What I would like to see also ... a seamless invite of game session.

I can think of a scenario like this:

- Install GAME A in the XBox game hub

- My friend also install GAME A in his WP7 phone

- I send an invitation to play this game together which send him a notification

- He sees the notification, click YES or NO

- If YES the game will immediately play and CONNECT each other seamlessly via XBOx Live

No need to connect manually, pairing or what not. Just a simple click confirming the invite notification and voila! Game launched and enjoy the experience of multiplayer gaming.

Even better like this:

- We can connect to the XBOx live to find opponent. Same thing like Blizzard Battle.net or Nintendo Wi-Fi connection for multiplayer game.

That would be awesome!

Hey guys, I've looked around but I couldn't find anything.

My search-ability isn't that good:o

Does anybody know a .pdf reader which can be used fullscreen.

Adobe sucks because it isn't real fullscreen, I don't want scrollbars and so on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lemonspeakers:
Yeah, Im looking for one too can't find one that doesnt eat lots of memory and is totally full screen and can flick to scroll smoothly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ozkaya:
check the tips thread, there is a registry entry (it was something like showscrollbarinfullscreen) that you need to set to zero. Then you will have what you want. In my opinion adobe reader le is still the best, as you can pinch to zoom and it is fast too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] EchoFox:
i'm using FoxitReader because it has full screen...

though i don't like having to do 4 clicks to get it there.

i'll try the registry trick listed above.

EDIT: FoxitReader also does Reflow :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] alex fung:
No, I don't find it on the tip list. and the key doesn't work.

I added it to

incredible, no one knows the answer...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Chef_Tony:
i think it depends on the rom you use. with the cooked roms there are a few new bluetooth drivers integrated, that gave the blueangel the feature of a2dc for instance. that was not integrated in wm2003. having said that, i guess the protocols supported by bluetooth are purely software/driver related, while the hardware only limits the connection speed and distance. it's a shame that site does not show, what protocol is used for caller id and unfortunately i have never owned any bluetooth accessory that would provide the same function.

i would be 65% sure that it works though, if i were you, i would go look for a good local retailer or web shop with a money back guarantee. dealextreme has a good money back guarantee, but i guess, you'd have to pay for the shipping back to them, which, in your case, would be half way around the planet and probably not that cheap. or maybe, one of the others knows about the protocol, and then we can find out with certainty, if it will work.

[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I hope this is normal for the Nexus One. I was just shaking it and heard some clicking noise. Is it the autofocus mechanism? Also I have haptic feedback turned on and the top part of the phone rattles a little whenever I type.
[Nexus One General] Fuse8499:
I don't hear any clicking. But I'm using the extended battery + cover. So the issue may be with the stock battery cover?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
You're hearing the autofocus on the camera...this has been discussed before.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Ya, I just wanted to make sure because from what I have read, the noise is only produced when you tap the top part of the phone but for me the noise can be heard even when I'm typing when haptic feedback is turned on.

[G1 Apps and Games] bert269:
I really like this app to backup and restore phone settings, call-log and MMS/SMS messages. As well as homepage layout.

It only has a few limitations:

1) you can only schedule ONE backup.

2) your backup filename cannot contain the special character '-' : According the app-dev: "These characters are not allowed due to file system"

Weird huh? - although I can create any other file OR directory containing the '-' in the file system.

3) You cannot have incremental backups that only backup the changed entities - it will be too 'confusing' for the users to use - also the answer from the dev.

4) During the homepage restore the widgets does not get restored correctly - you only get an indication that there was a widget, but the load does not happen.

the htc touch pro 2 has got an official upgrade for htc sense 2.5 shipped in our hd2 device

wtf is that , we have paid for sense 2.5 that is in hd2 and they got it as a free upgrade very un satisfied ,but this may be a good news if it means that we will get wp7 series upgrade as htc supports its devices in a better way now
[HD2 General] vanzelvoul:
You have to be a very bad person my friend!!

Why does it bother you that someone with a TP2 is happy with this update.

I dont f... understand You?

And this is actualy good news for all HTC owners. But it seems that you dont have the mind to think that!!!!

OMG!!!
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
why good news i sold tp2 to get hd2 with sense 2.5. any way iam not evil person but i was just shocked of this news ,any way it might be good news if it means that we will get wp7 series
[HD2 General] vanzelvoul:
My friend you sold your TP2 because the HD2 has the double amount of Ram and double the processor speed. Because it is an revolutionary phone.

It is good news because it indicates that HTC starts to support more and more their devices, and someday maybe you will get an update that will make very very happy. If that happens i don't think that will you complain then.

I write those things with all the respect of course! I didn't want to insult you!
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
don't matter iam not angry with you , but you are right i should be happy as what you said htc is supporting their devices in a good way now and we could get the wp7 series after all
[HD2 General] kilrah:
You should tell HTC to stop doing that, so that they never make any updates to the HD2...
[HD2 General] freyberry:

That means there will finally be full landscape for Sense! :D

Can you please post a link to that update?

The focus of this thread is to sort out the Apps2SD issue in cyanogenmod-darch 2.1 ROM (like the title says). Please do not post here unless it relates to this issue.

That being said, here is where I was at in the original darchstar 2.1 thread:

Gbhil then replied...

So, I rebooted and tried to run "a2sd" from the android terminal but it spits out a long string of errors:

+++ Apps-to-SD successfully enabled

So, there is no "app" or "app-private" in the "system/sd". Is a2sd supposed to generate those directories or are they supposed to be there before hand?

Anyway, the result is that I lose all of my shortcuts to the apps and market shows them as not installed even though they are.

BTW, I am not a dev or even that great at code or linux but I can usually pick stuff up fairly quickly. Just want to help fix this!

EDIT: The only thing I have found to work is to flash this kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5712377&postcount=1406

However, some people get stuck in a boot loop after flashing this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Running into the same issues as Watzone so I can confirm that he is doing it correctly. =P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Here are all of the related commands that have been suggested whenever the question of apps2sd has come up in the darchstar 2.1 thread.

adb remount
adb shell
mkdir /system/sd

adb remount
adb shell
busybox --install /system/xbin
a2sd

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
chown system.system /data/app
chmod 0771 /data/app

For the next command, boot into recovery and do the following:

adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push e2fsck /system/bin
adb shell
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 e2fsck

Now, boot normally and go back to your CMD prompt...

adb remount
adb shell
a2sd

EDIT: In other threads I have seen the command...

apps2sd on

...used to enable apps2sd.

Doing all of these WILL allow the final "a2sd" command to enable (testing with the "pwd" command) but it all goes KAPUT after a reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
why it's not being enabled at boot time is because the init.rc isn't calling /system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd . I'll be sure that we fix that in my next release
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
And there you go.

It works here, but now I know why. I'm still using an old version of the boot image that looks for /system/bin/a2sd to load it, and an older version of the ROM. No sense in me to keep flashing fixes until I'm done tweaking the kernel. When darch says the kernel is good, then I'll catch up lol.

We might as well use this thread to learn to play with the boot image though, that is if you guys want to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Awesome can't wait for the next release then! Lotsa apps out there calling out to me! Thanks guys =)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
You bet. It's about time I got my hands dirty.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
I'm game let me know if you need me to test anything!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Cool deal. You need Linux to extract and compress the boot.img, and you need to be current with Perl and running jre5 or higher.

Ubuntu 9.04+ is set up out of the box, but any version can be made to work.

Then grab these files from Lox -

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=234040&d=1254622769

and extract them into your sdk/tools dir. (or any dir in your path)

get all that, then pick a boot.img from a rom and put it in a work folder.

Holler when you get that far, or if you have any q's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
I wanna learn myself. This should apply to mac os as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I have Mint on another machine. Gimme a bit to get caught up...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Darwin might work. Never tried :)

np. I'm @work so going slow is better anyway lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
ok i just ran the files in terminal. so i guess it might work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
I'm back :)

Inisde the work folder you dropped the boot.img into, run this from a term:

extract-kernel.pl boot.img

extract-ramdisk.pl boot.img

it will give you several files and a new directory. That dir is the unpacked ramdisk. The init.rc file is the one we're looking for. Open it with a Unicode editor and read it. It has it's own syntax, but it's almost like bash and not too hard to figure out. Hopefully you loaded a bootimg that has a2sd in it. Look near the bottom of the file for the a2sd start up line. It will have a2sd, apps2sd, a2sd004 or something like that. Once you find it so you can see the name used, search the rest of the file for that name.

Those lines will show you how a service gets declared and called at boot time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I'm up and running now. I downloaded python 2.6.4. Do I need to install it or just extract it somewhere? Please forgive my linux noobness.

The other 2 zip files are extracted and in my tools folder. I'm getting the boot.img now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
idk if this will work as i too am a newb to android and the way they deal with the boot process is somewhat a bit different from what i'm used to, but heres a new boot.img if you guys want to flash it to see if apps2sd works. note, this is not a zip, remove that suffix.

to flash it to your phone just move the boot image to your sdcard then reboot into recovery. from there go into adb and mount your sdcard, then flash the new boot image.

adb shell
mount /sdcard
flash_image boot /sdcard/newBoot2.img
reboot

tell me if it fixes your apps2sd problem or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
try it without doing anything to Python first....especially since I meant perl :D

Just try my last post and see if it works for ya. I'll edit my first post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Nope, I got "command not found" both times.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Thanks darchstar, I'll try that in a bit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
you gotta make it executable

inside the directory with the perl scripts do this

chmod a+x ./
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I ran a terminal from my work folder and did the chmod but when I tried the "extract" commands it still gave me "command not found".

I just installed Mint a week ago but haven't done much to configure it. Should this stuff work right out of the box?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Well first thing grab that image darch made and try flashing like he says so he knows if it will work or not.

When you're done - those zip files each had 2 files inside. Take a copy of all 4 of them and pop it in the folder you put the boot image in and try again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Gotcha.

Flashing darch's*stuff now. BRB...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
@darchstar,

I flashed the img, enabled a2sd (which enabled without a hitch), ran the pwd test and apps2sd was working. I rebooted and ran the pwd test again... no apps2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
All I could find was asroot2, extract-kernel.pl and extract-ramdisk.pl. What is the 4th one supposed to be??

EDIT: I'm a moron, I unzipped the my asroot zip. Hold on...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Still no luck.

In my work folder are: extract-kernel.pl, extract-ramdisk.pl, mkbootimg, mkbootfs, and the boot.img.

I opened the folder "as root" and started a command prompt from there and then entered

chmod a+x ./
extract-kernel.pl boot.img

It returned with...

extract-kernel.pl: command not found
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
./extract-kernel.pl
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
try

./extract-kernel.pl boot.img

you have to specify the path, and ./ is current directory

but delete that copy of the boot.img and drag a new one over. You've made it executable when you chmod'd the directory.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Sorry, had to walk the dogs.

OK, that worked. I'll watch my syntax closer now.

So, I've got the "boot.img-kernel" folder now. What's next?

EDIT:NM, I went back to your previous post. I'm doing the other steps now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I used the boot.img from your Gumbo-15c-BARE ROM. I looked through the init.rc and found:

"start a2sd on property:cm.filesystem.ready=1"

and also

"oneshot service a2sd /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/sh /system/bin/a2sd

disabled"

EDIT: Not really knowing what I'm looking at exactly and I've probably quoted it out of context.

EDIT: I'm going to pick this back up tomorrow. Maybe compare yours to darchstar's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
1. Be careful working with two different boot images at the same time. All the files get named the same thing, so use a different working folder for each.

2. Darch's init.rc is going to confuse the hell out of you at first. Just realize he is using Cyanogen's scripts (I think) so all sorts of wild **** may be going on, but the basics are identical.

3. Youre doing fine. You found exactly what you're looking for, but be sure to search the whole file. I'm not where i can take a look, but I think you may have missed another instance of a2sd in the init.rc. Or i could be mistaken, I'm not sure how it's done there without looking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Hey gb about that command you said to add to gumbo.sh am I supposed to enter that on the same line as the text that is already in the file or should I hit enter and then put it on a new line? Also should I type anything else besides su -C a2sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
on a new line

only type that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
The new kernel that darchstar posted has fixed the apps2sd not surviving reboot. I just flashed it, rebooted, and even rebooted again.:p So far, so good!

[General Topics] SMS92:
Hi all,

It's a question that's probably been asked before, but the search yields too any results to find the answer!

What I need to know is whether unlocking the HD2 will officially void its warranty? I can get a new boxed HD2 for £370 delivered from my provider, or even cheaper on fleabay if I look for locked handsets.

Is the process easily reversable? I really can't afford to have HTC say no to repair should anything happen to the device!

Also, if I buy used on ebay, is the warranty based on the serial/IMEI of the handset, i.e. I will definitely have (just under) 24 months of dedicated HTC repair?

Thanks fellow HTC lovers! :)
[General Topics] Cabbage09:
I'd like to know this myself :)

I too have the option of buying directly from my network which adds a bit more comfort than buying from ebay! But if I'm saying goodbye to the warranty then it's a big risk......
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
I think it voids the warranty. Reversal is usually as easy as unlocking it.
[General Topics] denco7:
Sim unlocking your phone does not void the warranty, but cid unlock does.

The difference in buying a unlocked phone or a carrier locked phone is the Sim.

If you buy a phone on ebay, the HTC warranty will only be for the remainder of the 1 year warranty that starts when the serial # is registered to a network upon activation of the phone, unless the seller is a commercial operation providing their own warranty.
[General Topics] galaxys:
^Correct...CID unlocking will void the warranty!
