[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devilmc:
Hi there guys.

I got a wind brandend HD2.

Installed HSPL, Installed latest Radio, then installed COOKED ROM. I cannot get HTC SENSE and MAIN SCREEN to work, im hanged in a sort of "welcome screen" and i don't have all the functions and options that i had in the official rom... can someone help me? I Also tried to install different radio versions and to hard reset the device, but nothing worked.

I Have only this MENU

I want standard HTC MENUS (as i see in the screenshot of the cooked roms).

Maybe I'm too stupid to get out from this "welcome screen" :) Any Help?

---------------------

Salve Ragazzi,

Ho preso un HD2 che all'avvio aveva una schermata della wind.

Subito dopo averlo preso ho installato l'HSPL, e in seguito l'ultima radio, e poi ho cominciato a provare tutte le rom cooked. Ma con qualsiasi rom non riesco a far funzionare TF3D e HTC SENSE, MANILA e COMPANY, sono bloccato in una sorta di "Welcome Screen" e non ho nessuna funzione e opzione che avevo prima con la ROM UFFICIALE, qualcuno può aiutarmi? Ho già anche provato a installare varie radio differenti e a fare hard reset, ma niente ha funzionato.

Il mio HD2 si riduce a solo questo menù:

Voglio i menù standard e tutti gli effetti grafici che avevo prima.

Magari si tratta di una grossa banalità e sono io troppo stupido per uscire da questa specie di "Welcome Screen" :) Ma vi prego di aiutarmi :P

Texture remove Ameba because don't close all applications, you can install ameba and ameba settings so you can persolanize it ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] icematrix:
But you have install LynxEx1.2???

The image that you have post is Windows Mobile 6.5.x without active HTC sense, for active you go in settings, today, elements flag htc sense so you see HTC manila
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devilmc:
the point is that i don't see SETTINGS ANYWHERE! Where should i find it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] icematrix:
You can press bottom left windows icon?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devilmc:
yes but in the icons that appear there is no icon for "IMPOSTAZIONI" or "OPTIONS", just Programs, tools and so on
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] icematrix:
click Impostazioni after HOME and flag in elementi htc sense :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devilmc:
That's the point, there is NO IMPOSTAZIONI :D Just Home, introduzione, avvisi, marketplace :D and so on with ALL the cooked roms i installed.. way too strange ah? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] icematrix:
Install a stock ROM 1.43 by Sd, after install HSPL and a new cooked rom ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sakiin:
Thanks for the interjection. I know the installation and all that mate. This can be applied to any application but I just wanted to hear from the chef on why he felt AMeBa need to be removed. Hope that is ok,

FYI, AMeBa does a brilliant job in v1.1.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vijavij:
new version release

Just for comparison I tried most of the other roms today but none comes closer to your rom. Do you have any plans of updating to new manila release.

Thank you very much.

question about working links for watching Italian streaming TV
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] homocurrens:
hi,

like I have said before....I'm waiting for a new links of RAI and MEDIASET and after I will do a installation package for all....... :D:D:D

now are online just some regional and other not important channel......:(

assure you that I will do :);)

sorry noob here silly question how do i get landscape mode to wrk on this much appreciated for all your help and knowledge
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vijavij:
Go to windows->tools and press sense landscape .

The HD2 will restart and you will have landscape mode enabled. Frm the home screen press the left most hardware button for some time to switch between landscape and portrait mode.

Good Luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AF241:
please include the manila version with reader in your next rom. i love your roms but need the reader as well so have to switch. thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hummy15:
Highly recommended

This is one of the best ROM ever. I have flashed other roms for some time, almost on daily basis. This is certainly one of the best. I am keeping this for a awhile. Highly recommended for those of you who want plenty of memory, stability and speed. Battery life is also very good. Look no further. Download and flash now. Thank you Chef for your hard work
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] texture:
New version will be coming soon...with more internal storage and latest updates...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hummy15:
Now, we will all be coming here every 5 minutes to check whether the new rom is up for downloading. Thank you. Out today?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Frapal:
Good news... thank you so much to the best italian cook !!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] texture:
In a few days...now i'm testing latest changes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] beccari73:
Per LucaP

Ho provato un mucchio di rom ITA........ma alla fine torno a mettere la LynxEX 1.2......la migliore come stabilità e velocità.:D

Mi raccomando nella tua nuova rom lascia tra i programmi pre installati: Marketplace e Facebook 1.2 .

Complimenti e grazie.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vijavij:
That's a good news from the greatest chef around. You make the best rom in terms of performance and stability.

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] follettoverde:
after lot experiences i went back to LinxEX 1.2 (using MTTY), and i think it's the best italian ROM for HD2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Frapal:
The best italian rom...

having test all other italian roms i revert back to the LinxEX 1.2

Please give us the 1.3 in italian language... I beg you... please, please, please....

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JC_Agga:
So... i've flashing bunch of ROMS and did every procedures i do after flashing. But ever since i installed some ROM, when it's in landscape mode in Sense UI, my screen doesn't work. when i tap he screen, nothing happens. Seems like it's locked into something. Please help!..

Edit-> I did hard reset and doesn't matter if i'm using Sense UI(Leo), or Touchflo 3D. the landscape won't even work on the screen, like i tried to tap start icon, total command, sms messaging, and many more. Nothing works in Landscape)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingsamurai:
Its probably because that version of Touchflo doesn't work in landscape.

If it doesn't work in landscape for other programs you might be in trouble, cos that would probably mean a worn flex cable.

But its probably a software issue. Change the touchflo version?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
sounds like a worn out flex cable. most of the LEO ROMs now have the landscape thing licked and cooked in.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmcphisto77:
Will it be possible to dual boot hero? Maybe:

1. 1.5 and 2.x rom to choose

2. 1.5, 2.x and a windows mobile (just to try) to choose

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I have an idea regarding that:

You'll have to modify initrc:

the first thing it has to do is offer a menu (like in recovery), where you choose your ROM

While installing the ROM, all directories are suffixed, for example, system1, etc1

and symlinked at the end of the installation to /system etc...

Second, depending on the rom version, the corresponding directories (system1/system2, etc...) are symlinked to /system, /data, /etc...

THEN initrc proceeds

Which means that all the symlinking part will have to be at the TOP of initrc, just after the PATH declaration.

This is just a concept; I didn't try it.

If you have the time do do so, let us know of the results.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmcphisto77:
A good approach i suppose, but i'm not able to transform it into a real try... maybe someone can?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
This is very interesting, i can try to do this but i have to know 2 things:

1. How to build a Boot Menu

2. How a recovery works when flashing recovery

Do you know where can i find these infos?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
i was thining about this the other day, it would be awesome.

And another thing, android can run on windows mobile phones, it would be great to be able to run windows mobile on android :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
The "boot menu" would be a simple shell script nested at the beginning of the global initrc,

mainly taking care of the proper symlinking/mounting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] d3sm0nd:
+1

:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Oh ok,

but i still need to know how a recovery works when flashing, i'll try doing some searches on google

@d3smond

I don't think that winmob is portable on android phones...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
I think I read about major kernal issues required to be sorted out. So possible in theory, in practise less so
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] d3sm0nd:
Why? I owned WM devices before and I know that porting a ROM from one device to another is not a problem for cookers (example: port HTC Touch HD ROM to HTC Diamond2) ...

Maybe the kernel/bootloader is the problem... WM drivers are tones out there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Kernel is the problem...

Android is open source, WM no...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] me.b:
Just a thought, but i doubt it is posible to do it in initrc becouse of kernel issues but shouldn't it be possible to have 2 kernels built and symlinked and just make a app that let you choose what system to load next boot and make the intirc and kernel symlinks before reboot? I have no experience with android cooking but some old linux knowledge is still in my head i think. Correct me if i'm totally wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
You can make symlink on every boot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] me.b:
Even have multiple kernels? Isn't that chosen in the bootloader? (thinking back on lilo and the great 90's =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rudgia:
sombody heard about Gen.Y DualBOOT its for windows mobile to run android on windows mobile change that some how so it work on android ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
That rom just start windows mobile and then you can start android through windows mobile using haret, nothing particular....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] d3sm0nd:
I see...

But OK, how for example manufacturers make their device to work on WM? How HTC developers get a new phone running on WM? Do HTC's developers have the source code?

Sorry if it's a stupid question.. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Whoa you're confusing me xD

HTC knows how hardware is built so they can write drivers without problems

Android porting on WM is easier because it's booted using haret

So i was wrong, drivers are the problem not the kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] d3sm0nd:
Hmm, ok.

There is a emulator called Bochs.. it can emulate WM. Maybe we could run it on Android?

I did a little search on google and found out that someone got Bochs working but it crashed when loading the bios.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jmanley69:
How 'bout this....

Maybe instead of playing tricks with symlinks and init.rc and all that.......

Make a boot image that does nothing but ask you "Into which OS would you like to boot?" and that replaces the "boot.img" with the new one you want. Then on each of the boot images (for each OS version), you have one of the commands to flash_image back the "menu" boot image so that the next time the phone power cycles you get prompted. Also, you put a timer in it so that if your phone reboots without you present there's a default (and you don't miss your morning alarm clock or something).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
if you only replace the boot.img what about the filesystem? the boot.img contains mainly the kernel, the filesystem is the main part of the rom.

or am i missing something? if you suggest to flash the whole filesystem from an imagefile that is basically what nandroid does... you can automate this with a pc at hand, one-click rom-switching from the notebook ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
I found a way to do dual boot, kernel is not the problem, i'll start to work on it on the next week
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmcphisto77:
Soooo good Exit!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] subhramani:
Sounds sweeet. Cant wait for this :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
That's great news, always wanted to be able to dual-boot Modaco and 2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nice! How will this go for 'internal space'? (ie. any ideas how much space would be usable by each ROM, since there will need to be a /system and /data for each install. Using apps2sd would reduce space needed for the latter, but may have compatibility issues if you have, say, a 2.1 ROM and a 1.5 ROM on the same phone).

All the best, and I hope you are successful.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
very interested, please let us know about it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Again, mount the sdcard early enough in the initrc and you can thus symlink to anything on the sdcard (provided you have ext* partitions)

You can leave data on DATA: if your systems use odexed apps, thus shaving off space, since dalvik won't need to dexopt to /data/dalvik-cache
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bratfink:
Just wondering if there are any advancements on development for this dual boot, i am also very eager and much looking forward to something like this being developed :D. thanks Exit93 + others
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
yes, exit can you give us something? i also started working on this, the /system/sd mountpoint for apps2sd makes it really complicated... (i wish it wasn't in /system)

my approach is to use a loop mounted image file, which is stored on the sdcard. the mounting is done in init.rc, so all you need to do is flash the boot.img of the rom you want to use.

i asked amon_ra for a feature for the recovery which could make this work. if we had a men entry that would execute a custom script we could be switching roms from recovery within a few seconds, as it involves only a flash of boot.img.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
sorry cant be bothered to read all the way through the thread so apologies if someone has said allready....

I run a 1.5 rom (mrbang) and a 2.1 rom (villainROM) just by preforming nandroid backups.Each time i add stuff i delete the old one and do a fresh backup! Granted it takes 5 mins but is well worth it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
yeah, but it would be cooler if it was quicker...

i have managed to mount an imagefile from the sdcard as /data, but it doesn't work for /system...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
This line alone is what shows me you know what your talking about.

Writing programs is easy, however, making sure you error handle for uncertain situations (such as phone rebooting) is what separates the men from the boys.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
lol, i wouldn't call a reboot an "uncertain" situation, as it happens pretty often. and like i said earlier, it only changes the boot.img, which doesn't help as the main part of the "rom" is the system partition...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
I WOULD call reboot an uncertain situation, or more specifically, an error condition, my phone hasn't been rebooted once unless i wanted to purposely enter recovery and you were talking about it rebooting when you aren't present.

Anyway, this is inimportant, my comment was more of a nod of appreciation for thinking of the little things.

As for implementing this dual boot system, I have no comments, I can't be bothered thinking right now, I'm busy working on a project of implementing a processor I designed on an FPGA.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bratfink:
the link xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623792 is useless to what this thread is trying to achieve. The link you have allows mobiles allready on WM to boot into android on their devices... which knew was possible. The whole issue itself is infact trying to do this the other way around :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
work is ongoing here, though all options resulted in failure so far. if anybody knows anything about the way android mounts partitions from the internal flash please let us know here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sentenza9:
Have a look in /init.rc:

mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system

mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid nodev

mount yaffs2 mtd@cache /cache nosuid nodev

But I think mounting system from sdcard is not the best way.

sdcard access is realy slower than ROM access.

My position is to automate nandroid backup/restore. Have one or more ROM stored in sdcard in .img format. Propose a menu at boot time to switch between ROM. Each time we switch between ROM, backup the last used ROM and restore the selected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i am aware of the commands in init.rc, but where are the aliases (@system, @userdate) defined? i need to change them. and for the nandroid stuff: that is easy, but lame. and takes way to long. i want to boot from my sdcard, don't care about performance...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sentenza9:
Have a look at /proc/mtd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
if going to do always do a nandroid & switch between roms which we can use the clockwork recovery right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sentenza9:
Yep, it would be a custom recovery, but it's just an idea. Basically it would automate the nandroid backup/restore process.

@kendong2 idea to load parts of ROM from sdcard is good but I fear that system would be slow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
does this mean they are "hardcoded" into the kernel?

edit: might be slow, but i don't care for that atm. if we get the mounting sorted we might be able to use mtd5 (/data) as second system partition, so we could have two different roms in flash...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sentenza9:
I'm not realy familiar with mtd subsystem but official site give a lot of information: http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/general.html
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i see, this is valuable information. not sure if and when i have time to dig into this, and additionally it seems a bit "overblown" to switch roms... but again, thanks for the hint.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sentenza9:
I found an interesting topic about the Android boot process: http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?p=33996
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arimozuki:
lol, after reading 4 pages of text i was about to just type THAT in the quick reply box ... itd have been silly if i didnt continue reading.

the difference in my idea is that it stores the backups in os1 and os2 folders in nandroid, boots the custom loader automatically, without having to hold home and times out in 5s to load the currently loaded os. selecting the "SWITCH OS" option does a

nandroid(+ext) backup saves as os3

wipes(+ext)

restores os2(+ext)

after validating os3s integrity

[*]deletes os1

[*]enames os2 as os1

[*]renames os3 as os1​

reboots.

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] n00b001:
Do you mean

"# deletes os1

# enames os2 as os1

# renames os3 as *os2*

# reboots."

if someone knows how to manipulate the mount points of the partitions this might help. afaik they are "hardcoded" into the kernel:

mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd3: 0aa00000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 08200000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 0a5c0000 00020000 "userdata"

also if someone knows how to manipulate the recovery image "recovery" binary (NOT the recovery image itself, i know how to do that), please make yourself known here :) the sources are available, but i am no dev...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
anyone asked the guys who make openiboot i mean they have dual boot working on the iphone 2g its now running iphone os and android 1.6 if they find and make hooks for that maybe they can give a pointer in right direction
