[HD2 General] Cass67:
I actually needed to have 3 options in the poll to answer with my exact feelings :)

I like my HD2 and im keeping it

I want Android on my HD2

This thing is Fcking ugly and would not give it room in my pocket

There thats better :D

Im also not sure how much benefit an SSD would be on a phone other than the larger capacity drive for storage .. Im sure we dont tax the flash we have in there for read/writes as it is ..
[HD2 General] gsingh7:
imo this one is ugly.... not sure if its real or fake.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
By the time this is available, WM7 might already be out for the HD2.

The only real difference is Android (if you don't use Wimax). If WM7 is better than Android, then what reason will be there to buy the Supersonic?

And btw.: The buttons at the bottom are super ugly :D
[HD2 General] Archer:
I don't understand people saying it's fugly. Apart from having no hardware buttons, which I think looks better, it's exactly the same as a HD2 (to look at).

Incidentally, it's definitely not fake. It's been posted elsewhere, with different pics and official links.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
It's personal taste, but I hate those buttons. Hardware buttons are much better.
[HD2 General] gsingh7:
i reckon they gonna put power button on top:D
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
I'm holding out for the HTC Obsession....
[HD2 General] Archer:
Totally agree that it's a personal preference thing. I prefer touch sensitive buttons, but like hardware buttons too. I'm just a slag when it comes to buttons - I'll have em all ;)
[HD2 General] Archer:
Nah mate - the power button is inside, under the back cover :p
[HD2 General] lorezz:
if it's real,the only interesting thing is wimax,personally i prefer wm....
[HD2 General] fitnessvip:
i will wait for the hd3 yeaaah
[HD2 General] cubester:
It looks okay. But I kind of prefer the HD2's hardware buttons.

I would never let this replace my HD2 though, I very much prefer having winmo to android. (For now at least)
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
what is ssd test and how it increases the speed
[HD2 General] amang2205:
Where did you see the SSD part? I think you misread something... Actually, take it like this. You won't see anything different from SSD-like technology in mobile phone (every mobile phone)!

It's not possible for storage devices to be connected on an IDE interface. At least not in mobile phones. Otherwise, you'd automatically get a >200g weight.

So if it's a mobile phone, than it has a flash memory. Which is basically what SSD is all about. So from that point of view, it's nothing faster then the HD2...
[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
I looked at android on the Nexus, but I went with WM on the HD2. I'm happy and not changing anytime soon!

I'd like to see some videos of it in action though.
[HD2 General] lorezz:
what are difference between flash mamory and ssd?
[HD2 General] LordLugard:
I've had WinMo for eons and dog tired of it and wouldn't mind Android on a beasty chassis as the HD2. Also us Sprint users are usually shafted when it comes to cool phones (yeah blame it on CDMA) so if this eventually pans out then i'm in, although i was already salivating with envy that T-Mo U.S was getting the WinMo HD2.

Can't wait for it.
[HD2 General] eaglesteve:
THIS is what I've been waiting for.

If Apple does not increase its screen size and resolution before HTC Supersonic is released, then I'll seriously consider switching to this

However, my hesitation would be there if the camera is as bad as Leo's (I'm refering to the pink patch hardware problem), or if the capacitive touch screen accuracy problem is not fixed by then.

Would keep a close eyes on user experience posted to this forum for a while before deciding. If it is as bad as Leo, then forget it.
[HD2 General] lude219:
I'm kind of torn between hardware key and touch keys. Though it makes the phone look more flush with the touch buttons, I've used many touch buttons in the past to know that they're not as responsive as the hardware ones. I used my friend's HD before and the touch keys were sometimes very unresponsive and would lag when pressed.

Overall, I don't know why people are calling it ugly -- it's basically an HD2 shell with touch keys and android. Very nice phones for our android friends.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
I really prefer the HD2's keys personally.

And I don't want android and its total lack of actually useful apps...
[HD2 General] freexx89:
soo people who wanting win7 on their hd2 still want to keep hd2? or move to supersonic ???
[HD2 General] erosennin:
I love my HD2, staying.
[HD2 General] lorezz:
why there aren't news from the mobile world congress about Htc Supersonic....?
[HD2 General] keatre:
Because Sprint, as usual, refuses to "leak" any information to the public. They did however state that a WiMAX device will be coming to the US in 2Q of the year, so right around Summer time (May-June). We can only guess that this device will be the HTC Supersonic.

For us Sprint customers, we can only pray.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
Added a larger flash card to my Tilt2 today.

This may have shown up in another thread.

Considering there are almost 8000 users X however many posts and reply, the possibilities are more than likely beyond exponential, that this may have shown in another post. Excuse me.

A human trying to keep up is probably way over genius, props to them.

Simply. This works.

Connected phone to computer.

When connect dialog appeared on phone, out of three options, select "Disk Drive"

On my computer/desktop create new folder. Name as you would wish.

Copy contents of phone flash card to new folder on PC.

Disconnect phone from PC.

Turn off, shutdown phone.

Remove existing flash card, install new flash card.

Turn on phone,connect to PC, ignore any errors.

When connect dialog appears, select, Disk Drive.

On computer, explore to find removable drive associated with phone, Could be more than one, if you have other thumb drive or external drives attached.

Come on now, this is for noobs. Hoping we now what drives are what.

If we are exploring this far, and are still with this. Right click on selected drive, select format, format FAT 32.

Copy files from new folder on PC back to new flash card.

Restart phone.

Most programs already installed on flash card previously should work, if not reinstall.

I say again. Restart phone after proceedure. Most programs should restore after a restart.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
...??? I only get two options, ActiveSync or Disk Drive :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
Hmm...

Third could be Internet Sharing,

Disk Drive is what you would want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Ahh, gotcha, I don't have that enabled right now. Wasn't going through your steps there, just wasn't sure what option I was missing whenever I connect via USB.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Hey nycny, I think people appreciate how-to's but this really poorly written. I couldn't tell this was a how-to until I read through 75% of the post!

If you want to help, perhaps it's a good idea to have a meaningful thread title? Something like "Guide to format your microSD". Otherwise, nobody will know.

I see you've corrected some spelling errors. But there are still some left! Don't trust the spell check. Read through your own post one time and you'll catch them. Also, it wouldn't hurt to use proper sentences and punctuation to be more clear.

Finally, regarding the topic, the microSD slot is hot-swappable on our devices. You don't have to turn off the device to replace the microSD.

Again, I appreciate you're trying to contribute to the community and you have my thanks. But nobody is pointing a gun at you, so don't rush when writing your how-to.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] alienmonkey:
I recently flashed with Cyanogen's mod, and did a titanium backup of apps prior to flashing, but the backup seems broken, since when I try to restore apps I get a "There is a problem parsing the package" message.

I'm looking for a specific AtHome Theme. The theme was teal in color was sort of a water/ocean theme with a tree in the background. The theme changed the icons to a dark blue. I remember the apps market place icon was a shopping cart and the browser was a picture of a globe and the contacts 3 little people. Hoping someone might know what theme I'm talking about to find on the marketplace.
[Droid Eris General] zifnab06:
Hi everyone,

There has been a few questions on how to compile native android code (for exploits and such). Easy enough.

Go to http://source.android.com/download. You will need to be running Linux. Ubuntu is easiest. Follow the directions to get the source code for android downloaded and compiled.

Run this command

export PATH=/path/to/android/source/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin

Run arm-aebi-gcc or arm-aebi-g++ (depending on the language, c or c++) followed by

-o (OUTPUT) (INPUT)

So, for example, test.c would be:

arm-aebi-gcc -o test test.c

And test.cpp would be

arm-aebi-g++ -o test test.cpp

Just a note, this will make STATICALLY linked files. Meaning any headers will be included INSIDE the executable. Simply put, this means the files will be HUGE for large projects. There is a program, named agcc, which fixes this and can be found here:

http://plausible.org/andy/agcc

Put it in /bin by:

cd /bin
sudo wget http://plausible.org/andy/agcc
chmod 755 agcc
chmod +x agcc

Run agcc -o (OUTFILE) (INPUT) to compile. Be warned though, if a header is in the file that isn't in bionic (android's smaller libc) it won't compile.

Hope this helps!

now i can break out my bootable 50 meg linux disc and play around.

love that thing used to use it to crack windows passwords

should see the guys face when you crack his 20 char password in 5 mins without ever needing to use it.

well not really cracking but changing it. used to work at the pentagon. this one guys who used to be support for one dept. thought it would be funny to change all the admin passwords in his office. so when one of the pc's was beyond his repair. i showed up and he was like give me 10 min and i'll log you in. well 5 mins later i was fixing the machine while he was screwing off. boy was he pissed.

how big's gcc? cause i'll need to compile it for my linux.
[Droid Eris General] pinksocker69:
Massive. You're definitely better off using the prebuilt toolchain found in the Android (N|S)DK.
[Droid Eris General] zifnab06:
I would like to add something to this.

libc is essentially derived from the kernel. So, if you take agcc, and make changes to use the libc directory (I don't remember it atm) and NOT bionic, the app won't compile. Simple enough, libc is based of the kernel, so bionic is based of the android kernel. Things missing in bionic that are in libc WON"T work simply because certain kernel calls in glibc DON'T exist on the Android platform.

My exploit relied on the fact that I would be able to compile exploits using glibc, instead of using bionic. So it failed. Thats what I've figured out so far anyways.
[Droid Eris General] somebody1010222:
Would you be willing to share the code for that exploit, even if it doesn't work? (sorry if you already have, I didn't see it anywhere)

I may be able to help.
[Droid Eris General] zifnab06:
Look up anything in our old thread, especially when we were talking about "sys/personality.h". The one I was working with exploited a hole that was patched (min_map_addr).

This blog post

honeypod.blogspot.com/2007/12/dynamically-linked-hello-world-for.html

(Sorry, my account isn't allowed to post links yet.)

gives a minimalist approach to using dynamically linked executables. (In particular, see steps #2 and #3 for the sources for hello.c and start.c) I gave it a try, and it seemed to work without agcc, e.g. with a makefile like the following (and with the arm-eabi- executables in the PATH of the user invoking the make) :

AR = arm-eabi-ar
AS = arm-eabi-as
CC = arm-eabi-gcc
CXX = arm-eabi-c++
LD = arm-eabi-ld

NDK_KIT = /opt/android/android-ndk-1.5_r1
PLATF_KIT = build/platforms/android-1.5

ARM_INC = $(NDK_KIT)/$(PLATF_KIT)/arch-arm/usr/include
ARM_LIB = $(NDK_KIT)/$(PLATF_KIT)/arch-arm/usr/lib

PLATF_INC = $(NDK_KIT)/$(PLATF_KIT)/common/include

OBJS = hello.o start.o
EXES = hello

hello: hello.o start.o
$(LD) \
--entry=_start \
--dynamic-linker /system/bin/linker -nostdlib \
-rpath /system/lib -rpath $(ARM_LIB) \
-L $(ARM_LIB) -lc -o hello hello.o start.o

hello.o: hello.c
$(CC) -I $(ARM_INC) -I $(PLATF_INC) -c hello.c

start.o: start.c
$(CC) -I $(ARM_INC) -I $(PLATF_INC) -c start.c

clean:
rm -f $(OBJS) $(EXES)

[Droid Eris General] zebdor44:
Just curious, but I'm trying to get some native code that I've compiled to run on the Incredible. I've followed the instructions to download the the arm gcc, compiled my C code, and adb push'ed the executable over to /sdcard but I get a "permission denied" error when I try running it from my phone and adb shell. Does the phone have to be rooted in order to run native C compiled executables?

Thanks!
[Droid Eris General] thisismyanonymousaccount:
On an unrooted phone, push your code to /system/local or another place that you can write to and chmod it to be executable. By default the sdcard is mounted no execute. You will either need to add the directory you put it in to the path or execute it implicitly by specifying it is in the local directory.

for example ./myprogram

I hope that helps. I re-read it and it doesn't make much sense unless you have a firm grasp of the things that happen between the lines.

best of luck.
[Droid Eris General] gnarlyc:
Thanks. Good stuff.
[Droid Eris General] kcasner:
This is one of the most unbelievable stories ive read in a while. The fact that the pentagon had an administration department without policies or security in place to prevent such a widely known method, is comical.

btw, such a linux cd is no secret. Its called pnordahl.
[Droid Eris General] Dc_striker:
Useful information :)
[Droid Eris General] radhoo:
I'm surprised to see that many of you don't use the Forum's search function and simply start new topics over and over again. What funny is that the info you put here is old and useless.

I've posted an article on how to compile native C code for Android months ago, with several examples and tools:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=514803

or direct link herE:

http://www.pocketmagic.net/?p=682

However this technique is now too old.

The best approach is to simply use the NDK and build a custom Makefile for Cygwin's make under windows or easier under linux, see:

http://betelco.blogspot.com/2010/01/buildingdebugging-android-native-c.html
[Droid Eris General] gnarlyc:
Thank you for your very informative links. I'll take a look tonight, since I find this very interesting and would love to compile a few things for Android.

"What funny is that the info you put here is old and useless." - This was posted almost 10 months ago. That's a long time in smart phone years. By the same token, if it were January 2010 and I was looking for this info, I would assume that a post from May 2009 would be dated too.

"I'm surprised to see that many of you don't use the Forum's search function and simply start new topics over and over again." - Maybe zifnab did search and find your post and deemed your technique too old for Jan. 2010, so he created a new post with newer information. Or maybe he wanted to show a different way to do the same thing. Or maybe he figured that many users only have/take the time to look in their phone-specific forum. No one knows other than zifnab.

Personally, I welcome multiple posts by different people on the same topic. Everyone is different and often have different takes on the same thing. I find it easier to understand many techniques/topics if I get multiple perspectives.

Again, thank you for your contribution.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ZaZu90:
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to remove this useless ROM update ?

Its the HTC HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 English-Arabic ROM (GCC & Egypt)

V : 1.66.415.3

My phone turned into 100% arabic at first, but then I managed after struggling to partially remove it .. Now its in english and arabic, I got half the icons in english and half the icons in arabic :S Settings is in arabic, other icons are in arabic, yet others are in english, my phone is confused.

If I disabled the multilingual support it still shows in arabic characters but not connected.

I just wanted an english phone that can read/type in arabic and english :S

I already did 3 soft resets and 1 hard reset .. its still there .. the arabic interface is still there !!

How can I fix this ? My phone is screwed.

Thanks alot for your help.

You will have to flash another ROM in order to get rid of the one you don´t like. Maybe you can go back to your stock ROM (dunno which one it was).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
Hey guys, just thought i'd throw a question your way, i hope you guys can help and thank you so much in advance!

Before i start, yes i did search. I didn't really find what i was looking for, anytime i saw my question asked, nobody answered it. :(

I have some alternatives but i do not want to do the following:

I do not want to use Advanced Launcher.

I do not want to replace with an original 1.6 Launcher.apk.

I do not want to use a home replacement.

What i specifically want to do is edit the existing Launcher.apk and change the number of screens from 5 to 3 (I'm using Super D at the moment, i normally use any 1.6 rom).

I'm under the assumption that the Launcher.apk has a file that edits the number of screens and the default home screen. (much like the advanced launcher)

I realize it might be a bit harder than that, maybe even tons more code than i originally intended.

If any of you guys know the exact procedure in doing this and could give me a little insight, I'd greatly appreciate it.

As always, thank you guys in advanced and have a good one.

I just got my TP2 a few days ago, and updated it to TMO 6.5 stock. I would like to keep the stock rom, but I absolutely can't stand wasting my memory and screen space on apps I will never use. How can I uninstall the stock apps that t-mobile gave me, such as opera, the IM clients, MSN Money, etc etc? ANY help is appreciated. This is my first WinMo device too, so I'm sorry if this is an obvious question...I DID try searching!! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Unfortunately, programs that are built into a stock rom like that have to be removed manually (without an uninstaller). There's two basic steps to this:

1) Delete all files related to the program from /program files, /application data, and /windows/start menu

2) Delete all keys (references) to the program from the registry, you'll need to search to be sure you find them all.

Following these steps is essentially doing the same thing an uninstaller would do :cool:
