If you've only got 3 devices you want to access on your network, is not worth putting them all on static IPs...?

and if you want to use the same devices on other networks? if he is using windows it is a major PITA to change from static to dhcp address, so he might want to leave it dhcp all the time...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hagenlund:
1) what do you think is most important when you're choosing ROMs?

2) what kinds of things disappoint you the most in cooked ROMs?

3) whats your favourite ROM?

my own views on these topics:

1) all good ROMs need to be fast and stable, they have to retain all the functions of the stock ROMs, and they need to have general aesthetic appeal.

a really great ROM needs to do all of that, and it needs to use the

amazing hardware in an innovative fashion that highlights the strengths of the device.

2) before my Leo i used a Diamond, so RAM usage was definately an issue.

if a chef removes a usefull function, that's also not good.

my biggest disappointment with XDA ROMs is probably UI design, though. some chefs have really strange ideas about aesthetics, in my opinion.

I say if you can't make something that's prettier than stock, then don't.

3) Prolly Energy or Lightshadow. Just got my Leo, so I haven't really checked out all the options yet.

reason for asking:

I wanna start cooking ROMs in the near future, and if whatever I end up cooking has some general appeal, that would be kinda inspiring. Maybe I have some preconceptions that could use challenging, as well.
[HD2 General] QC_MDA:
I got a HD2 two days ago and I'm over the moon, I love it! However, there's one thing that's bugging me.

I want to be able to switch back to the built-in video player if I have to pause the video and navigate away to another application. I know this is possible with the Task Manager but I'd like to do it from a shortcut in Quick Links.

This is what I've done so far:

1) Created a shortcut in the built in File Explorer to "My Device\Windows\HTCVideoPlayer.exe"

2) Moved the shortcut to "My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Multimedia\"

3) Added a Quick Link to HTC Video Player (which now appears in the Programs list)

Despite completing the above steps when I open a video, pause it, navigate away to another application, tap the Video Player Quick Link, it doesn't switch back to the video. Instead, it kills the app completely and it no longer appears in Task Manager.

I'm probably being a bit ambitious by wanting to do this but it would be great to get it working.

Can anyone help with this?

Many thanks in advance.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] htc fan89:
hey,

I'm currently using lg eve and i'm really interested by htc sense UI and I was wondering is it worth buying since the processor is only 528 MHz plus is the multi touch on the hero similar to the iphone?

-someone might have asked this same question i couldn't find it-(lazy)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xsirhc6x:
lol, i wouldnt have the nexus one ( 1 Ghz) if i could. I love the hero so much, its perfect haha. well, with an update coming in mid february, it will hopefully be perfect;p

id say go for it

and it has capacitive touch screen, so its basically the same sensitivity as the ipodtouch/iphone.

and in browser, 2 finger pinch to zoom, is "almost" as smooth as in the iphone...

if your deciding between iphone/hero... go with the hero, multitasking pwns:D

The sense UI doesn't work for me. I don't need 7 homescreens and it slows my phone down. Pleeaase don't compare it to the iPawn. they're two completely different things. but I should tell you that multitouch is enabled by HTC it soesn't work natively in android 1.5, it only works in the browser and in albums

edit: but after the update to 2.0 it will support multitouch!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wrsg:
in my opinion, no its not worth the money i paid, however i have bought one, and will keep it for a while.

you'd be far better off getting a G1 and flashing it to the latest 2.1 rom.

[HD2 General] lumbard:
Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the noob question I did search but... Anyway, I know there used to be a thing called UC that worked on my old Kaiser, but what is there to quicky restore my email settings (inc install of unsigned cert), facebook and twitter. I know about things like PIM backup and Myphone but they only seem to do actual content rather than the settings themselves.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HD2 General] the_b00gyman:
I would like to know too, the WIFI Settings you can easlily set via prov.xml or with _setup.xml and makecab, but for twitter and facebook I am still searching, too
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi, as far as i know uc is cooked into custom roms, i dont know if it can be used standalone. but as a start you can search for 'sashimi', a tool that restores email and other setting, maybe its able to restore facebook and co. too. it does a lot more stuff, you will see when you look at the results of your search for it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
Hi all, i just brought a A-DATA Micro SDHC 16GB Class6. After i flash in Modaco 3.1 rom i wanted to enable apps2sd. But its say a2sd permission denied & a2sd success.

Thou it say a2sd success, but my apps still install on my hero.

Can someone help me out? what should i do to make it able to install on my micro sdhc.

And now i currently with Amon Ra recovery 1.3.2, how to upgrade to 1.5.2? Any simplfied way?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
You need to have your SD card partitioned properly. Also A2SD is automatic so you dont need to do anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
i partition ext2 & upgraded to ext4 already. it shown success. i dont know which method i done wrong...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
idk how you did it, hopefully with the recovery image menu. then you did it right.

what you did wrong was executing a2sd manually. all you need to do is partition your card and flash mcr3.1, that's why it says "automatic" in the description.

instructions for upgrading the recovery image are in the first post of the recovery image thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
i do it auto & the apps doesnt install on the sd card that y i do it manually >.<"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
i just do a wipe & re flash everything but when i install apps it still use my phone internal memory.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lord Lucan:
Some people say that small chunk of app is still installed in phone.

But I think only small chunk is installed in sd card but large portion is left with phone memory.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
mine all in internal memory -.-"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
can you tell us what makes you come to this conclusion?

please post the output of

adb shell ls -l /data/app

and

adb shell mount

while the phone is turned on normally.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
edit: remove of image as is wrong command
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
As for my recovery upgrade i was just able to flash to recovery 1.5.2 already. due to ext4 issue after i follow the code: tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

when i free will re-flash modaco 3.1 to try the a2sd again. hope i able to do it this time...

Would like to know after flashing rom, was it normal that my hero keep on reboot non-stop? should i remove the battery? or should i wait?(so far i always remove the battery as the reboot will never end after more then 30mins-1hour)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
you didn't get the first command right, please try again just to make sure. the output of "adb mount" tells us that you have an ext4 partition on your card, which is mounted to /system/sd. the first command (if entered correctly) will most probably show you that /data/app (where apps are installed) is a symbolic link to /system/sd (a.k.a. your ext4 partition). if you had searched for the problem this would not have been necessary... and you could have found the explanation why the internal memory is still decreasing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
Hope this is the correct command:

As i just do a re-flash mdc 3.1 on recovery v1.5.2.

now i still unable to install app in my sdcard as my internal memory is keep on reducing while i install apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
somehow i get the feeling that you are trying to **** with me, so i am going to stop responding here :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
Hi kendong2, i dont mean to **** around but as my internal memory is keep reducing as i installing apps. :confused:

i go setting sd card & phone memory. after i flash the mdc 3.1 the phone memory is show as 151mb. but after i install some apps it now shown 137mb. so i use the widget of internal memory it show 28mb of 165mb was used. was it my phone status & the internal memory widget error? im confuse now...

so sorry if i pissed you, as im not expert on all this. i was just simply follow the method on website. i just do a step by step as i dont know the step stand for what use... & im not well educated too, so sometime some part i dont understand. but i willing to read & learn so i post my question to ask so in future i will understand it... as much as im able to...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jbwebster706:
Hi all, I was wondering if there was anyone here who has or atleast heard of anyone that has the TV Out Cable. I was interested and needed to know if the FM radio function worked with the cable plugged in?

Also, if I was using a touchscreen computer monitor, could my touches control my TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] fone_fanatic:
I just tried using the tv out cable and it doesn't work with the FM radio. Still asks to plug in headset. Also tried the adapter and you need to plug in the headset as well. Plugged in 3.5mm headset and working now.

as for the touch screen. i dont think you'll be able to because the touch screen computer monitors need to send a signal back to the device to let it know where your touching.

BUT what you could do is install a software on your pc like Soti Pocket Controller, i think theres similar software thats free, then control your device via your pc from that software.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mrrussd3:
the tv out cable does not work with raido and i am glad i was given 30 days to return it is worthless for this phone but it is suposed to be`able to use on future htc phones
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] marmotabassriderx:
no the touchscreen will not work simply because you need a conection between the touchscreen itself not the display, touchscreens use two conections, one for the display and one for the touch input, so if you was to plug the display adapter to the phone, where are you going to plug the touch input? now... im working on a carpc and i was thinking it would be cool to use my phone as a frontend, since everything is mobile and so convinient, but i need my touchscreen to control my phone, so i need somewhat what i used to have for my omnia, which is a program that displays the phones screen on your pc monitor and you can use your mouse and keyboard to control your phone, since my touchscreen replaces the mouse, voila! it could happen, but i cant remember the name of the program and cant seem to find the htc equivalent, now somobody help!? lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] sirphunkee:
Sounds like you want MyMobiler. Free, gives direct control of your phone through mouse/keyboard (or whatever you have that replaces them), in a scalable window.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] RobTsintas:
That's what I was going to suggest. I use MyMobiler all the time, and it's awesome.

BUT: While it's fine for normal phone use and presentations, it's no good for video or games, because the refresh rate is low. That's where the TV out cable would be more appropriate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] starshooter10:

a tad bit laggy but if you connect your phone to your computer with it, you can then use the touch screen on you computer to control the cell

I will be able to use it for PowerPoint presentations (and to show YouTube videos) at work. Video resolution isn't bad on a 40" HDTV and doesn't lag. I use MyMobiler all the time on my desktop and laptop PCs, but this adds yet another ability to my awesome Tilt 2. :D

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Skyjay:
Hey all. I've been using my AT&T Kaiser for a while now using eOS 4.888 Fre WMo 6.1 after having some wicked slowdown issues with the stock HTC rom. Well, I turn my phone on to tomtom this morning and I get an error: could not find maps.

Turns out I go into my storage card folder, and most of the folders are renamed with characters and foldernames that should not exist! For example: "¦¦

Éq¦.ü" and "ê¦"+8	.LíX" when they used to be things like Skype and Tools. Even files on the card are subject to a similar issue. However folders like DCIM, and Program Files are left untouched. (possibly because they are in use)

Windows or total commander cannot enter the folders, and I get blank for filer results underneath. Nor has removing the card and doing a soft reset on the phone, the folders are actually renamed to this non-standard names.

Has anybody seen this before? Is this indicative of a bad SDHC? (I am using a Kingston 4gb) or a virus, or a bad rom install? Searching for keywords has yielded no results.

Any suggestions guys?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stuntdouble:
Did you flash without removing your card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Skyjay:
No, I pulled the card like the instructions said. My flash was done weeks ago just before the new year.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Flash memory is easily corruptible could have been taking the card out while being read or just happened...

What you mention with the funky characters has been mentioned before.

Anyway copy the data you can save pictures etc to computer and format the card a good tool http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Skyjay:
I don't like that just happened option, but I suppose such is the nature of the medium. You're sure this is pretty much a corruption issue and nothing else, say bad programming?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stuntdouble:
Definitely sounds like it's corrupted somehow. While "just happens" can be used to cover all bases, it's usually because the card has been placed near some unseen hazardous source (magnets in speakers, microwave radiation... just a couple of generic off the top of my head). Could also be that there was an electrical spike when your phone was plugged in. Unfortunately there are loads of other reasons and you'll probably never know why.
