I'm sorry!!!! Maybe I uploaded the wrong files from my PC...I've TONS of kernel and images :-P ... now I'm uploading them from the folder in my phone, look at the 1st post when it's done ;). Haret is good though... sorry again
[Android Software Development] karim_31:
same thing for me didn't start on mine

please tell us how to do step by step:)
[Android Software Development] gregnapola:
Now it should works... :D Let me know...
[Android Software Development] tentator:
Ok, something changed now at least.. ;) I downloaded this new one and I can get to the supercar-like red bar weaving on the screen, but then shortly after seeing for a short moment the android desktop it again reboots spontaneously.. what's it sort of watchdog? ;) Uhm... Maybe there some button trick that I did not get correctly? :D

Well but anyway if there is something to be compiled I'd also like to try that way..

tent:wq

PS: karim, do you notice the same?

PS2: I also noticed that the initrd image is a .zip file.. does it mean I need to decompress it first? Because looking at the header of it it does not seem zipped archive......
[Android Software Development] gregnapola:
Maybe mine is "Magic" :P...seriously, my ks20 restarts only if I don't press anything, otherwise it stays on even for a day...Actually you can only open google maps app with this keymap

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=441999

here you can find what you're looking for; the initrd extension doesnt matter, it's a gzipped file but it's mounted as disk image. If you unzip it's about 32 MB large and you can't use it with older Haret version because of memory limit (from haret changelogs)
[Android Software Development] tentator:
ok.. so then I definitely do something wrong with that joypad up key.. ;)

Could you give me some detailed hint on exactly when you press/release and how many times that key and what is on the screen when I need to do it (ok this sounds really silly altrough!! :P)

tonight I'm goint to try to recompile from git if there is a 0.8 three.. and I'll see what happens with that..

tent:wq
[Android Software Development] tentator:
Ok, two quick updates:

1) I was able to boot your android image by pressing the up joggle something like 5 times each 1-2 seconds while booting.. then I could move around the main menu for like 10 seconds and then it rebooted again anyway.. :( ok I definitely think ther's something with the keys or some watchdog biting..... uhm... (any reports from other users here?)

2) I wasn't able to compile by yesterday since the git repository had some problems and I was not able to clone from git the .config for vogue part in the build, will try later again..

Yes, it works....but....please....I'm looking for the nswer in the firts pages. At least for the keymap I need to understand how GPIOs are organized to edit board-vogue-keypad.c or even de default *keypad.c file and map them correctly at least

hi all,

I'm hooking keys with setwindowhook API , everything works fine - but volume up and down acts strange:

if the camera window is not up -i recieve different VK for volume up and volume down buttons, but when I start the camera process - I recieve a vk code(different than the original) idetical to both - volume up and volume down keys.

what can i do to recieve the same vk code in all states?

You can find the stock ROMs here. R2A and R3A.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mosaikk:
is there a tutorial as to how to get the stock roms back on?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Mopral:
To restore stock rom: follow the "how to flash custom rom" method but use a stock rom instead of a custom rom

After, If you want to restore stock spl, just go to the hardSPL thread and follow the "how to restore stock spl" instructions

Not too difficult...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
Press the menu button twice in quick succession. Bye bye lock screen :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kiz:
nice tip! Good for those times when you have ever so slightly damp fingers (which makes swiping on the screen so difficult!)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Don't you then have the pattern/password thing to deal with?

With the amount of online integration on this phone you've gotta be crazy to not protect it, surely? Or is the pattern unlock not that secure anyway? I have no onscreen or vibration indicators turned on, is that enough?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] soulehmoo:
The pattern lock still comes up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I don't have the pattern lock enabled.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] snafle:
What data do store on the hero that you're worried about some else getting their hands on it? And are you really that worried about losing it- I've actually superglued mine to my hand. No chances taken with my baby.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
My main email for years? All the stuff that goes with that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] darkz:
I don't have lock pattern and I only have to press menu once. I pressed it twice and the menu came up so I tried once and that worked too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwiksand:
Press it once to turn screen on, then another time to remove swipe lock. If the screen is already on (in lock screen) then pressing menu twice will unlock then bring up the home screen (or whatever screen is behind the locked screen) menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
If you press it in quick succession it will bypass the lock screen completely. Too quickly though, and you'll still see the lock screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
*having my Hero in my pocket... 10 minutes later my stuff in my pocket (not THAT stuff) have managed to call up a long distance call...*

Do you still think the doublepressing of the Menu button is a good idea?

I don't.

HTC has definitly made a mistake here since it shouldn't be that easy to unlock the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwiksand:
I've had this exact problem, people receiving mysterious calls at all times from my pocket! I'd been trying to work out how it happened, but that might be the answer

What's the GAP problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
How does it explain the gap problem?

Not for me, for people that don't get it, I know, obviously... :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
Fantastic mate, was just about to do this myself. Could you post a brief guide? How easy is it to get to the screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
Can you please remove the protective shielding too? I want to see what HTC hides under them... :-)

I was expecting to see LOTS of cramped together electronic components but that seems to be well spread out?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] commodoor:
Nice high quality pictures. could you maybe make a guide how to disamble the hero? it will be nice
[Hero, G2 Touch General] C45hY:
hope you had a spare 500 quid rather than doing this on a contact phone
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
Or a Torx driver to just put it back together.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crash_194:
so if i'm interpreting the picture right, the gap which quite alot of us are seeing, is irrelevant really as any dust ingress can't actually get onto the screen due to the seal which the foam forms on the outer case...? :confused: :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alpha242:
I guess that the screen gap is almost inevitable due to the cut in the seal
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crash_194:
no mate the gap in the screen is further down between the actual touch screen and the outer casing not where you have circled. The gap is to the left where the rubber seal bit is and the part of the ribbon cable you can see is where it actually connects to the touch screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbanbury:
Madness but crazy-awsome!

Hi, just got mine today :D Had a brief luck n there seems to be security stickers n the like all over this guy!

Normally I'd join straight in but gona give this one a miss for a while I think :P

All the best! (and good luck)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] slyydrr:
I'm pretty sure that IS what he circled. If you look at the screen itself, you can see the padding that would be at the top, just below the rubber seal area.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crash_194:
No its around the edge of the touch screen so its where the touch screen sits in the frame you can't even see any of that foam when the phone is assembled. You can see the rubber seal on the outer casing on that 3rd picture just compare it to what you can see on your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] slyydrr:
If that were the case, and the area circled was not the part where the rubber seal was, then the rubber seal would be approximately 3/4" below the top of the phone, rather than 3/8" of an inch (approximation). You can see where the speaker is on the white plastic case, and by looking at the outside of the phone, the rubber seal is literally JUST below that. For the rubber seal to be where the clear screen is wouldn't work proportionately.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Cetin:
Similarities to Blackstone like cam etc.

But disassembling seems to be much easier than Blackstone.

Hope we'll get much more spare parts compared to Blackstone.
[XPERIA X1 General] emuneee:
So after almost 10 months of service, my X1 is being sent to a repair center today.

I tolerated the cracks throughout the case (didn't bother me) and my front facing camera was jacked. However, today whenever I slid the keyboard out the screen wouldn't change orientation and would freeze. I did a soft and hard reset -> samething happened so I got my RMA number and will be shipping the phone out today.

What are peoples experiences with the Bloomington, Indiana repair shop?
[XPERIA X1 General] sopdogg:
SE says that a repair normally takes 7 to 10 business days to have your phone fixed, but my phone was in repair for over 22 business days so I didn't have my phone for a month. Depending on your issue you might get it back quicker. My problem had to do with a messed up flex ribbon causing the screen to turn black when in landscape mode. From reading other posts from people who had cracks, they got their phones replaced and they got theirs within that 7 to 10 business days time frame. Hopefully you don't have to wait as long as I did.

Good Luck!
[XPERIA X1 General] papped:
My phone repaired and shipped back out in about 3-4 days. Their estimation is always 7-10 though.

Was pretty fast and painless.
[XPERIA X1 General] emuneee:
Just got my phone back, that was quick! I was kinda worried after all the horror stories, but they fixed all my issues (bad front facing camera, cracks, no screen rotation). Even the wobbly optical pad.

I think what they did is they took the front faceplate (metal) from my old phone and put it on a new phone. :) Phone feels a lot more solid. Got a brand new screen (my old screen had a light scratch on it).

All in all, I give SE Support an A+. :)

If I buy the app, install it, then have to wipe my phone, I will loose the app.

Question is, if I install it can I pull off the .apk from the phone and if so how?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
After you flash the new ROM, sign in with your google account and you will find any purchased apps in the "My Downloads" section of the market. I have a few paid apps and always reinstall from the market without any problems.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlacy76:
I can't find the system folder when I connect to my computer. Would the apk be in there somewhere?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chahk:
Talking about backing up paid apps is frowned upon in these forums because that is borderline software piracy. The information is available on these forums though. Do a search.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlacy76:
Wow, thanks. I found some threads on that piracy issue. That never occurred to me as most of these apps are under $1 anyway. If you can't afford 1.00 then you probably can't afford monthly service. But yeah, I get it now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palosjr:
you wont lose your apps. flash new rom, sign in, go to market, its still there and it will say purchased. just reinstall

I have a question...what version of WM 6.5 + TF3D is the smooths fast and stable preferable from Miri but i cand try somethink else .???? oh and i almost forgot and to have less consumption (RAM)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] veehexx:
im personally using duttys leo2 WM6.5+manila2.5.

found it the fastest so far.

(i used to use miri roms btw)

need more info though - what do you use the phone for?

lite or premium roms offer different features, and it's mostly down to preference and individual uses & opinions on whats best.

try and few and see what you think.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Basically your looking for the smoothest, fastest, most reliable wm6.5 rom with manila 2.5 with least RAM consumption and not Miri's?

Well your options are pretty limited then, Throys or NRG's

Try both and make your own conclusion

Your question is opinionated and also depends on your usage, apps used, features etc and as such are frowned upon by XDA and they create endless threads as each person would have a different opinion.

p.s. Not that great a question as plenty of people before have asked similar questions for best, reliable roms and got similar response.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuggy:
If your PC is on a wired connection with a wireless card you could probably bridge the connection (or just use internet connection sharing if you use windows) and make an ad-hoc network to connect to via wifi.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dial100:
You can use Tether WiFi and make your handset as Adhoc access point.This will only work on rooted handsets.

Secondly use something like PdaNetA115 for wired usb connection to use your phone as modem in both cases.Will work with rooted/unrooted.

There is another one which is Tether Bluetooth for rooted phones.

I have read on another site that this line should be added to the very end to change it back to read only

"mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

The wifi modem at my G/Fs mothers has no internal PPPoE login and her adsl connection needs a PPPoE login, Android cant do this or I havnt been able to find and app that does.

I use my laptop(with 2 wifi cards, one internal and 1 external(pcmcia)) to do the PPPoE login(internal wifi) on the laptop and then share this connection via ad-hoc(external wifi) to my G1.

One thing that I would like to point out, if I lose the connection between the G1 and the laptop, I have to reboot the laptop to get it to share the internet again.I haven't worked out why yet.

I have ordered a new modem/wifi/router of ebay that will do away with all this crap, but for now it is a work around that does works, until the new modem arrives.

I also am looking for a way to get the phone connected to the internet FROM the PC via USB.

reason:

I have a Corporate SW that connects to WIFI access points around the world for free (at least free to me, not to the company).

this is done through a SW on the PC. now, I cannot mad an AD Hoc connection because the WIFI is already working. and I also cannot connect using the phone wifi due to the same reason..

is there a way to connect the phone to the Internet through the USB cable?

If the PC is connected to Wifi, there is no reason the Android device wouldnt be connected as so aswell.

Is there anyway I can share the internet on my notebook to my Android through USB cable, just like Activesync on WM ?

I can ofcourse use Wifi & connect to the same network my notebook is connected to, but the reason I wanna do this is to save power of the Android device by not using Wifi.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itamarl:
Well, here's a reason.... I fly alot and have a software from my workplace that connects me free to almost any non-free hotspot at airports around the world..

that means I can't use wifi on my device and am already using the wifi interface on my PC to connect to the internet.

which leaves me with a dongling USB cable that cannot pass the internet to my phone..

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] softway:
share internet from pc to android via wifi

I used below way to share pc's internet via wifi.

Prerequisite

laptop:

Windows XP SP3

WIFI + LAN (access internet via LAN)

Android SDK has been installed.

phone:

HTC Desire with official 2.2 Android

Steps:

1. Rooted the phone with unrevoked3.

Because I can not paste link, Please search relevant threads.

Please notice, select "charge only" when link phone to PC.

Do not unplug phone till unrevoked3 display "done".

2. Set NAT on laptop

Please search relevant threads.

a) Modify Registry Entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

IPEnableRouter=1

In Command Prompt window, run below command:

b) net stop remoteaccess # Stop the RAS Service

c) netsh routing ip nat install

d) netsh routing ip nat add interface "Local Area Connection" full # This interface have internet link

e) netsh routing ip nat add interface "Wireless Network Connection" private # traffic on this interface will be routed.

f) netsh routing ip nat add interface Internal private

g) net start remoteaccess

h) command "netsh routing ip nat show interface" will output

NAT Internal Configuration

---------------------------

Mode : Private Interface

NAT Local Area Connection Configuration

---------------------------

Mode : Address and Port Translation

NAT Wireless Network Connection Configuration

---------------------------

Mode : Private Interface

3. Enable phone's Hot-Spot with default configuration(DHCP enabled).

Configure laptop connect to phone as AP.

So my laptop's WiFi interface will be DHCPed an ip 192.168.1.157

my phone ip is 192.168.1.1

4. Add route and DNS on phone.

a) "adb shell" in command prompt, then "su".

Now you should login as root.

b) run "ip route add default via 192.168.1.157",

So all phone's traffic will be routed to laptop's WiFi interface.

My LAN interface ip is 192.168.15.100.

Just try "ping 192.168.15.100", It should return successful response.

c) Set DNS server, run "setprop net.dns1 192.168.15.1", Get DNS from laptop with command "ipconfig /all".

Not try ping a existed web site. It should return correct response.

Note:

Windows XP can keep NAT configuration after restart. But you should re-run Step 4 after restart phone's hot-spot.

E-Market and Build-in Browser do work. But GMAIL does not work. It seems Gmail check network connection type.

3) Setup a VPN server on PC using port xxxx

Mac to Android via WiFi

I forgot that this requires ad-hoc support :-/

If you have a mac, you can share your wired/wireless connection via WiFi.

1) Open System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing > Enable

2) Join a wireless connection on plug in ethernet

3) Click airport in the menubar, then 'Create Network'.
