To install manups eclair rom (I believe that's the one you're referring to)

You need to root your phone

You can follow this guide

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/

Since you've already applied the downgrade skip down to the section titled

B2. Replace the recovery image

If you follow the guide exactly you'll have Cyanogen's Recovery image, if you use that recovery you can follow the guide below to create an ext partition on your sdcard

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

If you deviate slightly from the guide you use Amon_RA's recovey image (just look for it under the development section for Dream's here on XDA), you can use Amon_RA's recovery to create the ext partition for you automatically

Once you have your recovery image installed and your ext partition setup then you can apply the rom you downloaded for manups eclair

Edit: I just looked at the thread for that ROM, it states you need to have Haykuro's SPL AKA The Danger SPL installed, this SPL has is known to brick phones if not installed properly

Having that information if you still feel you want to proceed, after installing your custom recovery you can follow the links in my signature for radio/spl to get the files

1) install radio first allow phone to reboot it will take a minute or three, be patient don't pull battery

2) Install SPL allow phone to reboot, once again it will take a minute while it writes the files

then you can apply your rom

*Once again many people have bricked their phones installing this file, make sure you are comfortable installing it before trying and aware of the risks, if you're phone bricks, it's not mine or anyone elses fault that you attempted this mod, you assume all responsibilty (just wanted to throw that in there, because there are literally hundred's of bricked phones from failed spl updates)

A test ROM for T-mobile USA? Has radio issues in Europe?

Hmm, might give some hope to people in the US who bought the phone, but can't use 3G... perhaps flashing the radio ROM changes the frequency over to US 3G standards.

I know one of my previous phones could be ROM flashed to change the GSM frequency - magician, wizard or kaiser, not sure.

[HD2 General] Jibreil:
Two weeks ago I was using the Nokia N900 for at least a month and was able to test browser over my GPRS connection by rigorously testing it on heavy flash sites

Being a GPRS connection, I expected a slow loading of the pages but the content was displayed perfectly well after a few minutes. Last week I bought myself the HD2 and since then been testing IE6 and Opera over the same GPRS connection, but sadly most of the sites complain of upgrading to the newer Flash plug-in, which is not possible at the moment.

Today I decided to install Skyfire 1.5 and to my shocking surprise every page that I had visited on the N900 loaded 4x faster and even the heavy flash sites loaded on the fly.

The core site that I concentrated was 2advanced.com

Load this on SkyFire and see at what blazing speeds the Flash loader gets filled and the beautiful flash UI is displayed.

Await to hear your comments and views.
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
I love it too. Very quick and I can access mesh.com which is programmed in silverlight. I just wish it had autorotate and pinch2zoom.
[HD2 General] Jibreil:
It does have autorotate, and pinch2zoom you can enable it by running BsB Tweaks 1.5 and adding the app into the Pinch to Zoom tweak section.

Skyfire is good but it eats your battery when viewing media content!
[HD2 General] lude219:
Is it a matter of licensing or technology that Opera has problem running flash sites?
[HD2 General] Jibreil:
I faced a similar problem with Fennec on the N900. I guess its a general issue of draining battery while viewing Flash/Media content via a Web Browser
[HD2 General] xardus:
i dont like it..i tried for half hour a couple of weeks ago...its strange i dont remember what i didnt like but i remember that i thought "take too many initiatives"
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
I know! I just meant that it wasn't standard to the software. You have to take additional steps to activate those features.
[HD2 General] Zunzun:
Skyfire is my browser for flash content. That's all. For casual browsing, Opera is faster, and a lot more comfortable.

Skyfire may be the best mobile browser when it comes to flash, but, for everything else, Opera/Safari/Chrome are far ahead. You should include "Flash" somewhere in the title of this topic.
[HD2 General] beyondthought:
loving the new skyfire update, a huge leap from what it was..
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
Completely agree, Opera fulfills nearly all my needs, and I occasionally use Skyfire for flash stuff (other than youTube, which I prefer the dedicated app for).

is there any were to hide the pictures or remove them without getting error on the software.

Thanks in advance

you can create an empty text file (using notepad), call it ".nomedia" and remove the ".txt" extension.

Place this file where you want pictures/audio to be ignored...

works for me.

I tried to upload a sample file, but for some reason, I can't, but it is pretty straight forward.

I bought a few days ago a second hand qtek2020, guy told me that phone is ok. And it was. I use it whole day. Second day when i try to charge it over pc (because he doesn't have proper charger) phone is turned off and it was a plague to turn him on again. I was putting in and out the battery a dozen of times but he didn't respond. At gsm service they change me a connector for charging and pc sync with mini usb (which shematics i found on this forum) because the proper connector was fell off because of a enormous tries of putting in and out an USB cable. And after changing the connector and a few tries it turned on! And it works about half an hour. Battery charges to 20% and then run out again. Then i figure out that battery is problem and then i buy a new one. When i putt the battery in i check the indicator in wm2k3 for battery and it shows about 24%, when it came out to 0%, it won't charge a bit. The backup battery is 100%! And again it's turned off and it's useless! Where is the problem? And How can i solve it?!

I forgot to mention! It took hard reset every time i pull out the battery. I surfed through forum i found out that after the pulling out the main battery the backup must hold out about 20-30 mins, which is not case in mine!

I am running ADP 1.6 and things have been working fine but lately I noticed the more apps I installed the slower my phone became, which led me to believe that the apps were being installed to the internal memory. Sure enough that was correct so I downloaded and installed apps2sd and everytime I open it up SU Permissions pops up but it just hangs. It doesn't permit me to allow or deny access. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to correct this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Sorry I am running AOSP-1.6_r1.4 + ADP DRD20 on a g1. I was thinking of wiping and reflashing but I really don't want to have to go through the process again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akapoor:
I see.

Your ROM (AOSP-1.6_r1.4) has A2SD built in, as far as I know.

Therefore, I'd probably check to see if you have the necessary partitions on your SD Card.

1) Reboot phone and enter Recovery (Home + Power)

2) Go to the console

3) Hit enter and type:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

4) Then type "print"

Please post what you see on the screen here.

Thanks.

I tried your code and this is what I got....

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akapoor:
Ah, okay - so you have everything set up correctly.

Honestly - I don't know. You might want to try reflashing the ROM. I don't have much experience with AOSP-1.6, but from what I read, flashing won't cause a wipe. But, just in case, make a nandroid/android backup and try reflashing.

I'll look into this further. If I come across a possible solution, I'll post back.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowgood:
So I don't need to wipe in order to reflash? I tried flashing the latest expansion pack but it gave me problems so I used nandroid back up to restore.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akapoor:
Try just the ROM itself (the Rooted Base):

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowgood:
That is the one I am currently using and currently experiencing the SU problems with. When I first installed it I had no problems what so ever, so I think I will reflash with this rom again. I will let you know how it goes. Again thanks for your help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akapoor:
It could be some minor issue on the phone's sys. files.

If you didnt flash yet, try fix_permissions (Terminal type: fix_permissions ). I don't know why I didn't think of that first, but its worth a shot.

If that doesn't work - i'd probably try flashing.

Sorry couldn't be more of a help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowgood:
Just reflashed... Still experiencing the same problems. I think I am going to have to wipe and flash again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowgood:
Don't worry you've already been a ton of help by helping me walk through a couple of steps. I tried the command and it says "permission denied"

Could that possibly mean that my phone is unrooted?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
No, you just have to type "su" before "fix_permissions". Try fix_permissions from console in recovery mode. Actually, just reflash your ROM (no wipe), then try fix_permissions. You can also try moving apps+dalvik to sd to see for sure if apps2sd is working. If it's not, then all your market-installed apps will disappear (don't worry, they'll reappear once you get A2SD working properly). EDIT: Assuming you don't delete the apps from your sd by wiping ext or repartitioning, without backing up first

If doing all that fails, then wipe and reflash. If that doesn't work, try a different ROM. Download CyanogenMod, it is the gold standard. If A2SD fails in his ROM, then you know that something is wrong with your setup. Try repartitioning your sdcard, just to be sure.

Oh, and backup all the files on your sd, and do a nandroid backup, before you do ANY of this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowgood:
I went ahead and wiped and reflashed... seemed to solve the SU Permission problem but I am still experiencing problems with ap2sd. I downloaded a few apps and saw that my internal phone memory was being used instead of the sd. I might give cyanogen's mod a shot. I notice alot of people run it, is it a fairly stable rom?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowgood:
I wiped and switched to CyanogeMod, the apps2sd is fixed but I still get a few problems with SU permissions. I noticed when I use SetCPU it asks for permission and I click allow but the app just hangs and eventually FC. Anyone know what could be the cause of this?

Okay so I'm using the 2.1 ROM, mainly for the use of bluetooth and I want to intergrate my facebook with my contacts to let me use their photos and birthday.

The problem is, when I sign in to Facebook via the contacts it intergrates ALL my facebook friends to my contacts! I end up with about 300 people in the list!

Are there any solutions to this, or is anyone else experiencing it?

Hi guy's.

Just recently got my first HTC and finding my way around. Under the "about phone" tab it says the software version is 1.0.0A6288. I am assuming this means it's 1.0, and if so how do i go about upgrading to 2.0, which i am also assuming is the latest version? What is different in 2.0 and is it worth upgrading considering i am still getting used to it?

Also i am a very keen mountain biker and ride off road on a regular basis, and am looking for a GPS software that i can use off road. I have already downloaded SportTracker, RMaps, Nav4All and SportyPal but they only track where you've been. I am after one that allows you to follow a route on the fly and download maps to the phone which i can then follow. Am also thinking of getting a Bluetooth GPS module which i can put on my helmet, will this work ok with the Hero?

Cheers,

Andy.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ippocrate:

Anyone know how it can be made?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I reckon it will mean an edit of the files that are the animated weather, but I can't find them. I had a pretty good look round and just couldn't find them anywhere (obvious).

It's gotta be doable, but you've gotta bear in mind that the animation fades in, so a loop may look pretty bad. (Imagine you've got a load of snow falling over your screen and then it just disappears and starts to fade in again, not to mention the sliding of the corner images in snow!)

It's gonna take someone knowing where the files are stored and knowing how to edit them well to make this work. It may simply be too much to ask with the current animations.

I hope not, cos I'd love constant snow on my home page at the minute. It looks great for the few seconds that it does work!

If you keep the keyboard-button pressed you should get a menu where you can choose. So far I haven't really figured out why, but in 8 out of 10 trys it doesn't work, so you just have to keep trying. If you have Total Commander installed then do it in that program, in there I get the menu almost every time...

I have the HTC orginal car charger with Mini-USB connector. This car charger has and intelligent chip "IC" to prevent overheating when charge is 100%

Now, HD2 has a MICRO connector. My question is, if I use it with a mini-to-micro converter, will this "IC" feature continue working?
[HD2 Accessories] pckshd:
Talking about this:

And this:
[HD2 Accessories] fredskis:
wat, IC stands for integrated circuit.

Also, the charging mechanism to prevent overcharging or damage to batteries is on the device (phone) not the adapter.
[HD2 Accessories] pckshd:
Yes, the phone sends the "charged" signal, adapter receives it and stops charging and turns light indicator off.

What I am saying is that maybe the mini to micro converter will prevent that signal to be sent and hence continue charging/overheating?
[HD2 Accessories] Marcdu81:
Hello,i've the same thing and it works fine . All pins are connected in the adaptator .
[HD2 Accessories] zenkinz:
no it's the phone that's drawing the current, not the adapter. Adapter is a "dumb" servant that serves current upon request.

the converter is just a wiring converter so again ther'es no intelligence involved.

Dude... 1 have two of those and they both wont charge... not in car, via charger or anywhere else.... I was so pissed off as I got two of them... thank goodness for the Motorola one I ordered as a backup. That one even allows sync :)

THe one showing in the picture... when I plug it on the cable with the other end in the cigarette lighter adaptor, the cigaretter indicator light goes out on that end as if a circuit has been cut.... this happens even without anything plugged in and happens with both adaptors I bought... nothing charges also.... pissed me off!
[HD2 Accessories] purezerg:
from what i see that is also a surge protector. 8v to 3v, being a surge protector, it has a capacitor inside, and that will naturally block all data connection.
[HD2 Accessories] Som30ne:
Could you provide a link to that motorola adaptor ?

I have searched Ebay and all the adaptors I found, specify they can only charge the phone, but not transfer data.

For some of them I also asked the sellers, and they said just the same - Charge ONLY.

Thanks
