[Nexus One General] demo23019:
I had one stuck pixel that appeared a couple days after i got my phone

but i fixed it and it came back like 5 times.

But knock on wood its been 4 weeks and it hasn't come back.

Mine was weird it would only show on the lock screen and it was very random but once i swiped to unlocked it went away so it wasn't that bad.

If i were you I would return it especially were its two pixels and software isnt fixing it.
[Nexus One General] kostodo:
When you say u fixed it what do you mean?

Just to clarify, the dots on my screen look dark like there's no light coming through them. That's dead not suck right?

:'-(
[Nexus One General] demo23019:
mine was stuck and it was red sorry forgot to mention that.

OLED have very deep blacks so its hard to tell if its stuck on black or if it is dead

...anyhow if you cant fix it you should return it.
[Nexus One General] kostodo:
Man returning it is a such a mission as it was bought in Singapore and I'm not even there any more...

I suppose I could find a way to send it back there and then from there back to the US.... heh. The problem is that I only received the handset about a week ago so if these kinds of problems have been reported since the launch whaat says the replacement wont have the exact same issue? Which would then be a massive waste of time and money ;(
[Nexus One General] demo23019:
Thats the problem i even set up an RMA to return mine but had a gut feeling i would regret it. So i canceled my RMA and prayed the pixel would eventually not stick anymore.

I didn't want to take a chance of getting a referb phone with other issues.
[Nexus One General] broken89:
I feel your pain EVERY device that I get now days that has a LCD screen ALWAYS has at least one dead pixel. But to my surprise my Nexus One is 100% fine .

What device are you trying to cook for?

You may want to get started by downloading a kitchen for your device. I recommend PPCKitchen since it is really easy to use and it comprehends a lot of the newer devices. Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] rzlez7:
its a rare device the samsung c6625, does the kitchen work for that ?
[General Questions and Answers] rzlez7:
i dont think there is a kitchen out for that :/
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
I really doubt it.

Can this device use custom roms? (can it be unlocked)?
[General Questions and Answers] rzlez7:
well im not really sure there doesnt seem to be any roms out for it. Its very similar for the black jack 2...almost identical specs
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
If it isn't unlockable, you may want to stay away from flashing or attempting to do anything to the device if you do not know what you are doing. You can seriously damage your device or completely brick it.
[General Questions and Answers] rzlez7:
yhh good point XD i just whish samsung didnt release a phone with 6.1 just before 6.5 came out

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fish_ead:
Hi All, I'm a newbie and I'm looking for some guidance as I've broken my 3 week old HD2.

I've just flashed it with the new Duttys Leo HG V.08 5.2.23529.5.5.0] rom and done a hard reset but when the phone comes to the end of the 'preparing your phone' process it reboots and hangs on the white HTC screen!!

I've tried several time to re-flash from the pc and the SD card but the flash won't load. :(

I just wanted to pose the question before I send it back to HTC.

Any idea would be appreciated, Thanks.

did you try MTTY drivers?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] marchi78:
Remove the battery and replace it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tictac0566:
Sounds like a bad flash - I have used Dutty´s HG 0.8 without any troubles.

Did you try to go into the bootloader (turn off device, vol. down + power on at the same time) on the phone, to connect it only then to the PC through USB/active sync?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mobilemaduk:
How to Fix

I had same problem with this ROM. I put my phone in boot loader (volume down + soft reset) and flashed a different rom. All now ok.

Hope this helps
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] D.O.C:
Guys, I think the title of this thread is misleading, flashing incorrectly any ROM would give you that result, any error from downloading to flashing can get your device in a temporary and reversible trouble, just put your device in bootloader mode and flash it again, with another ROM, you can try v 0.8 again but i would recommend you to download it again.... anyways... you do have HSPL right?:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Petulinek:
You have bad radio ROM version, use recommended Radio for Dutty´s ROM
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cracou111:
Hi,

I think personaly that when peoples are taking time to help you, the minimum respect is to answer to the questions and give us the result of our comments!

WE (the forum) are helping you! Handling like you do will not encourage others to help you!

Have a good day!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I think this is Radio related. I have had numerous people have the same problem upgrading from older 1.48, 1.66 etc with stock radio and the get this same problem. Almost 95 % of these have been corrected by flashing the TMOUS Radio 2.08.50.08.02 Radio. Then flashing the ROM again. I started a new Thread asking for input from others and when this is confirmed 100% then I will change the title of the Thread to Warning.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fish_ead:
Resolved

Thanks to all the reply's with advice to my post. My HD2 is now back up and running.

Basically after leaving the device on charge for 2 hours I then tried another re-flash from my pc which worked first time.

At the time of the initial flash the battery was show 86% so it's odd how charging the battery could resolve the problem - I'd previously tried 5 other ROM's over a 3 week period with no problems but this is my first v.08!!

I choose a Dutty ROM as I'd read a number of good posts about his work and I must say this ROM seems fast and stable so it difficult to put a finger on a cause - Either way I'm happy - cheers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htc12345:

[General Questions and Answers] clsifford:
hey folks, i've been hunting around and trying ROMs for quite a while now. and for about 2 months i've been trying to get my hands on a particular ROM. what i'm looking for is a WM 6.5 ROM (NOT 6.5.x; i want the start menu in the top left corner, not the bottom left) that is absolutely BARE NAKED, nothing but the operating system and absolute system necessities, and not much else, if anything. i have cabs for all programs that i use. one other stipulation is that i have WAlien's M2D and weather localisation cabs and i need a ROM that i can install this on. i've been trying to learn how to cook on my own, but i can't seem to find a learning friendly kitchen. and the instructions might as well be written in Chinese for all the sense i can make of them. too much technical terms used that i don't understand. i'd love to build my own, but it's just not an option right now. anyway, just wanted to know if anyone would happen to know where i can find a ROM that meets these criteria, or if some wonderfully kind chef out there might cook me one up? either one would make me friggin EXTACIC! i don't like the WM 6.5.x roms, not sure why, i just don't seem to mesh well with them. anyway, if anyone could help me out, i would really appreciate it. also, if anyone could tell me what particular builds will take to WAlien's M2D cabs, that would really help in my search. i know the 23xxx builds are all the 6.5.x that i don't want, but i really don't know about any others. i believe i had a 21550 build that was running M2D with Home Weather (my big concern), but the ROM was over 100 MB, fluffed up with all sorts of programs that i would never even use. by the way, i'm using an HTC Tilt/Kaiser/Tytn II, whatever you want to call it. love the phone, but can't seem to find just the right ROM, or a decent kitchen to teach myself on. no idea what SYS or OEM files are, where to put them, what they do, or anything. i just know that they are used to cook ROMs. anyway, if some kind soul could take the time out of their day to enlighten me, i'd love to get a better grasp on this stuff. i'd actually like to take some classes on the subject, but i'd rather get my feet wet first, so i'm not going into it blind. thanks for your time, even if you can't help me, i appreciate you taking the time to see if you might be able to help.
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
You may want to consider using spaces when you post, like having paragraphs :)

If you feel adventurous enough, head over to ppckitchen.org and get your kitchen and cook it yourself with all the bells and whistles (or lack thereof) that you wish.

Alternatively, go to the Kaiser section and look for something there.

FYI, the different UI has nothing to do with 6.5.X, but rather with the COM branch. You are looking for any rom of the COM2 branch (usually anything above 218XX (but always remaining in the 21XXX branches) will have the start menu on top).

I hope this helps you some.
[General Questions and Answers] clsifford:
yeah, i tend to ramble a bit. anyway, i tried ppckitchen. thouroughly unimpressed. i produced 3 roms, 2 of which worked, however, they weren't what i was looking for. didn't have much expericence at the time, and now that i know what i'm looking for, PPCK's BuildOS runs all the way through the rom building process then gives me an error. i sit there for X amount of time picking and choosing all my stuff, then sit for 10-15 more minutes, and now after that, it just gives me an error every time. it's been a while since i even thought about messing with it again. i can't even remember exactly what the error message was. thanks for the input though.

so i need to look for builds with 21xxx then. sweet. that will help narrow down my search at least. just basically looking for something with no bells, no whistles, that will run the M2D cabs from WAlien. i had a rom a couple weeks ago that met all the criteria except for the bells and whistles, but i've been flashing so many roms looking for the right one, that they pretty much all say "KAISIMG" now and it's about impossible to remember which is which. plus, they pretty much look the same once loaded, so i don't really know until i get the results when i try to install M2D. anyway, thanks for the help with the build numbers. i'll try searching those.
[General Questions and Answers] clsifford:
i actually just figured out the other day that the 23xxx builds are the ones with the start menu in the bottom left.
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
23xxx, 28xxx, 25xxx, 24xxx, 22xxx... they all have the new UI. The latest one available for the COM2 branch is the 21892.

What kind of error messages are you getting out of PPCK? They just released a new update the other day, which deals with some error messages (among other things).

Lastly, what I do with the roms is to first create a folder with the rom number and who made it and then drop it in there. You may want to consider doing that :)
[General Questions and Answers] clsifford:
wasn't aware of the 22xxx ones, but i knew 23xxx and up were the ones that i'm not looking for. hey, i found a rom that will serve my purpose for the time being. came across the Shifu v4.2 Rom last night. it's a 21854 build. works with WAlien's M2D with Home Weather cabs also, which was my biggest concern. thanks for your help. i think i'm gonna be content with this one until i learn how to cook my own. it's got a bit of "fluff" stuff that i don't need, but it is still rather small compared to some of the other roms of similar builds that i was checking out last night. thanks for all of your help, bud! i really appreciate it.
[General Questions and Answers] clsifford:
oh, and about PPCKitchen: i'm not sure, but i'll try to run it when i get home. it's been quite a while since i tried using it, but i do remember that the day it started screwing up on me was the same day that i downloaded updates for it. maybe the updates messed it up. i'll go home and check for more updates and see if it'll run or not. i'll keep you posted. all i remember was that when the error came up, it made a loud sound that scared the crap out of me. forgot that i still had the volume turned up loud from watching movies the night before! hahaha! my wife even jumped, and she was in the kitchen, the REAL kitchen, not the rom kitchen. anyway, i'll check on that and get back to you if it's still giving me problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RetroFlux:
Firstly I want to stress that I am not making any accusations or (as far as I know) experienced anything like this, it's just a thought I had.

So my question is what's to stop an unscrupulous cook from adding something to a ROM that would steal account passwords? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm not a cook.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Very little, I guess.

I doubt anyone else goes to these lengths, but I always check the entire list of apps and their permissions (in Android) on install of a ROM.

But that's not foolproof, and takes ages, so often I do a diff of the file system to see if any dodgy apks are there.

Droidwall in whitelist mode will help against a malicious app, but a kernel based exploit would get through all of this :(

So personally I stick with modaco Rom, and tek kernel, as Paul & tek are trusted and have a good track record and history here and on modaco forums. So I guess just stick to major trusted chefs or wait for official. And be wary of new ROMs and chefs, not that we should distrust them, but just be wary till they build up a good reputation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RetroFlux:
Thanks for your reply- you mentioned some things I had not considered doing.

I am currently using the Modaco 3.0 ROM and have been using it since 2.6 and have had no issues with it, I suppose the ultimate way forward would be to cook your own ROM but I'm from WinMo and wouldn't know where to start not to mention finding the time to learn all this stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dsixda:
You're in luck, we are in the same boat.. I made an easy kitchen for new Android cooks:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

Regarding security, yeah I would go by reputation... but the best thing would be to cook your own ROM once you know what you want in a ROM, after trying out custom ROMs made by others.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RetroFlux:
Sweet! I'll check it out, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. Cooking your own seems the best bet.

One idea I did have. How about a thread where a trusted user or admin puts in the MD5/CRC hashes of the stock apk files, and makes an MD5 file. Then, users could check any suspect apps to see what (if anything) isn't stock. ie. a non-stock SMS app might be a bit suspect etc.

Although this would have a load of false positives for anyone who just edited a picture or icon within an apk.

Similarly, a catalogue of boot.img MD5 sums (the part that contains the kernel ramdisk) would allow users to check their boot.img looks legit before flashing.

The biggest issue here though is how to make sure that it's kept up to date, and that it's verified in some way so a malicious user couldn't add their own MD5 for their malicious app/kernel to the list, thus giving it trust.

Maybe better just learning to cook a rom... It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Just stay away from SPL and Radio until you know what to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RetroFlux:
Yeah I thought about getting cooks to hash their stuff but I don't think there would be much take up and like you say the false positives would be an issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
You might come in for a surprise if you think checking apks is safe.

A simple keylogger (there's one which will compile and work for android - DON'T PM me about the name, I won't tell you) added to initrc, zipped log file of key catches and a simple ftp of the file once every 6h will do just fine.

For additional privacy concerns, you can always catch the entire screen (but that'll slow the system too much), or even zip and ftp the /data/data ...

Possibilities exist.

For the real adventurous, you might always add the code/function to one of the programs which are compiled while aosp'ing, for example, busybox, dropbear, whatver... Share that in a rom, and there you go.

Checking apk perms, scripts or whaever won't do you any good in this case.

This is why you try new roms from "amateur" chefs at your own risk. Believe me, bricking is the least of your concerns when trying new roms from unknown "devs"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RetroFlux:
I think this just further renforces the 'cook your own ROM' route. Don't worry I won't PM you about it as I'm not looking to steal people's passwords just looking to try and protect myself, I'm getting paranoid now and thinking about going back to a stock ROM :O

Hi!

I am looking for a description of the XT9 database format. I've searched on the net but have not been able to find an answer.

What I'm trying to do is create a program to automatically enter words from a textfile into the t9-db. What I've done 'till now is write a mortscript that uses et9mywords.exe to add words from a file. The downside of this is that the script is very slow in sending the keystrokes to et9mywords.exe and I would also like to hide the whole process of adding the words from the user (which I couldn't accomplish with mortscript/et9mywords.exe).

Thanks in advance,

Georg

[HD2 General] geekyhawkes:
I love my hd2, and no i have hspl on and a new radio rom things have gotten even better. Pretty much the last thing i would like to be fixed is the "random" device slow downs i occasionally get. The slow downs are pretty crippling effecting keyboard, scrolling and even unlocking!

Im guessing im not alone (and do remember one of the engadget reviews mentioning it), and would really like it fixed.

I am using the stock 1.48 windows rom with all the usual hotfixes applied. I close every app when im finished with it and rarely have more than activesync and the "in use" app running. (TO the extent that sometimes the device slows massively just typing a text).

Is this something that anyone else has had any success fixing?

[HD2 General] antaed:
it probably has something to do with the automatic updates. i deactivated all except mail every 2hrs and the phone runs like hell :). mind you, i have artemis onboard....

maybe you have something against custom roms but why don't you upgrade at least to the official 1.66?
[HD2 General] jmwarren85:
Normally when I get slow downs I just run htcaddicts.com's CleanRAM and the slow down seems to disappear.

It must be something to do with how WM manages memory...?

Can someone with a bit of tech knowlege confirm or discount this?
[HD2 General] geekyhawkes:
Ive been through all of the tweaks here thanks. Sadly the device slow down doesnt seem to be related to anything in particular althought maybe it is a background data update for shares/twitter/email?

I have tried cleanram but generally it gains less than 2mb even in level 3 as I close everything once Im finished with it.

I havent upgraded to 1.66 as i dont want to have to reinstall everything on my phone for pretty much unspecified "updates". If i could get exact details of what i would gain with 1.66 from 1.48 then maybe id upgrade..
[HD2 General] waynepyrah:
slow downs and freezes still occur in latest rom unfortunately...

I read on another thread someone sent their phone back and got a working model - first Ive seen of it though so hopefully not a board fault.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
I also had slowdowns with 1.48, and the stock 1.66. With my current ROM I haven't seen one, except for a couple of times with ActiveSync going mad when trying to sync over bluetooth.
[HD2 General] geekyhawkes:
I have to admit i kind of think its core to WM6.5 and sense so i doubt any rom would fix this. I am hoping that as WM7 gets sense then the new kernel will support Snapdragon so we get some processor head room.

[G1 General] BoomBoomPOW:
First of all, you've officially murdered the English language. The only way I sort of understood what you were saying was by copy and pasting your post to Google Translate.

Secondly, I still can't understand it. So you rooted but didn't flash an SPL but flashed the radio, and now your stuck at G1 logo? Hmmm, I could only presume you've successfully entered Bricksville (Population: Noobs*Infinite).

Try pulling out the battery and boot into Recovery (Home + Power) Mode, FastBoot (Back + Power) Mode, or Bootloader (Volume Down/Camera + Power) Mode.

Or plug in USB adapter into device and setup ADB. After you've successfully setup ADB, get back to me so I can give you the commands and needed nbh files to pull you out of your predicament.
