[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamirza:
sequence

supposidely you have rooted the hero. its usually radio first and then the rom. radio actually can be changed before the rooting as well, if i'm not wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HomerSp:
The only way you can brick your phone is during a radio or recovery flash (which you won't be doing very often).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ettore2379:
Can I update radio with my Original HTC 1.5 installed? What will it change?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido.ardes:
Only with an official update. I meant after you installed a custom ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ettore2379:
Understood. Custom Rom first. Radio update then. Right? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido.ardes:
You go it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ettore2379:
If I wish, could I return from Villain to original 1.5 to receive 2.1 update from HTC in June? How?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Just run the exe for your carrier (from HTC website)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] vwsport69:
I have been looking through these forums for a while now and cant seem to find any customization for the sense 2.1. I have a touch pro2 with verizon so it is not updated to sense 2.5 yet. Is the only way to customize clocks and shortcuts on hometab by flashing your rom. I see there is maxmanila for the sense 2.5 but is there anything like this for 2.1? Thanks for the help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] drewcam888:
Shortcuts can't happen with 2.1. But you can change clocks. Just find a 2.1 clock you like and install

I have begun reaching beyond my continuation of S.V.I's great Angel ROMs and will start looking to WM6.5 and 6.5.x ROMs.

I will be standing on the shoulders of Cracing's work with CR96 ROMs.

I add Smartskey, QuickMenu and xTask. I update to dotFred TaskManager version 3.3 too.

Some notes:

At home screen, left soft key is Start. Quickly tap image or touch left soft key and the honeycomb start menu comes up. Long press the left soft key and QuickMenu comes up.

With the honeycomb menu showing you can long press the right soft key and it will close, but not permanently like it used to. I figured out the exception for smartskey.

My ROM parses SDAUTO without SDAutoRun, but you need to make this change. Copy SDConfig.txt to SDAUTO folder and rename to Config.txt. Edit the file to remove HIDE:, RESET, LOCK, etc. Change CAB: to MCAB: without a space after to allow manual install of the cab. Change CAB: to SCAB: without a space after to allow automatically selecting to install the cab to the storage card.

If you do not create a Config.txt under SDAUTO, my ROM will parse the SDConfig.txt in the root, but it will ignor the LOCK and HIDE commands so all of your cabs will install automatically where ever they install by default.

In most of my ROMS I have started to use the Extended_ROM for more stuff to install. I have not done that with Cracing's. BUT, if you have a Config.txt in your Extended_ROM it will get parsed. I suggest you use the ROM with the empty ExtROM included. If you do not want to overwrite your ExtROM I include a version with no ExtROM.

I haved switched to Connection setup so...

Connection Setup, Data Base Cabs

15.0144 : Link ( From Topaz 1.43.720.1 ROM ) ( Taken from Indian Device, STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR INDIAN USERS )

15.0137 : Link ( From Topaz 1.40.707.1 ROM )

Note #1: Connection Setup don't work without installing the data base cab.

Note #2: Install the latest version data base cab and use the connection setup from settings -> connections.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
1.9 m2d rom

From Cracing's CR96 Touch HD thread.

This is Cracing's ROM from the kitchen he posted, the only things I changed are listed above.

Later I will be tweaking to improve anything I can if it is possible. Right now it looks to have 17 to 18 MB RAM free and about 35 MB Memory free.

Here are the final versions. Sorry the best I can do is still 16 to 18 MB RAM.

I did update some things and added Adobe Reader, so I took out the games.

Another spare
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
And another
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] costyg:
can you tell us more about the rom? what programs have, how much free ram?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] n2rjt:
Good job, RoryB!

I have been busy, but will try your ROM.

My real interest is the RC5 kitchen, since RC5 is my all-time favorite 6.5 ROM.

I can do little things, like update the apps, but I've always struggled when trying to update OS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
I have played a bit with this released version. Cannot seem to get more RAM. I have tweaked a few things in and out. Probably will release a final version next week.

Will skip Extendir for now since it is in flux at the moment.

So, I will start looking at Cracing's other kitchen release. Version 6.5.0.3.3 RC5 Reloaded
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gracco:
You can build a multi-language ROM with the Italian language? I also want to learn it yourself but I need help. If you want I can help with the translation into Italian.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
I apologize. I do not know how to build for other languages and my kitchen is manual. I mean it is not visual kitchen where you can select languages. You have to put the correct OEM and ROM folders into the batch to build different languages.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
I have RC5 in post 3
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] n2rjt:
It has some interesting changes.

At first glance, I think I like the original look better. CRACING always gave the roms a look that could pass for an official rom, and I liked that. Yet some of the new things are useful. So it's a trade-off.

Battery bar: useful

Memory bar: useful

Quickmenu: Useful, but it makes me pull out my stylus.

Smartskey: excellent! CRACING used to include this, but stopped when it had problems with 6.5. I'd rather it start the 6.5 menu instead of quickmenu.

Icons of running programs: handy way to switch tasks, but clogs the top bar, and not touch friendly. Alttab is better.

Digital display of free memory: seems redundant to me.

Task manager change: I like the old one better.

File Manager: I don't like the change in the folder selector.

Seems to have decent free RAM. I wonder what it would be without the add-ons.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] n2rjt:
I see that most of the new things I commented on are configurable parts of the newer task manager. I think I could grow to like it :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
I tend to create basic black ROMs.

QuickMenu can be configured to have larger items to be more finger friendly.

If you exit QuickMenu, Smartskey long press left will open the honeycomb. Old version start menu does not seem to exist in WM6.5

Yeah I am still thinking of going back to the older version of dotFred's task manager. It seemed cleaner in a way. Delete fexplorer.exe and the original should come up (I think)

xTask can be configured to not show the digital memory readout.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] costyg:
I'm using CRACING's rom Version 6.5.0.3.3 RC5 Reloaded and while using opera mini 5 it stops, it takes 10+ seconds to work again. This happends often, in your rom opera freezes? In another rom this didn't ocured.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RoryB:
I used UCWEB instead of Opera. Are you running low on memory before it stops?

Can you try closing M2D and CHome to see if Opera still gives trouble.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] costyg:
I closed M2D and Chome and nothing changed. I like the rom, is very fast but the opera problem is annoying. Nobody else experienced this strange behaviour in opera mini final version?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] costyg:
I found another bug in CRACING's rom: I can't set the alarm clock to AM or PM. LE, I fixed that. The problem was that I changed the regional settings to romanian and there wasn't checked the symbol for AM and PM.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
People beware!!!

This failure X2 corrupts memory cards!

Completely corrputs the content!

Sooner or later you’ll also encounter this –

confirmed by many other users!

So if you still decide to use this unreliable piece of failure,

be sure to make backups!!!!
[XPERIA X2 General] coloboxp:
Indeed,

I lost 7Gb aprox of very valuable stuff, like source code, documentation, photos, charts, music, software, video, backups, and so on.. :mad:

I think i may found the pattern (kind of) because after the first corrupted memory it happend to me seeeeeveral times...

Its like if i start an app (lets say a game) that uses a lot of resources, the game is laggy and somehow it closes OR you use another app on the same time that is installed on the SD, like they crash by sharing some kind of resource... im not quite sure but at least two times after "playing" (i quote it because its mega laggy) i saw my Program Files folder EMPTY...

At least this time it doesnt f*** the whole card..
[XPERIA X2 General] indycar:
i wonder why OP hasnt posted a single good thing bout x2

i owe it and im quite satisfied with it it hass some things that need to be fixed but otherwise i like it

the only problem i have with it is that loses the sd card sometimes but as i read its the card problem (default one that came with it) its class2 (cheap $#"$#!%%&Z&#&"%%""% provider)
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
indycar: You are terrible wrong! The card problem issue is the X2 problem NOT card! I try a lot of cards (differents manufacturer, size, class). The point is, that X2 automatically turn off card when you stand by device and it turn on when you wake up X2 again. I´m thinking, that this should be a "feature" to increase power managing capabilities...
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well I wrote many good things about it before.

With a decent firmware it'a decent device and the best choice!!!!!!

But current firmware is a massacre confirmed by all users so no reason for good words....

The memory card problem is completely independent from the card, happened to me with both cards!!!
[XPERIA X2 General] chuinkee:
Another victim of memory card corruption. the whole content of the memory card just dissappear like*poof*. and the symtoms looks the same. system became incredably laggy all of the sudden. reboot the device and "watch your past disappear" (adapted from STFirst Contact when Borg Queen says "Watch your future ends")...

[XPERIA X2 General] rsx19:
the weird thing about my card is that only SOME things disappeared, i had several folders on my card little by little they disappeared but the files that werent in folders stayed and never got deleted, thought the card itself did not gain/lose any memory.
[XPERIA X2 General] 3aZoOoF:
my card is fine .. nothing happened
[XPERIA X2 General] ring-bearer:
You corrupted people should try some file recovery software to recover your card content. There are plenty of free recovery programs on the internet. You'd have to stick your card into your computer and run the software on the disk. Report back if you get it to work because if could help others.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Most of my content was backed up so I will not hassle with this.

However I would love to know how to eventually format the card to

to not to slow it down...
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
This whole X2 case reminds me of N97 when it was introduced. Truly 'spooky' phone :(
[XPERIA X2 General] Avarell_Dalton:
My card is also from today one of those who messes up. My files does not get deleted but when browsing the card from the phone it sometimes contains perhaps two out of the folders, sometimes the files is there (i guess) but folder and file names seams renamed. A look at the card on my computer shows every file/folder/file name intact.
[XPERIA X2 General] hertell:
Guys,

You who had the SD-card corrupted, did you install any applications on it that you use frequently?
[XPERIA X2 General] Avarell_Dalton:
As you might have read, my card only looked corrupted in the phone file explorer but yes, I installed every application on the card. Most used is S2P and Pocket player and of course all my music used by the apps mentioned.

If running S2P listening to music,the app suddenly halts. I then shuts S2P down and starts file explorer to see what happened the card looks partially deleted or all folder and file names corrupted (mounting the card on PC shows no errors at all).

In the beginning I had Outlook save incoming mail on card but as the card disconnects outlook creates a folder, Storage Card in root of phone. That creates a problem when the phone mounts the card again since it gets named Storage Card2 instead. That messes up all short cuts created by me or phone to the applications installed at the card.

I use card pre packed with phone and I see no reason to try another since others here reports no difference when replacing card.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
The moment my card got corrputed

I quit using X2 completely.

I've seen no sense in further struggling and

I also have no time for that.

Why the question?

MR2 also screws it?!
[XPERIA X2 General] bedlam_au:
TLDR: Don't install programs or attachments on your storage card.

I am now 100% certain that power management is behind the disappearing storage card issue, and is a culprit in a number of other bugs. It looks like when you put the device into standby, it switches off power to a number of components.

It's easy to see what happens with the storage card if you use SPB Mobile Shell. There's a handy shortcut under Tools - Browse Files - Storage Card. If you put that shortcut on your home screen and come out of standby, you'll usually see the icon return to the default unassigned shortcut. After anywhere between a fraction of and many seconds, the SD card icon will reappear.

Seems like some genius engineer at Foxconn, not knowing much about WinMo or stuff in general thought he was being very clever by saving what, 10mA? in shutting it off. Think of all those extra minutes of standby time saved.

I too suffered from a corrupted FAT, but thankfully all I really lost was MP3s I already had elsewhere. Since I figured out what's going on, I've had no trouble whatsoever. It does of course mean that I've had to make yet more compromises in the functionality of the device. The key is to make sure not to install programs on the storage card, or if you must, make sure the phone doesn't go into standby while running them. Also, don't choose to store email and MMS attachments on the card, or you'll get the Storage Card2 problem.

Stupid power management also explains these other things that have been bothering me, and many of you:

Notification sounds and lights not working properly.

Sporadic checking of email.

Custom ringtones disappearing (Hint: put them on main memory).

The phone randomly freezing when trying to work with Bluetooth car kits.

Presumably Sony engineers are aware of this, because if they aren't, God help us. I'm guessing that power management is such a low level issue that it's very difficult to fix with firmware if at all. That being the case, I'm not confident this phone will ever work properly and has most likely sounded the death knell for me for both Sony Ericsson and WinMo.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
@bedlam_au

You may be right about power management.

That may be the answer.

Before my card corruption when I was entering SlideView

I always saw it REFRESHING media content,

like looking for it again and again....
[XPERIA X2 General] ultrashot:
have you tried it?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend]
"shc1:"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming]
"shc1:"=dword:00000000

We have been testing it with my friend for a while (since 24th of april) and he hasn't got any storage card problems after applying this *.reg. He had them every time before that.
[XPERIA X2 General] bedlam_au:
@ultrashot: I think you've done it! Changed those keys and didn't even need to soft reset. I've been checking all day and haven't seen the storage card disappear once. Presumably it's going to stay that way.

Does someone feel like making up a cab for this? It'd make many people's day.
[XPERIA X2 General] ultrashot:
bedlam_au, ;)
[XPERIA X2 General] Low_Down:
Thanx, i'll try it now. Hope you guys have right

[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
Unbelievable! X2 SDFix.cab works! I´m testing this for one day and no card missing!

Good work guys!
[XPERIA X2 General] bazsikar:
3 days without the smallest incident with memory card! Excellent, many thanks for sharing!
[XPERIA X2 General] PowerNight:
My phone didn't crash since then. Maybe this was the core problem! I will test more and report back...
[XPERIA X2 General] fadi.b:
work excellent, thx for sharing
[XPERIA X2 General] amdx2:
thanks for this, i will try it now and nope it works cuz sick of losing stuff
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
I too saw no crashes so far since applying this fix. Increased battery usage is not noticeable either.
[XPERIA X2 General] mickryan:
Another way of doing this is to use Advanced Configuration Tool by Julien Schapman.

Under Power Management group you can select to Enable or Disable SD Memory power management and MMC Memory.

I have disabled both and have not had any loss of SD memory for 2 weeks now.
[XPERIA X2 General] BRAIN_STEW:
what version of Advanced Configuration Tool, i can only find V3.3 but that was released back in 2008. is there a newer version?
[XPERIA X2 General] ultrashot:
it isn't totally the same, some people had sd failures even with this option enabled.
[XPERIA X2 General] filip210189:
i did the regedit, but as my card is currently corrupted i have to format it first, has anyone succeeded in doing that cause I don't have card reader so I need to do with some phone software...anyone did that successfully?
[XPERIA X2 General] mickryan:
Brain Stew,

The version of Advanced Config I used was 3.3.0.0.

Apparantly some people have not had the same success as me with this solution and their phones are still crashing so would suggest you go for the cab in the original posts as everyone has reported success using that method. Good luck because I know how frustrating as ****, it is to lose everything on your card.

Off topic a bit, but out of interest does anyone know of any software that performs a backup, encrypt and compress of the SD card contents that then get uploaded and stored on a website or copied to the phone and PC's shared network folder??

thanks,

M
[XPERIA X2 General] lock3k:
try this

hey all

i want you to know that i had a memory loss in x2, i recovered my data and you may try this:

format your memory card with Fat32 but not on 32Kbytes

go for little allocation unit size.

i did on 4096 bytes. just like NTFS default.

you can't believe that my battery usage go for 2days normal usage instead of JUST ONE DAY
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
would applying the patch drain the battery life?
[XPERIA X2 General] yummy-fun:
don't worry

this has happened to me before as well. and when this happened, did it just leave a few "it" files? if so don't format your card just use you phone normally and all your old files will return i promise. if your worried about all your old files (and in my case precious pictures and licenses) it all returned.
[XPERIA X2 General] nguyennghiep:
After load MR2 ,I have the same trouble my X2 some time doesn't see my SD Card,I have to reset , so can you teach me how to fix that , I'm not good on Computer ,please tell me how can I find [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend]

Thanks you very much
[XPERIA X2 General] Razzino:
Simply install this SDFix:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=318784&d=1272703548

(copy it in X2 and, from file explorer, run it)

It makes the same thing of registry manual edit.
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
I just changed the language from CZ to EN.

I loaded a bunch of songs and games to the memory card.

Took a bunch of pics etc.. . .

About 16 hrs later I wanted to take a picture. It said "no memory card present."

So I restarted the phone and it went to the white SONY logo screen, the same screen when you do the software update.

So I had to pull the battery out and restart the phone yet again.

The memory card was recognized.

Does anyone think that I need to apply the DSfix.cab? Or was this just a fluke?

Again I have just started to use this phone and do not have much experience with it yet.

Thanks,

xwing
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
Just applied the SDFix.cab and now I cannot save any pics to the memory card!!! HELP!!!

I loaded the cab on the mem card.

Went to start>file explorer>storage card>sdfix and executed.

I restarted the phone, deleted the sdfix.cab from my mem card and now I cannot save ANY pics or videos!!!

Edit:

Ok I just had to delete the DCIM folder on the memory card. and now everything is fine.

I hope there will be no more problems!?!?!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Since I installed SDcardFix I never had problem with memory card.
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
Have not experienced the mem card issue since the mem card fix!!!

Now it ts the battery. Keeps draining really fast. I was thinking about turning off the 3g on the phone since it cannot get the T-Mobil proprietary signal anyways.

I also have been keeping up with the thread on the battery issue but am afraid to do anything with the registry as I have no experience.

Any ideas?
[XPERIA X2 General] ultrashot:
SDfix simply

couldn't

affect saving photos on sdcard. It doesn't do anything related to drivers/file system, it only fixes powersaving in registry (actually all these options are invisible at application level).
[XPERIA X2 General] indycar:
does this count as corrupt SD card

PS no probs with sd card except sometimes dissapears (before mr2) and no sdfix installed

this happened when i disabled slideview and panle manager
[XPERIA X2 General] amk:
look like system font missing. card error disappear if you install sdfix cab or multi cab fix...
[XPERIA X2 General] indycar:
just did chkdsk (check disk) and windows created "found.000" dir with quite lots of files in it

its long since i got this on any pc so im kinda lost hehe

probably that thing is just crosslinked files

I had a similar problem with the file names on the car after I installed a program that was supposed to speed-up the card access. Luckely, when I removed the program, all went back to normal ...
