Hey Guys, My TP2's screen kinda wiggles back and forth a little when open and tilted .. I was wondering if thats normal. I went back to the shop and made the guy open me a brand new one to make sure, and it had the same problem. Does yours do that too? its the unlocked version.

Thanks allot :)

yeap google voice will do it for you..

also you can use your gmail to send text messages to cell phones..

ex: phonenumber@tmomail.net and they can reply you back to ur email from there cellphones... cingular also has it but don't remember the domain..

[G1 General] Android0014:
I've read and found that we need to wipe and reflash the rom first then apply another theme. So I wonder why we can't just go directly from one custom theme to another ???

I have a rooted MT3G with cm 4.0.4 rom, cyanogen 1.4 recovery, and a Hero theme. I've also downloaded a few other themes (for cm 4.0.4 of course) and I'd like to know if I could just copy those themes to the root of my sd card and boot in recovery mode and Alt+A to flash each rom to try to see which I like best? ...

OR I would have to reflash cm 4.0.4 rom first then apply a theme and follow this 2-step procedure for each theme I wanna try?

thanks in advance, your help is very appreciated.
[G1 General] rizoh66:
I would also like to know.:confused: I am so tired of wiping and having to reinstall everything when something goes wrong when flashing other themes.
[G1 General] evilkorn:
The easiest way I think to test themes is to create a stock 4.0.4 nandorid backup, then flash the theme you want to try. After that if you want to try another, restore the backup and flash again with another theme.

Someone else might say switch rom might work better, but I don't have any experience with that tool yet.
[G1 General] Android0014:
By what you said "having to reinstall everything..." I assumed that you meant you had to reinstall all your programs and apps and stuff, right? If so, you don't have to face that hassle if you had apps2sd. That's what I have with the cm 4.0.4 rom, when something does go wrong with that theme, I only have to wipe, reflash the rom, then apply theme. That's still a 3-step procedure vs only one step of flashing the theme if we're able to do that. So get a rom with apps2sd or install apps2sd with your current rom, and you won't have to resinstall every single app everytime.

I've wiped the phones like a million times already lol-to test different roms, if I had to resinstall every app every time I wiped, I'd have gone crazy by now.
[G1 General] rizoh66:
Thanks, I really didn't even realize being an advantage for having apps2sd. I need to install it, but being somewhat of a noob, every time I look at partitioning my sd I get so overwhelmed that I abort in fear that I would do something to mess up my sd or phone.
[G1 General] Android0014:
I'm a newbie in this android world as well and I'm a bussiness major who knows nothing about programming and C language. I was just like you the first time I take the look at the instructions to partition the card, but it's quite simple once you get the hang of it. Just follow every step and read every step and do it slowly, and you'll be fine. It took me about 25 mins the first time I partitioned a card, and it went down to less than 10 mins the second time. give it a try, you'll do fine.
[G1 General] vamopyros_wrath:
I was wondering this earlier... so ijust tried it, and it works, there is no need to wipe, i have flashed three diff themes running cyan 4.1.11.1 and no problem so far, so just try it, at worst, it will hang and you wipe then flash as normal lol
[G1 General] NguyenHuu:
no need to wipe if going between themes. just always make a backup first in case the theme you use has bugs in it. you can just flash the rom again, no need to wipe. or just flash the default theme template.

next, just make sure you choose the right theme for your rom. for example do not do 4.0.4 theme on a 4.11.1 rom.

for switching between themes, the best thing to do is revert to the default theme first, then apply the updated theme. the reason is, each theme modify different files, it's not always the same. so if you apply a new theme on top of and old custom them, you may have weird theme problems as some aspects of the old theme may show up on the new theme haha.
[G1 General] david1171:
the easiest thing to do, since most themes now contain stericsons lockscreen and some have htc music, is to reflash the rom, then flash the theme. that is what i always do.

the reason you need to flash the rom or theme template first is that say theme1 has x.apk themed but theme2 doesn't have x.apk themed and leaves x.apk out of their package altogether, then when you flash theme2 over theme1 the themed version of x.apk from theme1 will still show up in theme2. now in some areas this may not be a problem, but that also applies to anything that is in theme1 and not in theme2, so it is best to flash the theme template (or the rom if you are coming from stericson's lockscreen to a the old lockscreen (which humorously enough is still by stericson) so that it will overwrite all of the new lockscreen files).
[G1 General] vamopyros_wrath:
That is very true, i always do a backup just in case, but this is an extra step that does not require much more, so i will do this too. thanks for the info (i want a scooty puff sr. lol :) )
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] tobe76:
Dear experts,

since a long time now I'm reading this forum and got many fantastic tipps, ROMs, etc. Unfortunately since yesterday my HTC Touch Cruise's (P3650) touchscreen doesn't react any more. Even hard reset, trying several ROMs (til yesterday I used M-Anime for more than 6 month without any problems), nothing could solve this problem :(

Therefore I need to send back the HTC to my distributor. However I've to restore original ROM & SPL. Before updating to M-Anime I made a copy of my ROM as suggested, but unfortunately in the meantime all my PC data were lost. So no ROM and even more no SPL. My last hope is this great forum!

To go back to original status I need IMHO following things:

If possible a short description of necessary steps

Original WM 6.0 GERMAN ROM (Version: Bought my HTC in March 2008 / Orginal HTC - no branding)

Original SPL (have installed Hard-SPL at the moment)

Everything what I forgot so far :o

Many thanks for your help & support in advance,

cheers

PS. I tried to read all threads regarding original rom, but either it's not the correct version or the download link is down ...

Hey Reko,

thanks for your prompt answer. Thought that this upgrade needs original WM 6.0 ROM :o ... nevertheless installation worked and I've the original HTC WM 6.1 installed now. In this regard one question, just to clarify. The HTC WM 6.1 is an official release and therfore guarantee keeps untouched, right?

And second thing, now I've to restore the original SPL, I tried to check all relevant threads, but I'm still not sure what to do and where to get it. Could anyone help?

Again many thanks for your support,

cheers

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] c3ro:
1. flash the spl-restore and verify manually in bootloader if the SPL 1.25.xx got flashed

2. flash again the wm6.1 because it has newer SPL than the SPL-restored

if that fails..

1. flash wm6.0 rom + radiorom

2. flash spl-restore

3. keep it as is, or update wm6.1
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] tobe76:
Hi c3ro,

thanks for your support. Will try do follow your steps and in case of further problems get back.

Hi,

I'm trying to get real VGA working on my touch pro (german version, latest standard rom from htc). I've found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=327830

I've installed RealVGA_11.CAB, ResPack128dpi.ARM.CAB and activated 128dpi in RealVGA. First everything seems to be good, but then I've tried to open the software keyboard and device.exe crashed. This only happens if I activate one of the input methods that are placed in "other input methods" (translated from german). The phonepad and the layouts for finger input are working.

After this I installed LangPackGER.ARM.CAB. Now all input methods are working, but the phone is faulty (cprog.exe crashes) and there's also something wrong with the entries in the settings panel. Uninstalling the language pack recovered the previous state.

Is there any solution? I've searched in this forum but the threads about this topic are very long and unclear.

Solved:

PocketCM Keyboard works perfect.

Hello my friends :) i have a little, hopefully simple question and i dont know how to answer it^^

Why i cant flash the mobile phone LG KP500, called 'Cookie' to Windows Mobile 6.x?

Is there no way to flash a different rom to this device?

i dont know much about the processor architecture of the "Cookie" but in my opinion it's a touchscreen-enabled phone like for excample the Samsung Omnia i900..

might anybody feels able to explain me whats the different between this two devices "Cookie" and for excample the "Omnia" and why it's not able to flash it.

thanks in advance

redplate
[General Questions and Answers] smurf:
i guess because the roms are device specific. You cant just flash a rom for a diamond on a kaiser either. Maybe with some luck you can flash android in the future when lg throws some android phones on the market.

you should have invested a bit more money and get yourself the ks20 from lg. This has winmo 6.x installed (and wlan and gps)...
[General Questions and Answers] B3ler3fonte:
You can't actually flash it as LG in most of its new devices uses the "S-Class" (as its called), interface-software,limitating the customer to do anything with it.

Can u type using ur keypad, the following

1809*#500#

and tell me on ur SW and HW version menu, what's its actually SW and HW version?
[General Questions and Answers] lamborg:
You can flash a Windows Mobile device with a Windows Mobile ROM or Android.

You cannot flash a Windows Mobile ROM to just any LG or other phones which run on their own OS. Like iphone OS ROM cannot be flashed to WinMo devices.

the right command is 1809#*500#

after typing in the command i choosed the entry "version" from a submenu.

i've got the following info:

[General Questions and Answers] B3ler3fonte:
Sorry for my late reply mate. Yeah, i mixed it up a bit with * # signs ;) :) But as far as i saw, u found ur way ;). Notice that this code is only for internal purposes testing and so on, so consider that u have full acess to ur phone now and u can even hard/soft reset ur device, through the appropriate menu.

Anyway, yeah 10e is the SW version, but still, i think there are another two SW updates available already online, so i sugeest u, to install LG Pc Suite that was included in the box and seach for those and flash ur device accordingly ;)

hi again,

at first np mate.. it's ok .. i know that hehe. i have to say "sry for my late reply"^^

and full access sounds always good^^ btw thank you very much for the code!

to the phone: im using the newest version 10z now. could you tell me plz for what exactly do you need the SW and HW version?

maybe there's another possibility to get windows mobile flashed on a LG Cookie?

MSkip ProPlus Ultimate with Custom BackGround for Spb Mobile Shell 3 BUILD 092109 (QVGA, WQVGA, VGA and WVGA)

This is exactly the same version as Pro Plus Ultimate but with a custom background on all screens except lifestyle. This can then be easily changed to another background by changing the qa_fundotela.dat file with your own custom made one or one of the files I have supplied. Just rename the background you want to use to qa_fundotela.dat and copy it to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone, then soft reset. I included a black one as well as a couple of colourful backgrounds.

Note: After you rename the background file and copy it to your phone dont forget to rename it back so you know which one it is or you will get lost :p.

Do the following to make your own custom background dat file.

1. Rename any of the custom backgrounds in the zip file to qa_fundotela.zip

2. Unzip to a folder using the password: b0fm18zq

3. Make 2 backgrounds to use as follows:

For QVGA version (240x400 saved as Background.bmp and 400x240 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

For VGA version (480x800 saved as Background.bmp and 800x480 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

4. Move the 2 new background files into the folder you made in step2 (overwriting the originals)

5. Zip the 3 files back up with password protection (using password: b0fm18zq)

6. Rename the new file to qa_fundotela.dat and copy to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone (overwriting the original)

7. Soft Reset your phone

NOTE: The background problem with WQVGA devices has been fixed so the image is shown on the whole screen and not just down to the menubar.

If you enjoy using anything that I have created please consider making a donation even if its a very small amount. Everything donated will go towards treatment of my Aunt who has been recently diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.

Enjoy :D

I'll be waiting for your VGA update on this one.

Is there any way to resize the screen for SPB? The newer 6.5.1 ROMs leave a slight gap at the bottom of the screen (sometimes it is black, other times it has an after image of the most recently closed window).

If ye need screen shots to get what I'm saying I'll get some and edit this post.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats a problem with the WM 6.5 builds because I think the Taskbar at the top has been made smaller which moves all the screen up. I dont think theres a fix so if you want to use a 6.5 Rom then you will have to live with it. Personally I dont like 6.5 and prefer to stick with 6.1 :)

Its impossible to please some people lol :p

1. I can quickly add the small omnia weather widget without text to fit in the bottom tonight but thats the only other small weather widget that I have.

2. Im not sure about giving the Ultimate version continuous scrolling because it requires changing the lifestyle layout to 7 seperate screens and looses the ability to backup the layout easily and affects the background stability. I might play around and see if I can do it without having to add the selection bar.

As long as its installed over a previous build of the same version then you shouldnt encounter any problems. Especially since this build is just a widget update. Hope everything works well :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
You know me, never happy! :D Yes, the omnia widget is the one I like the best. If you have time, I'd appreciate the addition.

Since I have no technical expertise at all, I can't suggest that continuous scrolling be implemented in Ultimate. For me seven screens is too much scrolling in one direction. Elegance was exactly what I was looking for EXCEPT :rolleyes: that I really lke being able to control the bottom of the screen. Well, life is all about trade-offs.

Again, I appreciate your efforts.

Hi, this may be a stupid question but I'm about to install Widgets Pro Plus for the first time but noticed that the warning about copying out the BACKUP QA_LAYOUTS.DAT file no longer appears in the latest instructions - is this still necessary in case I want to restore?

Also, if I've never installed widgets or anything other than SPB 3.0.1 before, do I still need to uninstall SPB and reinstall before running the MSKip program?
