[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I've had a quick look at this ...

I started with comparing the files in my rom with the files in the port, I used a script to compare the md5 hashes with all files in /system and found they were the same, which is good news... whoever created this port didn't change binary files in /system

I unpacked the boot.img and compared the md5sums on the kernel and ramdisk, they are both different to the original rom. So it looks like the poster above me has already found the solution, you just need a "fender kernel" to work with this device and to port any rom, and of course the wlan.ko built for that kernel for wifi to work. Packing the new kernel into a boot.img and then using that boot.img in cyanogenmod (or whatever) should work, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't ... ? Obviously you would need to build a donut kernel for cm/superD though since they are still 1.6, and eclair kernels for eclair roms. CM does some other stuff in the ramdisk to enable init scripts and a2sd to work, those changes would need to be carried over to any cm port.

Also one other thing, to enable bluetooth to work you have to change texas to texasalt in the init.sapphire.rc (in the ramdisk).

I can have a look at building a fender kernel tomorrow - it's late and I need sleep ... although I guess by tomorrow one of you will have done this already :)

Some instructions on building a kernel are here: http://ostebaronen.dk/compiled-my-own-cm-kernel/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
thanks stokes!... ive tried building the kernel but have no luck getting many errors.. i tried both asop and cm... i will give it another go tonight with the how to u linked us too.. but getting your help and having u make the kernel will be awsome!.. cant wait to see your results.. and mines too if i can get it going..lol..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Sweetness!

I've tried the Fender kernel and CM ramdisk. No workie. I've even tried using some files from his ramdisk. Maybe I'll give it another shot tonight.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
I just tried this and bluetooth is still not turning on.

Is there something else that must be done?

logcat attached.

I made this adjustment

I don't get any errors while attempting to turn on the bluetooth on the phone itself it just says "Turning on..." and then stops after a few seconds.

here is my init.sapphire.rc file:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Not sure about the bluetooth issue now ... I thought that would be an easy fix when I noticed the texas/texasalt thing. You did edit the file correctly.

Could someone running one of the ported roms extract the kernel config?

adb pull /proc/config.gz

Then extract the config and either post it here in code tags or on pastebin.com? Should give us some clues what other kernel configs are needed for the 3.5mm jack and the touchscreen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Here you go.

Thanks!

http://pastebin.com/a7jNiJvg
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Could someone also get the config.gz from the stock rom too? I don't ask much do I. :)

I think we should try building a kernel from these sources: (I'll give it a go tonight)

git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/msm.git

Looking through the change log I can see:

Not sure exactly what the touchscreen differences are in the fender mt3g edition but hopefully it will also be supported in the latest kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Pastebin and attached config.gz (in the zip file) for STOCK.

http://pastebin.com/BSQi8VCw
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
okay here is my first attempt ...

What I've done is used the stock kernel config and make a home brew kernel from these sources, I made one small change, enabling 528mhz as the maximum cpu speed in auto scaling.

There were a few other small changes where the android-msm-2.6.29-donut sources contained some options not present in the stock kernel, so these needed to be configured.

I have no idea if this will work, I can't test as I don't have a myTouch 1.2. But if it does, it means we should be able to add stuff into the kernel like support for netfilter (tethering) among other things, and incorporating it into existing roms. This is just the first step.

Can someone running the stock fender rom try booting this boot.img? The wlan.ko is also in there, you will need to push this over if the kernel boots and you want to enable wifi. This is how you boot it, without making any changes to your device

fastboot boot new_boot.img

If this doesn't work, then it means we need to try different kernel sources to the ones I used. It seems to me the problem is we don't know what kernel sources to use, unless I am simplifying things too much?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
So this is for the stock rom?

Also, we can't fastboot yet. Can we use flash_image instead?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Yes this is for the stock rom just as a test ..

I didn't know you couldn't fastboot. I'll make it into an update.zip if you like?

Edit: Post updated with an update.zip attached, is this any use?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Sure. Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that. We still have a locked spl. We rooted via goldcard, flashed the recovery then had to fastboot the locked recovery afterwards. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Wow. :)

Update.zip is in my previous post. Do a nandroid first just to be safe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Trying this now. Will report back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Of course I'll do a nandroid. Do you think I'm a noob? :p

Good thing I did too because the touchscreen doesn't work. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
When I tried this, it goes to first boot screen... reboots/vibrates, first boot screen again, and goes right back into recovery mode without me even touching the buttons.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
I find it interesting that our two devices, especially with your themed' roms behave differently even though the LE/Fender is supposed to be roughly the same thing as the MT3G 1.2, yet my patching of his update reboots me into recovering, and yours boots you into a no-touchscreen device.

This is what happens
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
well i cheated, try flash_image boot new_boot.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Just sits at the prompt after doing so and stays in recovery:

/ # flash_image boot boot.img

/ #
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
i tried and got same results
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
with the boot.img in the root directory of your sdcard...

in recovery and with adb

#mount -a

#cd /sdcard

#flash_image boot boot.img

#reboot

that's what I did and I could get it to start but the touchscreen didn't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Tried it, did manage to get to the second bootloader.

And I can confirm, as you said, touchscreen is dead.

Using the trackball I was able to get into phone setting, and I can confirm, that while the touch screen is dead, bluetooth works. Wifi does not (cuz it hasn't been patched yet when booted using your method).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
I just tried the update.zip too just for the hell of it. my phone reboots from htc magic to htc magic (repeating). No different from you guys. But flash_image boot works but we don't have touchscreen.

so why is it that when flashing with an update.zip fails but flash_image works (for booting at least)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Because when you flash_image boot boot.img, its not also grabing wlan.ko in the modules folder. My guess is that update.zip via the meta data is trying to apply wlan.ko which already exists on my rom, and gets permission denied when it tries to overwrite it on a RO file system.

That's my guess anyways as to why it would boot from boot.img by itself, but not update.zip which contains a separate module to be applied.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Perhaps... but by looking at it the only thing that I notice different from other ones is set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:

his:

ebi/32a patch:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
so i decided to take stokes boot.img and the wifi patch he made and add it to the fender rom zip file and resigned it.. it booted with no touch screen working.. wifi was working but bluetooth wasnt... i know this is some what the same results but i jus gave it a try for the hell of it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
So i guess it's back to the drawing board. :(

But at least it's getting some attention.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Out of curiosity, if you are currently running a 2.1 Sense ROM since you've last edited your first post (March 3) and today is Mar 18, being a two week difference I am wondering how that's coming along?

Also... can you give us any advice on porting other roms for this device?

I've personally tried building the kernel from source, different ramdisks, cm ramdisk with the fender init.rc, etc. In other words, can we have the source?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Next thing to try would be my fresh kernel with the ramdisk from the port. Just in case there is something in the init.rc that is activating the touchscreen. If that doesnt work then it will prove these kernel sources are not useful to us.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Is it possible to unpack a kernel?

If so then perhaps we can unpack the fender kernel to pull some of the files from that and place them (or replace them) in the CM (or whatever rom) kernel.

Rebuild the new kernel then rebuild the boot.img.

I've searched but can't find anything on editing or unpacking the kernel. The best that I've been able to do was open it with a hex editor. Needless to say that was pointless.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bossman101:
and so we keep waiting
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
Nice 5th post. Really? People are working on it and if you don't like waiting then click some of the links that st0kes posted and do it yourself!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I don't think its possible. It we could we wouldn't need to constantly pester htc for the sources all the time!

Here's attempt no.2, it's the same kernel, but the ramdisk from the port-stokes-eclair rom. Probably wont work but it's worth a shot. It's not an update.zip, it's just a zip.

Are you guys getting anything in adb logcat whilst booting when booting a rom with the non-functioning touchscreen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
:P k, little lost, but which exact file is test.img replacing? Is it a boot image?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
yeah sorry, I probably should have renamed that to boot.img to avoid confusion.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Yea I kinda figured that might have been what it was, so right now I'm currently booting (via flash_image boot test2.img), I got logcat running from the beginning, lemme know if you want the log file.

edit

Booted, no touch screen though.

Apologies if this question has been asked already, is there a way to script my email settings [without using Microsoft MyPhone] so that I can run the script after flashing a new rom?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ctbear:
Hello everyone

First of all I am a completely newbie in manila editing. I have been trying to find a sense 2.5 slider set that suits my taste but I still can't find one :/ SO i decided to make my own

I did a search about mode9 editing but couldn't find anything...can anyone point me to a thread? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
You can just use m9editor. The only thing you need to do for a slider with mode9 might be to hide the active tab icon when that tab is selected with a transparent slider (otherwise you get an overlap of 2 icons when using a transparent slider). To change the graphic files, you would use cfcgui. Choose the slider and export to png with that program. Edit png to your liking and place it back in manila file with cfcgui.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ctbear:
That's actually what I want to do exactly :D

I looked at the m9editor and opened some extracted manila files, but I don't quite understand the parameters :( Do you know what I have to edit exactly to remove the overlapping image?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eck2911:
hi guys,

I just wanted to ask you if maybe anyone here can tell me what i have to do to get flac an wave files working on the htc media player?

I'm asking, because i'd like to leave my ipod video 5g (30gb with rockbox) at home and buy a 16gb card for the hd2 ;)

any solutions?

greetz,

Eck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rikardo1979:
Install and use TCpMP player instead of HTC original music player. Works perfect with all kind of audio, video and pic files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Quantell:
Is there any way to use remote control buttons in TCpMP ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anomandrus:
Not that I know of. Anyway Pocket Player also supports plugins and you can download tha ape and flac ones from the Conduits website.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Quantell:
Let's visit Conduits website then, Thanks a lot man :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TheOnlyPsycho:
Yes, but isn't there any way to make the plugins work with the original media player, because i really like the tab player of the HD2, fits better to the whole device than a third party player and I don't want to start installing millions of apps to be able to open each file, I mean isn't it better to find a way to make it more simple and don't have to full up the memory and the registry of the phone?:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] slartibartfasst:
Bump... any way of integrating FLAC decoding into this nice-looking program?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] romano76:
i also would like more plugins ffor the htc player because the controls look realy good and it plays full screen. flv, divx, etc, etc, and even wmv would be nice. somebody please.:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] donnadoop:
Hi, Im new to this forum and to my XDA IIs which I bought on ebay. It's on windows 2003, and I have done a hard re-set as it froze first time I used it. I'm on O2 pay-as-you-go in the UK. I've tried all suggestions I can find online to get on the internet via wi-fi, but all I get is 'no modem at above number'.

I contacted o2 help, and was told that it's because it was originally a contract phone and wont connect to the internet on a pay-as-you-go sim. I'm sure there has to be a way around this (well I'm hoping so!) and would appreciate advise please.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
uhmmm, have you tried to start wifi via Wireless Manager? The wifi has absolutely nothing to do with pay as you go or with the SIM card for that matter. It is a different part of the device.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] donnadoop:
I feel silly now. I had been on the wireless manager many times and tried all different settings, but I thought I would try once more before I replied, and I don't know how or why but it's working now! Thanks!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] donnadoop:
woops, I'm back again! I had a look and it says GPRS is now connected, even though my wireless icon is open at the bottom - any ideas?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
So, you are having issues with GPRS or with Wifi. They are two separate things.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cheapusenet:
are you attempting to connect via your O2 GPRS intenret, or connect to your wifi via the wifi connection.

it sounds like it may be trying to use grps over wifi.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] donnadoop:
When I go to the wireless manager theres buttons for GPRS, Bluetooth and WIFI.

The GPRS has a drop down menu which has these options:

mobile web GPRS

my connection 1

my connection 2

O2UK WAP GPRS

WAP network GPRS

WLAN has no drop down menu, and when I click it, it switches on or off.

When I was connected before, the wireless icon was open at the bottom of my screen, but then I noticed it said GPRS connection is in use. When I click on the wireless icon at the bottom of the screen, I get a page which says Wireless LAN manager, and there's a box with current configuration (SSID : Mode: BSSID: MAC: Tx Rate Channel ... etc) the boxes are all greyed, and have no information in them.

There's 3 options at the bottom of this page on my phone - 'main' : 'settings' : 'LEAP'. When I go to 'setting's, it has power save mode. In 'LEAP' it has SSID.....Authentication Type, with nothing in the columns below. There are options for 'New' : 'Modify' : 'Delete'

When I go to 'New' it has boxes for filling in SSID : User Name : Password : Domain. Authentication Type choice of Open System or EAP.

I tried using my SSID from my BThub, but I don't know where to find the information for username etc (I tried using my own name but even though I've put information in the field, it gives the message "user name is required' and I can't go any further.

I'm hoping I'm on the right track to getting on my Wi-Fi and hope I'm giving the correct information!

The GPRS seems to connect no problem now, but it's the wireless I'd like to use as the GPRS has cost me some of my credit.

Thanks guys!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Switch off the GPRS connection and then turn on the Wifi. If it finds a network, it will give you a prompt saying that it found x and y wireless networks. Select one and if it is protected, it will prompt you for the network key. It should not try to connect to GPRS if your wifi is on... Having said that, you have to turn wifi on and establish a connection first before attempting to use any app that pulls data from the internet. The PPC is configured so that it will automatically turn on GPRS if it doesn't have any other way available to pull the data (and it will not turn on wifi by default either). Good luck.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] donnadoop:
Thanks :D

Its been a while, but I just popped back to say thanks! I managed to figure out how to use GPRS when on the move and wifi when Im at home thanks to you guys! Looking at it now - 3 months later.... it all seems pretty obvious, but you helped me when I didn't have a clue. Im now a dedicated fan of the XDA iis and have successfully flashed mine to win 6.5, and have bought one for me darling other half, and a graphite for my daughter :D. Thanks again xx

Hi all !!!

I am a NOOB and please forgive me if i m asking a silly question..:)

I got a used unlocked AT&T fuze thru e-bay about a month ago. It had the stock AT&T rom which totally sucks :(

I want to flash a new ROM. But the seller is unaware whether HARD SPL was flashed before.

The tri colour boot loader screen shows 1.90.OliNex.

I m afraid to flash anything still cos if i brick this phone i have no money to buy another one in the near future :(

Can i brick my phone if i flash HARD SPL again ? :confused:

Or do you guys have any other advice for me ?

Thanks in advance. Please help!!!!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Teej53214:
It sounds like your phone is already has the SPL flashed... but flashing it a 2nd time won't really harm anything... just is a needless step.... So, if it makes you feel more confidant, the feel free to do it again.... Doing so should not brick you phone...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
If you flash hard spl a second time, you will just waste time.

Flash whatever you want, you're good to go. Just don't be a moron and flash a cdma rom or a rom for another device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] castor999:
Thanks so much for ur prompt advice guys. I finally flashed ENERGY ROM. :D MAN custom ROMs rock

sorry for the noob questions....

anyone? :)
[HD2 General] henv:
Almost every rom has titanium and sense as UI's. But you can also isntalled spb mobile shell next to them. I had that on my hd (not the 2) so on the 2 its possible. I think its even possible to also install wisbar Advanced Desktop next to them.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
OF course you can install any shell, or use default WM today screen. I still don't understand what do you mean by basic size of UI.
