Post updated - avoid this god damned case! Advise everyone against purchasing it!

Don't try and protect your expensive gadget in this sort of tat. I will melt this tripe on behalf of everyone who respects their phones on XDA.

If a mod sees this, could you put [AVOID] in the subject line of this thread?
[HD2 Accessories] smeddy:
Sad :(

Personally, if it helps, after two weeks of use, I'm in LOVE with this wallet! £3.49 :)

[HD2 Accessories] TheContact:
I have the same case, albeit in red, and I can confirm that the die does stain the HD2 and removing and replacing the case has damaged the finish on the top two corners of my phone. And quite frankly, I serious doubt it would provide any real protection.

That said, I like the look and feel of the case and continue to use it. I find the rear of the HD2 bland and boring...
[HD2 Accessories] adeeb:
I Totally agree. AVOID these hard plastic cases.

When i 1st bought it, i bought a pack of 3 different colors.

When i 1st tried i was really happy with the looks specially with the blue one.

Next day i was wearing brown, so i thought why not put on the red one.

When i removed the blue one, Damn there were blue paint smudges around the corner of my phone. Crap, they are stuck there, no matter what i tried they ain't

coming off.
[HD2 Accessories] SMS92:
Yep, it's been a few days now since removing the blue case and the leaked substance from it is still very much attached to my phone (most noticeably on the back)

I can only imagine the amount of Leo's this tripe is going to cosmetically ruin, thanks a lot, China!

On a plus note the cosmetic damage has caused me to not worry so much about getting the odd scratch on it from now on, so I'm using it as I should (still obviously not trying to drop it if I can help it!)

Hopefully this thread will stop a few people from wasting their money on these things, in which case I'll just be glad I could sacrifice some of my HD2's looks for the greater good!
[HD2 Accessories] methodz:
do you think if you took some sand paper to it it would be a nicer fit or is it unsalvageable?
[HD2 Accessories] lusjash:
Another AVOID advice

And once again - BEWARE of snap-on hard cases! I mean you have to be very careful and do not go for the cheapest ones. Personally me - I would stay clear of any hard case/housing that touches the phone, as - yes - the painting of case is rather weak and comes off easily from daily usage. My sad experience with one of them, very similar to this one brought me to this rather obvious conclusion. What happened is that in 3 weeks gray paint/covering of my HD2 was damaged wherever it touched the sturdily snapping hard case - on the corners battery cover (where the gray plastic body of HD2 slightly is raised comparing to lower battery cover) - I will post photos of it.

Then I ordered a leather pull-case, and i am happy with it. Here is my positive review for it

how to hard reset moto MB200.help me.
[G1 Android Development] CrazyEye:
wrong section but you could do it in the storage settings it should say "factory reset"

If you didn't mean that look up your phone and try to find a .nbh that corresponds to your phone.

Then boot into fastboot mode and take care of business.

That should rewrite everything and could possibly cause a brick so if you do brick your phone, its not my fault.

Triple check and make sure you have the correct files before flashing (if you have to)

This forum is for the T-Mobile Dream / Rogers

EDIT: I am not to sure if the Moto Cliq even has .nbh files to flash.

Has anyone had success scanning a barcode with shopsavvy or other barcode scanning app on a Hero. My camera just can't seem to focus. The lense is constantly scanning in and out trying to get a fix. The stock Camera works fine for taking photos. It seems the barcode scanning apps just don't control the camera properly.

Thanks:confused:

and yes I've cleaned the lense and am trying it in good light etc etc
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] BigD18t:
yes, i use barcode scanner and it works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jpaul3767:
Works great for me, I use Savvy and have had no problems. It will not focus in poor light, so make sure the barcode is well lit, and scanning through plastic film is sometimes a pain, but it gets there eventually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
I use both Barcode Scanner and Shop Savvy and both work fine for me. Both have a red line showing on the camera screen. Make sure that runs all the way across the barcode, so you need to hold it in landscape mode. Need to get close, but not too close, and wait because it often takes a few seconds to focus and recognise the barcode. It will then peep when it has picked up the barcode
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Diamond Geezer:
Thanks for your replies guys but I've tried all ways of scanning - all sorts of distances away. The camera focuses then you can hear the lense click away as it loses focus. Then this repeats. It's as if it can't make it's mind up. Don't think it's a camera fault as the regular camera app works fine. mmmm I'll keep trying

Hello

So I have a [Telstra Australia] HTC Touch Pro2.

It currently runs the official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM.

From what I have heard by reading around, I can run any of 4 Operating Systems/Versions on it;

• Windows Mobile 6.1

• Windows Mobile 6.5

• Windows Mobile 7

• Google Android OS (pretty sure only v2.1)

Which Operating System should I install?

I require a device capable of;

• Making phone-calls (based on my input! – Through the Telstra 3G network)

• Storing numbers (Address Book)

• Browsing the Internet (both via WiFi & via 3G)

• Support PIN entry (SIM)

• Opening & storing PDFs

• Opening & storing documents

• Keyboard support

• Touch Screen support (including on screen keypad/keyboard when needed)

• Slant support (eg; I open the keyboard and the screen changes resolution/viewpoint | also, not required, but would be nice: changes screen orientation when 'rocking' the screen into a different angle.

• Running Multi-Applications at once (take that iPhone OS!!! *cough* It's not '71 anymore */cough*)

Also, with my current Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, it has integration with Facebook, which is quite nice. eg; A friend rings and a picture of them [from there Facebook Profile] loads up, as well as there name.

So, which Operating System would you recommend I install, and why?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations,

Chip D. Panarchy

Windows 7 is out of the question!
[General Questions and Answers] Panarchy:
Hahahaha!

Alright, so of the 3 remaining choices, which should I choose [based on my need]?
[General Questions and Answers] incredulous:
In all honesty, if you have the TP2, stick with Windows. 6.5 would be your best bet for speed and reliability. However, if you decide to get a new device anytime soon, definitely go for Android. I have never looked back since I made my Magic my main device, it is alot faster and alot more stable - on the right hardware of course. The only thing that Windows beats it on is the customizability oppotunities.

Questions about processor

How is Google Android for processor usage?

I was reading through the threads, and read whilst idle;

[unmodified - Telstra Mobile] Windows Mobile 6.1 = 49% (starts off at)

[unmodified - HTC (Telstra Mobile)] Windows Mobile 6.5 = 65% (starts off at)

What are your thoughts on this?

Personally, I usually have Adobe Reader & Opera 10 Beta (with about 5 tabs), which usually clocks 89%-95%.

Will the Android OS use less processor than Windows Mobile 6.1?

Can Windows Mobile 6.5 be modified so I can run both Adobe Reader & Opera 10 without it crashing?

Please alleviate my concerns.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Guys,

I'm trying to locate software that allows me to view Ordinance Survey UK data either 6, 8 or 10 grid.

At the moment all I can find is GPS titles that show your position in Latitude & Longitude.

As I carry an OS Map with me whilst out walking it can be a pain checking your position from the Phone's Lat&Long position onto an OS Map.

Ideally it would be great if the software could either display both Lat&Long and OS Grid reference or convert Lat&Long to OS grid Reference numbers.

Any idea guys???

Beards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cozzykim:
GPS Skinner will do this.

It's very flexible, I use it for sailing onto waypoints, but you have to write your own (text based) skin to customise it.

EDIT: From the GPS Skinner documentation:

#OSGB - This is a ten figure grid reference (e.g. NN 32269 32599) for the current position in terms of the Ordnance Survey Great Britain Grid.

#OSGB_SHORT - This is a six figure grid reference (e.g. NN 322 325) for the current position in terms of the Ordnance Survey Great Britain Grid.

#GRID_LOCATOR - This is the current position in terms of the Maidenhead Locator Grid.

#LATITUDE_DDD - This is the current latitude expressed as decimal degrees.

#LATITUDE_DMM - This is the current latitude expressed as degrees and decimal minutes.

#LATITUDE_DMS - This is the current latitude expressed as degrees, minutes and seconds.

#LONGITUDE_DDD - This is the current longitude expressed as decimal degrees.

#LONGITUDE_DMM - This is the current longitude expressed as degrees and decimal minutes.

#LONGITUDE_DMS - This is the current longitude expressed as degrees, minutes and seconds.

HTH
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fards:
I tend to use Memory Map, have done for years.

as it's OSGB based it works a treat (and I carry LOTS of maps with me, without a piece of paper in sight) :D

there's also http://www.users.callnetuk.com/~shanks/GPSMap.html

but I haven't tested it with the HD2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Whilst I truly appreciate what you have shown here cozzykim, I simply do not have the time to first understand and then create the skins required to show me the OS Reference data.

Maybe it is something I could do much later when I have time....

For now, all I need is something that shows me either the OS position or a conversion from a Lat & Long into OS Grid. :)

Again I appreciate the information fards but I would first need to have MM loaded onto my PC, create maps and have another MM installed with maps on the phone.

The same roughly with GPSMap-OS.

Again it's overkill to my needs.

I found something but have not yet had time to check it out. It is OS GPS Converter.

Not entirely what I am seeking as it's not large font touchscreen friendly.

Again my thanks to you also fards. :)

I hope TrevE doesnt mind me starting this thread first off. This is his customized version of the already sweet rom DarchLegend by DarchStar. Its been my daily rom since he put out it, I just thought Id make it a little easier for others to find and enjoy. And maybe inspire TrevE to share some more of his custum creations! ;) I also want to take the opprotunity to Thank both DarchStar and TrevE for their most excellent work. This is just copy and pasted from TrevE's posts in the DarchLegend thread.

Awesome Rom darchstar. Over the weekend i made the plunge to 2.x, after the google sign in issues with the eris rom i came over to your legend. Already real optimized and usable I just have a tendency to tweak everything. I made a few changes to your v2 and figured id post them back if anyone else wanted, use any of it as you will. Ive been wiping and flashing all weekend so its probably safe but if your phone blows up thats your fault. This is now my daily driver rom thanks alot darchstar

heres the changes i rememberd i made:

-chaged a few icons

-Transparent notification bar

-Black dialer

-fixed apps2sd and threw in the script to do 'apps2sd off' if you dont want it

-changed lowmemkiller minfree to 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 making a huge difference in speed

-cleared lockscreen

-used nexus bootscreen

-made few changes to install script & init.d files

-added wifi tether & few more widgets.

Hi, I have a folder with a couple of folders in it that each contain a whole lot of files. I want to cook this folder (with its subfolders) in a rom and place it in the device root folder.

[Windows Mobile] Noonski:
Why not Zip it up with an unkown extension, then unzip with Mort (can handle unkown zip extensions).

Using initflashfiles file operations slows up filesystem.

(using unkown filetypes and folders does not)

Thanks, fortunately wince cab maker has a generous trial period. For that one time I have to put all copilot map files in a cab, it is the best option. Thanks anyway
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Cabs suck, they're a pain in the butt to make and take forever to install. Just do what Noonski said and make a zip file. They install in seconds, whereas big cabs can take minutes. Here's the basic format I use; this zip file goes to the device root, which is what you want (you need the right # of \'s to get it to work). First, I have a zip file named 'root.zip'. Then, I name the mortscript Unziproot.mscr. Here's the script:

UnZipALL("\Windows\root.zip","\\")

To get it to execute, I add this to an add2config.txt file:

EXEC:\WINDOWS\Unziproot.mscr

Zip files are a helluva lot easier to make than cabs; I do it all the time with total commander on the device, and it takes just a few seconds. They're trivial to edit, too. I've attached a zip file that has the add2config.txt, the mortscript, and also a simple mortscript package that works well. Seriously, just listen to Noonski.

Edit: Make sure the mortscript doesn't have any spaces in it. If you name it "Unzip root.mscr", it won't run during customization (been there, done that, lol).
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
Hey Noonski.. how about we make a script, or an executable that we can plug in a kitchen batch file right before IMGFS gets created, that can look at at an initflashfiles.dat, analyze it, line by line, then create a zip with all the files its supposed to move then copy an almost blank initflashfiles.dat back in the "dump" directory. We could even do this in mort for windows!
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
TPC mentioned doing something like that in the extendir thread. I will say this, I've tried to install my entire start menu with a zip file, and the bugger wouldn't work. The script worked fine after bootup, but it wouldn't run during customization. I don't know what the deal was. I only tried it a couple of times, though, but I don't think that I just did something really dumb.
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
That should be an easy thing to fix...
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
yeah i have actually made zips for every file that goes somewhere besides windows, you wont believe the amount of space this saves and how much faster your rom is :) it is alot of work, one way that makes it a lil easier is to make a list of all the files that are in your zips then have your .bat delete them from dump before imgfsfromdump.exe runs in kitchen....but we could do it better and easier im sure if we just all put our heads together ;)
