[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
so i still didn't receive my SD in mail but i went and purchased one from walmart. Mann! i paid $5 to wait over 21 days now, and walmart has it for $9. Probably tomorrow i will flash it back to original.

A2.2 -- I must say that when i saw reviews on youtube (A2.2 Froyo?) i had my mind set that i'm switching to A2.2 as soon as it would come out. i guess i was expecting too much by thinking that this Chinese version would have everything the original A2.2 has. After reading some reviews on other websites and yours of course, I'm not sure if I'll be trading up or down by switching from wm6.5 to A2.2.

a few more Qs if you don't mind me asking about A2.2:

1. Are videos working for you?

2. How about GPS, i read on another forum that it was not picking up GPS signal.

3. Multi-touch? (not sure if you mentioned A2.1 already had this or not)

4. Market -- is market on 2.1 better than 2.2?

5. Now that you have seen the pros and cons of A2.2, would you still upgrade from 2.1 if you had to pay... say $500 or something?

honestly, i look at my friends android and i cant stop playing with it and i want it on my phone so bad but her's is a samsung vibrant galaxy S (original android with no bugs that i can tell) and that is what i want. WM6.5 has everything working but after playing with her phone, i am hating my boring WM phone...

Isnt there sooooooooooooooooooooooome possibility to install these A2.2 Froyo ROMS created by XDA member (eg; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=509493)

i dont understand why there cant be a universal android or WM software just like Windows XP or Vista etc., which we don't have to use specifically on a specific machine. Just install on any computer and download drivers.... these mobile phones/PDAs are as small as it is... why make things more complicated.... :cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
1. I've not tried the inbuilt video player, as I have no .3gp format vids. Though iterestingly there is no bundled video playing app.

2. GPS is working well with Google Maps, not tried with any 3rd party software. I don't think any unit is likely to pick up satellites inside a house.

3. This phone has a resistive touch screen, so multi-touch is impossible. MT can only be used on devices with a Capacitive touch-screen.

4.The Market is somewhat compromised by the fact that this is a non-mainstream port of A2.2, as the Market servers only make available what they think is compatible. There are still many apps available, but some useful things like Launcher Pro aren't there (luckily this is available as a direct download, but other Devs are not so generous, so you end up searching Mega-Upload etc.).

5. It's early days, and I'm still learning the system, but it does seem a lot more robust than previous versions, the lack of Market convenience for installing some of my favourite apps is a pain, as is the lack of swapfile, but they're both fairly minor. On balance, I think I'll stick with it, as it seems rock-solid stability wise so far, and that's the most important thing.

Hopefully one day we'll get to a stage where OS installs are like they are for the PC, but whereas PC's have been gradually evolving for many years, the smartphone market is very young, with many competing standards etc. I don't think this will settle for a good few years yet:rolleyes: It's also tht the phone is a tiny integrated device, whereas PC's can be upgraded in bits (you can add memory, change the video card etc.) and this requires that all the available hardware is cross compatible. Phones are just more proprietry in their manufacturing, and so need a more tailored OS. The big diversity being in the use of processors, which affects how an OS is compiled into machine code, once it's written.

would it be possible to convert the dual os on the moon website (http://down.happylane.net.cn/二合一中文简体506.rar) into english?

I installed this on my device and noticed that chinese version has some extras like GPS control or something. i opened the program and clicked on a button and it did something but since it's in chinese, i dont really know if it was configuring something or just hacking and taking away all my information lol... i would really like to see this converted into english if possible...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
In theory yes, but it is beyond my knowledge to achieve:o I'd have thought it would be anincredibly labourious process, as every piece of text from every dialog would have to be extracted, translated, and then recompiled into the relavant software.

I'd try and find some 3rd party software for WM that does the GPS setup & diagnostics.

I recently managed to get either the rom of my t5388 (Diamond2 A1 + + / Tops A1 + + / A1 + Touch +)

I have been testing the wifi and has a dreadful reception ... I can not move five meters of the router and signal is lost.

Has anyone been able to fix this problem .. I have read elsewhere, and is a matter of configuring it to accept the wireless B and G networks. because currently only accepts networks A (11mbs)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Firestrikers:
Ok, my experience with android 2.2.

-More stabel than previous versions!

-To bad they only left 2 languages to choose from.

-Interface is better looking than 2.1

-The camera issue is still not resolved! (QR-Code readers don't work here!)

-They've removed some programs that I found usefull, but they've added a couple to!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
As I said, most of the stuff that's been left out is replaceable, you just have to hunt for the .apk files;)

Adding to what I wrote earlier, I'm pleased to say that video playback is fine, still no way to install Flash 10.1, but skyfire works for a lot of flash videos on the web, including m.youtube.com.

I've made a start on the wikki btw, feel free to join in:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
i dont know if it was you but someone mentioned that the zoom bar works??? what does it exactly go? mine just make a sound like it's constipated and then does something really random.

so i flashed A2.2, not too happy about it. looks nothing like the Android on Vibrant galaxy S... i dont know why i'm so bothered by market not working... i guess i really wanted just two software... epocrates and skyscape Rx.... neither one of them are available. i guess i'll probably try to see if i can copy it out of my friend's phone.

one thing that is bothering me the most is that if i leave the phone on sleep for too long, it either shuts down or something because i tried pressing power button "nicely" to turn it back on--nothing, then i pressed and hold--nothing, took the battery out and restarted. then it happened again, this time i thought maybe it just take some time to load back up, so i pressed power and waited for one minute or so ( when youre looking at the clock, one minute is very darn long ).... not sure what seems to be the problem.

Rom 5388

Where were u able to get the ROM? Can you upload it somewhere? Don't you have the SOD problem with it? When I push end call/power button, my phone doesnt wake up anymore.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Yes, I've noticed something odd going on with the Zoom Bar, it seems that the right-hand end of it acts like the back button, and causes it to give a short burst of vibration. I too have found this a bit annoying to get used to, and avoid. The ZB did work in A2.1(but not very well), but sadly not in this release - I think it's more useful in WM. I think this is a mistake in the keymap for the phone, not sure where to find this, it's likely to be part of the boot image anyway, so uneditable.

As for your sleep problem, I don't have this, so would suggest a re-flash of the ROM. The only other thing I can think of is that I have the screen time-out set to 10 mins, as I got sick of the phone locking when I put it down for a couple of minutes, so I now put it to sleep manually by blipping the power key (perhaps not relying on the sleep timer prevents this issue?).

I think if you search google for '[your program] .apk' you should find the programs you want fairly easily, then put them on your SDcard, find them with the included file manager, and select them there, the inbuilt installer should do the rest.

T5353++ Dual OS

NEWS! There's an english and a russian version of WM6.6 + A2.0 dual system @ http://www.moon0755.com/down_19_0_0_7_0.html :D

More News! :D

To enable Apps2SD in A2.2:

These commands need SuperUser to be installed first....and a means of input, like a Terminal application ;)

This causes apps to be installed to the sdcard by default, if you then want them in the internal memory, this can be done via application management.

t5388i questions

hello guys ,i am sorry if am asking the wrong question here but can some one help me out with some questions i have about T5388i ?

-i would like to know what are the difference when we are refering AP and Modem in T5388i Rom.

-is there any other roms which work on T5388i model? if so can i have the links?

-when i was having this phone (i purchase onother now becuse the first one is broke by trying to install the correct Rom) the on screen layout keyboard was very small, is there any available for downloading the original layout keyboards for Windows mobile 6.5 ?

-Can some one explain when you are trying to Hard Reset this phone the correct procudere in order to reinstall/flash a fresh windows mobile 6.5 ?

am sorry asking those all questions but is my 2nd time this week am ordering the same model and i would like to make sure that i know some information.

Any answers to my questions i would be very very thankfull .

Thanks..

HI,yes but with not anything to show..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Firestrikers:
Yea, nice, the little base of that page (spec and so) was by me XD I'll check it out this weekend! And I backed up all programms with appmonster on 2.1 so I have all the .apk's :D

And what's so special about the new rom (2-in-1) they allready had it ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
It seems to be either just a translated version of what was already there, Dual OS ROM inc. WM 6.6, or two separate roms in the same archive. Either way, it means that 6.6 is now in English and Russian, which it wasn't before AFAIK.

I wish I'd thought to back up my apps, been a PITA trying to find them again:D

I wonder if the Market reads the build.prop file to determine what to make available, perhaps by editing this, we could alow more options?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Firestrikers:
Wasn't before? But when I got my phone it allready had WM and A2.0. And the Windows mobile did have english..

Tell me what apps you are still looking for
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
Oh mann, that is awesome. That was a very quick response from them... i had sent an email requesting English version on the same day i made the post if someone could translate it. that was like yesterday.... and they have it up today... that is impressive.

I know it's annoying but you'll have to break it down for me (and some other "lost" users). I have no idea what you just said. I would really appreciate it whenever you have time.

------------------------------------------------------

I thought that it is the same windows as well. Apparently it's not. I dont have my phone with me right now (left it at home today) but if i remember correctly, the WM6.5 that came with the device is a lower number/build than what WM6.6 is suppose to be.

I installed the Chinese version 2 or 3 days ago because i thought it'd be in english. I notice some extra apps and the speed at which it was going to next page etc was somewhat better than what i had on before. I think i mentioned WM6.6 having a GPS program that my WM6.5 did NOT have... It was on the Home page and i did not go any further than that since i cant read Chinese. I pressed some button on the "left" (because the "left" button is usually "OK", "YES", "I AGREE" etc. and RIGHT is usually "CANCEL) and it started doing something and popping up more chinese that i couldn't read.

Probably nothing of any significance but i'm flashing this english version when i go home tonight (still have 6 more hours).

It sort of made me think that either the device i purchased is not actually made my these guys(for one, it says HTC on it which is FAKE of course, instead of MOON) and the WM6.6 from MOON is probably a different/better than the WM6.5 that came with the device (i really hated that the original keyboard did not have the option to go change the # of suggesting words that popped up. I had to install HD tweeks to change that). But again, i'm not pro like you and adstraylight so i maybe be getting excited over something very minor here.

T5353++ Dual OS

Belated NEWS!! :D

The current word from our friends in China is that there will be a Dual ROM, with A2.2 + WM(hopefuly 6.6) out within a week. I'm guessing that the WM will probably be Chinese only, but you never know...In any case, I probably won't upgrade due to the lack of internal memory this would cause, I'll see what the Chinese have to say about it first.

Had a quick scout about the web, re: build.prop hacks, and it seems I'm right that this is in part what the Market uses to filter the Apps, will investigate further and report. At the moment, the two major things it's missing for me are Launcher Pro, and Lockbot. These can be found elsewhere, but I was getting used to the regular updates.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
TBH I deliberately posted in a manner to be understood by people familiar with the basic principles involved, as I don't want to be responsible for breaking anybody's phone. A full description would take several pages, & by investigating the processes yourself, you'll learn a lot on the way (like I did).

On saying that, the things you need to know to start are:

Apps to SDcard: A feature implemented with A2.2, meaning that applications can be installed to the card, rather than taking up the small amount of internal storage available.

Terminal Application: An app for the phone that is roughly equivalent to the command prompt on a PC.

ADB: "Android Debug Bridge" - A tool that comes with the SDK (software development kit) to enable you to interact with the phone's operating system via the PC.

ADB Shell: A feature of ADB that essentially turns your PC into a terminal for the phone, in the same way as you can input commands on a Terminal App.

Superuser: An addon to the phone's operating system to grant what is very much like Administrator privileges on a PC, ie. it let's you run commands that edit the system, and do things that are beyond what a normal user can. This is invoked with the terminal command 'su'.

I wrote a tutorial to enable/install Superuser here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7981472&postcount=1170

If the link to the package has expired, it can also be found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5SU2SQUP

There are many pages on the web about the various commands that can be used via ADB etc.

I hope this helps :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
thanks again for taking the time. I'll play around with it and see what i come up with.

just so that everyone knows, i mentioned that the Chinese WM6.6 has extra features etc. and wanted it translated in English. The ENGLISH "WM6.6" they just recently posted is NOT a translated version of their Chinese version. The English "WM6.6" they posted is the same as one that came with the device and is available on solonomi :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Firestrikers:
Oh, I'll try that ROM when it's available, I love android, but it's just so buggy, sometimes I miss WM wich works PERFECT on this device XD

And thx sun for the description of that Rom!! I'm no pro either

----------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Ok! i started over and it completed the entire process... but after reboot, i installed a program that got installed on the internal memory...

i see the "SUPER USER" icon (small ninja) on my device but when i press it, it does nothing.

i'm not what i'm missing...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
SU setup

Seems that you either didn't unplug then replug the phone, or (more likely) something I should have mentioned is that if you let the screen of the phone shut off it can loose connection to ADB - realy sorry I forgot about this :o.

I have my screen timeout set to 10 mins now so rarely encounter this...

Hope this gets you moving again, a way to check that ADB is working is to type "adb devices", which should return the phone's serial number. Another thing to check that ADB is running as root (user id 0), is to type "adb root" again, which should return that "adb is already running as root".

i should've mentioned in a new post but i edited my previous post saying that i tried it over again and i was able to get to the screen where you have to pick 1 or 2 ( u picked 1) and then is asked me to reboot, and i did. Nothing happened on the computer screen nor the device screen one it turned back on. Software still got installed on internal memory :(

I saw the little ninja logo for Super User and when i tapped on it, it showed me a black screen... went into preference inside Superuser and didnt see any option to change/set SD as default place to install everything.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
The reason you have a blank screen in Super user is that nothing has asked for SU privelidges yet, did you get a terminal app and try the commands I posted earlier? The first one of these is 'su' this should bring up a dialog box that asks you to confirm that the terminal app is to have SU privelidges.

SU is not Apps2SD, it is just required in order to activate the feature. The Superuser application just keeps a record of which other applications are to be granted SU rights if they ask for them, so what you say is a blank screen is in fact the list of these apps, it's just that none have added to it yet.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
For a start there's a better version of A2.1 (the fourth edition) on the manufacturer's website www.moon0755.com

I'd be concerned about trying this, as in the file list it gives start/end memory addresses for the different sections, to work the 'convert.bin' would have to be the right size, or at least not bigger than the one that was removed to make this ROM.

If you were to try it though, make sure you set the "dual delay" parameter greater than zero (though whether it is set in ms or seconds I've no idea, you'd have to check against an old dual OS ROM). I think this value tells the phone how long to wait on the OS choice screen.

I personally would not try this, as I think it could very easily break you phone by overwriting the part of the flash memory that tells it what to do when it first starts IE. its BIOS...

There's also a new ROM due soon that is a Dual OS with A2.2 + WM, so it's probably not worth the risk.

Hi,

125 pages, and a mix of everything, from single sim to android phones!

Can anybody open a thread for exclusively WM6.5 dual sim phones? :D

BTW : I'm know happy with my HTC clone (T5388++ or TOPS A1++) : Inesoft launch a app (contact, call history, dialer) which can pass phone numbers to WM native sms or phone app!!

As I failed to flash my phone, i succeed in making g-sensor working (with gyrator 2) and GPS working (with gpsmodsetup)

My only concern now is to make the phone reconize contacts from incoming call with country code at the begining...)
