[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
to create a nandroid backup you need the custom recovery image, period.

not sure what you are talking about bootloader and spl, that stuff is not related to the recovery image. to change the spl you need the custom recovery aswell.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uniqron:
SPL ≠ recovery ≠ bootloader.

Bootloader is an actual part of the software, that loads the OS.

recovery, like the Amon Ra 1.5.2. recovery, is a toolkit to flash and manage your hardware / software. Something like a BIOS in a regular computer, with added ability to partition, flash other parts of the phone, or like you wanted: to backup the ROM entirely.

SPL is something that operates before the bootloader: Secondary Program loader; the small lead-in to it. Hero phones however (tested with the GSM version, test sample: 2 phones) have no limitation so no need for special SPL's for most roms / recovery's. Using a non updated or not most recently updated HTC RUU, you can use Flashrec 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 to get the Amon RA recovery effortless.

I believe, correct me if I'm wrong: That the CID lock, which is the SIM-lock, is on SPL level. However, this should not interfere with one of the other three. It simply allows you (or rather denies) to use a certain SIM card and register on certain networks.

Disclaimer: I'm not an Android guru. I only recently looked into this matter. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Additionally, read the Wiki's:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sandis84:
But for some reason I cant make a nandroid backup with my phone at its current state, so something must be done.

Thank you very much!

Correct me if Im wrong, but does not Flashrec actually flash the recovery on my phone? Preferable I would like to just load it once to create a nandroid-backup, so nothing is changed on the phone.

Also, if I want to do it on the most recent HTC RUU, must I root the phone then? Or is there some other way?

Another question: Heros that are produced today, do they have this lastest HTC RUU that flashrec does not work on?

Cheers,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
1: you can always fastboot into recovery, without flashing it

2: flashrec exploits a bug in 2.6.27 kernel. It's not linked to RUU.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sandis84:
Hi! Just to clarify: I want to fastboot into a custom recovery that allows nandroid. This isnt always possible without some effort, is it? Because I failed with some error message on my first attempts, as described in my first post.

Anyhow, I tried to use flashrec and it worked. However, it flashed the recovery image on my computer. This is not what I wanted. I would also like an easy solution that works for the version av Hero that flashrec does not work for.

I then tried to change the SPL as described in to "update-hero-hboot-1.76.2007-signed". After this I tried running "fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img". This worked. However, I am unsure if it worked because I changed SPL or becuase I already had changed the recovery image with flashrec. Could someone clarify this for me? I really want to understand this before I dare help my friends with their phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
this is correct. from some softwarelevel (2.73.110.26?) upwards you can not fastboot a recovery image.

in fact it is too late for that. you can try to get the original recovery image and flash it over the custom image, but i don't see the benefit for that.

AFAIK fastbooting of the recovery works now because you already have the custom recovery image (which you got through flashrec), so yes, flashing the spl was unnecessary.

tbh i wouldn't mess with that stuff more, you have a good setup now, any unnecessary flashing (especially of the spl) brings the danger of bricking your phone...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
You are wrong! ;)

CID Lock ≠ SIM Lock

The CID lock (carrier id) prevents you from flashing a different carriers ROM to your device (i.e. a ROM with a different CID). The SIM lock prevents you from using a different carriers SIM in your device.

HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC II PORT.

I am amazed that noone gave info about that project here already(yup, i know, titanium is more important...but..).

Finally, someone MADE port that works.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2 is there.

Not just another failed attempt, just port very similar to original homm2.

Forget about ridiculous ideas of EMULATING x86 to have homm2 now.

Authors site:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fheroes2

Additional information

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fheroes2/index.php?title=Main_Page

You need pc homm2 files placed in adequate folders, obviously.

Status(imo): playable and NICE on 4.y.o. XSCALE device with 21054.

Look into game cfg to set resolution for your device/other options.

It is nice to see that someone is still developing something different than wm6.5/7/iphone/android promo bulb****.

Anyway, have fun, game's working great so far.

Custom made maps should work too.

Sorry, no time for sshots, post some, if you are satisfied, readers, plz.

Let people know.

GUI DIFFERS on qvga and other resolutions.

Thank you for your attention.

upd: madness, 180 views and ZERO interest.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
Small bump - actual subversion gives GREAT update(look at options screen).

This port is outstanding.

----

btw, i also can recommend perfect Dungeon Master port for winmo, really.

small request for polish users...again:

someone, please post info about this port on pdaclub.pl and mobione.pl.

cheerz,

nothin.

Does anyone have the links that T-Mobile REMOVED from the Settings folder?!

Sheesh - I like the new ROM and SENSE, but they DELETED the contents of the Settings folder, which means that all the old settings things - like being able to get into the data connections and similar - are ALL GONE!

Anyone got just the links? It looks like the actual programs are still there... but the links were killed.

I am curious to know if there is way to set a sleep/stop timer in Windows media player mobile ? Everything is good with it except this feature.

Hi,

I am wondering why there ain't any working answering machine's for wm yet ? iSecretary was one which I guess is not working in wm6.5. Does anyone else know more about it ? I understand it might be duplicate thread, but since there's no latest posts on any of them I opened up new one hopping to catch eyes of u ppl....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] reverendkjr:
Actually, there is an answering machine. Its awesome too. I got it free from my carrier. If I don't answer my phone after like 4 rings, it picks up and takes a message for me. Then, after it beeps and lets me know theres a message, I push a few buttons and a can listen to them. Then I can delete them, and start all over!

I can't seem to remember what its called though. Hmm....

Maybe someone else can help me with figuring out the name of this?

;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SDreamer:
Wow, never thought about this, this would be really nice. It would be a good way to get voice mails recorded since it would be locally stored and not server stored like voice mail. I'd really like to know if their is one in circulation.

Edit: Apparently it's impossible due to hardware limitations of HTC phones, and seems Gigabyte's phone is the only one that can do it. More information here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rudegar:
guess the reason for lack of more options is that most operators today offer answering machine at the operator end so it works even if the phone is off
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rbncha:
like I mentioned already iSecretary worked fine until wm6.5 even in HTC. I used it in my HTC Fuze with wm 6.1. But it doesn't work in wm6.5. I don't know why. My operator doesn't give such voice message service for free. I am searching for a software like iSecretary that works with wm6.5.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rbncha:
seems nobody is interested in my post ???
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arrrghhh:
Use google voice then, it's free and works when your phone is off. Since your provider doesn't give you voicemail, you should be able to use GV as your voicemail provider - heck, Sprint gives me voicemail for free, but I still have GV setup as my primary voicemail. For free, Sprint has a deal with Google.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ccbroman:
you could try YouMail.com, i have it and its free for the basic service which is voicemail. you can customize the voicemail greeting also, its great, i get a laugh everytime....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rbncha:
both YouMail.com and Google Voice doesn't support my country yet. Is there any software that works like answering machine ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arrrghhh:

Doesn't anybody give interest to make an answering machine like iSecretary ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
I too would like an answer-phone software & I'm surprised HTC never made the most of this issue & resolved the hardware problems & bundled an answer-phone software of it's own.

[General Topics] Shasarak:
It depends what you're doing with it, obviously. I'm keeping 3G turned on in a weak signal area, checking for stock updates every 5 minutes, weather updates every 15, internet time sync on, Location service on, push email enabled for an exchange server and for a hotmail account, and checking for emails on an ISP account every 5 minutes. That lot uses up 4% of battery per hour in stand-by.

If you're not doing that much, obviously your battery will last longer. :) If I turn all of that lot off so the data connection isn't being used at all, turn off 3G, sever the data connection, and have it do nothing at all except listen out for phone calls and text messages, then it'll go down only 4% in 9 or 10 hours.

Conversely, before I did my last hard reset, I twice saw it go from 100% to zero in less than 9 hours while in stand-by all the time. :eek: I still haven't quite worked out what it was I installed that did that! Task manager and 1% battery icons, maybe....

[General Topics] altec1000:
fake.

This year Qualcomm produces the 1.3 ghz snapdragon which is 30% more powerful AND uses 30% less battery than the 1 ghz version. I think that will be the next processor. 1800 mAh capacity is heavy. 4.5 inch screen could be but the device should not be bigger than the HD2. LTE is too early I think.

1 GB ram and rom, 8 megpixel camera, HDMI, USB 2.0 is plausible.
