How is the manila.exe started???

Hi!

I have the same issue, Touchflo3d not starting after boot on my swedish Touch Pro2.

If i try to manually start manila.exe i also get the clock freeze on the start screen and no mail/message notifications.

I've tried two hard resets, and adding programs and settings one at a time just to try to find the reason for this, but no luck. It feels like it's all random, it all works with apps installed, and suddenly it stops working, no changes made.

I notice that when i manually execute \windows\manila.exe the screen goes from the black screen with the HTC logo directly to the start screen of touchflo3d. When everything works the way it should do, there is a difference, a text appears on the black screen under the HTC logo, something like "starting Touchflo3D".

I'm not that good at windows mobile myself, but i hope someone on this forum, that has a phone with touchflo3d, can find the difference between starting the manila.exe manually, not seeing the "starting Touchflo"-test, compared to the automatic start with that text.

I hope that would lead to a solution or fix, i would not mind very much having to start touchflo myself with a click, but i'd like to start it the same way it does when working so the clock and notifications work as it should.

Let's all hope some of the many extremly skilled members here picks up the glove and takes a good look at this!! :-)

Best regards

Phone screen will disapper?

Thanx it worked for me!

But now TF3D will come in front when I make a call. So after 5 seconds calling the first screen of TF3D (the clock) will appear. Then I have to press the first button (phone) to get the phone screen again. Verry sad. :confused:

I also can not use the program Notes anymore when calling, the program will go to the back. And TF3D will come to the front!

Someone know the answer?

Thanx in advance,

Hi,

i had the same problem and tried many solutions until i found what was the cause for that problem: S2U2. Once i disabled the S2U2-autostart on boot up, tf3d is always starting the way its supposed to. I simply removed the ilock2-shortcut from windows/autostart and start it manually after tf3d has launched. Not really perfect, but better than everything else for me.

Do you use S2U2?

Regards

MiDiAN
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] herpi:
I did the same, disabled s2u2, and no more problems. After a while however the hanging came back randomly.

S2u2 is back now. Mothers little helper! I can live with the flightmode on and off solution.

Try to set a longer "Boot-up Delay" (S2U2 Settings->Advanced).

I've set my bootup delay in the advanced menu to 20seconds and my problem is gone.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] herpi:
Nope, 20 secs does not do the job in my case.

Tried several combinations and different ways of startup, but no deal.

I already had the problem without S2U2 so I cannot possibly blame them.

I still am stuck at the flightmode trick which gives a 100% success.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Polar67:
Moisture damage perhaps???

I have the same issue. The first time this behavior surfaced for me was right after i´d applied Zagg´s inivisible shield.

I must admit that i lacked the patience to be leaving the phone for 12 hours drying up.

I´d put it in a dry, warm & well ventilated place for approximately 4 hours and thought that should suffice.

When the phone started acting up i used up all the non-printable 4 letter words i knew :p and did a hard reset.

Anyway - the problem has showed up about every third time i do a soft reset.

To me the solution has so far been another soft-reset.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vasra:
Have the same problem, it's driving me nuts. Hate reseting the phone - it takes ages to boot up.

Won't spend time trying to fix this, will just not reboot/reset often. Hopefully the WM6.5/TF3D official package sometime in October will cure this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] herpi:
I combine the flightmode trick together with the SlidetoShutdown, where I use the restart slider.

Doing it this way makes it more acceptable.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pieterbotes:
Hmm... I've had success with the 20 second thing but now that is also not working for me anymore... not sure what changed.:mad:

It is quite random.

The flight-on/restart/flight-off always works, at least in my tp2.

My problem is that the phone wont boot pass the Android flash screen. It does get past the first Vodafone screen.

My hardware is the 32B running Hboot = 1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)

what I have done so far is to be able to boot to RAv1.2.1G I have been able to back my phone up using android (and restore).

I thought using this procedures I would be able to able to add customs ROM by just renaming them to update.zip, they seem to load into the phone just get stuck on the above screen.

I haven't done anything with the SPL (Hboot) as to me it appeared booting to Rav1.2.1G does this for me.

I also have not flashed the Rav1.2.1G image to the phone, instead using the fastboot option each time I was to perform the rom update.

Any ideas way the phone wont get past the second screen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] n1ck75:
make sure you have 'wiped' data, if you have the 3 partitions on your sd card, make sure you have formatted over the ext3/4 one.

Update the zip again, and pray lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnw230873:
I have tried wiping the data after the upgrade and not the before, I'll give the before a go.

I only have one partition on the sdcard which was formated in windows 7
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnw230873:
Cheers wiping data just before the update of the ROM fixed the issue.

To change the tab icons I use Max TF3D Theme Maker. The icons can usually be found as a manila file that this app can then install to your phone. Some tab icon sets can also be found as cab files that just install themselves to your phone. Either way you can get the look you want.

Yesterday i tried the new modaco rom and was amazed by the speed :) unfortunatly i'd have to reinstall everything else so i restored the premade nandroid backup..

Has anyone experiences with a good backup application on the Hero ? Currently i'm thinking about using the App Manager + Handy Backup (free apps from Android Market) but i'm afraid that some data could be missing..

greetz rivak
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
I've not tried Handy.

I can confirm that neither MyBackupPro nor Backup for Root Users correctly backup/restore the HTC Sense UI stuff, so you will lose all your home screen customisations.

AppManager will backup apps, but only free ones, not paid/protected ones. I'm not aware of anythign that does, but of course you could just copy the apk files manually.

I'n not aware of an app that correctly backs up app *settings* either, but would love to know of one.

I tried Sprite, but its restore actually failed to complete. I didn't have time to play with it, so got a refund.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsekh501:
I can imagine the difficulty of writing an app to backup "settings" for ROM changes, as different ROM could have different adjustable settings...

I hope that HTC could provide us some app to back up settings within their apps, or allow us to export those settings (e.g. exporting saved custom Sense)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
AppManager will backup paid apps - it is only protected ones that it can't do. Since many paid apps are protected, the distinction is minor, but it is worth pointing out.

However, since the Market remembers your paid apps anyway, it is a rather moot point, since paid apps are generally very easy to recover directly from the Market. I use AppManager to backup and restore all the free apps that I use, as it saves me (a) having to remember what I installed and (b) hunting round for them on the Market.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
But does the restore really work flawless with free apps? i made the experience with many wm phones and different backup apps like sprite backup, that you will nearly always have some kind of minor bugs after restoring data (especially if you made a FW update). Thats why i resorted in setting up everything manually again, which is the cleanest way to setup a newly updates device. So is using appmanager for restoring apps really safe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Well, thus far I've not had a problem with any apps that I restored using AppManager. Essentially all it does is copy the APKs to to the SD card, and reinstalls them when you restore. Therefore, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't work just as well as redownloading from the market, since that is just going to download and install the same APK.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
indeed yes, apols; I've blurred this distinction before, too :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
Well, it's easy, yes, but also rather tedious if you've got dozens of paid apps, as you'd have to re-installed each one individually.

Anyway, the latest Root Explorer can now copy around entire directory hierarchies, so I'll just use that to take a copy of the protected apk files, and restore them after.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
there is one major drawback to those backup apps:

after restoring all apps the android market doesn't recognize those installled apps, and therefore there i had no easy overview of app update notes.

but since this is an important feature i had to reinstall everything from the market again, so i can see in the download list if my apps have got any updates...

so while app manager did work, this drawback makes it unusable for me sadly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
Note that aTrackDog gives similar functionality, so that is at least a workaround.

Backup for root users claims to backupt the Market DB, and it did seem to work a bit, in that some, but not all, of my non-paid apps show as installed. Odd.

Another huge problem with AppManager, I'vejust found, is when you use it to re-install 100-odd apps: you still have to answer two prompts for each one (OK & Done).

Since it doesn't even result in the Market DB being correctly updated, you might as well just copy the apk files en masse, using Root Explorer. I would do that in future.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
root explorer sounds like you need a rooted device for it. correct?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
yes, that's right; the easiest way is to install the MoDaCo custom ROM, which currently includes the new 2.0 HTC release, too :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
do you mean the FW update by htc 2.0? i did the update using the RUU - no need for rooting...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
No, not quite. the MoDaCo custom ROM is based on HTC's 2.0, but is already rooted, so you can run root explorer, and other apps needing root, directly. It also has lots of other tweaks. You *do* need root to run Root Explorer.

Unfortunately, if you've installed the HTC RUU, you've also likely been installed a new bootloader which has removed your ability to boot custom recovery images, and so removed your ability to gain root in the future. The MoDaCo ROM does not include the new bootloader (which is not otherwise required).

But all is not lost: apparently you can use a tool called "flashrec" to restore the old bootloader... lots more detail at the MoDaCo site.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil_UK:
Does Backup for Root work then other than missing a few apps? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
Seemed ok for me, other than:

- not backing up protected apps, even thought it could

- not backing up the HTC Sense UI desktop, folders, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil_UK:
Sounds promising...were you using the latest version? Noticed the dev saying was aware of bugs on latest version, and suggesting may be better to use the old version.

Thanks

Phil
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
yup, latest version. I think those comments are a rejoinder to some others commenting that it had wiped all their data. I've had no problems, and those comments looked a little unlikely to me.

But a nandroid backup is always a good safety measure, before trying anything :)

backing up SMS and Email

How can you backup all SMS and email so that you re-install them with all threads correct if you change the ROM?

P!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
SMS yes; there are several backup tools around; I used SMS Backup for Root.

email: my email is Gmail-based, so no need to backup, as it's not stored on the phone.

Hello everyone and thank you for welcoming me to xda-developers!

I am switching to T-Mobile (US) and am totally set on getting an Android phone. Here's what I do:

Heavy Texting

Heavy Mobile Internet Use

Light Email (Basically To Check Gmail, Nothing Serious)

I also use the GPS feature quite often

Using Android as a Dev Platform

I do plan on rooting either device as soon as I get it.

Now, my main concern with the MyTouch is not having a physical keyboard. I am coming from an LG Voyager (Verizon) which had a horrible email and web client but had an awesome keyboard so I managed with it. Please note I have little stubs for thumbs and would most likely have to use the MyTouch keyboard in landscape mode for most of my typing.

No its on tmobile now..if i put the att sim card in it just says no service.

If thats the case then you need to put in a sim of a European carrier (GSM).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] harsaphes:
yeah sounds right thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mrjunix:

did you test your ATT sim in another phone?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Factory reset / data wipe.

This can occasionally assist folks with internal issues with the hardware. It's a common way to approach solving a problem with your device. Consider it, try it, and then go from there before continuing to further with the unlocking process.

Best of luck.

And I hope they fix the volume issue with the music player (Or maybe it's not specifically related to the music player). I have to have it set to max all the time. With my old Polaris, I had it at 2 (of 6 I think it was) to get approximately the same volume in the standard headphones. I really don't want to switch headphones, because I love to have the buttons there to control the music player and answer calls.

There is no way to raise the volume in some settings if I already have the "Media Volume" set to max, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dipje:
Might be just your case, or low-volume mp3s?

My max-media-volume seems to just right. If I listen through headphones I have it set to 30% , 40% max.

On my Diamond I had it set to like step 1 of 9 or something. Anyway, volume at 50% on my Diamond was WAAAY too loud, and you could hear it distorting. So I had a feeling on my Diamond that 3/9 or 4/9 was actually around 0dB. Everything higher than that would distort the audio.

On my Hero max-media-volume through the 3,5mm jack seems to be around 0dB (as it should).

Situation: during my vacation my HTC Tytn-II broke down... (broken LCD screen), and instead of installing a new LCD screen, I got an other TYTN-II a Czech version from O2, from a college... I just want to use the same ROM on the replacement TYTN-II, as on my original TYTN-II.

My broken HTC is from KPN Netherlands, with standard WM6.1 Prof of HTC.

when I try to flash the "replacement" HTC, with the same ROM,

I get the message "INVALID VENDOR ID", (over USB).

It seems the new phone from O2, is not allowing to flash the ROM.

Currently it's version 1.5xxx and I try to upgrade to 3.29

Is this because I use the standard utility of HTC to flash, can I get this new ROM installed any other way?
