I'm sorry, I know you've heard this a million, billion times or more now on here - I can see that with how much response you get for each new ROM and every problem that people reach gets lost in the midst. So I'm apologising for what is probably a repeat of what you see every day on here.

I'm having trouble installing apps2sd, to put it simply. I can see that this comes bundled with most ROMs, and have tried multiple times to see it working to no avail. I have successfully installed modaco recovery and have used it a few times to install successfully a few of the roms on here, mostly Villain and BeHero. This is how I do it:

Start in recovery mode

set up fat32, ext3 and swap partitions on SD card

reboot to recovery and full wipe

install rom

From what I understand, the apps2sd app in the rom on installation should recognise the ext3 drive and "automagically" install it, but this isn't showing on my system. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance to all those who can help - I am a web developer and normally quite savvy - just a little stuck and really don't get time in the day to sort these things out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
1. don't use swap, it causes trouble sometimes and is not needed.

2. suggestion: don't use ext2, use ext3. this is heavily discussed, there is no definite answer, and as long as you don't use ext4 it won't cause any immediate trouble, but might stress your sdcard more.

3. what makes you think that apps2sd is not working? what do you expect to see?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piercy0812:
also, if your not formatting with amon-ra's recovery i suggest doing it with that. it makes a simple life of it.

Hello All....

I just recently purchased the HTC HD2 and coming from an Iphone, they keyboard on here to type seems to be rather difficult. Is anyone else having problems with this at all? It seems it takes me twice as long to write a message or anything on here vs. iPhone. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or does it just take a good amount of time to get use to?

Any help, would be much appreciated!!

Thanks..

Marc
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it does seem different to any keyboard i've used, and a lot of that i think is down to the screen sensitivity.

I use swype, which helps some, but even then it is almost unuseable until i apply the bsbtweak for reduced screen sensitivity.
[HD2 General] gerelee:
for me, it helps to have the audible and vibrate options checked. it makes it a little bit easier to tell when you've actally touched a key. you could also try the phone keypad option for texting and use xt9....it works surprisingly well for text messages though it can be a bear to use when it doesn't recognize a word.
[HD2 General] shu8i:
yap try swype or the new slideit 4.1. with them i type almost faster than with a hardware keyboard - true story.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yea I agree.now that I'm two months into using swype itsa fair bit faster than keying.
[HD2 General] SamStone:
I agree with you Marcf, the HD2 keyboard isn't near as easy to use as the iPhone, it's the only feature of the HD2 that I still have a problem with. I use the Skype keyboard which is a little better but it still doesn't work near as well as an iPhone or even my old Omnia. My only hope is that some third party developer will come out with something better one of these days.
[HD2 General] cd78:
The keyboard is a pain.

I found disabling the vibrate on key press to help, it speeded up my typing anyway.

Swype is good but im not sure if im quicker using it tbh.
[HD2 General] ranywhere:
hi there, have you heared a very slight vibration while booting up your HD2 (not the normal starting up vibration)? I can hear this small sound between pressing the power botton and the mian screen showing up with the normal vibration if I keep the phone very close to my ear (listen carefully)...:confused:
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Yep, there are two vibrations, a very short one just after you press the power button then the longer one just as screen comes on. You can feel and hear both. I guessed it was a nornmal operation of the phone.
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
same case here. Cant see it being a problem
[HD2 General] jhonnyD2:
i have x1i and it has a big vib. when it boot ... but sometimes i don't feel it -or it's not done- i think it's not big problem

Ive used 3 different HTC HD's now, and they all do this.

thanks so much for ur replies!!! i'm a fan of smart phones/ppc, that makes me a little bit picky these kind of things...
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Hi, I'm sorry if this has already been brought up by someone.

Every now and then I hear an unknown notification for something. I can't find what application is doing this and it's obviously something you can't set at the normal sound settings menu (all the tones I've selected for receiving SMS, ActiveSync, WiFi networks or any other app are different). It must be some kind of system notification, but I can't find out what is causing it, because it happens when I'm not even touching the phone.

(BTW, I have the LED notification installed, and it doesn't light up when this tone sounds).
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
does it sound a little bit like a bird tweeting? the twitter tab makes that sound when it auto updates.
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Thanks for your quick reply!

Yeah, I've thought about that, because I thought it was Twitter in the first place, but I've checked and there were no new tweets when I checked after hearing the sound.

(But thanks a lot, it definitely is the Twitter notification sound, I just checked!). Now when does it sound... that's the question :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
It makes it even if there are no new tweets, it's just to tell you it has checked.
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Well, ok then. But then it's not very consistent, because it should check every 5 minutes and I don't get notifications every 5 minutes ;)

PLz do you know How to change keyboard hardeware layout from QWERTY to AZERTY,i'm using ?:eek:

i'm using Myn’s Warm Donut,every thing work fine for me !!:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
I think this is actually hardcoded into the kernel. I've had some looks at the kernel source code (which DZO maintains) as I want to add support for scandinavian keyboard. Shouldn't be that hard to modify once you manage to set up an enviroment that allows you to compile the kernel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Could you take a photo of your azerty keyboard (detailed enough to also see the Fn alternative for each button) and if time allows I may have a go at it.

I've successfully managed to remap the kernel for my scandinavian keyboard (except for the special nordic characters).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Hepe83:
How did you remapped it?

Henri från Finland
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
By changing the kernel source.

Edit: /arch/arm/mach-msm/board-kaiser-keypad.c

Then compile your own kernel. I'll send my changes to DZO once they are complete. Right now I have changed the "normal" layout but the correct way would be to add a new setting and make it selectable so it's needs to cleaning up. I also haven't managed to add ÅÄÖ (and the norwegian counterparts) yet. But everything else is mapped correctly so I no longer have to guess where the "slash" is and so on.

Actually my current mappings are posted in the kernel thread in the Vogue forums as I've asked for help for the remaining 5 buttons.

EDIT: Added my experimental kernel as an attachment. Unzip and place in x:\andboot\ (make a backup of your original kernel just in case)

This kernel should be the same as DZO's 29-03-10 kernel except it is partially remapped for nordic hardware keyboard and also have the BT changes that broke bluetooth on Eclair reverted.

[HD2 General] Niglet:
So i just got an HD2 not long ago, and i realized a problem about the file manager is that i can't highlight files when the total files in the directory is more than the screen could handle i.e needs to scroll down to see the rest of them. It would just scroll down/up if i hold my thumb and drag it. But it does seem to work when the total files in the directory can fit into a screen i.e doesn't need scrolling. Anybody know how to fix this?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
menu - select files - several.

Not ideal, but thats how it works.

I use resco, which has the ability where you drag finger down the icons instead of the filenames and it multi-selects, and even scrolls when you get to the bottom of the screen.

If there is a reason, how do you do it?

If it ain't broke, dont fix it.

Seriously, you shouldn't need to update the PRI. Unleas your having network issues.

I'd like to know this as well as I've searched throughout the forums and haven't found any real answer for this. I'm at the same PRI version 1.68_003 & I'm running DC v2.0r2 and when I update the PRI it says that it is updating and applying but it doesn't update to a newer PRI. Just curious if it would work by going back to 1.5 updating and then flashing back to this rom. Or is there no real reason to do it... Thanks in advance for any support/advice.

[Hero CDMA General] ko0pa11:
no the 1.68 is a PRI....I have the same one, but from my understanding is that the need for a PRI update pertains to the people without sprint showing up on the lockscreen and on the task bar pull down on the upper left...you may have fewer bars than the guy at starbucks because your prl is out of date, the prl has updated twice since i had last updated mine so that may help your connection problem

hmm well maybe its just your connection that your receiving with the phone...seems like the only real problem is google voice and that is all based off of internet connection, im assuming regular calls and text are fine with the sprint network?

and someone in this thread already tried to update his PRI with the same 1.68

we got and it didn't update...so i don't know where you could go from here if this is the case

do you have sprint on your lockscreen and taskbar...i have the same PRI and everything works fine for me, except the gsm auto thing

No one has said HOW to update the PRI... NOT the PRL.

I need to update the PRI so I can use internet sharing on the new 2.1 ROMS. I'm at the 1.70_003 and that is the one that gets Error 67 when trying to connect. The newer ones don't but nowhere can I find where anyone has stated how to get the PRI updated to the newer ones.

Wireless tethering eats my battery like candy. The wired tethering that won't work with the 1.70 and earlier PRI's would work great.
[Hero CDMA General] seashell11:
Is there any way to update the PRI, since usb tethering does not work with older PRI versions?
[Hero CDMA General] tkascak:
I'd also like to know if there is a way to update the PRI to one newer than 1.70_003 as I'd like to use mobile network sharing as well. I've read page after page about PRL and how to revert the PRI back to the factory sprint one. Is there not a way to update and is it somehow tied to the phone or account?
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
use search. i made a whole thread discussing how to change your PRI

also freshs new rom automatically installs the newest and best PRI for sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] getut:
Avalaunch... in all due respect, if you are talking about this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653735

Then I had already found it. I took the wording in this thread to be a little vague... especially line number 8. "8. After the last reboot all of your info including your PRI will be back to normal." I took that to mean that the PRI would be set back to one of the 3 listed at the top without the problem of being able to use Sprint TV and similar apps. Not specifically that it would update you to the newest version. The thing is that I was and am ALREADY at 1.70_003 and from what I understand I need to be ABOVE 1.68 or 1.70 to be able to use wired internet sharing.

So.. with that said, I gave it a try anyway after your "use search" scolding. It did not update me. I am still at 1.70_003 and would very much like to get to 2.10 for use with Damagecontrol 2.5.

I am trying fresh 2.0 now to see if it upgrades it.
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
Fresh Rom will update you to 2.10_003. But that does not enable wired tether. Paying Sprint for wired tether enables wired tether. :-P

If you are having signal issues then you need to upgrade what controls the radio..... the radio. :)
[Hero CDMA General] getut:
Ah.. thanks for clarifying that Flipz. I had read in a post buried somewhere deep inside one of Damageless's threads that the PRI update was the key to getting that to work. I guess the poster was wrong.

BUT... it does seem like the lockout of for that service is on the phone side... not the carrier side. They shouldn't lock me out of anything on my own device and its fair game for me to bypass any crippling of my own device. I'll keep searching for a workaround or keep using wifi tethering but just plug it to the laptop for power.
[Hero CDMA General] jaybob413:
FWIW, I have actually gone back to the 2.11_002 PRI, just to be able to use MNS. I have been in this mode for several days, and have run several different 2.1 ROMS with this PRI. Sprint TV and Sprint Navigation have been working (although I can't say that I actually use them much). Sprint Nascar and Football do not work (but I usually removed them anyways).

What I did to get this to work was to make a nandroid backup of my current setup, then wiped and flashed a ROM (DamageControlv1.1beta5 in my case) that changes the phone to the 2.11_002 PRI (had to boot twice before it showed up in settings > About phone > Software information). After this I just did a reboot into recovery, performed a wipe (data/dalvik/ext), then did a nandroid restore of my original setup.

This has been working well for me for a week or so, YMMV.

First of all, I'll go ahead and apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.

I purchased a usa tmobile hd2 last week. I was told it could support THAI language. (purchased the phone for my gf)

But, once we took it home - it was not an option. Figuring this was one of the latest phones.. I haven't returned it yet!

however, I have no clue on how to start. I've been reading tutorials but so far.. nothing makes sense.

So my question:

Is there a simple way of adding THAI to this phone?
[HD2 General] qcefer:
?

what do you want your phone to do? do you want all the language on your phone to read thai or you want to be able to just read your language in certain programs like e-mails. also do you want to be able to input in thai???

please be more specific:o
[HD2 General] runyun:
^ korean flag.. I'm also korean :p

anyhow.. figured it out. (somewhat)

found a .cab file that allowed "thai" to be an option under language/region settings.

so, my gf can now read emails from her friends.

Now, I installed a thai keyboard.. but when you send texts or emails, they show up as "?" marks.

Ideally, I think my gf would prefer the entire phone to be in thai
[HD2 General] qcefer:
whole phone

there are couple threads on the windows app and developments thread that allows your gf to change every font on her phone to thai. there is also a reg edit you can do to get other languages on your phone. do a quick search. as far as the ? i believe the receiving party's phone has to support other languages. pm me if you need farther assistance. good luck

just type in language support in the search engine

Dear all,

Thanks for all the useful tips over the past few years, I've finally done something worth giving back to the community.

I noticed the HD2 and diamond skins but there wasn't a skin available the correct resolution for my QVGA Touch2... So I decided to make one using the existing skins as examples. The process was pretty straightforward and took me about an hour playing around to get it right.

I know that there will be some issues so let me tell you what I already know before you come back to me to tell me.

Anti-aliasing is a bit rough around the edges, it looks best on white backgrounds. At any zoom level other than 100% it does not go transparent and you have a white edge (which looks a bit ugly). According to other similar threads this is due to a bug with MM not the skin itself.

Also if you switch the skin into landscape it goes wrong. I am hoping that somebody may have some ideas as to how to get MM to rotate the skin, or be able to set a landscape skin up. I could not find any examples of this.

Also I don't think the start button works, although the button is mapped out.

Enjoy, let me know if you have any ideas about rotating it. I don't have much time to adjust but thought other people may well want the same as I did, so here you are. Feel free to improve on it.
