I bought touchdown for all my exchange needs. It is fantastic and worth the money imho
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dzr:
What resolution / color depth etc does the TV out give? Does it work properly with an AT&T Tilt 2 (I hear there are carrier restrictions).

Can it stream movies decently (SD card or online streaming, if bandwidth allows)? Where's a good place to get one?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jagjunkkie:
I've been using the tv out feature a lot on my tilt2. Works great! can watch movies using core player, play snes using morphgear, I even bought a little 7" tv for my car, and will be testing some different nav programs. sorry i don't know specs, but i would imagine its 800x680 like the phone. I used to use my laptop to play movies on the tv, and surprisingly the tilt2 does a better job. definately a worthy 12 $ investment! also, dont buy from china unless you want to wait 2 months!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] kierandill:
TV out isn't a resolution in the sense of a computer screen (pixels). It is NTSC composite video, with a 4:3 aspect ratio and 525 scan lines, some of which are used for VBI and thus not on the screen. Which is fine for images/video and such but unsuitable for web browsing or anything with lots of small details.

Given the above, if your video file is not too high res for the TP2 to play in general, it should have no trouble showing it via TV out.

As for online, I have streamed using 3G both Youtube and Slingbox, and used TV out to display it on my Pioneer AVH-4000 in my car with no problems (other than the flicker that is discussed elsewhere).

Don't know about AT&T limitations since I have Verizon. Got my cable via Amazon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dzr:
ok, so no HD... I wonder, is it NTSC/PAL selectable for travelling?

The flicker issue in regards to the phone+cable, or the Pioneer unit?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] leginag:
Mine gives me the option to choose which one when I plug in the TV out cable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dzr:
So, how does it look on a widescreen HD TV (21")? Does it stretch, or is that up to the TV?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] leginag:
I've been using it on a 42" TV to show photos and it looks fine, no lag etc and it goes portrait mode.

I got this one from boxwave. It's great because it also has an adaptor so you can charge the mobile at the same time as using TV-out, and it's only $19.

Okay, now i really want to flash my phone, and install Android.

I want to know what i can do for not brick it, and what i can do to not cause it. (Lol, bad english..)

Once your phone is Hardspl'd , you would have to make a real effort to brick it.

As far as Android goes, all Android for Kaiser is advanced alpha or beta. Again, read..read...read to find what is best for your needs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Joystick123:
So do you recomend to not chose Android, because it is just in beta?

Edit:

What can i do if i dont like Android/WM6,5? How do i find back to my original WM6,1? (With norwegian keyboard)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
reflash your old rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Armazia:
I started with the tutorial to, and it works completely. if you do it that way.. Its impossible to brick it. Once you installed Hard SPL, it shouldn't be a problem ever, + you have to follow that tutorial once, after that you can just open the exe files, and start flashing fast. Aslong as you are sure that you installed HardSPL, And NOT soft spl. If you want to install a rom, you should read the thread about it carefully. Otherwise you might not have sound, or camera wont work etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Joystick123:
Okay, but is it a way to get norwegian keyboard on WM6,5 or Android?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Armazia:
I don't know if it is compatible with Android.. I'm not that familiar with Android, I have only tried it once. But in my opinion it isn't a full usable OS
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Joystick123:
So you dont recommend Android?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Personally Android on the Kaiser is still in the early beta stages, you still can't even boot straight into Android yet,you have to boot WM or Linux and then launch Android manually, plus there are still some basic kaiser functions that are still a little iffy on the Kaiser ports.

If your are a reader and tinkerer then by all means try. But if you are expecting to get a " Hero " or a " myTouch " out of your Kaiser, it is not going to happen and you should just stick with a good 6.5 or an even better 6.1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Armazia:
Yea right. In my opinion Android is slow on a Kaiser. Because of the slow Processor. Thought it looks nice.. But not fully usable for personally use.
[G1 General] artismyrevolt:
alright, this is my first post, so please go easy on me, but...

i recently discovered GVXMPP from the android market. it's a great start for a little workaround for the push notification. you forward your gv sms to your email, and your email forwards them to an mxpp client, which pushes it to your gvmxpp app on your phone... very fast. it's still in the alpha stages, but still quite handy. i suggested to the dev that he make it work in conjunction with the official gv app, and that rather than alert the gvmxpp app, it simply force a refresh within the gv app. that way all is in one program. the dev contacted me back saying this might not be possible, but does anyone have any ideas on how this might be able to work?

if anyone has any ideas, please let me know, or the developer of the program. i'm not a developer myself, so i have no idea what's what, but it seems like it could be possible somehow.

also, if you're the developer of this app, i hope you don't mind me asking around about this. but i feel like this would be a major breakthrough for gv users everywhere!

if this post is in the wrong thread, i apologize, let me know and i'll move it.

Hi. dzo's bootloader requires flashing kernel/initrd/cmdline each time to change settings in android, while recovery is not an issue with RUU and hardspl there may a better way. We also maybe able to support leaving Windows Mobile in NAND and booting from sd for those that want multiboot capability even with the small flash size of the vogue. There a few approaches here, one involves adding multiboot support to HardSPL directly, another to extend tinboot to support a second embedded (cooked) xip with a key press switching modes. The first thing I want to try however is clearing the screen and drawing a basic framebuffer message or menu. We might also switch to a more capable bootloader when support for the NAND and SD can be added. This is in vogue thread but most of the concepts should apply to all HTC MSM devices with Windows Mobile. If you need to reach me try tmzt in #htc-linux on freenode.

Are there retail component cables available for TV out on an HTC device? If there aren't, is there a work around/DIY solution?VGA/S-Video/possibly HDMI....ANY ideas/ contributions are appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] kierandill:
Seems to me it is a software issue and a cable one. The device can only put out NTSC/PAL. Composite video only requires one wire. Component would need 3. Where would the extra pins come from (in the USB connector)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] BASSMANBOB:
Wouldnt higher quality S-video still be possible though?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Mossesman:
Not sure if this will work for you guys, but I used the multi-adapter that came with my Touch Pro2 and a 3.5mm jack to composite cable to get TV out from my TP2. Basically, it was a cable that came with my camcorder. I had to remove/cut the blue wire inside the multi-adapter to get it to work. It works automatically without additional software. I found the information from another poster at PPCGeeks.com. I would have provided a link, but since I'm a noob, this site would not allow me. Good luck. Hope this information helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] BASSMANBOB:
Thanks for your response and yes this does work as I have been using this solution for about two months now and it's "okay" at best...I am still looking for something that would enable at least a "clean" 480p picture with every pixel cleanly represented without all the noise of the composite cables....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Dom1n8tr1x:
I am planning on getting a tv out cable from the following website as soon as my TP2 arrives (hopefully on tuesday):

http://shop.lab88.co.za/pL88OL-61/HTC-TV-Out-for-Pro--Pro-2.aspx

The cable sells for R188.00 approx. $25.00

They are the official importers of HTC devices in my country and their prices are very reasonable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] boxygreg1982:
try sparkfun.com and search for 'extusb'. if you are feeling adventurous like me then go for the cheap one (style 1) otherwise go for the one with the breakout board. either way, its good fun but be prepared for anything. you should have a bit of knowledge on how to solder though. tried it myself and it worked but with all the bare wires hanging out of the video cable it's in a box somewhere in the garage, lol.

sorry about my lack of using the shift key, hehe

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Mossesman:
I'm not sure if that is possible since the output of the device is not digital. And even with a USB to composite cable, the data will still be in analog. Good luck with your search and please provide an update if you find anything. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] BASSMANBOB:
Im thinking "S-Video" would be achievable, no? Anyone have thoughts?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] kierandill:
If you google for "composite-to-s-video" you get lots of little adapters for under $10, so it can obviously be done, but I doubt the video quality can improve. You also see decoders that cost $150.

If you look at the product description here

http://www.amazon.com/Dayton-SVC2-Jack-S-Video-Converter/dp/B0002KR7G8

it actually says the quality won't be better than the original composite.

It's a huge sight, but it is a better question to research over here:

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] osarus:
I think component PAL output is created through hardware, as running video at the absolute highest quality without dropping frames still runs perfect(on the phone) when i click in the video output. if this was done in software then it would slow down the video.(tested with fast moving scenes at really high h264 bitrates in full res so it would be noticable)

The only way i can see it working is if you "somehow" send the screen output over a normal usb connection to an external device which then created the composit output. This would have to be done in software which would be slow and inefficent if it would even be possible at all. If your trying to say... play video at a higher quality then PAL along with software running in the background outputting to said device... well yeah it just wont happen.

What exactly are u trying to do? if its something other then video like presentation u might be able to set up a webserver on the phone(pretty sure there is already software to do this) and take screenshots(software to do this too) and generate webpages in a higher quality that u can see on a computer ect that can plug into a TV

Guys,

I like to check with you all whether any solution for the below problem :

Every time I boot up my phone, it will display the messaging menu on the background and I cannot view the HTC Sense main screen till I press any button.

Please see below photo of the problem :
[HD2 General] TomH01:
Mine does exactly the same thing.
[HD2 General] mndl632:
mine does the same thing too, it seems to be that messaging tries to open up on top of it, if you see on your screenshot, it says messaging at the top instead of start. Seems to be an issue with windows mobile i think as i had the same thing happen on my touch pro with a custom rom. it happens to me when i use the phone too, for example if i'm watching a video in full screen that messaging thing appears over it and exits full screen playback, doesnt happen all the time but enough to become annoying
[HD2 General] Tubgirl:
Try booting the phone without the memory card inserted. Maybe it's corrupt.
[HD2 General] mids99:
I get this too. Tried searching for a fix but couldn't find one so good to see a thread started here about it.
[HD2 General] TomH01:
Touching the screen will also take you to the main screen.
[HD2 General] DexyG:
Weird. I get the "Launching HTC Sense" sometimes, but never the Messaging thing instead of Start.
[HD2 General] TomH01:
It only happens on mine if the phone has been switched off for a while, for example over night, if I just switch the phone off and back on again it goes straight to the main screen.

Hi!

I have the Energy rom on my TP.

I want to upgrade to the last rom avaliable all the time.

If i use a software like Resco Backup, is it possible to perform a full backup, flash a new rom and then restore my full settings and customizations and aply to the new rom??

thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tyguy:
You can chose whatever backup software you want. Sprite offers a restore after ROM upgrade, so does SPB but be assured that in 8 out of 10 cases it will FAIL, your brand spanking new ROM will be messed up, sluggish, unresponsive.

The only way these backups DO work is a 1:1 restore. Let's say you back up, installed a theme, phone hangs or you don't like the theme and cannot convert back.

Hard reset SAME ROM --> Restore --> > Done.

Get accustomed to MyPhone, PIM copy, UC, Sashimi and other tricks because you wont be happy with the restore.

Catch phrase --> "Trust me!"
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] r04d5t3r:
agree with tyguy...

PIM Backup, SASHIMI, and UC is very useful in backup/restore... I use them all :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] LazPL:
There are SOME things that will work that way. If you use Sprite Backup, you can decide which things to restore. If you avoid restoring the registry, you can still use it to restore selected items like PIM databases. I used Sprite Backup but it has become unusable and it seems the company has stopped responding to support requests. AFAIK, SPB doesn't offer the ability to select but I may be wrong.

I'm curious about one thing though. When using things like PIM Backup, what usually happens is once I sync, all PIM Info gets duplicated (Active Sync thinks the data restored via PIM Backup is something "new"). Does anyone know a way to fool Outlook/Active Sync to not behave that way?

If like me you have meetings and contacts in the thousands, using Outlook/Activesync to restore PIM info to the phone after flashing a new ROM takes a really long time...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tvaril:
I can confirm that newest version of SPB Backup never worked for me on EnergyROMs. I could not connect to gsm network even on a same ROM. Sprite Backup works like a charm, but only on the same ROM. It is good just if you are installing something you never know what happens. So it could work just like some restore points in windows. As the guys here said, best method is to learn UC customizations, Sashimi, but i have to say, it is not that easy, for some people...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] borisku:
i work with SPB Backup with ROMeOS and it worked perfektly even on different ROM Versions. I tried to restore a backup made with SPB Backup under ROMeOS WWE and restored it under GENY GER Version, worked without Problems after changing some names/pathes in the registry (Speicherkarte => Storage Card etc) depending on the language. Not working links like Total Commander werent in the installation of GENY in the main memory; they run after installing TC in the windows directory; for me the Speed was absolutely ok, but i dunno, how fast it would be if you work with UC. I restored all my BUs since ROMeOS since version 1.4 until ver 2, but then i decided to install everything new, what took 2 weeks of braincooking :D but i got 50 MB more free RAM. Of course its better to install everything new, but if its a complex program & settingsstructure, with a lot of tweaks, colored task bars and so on it is much easier & faster to restore a BU...

SPB has the opportunity to choose which parts of BU you want to restore ... from complete restore (with ROM Upgrade mode/ phone Changing mode) over all or single databases to even single files, if i remember right...

Greetz

Boris

P.S.: i only worked with WM 6.1 ROMs
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tyguy:
If I'm in the right mood I'll start a new thread under the general Raphael section because I think this does belong here to the ROM dev. section.

Just in a nutshell:

Sprite has and had major problems if the basic SYS changes dramatically (WinMo 6.1 to 6.5 or 6.5 to 6.5.3) thus I stopped using it BUT it has a nice but not really great working "Restore after ROM change feature".

My basic tricks are:

PIM Backup with SPB

Sync with MyPhone

XML changes (like program paths etc.) with Adv.Config

Install with Sashimi

Copy with Total Commander (programs, Opera settings and bookmarks).

Username and personal data either manual input or Sashimi.

This worked since WinMo 5.0 with no issues and it takes me ~ 30 minutes after a flash to be back 99.9%. I do have to install a few things manually

Don't have much time now so I'll post the link to the "How To" later today.
