Touch Screen not working, how can I get past the touch the Android boot screen with the keyboard? I picket a phone that someone messed up installing a rom on prett ycheaply from a used phone shop... I am flashing it to find out I think the touch screen doesnt work. I am tryign to find out what I can do..

I got it flashed but cant get past the boot "touch the android" Initial screen to get to the terminal to try to run fix permissions in order to see if that will fix the screen and update teh recovery console so I can try to load some different mods easier..

Anyone know if it easy to fix a touchscreen? The display works... there is no visible damage...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Patrick22:
A lot of weeks I have a problem, where I can't find an answer for.

A few weeks ago I bought the Sennheiser MM200 Bluetooth stereo headset. This set has an great sound quality, so I'm very happy with this headset.

I hoped that it would be possible to uses this Sennheiser headset in combination with the radio on my HTC TD. But unfortunately I haven't find an answer yet, or it's possible or not to listening radio with a Bluetooth headset on the HTC TD.

So is there anyone knows there is a workaround to let work the radio with a Bluetooth headset?

Tanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Ludacris:
You cant as the wired headset is the antenna
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Patrick22:
And do you know or it's possible to use the wired headset only for the radio signal, and use my Bluetooth headset for the sound?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tonic101:
I have been trying to find out how to do just this.

I ride a motorbike, and have a bluetooth crash helmet with buit in speakers / mike which works a treat for answering and making calls and indeed listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.

However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the radio via bluetooth. As you have also discovered, the headset acts as an antena but then diconects the sound from the bluetooth headset when connected. I figure that there must be a way to program the phone to use the blutooth headset as the default "speaker" and the plug in headset as only the antena.

I will repost this thread in the Topaz forum too to see if anyone has a solution.

One partial solution that I have discovered is streaming radio via an internet connection. This works, although the connection stream is not always the best and of course there is a data "overhead charge" involved.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
no it's not possible to have both a wired headset connected an a bluetooth

even if the wires headset is only acting as antenna
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tonic101:
I finally got it to work using the file posted at the end of this thread.

I have a game that I downloaded that runs in jave, but it only takes up a quarter of the screen. Does anyone know how to make the game scale to my screen size?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ziva032000:
Does it worth upgrading from wm6.1 to wm6.5 ?

Or should we stick to wm6.1 ?

The wm6.5 interface looks nice, but I don't know whether it is buggy.

And I don't want a honeycomb start menu!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ArtieQ:
6.5 is imo way better than 6.1, I really like the startmenu and the lockscreen (now I don't need to install S2U2 anymore). It's not sluggish at all for me and I haven't discovered any bug(s) yet.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
6.5 is much better if you compare to 6.1.

I know Microsoft does not give, as pexpected in 6.5, but TD2 is designed for 6.5. So no second thoughts.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] radzi:
Yes between 6.1 and 6.5, 6.5 is much userfriendly and touch friendly, good looking, but the original ROM that came with is much better, now with official 6.5 I have to restart the phone everyday and hang some apps like Live Messenger.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] TheRealDave:
only downside is the honeycomb menu. admitedly it sucks and i don't know how to change it yet.

on the other hand though, its a much quicker, sleaker and overall better feeling OS. I say upgrade :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ziva032000:
Thank you for all the comments!

I thought wm6.1 would be better. (Glad that I was wrong)

The wm 6.5 sounds good! Mm...tempting...!!!

But the honeycomb start menu is still problem :( I think it looks untidy and I've seen people trying to arrange the icons. Troublesome. Maybe I will upgrade my TD2 until someone finds a way to change the honeycomb start menu.

One question, is there TF3D in wm6.5?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mitsi:
I have had roms with WM6.5 on before. There aren't many differences to my mind between this and WM6.1. There are just a few aesthetics. Other than that, there aren't any appreciable benefits.

The other thing is with the HTC upgrade WM6.5, this is based on Manila 2.1. I use and prefer Manila 2.0. Basically, 2.0 can show the next couple of weeks of appointments on your home screen. Manila 2.1, 2.5 and 2.6 only give you today and tomorrow. That's a show stopper for me in itself! Therefore, I'm sticking with the stock rom with 6.1. I did try ESSential (or something like that) which is based on the stock rom with 6.1 and manila 2.0. This was quite good in terms of speed/memory/stability, but there were a couple of bits that I didn't like, so reverted back to the stock rom. There is plenty of ram available on the TD2 and the stock 6.1 rom is very stable....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mike Austin:
Having not installed it myself, that is the overall impression I am getting from this forum. If the Bluetooth had been fixed so that I could use it as an external modem, I would upgrade. Otherwise it seems a sort of 'sidegrade'.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
That was my impression too based on the 6.5 ROM I tried a while back (I can say that safely now I see others are "coming out" too!). I think 6.1 and 6.5 are closely related underneath, it's mostly the new interface which differentiate them. If it was going to be that much different, it would have been called 7.0

@mitsi: First of all, Hi! I'm from Sutton (just round the corner). What didn't you like about !Aman!'s TESS 6.1 ROM? I'm using it now instead of stock, I sorted out most of the differences which annoyed me. It's nice to have all the latest versions of the apps in one package, and the storage space and RAM boost are useful too.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Xinot:
This icon arrange problem is why i use new cooked roms. 23017 build and upwards you can arrange icons with easy drag and drop style. Working ok...

And yes, there is TF3D/Sense...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mitsi:
Hi Pete from Sutton! Two geeks within 2 miles! That's a high density, isn't it!

Most Rom Chefs seem to be concentrating on Manila 2.1, 2.5 and 2.6 at the moment. It was Aman's rom that I tried. This was very good. But there were a couple of points which I didn't like. Plus points were the Aman ram (about 10mb more free than stock) and rom (again about 20-30mb more free than stock) but minus points were the manila was compressed (so I couldn't alter it with my manila modifier (that's not what the programme is called, but I can't remember what it was) and also I couldn't disable the HSDPA/HSUPA in the settings which doubles my battery life and doesn't seem to slow up internet. It was a close call, but the stock rom won for me as it has enough rom/ram (200mb/85mb free) anyway.

I'll look out for someone with his burried in his TD2.... ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] munrobasher:
No contest for me - 6.5 is much better. Lots of incremental and small changes make the overall experience much better.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
I've got it in TESS: Settings-All settings-Connections-Advanced network.

I hadn't given it a second thought, always had it on "enable HSDPA" (thought it must be a "good thing"),must try without. T-Mobile is so slow anyway, doubt I'll detect a difference

I really hadn't realised that and I did have ambitions to "hack" some of the pages

I find TESS generally quicker and more responsive, I don't think I'm imagining it, and would find it hard to go back.

Yeah, I'm the idiot on the Sutton to London train with that Sony Bluetooth stick clipped to my t-shirt which make people think I'm a right...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mitsi:
Hi Pete,

For the HSDPA, I know there is a setting there in the Aman rom, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Disabling it on the stock rom seriously improved my battery life from one day to two.

I want/need to edit the Manila because I don't like the HTC green, so I amend all the Manila, bmp's and png's myself to make them dark red :D

I think you are right about the speed, but to be honest, I didn't notice that much difference, so the stock rom is good enough for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] goonerjae:

[General Questions and Answers] RicFusion:
Ok, so I'm definitely no expert, and I've done a bit of searching seeing that people are trying to find ways to backup their proprietary google bits when it comes to the Cease and Desist order laid down upon Cyanogen. I was messing around in Terminal Emulator today and found a way to list all of the proprietary bits. I was wondering why it gives me this message, when I try to copy one of these files to the SD card?

Once I understand why it "omits" the directory, and fails to copy the file, I will continue working on getting these bits to backup, so we can keep our google apps. Me personally, I use Google Maps like it's going out of style, so losing it is not an option for me, but I love CyanogenMod Roms. Thanks for any help. I can post the rest of the code if need be.
[General Questions and Answers] RicFusion:
Nevermind. I messed around with it a bit more and found out how to do it. I can now copy the proprietary google apps, to the sd card. Here is the command I used in order to make it work.

If you look now, whatever named app you copied, will now be on your sd card!

So, is anyone up for helping me write a script, and or app that will allow this to run?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gshadefull:
hi.

First of all, this is the development area. You should have asked in the general area...

If you would have searched the forums, you would of found that your question is not the only one.

You can use PicMe, a free app you can download in the market that sets up a server and you go to a desktop browser, enter the server address and it will show you the current screen.

You have 3 modes:

Static (single image - right click - save as - .png)

Live (does what is says... a bit laggy)

Standalone (a standalone version of the viewer)

The servers address is set up is something like http://192.168.1.101:8082 (http://your.ip.address:8082)

Your phone must be connected by WiFi in the same network with your desktop.

I haven't tried through 3G yet, so I can't really tell.

Hope this solves your question...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptoro07:
So I am trying to learn some about how android works. I am interested in how it works with the hardware. I am not a developer or interested in porting android to another device, but as I look at the hardware specs of say the Touch Pro2 and the hero, they are similar and the chipsets are close (same family). Recently i read that the CEO of HTC said he will not make a Android version of the TP2, so my question is this:

What is special about the hardware of the android device that it runs android, but the TP2 cannot? I know that people have been working on porting Android to other WinMo devices, but with limited success. So what is the stumbling block?

I'm just curious about this topic and was hoping some of the smart folks from XDA would know.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I believe that much like computer hardware, each component requires drivers, and those need to be written for WinMo devices. In the alpine section they've been port WinMo 5, but couldn't due to lack of drivers.

Also all WinMo devices are resistive, Android (up until 1.6) was all capacitive, which I believe is another issue.

Anyway, the Droid is better than the TP2 =P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jank0023:
Since I got my Tilt2 I've been complaining about the voice quality and see many others have too across all the makes tmo/tilt2/etc.

Some described the problem better than me in that it seems like the passover/midrange is lacking which is causing the muffled sound.

Can anyone develop or enable existing equalizer programs so they can be used with the earpiece? I would think there is the potential if we could crank up the treble or midrange perhaps we could improve the voice sound quality..

Any thoughts from the forum?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aZzz.bZzz:
it wont fix the problem completely, cause it seems to be hw, otherwise all tp2's would have this issue

my opinion its just faulty earpiece speakers, its hard to believe such vendor could allow that, but i think so

Hey,

after playing around with the XMLs that were used to create the blur animations on-source, i finally understood how the whole thing works :P if anyone wants a how-to, i'll of course point you in the right direction ;)

for now, it only changes the lockscreen animation to a slide out to the upper part of the screen... but in theory it's possible to do anything! hope someone will pick this up and do some modding here...

i tried to make a metamorph update file of the whole thing... not sure if i did it right, just try it out.... you will need this script in order to install the animation...:

[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
point away :D
[Android Themes] the_fish:
alright :)

first of all, set up a repo on your machine (http://source.android.com/download)

(you don't need to build the whole thing, do make framework)

for the editing, ./frameworks/base/core/res/res/anim/*.xml is the way to go...

you can seek for commands like fromAlpha and toAlpha in other xmls (that's the way i discovered them lol) and insert them properly... which means you mustnt insert it after the </set> for example... gedit is a good way to see what you did wrong... then, after running make framework, go extract the res/anim/*.xml files from the framework-res.apk which is in the path the compiler "tells" you, and insert them into the cm-mod / whatever framework-res.apk, adb push it to /system/framework and reboot ;)

not that detailed but basically that's what i was doing :P btw: currently editing chargin animation (adding fade stuff) ohh forgot to say, the drawables folder also has those xmls ;)

edit: sorry. I see you already did this, Thnx!

i just realized you can basically make anything animated! for example if signal changes, you can make it fade in nicely! :) just add android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" behind android:duration="animationtime" at those anims...

in theory... didn't try out yet. :P

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENN@!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] betelgeuse74:
I'm a little confused.

I have been experimenting with different ROM's for my 32A device, all based on the official HTC Sense release for Magic.

I have tried:

CaSense 1.0

MyHero 2.0.4

HoFo 3.0.5

I've been a long time MyHero user, and i have been very pleased with both performance and functionality. Switched to CaSense to try something new. It works very well too. Since I already wiped, I downloaded the third 32a ROM, this time the Official HoFo Community ROM.

Now I'm lost. In my opinion there are very few differences between the three. Which one should I choose?

I would probably get different answers from the different followers.

Does anybody know advantages/disadvantages of the different ROM's?

Is there an updated comparison chart of the different ROM's exist? (I know there is a 32B comparison chart, but not for 32A, and I don't know if any of there are updated, or even possible to keep updated due to the rapid development of new versions...)

Why are there so many similar ROM's available?

It seems that most (all) developers are working together to find solutions to issues, and most ROM's have the same functionality and faults in them. So why do we have so many options?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raymar23:
I would also like some input on this subject also :)

Hello all,

I've been lurking on the forum for a while now, and my 32A magic should be on its way now...

Information about different flavours of cooked roms for magic with Sense seems scarse so, to me, if anyone who knows better the differences between them and wants to share, I'd be more than happy to know =)

Cheers,
