Thank you guys! My mobile phone is 2 years old and has not so many features... I have downloaded the GekoNewCal and it looks great! I will wait for your future applications. Keep me up to date! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Stencil:
Hello everybody! I have seen a lot of comments on forums and blogs about the Geko. It seems that the application is becoming very popular. Congratulation guys! :cool:

The picker is fancy as the iPhone's one, but I also find useful the invitation via SMS that I use with my friends.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] MantasK:
I need some help.. my uncle had problems with his phone, for example not working touch screen especially scrollbars. So he decided to update his phone with "HTC Touch Cruise - Windows Mobile® 6.1 Upgrade" from http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=59&act=sd&cat=all

Old problems are gone, but now gps software(miomap and igo) doesn't work, it simply doesn' start. In my asus I use miomap, I took his sd card with miomap and was working in my phone without installation, but not in his.

Does somone has the same problem? And is there solution for this? Maybe he can downgrade to old rom? I've tried hard reset, but that olso didn't help.

But it works perfectly on our hd2's.

Nice video to show to your friends :D

[HD2 General] DaveLeh:
YAY! Thanks a lot for this. I have seen this running on an Omnia Pro and it looked really cool. It really might be a great demo video to look at on the HD2.

One thing though: This is no 720p video. It's only 360p and it even gets upscaled on the HD2. If there would be problems playing such a small resolution source on the HD2 I would seriously doubt HTC until the end of all times. :D

I am downloading some movies right now in Mp4 format HD quality, 1280x720, i want to see how it looks on the HD2.

I dont think it should be a problem for this thing to play a 1.4 gb file, right?

BTW the Helicopter movie looks great on this beauty
[HD2 General] RacerII:
Good luck , first of all i could not play those files.

Even coreplayer does not play anything bigger then 1008 pixels (program limit)

And second , it doesnt really make sense to play a higher resolution then the display can handle. ;)
[HD2 General] mrturq:
okay

what do you recommend?

i couldn't find a lower resolution.

convertion? with?
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:
oh...ok thanks a lot for clarification.

I should have kept reading carefully.
[HD2 General] niknik76:
No, but as some have mentioned -it would be nice if the HD2 COULD play higher resolutions as you wouldn't have to convert before transfering to the phone. I myself don't have so much of a problem with doing a conversion -but I can see the wish for just transfering what ever files you already have -and they'll be able to play..
[HD2 General] niknik76:

[HD2 General] Zepiii:
Hey all, and especially the lucky owner of HD 2.

I am wondering about several stuff about the HD 2 (i got the HD1)...

First,

In the past, i had a SE (now cost around 70 €) and the APN was really better than the one on the HD1. I mean, it was easy to make photo even with lack of luminosity, and a small move at the moment the picture was taken, wasn't making the picture blurred.

That's something i am really missing on my HD1, an average APN. What do you think about it? Did they improve the APN, or is it still a **** APN, like on all the HTC device ?

Important : I am not hoping to have good pictures like with a reflex APN, I am just wondering if the HTC HD 2's APN (600€) was finally as good as (or better) a ****ty SE (70€).

Second,

Compared to the HD1, do you think it's a big improvement? What about the fluidity, is it really improved compared to the HD1?

Third,

When i use an iPhone, i've got real difficulties to write, due to the small and the capacitive screen. I am from the HD1, and I was loving the screen. Is it still easy to write message with the HD2 keyboard & screen?

Finally

Thank you very much. Really sorry for my english, i hope it's understable..

[HD2 General] Zepiii:
Thank you, but it's not answering me at all.

All the pictures are taken in sunny conditions. The HD1, with a lot of luminosity took excellent picture. What about middle luminosity & darkness condition ?

Thank you ;)
[HD2 General] br3nt:
im just a little messenger with an old topaz ... xmoo was going to test in different conditions using a HD1 and a HD2 thouh, so i guess we'll have to wait for the results

sony ericssons phonecamera on the k810i was almost better than our home camera in good conditions, they do real good cameras...

cheers! :)
[HD2 General] 12aon:
Yes it's easy to type on the screen because it is huge! It's almost as fluid as the iPhone and it is blazing fast. In comparison to my old raph it's a big difference. Sorry where that you questions?

Edit: I think your APN question is about the led (or camera steadiness). The led is good, I'm not overly impressed with the picture quality but I havent tested it very thoroughly,

12

Edit 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-XoUL7nUpA&feature=player_embedded
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
My real main question is about the APN.

With my SE, it was easy to make photo even with lack of luminosity, and a small move at the moment the picture was taken, wasn't making the picture blurred. With the HD1, it's making this, what about the HD2 ?
[HD2 General] 12aon:
Check out the you tube film and judge for yourself,

12
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
No, because the youtube film is in sunny condition.

The HD1 was a really good APN in sunny condition, but directly there were a small lack of luminosity, it was blurring the picture.

I am awaiting for the ximoo comparative picture, hope it's coming soon..
[HD2 General] 12aon:
At the end he/she shows pictures in the dark....
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
Well, i watched it all, and the tennis ball picture isn't enough for me...
[HD2 General] madindehead:
To be fair, phone cameras are never going to be that amazing guys.

If you really care about good camera quality, buy a small digital camera.
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
OH MY GOD !

It's always the same stupid answer...

As said in the post 1, I am coming from a Sony Ericsson before the HD1 which had a really GREAT APN compared to the HD1. I am asking if the HD2 finally got a decent APN as CHEAP SonyEricsson phone, and not if i want to buy a small digital camera !
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
UP...

Any news about the APN? Does someone having the HD2 made some test compared to the HD1 ? Mainly in darkness condition ?

Thank you
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
What's this "APN" thingie you keep talking about? Do you call the camera "APN" or is it some camera's feature/spec?
[HD2 General] Reason4444:
"Zepiii" please explain what is "APN" ? :(

You start a thread or post a question several hd2 threads about "APN"... But nobody knows wtf is it.. :confused:

I think you mean "auto white balance", "iso sensivity" or something like that.. I'm google it last 10 minutes but no luck... (Believe me, 10 minutes for googling (!) is very loong time for me...)

Please enlight us about "APN"...
[HD2 General] DocteurN:
APN = Appareil Photo Numérique

It's a french expression that means camera.
[HD2 General] depl0y:
So yeah, we should all know a french expression? ;).

Well I dont care too much for the camera, I have an iPhone at the moment and that one takes terrible pictures also. Those pics are only good for looking back on the phone itself. If you transfer them to your pc, they look really bad.
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
Oh yeah sorry !

APN is french, i totaly forgot !

APN = camera ! ;)
[HD2 General] Tomo1340:
Well, if I've learned anything today (and I haven't) I am going to go about calling every single camera I come across from now on an APN. I like it.:)
[HD2 General] bemymonkey:
I thought he was talking about a wifi access point :(
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Ok, well I haven't tested it myself as I'm waiting for mine, but from sample pics I have seen its the same ol HTC camera. Its not the best like a Sony Ericsson, but it will do and make some good pics.

As for night, which is your real question, I imagine it will be like all camera's with an LED flash, not that cracking! The LED flash seems to turn things a greeny colour and tints the pics. Also I don't think the focus will be that good with it either.

I'm not hoping for much with the camera but I only want it for emergencies like if I bump my car and need a pic.

http://www.blu-max.com/products/bluetooth_headset_clip.html

La versione Bluetooth delle cuffie è la 2.1 tuttavia esse sono retrocompatibili con le versioni precedenti. Ogni volta che provo a effettuare il pairing, purtroppo il telefono, solo una volta su 50, trova le cuffie tra i dispositivi disponibili nel raggio di ricezione. Ho testato le stesse cuffie anche su iPhone e su un vecchio Nokia, e in entrambi i casi funzionano alla grande. Sapreste dirmi come mai sul Diamond non vanno??

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] spalep:
Hi. I'd just bought HTC touch pro2 and I believe it's for the german market. It has qwertz keyboard. It was flashed with WWE 6.1 ROM ( as far as I can see it's official ROM not cooked) When I press y key it turns out z, symbol keys are all mixed up... I tried keyboard mapping software, but got messed up... and gave up. I need help...some people on other forums suggested that I can flash it with german ROM, but I don't speak german. Anyway, is there a way to fix it in my present software (except keyboard mapper) or can you tell me what to do...maybe I can try cooked ROM in english with qwertz keyboard view? If you can reccommend me any... Thank you in advance (sorry for my english)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spikee:
I'm using a german Touch Pro 2 called MDA Vario V. When I'm using an english ROM (mostly energy ROMs) I change 2 Registry-Keys and my Keyboard works right with qwertz-layout and all symbols.

change in

eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt

to

eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt

change

"CurLang" from value="1033" to value="1031"

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Madhadder:
I have tried these Regedits on my Vario V as well, and while it does fix the Y and Z

issues, there are still some problems. The only way to fix the issue is to replace the included eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt

file with one that is from an actual German TP2/Vario. Only then did the keyboard act the way to should.

Seems the stock eT9.Rhodium.0407 file from the WWE ROM is not fully compatible

with the T-Mo DE Vario, which has certain KB mods. You can find links to the replacement

file here, just search around some more.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
Root the CDMA Hero

Edit: I assumed that everyone knew that you needed the Android SDK to root. If you didn't know and/or don't have it, you can download it from here. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Extract it to a location of your choice. I put mine in /Users/Antonio(Would be your username)/Documents/Android/SDK

Now, this part is completely optional.

I'm going to show you how to add your sdk/tools directory to your .bash_profile file so you won't have to navigate to the folder each time.

Download this so you'll be able to see your hidden files http://www.mediafire.com/?diimft1ninn Run it, check "Show Hidden Files" then click Restart finder. Now, navigate to your home folder (/Users/%UserName%/) and see if there's a .bash_profile already there. If not, create with textedit.

Now add this to the file: export PATH=${PATH}:/Path/Of/Your/Sdk/Tools/Folder

Mine is /Users/Antonio/Documents/Android/SDK/tools

Now do not save it as rich text. If yours is in rich text, click on "Format" in the menu bar, and click "make plain text". Now save it as .bash_profile and uncheck "if no extension is provided, use .txt".

Now you can go back to Ghost and uncheck "Show all hidden files" and restart finder again.

Now, for rooting.

First, go to Settings > Applications>Development, and make sure USB Debugging is checked on your phone.

1. Download Asroot2 (http://zenthought.org/tmp/asroot2) and move it to your SDK/tools directory

2. Navigate to your SDK/tools folder (cd ~/Documents/Android/SDK/tools for me)(~ replaces /User/%Username% if you didn't know)

3. Then type:

./adb push asroot2 /data/local/
./adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
./adb shell
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

And you should get:
$ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

[+] Using newer pipe_inode_info layout

Opening: /proc/857/fd/3

SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell.

4. Then type:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4775 su

At this point you should have root access.

Now, for the recovery image (gives you extra options like backing up with Nandroid, partioning SD, etc.)

1. Download the recovery image from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=596879

2. If you are still in adb shell from rooting type in exit until you are out. You should be in the directory where you extracted the recovery image. If not go there (You can put it in the SDK/Tools folder and nav there). Type in the following:

adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img /sdcard/

You should get something like 868 KB/s (3352576 bytes in 3.767s)

3. Type in adb shell. If you see a dollar sign ($) then type in su and press enter. If it is a pound sign (#) you are good. Now type in:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img

Once that is finished you are done. To reboot into recovery type in adb shell reboot recovery.

Told you most of the steps are the same. I just copied from other members and slightly modified it for Mac.

Now, if we could get a moderator to merge all these "How to Root" threads. :)

Unless you replaced your SD card with something > 4Mb then the 3.4Mb recovery image won't fit on the stock 2Mb SD card.

I ordered a 16Mb card myself from Amazon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SS70Chevelle:
I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with MicroSD card space. I have a 4 gig with lots of space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
I have a 2GB stock card and was able to flash. I initially had the same "Out of memory" error and fixed it by cleaning up my SD card -- copying off extra pictures, videos, podcasts, etc. I also rebooted for good measure, probably not necessary.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] gilroykilroy:
Ooops, nvm :)

It is a 2Gb card and the recovery is 3.4Mb.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
It cant be the size of the SD card, I have well over 4GB free on my 8GB card. Does anyone know how much device memory you must have free to flash the recovery image?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SS70Chevelle:
It was definitely the device memory. I deleted about 10 programs and rebooted. After that it had no error messages.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ersocia:
so, i'm quite definitely (and obviously, as you'll see) a complete android noob. i apologize in advance.

i followed the guide to the letter, and ran into the "out of memory" error. so i cleared out a few photos from the sd card and rebooted the phone, then tried the last step again. i typed "adb shell reboot recovery" at the command line, and my phone started to reboot, but when it hit the first HTC logo the screen went completely black, the charging light went off, and i couldn't turn the phone back on at all. i ended up popping the battery out and back in, then booted it back up just fine. it booted normally, as it always had, so i'm assuming i did something wrong and it's not "rooted".

basically my question(s) is/are:

a) when i ran into the "out of memory" error and rebooted, should i have started the guide from the beginning again? or was i right to just continue on from the step i left off at?

b) if it worked and i did in fact succeed in rooting the phone, how can i find out for sure that it's rooted? is there a failsafe way to tell me that it worked?

c) if i did something else wrong along the way.. what should i do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
I had the same issue. After the soft reset you should have done this:

mtd: re-read error at 0x004c0000 (Out of memory)
mtd: skipping write block at 0x004c0000
96-26-56-112:tools brynehobbs$ ./adb shell
$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
# reboot recovery

yeah dl PicMe from the market, its free and requires root to run.

Figure out where you made the mistake and try again.
