I tried to install Myn’s build couple of times using the instructions. So here is what I did -

1. used a 2 GB microSD card, formatted the whole card (all 2gb) to fat32.

2. copied the extracted andboot to the card.

3. ran Haret, saw the linux screen booting continues, chose to install system, didn't get any option for the locations, process completed with several I/O errors.

4. Quit and reboot. boot process continues but never finishes, keep giving errors.

One thing I didn't catch do I have to create ext2 partitions with FAT32 for running android ? it doesn't seem to work with single fat32 partition.

another thing is when you say Myn's build includes all the files. Does that really mean it's a complete package and that's the ONLY thing I would need to keep on SD card for installation ?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Yes, Myn's build has everything you need.

I am running it and it is very stable.

Initially, I ran it without EXT2 partitions. It ran OK... but running with 2 EXT2 partitions was much more stable (less reboots) and much faster!

Yes, I did unlock the phone and also superCIDed (I am using radio 3.42.50 on verizon XV6900), I am much familiar with WinMO flashings but andriod is not working for me. With Myn's sd card package after installation I always get error msg saying

Any suggestions ?

I have been working with myn's build on my 6800. So far everything is working but I cant seem to get the system to find the ringtones. I have tried it in /media/audio/ringtones on the root of sdcard. Also just a ringtones folder on the root of sdcard. I even tried to browse to the mp3 or ogg file and set it as a ringtone but this option is grayed out so it won't do it. Any suggestions on this? Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Brave soul!

hmm... this worked for me (on another build.) How are you running, ext2 partitions?

If desparate you could add to /system/media/audio/ringtones via an androidupdate.tar.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
mine detects all the media on the card
[Touch CDMA Android Development] supradrvr:
I have 1 fat32 partition 2 ext2 partitions and 1 swap at the end. When I did the install I made sure it installed to the 2 ext partitions. I will try the update method.

Error Please set start of ram (RAMADDR)

Hi,

I've downloaded, extracted, renamed and copied everything from the first post to my HTC HD2.

When I start HaRET, I get the following message after I tap RUN:

"Error: Please set start of ram (RAMADDR)"

Am I doing something wrong?

Can you help?

Thanks!

Haret from Android

This is probably a stupid question since I've seen no mention of it, but...

I'm running Myn's Warm Donut build now and I'd like to try some of the Froyo builds, but I don't want to lose the stable Donut build for daily use.

Is there anything comparable to Haret that runs from Android? So that I could boot to the newer builds off SD card, but leave the stable Donut build on NAND?

im having some trouble opening some png images in photoshop. for instance

i want to open this file

and it opens looking like this

using cs4 on windows 7
[Android Themes] kusotare:
uh...thats how png files open. the checkerboard background means its transparent.
[Android Themes] xxmonsterx:
was that a joke?
[Android Themes] Ace42:
He's right though, the checkers are there since that is a transparent image excluding the blue dot of course. It looks like that on mines too.
[Android Themes] xxmonsterx:
no no nooo, i mean the distortion in the color and gradient
[Android Themes] Ace42:
Are you zoomed in?
[Android Themes] xxmonsterx:
no lol when i open the first file in pscs4 it opens looking like that, wheras if i open the same image in say, paint. it looks normal, but paint isnt very good for image manipulation
[Android Themes] kusotare:
then i cant help you, its gotta be something unique to your settings/computer. i use cs4 for everything, even tried opening the png you posted and it looks perfectly normal to me.
[Android Themes] xxmonsterx:
wierd, hm im gonna try to reinstall in x86 mode
[Android Themes] atolar:
If you zoom out to original size, perhaps it will look as you expect?
[Android Themes] Kazan22:
Is the color mode in Index or RGB?
[Android Themes] mr_deimos:
Kazan22 is right - you need to switch color mode from "indexed" to "RGB" ant it will look as it should. It's been a while since i last used photoshop, but if i remember correctly there's a selection in the image->mode menu (or something like that).

GIMP also has similar problem - you have very limited editing capabilities if you don't change the colorspace to RGB. But at least it displays images correctly ;)
[Android Themes] xxmonsterx:
changing color to rgb mode it still looks the same, but your right it was opened as index by default. i figured out a rather complicated method to get to do what i want using photoshop and ms paint together lol
[Android Themes] prash:
Download paint.net, open said file. save. open newly saved file in photoshop.
[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
I know what you mean, I have the same problem with some pngs from framework too. I still don't know what can it be
[Android Themes] goldenarmZ:
This.

Photoshop has horrible png support.. it can't deal with alpha or indexed images properly. If your images have been run through optipng, photoshop will mess them up like this.
[Android Themes] mr_deimos:
Well, you can always use the GIMP, It's free and handles these png's properly (if set to rgb colorspace) :cool:

Inkscape (free/opencource as well) also imports these png's properly. It's a vector drawing program, not raster like photoshop or gimp so it takes a bit of time to get used to, but in the end it pays off since image created once can be saved at any resolution - makes porting themes to different resolutions a breeze ;) That's what i used to create some icons for windows mobile, and i was really glad i did when i switched from a qvga to wvga device ;)
[Android Themes] goldenarmZ:
The GIMP actually has the same PNG problems as photoshop.. images run through optipng won't render or save properly.

Personally I'm using Illustrator mainly now since I'm making themes in ldpi and hdpi.. I only use photoshop to chop things up. :cool:
[Android Themes] mr_deimos:
Well, that's not entirely true:

The same image as in original post (pulled from ADW launcher apk), the left one is in indexed color mode (colors are fine, but there's only 1 bit alpha), the right one is exactly the same image but after changing colorspace to RGB. After modifying the file, saving it (as RGB) and applying a metamorph with it, android displays it correctly. The resulting RGB file might be a bit larger in size than indexed one, but i never really compared them.

Not trying to prove anything here, just correcting a slight misinformation - everyone uses the tools he/she is best at ;)
[Android Themes] goldenarmZ:
Weird.. I was absolutely convinced I'd tried that in gimp. :rolleyes: Thanks for the info. :cool:
[HD2 General] Foggy79:
Hello,

When looking in the wifi options of my HD2 I saw an option to set a static IP adres with dns etc.

Since I use static IP addresses at home and DHCP disabled, I set it up with a static IP. Works fine...at home. When I was at work I wanted to connect to the wifi there, but was unable to do so, probably because he was trying to use the static IP from home...

Why isn't the HD2 switching between these connections/IP settings?....

If this is not possible, why did they implement the option for a static IP on a mobile phone?

Ty
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Just like on your laptop, if you assign a static IP it will keep it even if you move to work and connect there. You have to remove it manually to switch back to DHCP. Nothing uncommon.

Uhm didn't you give the answer? ;) To connect to a network that has no DHCP...
[HD2 General] Foggy79:
I mean something as network profiles for each wireless network.

For example on my previous phone, a Samsung Jet, when I looked for wireless networks, I could set up everything for each different network he found.

Meaning when I selected my wifi from home he used the settings with the static IP from that profile, and when I was at work he selected the wireless profile with a DHCP IP from work.

Now I only have 1 set of options regardless of where I want to connect.

A static IP is not really "mobile" friendly to :)
[HD2 General] kilrah:
There's nothing to do that by default in WM.

Seems theres an app for it though:

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wifi-profiles-v0-0-2.html

Well, add a DHCP server at home ;)
[HD2 General] Archer:
The static IP address is a setting for the network card, as you well know. The network card does not change just because you go to a different location. Also, due to a bug with Windows Mobile, you may want to forget about using a static IP address. I don't know about 6.5, but with 6.1 it caused my data connection to try and use the same IP address, which was obviously an issue with my service provider, who just refused the connection every time. I was without a data connection for a day, before I figured out what the problem was.

Hi,

If I look the main screen of HTC Sense, there is one big clock on top and 4 icons on the bottom.

While in the middle, there is empty space ...

Can I put widgets there?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] sassyness77:
mmhmm

Yes, you can fill the entire screen with, well whatever your heart desires :) they just need to be the correct size, which is common sense ;)
[Android Apps and Games] gogol:

[Android Apps and Games] FloatingFatMan:
Try to put a widget in the gap that's bigger than the gap, and you'll find out. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] brummiesteven:
Dunno if i'm stating the obvious here but not sure if you realise...

You can also move/delete the clock and the icons. Replace them with whatever else.
[Android Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
Home screen items and widgets are locked to a 4x4 grid with icons being 1x1, things like the power widget and search bars being 1x4, etc. The SenseUI clock is actually a 4x3 widget iirc, so you can only get a single row of icons underneath it.
[Android Apps and Games] xiaomai0121:
sure,you can.
[Android Apps and Games] ZOMBII MATT:
no the clock is 4x2
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
what i did was to put the sense calendar widget in that place. looks good and functional
[Android Apps and Games] farukb:
TIP:use androids stock analog clock,it's much neater imo and more usable since you don't need weather forecast (and especially your location) every time you look at your phone....it is 2x2 so you can have a better usage of your screen and will also save your battery
[Android Apps and Games] o4kareg:
Better use smaller clock, 2 put more useful widgets @ home screen. Look at my home, for example.

Sorry if it's in the wrong section, but I had my phone on the right side of my laptop, and instinctively reached for it as my mouse... Is this possible?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
Remote droid is the closest you will come to using an android device as mouse. It however does not work the way you you are thinking...

I'm sure it is doable but you would have to put something under the phone to act as a fulcrum so the accelerometer knew when to adjust the pointer on-screen..

I'd be careful though, Apple may have a patent on the iphoneMouse....

OR

You could just not put your phone where you put your mouse and simply use your mouse :)

[HD2 General] EgoMaximus:
Hi,

I have noticed that when I call something, screen does not lock and I click various stuff during conversation.

Is this a default behavior or not? As in HD2 advertising it said that phone turns off screen when talking.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Do you have a screen protector? That's normally what stops the proximity sensor working as there's quite a few that stop it working. I have a protector on mine, but it's one that doesn't cause this problem. I'd hate it if I kept hanging up with my cheek! lol
[HD2 General] afropolak:
Today I've bump onto the same problem - no locking during calls - reason - using Lumos app. instead of autobacklight - check it !
[HD2 General] EgoMaximus:
Yeah, using advanced screen protector from clove.co.uk however, i haven't sticked it on those small lights.

Strlus does not work as well though.

What screen protector do you recommend?

Nop, not using Lumos or anything backlight related.

Hi,

since I upgraded my TP2 ROM with the WinMo6.5 from HTC I encountered two issues which really make me regret this from time to time:

On incoming calls very often the caller name is not displayed even if the phone number is known in my address book. Also in call history i just see numbers, not names. This worked perfectly in 6.0.

When I receive a call, i press "take call" but the phone simply wont take it. Instead it silences the ringtone but there is no chance I take the call.

I searched the forum but couldn't find anything that would help. There was some registry entry about setting the size of phone numbers which should fix problem one, but the issue here is, that German phone numbers don't have any fixed size, so the suggested fix is not working. Also I'd wonder why I have to set something up when just the same thing worked perfectly in 6.0. As for the more annoying "can't take call" thingy, i am absolutely clueless. Has anyone of you encountered these issues before and if so, were you able to fix them?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
I can't find the link readily but I thought I remember reading that adding (or removing) the "+" in front of phone numbers in your contacts helped the first issue.

Hi, All

Just bought a case for my Nexus one. The Case contains a Magnet to close the flap on the case.

I was just wondering can a Magnet harm a Nexus one!!?

Thanks

JAW$
[Nexus One General] lbcoder:
Shouldn't you be asking this in the N1 forum?

Magnet cases are pretty common, but not necessarily perfectly safe. If your phone has a magnetic compass in it, you will definitely INTERFERE with it, you could even damage it if the field is strong enough.

I believe that N1 does have a magnetic compass.

If you don't care about the magnetic compass, you can go ahead and expose it to strong magnetic fields -- there's nothing else that could potentially be harmed by one.
[Nexus One General] JAW$:
Thanks for your response

I thought I was in the N1 Forum
[Nexus One General] Njord0:
This is the G1 forum
[Nexus One General] bunu:
Wrong place but you know that.

Asking if a magnet can hurt any electronic device is like saying will putting a bomb in a public place that is crowded will kill anything.
[Nexus One General] lbcoder:
Not correct.

Magnets typically will NOT affect/harm electronics unless the magnetic field is ***EXTREMELY*** strong -- so as to disrupt the flow of electrons.

Alternatively, if the electronics have some magnetic field sensitive apparatus, like a MAGNETIC DISK or a MAGNETIC COMPASS.

Phones do NOT HAVE magnetic disks.

The only magnetic field sensitive apparatus on these phones is the MAGNETIC COMPASS.

The only way to affect any component of the phone ASIDE from the compass is with an ****EXTREMELY**** strong magnetic field.... I.e. MRI strong.
[Nexus One General] r4d14n7:
Doesn't flash memory count as magnetic field sensitive?

My blackberry came with a magnetic case and although it didn't have a compass, the phone never had any side effects after years of use.

If your phone is under warranty or you have insurance, I'd say go for it. You're probably safe.
[Nexus One General] Gary13579:
Moved to Nexus One forums.

And to repeat what has been said before (by those that are correct, I mean :P), the magnet would have to be INCREDIBLY strong in order to damage the phone. It will interfere with the compass, but should not cause any serious harm.

[HD2 General] zefiltrin:
I'm suffering from the same thing...

I've tried Custom ROMs with WM6.5, WM6.5.X and Stock ROMs, but every now and then the phone just freezes.

First I thougt it was MaxManilla, then Cookie's Home Tab, but unistalled both and it keeps freezing.

Sometimes I have nothing open and it hangs.

I also had this problem with my Kaiser, wich was minored with the launch of a new HardSPL recently.

Anyway, don't know exactly if it is HTC Sense or the WM itself, but I would love to discover the reason and a solution for those random freezes.
[HD2 General] blpowder:
ok, glad to see i'm not the only one.2 days ago i tried to disabled sense and it stopped freezing.i tried spb and it worked great with it.but the fact is that i definitely prefer sense...if you're saying it's not a new problem, i gess a SAV won't change anything?:(
[HD2 General] gianton:
i think it's a bad flash or junk left in the device. never had any freezes/hangs with the following flashing procedure:

1. mtty task 29

2. flash preferred radio

3. flash preffered rom

4. hard reset just after flashing ends

5. soft reset when in manila screen

this is with hspl 1.42 installed.

btw this thread should b moved in the general forum.
[HD2 General] zefiltrin:
Is the MTTY Task 29 really necessary?

I've been flashing for years now and heard of flashing Stock ROMs before Custom one, hard reset after flash, hard reset BEFORE flash, but never heard this was indeed necessary...

And I don't think it's only bad flash since it happens with a wide number of ROMs in my case, including Stock ones.

I think it's something related to HTC Sense...
[HD2 General] gianton:
i think it will solve many probs similar to this one you have. it won't hurt trying it.
[HD2 General] blpowder:
Sorry if the post is in the wrong section,

I don't think its a bad flash.'cause it started freezing out of the box.

I didn't even installed anything...that is why i was wondering if it was only a problem with my device or a comon problem.

By the way, what's the meaning of mtty29 and how can i do it?maybe i'll give it a try, if it can help
[HD2 General] zefiltrin:
That's the problem: won't it hurt it?

I have seen many people brick theirs Kaiser's with MTTY and related tasks.

I've also read the Task 29 sticky and didn't undestand it very well... After doing this task 29 thing, the device will have completely blank ROM memory?

Isn't the flash Stock > hard reset > flash Custom > hard reset enought to erase everything?

If it's not, I must say, the remaning bits are pretty persistant bits of memory to survive all this, hehehe.
[HD2 General] gianton:
if you had freezes out of the box, then it might be a defective hardware. you should send it to htc for a service.
[HD2 General] blpowder:

how many times does it take for a sav
[HD2 General] Arctic Matt:
SD card?

I used the stock 2gb card that came with the unit for a couple of weeks with constant freezes needing resets even on custom roms. Then I stuck my class 6 8GB from my Hero in the HD2 and it now runs without a hitch 95% of the time. Check the SD card, it could be the problem.
[HD2 General] elburna:
Yep i can second that. Heard it several times in different forums, that this can make the phone get stuck...
[HD2 General] gianton:
generally flashing a stock rom performs a task 28 moreorless the same as a hard reset. whereas task 29 formats and completely removes all junk from the rom memory.

there is an easier way to run task 29 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644781
