[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikamd:
I'm having random freezes(ya know the kind where you have to yank the battery..) and the home screen takes forever to load sometimes. Also after not opening the app drawer for a while I takes a minute to repopulate what apps belong where.. Here's the logcat right after boot, I noticed a few oddities but can't really make heads or tails of it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (rooted official 1.6 if that matters)

http://pastebin.com/f750d9ab

i was curious about a few areas

1. the permission errors such as lines 12, 21, 34, 51 and 62.

2. the unknown/not granted permissions, lines 104-119

3. lines 188-204 don't look like a good thing(related to HOME it appears)

4. UltimateFaves seems real screwy.. lines 258-274 (thinkin i should just uninstall it)

5. then there seems to be another sort of error W/System.err... lines 313-322

all that appears to happen during boot(pre home?).. then i don't see much else. alot of starting and stopping of processes and a few of these

6. Line 508 W/Process ( 530): Unable to open /proc/997/status

which appears to be related to this

Line 478 I/ActivityManager( 530): Process com.android.music (pid 997) has died.

and so forth, each "W/Process..." having a related pid that has died.

anyone have a minute to give me a quick breakdown?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Im just seeing two exceptions...if i were you i would run fix_permissions in terminal before proceeding further
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikamd:
will do, thanks. oops, looks like I need to be su in order to do that heh.

Unable to chmod any system apps which i assume is because they are infact read only system apps.

Ok, done. changed about a dozen or so permissions o.0 will give it a day and see how things go. Thanks B-man007 :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
type su then
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
fix_permissions in recovery, not from term emu.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
No do not run it from recovery, the one written into the rom is always more up to date and relevant to the rom.

Just type su, then fix_permissions ...

Titanium today is very cool, but is there another transparent today screen for wm6.5 apart from Manila 2d?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] accessing:
Dunno what else you could mean by transparent but there is also Pointui spb mobile and wisbar. They are not so easy to work with. Spb mobile I think, is the easiest and Pointui can be very attractive.

Throttlelauncher is a good option, you can configure it at your own taste using themes (even Iphone, Android, TF3D, BB, GSmart imitations or some themes specially made by a person or for a person with some useful and nice aspects) or taking some of the themes and making your own one. You can add widgets, flash, and WM-Today plugins into the panels of ThrottleLauncher.

You can do a search here in xda-dev's or go to www.throttlelauncher.com

* NOTE * I experienced some problems running TL if my device is low of memory *BUT* I continue using and recommending it (and trying to put it into my cooked ROMs) - I run it with Kaiser and with Herald both WM6.5.1 now.
[General Questions and Answers] tonev:
He means transparent toolbars :)
[General Questions and Answers] afn691:
Yes, some of the TL themes do have transparent toolbars depending of the PNG's that the theme uses. As they are capable to disable the toolbars of WM you can use full screen themes with their own (or without any) toolbars - where they can be configured as the theme developer, or the user, like to.
[General Questions and Answers] Noonski:
Moved this thread outside of Dev and Hacking where it did not belong.
[General Questions and Answers] deepthroat:
transparancy is possible in wm6.5, means what you want is practically can be done.
[General Questions and Answers] hidnface:
Thnx a lot for your replies friends.

In fact i was looking for new today screen with transparent taskbar.

Throttlelauncher can be very good. Will give this a try.
[HD2 General] kshehzad:
I had a friend buy me an HD2 from China. The box and everything is in English so he didn't bother to check the rest. When I turned it on, realized that the ROM is chinese. The other strange thing is that when it boots up, it displays XDA-China.com!!

I wrote to HTC asking if there was any way to change the language. They replied that the serial number checks out as a European model and that ROM should've been in English. Someone in China has "illegally" flashed in with Chinese ROM. They asked me to hard reset, which I did but nothing changed.

My question is how were they able to flash this if according to HTC this is indeed an English model?? Is there a way to change it back to English?

I logged on to XDA-China.com but its all Chinese:-)
[HD2 General] precsmo:
It was the same like when I bought the Touch HD in Guangzhou, but it was much easier as the HardSPL had already long available. And for your case, I'm getting the HD2 on the 30 Nov in China too, what we can do is just wish HardSPL to be available asap!!!!!! The easier situation for me is I know Chinese, even though I absolutely prefer English, I can stay with Chinese rom for a while. While typing here, I was loading the XDA-China, but very slow.

I will try to advice if I can when I manage to get some info there.;);)

just go to this website

use your own SN/IMEI and check your HD2's regional country

and download the appropriate official ROM. flash directly.
[HD2 General] kshehzad:
Thnaks for the reply. Tried that. When I query my S/N it says, Generic English ROM. EU. I tried the English WWE. Doesn't work. Gives invalid vendor ID at 1% :-(
[HD2 General] saulo866:
I got the same problem.

You need to flash with WWE East Europe, Original ROM.

I found that after trying all available WWE ROMs (google it)

Finally I tried WWE East Europe and I did not encounter "ERROR Vender ID", so the flashing went OK

You can find the official WWE ROMs at:

there is NO EU official ROM yet. but there is East Europe WWE, you can try that....

There is no HardSPL available. For those Chinese ROM, they just did put some language patches to make it run. WM 6.5 support multiple language in its kernel(including Chinese). Just the way how to turn it on.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adamwest:
Hi

I have just bought a diamond 2.

I have put my SIM card in and when I switch the phone on it comes up saying the SIM is missing. I have tried cleaning the SIM and re-inserting and even padding out with some paper. Unfortunately none of this has worked and the phone remains just as useless to me.

Apparently it is SIM-locked to O2, I am using a working O2 SIM. Does this mean that it might be SIM-locked to someother network or is it a hardware fault or could it be something else?

I have tried plenty of searching but that has yielded nothing so far.

Thanks for any answers

Jim
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PhilipL:
Hi

Have you bought this second hand? Perhaps it is locked for contract use and you are using Pay As You Go? It might also have been reported stolen and deactivated.

Do you know the SIM works, have you tried it in another phone?

Options are, try another O2 SIM, if that doesn't work contact O2 and ask them to check it, they might be able to tell you why the phone isn't accepted on their network. Alternatively contact the seller maybe?

If it is new of course take it back to the O2 shop and get them to check it, it could well be faulty.

Regards

Phil
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adamwest:
Thanks for your response Phil

I have tried 2 different working O2 SIM's in the phone and they both don't work.

I'm thinking that because its saying SIM is missing it is not seeing the SIM as opposed to it being SIM-locked.

I have contacted the seller and he insists that it worked fine on O2.

I am really dissapointed as I was really looking forward to using this phone
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dazzlingdaz:
I had exactly the same when I first powered up my TD2 - and I know my SIM worked.....

I found that I cleaned the sim by running on my t-shirt (obvious) - and then reinserted - with the same problem....

Then I pushed the card hard in both lateral and vertical directions - push the end of the sim towards the edge of the phone and then push down on the sim - it didnt even look like it moved to me - but when I put the battery back in - presto it worked.....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adamwest:
I'll give that a try, thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adamwest:
no joy with that.

Thankfully the seller has offered me a refund, just need to buy another one sharpish

Hi there

I want to try using a custom ROM and Radio instead of the original HTC software. But I am not sure if I can revert back to the original setup once I have flashed my phone with a custom ROM.

Can anyone confirm if it is possible to revert to the original ROM and how to do it?

Regards

Thomas
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] imatrix:
There is no restriction in doing so, however if order to flash custom cook ROM, u need to get your device HardSPL. Relock SPL required, if you you are gonna send for a repair, that's another story.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] xarvox:
The notifications tray is great, easily pops down most of the time and the apps tray (with ALL the apps) is just as nice.

But i would like a extra tray for settings and/or favorite apps instead of clogging the "desktop" with shortcuts.

like a tray that flips out from the side of the screen.

is it even possible to add a off-screen container such as the above mentioned dropdown/up trays?

and if yes, are there any available at this time?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I know this isn't going to answer your query, but what is wrong with just populating one of your home screens with shortcuts?

I mean, if you do this with one of the screens either side of the "centre" home screen, you effectively get what you require.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xarvox:
I do use the screens as placeholders for my everyday apps, but most of the time i need a app thats on another screen, meaning i have to go look for it.

With a pulldown tray that would pop out from the side, i could keep my most used apps more conviniently located, just a tap away, instead of 1 to 6 swipes away.

since the apps and notifications are dropdown/up i feel its missing dropdown left/right, witch is the real reason im wondering.

it would be great with apps on one side and settings on the other, then i wouldnt use more than one or two homescreens for widgets only.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thecodemonk:
I seem to recall one of the home replacement apps had this...I can't recall which.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] FormelLMS:
I know, what you mean.

It's not so nice, to put hundreds of widgets and Shortcuts on the screen.

I don't like it on Windows Desktop, too.

Therefor, I have loaded Apps Organizer from Market.

I put my Apps in 5 Folders, sorted.

Is that something to try for you?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
actually you can do that with the stock sense widgets, as there are folders for the homescreen. afaik they don't support custom icons though.

Hello everyone

I've moved from the N97 to the HD2 and one thing I have noticed is a drop in call audio quality. Specifically it's very crackly and it's at both ends of the call.

I'm on Vodafone in the uk on an unlocked HD2. Are there any tweeks that can be applied?

[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Well, I moved from Samsung Omnia to HD2 and I have to say quality is far better. I think it just depends on the phone...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tefediscus:
Hi to all,

I am open a new thread about my problem with download emails in different Manila 2.5 roms then when I have written it inside the ROM discussion it was lost in the discussion and I never receive any answer.

In the past month I have tried different roms with Manila 2.5 and have every time the same problem. When I for example at the morning unlock the phone, I dont have in the manila mail program NO new emails, but in the next 2-3 minutes all emails incoming over the night are downloaded. This happens also when I dont use the phone for longer time and the security rule locks the phone automatically.

I am connected to the company exchange server with push mail, using POP3 and Imap mail accounts and have permanent data connection.

I like the 2.5 manila version for the better favorites contacts taps, mail preview and better calendar with week view.

My question to you all is if somebody have the same problems, existing a solution or a ROM without this problems?

Thanks !!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] s4dd1:
Which E-Mail Protokoll do you use???

Imap, Pop3 or Exchance would be nice to know to track down your Problem!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tefediscus:
Mail protocols

I use all of them.

POP3 for mu email account on the ISPprovider

IMAP for my gmail accounts

MS EXCHANGE for connection to the company exchange server to have synchronised all my work emails, contacts , task and appointments. Our company exchange server on the setup also setup a automatic security lock of the phone when he is not in use for some time.

On my obervation I found that when teh phone is locket the automatic mail download for all types of email protocols stops and all messages waiting on the servers are downloaded when the phone is again unlocked.

This is only on Manila 2.5 on 2.1 all mail accounts checked following the settings and messages downloaded correctly.

Best regards from prague

Kersten
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] s4dd1:
ok, don't think that Manila2.5 is direktly the cause of your Problem! I think one of the LEO external Packages is causing this strange behavior...

The Problem is to track down which! I will try but it could be a while :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Riel:
On every single smartphone I got I was hoping this kind of application would pop up.

Is it possible, on Android, to record incoming calls?

Then it would be possible to make a voicemail application that would be usefull.

I'd remove the provider-voicemail feature, and let my phone handle the pickup-calls.

This way it is possible to view, save, store or, maybe most important, delete any voicemailmessages in a application on your phone. You could export them to your pc, mail them to yourself etc, since they are all stored on the phone.

Would be a killer app and, for business users, I think a dev can really make some nice money on it ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] bahnburner:
Why not just use Google Voice. Seems alot easier to me, less processors any storage intensive and accomplishes just about everything you're looking for.

EDIT: Just saw you're in the Netherlands. Sorry.
[G1 Apps and Games] Riel:
Yep.

I don't think it is going to get here. Besides, GSM-calls will be around for some time, and businesswise I'd like to keep my current number.

Is it technically possible ? Look, in the end we will all be VOIP-ing. And even when going on voip based calls, the user interface and the biggest part of the program would still be usable, only the grabbing of the files would be easier :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hooperman:
Ok...so i have picked up my SPV M5000 which has been put aside for the last two years and have decided to show some interest in it again.

The only mod from it being original is that it is unlocked and had the changes to run Tomtom 6, apart from that it is original Orange spec.

Being a newbie on these sort of things i have been reading up on cooked roms etc and fancy having a go at an upgrade but...blind as I may be what difference can i expect and, is it really worth risking a bricked phone....what advantages are there..??

I know there are many roms out there but, now there appears to be some stable ones with plenty of feedback what rom should i go for...?

Any advice..?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hooperman:
Suppose it is not then..!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Holy Bear:
Dude... you expect an answer to that question within the hour?

The advantages are pretty much that you get the next generation of an OS, with the changes in UI and visualisation that come along with it.

Let's face it, if there was no reason to want to change from WM 5 to WM 6 and higher, they wouldn't have made the newer iterations of the OS at all.

Whether or not it's worth it is pretty much up to you. Who are we to tell you what changes are worth the risks? If you are perfectly happy with your phone the way it is, there's no reason to change it. If you see the newer WM builds and think "Hey, that'd be much cooler on my phone", then obviously it's up to you to figure out whether it's worth the risk.

You said it yourself, the phone's been put aside for two years. I, personally, would think making that phone more interesting again is worth it just because it isn't put aside again.

For that matter, I like the process of tinkering as much as I do the results...

As for which ROM to use: again you said it yourself, all of them have lots of feedback posted.

Read it and decide for yourself which one sounds most fitting for your wants and needs.

Because honestly, if you can't be bothered finding out for yourself then maybe you shouldn't start a project like this.

Yes it's really worth every risk...well the chances of getting bricked device is 10 in 100 and even though it gets bricked you will be able to make it work in couple of minutes... so there is no risk at all... well wm 6.X adds new features and functionality... it's way better than wm5... and try tomals v8.5 or (8.9 if you are a bit high end)... or v12 if you want the latest in the os... which is far more finger friendly ... AND BELIVE ME YOU WILL NEVER REGRATE DOING IT AND THE PHONE WON'T BE LEFT ASIDE

Hello (& excuses for my poor English!),

I'm having a though time deciding to buy or not the Hero. This is what I need, is it possible in the Hero?:

- running Debian with Gnome and/or KDE? (I've read in the G1 is possible) - this is very important ;)

- interface/programming the acelerometer and GPS from Debian, once installed

- is its AGPS able to run in autonomous mode (that is, with no cell coverage)?

- quality of sound playback?

- running Fringe or Skype or simmilar over GPRS data?

Many thanks for any advice!

For those of you who have NO GSM on boot (and I know there are a few). The solution could've been posted some time ago, but might be too far back or lost.

I received a board with locked GSM, showing NO GSM on boot. Every radio flash failed, as well as MTTY and factory ROM attempts. Error 114 and Country ID errors prevent proper flashing of any radio.

Here is what got my GSM sorted - I flashed radio through CID by-pass by inserting the necessary .nbf into flashing facility and managed to flash the radio. On a first boot it will show NO GSM, so will seem like the problem is still there. However, I removed the battery overnight and in the morning the flashed radio showed on the boot screen, the Uni booted as usual and is working as it should.
