[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmarshal:
hi,

a few days ago i uninstalled google maps on my G1 running the latest version on CyanogenMod. So i thouhgt i would reset everything by doing a wipe in the CM recovery Console (v1.4). So after doing a wipe i see that Google maps is still not there again. Im aware that i can install it again, but i would like to do a complete reset of all system files.

Could someone give me a hint on how to do this?

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H@OBouget:
We need a little more info to be able to help.

What version of CM are you running?

Are you willing to do a complete wipe?

Were you running apps2sd?

Were you running a swap file or compcache?

Were you running a modified boot img?

Do you have a nandroid back-up?

Do you have any form of back up?

IF you don't know the answers to any of those that is fine, an "I don't know" is better than a "No", when it was really a "Yes".

All CM roms after {at least} 4.2.3.1 need the signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip (signed.zip)

{You can do a search for the link on these forums.}

The Google Maps apk comes from the signed.zip. Reflashing the CM on later versions will not get you anything from Google.

In fact you can really mess up your phone if you don't have the signed.zip .

You might wanna find it, download it, and have it on hand for when you need it.

And let us know the answers to the above questions so we can help you out.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmarshal:
Thanks for the reply!

I'm running CyanogenMod v4.2.8.1

Yes, i would love to do a complete wipe:)

I was not using swap2sd or compcache(as far as i know)

Concerning the Boot Image i have Recovery 1.4

Yes, i have Nandroid backup

Firmware-Version: 1.6

Baseband-Version: 62.50S.20.17U_2-22-19.26I

Kernel-Version: 2.6.29.6-cm42 shade@toxygene )

Build-Number: DRC83

I hope this info helps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H@OBouget:
To have installed 4.2.8.1 you had to have the signed.zip file listed above.

Do not wipe ...yet ;)

Try this...

HOME+POWER to boot to recovery

Install from zip

the signed.zip.....DO NOT REBOOT

Install from zip

cm 4.2.8.1.zip

REBOOT

The signed.zip should replace your maps program.

You might look into putting Amon Ra's recovery program on there instead of CM rec 1.4 RA's is more detailed and will allow you to wipe more data on the sdcard such as your dalvik cache and any partition data...IF you need to .

Try this simple step first and see where it gets you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmarshal:
Ok, i applied the signed.zip, and after that i reapplied CyanogenMod 4.2.8.1.

Google Maps is back but some setting didnt get cleared. For example, the USB Debug mode is still on, or it continued to download some updates which i started earlier. It didnt reset everything.

Any idea why that might be?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H@OBouget:
LOL You said you wanted maps back...I got you maps back.

And now your not happy Jeez! :D

USB debugg is automatically turned on by the CM rom.

go to Settings>applications>Development to turn it off.

We didn't do a Fresh install we just did an re-install.

If you want to actually wipe it clean, then I highly suggest using Ra's recovery since it is a one click wipe.

Cm Recovery will wipe too.

Home+Power to cm rec 1.4

Wipe

Install from zip

signed.zip

install from zip

cm 4.2.8.1

REBOOT

And you should have a fresh install with no other data.

If you have apps already on there when you reboot, then you have apps2sd active and you need to wipe the ext partition to clear those apps.

The Amon Ra recovery will do that for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmarshal:
Well, i want to wipe since i got the feeling is a bit messed up. Just seems very slow at times and my connection drops once in a while.

So i'm going to Install Amon Ra's recovery and perform a wipe.

I didnt have app2sd active. I never did any partitioning to my sdard. Im going to Low Level format my sdcard just to make sure nothing is left on there. But as i mentioned, i did the reinstall as you said and after it booted, and i didnt the sign in stuff, setting time etc... it continued to download 2 apps which i started earlier.

I'll let you know how it went with Amon Ra's ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmarshal:
Ok, this worked great! I installed Amon Ra's Recovery and executed ever option which had the word "wipe" in it;) Then applied signed.zip and after CMod. Perfect!

Thanks a lot for your help:)

Copying home made videos

An iphone can't copy home made videos.

I created a video of my mate riding a motorbike at Oulton Park using Cyberlink Power Director (Brilliant program for my needs), saved the file as an mp4 and then tried copying to my mates iphone.

Unfortunately I have iTunes installed on my PC so I can only sync to 1 ipod...a bit rubbish for my purposes.

Also try sending a file via bluetooth to an iphone...I couldn't.

Connect HTC phone to your PC, select to use as disk drive, select video files, copy, paste...job done!

Anyway enough of my rant about iphones, I'm on my second HTC (currently Touch HD) and will be upgrading to another HTC in the near future.
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
hmm,

The music DAW and synth apps keep drawing me to the iphone but I simply wont be told what I can and cannot install or copy to my own device, its like apple have taken two steps forward with multi touch and their gui and then 3 back by locking it down completely.

i-tunes can suck my fat micro SD.
[Touch HD General] MAMeingast:

LOL

That (and the fact that multi-tasking isn't possible) are the two main reasons keeping me from even thinking about using an iphone...
[Touch HD General] MaskedMarauder:
If you want a limited number of answers then ask, as you did, what the iPhone can do that the Blackstone can not and you will get few answers.

Ask what the HD can do that the iPhone can not and I can give you a much larger list.

And the few things the iPhone can do that the HD can't the HD2 can.

But if you really want to piss an iPhone user off, ask them to show them an app, leave it running in the background and then show you another...
[Touch HD General] balane:
You can also have a spare battery and watch movies on a long flight. By using removable storage you have access to unlimited data size by using as many MicroSD cards as you want. People get down on the stylus, I'm not sure why it's so evil, but you can't use them on an iPhone screen and if you want to draw a picture or jot down a quick diagram, flow-chart, make a quick map, etc. there is nothing as good as using the speed and precision of a stylus. Your screen is larger to and has something like 250% the resolution that the iPhone has. You have access to hundreds of thousands of applications from thousands of different distributors, not from just one store with pricing dictated by them. You can video-conference-call if you so choose. Your phone is highly configurable and modifiable. You seldom see two Windows Mobile devices that look alike, you seldom see an iPhone that looks different from another.

Everything :-) Just got HD2 and it looks promessing for now .--..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ilovem:
Hey guys, I hope someone of you can help me,

all of a sudden the videos I have on my storage card of the HD2 don´t show up in the album "photos & videos" anymore. It just shows the photos, the videos have "vanished"....but they still are on the storage card and they play just fine, but I have to manually go to the storage card folder they are in to play them, but i want them to be displayed in the "photos & videos" tab of htc hd2 sense.

Can anyone help me, this is really frustrating :( :confused:

switching on and off the hd2 doesn´t help either....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fards:
what have you installed or changed lately?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ilovem:
I converted a movie file with the videora htc hd2 converter http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/htc-hd2/ (note that I converted it to match the htc touch hd, because the htc hd2 is not listed as "mobile phone profile")

I once tried to sync it with windows media player, and already didn´t show up in the "photos & videos" tab. Second time I just drag & dropped the movie file onto the storage card into "storagecard/dcmi/100media/..." Both times I could play the movie out of the windows explorer on the hd2 but never showed up in the "photos & videos" tab....

I started to sort the files in the "100media" folder on the storage card by name, date etc because I thought that could have been the problem. Then I selected "show all files" in that "100media" folder.....nothing, so I reversed everything to its initial status like it was before I changed.

Now even the videos shot with the HD2 camera won´t show up, but they are there...... :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ilovem:
Oh sorry I forgot, I installed lately a custom taskbar, maybe that is the problem? but I deleted it now...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Toss3:
Some video files won't show up, but it largely depends on the format and encoding options. So just use the settings suggested in the HD2 video encoding thread and you're good to go! ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ilovem:
yes ok thanks for the help, but it even doesn´t show its "own" videos, I mean the videos shot with the camera of the hd2....I don´t think that it has to do with video formats?.... I think that would be too simple.... :(:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Toss3:
Gonna try it myself, but none of my videos have ever been shown in coverflow(isn't this the music player btw?). I think what you're referring to is called "Album". :)

Edit: My own recorded videos do show up in the album so you've either got your storage location set to something other than the default folder or something is messed up in your manila files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CrazyDreads21:
Hey devs, still working on making it so that HTC Messaging will handle incoming SMSs from Google Voice. At first I was starting with trying to change HTCMessaging to connect via web instead of SMSC, but that has proven to be a big circular pain, so now I'm trying a different route. I'm tweaking some code that is very similar functionally to OneDialer that will accept the incoming SMS and also send out via packet data, but what I'm trying to do is have it insert the contents of that message directly into whereever HTCMessaging stores SMS(and also activate Notification even), but I can't find it. Any help getting pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, It'd be nice to have free SMS from Google Voice show up in the gorgeous Messaging tab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CrazyDreads21:
Bump...and small update: 1.) I have found and analyzed the dll that handles all the SMS commands with IDA Pro, but past that I'm basically looking at a massive amount of code I could definitely use help sorting through, and 2.) I know that SMS are stored in cemail.vol which obviously is edb format, and I don't know if I can find the code in right applications, like Microsoft My Phone, in order to write to that file.

So right now I'm at a crossroads, with two routes I think I could take:

- I could tweak HTC Messaging to pull from a file of my own making

- I could create a program that is able to write to cemail.vol, while this method would simplify everything after that part of the process, and create the most desirable results, it would be very difficult to unlock the file in the first place because it is locked by the very messaging client I want to read from it.

I would GREATLY appreciate the help of any devs out there who are smarter than me, because I'm sure a lot of people are going to want this app once it is finished.

does anybody know how to enable the scrollingfunction in Tomeraider?

on my ex HD there was no problem with scrolling, on my new HD2 it works only

in the Index of Tomeraider.

I use Tomeraider since years on all my HTC's with a 4GB Wiki with pictures without this scrolling issue and on very long articles it is hard to scroll with the slider.

I have temporary installed FtouchSL, then the scrolling is back but the soft is not 100% compatible with the HD2.(i think)

is there a regkey to activate the scrolling ?

in Notes the scrolling also doesn't work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dingolino:
On my german hd2 it is working.

In index with kinetic scroll inside an article I can scroll but not kinetic, which is a little bit unconvinient if you are used to kinetic scrolling.

My rom is 1.48

TR is installed on the storage card

Best regards,

dingolino
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Flapflapflap:
my ROM is also 1.48

Kinetic scrolling works in the index like a charm, but in the articles i have only the slider for scrolling.

when i want to use fingerscrolling only textselection occurs.
[HD2 General] Daan0:
I want to do a rom update, but the HTC website says i need the serial number for it. I looked up were i could find it and they said it was under my battery. But how do i get it out, i don't have that paperthing under it anymore, it looks impossible for me?:confused:
[HD2 General] Archer:
It does come out, but you don't need to do that to get the serial number.

Go to the settings tab, scroll all the way down and select "About". Then select "Phone Identity" and scroll down to see the serial number (S/N).
[HD2 General] Daan0:
Okay thanks but now i get a new problem, it says my device is not suitable for this software. I got a Dutch Htc Hd 2 so i don't get why it's nog letting me download it.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Is your HD2 SIM free, or is it from your telco?
[HD2 General] Daan0:
Well i'm a real newb at this point, i always had an old prepaid sony ericsson. But i have an subscription with vodafone. (Sorry for my bad English)
[HD2 General] Archer:
That's fine mate - you're making perfect sense. Your English is good.

The ROMs on the HTC site are for unbranded phones (SIM free). You will need to use Goldcard to install the new ROM. Read this thread to learn about it...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591239

I'm afraid I can't advise you on the Goldcard, as I myself have never used it. Lots of others have though, so I'm sure they'll help if you get stuck.

Good luck :)
[HD2 General] Daan0:
Okay, thanks for your fast posts :). I'll see what i'm going to do.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jirrka:
I just bought HTC Touch 2. Everything was ok, until I activated ActiveSync together with company Exchange email service.

From this time I always get "unlocking form" when I switch off display.

I checked Activesync setting, and there is configured, that locking code should be requested after 60 minutes.

But it locks just after several minutes of non working, or just after display switch off.

I already downloaded "advanced configuration tool", but still I am not sure, where and what to reconfigure.

Thanks a lot for help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ARBSM:
Wrong forum, but anyhow, check the settings menu, lock icon on your phone. When enabled, the device locks automatically upon connection to prevent your data.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jirrka:
I am sorry for wrong forum, just now I realizet that I am on wrong place.

But still, is somehow possible to set it that way, that it locks really after 60 minutes (what is configured in activesync ...)

Its really anoying to unlock every minute the phone.

I asked my friends with another type of HTC and they do not have such problems ...

I have to say, that also my company pushes some policy every 60 minutes, so some temporary solution does not fit for me...
[HD2 General] Lukasss:
Hi guys,

I have a small problem with ActiveSync. Sometimes it just hangs there with "waiting for network" message, until I disable the data connection and let ActiveSync dial out again. Account syncs with Google.

I already disabled the DNS chache via the registry, but it doesn't help. When I click on Synchronize the application goes into "connected" status but the mails are not being received or sent... until I long press the End key and terminate data connection so that Active Sync connects it again... Then the issue is resolved for some time.

This happens at random, can't find any pattern. I tried disableing the proxy server in connections but that doesn't help either.

Any thoughts?

Grtz

rather tha adding this to page 14+ of the existing thread I thought it was worth bringing it to frustrated Vodafone users.

Like most I was caught by VF pulling this device, so I tried the other networks, O2 no stock, Tmobile no stock, both unsure when. Tried 6 london O2 shops - no stock.

Rang HTC Europe and spoke to the VF account manager.

HTC line is :After discussions, VF are to contine supplying this phone. It may take until early next week for them to filter this fact down to all sales staff and shops but we should be seeing supplies comming in within the next week,

HTC sales manager asked me to phone if I still keep getting the 'we no longer supply' message from VF after monday next (21/12)

WATCH THIS SPACE

22/12/2009

I phoned VF upgrades up to see what the current VF line is.

Was informed that whilst retail customers will not be supplied the person thought that VF business customers will still be supplied!!!

Passed this on to HTC Europe VF account manager, who stated that this was incorrect and would follow this up with VF and get back to me.

Awaiting a call
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Interesting... will definately be watching the Vodafone forums for this.
[HD2 General] hassan:
That could be interesting as there are reports that Vodafone maybe pulling it altogether from sale in favor of iPhone. Here is a original source

i still maintain, this is a poor move from VF
[HD2 General] flashflash:
I was with vodafone, ordered the HD2 back in November when originally released on vodafone's website, kept on getting fobbed off with out of stock. Ordered with tmobile on the 1st, took delivery on the 12th. Not alot of stock is getting supplied to shops because they are selling out from the web sales.

Vodafone were a complete bunch of sh*ts. I was told "yes we have in stock right now", I pay for the upgrade and then "oh not in stock". A week later, "Yes in stock", "no not in stock", "General recall", "not selling anymore" ,"yes we are"

The way new customers and existing customers have been treated is disgusting. Have a look at there own forum!
[HD2 General] kashumer:
I have to say that I'm proberly one of the few people who got the HD2 from Vodafone when it was launched. Then a fault developed with the screen, however I also got the run around from VF for about a month, with the same story. Finally today (16th December) my local store managed to get me replacement handset, they pulled alot of strings as I'm lead to believe, they also have been told that the phone is being discontinued. But no reason has been given. Also that if this phone goes bad within 28 days then no replacement though they will offer alternatives to the HD2, like what?!
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
I'm really annoyed by this. After being told by stores last week that retail shops would not sell them anymore, then getting teh email from the eForum mods to tell me that HD2s were no longer available I left Vodafone to join T-Mobile. It cost me two months line rental (£70) to end my contract and get my PAC.

Only today, one of my colleagues at work has had a phonecall from a Vodafone store to tell her that they just got 9 HD2s in!!

If Vodafone are going to re-supply then I've missed out on the free upgrade that I was offered and it's cost me £70. If this is the case I can safely that I'll never rerturn to them, regardless of the handset of deal they offer.
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Have you still got the email that says it's no longer available? If so, you could always draft a nice whinge letter to Voda, enclose a print out of the email and ask them to refund the £70 as a "goodwill gesture"

No guys, i have a rogers magic, which means i was running 1.5 cupcake cause rogers refuses to update, i had to update that rom to fix the sms timestamp issue, as a result i have the perfect spl, but i tried the one click root and it worked to my surprise, so i then loaded the Amon Ra 1.6.2 donut rom and it worked flawlessly, i'm running it right now with no issues so far.

My question is should i try to change the perfected spl although i have root or should i carry on as normal
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:

Are you positive you actually flashed the recovery image into your phone and didnt just use adb to boot into ra recovery image ?

Yes i'm sure, i made an error, the recovery did not go back to stock. i was getting my timing wrong on the button pressing. i still have the latest amon ra recovery image which is 1.5.2 i think.

Its a PVT 32A Ship S-On H

Hboot-1.33.0010 (SAPP50000)

Radio-3.22.20.17

Is this the perfect SPL, if so how was i able to loada custom recovery image and most importantly shoud i try to change it or leave it alone.
