Completely agree with SAppie. It is indeed such a remarkably good phone.

There is one point though to mention to do with this topic (and all others that are of the same) and that is not to do with how to close the applications down but how to gain access to programs already running.

With my Touch HD I used the HTC Task Manager to re-open a program I wanted to quickly get back to.

Now with the HD2 if you want to access a program that is still running in memory you have to either drop down to the Home Tab and use a 'Favorites' Icon or go through the long-winded Start and scroll through all the programs/Games until you re-find the one you want to access and run.

Not exactly user friendly....... or am I missing something here?

About the Taskmanager

[HD2 General] -NRG-:
I made an example how i would like to see it. I don't like the homescreen that much of HTC:

http://www.2nrg.nl/winmo.html

So when you hold your finger for a few seconds on the title of the program you'll get an option like "Always Show".

To make the title of the programs permanent in your homescreen.

As you could see marketplace was added to the homescreen (didn't shoose the option "Always Show" to show what would happen if you pressed the X). Here you are able to close programs that are open with the "X" (right bottom) so you can easely close programs you don't need to use anymore to free up memory space. Also with the "Always Show" option you could add "Move to Top" to allow people to order them like they want it.

I also made some suggestions here:

http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobilesuggestions/thread/e86fb22f-8419-47e4-b7cf-01608ebbb121

And my idea is to use the lockscreen for widgets like the weather, f1 countdown time and other personal stuff.
[HD2 General] skr_xd:
No need for such a lengthy process.

Just add the quick link for Microsoft task manager in home screen.

Open the task manager. It shows the running programs. Just double click on the program which is running in background. It will open .
[HD2 General] kersh:
yes, works fine

I was using duttys taskmanager until I see this program try it, and bye bye htc taskmanager.

I was looking for something like that for months.
[HD2 General] Beards:
I only found out about the method you mention later that day...

I am using it at the moment but you have to admit it's still not as convenient as

simply clicking the close button and then click on the application you want to bring forward..... Two presses on the screen, that's all.
[HD2 General] Archer:
This one brings back the "quick menu" dropdown in the Sense UI.

[HD2 General] p3eps:
Question:

I got my HD2 today. Until now, I've been running Dutty's HD2 ROM on my Blackstone - all good, but MUCH slower than the HD2!

On Dutty's ROM, the Windows Task Manager is set as one of the 3 quicklaunch boxes on the home screen - which I like. I want to do the same on my HD2. If I copy taskmgr from the Windows directory to the windows/start menu folder, the icon I get is HORRIBLE and pixelated! How can I do this and get a nice big icon?!
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
I dont get an option for microsoft task manager, it does not even come up????
[HD2 General] bommel0815:
copy the TaskMgr.lnk from \Windows to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs

then you can add it to the quick launcher
[HD2 General] Beards:
Or you could navigate to Start/Settings then at the bottom select Menu/All Settings. Next click on System and scroll down til you see the icon Task Manager, now click & hold then let go ~ a window will pop up saying 'Move to Top'. Click on this and a copy of the Task Manager will be sent as the first item in the list when you next press Start.

Tutorial for rooting the Samsung Behold :D:D:D

Requirements:

Android SDK

This file: http://rapidshare.com/files/304169950/try3

alt link http://www.4shared.com/file/148564303/bf9be869/try3.html

Press Windows+R, type in cmd.

Then do:

cd <Directory where try3 is>

adb push try3 /data/local

adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/try3

adb shell

./data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh

mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system

cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su

chmod 04755 /system/bin/su

exit

exit

Now you have root, via "su" ;)

I was wondering if anyone is working on a Recovery Image for the Behold2, is root all we need to enable flashing ROMs on the Behold2 once we have a running recovery and root?
[Android Software Development] kam187:
I wonder if someone who has rooted could grab the system partiton for us?

Something like this:

# cat /proc/mtd

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"

mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"

mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"

mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"

mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"

Find the one thats 'system' and then assuming its mtd3 do:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/mtd3.img

This way you dont need to mess about with nandroid and the custom recovery.
[Android Software Development] Zinx Verituse:
I'm glad to see you guys have found some use for the "asroot2" program I ported from Ingo Molnar's exp_moosecox.c! I am perplexed why it was renamed to "try3".

someone help, it won't let me connect through adb, it keeps saying no devices found, I turned on USB debugging, and I turned off mass storage only mode in the phone settings> additional settings menu. I updated all drivers, and nothing is coming up. I'm using Windows 7 Professional x64 if anyone is wondering. Didn't have this problem with my GSM Hero before.
[Android Software Development] byt3b0mb:
confirmed that this works - for adb to recognize the phone you need to go to USB settings and change it from mass storage to PC Studio. all steps in the first post worked just fine. now have # instead of $ woooohooooo...
[Android Software Development] chaoscentral:
After I rebooted the phone I no longer got #, instead I got $, so not a permenant root, just a temporary one it seems...
[Android Software Development] kam187:
So the phone has the same 7200 processor as the Galaxy (528Mhz), and 320Mb RAM.

Its security locked, and has no fastboot. There seem to be bootloader protected partitions inside some security container. On reboot, if a modified system or boot partition is detected it will restore the running partitions. Thats why a modified su doesnt stick.

We tried flashing a modified samsung recovery to the behold using the Odin samsung recovery tool, and it was accepted. But on reboot it was restored again to stock :(

That means without a bootloader hack its not going to be possible to run custom roms on this phone.

One workaround is to use a loader or rebooter, which will boot a modified boot partition that you store in an unprotected area. Its not very elegant tho :(
[Android Software Development] chaoscentral:
Don't ask why, but I feel important I got to help figure all that out lol :)

I have tried the "one click root" and it won't go.

http://theunlockr.com/2009/11/18/how-to-root-your-samsung-behold-2-samsung-galaxy-in-one-click/

my comments on that board are here...

I’m getting the same errors as everyone else.

“can’t verify EBI version”

Also tried the reboot to recovery mode.

it goes right past that and to regular fone start up.

IE: I hold down the home key as it powers up and nothing. tried this with a few combonations. and the fone just powers on.

Also with the SDK I’m getting “device not found”

I’m getting this on windows vista, XP, and UBUNTU linux just plain ole pukes!

anyone got this working yet? and if so ith there a ROM for it or one that will work (ported).

with SDK in windows XP or vista and adb i'm getting "error device not found"

and with Ubuntu I'm getting "command not recognized."

have the fone set to pc studio USB debugging is on.

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

Thanks

[Android Software Development] chaoscentral:
Currently there is NO way of flashing a custom bootloader, or keeping a persistent root. Root is disabled upon startup because of some Samsung security measures. So currently there is nothing to do other than find a nice exploit.
[Android Software Development] Gimpeh:
Now we just need root for us Motorola Cliq users.
[Android Software Development] dan0zone:
i had the same issue ,,, what you need to do is

1..open SDK >tools

2..on a blank area in that window,hold down shift on your keyboard and right click ,then select 'open command window here'

(I think this method only works for people who had ADB setup before) ,

Basically the behold 2 adb only works from the sdk

lol thanks. Just wanted to know if there was anyone who has tried before I do it. Have you tried flashing any of the galaxy custom roms like galaxo?
[Android Software Development] kam187:
As i posted in the other thread where you asked the same question :P

You can't install the galaxy custom roms in the same way because the rooting happens _after_ the init.rc is run. That means the kernel is already running, the system partition is already mounted and system tasks are already running.

In short you can't install a custom recovery, or a custom system partition like you can on the galaxy.
[Android Software Development] tikiral:
Interestingly enough, and maybe of note, is something I came across while attempting to connect to the WPA-EAP at the office. I had "bricked" the phone, basically hitting some unforeseen issue with the WPA-EAP network being in the bcm_supp.conf file, and ended up doing a system restore.

NOTE: Installing Panda Home as a replacement modifies the Settings menu in such a way that upon phone restart, the Mass Storage Only flag for USB is set to true. I believe this is because in the standard Settings menu, the option is either Samsung PC Studio or Mass Storage, and in the Panda Home menu, there is no Samsung PC Studio option, simply a Yes/No on Mass Storage only.

Moving on, after the restore, I wanted to continue playing around with the bcm_supp.conf file and noticed that the restore did not undo the root. That is, even after the restore, I can still su for root access.
[Android Software Development] kam187:
Yeah, its because a restore only wipes the data and cache partitions. Thats the only partitions that usually change, and so would need to be restored. It doesnt restore /system.
[Android Software Development] brybam:
Since XDA is only for HTC phones and most people here most likely don't have the behold 2 and there really isn't a correct forum to have this posted in..

I'd reccomend using android-devs.org forums

Hello,

I bought a new laptop (with Windows 7).

I copied the .pst files of the old laptop (Vista) to the new one. So I have all my mails, contacts, ... on my new laptop.

When I want to sync my TP2 now to the new laptop, it doubles all my contacts, appointments, ... .

What am I doing wrong? Can anybody help me?

I really need to have this fixed asap (I use my TP professionally).

Thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Krikilion:
I think I found a solution.

Note:

a) This solution works when you try to sync with a new computer after already having copied all .pst files (outlook contacts, ...) from the old computer to the new one.

b) Problem in that case seems to be that all items (contacts, calendar items, ...) are doubled after sync

c) Possible Solution (has to be followed BEFORE any syncing with the new computer)

I followed these steps and it worked:

1. connect the device to the new computer

2. setup the new partnership (select contacts, calendar, e-mail, tasks and notes to sync)

3. when syncing starts, immediately stop the syncing so that there is no real sync (sync ended)

4. now deselect all sync relations (contacts, calendar, ...)

wait untill windows mobile device center finishes the procedure.

5. sync the device

6. delete the sync partnership --> you get a message that all of these items will be deleted the next time you sync (click OK)

7. set up a new partnership (select contacts, calendar, e-mail, tasks and notes to sync)

8. now everyting works fine (no doubles)

Hope this can help others too.

Best regards,

..using dferreira's guide in the dev forum. From what I can gather there is no difference between the builds, but by using the ION rom you should be able to get the 2.0 update via OTA when it's available from Google/HTC :)
