[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pckshd:
Not sure if HTCs leave the proximity sensor polling active while phone is off, maybe the reason is battery drain.

Blackberry magnetics work just the way the stylus work for the Diamond and later HTC models. Magnetism is a healthier approach for this because is not processor dependant. Proximity and light sensors do require CPU processing to work (at least on current HTCs hardware design)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
Simple. I just press the power button to turn it off before sliding it into the case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] superrrguy:
From my understanding, the iPhone proximity sensor activates if the phone is locked and turns on during message notification. This way the screen shuts off if it's in a case or pocket as not to drain battery life. I with WinMo did that or at least S2U2 would do that.

I have another little problem. When my Tilt 2 is paired with a Bluetooth headset and I decide to take the call at the handset the proximity sensor is not activated.

Anyone else notice this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaM79:
Hi there,

just tried the internet for laptop via usb, but sadly without success. The HTC-Sync is installed....

I connect the USB-Cable and activate in Menu/Settings/Wireless/ the Internet via USB (have the German menu, so I dont know what is the exact word for it in English, it is the last entry).

Then Windows Vista comes up with this window:

Driversoftware must be installed... So I press the first entry, recommended, automatic search.

Vista starts the automatic search...

But at the end, Vista does not find the appropiate driver and tells me to put in the driver cd or something like that.

But I do not have any driver CD. The support area of HTC does not offer any download... What can I do?

Please help from anyone! Would be very nice!

Thx!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csasek:
does the HTC sync connect? If not I would download the newest HTC Sync. It comes with updated drivers and after installing it I was able to use HTC Sync and ADB with my phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaM79:
Nope, but found the solution.The appropiate driver can be found manually in

C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x86

if HTC Sync is installed.

Tricky, as this is not mentioned anywhere.

Hi!

Where to find a _swedish_ software keyboard for my n560p RPDA? It's running Windows Mobile 5 (OS 5.1.195). The device comes with an english layout by default.

Thanks in advance,

**New version in the works. See last page for my post**

**Updated 5:51pm CST**

-Made sweeping changes to the script. Thanks Farmatito for the suggestions. Output from script also goes to adb logcat

-See script for additional changelog

**Updated 11:00am CST**

-Changed a couple "cp" commands to "ln" as this is a smarter way of doing it. Script has been updated and re-uploaded

After having issues with the current a2sd script floating around (under certain environments the script would erase all user & system apps) I decided to update it so that there is proper error checking, logging, and back-out procedures on failure. The log is stored in /data/a2sd.log so if you get stuck at a black screen or it won't boot, now you can check the log and find out where its failing! By the way, if your phone won't boot or you have a black screen obviously the only way you can read the log is by connecting the phone to a pc and using adb shell cat /data/a2sd.log .

Anyways here it is, enjoy.

Procedure

adb remount
adb shell cp /system/bin/a2sd /system/bin/a2sd.bak
adb shell push a2sd.txt /system/bin/a2sd
adb shell chmod 777 /system/bin/a2sd
adb shell reboot

Everything should work like before. But you can rest at night knowing if your phone won't boot you now have a way to know if it was related to a2sd and what the cause was :P

**NOTE: If you get stuck at the boot screen it's probably b/c your /system/sd partition is failing the fsck. You should probably fsck it on your own to fix any corruption. If you don't want the fsck then comment it out of the script.
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Very cool, lets hope a developer picks this up and uses it.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
I could toss this in my next build if the masses like it (sure they will) :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I was going to read through this and give a full opinion but it is too long for me to do it this late. My eyes are crossing trying to read it. But at first glance it looks good (logs are always good right ;) ). And I've never seen shafty not do good work. I'll try to look it over in full tomorrow. Plus you've inspired me to try to think of same way to contribute to this file. So now I have to put that on my todo list.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
O hell yea, mike the masters on it!
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
The more the merrier. It's too bad everyone doesn't have bash installed or we'd be able to take advantage of all the features bash includes (functions, advanced iteration loops, arithmetic).

That would be on all the ROM devs to include it though. Oh and I'm a UNIX Admin so writing shell scripts is like 60% of my job. We try and make our lives easier by writing scripts to do the work for us :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I figured you did something like that. Your scripts are always good. I've learned a lot from reading through stuff that you have posted. I wish I had your experience with it. I always have to fumble through to find the right syntax to do what I want to do.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Ya I started out fumbling around just as well. Keep at it and if you ever have any questions about how to do something feel free to PM me. Shell scripting, among the other 10 programming languages I code in fluently, come second nature after years of coding in them. Java/C/C++/Sh/Bash/Lisp/Javascript/Html/Php/Jquery.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Sweet, i will probably take you up on that offer sometime. I have a question about running e2fsck. I always run it with the -f option because it seems like it never finds problems unless they are really bad if I don't. Would there be a problem running it in your a2sd with -fy? I've always wondered why no one uses the -f option.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Well there's two sides to this. One could argue we should force a fsck at every boot, and then the other side is to let Android mark the partition as dirty so fsck will run only when needed. Normally the filesystem is supposed to be marked dirty if in fact it is dirty.

So if we force a fsck at every boot then that would add to the boot time of the OS but then again would ensure the filesystem isn't corrupted. It's really personal preference. It breaks down to "Speed of boot" vs "filesystem integrity"
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I can't even find a2sd in cm4.1.999. Seems to have gone missing. Anyone know if it exists, and if so, where it's at?
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
The default location is /system/bin/a2sd . If it's not there not sure where else it could be hidden at
[G1 Android Development] overground:
That's where it should be and used to be. I looked in the original zip and it's not there either. Checked sbin and xbin and other places where it also shouldn't be, and can't find it...weird.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Perhaps it was integrated into the swap file. And I don't mean swap file as in the literal swap file. I mean /system/bin/swap which is a conf file & shell script in one. I would check there to see if it was incorporated in there.
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
Hi,

just some comments about the "monster" a2sd script. ;-)

Hope they will help you to imprrove it further.

I would suggest to change the logging so that

it could be seen during a adb logcat of the boot process, from:

echo "Beginning a2sd `date`" >$LOG;

to e.g:

echo "Beginning a2sd `date`" | busybox tee -a $LOG;

(LOG must be initialized if it not exists)

Line 40:

e2fsck -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p2;

if [ $? -ne 0 ];

then

echo "Fail" >>$LOG;

exit 1;

fi;

else

echo "Ok" >>$LOG;

fi;

# set property with exit code in case an error occurs

setprop cm.e2fsck.errors $?;

Setprop is not executed in case of errors as we do exit. Is this intended?

Line 144:

# don't allow /data/data on sd because of upgrade issues - move it if possible

if [ -d /system/sd/data ];

then

echo -n "Found /system/sd/data which is a no-no, removing: " >>$LOG;

busybox cp -a /system/sd/data/* /data/data/;

busybox rm -rf /system/sd/data;

echo "Ok" >>$LOG;

fi;

I suggest cp -ap to preserve permissions and ownership of the copied files

I suggest to mv /system/sd/data to /system/sd/data.bak if cp fails

rather than rm all the data

Line 195:

if [ `ls -l /data/$i/ | wc -l` -ne 0 ];

then

echo -n "Moving /data/$i: " >>$LOG;

busybox cp -a /data/$i/* /system/sd/$i/;

if [ $? -ne 0 ];

then

echo "Fail" >>$LOG;

busybox umount /system/sd;

exit 1;

else

echo "Ok" >>$LOG;

fi;

fi;

I suggest to use cp -ap to preserve permissions and ownership

Line 206:

echo -n "Deleting contents in /data/$i: " >>$LOG;

busybox rm -f /data/$i/*;

I suggest rm -fR /data/$i;

Line 329:

if [ -f /system/lib/hw/lights.msm7k.so ] && [ ! -e /system/lib/hw/lights.trout.so ];

then

busybox cp /system/lib/hw/lights.msm7k.so /system/lib/hw/lights.trout.so;

fi;

if [ -f /system/lib/hw/copybit.msm7k.so ] && [ ! -e /system/lib/hw/copybit.trout.so ];

then

busybox cp /system/lib/hw/copybit.msm7k.so /system/lib/hw/copybit.trout.so;

fi;

if [ -f /system/lib/hw/sensors.msm7k.so ] && [ ! -e /system/lib/hw/sensors.trout.so ];

then

busybox ln -s /system/lib/hw/sensors.msm7k.so /system/lib/hw/sensors.trout.so;

fi;

I suggest to use ln for all.

Line 353:

/system/bin/sh /system/bin/swap;

Cannot find /system/bin/swap on my rom, maybe

if [ -e /system/bin/swap ] ; then.

Thank you...knew it had to be in there. Love your work, BTW.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Unfortunately during boot anything thrown to console is not caught by adb logcat, BUT! You gave me a good idea, it will now look like this

/system/bin/logwrapper echo "Beginning a2sd `date`";

Removed

Great catch, this has been changed

Changed

This was already being done in the following FOR loop but after inspecting further I merged the app symlinks FOR loop with this IF statement.

This change has already been made and I uploaded a new script earlier today.

Added.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I will re-upload a new version in an hour or so soon as I get a chance to change the echo commands to use logwrapper. Well I'm keeping the existing echo commands which spit output to my log but will also add another which will spit output to logcat.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
I take it back, after having suffered yet another file system corruption on my /system/sd partition I'm putting that darn "-f" in there. I'll re-upload a new copy with other changes shortly
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Posted a new copy of the a2sd script with lots of changes. Check it out everyone. As always suggestions & questions are welcome

I searched and couldn't find anything...

So i recorded a video and right after im done recording it gives me the option to send but am i able to send video otherwise. when i try to send from sms it tells me the videos are too big and in gmail it only lets me chose from gallery or documents to go so i cant chose video. also when i goto watch the video after recording no options come when i press the menu button like when im viewing photo.

Im running CM 4.0.4. with Barina's Dark Dream Theme

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Most videos are going to be to big to send thru text messaging app so just go to your gallery to where your videos are and long press the video you want to send. It will then give you more options and one will be to share. Then just click gmail or any other email and continue from there.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Edward2868:
1st of all, sorry if this doesn't belong here! Seriously, i am sorry for that :( but i just had to get this idea out for all the awesome Developers out there :)

Ok, so everyone right now is problaby using the standard lock screen or Sterricsons Lock screen.

They're both almost alike just a different look (oh and the new features you get with S. Lock screen like the music and battery life) so how about making one thats more....active i guess you can say...

Is it possible to make one somewhat like the iPhone (sorry for saying that :() but instead of sliding the little bar sideways, how about sliding it up.

For example: Looking at the picture below is a Hero Lock screen, how about having it look like that and then sliding it up to bring up the home screen? :) i think that would be awesome!

Anyone agree?

Any ideas?

Is this even possible?

So yeah, just an idea, thank you for reading and sorry if posted this in the wrong section!!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] david1171:
you need to try the pulse rom then, it has a lockscreen you unlock by flicking up on the screen, its pretty sweet, but in the end, a lockscreen is to keep your phone from doing too much on its own without your interaction, don't get me wrong i LOVE and thoroughly embrace stericson's lockscreen, i can barely use a rom that doesn't have it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] APEX.7:
search the market for lock 2.0 - theres your iphone imitating lock screen..

HOWEVER i would love to see some savvy hacker make us/port us the hero lock screen to CM builds........ prob gna be difficult with it being tightly linked with sense ui... howver do it... and it big donations from me :)

Dear All

I have read as many threads as possible in 2-3 hours but was not able to find the solution of my problem Here is what I Did

I wanted Windows Mobile 6.5 on My phone so i downloaded Hard SPL 3.56 & RevRom V8. I flashed hard spl & rom as instructed in post by experienced users.

Everything went fine and Windows 6.5 started working correctly. Then I shut of the phone and Inserted my Sim Card & Memory Card. The Memory Card was detected but the sim card was not detected. So I started reading the guides again & found that Hard SPL 3.56 is for ATT Roms only. So I downloaded the 3.29 Hard SPL and flashed it. With this my sim card was detected but after two minutes it again showed sim card missing. I again restarted the phone and sim card again worked for about two minutes. Then I thought may be its a radio problem so flashed a New Radio which is 1.70.19.09. But to no effect. I also tried another WM 6.5 Rom, this rom again did not detect my sim completely.

By now it was 6.00 in the morning, I desperately needed my phone to work as I am handicapped without it in office. So I read the post about reverting to original rom & spl and downloaded the HTC Hard Spl 1.56 file available, because i did not had the time to go for extraction and all. Then I flashed it and a Shipped Hong Kong WWE Rom 3.34.721.2 with Radio 1.70.19.09. But still my sim was not detected now I really got frustrated and just began to restart my phone I did this approx 3-4 times and suddenly the sim was detected and phone began to work fine. I checked it for about an Hour it was working fine. So I went for a Bath and when I came back the phone was agan showing Sim Card Missing. This time I took my sim card out again and pressed the metal strip that holds the sim card towards the pin very hard and inserted my card again. The sim was detected and the phone working fine while I am writing this post(approx 3 Hours of Working).

Guys Please guide whats could be the problem with my phone and what DID I do wrong. Can my mistake be corrected or have I made a Huge Blunder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anagarika:
It looks like hardware issue that the contact got loosen up somewhat. What you did (pressing the metal) should help. Other might insert few layers of paper on top of the SIM to make it 'pressed' towards the contact better.

And this thread should not be on ROM development, but on the Kaiser General (mod might want to move this).

Another possibility is: did you do a HR after flashing the ROM? And flash OEM before flashing customer? Once you reverted back to stock ROM, you should do another HR.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] coolsun85:
I did the Hard Resets all the time as it was mentioned in the guides I followed the guides completely.

Guys Please also suggest which Hard SPL is best for WM 6.5 Rom 3.29 or 3.34.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anagarika:
Both should work. Ask your chef ;)
