Nope, just a little chicken$hit. If there was a way to go back I would.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jcase:
I have a way back to 1.5 if needed, but it doesnt replace the bootloader.

Where can I get different boot animations? I'm not sure if i like the Nexus one boot animation much.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jadesdan:
Thank you! Works for me!

Question-

Can something like this be done for the Lockscreen?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] DarthMowzy:
The original bootanimation.zip is under /system/media. You dont really need to back it up if you are doing this the non-root way. Just delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip to revert to the original boot animation.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jcase:
Nope. Need r/w access to /system for that. Need root.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mattoxic:
here's a great site with a ton of boot animations for this way

I'm using the nexus one now and it works great.

Thanks for the link.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Fryguy88:
Got this far and then it tells me "error: device not found". Where did I go wrong? :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] iloveandroid:
When i put in the code adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/ (on my mac) it says -bash: command not found and case im interested in the 1.5 thing
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] edgeupgx:
If you are talking about device not found in the command prompt it sounds like you need to enable debugging on the phone. Menu >> settings >> applications >> development >> Check USB debugging
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ahjee:
not sure what im doing wrong, maybe not using commands right or something, or if its cause im on windows but im having problems, my adb was working yesturday, i rooted and installed the backup and custom rom to my girls eris, i jumped the gun with mine and have the leak..any way im not able to do this

i just get error device not found.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Patricosuave:
Yeah, make sure debugging is active and that your phone has been booted into androidOS. I know it gave me that error when I tried to push the file while I was in Recovery.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ahjee:
k, well my debugging is on i made, sure. my phone is up and running as normal, im not sure if thats what you mean by booted in android OS.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ahjee:
does adb recognize more then one phone? yesturday i was rooting my girls eris and flashing a backup and rom, could it be it dosent recognize mine because of that?

i tried to update my driver but its not finding any software to do so apparently
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Fryguy88:
Doooohh!!! USB debugging. Forgot about that. Still learning. Thanks for the quick reply it worked like a charm.:D

This is what I get in the CMD window when I try putting the animation onto my Eris, i've also tried 2 different animations in case one was bad but same result = on reboot I am still getting the default verizon/peeking android boot animation...can someone help me? I also tried "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip" as well
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Chevelle1768:
I have the same issue. I don't know why it wont take.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] qwiktune:
I believe I found the answer....if you are on 1.5 like me, it doesnt work for 1.5 only...well pretty much anything else....just another factor to push me to make the leap into 2.1
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] theboo7:

problem is that after the skateboarding droids, it's just a black screen until it gets to the unlock screen. I'm using a nexus one boot animation, and i cant remember where i got it from, so i'm assuming it's just not formatted for the eris and i grabbed the wrong one lol.

yep i got it too, i had one that was vertical for some reason... I'm thinking it was for the moto droid.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zwade01:
I'm trying to create my own and I have about 52 .png images saved in a folder. I added them to a zip file (I downloaded another animation and replaced the images with mine). I can't seem to get it to work that way. Any tips? Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ALesserMan:
I'm having the same problem as zwade01. I took another boot animation and basically changed the colors of the png files and when I go to zip them and push them to my Eris I just get the black screen. I know I am pushing the zip file to the right place cause I can use the original and it works. I think it is how I'm zipping the folder. I can unzip the original and rezip it and it also won't work. I am doing this on a mac with snow leopard if anyone can help.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Magnum72:
Make sure when you zip them you use "store" as compression and make sure you zip the files that are inside the folder instead of the main folder (so you don't get "bootanimation/bootanimation/desc.txt etc..." when unzipped). Winrar seems to do the job pretty good to zip them.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ALesserMan:
Thanks man. I guess it was just that I was zipping them already in a folder and not all the separate parts. And I just use terminal cause I'm on a mac.

p.s. for any mac users, to zip in storage only, use terminal and type

'zip -r0 nameyouwant.zip fileyouwantzip'

if you need any info about zip, just type 'zip -h'

Can anyone pull the Skype APK from Market, so that us non-VZW customers can try it out and see if it works? I hate that it is exclusive. And im not sure if its considered "warez" since it's a free app, but subject to carrier exclusivity. Can anyone shed light on that latter part?

F.Y.I. verizon's integration into skype program wil not let you use skype for united states calling so if you wanted to cut out some of your minutes you cant. Try using fring or nimbuzz which integrate skype into them. Personally I use fring calls are clear.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Android22:
There is a thread about this in the Themes / app section of the Eris board.... Skype will currently ONLY run on ERIS 1.5.... you CANNOT currently run the apk on a G1, even if its rooted... it will say "skype can only be used on Verizon Wireless Phones"

We are all very happy for you that you can finally get the HD2 !

However, please keep in mind that T-Mobile is a very large telco worldwide, and there are many users here who have a different T-Mobile HD2 than you have in the US.

There has already been some confusion in this forum regarding which phone who is talking about. So:

When talking about the T-Mobile

US

HD2 please do not forget to state the

US

part. If that is too much typing for you, a common short for T-Mobile US is TMOUS.

Hi All,

I'm trying to map network drive using the Resco Explorer, however Resco does not see the SAMBA (3.2.5) shares :(

There is nothing in sambas log suggesting the HD2 is trying to connect.

I had no problems with wm6.1 but on my 6.5.x it doesn't work.

I was searching the forum but couldn't find the answer. Anyone has an idea? Maybe someone managed to solve this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bramgg:
maybe this?

instead of COMPUTER\DISK, try this: \\COMPUTER\SharedDocs (=name of the shared folder on my pc)

this works with me, good luck!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] theciscokid:
Yep, I did exactly this the other day.

Resco doesn't see samba shares directly (like a windows PC would see them in my network places or whatever), so you have to tell Resco the location.

I have an ubuntu server called "ubuntu", and my shares are "music", "photos" and so on. To get resco to see the shares I typed:

\\ubuntu\music

\\ubuntu\photos

etc...

Note, it wont work based on IP addresses (that was what originally caused my problem).

To find out your PC name (if you don't know it) on a windows machine, hold the windows key, hit pause break, and then click on computer name (this is for XP).

Cheers.

blog post about this very subject
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dameon12:
I got it too sometimes. I dont know the reason tho.

But hey it is so easy to set it up manually.

It is longer but will work anyways. Try the method the guy 2 posts above me posted with \\COMPUTERNAME\SHAREDFOLDER

WIll work if you are in the same network.

Ah and make sure not to connect via mobile network but with WiFi as then you are not in the same net.

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pepesz:
Thanks all of you!

It works:) at least partially...

Works for shares without password, doesn't work for password protected shares.When i put \\computer\myshare and then press ok then I'm asked for user name and password. As soon as I fill them in the application freezes (maybe it tries to connect?) I gave it 5 minutes and then I had to reset HD2 :(

Strange problem :(

I reinstalled resco but no improvements.

Thanks again :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dameon12:
Yeah i noticed that one too.

Do not use pass protection on shares.

It must be a bug in the Resco Explorer.

Before i thought i made a fault but i never tried it out again as i assume a freeze as not too good for the device LOL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pepesz:
I'm not sure where the problem is. I tried the same on P3600 (trinity) with wm6.5. It does not freeze, but is re-asking for credentials, so I guess there are two problems:

1) resco on hd2 freezes (probably when the resco cannot connect - bug)

2) authentication problem?

Probably I'll skip the password protection until someone will find the solution...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kilrah:
Works fine here. It sees the shares on my XP machine, but not on the 2 Win7 ones so I have to enter them manually for those. All 3 have password protection.

On one of the W7 machines it "freezes" for about 10 seconds the first time I access the share after a soft reset, for the others it comes instantly. But that particular volume is huge (a 80% full 1.5TB drive) so it might have to do with it if it lists the contents, the others only have like 30GB on them.

You might want to try menu->settings, if you have data active as well as wifi then uncheck autodetection, and delete the network entry (or entries) that aren't your local wifi.

It can happen that it finds nothing or hangs if it tries searching the cell provider's network (that can have tons of hosts) instead of your local one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pepesz:
Yes - no problem for windows, I'm struggling with SAMBA (linux) shares.

Fixed freezing/credential issues when mapping drives on my HD2

Hi guys,

I had the same problem of my HTC HD2 freezing in the Network Log On dialogue when trying to map a drive, and also the issue where I was repeatedly asked for credentials which would never save. I managed to solve this issue, though in my case the problem was actually due to the network share settings on my NAS device (which is a QNAP TS-109).

What I did to remedy my problem was:

Go to the Administration page through the web-based interface for my TS-109.

Go to the Access Right Management menu.

Go to the Share Folders section.

Click on the Access Control icon for the folder I wanted to map.

Under the Guest Access Right drop-down menu I changed Deny Access to Read Only.

After that I was able to log in with my admin username and password, and to save the mapped drive on my HTC HD2 (I mapped drives successfully using both Resco File Explorer 2010 and HTC Network Plugin 1.0).

Hopefully this will work for anyone else experiencing this problem with a QNAP NAS, or if not then hopefully following similar steps on your NAS will yield favourable results.

Kate.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pagoda123:
I am using HD2 with a Qnap NAS . Initially , got problem mapping drive as described by previous post . I did not do any changes on NAS . But , in the resco password page , i uncheck permanent login . Seems did the trick . Able to mapped folder on the NAS , even Hidden folders also . Hope this helps .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] casci:
I've post this in Resco Explorer Forum, just yesterday:

Re: File Explorer hangs when mapping Network Drive on WM 6.5

First, excuse me for my bad english (I'm italian).

I think to be solved the bug in this mode (I've a Netgear STORA NAS):

- select "Work" instead of "Internet settings" in wi-fi network adapter

- select "Work" instead of "Internet settings" in your wi-fi connection

Now, I can succesfully map all my shared resources and add them in "My Network", but I can't use wi-fi to connect in Internet.

So I've revert both the above settings to "Internet settings" ad all it's ok, browsing in Internet and accessing to my network folder on NAS.

I think that the bug is present only when we try to map a network folder the first time.

I hope to be useful to solve our problem.

Bye
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m_tello77:
Although last post is long time ago, and mine is too recent. yet I hope it would be useful to somebody, and be able to repay the great advantages I myself got from XDA forum.

Hardware:PC with Win7 Home Prem, HTC HD2 with RescoExplorer v.8, Wifi Connection

first, as most of the posts, I can see PC while mapping in RescoExplorer.

yet when expanding the +, I had to enter username and password, then I get an error.

well, what I did is that I shared a folder with everyone full access on my PC.

then on resco mapping I typed the full path, i.e. \\computername\sharedfolder

then, I got it...

NOTE: when exiting Resco, and accessing the mapped folder, I still had to enter my windows username and password to access my PC shared folder that has no password...

Thus, I think when sharing a folder with a password, Resco goes nuts. for two passwords must be applied...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogwilson:
Is it possible we might be able to receive a Skype APK from any of the VZW android phones ? seems like the Droid Eris might be most compatible seeing as how it's more in line with first/2nd gen devices. Is this possible? Would distributing the APK be illegal/warez due to the exclusive contract between Skype and Verizon (even though the app itself is free?)

Even if we can't use voice features, I'd love to get this app back on my phone. I rely heavily on Skype for communicating with several colleagues and friends, and a mobile offering which provides a sensible single and group chat functionality is in dire need. I know the APK of the old version if floating out there, but loading thousands of lines of chat history is a pain on that version (it literally locks my phone up from doing anything else).

Anyway, any of this possible at all?
[HD2 General] pitaXDA:
Hello everybody!

I been always having difficulties pairing HTC devices with my AUDI A6 (2005) hand-free using bluetooth (HTC Diamond, HD, and now HD2). The phones will pair but neither contacts or recent calls would appear in my car's display (MMI)

I used to solve the problem using a software extension for the bluetooth stack called JETWARE MOBILE, but HD2 uses WIDCOMM's bluetooth stack instead of Microsoft's one, and JETWARE software won't support it.

I've found a thread about pairing with a volvo hands-free where have been found a solution (changing WIDCOMM registry key "SupportedFeatures" and others)

Anyway it appears to be a volvo's specific solution so it doesn't work for my AUDI (I still can't get any contacts, recent calls, etc. transfered to my car using those)

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] dameon12:
Sounds like Audi does not support the handsfree profile HD2 uses. What about using sap (sim access)?

The best way would be to ask your Audi Partner about a solution.

I bet they have an own SAP bluetooth device as i read that Audi uses Handsfree on default and SAP as an option for more money.

It is always a matter of the cars software and not of the HD or HD2.

I own the Mercedes CLC 2008 and i need to buy an extra utility (SAP bluetooth dongle SLR design) for more than 300 €.

Didnt do it till today but i got a new job and def. will buy it when i get the first money.

With SAP it will definately work - also confiremd by several forums i found via google.

BTW: The brother of my wife has a new Volvo V50 and he cant pair his Nokia phone with the cars system but my old HD as my new HD2 too can pair without any problem. I can shuffle through my contacts where he got the same issue as u - but with his nokia phone.
[HD2 General] rsacipher:
I'm not sure if you've updated the MMI software in your Audi. I had a older software version in my 05 A6 there are 2 disks that will get you to the latest version. I have flawless phone access now. It's like a ROM upgrade for the car.

You can read more about it at www.audiworld.com and check the C6 forum.
[HD2 General] pitaXDA:
I don't really think I've got any MMI updates. I don't even know what version I've got...

I'll ask my dealer to find out.

Thanks
[HD2 General] rsacipher:
I doubt your dealer will fix it for you unless you are still in warranty and you are having an issue with it.

My dealer didn't want to touch it because like one of these phones if you mess up the upgrade you can brick it.

If you want to take a picture of the SW version and post it or send it to me I can tell you what you have.

Are you in the US?
[HD2 General] rsacipher:
I forgot to mention if you fry the MMI it is about $2,000 to fix. I was able to get the lastest software installed in about 2 hours.
[HD2 General] pitaXDA:
I'm from Spain, little far away from US...

When I took my car to its last service (55.000 miles) they told me they were supposed to apply a software update (I was in a hurry so I told them to came back later... 8 months ago...).

May be that update will also apply to the MMI?

Anyway I'll take the picture and show you the SW version.

Thanks
[HD2 General] rsacipher:
It's hard to say what they wanted to update, it could have been the ECU or MMI. I found that since I had an early model 05 my software was really out of date. Once I updated it the phonebook and connection worked so much better.
[HD2 General] khughes:
Audi usually supply the latest firmware as part of the navigation disk updates (they auto update when you first put them in).. this is the case for the older RNS-E's and probably the case for MMI too..
[HD2 General] pitaXDA:
Hello again

Here I'm posting the pictures of my MMI. It's my first time uploading images so I hope it works.

[HD2 General] pitaXDA:
May be... but I don't have navigation in my MMI. I actually have the MMI Plus but the navigation module was too much for the value (Tomtom gives me the same except MMI integration for less than 1/10 of the price)

Thanks anyway

apologies to OP, this is slightly off topic...

Hi Dameon12,

I think this works only with the V3 SAP Mercedes module, and this works only with the newer MB audio units.
