[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Case_:
Hi,

I've posted pretty much the same yesterday in the development section in Amon_RA recovery thread, but figured it wasn't the best thing to do, so I'm moving my questions here, where they have probably belonged all along...(and I'll edit my post there)

I'm not exactly noob when it comes to PC, Linux, phones and stuff, but I've been trying to make some sense of this SPL and radio stuff for days for the fear of bricking my phone (it's rather expensive, after all) and the more I read, the more confused I in fact become. It seems to me there's a lot of contradicting info available here in the forums.

First, I've got the 32A european HTC branded Magic:

PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

May 8 2009, 21:02:32

Now, on the thread about Amon_RA recovery, it says in big red letters "Make sure your phone is rooted and that you are using an engineerings SPL". Also, a few pages into the very same thread, there's this:

However, when I rooted my phone a few weeks back, I used Amon_RA recovery 1.2.0 - the latest at the time - without flashing it permanently to make nandroid backup of the unrooted phone and then to apply the necessary patches to root my phone succesfuly. Then I flashed the Amon_RA recovery without any problems directly into the phone and been using it since, even did some nandroid backups and restores without any problems at all. Should this even be possible without the engineering SPL (which I figure I don't have, it being .0009 and S-ON)? If I understood the SPL info correctly, it shouldn't, but I was still able to do it...So how come?

Also, can I perhaps try to flash some custom ROM for 32A without the risk of bricking the device? Am I right in my understanding that pretty much the only way to brick the phone is to start messing with radio and SPL? So is there any risk involved in just downloading a ROM, wiping the phone, flashing the update to see if it works without tampering with radio/SPL?

As for the Hero ROMs, once again, do I need to update radio and/or SPL to make them work or can I just try? And if I DO update them (I gather the .2005 SPL should work in my Magic, not really sure about radios, though) and I want to go back to my original ROM for some reason (given that I have nandroid backup available), will I be required to downgrade radio/SPL back as well (therefore be once again exposed to the risk of bricking the phone)?

Thanks for any clarifications on these. If someone can direct me to some clear info on the issues, I'll gladly take that, but as I've said, most of the informations I've dug out the past few days (and weeks, actually) only deepen my confusion. I'm quite sure my questions have probably been answered a lot of times before, but this forum is so packed with information it's becoming hard to actually find exactly what you're looking for, even if you try to do so. Thanks again.

I have a HTC Touch that I use on Tmobile. I just bought it on Ebay and put my SIM card in. It works fine. So is that an Elf or Elfin?

Can I put WM 6.5 on it and if so can you please direct me to the location to download it and instructions on how to install it?

Thanks!
[Touch GSM General] valkounnis:
hi,

I have an elf my self and I took the chance to install WM6.5 and to my surprise It works even better now.

I cant really help you with with the elf/elfin differences.sorry :)
[Touch GSM General] Rudegar:
http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374

press ctrl f type in

Wm6.5
[Touch GSM General] ZaLiTHkA:
The easiest way to tell is by the ammount of RAM/ROM it has... Go to Start > Settings > System > Device Information > Hardware tab, if the 'RAM size' shows 64MB it's an Elf, if it shows 128MB for RAM and 256MB for Flash then it's the Elfin. That was the only difference..

And yes, you can run WM6.5 on it, I'm running Onyx 5.0.2 ROM on mine (WM 6.5 Professional). The only thing to keep in mind is that many of the custom ROMs the guys remove the TouchFLO Cube (drag up on screen from HTC logo) so if you feel you can't live without it, you'll need to install it separately... :D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] :
i cant seem to get your psshutxp skin to work, i installed it but it is really small, and after installing the skin nothing changed, is there a wvga version that i can not seem to find?

Thnx for the fast reply's!

Good work!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
its working for me,this skin is just extracted and skinned,then i have put it in cab file.

this is a screenshot:

did you have this to?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] :
wierd, could you post the install cab from the psshutxp itself?

Then it should work.

And another thing, after i installed your taskbar icons something changed with my volume bar, i allways had the single volume bar, but after installing i am able to choose between the system volume and the ring volume, and because i am using a manila free rom i cant change it back, do you have a solution for that?

Thnx in advance
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
did i understand that your not using energyrom?because this skins are for preinstalled soft and for you volume problem,in energyrom there is an options to change it like you want...

i will search for it if you dont work with energyrom.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
psshutxp you can find here:http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-psshutxp.html
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] :
No sorry i am using duttys latest rom, and i tried the psshutxp from the given link and i still have a very small psshutxp screen, smaller than the screen posted.

Uuuuh, I'm updating when I get to mi PC. :)

With the last version of the Taskbar, I have the volume icons for silent and vibrating. Real nice, even with the little pixels left in the start Icon ;).

I was wondering... I went and put the background of your NRG theme in my netbook screen just out of fun, as it gets awfully stretched, would it be possible you create a 1024x600 wallpaper for the fanboys? :D

Congrats on your new thread!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jonathancano:
problem with wallpaper

not sure why but when i put the wallpaper on it looks like this. . .it looks like the wallpaper is too small and is tiled. . .help please!

Also. . .just a thought. . .you might want to skin the dialer/in call screen =)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fidalgos:
HI @DJCedric, all your cabs in this topic OK when I install on my version ROM (look my sig) and the only thing I can't not apply is your attached DJCedric_BlueWave.jpg :o I tick the Browse image on today (with Titanium enable and disable too) and I select your image but... no chance!

Another prob I see when I restart the device (I have Titanium enable/Manilla disable auto) but I don't know why... I see one box 'Manila Today Page' with one error = Unable to find Manila :( So... I tick on OK and disappear :confused:

Maybe... is one prob with something in Manilla (until today never use the interface Titanium) but when I see your works :D

Best Regards my friend from me and from PORTUGAL :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fidalgos:
Try replace your image wallpaper with my file... maybe you save the image with the right button without first expand the image :o
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jonathancano:
Same. . .could it be that i am using the titanium version of his rom and not the standard... I remember something about the wallpapers being resized. . .
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
yes i will create one for you.no problem :)when its done give me the link so i can see it ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
maybe i can skin it,il give it a try later,thanks :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
ok fidalgos,thanks for the feedback,for your picture,where did you find the picture?did you have download it in first post or did you have taken the one from the cab that you can find in main storage "my documents"?

because i think there is a bug somewhere and i will fix it,i had problems to with background picture,my picture was always broken for some reason...

chek my image file please and try to open it with album to see if the image is ok,also chek the size please.

For the other problem you have,i never have this before,maybe if you problem from the image is gone,this problem will follow.

Inever used titanium before to but because of the poor quality of manila i use more titanium...very nice screen now ,we have HD and did have HD quality in manila????
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
sorry guys,first wallpaper was not good,please try this wallpaper !!

Im trying to skin the dialer but i cant find the bottom part to make it black,can someone help me?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fidalgos:
HI @DJCedric,

I extract all my last backup with sprite backup explorer to one folder of my notebook... then I see folder by folder and sub-folders and file by file, and looking the folders in large thumbnail view and... I see many images formats but nothing like the bottom dialler images to help you.

Maybe this images are with attributes hide and cooked in ROM and don't show on my backup:o So... sorry but I have no way to help you and help us to your next work design :)

EDIT****

with Photo Viewer I see this images in Windows folder:

- Assets_dialer_Normal

- Assets_dialer_Pressed

- background (?)

- many files begin with bg_

- Conf_avatar

- Dialer_Normal L

- Dialer_pressed L

- dialpad_land

- dlrbtn_dwn_land , dlrbtn_dwn_land , dlrbtn_up_land , dlrbtn_up_port , dlrbtndef_dwn_land , and... many others begin with dlr (dialer?)

- PSch_Bg and PSch_Bg_Inv

Well... I don't know exactly what I search but in Windows folder have many image files and with a Photo Viewer and with your patience...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
Fine fidalgos,i have done exact the same as you but cant be shure wich files exacly are from the dialer bottom part...i dont give up and retry to search when im back home.

Hey thanks fidalgos to help,i appreciate this :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
ok i have found the files!

no time to make it now but smart shoot for what is coming...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jonathancano:
Looks great! Can't wait!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
But you have to wait mate ;)

today or tomorrow i will release it i think.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fidalgos:
:D:D:D DJCedric, can I ask one thing? How can you post screen-shots... because when I want post a screenshot I click on the symbol 'Insert Image' but the only way :confused: is post a image in one url...

Yesterday I down and install your 'DJCedric DesiRed_Opera.cab' and with a tool 'HDWall_v0.25b' I make bck4allpages for Manilla with your 'bluewomen8.jpg'. The first page (home) is different because have the 'bluewomen8' but with red and blue waves. The others all 'bluewomen8' :)

So... I want to show this screen-shots to you (no theme red but I think is a nice aspect) :D

Out off topic... can you teach me how can I create in tab Internet the Push Page I lost all (except Youtube) when I chance the without Globe in Energy to a Mozilla Globe?!

The Push Page I lost is: NGRZTwitter, Facebook, Opera, etc. like I think you have by default in your EnergyROM in Internet tab :o

I request from NGRZ this but you Know what answers will do...:mad:

Ahhhh... and I wait for your dialler when you have time to finish, eheheh
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
Fidalgos,for me the best way to post screenshots is tinypic,upload any image on tinypic,when uploaded click on your image to see it bigger,then with your mouse on your picture,right click to copy image location/adress and in xda just add image and paste the url you have copy from tinypic :)

type tinypic in google.

here comes the dialer;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
BlueWave Dialer & BlueButtons added first post :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fidalgos:
eheheh, I follow your instructions and... volilá! :D

About the Touch Pages? :o

:D:D:D THANKS for the Dialler :o(14MB?) this replace the space of the standard dialler? Is needed shut down the Manilla before install?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
yes 14mb because of the dll file!

install and reboot ,no need to close manila.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
ok fidalgos,please if you have installed the wallpaper maked by HDwall then go to manila settings/wallpaper and choose "use default"
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fidalgos:
No... No... I like the wave on home page. You ask people which install the redopera tabs to put one screenshot with a red theme in another (your) topic:) So... I put in there (incorrect topic) only for you see :)

When I have time I go install the dialler and then I comment... now I go dinner:o

EHEHEH my ROM is not EnergyROM but DJCedricEnergyROM....

When you have a little time to answer about what i write before... teach me Push Pages I loose :o but I understand if you don't can help me my friend! no problem!

BR
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
Hoooo ok fidalgos,i mis understand you my friend,much thanks for this and im really happy that you like what i do ;)

for the push pages i dont know at the moment but i will search for this...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fidalgos:
OK, OK, I wait... maybe you find the way to help me :)

I come now from my dinner...

I down and install your dialler (fantastic work)... you see in image a green square on the middle bottom but I think is because I use one theme on today 'DVF green'. Also I make the wallpaper like you say Default and now all equal in all tabs :)

...and this is beautifully I like very much the 'ornamented'

I SAY... THANKS :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eighty1:
Is this for NRGZ 2.1 only?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jonathancano:
