Touch Lock Pro has it and its free.

And it works excellent, try it
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] uematsufreak:
I have a Touch Pro2 on Verizon that has recently started to put itself in headphone mode at random. Trying to push the pins down via stylus or plugging and unplugging the headphones hasn't worked at all. I did soft resets and left the battery out for a while.

It was at this point that I realized the phone had also ceased to vibrate.

I tried putting the phone on vibrate, but it acted as though it was on silent. I then finally flashed the ROM, which confirmed both issues to be due to hardware (which was already pretty obvious ...)

It's worth noting that sometimes when I select a Manila tab, I can hear the motor TRY to vibrate, making a single slight clicking noise. Normally, I wouldn't make too big a deal out of the vibrating issue, but that coupled with only hearing half of my notifications due to the headphone problem is maddening.

I hastily opened the phone to see if it was anything I could fix (which wasn't smart, but I guess I figured the dings on the phone coupled with the fact that I was using the latest MightyROM release was enough to forget the warranty.) Obviously, I got nowhere.

I'm out of ideas at this point, and am curious to hear what everyone here has to say. I'm nowhere near upgrade time, and don't feel like paying full retail for another phone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
flash the stock SPL, flash the stock ROM, tell verizon to fix it. Or get insurance and pay for a replacement phone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] uematsufreak:
Interesting note: Quickly inserting and removing headphones runs "Windows Media", and doing so twice redials the last number. Figured this post would at least be entertaining if nothing else.

I'm still trying to figure this out (since that's the kind of guy I am) but I'll probably end up getting a new phone altogether. Probably won't get another Touch Pro2, but it'll be hard to go back to any other QWERTY keypad after this one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] glennlh:
I was posting about this in another thread but as it was off topic i'll put it here in a new thread. The problem im having is when making an update-script for a ROM, I try using the command "format BOOT:" to format the boot so that all of the old boot.img is removed to make way for the new boot.im, but the device then wont boot. The update-script work correctly without this command but like I said some parts of the old boot.img are left over that I need to get rid of. Below ive posted the update-script im trying to use:

show_progress 0.1 0
format SYSTEM:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app
format BOOT:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:
show_progress 0.1 10

Thanks for any help, Glennlh.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i have the suspicion that the boot.img you are trying to write is faulty. does it boot when booted via fastboot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
or you have the wrong command! Bear in mind that people who make roms generally use a kitchen and download from repositories.Grab someone else's update-script and edit to your liking it is waaaay easier
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I can't see anything wrong with your update script mate.

I'm thinking your boot.img is dodgy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It probably doesn't matter, but I have a habit of making the write boot command, and subsequent show progress the last part of the script.

I can't see any real problem with your script though :\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
What actually happens when you turn the phone on?

Which specific bits of your old boot.img are left over?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] glennlh:
When I boot the device the hero logo appears then around 10 seconds later it reboots and the hero logo appears for another 2 seconds until the recovery menu starts. I dont really know which bits of the boot.img are left over I just assumed there will be if the boot isn't formatted. Using another roms script ive managed to get it to work, here it is below:

show_progress 0.1 0
format BOOT:
format SYSTEM:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0755 SYSTEM:bin
set_perm 0 3003 06755 SYSTEM:bin/ip
set_perm 0 3003 02755 SYSTEM:bin/netcfg
set_perm 0 3004 02755 SYSTEM:bin/ping
set_perm 0 2000 06755 SYSTEM:bin/reboot
set_perm_recursive 1002 1002 0755 0440 SYSTEM:etc/bluez
set_perm 0 0 0755 SYSTEM:etc/bluez
set_perm 1002 1002 0440 SYSTEM:etc/dbus.conf
set_perm 1014 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
set_perm 0 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/init.goldfish.sh
show_progress 0.1 10
show_progress 0.2 0
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:
format DATA:
show_progress 0.2 10

I've now got to work out which piece of code in there is making it work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
my guess:

set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0755 SYSTEM:bin

that is why i asked you what you were trying to achieve. if you want to copy a complete rom you have to set some permissions, for example /system/bin/sh needs to be executable. otherwise: no shell -> no execution of whatever command...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] glennlh:
Oh I understand now thank you, i didn't really know how to set up or what permissions were needed.

Thanks Everyone for the help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Dammit. Forgot about your permissions.

Try something like that:

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:

set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0755 SYSTEM:bin

set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0755 SYSTEM:xbin

set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:bin/su

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] christian-xda:
Hi there,

I have recently brought an xda serra, I brought the phone unlocked online because I wanted it on pay&go because it made more sense economicaly and thinking I could only use the pay&go internet on emergencys otherwise use it through wifi, cutting costs.

However I have put in an o2 pay&go sim which did not automaticaly configure the GPRS and wap conection codes. So the internet is not working on the phone.

I contacted Tech Support at o2 ; one guy was very helpful and we tried a few settings which I manualy put into the connections on the phone but they did not work.

Apparently o2 do not support the phone on pay &go only on contract.

I do not want a contract sim as it is costly and I cannot afford.

The chap from o2 tech support said it should be possible and we tried codes for other phones such as the nokia 58 100 pay&go, but they did not work.

He said google it to see what I get but no luck with that so I thought I would try this forum!!!

I am very grateful for any help or ideas!!!!

If u can help I am a true dummie, so a step by step detailed explanation is required. THanks!!!!!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 1gr8papa:
It can be done...Good luck!

What rom did you flash onto it the 1st time? What steps did you take to unroot it? Did you reflash the original rom?

For a step by step use my guide. look for this: myTouch 3G Step-By-Step Unroot on the boards. As you can tell it is easy to deep fry your phone. The links wouldn't load on my original post so make sure you type the standard hxxp://www then paste the accompanying mediafire line. hope this helps...good luck!

Quite a few people of being plain stupid and posting non-dev related question/topics in the dev forum... it's kinda becoming a a mess...

no I don't blame the admin or mods... i blame the ppl doing this stupid thing... HELLO!!! can't u guys see "Development forum" and understand that it's specific to dev stuff???

BTW, if you guys need help with getting ride of crap like this, I'm ready to help!!!
[Nexus One General] kable:
Posts like this are just as annoying.. :(
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
nothing really you can do to help.

They should change that stickied thread to state, "please post any question threads in the general section." or something like that. What it says now really doesn't mean anything to me.

This is coming someone who was once guilty of this act. As a noob to that forum I thought, "hey a development section, i got a question about development, guess it goes here. "

Its quite easy to see all of them are making this mistake.
[Nexus One General] aldo37:
They really need to just change it so that completely new threads need to be approved (not posts).
[Nexus One General] ralexand:
I'm sure the mods would love that idea /s

IMO people shouldn't take offense to a topic being posted in the wrong section. If I have a request for an app section I don't know if that goes in development, themes & apps, or general.

I think the best solution is to create more categories. "Questions/problems" "mods/hacks" "accessories" and maybe one specific to devs where they get some type of posting approval on their profile allowing them to post in a development section.

The categories are far too general to know exactly where every post should go, in my opinion.

[Nexus One General] Ruben1123:
The mods take care of this, trust me. They write in every locked thread and moved thread why it was moved, etc. This is just annoying. To me, this looks more like you are asking to be a mod than anything. But I see your view.

Yeah, they do... but it's really annoying when someone posts a "how to flash" question in the dev forum... and no, I'm not asking for mod powers [in fact I don't want mod powers]... quite frankly I visit this site just once or twice a day... to busy with demos at work... I just want to know all the ways we can avoid this... anything to help the "super-mods" on this forum... yeah stickies are there... but some ppl just act dumb and don't even bother to read the stickies...

Much appreciated... a little spirit to calm my spirit... :-)

Yeah, I cud do that... but I want to know if there's anything else I can do... the mods have quite enuf without having to worry about idiots posting in the wrong forum.
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
Well. Seeing that you're very new to the forum "28th January 2010" you might as well just get used to it. It's never going to change. Welcome to the internet.
[Nexus One General] craigacgomez:
I may be new to this forum... (cuz I got my N1 just around that time... my first Android phone... and I never had any other phones for which this forum has threads.... but XDADev is a trusted, well known name...) I moderated MotorolaFans.com a couple of years ago, before I got too involved with office work, and I did have to deal with this crap there as well.

I guess ppl got the wrong impression from this thread (I think it's my fault, didn't word it correctly). I'm just looking for ways to make the mods' lives a little less frustrating... and to get crap outta the wrong forums ;-).
[Nexus One General] ajwho:
So basically, this thread was created as a way for you to not so subtly cry out that you want to be a mod. All this after only being on this forum for a few weeks. Gotcha.
[Nexus One General] craigacgomez:
Err... hello.... if u read my earlier posts... I said I DON'T want to be a mod... quite frankly, I don't have the time... and I'd land up doing a crappy job... I'm just saying, from personal experience, that a mods job isn't easy... and we, the users, need to contribute to keeping this forum clean...

Let me put this down properly...

1. I don't want to be a mod

2. I'm not doubting or complaining about the mods and the great work they do

3. There are only a few mods and thousands of users (that's some task)

4. We, the users, also need to help keeps things clean

So in short, what can I, as a USER, do to help improve this situation!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] limitless:
I've used FingerKeyb for a long time with the "regular" WM builds, but after switching to WM 6.5.5 builds 28xxx and now 235xx, it was nagging me more and more that there was a "dead" space between the keyboard and the app area...

So much that today I decided to try and fix it... with success :D

before:

after:

[sorry for the blurriness, it seems there are some size limits / compression going on]

The fix is quite easy:

step 1/ open \Program Files\FingerKeyb\Skins\skin-01-global.txt

step 2/ search for "CScheme TaskbarSize" (probably all the way down in the file) and add 16 to the number you see there (in my case 52 -> 68)

step 3/ soft-reset

step 4/ profit! :D

Enjoy!

[HD2 General] wigwam12:
Okay I apologise in advance to potential flamers.

I thought it was possible to use the flash as a torch without any extra cab/app but am I correct in assuming that this is not the case as I must source an app to do this? I have search the HD2 forums and all threads seem to discuss apps....

Don't know why I thought I saw this function on the phone when I got it....

Anyway if not is Torchbutton the simplest?

Is using the flash for this preferable to having the screen go bright [is this even possible?]

Thanks
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
search for "torchbutton". works a treat.
[HD2 General] thumpabar:
Sure...simple...press the camera button, then hit the flash button twice..LEDs turn on...hit flash button again LEDs turn off!

No apps, hacks, cabs takes all of 2 seconds!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
torchbutton is great, i use it every night to navigate the cellar to the top floor, heh, simple instant on/off quicklink on my home screen, job done. (theres another one floating about that takes 5 secs to start, very annoying)

wayyy brighter than using teh screen to navigate, , dont forget how dark most of the screens are on your phone, they just dont cut it.

I just got the nexus one and am loving it! However, I've noticed that in the phone dialer, there isn't any kind of auto-complete function.

Hi

I downloaded the 3 files.

-eclairhero.user.conf

-rootfs.img

-system.sqsh

As I understand I use a haret.exe and startup.txt file from another build?

But what modules/zimage do I use?

the conf file, is it suppose to be directly in root of sd card or in a conf folder?

Also do I use only one fat32 partition?

can I use swap and ext2?

Thanks!!
[Touch HD Android Development] klinux:
as haret and startup doesn't change I didn't add it so yes use those from eclair

download the latest zImage from glemsom's website

conf file should be on conf directory

u can use fat32 or ext2 systemfile as the rootfs support both of them

hope this will help

[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I'm just downloading the components myself (as you described, and putting them all together.... should take me an hour or so).... I'll play with it, and if it's working, I'll make an installer cab and release it... with credits to you of course.

What's not entirely clear is, is this Blackstone only? Of late, my releases have been device agnostic (and the installer supplies the correct startup.txt file for any given device).

My Android skills are limited, so any help on which devices are supported would be great.

Also, nobody's ever gotten around to giving a GOOD description of the function of each component...

e.g.

zImage - linux kernel (the absolute 'hub' of the linux OS)

modules.xxx.xx - additional files required by kernel.

initrd.gz <--- unclear what this is

system.sqsh <--- what IS this actually storing.... is it Android or is it customisation or is it both??

rootfs.img <--- what's this?

conf\xxx.conf <---- this is also unclear

Now don't get me wrong, conf is clear that it's helping the OS know where certain partitions are, and how to behave in terms of pagefiles etc etc, but the naming convention isn't clear or why it changes name (why's it not android.conf?)

Any info on this would be superb since I'd like to add it to my FAQ.
