Okay The error I was having with ADB cleared itself up when I rebooted my vogue and reloaded android again.. Who knows. It now works.

I am having another issue now though.

I have done a bunch of tweaks and theming to my vogue Donut rom. I wanted to bring down the system from my device and make it distributable.

Here are the steps I followed, please correct me if I am wrong here:

I made a working directory where the /system from my vogue will be copied down to locally:

mkdir system-temp
cd system-temp
adb pull /system .

Than I made an ext2 image out of it. I used a larger file size even though it's donut as the ext2 image is greater than 80mb:

genext2fs -d ./system -b 160000 -a system.ext2

A system.ext2 file is created that's 156mb

I than turn the ext2 image into sqsh file. First I mounted it:

mkdir tmp/system-ext2-mnt
mount -o loop system.ext2 tmp/system-ext2-mnt

Then I made a squashfs image of the mounted directory

mksquashfs tmp/system-ext2-mnt/ system.sqsh

I copied the system.sqsh to my sd card like I do with every other rom and loaded haret and it proceeded to boot. Unfortunately it fails to load. It says it failed to mount /system. Here is my bootlog.txt below:

Again, any help would be appreciated. I really want to share this rom.

im about 120% certian you used squashfs-tools 4.0 to create that system. which will

NOT

work with our kernel, so go open synaptic(ubuntu) and uninstall squashfs-tools then download this http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/squashfs-tools/download assuming you have 32 bit or this if you are running 64 bit http://packages.debian.org/lenny/amd64/squashfs-tools/download
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
did you check the permissions of the sqsh file?

as well did you put it on the root of your sd card? or in the /android folder?
[Touch CDMA General] detour522:
Thank you for this tutorial. Since this is a tutorial thread... can I ask what each one of the files do? I understand what steps I have to take but its difficult to ask for help when something goes wrong without having a basic understanding of what these files are for. It also makes it extremely difficult to follow conversations on other threads because a lot of people expect you to have this base knowledge...

Anyway, that was a very long winded way of saying... can I please get a basic description of the files involved? What they do? What they are for?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] myn:
I just took the sqsh file and copied it to my /android folder and loaded haret. Is there something I need todo on the permissions?

I also just tried renaming the generated system.ext2 to system.img and also placed it into the /android dir and attempted to load it. I get the same error trying to mount /system on load.

I just checked my version of squashfs-tools. It is indeed 4.01. So I am going to uninstall and install 3.x.
[Touch CDMA General] myn:
Okie dokie. All is good now.

Installed Squashfs 3.x from the links above and now my system.sqsh works :)

Thanks everyone for your help.

I should be posting my rom soon :).

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Paolo01:
Seemingly ridiculous question that should have an easy answer, but with Windows, may not.

How do I enable my Fuze to access and display more than one MSN or Hotmail type account? Currently after flashing with a new ROM, I go to mail and then set up my .msn account. But after that one account, when I try and set up my .hotmail account, the WLM configuration tool forces me to access the hotmail account online.

I just one two mailboxes I can toggle between as I can if my other account were a yahoo account or anything else. Microsoft seems to be deliberately limiting you to only ONE of their accounts via mobile access.

[General Questions and Answers] N'Rique:
What and how can i activate the functions Phone, once when i click the connect option it seems correct, then i proceed to other areas of use, and when i try to input a number to make a phone call, a msg comes and informs: "Phone disabled"; I return to the definitions tab and verify that the phone is in fact 'disabled'. And if i enable it and return to the Today environment, i realize that the phone option is again "disabled".

Is it something like a Windows PC 'prefetch' condition?

How can i modify this nuisance? In the registry perhaps, but where exactly?

Would appreciate any objective help.

[HD2 General] JJKameR:
I have used core player flawlessy with 1.43 rom. I have tried various hi-res/hi-bitrate videos and it worked amazingly great.

Then I have upgraded to 1.48.

Now the same videos run really choppy.

I wonder what was changed...

On wmp videos still play good... but unfortunately it doesn't read divx/xvid s.

Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Are you sure you use the same settings ? For me 'Raw frame buffer' seems to be the fastest.
[HD2 General] cyclingfan74:
Actually since I got 1.48 TCPMP doesn't run anymore. It crashes and tells me to send crash.txt to the developers, but I can't find crash.txt. Strange.
[HD2 General] JJKameR:
Yes... same settings.

Anyway it seems related to the audio not the video.

Playing videos with no audio results in perfect playback.

I haven't changed anything. I wonder why this happends. :(
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Hi,

I've experienced similar, although since I've today re-re-set my device today and installed from scratch etc (and with a now pucka purchased copy of Coreplayer v1.3.6) it seems to be ok.

Nothing scientific here: tried it on 1.43 and it seemed to be ok, pretty sure zero dropped frames (though could be wrong).. tried it on 1.48 and exactly the same xvids unwatchable.. now re-done it and again the same xvids = seem fine, stats show a few frames dropping but all in all it's perfectly watchable to the human eye.

Not sure if this helps you at all - perhaps you might get better response in one of the two other Coreplayer threads on here running? Just an idea - good luck!
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Man, i got this same problem. I've tried everything with coreplayer, all different settings, plane mode. Still drops on playing films.

I even convereted to mp4 and it still drops. I know it's coreplayer problem because the htc player and windows media play the mp4's fine.

The only video i've seen it play without drops is a low quality 3gp file.

I even tried different versions of core player but still the same results. I'm on rom 1.48 so maybe this is the problem, but i doubt it. I'm updating to 1.66 soon so we will see......

[HD2 General] Biglia05:
I totally agree with one thing in your post: MS should create a totally new mobile OS from scratch if they want to catch up with the competition. That's the reason why Android, WebOS and the iPhone have so much success, they're all new OS'es, created by new standards instead of the 2000 standards WM has.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
Seriously though, How much did Apple pay you to write all this?

You make the HD2 sound like total crap.
[HD2 General] the-uki:
ok, credit given to you, I revised some of my text. Note also my last comment - the HD2 is A LOT better than any other WM65 smart phone.

That said, did you ever use an iPhone? Do you disagree with any point that I raised in my summary? I have both, and will be happy to discuss further. My comments are focused on usability and usefulness, which I believe are the two most important criteria to consider.
[HD2 General] greatcapp:
I'd agree with most of what you've written. I also own both the iPhone (3GS) and, now, the HD2.

Loving the screen size on the HD2, but comparing it to the iPhone in almost EVERY other respect, it falls short.

I'm persevering with the HD2 though, as I wanted a change from the iPhone for a while.

But deep down, I'm 99% certain I'll be selling the HD2 long before I think about leaving the iPhone.

The iPhone is so easy to use. The keyboard is a million miles ahead of any other virtual keyboard. The media interface is better than any other I've seen. Battery life is better on my iPhone than on my HD2 (although the HD2 is better than it was). Apps availability is a big plus, even though so many are pointless. I've never liked anything Apple before, but the iPhone is still the phone to beat.

If it wasn't, the media wouldn't still be searching for the "iPhone killer" would they?

I do like my HD2, but realistically, it's not even close to matching my iPhone for everything that I want from a handset.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
I never used an iphone, and I don't intend too.

But reading you 90% of your post, you seem totally biased
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Really cheap flamewar bait .. :D
[HD2 General] hawrai68:
I believe the competition have caught up with Iphone, and for me personally, the only thing that is awesome with iphone is itunes store.

I prefer my HD2 to my old Iphone 3GS any day...not sure what i will say when they bring a new one out though! ;)
[HD2 General] LondonTownGuy:
Well I had to purchase my HD2 because orange don't yet stock it in the UK but they offered me the Iphone so I borrowed my sisters 3GS for a while and decided against it I think it boils down to what you are used to I already have lots of WM apps which work well there are lots to chose from on WM. You already mention GPS The HD2 is awsome with this a major reason I bought it.

I found the screen much more responsive on the HD2 than on the Iphone where you have to tap things twice sometimes to get them going.

I actually would have prefered the HD2 to be the Iphones size, but there is not that much difference and when you get used to the size other screens seem tiny in comparison.

I found the Iphone interface very boring to use there is no homescreen as such just a grid of apps, there is much more info on the Windows mobile homescreen.Both on Titanium and HTC sense.

I dont know what you mean by dropping the phone both can be dropped.

The camera is better on the HD2 and it has a flash (even taking into account the pink blob)

Another plus was XDA developers and the choice of what you can do with your phone regards cooking different roms. You are basically stuck with the Iphone as is,I probably would have got bored with it very quickly.

I would agree the Iphone is a very good phone especially good for gamers and music fans, etc and has a very slick flowing interface, I would consider the HD2 as a good alternative with a lot of potential for further improvements.
[HD2 General] steve7702:
I was tempted by the darkside and I hate it. 3GS going on ebay and im returning to WM, with the HD2 cap in hand.
[HD2 General] zoomee:
I sold my iphone 3GS to fund my Hd2 purchase - no guesses about what position I have on this post - which btw is like the millionth one here in Leo section. Don't miss it one single bit and love my HD2 to bits - everyone has they're personal view....

ITunes and the usual apple - "you will do it this way or else" attitude to the OS are the only things I'm going to say. Stick to the general consumer products fella ;)
[HD2 General] altec1000:
You now comparing old Iphone hardware with old Windows Mobile. Boh will be updated in the next 6 months. In my opinion the batlle then really begins.
[HD2 General] band27:
WM 6.5 was never meant to be earth shattering but a stepping stone to WM 7. I believe this is MS last chance of redemption as they have lost ground for over a decade. Standing by for the real difference of WM7 ! IT's COMING !! Good luck MS! However from a hardware perspective, HD2 Kicks Ass !!
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
granted for a long time the ifun was tied into an exclusive deal with o2 but that never,imho,excused the exorbitant tarifs that were charged for it then or since and as such I'm proud to say I've given it a wide berth (appart from prodding someone else's just to see what all the fuss was about) and at the end of the day the question you have to ask yourself is: "did you ever see anyone drooling over an iphone?" the first purchase I'll make for a HD2 when I get mine is a wetsuit for it!

:)
[HD2 General] Bluecharge:
Hi the-uki,

I see many of your points, but please tell me:

Why are you looking for WM-Apps only in this crappy shop??? Why are you not a bit more autonomous to find the thousands and thousands WM-Apps in the www by yourself, without the helping of an app-store? I think we are all old enough to help ourselves, so this is not a negative aspect you know :)

Greets,

Bluecharge
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
LOL - I read these threads with interest..

I've never owned an iPhone of any kind, probably one of the very few tech gadgets out that I didn't convince myself I needed in my life. Have always been a Nokia phone man and Windows Mobile PDA man, then as of the last few years have been just about coping with a single device running WM6.1 (Diamond) and now 6.5 with the HD2.

I think WM comes up short in many areas, and I'm comparing it to just a normal bog standard Nokia phone here!, but getting there. I can still txt quicker on any basic Nokia; that said at least I can actually txt on a WM phone now!

Anyways, I have two longstanding Vodafone contracts, yet I always seem to buy offline (providers never seem to have what I want). Being slightly more cost conscious at the moment (ish!) I was pleased to be able to get my HD2 on Vodafone. I now have my other contract which is due an upgrade (has been for something like 4 yrs lol) and I'm tempted to get an iPhone just for the hell of it (like the idea of getting a subsidised handsets for a change after all these years!) and give it a go. Have I really been missing out on greatness??! Who knows.. I almost want to not like it (:)) however equally I might well be won over.

Doubt anyone actually cares. But I'll probably let you know non-the-less! :D
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
I have to say people do go on don't they. All this talk of iPhone this HD2 that - surely it all comes down to a myriad of personal preferences.

As far as I am concerned I have owned many, many phones right back to the Motorla MicroTAC, and to be fair we have come a bloody long way since then. All the latest phones are pretty spectacular in one way or another. I just don't get all the whinging,whining and comparing that goes on. I fancied an iPhone as I just felt it was something I needed to own at some point. I intrinsically have nothing against the iPhone - the problem is that the tariffs they are offered on are just not competitive compared to other phone contracts. This is surely a big deciding factor for a lot of people.

To this end we all make our personal choices based on many differing factors, it really serves no purpose arguing over which phone is best.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Here here, what this man said!

I do think the OP intended to write a genuine head-to-head, however I think then seemed to get too involved in the fact that his own personal opinion is with the iPhone and therefore nullified any real level comparative value.

Each to their own and all that..
[HD2 General] pocketdoc:
I live in USA and switched to the iPhone 2 years ago. I had used WM for many years until I switched. I was reluctant, but am now quite used to the device.

When the HD2 surfaced, I was being pulled back to WM, as I HAD to try it out.

SO, as an iPhone user trying to go back to WM, it is hard. I must agree with the OP that the fruit phone is much easier to use, especially with the App Store and iTunes.

I understand that XDA-Dev is WM-centered and I have been a big fan of this site and come for WM info. I used to cook ROMs quite a bit. You can't do that with the iPhone.

I will say that the HD2 is a beautiful phone. The screen is amazing. Having not used WM for a couple years, it has come a long way, thanks in large part to HTC. If I had 3G here on the HD2, I might be more aggressive trying it out. I think I will get a VZ Mifi and try it out more.

So, don't bash! I love both phones, but being an iPhone user, I am spoiled.
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
My thoughts? Simple. You should have gotten an iPhone 3GS instead of a HD2 as you're clearly more suited to that platform. I also agree with what has been said, you're clearly biased towards Apple's device so there was no real comparison in your post.
[HD2 General] weenween:
The first thing to be an iPhone user is to throw your logical thinking out of the window. iPhone was sexy once upon a time. No longer is it so now. The cool factor is long gone.

Thousand of apps? How many does one really need? Way less than 60.

iPhone users cannot complaint about anything because it will make them look stupid. Also, Apple will not do it for them. They will have to "download" the next version if not buy them. Winmo users complain about everything because we can get it solved in xda-developers, and for free.
[HD2 General] enyaj:
I think iphone only beats WinMo on the Marketing side. Once you get to use the actual device(HD2 vs iphone), you can do almost anything on the HD2. Freedom is priceless :)
[HD2 General] patora4ever:
help decide please .

I have been searching a lot about both devices...

Cant find true answers from internet...

1) some says.. GPS on HD2 is much better than Iphone.. others who have both ... says that hd2 loses gps connections more often..

2) One other thing that makes me worried abt hd2 , is its screen freezing and dead issues.. as described in this forums.. iphone .. rarely have such issues..

3) the other thing i wana ask is Camera quality.. ( not resolution) some states that Iphone camera quality is better..

4) screen accuracy: .. some websites concludes that I phone screen accuracy is better than those on HTC's

please if any one knws info regarding these issues.. please help me to decide.
[HD2 General] gregormax:
The GPS on HD2 works much better than on iPhone. Generally the iPhone is not a good GPS device. I'm really curious where you read that HD2 loses gps connection. Never had such problem.

Never had such issue. However sometimes I had to reset my phone (but not soft reset - just turn off and then on to clear the memory when the phone was slowing down) but it's quite normal for WM phones and it never affected stability or smth so I don't see it as a big problem.

The camera on HD2 is much better. And it has two leds. You can record movies in 640x480 resolution and 30fps... I think here the winner is obvious ;). The quality of pictures is decent - could be better but it's imo better than on iPhone. Anyway future updates may improve the quality even more.

What kind of accuracy? On my device the screen works as good as on my iPod Touch 3G - I don't see any difference. Well maybe in matter of resolution this is why I prefer browsing websites on my HD2.

If you buy an HD2 just make sure that you know all advantages and disadvantages of WM.
[HD2 General] enyaj:
With your post and where your posting, I think you should expect

some rebuttal. Just read through this post and you will get the answers you want. We would have gotten an iphone if we thought it was better than our HD2
[HD2 General] Jim Coleman:
The sort of questions you really should be asking about iPhone are;

1) Do I want to only be able to use one third party app at a time?

2) Do I want all my purchased apps to be only usable on phones manufactured by one company?

3) Do I want those apps to be controlled by that one company such that they determine what apps I can purchase, and can even remove the app from my phone whenever they want?

4) Do I want a home screen that consists entirely of app icons and no usable info, and which cannot be changed for something better?

5) Do I want to be restricted in what data I can synch with my PC?

6) Do I want to be unable to plug my phone into any kind of computer or media device and transfer files to and from them?

7) Do I want to be permanently tied into iTunes and be at the mercy of its DRM system?

8) Do I want hardware that is perpetually out of date, spec-wise?

9) Do I want an operating system that cannot be modified to my tastes?

10) Do I want this one company to make decisions for me, like whether I can use Flash or not, or whether I should multitask?

If the answer to all these questions is YES, then the iPhone is your best bet. Otherwise, probably not.
[HD2 General] waxfresh:
:D good aspects!
[HD2 General] chongbh:
Yes, good one! My answer is definitely NO, NO, NO!
[HD2 General] mallman:
all joking aside, very nice post here. Saving this off for the countless iphone conversations i seem to have. let me add a few if you dont mind

11) Do I want to be tied to 1 battery that will need me to pay service fees if i ever want to change it?

12) Do I want to be denied the ability to use interchangeable memory cards?

13) Do I want a slower browsing experience? (skyfire vs. Safari, see pocketnow.com comparison)
