Correct.

It does seem a little weird but that is how you 'officially' add your details for Owners Name.

All my registered programs now automatically show the owners name in the registration window.
[G1 Android Development] aaron8301:
Yes, I've searched. No, I haven't found a real answer to my problem. (No offense, but XDA is the most cluttered vBulletin site I've ever seen.)

The last few times I've updated to a new CM ROM, my phone boots to the android screen, goes black, stays there indefinitely. Have to pull battery.

OF COURSE I always do a Nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. So I think "well, I'll just revert to my backup." Right?!? No. Whenever I try to restore a Nandroid backup, I get "Error performing restore! Try running nandroid-mobile.sh restore from shell". When I run said command in adb, it tells me:

Verifying backup images...

boot.img: OK

cache.img: FAILED

data.img: FAILED

misc.img: OK

recovery.img: OK

system.img: OK

md5sum: WARNING: 2 of 6 computed checksums did NOT match

Error: md5sum mismatch, aborting

How does my cache and data images "fail?"

So I end up wiping, then re-flashing the CM update, and all is well. Except I have a wiped phone, with none of my apps or settings. I know, I know, I should wipe anyway, right? Bull****. I spend a lot of time customizing my phone, getting it just the way I like. I have tons of apps installed, set up how I like. To wipe every two weeks when CM releases a new update is absurd. I don't have to wipe my computer every time Microsoft issues a security update.

So my two questions are: Many other people report flashing the new CM ROMS without having to wipe, so why doesn't it work for me?

And why can't I restore a friggin Nandroid backup? Really, what is the point of making a backup if there's no way to restore it?

Notes: I have a brown T-mo G1 unlocked on AT&T. I just did this whole process today going from CM 4.2.3.1 to CM 4.2.4. I have CM's Recovery 1.4 installed. I have a 2GB SD card formatted as ~1.4GB fat32, ~500MB ext4, 64MB linux-swap. And I have an anxiety problem. I'm eating Xanax like candy.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
It feels redundant telling you this is the wrong forum to post in for questions and answers, the proper forum would be, "dream, questions and answers"...

Anyway, have you scanned you sdcard for corruption?
[G1 Android Development] devildogg2001:
Generally when I need to update I backup my stuff with backup for root users off the market first and I also use mybackup pro (as a backup lol) the backup for root will backup all your APKs and basically everything else too so when you restore it puts everything back the way it was with one click. It also backs up your data folder so all saved info is replaced after a wipe.

When updating I wipe the data/cache and ext partition then update, go to the market download the backup for root and hit restore.. it does everything else.. if you are having a problem doing the nan restore, wipe everything then do the restore and everything should be fine
[G1 Android Development] aaron8301:
But isn't that what Nandroid is supposed to do? And that still doesn't answer the question of why Nandroid won't restore. I am going to check my SD for corruption, however, as soulife suggested (I don't know how yet, but I'll figure it out).
[G1 Android Development] jay652:
This is not development-related. Will a mod please move this to Q&A where it clearly belongs?
[G1 Android Development] torturedsoul802:
I had the same problem...for me, it was a corruption in /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails

One thing that I've found with this, when I view the .thumbnails folder in Windows Explorer, it shows an impossibly large size (e.g. 36.8GB on a 8GB Class 6 Card)
[G1 Android Development] Hazen:
Just a suggestion

After you use backup for root users copy that file to your pc (the back up) format and repartion your sdcard wipe phone. Copy the backup back to sdcard should have no more issues. I just had to do the same thing
[G1 Android Development] q426669:
Awhile ago I thought I saw a thread about displaying contact photos inside of folders. But I can't seem to find it.

It has to be possible, just look at the FaceBook folder. (Install Facebook to get the folder of course.)

If this has already been covered, please drop me a link! :) Thanks!!

hey guys,

At first: i updated my phone to WM6.5 today, and its great.

Now, when I set my own background in tf3d.. it looks great,

Now i want to open my keyboard, and get an totaly different picture, I saw those things in CAB files. but how do i create one with my own pictures?

[HD2 General] Koen D:
Hello everyone,

I'm very interested in this device, but as I'm living in Belgium, I'm used to type on an AZERTY keyboard (instead of QWERTY).

Is this changeable?

Thanks for your reply!

Best regards

Koen
[HD2 General] Koen D:
No answer?

Is there anyone who has an answer to this question? I'm sure lots of belgian people have this question, so you'll help a lot of people :).

Thanks!!

[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
did you try to install a different keyboard like fingerkeyboard
[HD2 General] Koen D:
New in town

Hello!

Thanks for your reply! I don't have the device yet, so I haven't tried install anything.

But I want to buy this device, therefore interested if I can use an AZERTY keyboard.

Thx!

Koen
[HD2 General] DicEvsTytnII:
Haven't really tried that yet Koen.

Might be something that is possible as the default keyboard that comes with the HD2 NL looks a lot like the ezInput 2.x keyboard (although I did not verify if they are related!) But if they are, ezInput comes with all kinds of different layouts so maybe somebody will figure out how to change the default HD2 keyboard to azerty also...

Don't know if it helps, but the T9 input is pretty good in guessing which (Dutch) words you want to type. taking into account that you sometimes tap the wrong letter; mix up some letters etc. Has been verry helpfull in correcting me :rolleyes:

hope it helps

DicE
[HD2 General] cracou111:
simply select the arrow near the keyboard and select french

but remember xt9 will also be in french so disable it!
[HD2 General] Koen D:
So ... just buy it :)

Ok, we'll see. Now I just need to buy the phone and try it out.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll give some feedback as soon as I have it.

Koen
[HD2 General] gregje06:
Isn't it possible to change this? So when you select Dutch you get an azerty keyboard with the correct xt9 (Dutch)?

[HD2 General] mec1234:
I have been following the HD2 for some months now and to be honest I want to have its babies.

In all that time there always seems to be a small but very vocal minority who seem to be on a “This Phone is crap, its 3 million % slower than Phone X, O MY GOD what has HTC done”

To be honest I am starting to wonder if there is some kind of anti HTC HD2 movement going on, so please guys if you don’t like the HD2 fine just please GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

And no I am not a fan boy living in pink fluffy world; in fact I have just had the pleasure of an hour of one on one time with the Retail unit and its sooooooo good. There is no lag, the screen is great and it is clearly, in my mind, the best phone this year and possibly next year as well.

Now I know that not all of you will agree with me, that’s fine but please give the HD2 bashing a rest or at least wait until you have personal tested one and have something constructive to say.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
+1 Fed up of seeing people who havent got the phone speculating on poor performance etc.
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
.

and another +1

It is and will be a great phone. Nothing is perfect thou.

If you want the perfect phone then I am sure someone is releasing a phone in a months time that will be guaranteed a market leader for 10 years and deliver 34 days talk time and 8" screen in a 2" body.

From my point of view I had no problems putting my $$ on the table. I also owned the Touch HD and found it was also a great phone. One of the reasons I upgraded is that fact that the prev phone met my expectations and more than happy to repeat the cycle.

If you have a problem then please feel free to buy an alternative solution and contribute to another forum.

Thanks

[HD2 General] rickgillyon:
I've had my HD2 for two days. A few niggles, but so far it's the best fcukin phone I've ever used... :D
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Sadly there are a lot of self centred whiners and crybabies ouut there who believe that they deserve to have HTC design a phone exclusively for them, and see anything else as a personal attack and attempt at rape on them from HTC. The logic of "if you don't like it, STFU and GTFO" is sadly missed by these dregs of humanity. :(

I just wish that they'd get lost and take their "omg someone told me it doesn't realy have a capacitive screen and it plays videos at 4% full speed and omg does it have a battery and will it work in america" asking the same question over-and-over-and-over-and-over idiot friends with them.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:

[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Well, I think that all the people bashing HTC HD2 are just jealous that they cannot afford it...
[HD2 General] iouk:
I've got mine on order (should be coming today or tomorrow) and after reading this thread I just cannot wait for it to arrive. As always with a new device you get fanboys of other devices that can't wait to bash it but you can usually tell these from people who actually own the phone or have had time with it.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Well, that was kind of my point: I do like the phone. I may well buy one. You only think I hate it because you are a crazed, rabid HTC fan-boy and you mentally classify everyone who is anything less than a crazed, rabid HTC fan-boy, including balanced moderates, as being at the extreme negative end of the love/hate spectrum. You remind me of George W Bush ("you are either with us or against us"); in reality there are quite a wide range of possibilities in between, and most sensible people are placed somewhere along that continuum, between the two extremes. As Obi-Wan Kenobi observed, "only a sith deals in absolutes". ;)
[HD2 General] DMAND:
Bit extreme dont you think? I challege you to find a post that makes me out to be a "crazed rabid HTC fan-boy" :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] pietrucci:
Do you want to talk about your problem(s)?
[HD2 General] pietrucci:
Seriously I think the main cause of the negativeness are the new techniques of the device. For example you just have to get used to the capacitive screen, only responding to your finger. Furthermore it's the first version of the new WM6.5, it still isn't perfect (but hopefully will be soon!).

But after three days I'm loving it more by the minute!
[HD2 General] mec1234:
Mr Shasarak I have been expecting you, welcome.

Fanboy, me?

Well I am a fan of this phone and yes I am male so I guess I am a fanboy. Self deluded HTC lover nope sorry.

Now you are getting me paranoid, do you think the Samsung Omnia 2 PR team is working over time?

Fanboys

I can't help it.

This phone is sensational.

There must be a middle road between helping people who are adjusting to the freedom that WM gives, and invalid negativity.
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Quite Brilliant

I love what you have to say. I have seen so much ignorant negativity from iphone amoebas I've had a gutfull.

I don't have the discipline right now to write a reasoned review of the HD2 because I am intoxicated with this device.

How is wm better, let me count the ways.

This device is so smooth, the sense interface so exquisitely designed.

I have an intimate understanding inside & out of HTC and WM and appreciate the multiple levels of design ingenuity.

At all levels the HD2 is exquisite.

For a casual user it is so well integrated it is a no brainer.

If you want to take it further though, it has endless potential.

I am enjoying the beauty of operating this device.

Call it a phone, but it is the swiss army knife of convergent IT.

Calendar, People and communication are seemless and intuitive.

Like the HTC blurb says, surprising!

Using touch to navigate and operate is optimal.

It is as smooth as iphone or better, but much more integrated.

The keyboard is surpisingly better than using a stylus on my HD.

I have never really come down from owning my HD.

I can see I will be enjoying my HD2 for a long time.
[HD2 General] shirreer:
:pWooww:p

Been quite a long time since I've enjoyed the pretentious grotesqueries of a helpless, insufferabley pedantic fool. Get down from your pedestal, sir, this is not an english lit. forum nor are we impressed with your sophistic obiter dictum! What's your point?

This thread is not for you, its for us to praise and celebrate the birth of a GOD; are you jealous, well you damn well should be: The HD2 offers the single most sophisticated converged experience in the market, nay, an extravaganza of delights beyond any other. I'm sure -and don't care- that you are one of those iPhone rabid fanboys propelled by nothing more than vehemence & hubris :rolleyes:

I don't need to re-enumerate the features, which I know you've memorized by heart, but I will say this: the collective qualities of the HD2's design, feature-set, all-encompassing versatility, the sheer size and calibre of its display converge to make it a priceless piece of art in a world of toys and iPhones. You can throw at it a lag here or an inconsequential bug there -that will be fixed in time- and we'll throw you back a holistic business/multimedia solution that is simply unrivalled, nay, quietly brilliant :eek:. So, don't come here with your fancy continuum and "obi wan" stuff; this is not a hair-salon for girls with iphonies...:p Yes, we are intoxicated & mesmerized by it; The thing is already an olympian LEGEND, so why not?:confused:
[HD2 General] pedmond:
I really think this thread should be closed. It contributes nothing, and I for one don't feel like defending my decisions. I bought this phone and I will do what I please with my money. Personally I think it's the absolute best phone available at the moment, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I just don't see how arguing about the Leo is going to bring anything to this forum.

Tastes are subjective... but they can be cultivated. By knowledge, not by the malevolent ignorance some people insist on displaying.
[HD2 General] shirreer:
You are absolutely right; nonetheless, some are incurable and it eventually gets to you. I just finished touring the Leo forum...its a broken record I tell ya, all you hear is nagging: "OMG it does 4 frames less than Acer" or "the camera is pink"...or "i was cheated by htc, its a slow bad bad phone"..:( its sad, I thought this was a place for rational, intelligent experts; instead, its a zoo for cry-babies and whinos...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] brian.:
how much play does your screen have when the keyboard is hidden?

i'm just curious because someone tried to open my phone like a voyager or env. I never noticed that the screen part lifts up like a milimeter and a half or so.

So, I was just poking around with PHM Regedit on my RhodiumW (Running MightyROM) and I noticed a value in there that I found interesting.

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila

In there is a key called "EnableLandscape" (not in "Memory", but under the main "Manila" heading). Since I'm running MightyROM and it uses Manila 2.1, the value is set to "true."

I was using a ROM before that used Manila 2.5 and I loved it, I just really didn't like that I couldn't see the home screen in landscape mode.

So, can someone currently running Manila 2.5 open up their registry and check that value, if it's there. If it is set to "false," change it to "true," wait a few seconds then soft reset. Who knows, maybe it'll work!

I appologize if this has already been looked into...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] petzku:
The value doesnt exist in manila 2.5, just checked...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shapiror06:
What if you create the value? Just wondering...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dwizzy130:
It wouldn't do anything....

Manila 2.5 doesn't have any existing landscape parts other than photos and music.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RKnight1983:

so now there is no USB support. I just can sync my TyTN Kayser with BT an that sucks cause of speed.

Charging battery only works, when shutting down kayser (tg its done really fast)

Today i've opened my kayser an seen that a transistor is blown up.

What i could read on this smd was "A J *" the * might be a "A" rotated 90° but the text is burned.

I think this should be a bipolar NPNtransistor, but not sure.

Is there any schematics or circuit out there available?

Hi all,

My htc magic vodafone (aus) 32b has a big problem. Once I update to android 1.6. I can't update any other rom. Is anyone has the same problem as mine. When I try to flash new rom, it says "e:\ can't open \cache\recovery\command" What should I do? Also I can't use htc sync as well. Even I download the latest 2.0.8. It won't detect on my computer.

Thanks!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] the1gladiator:
did you follow the process to gain root access to your 32b? probably not

step 1: You have to go from 1.6 to 1.5

step 2. You must then ROOT your 32B and load a custom recovery image, i recommend Amon Ra 1.2.X for noob's

step 3. Load the rom of your choice :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
Your post in wrong section. Go to general.

If youэку using official ROM and want HTC Sync - you don't need flash another ROM

May be, adb locked channel - try command:

adb kill-server

try search before new post - many problems with usb drivers resolved already!

Google Maps Voice Navigation was much simpler to set up on a Cyanogen ROM then reading the thread made it seem, so I made a script that follows the same process I did, and though it should work, I have not tested it, so please let me know if it needs any fixes. It will back-up any necessary files to the sdcard, so there are no real worries in giving it a try.

1. Download Google Voice from the market

2. Unzip the file, and make sure the two files, build.trout.prop, and mapsnav.sh are on the root of the sdcard.

3. Open the terminal and enter

su
sh sdcard/mapsnav.sh

This will do its work then reboot the phone. When it is back up, you should be set.
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
Doesn't seem to work for me. Upon running the script, I got a few errors ("Google not found," "Cannot locate dalvik-cache on sd," etc.; the phone rebooted before I could get a look at all of them). After the reboot, I still had the same old Maps. I tried installing the APK provided in the zip, which seemed to be a successful install, but still, no navigate feature.
[G1 Apps and Games] cloverdale:
Are you using a Cyanogen ROM, with apps2sd?
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
Yupp, 4.2.3.1, or whatever the second-latest one is.
[G1 Apps and Games] cloverdale:
The problem is that your dalvik-cache and maps folders seem to be somewhere other than on my phone. If you first clear your dalvik cache, find the maps folder in /data/data/, and erase it, then run the script, it should work. I will figure this out and post when I get off of work.
