[myTouch 3G, Magic General] devbro:
Hi everyone

I have been going frustated thanks to annoyance of syncing outlook with mytouch phone.

I tried using "htc sync" to no success as it does not recognize my phone. I even tried companionlink to little success and a lot of hassle.

So here is my question:

Is it possible to install a rom from Magic on MT3G? if so can we use "htc sync" after that?

I know that some people installed hero rom on their magic. will it work on mytouc too? can we use htc sync in this case or no?

thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shadow_wing:
U should search!!!

But to be nice..u can flash a magic rom but u gotta have the magics radio 1st. Search ye shall find

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] devbro:
Sorry for asking this stupid question but,

what is a radio? is it some kind of app or some component of android? is it different than rooting?
[Nexus One General] klaberte:
Is there any way to have my rooted N1 to ignore play/pause commands sent from my bluetooth headset? I would prefer that only commands pressed on the phone or touchscreen be acknowledged.

Alternatively, it seems like all bluetooth play/pause commands are intercepted by the stock music player. Is there any way to prevent that, e.g. have bluetooth play/pause only impact the application in focus?

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] klaberte:
no help? Please?

AutoStarts

Well, I found help on the Google forum. You need a program called AutoStarts, which requires root. Disable the software launch on "Media button pressed" and all fixed!

So I know that my phone's password is 8944. Those happen to be the last digits of a phone number that belongs to someone very special to me.

I was installing Swype, and my phone asked to soft reset. Of course, I said yes. It turned off, and turned back on...

and is now rejecting my password. I would hate to hard reset, but what else can I do?

(Any general passwords, default thingies, or something that could have caused for this to happen?)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ImperfectTreo:
Hi, everyone. I have been searchng for a whole week for tomtom navigator software that would be able to read my map, but i got no luck. Two weeks ago i bought tom tom naviator software form ebay, the package was brand new and it came with a map and software dvd. the software that came with the dvd was version 6.032. it has a problem loading up due to confilcting resolution. Ive tried navigator 7.45, 7.9 and they seem to work with the phone but it was unable to read the map. Is there a verison inbetween 7.45 and 6.032 that that can work on rhodium and still able to read my map? thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Hate to say it but a little research goes a LONG way. Version 7 software wont work with version 6 maps. You'd need version 7 or 8 maps. Its discussed at length in any number of tomtom related threads on here. If it's pssoble get a refund as you ordered the wrong stuff.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
I've been getting a lot of messages asking, 'How do you create ROM's?' Well, I got so many I decided to make this. This process is called cooking a ROM.

The first thing you have to do is get a ROM that's already been created and signed that you'd like to change around. Make sure it's a signed update.zip. Then, you unzip the rom, and you should see directories, like data/ and system/. If you want to add/remove applications in the ROM, you would goto data/app/. In there you will find the apk's of files that will be pre-installed on the ROM. You can add or remove the apk's there. Another place for the apk's is in /system/app. You really shouldn't put new apk's in here, but you can remove the system apk's. So, if you wanted to remove Sprint TV, delete Sprint_tv.apk. Also, the apk's can be treated as zip's; you can unzip them and look inside, and if you wanted to, change around the icon's and stuff like that. After you are done changing around the ROM, you might want to edit the build.prop (This part is optional!) You would find it in system/build.prop. Look for a line that says 'ro.build.description='. You can edit that with the name of your ROM. When your all done, you would zip it all back up, and sign the update.zip. On windows, this is pretty easy. Download flipz pre-kitchen, and use a setting in tools called something like sign apk/update.zip. Navigate to where you put your rom, and sign it. Then, your rom should be ready to flash.

This is also a good post to read:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551711

Notes:

*DO NOT* TRY TO FLASH A GSM ROM TO A CDMA HERO!

If you edited a apk, make sure to sign it before zipping it and signing the update.zip.

If you have any problems, I created a IRC channel for this, so I can give live support:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
Alright, I've got my ROM made and everything -- signed it as well. I put it on my SD Card, and its flashes successfully -- but now I'm stuck at the HTC Screen?

I took the battery out; went back into recovery and Wiped and formatted my SD Card, and flashed again (successful), but still stuck on HTC screen?

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I think this is crazy awesome to give a small how to on 'cooking' ROMS....I've always been interested! However what are DDoS'es....if it's all good to ask?

I don't have linux on my windows laptop...but do I need to get a dual boot/OS on my laptop to get this running. Last I knew, Linux and Windows were not friends...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
What ROM did you start with...? Did you do all kinds of crazy stuff to it? I found a ROM, downloaded it and opened it....saw a bunch of stuff in there that the OP described. Not quite sure what is game to pull and what is cool to add...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
Alright -- this is what I did.

1. I made a new folder called Penguin

2. Took Gumbo1.5c and unzipped it

3. Moved all the stuff from Gumbo to Penguin

4. Began removing apps I didn't want in /system/app

5. Added some apps in /data/app

6. Added a white taskbar to its respective dir

7. Added Espresso -- again to its respective dir

8. Added the 2.1 Icons

9. SIGNED the new zipped folder (Penguin) successfully

10. Copied to SD Card

11. Flashed successfully

12. When I reboot, I stuck at the HTC Screen (I waited about 2 and half minutes)

Steps I've taken to solve:

1. Removed battery

2. Wiped

3. Formatted card

4. Flashed again

5. Stuck again at HTC (again 2 minutes or so, until removing battery again)

5. Stuck again

DDoS is a denial of service attack. They are attacking my server and also my home network. I've got a lot of it cleared out, but still a lot of IP's doing it. Also, try Wubi for that Linux and windows issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Should you have waited longer than 2 and a half mins? I flashed Godzson Dialer and rebooted and it took 5 or 6 mins to boot, and when it did...I was happy.

Not sure if you took too much out or added something you shouldn't have, or just perhaps didn't wait long enough for it to boot.

...OH Wait, you mean that HTC symbol at the very begining..........gotcha now! I at least was on the nexus bootscreen when I waited.

Hope you get an awnser soon, I am looking forward to playing around and perhaps cooking up something good of my own :D:):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
Exactly what I was saying, 2 minutes isn't enough for the first boot. It takes 5 or maybe even 10!

Question....where would the respective 'dir' be for throwing 2.1 icons into a ROM while cooking...? data/apps?

I'm honestly trying to google all my questions as well as search this forums threads....but sometimes I don't get the answer I need :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
The directory that the 2.1 icons should go in is /system/app/

Lets say I want to change the Browser.apk icon. I would pull it, open it as a zip file, look for ic_laucher.png (or something of this sort) -- and replace this file with the newly created icon (has to be the SAME name as the original file), you'll copy this new "icon" into the original dir, overwriting the changes -- and that's it.

What files exactly are you saying I should edit? I'm up for any ideas -- I'm definitely going to get this to work, I want to contribute damn it!!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I just downloaded a ROM and took some apks that were on the "SAFE" list to remove from the link in the above post. Replaced some apk files with the 2.1 icons....using the same name as the ones I replaces (so I'm not 'adding' anything new)

Renaming my ROM and then zipping it up to flash. (doing it now, and if that works....then I will play with it a little more and see how far I can get until it does not boot)

HOPEFULLY this boot with what I've just done....lol. I should, I've done nothing really...:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bertman285@hotmail.com:
Alright say you download gumbo1c. Then right click rename it whatever like mygumbo-signed.zip. Then open the archive with7zip. Then just go threw and delet what you don't want from the folders. close 7zip after you have made all your mods. resign and it should flash. I just found it easier to edit the zip then to extract it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bertman285@hotmail.com:
Good luck. Hope it works out for you. I'm putting the last few little touch ups to my rom an custom icons. Will be uploading shortly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Question about 'rezipping' an extracted ROM.zip

Do you just add to archive that folder....and name it what you wish?

Or do you put the newly tweeked ROM folder in a "systems" folder then add to archive naming what you wish?

The reason I ask the latter is in the "creating custom lockscreens" on another forum...he has us put the apk in a "apps" folder inside a "sytems" folder....then flash the 'apps' folder to get your .zip

Here is the link to that suggestion.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
Oh, I gotcha. Alright I'll try that as well. Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully tonight I'll finally be able to get this to work. By the way, what ROM are you basing yours off of?

Do the latter. So lets say you have a folder called Test and inside test you had system, Meta-INF, and the boot image -- you would then highlight all three items and then right click and choose Make Archive and then give it name and make sure the compression is set to .zip and not like .7z or anything like that. After this, then you can take this .zip file to your Sign Tools folder and sign the file (I do it via command line, but you can use autosign if you want) -- at which point you should be ready to put this file on your SD Card and flash. Hope that helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bertman285@hotmail.com:
I'm using Ttg rom. Its basically his Rom with all the stock apps. I'm not putting the stock Twitter app. If all goes well it should be done in next hour or two.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
The reason I have you do it that way is to maintain the folder structure :).

I have not tried editing and rezipping a ROM yet, so I can not speak on how to do that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
So I flashed what I supposedly tweeted to my liking and nodda. I signed successfully and flashed successfully.....it even booted up and ran. Just nothing seemed to change.

I renamed it and all....and even that didn't change. When I went into about phone and checked what name it was. It still said Gumbo 1.5

To change the name I went into build.prop and opened it with notepad and changed the name then saved it. Reopening it, the name is still changed but on the phone booted it has not. Any suggestions on why nothing changed...?

Trying it again with some more tweeks...hopefully we can figure this out, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bertman285@hotmail.com:
I'm compressing mine now then ill be flashing. Nothing like thinking your done an then forget to add custom icons.:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Good luck man....I'm about to reflash my newest signed ROM. Hopefully somethings changed...lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bertman285@hotmail.com:
Hope it does. I got to wait on slow a** computer;( After its done I'm going to put up a very detailed how to,just to help out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I think I know where my problem lays...

I unzip the ROM fine....and it creates its own little folder.

Then I tweek it to my liking and rename it via build.promp

It's when I compress it and resign it...is where I MUST be going wrong....

Cause when I flash it, nothing...and I mean nothing changes.

So once I have the tweeked ROM folder on my desktop where do I go from there....add to archive that folder and make it a zip...?

Or do I put that folder in a 'folder' and add to archive....I've done it both ways and when I don't put the ROM folder in a 'folder'....it tells me archive not found

So yeah, a step by step on how to compress and then resign would be greeeat!

*****OH yea, "IS" it possible to rename your newly tweeked ROM....and see it's new name in "settings/about phone"...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
This is described in the first post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yeap....read that and have been doing that for the last couple tries. I am confident that my issues are with recompressing the file (exactly how to from a mere ROM folder on my desktop) to resigning it (which I'm using pre-kitchen)

I "think" I'm resigning the proper way....I sign all my lockscreens without issue, just the recompressed ROMS have problems.

So there....I've narrowed it down even further, lol. Recompressing is my major damage :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
While I haven't tried this myself with a ROM, I believe the concept should be the same. You must maitain the file structure when ziping a file back. So far the locscreens for example, the apk came from system/app/ which is why i have you create those folders and then zip it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
Sorry, got cutoff at work and had to post what I had typed so far. Anyways, if I am correct, you need to maintain the file tree structure. So say for example when you unzip it creates a folder called fresh1.1 and has all of the files in the folder. Instead of ziping the Fresh1.1 folder, you would select all of the subfolders and zip them into one folder called My_Rom or whatever.

I could be wrong, but I believe that may be how it works. Like I said, I know that is how I did it for lockscreens, I kept the file structure the same :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Correct...that makes total sense and works flawlessly when I do it. However when opening a zip (or extracting the files rather) it creates a folder and that is where I do my tweeking. That folder is just 'there' on the desktop and not in/or came from any other folder. However, when I try to compress that folder BACK, it says 'no archive found' :(

When I place that folder "IN" a folder (like I do with the lockscreens) it "adds to archive/compresses the ROM just fine. Only it does nothing when I flash it.

ALSO....after this successful way of recompressing it, I resign it.......I go ahead and extract again to see what happens.

....and instead of that folder containing system/data/other stuff....that folder contains a "folder" named my ROM and inside THAT....is all the good stuff, lol.

When all the other ROMS I extract have the good stuff instantly after you open the extracted folder.

I so hope i'm not confusing anyone...lol, I know I am myself. I'm at this point just simply waiting for an in depth detailed way of how to go about this the proper way....or even a whole different way.

Cause it's working for some people out there :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
i did everything like the first post said removed what files i did not need etc etc

zipped up my new custom with to sign it

and get this

http://localhostr.com/files/5e37df/error.jpg
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
So let me see if I understand you correctly. You unzip it creates a folder called "Rom". All of your files are in there, and you edit them accordingly.

When you go to recompress it, how are you doing it? I would think you would want to be inside of that folder, select all the individual files (ctrl + a = select all) then right click on one and choose add to archive. This should prompt you to name your archive, which should work, and then sign it.

Again, I've not tried this, so I apologize if it doesn't work, just thinking of what it could be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
That makes sense....I've been compressing the 'folder' that contains everything. I will now try to 'select all' that is inside the folder go to z7 and add to archive that and name it my new rom....

I will post back shortly!!! Thanks :):D:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Well, it didn't seem to work....but now at least when I unzip/extract the newly signed/renamed ROM it's not inside two folders before I get to the goods.

I extract it and it creates a folder and when I open that folder the goods are there :D One step closer I'm guessing :)

Still nothing changes.....and I'm basing my new ROM off Gumbo 1.5 and coming from Fresh.

Should I wipe before I flash....or should it be changing regarless of wiping or not. I haven't been btw....

...also what is

" build.prop~ "

it's right below build.prop....only it's not rewritable?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoz350:
Fresh's kitchen can't sign an entire ROM. It can only sign .apk's. Search for "Winsign". It'll give you an Auto-sign tool that works flawlessly.

Okay, I was having this same trouble. I found that if I zip the folder it adds the entire folder to the archive and creates a META-INF folder. What you have to do is zip the contents of the folder (3 folders and boot.img) so that if you open the .zip it only displays the 3 folders and boot.img
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mkeyslehman:
Do you have Java installed? Windows doesn't understand Java scripts by default.

As for the ZIP issue, I wouldn't ever mess with extracting to a folder. 7-Zip was recommended in one of these threads, but personally I don't like it. There's a bug that goes waaaaay where if you have 2 files open and they have the same name, you can't transfer copy between the two. I use WinRAR myself.

Anytime you're going to work with an APK or edit a file, open your ROM ZIP with WinRAR. Changing a build name or replacing PNG images will result in WinRAR asking if you want to update the archive, to which you say Yes. This way you don't have to worry about extracting, recompacting, system folders moving or being in the wrong place, etc. Once you've made all of your changes, save and close your ZIP and then sign it. That way the update script is left alone and all files / folders should be exactly where they need to be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Very awesome...you answered two questions I had......

Now on the renaming it through build.prop can I erase the

build.prop~

file and just keep the one that I can actually rewrite? The one with the sqiggley at the end of the file is not writable or readable...? Does it serve me any good...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
