dear friends,

pl. tell me how to install .net compace framework on my windows 6.0 mobile.with or without activesync 4.5

Download the above, i found it in another treat. I used it too, and it works.

It's just a cab file. Put it on your mobile phone, and run it. Then you may have to do a soft reset.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Stevemann:
I am running Xplode's WM6.5 23004 and set up the Device lock as part of using a corporate mobile sync service. Fine during the week but annoying when I'm home. I cannot find how to disable it or at least change the timeout to something longer than 5 minutes! There are a couple of keys in the registry (policies) but these seem to be ignored. And I have the phone off when at home (so no connection to the sync service).

Anyone help please?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Stevemann:
Anyone at all know about this device lock? It's configurable from settings > lock. But where it says 'Prompt if phone unused for' I cannot uncheck the box. And the drop down list ranges from 0 minutes to a whole 5 minutes. I can't change it...

Help please.

I recently switched to activesync from imap (connecting to Gmail) and notice that attachments in messages are not showing up. My settings are to download all attachments regardless of size. Using imap the same message does show the attachment.

any ideas? Anyone come across this before?

Hi Guys

Apologies if I did not search hard enough (i tried), I am a total noob to android and hero (40 hours!) so need some urgent help please. I am preparing to update the ROM of my unlocked UK Orange Hero (it was unlocked by the seller I dont know how, but is working in Pakistan). The rom suitable for this is the orange UK rom at the htc UK site. If I update the rom normally, would it relock my phone?

Please help, need to know this before I update and I am aching to update...thanks a lot. If there are workarounds to this (for example, some other ROM, either official or unofficial that I can upgrade to without issues) please link me to it as am having trouble finding the right threads I guess if they exist.

Thanks again in advance for your help people!

If once unlocked it stays unlocked, however there might be SPL issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umaronly:
SPL? pls elaborate a bit
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If it is a Orange UK Hero, you will be able to update to the latest Orange UK ROM, and your device will still be unlocked.

I believe with the "SPL Issues" referred to by Lord Lucan are that you won't be able to "easily" replace the stock recovery image with something more capable. However, there are ways around this too, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Regards,

Dave

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ranney:
Hi all!

I've installed a new skin to my TP2 (that was a big fault) everything was going wrong..

All buttons are completley white, horrible loading animation, etc, etc.

Now I have restored nearly everything. The only problem is that my startmenu is now as the old windows mobile drop-down menu. I want to have my HTC application launcher back. I think that it is a simple register setting...

I've searched here but cannot found a solution.

Can anybody help me with this problem/setting?

Thanks is advance and sorry for my poor English!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Check out the sticky. The registry edit is there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alwayslearning:
it sounds like you changed your setting for the home page.

try... hit start, hit settings, select today, select items, click HTC sense or touch flow (which ever one you have), hope it helps. :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ranney:
Still not working...

Thanks for the replay, I've already made that register setting, but i have still the old application (/start) menu... I think that the skin (...) has removed more settings.

Thanks for the replay, but the TF3D is working perfect, just the startmenu is old (with a drop down menu) Not a finger friendly scroll menu

Can someone upload a register file fith the malia settings?

Thanks in advance!

Ranney
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Since you messed it up so bad, it may be a better idea to backup your data and do a hard reset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ranney:
Good idea, but everything else is working right now, and i was hoping to wait until the wm6.5 version is ut (official) so I can use the installation time for that moment...

Can you help me with a register file from the malia settings? (or do you have other good idea's?

I think that the problem is simple --> I've installed a verry ugly skin. I was trying to remove it but Wimo give me everytime a error (failed to remove....)

So I've uninstalled it with SkTools, but I think that it has not restored the previous settings, but that it hase removed all the register values from the skin file...

Thanks again for all helping people!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tonefour:
there is a registry key that changes the start button and start soft button (top left) from opening the quick programs (manila shell) to the drop down menu (windows mobile default). can be found here:

HKLM\Software\EnlargeMenu

"EnableManilaStartMenu"

Change 0 to 1.

Hope that works. this is how I changed my quick programs to drop down menu (I prefer the drop down menu better).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ranney:
:cool:

Thanks for the replay,

I have searched for that register value, but cannot find it.

So I have restored some parts of the register (after a backup) in the HCT/Malia map and the HTC EnlargeMenu (In local machine and Current user). but still not working. it is already a '1' in there.

So my (simple?) conclusion is that there is a deeper problem.

Still missing other register values, or missing files that have to be somewhere to run that program menu...

Anybody else a good idea?

Thanks for al your good idea's and help!

I'm using the device at my work (medical information/patiënt information) so it's nice if I could save the installation and wait until the 6.5 update will come out!

Ranney

Update: Just did a hard reset to my device. Hoping that that will help fixing the problem. the device was after al these problem verry slow too...

Learned: Never install a big skin when I have 10 minutes time to see if I like it

Thanks for al your help (for the last time) :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tonefour:
hehe. I've hard reseted my phone at least 10 times since the last week I've had this phone. it's the only way to test out apps to find the right one that works for you. I do installs and uninstalls. eventually I will find an app that F@#$ up my phone, or that works really well. this will be an on going process for at least 3 months until I find what to settle with. It was like that with my Mogul, and it will be like that even more so with the TP2 because it's such an awesome upgrade.

does anyone know how to make the taskbar transparent or change it's background (so i can use my wallpaper as bg and it's like it were transparent) in WM 6.1?

i don't want to use app like wisbar because they must run in background and waste ram...

[General Questions and Answers] marc118:
I've been looking for a pocket PC for a few weeks now and my attention has been drawn to the HTC models.

I would be needing it firstly for the internet and storing PDF files on that i need and can access at work and lastly as a phone.

As of yesterday i had narrowed it down to HTC HD and the diamond2 and was ready to order it but then seen that the HTC HD2/Leo/firestone (whatever it's called) is due to be released on October the 12th.

How likely do you think that release date will be?

If it is going to be December than i may as well go for the HD1 or the HTC diamond 2 but still haven't decided which one?
[General Questions and Answers] badasschris:
wait to see if the hd2/leo gets released when they say, and then decide what to go for because im sure there will be some cheap hd's around then.

Also being an owner of a touch hd I would say that the screen is excellent but i do miss having buttons so i would say go try out some models before you buy to make sure your happy with typing with no buttons
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Wait for the LEO release in October. But, if you want a keyboard then look at the TP2.
[General Questions and Answers] april09:
reply

I agree with badasschris. It is a good idea to wait a few days to see whether HD2/LED is released on October 12th.

If not, you could have a look at HTC Diamond 2. I am using it and it is really great.
[General Questions and Answers] Limlin:
If you wanna choose one from Diamond 2 and HD1, I would say Diamond 2 cuz I myself is using this one and it's a nice device. HD is a little bit large for pocket. But you can have a look at Touch Pro 2. It's a great device. Or you can wait for LEO which will be announced soon.
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
One more for TP2!!
[General Questions and Answers] badasschris:
YEa if i was going for a current device tp2 would be top of the list because of the keyboard. but you would be silly to get anything before there is more news on the HD2 (leo)
[General Questions and Answers] orelsi:
TP2 or Xperia if you are in a hurry. X2 or Leo if you are willing to wait.

Features:

-No special features

-Just stock w/o Google apps

Download for G1:

Instructions:

Unzip the file, then:

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

To Do:

I'm a lazy guy.

Next release will be cyanogenmod w/o googleapps.
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
Well does the rom working without all googles stuffs ?

Can we add them easily ?

Thanks for the new build, hope this googles' issue will be fine

It does work, but it's nearly useless.

I work on a windows version of my script which adds google apps legally.

I also will create a script for recovery.

I'll work on this ROM when I'm done with these, as soon as the scripts are ready, this ROM will get some goodies from Cyan.

Surely this is the problem solved?

But what do you mean by google experience?

[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Google Experience are all phones with Google Apps preinstalled.

Just some indian and russian HTC devices don't have it.
[G1 Android Development] vixsandlee:
Out of interest would this boot fine without running the script?

I am presuming not, but i am just curious?

I would try it out, but at the moment I am not at home and only have 2g coverage on my phone so its a bit slow to download

Edit //

Could i (in theroy) install, boot and then use wget to download sam3 from slideme.org and then download a third party dialer / K9 etc... etc..

So use all third party apps

It boot's fine w/o the script ;-)

Not to rain on your parade, but ....

Hi Maxisma,

Not to rain on the parade, but ...

Per Google, this ROM is no more "legal" than any other ...

The following is taken from http://source.android.com/documentation/building-for-dream

Just my understanding of things.

[G1 Android Development] vixsandlee:
Interesting, i am going to have to have a look and a play later.

Cheers for the work (forgot to say that in my first post)
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
if you're interested on maybe trying to do this on your own:

http://www.johandekoning.nl/index.php/2009/06/07/building-android-15-build-environment/

Contrary to what you might think, a room w/o google apps is not entirely useless. Probably the major setbacks are the lack of market access, the lack of a YouTube player (we need to work on a port of Totem's Youtube implementation but for android), and a way to manage contacts (irrenhaus is looking at the posibility of setting up a Google Contacts sync), plus we'd probably need to write an utility to actually read/write contacts to and from SIM.

G-mail, you can acess from the browser (which, AFAIK, is still free and open source under the Apache Licence), Maps can be downloaded once we get Market access.

Other than that, a bone-stock android build will keep you connected to the internet, allow you to tether, allow you to run scripts, deliver your mms, give you camera and music player, have theme support, and ofcourse, make phone calls just like any other build will. You'll just have to go a bit off of your way to get apps, but again, that's the main drive here, either get acess to market of create a new one and invite app developers to submit their apps there too
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
That's dead on too, and I forgot about it. The issue would not be with google anymore though, but with HTC and it's hardware partners. This is what cyanogen realized, now that the spotlight is on rom development, companies will have watchdogs for re-distribution of binary code. If you own an ADP device, you can legally download the binaries from the HTC website and MAKE YOUR OWN BUILD (so redistribution targeting dream is out, unless we can talk to HTC about it), either that, or, as I've said before, move onto an open hardware platform so we can write our own drivers.

---edit---

By the way, I still don't agree with the whole feeling of gloom floating around here. This is only a change to the way we're doing things right now, but it doesn't hinder development in any way. If you're the kind of dev that's here for the praise, then yeah, you wont like it that now people will have to actually know what they're doing, so your fanbase will be reduced. I for one welcome the change. This rom, for example, can still be distributed without the HTC binaries and maybe have instructions for the user to download them, install them in their OTA package, and the actually flash the rom. But then that requires that people actually know what they're doing, since we can't legally provide them the finished product.

Also, it doesn't hinder improvement of the platform. None, I repeat, NONE of cyanogen's or other dev's work ever even touched the proprietary parts of the build, as this is nearly impossible without the source (I know, baksmali, but really, I'm trying to make a point here!...) and most of what made his work awesome was the behind-the-userland work; kernel's bfs patches, scripting, cpu time management, modifications to available source, for example, the settings package.

We can still improve the platform, we can contribute, and maybe this time around the way Google wanted people to, by submitting code for their consideration to have it maybe implemented in android's next build.

I'll be glad to see all the "OMG, MY PHONE WONT START" threads diminish as people realize that this will no longer be the place where you get it all dumbed down and easy to use.
[G1 Android Development] kmassada:
hey just by simple curiosity, how do you then log into the phone, if this rom is google less? I presume you still need a google account to set up your machine right????
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
You don't need to login as there is no setupwizard.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I could probably write a Java application that would allow the user to:

1) hook their google phone up over USB and grab the existing google apps off of it

2) point to the location of their proprietary drivers on a manufacturers website for download

3) point to a central location of legal ROMS for download

4) click an ASSEMBLE button to put it all together. The resulting update file would be like they have always been, but no illegal redistribution has taken place.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
One little problem ...

Hi Ohsaka,

One little problem with that is ... the manufacturers do not post the drivers (standalone) on their websites for download, they only redist with the hardware. Also, there are other library files as well, it's not only drivers.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] antiregister11:
Simple fix.. just don't include it. People will have to "magically" find the drivers on their own.
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
If it boots, why is it nearly useless?
[G1 Android Development] vixsandlee:
I would imagine because its unoptimised and just the default google android build.

I am going to test it later as i am curious what you can do with it (and to be honest the majority of googles apps i could live without anyways)

About the only thing i would miss is the browser (your version actually) and that's under apache licence anyways (IIRC) so I wouldn't lose that :D
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
what's all this talk about the browser? Last I checked, webkit was under a glp license and the browser free under an apache license...
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
WTF the browser is included guys :D
[G1 Android Development] vixsandlee:
If the browser comments were directed at me, I just had a brain fart and was not thinking. I knew the browser was a seperate licence
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
Can't we change point 2) hook their google phone up over USB and grab the existing proprietary binaries and libraries off of it.

Also add 5) save a tar.gz with backed up files on the sdcard for further use (flashing of updates)
[G1 Android Development] cacahahacaca:
I'm pretty sure that if people have to make the ROM themselves they'll be more likely to break their phone...
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Lol

But seriously, android isn't dead, think of it as a phoenix, google killed it, maxisma has pretty much single handedly revived it, sure its gonna take a while to catch on and be as easy as it has been, but at least somebody hasn't been running round like a headless chicken saying "zomg why can't I download cyan roms no more¿"

Nice work maxisma, sure it has a few flaws, but rome wasn't built in a day as they say

-=note=- I say single handedly, but what I really mean is a big thanks to the guys that tested and corrected the script :)
[G1 Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
Personally, I have zero problem being "forced" to build a ROM from various "parts" as long as devs like Cyan don't jump ship. I'm not really sure it matters too much since the noobs will be forced to learn to better flash their phones and will discourage those who shouldn't be playing with fire anyway. I just want more ROMs to flash although I can stick withe the 20 or so I currently have on my PC for the life of my phones. I'm sure something will have been done by then.

I'm thinking of putting up a prize to the dev(s) who makes it possible to let Cyan and others continue doing what they do best so I can greedily get back to my daily flashes. I think some prize money will light a fire under many devs to find a solution to the problem, although I am certain there are those who simply love the challenge. But why not reward it anyway. While a totally open-source solution would be incredibly amazing, we all know that that won't happen for quite some time. Also, the Google experience is so important for many, including myself. I'd love to see both options one day and it seems that that's the direction in which this is all going.

Just saying since Google's biggest fight with XDA is redistribution of the "Google experience" and the HTC phones overseas dont have the experience!
[G1 Android Development] AndroTMO:
As long as it is an HTC phone, and you are only using the HTC drivers, you should be ok.

View the phone as a computer, as under the DMCA that is what it would fall under.

Added: When you bought the phone, you purchased the drivers as well. Therefore, you are not infringing.
[G1 Android Development] DameonAndMeagan:
What if somehow you can have an app that copies [backup] all the closed-source apps to the sd card that are already on your phone, then flash the rom and run the app again to put them back into the new rom?? I just have ideas don't know much about coding and all the other jazz!

Or maybe the file the app creates is a update.zip that you can run after you flash the new rom!!
