The problem is when you click on "Album" since it's calling the app: "HTC Album" (default gallery app of HTC) that is not in this ROM because it doesn't work (told by Nathan some posts ago).

If you click on default galleries to choose images, the change works without any problem.

EDIT: You can change the wallpaper with the Gallery3D app included in rom, choosing image, more options, set as... but only for wallpapers. No option for Lockscreen.

I have same problem on Orange Uk (settings all correct) havent been able to send or receive any mms on all of Nathans builds. I dont usually bother sending mms anyhow, but it can get annoying when somebody sends u one and u cant open the damn thing! lols :D Hopefully a fix is in order for next beta wave ;) Good working beta rom so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Romdan:
Thanks for the advice mate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Change the lockscreen from the homescreen. Menu > Wallpaper I think.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
Yes ;) but then you have two origins to choose: 1-Album or 2.-Wallpaper/Lockscreen gallery.

The first one ("album") doesn't work because it's launching "HTC Album" app and system keeps "Loading" and you must shutdown phone.

Regards, folgui.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
In settings of default "Messages" app -> Menu > Connection settings for MMS. It has a strange apn: hxxp://mms.emome.net:8002 and it is not editable.

I think that is the problem, since in the Mobile Net config > APNs, my MMS settings are "Orange MMS" and all info is correct.

Hope Nathan can look into it.

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buck32:
Changing lock screen wallpaper only works when u select wallpaper gallery not albums as this sends my phone into homescreen startup loop. This i'm assuming is because Album app does not exist. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buck32:
Yeah i agree just checked that out think u may have found the source of the problem. The Name appears to be in chinese as well! :)

Please look into this Nathan many thanks.

First of all, thank you very much for the effort you put into this rom, it really is excellent! But I have one question... Network location is supposed to work, right? For me it works well with all apps that isn't HTC (like google maps, news and weather etc), but never with HTC stuff. I get a FC on com.htc.bgd and my phone seems to think i live in Sarajevo (which i don't) :rolleyes: This has been true for me with every 2.1 sense ROM... And I've followed installtion instructions to the letter.

Hi great rom nathan. I have a question about app2sd, i have activated it. But how i can be sure that the apps are installed on the sd ? Is there a way to check it ?

And if on another rom, there is not app2sd, is there a way to install it ? and how ?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
tony - sorry. Quite honestly, I have never used apps2sd, nor tested it. I just put the functionality there for those that do!

So... maybe someone else is better equipped to answer your question!

Hey, here's an idea - why not - instead of using file sharing site - don't we use torrents as an alternative method of sharing the load of traffic ?

I can't think why we should'nt - make a torrent file in utorrent - or whatever and opload that to the forum ?=

/Smirge
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
You should see it in settings --> sd-card/storage --> Internal storage (should be about 100MB + if apps2sd is activated). I'm not quite shure about the menunames in english, since my system is in another language. But you'll be able to find out yourself. You're a bright, young man - right? LOL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
Hi. This was "theft" from another forum/post/author (I don't know, sorry), only included in my personal tricks.

Hope it helps you.

--- begin ---

To confirm whether A2SD is working properly from a terminal / ADB Shell type:

busybox df -h

You should see something along these lines below:

/dev/block/mccblk0p2 532.9M 67.1M 438.7M 13% /system/sd

The key is that you see one of the entries as /system/sd

This means that the phone is picked up your Ext2 partition.

Next if you see the above you can check that you setup the symlinks properly.

To do this type these cmds:

cd /data/app

pwd

The terminal returns /system/sd/app which means that the apps are now being saved onto the Ext2 Partition since the /system/sd = your Ext2 partition.

If it returns /data/app then the apps are still being installed onto the phone's internal rom.

Hope this helps, let me know if not.

For any 3.0 testers desperate for a calendar, try Calendarpad from the market. It syncs with Google calendar, and seems to work fine :)

It's another workaround, but for me personally, this rom is lightning fast for a sense rom, so the workarounds are acceptable.

messaging timestamp

i been using this rom since i got my hero from ebay but i have one problem. When i use the default messaging client the times are always off. Like it may say when i recieved a message it was 11:42 when in fact it was 11:39 plus the order of the text are out of place. I know there is chomp or handcent but i like the interface of the default one is there a fix? I am using 3.2 beta 5 by the way.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at45:
Hopefully I'm missing something because the answer seems to be that if you think you will need more than 8GB you should get the 16GB card. Right?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platonic:
Thanks for the comment, i mean 8GB or 16GB don't make any delay or problems for using X1?

Atm i put a 8GB SD card in my phone, i Encoded some Music videos and seems there's a problem, The Picture and audio is not matched enough, i mean there is some delay in playing and the audio will play after a while that video played.

Hopfully you got me at the right way.

P.S. sorry for my bad english :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjpeter:
Just to be sure, incase any other newbie reads this thread, you should get a MicroSD card and not just a regular SD - it will not work.

I personally have a 16GB SanDisk MicroSDHC Class 2 card in my X1.

About the music and video not being in sync, it could be you encoded the files at too high a bit rate (in which case you should use the app that's out there that re-encodes at the right rate and resolution for the X1 - it's posted somewhere prominent on this board) or it could be that your card is too slow (which I seriously doubt) in which case it is the Class that matters more than the size. Plus it could also matter what app you are using to play back the files on the phone itself, be it CorePlayer, WMP, or something else. So there are a lot of possible explanations to explore before you blame it on the card.

[HD2 General] Kushmir:
I added a link to the Task Manager by copying the hidden TaskMgr.lnk file from the Windows folder to the Start Menu/Programs folder.

I then decided I wanted it in a different position and added another quick link to another position.

I then wanted to remove the first link, and attempted to do this using 'Remove Quick Links', however this does not work for the Task Manager (it does work for other links.)

I then tried deleting the TaskMgr.lnk file from the Programs folder, and then removing the Quick Link, this also did not work.

I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how to remove it.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] quantumandy:
May have to go into the registry:

"To remove some stubborn shortcuts which cannot be deleted, go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Home and blank out the DispName, ExePath and IconPath in the relevant numbered folders to the shortcut you want to remove. Also change IsSet to 0."

Taken from the tweak thread at the top of this board. This is to remove extra links if you use the 4x4 tweak. I see no reason that it shouldn't work here though.
[HD2 General] Kushmir:
quantumandy,

Thank you so much for that. Doing that did not allow me to remove it, but I was able to select a different icon, which replaced it.

Thanks for your help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] emmazee:
The wall charger that came with my unlocked ATT Fuze has a loose wire and will not charge the phone. When I hold the wire a certain way it charges the phone and when I let it go it stops. Anyone know where I can get another wall charger that will work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] roloracer:
if you're asking what other phone charger works with the Fuze, a lot of htc phones use the same plug, like the htc dash/excalibur, tilt/kaiser, G1/dream, you can also use Motorola's Razr, Risor, Pebl, and even Blackberry's use the same plug. I think you shouldn't have a problem with such a small issue.

'til you get a charger, how about you use a usb cable and charge it on your pc!:cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] emmazee:
Thanks for the information on the various chargers available, Roloracer. I'm pretty new at all this, so I appreciate the advice. Also, I'm charging my phone right now with the usb cable per your suggestion. Much appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] derelict:
there is this really cool site called Ebay that has a lot of this kinda stuff ...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Fred Doolie:
Look for one of those little transformers that plug into the wall and have a standard usb socket on them. With that and your regular USB cable you should be ok.

One came with my camera and another came with my bluetooth earphone. Do you have a camera that charges through a mini-usb? Maybe that charger would work.

How about THIS for a charger?

[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
I've got a small collection of files I'd like to package (dund, chat, a couple of scripts).

On any other OS I'd just stick it in whatever package management system is in use but I'm finding the documentation to apk's to be very sparse - it just says 'use eclipse' but as there is no java component (I might make a gui one day but I wrote this to get my tomtom working not with anyone else in mind really) and everything requires root access I really don't see how.

Ideally I'd want to just be able to do 'adb install xxx' and it would copy the files to the right place, set the init script to run on boot, and be sorted.. I can't be the first person to want to do that, surely?
[Nexus One General] olearyp:
The APK format is designed for traditional apps. When you install an APK it pretty much just moves the file to /data/app, and performs a few other maintenance tasks. There's no control over what happens to the files inside.

What you describe is usually done from an update.zip flashed from recovery.

However, if someone wanted to get crazy, one could port ipkg and use that to install arbitrary files to the system, but it would still a two step process (adb push file, adb shell ipkg file). You could even set up an ipkg repository. But this is probably overkill.
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
Hmm... probably won't bother then. Probably not enough people interested be worth the time.. it's a bit of a niche app (tomtoms have wierd requirements for their DUN stuff so they're a bit of a git to get working).

I was having a play with getting X working, it seemed a nice easy way to get it working would be to run a vncserver in the chroot environment and then on the phone run a vncviewer. I saw others mention stuff about vnc with debian/android so I guess I'm not the only one to have tried this.

I get a problem when trying to run "vncserver" as non root (it works as root) "vncserver: socket failed: Permission denied". I guess its trying to bind to port 5901, so not sure what its beef is... something Android specific maybe?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Requiem87:
Just wondering, what do you achieve by installing Debian on your phone? Is this in addition to the android rom or instead of? Is it a graphical Debian or command line only, and what can you do with it?

I apologise for my ignorance, but I am quite new to Linux and Android
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Driskol:
To solve this step, you must run the vncserver with sudo. Add your user (or user by default) to sudoers with visudo in qemu or using nano if u like :)

Also, u can just edit the sudoers with a notepad in your pc and umount the sd partition.

I have the VNC running with lxde, but now i can't try it again with the mem patch cuz cyano b4 doesnt have the chroot binary and others :|

Are both, Android and Debian chrooted :)

U have a "full" working X server through vnc :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetlee:
I wanted to run the server as a non root user for the usual good operations reason, so sudo doesnt really help with that :) I wonder if its some SELinux like thing stopping.

Under debian (on phone) I tried doing "netcat -l 5901" which fails with "Can't get socket : Permission denied". I then tried this under qemu on my desktop which worked, so it looks like its something on Android block normal users from binding to ports.

Might be able to allow this in a config, but not sure where to find it - no sign of any of the usual SELinux stuff within android.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Driskol:
Trust me, that was the only way i found to make vncserver work into a chrooted env. :P

But, wheres the problem by running vncserver as sudo?

U will operate as a normal user, not su everytime :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetlee:
It does run it as root. Easy example is if you do "sudo whoami" it gives you root :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Driskol:
sure, but once u run vncserver as sudo, vncserver still in background and if u open a terminal u are user, not su :)

If you have never used linux before (besides android) i would suggest not even trying this. Read through the instructions, if most of it makes no sense, don't even try this. I have been using linux for about a year now, and i am not going to even try this.

solved it creating a sockets group :

Create a user with adduser username. You must also create a group with numeric ID 3003 and add yourself to it, otherwise vncserver's sockets will be blocked! So,

addgroup --gid 3003 sockets
usermod -G sockets -a [I]username[/I]
