I just recovered mine from this the other day...when I went into parted it was not showing the label of "primary" which was signifying it was not actually an initialized partition....even though I told it mkpartfs primary fat32 and put the parameters for it...

My fix was to use my Mac and format it to FAT standard (not FAT32) which allowed it to be seen in my Vista machine downstairs....when I insert it asked to format and I said no (as it would only format 200MB and leave the other 7.6GB unusable) and went into Manage under My Computer (right click, choose Manage) then went down and right clicked the SDHC card and chose to format it to FAT32..which it did.

Put the memory card back in the phone, went back to parted and redid my partitions and they showed the "primary" label as they should...took card out of the phone, put back in the Mac and copied over the zip I wanted to flash to the FAT32...put back in the phone and flashed with Amun-RA 1.2.3 :)
[G1 General] palosjr:
why dont you partition using gparted on the G1? try formatting it within windows first, and then using the gparted method. it may work, may just have been a bad format/partition the first time.
[G1 General] nolageek:
I've used sdpart in the recovery. I thought that used gparted?
[G1 General] JackD3ath:
I also had this problem with Paragon, I formatted the card and partitioned using gparted boot cd. Works great now.

I used sprite backup on windows mobile 6.1 and then upgraded. I then restored all my messages and in the windows part of the messages all my messages are displayed in the correct order. However if i go to the contact and click the messages they have sent me, it is displayed in a completly random order :S.

Anyone had this problem? Any ideas how to fix it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ToｎG＊:
i have the same situation ;(

anyone can help?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
Same thing happened to me - can't see how to fix it, and don't want to delete all messages.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
Interestingly, if I use Jeyo to view a contact's Chat History, the messages are all shown in the correct order - so why can't WM 6.5 sort them in exactly the same way as 6.1 did?

:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Merosheep:
Same thing here, instead of threaded / sorted by time, conversations are sorted alphabetically first all messages by "me" then all messages from contact (or visa versa if their name starts with a letter earlier then the M)

Can't find any settings yet where to change this.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ozmbie:
I have a problem where any message that gets sent to me has a timestamp 1 hour in the future. So the order of my messages is incorrect.

I thought maybe this is related to Daylight Savings but I'm not sure.

help guys

I am new to this forum and have many issues just trying to learn so far I installed hardspl and upgraded my rom to Athena Project 4 ( AP4 ) directly without upgrading my current radio 1.47 to 1.57, is there a way for me to also upgrade the radio and plz help me in details on how to do that, will I lose my applications and info.

Please help me to resolve this issue, does upgrading the radio have any effect on the performance of the rom I have AP4, since I noticed it is not that fluid compared to HTC touch pro2, it is kinda irritating to see how fast the htc touch pro2 works compared to this.

plz plz help me make me athena a top notch device. If there are any better upgrades I should do please inform me about them I wish this becomes a really fast device performance wise
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] techntrek:
You want radio 1.58. Compared to 1.57 and all previous radios it greatly improves 3G/H data speed. This has been confirmed by many, many people. Search through the Athena forum for information on how to upgrade to it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
I'm trying to edit a few things but I'm not sure how to go about repackaging them as .apk even though I know they're archives. If I open the archive and extract everything how should I go about putting it back together? Is it as simple as throwing it in a .zip file, renaming it to .apk and signing it or am I missing something? I tried doing that with Rosie.apk because it has a lot of wallpapers I won't ever use and I wanted to throw some of my ringtones into it too.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palosjr:
there is already another thread somewhere farther down about this, but in short, you need to resign. Stericson did a one-click signing tool, but I was never able to get it working on my machine. I use the same tools, but I have to do the manual sign option, it is still easy, it just uses one more click.

As far as repacking rosie.apk, you should just be able to locate the .png and small.png files you want to replace. Find your new wallpapers, rename them to the names of the wallpapers you want replace. (you will need to resize your 480x320 wallpapers to the small wallpaper dimensions, they are 80x60. easiest way to resize is in MS paint or Gimp. once you rename just drag the files into the open winrar window. For rosie i think wallpapers are in the drawable 480x320 folder. When winrar brings up a prompt, just make sure you have the options selected to add and overwrite existing files or something of the like. It is also a good idea to adb pull your Rosie.apk just in case things go bad you can push a backup to revert you to where you were before. If you got any questions send me a PM or hit me on gtalk- palosjr@gmail.com
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can open Rosie.apk with something like winrar and replace the images without the need to resign. I've done it countless times. There's not much point in removing wallpapers in Rosie though, it will just reduce the size of the apk without any noticeable speed improvment. Most Hero devs use the stock Rosie apk.

As for ringtones, they don't reside in Rosie.apk. You can put them on your FAT32 (or EXT if you have one). Just put the mp3's in /media/audio/ringtones. I highly suggest putting them on ext because when the SD card is mounted in your computer your phone can't access the ringtones. Ext isn't mounted (on windows atleast) so they are still accessible.

And let's not forget that the class has nothing to do with the maximum speed your G1 can access that card, so a class 6 microSD card is not necessarily faster than a class 4.

My apologies if I'm posting in the wrong area...

SO, I recently aquired an SX66 and am deciding on the 2003se Tmo rom, or WM6.5 (or whatever.

I can't find a concise answer: why do I want WM6.5?

What does it do that 2003se doesn't do, or why is it better?

Is it stable?

What are the major drawbacks to using WM6.5 on my BA?

Are there problems with going back to 2003se?

And what are the chances of bricking my device, provided I follow the instructions correctly?

AND what is (are) the most common mistake(s) that will brick my device when upgrading to 6.5 (besides cutting power/usb in process)?

I know some or all of the answers to these questions are out there (I've been looking), but it would be nice to have an idiot's single post to refer to for the most basic questions/answers.

TIA!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Armazia:
Hi,

if I were you I would never put WM 6.5 on your BA, I don't like 6.5. I would stay 6.0 or 6.1.

But WM 6 Has more compatibility with programs and has more functionality.

I don't know if its stable, because I cant get it on my BA( I have Ran WM 6/ 6.1/6.5 on a Kaiser).

Further someone else will awnser I think :P

Why not on your BA (do you have a ph20b?)?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cerjam:
im not sure about your taste in operating systems but i'm a XP loving vistahater.

wm6.5 is vista merged with OSX for your 5 year old phone. I flashed one of my BAs with it last night. it was horrible. speed wise, i about threw the phone against the wall. GUI wise? No more start menu, no more programs menu, no more settings menu. it's all been replaced with that ohsowonderful honeycomb gui. sure, it MAY be better for fingers, not that the old style was that hard, but christ almighty it makes doing anything hairpull-hard.

shortversion:

go with wm2003 or wm5. i find they're faster. i prefer 2003, since it runs all in RAM.

as for your brick question, i aint too sure. i'd like to know how exactly you brick one of these meself. i can't find anything on it, the documentation of the BA is surprisngly lacking for most of this.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cmstackar:
I like the new builds of 6.5 with the big bottom bar, but it is so much less functional. I would definitely go with something besides 6.5, although in my experience I found it faster than any other version of winmo. I have had a few lockups, but mostly just with the comm manager/internet.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cerjam:
its hard to judge its fastness since its so..hard to navigate. i can't even read the icons, let alone try and use it.

microsoft trying to copy apple does not produce good results, methinks.

and hte new homescreen irks me. its usability is horrible, its better on blueangel but on the hermes it was just bad.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] pdahunter:
I still use WM2003 because:

1. The device is designed for this OS.

2. I don't have needless time to spent for OS experiments.

3. I like small and fast Office versions like the old Word and Excel Mobile.

4. I like the build in encryption in Excel Mobile.

5. I don't like the soft keys (>= WM5), because they replace more usable and faster menus.

6. All applications I need run under WM2003.

I'll change my OS when I change my device (currently hoping for the HTC Thoth.).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] interestingfellow:
You guys are great.

To be hones, I hate M$ (no flaming, please) and have been running Ubuntu Linux for about the last year. I especially hate Vista.

I also appriciate the insight into the feel of the WM6.5 os. I don't care about newest, latest, or greatest. I want "works great", so it looks like I'll be sticking with the Tmo 2003se rom.

Thanks ya'll.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] aperles:
I also tried Linux on my BA. It's wonderful and plenty of possibilities but ... only possibilities because the hardware is not open and people needs to hack this device.

I don't want to buy anymore a device that needs the work of some guys like xplode working hard to get these devices running properly.

I don't want to spend thousands of hours getting my 500 Eur. mobile connected to wifi. And when I ask the carrier he says me that they have no plans to solve the problem, so I solved myself the problem (thnks a lot, xda-developers).

No, no and nooo. So I decided to stay with my BA in Windows 2003se wwe and wait ...

-Hum: HTC blackstone. Very nice but Windows. No more Windows, please.

-Hum: Neo Freerunner. Open but no future.

-Hum: Iphone. Very nice. Very closed. No, thanks.

-Hum: HTC Dream. Linux but hiddenly closed Android on top capturing my traffic. NOoo.

-Hum: Palm pre. Linux but WebOS in the same way that Android or Iphone. No, thanks.

-Hum: Nokia's N900. Linux debian. Open. May be this is my phone. I will wait a couple of months to see your opinions.

Why WM 6.5?

because sooner or later, it will have more compatibility than the old OS.

more compatible with the new apps, games, tools, hardware like gps, a2dp support,wifi type N,and many more.

maybe today WM 6.5 maybe still craps, have a lot of bugs,etc, but newer OS is designed to be better from the previous one, it's just about time whether m$ can make it better or just make another mistake like vista..we'll see
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cerjam:
that isnt entirely relevant to the blueangel though.

yeah. wm6.5 is the new wmstandard, so new hardware will have drivers for it and not for the others.

but we're not talking new hardware here. we're talking a device built in 2004 for wm2003, there is no new hardware for it. as for new appz and gamezzzz, wm6.5 is mostly a new interface from what ive gathered. the OS core isnt changed to the point of changing older APIs. programs should work both ways.

and sooner or later? its supposed to be replaced in a year. methinks nobody is going to jump on the bandwagon that fast.

pointis, its bad. unless you like the new interface, its no different. except slower.

I flashed on the newest tmo uk rom for 2003se, and I'm happy with it. I"m used to the 2003/se OS, and all the progs I know about and have a copy of, work on it.

Linux seems like a great idea, but I don't have time to spend getting it right.

I might try WM5 or 6/6.5 after I get my hands on the universal that's on it's way, but I need my phone to work, and work well, right now.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] interestingfellow:
Kind of off topic, but the linux for the BA is ran off an sd card? Kind of like a live cd that doesn't touch the roms and storage(s); just pop out the sd and soft reset, and everything is back to WM? I would totally advertise that aspect of it... it might get more people into linux for the HTC devices (or maybe I just caught up to the bandwagon)

If its any help :)

Is it stable?

Yes both 6.1 and 6.5 is stable enough.

I tried every rom and tested throughly and decided to stick to Sun Dreams 6.1 as it is very stable

What are the major drawbacks to using WM6.5 on my BA?

None

Are there problems with going back to 2003se?

Nope, as long as you dont repart you ll be ok to go back to 2003 (someone pls correct If I am wrong) But I dont think you would wanna go back to 2003se as most of the todays apps designed to run on wm5 and later

And what are the chances of bricking my device, provided I follow the instructions correctly?

Slim

Make sure no ones using the microwave washing machine and the dishwasher whilst they are hoovering :) you ll be fine. Just read the instructions over and over till you are ok with it. Patience and make sure both batteries device/laptop whatever charged up and Use XP as it makes things easy.

AND what is (are) the most common mistake(s) that will brick my device when upgrading to 6.5 (besides cutting power/usb in process)?

make sure you have the right rom !!! you ll be fine

i was more scared when i realized i had a flash going on my harrier and had just popped out the battery. bricked to ****.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dashauns:
Yeah, there are no linux or android flashable roms... yet, but in regard to reasons to upgrade

1.smooth flick (or kinetic) scrolling basically everywhere in the operated system

2.some built in app are updated i.e. internet explorer, contacts app

3.compatibilility with newer programs, alot of newer programs wont run on 2003

4.new today screen with bigger font and new plugins

If any1 would like to add feel free to do so.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cerjam:
wm5. however they all feel slower, wm6.1 is just 6 with threaded SMS, which is slow.

I got my BA on ebay for 10 pounds by accident, and i couldnt stand that all my data was lost when you take the battery out (i think the backup battery in mine is gone, as even the quickest battery change over results in data loss).

6.5 isnt for everyone, its much more finger friendly (i've lost the stylus) and is much more compatible with apps and my kaiser and windows 7.. 2003 is more if you're an 'xp kinda person'

i havnt experienced ANY of this slowness you guys talk about, try updating your radio? i just wish this thing had edge at least!

ps if you follow the instructions to the word you can't go wrong, and still there are even ways to save it! For me personally i did it after a week, for 10 pounds its no loss ;)

personal choice, you can downgrade there are guides on the Wiki!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cerjam:
younoob is a good description of you my friend, no offense of course.

a) yes, it sounds like a flakybackup battery

b) finger friendly and god awful interface. i handle just find using my fingernail on WM5 in place of a stylus, i dont need a ****ing UI that looks like its built to be used by a penis. i think most people would agree with me here, specially since it takes away from the usability of the OS.

C) more COMPATIBLE? its the same **** as wm5/6. just a new interface, and slight codechanges. the only "better compatibility" you could be talking about, would be for newer programs which usually blow anyway since any decent dev would make it for all os's rather than just one. 2003 isnt the XP of wm, WM5 is. it's clean, and runs well without bloat. if it had the ram filesystem, itd be perfect.

D) upgrading..your radio..for lag in OS. i'm sorry you must not understand the difference between software speed and internet speed. i havent even used data on my BA, but when i had 6.5 the entire OS lagged and i about threw it at the wall. opening a SMS? lolwait30seconds. opening phonedialer? LOLWAIT10SECONDS. on wm2003/5? 2s for a sms, and dialer instantly.

All that nonesences about looking like Vista an Mac is just bullocks.

My BA is going six years, and with WM 6.5 and al the new apps availible, t looks and works great.

I have been through the whole range of OS versions, been back to 6.1 after an unstable 6.5, but went back to 6.5 with the new release.

I am very happy with it.

Its fast, sleek, easy to use, it all works.

Need more power, then overclock.

Just needs an camera boost.
