boas

1º não instales esta rom, pois é muito antiga e está desactualizada, instala antes a ultima rom disponibilizada pela HTC.

Quanto á compra do Topaz, na minha opinião o Topaz ainda é o melhor pda da HTC, pois consegue bater o HD2 em muitos pontos (e perder em apenas 2, led flash e processamento) que são:

Preço

Qualidade de acabamentos

Bugs

resistencia ao choque.

Quanto á camera a tirar fotos de noite, eskece, pois o unico e verdadeiro ponto negro do topaz é de não ter uma led flash para fotos há noite.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] PMoto:
Concordo plenamente com o Madsurfer1: O flash faz falta... mas é só o flash. Realmente, muito bom phone. Som de chamadas, até há uns boosters para aumentar os sons. SMS, tudo bem, mas tens que te habituar a escrever no touchscreen, e musicas, compra um cartão grande, ouves tudo na boa. Um adaptador USB/3,5mm será coisa obrigatória, mas arranja-se. Comprei um no MIAU por 8 Euros incluindo portes.

I have a major problem. I have a Touch pro flashed to cricket using t0o's rom. All of a sudden I can't receive incoming calls. I can make calls and internet works, but calls go straight to voicemail. Also data connection now randomly disconnects. I've researched this problem and have found other owners with similiar problem but have found no working solution. I'm no pro and I am wary of a hard reset as I don't fully understand what it entails. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] GuestX00823:
Hello all.

I use Windows mobile 6.1.

I would really like to be able to run mobipocket reader (and some other software) concurrently. Running multiple instances of a program at once is really useful as we dont have to close something just to open another document.

Can anybody tell me if there is a way to do this?
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
It depends on the software itself. The original Pocket PC methodology as published by MS was that only one copy of a program should be in memory at one time, and that it should only open one document at a time. If you create a shell C++ application in VS Studio, it contains the following code in the InitInstance function.

//If it is already running, then focus on the window
hWnd = FindWindow(szWindowClass, NULL);
if (hWnd)
{
// set focus to foremost child window
// The "| 0x01" is used to bring any owned windows to the foreground and
// activate them.
SetForegroundWindow((HWND)((ULONG) hWnd | 0x00000001));
return 0;
}

The comments are inserted by the VS code wizard.

Basically the application looks for another instance of itself in memory. If it finds one, it activates that copy before terminating itself.

By starting a second copy of the program, you merely reactivate the first one.

WinCE has a 32 process limit but this is set to change with WinCE 6.0. we will probably have to wait until at least WinMo 7 for this to filter through.
[General Questions and Answers] GuestX00823:
thanx stephj

do you know if anyone has created such a shell already?

I have heard of js hexmaster but couldn't find it anywhere, besides it's for application developers

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .Techno:
I recently updated my phone from 4.1 CM to 4.1.9 CM, and it was extreamly laggy so i just went to back to the old 4.04 CM which was fastest for me.

Everything is working fine except i can't get calls, i can call other people but they can't call me i could also get texts too.

When i call my phone, i just get a voicemail

Help please!

Okay, i took some risk and tried to fix it myself because noone would reply or help me.

Flashed the Android 1.6 Recovery Image (http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3) thinking that it was the problem that i can't get calls...so i flashed it and rebooted, it wouldn't get pass the G1 logo so i wiped and it rebooted in to android 1.6 firmware, i have no root and wifi doesn't even work so the market doesn't work for me. I tried going to back to the recovery menu...and i find out that its the default recovery menu with the exclamation point, great...I tried updating to CM but everytime i do i get "update aborted"

adb shell still work for me though...so i installed Recovery Flasher in hopes that i will give Cyanogen Recovery 1.4, but it doesn't work...i press the backup recovery image button and i get "backup FAILED." and when i press flash cyanogen recovery 1.4 i get "flash FAILED."

Anyone on this forum that can help..please do.

Thank you.

Gmail on Android says........

Gmail on Android shows new messages in your inbox as they arrive - without having to refresh or 'check mail.'

What would stop this from happening and make it have to update manually? When I go into settings, it shows the last time it updated, and that was the last manual one?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Im Packing:
So with custom ROMs on our X1s exactly what programs are compatabile with our phones from other devices? e.g., will HTC Touch Diamond or HTC Touch Pro games work with the Sex1? I know that programs specifically made for the X1 still work fine even with custom ROMs...at least, in my experience.

I see lots of softwares available for HTCs and I know some work with our phones, but a lot of them do not list the Sex1 on their compatibility list.

It's all about the OS and the chipses/drivers. Xperia can run everything made for WinMo and most of the things made specifically for the newer HTC devices, because of the same chipset/drivers.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
You will probably find that most LCD screens have the odd dead pixel or two. Even the "hallowed" iPhone has them!

You could certainly try to exchange it if you wanted, but there is no guarantee that the Hero you get back will be any better - it may even be worse.

My Hero has 2 dead pixels, but I can only really tell when it is booting up - in operation I don't notice them at all.

My first post on xda.

Tools > File Explorer > Windows > YouTube (444K sized file will do just fine)

Copy the file and

paste shortcut

in Start Menu> Programs

The next step is very important.

Goto:Settings >Connections>Connections>Advanced Tab: Select Network button: Change bottom drop down to Media Net. Both drop downs should be Media Net.

Thats it.

Hi,

I did as you stated but my YouTube program does not launch from within the start menu, it just stays highlighted when I click on it.

I did a soft reset and nothing changed.

It works if I go to Tools > File Explorer > Windows > YouTube 444K and click on the file.

Any one else had this problem and know how to fix it ?

Thanks

How do u copy and paste it to the start menu? I hit copy, but when I tap the start menu to open up the menu so I can paste it, it wont let me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
You don't paste it to the menu directly, you have to paste it in /Windows/start menu/programs directory on your phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Vic1307:
Youtube app in start menu

i had the same problem puttin the Youtube app that comes with the Tilt 2 on the start menu and actually getting it to work, but after a whole day of messin with the settings, i finally got it on the start menu, and workin!

first what i did was

opened the file explorer<windows

from here you will sort by name so it appears from a to z(only if u need to because mine showed from z to a)

then you will scroll down to the Youtube folder, click and hold down to copy.

after you copy it you will paste it under the program files (my device<program files)

after that you will need to copy the actuall app and add it to the start menu.

the app will be found under the my device<windows: scroll very closely to the bottom of the list to find the app, click on the one that says 25b. click and hold on it then copy it and paste it under the start menu folder at the top of the windows<programs.

now when you click your start menu there should be the youtube app and should work. i have only tested it under my wifi settings at the house but it should work on 3g.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

and if you want to rearrange the start menu, i recommened downloading the JWMD-Icon-Changer at:

pocketpc-freeware.net/jwmd-icon-changer-get-12511.html

i downloaded it fomr my pc and sync my phone to my pc after saving the app and draggin and droppin it into my phones file explorer and then installed it from there.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
Any reason we don't cut and Paste, instead of copying...doubling the file?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
You can't "paste" into the start menu folder....you can't paste into any folder that is already full, because there is no empty space that you can place your cursor on and hold to get menu to pop up.

If you try it ends up clicking on an item in the folder, because there are no empty spots to click on in the folder..

This is one thing that really annoys me with wm6.5....thank the idiot that designed this feature.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
ok, I just cut everything out of the start up menu file, and pasted the youtube file into the blank folder, then pasted everything else back into the start up menu.

annoying, but affective. Deleted Google's youtube. Like the stock look one much better. ;D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GWelker62:
Post #8!!! That is your answer!!!! Do NOT COPY the exe file to the start menu!! Either copy the YouTube.lnk file to the start menu, or send the exe file to the start menu as a short cut. Also, if you are using the native file explorer, then you may not see the .lnk or .exe file extensions to know the difference.

You should see the files in this order:

*at$t rom*

YouTube.exe (with YT icon) 458k

YouTube.exe.0409 (windows icon) 10.9k

YouTube.lnk (YT icon) 25b <-- file size should be another clue it is just a short cut.

You want a copy of the .lnk file in the start menu.

There are two YouTube apps, one is an HTC app that is hidden on the phone, the other is Google's and it has to be downloaded. I like the HTC app better myself btw.

A few minutes ago my HTC Fuze (in sig) voice command voice randomly said something along the lines of "Urgent message ______ <date?>2009" and now the center button is blinking every several seconds as it does for any sort of alert (missed call, new text, etc). I don't have any missed calls, new texts, or new voicemail; the notifications list is blank, and I have never had anything in Tasks... what else can I check?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jokeyrhyme:
I've been a regular reader of these forums since researching my first Android purchase. Over this time I have seem many new ROM projects born. I would like to argue that many of these projects are so similar that they are pointless.

I'm calling out anyone whoever made a new Hero/HTC-Sense ROM. Seriously. When you saw the 10 other Hero guys out there, what made you think it was better to release your own flavour instead trying to participate in an existing project?

I've taken a look, and as far as I can tell, there should only be 3 non-factory ROM projects:

- CyanogenMod, because of the effort Steve goes to stay 100% legal and teeter on the bleeding edge of Google's source code

- 1 Hero/Sense UI ROM, because we actually only need 1, why don't you guys work together, sheesh

- 1 Blur rip-off ROM, because goodness knows there are going to be people who actually think it's a great idea

Just because Android is based on Linux, doesn't mean we have to make all the same mistakes that has dogged and doomed Linux from the beginning. We don't need to splinter into a billion different distributions, at least not yet. Looking at the feature lists for many of these similar ROMs, the only thing that is different is additional locales or small bug fixes, hardly worth the effort of repackaging. /sigh

*end nerd rage* :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
i doubt they end. its their project, they build it how they like it and they share it. people do not have to download it. there are many reasons why they release their own, they have more freedom to do what they want. in past rom devs work together then they split up due to differences. working together is all fine and good but this isnt a utopian world haha, people have different opinions on how to move forward with a project.

just because you dont want to download and try different builds dont mean they should stop
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iScott78:
I understand how you feel, but isn't that what this site is for? If we only had those three ROM's, then this would be a very boring site. I personally like when people take other ROM's and tweak it to their liking. I don't have a clue on how to cook ROM's, but others do, and they might make one that fits my needs. Just my opinion though....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] twistedumbrella:
As a regular reader you should know that there are about 5 different versions of Hero floating around to base off of. There are 2 different versions of blur. There is also pulse, donut, cupcake, and variations on them.

Hero includes: Tattoo (a specialized mix of donut and sense), the sense ui merged with magic, the official release Hero, the non-official beta Hero, and the Sprint Hero. (And if you ever read the threads, we do all work together) There are also multiple opinions on BFS and a2sd, which allows for variations.

Blur has both a Hero and a Cyanogen based version, depending on which way they decided to go to get the supporting files for the main system.

The rest are obvious, and I don't feel like going into that much detail.

If we all followed your beleif, updates would take twice as long and not have nearly as many features. Rather than Drizzy, JustAnotherCrowd, Cyrowski, and myself all waiting for the one day we all have 2 hours to meet on google talk, share files, and build an update... JAC relelases an update, Cyrowski writes a new boot image, I restructure the way a2sd operates, and Drizzy comes along and adds in some new apps he restructured to work on that build. Some people choose to stop somewhere along the path and stick to that ROM, others go all the way down the road. If there were only one update, most Devs would spend half the day just telling people how to disable, remove, or add the feature they integrated.

I just dont see how less is more in this case. If you don't like all the updates, do what I do. I have the ones I actually read followed, and I only ever take a quick glance at the first page of posts before checking those. If I miss anything important, it is only ever by a day. If it's that important, it inevitably gets bumped to the first page long before it becomes so old that I surely learned it somewhere else.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jokeyrhyme:
Hehe.

Okay, I get that there's a matrix of every possible version of Android against every different sort of UI (ie Hero+Donut, Blur+Cupcake, etc). My shortlist is obviously too short. But it's difficult to pick out, for example, the best Hero ROM. And I can see the same thing happening with Blur as it becomes more and more in vogue.

Watching 3 different Hero versions, you might decide that ROM A almost perfectly suits your needs except for the bug that only got fixed in ROM B. And ROM C has both the features and the bug fix, but has an ugly custom UI somewhere. So then you think to yourself "why don't I just make package D?". The only way you'll know anything for sure is to spend time trying out however many different ROMs knowing very well that there's a chance you'll be forced to compromise. The only differences between many of these ROMs seems to be the Android version, pre-installed applications and custom kernels.

I know I came off fairly irate and impetuous in my original post. But when you can see all these talented developers producing so many different forks and reproducing so much effort, it can be very frustrating for an enthusiastic end user.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] joen_:
I don't agree and don't understand your frustration. You use what you want to use, let other people make their own decisions.

I happen to prefer Enomther's roms because they are more customizable in terms of what is included on the rom through the expansion pack and expension pack setup. I don't like arbitrary modifications as I prefer to have my phone close to vanilla Android but have performance improvements added. But going by your opinion it should not exist. Who are you to determine which rom's are pointless? I really don't understand the fuss. Different people have different preferences. If you prefer limited/no choice get an iPhone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jaschen:
Unfortunately each Rom runs differently on each phone. My friend has the blurry screen problem while I dont. He can only run a few selected roms some of which doesn't do what he wants to do. I have gone though about 30 different roms before settling on one and quite frankly I think its pretty fun. I am on the bleeding edge of. techology.

I wish I would make a Rom. I have so many ideas for one.
