Goldcard works a treat

Just make sure you do it in the right order.

Do the SD Card hack and then downgrade to the HTC hero rom linked in the Gold card thread once thats installed then you can use flashrec.

The HTC Hero ROM downgrade is the most important if thats not done flashrec will just keep failing.

So

1) SD Card hack

2) HTC Hero ROM downgrade using the RRU on the Gold Card thread.

3) Install Flashrec (goto the flashrec thread linked at the bottom of the gold card isntructions)

4) Install Recovery ROM

5) Copy the ROM you want to your SD card.

6) load into boot loader (Hold down home while turning on and hold it until bootload starts)

7) Do a WIPE

8) Load new ROM from SD card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skbhatti:
hi guys thanks for all the suggestions,

with goldcard, am able to run through the whole process but at the end I can not flash new Recommended ROM

any suggestions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theshakyone:
I had the same problem on the T Mobile G2....

First off the MSD card i was using caused problems, but the stock one that comes with the phone works fine.

Then i ran into problems flashing the rom that the tutorials provide. So i downloaded a whole bunch and it was trial and error until i found one that worked. It's strange how some people find it works as per the tutorial, and others have to try different RUU roms...

Good luck!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] clintonius:
Hi guys

I have been trawling this and other forums for 2 days now with no success. I cannot for the life of me get the phone into bootloader mode. I am currently using one of NRGZ28's Roms if that helps.

I have tried about 15 times to do it. Each time, powering off device, taking out and re-inserting battery, holding down volume down key as well as the power button, but the phone continually boots as per normal.

I've also re Hard-SPL'd thinking that was the issue, but apparently not.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Im Packing:
Try this...

If your phone is already turned on, go to Start>Reset

While it's turning itself off, hold down the power button and the lower volume button simultaneously (at the same time) and CONTINUE TO HOLD! It should then go into bootloader.

Or take the battery out, re-insert it. Push the power button and lower volume button down at the same time and CONTINUE TO HOLD!

The important step is that you have to CONTINUE TO HOLD both buttons at the same time. Not just press them together and let go.

Hope that helps.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] clintonius:
Every time I have been holding them the whole way through, even still holding once I hit the today screen just in case. Tried doing it your method through restarting while holding both, and the second method you suggested is the way I've been doing it each time. Taking out battery, re-inserting it, pressing both buttons at the same time and holding, but it just continues to boot as normal. I have recently had to take my phone apart due to the slide-out keyboard playing up and now some buttons are a tad hit and miss, but I have verified while the phone is on that both volume keys and the power button work as per normal
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
if everything else fails try this app to enter bootloader

[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
well, don't sharing this is not a shame imo, but I am also wondering why you bother to make a new thread on XDA without any attention to share. How many things are you using on your phone what is shared by other people who are putting time and effort in their projects? Is that not one of the great things of this community?

I really am missing the point of your post...

I am trying to get the hang of serial port usage in VS2008 with VB.NET CF. Wanting to simply read from a serial port and send it to a textbox or listbox on a WM5 phone. Does anyone have the simplest of serial port examples to jumpstart this? I have not yet found a SIMPLE example of how this should work or anything that I can modify to my own needs.

Thank all.

[HD2 General] A|ex:
Has anyone else had the issue where you can press down on the screen, a tool bar or something and the screen starts to shake or the selector starts to auto select things. I get this a lot and typing is often very hard because it randomly selecting things when i am typing on the keypad.

I have seen it once when i put the phone down go through random menus, is this a fault or just normal due to sensitivity?

Hi

I've had the same problem several times with both stock rom and cooked.

I turn it off, wipe the screen and it will usually revert to working properly.

Most would say it's a fault unfortunately. Personally I've returned mine for a replacement after a 'repair' which fitted a new screen made the problem worse.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
CM because it has all the drivers atm. I love eclair, but I want everything to work. Once those are out, Cyanogen will make an eclair also, so I will probably flash that over once it comes around.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elloco305:
I did research all i found was his theme. Besides how much better can his be compared to others? Honestly coming from a Kinglick AOSP 2.1 ROM i love it and its by far the best compared to other 2.1 roms i've tested. As far as speed and stability goes, Anyways.

And I've been seeing alot of Super D flying around, But how fast are his ROMS? Like 'Super tap an app and open fully' fast or 'Tap an app and wait 2-3 seconds for it to fully show'?

And by the way, @xabierd Any ROM is ACCEPTED! Just wanna know what people are using and WHY? I mean, because it has video working. It's lighting fast. It's stable. It has a certain feel you like, WHATEVER!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
prc (or newer mobi) is the mobipocket format. Mobipocket can of course read DRM prc books. But it is dead. There is no further development because amazon bought the mobipocket company and stopped all. So the best solution is change to epub format. Conversion with calibre is pretty simple. Although for DRM mobipocket books the only legal way is reading with the old mobipocket reader. ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dai323:
I ve noticed that many people have posted having problems with keyboard layouts after flashing a rom. I have a German G1 which was rooted to Cyanogens 4.2.14.1 before, and I never had problems keeping the phone in English but retaining the German keyboard (I ve gotten use to it).

But after flashing Super D just now (which is AWESOME), my keyboard has defaulted back to the U.S keyboard, which is really annoying.

Anyone know exactly why this problem didnt exist in Cyanogens rom and why it does exist with SuperD? Also, Im assuming this is something I have to live with, as I couldnt find an easy fix for it? I really just want the German keyboard back.

Any help would really be appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
1.SuperD isnt Cyanogen

2.Most Likely in the scripts that have to do with the keyboard.

Hope that didnt sound rude but yeah =/ You would probably have to change something in the system/usr directory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kugelfish:
I had the same problem and solved it like so:

1.) DL and unzip the zip file I have attached

2.) copy the file to your SD card root folder

3.) open a Terminal Emulator app and type the following (press Enter after each line and allow if it ask for permission):

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/usr/keychars/

dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin

4.) Reboot your phone.

5.) Profit... :)

You will have to do this after every ROM flash, but it literally just takes a few seconds, so not worth mentioning.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dai323:
This is exactly what I tried, but after the "dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin" command in terminal, I get an error that says:

"cannot open for write: Read-only file system"

Not sure what Im doing wrong. I unzipped the file, put it on sd card, and entered in the commands.

I heard this method works for everyone, but for some reason I get this error when i try it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kugelfish:
Sadly, I'm not to familiar with linux or coding in general, but I would assume something went wrong when remounting. Your system folder seems to remain read-only...

Maybe someone more qualified can help with the right command line... ?

Edit

make sure there is a space between mtdblock3 and /system like so (shown red):

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3SPACE/system
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dai323:
Still no luck. I double checked, and its typed correctly. I tried swapping this command:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

for this one:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (found in another thread)

but it still didnt work. After I tried using the "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" command that I found in the other thread, I didnt get the error, and thought this may have fixed the keyboard. But when I rebooted, the keyboard was still wrong.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kugelfish:
Sorry dude, that's all I got. All I can say is, it works for me.

Why won't the words go with the screen when you use multi-touch? Anyone else find this annoying?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
After zooming in, just double tap the screen real quick and it will re-align the text to fit. I think they did this so that the pinch to zoom would be smoother while trying to decide what zoom level you wanted.
[Nexus One General] ralexand:
try double tapping afterwards

I assume you are referring to the text not auto fitting to the screen after you zoom. I noticed this too and found it annoying but the go, is to simply double tap the screen after booming and it will fit the text to the screen.
[Nexus One General] bluehaze:
That is what pinch to zoom does, it's just pinch to zoom. Goes as big or as small as you pinch. I know such an amazing feature we couldn't live without right? LOL It is nice to have but after using Iphone for 3 years I liked the doubletap method of Nexus automatically configuring zoom to text column size much better. Pinch to zoom is nice to have for the gallery and the maps though.
[Nexus One General] kylez64:
It worked on my Hero just fine. its just a bit of an inconvenience for me.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Dolphin Browser resizes the text for you, if you're using that then I have no idea what else could be the problem here. I didn't know people still use the default browser, it so. "default-ish".
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Huh? Doesn't double tap zoom out? If so, what's the point of pinching in and then zooming out again?
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Its something Google added for the masses. With Multitouch, people can stop saying this phone is inferior to the iphone using that one point (it having multi-touch) as a basis.
[Nexus One General] kylez64:
Who takes that seriously?

Hardware wise the Nexus is far better then the iphone

Software is more opinion based

Ive actually never owned or used an apple product so I can't compare, I found it rather boring
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Tell that to the iphone users. You think the average, very average, as in teenage girls with puppies in their purses (I see that on TV.. lol) are going to care about superior "hardware". There going to look at the iphone, look at the Nexus One - and go "oh shiny", "oh I can zoom in and out with my fingers!".

The phone (Nexus One) can have all the superior hardware it wants, but there are thousands of ignorant people out there that believe the iphone is more superior than the Nexus One over simple things like multitouch.

But your question was "Who takes it seriously?", you may not take it seriously - but Google HAS to stop people from loving the iphone so much with any method they can ( at least I would believe). Exceeding with hardware was the first step.. and I'm going to infer that multi-touch was the 2nd step. I assume businesses must take even the most idiotic complaints into consideration..
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ok back to the topic at hand...

Am I wrong about the double tap thing?

It's not actually a double tap, but TWO double taps then, isn't it?

Or am I doing the double tap wrong, meaning there's a way to double tap to reflow without zooming??? :confused::confused::confused:
[Nexus One General] gunnner:
Would be nice not to be comparing to the iPhone, but IIRC, I always had trouble getting the text to reflow when I zoomed in on a column of text on the iPhone. Maybe I just didn't try hard enough.

With Android, at least I can pinch, then double tap to reflow text. But that's not what I usually do - I usually just double-tap the element I want to zoom in on, and it seems to be readable-sized and in a single column. In other words, I like the Android pinch-to-zoom functionality in the Browser.

You might come across this problem if you have the "Open pages in overview" option unchecked in the browser settings. If it's unchecked, you'll be a bit zoomed in when a page loads, so double tapping will presumably zoom you out again.

In summary: if you're zoomed out (i.e. in page overview), double tapping zooms in and reflows text. If you're zoomed in a bit, double tapping zooms out to the page overview.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Well said... I completely agree with yah. :-)
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Huh?

This will only work if you're 100% zoomed out then. This thread is about zooming in with pinch and zoom, and THEN using double tap, is it not?

As pjcforpres posted:

"

After zooming in

, just double tap the screen real quick and it will re-align the text to fit."

I think something is getting lost in translation here? :confused:
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Here is what I am saying, I guess more clearly...

Do the pinch to zoom, then double tap the screen right after it. It won't zoom out, instead it will auto fit the text just like a regular double tap zoom. They did this so that the pinch to zoom is smoother and more fluid in it's motion, since instead of doing a bunch of resizings as it zooms, it does it once when you double tap the screen to let it know you are done zooming in.

Try it out, it is a great execution IMHO that sadly too many people haven't seemed to of figured out.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, ok. NOW I see. DAAAAAMN, that was confusing.

To clear it up for other folks, the trick is to double tap *immediately* after finishing zooming in. So double tap actually does two *

completely

* different things based on whether you wait 1 second or don't. I get it now.

Wow, that should be officially explained somewhere, haha. How the heck did you figure that out?!
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I am a genius!
[Nexus One General] nDrg:
I haven't had any problems at all with the pinch-zoom. I find that the double tab is perfect for reading text while the pinch zoom feature gives me added accuracy to choose a small link etc :)
[Nexus One General] balabok:
I don't if it was mentioned somewhere in the thread but if you tap on the text it will auto center the paragraph. Another thing that's cool is that once centered, it stays snapped to the screen center so you can have perfect up and down scrolling. This has been around since day one.

Hi, ive tried hunting as well to find the original HTC Dream housing in Black, the one without the T-Mobile branding below earpiece and has HTC written instead. Ordered one off ebay (after majority if not all were T-Mobile) but arrived today and was T-Mobile, emailed the seller and hope they can supply the HTC one I want!

Anyone know of somewhere we can get this specific housing, as pictured in my attachment?

You have to get a rogers Dream housing. I'm using a Rogers Dream, and mine is exactly like the picture. (On the battery backing it has the rogers logo though)
[G1 Accessories] OG:

[G1 Accessories] agentfusion:
Good news! I found that if you get a rogers dream housing, then google "htc dream accessories" you will eventually find a website that sells a replacement backing that says "powered by google" which removes all branding! I just ordered one myself and changed my splash so now there's nothing left that says rogers on mine.
