Hey Guys,

Just got my new Desire, an excellent phone - GEtting it all sorted out but I have one issue with it, It has no RTL languages (specifically arabic) support. This is an annoyance, and I understand you need to root the phone or something? So my question is how do I get arabic support for it.

Second of all, I want to save battery time, but a few things - First of all I cant access that fancy battery meter I've been hearing about, and some Apps like Gmail, how can I make it not autoupdate? Friends stream I've sorted that out.

Thanks

Nel

Does ANYBODY have a solid answer for backing up your custom scenes on NON-ROOTED hTC Android phones ? App or file location ? I've searched this and googled through quite a few other forums. I'm sure this info would be appreciated by masses of scene tweakers like Myself. :D

ther is somthing

im new to android and loving it. i gues i made a good choice with the evo i just got........ any ways have you guys heard of "titaniumbackup" is in the market for rooted phones. is free but is better to donate ($3.99) and get faster backups and more stuff. it backs up all data and apps.(mms,calls,app setting ect) and no ROM changes are made just restart you phone after backup restore and all data is just like you had it.

cant post link cus im new but hit me up and ill be more than happy to send it

PS: im no expert but im willing to help in what i can. websites like this one have helped me alot so im willing to give back
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ECLIPS3:
its not possible to backup anything but apps without root from the /system and /data directories on your phone.

only thing you might be able to change is boot animation and splash image. and i think a few other misc files, but nothing to do with settings, scenes, alarms, txt messages, etc as those all require root.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] maluminse:

This should be a general thread. I am rooted and would also likely to know how to backup scenes.

After flashing a rom the only 'issue' I have is reorganizing five screens. What a pain to have drag each app/widget.

While were on backup, I use appbrain to save what apps I have installed. Problem is when i say install all it goes to each one, stops and waits for permissions instead of auto installing.

Does titanium auto install? Does titanium save scenes?? Plus?

The new Garmin-Asus M10 using Windows windows mobile 6.5.3 has an interesting u.i. wanna know if it can be ported to the HD2

video of the u.i. http://youtube.com/watch?v=jOUxGxjqqIA&hl=en&gl=US&client=mv-google http://youtube.com/watch?v=jOUxGxjqqIA&hl=en&gl=US&client=mv-google

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Qazz~:
did u even watch the video? -.- or any others concerning the M10. i am not talking bout the garmin navigation software. I'm talking bout the user interface, e.g. in htc phones there's htc sense/tf3d. on the m10 its obviously a different u.i. and hence my 1st post

Edit: just realised.there's an [op] beside my name, any1 can enlighten me on what it means

Hi mate, [OP] I would imagine is [Original Post/er]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phenomenon:
lol I swear its like some people read some words, but not the whole sentences lol.

If I'm right yeah at one point Garmin will come out with another update for their program and have it running the same way that they have it running in their NuviFone. I say "at one point" because I don't think they are active in their mobile OS department for windows mobile. The NuviFone will be running on Android OS so AGAIN this will most likely come out for the Android OS before the WM (if at all).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cccy:
I think its possible as I have ported Sense UI to the Garmin Asus M10. Most of the time ports are vice-versa so I think it should work, as long as someone tracts it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Interesting..

See what you mean, not my cup 'o' tea tho.

Might see some useful apps come from it,not the navigation software but the possibility to have something similar to carousel view.
[Touch2 General] WindCZ:
health, I will be breaking down here because I do not know english: D

My question is if it would somehow go to the Windows Mobile 7 on Touch 2.

if there is somewhere I'm sorry I'm a beginner: D
[Touch2 General] Uppy:
If you're asking if the touch 2 will be able to run windows phone 7 OS then almost certainly not, sorry :(

The real question is, would you want to? apart from being nice to look at, WP7 is very limited.
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
Not almost certanly, its 100 000 % sure :p
[Touch2 General] Uppy:
I know, I was being a little too kind.

Like I said, for me, the negatives outweigh the positives when it comes to wp7, only the new ui is improved. and the xbox live integration.
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
Keep in mind guys that you can not run any existing application on WM7 (change of operating system)....requires new development of all software.....

Not sure if I want WM7.....untill enough freeware is available.....:p
[Touch2 General] Addicted2xda:
WM7 is not out as of now, so you won't find ANY device with WM7 AFAIK.

As far as running WM7 on Touch2 ... well unless it is released - who can say? I have seen some great things in this forum - which I never thought was possible.

So, may be you should wait in anticipation.. it just might :).
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
Maybe you are right and we judge too early......but based on what Microsoft has announced sofar it is not very encouraging. And the many software operating developments by the various phone manufacturers shows the innovation weakness of microsoft.

Also the XDA community has shown that they can turn microsoft software into something workable.....and there is no reason why this can not be done with WM7.....
[Touch2 General] Addicted2xda:
Yeah! M$ is only to make Dollars :D. Thats why I trust xda more than M$ or even HTC :).

If it was to M$, I would have never been able to run WM 6.5 on my Vox :mad:.

So, let us keep our fingers crossed :).
[Touch2 General] DannyBiker:
But when it comes to port another OS to the Touch2, won't be Windows Mobile 7 easier than Android ?
[Desire General] sh500:
As per subject, anyone know how to change the ordering? Or have i missed something obvious??
[Desire General] irkan:
I have seen it on some video, ... go to the leap view, .... and click and hold one of the screens, .. and then move it
[Desire General] sh500:
That's what I thought (and remember seeing it done somewhere) but it doesn't seem to work.
[Desire General] irkan:
hmm Lol .. i could swear i saw it in some vid .....
[Desire General] sh500:
You've got your Desire yeah?
[Desire General] irkan:
Naaah man I wish Lol ... but i swear i saw it in some vid xP am also curious now amma fetch the net xD
[Desire General] dickson123:
Just swap the widgets around, it achieves the same thing.
[Desire General] irkan:
yeah true, .. but its so annoying XP ... i saw it in some vid, i wannaaa doooo iiiitttttt xP

i dont have the desire yet btw Lol
[Desire General] EroThraX:
There is nothing about this in the full manual so it's most probably not possible unless it's hidden.
[Desire General] irkan:
I swear i saw it in some vid :confused: I even remember which screen the guy moved :confused:

it was the right-bottom empty screen, he hold it and started to move it around!!! i know its nothing, but its so annoying, ..its one of those things that you have seen and want to remember wheree and when
[Desire General] irkan:
anyone managed to do it? .. I still think that i was NOT dreaming when i saw that vid that i cant find
[Desire General] sh500:
This poster seems to think they can do it:

[Desire General] bitdivision:
You probably saw it on a vid of the N1 running Desire ROM.

I believe there was a mod on that ROM which allowed you to move homescreens around from leap.
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
It can be done but you have to move it peice by piece. Each widget can be moved so what i was reffering to is say the bookmark page can be moved to another screen.
[Desire General] Baldyman1966:
You cannot change the order of the screens as far as I know, no previous android phone has had this ability and nobody Outside this thread has even suggested you can. I think some people may have confused the "helicopter View" that allows you to display all screens and jump directly to any screen with the ability to rearrange them.
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
yeah im reffering to being able to move any widgets. could start from blank and re-arrange it to how ever you want.
[Desire General] grainysand:
You can do this but only on the Desire ROM ported to the N1. paulobrien, the developer behind the Desire port, already told us that this "long press a homescreen and swap it around" trick isn't available on actual Desires.

He's getting a Desire, though, so when/if the Desire is rooted I'm sure you guys will get this feature ported too. Kind of ironic, no?
[Desire General] nubbin:
Yep! You simply press and hold the screen you want to change and drag it to the remove bin at the bottom of the screen. You then replace it by clicking the "+" button bottom right of home screen, and choose from the list of widgets. I put on HTC calendar and photo album as two of my 7 screens. It is SO EASY to use this phone!
[Desire General] grainysand:
I don't think you understand. He means the ability to move around each homescreen, widgets/shortcuts and all, without needing to delete widgets/shortcuts and putting new ones on. You're thinking about long-pressing a widget or shortcut, not long-pressing a screen.

What's being discussed is quite different. It's like this:
[Desire General] irkan:
YES! exactly what i mean, ... can you guys tell me where is the video, i have been looking all over for it .. every day it has become an obsession for me to find that video D:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] crites:
I've recently upgraded to WM 6.5 on my Sprint TP2 and I really liked the home screen with the weather. The fact that it automagically updated the weather city as I drove to work is very cool.

Did you notice the past tense in the above paragraph? :o Now it tells me the weather Beverly Hills and I can't get it to report on my home location.

From the weather application I've deleted all but my home location and turned off location services. Although I've deleted all locations except my home location, it still shows 2 weather locations from the forecast screen, one of them being Beverly Hills.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] leighton1888:
Do you have sense 2.1? I had the same problem, didn't know what town I was it kept telling me that I was in Espoo Finland lol. When I upgraded to 2.5 it solved my problem.

Hope it helps
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] crites:
How do I check what 'sense' I have?

I'll search the site for an update.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] crites:
I'm sure this is my problem, I have a Sprint Airave at my house. This is from another forum.

I can answer this one! I'm a Sprint employee and am extremely familiar with the Airave.

The Airave broadcasts signal allowing your phone to have signal in an area where Sprint signal is not normally available. It does this by receiving a request from your phone, connecting to the Airave, and then then sending the request via your broadband internet connection rather than through a Sprint tower.

The problem you are experiencing is because of settings with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your location, often refered to geolocation, is set by your IP address (provided to you automatically by your ISP). ISPs often base IP addresses in a city where the company is basing operations. For example, I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and use Comcast as my ISP. My IP address however is based out of Rockford, Illinois.

If you go to http://whatismyipaddress.com, you will see the city to which your IP address is set. The city listed at this site, I would assume, is the city you see on your phone as your current location.

As far as a fix, I don't have much in the way of an answer. If the weather application is the issue, you could always set a city, rather than using the automatic location setting.

I hope this gives you some insight as to why the problem exists.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kd8fre:
For someone that works for Sprint, you are giving out a lot of bad information on their products. The Airave Geolocation is obviously NOT ISP based! The geolocation on my computers are all correct, well the location on my phone is not correct. That shows that it is not an ISP issue.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] crites:
FYI, that Airave descriptions wasn't mine it was from an entry "Sense 2.5 My Location and Airave Issue" by jhworley under another topic.

In running some tests on my phone I'm getting more confused. :-)

First of all WhatIsMYIPAddress shows my home computer being in Lansing, Michigan. Im on DLS and live in Okemos, a suburb of Lansing.

I went through all the combinations of Airave on and off, and the TP2 WiFi on and off, and WhatIsMYIPAddress on the phone always showed Wichita, KS. I did reload the page every time but maybe I should have done a hard reset to make sure it cleared everything.

Also, now the weather location the home screen of the phone is showing Okemos, not the previous display of Beverly Hills. I think what's going on here is that my phone is actually connecting through the local cell tower (which is usually marginal, hence the Airave) and Geolocating "Okemos".

It would be interesting to know when the phone (Sprint TP2) connects through the cell tower, Airave, or home WiFi. Can anyone tell me if the phone only does data connections thru the home WiFi, or will it do VoIP over the WiFi if available?

Thnx
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mstevens:
I knew that, but only because I was familiar with that (incorrect) post from another forum. They way you post it, without quoting or attribution, makes it look as if you're saying you wrote it. It's best to avoid that, because either other people's blunders are going to make you look dumb, or you'll be stealing other people's work.

VOIP uses a data connection. It doesn't care whether that's cellular data or WiFi. The phone does not come set up with VOIP, though. You have to install a VOIP application such as Skype.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Savage1701:
Airave & Wrong Weather Time/Location

Maybe just coincedental, but when I started using my Airave this morning, my Homescreen on my TP2 now has the wrong city, about 10 miles away, and is frozen at US 8:07CST.

Maybe a coincedence.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] SiL3nTKiLL:
mine does it randomly too, i just havce to input the location manually
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Savage1701:
Yeah, I called Airave and they said that in some cases it is a known bug and they are going to do an update at some point to correct it.

The moment I unplug my Airave I instantly get my updated local weather. Oddly, all the other major cities I keep on my Airave, such as Chicago, IL, don't have any update issues.

But, since I've got more bars on my phone than the Hershey Chocolate factory cranks out, I'll gladly put up with it. Sure beats 1 bar and dropped calls.

Hi,

Can any one please tell me how to create a nbh file form zImage? I would like to flash my own kernel in Kaiser. I have tried to search for this info on the net but couldnt find any thing useful.

Thanks in advance.

No need to do this by hand :D. My server runs a kernel compliation service, you can get a fresh zImage there (updated hourly): http://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday/

It has a few patches for nike, but it should work on kaiser/vogue/polaris too. If anyone has problems with it send me a pm (can also add a vanilla kernel).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Alamei:
If it wouldn't be too tough, I would certainly appreciate an auto-compiled version of the vanilla zImage.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] voyteckst:
Is it ok for WarmDonut also?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pentagramII:
Its working with donut too :) Thats the same zimage like Dzo but it has also a few another patches for nike.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mblaster:
OK, I will include it later.

The kernel works with both, eclair and donut. For eclair just add hw3d.version=1 to dafault.txt.

BTW: Yes, it is DZOs kernel, so credits go to him of course:)

Hi Y´all!

This might be a stupid question but never the less:

The Legend screen cover is hardened glass.

Given the nature of this thread can i then assume that Desire´s screen front is plastic?

Haven´t found the ansver in any of the reviews so far.

Edit:

Never mind! found the ansver, It´s glass. then why use screen protectors surely they´ll attrack fingerprints as well?

ASDA is a supermarket in the UK. I doubt he has a link for the cloths...
[Desire General] choccy31:
ASDA is Walmart! If you're in USA go there, it's the same owners!
[Desire General] Raminder1992:
Hi,

I ordered the same case (from Ebay).

However, click on the link you have put on ... the case has changed.

And the one that you and I have bought is now £40 more!!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-Luxur...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270338006&sr=1-2

I got mine from ebay for £6.99 (he said he would send it off on the same day so I paid the higher price on ebay to get it quicker but I have not received it yet).

And on ebay it is £60 now! I thought it was a mistake until I checked it out on Amazon!

Is this for reel?
[Desire General] irkan:
its from the same user, but not exactly the same product, from the pic, the higher price is claimed to be leather, "real leather" so thats why its higher IMO
[Desire General] zonkkk:
I would say none of us buy it... 45 pounds is a lot of money for a... case... even be it for the HTC desire... so the price will definitely go down in the next few weeks to a more normal £8-9 pounds for a real leather case.
[Desire General] salahag:
So the tip of the phone stays out I assume! I don't know how comfortable it is to slide it in and out of this case, but I don't like it, looks like it can scratch the phone from both sides with the edge of the opening.

Anyway, I've used a case with the Hero from Clove, and it's so practical and protective of the phone. A similar one for the Nexus One can be found here.

It should work for the Desire i think.

Edit: The quoted link shows a different case, refer to attachment in post #4
[Desire General] oawalker:
dunno why the price has jumped up so high, i dunno if it's a mistake, or it is real leather and they accidentally put the price low.
[Desire General] Raminder1992:
What I am saying guys that this case

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-Luxur...7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270372814&sr=1-7

use to be about £5-£6

Now look at the price!!! Why the sudden increase? It is almost ten times the price I got it for! ( I still have to receive mine but other people have received theirs!)
[Desire General] Raminder1992:
I want to find out. :)

I do not think it is a mistake as they have the higher price on Ebay too now.

Whatever it is hopefully it means I got myself a bargain!

Should have bought more than one!!!
[Desire General] oawalker:
Lol yea i only paid £5.30 for mine, i am going to email them and see why the price has jumped up.
[Desire General] Raminder1992:
Tell me when you find out :)

Because I have not received it yet so I do not want to email them asking them!
