it does exactly that? are you sure? i thought it just made it a d-pad

edit: nevermind, wrong app, but still im not sure about the app having these features tho, and im new to the registry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nagrom Nniuq:
Having a d-pad will let you skip forward and backward. I'm not sure about if it will do it with the screen off. No program will let you do it if you have another app open... Obviously you can only control whatever is currently on the screen (the only thing I know that does let you control music anywhere is a headset).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RedRamage:
Consider getting a set of Bluetooth headphones. Now only do you get the advantage of not having to deal with a cord, but nearly all bluetooth headphones have volume and track control buttons which work even when the phone screen is off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicc51591:
what about a small bluetooth remote to change songs?

any recommendations for the tp2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RedRamage:
This might be what you're looking for. You need to plug in your headphones/speakers into the unit, but it gives you control of the music and should work with the screen off.

[General Questions and Answers] FreeMan3109:
Hi, I need help with selecting a new device.

1) HTC HD2 with WM or 2) something with Android

My requirements:

- minimum screen size 4"

- fast CPU (GPU) and a lot of RAM

- minimum battery life 1 day

My favorite is HD2. Is there any better device?

Sorry for my bad English.
[General Questions and Answers] Sethos II:
I sold my HD2 for an HTC Desire and I think it was a good decision.

It's almost the same hardware, but Android is just a so much nicer experience.

The screen is also more beautiful. And with Android being more fluid etc., the smaller screen doesn't matter, the Desire is still nicer to use.
[General Questions and Answers] FreeMan3109:
HTC Desire has a little screen. What about the Xperia X10 is better than the HD2?
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Check the HTC Nexus One or the HTC Evo...
[General Questions and Answers] Sethos II:
Try it, the smaller screen is just as good or even better, cause it's better to use.

Size is not that important, resolution is more important.

The Desire is better than the X10 and the HD2.
[General Questions and Answers] FreeMan3109:
HTC Evo is not yet on sale.

Desire is a nice phone, but the movies will be better on HD2 or not?

What is better to Desire? HW are the same except for RAM and the X10 has a bigger screen. X10 should be udpate to Android 2.1.
[HD2 General] jerukoth:
Forgive me for asking a NOOB question, but is Task 29 a good idea for the T-mobile USA HD2?

I only ask because I find tons of info, and ShaDracs version without the radio in the original HD2 ROM forum, but I can't find mention of it here.

Is it compatible?

Is it required for our phones between flashes?

Thanks
[HD2 General] joshkoss:
This has been asked before and also answered. You can use this one if you would like. It doesn't come with a radio and i have been using it on my T-mobile USA HD2 for a while.

Hi!

I'm not sure that this is the right place ti post my question

(if not please advice me).

I'm looking for a script able to start a process when I switch on my phone. On linux e.g if there is the process "my_proc"

that start automatically, you can also stop and restart

using

/etc/init.d/my_proc stop

and

/etc/init.d/my_proc start.

I'm looking for same script like this that is able to

manage automatically and also on request the process

my_process.

TIA
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cauli:
It varies somewhat from ROM to ROM, however the underlying mechanism is different from the approach you describe, that being common to many linux distros on PC.

As far as launching a process on boot, it's probably easiest to look through /init.rc & follow it to find an init script stored in /system or /data which is launched at boot; then just tack on a line, to launch your process, to that file. More correctly you could launch it from /init.rc directly (*)

For example I'm running MCR 3.2 on my Hero. / contains init.rc which I can easily examine on the device with Root Explorer. This file contains towards the final third:

service init /system/bin/sh /data/init.sh

user root

group root

oneshot

You could in this case launch your process from /data/init.sh

(*) If you want to explore this thoroughly or implement a proper mechanism, I think you need to look into services in Android. Here's some useful info on the [URL="http://androidenea.blogspot.com/2009/08/init-process-and-initrc.html]format of init.rc in Android[/URL].
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Htchanes:
I am wondering if there is a CAB out there for this, one with updatable database? Version 3.1 (build 2011.1826)

Reason I ask, is many custom ROMs out there do not have the updatable database version, and do not have my settings (yes to lazy to add manually).

I want to add this CAB to a custom ROM and have it work to get my setting automatically.

Getting each chef to cook it in is out of the question, so I wonder if I can install the CAB myself after flashing of a custom roms?

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Hi everyone,

Just to a couple of questions.

When I record a wide screen 800x480 video with the phone it plays back fine on the phone. When I copy it to my PC it won't play the audio. I have tried using VLC player, and Windows Media player. No sound.

The file is a .3gp type file (I chose mp4 encoding). I think a missing codec called samr is required to get sound on the clips on the PC. Anyone know a way around this?

Secondly, I have lots of clips I would like to look at on the phone. I tried uploading a H.264 file (mp4 file) and it won't playback. plays fine on my PC obviously. Tried using a conversion program to resize it to the exact 800x480 in H.264. Still won't play on the phone. what conversion tool do you use and what codec must the file be to play on the desire. H.264 doesn't seem to work?
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
the tool that works for me is "Convert Any to DVD Professional 4.0.5). It has an option for Nexus one H.264 and you can also crop the conversion etc. Oter conversion programs did not work for me even though I chose H.264. strange.
[Desire General] Crunch77:
I use Any Video Converter Pro.

Also used it for my Magic without problems.
[Desire General] s4vva:
Winmenc works nicely with h264 encodes, someone posted a profile on these boards. However there is a lipsync issue.

I cant seem to get handbrake working with h264 which is a pain because that is what I normally use.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

It is now working with HTC Desire, no need to have root access!

Voice input is working !

Plus bunch of other cool features (gestures, smileys, etc.)

Question and Answer

Q: Do I need root access to install this keyboard?

A: No, you dont. Really, you don't need root access!

Q: How do I install this keyboard?

A: Download the "hires" version, unzip it and transfer the HTC_IME_hi.apk to the phone. Use app manager like EStrongs or ASTRO to install this .apk file

Q: Do I need to install the Clicker.apk?

A: No, you dont. You only need this if your phone does not use HTC Sense UI

Q: How do I activate this keyboard?

A: After you installed the keyboard, do long press on a text input field. Then choose HTC IME Mod as input method. You need to do this just once.

Q: Does pinch to zoom still work with this keyboard?

A: Yes, it does work.

Q: Does the phone need to be connected to the internet to use voice input?

A: Yes

Q: But, the voice input still does not work! I pressed the voice input button and nothing came up.

A: Make sure your "voice search" is functioning, press the "Search" hardware button. If you don't see voice search icon then install this:

http://code.google.com/p/voicesearch/

Install only the VoiceSearch 2.1

Q: How to upgrade from old release to new release?

A: Use app manager like EStrongs or ASTRO then choose upgrade

Create your own keyboard themes? Go here:

It is very easy, you just choose colors and upload image, done!

Example:
[Desire Themes and Apps] cez10:
let me get this clear, is this the default sense keyboard but with voice input button?
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
This is a modification of the HTC Sense keyboard, yes you are correct.

The modification adds some more nice features + bug fixes of HTC code.

Which also enable voice input.

In the past, we cannot install this on HTC Desire because it requires root.

But now you can, jonasl made some more changes to make it works as "external 3rd party" keyboard like "Better Keyboard" for example.

When you install this, your current default original HTC Sense keyboard will not be replaced.

So, it is safe! You can choose :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] cez10:
great so to install it i just need to install the low and high res files and guess reboot or ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] blackfox888:
can I install this beside the Verizon 2.1 Keyboard which is also installed on my phone? I prefer the stock keyboard to have mic input.
[Desire Themes and Apps] blackfox888:
I think you don't install both hires and lowres its one or the other depend on resolution of screen. in our case hires version. correct me if im wrong.
[Desire Themes and Apps] blackfox888:
I'm going to give this a try...

looking at the voice search included in verizon 2.1 keyboard, this is higher version than voicesearch_2.1.apk (v1.50 compare to v1.40). gonna try installing it beside verizon 2.1 keyboard.

i am using voice to text right now, i will leave everything which is converted to know first time. you can see it is very accurate, there is a few words which is hit and miss, google i am very happy with it.

to know = alone

I flashed my hd2 from a stocked rom 1.42 dutch version, with hspl 1.42. I installed a custom rom from: HTC HD2 Laurentius WWE 21891UltimatePOWER.

it worked fine for 2 or 3 days and then it stocked, i reseted the phone and

Then i tried to flash a orginal romt by sd:

it stocked at 7 % and i get this screen:

- i tried flashing by sd and it stocked on 98%

- I tried different to install a rom and radio rom by vista, but also no succes

- I tried task 29 (by the Attached Task29 into a single exe.) to erease all data from the phone, but in windows by activesync it wont start

i tried al the above from windows 7.

Is there anyone that can help me, please i getting very desperate.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT! Try and read 2-3 times what is written here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477

Only afterwards proceed to the following :

First of all....try and use Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Second of all....do not try to use task 29 because its a bit more complicated and it involves some drivers and so on!

Use this little thing here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19 and after its completed....flash a proper radio something like 2.08.50.xx which you can find on Radio dedicated section here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787

After all these....flash a custom ROM but be careful to be one suited with your radio! Which is a radio appliable for most of custom ROMS BUT be VERY careful!

Another thing.....do not flash from SD Card....Use the CustomRUU tool and flash it via ActiveSync!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClydeB1:
Do you get any particular error message? When in bootloader mode, does "usb" show at the bttom of the screen? If so, try moving to a different usb port, preferably at the rear of the pc, or try different cable or even different pc. If still no luck, try uninstalling and then re-installing the latest version of Activesync.

The White Screen issue sounds like the incorrect radio version for the rom. I'm not familar with the details of the particular rom, but there are certain rom/radio combinations that will do that if they do not match eg running a 2.10 based rom with a x.xx.51.xx radio. The phone works intially until a reset and then hangs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korenbloem:
Thanks for the replay

I tried, flashing by activesync. i flashed it the first time by hspl (the tread you link to) and then by activesync. But like i said, the hd2 stops at a white screen, so i tried by every possible way i could think of. Also i tried task 39 by the tool you mention, but it still does not work.

But i will correct my ts.

- I installed the windows mobile on windows 7, and tried the same as in windows xp, and still the same results.

Then i tried flashing every rom from the site by the sd-method (after every bad flash i formatted the sd-card with fat32)

With the sd method the phone stocked at 99% and then gives the next images:

IS there any one how has a solution for this problem
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viperd:
Ok....try from the beginning!

1.Get from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433 HSPL2_RUN.zip (extract the content in a folder named hspl ).2

2. For Windows 7 you need Windows Mobile Device Center ( WMDC ) NOT ActiveSync!! Get it here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx

3. Make sure in WMDC settings the USB connection is checked!

4. Take out your battery....insert it again! Start your phone while keeping pressed the Vol Down button! This will get you into bootloader! The screen should display USB on the lower part of the screen! (evidently connected to computer )

5. Flash HSPL2 select 2.08 version

6. Use that tool I recommended earlier.....http://xdaforums.com/show...3&postcount=19

7. Enter again the bootloader and flash a Radio ROM ( try 2.08.50.xx ) via WMDC!

8. Flash either NRGZ 21898 or Cleanex 21898 versions ( I recommend these in particular because they work with the radio mentioned above and are also stable ROMs ).

P.S. Take out your SD card and SIM card while performing all these steps!

Hope you will solve it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korenbloem:
Thanks for the advise

I did every step. The first problem is: WMDC doest say there is a connection, while windows 7 say there is a connection also i see usb in the lower part of the screen.

In the same sequence as you right above. the hspl2 says it worked fine, but when i reset the boatlooder still says it has hspl 1.42 in stead of 2.08. The tool you recommended did't start. and says update error.

do you know something else i could do (or anyone else)

Because you tried to fix it flashing a 'original rom?' from sd I think I know what's your problem.

Did you use a Dutch shipped rom while trying to fix or a WWE one?

If you flash a shipped rom from storage card it restores the original SPL and removes HSPL !

Try flashing a Dutch shipped rom one more time from storage card, it will restore the original SPL made for your device.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laurentius26:
@Korenbloem,

A simple hardreset would have fixed your issue as well. :(

Instead of all kind of panic experiments like mtty/ flashing radios/roms from sd you could have come to me and I would have helped you.

You flashed a very old rom from the rom archive but never the less that rom is intensivily tested by me and the beta team.

I have no idea what kind of software you installed/tweaks you did or anything else but also with installing the wrong software it could cause the rom not to boot anymore.

Sorry to tell you but these 'bricking' stories are mostly caused by unexperiened users and it

making me sad to see more people are opening threads like this blaming a rom and causing a panic reaction in public destroying our work.

I realy hope you fix your device and I will try to help you but this isn't a rom issue.
