Hi, let me try to answer based on my exprerience:

1. Once you have installed Olinex HardSPL1.83 (which is simply NECESSARY), you'll be able to flash ANY ROM of ANY country, cooked or official. Just remember to re-lock the phone (see HardSPL thread) and put an official ROM back if you ever need to send the device back for assistance covered by warranty.

2. Generally, some really useless apps are removed in order to get more free memory but they still are available around , if someone really misses them.

3. Cooked ROMs main advantage is that they have updated apps,less bugs and, as you said, more speed and stability. Cooks generally tend to leave a maximum space available so that single users decide how to use it, but I guess it's also for copyright reasons that no extra apps are added. There are exceptions..for example my ROM contains a very cool app (ported from another HTC device) that allows my phone to act like a WiFi Acces Point, which wasn't there in the official build..Anyway when a ROM is published, cooks always make a list of what was removed,added or updated.

4. Only ROMs listed in their relative phone threads will work. If you own a Touch Diamond 2 (aka Topaz), Topaz forum is the place where you will find working ROMs for it.

Ciao!

hey guys!

ik got a htc diamond and i want to install the new windows 6.5 on it. There are many versions of windows 6.5 i see in the rom development thread.

my question is, which one do you think is best?

thank you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
shhhh :eek: you get shouted at if you ask that question because everyone ends up fighting :rolleyes: lol

The best i can suggest is read the description for each rom, each cook offers you diffrent things, most of us flash atleast 2 or 3 diff roms a week so try some you will soon find one you like :)

Get a flex cable replacement. Thats it. Dismantle the body as well as the screen part. In between, there's a flat flexible cable connecting the upper part to the lower. Should be available through a better repair centre (like mine, but i hate receiving spam as well as sending. PM me for price.)

Hi all,

My handcent app in my HTC Hero suddenly stopped display my contact picture.

I now only see the blue unknown picture.

Anyone know how to get my contact picture back?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] atan.ismail:
Uninstall and reinstall Handcent.

It might help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] seanyowl:
Sometimes this is caused by a Handcent update, go to your contact card delete your picture, then redo your picture, re-open Handcent it should update all your messages that you have sent to the current contact picture. The same goes for any other contact picture.

this is the

third

thread you are opening about this topic. do you really think that is going somewhere? if someone knew what to do he would have told you already, don't you think?

if you can not boot your phone to anything (recovery, fastboot, hboot...) then it is BRICKED. face the facts, you made a mistake and destroyed your phone. now go buy a new one, or send the old one to htc,

but stop spamming the forum with the same request!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kien:
I have NetCounter to monitor my bandwidth usage but is there an app that monitors which program is accessing the net? My Hero seems to be accessing the net for no reason at all so I'm a bit intrigued which apps are transferring data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
I don't know of any monitoring apps but you get Droidwall which can block access to any app or process.

There's probably something on the market that does what you're after though, try searching on Adrolib.com
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Sergy330:

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
droidwall is just plain awesome. keep in mind that you need a rooted rom and some kernel config tweaking for it to work, modaco provides these features for example.

[HD2 General] Filipek88:
Hii guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to switch the possition of the shortcuts, or do you have to remove everything and add them back again?? I couldn't find it so quickly in any other thread.

Thanks in advance

The Solution is to be found in post 6 + instructions!! Thanks to Som03ne!!!

==================================================

Here is a small app to re-order the Sense shortcuts.

Its GUI is very simple using existing controls/components, since I did not have too much time to put in it - resulting not much gui control modifications, meaning - Up - means up in the list -> down in the display.

Or to put it short - Clicking UP moves the element down, and clicking DOWN moves the element up.

On exit - you can select either to apply the changes, or drop the changes.

For changes to take effect - you should Power Off and Power On the device

(Or any other way to cause Sense to Exit and Re-Load)

I tried it on my device and it works.

Any comments - post in this thread, and Id check for them every now and then.

===================================================
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
There is . . . but

You can do it with registry editor

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila

There are keys marked with 0..9 (or 0..n)

each item is a shortcut on the home page.

Just change the numbers to the order you like.

If you want the 3rd element to be the first -

You should do the following:

rename "0" to "XXX"

rename "2" to "0"

rename "XXX" from the previous step to "2"

Enjoy.
[HD2 General] Filipek88:
OK thank you for the fast response, but is there no easier/faster way for this??

if not: then I'll do it with this
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
I have not found any

Maybe there is, but I tried to look for something easier,

and did not find anything.

(I believe it is possible to write a small app to do it,

but I dont know when I'd have the time to do it)
[HD2 General] Filipek88:
OK, well if you ever make something like that, send me a PM and I will post a link to your topic where you'll post the application, in my first post, so people who will search for this answer and come in this topic will find it.

[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
This worked! Thanks. You just need to produce a Sense UI version. THis is especially useful if you have 16 links instead of the standard 9.

Wouldnt it be nice if you could reorder apps like on the iPhone? Not functionally necessary, but nice to look at nonetheless :)

Thanks again.

I have a problem with my HD2.

When trying to use internet, connection is very unstable. Lets say in every 10 minutes, 6 is working great and another 4 there is no internet whatsoever.

Also I noticed that calls are interrupted, sometimes during a call it disconects me few times and also sometimes I need to try to make a call few times as it looks like there was no signal(?).

My old tytnII never had such a problems at the same place (same sim, same network - t-mobile.uk).

Any help would be very appreciated.

ps1. Im using the new 1.61 (Turkish) rom at the moment and the problem still exists.

ps2. Its a bit better when I switch off HSDPA connection.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Ajaba:
When my Harrier (wm2003se) records video in its standard mp4 format, playback on the pc is greeted with a "samr" codec not found error, prohibiting sound. (This was just a bad marketing ploy that never took off.)

Renaming the extension to 3gp solves the error.

So I ask, is there anyway to record/save in the 3gp extension instead? Like a registry hack?

*I am not trying to record video in the 3gp format, I only want to save the result in .3gp instead of .mp4
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
ok, several things here:

1. if your pc is not able to playback those mp4 files, try vlc media player. it'll work, since it is not dependant on installed codecs but comes with a propreatary decoder, that works with nearly any media file extension. because you should really record in mp4 as it has much higher quality and resolution than 3gp.

2. changing the file extension hardly seems like a proper way to deal with a problem like that, it does not convert the file content, i cannot imagine, why that would work, except for a really strange media player, i mean, if i create a word document with word 2010 and it has the extension .docx, removing the x at the end does not make it readable with word 2003, instead of renaming it, you should rather encode it to another format.

3. i don't know about possible camera-related differences between the blueangel and the harrier, but if i wanted my blueangel to record in 3gp format, i'd go to camera (of course, why would i open the calculator here ;) ), click "tools", "options", "modes", choose "video" in the first dropdown menu and in the 2nd one, named encoder, i would change from MPEG4 to H.263, which is 3gp

if it is absolutely necessary for you to work with 3gp, i hope the 3rd point works for you, but i think you would be better off, using mp4. if, however, it does not work for you, please make sure to post back, i would really like to know, whether the harrier is so much different.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] car8car:
Hello!

I have HTC Rhodium which i bought on eBay from USA (i'm from Europe).

I'm using GSM network, not CMDA, but the phone is CMDA-GSM version.

Now the problem:

I downloaded a Hard SPL for this version (RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3) but i cannot get it to work. I plug in usb in my phone and pc, WMDC connect, and then i start Hard SPL, i see the first page, but then my phone shuts down.

And i cannot power it back on until i take out the battery. Then it works normal again.

I really want to upgrade to WM 6.5 and i have been reading this forum for 2 hours straight and can't seem to find an answer to my problem.

Does anybody know what to do?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] steviewevie:
You're in the wrong forum, this is the one for GSM ROMs. Your phone is a CDMA worldphone, so you need to use the CDMA ROMs and HardSPL, and there is a sticky thread on the CDMA forum where you might find some help.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] car8car:
Thanks for the reply.

I found Hard SPL for CDMA worldphone but it says that it's not compatible with CDMA-GSM version. I guess there are 3 version out there, GSM, CDMA and CDMA-GSM.

As i said before i downloaded Hard SPL for CDMA version, read above...

I tried a Hard SPL version for GSM version and it works, the phone doesn't shut down, but on the screen shows message that it's not for this version and it could brick the phone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] steviewevie:
The HardSPL sticky in the Rhodium CDMA forum says :

I don't know much about CDMA phones, but that sounds like your one ? In any case, the folks in that CDMA forum are probably best placed to help you compared to those in this GSM one.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] car8car:
I just found out what was wrong. My ignorance :) the phone should do exactly what it did. It supposed to shut down when you start a hardSPL, but when you install new ROM, the phone should be powered on. I just got my HTC like three days ago, so sorry for my not-knowing. Everyday you learn something new.

Now i got WM6.5 ROM on my HTC :D :D :D

Thanks for the help steviewevie anyway.

Couple of Questions

This is very good news but I have some questions:

- How are the XDA servers bearing up under the weight of all these members? Getting error 502-bad gateway is a routine occurrence when I log on at night in Europe (daytime in the US) and find all our American cousins logged on, hogging our servers. How dare they (lol) :)

- Given that this site is probably singularly responsible for a whole load of people sticking with the HTC brand, has anyone from XDA actually approached HTC for financial support and/or technical collaboration? We seem to be solving all their problems for them and keeping them in business without so much as a Corporate thank you in sight :)

- Moderation, with this number of members, must be an absolute nightmare. How does one nominate oneself to carry on this good work (hint hint)?

WB
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
1 & 2: the 502 errors are software errors, the only system level workaround is to build an entire resilient failover system, and this will be more that just new hardware ;).

We (well the admins) are still working on the software issues that are causing the problems.

As for moderators, we are 60 strong, but not all active at once, some of the others have real lives to live.

[Tweak]Home Screen Weather Animation On/Off

Hi All

hope this wasn't already posted but i have found way to switch off weather animation and keep your static wallpaper.

if you go to

HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila

and change "HomeWallpaperMode" from "0" to "2" you will end up having your static wallpaper but without weather animation.

0 - Weather Animation ON

1 - Animated Wallpaper

2 - Static Wallpaper and Weather Animation OFF

EDIT:

This will work until you change your wallpaper.once you do that,weather animation is back.i'll try to find solution for that.

Edit #2

I feel so dumb now.if you don't want weather animation just select animation wallpaper and choose one of your static ones.and that is it! :-)
