG ROMs, but only slightly. All of the most recent crop of Raphael ROMs seem to be cut from the same cloth. The only really interesting new ROM I've seen recently is the one from twopumpchump, and that's really only interesting to me because he pre-packaged a $#!+-load of CHome Panels into the ROM, to make 6.5 a little more feature-rich. At the end of the day, the functionality of even this different-looking ROM is pretty much the same as all other 6.5 ROMs. When I want maximum bang for home-screen action, I still revert to TF3D.

Show me a ROM with an actual unique and functional interface (and I'm not asking anyone to cook in a paid solution like spb mobile), and I will be your biggest spokes-hole ever. Until then, I'll sit on what I've already got.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
IMHO,

You poll will only provide value if you first create a checklist (criteria) by which to base the poll on. For example, the first post of the thread should list the functionality/features that one should use to make an informed POLL selection. Example sections could be:

Battery Consumption (1=poor, 5=great)

_ During call

_ During standby

_ During Wi-Fi

- During BT

Interface Speed (1=poor, 5=great)

_ Using TF3D

_ Using Native Mobile UI

Ease Of Use (1=poor, 5=great)

_ Shortcut (app) location

...

etc.

Once you create a comprehensive selection list, it would be necessary to shortlist the ROM's in the actual POLL. For example:

_ Energy 6.1 Std

_ Energy 6.1 Pro

_ Energy 6.5 Pro

_ NATF 4.0

_ NATF 4.5

...

etc.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] spos86:
Ok, I didnt have that in mind, Should I start a new one?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] burnblue:
I don't know if I like the idea of this poll. I was on one for a while, I went back to the other, I may try another.. Shouldn't signatures be enough? I like how the chefs do this because they like doing it, and I'd hate to see a popularity contest create any bad blood or jealous feelings.

The other more important thing is that the ROMS are changing all the time, and the 'best' one today may not be that tomorrow...

One thing about a poll like this being up on this forum is that newcomers may just buy their Raphael, come and see this, and pick the leading ROM without looking into the issue in depth, lurking on the different forums, or trying ROMS for themself. I'm glad I actually tried different ROMs instead of getting my loyalty immediately hooked on a favorite.

EDIT: It would however be a lot more scientific/harmless/useful if done as hilaireg suggested, feature by feature. Some ROMS are optimized for speed, some for battery.. some are flashy, some are barebones.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] spos86:
Ok, I agree with burnblue, I have pretty much tried every WinMo6.5 ROM out there, and for the meanwhile stuck with my personal favorite. I'd though that since there are a few radio polls why not make a ROM one just to see what people think about the ROMs they like. And it is clearly stated, this is not for discussions or flaming. It is of popular knowledge that ROMs are created to serve different needs therefore opinions are 100% subjective and not by any means objective. I will post a new thread tonight having in mind all the parameters mentioned above to improve the objectivity of the poll itself.

All suggestions are welcomed and if the majority think that such poll is of poor taste or will start "a popularity contest create any bad blood or jealous feelings." I will not post a new poll and request a moderator to remove this one as well.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jmckeejr:
I dont feel it would be a terrible idea since it could potentially reduce the number of new threads just to ask the same question. At least if there were one thread kept open questions could be sent to that thread :)

That said, I think my favorite ROM is Chrome :p , but also enjoyed Energy and NATF when I used them. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and like its been said one ROM could be the greatest for me, but be the worst for you just depending on personal preference. I prefer TF3D over Titanium, so do not put any extra plugins in titanium anymore. With the use of UC, SASHIMI, or any other user customization program you can have whatever plugins you want withiout installing them individually or using software to disable plugins you dont use.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jach707:
RRE rocks!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lavike:
I vote that we close the poll. Who cares if there are disenfranchised voters? The exit polls show a strong bias for switching ROMs. We'd then have to face the legal battles between NRG, NATF, and others. They'd want a recount and take it all the way to moderators! CLOSE THE POLLS!!!!

(Just joking here - couldn't resist0
