You battery may indeed be toast from what you describe. I have had the experience of totally discharging the battery and the device not coming on at all. I recommend that if you do this, you should fully charge it using the wall charger NOT the computer (if the computer works at all. it didnt in my case). I have done this a few times now and the battery turned out fine each time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DesperateScorpion:
Thanks.....

My issue seamed to be fixed. I had to rely on a computer as I didnt have access to my charger and by the time I did my phone was at approximately 65% charge. I plugged it in and charged it all the way to 100%. Replugged it and left it for a little more while to make sure it got charged completely. I have been using it since today morning 9am and now it is 2pm at 73% after couple of calls, messages and emails.

Few more charging cycles with the wall charger and I am hoping it will be back to normal.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-grosso:
Hey guys, just got an HTC hero. I'm loving it, but I want to know how I can run apps off the SD card. I've tried looking all over this forum, all over the web, but I honesly can't find an easy to do guide without the worry of screwing up my phone.

I rooted my phone with the virgin guide in the other forum, and I downloaded 3.1-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip from one of the guides that I found. I managed to install it, but I still wasn't so sure how to use app2sd, even if it was installed, so I went back to my nand backup and I'm just on my normal rooted HTC Hero again.

Before people get angry for not searching around etc, I have, alot. I'm just a bit cautious doing things when I am like 40% sure I am doing the right thing. Even Haykuro Apps to SD is hard to follow. The only thing I want to do is give my phone more room for apps.

Please help, thank you.

Modaco's ROMs have auto A2SD. All you need to do is to partition your SD card in the correct way. This you can do from the Amon-Ra recovery menu.

I tried partitioning the SD card. 32mb for the swap part, and 256mb for the ext2 with the rest of the space going to fat32 for my files and stuff, but when i started attempting to install apps, i saw that the space in my internal storage was going down, and not the space on my memory card. did i do it wrong or something?

i've been trying to find partition guides, but none have helped so i just went with my gut. thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelnes:
How did you partition the SD-card? It's important to make the FAT partition first.

I tried starting again using this guide (can't post links, will PM)

Still.. when I install applications, the internal memory storage goes down and not my memory card. The only thing I didn't do on that guide was turn ext2 to ext3 on my computer because it didn't work, so I did it in the recovery system on android.

[General Questions and Answers] clsifford:
hey guys,

i've been looking online this morning for classes where i can learn how to do cell phone programming and modification. i haven't had much luck though. most of the results either bring me back to XDA or a similar website, or they take me to a site that is just trying to sell me something that is cell phone or computer related. so i guess my question is: what exactly is this field or line of work called? i've been looking under computer programming, cell phone programming, cell phone modification, smart phone programming, and smart phone modification, all with "classes" at the end, of course. can someone help me out with this? i know it probably sounds like a dumb question, but i'm just having no luck bring back any "course related" results in my search. like i said, it just produces results for websites like this one, o retail websites. i'd love to get into this field of work. i have been customizing my phone (HTC Tilt/Kaiser/Tytn, etc) which i have an extra one of to test on thanks to my lovely wife, and i have been enjoying it very much. trying new ROMs, making some feeble attempts at cooking ROMs, and checking out all the software that is available for my phone. i have been enjoying it so much that i would like to take some courses on the subject and start a carreer in this field! my wife can't seem to drag me away from the computer, and when she does, i've got my phone. we figure that if i like it this much, i should take some courses and get paid to do this kind of stuff 8 hours a day. then it wouldn't take up quite so much time at home. anyway, i'm rambling now, so if anyone could give me some more ideas on what exactly to search for or what this line of work is called, it would aid me in trying to find a place locally that offers some classes on the subject. thank you in advance for any help that you folks can provide me with. by the way, i'm in the DFW (TX, US) area, if any local folks happen to be reading and could point me in the right direction. for the moment, i'm interested in campus classes or online classes, doesn't make much difference at the moment. i would like to see what each has to offer for the time being, and money will be an issue, as things are pretty tight right now financially. Thanks again!

However at Stevens it is really indepth stuff and they work on, not only new invetions but many patents actually come from the technology that Stevens does. I hope this helped you a little.

Since my phone has been working well with the 1.48 ROM, is there anything I'm missing when compared to the new 1.66 ROM? No issues with SMS...don't want to go through the process of reinstalling apps if nothing is gained.:D

Thanks in advance.

I've asked this a couple of times but nobudy seems to have the answer. and in light of reading about the problems that people have xperienced with 1.66, I've decided to stick with 1.48
[HD2 General] jakem:
The only other fix that I'm aware of is that the lock screen/emails not opening from Sense issue that was introduced in 1.48 has been resolved. Other than that, the screen seems a little less responsive (although I'm used to it now) and the Task Manager has been moved to the Start Menu.

Hope that helps :)

Fix for stubborn shortcuts which cannot be deleted

Below is tip 22 from the below link.

You don't need to add the "Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATE.cab" to apply the fix stated below.

"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."

22. Change Your Quicklinks from 9 to 16 Slots

Amazing tweak. Now have a 4 x 4 grid of quicklinks instead of a 3 x 3 grid. Install cab at bottom of post and reset. NOW UPDATED so will work with ANY wallpaper. Download the NEW Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab (168.4 KB) below. 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.

[HD2 General] chrislegrice:
Looks like this hack is needed for all but first 9 Quick Links

I have the same issue. It looks like you can remove any of the first 9 links without a hitch. It's all the other links (added by the CAB which gave us 16 or 20 links) that are not recognised by the 'Remove Quick Links' menu item.

I wonder if any WM boffins might know whether we can tweak something else in registry to enable the 'Remove Quick Links' feature for these additional links?

Hey everyone , so I installed Android SDK on my Ubuntu 9.10 machine, the IDE works fine, my problem arises when I want to send commands to the phone using the fastboot command in the terminal. I get command not found error.

well i did try it , and still nothing it still says adb:command not found , fastboot: command not found
[G1 General] ldp_punkt:
i don't know how good your linux skills are. but you might need to

chmod +x adp

, then you can run it from it's dir with

./adb

or you can ln or cp it to your bin dir. for fastboot the same applies (mutatis mutandis).

you might have to use sudo, too.

hope that helps
[G1 General] :
tried that too

Ubuntu still doesnt recognize it

i should tell you im trying to run it from the terminal window.
[G1 General] papilyn:
do this:for jaunty/karmic..

step 1

sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

step 2

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

#and add this line and save/close:

SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″

step 3 (modified permission)

sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

step 4( testing device)

./adb devices

step 5 (if works say thanks!))

note: some linux terminal accept ./adb devices or adb devices
[G1 General] blackerwater:
Also before that you might want to check and see if the device ids show up when you plug the phone in. Might be something else with your device or rom your running......good luck.
[G1 General] linuxluver:
These are the best instructions I've found for setting up the Android SDK on Ubuntu:

http://www.futuredesktop.org/developing_android_apps_on_ubuntu.html

The bit you need to get right it setting up the "udev" policy file. The permissions you set here allow you to access the phone from Ubuntu's point of view.

Also....Do you know that to run a program FROM ITS FOLDER from the command prompt in Linux you need to put "./" in front of it? This is telling to look in the current folder for the program to execute it. But you have to be in that folder.

So you would go to [sdk-folder]\tools and type in (you may have to use 'sudo') "sudo ./fastboot devices" and it should list any attached phones that have USB debug turned on in the phone settings (you do have it turned on, right?)

You should see something like (from my phone):

steve@media:~/android-sdk-linux/tools$ sudo ./fastboot devices

HT95SKF07937	fastboot

If you see this, then you can move to booting a recovery on your phone. If fastboot doesn't list any devices, then your udev probably isn't set up right.

Here is an extract. This works *every* time. The lines below mean you must use sudo to run fastboot or adb....and to start the adb server ("sudo ./adb start-server"). Butif you add GROUP="plugdev" to the end of each line and also add your username to the group "plugdev" (via SYSTEM -> Administration -> Users and Groups), then you don't need to use sudo.

*****

10d) In Ubuntu, create a new rules file for these vendor:device IDs.

Type this command to create the file.

$ sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Add the following blue lines (rules) to it and save the file. If your lsusb command reports other, newer product IDs for vendor 0bb4, add them also to the file.

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c01", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c02", MODE="0666"

--

10e) Re-connect your phone.

Your phone should be detected if you unplug and reconnect it to the computer.

*****

List devices again and you should be fine.

If you're reading and understanding the instructions, it should work. If you're skipping the bits you don't understand.....then go back and understand them. No other way. I'm assuming here that your phone is able to handle fastboot. If you see the three dancing androids, it most likely can.

when it says "adb: command not found" it usually isn't in your .bashrc path, or if you did put it in possibly you didn't log out/log back in or restart your computer.

glad you got it working though

commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it

options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id

so the program is working, executable and in my path.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Co0kieMonster:
Wow, that's 3 very big thanks' :D I'm very glad I can contribute to the community.

You're referring to manila 2.5.1922.2911, right?

That one also needs the manila.mode9 to work, but that's only because it has a built in bug in it's original manila.mode9. (I've made a cab for it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5499189&postcount=47)

Now, it might seem a little contradictory, that in the first post I say "no need to modify the mode9s", and now I'm saying 2.5.1922.2911 needs a mode9. But, believe me 2.5.1922.2911 is an exception rather than the rule. That version is bugged, and it's the only reason it needs the mode9 to work.

I've made some cabs here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5499189&postcount=47

I haven't tested the animated wallpaper, only the regular. This is only a proof-of-concept and I won't develop it further because I don't use BG4all tabs myself (I prefer making better quality wallpaper with HDWall).

But my hope is that the basic concept will be helpful to others, and that it will develop from there.

Thanks much cookiemonster! I'm actually getting used to not using bg4all too. Manila runs much smoother without. Maybe I'll make some high quality walls with hdwalls also. But, it doesnt work on manila 2.5.1922 does it?

edit** Ok, now this was kind of weird. Installed the cab and all was fine, til I switched to landscape and back. My wallpaper disappeared after that, never to return:) Naw, after soft reset, it came back. But, same thing keeps happening.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Daranus:
If not here, i dont know a better place to get capable people that could MAYBE help me on this matter.

I am Using the "old" Tf3d (not leo) on my X1 and i came across a pretty sad thing.

TF3D scales down the Wallpaper and makes it look worse. I made a mod for a self changing wallpaper for tf3d so i got into the lua files quite a bit half a year ago.

So my questions are:

Do you have any idea where the image is scaled down in the lua code?

can you think of any workaround to get a better image quality?

I think this would make it SO SO SO much better, as the images in full quality look just stunning..and on tf3d they look just blurry.

And another brief question, did the lua decompilers got better?..half a year ago almost any big lua file could not be decompiled properly..and so could not be changed at all.

thank you in advance,

Daranus
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Co0kieMonster:
HDWall works with 1922, but my patch for that version needs to be applied.

The landscape problem: As I've said, it's just a proof-of-concept and I won't develop it further. Anyone who wishes to do so: In order to fix the landscape problem, the BackGroungLevel0 texture needs to be reapplied in the rotation function.

It's scaled down to 512X512 in the homebackground.lua script.

One workaround is to make it use 480x800 jpegs or pngs, but that still isn't optimal because Manila displays those formats with some kind of dot artifacts.

The best quality solution is to use Manila's native QTC format, but you have to make your wallpapers with HDWall: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=503511

I've been developing LuaDec recently and made a lot of improvements - it can decompile more than 90% of all Manila script. The link to the tool is in my signature.
