[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Chillin:
I have done dozens of searches and come across hundreds of people having the same issue as me and not one solution that actually works...

The software: HTC Sync, version: 2.0.18

The OS: Windows 7

The device: HTC Magic (Stock Rogers version)

The issue: HTC sync installed fine, all drivers installed fine, when I connect my Magic to my PC my phone notification area gives me the option to "HTC Sync" when I select that and it searches for a minute or so it says:

"The phone cannot detect HTC Sync at your PC. Please make sure that HTC Sync is installed and opened on your computer."

Tried rebooting my PC and tried rebooting my Magic (as a few different posts suggested). Tried installing different versions of HTC Sync, but 2.0.18 should be the right one as HTC says that it is for Windows 7:

"This release of HTC Sync for Windows 7 allows for users to sync their Android phones”

It seems Many people are having the same issue as me and yet no one has a solution?!?

Any help, pointers or advice would be Very much appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] PurpleFries:
I've found that it is easiest to just avoid htc sync on windows 7 altogether. Tried to get it working for like 8 hours yesterday. You may be able to make it work if u use windows 7's xp virtualization mode (Google it) and install the program in an xp environment.

But honestly, i say avoid it until HTC makes it work properly
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Chillin:
Well even if I wanted to just give up on syncing it, if I can't get my Magic/PC to recognize each other then I can't ever root/upgrade my phone, so giving up is not an option.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Chillin:
Ok I have managed to finally find a solution that works (for me).

1. Install HTC Sync

2. Download these drivers: http://depositfiles.com/files/yd61xorii and then Unzip them

3. connect your Magic to your PC

4. on your PC select: Start>Control Panel>Device Manager>ADB Interface>Rightclick>Update driver software>Browse My Computer For Driver Software>Browse to the location you unziped the drivers to>Let Me Pick From A List(Don't let it pick or it will pick the wrong ones!)>Click on "My HTC">Click Next.

Done.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] PurpleFries:
you can root and upgrade w/o htc sync.

I did it yesterday. you just have to use the goldcard method to flash the proper spl, then you can put anything on the sd card. Windows recognizes the phone as a flash drive regardless of wether or not it works with sync
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Chillin:
You can flash your SPL without connecting your phone to your PC? (I just got my Magic to I have never done anything to it yet)

But anyways I also want the ability to use my carrier upgrades and for that I Need my phone to recognize my PC.

And most importantly I need a seamless way to keep all my different phones in sync with Outlook and HTC Sync is the only way to do that. So I'm glad I got it figures out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iWannaBeAdored:
HTC Sync here shows it works with Windows 7 now:

http://87.106.248.77/download/Driver//HTC Tattoo/HTC Sync 2.0.18/HTCSync.exe
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] PurpleFries:
yeah you can flash a new spl w/o connecting to computer.

but by all means, if you got it working, more power to you
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stevelieuwen:
Ive tried all the above idea to get HTC Sync to work on my PC (with Win 7) nothing works......

It works for my HTC Magic!!!! thx

Have you got your Magic rooted and customized the ROM?

I was able to connect few days ago, after I upgraded to 1.6 and lately 2.1, I was unable to do so...

Hello

I am having problems getting sound to work on skyfire while using mobileweb (You Tube, Iplayer etc...)

I have installed the most recent Skyfire.

* It works fine while connected through WIFI.

* IE has no problems playing you tube videos with sound.

* I have looked out the forum and checked that the system volume is on,

installed to the memory of the phone, un ticked 'hint for mobile web' .

* T-Mobile Uk insist they don't block port UDP (or any port).

I am very stuck. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers

Dorego
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
Do you have your device connected to your PC when using Skyfire? If yes, then it will nor let you hear any sound. Disconnect from the PC and the sound will be back. Otherwise, chek in your Skyfire menu whether Mute audio in on or off. Hope this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] doregoborrego:
Hi, Thanks for that.

Not connected through PC, nor is it on Mute....

Really Stuck been trying to sort for days!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] adewfaw:
You could download a fresh cab from Skyfire website and re-install. I am also with T-Mobile UK and I have no problems. Good luck!

Hi,

I'm having the same problem trying to play sound from any flash enabled website. I am also on T-Mobile. When connected to WiFi the sound works fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] doregoborrego:
not sorted out yet with skyfire. best workaround i have found is to use myplayer and coreplayer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Amirul0608:
what???? youtube works on ie?!??!?

thats news to me, the only way i could get youtube to work is with skyfire through wlan
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bnm7bnm:
its not a bug thats how skyfire works, when not connected through wifi skyfire shows notification that there is no sound.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] greencloudz:
suddenly no audio

Since the start of skyfire I've had audio, video. Had it last night all fine.

Tonite no skyfire audio. Same USA T-mobile Edge data plan.

No change with reset.

First time: this error message from skyfire that my connection can't play audio.

What changed overnight? T-mobile? Skyfirw? Thx for any input. green

Can I make a humble request to reorder the main page on the forum so that it lists the newest devices at the top and the oldest devices at the bottom....

It currently takes ages to scroll to the bottom of the list on a 4.3" touchscreen lol... :D
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
It's on the new admin's "TODO List".

I don't know what it will be, people are still banding about ideas, but in time there will be a new index.

[About XDA developers] denco7:
So all the rich people with their new expensive devices don't have to scroll, but us poor people with our 2, 3,4,5 year old devices have to scroll all the way to the bottom. Indignities upon indignities :D

You guys have the bigger faster screens, it's easier for you to scroll.
[About XDA developers] kujo_kjc:
i suggest it to be indexed in alphabetical order so that there'll be no bias..

Alphabetising seems like a decent idea. But, then again, what of phones like, Elf and Vogue, that are essentially the same, except GSM and CDMA. Seems odd to separate the two.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bshakil:
I was trying all SIPs available for Windows mobile on my HD2. But it was hard to compare them without a typing Tutor or WPM counter. So when i searched on the internet i couldnt find a good free typing tutor. So i made one myself.

Its at very early stage 0.1a and i made it in 1 hour (including my failed attempt to improve graphics)...

Its very basic. If you guys can test and suggest features to make it better and also if someone can give me graphics ideas or provide buttons i can also develop skin support. Its an exe file not a cab. I need a good icon for the application then i will make the cab file.

TypingTutorCE

Features

UpperCase and LowerCase Support

Word Length Support (3 to 11)

Word Per Minute Count

Please try and suggest if you have any ideas... and also if you know of any good free typing tutor software. So then there is no need to develop this app.

[HD2 General] jimsteach:
does anyone know a reg edit to speed up the keyboard long press?

I have tried other keyboards but they all seem to cause other issues, i loved swype but even that caused issues.

the htc keyboard is fine INMO particularly in portrait mode, i can type really quick on it, but the current long press delay slows me down.

cheers
[HD2 General] beldevvit:
+1, it would be nice to reduce the delay.

[Sable] Samhain77:
Great Norax!!!! I've waited so long fo this!!!! Thanks a lot! ;)
[Sable] Samhain77:
Norax..... I had to cut the first 3432 bytes from FLASH.NBF and then rename it to TEMPLATE.ROM to let the kitchen extract it correctly.
[Sable] keyx:
actually you only use hp original rom for OEM folder, for the SYS folder you should use the corresponding lang files released with SYS, using older lang files may cause problem
[Sable] Norax:
Sure. I didn't realized I used the Da_G ones. I'm changing it ;)
[Sable] Norax:
There is no problem if the kitchen does not extract correctly the files. The point is to extract the OEM_Lang_XXXX file. So maybe it didn't finish but you got the OEM_Lang_XXXX file into the temp\dump folder.

If it definitively does not work, tell me and I'll do it for you : )
[Sable] Samhain77:
Should I use the italian initflash.dat form da_G too?
[Sable] Norax:
Sorry about the delay. No, if you use the Da_G one, you'll only have the deffault things initialized. As you can see in the Keyx's, there are big differences because everything is organized in another way, inside folders and with some programs and applications missing or added.

So you have to edit the Keyx one, translating all things that have been translated into your language at the Hp initflashfiles.

Tell me if you didn't understand something.

In any case, I'm having problems to translate to Spanish the 6xx. So this tutorial may be only applicable to the 9xx ROMs.
[Sable] Samhain77:
Norax, thank you a lot!!!! With this tutorial I've done the first successfull conversion form english to italian!!!

I need to correct a pair of things but it's almost all working!!!

Just two questions:

How much is the default pagepool size of keyx kitchen?

Why all system is in italian except the shutdown message "Do you really want to shutdown the system"?

Again thanks a lot!!!
[Sable] Norax:
I'm not sure, you should look for it at Keyx thread

It happends also to me with the spanish one, so don't you worry about it, it seems to be untouchable.
[Sable] keyx:
-my default pagepool is always 16, you can check by using the pagepool changer under FLASH folder, when you change pagepool there is a logfile which tell you the original pagepool size

-the shutdown message probably in resources file that is under common sys (i.e not under the lang folder i suppose)
[Sable] Samhain77:
Thanks a lot.

Norax, comencé a cocinar la ROM ipaq_61x_28230_-_WWE_Kitchen como dice el Tuto y en el primer paso, luego del 1, me indica que:

'TEMPLATE.ROM'

[Sable] Norax:
Como ya dije anteriormente, no debes usar la opción 1 si lo que quieres es construir la ROM. La opción 1 es para extraer los datos de un FLASH.DIO, pero si estás usando la cocina de Keyx, no te hace falta (es más, da error al extraerla, como te ha ocurrido).

Por tanto, modifica los datos del SYS y del OEM para cambiar el idioma, y selecciona la opción 2 cuando ejecutes el .bat para construir el FLASH.DIO.

As I sayed recently, you shouldn´t use the 1st option when you want is to bouild a ROM. The option 1 is to extract the data from a FLASH.DIO you already have. But if you are using the Keyx kitchen, is not necessary (in fact, if you do you'll have an error, as it happened to you).

So then, modify the SYS and OEM folders to change the languaje, and then use the option 2 of the .bat file to build the FLASH.DIO file.​
[Sable] timon12:
1. i've got same problem like facundoo with sprx2xip

2. I want to translate WM 6.1 but i've got only lang files from DA_G to WM6.5, do you have lang files for 6.1?
[Sable] Norax:
Ok. Now I remember what happened. When you extract the Hp ROM from the .DIO file (renamed to TEMPLATE.ROM), it will say there was a problem extracting, but if you look into the temp folder, you'll find the longed language package :)

Use the ipaq 61x_91x_flex kitchen, then extract as described in the tutorial (that I'm changing now to introduce this info), and finally, when finished, enter into Temp\dump\OEM and you get there the OEM_Lang_XXXX.

Hope this fix the problem. If not, insist this way ;)
[Sable] acrocosm:
Hi, thanks for the info on that other thread ^_^

I need more help please.

Ok, I added/removed/edited whatever I wanted and I'm at the proccess of translating initflashfiles.dat, since there's no official greek rom.

I got the latest version of initflashfiles.dat I could find (14/2/10) and it all comes back to me now. the 0408 version, instead of proper folder names like "Τα εγγραφά μου" (for "My Documents") has a weird string, "\x004D\x0079\x0020\x0044\x006F\x0063\x0075\x006D\x0065\x006E\x0074\x0073". I presume it's character sets but I have no idea how I can translate that so I can find what I should change in the kitchen's initflashfiles.dat. Last time I just used the naming conventions from my omnia's 6.1 rom, it worked but I got some duplicate entries and I got stuck with the welcome screen on every boot. Other than that I was pretty happy for a first attempt. I'm trying to do a proper job this time, and learn during the proccess. What should I do?

Also, is there any way to use the standalone device emulator to test the rom so I don't have to flash each time to test?

EDIT: oh, there's an official rom for 914, I'll try extracting that and see where I can get, my questions still stand though
[Sable] Norax:
Yes, that's the way. In fact, what I did was to develop the spanish one, which is basicly like the English one but in Spanish, to have everything a little bit more ordered. And when I was proposed to do ir in Chinese and Polish, I only had to translate to the other languages what was in Spainsh, and don't touch what was still in English. At the end, however, I had the same problem as you. But doing it this way, it's easier to not to wrong any name.

The thing is that is quite confusing that, for example, the Windows folder is also called with numbers, but sometines it appears the Winows itself. So let me finish our tests in THIS forums so I can give you an answer.

Of course, if you finally got an usable ROM, please, send to me your initflashfiles.dat, so I can see how you did it :)
[Sable] acrocosm:
I can't extrct the rom properly, SRPX2XIP crashes and the extraction doesn't get far enought to get initflashfiles from the temp dir. Oh well, I'll do the tranlation again. Sure, I'll post my file when done. I'm trying to make the rom a bit lighter so some of the extras will be missing though.

What about the emulator? Can we use it for testing the rom?
[Sable] Norax:
No, I couldn't test it because as far as I know, is not possible to change the emulator that way. We should try it, any way. But I'm at this moment quite busy :) If you find a way, tell me and we can see how to do something.

Try to extract through the ipaq 61x_91x_flex kitchen. This gives also an error, but it extract all the ROM files, including the initflashfiles.dat. Try it and tell me ;)

Anyone manged to turn off the God forsaken XT9 for good in this ROM?

I had no issues on previous ROMs, but for whatever reason in this ROM XT9 turns itself on like an annoying little piece of turd every time you reboot. Guessing this has to do with the Chinese input being on this ROM, because I had no issues on any previous ROM I tried.

Anyone know how to disable XT9 for good or at least when HTC might get off their butts and repackage this for other locales as well?

And, out of curiously, how does this ROM even include handwriting recognition for Chinese input? I thought the whole big stink about capactitives being unpopular in Asia was because they couldn't do handwriting recognition... HTC found a work around so quietly?
[HD2 General] tsttse:
hand writing is fine on capacitative screen, iphone has it too... it is just harder to write because with resistive screens, you have a pen... the screen on hd2 is big so its fine...
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Hmm, fair enough, so it's just a matter of handwriting not being too accurate on capacitive, correct?

I guess it's just all the fanboys out there exaggerating things, making it seem like the whole continent of Asia is SOL when it comes to capacitive touch screen phones. :D
