Thanks to all who don't use search and open directly a new thread, it is more difficult to find something for the searching people (like me), because you get a huge number of hits with irrelevant threads... Get it?

I don't want to demotivate but motivate to search and read. When you give directly a helping link, they stay doing it.

Seeing every time new opened threads from newbies with every time the same silly questions, that's very demotivating for us, the people who supposed to help you. And that's what you'r looking for here, somebody who wants to help you. We don't have to do it, but we like it because this forum is a bit like a hobby for us.

So, we can shoose, saying nothing more or trying to teach you how a forum works. I prefer the last thing... And if somebody like me (the bad one) point you in the right direction, it's not for beeing bad, but for getting a better usefull forum. You can see in my posthistory that it's really multiple times a day that new useless threads were opened...

Normally it's a work for the moderators, but they also have a live and can not be always here, because also them are doing this as a hobby. Be all glad that I don't be one of them or it was the same comment and also closing the thread directly.

I take some time for this post because I can quote him for futur use when I get comments again from not-readers, not-searchers, new-post-openers and silly-question-posters...

If you have really followed my posts, you know that I help a lot when the rules are followed a bit...

And do you know why I can help others? Because I read a lot... :rolleyes:

I am using UDK R7, I get the updates,.. have you tried a hard reset see if that sorts it out...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] joe mboule:
Sorry that i posted to wrong section. I thought it was a problem with Sense and not the rom, reason being my posting to this section. I think hard resetting would be extreme. Will search and see if anything comes up.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] rumz82:
I understand bro, all i was getting at was just try to put it in a nicer way,thats all. regarding "silly" posts or questions, yeah, i have seen some VERY silly questions and i think to myself "the human stupidity IS infinite"! :D and i understand that it is coz of those posts/questions, ppl can get fustrated as it does clutter the forum.

I know you have helped alot of ppl, continue to do so.

i admit i personally havnt had alot of input in the forum as i still am a newbie, and anytime i have thought of answering a question, i fall back thinking if i am giving the right or wrong answer as i dont wanna make a fool out of myelf :D just being honest bro.

I need some help with GIMP. I have a landscape launcher png that I want to rotate but every time I rotate it the gray and black checkerd background stays up and down and I only see a little bit of the picture.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelamacmdr:
create a new image with the dimensions flipped and then move it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgorman:
thanks for the reply. I'm actually not gonna do this anymore. I put the portrait launcher on my phone and it looks like poop so I have no reason to mod the landscape.

mods you can close this if you would like
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardchoille:
After you rotate it using Layer > Transform > Rotate, you have to adjust the canvas to fit the layer with Image > Fit Canvas To Layers.

I have been using GIMP for years and am willing to help you if needed.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freekyfrogy:
or for future reference, just go to image>transform>rotate and it will rotate the whole image and not just the layer ;)

there are a few little registry edits I would like to make, but first I need to get to it/find it. Most post I have read basically say "just edit the registry," would love to but I have no idea how. Is there a How-to, that can spell it out in cave man drawings and crayon??

thank you much

[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi

You need a registry editor, you can search for it. If you have dotfred's task manager installed http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm, it has also a registry editor. It works basically like a file explorer, remember to backup before changing using function export and import. If something goes wrong hard reset will sometimes be the only solution ;)

ok here's the problem

i have a htc dream from rogers

hboot-1.33.2005 original was 1 . 33. 0010

i used this method to root my phone

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod

but while i was doin this i skipped one step the part when you have to install the htc system image of android 1.6

and went strait to installing cyanogen 4.2.7

now phone in normal boot is stuck on the rogers boot screen

but it still goes into fast boot and recovery Cyanogen v 1.4

but i tried to flash it in fast boot again with the correct method but instead of detection as android phone or htc adp device it detects as android 1.0 Can any one help it would be very helpful

thanks

not too sure but can't you reflash the base image and start all over from scratch?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychoace:
Easiest solution would be to buy a Micro SDHC card reader typically one that looks like a USB stick. It saves you all the hassle of fast boot and all that junk. My MicroSd card reader has saved me a lot of time when I had to reformat my partions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow_wing:
U could start 4rm scratch but this time use amon_ra's recovery it works great..plus the same thing happened to me the 1st time i ever rooted (about a year ago) so ur cool. As 4 the 1.6 image use the offcial rom then flash wat u want :D jus my 2 cents.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsambhav:
ya ik wat u are sayin but see i don't know how to install the base image from the sd card btw i have a sdhc card and the reader
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsambhav:
how can i install the recovery wwhen i can't boot in my phone i can only go in recovery mode and fastboot :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robkoehler:
wipe first, then flash the 1.6 image just like you flashed the cyanogen update. after it restarts, hold down home to get back to recovery and flash your cm update. done

wHEN I INSTALL THE IMAGE LIKE THE CYNOGEN IT SAY FINDING UPDATE PACKAGE

OPENIN IT

e: NO SINGNATURE

e: vERIFICATION FAILED
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagge68:
This should be a pretty simple fix.

First: Find a Cyanogen 4.0.4 .zip or something that came out about the same time.

Second: Wipe

Third: Flash that image

Forth: Ensure it boots

Fifth: Flash the 1.6 image

Sixth: Go to Cyanogen's or Wes Garner's latest build

Trying a .zip that doesn't require that should fix your problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsambhav:
ya i am new to this but can u give me little more detail on step second and fifth

thx
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagge68:
Step 2: Power down device, Power up while holding down the "Home" key, and select "Wipe" or "Factory Reset" which ever is listed in your Recovery Boot.

Step 5: Download THIS IMAGE and then in Recovery Mode flash this .zip

Step 6: Happens w/o a reboot. After flashing Step 5 directly flash @cyanogen's or @wesgarner's ROM

*I HIGHLY RECOMMEND @wesgarner's ROM HERE as it has been faster and much more stable for me than @cyanogen's ROM's lately*

Let's Go Straight Ahead

In my opinion, Opera 10 is the best browser for Windows Mobile, as I hate Internet Explorer(Mobile and PC versions) :D

Overview

The new interface is very nice, in my opinion it's the best GUI of all the other browsers.

The zoom feature is very nice and useful, you can also impress you friends with this ;)

The Speed Dial feature is very good and very sexy:D, for people like me that like very much thumbnails, this is your browser;) and also for people that like to impress the friends(like me:D).

The Tabs feature is very very useful. Let's talk serious, anyone today can life without tabs? Opening more and more browsers is very bad and the tabs can organize much more you life, also in Opera you can see the thumbnails of each page, feature that I like very sexy:D

Internet Explorer?

After using Opera(in any kind of platform), you will never more use any other browser, also those guys that are IE fans ;)

You chooce now!

What did you want: That horrible Internet Explorer or Opera?

Hey, i found this thread in the X1 section, it has download of X2 software like keyboard which i have tested and works perfect (better than HTC), dialer which works fine (does not work with manila 2.5 links), couple games, comm manager, and panles which all work on Diamond 2 so should work on HD.

I was wondering if someone could get the dialer to work with the links in manila 2.5?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] CR7KB24:
any help? ... bump
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Coderedpl:
Which ones do you guys think is better?

The google sync via inputting info in active sync or installing the seven application?

Whats the difference anyway?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] skyler17:
Seven! Works better, can be used with any type of email.

Google Sync synchronizes contacts and your calender though I have had many experiences when it has duplicated my contacts :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DarienA:
What is Seven?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] skyler17:
Look on my software thread, type ctrl+f on your keyboard and type in Seven.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dik23:
Seven is excellent

Only problem I have is that it occasionally drops my Hotmail password. Doesn't do that with other email accounts so maybe it's Microsoft being difficult, wouldn't be a surprise
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Coderedpl:
One big reason why I'm about to get rid of all exchange info and install seven again. I had the privilege of deleting duplicates.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bvone21:
hmmm...I wasn't expecting the resounding vote for Seven. I've been using Google Sync for while now with no problems. Everything (contacts, calendar, email) is synced with my gmail account so it's easy when I reflash roms to get everything back. And very useful if gmail is your primary webapp for such things from your PC as well...maybe that's what should determine which route you go.

But if I had problems like the above comments...I may feel otherwise. I'll give Seven a look as well to see if there's any benefit for me change.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bvone21:
is Seven for push email only? aren't there a number of ways to get your email? IMAP, or push with google sync or windows live.

To me the kicker is calendar and contacts syncing. I guess combining different apps, ie. seven, myphone, dashwire or something would get you similar features...but google sync is just a couple settings to change.

...If google sync is duplicating your contacts, you can have it not sync contacts and just rely on MyPhone for contacts backup I guess too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Coderedpl:
Seven does your calendar and contacts too, as well as tasks.

I like keeping my contacts up to date via pc, so whenever I need to change something I'll just go and sync them up
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mschmitt:
I've gone back and forth between the two several times. (When I flash a new ROM, I start over). I used Seven happily on a Moto 9h for a year, before Google Sync launched.

Generally, I'd prefer to use Google Sync, just to have fewer intermediary programs. For the first few months of Sync, it had some problems compared to Seven -- attachments weren't always delivered, delivery was a few minutes slower. All those seem to have been cleared up, and now I get messages a few seconds before they show up via IMAP on my laptop.

But Seven is still a great option, and I never had a problem with it. It has one idiosyncrasy on the TP2 -- on the little envelope on the Manila e-mail tab, the preview of the e-mail text doesn't show up. You see subject and sender, but have to click for text. I'm not a big fan of that stupid envelope (would much prefer the full preview that seems to be in Manila 2.5), but as long as I'm using it, I want to be able to see the text.

If either one added the ability to flag a message and have it show up as starred in gmail itself, it would tip the scales. What we really need is a simple, reliable, no-fuss way to use push IMAP to sync mail. Until then, either of these will do fine, and also sync calendar and contacts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ctbear:
I have always wanted to use google sync exclusively since I use a lot of google's services. However one big drawback is when I use google sync to sync my contacts, the contact pictures become very low-res after transfer.

Does Seven have the same problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] da9th_one:
i dont want to use google b/c they keep a never-ending file of data...alas, microsoft is making it sooo hard to stay away from google, when they allow google to sync contacts, calander, and email, when their own hotmail/live fail/refuse to deliver such a mesh of services...

i simply want to use a single service to sync all of the above...Damn you microsoft...!!! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL...!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bvone21:
Is that Google Sync's doing? That is annoying....it didn't occur to me that it was Google Sync doing that. with Manila 2.1 it's pretty annoying since they have those large contact pictures in the contacts tab...not quite noticeable in 2.5...but still

Seven Help

I have been trying to get Seven to install on my Tilt 2 but it won't connect. I get to the last step and it just times out and tells me that it is unable to connect. I have checked all the settings and it still won't work. Does anyone have any idea what I have to do to get it to connect. I used Seven on my Kaiser (Tilt 1) and it was perfect. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Coderedpl:
They are having problems with their servers. I checked their forums, pissed me off too much so i switched back to active sync setup method
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] efjay:
Does Seven allow you to specify times it should connect eg weekdays during working hours excluding weekends?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thebigrhinoone:
Thanks for the info on the servers. I checked it out and they should be up soon. I had it working for a couple days and it was nice. I removed the file it put to run on startup so it wouldnt bring me to the seven menu screen everytime I had to soft reses my phone. (Just a tip for anyone who cares and it didnt affect anything.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thebigrhinoone:
Efjay

It allows you schedule times that you dont want it to push (quiet time). You can adjust the hours you want during the week or weekend.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ghaywood:
I wanted to go to the official ION with my Magic 32A, so first I flashed the update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip and that seemed to go fine, then restart into fastboot and applied the signed-google_ion-ota-14721.zip from the htc developer site and thats when the s**t started.

When restarting I get the "htc magic" slash screen and thats it. I cannot get into the fastboot console (home/power or back/power) in fact nothing seems to do anything.

Before I burst into tears, is there a solution to my problem?

This was a HTC badged unlocked phone that I have flashed roms before, but this attempt has gone horribly wrong....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fezypoo:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:
edit : that is only system image and only for ion

does adb detect it?

you can try one thing

make a gold card

paste some ones backup (make sure its for 32A)

boot.img

system.img

recovery.img , etc

and then

try loading boot loader

i.e vdown + power

Also, I know this is n00b, but I an a bit confused with the gold card thing. Is there a howto for using via ubuntu?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ghaywood:
I have read the gold card creation, and it talks about getting the CID when the phone is on. Obvoiusly I cant do that :-)

Here's an update.zip for those having difficulty installing Maps from the Android Market. Details about the update are in the other thread. This updater should install cleanly over the old version (it did for me). If you have issues with FC, try uninstalling the previous version and possibly clearing out the dalvik cache.

Note: Those who are more comfortable with adb can simply extract the apk from the zip file and manually push it into the /system/app folder.

If you have AOSP_ADP_1.6 here is what I had to do:

I had to go to the /expstick/vsapps folder on the ext partition and delete the (mine was called) GoogleMaps.apk there then goto recovery and update the Maps_3.3.0_update.zip file I downloaded from the apps forum to get Maps 3.3.0 to work...
[G1 Apps and Games] Pfeffernuss:
Yes, works! Including Latitude. Regretted removing the previous Maps but now that it all works again I'm happy :D
[G1 Apps and Games] philje123:
Many thanks.

I just did it as the update.zip and it worked like a charm.

I did delete all associated data and remove the previous version of maps before hand though.

I then went into the market and installed over it in there which it did straight away so that I will be notified of any future updates and hopefully be able to install them.

[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
Same way you would use any other update.zip: put it at the root directory of your sdcard and reboot into recovery. The apk file has to be pushed into the system app folder to work.

Unable to update using any of methotd mentioned here...

I have ADP1 with 1.6 ROM and I am still unable to update Maps. I have removed the previous Maps (3.2. "hacked" to allow European navigation), now I have Maps 3.1.2 installed (I don't know how to uninstall these, there is no option to do so in Application manager).

1) Using the Market results in "INstallation error: Package file was not signed correctly."

2) Using the update.zip provided here results in "Aborting Install" when the yellow bar reaches the middle.

3) Trying to install Maps.apk provided in this thread results in "Application not installed: Maps could not be installed on this phone"
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
Sounds like your 1.6 is not based on ADP (not using the test keys). This updater is for folks with "rooted" phones only (test keys as opposed to release keys).

BTW in order to uninstall an application contained within the /system/app folder, you have to remount and remove it manually. Application manager cannot do that for you.
[G1 Apps and Games] Fuxoft:
My Build number is "dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys". AFAIK, I downloaded this from the official ADP1 firmware page.

I removed Maps.apk file from /system/app/ folder but still the same problem persists, as described above.

I got this to work by removing the maps apk altogether, replacing it with the maps.apk in the zip file from my sd card in the terminal using:

rm /system/app/GoogleMaps.apk (or Maps.apk)

cp /sdcard/*location of unzipped apk*/Maps.apk /system/app

I couldn't find it in my app drawer, so using Astro, I went into the /system/app folder and opened Maps from there and it was in the drawer after that. Going into the market, I was able to update it from there with no problems.
