Voda got some in today (no idea how many though) - got my despatch notice (yay!). I did an online order on the 16th, so I suspect whatever comes in between now and the 12th will be used to clear their massive backlog.
[HD2 General] donbronzi:
Funny enough i just got my order confirmation a minute ago as well!! They say business customers get priority.
[HD2 General] Dharms:
T-Mobile let me do a pre order and sent it out once they had it in stock (which was the next day).

Saves you calling them all the time.

Very glad T-Mobile havent messed around too much.
[HD2 General] srw985:
mobiles have it in stock now

http://www.mobiles.co.uk/htc-touch-hd2.html
[HD2 General] stabloid:
Vodafone sent my despatch notification earlier too.

This was after telling me that I would have to wait till the 12th.

I think the threat of staying with O2 gave them a kick up the ar*e. :D
[HD2 General] Jack E:
Does anybody know when the next T-Mobile stock is in, I ordered yesterday and need the phone for the 17th because I am going to New York :confused:
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
The stock situation may be slightly planned. As this is such a new phone, with new sofware (OS and the HTC own touchFlo) they probably wanted to release it to a small market to reduce the number of people affected with minor bugs, as not all bugs can be found in testing (trust me as i'm a developer).

I can pretty much grauntee that when they release the hotfixes for the initial issues (and install then on the roms on existing stock) then there will not longer be an issue.

How long that will be is another question, I would prob suggest as its been out now for 2 weeks then it will be at least another 2-4 weeks prior to being able to get the fixes in, and passed testing again.
[HD2 General] Jack E:
I recieved an email from T-Mobile today saying that they have shipped it so i presume they have stock now :)
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
o2 are telling me they have a "reasonably firm" expectation of it hitting their shelves on the 7th of December;)
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
me too had email yesterday from tmobile saying its on its way, should be with me within 2 days yaaaaaaaaaay!!.... possibly 1 more sleep LOL:D:D:D
[HD2 General] Jack E:
Mine arrived today, was sent by Royal Mail next day delivery :)
[HD2 General] donbronzi:
Great news mate, nice isn't it!!

What sort of price plans are tmobile offering?

I'm on voda and think i got a pretty good deal. However it is on an 18mth contract (prefer 12!!)

900mins

Unlimited Text

Unlimited Data

Unlimited Land line calls

£35 incl VAT 18mnth contract.

Took some husseling though.
[HD2 General] arfster:
I got it on t-mob from mobilephonesdirect (although it's stock, with the case and unlocked). £103 up front, £30 cashback via topcashback, 12 month contract, £34/month including internet.

18monthers are cheaper per month, but the resale price tends to nosedive after a year or so.
[G1 General] pcm2a:
Is there a good way to get the current version of Cyanogen up and running on the SDK emulator? I have several people that complain about my application widget closing when they open or close the keyboard. The logs show nothing pertaining to my application and the only thing they all have in common is a stock G1 with Cyanogen 4.2.6 and no home screen manager. Many others with non-modded G1's do not have this problem.

I'd like to test it out in the emulator since I now only have a Droid :)

I found some instructions with an image file to use for this, but it was for a very old version of Cyanogen.
[G1 General] garok89:
do a nandroid backup and then copy the files from it in to the directory of a virtual device you have already created

then all shall be good
[G1 General] pcm2a:
Is there a good source to snag a existing nandroid backup of 4.2.6? I don't have a G1 or any other device to run a nandroid backup on. Too bad too cause I just shipped out my old HTC Magic a few days ago. Now all I have is my Droid.

I'll search around for one and report back if I locate one.
[G1 General] garok89:
just did a dump for you

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogen-updater/downloads/list

itl be up in a few minutes
[G1 General] goldenarmZ:
You just need to make a yaffs2 image of the /system folder from cyan's update.zip. The boot.img is already in the zip.

Search for mkfs.yaffs2.
[G1 General] pcm2a:
That nandroid backup works perfectly in my AVD 1.6 emulator. Thanks so much for building that for me. I can test all my apps against Cyan now :-)

Thanks goldenarmz too, I'll save this away for future versions. Does this work with Hero roms as well?
[G1 General] goldenarmZ:
Yes, you can run anything on the emulator like that :cool:
[G1 General] risaer:
I also found out that trick a few days ago. The only problem I have is that I do not get an Internet connection.

Does the SDK simulate wifi, 3G or is there just another fictive network device? I've got DroidWall and Y5 installed. Furthermore I've got sometimes problems to start my wifi after rebooting (problem by manual copied wpa_...cfg, I guess).

I am not really sure where to search. I will investigate the stuff in the paragraph above but perhaps you've got another few hints for me?

btw: I've got 4.2.13, but that shouldnt make a big difference, should it?
[G1 General] taguapire:
Anybody has found a fix for internet Issue for Cyanogen system.img file and Android SDK emulator?

Oscar.

Does somebody know how to change this?

I was on a call with US Cellular. Then a txt msg was delivered to my phone and the ringtone for that msg. played while I was on the call.

Tech told me i have to change the setting for on call alarm. I looked everywhere, so I think, for anything related to "on call alarm". I have had no luck.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Hi!

I wonder how to remove the grey, thin lined boxes in which the shortcuts (3x3, 4x4, 5x4) are displayed?

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to remove the shortcuts, I only want to get rid of the thin grey frame.

And the second question is, how to modify the shortcut text background at the today-screen? I mean the little, black bar below the shortcuts. Which file has to be modified to change this?

Any help appreciated.:)

regards,

Oliver
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] d190176:
by the way. is there a trick to remove them at all? with the shortcuts?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rcsavo:
Yeah, right, those grey outlines are quite ugly especially when the icon does not fit exactly into the corners of the box. So, has somebody an idea how to remove them?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] renegade:
Copy the *_manila files

from inside

the attached file to \Windows replacing the existing files. And then restart.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gareth824:
I'm getting an error with the file: 1b8f4bec_manila

It says something like cannot access or write to this file.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] renegade:
Try using Resco Explorer or Total Commander to copy the files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
How to remove the grey frame - all files inside

I finally managed to get rid of the frames and the black text background:

Just copy those 2 manila-files into your windows folder using Total Commander.

55b3bed2_manila removes the grey shortcut frames.

5a0ed80b_manila removes the text beckground.

Have fun! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mallman:
seems to be a problem with your no grey zip file. can you reupload?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
everything is fine (i tested the download right now), just use winrar.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
It didn't work for me either. It just had no effect. I'm about to try the one posted above.

Edit: Yep, the one in this post works a treat for me. Just unzip it, copy the files into the windows folder and then reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Very strange.

Try to rename to *.rar. It was a rar-file initially but this board doesn't allow *.rar-files to be attached.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
It unzipped okay. It just didn't do anything when I copied the files into the windows folder and reset. No change at all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
You could try to rename the original manila-files to *.bak, then copy the modified ones into windows folder and then deleting the original files. Use Total Commander for this. Afterwards softreset. For me it worked perfect. That means, I have the grey frames when no shortcut is set but they disappear when a shortcut is set.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
When I copied the 2 files that you supplied, I wasn't prompted about overwriting, so I have to assume (obviously) that the files didn't exist in my windows folder.

When I copied the files supplied by Renegade, it did prompt me to overwrite the files that I'd previously copied, supplied by you.

Literally, the files that you gave me made no difference. No idea why though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
There isn't a message to overwrite! You have to search the original files, rename them and delete them manually. It works 100%.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
The files did not exist on my phone until I copied them there from your zip file. That's why there was "no message to overwrite" - because it wasn't overwriting.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Ok, maybe this is because i have a german ROM. Sorry for any inconvinience.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ravarious:
hi

i overwrite the two 2 manila files ! all corrected !

but i saw still the border

sorry for my bad english ! i make a screen to show it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Do you have the new ROM? I discovered that it's no longer possible to overwrite those two files when having flashed to the new ROM. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rcsavo:
With ROM 1.43 it works just great! Thank you renegade so much!

Although with all 4 file overwritten it removes not only the grey outline from the placeholder of the icons but also the semi transparent box itself and its little plus sign as well but i like it that way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Good to hear, it worked for you. :) It seems to work with old ROM 1.43 but not with new ROM 1.48.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] utopies:
:)It works!!! (ROM 1.43 ) Thank you!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
I just discovered something new: it still works with ROM 1.48 when having Dusk Manila Evolution 2.5 theme installed! :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DAMIEN123_666:
hi i have the 1.43 WWE rom and also the 20 shortcut.cab whic addes 5x4 shortcut boxes. will the "Transparent TF3D 2.5 Home shortcuts.zip" still work with my setup?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jbh99blue:
I really want to do this to my phone. excuse the noob question but is there a 'how to' guide for doing the above. I just don't know where to place the files, presuming it means once you've opened the registry with a reg edit tool?

Do you place them on the phone and unzip or unzip first and then place the four files onto the phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jbh99blue:
Anyone? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dragon_soft:
Install the attached cab file :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
Excellent job. I dont use the shortcuts, so this makes the home screen look great with wallpaper.

Benz-Driver@: Where can i get this awesome Taskbar from you screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallman:
When pressing the start menu you obviously get a list of the shortcuts in the \windows\start menu\programs folder. However, where in the heck is the "Today" link coming from that seems to only close the start menu? I want that puppy gone :) Registry? I don't know where to even start looking there
[Windows Mobile Software Development] iggy:
Not sure how to get it gone but I think if you tap-N-hold you can send it to the bottom
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallman:
yes i think i could do that, but what fun is that hehe. i wanna hack it out of there baby!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] optiknerv:
I would like to remove it also. Completely useless when you have a home key.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Baronic:
have u tried going to /windows/startmenu looking for this icon with file explorer and choosing "read only" and "hidden" under properties?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Farmer Ted:
Try going to HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start and deleting the Today group of registry keys. Don't forget to soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallman:
didnt work
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nathanpc:
Huh, I think it's impossible, but you can try to use one of the SPB softwares to make your Today screen more like your Start Menu ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallman:
impossible is a pretty strong word :P Not going to use SPB, I don't dig it. Something is putting the icon there so I will be patient and see if anyone finds the answer
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallman:
well i did look with the "show all files" checked. not sure what else you mean
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallman:
ok found a work around :) use hcomber to change the icon to a transparent png LMAO. I know i know, not ideal but if you move it to the bottom of the start menu and make it invisible well.... out of sight out of mind. This isn't solved obviously, but its a start.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tito12:
Hi Mallman

This is my workaround: there's more icons than the home that I don't want to see, so I added a folder in the start menu and I moved all of them to this folder I called Unused.

This way I don't remove or tamper with icons that I might need later, and I have a smaller menu.

By the way I didn't test the possibility to make this folder hidden, here's another possibility if you want to explore it...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dharvey4651:
Has a fix for this ever been found or is this a dead thread?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joshkoss:
I know how to do it but my instructions are at home. it involve's opening the shellres file with reshack and overwriting the words start with blank spaces.. i'll be back tnight with those instructions for you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ai6908:
I guess we wont know if it is dead or not, until Josh releases his secret...;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zelendel:
I spoke with Josh about this and he thought it was to remove the start word from the task bar when I think he wants to remove the today icon from the start menu.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henrik.dk:
Please.

I want to remove the start word. It occupy my precious screen asset.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zelendel:
1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui

2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want. If you want it blank add 5 spaces

3. Save your modified file

4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer

· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)

· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"

· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop

· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.

5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card

6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"

7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows

8. Soft Reset
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henrik.dk:
Thank you. Man.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallman:
not a bad idea only this will not touch the today icon. its isnt a file in the start menu.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] samsara00:
Hi guys.

yesterday i tried to install cyanogene mod.

because i had an perfect spl, i used a Goldcard and flashed this -> ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010)

Everything worked fine. But then i tried to boot/flash the recovery mod but it didn't boot. I tried CM recovery and recovery-RA "G" then out of coriousity it tried the HTC version, and it worked. I thought i have to use the Google version for the 32B from Vodafone?

Anyway, then i wiped and flased HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip and then CM 4.2.5.

(i also only flased the HTC base rom without the CMod but it didnt boot either)

Then i rebooted and got stuck at the HTC MAgic screen forever. i waited like 10 minutes. i tried to make a nandriod backup -> restore but didnt worked either.

I dont know what to do =( now i'm back on original vodafone rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] incredulous:
Buddy, CyanogenMod is for 32A, Vodafone Magics are 32B, you won't be able to boot a 32A image on a 32B device. Sorry.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
CyanogenMod is originally built for 32B/Dream users. There are updates that allow it to run on 32A.

Natively your phone should be able to run Cyanogen ROM, but you've somehow flashed the 32A radio, SPL and recovery onto your phone.

You need to get back to the 32B radio and recovery.

This should point you in the right direction.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548834
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] samsara00:
huh? so why is there a tutorial on the Cyanogen Mod wiki für 32B devices?

--edit--

you mean i flashed a 32A cyanogene rom?

:confused:

when i flashed via goldcard everything was fine. i could boot into the os
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
What I'm saying is that by flashing the HTC 2.53 update you've essentially turned your phone into a 32A with less memory. It will boot, but it won't be ideal.

You'd be much better off not using a goldcard for anything and going back to the 32B radio and the G recovery image.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] samsara00:
ah okay.

but other methods didnt work for me, because of the SPL version. (wasnt able to boot recovery image from adb with this SPL [fastboot remote: not allow)])

this Relentless Rooter for Magic program didnt work on my pc
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] alexdpaul:
I have just upgraded to a stock 6.5 rom and am finding my TD2 starts crashing after around 3-4 hours of running the GPS (Igo8).

I am presumably through memory leakage because it starts at around 55% used, then whenever I check through the day I can see the usage creeping up to 80/85%. Then the phone hangs.

To my knowledge, I don't have any other apps running in the background - although there may be some services running that I am unaware of that are taking the memory down.

Are there any ways I can improve this performance?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] realaxed:
Hey all,

One thing that annoys me about the new x2 sip is that it continues to use xt9 even though I'm typing on the hardware keyboard. (If you know a setting to stop this let me know)

What I would like to do is have the application "SipSwitch" launch and change the current sip to the NullKeyboard whenever I slide out the hardware keyboard on the xperia.

Does anyone know of an app or fix that allows applications to be run whenever you slide out your keyboard?

Thanks in advanced
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] inks:
Try this

Do you also use the slide to switch between portrait/landscape modes?

If yes, use PQzII to switch SIPs.

If no, try this:

Install the registry key below (use tascal reg edit to import them). It assumes you use Keyboard and nueNullKB (if not, just change the registry entry to your null SIP).

Copy sipswitch.exe to Windows folder (this is mandatory).

Reboot.

I can't do anything about the SIP popping out when you slide in - that's due to how sipswitch works.

You can also use those registry entries to run programs. They will need to reside in the Windows folder though. These registry entries rely on windows state notifications (snapi) so there's no polling involved. Don't use the registry setttings if you switch between landsccape/portrait tho. the SIP won't be positioned properly.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] realaxed:
Thank you for this! Don't have time now, but I will try it out soon and tell you what I think. :) :D
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Im Packing:
There's a slidersound app/cab that enables sounds for the keyboard whenever it slides in/out and also can open up an app of your choice...search for it!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] realaxed:
Tried searching for this, but I'm getting a lot of stuff that's not related. If you can please post a link or give the exact name of the file or something. thanks for the suggestion though.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] realaxed:
Hey inks, thanks for your input. The registry fix didn't work, but PQZII did and was exactly what I was looking for. I doubt I ever would have found that app myself. PQZII will probably be useful for some other things too. later
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] inks:
ah the registry notifications depend on you installing nueNullKb (http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNullKB.aspx). Too lazy/hard to make a cab for it so it's not easy to set up. owell.

But yeah if you're just switching SIPs between landscape/portrait, PQzII works a treat.

@ImPacking

If you're talking about nuerom's nueSlidingKb (creates an icon called Sliding Sound in Settings) or nueKBLight, they don't work for the X1 (was designed for touch pro 1). Problem being they rely on detecting portrait -> landscape switch modes but for right sided hw keyboards.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] c0rp1:
Any application to change the slider icons? I know HDWall can do this , but it changes the theme also, so I need an application that can just change the slider icons only.

Also I know that the manila files could be changed but it will be much more easier wit just a .cab file !

Thank you in advanced !
