Our system admin says:

That user needs to login using the xdaupload user in order to upload files.

I've set it so the xda user can no longer see the upload directory.
[About XDA developers] kevinsneel:
Yes, I have logged in as xdaupload ( ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes ROMS/). Without that, I would not have been able to see that directory at all. However, when I try to download that particular file (MobileVista4.00SeaDrago n_by_ansar.zip), I get 550 errors.

In browser, I get 550 Failed to change directory.

In filezilla client, I get 550 Permission denied.

Also, I still cannot find the files that used to be at /Uploads/Hermes/Cingular*.zip, as linked from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms

Is there a chance that you can test access to these files via xdaupload yourself and confirm that they are working? It is now more than 1.5 days that these files seem to be unreachable.

Thanks,

Our system admin is telling us that these files don't exist on the current servers, nor did they exist on the servers from which we migrated earlier this year. Weird.

Anyone know of low cost multifunction printer, scanner which would connect wireless to the HTC HD2 to provide simple scan to email and print from the HD2?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MobileData:
A friend brought me a good one today. He has an AT&T Touch Pro with a touch screen issue.

He brought me the phone months ago and I flashed the ROM. All was good. He then deleted a bunch of files one night accidentally and hard booted the phone in an attempt to get the files back. Upon hard reboot the phone hung at the calibration screen and he could not get past that. To describe, the screen calibration works on 3 of the 4 corners, if you hold the press the stylus to the screen quite firmly, but the top right corner will not calibrate however long I told the stylus to the screen.

He brought it to me today and I figured that a fresh ROM would resolve the issue. So I loaded a new ROM and the phone hung again at screen calibration. So I did some research and found a "welcome.not" work around to get us past the screen calibration issue. This was successful and I was able to get us to the home screen.

The issue is that the screen is very unresponsive and I have flashed the device so it's not a ROM flash issue. Is there a driver he might have accidentally deleted that is not reinstalled on a ROM flash? I know I am probably grasping at straws here but I thought this community might have some insight to what the issue is.

I have also considered the idea that I may need to replace the digitizer for this phone if that is the issue and am prepared to do so but thought I would throw this question out to the community for any tips/tricks or ideas you may have before cracking the case on this thing.

Thanks for your help in advance.

--Mike
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MobileData:
Oh and I forgot to mention that sometimes the screen works if you tap it continuously but most times, there is no response.

Hey Mike,same issue over here.I couldn't find any solutions so far.By the way,what's that "welcome.not" thing?

Well,after some google search i ended up with this.http://bittangents.com/2008/10/28/removing-welcome-message-doctors-appointment-on-pocket-pc-2003/

The calibration of the screen

IWPantel - Thanks for referring to my blog :)

To stop the welcome message, you need to put the Welcome.NOT in the root of a sd card or of the device. I don't believe this is your issue, however.

There are typically three reasons why the screen will become unresponsive.

#1 You have a bad touchscreen. Assuming that the screen was working perfectly, I highly doubt this is your issue.

#2 You are calibrating the screen with the stylus straight up. Believe it or not, the touch point changes if you are straight up and down, or if you have the stylus as if you are writing. The angle will affect the touch point.

#3 You have a conflicting .reg file in the Application or Platform directory of the handheld. The calibration settings are stored in the device's registry and they need to be updated. If you did a persistant registry tweak (where it exports the registry into NV ram, the calibration settings will overwrite the calibration settings you create on system startup.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tnq13:
Brent, I had the same problem here! My Fuze simply stopped responding to my touchs....

#1 Taking this as true

#2 I tried a hard reset, but nothing happens. I can not touch the screen to calibrate

#3 I just can not understand what you proposed.

Please, help me!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tnq13:
I don`t know why, but my cell just back to normal!

Now it's everything working!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sandandrocks:
@brentblawat - How come you are a Junior Member when your answer is so hardcore.

Anyhows, I have the same problem with my phone, I have tried all the software tricks I could think of. I guess your point 3 asks us to manually enter the calibration data in registry. Have tried it doesnt work.

I cant replace the hardware as I have Tmobile MDA and I dont get the spare parts for this here. the digitizer is different from the one in Touch pro.

[Omnia II General] stylus1828:
Hi,

I am pretty new and my english is not so good, but as many of you I am getting angry with Samsung Omnia II OpenGL driver poor quality.

For those who doesnt know what is goin on:

Samsung is confusing consumers that Samsung Omnia II has 3D accelerator inside, but the true is that the OpenGL driver is written badly and than there are many slow 3D applications or no running applications due to this problem.

There are some gifted customers, that are trying to create running version of driver on their own, but Samsung is the one who should do some certified OpenGL drivers for any app on WinMo!

In my opinion the only way that Samsung will do something is to create an online petition and send this information to much forums as possible. This can notify an online magazines and online media. Than Samsung have to do something or they will loose new customers, current customers and their nice looking Samsung Omnia II marketing strategy wont help them.

Update:

Thanks to user deepower, there is petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/omnia2/

Help us make Samsung Omnia II better!

Original petition text:

Samsung is misleading its customers by saying that Omnia 2 has a 3D graphic accelerator chip inside, therefore graphic-intense games and apps run seemlessly.Up to some point this is true, but becouse Samsung has coded the driver badly for the accelerator chip, the very own software that Samsung created can't even truly benefit from the accelerator, as well as other third party software. This petition is for Samsung to get to work for a better Open GL driver.

Please note that you do NOT have to donate to sign our petition.
[Omnia II General] FIREONHIGH:
signed:cool:
[Omnia II General] o2neouzr:
you're mistaken. there are proper opengl es 2 drivers. the open gl es 1 driver is just a wrapper for opengl es 2, so no wonder it doesnt work that well. learn open gl es 2 and it works properly.
[Omnia II General] stylus1828:
Maybe... i'm only a "messenger and user" that opened this thread to get more signatures... I'm not familiarized with the exact problem regarding the opengl driver for i8000.
[Omnia II General] ginkage:
Um... In fact, I wouldn't call it

proper

. Seriously, Omnia's GL2 drivers are quite ugly themselves.

As an author of that wrapper, I should point out that there is an "official" (i.e., written by Samsung) GL1 driver included in Omnia 2 (I mean libGLESv1_CM.dll). The problem is, it simply doesn't work. I.e., at all. It worked on some earlier firmwares (around IG6 or IG7), but then suddenly stopped working.

And, even if it did work, it would be slow as hell. Me and Chainfire already tried using it, and abandoned the idea itself. Then again, Samsung abandoned it too.

"Properly" is simply not the word. There are a number of issues with GL2 drivers, and no sign of fixing them.

More to it, we don't have an ORION shader compiler available in an official SDK, nor does Omnia's GL2 driver has glShaderSource implemented. So, there's, in fact, NO official way to develop GL2 programs for Omnia 2.
[Omnia II General] weesals:
I was asked to develop for this device from my employer; the driver is far too buggy and slow to be useful.

I'm not sure that Samsung would recognise a petition, but its at least interesting to see how many people were bitten by Samsungs buggy drivers.
[Omnia II General] stylus1828:
Now that's interesting... Developers cant develop GL apps and games for this stupid phone because samsung is so f$%@!$g lazy. :mad: Thank you Samsung. :mad:This will be defenetly my last SAMSUNG STUPID f$%@!$g phone. Good for me that i'm selling it Sunday.
[Omnia II General] stylus1828:

I totally agree with you man this damn iphone that every other bastard has is giving me the ****s e.g. "ohh hey there what apps have you got on your phone?" I mean no one even said "apps" before the iphone/pod, haha a tad off topic but Samsung should just get on with fixing thing BEFORE they sell them to people I mean what are beta testers for huh?
[Omnia II General] cruxader:
While I am upset that Samsung does this, I would like to point out that HTCdid the same to the Kaiser also.

Looks like the manufacturers will try to get away with any corners they can cut!

I am even more disappointed that review forums such as GSMArena did not pick up on this shortcoming! Afterall, we trust them more than the manufacturers! ;(

Hi all, today i have benchmarked 4 PDAs and OMNIA II so sadly was the slowest in some graphics tests :(

well, i am going to return my OMNIA II to electroworld tomorrow and going to buy a HTC HD2

Also i told all of my friends on social networks saying that " do not buy samsung products" i am paying a price of a laptop! i deserve better.

So, i kindly request all of my friends here to support me.

Spread this message to everyone.

Samsung has to do better.

Update: At the request of flipz, this will not be released until his public release. Sorry.

Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce that I've created a 2.1 ROM!

This ROM is based on Fresh 2.0, only I didn't like the fresh stuff, so I removed that :).

Thanks to deca, flipz, toast, gbphil, and tjaero. Without you, I wouldn't know where this ROM would be.

Practically EVERYTHING works in this 2.1 ROM, including:

Camera (camera recording doesn't work)

Bluetooth

MMS

and practically everything else, but most importantly:

it has the... .29 KERNEL

I also made a lot of my own modifications to it:

Mods:

Added stock Android keyboard, htc keyboard still there though. (Please test, not sure if it works)

Added ES file manager

Added Wired tether

Flash player 10 (NOT LITE, 10!) installed

Added Sprint Navigation (didn't put in Sprint TV; it doesn't work on 2.1)

Added launcher2.apk (needs testing however, not sure if/how it will work)

Removed bootsound

General optimization

Known bugs/missing features:

Google prompts you to sign in every boot (think of it as a 'security feature' :P)

No camera recording for a odd reason

No visual voicemail

Trackball light lights up at random for some reason

Download links:

At the request of flipz, I will wait until his public release of his ROM before this is released.

He released his, so I think it's okay to release mine. This is a test release, not fully done. I think I'm going to wait until the offical HTC release to release the final version.

Once again, this is just a TEST RELEASE:

Also, please restart as soon as it boots, or you'll get a bunch of FC's

You are MORE than welcome to work off of it. People love variations. All I ask is that you wait a couple days until I release to the public. I'm not trying to stifle creativity. Android is open and people are free to work off of it. I can't/won't stop you. But I do request that you wait.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah screw this. ur an ass.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
Glad your holding off on the release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andyjbmiller:
well thanks for the build up. I was really looking forward to this. I also do not like the fresh stuff so i will not donate to have to customize flipz rom. I thought you developers were about open source and helping this community. Not trying to make money off your work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
I know, and I really appreciate flipz doing all this. I never said I completely make all this, all I said I did is took out some stuff I didn't like. I'm very sorry you feel this way. I took out some fresh stuff I didn't like, such as the boot sound. My intentions were to make a ROM that people like me, who don't want the fresh boot sound and stuff, and just a easy, complete and fast 2.1 ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
*****this space for rent******

[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
oh u removed a boot sound and think its a new build then i guess. sorry lets all just pull an apk or zip from a build and call it our own build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
Thanks for being so polite, I'm sorry for this, won't happen again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I have to say, I kind of agree with toast here. There are too many ROM's popping up based off of what I would call "breakthrough" ROM's... ie. a ROM that has added a new feature or has a major speed increase, something along those lines. I think what would help this situation of people releasing ROM's based on what they like would be to make a thread that shows how to customize your own ROM (removing/adding files, etc.), and then people wouldn't need to download ROM's that are based off other peoples work but have a few things removed or added. Look at the Pancake 0.1 thread... SO MANY PEOPLE requested versions of the ROM with things added or removed, and there ended up being atleast 5 versions of it. Seriously people, either learn how to work with Android or don't complain.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
haha yeah, we need some sort of criteria before people can just start slappin "[ROM]" all willy nilly on their thread titles

(Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce that I've created a 2.1 ROM!)

Thats from the first post.Not tryin to stick my nose in this but you did say I've created,shouldnt it be (I've made my own version of flipz rom):confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
he also states later in the first post that all he did was modify flipz rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Yeah after I posted I did not read and see this was "based" off of flipz 2.1. The email you got specifically reads not to share until it has becomes public, I am not sure why Flipz post prompted you not to share upon his request at that point? Maybe you did not donate and got the link from someone else?

We already lost one dev, I would suggest not releasing this at all. Make a ROM to your specification but do not post with a tag of ROM, cause really its not. There needs to be a standard before you can go around touting a build as your custom ROM.

I will say you have taken all the feedback well, but damn lets not burn anymore freaking bridges.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
well the problem here is the flipz sat behind his desk nonstop for the last 4 days to fix this build to be released. when he got it, it was stripped down and unusable. so he sits and fixes it up to be given to everyone. when its almost ready and he wants to send a beta out for others to test so when he finally releases he knows it can be right. so he sends it out and the smae peerson he trusted decides he wants some glory and decides hes gonna pull a couple apks or a boot sound and just release it before the guy who he got it from can. that be the issue. its know that alot of peole on here decide to base there roms off of others and there is no issue in that. its just that i think people need to show respect and i dont think thats what was fixin to happen. sorry if i was rude about it but thats just how i see it. i have always been the first to share all of my work with others and actually when i fixed opengl and multitouch i put my source up before i even updated the rom. i did that so others wouldnt have to wait for me to finish my build to enjoy it. but in this case this is flipz's build all together. -boot sound and maybe something else
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmr34:
The problem here is that this is (supposed to b) an open source comunity. It is the philosophy of many that if it can b released it should b released. Isn't that y everyone is always ripping sprint and htc? Donations are given out of generosity. Once you start holding out for money it becomes something other then generosity. I also don't like the fresh components and would remove them myself. Since I won't have to now ill b donating to bikcmp for atleast attempting to release what can b released. I will donate to flipz also for his work, only after the Rom is released
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Flipz was never asking for money to use his rom. he could care less if you or anyone else donates. All i see him doing here is thanking his donors for donating by giving them a sneak peak at a beta of his rom. It'd be dumb and unprofessional to release something that is seen as a fully working rom with a lot of bugs. If it was a developer rom, then that'd be a different story, but he sees this as an opportunity to release a fully functional 2.1 and wants his donors to test it out so the big release is as void of bugs as possible at the moment.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
my problem again isnt with others building off of other peoples roms. its that he was gonna release flipz's rom before flipz.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slim06:
damn toast u dont have to call bmr an ass, im pretty sure he didnt mean any harm and flipz fixed the problem... politely. i understand the devs work hard for us but dont get mad if it gets released early esp if you released the build to donators (now he would be an ass if he hadnt removed the d/l link)... kinda like the music industry, dont get mad if ur s#it gets leaked and u were the one who recorded the track in a room full of people. if u dont want this to happen dont release ur builds before u are finally done, plain and simple. but next time lets try not to release somebody else work before they get the chance
