[HD2 General] gregormax:
Ok, so you can install Flash for Opera but it sucks - it makes the phone unstable and slow. However it would be great if you could do the same thing you can do on the iPhone - that is whenever there's a YT movie you see the play icon but when you click on it it opens the YT app and it runs the movie in it not in the browser. Is there a way to do the same thing on HD2 with Opera?
[HD2 General] Bangonthedoortwice:
I don't know about Opera as it isn't my fave, but install Skyfire and abra kadabra Youtube and other streaming sites work fine ;)
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
Yes go to the mobile version of youtube which is.... m.youtube.com
[HD2 General] gregormax:
That's not what I'm looking for I think I was misunderstood. Sometimes when you read a page there is a YT movie embedded on it. On the iPhone you can click on it and watch it in the YT application. Here all you have is the border of the movie with no info. So you even don't know the URL of the movie and as result you cannot watch it (well you'd have to view the code of the page and search for the URL).
[HD2 General] paulking:
install skyfire, its much better so long as you don't mind not being able to pinch zoom.
[HD2 General] gregormax:
I don't like Skyfire's interface. I'll just have to wait for Opera 10 - if it supports pinch zoom cuz now (in Beta 2) it doesn't...
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
When you go to m.youtube.com you are provided with thumbnail of the video clips. Tap on it and the video automatically plays in the built in HTC youtube application full screen.
[HD2 General] gregormax:
I got it ;). But I was writing about the situation when a video is embedded on some other site than youtube - like toucharcade.com for instance...
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
ah ok mister :)
[HD2 General] zabique:
OH come on ... You mean Redtube?
[HD2 General] Raspster:
What you are talking about only works in IE built in on the HD2. I just did it and it worked fine. Check out this short video I just made with it working in IE on the HD2.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jYfbI-916g
[HD2 General] gregormax:
No - I meant embedded video files on websites like here for instance: http://prowokacje.com.pl - as you can see if you open this website in Opera you won't be able to view embedded YT videos. As I can see it should work in IE (video in the post above) but IE sucks ;). I'd like to see the same feature in Opera or Opera opening YT movies in the YT app.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
Search for fixoperaflash
[HD2 General] gregormax:
As I already said in the first post fixoperaflash makes the phone unstable and it freezes the browser. YT movies work muuuuch better in the YT app. Ok, I see there's no resolution of my problem right now so I'll wait for Opera 10 with Flash and pinch zoom.
[HD2 General] Raspster:
I am also looking for the answer to this. Some cooked ROM's have this working. I know that the stock t-mobile one will NOT do this weather its the mobile youtube or full version in opera. There must be some reg edit that makes this possible. I know IE on the HD2 will do this properly out of the box but I don't use IE for browsing the web on the HD2.
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
do you know which cooked ROM can do this? I would also really be interested to have external youtube app opening up Opera links. thanks.
[HD2 General] Meiyo:
Ok so I still don't have the HTC HD2 , will probably get it .

I was wondering if the windows live messenger works , I have not seen any one talking about , or showing it on video .​
[HD2 General] Meiyo:
Still

Woow still nothing ... anyone ?
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Windows live messenger works fine on the HTC HD2. You can use the official windows live messenger app or 3rd party apps such as palringo.
[HD2 General] Meiyo:
Thank you

Thank you for the replay , I would like to see how it works though , if you could do a video ?

If you can't then there is no problem , thanks !:)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Just made a quick video, uploading to youtube as we speak.
[HD2 General] Bangonthedoortwice:
After coming from a Google G1 (rooted) phone and having everything work so smoothly, (ebuddy. msn) i installed messenger on my HD2 and it sucks, big time. maybe this is me? what i am used to? well, real time conversations just like on a pc, but now its like sending a message? it's terrible.
[HD2 General] Meiyo:
Wow thank you so much !
[HD2 General] Meiyo:
Hmm you said installed ? Isn't it already installed ? Maybe that's why . But what do I know .

Maybe it's even because you have more than one app opened , or something ?
[HD2 General] mofei1:
heres the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb8rTm_be6g
[HD2 General] Meiyo:
Thank you so much for doing this , seems to be nice and smooth . Now I really want to get the htc hd2 .

Thanks again :D
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dennerkcoal:
It's Possible???
[Touch HD General] pierce97:
I'm running WM 6.5, and about half the times I plug the phone into the computer I lose all my data that is synced with Outlook. If I go into WMDC, the white check mark boxes next to "Contacts, Calendar, Email, Tasks, Notes, and Mobile Favorites" are unchecked, and it will not allow me to check them. Then, when I look at my phone the information is all gone. When this happens I have gone into Outlook and created a new .PST, and it resyncs with no problems.

This happens when WMDC is already open when I plug in the phone, and when it isn't. It seems random.

I hope this makes sense! Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Wendy
[Touch HD General] pierce97:
anyone? It just happened again and it is driving me crazy!!!
[Touch HD General] mightbme:
Have you tried uninstalling WMDC and reinstalling it again?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeg05:
When I'm listening to music through my car speakers and receive a call or text message I lose all audio. The only way I can get it to come back is to reboot. I've seen similar problems while searching for solutions but haven't found any fixes yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Nexus One General] donalgodon:
I am interested to know the language capacity of the Nexus One.

1.) Do you know if it supports dual language use, such as both English and Spanish simultaneously or via a quick switch? I send about half my messages in English and the other half in Spanish. Does the voice to text feature support dual language use?

2.) Does the speech to text feature function over EDGE or only 3G?

3.) What about OTA updates to Android? How are they sent to the phone? The networks here are largely EDGE/GSM based, but the Nexus is not "officially" supported. Will I be able to get the software updates for the Nexus One as they are released by Google?

I am sure that this affect many people who travel internationally as well, so I am sure that somehow, this question is bound to surface.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobobalo:
First of all, a hello, and thank you, to this forum. You guys have a ton of great content, and I'd be completely sunk without this site.

Anway, here's my issue.

1) My friend had a G1, it worked great, activated on his t-mobile data plan.

2) He gave it to me, but first, he did a factory reset on it. This was unfortunate, as it was on cupcake, with RC33, and I, and everybody I know, lack a data plan.

3) I downgraded to the old android, and RC29, so I could WiFi activate.

4) I activated it successfully via WiFi, but it quickly developed a tendancy to randomly shut down, all the time, unless it was on a charger.

5) Figuring this was somehow caused by the downgrade, I decided to root, and update to a later version.

6) I settled on Cyanogen, and installed it.

7) Now, I'm stuck back at the "touch the android to begin" screen, and in my original dilemma. The <enter>reboot</enter> command doesn't work, now, as it did on RC29. This confuses me. Why is cyanogen, an OS all about customizing, not allowing me to activate via wifi, or have that good old hidden terminal? How do I activate via wifi, on cyanogen?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
If you are running Cyanogen, just touch the android and skip the activation procces...all custom roms have that option.

If you dont get that option, then you are not running Cyanogen. As simple as that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobobalo:
Hey, thanks. Yeah, I just sort of gave up hope when I saw the "touch the android" thing, and couldn't use the old RC29 method.

Sure, enough, it was there, I got wifi on, and am now activated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Dont worry, i went throught the exact same thing xD I took like 2 hours to decide to touch de Android and find that there was that option lol

Im gald i could help you :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobobalo:
My happiness is short lived.

I thought cyanogen would fix it, but my phone just started with the random shutdowns again.

It was first triggered when I updated, and attempted to run google maps.

I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, or if reinstalling cyanogen, and avoiding google maps like a plague, might stop thi form happening.

Any insights?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolokotok:
help

how can I activate it later after using the skip method?

I can connect to a wifi spot in school. then what? If I open the market app, It would promt me to register an account, But I always get errors even If I'm already connected to wifi.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
Just as soon as i figure out how to make an update.zip i will post instructions on how to do this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Added it to the CDMA Hero Guides wiki article.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
dang you beat me to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
Not sure why, but had to run dos2unix on the the first script, not sure if it is all of them, but it was giving me the error

dos2unix took care of the issue. Also Thanks for the guide, greatly appreciated!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
make sure you run the script with the "./" , also you may need to chmod +x the files.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
Is there a way to get this to run on the Emulator? I tried to specify the zImage after I compiled it but it won't boot when specifying it. Or will that not work for the HTC zImage?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Excellent guide. Can't wait to try it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
Check out this link
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
Thanks will have a look. Seems to be the Android kernel and not the HTC kernel though, but will read further into it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
not sure but i think this will work for you

# emulator -kernel /path/to/your/zImage
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeedzABetterSN:
First script didn't work for me on ubuntu. Copying and pasting line by line works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
i'll repack the scripts again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
that's what i tried... emulator never runs when i specify that zImage :( it built successfully.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] miamicanes:
Has anybody tried this yet with Ubuntu running under VMware on a PC running Windows? I know that (in theory) VMware's USB compatibility is spectacularly good (it somehow manages to give the guest OS direct ownership and control of the host PC's USB root hub), but up to now I've only tried it to run XP/32 under Vista/64 and Windows 7/64.

FYI, you can download VMware player for free (as in beer) and use it to run Ubuntu 9.04 with their complete blessing. Just make sure you download a guest OS that configures the hardware (memory, cpu, etc) the way you want it to be, because changing the hardware config is one of the few things you genuinely can't do with the free player. If someone here has the full version (and can find somewhere to host it so the bandwidth charges didn't eat him alive), he could even create an Ubuntu distro that's already set up and configured to build Android kernels for others here to download and use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
To use the first script: open up Synaptics, then download "tofromdos". Now, run "fromdos createAndroidRepo.sh", and it should work then :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
ROM?

Can someone post how to compile a kernel, and make a ROM, and put it all together in a update.zip? Would be really REALLY nice!

Jason(bikcmp)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Thanks for this guide :) I'm compiling a kernel right now :) Just a question, how do I change the kernel version name... like you did in that one screenshot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
Its coming
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
its in general options in menuconfig.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
Working on getting the scripts executable. Will update first post when done
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
Misunderstood?

I don't think you got me on that one; I Mean like, make a version of android with this kernel and make a update.zip with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
I'm working on it. but i just learned how to compile the kernel and thought i would post this how to. So just as soon as i get part one of this working fully with no errors. i will start on a how to for making an update.zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Probably doesn't matter much to anyone, but it should be noted that the repository that the createAndroidRepo.sh sets up and pulls files from is somehwat slow... I'm only pulling at 200ish kb/s when I usually download at around 600+ :( Been downloading for an hour now :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
Is the only difference in menuconfig and xconfig the gui? I like xconfig a little better because it gives a description of each setting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
I would be willing to bet it's the traffic, I was pulling down at over 700 when I ran the script.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
I'm getting 800kb/s down atm...Maybe your ISP is loaded?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Aww. I'm at the part where it lists the branches now... is that almost done? It says like Eclair and Master.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
Ok I fixed the scripts. don't open these files with notepad or any windows text editor

Also i added two commands to step 1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
You can use xconfiig but i compiled this on my server so i used "cli" :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
You should add this to step 1 to make it easier for noobs with the terminal:

su

cd Downloads (or wherever the Scripts.zip downloaded to)

mv Scripts.zip /root/heroc

unzip Scripts.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
The second script... get-CDMAHero-source also needs to be fixed. For the time being, use the "fromdos" method I posted a page or two back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
Currently wifi will not work with the instructions if have provided. I need to figure out how to compile wlan.ko. if anybody has any suggestions i'm all eyes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeedzABetterSN:
So what are the benefits of the new kernel?

Sorry for noob question.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
That needs to be compiled afterward. You need to download the Android source and somewhere in there is the source for the wireless module. You need to compile it against the kernel you just made. If I get time I will post directions on how to do this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Well, as it stands there are no benefits of compiling this kernel. In fact, it may be retroactive since I believe Flipz stated some items were missing from it. However, once we get things together we can optimize it to make the system faster, port it to 2.6.29 to get a working 2.x build, etc. I already have compcache working in my kernel. I just havent committed any changes to the repo. I need to reset that mess of code.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeedzABetterSN:
Thanks for the info. Exactly what I needed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bohiti:
Chuck, I appreciate all you devs do, and will be patient as long as it takes for the first great 2.x ROMs to start rolling out. Wish I had the time and energy to dig in as deep as you folks do.

With that said, whats your gut on getting a 29 kernel compiled and ROMs rolling? Days? Weeks? More? Just curious if I should decrease the frequency that I'm checking this site for the last few days :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
you keep working on that kernel port buddy!!! ;). Seriously i just got that part figured out and will post soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adelaney:
I like the method, flattery then the favor.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Well maejrep has already forward ported some of the stuff for 2.6.27 to .29. He says it compiles but doesnt boot. However this does not give any time table. All in all I would say give it a couple weeks. Considering family and jobs it doesnt give much time for deving. But we are all dedicated so hopefully in a couple weeks. Regardless, here is the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5448925#post5448925
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Ha ha. That's how you're supposed to handle everything. Especially with the ladies if you know what I mean :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
I have updated the first post to include compiling and installing the wlan.ko module
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
Anyone know how to change the cpuinfo_max_freq settings? I got the kernel to build with the freq max at 575000, but it is now being held back by I believe the settings in cpuinfo_max_freq, scaling_max_freq is set to 575000, either way does anyone know how to edit this files, i have tried echo 575000 > cpuinfo_max_freq, doesnt give an error but it doesnt change either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=557863&highlight=overclock

This thread talks about overclocking quite a bit. I tried doing some stuff with this like modifying the tables they mention but nothing worked for me. I only spent a couple minutes on it though. Maybe I'll jump on it again later. Just remember with overclocking there are multiples you must follow. The next multiple we can jump to would be 768,000 Mhz. The Dream folks managed to get it that high but theirs crashes. They think it's a power issue so we might have the same issue. Maybe not. We will just have to try at it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
That'd be pretty awesome if we could (somehow) increase the CPU speed without much of a battery life hit... however, I don't think that's possible. But it would be nice :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
Well at this point I cant get it to go over 528, but it is now dropping to 245 when the screen shuts off and battery life has increased for me, it only dropped 7% in roughly 11 hours with light usage. The issue I am having now is that I have to go back into setcpu to bring it back up to 528, I'm going to try and see if I can find the culprit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Found another error in the directions for compiling:

at here:

you need to change the path that I bolded to /root/heroc/ or say that you need to run "cd .." and then "cd myandroid" to get into the correct direcotry where you run "make menuconfig".

I have a question though... I'm running Java version 1.6, and according to my TErminal, I need to be running Java 1.5 to compile the menuconfig. Is there anyway I can tell "make" to ignore the Java version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
If you logged in as root. The ~/ will assume /root/. As far as your question I would remove java 1.6 using apt. or you might try this

sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-1.5.0-sun
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yeah. I tried using the table patch they had in that Dream thread and changed it to 768000, as defined by the multiplers. It didnt seem to work as I had the same issue. It dropped to 245 and I couldnt bring it back up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Well for me, that ~/ didn't work (I'm also in Ubuntu 9.10), but that shouldn't make a difference. Maybe just mention that in case someone has the same problem. And I'll try that command you just posted. Thanks!

EDIT

The command did not work because I don't have a java-1.5.0 directory... I'm assuming because I installed Ubuntu 9.10 which never had 1.5.0?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
If you used the createRepo script, it should have installed java. if you already have java installed check out this link

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

Also when i refer to being logged in as root i mean running su and inputing your root password. if you are using sudo then you should log in as root. i will update the first post anyhow
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
to use the stock wlan.ko. u can simply just use this in ur .config. thanx goes to maejrep. hes the man.

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-533ce29d"

# CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set

if u want powermanagment go to menuconfig and select>

[*] CPU Frequency scaling >

<*> 'powersave' governor'

then bam powermanagement works and ur battery wont be dead before u get off work. enjoy :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
You need to add jaunty repositories.

then apt-get update, uninstall jdk1.6, apt get jdk 1.5, then remove the jaunty repos. Dont run the included scripts with jaunty repos in your config! I hate uboobtu :)

@OP - nice thread. Not exactly how i would do things, but you've made it pretty damn easy for those that want to get their feet wet. kudos.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
also you can go into kernel hacking and turn off debuging. It will speed up the boot. but it can cause the phone to reboot if something crashes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
im a dev i use debugging all the time ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
I do to, but some ppl will want the faster load time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Sorry to bring this back from the dead guys, I just got my Linux box back up and didn't have a change to join in the fun until now.

-After the createAndroidRepo script runs, it asks me for Name and Email over and over again, have to exit terminal to go any farther.

Any ideas on that??

I have had some oober weird issues since I reinstalled Karmic. Like having to go get ia32 Libs to get adb to run.....Last install, it just worked, this one is kicking my butt for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
I've heard some nasty stuff about 9.10 & I know plenty of people that backed out it to go back 9.04.

And it appears to be able to compile on 9.04 easier due to the update of the repos.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
Thanks, my first how to. I am a newb when it comes to android but i have been fooling around with linux since fedora was called redhat and there there was no RedHat Enterprise. So yeah its hacked up a little but it gets the job done. Also it was put together by mostly other peoples work. so most of the credit should go to them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I have 9.10 and I wouldnt go back to jaunty. Karmic is amazing. Fast as hell dude. I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic and had issues. But then I started over and it is great. Def wipe but go with Karmic.
