[G1 General] heroskyy:
I was in my classes today, and i went to unlock my G1, and as i did, i saw that the colors of the screen were messed up. This meaning that, there were four to five white/grey pixelated bars separating the screen, and when i went to pull up the menu, the screen experiences what seemed to be a great amount of lag, and the white and grey bars seemed ti fill up more of the screen. When i boot up the phone, it is followed by just a black screen where the G1 should be, and when the android logo comes up, from the latest cyan, its all chopped up.

once the phone rebooted i went to slide the screen up to horizontal mode, and it was clear, and perfectly fine, but after i closed it once more, the screen just stayed black. i took out the battery and rebooted, and the same things happened again.

any idea what happened? is the a solution? should i buy a new phone?

like always, any help is appreciated

hi.....

i would like to know if its possible to restrict the number of conversations stored in htc messenging application manila 2.5.... via a registry tweak or app...

i can delete the messages from my cell every day but i want an automated app or tweak.... can any developer give us someting for it?
[Touch HD General] bigakira:
i look for the same "fix"

maybe exists an tool that archives messages ( > 5 newest ) automaticly to something like an backupfile, but i can't find anything. is this maybe possible with sk-tools?

I just got a Titan off of ebay with a 28002 6.5.3 build. I have not received the phone yet. Does anyone have any info or screenshots on this build?

I was reading this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=560259 and it mentioned that 28002 has sleep issues. Do people suggest that I put on 28011?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] RyanMogul:
If the phone has build 28002 then it has a Custom ROM on it, which means it has an unlocked bootloader on it. You can flash any Custom GPS ROM on there for a Titan that you want. Just make sure to search and read up on how to do so. Its fairly easy, all the hard stuff sounds like it has been completed.

Screenshots for that build look similar to this.

I only had my Diamond 2 for a day when a white line apeared on the right side of the display while charging.

After alot of talkes and tests at HTC service they replaced the device.

Now I am confused, Should I sell it or keep it?

Please advice.

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Aye! This is a developers site, not Ann Landers advice column...

Keep it, sell it, it depends on what YOU want.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] shafez:
Thank you for your great advice, Very Much appreciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
whilst i agree with you, i will give the OP this message:

if *i* had a brand new diamond 2 infront of me today... i would sell it and get a HD 2 ...i know it's bigger...but that snapdragon cpu is mighty fast...and yes, it's more expensive...but hey...go mow lawns for a weekend.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] shafez:
Thank you very much, this is what I really wanted to hear, I have not used the Diamond 2 long enough to like it or dislike it.

I wanted to know other people opinions about the device, people who used it enough to judge the device.

May be I asked the wrong way, but no need to make me feel like a fool.

Thank you very much and best regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
My apologies. Just seemed like a too general of a question. Just frustrated...

I meant you no disrespect.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] shafez:
It is ok mate, thank you and best regards ;):)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Zimaia:
Well i was too in the middle of the bridge to decide between TD2 and HD2

It is true that depends on you and your needs. In my case i decided for the TD2

because i need the stylus and the price is all most half.

If you do not need the stylus and have enouth money for the HD2 them go for it!!! :)

I love my TD2, every day i like it more. But that's me!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
I've had my TD2 since June '09 and have been on the verge of selling it many times.

But something stopped me.

Everytime I got frustrated with it's shortcomeings a cooked ROM would appear that made me persevere with my attempts at configuring the 'perfect' setup for me.

So to answer the question-

I would flash a 6.5.3 basic ROM (non manila as I run now) and be more than pleased with response, speed, stability and finger friendliness of the phone.

It's not perfect, but, light years ahead of the mess I had when I first took delivery of the T-mobile branded heap of *ra*!

However, in Jan I come up for an upgrade and I will seriously consider the HD2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mpathan:
HI,

Apologies in advance if this sounds like a dumb question.With the 6.5.3 ROM, will I need to manually reconfigure the email/internet/txt for it to work? Im using the standard T-Mobile 6.5 upgrade. Currently everything works, however the battery needs charging daily.

Thanks in advance

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
The latest ROMs all have a small configuration app that runs once they are booted for the first time.

My service provider (T-mobile UK) is setup when this happens and the only aspect missing is the voicemail number for the phone to retrieve messages.

I make sure that I have Voicemail set as a contact and the number is then available to use after any fresh sync and you don't have to remember it.

Copy the number when asked for it when dialing voicemail and thats that.

Any other settings will be wiped along with preferences, however, they should never be restored from a backup of a previously different ROM anyway.

I hope that helps!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
Forgot to add that you should see a marked improvement with the ROM I mentioned, but, remember, that it doesn't include the manila home screen app!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
My $.02 worth,

Its really like comparing the Raphael and the Kaiser.

HD2 is twice the phone the TD2 is, but you'll pay more.

I would love to have the HD2. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] shafez:
Diamond 2 is Stylish, Sexy and Petit, I like it, I also have iPhone 3g which I have been using for a year and never failed me.

HD2 is bigger than the iPhone and more expensive aswell.

Very confusing really :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mpathan:
Thanks that is helpful. DO you think the 6.5.3 rom will help with battery use. What new functionality is added over and above the standard UK TMOBILE ROM?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Speaking of cooked ROMs in general,

Not so much added functionality but removal of useless programs (bloatware) and tweaking the setttings for maximum performance (page pool, cache, etc.)

Each cooked ROM offers something different in the way of programs.

I'm thinking buying a HTC Hero to replace my Touch Dual, however I just have the option to buy it locked to a network I do not use :(

So, i'm wondering, there's a easy and safe way to unlock it? I've searched throught this forum but not found any sticky with the information I'm looking for.

Many thanks.

[Android Software Development] imfloflo:
Do you try to push the apk in another device or do you think it 'll need some modification of some files ?
[Android Software Development] Ace42:
They need to be resized and odexed or whatever so it can run on your G1/mytouch or whichever you have. Theres this script in the G1 section that does deodexes or something.
[Android Software Development] vigan8:
Ace is right. The sizes are to big for dreams and magics. is there even a way to resize the files? also, custom roms are going to become harder now that there are different sizes for phones, but im guessing cyanogen is going to make roms for the neXus :D

Our guys have been trying to push some of the apk's but not had any luck so far. Has anybody got any apk's from this onto any other build yet?
[Android Software Development] wimbet:
I tried with my phone and the emulator, but I am a newb. Most of the new apks require Android 2.1 by the way.
[Android Software Development] imfloflo:
if you tried the same method of installing the new maps fex week ago? they modify a file to let G1 thought it was on 2.0 kernel or 1.6 don't remember (system or settings files don't remember) after that the apk works on G1 and we can find it via the market. ask MLIGN he made the change.
[Android Software Development] jroid:
i believe this would work if

1. the .apk's aren't odexed (or un-odex them)

2. change the build.props out from neXus to the G1

3. the build you're running is 2.1
[Android Software Development] jubeh:
It's just a matter of changing the sdk version to the one the apk expects in build.prop (sdk version 7 for this, I think), but ofcourse, if it really does need the increased functionality it won't work.
[Android Software Development] jroid:
tried swapping out the .prop and it still wont install for the old sdk.
[Android Software Development] fumbalah:
There was the file posted on Sholes.info that was the image for the droid. Any one tested it out?
[Android Software Development] TemporalShadows:
I also thought I'd throw out there that the newest Hero builds are supposed to be based on 2.1. I know they're custom HTC builds, but it's closer to the target at least. Anyone tried that yet? I'd like to, but I can't flash any experimental stuff on my phone right now (need it for work).
[Android Software Development] jroid:
i've tried all my attempts on aosp 2.1. i just seem to get a no cert. error when installing. maybe it's because the .apk isn't signed.. for some reason i can re-sign zips but not .apks
[Android Software Development] Branwen:
I think the Hero 2.1 is based on sdk 6, rather than 7 so they still probably wont work
[Android Software Development] jimfin:
I tried pushing some of the apks onto my Hero 2.1. Can't get any of them to work, which seemed weird since they're both supposed to be Android 2.1 builds.

I want to check out the new launcher, can't wait until this bad boy gets ported :)

I did the whole classes.dex deal on the gallery3d.aol. I'm !named to install it but it just force closing. I don't think to classes.dex deal went down right. Also tried the geniewidget and kept getting sdk error. Just thought is share. I wanna checkout the droid image tonight when I get off work. This was all tried on a cdma hero running 2.1 with a .27 kernel. I know don't laugh at my kernel:D

Any info would be smashing ! :)
[HD2 General] mightymn:
The wiki is there for a reason dude!

Just take a look at the glossary and you'll know what ROM is.
[HD2 General] lude219:
A ROM is like a drop of LSD into your system; it takes you into a whole new dimension where everything is purple and you get to fly around with pigs and elephants.
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
A rom? Its a type of hot cafinated drink. you pour said drink over the phone, or drop the phone into a cup full and let the sweet sweet caffeine soak right into the flash chips (also called crisps). Its recommended you do this daily, the HTC Leo gets quite hungry lol :)

But seriously look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROM_image , should explain it all.
[HD2 General] onisuk:
they typical sarcastic answers i've come to expect on this forum .... so unhelpful !
[HD2 General] bug666:
I know right? haha

Ok so just 1 more, are the Leo ROMs for installing on other devices or do you install it on the Leo to speed the system up?
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
Unhelpful? I linked to a whole wiki on the answer....couldn't be more helpful if I copied and pasted the wiki here :)

Also I didn't see you answer the OPs question.
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
Yes the leo ROM can only be flashed to the Leo. At the moment there are only official ROMs that don't really speed anything up yet, but soon you'll be able to flash modded ROMS. Keep an eye on the ROMs Thread and the Leo wiki in my signature below.
[HD2 General] bug666:
I see I see !

you've had SO many phones by the way haha my attention was more drawn to that

and finally, what sorts of things can you do with ROMs? Say if I was to install one.
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
Thanks, I've had way more than in that list, those are just some of the more memorable ones :)

A ROM isn't a program and can't just be installed.Its more like an image or backup of an entire harddrive, it includes windows, installed programs, settings and drivers.

You can modify a ROM before you flash it to your device. Add our remove apps, change the appearance and behavior, change the OS version and try out as yet unreleased versions of winmo e.g. winmo 7 alpha or betas. The list does go on and gets quite complex, definitely something you should read up on before attempting.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
ROM = operating system of a phone, a bit like Windows XP or Vista on your computer.

What can you do with 1....allows you to effectively interface with the phone and its programs, much like you can do on a computer or laptop.

Hope this simplistic explanation helps.

WB

PS: Omneity's explanation below is more accurate than mine. I was merely trying to keep it simple so you could get a handle on things.
[HD2 General] omneity:
Just to add for additional clarity: ROM is Read Only Memory i.e. it is designed that the contents can only be read in normal usage, they cannot be written to, so the original (ROM) image remains unchanged no matter what content the user adds to the phone. It's because the ROM (a silicon chip) is read-only that makes it a complex procedure to overwrite them as is the case with writing a new ROM image as discussed elsewhere on this forum.

When people discuss ROM on here they are actually talking about the software (ROM image), otherwise known as the firmware (it's software firmly embedded onto the ROM chip) that's programmed to the ROM chip, not the physical chip itself.

Hello everyone. I am branching over to XDA from Androidforums in need of more guidance.

First, let me say I HAVE searched for instruction to my post, I HAVE NOT been successful with any of my reading. I just closed three separate windows of firefox with a total of near 75 tabs, all related to apps2sd, but none giving the specific instruction I need.

If in reading this you can think of another thread that has my answer, PLEASE post it for me. -much appreciated

If not, please read and help if possible. (I am listing my set up in case it is user specific)

CDMA Hero

Rooted

RA-Heroc v1.2.3 Recovery

Fresh 1.0 Rom

My goal is to initialize and complete the process of setting up apps2sd system today.

I would like to sucessfully have this running and I cannot find any specific guide on "how to". I have however found MANY that speak about it after the fact.

So, please someone tell me what I need to do to set this up. I want apps off device and to have a "swap space (???)" set up.

Can I do this now (after having flashed custom rom) or do I need to start all over, beginning with apps2sd process first and then flashing Rom.

Detailed instructions much appreciated, or a link to appropriate thread.

THANKS!! Rep points for you!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
You just need to partition your SD card as ext2+FAT+swap and reboot. That's all.

This will erase your SD card, so be sure you copy everything off first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Please edit the title of this thread and take out the [ROM] prefix. This is not a ROM and the title is misleading.

Thanks.

EDIT: Does FreshROM 1.0 have apps2sd? I thought it only supported it if you had it on there previously.

EDIT: Never mind, I just saw this in the FreshROM apps2sd rant post - "Now with all of THAT said -- this rom officially has and supports Apps2SD. "
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TF1984:
Got it, sorry, done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TF1984:
Are you serious, it's that simple?!!! argggh.

Okay, but with a bit more detail... I am rebooting into recovery mode and then doing this? Can you explain with just a tad more detail? thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Haha there is no more detail. Just format your SD card with that option. WAM BAM DONE
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I swear I'm not a cop! I just made the same mistake once.

I tried looking for apps2sd info a while back and ran into your same dilemma. I ended up using Modaco's ROM (actually, I used the UNOFFICIAL updated modaco made by obelisk79) because it already had it on there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Right in the recovery options there's one that says something like "Format SD card: Ext2+FAT+swap" or something like that. Choose that, then reboot.

I thought Fresh 1.0 had AppsToSD built-in. If it doesn't, this won't actually accomplish anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TF1984:
Okay, I found it. Thanks for the help. Is this the same as "swapping" b/c I heard a lot of negative press about swapping only working well for a day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Well, I would back up your card first. Just copy everything over to your computer, format your card, reboot your phone and then copy everything back to your SD.
