Flash CAB's Not working?

I've installed the two CAB's on my HD2, but the player still doesn't work in either IE or Opera 9.7. Are there some other changes required to make it work? e.g. with either sky.com or tvcatchup ? :confused:
[HD2 General] davidguate:
There is no way in opera 9 or ie to enable real flash suport. Sky fire or opera 10 are the only webbrowsers with flash suport.
[HD2 General] Johnston411:
I've been having a think these last few days about rom flashing and in particular the reason why we flash hardspl.

The short answer is so that we can flash safely the cooked roms on offer on the web without fear of bricking our devices with an incorrect rom or bad flash.

This leads me to my theory/question:-

Can you dump your rom, re-cook it and then flash it back to the device it came from?

In theory it should work right?

It should be just like flashing the stock rom back to your device but with a bit removed and a few tweaks and apps included.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not suggesting anyone should do this i'm just wondering if it would work and what other problems i may have overlooked that others can see
[HD2 General] 12aon:
I always thought this was because ROMs created by HTC were compiled differently and thus are not excepted by their SPL. Cooked ROMS are never the same as a stock. BTW keep questions out of ROM development, moved!

[HD2 General] vangrieg:
As far as I understand, the problem will be in that your cooked ROM image won't be signed using the HTC certificate.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
I'd love to know or read a tutorial about HSPL and how it can be done.
[HD2 General] Johnston411:
So you'd get the "invalid vendor id" error when trying to flash?

I'd have thought it would retain the necessary to get past that.

@12aon No worries on moving the thread mate. I thought it kinda fitted both sections so went for the one i was viewing at the time ;) :)
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Even if you leave everything intact in the ROM by dumping it and then rebuilding without any modifications, the resulting image .nbh file won't be properly signed, so it will have no proof that it wasn't modified and therefore won't pass the authenticity check. You'll need to use whatever HTC use to build their ROMs and their certificate, not the kitchens we use here...

Basically the whole HSPL production industry consists of two persons, olipro and cmonex, and I seriously doubt that they've posted any tutorials anywhere on how they do it. :D
[HD2 General] 12aon:
I was warned you'd likely end up with a flat brick...

Hi guys,

I checked out the HTC hologram app on you tube and was very impressed..

I have a request for a similar app, might be interesting for most of us..:p

I had this electric glass ball which connects to my PC via USB.. when u touch on it, it gathers all the light at your finger..

I beleive most us know what I am talking about...

Can we have something similar to electric ball.. where in you can have different color rays on device screen(like hologram) and when we touch the screen, all the vibrating rays come to your finger, just like u are touching the electric ball..

It would be really great if someone can make one... I am sure this app will be unique..

Just had an idea....! Hope I was a developer..:)
[General Questions and Answers] pupakota:
indeed, man, it would be nice idea.

(gentle bump).

it could be square with clock(with CUSTOMIZABLE digits) inside(= nice cradle clock)
[General Questions and Answers] blackbravo:
good idea :D
[General Questions and Answers] schildirulez:
oh yes, that would be so awesome!
[General Questions and Answers] NLS:
would be lovely (and more realistic) if it supported multitouch (for HD2) too...

If someone is making this app, plz make it compatible with Omnia i8000 :p
[General Questions and Answers] Aafi-rocks:
Are there any developers interested in making this app...??? :rolleyes:

If some1 is trying to make.. plz let us know.. atleast we can wait...

There is now a plasma ball application

Hi there,

I've just seen the kind of plasma ball application that you are after. Unfortunately, this forum will not allow me to post links, being a newbie and all, but if you go to the modaco site I have posted a link to the program in the thread that was started there in the Pocket PC/Windows Mobile Professional (Touchscreen) -> Pocket PC Software forum.

Cheers,

David.
[General Questions and Answers] Aafi-rocks:
No 1 replied if they were making any such app... :)

NEways I found something similar (on XDA-Forum itself) or may be something I was actually looking for.. The Plasma Ball check the link below...

I will download the free version once I go home...

For all others who are interested in the app get it from the below link..

The Lite version is free.... so download and check..

Sorry if this has been addressed.

I was wandering if LEO has proper 2D/3D graphics deivers. We know they have been omitted on multiple previous HTC/Qualcomm models. Does Leo have hardware acceleration truly enabled out-of-the-box or does it suffer same issues as Diamond, Raphael (TP1) and Rhodium (TP2)?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, please find attached MS Tag Reader beta, which works OK with HD2, and does not suffer from the following issues:

- green box during camera initialization

- rotated camera preview
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] devil_82:
thanks mate...it working nicely
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] levi3man:
omg this is impossible. someone actually fixed microsoft tag? after a year of using it for multiple devices.... lets see if this actually works
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] levi3man:
This guy is a genius. Microsoft tag, that doesnt show camera correctly on any windows mobile device, for the first time works...

You are a legend!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] levi3man:
Where did you get it from, did you edit/fix it yourself.?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] czbird:
Actually, I had sent them an ordinary bug report, but thanks to the favorable star constellation I received almost instant reply with kind request of beta testing. So, after their development storm and my checks of a few more versions, I was satisfied with the one posted in the first post, and reported it back as working OK with the HD2.

The whole thing took about two hours only, but I was as surprised as you are now with its result :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shawn_230:
Well I downloaded it a few days ago from gettag.mobi and it works fine? The image is mirrored but no green box or anything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] czbird:
That's quite possible. After testing, MS has asked me for proper user agent strings for HD2 phone - so I assume that this version has already became official and can now be downloaded from their site. At the time I first posted it here you couldn't get it anywhere else, as it was a fresh build.

EDIT - I read your response wrong. So you're saying that with official version, the image is still rotated? Then please try the version in the first post. Also, camera green box (initialization error) may or may not occur to you - I think it may also depend on ROM version or installation of the HTC camera hotfix.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] devil_82:
hi thanks for your post...u r a fantastic guy.... :) i think he shld use ur cab for the installation rather than from mobi site....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] czbird:
No problem.

I'm glad I could help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
thanks for sharing

thanks czbird.

I have been searching for this for some time, posted of forums and emailed tech support of both parties, but neither MS nor HTC have offered a solution.

Obviously my constellations are less favourable than yours.

Lets hope they admit to a solution soon. So far as I can see they do not have a versioning system nor any build news on their download site.

Tag Reader problem

Hi,

When I open the new version of Tag Reader my soft key choices are [left-history] + [right- menu], yet the reader requires you to click 'enter' to complete the read/scan. I can't find an enter option.

What am I doing wrong guys?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
Got email from Microsoft Tag Team a couple of days ago to say that they now have a new file to download.

I created this tag which when i just tested, identified my phone and offered to download the cab file.

Tag works fine for me. Jumps to the link as soon as the tag is within the photo boundaries. Automatic, no need to press anything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
You may have a wrong version, for a phone with a keypad. On my HD2 I have never had to click anything to read a tag. As soon as it gets into the right area in the picture, the tag link is launched.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Smailtronic:
Many thanks! The official dl wasn't working for me, but the link in the OP worked like a charm.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xwaiz:
i downloaded the latest version from MarketPlace (v3), it doesn't work. It can't initialize the HD2 camera.

disappointed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ambious:
I got the new version from gettag.mobi, and guess what? It still has screen rotation issue. What gives?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nilsk123:
So, you're claiming you sent a bug report to Microsoft, and then they immediatly called their entire mstag development team and created a new beta within 2 hours? Very believable. And I seriously doubt microsoft would just send beta's to random people. Well not completely random, but still.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
Try a soft reset. My camera often won't initialise if i have had too many programs open.

I've just got the latest tag and it works, but has that stupid screen rotation problem, so I will have to revert to v2.

EDIT: If you go to gettag.mobi and find the file by manufacturer HTC and then the HD2. It downloads a file called TagReaderR90.0409.cab which is the one you need.

However, that then comes up with message The camera on your phone could not be accessed - 80070037.

A soft reset clears it and the Tag reader now works properly on my HD2.

is there an updated version, v1 available for HD2, the released out of beta version still does the inverted video problem.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
Glad to help. It's good to be able to give back to the forum as well as take all of the helpful advice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xwaiz:
I downloaded TagReader.0409.cab, installation has no problem (to storage card). When running TagReader, received "Cannot scan Tag. Tag Reader can't access the camera." Then soft reset, but still get "Cannot scan Tag. Tag Reader can't access the camera."

It is HTC original ROM, with Cookies home tab. QR code scanner works; and the old Tag Reader works, except it has green screen when initializing the camera.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
I've not found any tags to use it with!"

I'm afraid I cannot help as my tag reader is still working. I've now updated to Co0kies Home Tab 1.8.5.

However, I have not had any reason to use the MS Tag reader in earnest. Sionce a very few posts on one of the mobile sites early on, I have not found a SINGLE MS Tag to direct my phone at! Ah well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MikeFortgens:
I have the same problem, Tag Reader can't access the camera and soft reset won't help. Pretty frustrating because it looks like my boss has set up a game that heavily uses these tags...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] addicus:
Using the latest versiln I can never get the tag accepted. I hate this crap!

Update 6.3.2011: I downloaded the version from getmobi.com on my pc with my HD2 hooked up as a disk drive using DoubleTwist. I saved the file directly to my HD2. I disconnected the HD2, installed the cab to my phone (not storage card). I couldn't find any tags in my office so I came back to this thread and put it on the tag in post 13 and it recognized it with no issues at all. IE opened and it took me to getmobi.com. Happy days.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] trueg:
I initially tried the CAB from the first post on my LG Fathom, but the camera orientation was all wrong. I closed and re-opened the application and it notified me that there was an update. I installed the update and now it works perfectly. Too bad it doesn't read standard mobile bar codes in addition to MS Tags. :(

The new version is 3.89.0.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
you probably need "mobiletag".

Remember MS wanted their version of tag to be the standard.

Sorry if this is a newb question...but it comes from a newb.

I have successfully rooted, and flashed a recovery image onto my Sprint Hero....and I have created a nandroid backup of the rooted phone. Just yesterday I went in and deleted all the sprint bloatware. Here's my question:

Can I create another nandroid backup of my phone as it is right now? or will it delete my old nandroid backup? I would like to have the option to reflash to both the first state, and now the newer state. I hope this question is not confusing.

Can anyone help? Can you have multiple nandroid backup images? or do they override the previous one?

Thanks in advance! God bless!

-alex
[Hero CDMA General] ruskiyab:
You can have as many nandroid backups as your storage card has room for. That being said, if you do a nandroid restore, it will restore only the most recent one so if you want to restore to an older one, just move all the newer one to a different folder or something.
[Hero CDMA General] azfxstb:
I add a "_sprintgolden" at the end or what ever and leave all the numbers in place that way I know whats what and can delete the extra and it will restore that backup
[Hero CDMA General] izanagi:
Yep, you can have as many as you want (store'em on your pc),just copy them out of your storage card otherwise it'll get overwritten by the next backup.
[Hero CDMA General] Flotion:
right on Iz
[Hero CDMA General] alexthearmo:
thanks guys! you guys are awesome! This stuff is fun! Can't wait for some new, fast Sprint Hero roms to start flashing! I haven't flashed anything yet.

Thanks again for the help! God bless!

-alex
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
No...it won't delete any of the backups. You can have as many backups as the card will hold (as an earlier post stated). The Nandroid Restore will only restore the most recent one.

If you want to keep all on your SD card, but restore from another backup, you'll have to drop to a shell on the phone to run Nandroid. That's accomplished by using ADB from the Google Android SDK. If you type nandroid -? on the command prompt, it will give you a list of parameters you can use to restore or backup Android.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] itsjefflol:
Okay so I have an htc fuze laying around as my spare phone and I've been slowly making it nicer and nicer, I replaced the stock keypad with the touch pro variant, then due to some scratches on the screen I ordered a screen and lcd and everything seemed to go smoothly until I put the phone back together.. The screen displays solid color images perfectly and text is crystal clear but all the graphics, especially gradients look really pixelated and messed up. I don't think the lcd is messed up since the text displays perfect, but I checked all the connections over and over.. Any suggestions?? :/
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ryotgz:
Were you able to resolve this?

Sounds like you purchased a new LCD. If so have you tried the old one?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] itsjefflol:
Unfortunately the old lcd looked like trash and got thrown away by my girlfriend so I guess I'll have to order another one if I can't get it to display correctly.. I checked all the connections so many times, I just don't see how it could be the lcd when text is still crystal clear..

Hey there guys,

I need a Photoshop genius to do a massive favour for me. So that I can make some HTC sized icons, I need a mask made, like a template.

It needs a vector mask, that will make any perfectly square icon have rounded edges like the HTC icons have. See icon below:

I need the vector mask template to allow me to make any picture into an icon like the one above.

I hope someone can help. Not very good with masks. Once I have a template, making any icons should be easy.

Thanks ^^

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] madindehead:
Going to give it a try now.

Update: Looks good. However, to add another image to it, we need a vector mask to cut off the corners. Can't insert another image into that and use it as an icon sadly, as the corners don't cut off.

Having said that, I'm not amazing at using Photoshop, so maybe I can't see the layer mask. I'm assuming it's there and cropping the edges of the blue background yes?

Just checked again. Can't see the vector mask anywhere =(

Other than that, the glare and shadow are EXCELLENT! Really. Very good. All we need is a vector mask to cut off the corners, so we can add any image and keep the same shape.
