[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] One Hype:
Yeah I read about disabling the pin thing in Win Mo as well, but unfortunately this was after I flashed Android to NAND. Mine hangs at the splash screen as well, but if you put the KAISDIAG.nbh file in the root of your SD card, from the Hard SPL threads, the phone will boot and get to the Android installer, but will then come up with errors when choosing to install to NAND. Unfortunately, I can't even go back to Win Mo because of this.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
I would say dont mess with it. Sounds like you are not sure what ADB is and haven't really done your reading.

There are ways to backup files and restore files to change the lockscreen. Hell, there is a thread on page 1 or 2 that talks specifically about lockscreens.

Please do some reading, the info is right in front of you.

i looked on the wiki guide but it really isnt detailed. i have no problem learning how to do this and really would like to but the guide isnt specific

buy root explorer from the market and go to system/app/htclockscreen.apk and hold onto it and delete. after that then reboot
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KwestJones:
Agree

I agree, I am fairly new to the Android and I was able to get through the initial steps of rooting it and flashing it however, I want to know the details.

Do I need to reinstall my programs every time or is there provxml like Windows Mobile had?

I partitioned my SD Card because the option is there but what is it for? Why is there a need to adb push some items vs just copying data directory on the card from the usb connection.

Why can't I get Live Wallpapers to work even when I disable Sense UI via home switcher?

The Wiki is great for some of the how's but I am missing some of the why's. And where I can go. Then if you go to a thread, the people on the thread are usually pass the point I wanna know and refer to it in passing.

Sorry OP, I don't have an answer to your question, but just many questions of my own. Now, I admit I could have missed the information somewhere on here but usually that kind of thing is sticked but this forum chooses not to use Stickies.

Thanks for any help you've got.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
Not sure what to tell you. The information is here for you to read. There are a ton of devs on this board that are doing a ton of stuff most of us dont know. This is a development forum, meaning they are de-compiling tweaking and recompiling. What you are looking for is a 101 class but these discussions are mostly 501 material.

Android is based on Linux. If you know that you have a leg up.

If you find a guide that teaches how to understand this stuff, please share it with all of us. Most of what these guys are doing is from lots and lots of experience and lots and lots of trail and error.

Hell, there are people that have gone to the lengths to write countless guides on rooting, pushing and pulling files, hell there is even a guide on how to compile your own ROM.

The information is there. Lots of it I don't understand either, so I sit back and try to answer what I can answer, most of which is just posting an answer someone else posted and I read because I have read a LOT!!!.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
It depends. Don't know what that program is. There are backup programs that you can buy that will do backups. You only lose your apps when you do a wipe. Please read more and understand what you are doing before you do it.

Now you are setup for apps2sd. I don't use it, I don't like it. I don't know if you can go back without reformating your SD card.

If you are asking about LWP, then you are running a 2.x ROM but have not read the entire thread about that ROM. Please search that thread for Live or LWP etc.

You will have a very hard time getting answers to any "why" type question when dealing with programming. Most of the time I get from my devs is "why not" or "cause that's what I felt like that day"

There is a guides stickie, a rom stickie. Not sure what else you are looking for.

My advice, if you do not know what you are doing, dont do it. Dont flash a radio unless you know what that will do. Keep reading until you understand what you are about to do.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokerpt50:
i tryed using root explorer app and hold then delete but it says it is a read only file and can not be deleted?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTessi:
I agree with a lot of the posts I have seen so far regarding the information existing and having to spend the time to find it. It was a bear for me to figure out how to sign zip files so that i could customize ROMs, but after spending nearly 6 hours going from one site to another and one thread to another, I finally pieced it together and can sign zips. In the meantime, i also learned a lot of other things too because as someone else mentioned here, a lot of times a thread is full of stuff, but only references something that they might be interested in at that particular moment.

Unfortunately, this is an advanced forum and lots of the people on here have taken the time to learn things by just "putting in the time"... You need to do the same thing and use search 5 ways from sunday to find what you want... if 10 pages into a 50 page thread you haven't found what you want, you still need to finish the last 40 pages, click all the links in the threads and make sure you've searched things in that thread that you can't find after finishing it... then you do it all over again on another thread.

Guides are nice, but if everyone spent time making guides, development of ROMs etc. would suffer as this is not easy stuff until you figure it out and make it work and there is no truly easy way to make a guide that is multi-faceted.

Maybe if you learn things on your own, you can piece together all the different places you found the pieces you needed to do what you wanted and create the guide...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KwestJones:
Thank you

Programs like Google Maps, like Google Voice, like Google Goggle, like Advanced Task killers...standard programs that I would want to have on my phone everytime I flash a new ROM. The two ROMs I've had both required wipes.

Now if its title implicates its meaning, I think it might be answer to the question up above, but I haven't been able to find an explanation of what it is. Maybe that's my impatience. I did look in the guides on the WIKI and although there is an explanation about how to switch an Apps2SD card, there is no explanation of what it is or how to use it.

You are right. I didn't read the 37 pages about the ROM. I did look in the guides on the WIKI and that's not there either.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to reverse engineer the code. I do wanna know why I need to, for example, partition my card to use Apps2SD. I do want to know why I need to adb push.

I guess that's the answer to the question. Keep reading. I was looking for a compilation and summary. I guess I'll just have to get busy reading and updating the wiki myself.

Thanks :)

You have to press the {R/W} button on the top of the screen first. Stands for Read/Write, when done press it again so it says {R/O} Read/Only
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmidle8575:
Joker,

I'm willing to try to walk you through it step-by-step if you want me to. Are you running Windows? If so, have you downloaded Android SDK Windows? Once you've downloaded that, put it in the C:\ directory of your hard drive and let me know. I'll try to make this in plain English. I'm rather new to Android myself, but this is a rather simple task if you have someone willing to explain it to you. I'll give it a shot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmidle8575:
Please connect your phone and select the HTC Sync option. I forgot to mention in the previous post that you should have the most recent HTC driver installed on your computer. If you have HTC Sync installed, you should have the driver too. When you connect your phone and select HTC Sync, it will search for Sync but not find it. This is ok, just acknowledge the prompt on your phone.

Next, open the Command Prompt. One way to do this is to go to the Start Menu ---> Run and type: cmd

This should open the Command Prompt in a new window. Next type each of the following lines into the Command Prompt and press Enter at the end of each line.

cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/app/

rm HtcLockScreen*

exit

adb reboot

Once you press enter after the reboot, your phone should reboot with the Android 2.1 lockscreen. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to ask. I'll try to check back and answer whatever I can. Good luck.

I've got a few questions about installing to NAND vs running it from the SDcard with heret, I'll add the answers under the questions once they have been answered

-What's the difference in battery life?

-Does windows mobile unload completely?

-What's the performance difference

-Is there a difference in running memory size'

-Is it possible to switch the install to NAND from SD and viceversa without user data loss
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
1. It's about the same

2. Yes it's completely gone from your phone.

3. It's faster from nand

4. no

5. yes
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
I get much better battery life on nand. better than wm. maybe its just me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Barogi44:
Same here, except when i use a 2.1 build, they drain my battery like crazy. But MYN's donut gives me way better battery life than any wm rom. :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
that's cause they still haven't quite perfected 2.1 yet. but myns build is near perfect! and the speed on nand is amazing
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Barogi44:
Yeah thats what i thought.. And yes the speed is outstanding!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
more like definite battery improvement!

my phone actually lasts a whole day!

WITH heavy phone usage

but now that opera mini 5 is on the market.

the battery should last even longer now

no more having to load a whole page

just images of the sites! haha :D:D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] PaceyWhitter:
The only thing that I would disagree with previous posters is on the speed issue. To me this is all dependent on the quality of your SD Card and your setup.

With a class 6 SD card (even without partitions) I saw little difference in speed when I flashed to the NAND, OTOH I'm sure people with slower cards saw vast improvements.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Getting ready to go to NAND...

I've been running from my SD card for several months and now getting ready to take the plunge by installing Android to NAND.

Questions...Once you install to NAND:

1) do all Apps get installed to NAND or can some get installed to SD?

2) I assume that you can still reference music and other files on the SD card?

3) Are there any drawbacks to going to NAND? Wiping windows from ROM is not a concern.

Looking forward to NAND.

Thank you for your advice!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] joshmxpx:
i made the switch from sd to nand last week, and boy, what a difference!

battery life:

i used to get about ~12 hours with sd, with no data, no browsing, and limited texting

with nand, i have synchronization turned on for both gmail and work email, do tons of browsing, games, and making calls, and still have ~70% after 12 hours

stability:

my phone used to freeze up about once a day (sometimes up to 3 times) with sd install, since nand install, i haven't had one freeze up

definately worth the switch to nand!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Great! Getting ready to unlock my phone.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
there should not be a significant battery difference nand vs haret IF you are using the same kernel. I suspect that people who note the difference changed from an older zimage kernel to a newer NAND kernel (.nbh), as there were significant battery improvements in the last 3 or so kernel updates. i agree with other posters that you probably won't see a significant difference in speed if you are running a fast sd card, maybe a small one.

i personally use nand, cause I have no use for win mo anymore.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
I have to disagree with the others. I used the same date nbh as zimage and after flashing I get about 6 more hours of battery. and I have a good sdcard. on startup it even says [new high speed sdcard installed] my old 512mb card never said that. so I do have a really good sdcard and again, after flashing, its much!! faster!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drock3260:
has anyone had issues with loosing connection to their service provider with a flash? I'm on verizon and doing a hard reset on the phone has made me loose my information and have to call to get it reset up before. If that happens we have to flash back to winmo to fix it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
I'm on sprint I have that problem only if i flash to stock winmo then out to another rom without loading winmo, letting customizations run, then making a data connection, if i do that then flash then i have no problems. But i can flash from rom to rom with no provider data loss
[Touch CDMA Android Development] azhockey:
Sorry to revive an ancient topic :o. I'm really thinking about making the switch from haret to NAND but I would really like to keep my data. The second post in this said that you could keep your data. Is that true? If so I'm flashing it tonight!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mikurej95:
1. All apps do get installed to the NAND, and you can move some apps to sd in the applications settings

2. Yes, you can, altough i haven't had much luck with video (maybe because my sd is class 2? it plays for 1 second and then freezes, but sound still goes, and when i try to push something, it force closes)

3. NO DRAWBACKS WHATSOEVER please go with froyo ;)

I got a new SIM card 4 days ago because my old sim card was giving me problems. It was working better, but would still occasionally disconnect from the network.

Ever since yesterday, I've had "no service". I've tried connecting to AT&T through "network operators", but it just takes forever and says "your sim does not allow a connection to this network". It does pick up AT&T though. My APN settings are fine.

I've wiped and reflashed superd 1.9.3. I've wiped and now I'm on fasttest 3.0. Rebooted a million times, still can't connect to AT&T.

I've put my sim card in another phone, and it works. So its definitely my G1.

Could this be a hardware issue? Did my internal antenna come loose? Please help me out here, you people with G1's on AT&T.

Eyup,

This is not my fix, I found it here all credit to Nuno Luz of MSMVPs.com - who in turn found it from "Chris de Herrera" here. (That's as far as I traced the credits ;))

Basically in Active Sync 4.* Microsoft removed the ability to Sync with 2 Exchange Servers.

I tested this fix on my phone with the following setup:

Active Sync via USB with Work's Exchange (no E-Mail)

Active Sync via USB to Home Outlook (no E-Mail)

Active Sync OTA to Google Apps Mail (inc. E-Mail)

Changing the following registry setting will allow it to work with 2 servers.

Tweaks (in many formats)

Changing the follow registry DWORD to 1 will enable it:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination]

Here's the Prov XML for anyone who's interested to use:

<!--Enable Multiple Exchange Servers -->
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync">
<parm name="EnableNonLocalCrossPollination" value="1" datatype="integer"/>
</characteristic>

And finally, here's a CAB: Download

P.S. I would recommend soft reset after installation.

EDIT: If I'm not the first to post it on here, then I couldn't find it. Let me know if someone else has, and I'll make this thread disappear :D.

Thanks,

Dave

Do i have to set up one Exchange Server on my PC's ActiveSync and the other on my WinMo's ActiveSync.

Or is there a possibility to add one Exchange Server to my WinMo's ActiveSync?

And if there is one ... how can it be done?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Remco-:
You say you can sync email with multiple exchange servers with this?

I can't find any way to setup the second exchange account when you already have an exchange account setup.

I do not want to sync through USB, I want it to be possible through 3G / WiFi for both.

What I want is to sync 2 email boxes on 1 Exchange Server. Basically my own email box and an info box. This can also be done of course by just adding the same server twice, just with different credentials. However I can't find a way to setup a second exchange server when you already have one set.

You sync email with only 1 account. Syncing different items with more than one PC / Server was already possible without this fix.

-edit- I'm not sure if it is coincidence or not, but syncing exchange through 3G stopped working after applying the CAB file, syncing through WiFi on same network did still work. After undoing it and soft reset it worked again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
No he is not saying this. He only said email at the last item of Google Apps Mail.

This only lets you sync multiple non-mail items with different Exchange servers. Once you pick email, it locks out the Exchange choice again.

PS: I really do need a way to sync two exchange email accounts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Remco-:
As do I, guess we'll have to wait for WP7
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
