[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bazaa:
Thank you! Unfortunately, it seems that it doesn't work on my device... Are there any other options?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelendel:
It is not free but It is worth it. I have used it for almost a year now with no issues. It will even work for emails. Inboxtones
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DMC78:
The PIM app Pocket Informant does this I believe, its at webis.net its an excellent app but not free
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigevs:
Photo Contacts Pro will do this nicely along with a wonderful profile manager. It isn't free, and is a bit of a resource hog, but is super cool.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bazaa:
Inboxtones seems the best out of those for me :) Thanks to everyone!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jokes On You:
Is it possible to get this to work for ringtones that are stored on a storage card?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelendel:
It works with them. You just have to make a folder on storage card named sounds, and place them in there
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jokes On You:
Ok cool I'll try that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elosogrande7076:
Those that are using InboxTones, are u able to backup your settings? I tend to flash my phones a lot and would like to easily back them up. THanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelendel:
There are reg settings that you can backup I am sure. I flash alot ( more lately lol ) so I have not even installed it in like a month but I will do it today and set it up and find the settings that can get backed up
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elosogrande7076:
Greatly Appreciated! Im currently using Phonealarm mainly due to this feature and being able to back it up and if i can find something else that can do the job i might be moving away from PA....thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelendel:
Ok Sorry it is taking so long but it looks like it is getting written to a dll file. I am getting ahold of the programmer to find out what file it is getting written to. As Soon as I hear back I will let you know
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elosogrande7076:
No problem, thanks for ur efforts
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temjin:
Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a better way of making the Hero display home addresses in the contact book? By default it seems to put them in a "Find Home" field which fails to display the entire address unless you go onto Google Maps.

Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] darfri:
I manage to get IP to IP connections with my laptop over Wifi and over USB activesync. But not when activesync is connected via bluetooth. Now why is that? For example the proggie called mobile panel (which is a promotional app for sms control center) doesn't work because of that. Neither does ftp server (PPC side) based file sync. And of course outlook sync runs perfect in those conditions. Any suggestions?

Solved, a bit: this is the "Enable Advanced Networking" found in USB activesync mode... but it is buggy anyway for most of the users
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coopaman:
I loaded jacheroskivr1.5 last night and everything was fine(even the leds were working) all of a sudden it cuts off, it takes a few minutes for it to come back on if at all, then it freezes so i wiped the phone now its bootloopin..

wtf happened and wtf do i do?:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Did you re flash the rom after? Maybe try repartitioning your sd or atleast wiping your ext2/3.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coopaman:
I can't because im at work right now, but i don't understand what actually happened. It was working fine all day and then it just started cutting off on its own, not even resetting but just cutting off all together.

I don't think i should've wiped it..

so f'n tired of repartitioning my sd card casue with all the music/photos/vids its takes up to an hour for me to transfer it all back from my back up...

So repartition, and flash rom again.. got it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Yea I have no idea why it went screwy on you but my guess to fix it would be wipe, repartition, then flash. Someone else here with more knowledge might know why it happened to begin with.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Don't wipe on hero, ever. It will always give you a bootloop.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Here's what I do if I find myself in a bootloop.

Wipe the EXT2/3 partition from console

(press enter)

#

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

wipe in recovery

repair ext partitions (twice if the first time fails)

reflash.

Always fixes any problems I have.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bonsatsu:
Hey all. I was trying to get my mac's address book app to sync with my google contacts and I accidentally erased all my google contacts, which then synced to my phone!

I have a Nandroid backup of my contacts however, but whenever I restore them, android re-syncs and deletes them. Taking a look at the SQL for the contacts, there appears to be a sync time and sync version number. Is there a way I can change this to make it re-sync from my phone to google contacts? If so, what do I have to change it to?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
I would nandroid restore to when you had all your contacts, make sure you don't let it sync (disable data/wifi). Make a backup of your contacts using MyBackup Pro, then let it sync, restore your contacts with MyBackup Pro (they'll save as phone contacts I believe instead of Google Contacts). Then sync again (uncheck the box and recheck it should get it to sync again) and it should re-upload all your contacts back to Google. Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bonsatsu:
Thanks for the advice. Since the restore I had was of a faulty build, I couldn't access the data settings fast enough before it started to sync, so I just took the contacts.db file and re-added my contacts manually.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
So can you use AdressBook.app to edit your google contacts (do they sync with google's servers)?
[HTC Excalibur] lotherius:
If you've got a silver dash (not sure about black) that is still under warranty and have been putting off an exchange for any issues it has had - now is the time to call. Some customers may be able to get an alternate exchange for the dash 3g at no cost or contract, plain and simple exchange due to the low supply of refurb dashes. An alternate exchange is a new phone not refurb as well so this is awesome if you still have a warranteed dash. A little birdie told me this. No word on if this is a permanent or temporary alternate.
[HTC Excalibur] slipknotfn:
Actually it is for a $50 minimum rebate on a new HTC device. And it ends at close of business TODAY! I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and they said as long as your old HTC device is not broken, damaged, the screen works, not leaking, no water damage, no corrosion and the hinge still works you can trade it in for money towards a new device. But it ends TODAY, 8-25-09. So that kinda bites the big one. This is according to someone I spoke to at T-Mobile about 5 minutes ago. If it were true I was gonna go trade mine in asap. But like Grandpop always said, "If it's too good to be true........." Hate to be the one to burst anyones bubble. I just burst my own. :(
[HTC Excalibur] lotherius:
Different deal. Basically I'm talking about warranty exchange - you're talking about a trade-in program. Basically older devices at end of life, can often get alternate exchanges for a newer device. But you do not call up for the alternate exchange - you only get it if you've got a technical problem that requires an exchange, when they pull up the exchange form it will show "alternate exchange" in some cases. If you called up T-Mobile and asked them straight up to send you the dash 3g, of course they'd send you the upgrade path :)
[HTC Excalibur] slipknotfn:
So basically you have to have a Dash that is still under some kind of warranty and has an 'issue'. Then since there aren't anymore of these to offer they have no choice but to offer you a new Dash 3G. Is this the basic idea here? Well mine is a little over 2 years old so I would not qualify anyway. I do carry insurance but yeah no more warranty from the manufacturer I am sure. Too bad.
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Nice! Then you can go run my new ROM in the Maple Forums. :)
[HTC Excalibur] returnofsid:
This does work!! I recently received my second Dash (silver) as a warranty replacement. The new one had a separate issue. While on the phone with handset warranty replacement, I asked about the G3. I was told no, but when she entered it into the computer as an option, it was accepted. Just received the Dash G3 yesterday and am loving it. Only issue I'm having is that the old dash screen is blank and I have no way of getting my contacts off of it, so far. Mobile Device Manager won't work, as I don't have Outlook. Still looking for options to retrieve contacts off of old dash.
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
I have warrenty replacement of a dash 1 on the way because some of the keys stopped working. They didnt offer the D3g but said I could get a new g1 through my insurance if I wanted to. So do I have to ask? What do I say because they told me the warrenty only covers the same phone?
[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
This is exactly how I got my first Dash. I had the SDA, and it had a reception issue around where I lived. They sent a replacement - same issue. Then I asked about an alternate exchange for the Dash instead, and they said they could do it.
[HTC Excalibur] IfYoureFeelingSinister76:
Hmmm, I will have to check that out! I have the black Dash though so not totally sure if it will work the same way. Many thanks for the helpful info!
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
I got the alternate exchange but they only one they offered was the 09 shadow brand new in the box. Its for my daughter anyway. I think shell like it better, it seems more girly than a dash:p.
[HTC Excalibur] yggdrasil:
Just called them.

Just called them up for my boss whos dash got dog chewed and they said they would send a regular old dash :(.

oh well.
[HTC Excalibur] rrgongora:
Same here.

Have had a problem with the phone randomly turning off. Called for a replacement and they offered the same DASH or a Shadow. Stuck with the DASH. Should have it in a few days...maybe in a few months I can get the 3g when it's time for an upgrade.
[HTC Excalibur] lotherius:
These offers change all the time.... glad to see it has worked for some.
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
I had a dream last night I got the 3g in the mail. I was so happy.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PJ@y-Z:
Hi everybody !

I've two questions :

1. Does cingular 8125 support miniSD 4GB? what about HC type ?

2. I can't connect to my linksys wireless router through Wi-Fi if I choose WPA-PSK.

WEP works fine. And is there anyway to add WPA2 without flashing to WM6 ?

I don't want to use third-party ROMs :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PJ@y-Z:
Anyone? :(

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
At last, someone is interested in movies ;)

Its great, I found that a movie was shot at a location right behind my house in 2007 - with Gillian Anderson !!! And I never knew.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mtzgr:
Awesome! The Name Of The Rose with Sean Connery was shot 1 km from my current location in my birthyear... (Mainz, Germany)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Phil_UK:
Squareheads? Watched it only last week!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Cool, is it worth getting ?

Be good to spot the location used.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Phil_UK:
Not for the faint hearted. Film four funded so expect will be on tv if has not already!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Original link which includes everything! (HERE)

here is the repacked system/data folder (HERE)

this is a new build 1.79.482.3"most stable in my opinion, I did the port to the g1 and its fast as hell, I wonder how it would be on the actual hero device hmmm... im sure Paul will do something with this ;)"

Thanks Haykuro! hope you all enjoy!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
GREAT! but how do i get this on my hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vpstriderz:
anyone tried this yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
I guess if you have the unbranded version . It would be just running the RUU and done!!!!!! hehehe . Many thanks. will try it out right away
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sykow:
Gonna try this right now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
i have the unbranded version but excuse my ignorance and could you please tell me what a RUU is aha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brampower:
Please let me know if it is fast cuz i might try it :D thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
try running the ruu!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
oh yea it super fast!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
RUU is a "Radio Unit Upgrade" RUU is the name of the upgrade package for the OS ROM, It comes as a desktop Windows installer that holds both the ROM image and the software needed to get that image from your desktop PC to the Wallaby

But please forget this name, it is confusing because it upgrades the Radio Rom & the OS ROM, or only one of them!

hope this helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
thanks but where do i find it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
dont know I dont have a hero, but maybe you can find the custom ruu updater from someone in the forum! try searching for a "windows RUU" try one that lets you run the hero.img im sure one is out there!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
we indeed do have a problem here cause the file is in zip format. so far havent seen any RUU for the hero. guess will have to wait till morning for the chefs to help us out .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
download 7-zip and convert it to a .rar
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
i'm sorry but i really have no idea how to put this on my hero, could anyone that has already done it or that is in the process of doing it help me out, thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ras4life:
is this a leak of the official update from HTC? that was meant to be coming soon?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
yes. :) thanks but that was not what i meant. i meant that it was not in the expected .exe format like the custom htc roms. tried to rename to update.zip and to apply through recovery mode but didnt work. any other ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] christonge:
Awesome thanks for posting Drizzy Drake Rogers :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
can anyone help me through this update ? ive downloaded the 2 files but now im stuck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piflechien:
I have an unbranded version and tried flashing it with the official RUU (by renaming the zip to rom.zip), but getting a wrong vendor ID message :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
Thanks for posting these Drizzy.

I have a spare hour on my hands, so I'm going to have a crack at getting it onto my hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zyborg:
No nandroid.md5

I followed this guide

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...and-your-orange-t-mo-etc-device-via-nandroid/

to flash my Hero with this image, but I'm getting this error:-

"nandroid.md5 not found, cannot verify backup data".

Is it because this image is not a nandroid image?

If so, and if someone successfully flashes this image to their Hero, can they please do a nandroid backup of it and post it here? Thank you. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
Nevermind, all good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
An idea came at the last minute reading all sorts of forums. You could rename to update.zip and move it to the sd card.

Enter recovery console, perform a wipe from there and install the update.

N.B I already tried without wiping but didnt work out. I am off now. hope something works out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
Looks like the new HBOOT will need to be flashed before the image can be used.

I'm hesitant to flash the hboot though, as it seems I will need to erase the current hboot first... then if flashing the new one fails I'll be the proud owner of a brick... Unless someone can provide the hboot for the original ROM (or a method to extract it from the device)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sykow:
Hmm, chances are these files are bogus.

I got into RUU, tried to push the HEROIMGblabla file renamed to rom.zip and I get a custom ID... Update Fail!

OR

We need to update the HBOOT.. Which might be difficult, or not. I have no idea!

Maybe the problem is, is that the updates needs the newer HBOOT

EDIT:

How to get into RUU Mode:

take out the battery, insert the battery, press off/hang up + back.

Once you're in fastboot, type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

So, now your Hero is in RUU mode.

How do we erase and flash the HBOOT thingy?

EDIT2:

Ladies N Gents, I present you the first Hero brick! hboot flashing went bad, now it's just dead.

This release is no good. For your device's sake, wait for the official HTC release!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
Cheers for that info on RUU mode, that may be helpful.

As for updating the hboot... I would not suggest anyone actually do this unless they know what they are doing. If the flashing of the new hboot fails and you turn off your phone, you will now have a brick...

See the following if you are not convinced:

Probably best to wait for someone with more experience on the matter (Paul?) before attempting anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
I sure ain't flashing this until someone figures out how to get it working!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
aha minogue i double that ive been asking like crazy about how to flash this but now im glad i didnt figure it out ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
i actually just tried putting a zip together and flashing that but since that didnt work i just restored my backup and now All i will do is WAIT.

I'm crazy about getting this working though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
haha im crazy about this to, why isnt it as simple as i thought it would be? is it that difficult or are the files corrupt?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
im guessing because the files still need to be put together as an update.zip. Once that is done all we have to do is flash it.. but lets hope Drizzy Rogers gets this done for us.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
alright fair enough, i'm sure he'll be right on this though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zyborg:
Doesn't work. I tried flashing his "Full-V0.2.zip" as update.zip and all I ending up with was a device that wouldn't boot at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JC_Miller:
so is this going to be fixed soon or not?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sykow:
I've made it behave like a rom.zip, I've manually pushed the rom.zip, tried it via the windows RUU, tried the update.zip, tried the restore-from-backup trick..

Nothing works because the HBOOT isn't compatible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
That sucks dude :(

What happened exactly? Did you erase and try the new hboot only to have it fail the sig check?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlightener:
DON'T FLASH THE SPL, it may brick your device :eek:

Will be updating my radio as soon as I get home. My Hero has the standard recovery.img and I don't have admin rights on my office notebook to install ADB and do a fastboot to update the radio :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lcw622:
updated the radio from the MoDaCo's Link...

everything work's fine... hopfully the signal will be better...@@"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
Nice analysis. How about the other components included in the update, Paul?

I.e. is it safe to install system/boot roms?

You were saying it doesn't have super-fast Rosie, so I am assuming that means you have installed and had a play with it... How did you go about doing that? If you have an update-script file I could use that would be helpful... I can create the update.zip and sign it from here ok.

Cheers,

Brett.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I have a S-OFF bootloader, so I just flashed it via fastboot. I'm creating the update.zip now.

hboot is probably not worth installing (can be installed via update.zip if required, but I don't see much point?), recovery image is pointless as we use a better one anyway.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlightener:
use one of the update-scripts from modaco's update.zip http://android.modaco.com/content/h.../26-08-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Added leaked HTC Generic 1.79.482.3 in update.zip form to my repository - I don't recommend using my rootpack on this version, I will post a rooted version shortly.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
Thanks Paul, I have flashed the new radio and system/boot roms from your repository and all appears to be well :)

Though, as you say it is still the same old Rosie... At least the clock still flips each time the home screen is loaded.

Technical question: does the system img component NEED to be extracted to be flashed to the device? Seems odd that it does, but every rom update for hero/sapphire seems to have the file extracted...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
It needs to be extracted unless you have a s-off (security off) bootloader (aka SPL), which isn't 'in the wild' for the Hero as yet.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
Thanks for clarifying. I guess we'll have to wait for this s-off version of yours to appear in the wild then ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
First question, maybe a little of topic. Your custom rom are a custom boot.img and custom system files which come in a signed update? So one should have the same stock firmware version preinstalled and then apply the update?

Second question: Does the S-on/S-off SPL affect the update.zip (can you apply an unsigned update.zip with a S-off SPL?)

Third question: S-off SPL is something like dev-SPL or HardSPL on the Dream device?

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
1. You don't technically need stock firmware, as it wipes the system partition.

2. No.

3. Yes.

:-)
