Hello,

I've noticed that based on the Homescreen selector selection, the parameter menu changes:

With HTC Sense, you get a different Parameter menu than all other modes.

In HTC Sense mode, you get the standard Parameter icons when you go to parameters and then press the more buton on the bottom right.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mo0oSaH:
I am running CM 4.2.4 and I have seen a lot of threads talking about people being locked out for trying the pattern unlocker too many times and then getting the wrong password error. I was wondering if the CM fixed this in any way.

I am hoping Cyanogen made it so that you have to wait 30 seconds or whatever extended period of time before another attempt. I am particularly concerned because I don't have a data plan and being locked out would mean hell for me before I can access my phone again.

Also, does anyone know if a simple nandroid restore would fix the lockout? Or is that not included in the nandroid?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] albekb:
as a title, i search an alternative program to nodata..any ideas?:confused:

thx a lot

I hope I have posted it in the correct section :p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Farmer Ted:
Maybe you should explain why you want an alternative, and what you're looking for in the alternative. For me, nodata works fine, although I do find the pop-ups annoying as crap. "Do you want to exit?" Gee, no, I want this program running in the background all day. And why is "No" highlighted instead of "Yes?" It's trivial, but it annoys the crap out of me. We all know what the program does, and you don't need a pop-up for every single button. Lol.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] albekb:
u're right sorry, I was not clear ..I serch an alternative program to NODATA because you can not install it on the last pcarvalho rom [WM 6.5 for polaris]
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thangkls:

If it's that, you can do it by tweak registry or use Advanced Configuration Tool.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] albekb:
I search it only to disable gprs connection
[Windows Mobile Software Development] uMP2k:
I have just been looking for this as well. I know I found a thread somewhere on this site for a program that would disconnect 3g data when it detects a wifi (or something like that). Unfortunatley, after lots of searching I cannot find the thread or app again :(

Not much use to you I know, but I am hoping it might jog somebody elses memory.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] albekb:
I know the program that you say, but it only disconnect 3g when it find a wifi line..Nodata in roaming, if I'm not mistaken

Thanks for your help you are very kind
[Windows Mobile Software Development] uMP2k:
hmmm - never actually seen that one before. Seems to be similar to the one I am thinking off but just cannot find the thread.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] itsnotmeeee:
What errors are you getting?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BigDaddyG:
ConnToggle

I came across this program ConnToggle here on XDA but can no longer find it.

It is an alternative to NoData which lets you toggle the connections via command line or create shortcuts to toggle all GPRS connections on/off.

The best part is that it doesn't have the annoying prompts that NoData has.

No install needed, just copy to your device and run it.

Hello,

I have a rooted my G1 with ADP 1.5 and this worked well for weeks

But then I tried to install apps2sd, with entirely bricked my phone (stops with the blinking android label)

I still have access via fastboot and system recovery utility, so reflashing should not be the problem.

But since I have disabled syncronising with google and, as always when you brick something, made no backup, I need access to the calendar and contacts.

Does anyone know how to get them back anyhow (some wired plain xml would be fine)

Or does flashing not affect the personal data? (I do not dare to test)

Maybe someone can help me??

Thanks in advance
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Bricked = dead. Won't turn on. No recovery. No SPL. No fastboot.

You've soft bricked, which as you said you can recover from.

Anyway, you could try pulling the entire contents of /data and having a poke around in there, as it will still be intact.
[G1 General] anymad:
Well, since I am not an native english speaking person, I did not know that there is an difference between bricked and softbricked :)

But anyway, how can I still access /data ? (I find tons of manuals for reflashing, but none of accessing a softbricked phone )
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Actually you should be able to flash a ROM and get your phone back to normal without removing anything from /data. Try a donut/cupcake ROM, that should fix your problem.
[G1 General] odomandr:
contacts and calendar should be able to be seen from any computer.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Umm.....What?!
[G1 General] smackdown85146:
via gmail contacts. they automatically backup i think
[G1 General] killyouridols:
Log on to your Google account via a PC and the Interweb thingie and in your email section should be your contacts. Calender has its own seperate section. Dont know if this is what you are after, Hope it helps.
[G1 General] anymad:
Well I have disabled syncronisation with google, because many friends of me dont want to have their adresses and numbers stored at googles servers and I respect that. (Well I should think about another sync method)

So I tried to flash the rom with the cracked one I used before, which didn't work, and then tried the original ADP Rom from HTC. This still is not booting, but now I have acces via adb, with I had not before.

My Problem now is, that I can access /data only with root rights, so I can not use adb pull, nor ddms (and adb file explorer can not even connect, but I am still searching if I have done anything wrong there)

Any idea how to use any file explorer with root rights ( Don't care if for Linux or Windows)

Best regards,

anymad
[G1 General] kingchris:
have u tested this.

do a nandroid backup,

flahs a new rom.

after the new rom runs, turn your phone into fastboot mode and flash the data.img out of your nandroid backup

fastboot flash data data.img

if the calender and contacts data are storen in data.img you should get it back
[G1 General] codito:
Your friends are dumb and your data is secure on Google's servers. Turn sync back on and never have issues like this with things that should never be issues.
[G1 General] anymad:
Yeah, thank you very much kingchris, based on your idea I got it.

For all who search this, here is what I have done:

1. install the recovery image from cyanogen mod (http://www.cyanogenmod.com/downloads/recovery-image)

2. make an backup

3. wipe everything

4. flash with another image (I took this one : http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...g1/8791-cyanogenmod-full-updates-4-2-6-a.html) but I think it does not matter which one you take

5. restored the nandroid backup to get the data back on (thought I could just select data, but it seems to do full always)

6. reflash again with new image (without wiping before !!)

(I think you could save time when at step 5 you do what kingchris said and make a "fastboot flash data data.img" with the backup from nandroid)

This is what worked for me, but of course I give no warranty at all!

Alright. The ROM runs FAST. I have a few issues:

- Google Maps seems to be my old Google Maps w/o Navigation, the version just before. I did not wipe before I upgraded from CM 4.2.5 to this

- HTC Touch Input Force Closes.

I can post a log too but I'm pretty green so I'd have to look hard for relevant log info.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Zeus:
Is there anyway to stop the phone going to sleep ( screen going black ) when your making a phone call? Really annoying.

There was an app ( called SHake I think ) which woke it up if you shook the phone, but this wasn't very good.

cheers:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
hi guys,

im planing to get this phone and Im interested in next. Can someone tell, preferably person who is using or used both phones. Except difference in look(color, name...) is there any difference in software? Has T-Mobile changed something?

And second question is will I be able to update G2 Touch on v2.0(when it comes) or I would have to wait T-Mobile to release it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
There is essentially no difference. The G2 does have a "slightly" customized ROM, but the differences are mostly down to minor T-Mobile branding.

When 2.0 is released, you won't be able to install an HTC build directly onto the phone unless you've downgraded the SPL to an earlier version, but this isn't too onerous a process. Alternatively, you can wait for T-Mobile to release their own version of the ROM, which will probably be a month or so after the HTC build.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
or wait for pauls custom rom, which hopefully is out hours after the hts build ;)

i own the g2 (from t-mobile germany), after customising it there is no difference to the hero except from the t-mobile letters on top of the display. the t-mobile rom is really only slightly customised, but somewhat older than the newest updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
I lose warranty if I customize it, right?

So, before customizing there is basically no difference, there is still HTC Sense UI
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
idk about warranty, however if the phone is not completely dead you can always set it back to stock software in all belongings. imho it should not be possible to prove what you did.

sense ui is mandatory on the hero, you couldn't get rid of it if you wanted to*.

*as of this moment, work is ongoing on non-sense roms, don't see it happen too soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
Now that we have a working AOSP Eclair for our Hero, we should start looking at how we'd go about getting the Google data sync and applications on top of the ROM. I've looked around for more information and it doesn't seem like anyone has gotten this working in any way.

Where do we start?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
yeah anyone got any ideas? i want full 2.0 as well. i just want to say in the original aosp postings i tried pushing the libraries and got [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]. just so we get that out of the way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
I get much further than that. Currently the only thing I'm missing (I think) is the provider for android.server.checkin.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
If you don't post an actual error message, there's not much I can do to help you. There are a bunch of files that need to be pushed.

What are you pushing, and what errors are you getting. Not just the .apk name.. but WHAT apk and from where? Google talk is much easier for this sort of conversation (same username).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefanve:
Downsite is that it is then a private conversation, and many people are interested in this.

No, I didn't. And I can either work with someone quick and get a solution.. or we can sit here all day posting back and forth, which is incredibly inefficient. I'm not interested in doing that =).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
I don't think we can do anything until we get an official ROM from HTC. The GoogleCheckin.apk is now a signed apk and we can't just drop another version in, or so it seems. I don't know a ton about that part of the system, to be fair.

So i've been nosing around the dream forum, looking for ways to get apps onto a clean AOSP rom, and this seems to be the most promising method:

It strips the files from a nandroid backup, so its using software that we (the user) has purchased, rather than a download from HTC.

But sadly (not surprisingly?) it doesn't work for the Hero, just gives a bunch of FC's. And since i'm not a dev I have no idea where to go from here.
