Have a look at some software called Sashimi, or better still, put a search in Youtube and watch the tutorial, its a brilliant piece of software plus its free. I haven't completely got to grips with it, but so far i have managed to get it to install cabs to a certain directory, import customised reg's, set up my push mail, pop mail etc and import files including ring tones to a certain directory all with the click of a button. (obviously you have to set it all up first) . it will do more but i have not got that far yet. When you flash ROMS as often as i do, its a massive time saver, its definitely worth a look.

Hi,

Does anyone else find that the max headphone volume when playing music is way too quiet?

Love the phone otherwise though!
[Desire General] Bandare:
have terrible hearing and one think I hope to be able to do is hear my music on the desire.........

Hope it's not too quiet. Could it be what you have on there has been recorded quiet?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I disagree, i think it's loud. It's louder than the G1 with the loudhack applied anyway.
[Desire General] Bandare:
what's a loud hack?
[Desire General] AudunXetrov:
A hack that makes it louder ;)
[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
Lol, are you sure? That would seem far too logical to me?

Thats for the G1
[Desire General] dafadau:
Having listened to it all the way to work today, I'm still unimpressed with the max volume - it's just not enough
[Desire General] JTHM:
I think this of my THD when using the standard type earphones - still not loud enough even at full volume. My Sennheisers make ALL the difference and I find that just 1-2 (scale 1-10) is plenty. I would personally recommend a pair of CX300s as I haven't been able to fault mine.
[Desire General] dafadau:
Funnily enough, I am using CX300s myself...
[Desire General] JTHM:
Ah :o

...then I share your concern.
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
im using CX300 MK2 and yea it could be a bit louder the volume.
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
I'm using CX500s (just to trump you all) ;) and I also feel that the volume could be louder, putting it on max volume just makes me feel like I'm hurting my ears for some reason even when it's not loud haha
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
deffiently louder than my iphone and my ipod classic. I'm happy with the volume - coincidently im also using the cx300's lol. Quite happy with the overall sound quality in general. Will be nice for uni!
[Desire General] dafadau:
Odd! I've an iPhone too and that's way louder than my Desire!
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
I never thought the iPhone was loud. but the desire is deffinetly louder than my iphone was..... Hmmm. Everyone has turned the volume up...right? ;) lol
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
strange. i have a ipod toucha nd my ipod touch is much louder than this phone at full volume
[Desire General] Mark One:
At least I know what 'phones I'm going to buy now :)
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
hmmm. I really did think that this was louder than my iphone.... Not sure why... Same songs, same format, everything...
[Desire General] AudunXetrov:
A bit off-topic, but Sennheiser CX300s.. Do they sit firmly in your ear, or do they fall out easily? Could they be used for, say, jogging?
[Desire General] dafadau:
They fit nicely in your ear, jogging would be fine.
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
I jog in mine, and nine times out of ten fall asleep in them and wake up with them still in! haha
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
its not mate, the iphone is much louder
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
Ah well. My mistake. It seems louder than mine was, and louder than my ipod classic playing the same song on maximum. And it is deffinetly louder than my ipod classic!!
[Desire General] TheRidd|e:
Geth a getto blaster with line in and connect it to your desire audio out jack ;)

Problem solved :D
[Desire General] landwomble:
my desire produces *really sucky* line out level. Way lower than my iPhone. I'm really, really disappointed in it.
[Desire General] revthanki:
it appears to be a ROM issue

The T-Mobile ROM at full volume is the same as the Orange ROM 3 clicks below full volume. Reflashing to a generic ROM might be the only answer (but one that voids warranty)...
[Desire General] david_inuk:
Intresting.

I have an Orange version and find that the speakerphone is too quiet. Do you know what it's like compared to the generic Rom?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] grimyhr:
i need to hardspl, but my usb on htc touch pro doesn't work for some reason, htc recognises that it is pluged in the pc, but the pc says that the device has failed to start or something like that, i've tried to connect it on several computers but no result, is there any way of instaling custom rom without hardspl?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rakdoll:
Make sure you have Mobile Device center installed, and maybe you should hard reset the phone, then try again. Should work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stim141:
Also check to see if you have some sort of Antivirus/Firewall protection active. Know this is an issue with several programs where ActiveSync (XP) won't allow the sync up. You have to allow the sync program to access the phone within the antivirus program.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] grimyhr:
active sync/mobile device center is instaled(tried on several computers with diferent os), firewall and antivirus are disabled, advanced usb... is disabled but windows say that the device malfunkcioned and that they dont recognise it, and i don't thin that anything is wrong with the device phisically, as it charges normaly and when i plug it in the computer it asks what kind of connection would i like to make, but no matter what i choose, windows give me the same message. i even tried to hard reset it, but nothing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] borisku:
Try different cable, dont use a hub ...

Greetz&good luck

boris
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] grimyhr:
isn't connected on hub, tried 3 diferent cables, fully updated windows7, fully updated windows xp pro, xp pro with only sp1... nothing. and all of these answers don't answer my question: is there any way of instaling custom rom without hardspl? and i mean realy any, it doesent have to be safe.
[HD2 General] s32bauer:
Hi,

I've been stupid. The HD2 isn't the first Windows Mobile device I've owned, and I should know better than to download software off of the internet.

I downloaded Swype from a website, 1800pocketpc or something like that. I've no idea what version, but it's basically changed my phone password, so now I can't even get into my device to uninstall it.

Most of the posts I've seen online have said the only way around this is a hard reset. Can someone else see if they can give me another option (i.e if they know what Swype changes the password to, etc).

Any help would be massively appreciated!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sounds like the 3.9 version (kind of light grey?) which changes passwords on machines that dont report a t mobile base rom.

There are several threads, and like you, i haven't yet seen a sucessfull outcome that didn't include a hard reset.

If you want to play with swype (its great) look for the one ripped from the omnia.(version 2, i think, , , )
[HD2 General] JamesRC:
There is a version that works on the non-Tmo phones, can upload if requested.

For the problem you are experiencing, you need to replace modelname.txt in the windows directory if you can access it. I'm not sure if you mean the SIM lock or phone PIN, if its SIM you can cancel and overwrite the file; if the latter I do not know a way around it. Sorry.
[HD2 General] herbs28:
I had the same with a custom ROM from here and the Swype cab to go with it. I did a hard reset and installed Swype, then set the pin code back. No problems since.

1) You are doing this at your own risk.

Things needed:

ADB/Fastboot knowledge - HERE and HERE

RGB565Converter v0.3c - Thanks to DeToX-cz!

UPDATE: You must have the engineering bootloader flashed for access to splash1. Follow the steps here to flash the S=OFF bootloader. -Thanks to jcase

Instructions:

Find an or create an image (.png, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif -- 320x480 is preferrable)

Open RGB565 Converter

Ensure that "To RGB565 (binary)" tab is selected

Click "Open Image", select your image

Click "Convert to RGB565" (RGB565 Converter will make your image 320x480 if it is not already)

CLOSE RGB565 CONVERTER

Reboot phone into Fastboot using this command: adb reboot bootloader

OR Button combo: SEND/CALL + END/POWER

Flash image using this command: fastboot flash splash1 <your_image_name>.rgb565

Reboot phone using this command: fastboot reboot

OR fastboot oem powerdown if not then remove your battery

View the results of your hard work.

Enjoy!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:
As of right now there is no way to read the splash1 partition to back it up short of some kind of kernel mod to partition splash1 from NAND as a new MTD. At least that's how I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.

You must flash the S-OFF BOOTLOADER for this to work.

You can use the RGB565Converter tool to flash your image successfully without needing to type commands.

Below is another method used to keep your phone from rebooting unexpectedly during the process:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] TopazAaron:
didnt seem to work for me, but im not rooted, ill try this with my brothers rooted phone in a bit and repioret back
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
Wow that worked great! Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ch4sethe5un:
How do you get into fastboot? I held the trackball down and power. Is that what you meant by hold "send press" and also does the image need to be on the root of the sdcard(Im guessing so...)?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] TopazAaron:
no, Hold Call button and end button to get into fastboot

and this is ONLY FOR ROOTED PHONES

thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ch4sethe5un:
thanks i will try it out. Im using ivan's 0.7
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ch4sethe5un:
Ok so i figured out i needed to be in "fastboot usb" mode, but i searched and found that i had to type this command into the CommandPrompt

adb shell
su
reboot bootloader

then type in the command that was mentioned before, but make sure that the image is in the \tools dir in your android sdk install.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] t2noob:
^^^ This worked...But i have question after this how do you reboot?

I just did a battery pull But I'm sure there must be a command to reboot anyone know what it is?

and I used this Picture of an android with the letters ERIS in the center is anyone else want that instead of the droid one or something.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ch4sethe5un:
there should be an option to go to HBOOT menu and then into recovery and reboot from there.

I used this one:

I don't want to be the noob here, but I am having problems here.

Put phone in FASTBOOT USB. I took this thread example image, renamed it to lol.rgb565. Places it in /SDK/Tools. Ran fastboot flash splash1 lol.rgb565 in cmd under Windows Vista SP1 and it returns < waiting for device > and sits there appearing to do nothing. I DO HAVE ROOT.

Any suggestions on what I am doing incorrectly?

PS: I Do have fastboot.exe in /tools
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:
You don't just rename the file you need to download the converter and convert it to a .rgb565 file--Read: Things Needed/Instructions. Then however you like to use fastboot flash it to the phone.

If you didn't add the SDK tools directory to your %PATH% variable in Windows then yes it must be in the current directory that you are in when running the commands.

This is why it says to educate yourself and feel comfortable with modifying Android before trying this. We can only make so many threads that say the same thing over and over again before nobody wants to help people due to people not helping themselves.

Search. Forum. Search. Google. I did it at one point and you can too.

You seem to have some unnecessary attitude with me. It you didn't notice I am not like most of the mourns that are like WHY NOT WORK... O WUT IS ROOT!?!?!? also excuse me.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:

Please read through again and download the converter. I'm sure you'll get it as many others have.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] `mods:
It turns out that it wasn't the file or anything that was causing the issue but that the Android usb driver was screwed up. Go figure.

I'm glad you figured the problem out, hope you got the image flashed!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] `mods:
Already flashed, now I have a branded Aperture Science phone. I need to look into if it is possible to change the other images, such as the one on the recovery menu and on the flash boot it's self.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ECLIPS3:
is there any way to change the HTC boot image as well as the VERIZON boot image? I do have root, and tried searching but all i found is just changing the skateboards image.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ch4sethe5un:
http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=35418138

first and second one are it. I searched for "boot animation" in the droid eris section
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xllxjustinxllx:
OK guys i guess i'm the only one that noticed this option in the converter.

When you load a new image it gives you the option to "flash splash1"

So i tried it and it works!!!, no flashboot, its too easy.

1. Open the converter

2. Load up any 320x480 image

3. Connect your phone to usb, charging only. ( I didnt try with the sdcard mounted to my computer)

4. Click "flash splash 1"

5. Watch your phone reboot and load your new boot image.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] GertBFrobe:
Kind of like sleeping at a Holiday Inn Express!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:
Hmmm... that function wasn't working for me before. Plus people here would probably like to run the flash command themselves so that they know for sure what is being flashed and where it is getting flashed. Good to know though I'll make sure it works and then add it as an optional method if it starts working for me.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Philosophre:
Will this push be permanent? Or will the boot logo revert back to skateboarders?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zwade01:
Very cool screen!!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Raziken:
The push is permanent. You're overwriting the original splash1 with a new splash1. The only way this can be undone is by flashing a new rom/update.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:
I've also found that flashing any custom ROMs done by devs here make no change to the splash1 image after flashing. Meaning, you will be keeping your custom splash1 until you change it or possibly a full OTA/PB00IMG type flash is done.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:
I'm still unable to get this to work. It did reboot my phone and put it in fastboot when I tried but it didn't do anything else after. I let it sit for 2 then 5 ish minutes and still nothing. Ran a fastboot reboot on my own each time and still came up with the same splash1 image.

I'm going to leave the instructions as is because the method explained works everytime as long as ADB/Fastboot + root are all set up correctly.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:
Updated layout added some known commands for rebooting and getting into fastboot.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Philosophre:
I got what xllxjustinxllx said to work.

Once I clicked "Flash splash1", a tempImage.rgb565 was created.

I then turned off the phone and turned the phone back on with the SEND/CALL + END/POWER.

Then the tempImage.rgb565 file on my desktop disappears and my new boot logo shows on the phone.

Tried it twice. Pretty smooth. Thanks.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] SoCalSpecialist:
why is android so technical????

cant we just zip it up and flash from recovery like everything else? jeeze

ill try and figure this out tonight..see what i come up with
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:
Why bother packaging everything possibly first into a .img file then a .zip file then test signing it just to change one picture on your phone? This really IS the most efficient way of accessing the splash1 area of your phone.

I've done some looking into it and I cant even find a really solid way of backing up splash1 other than some sites/forums/wikis saying that it is part of the mtd0 "misc" block. I did dumps of mtd0 and you dont really get anything from our phone except for some VZW_001 crap and tons of FF in a hex editor. BTW, anyone have any ideas on this? I tried PMing the creator of the RBG656 Converter since it looked like he had a method but I never got a reply--also other people were saying that OLD nandroid backups dumped splash1 (prolly just mtd0 anyway) but I can't find anything telling me where it was actually pulling the data from.

But hell doing research never hurt anyone let me know what you come up with.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] SoCalSpecialist:
oh i wasnt knocking you for it, its just so technical, so to speak.

i mean comming from winmo where u can just drag and drop 75% of the changes that needed to be done to ur device rather than run a multitude of scripts.

either way..ill throw on my thinking hat and see what i come across on the internuts.
