[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mcbyte_it:
It's the contrary, i like only Manilla and don't want windows's honeycomb, i want a way to let manilla replace the honeycomb as it did in winmo 6.1.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tictac0566:
Well, that´s what all ROMs with Manila do.

Whatever you install, as long as it comes with Manila, no need to use WinMo

(at least in most cases).
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mcbyte_it:
Not all, the roms that have WinMo 6.1 and Manilla it can be done, the manilla will replace the standard start menu with it's programs tab, removing the tab from the tabs bar. While on roms with 6.5 (at least those up to 1 month ago) didn't do it, the start button opened the WinMo6.5 honey comb even with Manilla installed and working, the programs launcher is just a tab on Manilla....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tictac0566:
Whatever you mean, mate.

Maybe it is just a misunderstanding here. Just keep searching what you need, and either you will find a ROM, or a registry tweak.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] harveydent:
I think what he wants is for the WM6.5 start button to launch the Manila programs tab, and not the 6.5 honeycomb start menu.

McByte: older 6.1 TF3D ROMs (or some of the newer ones, depending on the chef) launch the default 6.1 Start Menu (like Windows 98/XP) when you click on the start button.

You can ask the chefs if the can integrate the Programs tab to the WM6.5 start button, but I don't think it's possible. That feature comes from the Manila it was ripped from (e.g. Rhodium/Topaz vs. TP2/Leo). HTC provided that feature since the default 6.1 start menu was not finger friendly. 6.5 start menu is, so they didn't bother putting that in.

Hey,

I have Verizon and currently have a XV6800 (Titan). I have loved the phone, I got it the first week it came out and it has never let me down. I flashed it when the ROMs first came available, and I use all the features the phone has: keyboard, touchscreen, bluetooth, GPS, Wifi, etc...

My contract expires on the 11th of this month, and I've been due for a phone upgrade for quite some time now. I can get the TP2 for $99 with no other fees, because I work for Goodyear and we have a corporate thing set up with them.

My question is: should I get the TP2? It's obvious that there's a lot of custom ROMs out there and the hardware looks great. I just don't want to buy this phone and another one come out a month from now that's better. I understand that phones are always being released and they become outdated weeks after their purchase, but I don't want to miss out on anything cool.

-Randy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Hanson68:
If you love your Titan that much, I don't know what's stopping you from upgrading to the TP2. It's the Titan on steroids with a gorgeous 800 X 480 screen. The keyboard is much improved as well (I had that keyboard with the grid layout on my Mogul, and I barely used it). In fact, the soft keyboard even much improved and usable. Battery life is also improved.

The only real drawback from the Titan is the lack of a DPad (VolDPad does a pretty good job of turning the volume rocker keys into a DPad).

BTW, video playback on the TP2 is outstanding (TP2 does full DVD resolutions). Totally kicks ass over the iPod.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RojasTKD:
There will always be something better/newer coming down the road. Could be a month... could be 6... couid be 12 months. I don't think we'll be getting really new in the short term.

The TP2 is far and away the best WM phones I ever handled. I ver glad I moved to it from my Kaiser. Heck I'm glad I skipped the original TouchPro and waited for the TP2.

The HD2/Leo looks nice but not being able to use a stylus and lack of a keyboard just might keep me away. I like writing hand written notes in my note pad.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] myrandex:
The other thing too is that the Touch Pro 2 just came out, so it should be quite a while until it is surpassed (but 3 months ago if you were to ask to buy a Touch Pro, I'd easily tell you to wait b/c of the Touch Pro 2...that and Verizon nubbed up the TP1 with locking the GPS and removing RAM). I'd say go for it!

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shapiror06:
Thanks for the good info.

Does this phone have a dedicated graphics accelerator?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rajuabju:
I went from an XV6800 (titan) to a Tilt2 on AT&T...

Network sucking issues aside, the TouchPro2 is a GREAT phone and an amazing upgrade the the Titan.

I stayed away from the original TouchPro/Fuze phones because I didnt think they were a massive upgrade, only more RAM which helped run TF3D, but no WinMo6.5, and not much in terms of real improvement.

I love WinMo6.5, I love the TF3D 2.1, and the ram and speed of the new Tilt2 is noticeably faster than a Titan.

Oh, and did I mention the AMAZING screen improvement?

Upgrade. You wont be disappointed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Quiksmage:
I was on a mogul, which then i went to the touch pro, and now I'm on the touch pro 2. The single biggest upgrade from the mogul, to the touch pro was the ram. Running Opera Mobile on the mogul was hell. It's a great browser on the touch pro although i preferred the speed of opera mini. The other big improvement was the resolution/ lack of recession on the screen. Notice how it's rather difficult to hit the task manager button on the top right of the screen? That was fixed in the touch pro.

The biggest improvements from the touch pro to the touch pro 2, for me, have been the increased screen size and the keyboard. The Keyboard is ****ing amazing. No more of those little bubble keys that were present in the mogul/touch pro. I still haven't heard anyone talk about the change from bubble keys, to actual keys that depress when you press down on them. Sure the offsetness and size of the keys is great, but the fact that they are actual buttons that depress when pressed sold me. The speaker phone is much nicer as well.

Don't forget that you also will get all the latest TF3D stuff as well until a new dominant resolution comes out (or we simply can't run it because of lack of clock speed). I'm currently running TF3D 2.5 and it adds loads of improvements over TF3D 2.1. The only problem currently with 2.5 is that it's sluggish in some areas such as the landscape transitions on music/pictures.

All in all I'd say hell ****ing yes to a mogul-to-pro2 upgrade. There was a big enough difference to ditch the mogul for the touch pro alone. Ram was always the biggest pain on the mogul, and now I can't find myself ever running out of ram even while leaving everything open. I don't have to fight with the device to have it do what I want it to do.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shapiror06:
See.... I get all these good reviews from you guys here, and you're all saying "Go for it!" Then, I go in the Verizon store too look at it, and they don't have it. I guess none of the stores have them on display, and I have to have it shipped. On top of that, the sales guy convinced me to come in Friday morning to see the new Motorola Droid when it's released. They're gonna be the same price.... so I don't know what to get now...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] myrandex:
No Vzn stores ever got the new phone. Yea the Droid looks like it can be quite nice, but at my heart I'm still a WM user at least for now (Android is probably my 2nd bet, then maybe WebOS, and the OSX mobile isn't an option for me).

If you want to play with one, go to a T-Mo or AT&T Store. My sprint store near me (and its a big one, with a repair center and everything) still doesn't have TP2's yet either :-/

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shapiror06:
You know what... I'm ordering the TP2. Windows Mobile isn't perfect, but there's a huge community on here for it, and Android is new and still isn't quite perfect.

It's just like running any distro of linux on your computer. Sure, there's a lot of great versions out there, but none of them are perfect, and when something screws up, there's not always an easy fix.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Hanson68:
One more thing about the TP2:

If you want to run emus, the offset keyboard gives you a reasonable rendition of a Dpad. Diagonals won't work, but it's more than adequate for JRPGs or any game that doesn't require twitch action.

I use W,A,S,D as a Dpad.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shapiror06:
just wanted to update everyone who gave me their input - I got the TP2 and I'm in love with it. There's nothing I've tried to do thus far that I haven't been able to do. I've tried a few ROMs on it and I'm on the latest MightyROM right now ad it's great. Thanks again for the input guys!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielmk:
Hey Guys!

I'm having some issues in contact identification in Brazil and would like to know if you share the same problems in other countries. (And, .:hopefuly:., if you have a solution for this)

In Brazil, to make long distance phone calls we have to store our contacts number in this format:

0 + Operator + Area Code + Phone Number

For short distance calls, you could use just the phone number or the "full" number with the zero, operator and area code numbers.

Considering this, I've always had my contacts full numbers stored in my phone in case that if I go to another area code, I'll still be able to call my contacts from my city and from somewhere else.

The problem is: Whenever I get a SMS / MMS, the operator send the number in the following format (with a missing operator no.) and the phone won't recognize it as being a contact number.

0 + Area Code + Phone Number

I used to have nokias phones (n95, e71), motorola's, etc. and they all were capable to identify the contacts in SMS and phonecalls. I'm probably doing something stupid with my phone here.

It may be relevant:

Phone numbers in brazil: 8 digits

Area codes: 2 digits

Operators: 2 digits

ps.: If I misused the "operator" word, you can undestand it as being like "Sprint", "Verizon", "O2" and other companies that may provide you with long distance services. Eg. I could be a sprint user and use verizon's long distance service.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielmk:
My current phone operator is TIM - Brasil - São Paulo (11)

Every SMS I get has the phone number in this format:

0 + Area Code + Phone Number

Does android allow some sort of "default" operator for every phone call?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andretrizzo:
I'm having the same problem with my phone, I'm also a TIM subscriber.

The only (flawed) solution that I've found is to store the same number again but without the operator code. :(

Still hoping to find a better solution. Anyone out there can help us?!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emersonvier:
I use the MagiCall 2.2.4. my operator TIM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielmk:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagobt:
My phone operator in Brazil is Vivo and I store all my phone numbers in the following format:

0 + area code + phone number

Because I ommited the operator code, Vivo assumes its default code. This way, the numbers stored in my phone are good for short and long distance calls, and the caller identification also works for SMS and MMS.

I'm not sure that applies to TIM though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagobt:
Of course what I suggested is just a workaround. This seems to be a known issue in Android:

You could vote for the issues. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielmk:
TIM doesn't have a "default" operator service. That's why we have this problem.

I think Claro and VIVO does. As soon as I get out of this contract, I'll migrate to other provider.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosrg3003:
I have the same problem here.

You guys found any solution beside switching operators?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielmk:
Nope.... Right now I'm a very happy vivo user.

However, it seems that the sim card is the one responsible to automatically add an operator number. Every time I call someone without the operator I get this message indicating that the sim card has changed the mumber automatically.

I wonder if we could add an program into TIM's simcards to act like other companies do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosrg3003:
I installed a program called Right Number.

All my contacs are in the format: 0 + Area code + Number (01191234567)

When you make a call, the program adds the operator number of your like.

And when you receive a call, the phone will recognize the contact.

I recomend!

Linux drivers

Hello I am using Linux (gentoo, so I need kernel options, not binary modules, really). Does anyone know what drivers/mechanism can be used to configure USB tethering on a Linux host?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] silasdavis:
Linux kernel support for USB tethering

To answer my own question... The relevant kernel options under kernel version 2.6.31 seem to be:

CONFIG_USB_USBNET=m

CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER=m

CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST=m

If you 'cd /usr/src/linux; make menuconfig' You can key '/' to initiate a search for the substrings 'usbnet', 'cdcether', etc. They are under:

│ -> Device Drivers
│ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
│ -> USB Network Adapters

For CyanogenMod-4.2.3.1 (and similar verions):

When you connect your phone via usb, browse (on the phone) to Settings -> Wireless controls, and check 'Internet tethering'.

On your host linux machine the node /dev/usb0 should be created. Run 'dmesg' to see if it is registered. Type 'lsmod' to see if you have a listing like:

rndis_host 6160 0
cdc_ether 4236 1 rndis_host
usbnet 13196 2 rndis_host,cdc_ether

I am assuming you have kernel module auto-loading enabled. If not try running 'modprobe rndis_host'. You should hopefully then have /dev/usb0 or similar.

Furthermore this should be recognised as a network interface and be listed by 'ifconfig -a'. The interface can then be configured in the usual way, i.e.:

ifconfig usb0 up
dhcpcd usb0

Whereon the phone seems to automagically provide dhcp and dns. Hope this helps fellow linux users. I can provide further details of my working configuration if anyone has difficulty.

The USB tethered device is much friendlier on battery. Previously I was having to plug my wireless tethered phone into my laptop just to keep it alive. It was very hot and would sometimes loose the charging battle (i.e. putting out more power over 3G and Wifi than accepting from USB charging). The proper USB networking device interface is much preferable and should theoretically provide superior performance than the higher level Java-based NAT approaches previously seen, although I have not yet noticed reduced latency.

The only issue from an open source perspective is that the RNDIS protocol does not seem like a very pleasant option, being encumbered with a proprietary license and limited documentation from what I have read. I wonder why android does not support open source CDC alternatives (which I am lead to believe do exist).

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] FunkyELF:
silasdavis,

Thanks a ton!

That got me working.

I was unable to get the tethering to work with Wifi. I would be able to see it as a network in Wicd but could never get an IP.

Could you shed some light on how you did this? I am a Gentoo user as well.

It took me a while to figure it out but what I did was made a symlink in /etc/init.d from net.usb0 to net.lo and that was the only way I could start it. using ifconfig usb up didn't seem to work.

BTW, I posted (and am editing) this using USB tethering :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] captsammy:
How fast is the connection across the tether, could it handle an RDP connection to a desktop at home?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] IUSmeagel:
@captsammy

It's of course going to depend on your 3g connection more than anything else, but I just got the following results from speedtest.net when tethering via usb:

Ping 78ms (not bad actually, for 3g)

Download 1.03Mbps (about 120 kilobytes/s)

Upload: 0.32Mbps (about 40 kilobytes/s)

That would almost certainly suffice for a remote desktop connection, bandwidth wise, but as will be the case with every connection via cell-phone wireless, it will be incredibly laggy due to poor latency (ping 78).

Win7 automatically installs driver for Remote NDIS

I am on a Windows 7 laptop and have the Android SDK installed. On the phone side, I am running CyanogenMod v. 4.2.12.2 on an HTC ADP1.

USB Internet Tethering works like a charm. I am posting this via USB tether to a WiFi connected phone (3G tether also works). Great work by Cyanogen and co-workers!

To get tethering running on Win7, I first enabled USB Internet Tethering on the phone, before connecting it to the Win7 laptop. Win7 then automatically installed the Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device driver and connected to the phone. No configuration required.

Perhaps the people having trouble on Win7 didn't enable tethering on the phone before connecting to Win7? However, now I can actually enable/disable tethering with the phone constantly connected to USB and Win7 loads the correct drivers on the fly.
