[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
did you include the system_default_fonts from the sys?

23112 built ok for me, except some oddities with the htc lockscreen, not seen 23113 yet
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xaoc747:
Problem still! Please help!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] monx®:
sorry to ask. why u like 23113 build? 23557 is better with new features.

i got caller id problem with this build but it can be resolved by using phoneredist package from other build. i cant see any avantage of WM6.5.3 over 6.5.5 :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mc4ren:
I'm trying to increase battery life of my Diamond when I use it as GPS device for mountain biking. I use the great GPS Cycle Computer software. Usually maps are already in the phone, so I disable map downloading.

But even so, the device won't last more than 3 hours (actually not even 2 hours). I was thinking that an external GPS, connected by Bluetooth could be helpful? Instead of receiving GPS signal, the Diamond would use Bluetooth connection. Will it last for more?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nickschot:
Not sure if bluetooth uses less than the gps chip.

You could also look into the huge 3000mAh battery available somewhere. Its around 60 usd I think.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rhodium500:
It is the fact that your phone is constantly processing data. Try standby mode to increase battery life
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mmm.333:
Bluetooth uses less power than GPS, as it is just receiving a signal, and not doing all the leg work of searching for satellites etc. You can get a good Bluetooth GPS from eBay for about £10 which you can charge with your Diamond's charger.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bikram:
Rogers (in Canada) is coming up with this phone this week. Who is picking up which color? I can't decide, lets see which is the most popular one :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Black, of course. The white one doesn't have a rubberized panel at the back. My tip is for you to try both of them out before you buy one. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] neoblast:
yea ill take black too.
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
the white one has the same back panel as the black. slightly sparkly pearl white kind of colour with the same texture as the black.
[XPERIA X10 General] ronj1986:
sign me up for the WHITE one, whenever I can get it with ATT 3G for $650 or less!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
What? It doesn't have the same back panel in Sweden. :confused: Edit: The white one has a glossy back panel while the black one has a rubberized back panel and isn't glossy at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
the white one i saw in the UK orange store had a matte white back cover....
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
hmm looking at pictures of the white one in the phonearena review it certainly seems glossy. the one i saw might have been different cos it was a dummy unit
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Strange... The ones I've tested has a glossy back cover. :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Nick-name:
Well, there's things that never will be right I know,

And things need changin' everywhere you go,

But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,

You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Or a phone ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] boo6:
I'll never wear a white suit, but I love my white one .. *lol*

In Germany they have glossy backs.

But it would be easy to change it, if it becomes scrached or arubberized would become available.
[XPERIA X10 General] Vin87:
I have a white X10 and a friend of mine has a black one, I really love the white version and although you may think the white one is very hard to keep clean the black one is actually the fingerprint magnet. The white one just keeps looking clean :) . The backpanel of the black one is indeed rubberized and the white one has a glossy backpanel (at least here in the Netherlands):
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
I can confirm that my white one from orange has a glossy plastic back cover. It is not rubberised and doesn't offer as much grip in the hand.

However it still feels good in the hand. It also came completely free of any branding. No logos on the device no operator start-up screens or up apps, just the APNS.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
white for me
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
My Missus reckons that the white ones are targetted at Girls... (I thought it looked good in white 'til she said that!!)
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
at first i didnt like the white one but its grown on me. However the ALS is a bit ugly, black dot on top of the screen. Plus even though it looked nice, i thought the black one looked more professional (i wear suits a lot). Oh well, no regrets. Love the phone!
[XPERIA X10 General] TheDarkRealm:
Im glad I didnt have to make that choice, in the UK the only network to have the white one is Orange, and I dont get a signal at home with them, so black it was...

Might be a fingerprint magnet but it sure is pretty
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Heh, it has a touchscreen. What did you expect? :D
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
yea its a real pity they dint add an oleophobic coating to the screen. any of you guys know of a screen protector that has said coating?

From the pictures i thought the X10 looked really ugly. The Nexus One, Milestone, and Desire looked so sleek in pictures. But after seeing the X10 in real life i changed my mind about the looks. Photos dont seem to do it justice.I thought the angles and angled surfaces look bulky and clunky in the pictures, but when u have it in your hand its great!
[XPERIA X10 General] uayxela:
I bought the black one because thinking of long term the white one in my opinion will discolor over time; so you may get a "off" white color in 10 - 12 months time.

However, I do like the white one because I don't think there many white phone around which would make this phone unique.
[Desire General] off_d:
Hello !

Initially i imported all my contacts from my gmail account. I also imported contacts from facebook and also linked them to the same people from my gmail contacts.

i create a new contact in gmail with phone info etc... it syncs it correctly to my desire... i edit the contact in gmail and updates it correctly (with the new info, emails etc.)

so far so good...

i then create a new contact in my desire... i input a photo and a phone number (mobile)... i save it and it updates my gmail account correctly (i test it by logging in to my account from my pc)...

the problem comes when i try to edit that contact from the desire. i edit with new fields, for example email and birthday, i save it, and it never updates it to my gmail account... stays on the phone ok, updated, but never gets updated in the gmail contacts...

anyone experiencing the same thing ???

thanx...
[Desire General] JCLB:
Do you still have this problem if you disable facebook merging ?

I will be able to test as soon as I get mine (probably on Wednesday)
[Desire General] off_d:
Don't know. I don't think there is a way to stop it. Only to stop sync.
[Desire General] zippyioa:
Hi off_d,

Just tested and get exactly the same, so its not just you!

Sync appears to work fine on contacts made in GMail online, as does editing those contacts (either online or on the Desire).

If you create a contact on the Desire it syncs fine initially, but any edits done on the Desire after that don't sync with the online one. Oddly any edits done on the online version seem to make it to the Desire though!

Not noticed this before, but its a big problem if you create a lot if contacts on your phone!
[Desire General] zippyioa:
Ok, been playing with this a bit more and it seems to work now, most of the time at least.

It definitely appears to miss some changes!

Occasionally I edited on the Desire, syncd, checked online - no change, then syncd again, still no change online BUT the Desires version had changed back to the original (possibly as a result of copying the online version when it syncd?)

Definitely a bit odd!
[Desire General] off_d:
exactly the same thing happened to me now. after i read your message i tested such situation...

my Desire contact had initially one mobile number and a foto... it updated my gmail contacts nicely... i edited again and added in the Desire an email and a birthday.. it never got updated online.... i then added a new email address online (on gmail) to that contact (the one i created on desire) and then all of a sudden it updates on the Desire. but it deletes the old email (the one i had inserted on the Desire), it deletes the birthday field (which also had inserted on the Desire) and it inserts instead the new email (which was added online).

very very strange... is it a Desire thing or is it a gmail thing ? is this happening with other androids as well or not ? anyhow, it needs to get fixed ASAP because being able to add contacts to your mobile is ESSENTIAL, as well as editing them. and being able to back them up online is also essential.

update: i edited a contact already on my Desire (which was added on my first boot from my initial gmail synchronization)... i changed their name and it updated perfectly within seconds on the gmail contacts online !!! hmm, is it maybe something to do with particular fields not being able to update ?
[Desire General] zarch:
I read on a dutch forum that somebody thought it had to do with editing birthdays. I haven't tested it yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmerlin10:
Hi,

does anyone know if there is anything that would enable receiving calls by pressing trackball? I think it would be very useful as quite often I simply have trouble to receive call by swiping the unlock on the screen (especially when I am outside - skiing etc.). The trackball is pretty "hard" to press so I am not concerned about it being pressed automatically.

On top, it would be great to be able to wake the phone up by pressing trackball (i.e. emulate the power button).

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhavalg:
hi there

one thing can be solved.

nexus one can be turned by pressing the track ball.

install the cyanogen mod latest software, there is an option of waking up the phone by pressing the track ball.

but still cant answer the call by pressing the track ball.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmerlin10:
Yep, know about the wake up option but still nobody able to enable answering the call?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ATeam-MrT:
I am an unlucky guy - I lost my 4 months old Magic 32A last week in the train - and unfortunatly the finder was not honest enough to return it. I was really very happy with it, I don't care too much about gaming so the tech specs were fine - the only thing I was missing was a built in 3.5mm head phone jack.

Now I am looking for a replacement. As it seems to be impossible to buy a new 32A for a reasonable price in Austria, I am looking for a Hero, I could get a brand new one (white) for EUR 299,- So far so good, I don't want to spend more money, but when I started to read some reviews, I noticed that even though it should be technically similar to the 32A, the reception quality was rated quite bad, same for the sound quality. Is this true? Is there anyone who upgraded from 32A to Hero who is not happy with the Hero now? I also loved to flash new ROMs to my 32A, is this also possible with the latest Hero?

Thanks for your help and advises...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pauliusba:
At first I was afraid to get any of these devices because of the sound quality. Magic has cut-off base and Hero has uneven frequency response. But I gave Hero a shot and I was pleasantly surprised. While the audio quality is not stunning with my porta pros, it is good. I would suggest trying it first with your fav earphones.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ATeam-MrT:
Thanks for your response! Could you please also comment on the 3G reception quality? How comes that all the reviews tell so bad stories, but the majority if the user ratings is quite good? Could it be that all the radio updates have improved the reception?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Steven__:
I think the Hero has indeed massively improved since its original release. There have been many patches and updates, both to the ROM and the radio. However, I still think it's reception is a little bit weak; it's hard to know for sure since I was comparing with people on different networks, but one of them had had my network before and said they usually weren't getting signal blackouts. (We were in the middle of nowhere so any signal was considered good :P) All that said, I live in a big city and don't have any problems with it normally.

However, to be honest, I wouldn't buy a Hero now. The Hero was the last of the old generation of Android phones, with a slower processor and smaller screen. It'd be much better to buy one of the new phones like the Nexus One or the HTC Desire, though I don't know how much more that would cost.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bonesy:
i went from a magic (32B) to a hero,the reception is better on my hero and after the problems with downgrading and stuff to get it rooted i love flashing new phone!

Personal opinion i prefer the look of the hero over every other phone but thats just me
[Hero, G2 Touch General] immya:
if you really want a hero then i suggest looking around for a better deal

300 euros is a lot for a hero, i brought my hero 7 months back for 260

you can pick up a new one on ebay for around 200-230 buy it now

Please help me how to reset my phone. i have wm6.5 then i install htc keypad + keyboard, then when i reset the phone, only smart mobility appears on the screen and nothings happen... please help.. i really need my phone...i try to connect it to my laptop but it is always not connected maybe because it stop on opening screen and after a while lines appears.. does anyone knows how to super reset the phone without any pc syncronization.. cannot detected... please please help ..thanks in advance....
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] GFX:
Looks like you need to hard reset your phone. Follow the instructions in this link:

http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_viva_opal_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

And don't try to install HTC keyboard or keypad on WM6.5 ROMs because they need to be bundled with the ROM by a chef. Try using "Finger Keyboard" instead.

Good luck..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] glumardok:
Hi, there!

Like many others, I have only recently switched from WM6.5 to Android (with my new HTC Desire).

WM 6 introduced the possibility to encrypt the SD Card, making it only readable in the PPC it was originally encrypted in. I found this a very helpful tool and had bought a respective app from Spritesoft. Unfortunately, their Android software is still in the beginning status, and therefore, I bought yesterday the app from WaveSecure.

I was surprised, however, that they do not offer an encryption for the SD card as I know it from my old TyTN II.

Is anybody here who can advice - tweak, app, or whatever?

I mean, it's nice to secure the phone - but the sensible data are being stored in files on the SD card in the end. And if you lose your device, it may well be broke, but the SD card lives and cannot be wyped in a broken device either.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LondonDweller:
I couldn't agree more. There are a few applications that either offer individual file passwords, which is not very secure, or just offer encryption of its own text files, like OI Safe. I used to use a commercial application on Windows Mobile, Sentry 2020, which allowed you to create a an encrypted volume within your storage, internal or external. This was ideal, as it allowed you to store any kind of files in this. After a timeout period, the volume was automatically closed and your files were secure. It is a shame that the last activity in Sentry's website is in 2007.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] murdocha:
I should be receiving a desire very shortly and am very concerned by the current lack of device level encryption.

Does anyone know if there are any products in development that will soon allow device encryption?

Is the hardware and OS itself capable of supporting full device encryption?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htclerman:
hi, i want to reopen this issue because today i asked myself the same question.

i have tested several apps but most of them are not useable for a large number of files or folders.... what we really need is a secret partition and something like truecrypt.... i didn´t find anything in the net... so if somebody has an idea or solution for that, i would be happy...

thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kourier:
did you encounter anything using AES/Rijndael or at least Blowfish or Twofish algorithm? I need something to encrypt single files/folders only. TIA!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htclerman:
Do you speak about apps?

If yes, there is nothing out there

I know that is working fast with a big number of files. There must be an option to encrypt a whole partition,

That's the only thing that would make sense.

Claims to support encryption, kind of complicated through.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] strazzere:
With the ability to put apps on the SDCard this is going to be an unlikely feature to work well....

Your best bet is looking for something with a good remote wipe/lock feature.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adwinp:
If you have a partition formatted with ext2/3/4, it's only a matter of copying over static binaries of lvm, device-mapper and cryptsetup, and creating a script called via initrc or controlled via /etc/init.d

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I) La Build 21056 è una WM 6.1 stabile. La versione Restyling non ha il classico Menu Start che ha il WM 6.1 originale ma quello che si vede in alto nella prima immagine. Lo trovo molto comodo. Monta integrato il Manila 2.5

En) 21056 is a stable WM 6.1 Build. Restyling Rom version has'nt the classic Start menu that has the original WM 6.1 Rom, but what you see above in the first image in the White Image. I find it very convenient. Is integrated Manila 2.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I) La Build 21884 è WM 6.5 veramente stabile. Anche qui la versione Restyling non ha il classico Menu Start che ha WM 6.5 come puoi vedere nella prima immagine in alto. Lo trovo molto comodo. Inoltre, questa versione Rom non ha Office 2010 incluso, ma il sottoscritto gliel’ha schiaffato senza problemi. Anche questa Rom integra Manila 2.5

En) 21884 is a really stable WM 6.5 Build. Even here the version Restyling has the classic Start menu that has WM 6.5 as you can see the first image above. I find it very convenient. Moreover, this version has no Office 2010 including, but slapped it to him myself without problems. Also this ROM integrates Manila 2.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I) Per ultimo, la versione 23554 è comunemente chiamata WM 6.5 anche se in realtà e una beta 7.

In questa non ho implementato il Menu Comodo, ma ho lasciato quello originale WM 6.5. Ha suo originale Office 2010, che ho estrapolato e messo nella 21884. Non poteva mancare nemmeno in questa il Manila 2.5

En) Finally, the 23554 version is commonly referred to WM 6.5 although in reality and a beta 7.

In this Rom, I've not implemented the Confortable Menu, but I left the original WM 6.5. Office 2010 has its original, which I identified and put in in the 21884 Build.

Could not miss even in this the Manila 2.5.

21884 is mine. After several tries i have chosen it.

Restyle is not so good but it's ok. In every rom James i have the same problem: in start menu (restyled in that case) i have 4 icon HTC_Calendar, Twitter etc. I cancel them but they return every time i reboot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fanguru:
i'm trying 23557.

2 things IMHO could be added in future releases: grouped folders of progs (theres too many links in start menu) and a task manager to really close open apps (maybe instead of useless curtain that opens by clicking the clock [I really like the x2 taskmanager from SE experia])

Hi james!

I'm italian like you,i'm reading with interest about your rom's and i need some information:

I need a Rom Stable and fast,i don't need some "artistic" or complicated rom,only a software that i can use for business use (link to microsoft exchange server,office and very important,TOMTOM).

Also very important is number of contacts that rom can manage,becouse i have more or less 5000 contact in my address book and i need a rom that remain fast with this number of contact.

Wich one of your creation do you consider best for me?one with wm 6,1(that i already use ,created by Monx,which are stable simple and fast) or one with wm 6.5?

thank you!

Ciao James,sono italiano come te.

Leggo con molto interesse delle tue rom ed ho bisogno di alcune informazioni.

Ho bisogno di una Rom stabile e veloce,non ho bisogno di qualcosa di artistico o complicato solo una rom che posso usare per lavoro(connessione a microsoft exchange,office e molto importante TOMTOM)

è altrettanto importante la gestione dei contatti visto che ne ho quasi 5000 e mi serve una rom che non si impalli quando li gestisco(come fanno altre)

Quale delle tue "creazioni"consideri valida per me?quelle con windows 6,1 (che già uso però create da monx che fa rom semplici e veloci) o le 6,5?

Grazie per le risposte!
