[Desire General] McHale:
so should the developer versions of Google phones get their own forum? HTC has slightly changed devices throughout it's history but we've never given them their own subforum.

e.g.

The HTC Kaiser has a front facing camera. AT&T's does not. Did the Tilt get it's own forum?

The original Universal had 64MB of RAM. The updated T-Mobile version has 128. Did it get it's own forum?

The HTC 620, 621, and 622 had differences, one didn't have WiFi, the others did.

The HTC Wizard is different enough between some versions that if you flash a ROM from one on to the other, it will kill it.

Some devices have Sense, some do not. Should they get their own forums? And what happens if the ones that didn't suddenly get SenseUI in an update. Do they lose their own forums?

Look, I don't own XDA and those that do can certainly do what they want. But I've gone through the FCC documents and looked at the ROMimages between the two. They are the same device with differences exactly like the examples I used above (and there are many more). Segmenting the two only hampers development efforts.

[Desire General] skullan:
Not only that, but the S640. Telus only device, different chasis then those, CDMA, but some people were saying it should be lumped in with the other 6XX line.
[Desire General] Taknarosh:
I don't know about you but the HTC Sapphire Forums is littered between 32A and 32B ROMs.
[Desire General] Epedemic:
Agreed... N1/Desire should be kept seperate!

Especially since they probaly do not share hboots and radios... So keeping the forums seperate minimizes risks of people flashing wrong stuff (as was seen on 32A/B quite often)
[Desire General] McHale:
They DO share hboots and radios. They are the same phone. That's my point. Next, we'll start new sub forums for different case colors or carriers or logos or...
[Desire General] sindrefyrn:
If they share radio/hboot they can flash the same ROMs without porting? If that is so, they should have the same section in my opinion.
[Desire General] SGTDavePwnage:
The partition layouts are different on the devices. So no...you cant just take a rom from one and have it work straight away.

People have managed to get Desire Roms running on the n1, but they had to move system data to the data partition to do so.

The Desire is also unlikley to be rootable via unlocking the bootloader. If we put both devices in one section it would just confuse the nooblets.
[Desire General] McHale:
Man if we used THAT as a compass around here, we'd be better off closing the site entirely. You can confuse them no matter what you do. Again, look at the Universal threads. Different RAM sizes but both versions lived happily ever after in the same forum. This site was NEVER intended for newbs. It shouldn't. If it did, most of us would leave.

How much do you guys wanna bet that many ROM's will be made in Nexus1 and Desire flavors. How many LITE ROMS have you seen on XDA? A lite ROM will work on either device without ANY porting or special mods. Why not have them in the same thread/forum?
[Desire General] Maedhros:
I think if their roms are cross compatible, why not have the development sections mergered? They could have separate sections but once some1 clicks on development for N1 or Desire they are lead to the same page.
[Desire General] lambrospower:
yes this could be the best as i see it. there are differences, radio buttons etc,,, there might be other differences for general question etc. but if the two of them have the same structure for roms then maedhros suggested the best, why not having them into one development section!
[Desire General] ralle.gade:
if any1 can proove for me that they share the exact same spl, radio and partition layout then im on it! as it could be the last extra rams that have been used for the /system partition else i think it is like mixing up da hero and sapphire as they are close, but biggest difference is software based
[Desire General] Baldyman1966:
I agree that If the 2 are proved to be identical in development terms upon the desires release, then the forums could be merged, with perhaps a couple of stickies at the top explaining what you need to do to root the phone before you can use the roms. However this should not be done until this proven conclusively on a released phone.
[Desire General] Noonski:
IF roms that can be used on both devices using the same unlocking techniques become a reality, i will take this suggestion up with administration.

(But that won't be soon)
[Desire General] globiboulga:
This is an absolute appalling comment. Condescending and unhelpful. Everyone has to start at some point and a vast silent majority of people visit the site to learn and root... Unless one can prove that you cannot harm one of the devices by using a ROM for the other, the threads should be separated, even if it cost a few duplicates...
[Desire General] McHale:
You either took it wrong or are being a troll. XDA is a developers and hackers forum. We are all newbs at some point but this forum isn't designed for the newb. It's designed for the hacker/developer. I'm not ripping on newbs for being newbs. Hell, I'm a newb again as I just got my AT&T Nexus One yesterday - my first Android phone. But I'm reading and searching and won't have a reason to ask a question for quite some time. All of the information is already here on XDA. Newbs are welcome but we expect them to SEARCH and READ before asking a lot of questions. Some do, some don't. But if we dumbed down the forum, it would ruin it. There'd be so much crap to wade through and so many duplicate threads it'd be too time consuming to do so. THAT was my point.

Maybe we should have separate Desire forums for the silver version and a separate forum for the charcoal version. That should help, right? Because newbs who don't read are going to ask over and over if the ROM being discussed will work on their particular color of Desire. And that won't make anything confusing, right? Some ROMS posted in one forum and some posted in the other (just like the Desire vs. Nexus One). People will continually ask if the ROM will work on their device because it was in a different forum.

And FYI, you can harm the device just as easy using the correct ROM on the same device, or by running a simple command, or... If they read everything before they start, they will have no problems. If they don't read, well, we can't hold their hands.

This forum is catered to experienced hackers. We will help newbs through every part of every process, but this is still a forum for experienced hackers. If you don't like that, find a place that spoon feeds or does things for you. And if this place ever turns into a forum that spoon feeds and everyone asks to do things for them, most of us will surely leave. Then who will help them?
[Desire General] irkan:
the question is why not?

Why is it important to you to keep them in one section? are you thinking about server space utilizing ? :)

I mean what is the harm of making them in separate sections (what is the harm to you)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] osrix:
I Dunno if this deserves a thread or not,

but it struck me today that we (Rhodium Users) have been getting some really excellent ROMS just recently from all the Chefs who gracefully share their hours of hard work along with all the beta testers who allow their devices to used and put in meaningful bug lists so that the majority can experience something a little better that HTC originally offered.

Maybe someone can put it better than me but i just wanted to say a Massive Thankyou to everyone who actively contributes to ROM development on our devices but especially to the Chefs who put all the research fixes and Often cutting edge software together to make some astounding ROMs ready for us all to use.

I'm sure we all thank the chefs individually at least i hope so! and please DONT turn this thread into a "who's is the best ROM" cos that sucks.

But what ever your preference in build or manila flavour or chef, I invite you to join me in a collective thread of appreciation for our Windows Mobile ROM Development Forum and all who contribute to it so abundantly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] oyebee:
Thanks!

To all u wonderful chefs my hats off to u!thanks a bunch and keep up the good work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] F2504x4:
Yep this is a well deserving thread, cause with out you guy's (the Cooks) we would all just be conformists leading simplistic lives :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwambewright:
Thank you

A big thank you once again for all the hard work it is very much appreciated. Our devices would not be as great without the effort these guys put into cooking ROMs for a bunch of whiners and complainers but they continue and put up with it. My hats off to all of them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nemo0405:
yupp a big thanks to all of the chefs for all their hard work and excellent and unique roms :) thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you...i love u guys and gals :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bteljuice:
Not to be a party pooper or anything, but I think a small donation (a dollar or two at least) will please the Chefs quite a lot.

If each one donated a dollar to his favorite chef of the rhodium community, he/she would appreciate it a lot. I know many GREAT CHEFS, who's names will stay anonymous) have stopped developing roms just because they weren't getting anything back in return (they were devoting their time to developing, THEY DO HAVE OTHER WORK TO DO AS WELL). They are not asking much. Its only a small donation.

What is a dollar/month compared to what they have given us.

Oh and, Thank you CHEFS :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] osrix:
Well said my friend! Donate indeed not only to the chefs but to xda as well!

I'm pleased to see such response off thanks to our good chefs, as you say i know members have stopped developing roms due to lack of appreciation and by starting this thread i hoped to counteract that a little :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] somesurferguy:
i have 3 htc touch pros that are verizon phone...they all hang up when i flash them with any rom at 0% i see the security unlocker first with the three primary colors then it shows another screen with a progress bar and it doesnt go past 0%. i am running a vista laptop with net framework 3.5 sp1.

what am i doing wrong? please help.?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] somesurferguy:
i also tried hard spl unlocker but just get the pie spinning around and it just does that forever. i tried searching the forums but i couldnt find anything that worked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AthenaLod:
you have probably done this, but did you make sure that the roms are intended for cdma devices (not gsm)?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] somesurferguy:
yes i have. ive tried several roms, and i either get 0% or i get the status pie spinning around and around. and i tried one you boot off the sd card and i couldnt get that to work.

Hi.

I have tried to install and uninstall Windows mobile decive center, but it can not find my HD2. A have also another pc with XP and Active sync and this have the same problem. I have checked on the active sync on the usb to the computer on my phone, do you have any advice?

Regarding

[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
Does it work when putting it in Disk Mode (with a Micro SD card in the HD2)?

Hi.

I have tried out this too, but no connection :(

[HD2 General] TheChozen:
Just to make sure...

....you have tried to remove your HD2 - restarted your computer and then reconnected your device?

On Vista I had the same problem with my TP2, but restarting did the trick :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] akfossan:
Hi

I have tried out thisd too, but have the same problem:confused:
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you say it won't connect to active sync our in hard disk mode, does the hd2 recognize that the usb cable had been inserted?(im going to assume you haver already tried every usb port on your computer)

if there is absolutely no activity in either mode I would suggest either a faulty cable or faulty device.

tried it on another computer?
[HD2 General] akfossan:
Hi.

I have tried all this, so i will take a hard reset of my phone. Hope this will resolve the problem.

[Networking] bhuether:
I installed it on my MT3G and have it working with sipdiscount.com (using their server and login info). But I can't get the pbxes.org config to work. I have followed all steps and have triple checked my settings. I have a pbxes username and extension (300). I have a trunk specified and an outbound route. But all that happens is I get a registration failed error - 404 not found. and yes, I am entering the pbxes username with a -300. I really am doing everything right...

Any ideas? This seems to suggest a pbxes issue.

thanks,

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
Hey does any one here know how to change the font of the whole phone?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
id like to know this as well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rogerbean101:
Download Metamorph and find the fonts for it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
surely we can change the fonts without having that app?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rogerbean101:
Not sure? but thats how i do it....its the simplest way for me lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] stephenf:
Try this

Try this thread... you can flash an update.zip and it will replace the system font.

OK, I am too junior to post the link without the moderator's approval, but if you search for "font revolution" in the hero forum you can find it...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] justinisyoung:
it's pretty simple.

navigate to /system/fonts

i'm not sure if you can just replace fonts and have them work, but i know that's where the fonts are. lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiptoekirk:
I need to change the DNS settings for a connection I use a lot that is managed by company who has setup OpenDNS to block a lot of stuff...

How can I go about doing this on a wpa encrypted wireless network where i do no not have a dynamic ip address?? It seems it only supports changing a DNS server when the phone is setup dynamically.. I need it to work on DHCP, I just need the DNS server changed, i dont need or want a dynamic ip..

HELP!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henihazbay:
This is the code needed to change the DNS settings. Just connect your N1 to your PC and open command in your PC then;

adb shell setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

adb shell setprop net.dns2 8.8.8.4
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiptoekirk:
That did not seem to do it... I tried several times with wifi on and off and even restarted the phone.. any other ideas??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasn77:
Not sure if i get that... When you use static ip there is a section that allows you to specify the DNS... not sure what you mean :confused: The problem as i see it, is that there is no easy way (via android GUI) of changing DNS if you use DHCP

Anyways... try...

adb shell setprop dhcp.eth0.dns1 <IP>

adb shell setprop dhcp.eth0.dns2 <IP>

etc

This will only change the DNS server. If you know shell scripting, You could make this more permanent by editing :

/system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/20-dns.conf

If that works, and you are unfamiliar with shell scripting, then post some conditions (i.e SSID of network, gw of network etc) and i'll see if i can knock something up for you.

Hope that helps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiptoekirk:
Yes i am wanting to just change the DNS server that my phone uses when connecting to wifi but i cant set it up dynamically so i am forced to keep it dhcp.

i tried the way you said and it didn't do it.. this android stuff is new to me.. after i type in that command in it does not say anything.. i have rooted and unlocked my nexus one and pretty good with computers but this linux stuff is another ballgame..

ive done some dos scripting back in the day, is this anything similar? what other info would u need from me to create the file? SSID, password, ??

THANKS!

i cant hear the ring ring noise when making a call the only way i know the call is connected is if the person talks

in short i give miss call sometimes so its very risky because i dont know when to hang up before the person im calling has answered.

Umm . . .

Maybe I'm missing something, but all you have to do is push the speaker button and you can hear the dialing sound. At least that's the case with some of the ROMs I installed.
[HD2 General] richjones19772000:
i carnt any downloads from opnmarket i says its downloaded apps but they dont appear on my phone
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
I'm guessing that you are using the OpnMarket app?. It ususally works OK for me (except wehen it refuses to connect). Did you just download an app then close OpnMarket or did you install it using OpnMarket too?

Here is how I use OpenMarket (sorry if It sounds like I'm trying to teach you how to suck eggs). I click on Download, the download percentage bar shows the status of the download then the Download button turns into install. I click install and it asks me to install on either the device or storage card. Hit ok after the successful install message appears and you get taken back to the OpnMarket app (with an uninstall option for your installed app). I close OpnMarket and press the Windows button on my HD2 and the application is at the bottom of the screen.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sirair:
Hello,

i have two text fields and one button in my app. I wanna that the texts of these textfiels will appear in a web page, which will get opened when i click the button.

I think, it's possible to get the form of the web page and after its elements to write in.

I develop in c#.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
So basically what are you trying to do... from ur app to html?(this is what i understood)

and for what that html will be used will it be a custom webpage or some websites page? if you could explain it would be better.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sirair:
yes, i wanna write into html from my application. The website is a Custom webpage.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
In that case if the webpage is not from any website. u can create the webpage from your app. i mean write the html with the data from your app.

in case it is a normal website and you want to fill the fields there u may consider using Webbrowser class. I think u can use it for the earlier case also... not sure but u can always experiment.

Hi all!

I'm looking the best software for encrypting files and folders under Windows Mobile 6. There are tons of such programs and I don't know which one to choose ;)

Basically I need something to encrypt all my notes (text files?) of something which encrypt the whole folder with all my notes. The idea is that it should works smoothly and conveniently:

I'am asking access to encrypted file/folder (from a link or directly) -> I'm requested to input password -> I'm getting access.

[Advantage X7510 General] ramsabi:
I need some assistance on setting up VPN access to my corporate network on my X 7510. I am technologically barely savvy. I am a business user of my X 7510.

Can someone please help me in configuring my device to access my corporate VPN?

The following describes my attempts to configure the VPN settings using the standard VPN configuration available on the device:

I am using the settings given by my network team. We are using a pre-shared key and no certificates. Our corporate VPN uses CISCO ASA 5520. When I setup the VPN there is an "Advanced" option that asks for certain server IP addresses. Our network team says that this need not be used.

I am trying to connect over a GPRS network. The most frustrating part is that the IT Manager uses an iPhone and he downloaded a VPN client for 9 dollars from the Apple Store and it works beautifully !!!

But I am not able to connect and I get an error message that says that there is a problem with my user name and password. The message asks me to turn off and turn on my device to see if that fixes my problem. But it does not.

I have triple checked all the setting details with our network team and all the data are correct. My network team can monitor connection attempts and they say that they are not even able to see any connection atempts from my device.

Can somone please help me?
[Advantage X7510 General] Vico100:
I Think it depends on the rom you use. If that vpn package is there.
[Advantage X7510 General] rsawoseyin:
I also have a problem with my VPN on x7510. I think I get all the settings right because it says I am connected to my corporate network. Our network administrator from the network monitoring desk actually sees me connected. But I cannot access any application on the network, not even my company's intranet homepage.

Another irritating part is that when I fire up any application that requires internet access but not VPN - like Nimbuzz, the VPN starts to connect through GPRS - very annoying. So I have now set up the VPN to disallow internet access.
[Advantage X7510 General] ramsabi:
rsawoseyin

Can you please share how u have setup the VPN? I am not even able to connect.

Isn't there anybody else here who can assist?

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shenriquez84:
Hello All,

I hope someone can help me with this.

I have a TP2 (Sprint) and I need to use it for At&t.

The first thing I did was unlock the device using RhodiumWUnlocker from Olipro (and made my donation :)).

I did all steps, and everything went fine. No problems. And it detected AT&T

Then I flashed the ROM with EnergyROM Leo Manila 2.5 WM6.5 v 16Feb2010, By NRGZ28. (File: Energy.RHOD500.23529.Leo_MaxManila.16.Feb.2010.rar) - Still all well, no problems.

Then it went back to stock and could not detect AT&T. So I flashed the Radio Version: 4.49.25.91 from this thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=549939.

Now I cannot turn on my phone at all - No "touchpro2" screen, no bootloader, nothing at all. The phone doesn't react to any combinations of buttons to turn on or load up bootloader. When I connect the phone to the computer (Vista by the way) the charging orange light comes on for about 3 minutes then goes off. Then I press the power button and the light comes back on, but nothing else happens to the phone.

Please help!!! Let me know what's wrong and how I can fix it, please!!! I'll make another donation to fix it.

Thanks!
