[G1 Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Salaam!

I've had great luck with Cyanogen Mod 7 and the Multiling keyboard. I've had no problems with using Persian on my Nexus S and Nook Color once I flashed the Cyanogen ROM (I'm using 7.10RC1).

I haven't tried any of the aforementioned ROMs and don't know how well they're maintained, but I know that Cyanogen is a well-maintained popular ROM, so you're likely to get plenty of help and support.

Hope that this helps!

Khoda hafez,

Hi-

I purchased an xv6700 for use with Verizon . Unknown to me, the original owner had replaced the OS (WinMo 5.0) with a version of WinMo 6.5 from ppckitchen.com. I'm trying to work with the seller, but I also want to explore the available options for if I were to keep the phone. I would consider staying with the device/current OS, but there are a couple of problems that would need to be addressed.

1) The new OS does not have any productivity suite. Are there any open source/free alternatives to mobile Office? I rather not have to purchase a new version of mobile Office. It should be included with the original OS.

2) Should the WIFI work without service? I rather not activate the phone until I'm sure I will be stuck with it, but I want to know if it will work. Currently it sees, but can't connect to any networks.

Additionally, I have been unable to find the original software. Does anyone have the OEM provided ROM? How hard is flashing it? HTC will not provide any service/support. Your input/assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] MDKline:
I found another cooked ROM with an Office suite. I'll be loading that one. Thanks for looking!

[HD2 General] joe_coolish:
So I use the Kumar roms and I was wondering, if I flash from version 1.5 to 1.6 of the same rom is it still necessary for me to do a hard reset? Or is it any time you update the rom, you must do a hard reset? What happens if you don't do a hard reset?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] ZuluWarrior:
You don't have to do a hard reset but it always ensures that are no old sys files left that may have been updated in the version. It will help prevent any bugs or glitches from occuring but hard resets are not required with a new flash.
[HD2 General] DaDoctor:
Or just run task29 first and u wouldnt have to hardreset...
[HD2 General] joe_coolish:
lol, doesn't Task29 delete EVERYTHING? I mean, technically you're right, I wouldn't need to hard reset if I do a Task29.

Basically, I don't want to have to re-setup my phone every time I want to load the latest ROM.

Since it's the same ROM just updated it should be fine right.... right?
[HD2 General] jrip777:
Well every time you flash a new ROM even if its just a newer build of what you already have it still wipes you phone and is basically the same as a hard reset. The reason why it is recommended run task 29 is because there are files that a hard reset DOES NOT remove that you dont want to have interfering with the new build. So I guess Im confused why are you worried about a hard reset if you just flashed and theres nothing on your phone to reconfigure anyway. But look into a UC program that will install everything that you want as the phone sets up for the first time so you dont have to do. Makes it much easier.
[HD2 General] ai6908:
You have to reset everything if you want to flash a ROM. There is no getting away from it.
[HD2 General] HotShotAzn:
I need to learn to use UC better or even Sashimi.

I HATE having to set everything back up after a new rom flash.

But yes, I would agree you should be running Task 29 before each flash...although I was puckered up the entire first time I tried it.
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
Maybe I'm a strange guy but I never do a hardreset after flash and I never experienced a problem for not doing that.

I just don't believe in it and I jump from build to build to base to base while I'm cooking.

Does HTC or T-Mob recommends you to do that after a flash?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hah, you probably dont stay on one rom long enough to notice whether it works or NOT!

hmm, and what do THEY know about it???? :)
[HD2 General] DatDereX1:
I don't either. hard reset after flash doesn't do anything different, I don't know why people say it matters.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
The reasoning is that when you flash, and allow the rom to instal, it doesn't do a task 29, so you flash, and then do a hard reset which forces a task 29, followed by the rom setting itself up for first use.

( Personally i sometimes do, sometimes dont. In my experience I seem as likely to get a good rom without doing it as getting a bad rom after doing it. Seems pretty hit and miss)
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
A flash is actualy doing the same as Task29, but when you use only Task29 it wipes out the phone internal memory and you have nothing.

During flash the rom gets formatted and the new data will be written.
[HD2 General] roloracer:
so task29 is not really something necessary, if you flash and hard reset right after?

Sorry for the newb question, but coming from excalibur to kaiser to raphael and now hd2, it's the first time I heard of task29, so just wanted to check if it's a big deal or not!:)
[HD2 General] joe_coolish:
Yeah, I've heard mixed talk about Task29. I actually would really like to know what it is exactly. Why is it called Task29? Is it the same for all phones? I know you have to run a program from your computer to do it (Well, atleast that's what I think) I've never been brave enough to search for it and really understand it. Just saying "Task29" is kinda scary sounding!
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
Task 29 is a commando you give with MTTY to wipe out your phones internal memory.

MTTY has many commands and some can realy kill your phone as it can touch the bootloader if you give the wrong commands.

A device without a bootloader is dead.

Maybe other people think different about this but I recommend to use it only incase of a emergengy, to fix a corrupted flash.
[HD2 General] Stank0:
THANK YOU!!! First time I started flashing (Kaiser) i did as advised. Ie. hard reset... then I quit doing this IMO absolutely unnecessary step and never noticed any difference.

The device memory will hard-reset and format everytime I flash it anyway.

Why should be two formats better than one?

Once you format hard drive, it's formatted. No need to format it again.

When people say "some files don't get formated" I'd like to see a proof. What files? What program did you use to view these files? If there is no such, HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW then????

Which one do you think is better and why?

Pictures in the next post to convince people who haven't seen them yet to get one, or both!

And if you know of another app that's better, let us know!

Check out the pictures below for some features of each app:

Hmm Mobile Defense looks quite interesting, im going to give that a shot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TurboTsi:
Wave secure is better because you can remote wipe!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I cant use both because they both dont support google voice SMSs :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SpaceBoy2000:
Why pick? I use them both. Yes, I'm that paranoid.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sistum Id:
Smart man.

I've been using Mobile Defense since it first went public last year. I haven't had to use it yet except to beep my phone to find it if I misplace it in my house.

I wanted to try Wave Secure but I thought I read something about costing minutes or something so I just left it alone.

Can you install it as a system app like Mobile Defense so it runs hidden and can't be uninstalled? Can you enable the GPS remotely from a web page?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teihoata:
Nah wave secure doesn't cost anything I don't think, had it for a while now, never had to use it yet though.

The first time you install it and open it, it prompts you to go into the marketplace and download a specific app which makes wave secure immune to being uninstalled.

Can't enable gps either, if your gps is not on when you lose the phone tuff luck. When I tried it without gps being on it tracked me to the nearest cell tower (which is about 5kms away from where I am) good luck finding your phone then.

Does mobile defense offer the option to remotely turn on gps? I have yet to give it a try

May be good to note that wavesecure is international whereas mobile defense is only available in america for now
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Texts from WaveSecure webpage to your phone are sent from Singapore. (Check out the WaveSecure webpage screenshot in the middle in red text.)

A few days after I first was playing around with it, my T-Mobile account did indeed note texts from Singapore. Luckily, they didn't charge me extra, but other carriers may be different.

-----

I don't know if either program can turn on GPS remotely. Does anyone know for sure? I haven't seen that option.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sijones_uk:
WaveSecure though the website can tell you where the phone is.

WaveSecure doesnt send text's etc without you knowing, i.e. when you want to locate phone, wipe it, lock it. These are done by Text so I dont think it would matter if you get charged as it's only if you lose it...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krumb:
ditto!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cymru:
I like the look of Mobile Defense but sadly not available in the UK.

Wavesecure does the job though! (well, i hope it does if the time comes)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ssantos6981:
Exactly, why choose? They provide the best and some services are unique to each program. It would be in everyone best interest to get both.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
Sonuva... I didn't see the whole singapore deal... since you mentioned it I decided to check and Tmobile definitely charged me for it. It's kind of bogus, too, because the number doesn't use country codes.

Bah.

I think I might jump over to mobile defense... I'm not sure what I was messing with, but wavesecure managed to send out 25 SMS messages from my phone. I can only think of one incident where it should have done it... I got a new SIM card and it sms'd my buddy list that they should notify me that my sim card was changed. Other than that, I haven't tooled around with it.

Lame
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
WTF? Who pays to receive texts? What does it matter where they come from? Mars as far as I care.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Can WaveSecure/Mobile Defense activate GPS if it is turned off if they are installed as system apps? I thought I read it could somewhere but I don't remember.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rreyes0416:
I go for mobile defense

Mobile Defense when you track your phone it gives you the exact street and house number of where the phone is.......Wave Secure dont!!!... Wave Secure has other tools to maximize security but at the end you just want to know where the hell is the phone to go and get it....

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
I'm wondering why people like WaveSecure so much? I think Mobile Defense looks better, cleaner, and helps you find your phone easier, and doesn't have the Singapore texts. Maybe I should have named the thread differently asking why people like WaveSecure so much :D

Or does it have nothing to do with the functionality, and just that Mobile Defense is US only? :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Wavsecure can do backups and has a UI from the phone. I have also found it to be quicker on the draw for a location fix.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cubed Guru:
To be honest, I use both.

Mobile Defense: had a practical use of it. Lost the Nexus One, and was able to recover it using Mobile Defense Locator. Was able to post a message on the screen. Some maintainance guy found it and turned it in the office (Didnt know there were such nice people still alive. May he win the lotto or something). Gave the tracking information to the cops and they were able to take me there and was able to get the phone.

Wave Secure: The app looks quite promising just like mobile defense.

Would recommend either or, but, hell, if you were smart enough to sign up for Wave Secure before March 31st, keep both on the Sexy Nexy. It is worth it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cubed Guru:
To quote a prior poster: Wave Secure does send you text message from Singapore.

Also, I can agree, that Mobile Defense gives you precise street address. that was how I was able to know my phone was in a specific dorm. I had lost my phone when I was out of town attending a conference and was at a bar after hours. Someone took the phone and I found it later the next day in the office of that dorm.

If you like the look of Mobile defense and the precise address lookup, and the Wave Secure feature of more data security and ability to force GPS ON (Rooted N1), get both.

Use wave secure to secure your data, and then force GPS on using Wave Secure, then use Mobile Defense to track the exact location.

Done deal.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hah2110:
I am doing the opposite... How do you get WS to turn on GPS?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] smstutler:
Wavesecure can be remove in less than a minute. Even their added security addon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
How did you actually do this without using ADB or recovery?

I have tried and whichever way I try to uninstall the apps the phone locks. Please describe your steps, I am interested.

Of course, nothing can prevent against recovery or adb access and no product makes this claim as far as I am aware.

I mean if somebody just wants your hardware and not your data then no application will prevent them fastbooting and flashing.

Yesterday my N1 was stolen off my desk in my office. I noticed the security door was broken and confirmed by checking the security camera files. Called the cops went to the Wave Secure site and started tracking. Cops came to my office, took the report while other units went to the tracking area. Had my phone back within 1 hour. The guy's in jail on 50k bail for felony burglary...and no court till Monday :p The only downfall was I didn't have WaveSecure excluded in Task Killer, so locking did not take effect until I rebooted the phone....scared the crap outta me. :D

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] negroplasty:
I'm with you on this one, I don't trust either application to do the jobs they advertise. The lock functions on both are a joke and can be easily bypassed, maybe that has something to do with running CM mod I dunno.

If they functioned perfectly I would probably use one of them, but seeing as they don't I see no reason to have more junk running in the background clogging up my phone. Not to mention the even more potential for issues by allowing these apps such unrestricted access to the phone, I don't need text messages coming from Thailand that can wipe my phone in an instant, or track my location for that matter.

I keep a close eye on my phone, or keep it locked away in a safe place if I can't.

Just my 2¢.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Thanks for the heads-up. I use Wave Secure, could you elaborate on the procedure to bypass the lock screen, you've got me curious? Cheers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] negroplasty:
It's been a little while since I tried them both, maybe they fixed it. I recall being able to long press home and access recent applications and be able to open them. I can't remember which app behaved which way, one was slightly better (I think it was wavesecure) in a sense that although it allowed you to open recent apps and even the home screen after enough fiddling, it would continuously return you to the lock screen every 5 seconds or so. I believe I was still able to kill the process with a task manager, ultimately regaining control of the phone with mobile defense. Even if I was unable to kill the app or unlock the phone without the code/computer; I was still able to open apps, read text messages (even if only for 5 seconds at a time).

On mobile defense (I think it was mobile defense) I was able to simply press menu/home/search and the corresponding screens would pop up right above the "lock" screen.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...ion-weve-seen-to-date-really-hands-on-review/

It is a very long review, so I think is worth looking into it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nexus-six:
That does look pretty nice, though I

hate

that the app is locked to the phone (not to the user account). If you get a new phone you have to pay AGAIN!

I still have Wavesecure installed from when the "shareware" didn't expire but it bugs the hell out of me to get update notices that I have to turn down.

Probably worth spending $10+ and knowing that you can get your phone back if it is stolen.

So which one do people like best?

WaveSecure?

Prey?

Mobile Defense?

Lookout?

Theft Aware?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] android01:
I am a wavesecure beta tester too. Have it on my nexus. Though I installed lookout on my wife's g1 rooted with cm5.8 and did a comparison and found lookouts tracking to be better than wavesecure. So I'm thinking of switching now. That and lookouts tracking is free. Which is the only usefully function anyway.
