Call me old and grumpy but I like the fact some dev's DON'T add all the excess apk's like Facebook, Myspace, Twitdroid to name but a few to their roms.

I like to be able to 'Choose' what I have installed on my phone, half the stuff I don't even use and having it forced onto my system annoy's me slightly. If I wanted it I would get it for myself as it's not exactly hard work, whereas removing them sometimes can be. This actually stops me bothering with alot of rom's out because I don't want what I find to be useless programs cluttering up my system.

Thats why I chose the rom I have in my sig.

Don't get me wrong I adore the people that put the work into these Rom's and their dedication to helping us when we bugger it all up :D without them the G1 wouldn't be a quarter of the phone they have helped make it today.

Just wanted to have my little rant in the hope that in the future we will see more 'clean' rom's which I think will end up with less hassle for the dev's themselves meaning they have more time to play nicely with whatever and also clean the forums up a little.

:eek: The Old Grumpy Bugger! :eek:
[G1 General] BTaylor927:
So you like minimalist roms?

Have to say I agree :) Roms with too much stuffed into them get a bit annoying for me.
[G1 General] shadowch31:
Pretty much yes.

I don't mind things like the mods to make the phone run faster and better or things like Wysies Contact.apk they just make things look a whole lot nicer and make for a much more enjoyable experience using your phone.

Just things like those mentioned above, they are not something I use or ever will.
[G1 General] kusotare:
and this is exactly why I like cyanogen's work. he doesnt force things on you other than tools which improve upon the core (read:required) parts of the phone.

Hi,

I really struggling with the goldcard process.

I think the image file(s) I'm getting from QMAT are not correct.

I've tried the process twice with two different SD cards.

The SD cards are not recoqised once I add the image to the SD car.

Can somone check the attached files. The text file is the serial numbers for the two cards, and the zip file contains the image files I received.

You'll notice in a hexeditor that the image files contain lots of zeros in the first few blocks where I expected there to be data

Could a few people upload a working goldcard.img files so I can check the hex against mine?

I made some further progress by only transfering some of the hex over (the later part) to the SD card- at least this allowed the bootloader to recoqnise the SD card and try to load the nbh file.

HELP!

I'm using sandisk 2 gig cards. It fails with both of them.

Can someone post a working goldcard.img here??

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BenPope:
The one I was sent has a lot of 0s at the beginning and breaks the filesystem, but it didn't stop me from flashing the 1.61 update (via USB), and I'm pretty sure my device is vendor-locked. I'm not 100% sure it helped me either, but I'm not flashing again to test until something interesting comes out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] philtrick123:
Once you've loaded the goldcard.img (which breaks the file system).

What exactly do you do to download the latest firmware.

When I activesync with the PC, and try and run the RUU_Leo....exe file it fails during install.

Can anyone explain how a goldcard actually works. What's on the goldcard that makes the phone take ROMS not meant for the device?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BenPope:
Get in the bootloader on the phone with it plugged in via USB and just run the RUU from the PC. Simples.

In what way does it fail?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] philtrick123:
When I get to the bootloader and try to run the RUU I eventually get an ERROR 262.

I'm still stuck :confused::confused:

You need to change the initial 2 characters of the SD Card ID to '00' before requesting the goldcard.img, as explained in the tutorial.

Is there any way to remove the signature line 'Sent from my HTC' from emails I send from the HD2? I can't seem to find one.

Thanks
[HD2 General] cyclingfan74:
Simply go to START/E-Mail. Choose MENU/Options. Now there should be a button "Signatures", press it and change the text in the box.
[HD2 General] TomH01:
Choose Start-Email-Menu-Options-Signatures, you can either remove or edit it from there.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_q_1029:
Hi. So i have had a broken G1 just sitting on my dresser and was wondering if it can be repaired. Here's the thing. The reason it is not working anymore is because I dropped it on the floor of my flooded basement. Mind you, it does turn on, but the screen stays black. You do notice that the screen is on because it turns slightly gray. There have been instances where I have not touched it in months (just happened today) and it would fully work, but then after a couple of hours playing around with it the screen goes gray. So do any of you think that this can be repaired (at no cost). haha. I have a working g1 but it'd be nice to have 2! Thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
It sounds like some things got damaged inside the phone, there really isn't a free way because you'll probably need to replace some parts. But there's someone in the forum that sells them pretty cheaply (don't remember their name)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_q_1029:
I thought so. But just thought I'd ask the pros. Haha. Like I said, I already have one, so it's not that serious to try to fix it. Maybe I can sell it for cheap. At least I'll get something out of it. But thanks for your help. Really appreciate it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buennie:
I've got a similar issue, don't know if anyone can help but...Came out of work one day turned on my phone and started having issues with the widgets and a few apps on my phone (A2SD). Got home tried rebooting and recovering from a nand backup but didn't help, re flashed which didn't help, rebooted 1 more time to find that my phone would boot past 2 splash screens and then just stop at a black, backlit screen. I have it under warranty, no water damage, it was dropped aaaages ago but worked fine and this problem happened like 3 months after I dropped it so...Any ideas anyone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkrattu:
It might be the flex cable inside the G1, the same thing happened to my sisters, she dropped it and you could only see the backlight light up. By the way, the Flex cable is a Pain in the ass to replace... well at least it was for me.. Good Luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buennie:
But wouldnt that mean none of the screen would work?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonira:
after water damage

My G1 fell in the bath tub while showering my kids. I quickly took the battery out, blow dry it and let dry for a month. Now, it turns on but each time i hit any button it gives a power off option.

I have taken it apart and cleaned the keyboard with alcohol. but still same problem.

Did i forgot to clean something or i need to replace a part?

please help!!:(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephantom007:
the problem is not the phone drop into the water, the problem start when u turn the phone on after u take it out from the water, so still wet and if u turn it on u gonna damage the circuits, so what i do its let the cell phone get dry not with a dryer ok, just leave the cell phone on a place is warm enough for like a day or 2 if u can and later try to turn it on maybe u get lucky and nothing get damage just get the steam it screen :-) well thats my theory it works for me most of the time

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Asadmulla:
hi everyone,

iv got a htc touch pro,to be precise it is my first ever smartphone and i have tried to flash and add a new rom to my handset.i read all forums and threads on various sites about how to perform a successful flash and rom.installation of the rom were successful,but my phone does not load up to main screen at all!does that mean my touch pro is bricked????however,i can go to the bootloader and try a hard reset,but that doesnt work either.i have found out that my handset was already unlocked using Olinex.

Please can anyone help me out???im really really stressed out.

many thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] millab:
Ok, best thing to try is to download the official factory rom.

Start the phone and get it to the boot-loader screen.

Plug it in to your PC and wait for the word USB to show up at the bottom of the phone's screen.

Next run the factory rom installation on the PC and go through the steps. It should hopefully flash fine back to the original OS.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Asadmulla:
thanks alot,that really helped!!!!you havent a clue how stressed out i was when that happened.anyways,i could do with some more help.since i bought this phone,my net has NOT been working.it was officially branded on vodafone but it was unlocked by previous owner.i have ordered official settings from Htc and o2 themselves and still no result.anyone have any solution(s) for this problem?????

like alot of people have said to me,without net on these smartphones,the TP is nothing!so if anyone has a solution,please DO tell me about it

Many thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
I would disagree that without internet smartphones are nothing.... but that's not the point. Do you know which ROM you're using?

Are you using a stock rom? if so, from which company.

Alot of people here have their signature to show what rom/radio/phone (type) they have. it makes it easier for those who want to help to provide answers or suggestions faster and you wont have to get nagged asking the same question everytime :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
Firstly - slow down!

Not quite sure if you have a problem now or not, and if you do, if its the same as you started with.

From what you have written:

You have read some stuff

You have flashed some stuff

it hasnt worked as you expected

you asked for help on here

you may have flashed some more stuff

you may or may not have a problem still.

No offence, but its pretty tricky to offer much in the way of useful assistance when we dont know what state the phone is in.

Dont panic - enter the bootloader. Note what it says (SPL)

Reset, note the rom & radio versions.

See what works & what doesnt.

Read the forum rules - especially about starting new posts and how to name them (seriously urgent help needed isnt very descriptive). Use the search function to see if your problem has been answered (lots of connectivity issues will have been). If you still are having problems, reply to this post, or make a new one if more appropriate, saying clearly what you have (including rom & radio as appropriate) and what you are stuck with.

Oh, welcome to the forums.

I just bought better cut because I wanted to change my icons. Is there any way to change the icons that are displayed in the drag out tray and not just icons displayed on the home screen?

Edit: How come some android 2.0 icons are pixelated when I try to make them my icons. The market for example, looks great on my computer but as soon as its on the phone it looks awful. Any ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Yes, you have to change the icon png in the apk file. But if you know how to do that you wouldn't need better cut in the first place.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GBerg2119:
I dont have the SDK yet. Would that also fix the way the icons are displayed? For some reason they are ugly. Even when I downloaded the android2.0 icon pack from the market. Some of the icons in the pack are pixelated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GBerg2119:
Here are the icons that are in the icon pack from the market. Notice how some of them look awful. Like market, youtube, gmail, and others.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HTCTP2sab:
Is there ANY where I can find a way to display a small calendar of the month on the TODAY screen??

I see small analog clocks by the hundreds. But not ONE little 31 day calendar anywhere.

It would be great to have an analog clock AND the month displayed maybe with holidays highlighted,

and a click-able appointment maker when you 'touch' the day.

Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 WinMo ver. 6.1

Thank U (x) 100 for any help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Why would this be necessary when we already have the calendar tab?

Use Outlook to insert your country's public hoildays.

If you want quick access to this tab, just tap on the "Calendar" link under "Call History" on your home tab. Or you can just position the calendar tab as one of the first 5 tabs so that you can just tap on it on the slider bar.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HTCTP2sab:
I am too lazy to have to press a tab to do that.

That and I want to be able to see both the calendar

and other screen items at the same time.

:D

I COULD make a background pic that shows a 'static' month but...

gee... it's a computer... I'm not smart enough to program a cool

dynamic calendar myself though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dalavar:
RLCalendar will do what you want and is freeware.

It will display a calendar is all no holidays highlighted and no clicking on it for anything but it will show a monthly calendar.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HTCTP2sab:
Thx but I have installed both the rlCalendar CAB AND the rlToday CAB on

my touch pro 2 and I can not see either app in programs or settings

even after rebooting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dalavar:
RLCalendar will only work with the old Today screen of WM 5-6.1 it won't work for WM6.5 after installing the cab you have to go to settings>today and turn it on and configure how big or small you want it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HTCTP2sab:
Yep. I got that; WM 6.1 on this Verizon TP2.

When I open Today->Programs I see no rl-anything, rlToday or rlCalendar.

But when I open Today->Settings->System->Remove Programs, they are

displayed and listed in there:

"

rotlaus Software rlToday

" & "

rlSoft rlCalendar

" are in the 'list' of removable programs.

However when I go to Today->Settings->Personal->Today->Items and look at all the items I can turn on...

I see no items on the list that read rlToday or Today or rlCalendar or rlSoft or anything like these programs.

Just the normal items like TouchFLO 3D, Messaging, Device Lock, etc. etc.

I appreciate the help you are trying to give. I think I've finally found a device that validates

my dumb as a rock persona.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dalavar:
Hmm weird, I haven't tried it with WM 6.5 since I use SPB Mobile Shell and it has a nice calendar widget. Might give it a shot this weekend for you and see if I can get RLCalendar to work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HTCTP2sab:
Don't do. I appreciate the thought and effort. But don't just for me please.

I have loaded a number of 'today' add-ins ( and uninstalled them ) when

they screw with my display res. or pixel widths or something.

Not worth it.

I downloaded the 'trial' SPB Shell program and calendar and I will play with that

thank you.

Maybe somebody else has fought this rlProgram wheel and will add feedback.

Thx again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fred43:
Hello All,

I am working on a project that involves building a new kernel module.

Has anyone built successfully a kernel module on an HTC hero?

I noticed that kernel module tools are already present on the phone, such as insmod, rmmod, etc, which are apparently necessary for the wireless kernel module.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
From my understanding it will be hard to do since we do not have the source for the CDMA Hero, but you might be able to port some of it basing off of the GSM Hero source that has been released.

Hello,

I have a question (I hope it's not to stupid) when you open a contact card, and want to check the full address the phone opens automatically google map and you can't view the full address directly on the contact card.

If you don't have internet connection at this point you just end up stuck on google map.

I was wondering if it was possible to have the address display completely on the contact card directly.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] frem:
Is my question understandable ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
Completely understandable, yes. And I too discovered this annoying thing yesterday, is there a solution?

Open the people program, find the contact you want to view the address of and click on them. You should see the start of the address, if you use the trackball to scroll to their address it will scroll after a few seconds....

Here is a new pkg from official rhodium 2.07 ROM. Vol Control version is 2011 and seems to work just fine in my WM6.5.X ROM.

Test this in different devices, and see if it works.

Download.

Most of you who use WM6.5.x builds, do not have HTC volume control. We all have native WM volume control, which kinda does not go with your beautiful Manila 2.5 or 2.1.

Here is the fix for it.

This package is from Leo 2.01, and it works!! Install the attached cab, and reset. Now you have HTC volume control instead of WM.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MCbrian:
Have you tried VolumeKeys, and do you think this is better?

Just wondering...before I try this.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
worked for me on NRGs 2.5
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
This volume control is dependent on sharedmodule i think. I am not sure if your ROM has that or not. I will try to see if I can make a cab for that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gorgeousyousuf:
i couldn't get it working and eventhough it says it is installed successfully , i can't see the shortcut int the programs and even folder in program files.Kind of strange but i don't know why.I use Sergio76's newest release(cell evo v1)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kwill:
You wont see a shortcut as this just covers up the ugly winmo vol controls. Hit your vol keys on the side and you should now have the htc vol control.

Thanks for the fix too ai6908!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
You are probably missing this!

For those for whom the attached cab in first post doesnt work, try installing the attached cab and reset. See if that fixes it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
I dont use AEbuttons, probably Hard Reset is your only fix. Sorry...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kwill:
I just tried it on NRGZ 28014 2.5 rom and it doesnt show up for me. I even tried re-enabling the htc vol control and still just get the standard winmo interface. Did you do anything to get it working?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
Check to see if NRG has sharedresource in the ROM. If it does, then install the cab from the previous post. In order for the volume control to work, sharedresouce is a must.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kennyl:
It works on my Sprint TP2, running EnergyROM_28014_RHOD500_17.Dec.2009_StandardM2.5_MaxManila. Only problem is it replaces any custom taskbar volume icon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
Yup it sure does. If you install another custom icon on top this package. It will break volume control.

Does this work on the Blackstone? Ive tried installing both cabs and this hasnt worked for me yet.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
I dont know! I am guessing it will....but I dont have a blackstone to check.

Cuz this Leo dll is what fixes it. If you replace it with custom, then it wont work. You can try editing the dll icon.

Hello again :P I tried to edit the dll file HTCVolume.dll with PE Explorer. From my original I exported the Icons, which were 32 bit. When I try to replace the Icons in your DLL, it says its impossible todo so, because they are 1 bit. Is there any way around this? I dont have lots of experience with PE Explorer, I just started with this and came this far :P

Any help would be very appreciated, when I got it fixed I will offcourse upload it to XDA.

Thanks in advance!

If you upload your old volume.dll with icons i will update it for you
