Greetings All,

Well after 1 1/2 days of searching with no help or guidenance from anyone, (Sorry but alittle annoyed that no one likes to help, but I'll get over it) I managed to wrap up a hotfix for our SMS problem with lagging and not beng able to txt. I am currently testing this to see how it is working, and so far, on an install level it went without a hitch.

This is not a fix for a noob, I STRONGLY suggest noobs do not attempt this hotfix, I am not responsible for bricking, crashing, loss of data, or frying of your phone! I assume no responsiblitly and if you attempt this you are doing so with knowing the risks that come with this!

Now since that is out of the way:

This hotfix is actually the last hotfix for the HD2 that was dated 1/24/2010. As far as I know the last fix corrected the issue of being able to txt while the thread loaded in the background, and since Seppi the good soul came up with migrating the fix to tp2 but was a much older version (1.5.2011.2130) I decided I wasnt waiting for HTC and decided to take their HD2 hotfix and do the same thing Seppi did and here it is.

HotFix Compatability:

All 2.07.40x Manila 2.5 Roms. NOT COMPATABILE WITH ANY PRIOR OR FUTURE ROMS. All Languages Supported.

You Have to turn off Manila by going to Settings/All Settings/Today/Items and pick windows default. Also make SURE HTC messaging is not running or the hotfix will not install.

It will ask you to install either on the Device or SDCard. MUST BE INSTALLED ON DEVICE.

Fixes: (2)

1) Fixes the SMS lag we all have been dealing with and not being able to type as the whole thread loads. Now SMS's load in background.

2) So Far fixes the loss of contact picture, this is due to a resetting of the phone and associates SMS's to sim card and loses association with phone contact.

Known Bugs: (3)

1) Same as in the HD2 at times the screen when rotating from landscape to portrait might mix up the last line where the last line and the one above it merge, going back to landscape corrects this. Does not happen from portrait to landscape.

2) All prior SMS's might not associate with the corresponding phone contacts.

3) This MAY reset your MMS settings and will need to re-enter MMS info. based on your service provider. You can reach this by tabing to Msgs/All msgs/Menu/Settings/Options/Menu/MMS Server. Select SampleMMSC to change your settings Manually.

Or going to Settings/All Settings/Connections/Connections Setup and going through the wizard again.

Notes:

I have attached two files, One is a direct install with no way to uninstall it, this is how I have it setup and is working. The other file has an uninstall feature incase of anything can be removed. I have not tested the one with the uninstall feature to see if it would work that way, but Your free to test it out.

To know if the hotfix has been applied, to go Msgs/All Msgs/Menu/About if successful, your app build should be 1.5 (Build 2011.3631) The original version on the TP2 was Build 2011.3831.

Any comments good or bad Feel Free.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
75 Views and no one has anything to say? Gee wonder about that one.

And no one willing to try it huh? Well I can tell you this much it has made a difference so far, and it seems it might have fixed two POSSIBLE problems as well:

1) I have no SOD as of yet since doing this, even with weather animation.

2) No screen going black while typing or right after hitting send.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ultramag69:
What can I say... If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Others who have this problem might chance it but since I don't I'm not gonna stuff up a stable phone just to see if it breaks it....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] imeraz:
Oh it's broke alright. I haven't looked in these forums in a while. I gave up waiting for somebody to get a fix for this but I was curious and decided to take a peek in here to see what people are up to. The reason "it ain't broke" for some people is because they either don't have much sms volume or they clean out their inbox on a regular basis. For those of us who have a large volume of sms and don't have the time to clean out our inbox, it's definitely broke.

Anyway, you don't know how happy I am to see this fix! Thanks so much. I'm going to try it and I'll report back.

One question though...You say it's for manila 2.5...I'm not real fluent with the whole manila speak so I'm not sure if this will work on my phone. I've got a att tilt2 with the stock 6.5 rom running spb mobile shell. Will this update work on my phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Explanation: People like me see the title and wonder: "What's this?". So I click on it and see it's a solution for a problem that I don't have and haven't even heard of...so I have no comment on it. There's no big mystery about it nor any reason to take it personally.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
The Stock 6.5 that came with your phone is WinMo 6.5 Manila 2.1, it will not work with this version I do not suggest it at all. This version is for anyone who HardSPL-ed their phone and are using any of the generic HTC Roms without any Service Provider Bloatware. I would Add Customized Roms to the list but I think most Customized roms removed the 2.5 msging app from their cooked roms.

MCbrian

The people who dont have this problem either are using stock Roms from providers that have the 2.1 version of the app which didnt have this issue, or are people with the New Roms that are not heavy sms users, Or are using cooked roms without the 2.5 manila app in the rom and have reverted back to the WM msging app.

BTW FYI HTC didnt make the new msging system, its a 3rd party app, originally made by Jataaya, but was bought out by a company in india called ComViva which actually makes the app I believe.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pilik:
Hi

Just installed the fix: looks like now SMS application has much better options, it just works better. I restored 500 messages, as for now it works smoothly. No hung after sending message. I'll test it for few more days, but even now I can say it fixes the buggy app!

And quick question: bulid version of the fix suggest it is 'previous' version (3631 instead of 3831). How is it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pilik:
and regarding SOD: had it 3 times already since instaling hotfix, but it is not rather related to hotfix. Just want to tell that hotfix doesn't fix SOD...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Glad to hear it fixed your problem. :) Question, did you use the uninstallable cab or the direct cab?

The reason for the version difference again is that HD2 software versioning is different then TP2, HD2 jumped from 2031, where The stock TP2 6.5 Manila 2.5 had the 3831 Being that its from HD its the same app but different build #'s.

And thanx for the feedback and about the SOD being the only one who was using it and not having the issue anymore I thought maybe it had something to do with the fix, but thats why I said POSSIBILITY cause being the sole user I had nothing else to go on.

Glad I made a difference. Thanx.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pilik:
I used version with uninstall option. After another day of testing I confirm it fixes the most annoying behaviour of HTC SMS app. Sad that many people complain about the bug, not many want to try the fix- just look at the threads...

Regarding SOD: I contacted HTC service, they advised to upgrade the firmware (that's why I had to test the hotfix), now they say I have to 'repair' the device. I'll try. My company uses more than 40 TP2s, I am the only one who enocounters SOD. Maybe it is really broken...

Once again - thanks for the fix!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wilkhaven:
OK, I've installed the un-installable version, so far it seems to work well - the HTC messaging has never run so quick.

I'll keep an eye on it over the coming days.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] toosas:
much more smooth now! thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Allen Mead:
Agreed, I also installed the removable version and it seems to work all ok, certainly much better than before!. This maybe a coincidence but when I flick through my picture album now (full screen images), sometimes it takes 2 or 3 'flicks' to get to the next image, don't remember it being like this before. It could be that the images are about 4mb a file, hhmm, will have a look at this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
The SMS Hot fix does not change any files that have to do with HTC Album, so it either is coincidence, or you were not aware of it before. But I assure you the two are completely unrelated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Allen Mead:
That's what I thought, have just resized them, now only 1.49mb a file Definately better so must just have been a coincidence, will resize again properly when I'm back home to see if it's any better. flippin annoying! lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Girli3e:
I have tilt 2 energy rom, will this work for my phone? the sms lag is bugging the crap out of me.. Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] exawatt:
AD_SMS_HotFix_w-Uninstall

I just installed it on two us t-mobile hd2's. One is the orignal rom and the other is the updated rom. Both are responding much better to sms. The new rom is working almost perfect 99% better than it was. The orignal rom has 85% ish increase in speed so I would say that this cab is very much worth the install.

Thanks for you work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] exawatt:
AD_SMS_HotFix_w-Uninstall

I figured I better give some more info.

I lost no sms info on either device.

I have had no issues in any of the other functions on either phones.

So again thanks for the work.

I tranfered some music folders from my computer to my SD card and now I have Album Cover Art in my Gallery how do I fix:eek:

[Nexus One General] walie:
google "android .nomedia" and read the guides from there
[Nexus One General] nephroid:
I used ".nomedia" and it works like a charm. :D
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
It's possible the music folders had image files in them along with the music. Depending on what you use to play your music on the computer, the image files could very well hidden files on your computer.

For example, Windows Media Player does this when it looks up song info to fill out the ID3 tag info in a file.

Although I'm not sure if a Windows file attribute of hidden would affect how it displays on Android.
[Nexus One General] C.Slater:
Make sure your album art is in the same folder as the music relating to it and rename it 'albumart' (it has to be a jpg file). That way the gallery will ignore it.
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
Easier way to prevent this issue would be to not have album art in the music folder, or simply save the art to the ID3 tag. Album art info should be in the MP3 file itself if your did that.

Otherwise, what C.Slater said works best or use the .nomedia trick (which is still annoying to do).
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Some players wont display embedded art.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Had the same problem, just deleted all the music album art jpgs from the sd card and that fixed it. Album art is stored in the files themselves it seems so they are not needed.

My old touch pro 2 stored album art in jpgs so that's where the problem came from.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Those players shouldn't be supported.

Download music player "3" by Filipe Abranters.

Can anybody tell how hd2 can play rmvb well ? Any good apps for that ?
[General Questions and Answers] papaslides:
I have been using windows mobile phones for a while now, and looking through my phone I realize I use very little actual WinMo applications. I use sense ui or SPB mobile shell instead of the built in home screen, MMTaskManager, the HTC Dialer/Contacts applications etc... Thumbcal instead of the built in calendar. But the two applications that you can't seem to escape are (for my day to day use) the 2 most commonly used applications. Those are the E-mail and SMS application. HTC's IM application is ok, it's a bit clumsy to get into, but does the job adequately.

What I'm hoping is to find is a solid lightweight replacement for these applications like thumbcal or mmtaskmanager etc. Any thoughts?
[Nexus One Android Development] _avatar:
avlock[10] is a (the first?) real, *system-level* lock screen replacement for Android (CM 5.0.6).

it replaces the standard "connect the dots" behavior with pin-like mechanism. patterns can be arbitrarily large, and nodes can be repeated. also, there are no numbers -- just circles. definitely not for everyone, but i think some people may like it.

here's how it works:

http://files.clangen.org/avlock/avlock.m4v

if you want to try it you must have CM 5.0.6 installed, then:

1. reboot to bootloader

2. nandroid backup <-- do it. seriously. just in case.

3. flash avlock[x].zip

4. reboot

5. if you don't have a lock pattern already, set one: Home > Menu > Settings > Location and Security > Set Unlock Pattern

faq:

q: what happens if something goes really wrong and i can't log in?

a: i've been tweaking this mod for a long time and you shouldn't have any problems. BUT IF YOU DO:

* restore from nandroid backup made in step 2 above

OR

* if you know how to use adb, just delete the file pattern file and reboot:

adb remount

adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key

adb shell reboot

q: what files are replaced by the patch?

a: framework.jar, framework-res.apk, android.policy.jar, Settings.apk

q: why not just distribute this as a simple .apk file?

a: this is a system-level mod because it replaces system-level components. it cannot be distributed as an .apk.

changelog:

avlock[8]:

* initial release

avlock[9]:

* added tactile feedback

* reduced login delay

avlock[10]:

* disabling "Use visible pattern" works now

* better integration with system and Settings.

* re-added drag lock option.

avlock[11]:

* added the ability to specify a pattern timeout

use at your own risk. i am not responsible for any damages caused by this software. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!

caution: if you update your rom, install a theme, or flash another mod that replaces framework.jar, framework-res.apk, or android.framework.jar, you may not be able to log in upon reboot (or even spin into a boot loop). either (1) make sure you disable your lock screen before flashing or (2) rm gesture.key as described in the faq!

wow, nifty and works well enough

It'd be really nice if it was faster, there is close to a 2 second lag between entering and unlocking
[Nexus One Android Development] stian230:
Cool Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
Nice , i agree with the faster unlock and if it's possible to install it via apk or another methode than flashing in recovery mode.

Good work.

You could always unzip the zip and push the files manually

adb shell stop

adb push these files to their respective places framework.jar, android.policy.jar, Settings.apk

adb shell start

[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Nice work!
[Nexus One Android Development] _avatar:
Unfortunately, because this is a system-level mod it cannot be installed as a simple .apk.

The delay is there on purpose. Once you stop touching the circles for 2 seconds, the combination is verified. Without this delay, there would need to be some sort of "OK" button, which I think is undesirable. However, I'll look into making the delay shorter (1 second?) for future builds. The value needs to be long enough so people can still enter their combination relatively slowly, but fast enough so it's not annoying.

Possibly. Is Enom's source available, and easily buildable like Cyanogen's? I'm not super familiar with his project.
[Nexus One Android Development] daveid:
This is hot, installing now. My main complaint with the stock lock pattern was the inability to re-use points. just gotta set a good lock pattern and see how this works.

Thanks.

You'll want to ask him which actual tag he's building for current versions. Also, since I'm not up on framework patching, it might be more complicated if you don't want to break the trackball-wake and/or notification features. Best to contact him @enomther or for someone to raise the suggestion in his thread.

I've spent the past couple days cleaning up the sources and getting this better integrated into the Android system as a whole. I added the PIN lock as an option in the system's Settings, and also added back the original "drag" lock for users who prefer it:

http://files.clangen.org/avlock/avlock_settings.png

Also, disabling the "Use visible pattern" option works now.

In other words, the source should be ready for integration into other projects/ROMs, even though it still uses CM as a base.

Code is available here (I'll also update the first post):

[Nexus One Android Development] Wysie:
Nice work! Will you be releasing an update.zip with the settings integrated? :) Can't wait to see this included in future ROM releases.

Just a suggestion, make the "lag" time configurable, say, 250ms, 500ms, 750ms, 1000ms, 1500ms, 2000ms? :)
[Nexus One Android Development] bigballa:
wow thats beast!
[Nexus One Android Development] pershoot:
thx for this. building from source now, and will check it out.
[Nexus One Android Development] _avatar:
I'm currently a bit reluctant to release a new update.zip with the most recent changes because I had to modify a couple resources in framework-res.apk. The concern is that someone will flash a theme (or something) on top of my mod, then will be unable to unlock the screen or spin into a boot loop. Even though it is totally fixable by the user, I'd rather not cause problems for anyone. However, I may reconsider and push a new update.zip later today or tomorrow, after a bit of testing.

And yeah, I agree the delay should be configurable. I'll look into adding that soon.

Cool -- please let me know if you have any problems. I just started toying with git yesterday... I'm pretty certain I pushed everything to github correctly, but I'm not 100% sure. A confirmation would be great. :)
