This is not a flame

Wow. Really?? I have used this forum and the HardSPL tools for free for over 3 years. Never had an issue. Never found it necessary to tear down the folks that provided their hard work for free. Maybe you just need to move on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
No, the only way to flash a custom ROM on the Rhodium at this time is to use HardSPL. I can understand your extreme frustration with the HardSPL licensing system, but I can guarantee that cmonex and Olipro are not intentionally forcing users to donate. It's a shame to see that HardSPL is not available for everyone right now, but the only way to flash a cooked ROM without a HardSPL is using an SSPL, like the Leo had at first. There is actually an extremely similar topic to this one a few threads down from this one, asking for an SSPL to be created for the Rhodium, but I doubt anyone will do that. I do hope that this gets sorted out soon, so you can all enjoy cooked ROMs as well, but I think you'll probably have to endure the stock ROM for awhile longer.

The best alternative I can offer you is to create a goldcard by buying PSAS for 30 Euros and creating a goldcard. Once you create a goldcard and use it successfully, your device will be SuperCID, which allows you to flash any official, signed ROM for the Rhodium, so long as it came from an official source (HTC, Vodafone, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) and is GSM. The official 6.5 ROM for the unlocked European TP2 is probably the best you can get until you can flash a custom ROM with HardSPL.

And completely unrelated: 1000th post!

kimtyson - I'm not tearing anyone down. I'm calling it the way my experiences with it have made me see it. It's good that YOU haven't had any problems but there are many of us here who are having the SAME problem. Usually I wouldn't voice my frustrations like that, but I'm sick of all requests for help being ignored and being referred to the "make a donation for it to work" page at every turn, so save your "move on" nonsense for someone else.

Dave - Thanks. I'm glad to see someone here actually offer ideas instead of insults. You're the kind of person who keeps people coming here. I've asked for help before and been flamed and cussed out for it. That's why I've been here so long and have so few posts. So again, thanks, I appreciate the suggestion.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rodrilobo02:
You actually have to do is just download Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL.zip attached file on Hard-SPL Thread. That was what I did and I didn't have to pay any. Just follow the tutorial and enjoy. Hope it works for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rusreid:
Ditto....that's all I did.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ultramag69:
The only time you need to pay is if you try to install Hard SPL on more than 1 rhodium from the same IP address... It was done like this so businesses didn't just run amok and unlock X amount of mobiles without giving something back to the developers...

I have 2 Rhodium handsets and to be honest, the 4 or 5 pounds to unlock the 2nd phone wasn't excessive...

Best investment I made for the returns...

Cheers...:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Star-Lite:
So to the OP: if this is correct, you 'just' need a different IP-Adress, so flash your phone from a friends internet connection (take your laptop there or use his PC) ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ultramag69:
Just so long as your friend isn't so impressed they run out and get 1 too.... Then they gotta pay to Hard SPL....:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Closed.

Dave (the TyTN guy) has explained the process quite well.

I can't see what this thread hopes to achieve. If you have a problem, post in the Hard SPL thread or in mskip's guide.

Do any of you think it's possible to run a full blown Window manager on our phones?

Not anything like gnome or kde, but awesome or lxde.

I have grown increasingly tired of all of Android's home applications.

Look forward to seeing comments :)
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Well, I know you can run Debian Linux on our phones... I don't really think there is a point though because our CPU isn't powerful enough to make it very functional. The Droid may have a chance, and the Nexus One or Evo probably could.
[Hero CDMA General] noidea`:
Our phones should be powerful enough. Awesome and similar window managers use very little cpu.
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
wow, I'm no where near able to answer your question but what an interesting idea!! That would be very cool!

Thanks to REGAW helping me learn I used my new gnome bootable usb last night, how cool!!

Only downside is it doesn't save ANYTHING from the session, I'm going to partition some space for it on my hdd :D
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
id love to see ubuntu ported to our heros. the tp2 users have it, why not us?
[Hero CDMA General] noidea`:
I'd say Ubuntu is a bit too much ;) I think a Debian port would be much more friendly.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if gentoo could be compiled on the phone and used as a phone.</off topic>

This topic is about running a *Window Manager* on the phone, not another operating system. I was reading about Android on the Wikipedia page earlier, and I read that there was no X support, so I dont think it would be very easy to get it working :/

Some of those manager are deathly simple. I guess they could potentionally be ported.
[Hero CDMA General] tmachovec:
if you were running one of these overclocked roms would this change anything, I found this elsewhere, I didn't write it, you may have read it before:

OK, here's howto get Debian up and running on your HTC Hero running the MoDaCo Custom Rom 2.9:

1. Download this archive:

androidfanatic.com/cms/unofficial-app-repo.html?func=fileinfo&id=21

2. Extract the archive, resulting in a folder 'debian'. Inside this folder

replace 'installer.sh' and 'bootdeb' by the files provided with this howto.

Make sure they are replaced, delete the old ones first!

3. copy the folder 'debian' to the root of your sdcard. The root is the highest level, e.g.

drive E:\ if you are on a windows pc. Unmount sdcard on pc and phone.

4. Download ConnectBot from the market. See included QR-Code for use with Barcode Scanner app.

5. Start ConnectBot and open a local shell. To do so click on the drop down menu on the lower left

that says 'ssh' and select local.

6. As this is your first start of Debian you need to "install" it first. Execute the following

commands (press enter at the end of each line, always allow root access if asked):

su -

cd /sdcard/debian

sh installer.sh

bootdeb

At this point you are changing into the Debian environment. From now on do not restart

your phone or kill ConnectBot without executing 'exit' first. Now continue with commands:

/scripts/onetime.sh

exit

That's it, you are done! Now you can do whatever you want with your Debian installation.

7. To go into Debian from now on you use the following commands in a local shell in ConnectBot:

su -

bootdeb

You can automate that by passing these two commands as 'post-login automation' in ConnectBot,

long click the 'Local' entry in ConnectBot and edit the host.

Remember to leave with 'exit'! Alternatively you can click the trackball once and then press 'd'

on the keyboard. This resembles 'Ctrl+d', which is the logout command for unix shells. Do this

two times more to shut down the local shell in ConnectBot.

8. If you want to access your Debian by ssh execute the following command:

/etc/init.d/ssh start

9. To free some space in your image file execute the following command in the Debian environment:

apt-get clean

Do this also after every usage of 'apt-get upgrade' or 'apt-get install'.

10. For additional information here is howto resize your debian.img (for Linux only):

androidfanatic.com/cms/community-forums.html?func=view&id=1610&catid=9

And see here howto install a graphical desktop enviroment, in this case lxde or icewm:

I'm not going to quote the entire post :p

@tmachovec: thanks for the info, but I'm looking to see if we can actually run it on the phone. Not connect to a fake X11 server over local ssh. I appresicate the input. But I'd like to run this on the phone :)

Gnome, KDE, IceWM or LXDE Desktop on your Android! 1 Year, 2 Months ago	Karma: 9

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Many comments on sites that have blogged this post seem to be getting the wrong end of the stick. This is not connecting to a remote desktop on another machine! This is x11 and LXDE Desktop running LOCALLY on the G1 device, the reason I had to connect back to LOCALHOST using VNCViewer (also running LOCALLY on the device) is because there are no drivers available. This circumnavigates the need for any special drivers.

Now back to business!

It's official you can run X-Windows and your choice of GUI (Gnome, KDE, IceWM etc on an Android device!

wow im lost in all this (NOT linux savy)

what does this mean?
[Hero CDMA General] noidea`:
Ok, so I've been trying to do this and I can never manage to get it working. When debian boots, it gives me an array of errors, but its too quick to reboot so I can't read whats wrong. I'm 99% sure it has something to do with the image being read off the sdcard. I read the installer script and manually moved all the necessary files because the script would not do it.

Yes, I ran everything as su ;)

Has any one else had problems with this?

Thanks tmachovec
[Hero CDMA General] noidea`:
Any one have info on my problem?
[Hero CDMA General] tmachovec:
I couldn't get it to load either, same problems with getting Debian to boot. I know a little about linux but not enough solve these issues.

noidea` , I have no idea. :)
[Hero CDMA General] noidea`:
just wondering has any one been able to do this successfully on their Hero's?

I know for a fact that my original T Mobile USA HD2 phone worked, because I made a call to T Mobile support with T mobile sim card.

Then I unlocked the phone with cellunlock.net, tried my russian sim card - it worked. Then I got a message from my russian provider saying that roming feature was turned off, I couldn't make calls, I tohught it was a problem.

Then I installed Komar's ROM, and now it doesn't work at all! Not with T Mobile SIM card, not with AT&T, not with Megafon (Russia). There are no bars at all.

Others phones of the same providers work at the same areas.

What might be the problem?
[HD2 General] a5med:
I just performed hard reset with T-mobile sim card inside and this is what I see:

I select T mobile. Maybe that's the reason?

[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
This is a thread to post up random custom EXT's (not stuff dumped from roms, but stuff put together by users). Here's one I put together today. It creates 13 shoutcast .pls files (in \application data\shoutcast) and also creates shortcuts in the start menu for the .pls files (in Playlists, which needs a folder icon if you use it). The app.reg file creates a .pls file association for tcpmp-it may need editting for the path (I have tcpmp in \windows). The package requires mortscript; all it is is a mortscript that creates the files during customizations. It is fully edittable-you'll need to dump the .pls file for any station you want from shoutcast, and then edit the script. I kind of doubt anyone's gonna want all the .pls files I use. The nice thing about using these files is that you don't need a middle-man app to get the shoutcast stream going (e.g. PIE). The script looks like this:

WriteFile("\Application Data\Shoutcast\Twang City.pls","[COLOR="Red"][playlist]^NL^numberofentries=1^NL^File1=http://67.218.97.133:8888^NL^Title1=(#1 - 12/32) TwangCity - Alt-Country and American Roots Music^NL^Length1=-1^NL^Version=2^NL^[/COLOR]")

Just change the .pls name to whatever you want, and cut-and-paste the contents of the file in between the second set of ""s. The little squares for line-breaks need to be replaced by ^NL^. Some of the .pls files are longer than others (check the 'boot liquor' one). I'll post some more later.

Edit: Lol!!! It oughta be named 'Streaming Package'.

Added tcpmp package.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
I know; it's so funny, I gotta leave it that way.

I added a tcpmp package to the first post. It needs mortscript to unzip the skin files and also to create the start shortcut. Edit the mortscript to change the location in the start menu that it goes to. The skin is the one on the bottom left of the first post from the thread. I guess it's by listopad-it's really sweet.

Here are three more. The first is the new dotfred task manager 3.3. It's set up to run the cpu usage monitor; to remove it, delete the .dll and the certificates and whatnot in the app.reg file.

The second is PE Info (free from s-k-tools.com). It lets you look inside PE files (kind of like PE Explorer).

The third is the newest version of the google youtube app. It needs mortscript to run, and the start link is in the mortscript.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
This is a package with the latest Bing with turn-by-turn navigation. You need mortscript for it to run, and the shortcut is created in the mortscript in the package; edit the second line to put the shortcut wherever you wish.

I've had issues with the XAML files becoming corrupt if I locate this straight into \windows. Whenever I soft reset, all the files in \windows\xaml become corrupt (task 29 doesn't help). Anyway, it works fine for me in \program files, so that's why the package is put together that way.

Edit: Here is a combo EXT of TCPMP/Uzard Web browser. The browser's media player is tcpmp with a crappy skin. I've combined the browser with TCPMP-0.72RC2-ARM-WM6, and the two media players use the same plugins (saves memory). They also use the same custom skin, so now you can make all the same tweaks to the uzmp media player as you can with tcpmp. You need mortscript for this to install properly, and the start menu shortcuts are created in the mortscript.

Custom Dummy CoPilot package

Description:

This is a dummy CoPilot, used in order to enable NaviPanel's buttons and point to your GPS software.

Requirements:

You must have MortScript included in your rom:

For getting the package installed!

(It has an archive which has to be unzipped with MortScript during 1st or 2nd boot - check app.mscr and add its content to your script that runs while customization)

For running the dummy CoPilot after installation!

(A *.mscr is used to run your GPS Software)

Tested:

Working well on a LEO with Destinator 7 in Storage Card!

Best Regards!

That would be nice to see it. HD2 is beautiful device and with WM 6.5 dieing i would hate to see the devices(the ones that can handle WP7) die with it.

EDIT

Actually after reading WP7 is FAIL thread. I think WM6xx needs to be ported to WP7 phones or even better Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stanleyhunk:
means that HD2 can port to Android OS now?
[Windows Phone 7 General] aqw955:
Ported OS cannot be compared to the native one,

so I really hope Microsoft can release an official update for that if they can do it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Superharas:
No, there will be no Windows Phone 7, for older devices.

Due, to the hardware restrictions, e.g. only 3 buttons (Back, Windows, Search), minimum 5MP camera, Capacitive Touchscreen, 480X800 or 480X320, etc...
[Windows Phone 7 General] enadiz:
I'm absolutely sure that the stated 'hardware restrictions' is NOT holding back 'older devices' like HD2 from getting WP7. The only thing that's holding them back is justifying the extra work done in porting the OS to HD2, which in fact reduces the demand for new WP7 phones.

No.

sorry if this has been discussed. its been hard to search b/c the search engine continues to delete "3" from my searches.

basically, i was wondering if people had any issue with 3 sim cards working in the telstra hd2?

my friend has got several hd2 phones from telstra and is offering to sell me one. he assures me the phone is unlocked as well.

we tried plugging my 3 sim card into his telstra hd2 and for some reason i wasn't getting any reception. tried a vodaphone sim and it worked.

i currently have an omnia and know how to change all the mms, internet etc settings but is there something i need to do with the telstra hd2's setting to find 3's 3g network for voice calls?

thanks for any help you guys can provide me.
[HD2 General] Leddy:
Technically there shouldn't be any issues with reception. Your friend might have locked his phone to WCDMA 850MHz though, which is a band that only Telstra transmits on. Check his baseband setting.
[HD2 General] bliss81:
that is what i was thinking as well, the question is now:

how do i check his basband settings? unfortunately i don't have the phone on my now, but is it is pretty straight forward? i.e. going into settings -> baseband etc?
[HD2 General] Leddy:
Open the Comm Manager by tapping the notification area and then on the network reception button. Tap on "Phone" then its on the bottom- "Band"
[HD2 General] bliss81:

[HD2 General] Moby58:
I have a Telstra HD2, that I bought a week ago, and am using on 3.

The phone is unlocked, and should auto setup when powered up first time with your 3 SIM card in it.

I used it a few days with stock rom, then flashed to another.

A few things to do.

Probably best to do a hard reset of phone, with SIM in, and let it reconfigure and start. (to hard reset, hold down the VOL UP and VOL DOWN buttons while turning on, and follow the instructions)

When all done, set locale, time, etc

Need to set the voicemail number (333)

Need to change connections to use PLANET 3, and not MOBILE INTERNET

Planet 3 homepage on the mobile should be HTTP://THREE.NET.AU (no WWW)

As it uses 850 when in country, it will roam on data on the Next G network (I beleive), and would be referred to by 3 (if they had it) as a MEGA MOBILE (tho you would want a BIG bank balance if ya gonna data roam on Telstra)

I am in Perth, and no probs with it with 3
[HD2 General] bliss81:
sweet. thanks.

i actually now think the issue was that i was putting the sim card into the phone incorrectly. :rolleyes:

i just got it and am trying to figure this phone out now.

do you recommend any roms for me to flash?
[HD2 General] bliss81:
umm...did this but it stuck on some screen with three colours...wtf?
[HD2 General] infern0:
Just open the back case and softreset to get it back to normal.

On 3 with a Telstra HD2 also. Works perfectly normal, but I flashed out of the Telstra ROM - running Miri16 atm, works fantastic

One thing with three.net.au is that it doesn't recognise the HD2 in some places, hence I have wordsmith's Opera Personality Switcher to mimic an iPhone.
[HD2 General] GLO:
Can i have a link to that pls?

Also, i have started having issues with Email on 3 critical error, and problems trying to identify the device.

Reception problem with using 3 sim in Melbourne Australia

Hi Friends,

I am using Htc HD2 with 3 sim in Melbourne Australia. The problem which i face is my phone mostly go to Emergency call mode automatically ( than I have to turn off the phone and turn on ....)

Can any one suggest me some good tips to getrid from this issue.

[HD2 General] GLO:
Hi Ali+htcHD2,

I believe that you have your 'network settings' configured to WCDMA only.

Go into your Comm Manager > Phone Settings > Menu > Netowrk Selection > Band > Select your Network type > Auto

Do this for both drop down menu's on that page, and then hit ok.

This should fix your problem!

I want to try it but I fear that I may just brick my phone (I JUST UPGRADED AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE ANYTIME SOON).

I was wondering if anyone out there knew where I could find the motherboard specs and radio / spl specs for the G1? If they are in any way alike I will def be testing the G1 method on my phone but for now...I dont want to risk it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
