[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .hEiMDaLL.:
Hi all,

would be great if anyone could help me too.

I'm trying to generate a Goldcard but i was not able to find a way to generate one for my HD2.

My CID is :

0E99007278BD70804736315553445303

or maybe better with "00" in front?

0099007278BD70804736315553445303

Thanks in advance for your help.

GoldCards created for the serial number of your microsd card (unzip the attached file to get the img files). One with the original serial and another with the first two digits replaced by zeros. Try the zeros img file first as that sometimes gives better results.

Regards, Mark.

Can it be done, and how?

Like to make theme but want to get rid of the text.

Any pro,s here that can assist?

Hello

Im wondering about something.

On the nexus in the clock application the weather info shows up under the clock.

Is there any way to get this weather info to show up one the lockscreen?

Would be cool to have it there.

Anyone know?

For some reason when I enable my location and my phone is connected to my Airave, it locates me in a city about an hour away. When I turn my airave off, it is able to tell the actually city I am in. Is there anyway to correct this?

I am using the stock ROM with WM6.5 which was recently released. The only modifications I have done is added the Taskbar and Co0kie home screen mod.

Thanks,
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] MiniDrew:
Same issue. Soon as the phone enters the building with the Airave it jumps 200 miles.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jhworley:
I can answer this one! I'm a Sprint employee and am extremely familiar with the Airave.

The Airave broadcasts signal allowing your phone to have signal in an area where Sprint signal is not normally available. It does this by receiving a request from your phone, connecting to the Airave, and then then sending the request via your broadband internet connection rather than through a Sprint tower.

The problem you are experiencing is because of settings with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your location, often refered to geolocation, is set by your IP address (provided to you automatically by your ISP). ISPs often base IP addresses in a city where the company is basing operations. For example, I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and use Comcast as my ISP. My IP address however is based out of Rockford, Illinois.

If you go to http://whatismyipaddress.com, you will see the city to which your IP address is set. The city listed at this site, I would assume, is the city you see on your phone as your current location.

As far as a fix, I don't have much in the way of an answer. If the weather application is the issue, you could always set a city, rather than using the automatic location setting.

I hope this gives you some insight as to why the problem exists.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] MrMaNz:
I had this same problem with my Touch Pro 2 using one of the Mighty Roms. I can't believe I didn't even think of the AirRave as the culprit. I figured the weather location came from my GPS coordinates, not which cell tower I'm connected to. This makes sense now. However, once I updated to Mighty Roms latest Rom, I no longer have this problem and my location is correct. Maybe Time Warner NY is doing something differently now and my AirRave is reporting the correct area. Before my phone was saying my location was "Jackson"...now it says "New York".
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mstevens:
Precisely the same has happened with me. On cooked ROM's my location is "Jackson" (NJ, I think) and on the Sprint 6.5 ROM it's New York. I'm on Comcast cable, not Time Warner. I doubt this is an issue of the ISP one uses to access the internet from the Airave's location but rather of Sprint as the ISP for the phone via the Airave - Sprint is supplying the IP address for the phone, not your personal ISP.

The likely explanation for the apparent location change, of course, is that between ROM flashes Sprint changed something that provides different geolocation data and that this has nothing to do with the ROM itself.

More interesting is the comment above about a recent cooked ROM providing correct location information. It seems as if it should be possible to hack the location feature to use GPS rather than IP geolocation.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Rhodium500:
It is not rom related you are wrong. It is all about the ip address location.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] af_txboi:
same thing for me, but dont think it has anything to do with airave, dont even know wat that is or if i even have it on, but my fone shows my current location as a small town about 20 miles away with a population of about 200 (not thousand, just 200) so dont think it has anything to do with towers, any ideas?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Rhodium500:
It is all about the ip address. If I plug in the phone to activesync I get one ip and one location. If I use the verizon data connection I get another ip and another location
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jobobusa:
It does not appear to be IP related as the website posted to check the ip shows me in Kansas... but my location on the TP2 shows Canton, OH while connected to the airave. I know that I put in a zipcode in the settings for the airave on sprint's website and even that zipcode is different than the city I get.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mstevens:
When you go to the same website ON YOUR PHONE does it show you as being in KS or OH?

Your phone and your computer don't have the same IP, even if your phone is connecting through your computer.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mstevens:
You're quite wrong about this.

The IP for my phone is supplied by Sprint's DHCP servers when it connects via the Airave. It's not supplied by Comcast's DHCP servers at all.

At the moment, both my notebook and my phone are online. Both the wireless router to which my notebook is connected and the Airave go through the same Comcast cable modem. There is no cellular service available near my house except via my Airave.

At the moment, my notebook's public IP is 24.147.35.xxx and my phone's is 174.146.248.xxx. As you can see, they're quite different. If I switch off my cellular radio and connect the phone to my WiFi, it uses the same IP of 24.147.35.xxx as my notebook. The 24.147.35.xxx address gives a geolocation of Monson, MA even though I'm in NH. The 174.146.248.xxx gives a geolocation of Cedar Grove, NJ.

Thus, your answer is wrong on several fronts. The ISP that supplies internet connectivity to the Airave has nothing at all to do with geolocation on a phone connected through that Airave. Further, the location shown on the phone still does not match the actual geolocation that corresponds with the phone's IP address. In the real-life example before me right now, the location on the phone is 21 miles from the geolocation of the phone's IP address.

Finally, the location service on the phone does not depend entirely upon geolocation based on IP address. If I turn off my cellular radio and connect via WiFi, my phone decides that it's in Hancock, NH which is correct even though the phone's IP geolocates to a different state.

That last bit suggests that the location service on the phone is perfectly capable of using GPS if it can't use IP geolocation.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] skola28:
Well said. BTW, Sprint has still not been able to fix this. All of my phones show Galena, IL instead of Cedar Rapids, IA (where I really am). The latest reason I got from Airave Technical Support is:

The Airave unit gets GPS data from a satellite. The location you see, is the location of the specific satellite that the Airave is connecting to.

Oh... My... God... I couldn't think of how to politely disagree; so I just flat out said that makes no sense whatsoever. The floor manager tried to tell me the same thing. :| This was after she tried to tell me the GPS was only used to facilitate connection to the network; which I agreed was possible, but pressed her to why it showed me about 100mi off if it was to be used for network connection? I also asked if this would affect my 911 use as the Airave is suppose to provide E911 data in case of emergencies; she said it doesn't use the GPS location for 911. I pointed her to the Sprint website which claimed it did; after which she started me a 'Network' ticket. ::sigh::
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ttugrad95:
I'm having this same issue. I originally got my airave for my office which was out in the middle of nowhere with no sprint service. I have since moved and changed jobs. Even though I live in an area with strong coverage due to the buildings (I think) I get signal fluctuations from full to nothing and dropped calls. I set my airave back up which solved that problem but when I am home my weather still shows the location of my previous office which is 200 miles from where I am now. I have made 4 calls to airave "support" and they have been unable to fix the problem. The last 2 calls I finally hung up after they left me on hold for about 45 minutes (I guess that's their current solution). Sad that after over a year since this thread was started sprint still hasn't figured out how to change the registered location of the airave. Not only is it annoying but it worries me that should I ever have to call 911 I may have issues. IF the registered location affects E911, and I have no idea if it does or doesn't, aren't they required by law to provide reliable E911 service?

Yep, it's 1.6. Sony Ericsson has confirmed it will be upgraded, but not when.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Docavelli:
The UI looks cool. We lowly G1 users would love to get it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ady:
There are only two apps that X10 has. TimeScape and MediaScape.

You can simply copy the apks from /system/app once it becomes available. Given that they don't require anything substantial in the kernel (they shouldn't), and that you have enough processing power (which the n1 has), you should be able to use them on any android phone.

Also, as far as I recall, the whole homepage is the timescape interface. You can set it on any android phone to replace your default launcher.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
I would really like too see timescape and mediascape ported, but I don't believe, it's that easy. For example, it was't possible either, to port the widgets from sense UI to our existing roms.

Thanks for info kevin but i cant seem to get past part 2

When i open up ceregedit it doesnt detect my tg01 so i cant get into the reg files. Is there something special i need to do to get ceregedit to detect my phone - im connected via usb.
[TG01 ROM Development] elder T:
Thank you very much for the information, it is very detailed explanation indeed, good job!!!
[TG01 ROM Development] a_petrov303:
many thanks Kevin!

only one question left - at the end you suggest to make a master backup so that we can later restore the phone with the above settings...how to make a back up?

great thread!
[TG01 ROM Development] serialkillazzs:
nice post shame i dont have my tg01 anymore would have loved to have got rid of orange branding
[TG01 ROM Development] adzman808:
Kevin,

this is a brilliant how-too

& i thought i was 'brutal' with last bedrand... you've taken way more off than i even knew was there...

i just swapped to o2 PAYG & these settings (even without a hard reset) really helped strip out the orange (perhaps they should rename to brown) MMS / internet etc

FYI (to the board ~ kevin'll know this already)

a LOT of these settings can be removed without a hard reset, but it would be better to start from a fresh install if possible

but (if like me) you already did the auto cab install remove, then you can still delete the settings mentioned above.

Thanks again Kevin.

This just leaves the orange boot up screen... i'm getting no where with that... like people have said.. needs a unlocked ROM methinks... can't even find the file on the phone :(
[TG01 ROM Development] adzman808:
if on vista/win7 - you must run ceregedit as a administrator

the phone must have made a active sync connection with windows (NOT just show up in win explorer) or ceregedit wont detect it.

cheers
[TG01 ROM Development] adzman808:
you'll need 3rd party software like spb back up... search on this forum - you'll find plenty of info

cheers
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
You're welcome :) I've edited links to each of the 3 principle Backup solutions own websites into the first post. I'd say they are broadly similar, but each tend to have their own enthusiasts. Suggest a quick trawl on XDA and other forums for feedback and then 'try before you buy' where a trial version is available to check out.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Thank you :) - you could always 'come back' you know !
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Thank you for the compliment, Adam; much appreciated and glad it seems to work OK ! :)

I don't think the Orange boot screen is on the phone - I think is hard coded in the ROM and written into the equivalent of the Bootstrap Flash chip on a PC - so is the same as the Asus or whoever's logo splash screen you get when you start up your desktop (assuming POST isn't set to display).
[TG01 ROM Development] bib*oops:
Thanks, Kevin, for your work: nice post, very clear & instructive...

Although I thought it will remove the ''funny" stripes(aka toshiba menu:confused:) too... Is it possible?Which way?

What are they reffering to:

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetup:Path 32

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetup:Path 33

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetup:Path 35

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetup:Path 36

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\CommSetup:Path 37

NB. Do NOT delete Path Path 31 and Path 34

because I didn't delete those.

Thx again!
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Many thanks for your compliment :)

These are two different things. The Keys you identified above relate to the Root Certificates. I've shown in more detail in the attached picture:

View attachment 298079

We are deleting all the Orange specific Certificates which I don't think will now be required but keeping the two generic ones marked in red.

The Toshiba Stripes menu system is controlled from the Registry but a different part - this wasn't included in the above process, but it will be possible to disable in a similar manner. The configuration of each Stripe is included in a set of Keys here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Toshiba\RegistrySettings\MainMenu

There may be other Keys which also contain references, but I havn't searched for those as yet. In the meantime, the Toshiba Stripes UI can simply be 'switched off' by deselecting in the Today Settings just like the Windows Titanium UI.
[TG01 ROM Development] heliumv2:
what about the orange welcome screen?

windows start screen is only replaced
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Please see Post#12 above - it appears hard coded in the ROM NAND and so far we are unable to find any way of replacing - until such time as there is a viable independent ROM which a number of dedicated people are working hard to achieve.
[TG01 ROM Development] Observit:
Nice detailed instruction.

Thanks a lot.

My question is:

Since I used already this metod from your post #71 , would I be able to do "master clear"

and start it all ower again.

Thanks again.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
There is nothing to stop you doing a Hard Reset (Master Clear) and starting the whole process from square one. However if you have already part set up your device, you can do most of the changes retrospectively as well, but you probably won't end up with as thorough a 'spring clean'.

The ideal is to start with a HR, go through step by step until happy and then make a Master Backup so that when you do a future HR you can quickly get right back to a known clean state.

If you have already installed various Apps, worthwhile saving the Settings for those (many have a built-in function) as again will make it easy to restore their configuration 'just so' following a clean reinstall.

Hope that helps ....
[TG01 ROM Development] Observit:
Thanks.

I'i do it all over.

wceload.exe

Kevin

I found on a Russian site another debranding procedure:

they recommend after HR, when the calibration screen appears, to connect to PC and place in Windows directory using Active sync an emply file called wceload.exe

they claim that none of the operator autocabs will be installed this way.

I am a complete beginner :o in WM but I would appreciate your opinion on this procedure, even theoretical

many thanks
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hi and thanks for the suggestion :-)

The idea has some possibilities, but also potential issues... wceload.exe is a system file which controls installation of .cab and .cpf container payloads. If you were able to 'overwrite; it with an empty file then it certainly won't fulfil its job of installing the boot .cabs; however you would need to remove it afterwards to enable normal .cab installations subsequently.

Out of interest I tried this - but hit the expected problem of not being able to write a file from the desktop PC to TG01 ..\windows on top of a ROM file.

Normally to do that I would copy to uSD Card or the My Documents on the device and then copy to ..\windows using Resco Explorer.

The source you mentioned may well have a means of overcoming that issue, in which case probably a viable solution; however since all the rest of the debrand exercise involves going into the Registry direct, I think is probably just as easy to simply delete the unwanted .cab Registry Keys all at the same time.
[TG01 ROM Development] a_petrov303:
:confused: well they insisted on using Active Sync to write the file to the \Windows directory, I don't know if would make any difference

thanks for the explanation on this procedure!
[TG01 ROM Development] gino70:
Kevin, thanks!

Hi Kevin,

I appreciate your work, I love to "destroy" my phone and ceregedit help me. :)

But I have my tg01 (orange uk with new italian rom 6.5)

FREEZED

(wrong unlock code for more than 3 times) and your deblock procedure do not work

So, it's possible to unfreeze the phone via regedit in this case?

Sergio
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Sergio,

I'm afraid you appear to be mixing up De-Branding with UNLOCKING. Two totally different things.

Unlocking means to remove a specific Phone Operator SIM Lock so that you can use the device with any mobile operator.

The soft de-brand process is only about removing as much as possible of the Registry entries and stopping installation of the (in this case Orange) branded applications that are normally auto-installed when you boot up the TG01 from cold or after a hard reset.

I am not expert on unlocking, but I believe that the SIM Lock is completely independant of the ROM - so even though you have used an Italian ROM, if the device started out as a UK Orange branded one, then it has an Orange SIM lock active.

Assuming that is the case, I recommend you contact this chap: vitamise@googlemail.com

He offers a very prompt service to send you an Unlock code by email for £10. You just need to make the payment via PayPal and include your phone EMEI.

Hope that answers the query ?
[TG01 ROM Development] mr.mike:
I don't think so ,someone can confirm that?

[TG01 ROM Development] Canadonia:
I've been having a small issue that perhaps you can help me sort out: I have followed all steps (MANY times now... ) and whenever I finish all the regedits in CERegEditor, I tap the screen and my stubborn little TG01 continues on like usual, booting into its original format.. as if I hadn't just spent yet another hour manually editing the registry! It's very frustrating. I even made a backup image in CEregeditor of my mods before my last attempt, but if I go to Compare Registries, it still does nothing when I tap the screen or reset the device.

Is there a secret step that I'm missing that actually applies the changes made in CERegeditor to the TG01? Any ideas?
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Have you used File | Save or hit the 'floppy' icon to dave ?

Suggest try making just a couple of simple changes, then use the Connection | Reload and check the changes are there - should then work absolutely fine when you disconnect and soft reset. (You can also SR from CeRegEdit with the green button).

Good luck !
