[G1 Android Development] rpcameron:
Actually, XNU is the kernel that Apple uses for Mac OS X, Darwin and iPhone OS. Darwin is merely the generic name of the OS X platform. It is Mach-based, and uses many BSD components. Its architecture is quite different from Linux.

Why in the world would you replace the kernel and the rest of the system with Darwin? There are no drivers for most of the hardware. Even those open-source drivers being developed by the Replicant project are Linux drivers, which are different from the drivers used in Darwin.

Furthermore, Android (well, specifically Dalvik) only runs on Linux, so you are sacrificing all of your phone functionality. Even if you get drivers for the hardware, you will only have a 528MHz Arm-based computer with a QVGA screen.

Is there a hero rom out there with the new market from 1.6?

How bout with the new google maps and youtube from 2.0????

Or is there a way to add them to any hero rom ????
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsoluteDesignz:
no no and no.

LOL. Awesome.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndd333:
HTC needs to update Sense UI to work with 1.6 first off. Same goes for motoBLUR. Both UI's need to be updated and ported to Android 1.6...I'm thinkin' 2.0 is a ways off especially for proprietary UI layers like Sense and BLUR :(

10 days ago I went to pick up my phone and noticed that the clock time didn't look right. When I looked at a regular clock I could see that my phone was 27 minutes slow. I thought my phone was syncing time with the network, but it's not and I can't even find a setting that allows that. I had to manually reset the time on the phone to correct it. I wondered if I might have changed the time by accident and passed it off as odd.

Two days later it happened again and then it happened again the day after that. Within a one week period this happened 3 times. I installed TimeSyncTZ to give myself piece of mind.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. If it keeps happening I think I might need to get my Tilt2 replaced.

Settings/clocks and alarms

Set the home time zone.

We have 2 tilt2's and this happened to both last week. We changed them to eastern US and i just saw mine was on indiana AGAIN,BUT my time is correct for eastern US
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] catcraig:
I thought it was possibly a time zone issue, but then it would have been off by an hour. My time zone never changed. It's always been set to GMT -6. In fact I have several time zones set up on my phone and they were all off by 27 minutes just like the local time.

The only thing that changed was the time on the clock as if I had gone and set it myself to some random time. The 2nd and 3rd time it happened it was off by about 30 minutes as well. It was if time stood still on my phone for a little while.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bdfx69:
WM6 was freezing my Tilt last week. I got fed up troubleshooting and upgraded to 6.1 on Monday. Yesterday I noticed my time off by a few hours (and minutes) while the device was connected to my PC. It was about 11:15am and my device showed 8:07am. This was the 1st issue with time since I had the device. It wasn't a TZ issue and shortly after I disconnected from the PC, the time sync'd correctly with the network. The device did not match the PC time either. I'm continue to monitor, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] carhigh:
Mine is yet again set to indiana for some reason. Doesnt make much of a difference i dont think. Same time zone. Odd that its not sticking hen i set to eastern
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Zylograth:
have you considered alien abduction as a cause for your missing minutes?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p_shep:
WTF!

I'm late to work this morning bacuase, some how, the phone lost 45 minutes over night! Just sitting there!

How the hell did that happen!? It's unacceptable!

This is a stock T-mobile USA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] catcraig:
I've been lucky that all three times it happened to me were during the daytime when I had a good idea about what the time really was. I couldn't help thinking about what would happen if it did that in the middle of the night and I got up late for work. I'd be in the same boat with you. I haven't used a watch or an alarm clock for years. This is the first time I've had a cell phone mess up the time like that.

Unacceptable is the word that comes to mind for me as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p_shep:
If you got to:

Settings -> Communications -> Phone (change settings) -> Advanced -> Time zones

The check box: 'Automatic change time zone and clock'

I had that set, so it should correct the clock if anything goes wrong... SURELY!?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] greenbep:
I kept having this problem too (I'm on the East Coast, and it kept changing to Indiana). The only way I could fix it was to uncheck the "Automatic change time zone and clock" box on the Time Zones tab in phone options, and it seems to be OK now. Maybe the towers are off... Definitely weird and annoying.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] gk141054:
Hi guys,

I have got my G2 Touch (Hero) sat at home waiting for me and cannot wait to get back and play with it.

I was hoping you guys could help me with the following questions though:

1. How do I know if I should bother rooting it or not? If I root at a later date will I lose all of my other stuff on the phone?

2. How do I know if I have Donut on my phone and if I don't, should I root first or update to donut first?

3. Is there a list of "mush have apps" on the forum... I've spent all day reading articles on "must haves" but was hoping for "real life" feedback from you guys on what I must get.

Thanks

G
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
be prepared to wipe everything, as this is the solution for 95% of all problems (people not wiping before upgrade). don't you dare to ask for help before you wiped and reflashed ;) afaik you can get root access without wiping, but i am pretty sure you are going to want a custom rom like modacos rom, and this almost inevitably means you have to wipe.

in q&a there is a thread for what you can do with root. it is not really complete, another try is to search for "root" in the market. most applications that need root access are found by this, so you can see what you could do if you where rooted.

easy one. there is no donut rom for hero (except for a custom one here on the forum, which does not _really_ work), so you don't have it on your phone. imho: don't bother updating to donut rom, unless you know what you are doing.

what about the thread called "must have apps on your Hero" here in the themes&applications section? i don't think it will get any better than that... you need to do the reading yourself, you won't find a post that says "here is a zip with the ten apps you need to be happy" (well maybe you will find it, but i doubt that actually will be happy with it).

you're welcome.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gk141054:
Hi kendong2, thanks for the response...

I have read about this update on tmobile's website...

http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS&tab=2

If this isn't the Donut update, is it just an updated version of the original rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
It isn't Donut - it is just the T-Mobile version of the 2.73 ROM. Since your phone is very new, it probably already has it anyway, but to check go to Menu-> Settings -> About Phone, and check the build number. If it starts 2.73, you've already got the updated ROM.

If you get a 1.xx build number, my advice would be *not* to install the T-Mobile update as it will make it much harder for you to move to a custom ROM at a later date. You should download and install a generic 2.73 that has been pre-rooted.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
or start with modaco right away :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gk141054:
Hi again guys...

Checked my Touch last night and it is on 1.76

I'm a bit weary about rooting and installing generic / custom roms for fear of voiding the warranty and then owning a £500 brick...

Will updating to 2.73 from tmobile really make it harder to move to a custom rom later....?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Put it this way -if you upgrade to 2.73 via the T-Mobile RUU, in order to move to a custom ROM in future you will have to "downgrade" to a generic HTC 2.73 ROM via a Goldcard (see here) which is much more complicated when you've already got a ROM on your phone which is "exploitable".

The other thing you should bear in mind is that when Android 2.0 is released for the Hero, it will likely first come out as a ROM for unbranded phones with operator branded versions following some time later. This is what happened when 2.73 was released, and T-Mobile in particular was quite tardy in getting its own version out.

So, if you want to go to Android 2.0 sooner rather than later, you should look at a non-T-Mobile version of 2.73 now.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gk141054:
Thanks very much for the advice guys, going to do as you suggested.

Unfortunately I have more questions though:

1. to load the generic 2.73 I just "oneclickroot" (found the video on youtube to follow) and then download the theme and rename it "update.zip" put this onto your memory card, turn off your phone then press and hold the "home" button while pressing the power button.... keep the "home" button down until you get to the recovery screen then select flash the update.zip as you would a rom. Is that right or have I missed anything?

2. Having a Tmobile G2 Touch rather than a Hero won't make any difference to the rom that I choose will it?

3. Will putting a new rom on lose my contacts or widgets / scenes etc?

4. Can you recommend a nice rom to go for, like what you guys are using? Want it to look nice, be stable but fast :D

Cheers again for the help guys.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Answers!

1. Can't help here as I didn't use the one-click method.

2. No.

3. Yes. However, if you've synced your contacts to Google, you will get them back again once you set the phone up again.

4. Modaco - nuff said.

Dave

Call Firewall + SMS Blocker - DOWNLOAD

Call Firewall basically rejects unwanted call , it acts a call and SMS filter program and based on the rules set by the used it can reject incoming calls and sms . It can also enable call barring. Imagine you have this really annoying friend and don’t wanna attend his/her call , then you set that persons number in Black list and as soon as they call you the call disconnects. It also lets you reject a call with a predefined SMS , which is sent to the caller.

Features

Accecpt all calls – pretty self explainatory

Accept call from My Contacts only – accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected

Reject all calls – pretty self explainatory

White List – accepts calls only from the white listed numbers

Black List – accepts all call except from the black listed nos

Black List Pattern – any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected. for eg. if you enter “123″, so all nos STARTING from “123″ will be rejected this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.

Automatically add outgoing/ incoming calls as Appointments.

There is also an option to reply with an SMS.

You need NetCF 3.5 installed first.

Hi,

Maybe this is solved somewhere here but I really can't found right solution.

So please, if you know or read something pls help or post link.

I've installed Win7 (maybe some of pre-relase (non official) but they're awesome, i haven't found any problems except this.)

As many of you knows, in vista and 7 is WMDC instead of AS.

My KAISER(Wm6.1) is connected well, everything seems allright. I can browse the phone, install apps etc. But I can't sync outlook. And that really sux, you know :(

Sometimes WMDC writes some kind of error and network problem and its always cycling the arrows and "synchronizing" but never finishes.

Thanx for any answers or links to right topics.

This HD2 looks like a very interesting phone to me. One question keeps coming back and I can't find a real answer to it....What about android/iphone AR programs like wikitude or layar. Are they soon going to be implemented for windows mobile also or do we have to wait till windows mobile 7?

Hi all,

I'm using my rooted G1 with enom's excellent ROM and it's working brilliantly well.

We don't have 3G in our country yet (hopefully very soon) and so I got myself a gprs/edge connection today.

But I can't login to gmail or gtalk or any site or app that uses https or ssl. Otherwise, I can search on google and visit google maps and xda-developers forum. This is with the android browser. I also tried it with Opera mini but that doesn't connect to anything at all. I presume that's because it connects to opera's server using https.

I couldn't find anything on the net for this problem nor even on the forums. Has anyone else encountered this error? I'll probably try it on my roomie's cell later on to see if it's being firewalled by my provider, but could it be because of some setting I need to change on the phone?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Is it just me, or does the old Bepe Kitchen seem to produce more stable ROMS? I have tried cooking my roms with both, and I think the old style kitchen is better. There are some difficult aspects, such as not being allowed to have duplicate files, etc., but I have found that the old kitchen works better.

What are your thoughts on this?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jerpelea:
both kitchens are stable as long as you control module relocation and wich files are made modules

also vk alows more modules wich can speedup rom if you have native xip

Only for 6.5. Bepe's platform builder (not the old kitchen) can do this as well.

If you can access the recovery image, you can flash any ROM that you want. That Rogers original ROM must not be rooted, so you have not root access.

Oh ok. I was scared I wouldnt be able to flash to another ROM cuz this applications were telling me I had no root access even when I rooted already.

[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zsNI-kjz4s&feature=player_embedded

both are very fast compared to current devices but the acer plays the video clip @ %262. HD2 plays the same clip at only %228. considering that both have the same CPU and considering that the HD2 had dedicated 128 video memory and much more available memory, do these numbers make any sense to you?

the Touch diamond 2 was also about %13 faster than my xperia playing the same video in core player even though they have the same CPU speed

UPDATE: WTH the new Retail ROM is Even slower in everything

http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2009/11/11/htc-hd2-retail-rom-benchmarks-slower-than-before/

there absolutely no reason for this big difference between the two devices. especially when you consider that the NeoTouch has less specs.

would someone with a device try to disable Manilla and redo these tests

hope the HSPL gets done soon enough
[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
the only thing i can think of that make explain part of the discrepancy, is that the s200 has a cleaner smaller rom.

anybody here with an HD2 can do some tests with core player and see the effect of speed after disabling Sense
[HD2 General] xmoo:
I couldn't believe it aswell. Mayb having a smaller screen makes a diffrence....

If the HD2 does not turn into what it suppose to be, I'ma get me a Acer F1.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Given HTC's previous attitude when it comes to getting performance out of hardware, it makes perfect sense and is exactly what I would have expected.

Same CPU clockspeed, but a different CPU. :) The MSM7200 is a lot faster than the MSM7201.
[HD2 General] Toss3:
Would make sense if they used different OS:s or different versions of coreplayer, but as they don't something else must be wrong here.
[HD2 General] kb0n:
Still it was not the final HD2 ROM, so relax, nothing to worry about yet.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Like the drivers? :)

They have the same resolution, how can the screen affect it?

I wouldn't pay money for an Acer even if it had the speed of a supercomputer and made coffee.
[HD2 General] br3nt:
maybe (long-shot here) but what he means is that the power to keep the screen on is using the CPU power hence the loss of power going to playback, resulting in lower percentage.... the movie also started after the Acer, even though they were pushed at the same time...

maybe the htc sense is using up "power" ?

btw, +1 on second phrase.... but about the coffe... do you think it can make hot coco to? :p :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Toss3:
The drivers don't matter in coreplayer as neither have gpu-acceleration in that specific application, so it all comes down to general processing speed in which they should pretty much equal each other. Guessing HTC's own rom is a bit slower than acer's, but that should be fixed by all of the very talented cooks on this forum. :)
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Really? Does CorePlayer not need APIs like DirectX to render? And what makes those APIs work with hardware?
[HD2 General] Toss3:
