Seeing as he got a leaked alpha rom from an unnamed source, my guess is that he also got extra help from said unnamed source with rooting a rom.

The thing I am very curious about is whether or not a gold card will be required to flash a custom rooted rom onto the desire, or if a loophole has been discovered so anyone with a desire will be able to do this.

The 72 hour window for that 500 dollar bet is coming to a close :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Anyone with a Desire can create a goldcard though so i don't get that last comment?

Gotcha. ... Even though all I really know about SPL is from the old days of WindowsMobile, and that meant one name: OlliePro ... So where is team OlliePro these days? Surely not sticking with Windows Mo--Phone

Totally agree. "Shucks, it won't be for another 2 weeks"

[Desire Android Development] nerdo:
Looooooooooooooooool :D
[Desire Android Development] deprecate:
What I meant...

There are quite a few extra steps required when perusing the gold card route. This requirement will seriously weed out a lot of people no matter how detailed of an FAQ you create. Now I have no problems with this but after seeing how many people can't sort out how to issue simple fastboot commands, one can only imagine the calls for help requiring the gold card steps will invoke :)

Sure, anyone can create gold card if they have a desire. My ask is if a gold card will be the ONLY means or if Paul has found another route...that's all.

When the phone comes out,

I'll tell you guys a little secret that could help with getting root.

This trick should work for all HTC phones so far.
[Desire Android Development] _Dejan_:
Why you can tell us now?

The phone is out already...
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah the phone is out...or do you mean the official date? Well it's official out to T-Mobile customers so!

the Desire is already out on T-Mobile, and most other networks expect it from the 7th

They seem to reckon it's been done. I only skim read it - but seemed to me that what they are asking you to do would require ADB but I didn't see any mention of that.

How legitimate is this page?

[Desire Android Development] pipomolo42:
When looking for strings inside the radio image, one can find this:

In the worst case scenario, this means that the IPL first loads an hypervisor, which among other things controls write access to the NAND, and that SPL and everything above (kernel & system) is ran inside a virtual machine controlled by the hypervisor, and has to "ask nicely" before it can access the protected areas and devices.
[Desire Android Development] Framework43:
Opps guys, sorry I didn't know it was out :P

I am not from Europe so I wasn't keeping up with the updates XP

Anyways, while we were trying to get root for the Droid Eris(unfortunately some people on a certain firmware cant root yet) we tried lots of different methods.

For anyone who has ever had Windows Mobile, you would know about something called mtty.

With generic drivers , you can use mtty to have access to important things on the Desire, such as nvram. I suggest looking in there to try finding something , such as unlocking the security in HBOOT from S-ON to S-OFF.

Good luck guys, hope you get root soon!
[Desire Android Development] coolbho3000:
HTC would not go to such lengths. The Tattoo protection was broken with a very simple kernel module.
[Desire Android Development] StuMcBill:
Paul just made a few Twitter posts.

I am sure he will get it, its just a matter of time. :D
[Desire Android Development] pipomolo42:
Yeah, maybe I put too much trust into ok-labs marketing speech.

One big difference between the Tattoo and the Desire, Legend and Nexus though is that the new models use a Snapdragon chip. It's not impossible that Qualcomm "upgraded" the security on this one.
[Desire Android Development] coolbho3000:
Yeah, it's not possible to S-OFF the Nexus One's bootloader using older methods. Though I think the 7225 in the Tattoo uses a similar architecture to the 7227.
[Desire Android Development] NCFreezz:
It will be rooted

I just heard that Nathan Russell and Paul O'Brein are in to the Desire so there is no way it is going to stay locked!!!

[Desire Android Development] ChaosOfChris:
If you would take a look at the previous posts in this thread you'll see the same question asked several times (I think I was the first one btw ;?D )..

The short answer is: no

The slightly longer answer is: No, they simply re-posted the method used for rooting the Nexus One (just changing the names etc) based on the pretense that "it's the same phone".. (which it is not..)
[Desire Android Development] jolpool:
cheers for the answer. I did check the other rooted thread but did not use the search function.

[HD2 General] Savage-wp:
I live in South Africa, and am pretty limited with sat nav options. Co-pilot has no maps for us. So i'm pretty much left with Tom Tom.

Does Tom Tom 7 integrate with the built in Navi Panel of the HD2?

I've also seen on these forums that TT7 is not actually made for the HD2, and that you have to make some tweaks to get it to work. Is this true, or does is just work after the install.

Personally, i think for a phone that costs this much, it should come with free sat nav software.
[HD2 General] TeddyBe:
Hi there, TomTom7 works great on my HD2.

Even with new 'Laurentius26 HD2 [LEO] V4.5 Ultimate' rom, I can use it in landscape!!! (laurentius26.net)

[HD2 General] bonze04:

[HD2 General] Savage-wp:
Thanks for your response.

Does it work with the built in Nav-Panel, or do you just use the Tom Tom interface?

sorry for the noob question but , is it okay to charge the phone thru usb host cable ? with the proper male to male usb connectors , connected to my pc ? :confused:

many thanks
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
cant u just use the micro usb lead that comes in the box and charge via usb,

your way should work just more connections.
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
hmmm ... do u get the battery charge icon if u charge from usb ? i dont , it looks like it doesnt work but im not sure

i didnt get any other usb with my fone , thats why i try it this way , and my charger needs a bit of plug fixing
[TG01 General] valanxda:
When you connect the USB cable to the computer, do you see any changes near computer clock (small icon trying to connect)? have you installed ActiveSync?
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
nah nothing happened at all , guess usb host cable wiring doesnt let it charge the other way ... anyway i found another way to solve my problem , looks real bad but it works :)
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
yes when i plugin via usb i get charge icon il find my host adapter and see if can charge that way to.
[TG01 General] coma11:
Answer

It will charge your device but verrry verrrrry slow...

I had several devices and from my experience (hours of installs and spending time with the device connected to my pc) usb charging stinks ;)

hey, i need some help with a minor detail on my phone. i'm running M2D with my customized version of the Blue Galaxy theme. on my Map Search (Location) tab, there should be a blue map for the background. the map shows up, but it in in black and grey dots. it actually looks just like the original background that was on the ROM, but you can still tell the details of the map. kind of weird. i poked around through my phone all weekend to no avail. i actaully had this installed exactly the same on both of my Tilts (i use my wife's old one for testing ROMs before i put them on my phone), and the one for testing looks like it should, but the one on my phone doesn't look right. it's the file named "HH_LOCATION_MAP_BASE_MAP.png." both are exactly the same in the windows folder and when i bring them up in photo album, they look exactly the same. i can't figure it out. i posted this problem a few days ago, after i checked to make sure the files matched in the windows directory. there are thumbnails attached if anyone needs to take a look to see exactly what i'm talking about. thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Ok so firstly i have spent 30minutes checking and im yet to find it, if its already been asked/answered then sorry :D.

Im basically looking to remove the useless items(for me) on the home screen :

The weather- I check this on the seperate tab so i dont need it

The massive clock- Blocking majority of the screen, has time on the top right so again no need.

Disable quicklinks unless i scroll down the home page(i think this is possible already)

Calendar- Tried removing and is still there.

Im trying to minimise the stuff on the screen to admire the wallpapers :D, havent found a way through the options or via cab's to do any of this, if anyone has suggestions then id appreciate it :).

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
MaxManila (which you can find here at xda) is able to customize almost anything you might want to change - adding or hiding elements is easy.

There may be other options of course, but I think this is the most convenient.

Just make sure you install the correct version for your Manila.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hicks12:
thanks for the reply and links, however i did try those in that thread and i ended up with my HD2 failing to load htc sense :P. Id rather remove the features than make them transparent apart from the slider which i managed to make transparant :).

What section is the download for MaxManila in?. Is it specific for hd2 or is it somewhere else, cant find it on its own in here so far :D.

edit: actually no i missed the no clock from your link! I tried the other parts originally :P, just tried it and it works perfectly now however i stillk need to somehow get rid of the calendar and weather along with quicklinks :P.

My only complaint is that the quality is low, really doesn't do justice to the HD2's screen :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
Well - there's your problem: Don't assume what is normal in your country to be normal everywhere... We have xda-members from all over the world and in some countries sex and eroticism are not as openly displayed as they are in the countries we three live in! And that should be respected! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xZdenis:
Oh dude, you really want people from all around the world to adjust their behaviour to rules of one (or couple) country or religious group?

I think that if the title says says hot and sexy wallpapers, they can make an image and not to open it, if it offends them, even if there no 18+ warning.

Or maybe our muslim pals can show us how do they pictures hot and sexy wallpapers :)

Is it something like this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wacky.banana:
Let's not drift too far off topic here please as it is all too easy to cause offence.

The title of this thread carries an over 18 warning which is fine. Let's be sensible about this.

Thanks for your cooperation.

WB
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
Eventhough a mod has warned us not to get off-topic too far, I have to respond:

Isn't what you're expecting the opposite? You want others to adjust just because we're very liberal about sex and eroticism... Everyone can have their opinion about this - we should just make sure everyone can handle it the way he/she wants. And that's why a 18+ warning in the topic title is the right thing to do! It doesn't hurt you (maybe it makes the thread even more interesting to you... ;) and others know what to expect and can avoid it if the want to!

I hope I won't get smacked by the mods now... :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xZdenis:
It's not about the warning, i don't really care if the topic's name. It's about principle. The author made a topic in conformity with his moral and legal rules, what corresponds with the rules of majority. Then there's a minority that demands the majority to submit under their rules.

Maybe you don't realise this, but if you were under 18 years, you would be discriminated against only on the basis of this minority demands, because you won't be allowed here, even if in your country and the country of the autor it's legal and moral.

As you said, everyone is entitled to his opinion, but it doen't entitle them to impose this opinion to others.

If i do something that's legal and moral in my country and in most of civilised world, i really don't see a reason to be ashamed and to change my behaviour just because some group of people might find it offensive.

I don't have anything against muslims, i have some friends amongst them, but it doesn't mean i have to cover my posters and change my wallpaper everytime they come to visit or make a sign over my door that only 18+ is allowed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] XDA mark:
I did not know the UK is on such a level. Just made my view of the UK a little better ^_^

In the Netherlands they usually don't show topless pictures, but they are also not very strict. In Romania you have a similar newspaper like yours in the UK, where you get the 'Weather' forecast by topless chicks. Much more fun than a boring text saying 'it is going to be a sunny day', right?

I understand though that some people are against it, so the 18+ title is good. But really, these pictures are NOT 18+. They look good though, to bad they are a little blurry. If you could post better quality please!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
EDIT: I deleted my whole post because it was off-topic and xZdenis' answer to it was deleted by a mod. It would be unfair to leave last post as it was considering xZdenis is not allowed to respond to it... ;)

Hi, this is my first thread on this forum.

I am awaiting delivery of a new TG01.

I was wondering how do you guys solved the problem of the lack of space for the stylus on TG01. I am thinking about a Mugen 2600 battery with cover which can hold the stylus, but I would prefer the thin device :o

many thanks
[TG01 Accessories] useyourfist:
i dont use it;)

sorry if thats unhelpful lol i did used to just put the stylus in my pocket but since i installed a new keyboard i dont use it
[TG01 Accessories] souljaboy:
ull need the extra battery either way ... :D
[TG01 Accessories] prevarant:
I do not use it too:)
[TG01 Accessories] Philip:
I use my stylus all the time - I never touch the screen with my fingers.

I bought a silicone case for my TG01, and I keep a slim stylus (from my Touch HD) between the back of the TG01 and the case - there is a cut-out for the speaker that I use to insert and remove it.

Not a perfect solution, but it works.
[TG01 Accessories] Pere:
That's one of the annoying things of our by the other side lovely device...(the other two are: stupid SD card access, and charge+usb+earphones in the same plug)

On my former device I only used stylus (with phatware CalliGrapher) but now I also use keyboard (Swype) sometimes. What I do it's having a lot of stylus anywhere: On my pocket, my car, my desk, ....
[TG01 Accessories] elbowz:
I use the stylus from a Samsung Genio and keep it attached to my keys... its a similar concept to Toshiba's own stylus but has a cap to protect the stylus nib. Another advantage is that the cap is retained on the keyring and the stylus part can be seperated for use, unlike the Tosh supplied stylus...

Only costs three quid too...
[TG01 Accessories] pitagorasz:
The Mugen 2600 mAh with his back cover solved the problem to me.

Yes it's doubled the tickness of the phone( it's a brick but I like it :D ), but in this cause I can hold it in my hands more stable and no need to charge the battery on every night, so it's worthed( solved 3 problems with Mugen 2600) :) .
