[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
yes it is... its the same "updated" version that has been floating around for a while... the only difference from original xtrakt seems to be nicer menus.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Igr1:
Thanks! Now it works.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Blob8me:
Doh..... Apologies...... I wasn't aware there were 2 versions??? or an update to the original???

.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rovex:
No what he means is that this is the updated version we already knew about, its not an update of the update.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Blob8me:
Apologies if this is Old News.....

Guys - Apologies if this "is" old news as I was only aware of the original Xtrakt game as I'm sure many others may have been too and I'm not exactly new at this (Doh....!) This particular .cab has just appeared (in the last few days) on some of the Xperia forums..... :rolleyes: Forgive my impatience in posting and wanting to share what I thought was a new version....

I'm sure many members will still make use of the download link in the 1st post....

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spyrale:
...it installs itself on the main memory, no good. thanks anyway for sharing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Blob8me:
I had the option (as usual) to install in either Main Memory or to my SD Card???

.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
It gives you the option but no matter what you select it installs on device mem.

Theres a simple trick to get round this though:

1.Install it

2. Copy the xtrakt folder from program files to your storage card

3. uninstall it

4. run it from the copied folder
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Blob8me:
I'm not having a good day at all today.... I hadn't even noticed (until now) that it had installed in the main memory.... :confused: Sigh...... Thanks for the solution though....

About a year ago, JetWare, the solution for improved bluetooth carkit support in WM, went open source:

http://bthfx.codeplex.com/sourcecontrol/list/changesets?ProjectName=bthfx

However, it's not being developed any more, and certain features are not working yet (like messaging).

Are there any developers who like to contribute into getting this thing rolling again?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iVisionX01:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] archboy69:
I like the concept. I like that you are able to quickly get an overview of messages, calendar, calls and you can adjust was you like it. It would be better if it had facebook, twitter intergration as part of all the other info panels also.

The only issue here I see is that the whole notion of android is the widgets...which I like. I'll keep it on for awhile to test it out. Maybe it will grow on me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
It's basically windows mobile homescreen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kep0ne:
I agree with archboy, great concept, but still missing some customization features. The ability to move an item from the top half to the bottom half is needed. This would be great if it could also be used as a fullscreen widget, so that I could still use the rest of my screens.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iVisionX01:
I wish this was a lock screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] henloke:
IMO, this information oriented approach instead of the action/application oriented approach is much better in terms of productivity.

The only drawback of this application? I cannot access to some widgets/actions and I do really want to be able to do things like enable wireless, 3g, change brightness... without the pain of going through the setup menus.

A good solution to this problem would be a light weight home screen app which could be launched from slide screen and load the the 4 or 5 widgets I need. I've tried aHomeMini but it forcecloses, any suggestions?

@iVisionX01: yeah, having it as a lock screen is also great but, again, I won't need the full featured home app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bufodill:
2nd that

Tried it for a couple of hours, but missing customizability and getting settings too far out of reach made me uninstall quickly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] htcmagic:

[HD2 General] Naamah:
I have a folder with 300+ pics, the preview in HTC Album show me a series of thumb with black, wrong or distorded image, but the single image are showed correctly (also the zoom working good).

The thumbnail for other album that I have with 10/20 pics are ok.

I have tryed to delete and download again the same pics and tryed to delete and recreate the album cache, but the problem still remain...

Some ideas?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] omar302:
Try deleting the HTC Album cache:

Delete all files in the folder: "\Application Data\HTC\HTC Album\Cache" and restart your phone.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
some threads get close, but no concrete help found...

Stuck in "Launching HTC Sense..."

Anything I can do, besides from flashing a new ROM?

Using a cooked ROM, with several programs/tweaks on it.

build 28205, sense 1922, taskbar showing, bottom row showing, background showing

ROM had been running without a problem for days.

Removed of course SIM & SD cards to remove interference

Hard reset, battery removal no change
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pen-pen:
Did you tried to reflash your device via the tri-colors screen mode?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
yep. just did, no problem there.

just would have liked (or:want) to figure out how to bypass HTC Sense launch......:(

when xda quickmenu is installed (as I had), then sometimes by pressing the taskbar, quickmenu's popup window is shown, thus access to a file manager, thus a possibility to solve a htc sense problem. This time however, something stopped BEFORE quickmenu started, and I was stuck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pen-pen:
Did you have access to the start menu?

If yes, launch a file explorer, install bsb tweaks 1.6, launch it. Put Windows Settings to ON, soft reset.

After the soft reset, go to start menu -> settings -> Today -> Items, uncheck Sense.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vonkarayan:
I understand your problem...

No pen-pen, he cannot access anything in WM if Sense freezes while loading at startup: I have the same problem and tried to solve it loading different ROMs and talking here on XDA but for now no result.

The only thing I know is that for some unlucky guys the couple WM 6.5.3 (or later versions) together with Sense is lethal. At some point. The freezing happens after a Soft Reset usually (mainly because is time for Sense loading) and then only a Hard Reset can get out the situation because it's there everytime you Soft Reset.

Look for this program: SafeMode. It works like a charm but you have to pay or use the 14 days test.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pen-pen:
That's why I asked if he had access to the start menu.

I didn't have this bug and, so far, I'm in WM6.5.3 since the release of the HSPL.

Did you tried to install your SPB software on wm 6.5.3? it could work. Maybe with some graphical glitches, but it could let you make a backup before the HR.

Also, I've played with Manilla 2.1 and LUA a long time ago when I was young( :D ), and each time I made a mistake, Manilla was freezing, BUT, after some time, I could have access to start menu to deactivate Manilla and make some debugging.

Maybe you're trying to install some bugged mod or created for an old build of Sense.

Did you checked that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
Hard reset did not solve it either. Hard reset gave the exact same problem.

Tried WM 6.5.3 and 6.5.5, both with sense 1922. I'll try safemode, it it does what I think it does, it seems well worth the money.

Q: Anyone know how to make "XDA QuickMenu" start before Sense, that could potentially get me out af problemsituations as well (as QuickMenu, gives access to taskmanager, filemanager etc)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hicks:
I had this problem a few times and traced it to SRS WOW. Specifically, SRS was installed, then the new SRS WOW control panel applet was opened before device was reset, it would hang at the same screen.

No idea if this is a possibility for you, just thought I'd suggest it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
tnx! I indeed have SRS WOW installed. I remember there something special with this app, where after install a reset is mandatory before starting the app. Since I use Tom's autoinstall which ends with a reset this shouldn't be a problem. I'll try uninstalling it and see. Then again, this app has been running a long time on many different ROMs without a problem. Wouldn't do the author right to blame this app :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vonkarayan:
Solution related to Document Tab?

Someone considered the beta Document Tab to be the principal cause of Manila freezing and I quite agree. I'm using Artemis ROM since 2 days ago (WM 6.5.5 and Sense 2.5.1922) disabling Document index service and it seems to work ok.

Try to disable it by changing register value at:

HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/HTCService/DocIndexerService

It's a String containing the DLL's name: turn it to something else (or blank value) and that should make the trick. I repeat: 48 hours without freezing and doing some Soft Resets just to try.

Hope to be of help. :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dingolino:
I had with different roms/manila version this "freezign effect. Normlay after installing "my" software, so after a clean hard rest it was no problem.

So far I always solved it by using sk-tools and rearranging the booting order in the startup folder.

I put htc sense startup normaly at the very end of the booting chain.

This is certainly possible with QuickMenue as well.

In the meantime Iknow which applications are putting something in the startup folder and after installation of those programms I am changing it mit sk tools and do not wait till a reboot and run into trouble.

Best regards,

dingolino
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
tnx! read about sktools, but didn't know exactly what it could do for me. For others: http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html

I've got enough help for now. "safemode" and "SKtools" definitely helping.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wizzkidd:
Hi, I'm due to return my Touch HD back to Orange for a swap for a replacement handset, but I would like to make sure I return it back with the original Stock ROM and SPL.

If I switch on my phone with the vol key pressed, it shows that I have:

SPL-1.56.OliNex

And I am currently using the latest MaryOne ROM.

I have downloaded: RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship which I believe was the original Stock ROM for my phone. It appears that this ROM is the older 1.14 version.

Before flashing my device with this ROM, do I need to downgrade my SPL first? Or is there a way to make the phone use the Stock SPL? (The reason I ask this is because I remember reading the "dummies guide" and it said that in order to use the newer 1.56+ ROM's I had to upgrade the SPL, so my guess is I may need to downgrade now to install a 1.14 ROM?)

Could anyone clarify for me?

Thanks,

WizzKidd
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You are correct, if you are using a rom based on 1.14 you need to match the SPL or you'll get screen issues etc. You can either use HSPL 1.14 or return stock 1.14 SPL. All info can be found in this thread including how to return to stock rom & SPL (bottom of first post - section called 'How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!')

Post further queries in that thread

[HD2 General] CHIP STAXMAN:
I wrote them an email asking why my data connections were so slow. Here was my reply:

Hi *****,

Thanks for your email to Virgin Mobile about your new phone.

We can only provide you with the information that's stated on the website when it comes to the technical information as we're not given any additional facts of the phone. After checking the website it doesn't state anything in regards to what the speeds should be when the phone is connected to the internet. If you'd like to take a look, click here.

There isn't any speed caps involved on your Virgin Mobile contract. Your HTC HD2 is able to connect at up to 3.5G, also known as HDSPA. You may find the connection slow if the tower you are connecting to is a 2G tower. You can identify what speed your connection is by looking at the top-right corner of the phone, a G icon would mean a slow connection. A 3 or a H should allow you to view web pages extremely quickly.

If you find that you're not getting on with the phone and you're unhappy with how it runs you've got 28 days from purchase to return the phone.

We hope that the above information provides useful.

If there's anything else we can help you with, just reply to this email. You can also give us a call on 789 from any Virgin Mobile phone – it's just 10p, no matter how long you talk for. Or, you can call us on 0845 6000 789 from a fixed line phone. These calls are charged at local rate.

Kind regards,

*****

Virgin Mobile

So I've got a phone capable of 'up to 3.5G' but they make no claim about what speeds I should be getting.

Bear this in mind if you're thinking of going Virgin too.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
There is no network in the world that can gaurantee that you will be getting HSDPA speed 100% of the time.

Thats just common sense mate.

:facepalm:
[HD2 General] CHIP STAXMAN:
You are correct.

But surely there should be a minimum amount of service a customer should expect.

Imagine a water utility company saying they couldn't guarantee how much water would come through the pipes, but you should pay your bills anyway for 'up to' a certain amount of water per month. And if it falls to a cupful of water per day, then too bad, it just means your neighbours were using a lot of water, tough.

I'm not expecting full speed 3G. I'm expecting pages like this one to load faster than 1 minute later, and without constant drop outs when I'm sat still in a chair in central London with full bar reception and my phone displaying 3G at the top.
[HD2 General] beermonster65:
There are so many variables to consider, forum usage can slow down, bandwidth usage in your area, atmospheric conditions etc, I'm also on virgin and when browsing this site on opera via 3G speeds are plenty addequate, no more than 3 seconds between links.

Sometimes i will get dropouts too but they are very rare the 3G network is massively over stretched with the popularity of 3G dongles and people sat there torrenting and what not, this is why the FUP is in effect, the 3G network at the moment cannot sustain a free for all.

Having said this you should be expected to get a reasonable service, in the past when on Tmobile, same as Virgin as it happens I have complained when not having any service for 3 days and they have knocked a few quid off my bill.
[HD2 General] aqub56:
I found this on another forum from a poster called DBMandrake:

----

Having been with Virgin (with my iPhone) and then leaving them due to their poor data network I feel I should comment here.

Virgin can not (or will not) provide true HSDPA speeds on a mobile plan. Even if you see an HSDPA indicator on your phone, at best you will get around 350kbit/sec, which is standard 3G speed not HSDPA, as they throttle the bandwidth. You can get HSDPA speeds on a mobile broadband dongle from Virgin, but not on a data plan for a phone.

Before a dozen people jump in and say "but I get more than 350Kbit on Virgin", some older grandfathered plans may still have uncapped speeds, but currently selling ones do not.

I contacted technical support on more than one occasion regarding this and they were unable to do anything or offer any means of increasing the speeds above 350kbit, (even by paying more) and were unaware of what speeds I should be receiving in the first place, and had no idea whether 350kbit constituted an acceptable speed.

Secondly, Virgin put all web traffic through an image optimizer that dramatically compresses the images. While that may look acceptable on a 1 inch screen, and speed up page loads, it looks god awful on an iPhone screen, especially when zooming in, and there is NO way on a mobile phone to disable or bypass this image optimizer.

Both of these policies are in place because T-Mobile (whose network Virgin piggybacks on) also have these policies, except in T-Mobile's case you CAN pay more to get your speed uncapped (web 'n walk plus tethering addon) but you still cannot get the image optimizer disabled.

For these reasons (and others) I left Virgin and went to 3 and never looked back. No annoying image optimizer, and uncapped speeds which regularly exceed 1.2Mbit and go as high as 3Mbit in some locations, and far better 3G coverage to boot. No comparison if data is important to you as it is to me.

[HD2 General] beermonster65:
I can only assume it's a problem in certain areas, which by the nature of things there's not much that can be done, other than put more masts in, its purely down to location and network load.

But if the limit on Virgin/Tmobile is capped at 350kbit is that really a problem for general browsing, email and social networking? I certainly haven't encounted a lack of bandwidth since moving to virgin last week.

I would think the limit is there to keep the network usuable to all, as said before an unlimited uncapped network would surely grind to halt. If you read virgins T&C they state they cannot guarantee any speeds, to do so would be wrong due to the nature of the of the whole system.
[HD2 General] CHIP STAXMAN:
I'll admit I'm being a bit hyper sensitve to the data rates. It's because I was really excited about the HD2 and really putting it through its paces. Which I can do, apart from mobile web, which is more of a gentle Sunday stroll after lunch... with my gran.

I appreciate that it's a bit of a phone mast lottery when it comes to data rates, but when you work in Zone 1 of London you'd expect the infrastructure to be better able to cope by now.

And I detest the whole 'up to' measurement on data when advertising plans. I understand why it's written such, but providers should have to provide a realistic picture of what the average punter can expect on a daily basis. Not what theoretical person could get while pigs are landing on the moon.
[HD2 General] xponline:
Virgin Speed

I have seen this in other forums.

I have gone to a speed test site (www.dslreports.com) and run from opera browser with both phones on my desk showing 4bars (H)

- on my HD with orange 1M to 1.2M

- on my HD2 with Virgin getting 200k - 250k.

Will be looking into this further with a view to returning HD2 under 28day return policy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Hi all,

I'm currently working on a 2.1 Sense-UI 'Lite' Rom, which will use a customised, lightened version of the Espresso Rosie. I'll be no-doubt spending every second of my free time in Photoshop with the aim of making this rom look stunning.

As for the rom itself:

I've used highlights from several of the current 2.1 releases from this and other forums, and I'm pretty happy with it so far; it has a very small 'not working' list, and the filesize is reasonably low for a Sense UI rom. Of course, I'll credit people where credit is due.

Anyway, the questions. Some of this may seem incredibly dumb. Please assume that I have an understanding of Linux, but I am very new to Android Development. I've simply read the guide that Lox posted, then taken a 'learn whilst I work' approach. So...

1. How do I edit the 'Software Number'? (I can't seem to find it)

2. If I start again with a clean, AOSP 2.1 rom, how do I make it use Rosie? It can't just be a case of putting the Rosie.apk in the right place can it?

3. If I want to select which apps/widgets appear and where, do I edit the relevant XML which contains the Screen/X/Y locations?

If/when I have more questions, I'll post them here!

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
1. Sorry dont know,

2. No you need to add all the framework files, quite a few of them I think.

3. system/customize/mns/default.xml

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Thanks Dan. I have the Framework files, so that's easy enough.

I suspected it was the default.xml, so thanks again.

Anyone know the answer to my first question? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxld:
I think that it is somwhere in build.prop but I can be wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
1. No idea what you mean by 'Software Number'

2. com.htc.framework.jar and friends need to be added to init.rc's BOOTCLASSPATH var ... so at the very least, you need to provide a custom boot.img ... that rules out adding it over other custom ROMs :) ... on top of that all the Rosie related /system files need to be present...

3. yes - that default.xml is the place ..

Good luck ...!

(Side note ... Why oh why would you want to add sense!)

[HD2 General] acsapple:
Try start menu (on top left corner) and then click on 'Lock' (on lower left corner).

Once you lock the screen manually it will keep working even after soft reset.
