Thanks for the reply my friend.

I am not against cooked Roms, I actually tried every single one of them 6.1 and 6.5 Manila and Titanium.

That is what drove me to the conclusion that all I need is Manila 2.x so I can get the face-book update of my contacts.

All I really need is a fast rom and the fastest is always the StockRom which also comes pre equipped with Arabic (my mother tongue) but with all cooked Roms I have to add Arabic manually.

So what I am searching for currently is a way to integrate Manila 2.x with my stock Rom, even if I recook my stock Rom (have to look like it was Original Though). Or maybe a way to temporary disable Manila and replace needed files in the stock rom and then re-enabling it again thus will have manila 2.x.

I don;t really know but I am trying to think of something.

Again Thanks for the Help.
[Touch HD General] Raptordin:
A little bump maybe an expert will see and Help. :):o:o:o:o:o
[Touch HD General] Matthes42:
There is no way to install manila as a cab. The only way to get it is by flashing a ROM containing it.
[Touch HD General] dwizzy130:
Look HERE.

It is possible.

[Touch HD General] Raptordin:
I sure am glade that you showed me this. Now I have Hope. Thanks.
[Touch HD General] dwizzy130:
No problem. But i'm skeptical about this working on a stock ROM with Manila built in and such a low build of WM 6.1. But who knows, it might.

dwizzy130
[Touch HD General] Raptordin:
Just downloaded MS Emulator and will try to see if I can do it in a virtual environment first. :)
[Touch HD General] Matthes42:
Did you see that it is for VGA resolution only? The Blackstone has WVGA
[Touch HD General] Raptordin:
The threadd shows that it is possible. so maybe someone will do it for HD
[Touch HD General] dwizzy130:
Wow. I didn't even think of that... I forgot what forum this question was posted in. A WVGA version would be even easier to get since it doesn't have to be ported much.... I just don't know where to look. I'll see if I can find one.

dwizzy130
[Touch HD General] Raptordin:
So any updates regarding porting it to Stlock 6.1?
[Imagio General] y0himba:
I just got off the phone with HTC *support*. I listen to music on my phone a LOT. I have a BT8040 headset for when I am on the road, and on every other PPC I have had the BT stereo audio service runs at the start of the phone. I just hit play and poof, I have music.

Not so with the Imagio. According to HTC, the ROM is configured so that the hands free profile starts, but the stereo audio profile doesn't. You manually need to drill down through Start-->Settings-->All Settings, tap the bluetooth icon, hit the second tab, and tap Stereo Audio to start it up.

This just plain SUCKS.

When the PPC first starts, right before it loads TF3D, for a brief second I see the icon indicating the Stereo Audio profile has started, then it switches quickly back to the hands free profile icon.

Now then, using Memmaid, I see that the BTAGSVC (Bluetooth Audio Gateway) is there and set to automatic, and I also see that the dll referenced is on the Windows directory (btagsvc.dll). However, when trying to start the service it tells me that the system cannot find the file specified. I am sure it is something that HTC has placed to prevent it.

A search for "btagsvc" brings up hklm\services\BTAGSVC and a few hklm\software\microsoft\bluetooth\services entires that are numbered with big long stings that my old hands can't type due to the cold.

Here are my questions:

When I tap "Stereo Audio" in the location above, what does it do? Start an EXE and execute a command line? Can a shortcut be made to that command line or whatever and put in startup? Can the service be added to startup by getting around how ever HTC has prevented it from starting? A registry edit?

Can we find what HTC has done to prevent it from starting and running?

Any help is appreciated, I have hit the limit of my knowlege.
[Imagio General] tfletch:
Quicker Drilldown

If you tap the top bar, it gives you a menu page with a bluetooth selection that takes you to where you connect to your device. It's not great, but quicker than going through start->settings, etc.
[Imagio General] HerbieDerb:
I noticed the same thing. But it's not consistent for all BT devices thankfully... my Motorola T505 connects perfectly.
[Imagio General] braindoc:
I too have noticed that the BT does not work as seemlessly as it should. I leave BT on all the time and when I turn on my motorola HD headset it connects fairly quickly and works fine. If I do a soft reset, then I need to re-establish the connection.
[Imagio General] hdokes:
Has anyone had issues with not being able to turn on the blue tooth service on the device? I currently am having that problem. Worked in the beginning but somewhere between then and now... it no longer will turn on... and reports that it can not be. I have looked high and low to try to figure out how BT has been disabled on this device and can find no references at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dabeastro:
I am using the CDMA hero, but this should apply to anyone with a Hero (although our GSM friends have probably figured this out long ago.) Feel free to move my post if you like.

So I too was experiencing extreme battery draw down. I considered the SMS issue with perpetual awake times but after isolating the issue, I was still hitting 30% after after 12 hours with only moderate use. I found that unacceptable considering my Treo has been in standby for 2 weeks now and the battery has not budged. Solution? Turn of Google background services.

I know it hurts to have to manually refresh email, contacts, and calendar, but the return is almost zero battery drain (unless you are actively playing with the phone.) I know this is an obvious fix and I read it elsewhere online when I first got the phone. However, I am addicted to Gmail so I was really hesitant to turn it off. The background services option seems to keep a constant data connection when I really just want it to check my email every 15 minutes or so and update my calendar and contacts once a day. Has anyone found a way to limit the update frequency without the HTC widget. (I prefer the stock Android Gmail client.)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] monocay:
I do not know about the frequency of Gmail syncing,

but the main battery saving trick for me

is to turn the mobile data connection completelly off

when i know i will not (or want not) to be online

for a longer period of time (e.g. in the night, longer car drives, etc)

i am using the build-in htc widget for this
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dabeastro:
Thanks. That is a pretty good solution. Still wish I could curtail the sync frequency though......:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZenorGR:
So we need to re-enable it when we want to visit the Market, right? Annoying but if it improves battery life, then not a big deal.
[General Topics] insomia:
pls dont flame me if this was posted before. i just find another cool way (maybe not) on how to quickly do end task and kill application instantlly on wm 6.5...actually this is not so new but a rediscovered trick! hope that others will find this tip helpfull.

im using atom life, and im eager to look for a way on how to maximize its limited memory and im an avid user of quickmenu... first of all, its free! although its not visually appealing to the new 6.5 interface...it is very usefull.

with the releases of the latest 6.5 rom, i just thought that quickmenu "x button"-to close and kill running application is useless in new 6.5 roms because the x button is now located at the lower screen... but its not! it is still there and still functional but invisible!!

You can use its setting to kill running programs by pressing the upper right corner of the screen where the old X button is located. although X is not there....program will be closed instantly from running!!

you can also set it up to put an old style start menu ( W/ or w/out icon) or To launch other QuickMenu's useful tools like hibernate (free mem), end task, Turnoff screen, reboot in the upper-left corner of the screen where the old start icon was or place it anywhere on the top with an icon.

here is the link in QuickMenu discussion

sorry, cant explain too much. but ive attached some screenshots:
[General Topics] Invince_Z:
hey2..may i know where did u get ur WM6.5.1?
[General Topics] insomia:
check this thread for latest atom life ROM releases cooked by bajok.
[General Topics] Invince_Z:
thx :) (too short liao)
[General Topics] orb3000:
Shame it´s not working on Energy´s Photon wm6.5.1 on my Touch pro 2:(

I really miss that
[G1 Apps and Games] jvaquero:
Hi from mexico, sorry for my english, the cuestion is

Somebody know how erase the register of calls under the favorites in the dialer? some like the logassist pro, please some helpme, some save my relasionship =P
[G1 Apps and Games] xManMythLegend:
This is such an annoying and useless feature.

The "frequently called" cant be erased manually. Not sure if theres any apps but very interested if there are. I absolutely hate how that page is filled with nonsense when it clearly says "favorites" yet decides on its own to add more than the ones I dub as favorites.
[G1 Apps and Games] Carloswithac:
They're stored under application > manage applications > contact storage > clear data. Make sure you make a backup of all your contacts on Gmail as a precaution.
[G1 Apps and Games] xManMythLegend:
Thanks for the tip..but it still does not prevent this list form re-accumulating.

Id prefer a much more permanent solution.
[G1 Apps and Games] jvaquero:
Thnks

Thnks for the answer, but in mexico the 3g is very expensive, for the backup of my contacs ineed a wifi conection and no many places here have this conection, the problem here is erease just some frequent calls not alls, some body have a ansewr for this cuestion???
[G1 Apps and Games] JackD3ath:
There is an app to save numbers to your sim. You could save the number to sim and delete from contacts, then refresh from sim, and bang, now you are sneaky again.

You should save your relationship by not calling people you shouldnt. Or lock your phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] ohnoezmahfone:
hah, yes. Prediction: It will end badly even if you manage to delete those numbers.
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
Yep, I ad this problem as well. I had numbers of certain people as my fav that I didnt want my gf to see. Nothing bad, just you know how women get.

Anyways the app I used is called "LogAssistPro "

It would allow you to choose and pick or all contacts to keep from showing up in the favorties.

Or you could use a 3rd party dialer app that doesnt use the fav tab? I now use SuperDial now so when you press my call button it brings that app and its easier to keep the history cleaner.
[G1 Apps and Games] xManMythLegend:
Kudos my friend. Log Assist Pro works like a charm.

For the goody two shoes who think this is all about hiding bad behavior....my G1 is a new number the previous owner must have signed up for EVERY service and owes money to every one so I get 4-5 calls a day from marketers and collectors. Grouping them all up under a

"teledouches" contact , directly to VM , and now Log assist has tremendously lessened my aggravation with that.

Gotta love Android.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] makikvues:
Hi,

i'm trying to run usb networking in familiar linux (kernel 2.6.27) on my hp ipaq 614c. I did "modprobe g_ether" on ipaq and everything went fine, then "modprobe usbnet" on linux host and this error appeared:

hub 2-0:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled

I have searched for some patches, but with no success.

Does anybody know what to do?

thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Vublich:
first of all as a premise this original x1 once boot up run commanager with activesync - media device didn't work well (don't recognize the device at first attempt)

tried to flash hspl 0.72 and then a new rom (touch-it xperience) but when boot up it say

failed to reading "software\htc\commmanager\7"

and i tried to see with regedit but there is no such path

did you know if it is normal or have i done some mistakes?

thanks and sorry for my english.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mekstro:
Maybe a bad flash. Try to flash again. Personally, I always copy the ROM to my SD-card as kovsimg.nbh.

Unless the file is corrupted, that method always works. If this fails, re-download the ROM again.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Mopral:
It is a known issue in one of Itje's release so try this one:

Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\SupportedFunctions and change the value from 8 to 7

Soft reset and it should be good...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Vublich:
well thanks a lot it works very well!!!
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
Yo, what's the deal? I am a newbie to the world of the HTC Shift and these forums, so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut, but I gotta say things are looking pretty grim around here. I've been through most of this forum, search endlessly, but now I have to speak up for the good of the community. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I'm that much of a newb.

I will be purchasing a Shift very soon and have big hopes for it. One way or another I'm going to get everything to work on it seamlessly; whether that involves me learning how to do it all myself from scratch (and I mean from scratch), waiting patiently for someone else to figure it out, or waiting not so patiently and paying someone to figure it out quickly.

I'd like to donate to the project, but the way things are managed around these forums, I'm hesitant. Especially after coming from the MyDellMini forums, where they have stickies, guides, and very frequent updates for everything. On here, I go back and forth, or in circles trying to figure out what you've got working, and looking at dates doesn't help because they most often just stop without definitive answers. I mean, can the thing make calls or not?! I've seen a YouTube video of one making a call. If so, why isn't the wiki updated?

I don't know anyone on here, but if you're like most people you probably have other obligations and such, which is perfectly understandable. But it would be decent if you could at least let the community know and maybe handoff to a successor.

The things that you're doing really do have immense implications in my mind. I mean how many all-in-one smartnetvertiblesphones are out there? Whose going to be making one anytime soon? They're all too skittish. Apple sure as heck ain't because they're too busy in the "entertainment" realm.

All I'm trying to get at is, let's get it together. From what I've read so far, it seems like you were on a good path. If you need some help with anything, such as organizing these forums, I'm certainly willing to obliged. And my apologies if I have offended; I really do respect your brilliance.

'The Shift Project 'Reloaded'' - Coming soon to a forum near you...

Watch this space youth...
[Shift General] jimmunsw:
Hi there newbie ,

Firstly , u r assured that the shift definitely can make n receive normal gsm phone calls through speaker phone now ( hopefully using bluetooth and wired earplug can be hacked physically or digitally in the near future though ) and u can also send n receive yr sms on the windows mobile side . if my shift cant do these , i will eat my shift piece by piece n upload the video at you tube ! ha ha ha :) dont worry bro , it's not like dell or any other netbook , our shift is pre netbook era and it's on a highest umpc platform , everything of our shift hardware is superior and the best from htc if u compare all htc devices , especially it's touch screen - the best there is .

secondly , the shift forum has less updates and developments because the units sold worldwide is so small if u compare to eeepc , dell and other top selling netbooks , in my country - Malaysia , i heard Sis distirbuter only sold about 200 pieces total and it has stop selling locally , so if the owners and forum community is so very small , please be very , very , very patient with anything new development of the shift . u can say that we are a niche community but our developers and gurus are the best around i think , u will be astounded by their unselfish sharing their hard work n sleepless nights with the world without any money reward at all , just purely shift passion . thank you to all you masters out there :)

should u buy a shift n not sure how good or suitable it's gonna be for u , then i would suggest that u buy a second hand used unit so that if u find the shift is not yr kind and the xda shift forum is nothing great , then just sell it off at a 30% loss - as an experience and owing the shift for a short while , this is because nobody except u can be satisfied by yr own investment , at least 30% losses is smaller than a full priced new unit .

anyway , the shift works fine for me n many others , it's very special umpc and will be useful for another 2 years - i think , until other new technology comes out to supersedes the shift n it's shortcomings . many thanks for reading , i wish u best rgds - jimmunsw :) enjoy yr shift everyone ...
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
Awesome Reply

Thank you fir taking the time to write such a thorough reply. You answered my concerns directly. I personally am 99.9% sure the Shift is THE device for me. I can't wait to get my hands on one and make use of all the hard work and brilliance that has been contributed in this forum thus far. It should be on my doorstep tomorrow. :) Then I will be one of the few, the proud, the brave shift owners in the world. As far as updates, I plan on compiling an outline of all the possible hacks and future hacks for myself. If it is useful I'll be glad to pass it along. Thanks again everyone!
[Shift General] lucid:
There seems to be a sudden influx of new members wanting to or already buying the Shift. THat's great. Shift has been discontinued and I think it's a 1 off for a long long time to come.

The next hybrid Win7/WinMo device ??

Any other Windows/WindowsMobile hybrid known to anyone on this planet ?

HTC has made a tremendous fukup releasing the Shift as crippled. They would

surely have sold 5 times more if the device had been marketed as a UMPC with a PDA inside to make calls and do navigation stuff. All in one for real....

They hurried to release a canadion version with GPS working but it was too late.

Shift was postponed how many times ?
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
Interesting

I have not been watching the UMPC market, well at least not on the Windows side. I have been obsessed with the rumored Apple tablet, but after paying attention for a little while, I now realize that Apple is really just trying to build on the success of the iPod and not release productivity oriented devices. And, yeah, you really gotta wonder who runs these companies sometimes. I mean I can understand not manufacturing a device because you don't think the market is there, but I can't understand manufacturing a device that has all the components built in, but are locked down because you think the market isn't there.

Currently I have a triple booting Dell Mini 9 and an iPhone 3Gs, but I don't like having two devices and I can't draw on the Mini 9, which is what I really am aiming to do. I'm trying to publis a comic book entirely digitally. So, that's why I really want a Shift. I know it isn't super powerful, but it's powerful enough for on the go sketching and script writing.

I'm really looking forward to the Courier, but who knows if that's even real? So in the meantime, until computer designers get their heads out of their BLEEPS, long live hacking existing devices like the Shift!!
[Shift General] saiweb:
Cool. You just wait for Microsoft's own Tablet, this will definately beat crap out of Apple's, if Apple decides to release.

[Shift General] jimmunsw:
Dear TRGwithFeet ,

Thks for the kind reply , things got to watch out when u get yr new shift is :-

1) the middle grill for exhaust fan at the bottom of yr shift , dont press it with yr fingers - it will break a line off the grille because it is very thin steel material and hold up by a center plastic vertical line , mine and putrawanz is also broken , one of Htc manufacturing defects ( they say it will not and cannot be broken if u dont touch it there ! wtheck ! )

2) battery life is actually very good , if u r living in the year 2000 ! u may need to use yr power adapter ( it is the same model as eeepc 1000 ) more often than other laptops and it is very hot at the peak of battery charging , if u go out with yr shift often , maybe consider a external battery pack of additional 3 - 4 hours of battery juice , or go get mugen extended battery with hump back battery cover - that will give u additional 2.6 times of yr actual shift battery life . also try get a cigarrete socket lighter to charge yr shift while u parked yr car ( 12v 3a only - no higher or u will fry yr shift ok ! ) with yr car engine STOPPED , ignition key current on only mode . just in case u know .

3) try using outdoor with gps , the screen looks ok if compare to others of same 7 inch screen , also put in a 32gb or 64gb sd card for more storage memory , but test it out to see if it can be fully detected n used before u pay because not all brands is usable especially using microsd to sd adapters !

4) do not cover or closed the fan suction in port at below right side ( near sd card slot ) as the heat builds up rapidly , maybe motherboard will auto shutdown when reached 70 degree centigrades ! after that it may never wakes up again ! ha ha ha

5) lastly if u want to upgrade yr shift 40gb to bigger hdd or faster ssd , pls read all posts and see you tube because there r many types hdd n ssd , some can be used and many cant be used , back up everything u can and be extreme caution when u open up yr shift , be very patient . Btw it will null yr warranty if u do so inside the 12months u hv bought it .

For yr sketching and script writing usages , i m not sure about it , never use that , but pls share with us all yr experiences and suggestions of yr actual working with yr shift .

Again thks for reading this , enjoy yr shift - jimmunsw :)
[Shift General] vinokirk:
Great post, thanks for the info, ill add it to the library! I didnt know about the car charging, and i am gonna be charging mine up mostly in the car! How come the engine has to be off? Is it because of the voltage spikes?
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
Awesome!

Jimmunsw,

Thanks for all that info. It's really good stuff because it's the type of info you can only learn over time while really using the device. I'll be able to better care for my Shift because of it. Thanks.

Vinokirk,

I just noticed that you posted the library a few days before I started this thread. Man I feel like a turd now. I guess it was just me. I've been having bad luck with search engines lately or too stupid to think up the best keywords. Thanks for all your work!
