Spb Backup helps to reduce time in reinstalling programs especially after a rom upgrade flashing..I found it to be very useful for flashers who like to try the different type of roms in restoring the programs and other datas by selecting the "rom upgrade" mode and unticking "overwriting files"

However after restoring through Spb Backup on my Leo "HD2" phone it get muted automatically after making 1 call ie on my second call the other party will not be able to hear me whereas I am still able to hear the other party.

When I received calls irrespective of how many calls I received there is no such problem ie.the other party is able to hear me and the phone is performing normally.

It will only occur after restoring through spb backup when I make the 2nd outgoing call onwards but may be due to 3rd party program softwares .

Soft resets after restoring the same issue recur.

I have to overcome it when I make the 2nd and subsequent calls by pressing the mute icon twice. I do not have this problem after flashing and before restoring through spb backup.

I know the problem may not be due to my restoring through spb backup but caused through 3rd party softwares that I had installed. I tried to uninstal phone related programs eg. inesoft phone and iconsoft phone and thereafter soft reset without success.

The other options is not to restore through spb backup after flashing/hard reset which means that I have to reinstall individual programs which is too time consuming as I had many programs to reinstall. I understand that I may use Sashimi which I am not familiar with....however left with no other options there is always going to be a 1st time.

Save and except for this issue/problem I am happy using the spb backup in restoring by using "rom upgrade" mode without "over writing files" after each rom upgrades/flashing

I am just wondering as to whether there is any registry settings/modifications as an easy way out of this problem which can solve this issue(currently it is a nuisance for me to overcome it by always press the soft "mute button" twice in order for the opposite party ie receiver to hear me when I make the outgoing call).

Any assistance from anyone would be much appreciated with thanks..
[HD2 General] KukurikU:
i am using exclusively SPB Backup for a loooong time and i am very happy with it BUT i am using the full restore option only when i am restoring to the same version of ROM. after a flash i am using sometimes the backup before i am installing some new app and i want to be sure that if something is going wrong, i am not having to start everything from the beginning, if i flashed a new ROM i am using all the options except "System files". why?

the ROMs are very different, the cooked ones especially because each chef is building\cooking with his owns method and files. is hard for me to imagine that restoring the last ROM configuration over the new one is going to be a successful operation.

and maybe the strongest reason should be that (imho) there is no logic in flashing a new ROM and overwriting it with the files and registries from the old one.
[HD2 General] leslie lee:
Thanks Kukuriku

Tanks for your sharing and advice.

I am generally satisfied using the spb "rom upgrade" mode and unticking the "overwriting files" in my restore operation after upgrading or changing roms save and except the above issue which to be fair may be due to 3rd party softwares installed earlier and not due to spb backup.

I had been strongly advised to use :AutoInstall" or Sashimi to restore my programs and data using PimBackup which I did not use todate as I had not tried on the 1st and 2nd method.

Thanks anyway for your thoughts.

Sashimi is how i go from task 29 to fully customized ROM in 30-40 minutes... i only have about 100+ programs and tweaks so ymmv...

The time i took to learn Sashimi is priceless...

That said, I use SPB Backup Full Restore only when reinstalling the same ROM version.:)
[HD2 General] leslie lee:
What is XMLs files

Thanks Pongster.

Perhaps I should try using your suggested Sashimi Method or alternatively..

Miri had advised in rom upgrade to use Tom's Autoinstal by Create a folder on your SDCard with name Autoinstall and place all your CABs & XMLs there, after flashing, your CABs and XMLs will be autoinstalled.

Btw what is XMLs file used for?

Any tweaks to the phone registry that you can think of to overcome the "auto mute" problem I am having on my phone?

Where is the registry that controls the phone mute function?

Thanks
[HD2 General] pongster:
Autoinstall is good if all your cabs are hardcoded to install to the directory of your choice (Main Mem or Storage Card)... since I didn't have the time to individually reconfigure over 100+ cabs to install where I want them to, Sashimi was the best choice for me... takes some time to learn but once set up it requires littel else to get going:)

No ideas on the auto mute problems you're having, sorry...

What version of Miri are you on?
[HD2 General] leslie lee:
On Miri V7.0 build 23544..Thanks for your explanation
[HD2 General] leslie lee:
It is not spb but resco audio recorder

Initially I thought is the radio problem

Then I thought it is the software programs problem

Next I thought it is due to the custom rom.

Finally I found the problem is due to "activating the auto recording phone" in resco audio recorder V4.62.

Deactivate it and the MUTE problem is gone
[HD2 General] pongster:
Glad you finally sorted it out:)

I've got Dutty's rom and SPB Mobile Shell loaded. Most all is well, but sometimes the slide up dialpad corrupts the display. See the attachment where the dialer is supposed to be it's just blank. If I reset the phone, it's fine again.

I can't tell if this is an issue in SPB Mobile Shell or some quirkiness in the dialer. Does anyone have a solution?

Hi people,

I have a very annoying problem...

I am using Windows7 64 bit. When I first plug my device (Touch HD) to my PC, it takes 20-30 seconds to view the directories under windows explorer.

I read articles related to "updating HTC USB Sync Drivers" and did step by step everything carefully. But also after updating the HTC USB Sync driver, it takes too long at the first explore.

After first exploring, it explores with no problem, instantly.

Is there anything to correct this issue?

I am going crazy... Please help...!!!
[HD2 General] RRJ:
Alright lads,

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to assign only one folder from my SD card to my music player? I ask as my music player is clustered with game music and ringtones (as I moved that folder to the SD card to save space).

All help appreciated,

RRJ
[HD2 General] manmute98:
i the same similar situation, if any one can help, either directing the folder or editing the default folder to avoid playing back ring tones, alarms or any other unwanted files!!!
[HD2 General] freedirk:
I am almost positive I have found this answer previously on here somewhere . . . am looking for it, will let you know when I find it.

EDIT - found it. Sort of. I was looking for a way of making music player just look in one folder for music, but couldnt find it.. In the end I hid the sound folders of a couple of apps (Waze included) and put my ringtones on the phone.

Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=673142&highlight=ringtones+music+player
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
But the problem is that was not an actual fix, it's more just moving or hiding the sound files which defeats the purpose because you won't be able to see your ringtones. This has long been an HTC Sense issue, Android/Sense builds do the same thing.

It's too late ... Microsoft has quite some advantage here with their Xbox platform.

Anyway, do you play games on your phone?

I do !

- Puzzle Quest

- Allmost all kind of card games

- Billiard

- Scrabble

- Shooter (but rarely because HTC Kaiser sucks on graphics).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Microsoft may have the advantage with XBox, but Apple definitely has the advantage with the iPhone. :) Indie games can be ported from XBox to WP7 in no time maybe, but AC2, Halo and NFS weren't coded in C#, so I'm not quite sure about real titles.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WhyBe:
Does the typical XBox game translate well to a mobile device? Just because a game is awesome on a game console doesn't mean it will be awesome on a smartphone form-factor.

Whichever platform has the best mobile-friendly games will dominate. Hopefully MS has something smart in the works.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Certainly games don't come to phones from consoles/PC unmodified - if nothing else, they're too huge. Phone gaming is also much more casual. However, my understanding is that Need For Speed or Assassin's Creed are hits on consoles, PSP and the iPhone. I don't see why Halo couldn't. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
To be successful nowadays, you dont only rely to shiny graphics or super fluid 3D.

But more on game play and current mantra, social gaming.

Sometimes, it is just a simple game, casual game, which we can find some good example on Facebook.

People are just addicted to it.

The only thing about this new WP7 gaming platform that let me down: It does not support synchronous/real-time online multiplayer, nor wi-fi/bluetooh adhoc. Don't even think about MMORPG like World of Warcraft, simplicistic graphics like Ragnarok online won't be possible because of that limitation.

Probably within 1 or 2 years, when the hardware will be improved, Microsoft have more time, they will be available on XNA GameStudio 4.1 or 5.0 :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XDA mark:
IMO best game ever on any smartphone/ipod/zune: BEJEWELED 2 \:D/

I do play games on my mobile device, but usually not very complicated games. So things like bejeweled 2, solitair, 'tower-defence games' and stuff like that.

And I do agree that 7 Series could become a better platform than the iPhone regarding gaming, because of a few reasons.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gom99:
The only game they need on wp7 is geometry wars and it's all over for apple gaming :).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Toss3:
It's too early to tell, but I think Windows Phone 7 is going to be the new standard in mobile gaming come this fall. Apple had never really cared about gaming nor do I think their user base cares much for it either(they're all about music).

Microsoft also has a pretty huge incentive to get a successful mobile gaming platform comparable to the likes of the PSP and Nintendo DS.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WhyBe:
Most popular iPhone app categories...

Somebody over there likes games ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
Hopefully they will let you use external controller or keyboard on games.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jasonjoo:
I hardly think Apple's worried about the gaming aspect of WP7S. Games are tremendously popular on the iPhone, mainly because a lot of the games are simple and puzzle-like (like Bejeweled, Peggle, Flight Control, etc.). Achievements are nice, but hardly something alone that will pull away iPhone owners or potential iPhone owners to WP7S.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Toss3:
Still I'd never consider the iPhone a mobile gaming platform as most of those "games" are more like flash titles you play in your browser to pass the time. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chassit:
From what's revealed at the moment, I think Apple will be having quite a hard time confronting WP7S on the battleground of gaming. No, I'm not talking about folly such as porting Gears of War or Mass Effect to a petty phone. What I'm talking about is the might of Xbox Live Arcade. I can instantly name some XBLA titles that will do fantastic on a phone, such as:

- Puzzle Quest

- Exit

- Braid

On XBLA currently there are already tons of stuff to attract light or serious gamers alike. And I can't see the reason why this is not happening. Firstly both WP7S phones and XBLA relies on the same XNA suite for game dev. Secondly the bottomline WP7S hardware specs leads to bunch of performance monsters.

Apple may have thousands of third-party developers. But when it comes to the dog fight with *polished*, *sophitiscated*, *professional* games, XBLA wins big big.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Shasarak:
I'm actually surprised Apple hasn't already launched an Apple-branded games console to rival the Xbox. Maybe this will inspire them.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Apple just can't do many things at once, they are a very focused company. They don't do like several dozen ventures to see what works. They brew their stuff until they're sure it's polished enough and then push it. Plus, with consoles, where's the opportunity? They like to go after categories where you have SEA companies making cool hardware but being just unable to make software right to create good user experience. This allows Apple to make hit products which allow the company to squeeze those huge margins by bundling bulk (and thus cheap) hardware with their software. You need all these factors to work at once to create a good opportunity for Apple. Consoles are a different beast, I think.

They may, of course, see a way of redefining the market, but I doubt it. I'd rather expect Google to do one of their crazy silly things like a free opensource console with Google Maps or something ridiculous like that.

Maybe there will be Xbox mobile. Mix between phone and portable game system with real D-Pad, analog sticks and buttons :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] satchef1:
This is the big boon for me. The Live platform on a phone? Yes please! There's various different gaming platforms on the iPhone, handling anything from scoreboards to fully-fledged vs multiplayer. To have the whole thing integrated in to a single, native service is fantastic!

XNA Game Studios and Silverlight also seem a lot more capable than the iPhone's dev tools. Hopefully WinPho7 won't get plagued by the same utter crap that fills the App Store (wishful thinking?). The only games I actually like on my iPhone are Plants vs Zombies, Peggle, Bejewelled, Flight Control, Canabalt and the geoDefence games. That's out of the 50 titles I've purchased for the platform. Poor going indeed.

Gaming has evolved since then - what we want is 3D shooters and RPGs or games that last longer than half-an hour.

Hi,

I've taken the plunge and finally moved from Windows Mobile to Andriod - picked up a HTC Magic (UK - Vodafone) its already sim unlocked... Having a play with it before i decide whether the HTC Supersonic is worth splashing out on when it comes out..

I know that you cant get the sense upgrade for the UK Vodafone HTC Magic - but i've seen some buzz words like rooting / flashing on here which suggests its still possible.

There are so many threads on here - its difficult to just find what i need - so if anyone could help i'd really appreciate

- Need a simple, idiot proof guide on how to get my HTC Magic with a sense rom on it (I have a 16gb memory card if it requires)

I just want a nice stable ROM which everythings works on - and a foolproof guide on how to install. So both pointing towards the guide, and pointed towards what the best ROM is.

Thanks for the help fellas
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
Since i don't have a clue what kind of magic the (UK - Vodafone) is i wont be able to guide you unless i start to search for info myself. So please provide me/us with more info about your phone and you probably have better luck getting help. What there will be useful to know is which Hardware revision and SPL you have. To figure that out you should check out the wiki there you should find more than enough info to get started. I will look back in this thread again tomorrow to see if you got further but still need some guidance.

Good luck with this, its not to hard as long as you care to read and read carefully before jumping into doing something there could brick your mobile. Bricks is often made when people does something without fully understanding what they are doing and what it does to the phone. But first of all figure out if you got a 32A or 32B board and what is the SPL. When you know this its easier to figure out what method you need to use to flash a cooked rom into the phone and what rom that will be suitable for the phone you got.

My guess is that since you write that the mobile wont get any sense update it will be a 32B board you got, but again this should not be a guessing game cause it can brick your mobile :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
You'll have to do some research on your own first. Get some ideas on what SPL's are, how to root, etc. etc. I did a month of research before I did root my phone and flashed different ROMs.

You need to provide your information about your phone like what SPL (although I would guess 1.33.0004 since I do have vodafone Magic as well), running on cupcake or donut, etc. That being said, I have a couple of sites that might be able to help you. Read/watch these thoroughly and understand them before you do root your phone.

http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/htc-mytouch-3g-magic/ (a lot of video guides that you might find useful)

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod *****I rooted my phone by using cyanogenmod's method for "Non T-mobile 32B Magics". In the last step, you can flash a different ROM instead of cyanogen's if you really want sense, but I highly recommened cyanogenmod as your first choice of ROM since it is so awesome.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking#sec02

Has a general info on 32B Magics. Useful website.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529062

Has other newbie links.

Don't be in a hurry rooting your phone as you might do something wrong (although it's hard to with all the wonderful guides out there) and deeply regret it. Do your research before you root it. And also try out different ROMs out there for Sense. People have different opinions on each ROM. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedalmeny:
Thanks both of you

Love this site - ever need a hand.. Always people around more than willing to throw you some advise.

I haven't gotten the phone yet - arrives tomorrow. So was pre researching for when i get it..

Thanks for all the tips, i'm definitely going to research this as much as possible before attempting it.. As you say, don't want to end up breaking the phone.

I will post back here tomorrow with the motherboard / firmware details it has etc. Then see what direction you guys can point me towards :).

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedalmeny:
Righty -

I decided to just follow the "Non T-mobile 32B Magics" guide you suggested - and do the Sense UI ROM later..

All done :). Everything went smoothly.

Now i do wanna try and Sense UI ROM - but do i need the Death SPL? - as searching.. It seems some say thats more for the G1. Not entirely sure..

Also it requires latest radio? u guys got a guide and where i should get the latest radio.. Or is my radio fine..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedalmeny:
Ah is ok i managed to flash it :)

Decided to go back to cyanogenmod stable ROM - the Sense UI ROM is almost there, but not quite yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
Your radio is fine as it is, it won't hurt to flash the newest radio though.

Haykuro/Danger/Death SPL are the same, 1.33.2005, and again do your research before you ask questions because just asking questions and getting specific answers won't get you much.

Same thing with partitioning your SD card. I recommend checking out theunlockr.com or watch videos from youtube (lots of guides there, I recommened ItsAndroidsWorld
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedivinehairband:
When you've rooted your phone the Recover Image will provide you with the options you need to partition your card.

I've personally used this ROM and it is the fastest Sense port I've tried though not something I use every day as it's not as fast as the 1.6 (Donut) based ROMs.

My personal favourite is SuperFast made by HTCClay. He also has a FastTest ROM which has links on this site but you can grab the SuperFast ROM from here the Android Spin forums. I'd post a link but it won't let me yet.

It's fast and stable and I love it.

If you want the DroidEris ROM then your phone should be able to handle it without resorting to a Death/Danger/Whatever SPL. I have the UK Vodafone Magic and I've not had to flash any new radios or SPLs to use those ROMs.

Be careful though. Once you flash one ROM you can't stop!!!

I'm a SERIAL FLASHER!!! AAAAHHH!!!
