[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gregwee:
I've searched through all the mod threads and haven't found this solution.

Is there any way to change the weather display on the Home tab to use the City instead of "My Location"? On my HD2, My Location doesn't always work, and it is frustrating to see weather that is very different from what I'm actually experiencing..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bjerde:
Just tap the clock and select another of your cities.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gregwee:
Tapping the clock on the "Home" tab doesn't do anything. Tapping on the weather line, just under the clock brings me to the "Weather" tab. BTW, I only have one city setup for weather in my HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bjerde:
Hmm, tapping the clock in Home tab brings me to either "Global clock" or "Alarm", changeable by the bottom menu. I'm running Maxmanila 2.7, but I'm fairly sure I tried this before I installed MaxManila also...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Yes - if I tap the clock, it brings up the "world clock" page, where I can add/edit/remove cities, and set the one that is the default view on the home page.

This affects which weather is shown on the home page too.

If you can't get it by clicking the clock, click the alarm clock to open the alarm clock page, and the world clock page is the first tab out of those 2 pages you get.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gregwee:
Thanks johncmolyneux! The Alarm page is the one. :D

*My SeedBox is down and I havent updated this in several weeks. Ill work on it when I get time.*

I have decided to set up my own tracker and provide the option to use the BitTorrent protocol. I have a very speedy SeedBox that I will use to start posting ROMS and anything else CDMA related. Please provide feedback weather you what me to keep this up and running. I guarantee this will max out you connection :)

***TO DEVS** If you are wanting to keep track downloads We can alter the links to your bit.ly account and Ill give you links to the torrent files***

~Torrent Repository~

Tracker Status: OFFLINE

FTP Status: ONLINE

Current listing

Once I get the bugs out this will be more reliable and faster than direct links.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Good idea, but I can see this thread going south for Warez claims. be careful or the mods will close it. I only have tether acess anyways, not hard to max me out at home.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
No warez I will make sure of that. Only material already available via conventional methods in this forum only faster.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] obelisk79:
I think this is a great idea. I can't seem to get your tracker to load here at work. Perhaps you could limit new torrent uploads to approved rom devs upon request to help curb the chances of warez related issues.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
Do you have issues using BitTorrent @ work? Did you get the torrent file off my FTP??

Try re downloading the torrent file. I made some changes.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] obelisk79:
I'm in the military and on a government computer, there is a very restrictive firewall in place. I can't even get your tracker site to load. No worries though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mr. Biggz:
I already have all the cdma items and ROMs on my http server linked to in this forum. I already have over 6 GB transfered. You up for a little competition?:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Wasney:
Just a heads up, cant get either torrent file to download. And I am sure my utorrent is fine, got at least 200 things seeding right now...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
Thats odd i can connect here at work???? Let me try a different way.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Wasney:
I dont mean connect, I mean actually downloading the *.torrent files
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
Speed competition im down for :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rockcrawler:
No go on the download here either........download would have to actually start for there to be a competition :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
I need a more detailed explanation. CAn you even get the torrent file?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Raptor_01:
yeah they restrict that and monitor it closely :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
huh? What are you talking about?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] SPIK3:
I was able to download the fresh ROM without any problems and at my full download speed too.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
U live in my area so maybe the is a issue in other regions???
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sefferdog:
I was able to access both files.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
i was able to pull both files off your ftp

i am downloading both files now, no problems. i will seed for a while probably, i have 4 peers, lol.

mr biggz, you should track the files you have, have a torrent option and a direct download option!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
Id be willing to merge or kill this thread off and Biggz and I can have a repository with both options! Im all about options!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] husker91:
well, ive tried cooking manila 2.5 into my rom with limited success. First of all for some reason when it boots I get this error in a moveable window that says "\Windows\copilot.wm6ppc.cab is not found" Another issue I have is that the top bar is missing. The one with the start button, its just gone... The final is that whenever I shut off or soft reset it goes through the customization again, almost like it was freshly flashed. I will attach my build log and initflashfiles.dat for you guys to look at, thanks!

i have problem too with sense 2

i using packages from 1.61 or 2.01 with the same problem when sense 2.5 start after 5sec screen stuck and not showing properly before stuck.. also no sliding bar only the button like landscape..

must remove something from OEM FOLDERS?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] joshkoss:
I was having this issue it was my sd card causing it:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCService]

"DocIndexerService"="DocIndexerService.dll"

i had to remove that service or remove my sd card to get it working.. also try recmodding modules.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tsuekasa:
i downloaded mightyroms6 with 6.5 and i dont have the new lock screen feature or the new answering ui
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wuub:
when you press start... do you see a lock button ?

ps : maybe you could ask that question in the rom thread ;)

edit : what rom is it, can't find it :confused: (no, no... no kidding, i can't find it :p ) is this a diam rom ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MartiDiamond:
He might be talking about the "go directly to messages when there's a new message" option. This only works when you really have a new message. The go to messages button appears when the unlock slide-button is tapped once.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nox0405:
I wonder does HSPL will cause people who want to flash Original Factory Rom such as WWE,Asia WWE or Asia TW Rom(Chinese Rom), if my HD2 is from UK. Or we have to use gold card to flash HTC Factory Rom??

Or HSPL just for people who want to flash cook Rom?

I have saw people got problem after flash HSPL and got messege saying: "Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center", !!! Problem NOT related to HSPL !!! ... this means that you flashed a region protected rom... flash any other rom that has your region ID

Can soem people tell me mroe about it, I have been download few official Rom from XDA such as WWE, Asia WWE, and Asia TW Rom, so does all of the Rom are region protected?? or only some special Rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] band27:
The HDSPL does what the Gold Card did and more. The features outlined below allow you to now flash any cooked or stock Roms.

Features

- Disabled CID Check, so you can flash any official ROM without using a Gold Card.

- Security Level = 0, so you can use all the boot loader commands (for developers).

- This HSPL will not get overwritten when flashing a full NBH with SPL via RUU.

- No NBH signatures check, so you can flash unsigned ROM images.

It's been suggested to remove your SD card when flashing your device with the Hard SPL as previous images / files can impact on the success of the installation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlydiard:
As far as I understand the issue, it is not the ROMs that are region protected, so that is not what is causing some a problem. I believe the problem is that some phones have encoded firmware that restricts the type of ROMS that can be installed. So, some people can only install ROMS that are designed for the region.

You can search the threads for a way to work around such problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] toawkanavngthded:
yea i can't believe it happened... my question is i have flashed a cooked ROM before and all and now i am running spb mobile shell with a custom theme from mobilecustoms.... i do have a warranty on my phone... do you think i can get away with replacing my phone?? i notice that my sleep/wake button does not work and the vibration feeling is very low... so do i need to flash to a the stock ROM? can i leave it the way it is and bring it to them? does insurance even cover water damage??? any help is MUCH APPRECIATED. thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drhuggybear:
Take the battery out. Put the battery and the phone in a bag of rice for 2 days. After that the phone should work fine. My wife did this with her Blackberry and it worked fine after a couple days.

Typically insurance doesn't cover "water" damage as they can tell you did it. On the battery and on the inside of the phone there are 2 stickers than turn red when they get wet. So once you take it in and ask, they will crack open the phone. Never hurts to ask though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] toawkanavngthded:
really rice? lol. ahhh i dont have any rice at the moment lol. ive been meaning to buy some as well... anyways yea the stickers i noticed that.... but if i were to bring it in and they saw how my phone was modded but using spb mobile shell, does that void the warranty?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Shame to hear about your Rhodium:(

Covering it with rice is a common practice to absorb the humidity

I don´t remember where but I´m sure in general section I read a thread regarding solving water probs.

Hope you can save it:)

And don´t forget to vote!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Are you sure insurance doesnt cover water damage? I thought warranty didnt, but insurance covers from what I know any incidents. U might want to double check that. And as for SPB Mobile shell no they wont care about that.

And if the rice idea doesnt work, then take the phone and put it under direct sunlight for 4 hours with the screen facing down and no battery or battery cover. If you are in winter where you live, then do not put it outside, but keep in a warm room with direct sunlight shining thru for about 4 hours. My Ex's daugther did the same with her pantec and the rice didnt work, but my idea did :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] toawkanavngthded:
thanks! the sleep/wake button comes and goes... other than that it seems like its still working good.... :(. ill see what happens though... i wanna see if my insurances covers it....

u made a good point... now that i think about it i think ur right about the warranty and insurance. even if i have a modded theme from spb mobile shell? if so that would be great! but i hard spl my phone from before... is there a way of them finding out? do i need to do the whole rice thing or place phone in direct sunlight??? that sounds a good idea :). should i call a rep or just go to the at&t store?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sukru:
Sunlight + Rice.

I dropped my old phone into water (completely immersed), but was workign after 2 days of drying.

As for the hacked shell, unless you modified you ROM (HardSPL?) you're OK.

Warranty does not cover water damage, but insurance should.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kmx:
Rice seriously? LoL

Thats just a silly old myth.

As somebody who has opened up many phones before, I know for a fact that it's just a silly myth people believe in.

Think about it, is the rice going to magically suck the water out of the phone through the tightly sealed housing.

Rice is not going to do anything.

What you need to do is order is some torx screws off ebay and read a disassembly tutorial so that you can dry out your phone the proper way.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sicbroserg:
I went snorkeling with my Touch Pro :o

When I took it back to the service, first thing they looked at is the stickers and told me its water damaged and that warranty is now gone. Firstly, I gave it lots of sunlight, then got a new battery, then opened the whole thing up. Yep, it took me a while but it was cool to have a look inside. What I found is that water did not really hurt it, but salt did. Using a cotton bud and pure alcohol I cleaned up all contact and solder points on PCB.

It works finenow, except the screen has visible marks, almost like dead pixels, where salt ate it away.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drhuggybear:
Have you ever tried it? If you haven't then how can you be so condesending about it?

As someone who has done this and seen it work ... I believe in it. The phone was not opened. Was not put in direct sunlight but kept in a drawer in a ziploc baggie full of rice. 2 days later it powered on and ran for almost a year before we upgraded my wife to another device. I would bet that if I pulled it out of the drawer and charged the battery it would probably still work but who wants to use a blackberry :p

As with anything, your milage may vary but it worked fine for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] epoh:
If the housing was really tightly sealed it wouldn't get enough water into it to break the thing. The rice trick won't work if it was anything othan than plain water, but it generally works well for water spills.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Yes, make sure you add spices, and brown rice for extra flavor.. Seriously, get a clue. It's a dessicant. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiccant
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
The rice also helps speed up evapouration since it can absorb moisture in the air surrounding the device and it's readily available. You can use absorbing gel used by people like photographers instead if you want, but you can't cook and serve it with your meal afterwards (just kidding).

In fact, you don't need to use rice or any other material at all - take out the batt and leave it to air dry opened, but this can take over a week or two, even longer if the humidity is high.

PS. I read elsewhere an alternative to rice is to submerge it in alcohol, let the alcohol absorb the water then take it out and let the alcohol evapourate....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
I also have to admit that it worked for me. The most important thing about water is to try and vacuum it up out of the phone. Hot air just forces it into places it may not have been. I then put it in a jar with rice for about a week. When all was said and done it worked fine. I may have worked anyways but I figured I had nothing to lose.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
I dont know about the hard spl, the SBP mobile shell is not tinkering with it, custom roms, or hard spl might, insurance I dont know, but if anything I would get a stock rom for your carrier, and if you do a search there is a spl reversal which can lock your phone back. And you dont put it under direct sunlight in the rice bag. If rice didnt work, then you put it under direct sunlight screen down in the open air.

As for person who said "mythical" rice. I beg to differ, as someone said it does absorb moisture that is in the air. Rice is not solid, its a grain which any science nut would know is poreous, which just like carbon can adsorb and absorb moisture in the air, hence putting a wet phone in a ziplock bag would indeed remove water and water vapors due to evaporation.

But also take something else into account, the rice idea only works for a certain amount of time, to the person who said they left it in the rice for a week, sorry the rice didnt get rid of the water, normal sequence of water drying did, you could have taken that same phone and left it on your kitchen counter that long and it would have worked just the same.

And as a side note. Salt works too, its just too fine to put a phone into it. And I never thought of the alcohol trick, maybe I'll try that with a phone I could careless about, til then not a chance.

Lastly, anyone who buys bagels by the dozen, if they give you a bakers dozen, get a salt bagel and leave it in the bag with the bagels, helps keep the rest of the bagels fresh :D

We now return you to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress LOL!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RobTsintas:
Don't cook the rice first! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] toawkanavngthded:
thank you all for ur responses. the night i dropped my phone i just took out the battery and just wiped everything as dry as i can. i had to charge my phone that night and so i did it anyways... the next morning it charged fine and everything was working fine... that night my sleep/wake button started functioning correctly. the only problem i have is that my vibration isnt as strong but its ok. so i guess i got lucky? i have insurance so if anything starts acting up ill try my best to switch it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
If you have insurance (you pay monthly) then it is covered, but there is a $125 deductible I believe. If you do not have insurance and are referring to the 1-year warranty then no, water damage is not covered.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jmy72:
My insurance paper says that the insurance co pay is 50 bucks. That being said, if you can go without your phone for a few days, pay the deductible and tell em that you LOST your phone. Asurion does cover the phone if it is lost.

PS. The rice does actually work. I didn't believe it myself, But I had to do that once on my Touch Pro 1 and two days later the phone was completely dry, and worked like a charm.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
lost phones are an $80 co-pay through asurion, not sure how the other insurance companies are.

*edit*

I've had an experience dropping my Treo 700wx in water. The screen was shot for a couple days (and you could see the receding water). After about 4 days it was working fine with just about everything but I still replaced the phone and the replacement refurbished phone was worse than the original. Basically water damage isn't too bad, just let it dry and don't use it for a couple days. It will shorten its lifespan, but it will still work. At the very least its better than getting a refurbished phone, because in my experience those seem to have more problems.

[G1 Apps and Games] ghrayfahx:
I know there's a thread for Paid App reviews already, but this truly deserves it's own thread.

Name: DishPointer Pro

Type: Augmented Reality Tool

Cost: £11.99

Rating: 10 (Heck, this thing deserves an 11 for the trouble it saves)

Comments: I found out about this thing while doing research to find out the directions to a bird while here in Afghanistan. I stumbles across DishPointer's website, which was a lifesaver, and saw mention of this app. As soon as I got back to where I could access the market I made sure to get this app. I can't begin to say how wonderful it is. Being over here, we don't have any birds that are actually for us. We use Hotbird 6&7, which are for Europe. This App still helps me see if I have line of sight and it helped to align a dish in no time. (I know you see the difference in time in the pics, We had a bad LNB that was making it more difficult to get a good signal.)

The fact that the app stores all the birds for offline use is a truly wonderful thing out here. If I had this before, I could've been able to tell within 5 minutes that one of the sites we were at was simply not able to see the bird. We could've been in a dangerous location for a mere 15 minutes instead of the 3 days we were there trying to no avail. From now on anytime I go out for an install I'll make sure my phone is part of my toolbag, and of course this app will be installed.
[G1 Apps and Games] ghrayfahx:
Oh, the reason the dish is inverted is over here, the bird we have to hit is only about 15 degrees off the horizon, and inverting makes it MUCH easier to hit that low of an angle. Also in that one pic I know the cable is just hanging off the LNB. That was our test cable running to our SpecAn, and we zip-tied the actual cable to the mounting arm. (In case any satellite pros are out there thinking I'm screwing up. )
[G1 Apps and Games] r4d14n7:
Wow. I'm in military SATCOM myself and this app looks outstanding. I'll be checking it out for sure. Thanks for the heads up.
[G1 Apps and Games] Abbens:
its a good app. But I cannot get it to work with my true south.

Kind of ridiculous. They wished it had a keyboard. Why don't they say that about the iPhone :rolleyes:

I think google hasn't optimized Android for the snapdragon as well as they could have. Cyanogen needs to get his godly hands on this thing ASAP and build his kernel for it. It is simply amazing at the amount of speed he got out of a G1. I can't wait to see what he does with a snapdragon :eek:
