[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angerfist2009:
I dont have clue whats goin on here i just bought a htc hero for my girlfriend i already have one myself and i am trying to root it.

When i get to the stage where In the command window on your PC type "fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img" and press enter i get this error message

downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)

I dunno what to do as i never had this problem rooting my own phone.

Ok just to add to this i also tried rooting the phone with one click method and everytime i go to back up it says failed.

I cant seem to get any of the root methods to work makes no sense as i have a 1.5 factory settings hero here and its not lettin me get by anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
stating the software version of your phone helps in this cases...

looks like you need to create a goldcard, then downgrade, then you can fastboot a recovery image and flash it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angerfist2009:
Thanks for the reply

I aint had a chance look at the phone yet but will try later today hopefully will get it to work.

guys , i just wanna know why everyone is cooking those roms, isnt thr any official wm6.5rom available for viva. IF not then why. plz reply
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] pradha91:
nope

no there are no official rom available for Opal/HTC T2223! i hav called the HTC helpline and asked and they said they have no idea. and i personally think there will be no official upgrade! so once ur warranty gets over, then may be u can flash it with a 6.5.x Rom! bt remember if u get stuck and u need the original HTC one, u need to pay 500 bucks! im waiting for my warranty to get, which happens coming may! bt still i hope stability will be a problem for opal because its only 128 mb ram and Touch flo interface need to be redesigned, taking hell of ram!

Which radio version do people like most. I seemed to have better luck with 2.41.04.02.03 then I do with 2.42.00.03.10.
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
I think with the radio versions it depends on your area to prove whats best. What wrks great for you might not for me in my area.
[General Questions and Answers] in&out:
hey guys

i'm about to buy a htc touch cruise (i'm guessing it's polaris from the internet) in the next couple of days. i only found about the driver issues only today, so i'm worried.

this forum has so many threads i don't know what to read first or where to start. would it be too troublesome to have one of you experts guide me in upgrading my phone, step by step, or which links i should click on first?

or should i just use the phone the way it is?

thank you very much.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] noShame:
Hi all!

I am new when it comes to creating themes for android but I think it will be ok, just have a couple of questions.

RED: Is it possible to have separate icons in the status bar and the drop down field? I have a idea for a textured status bar with transparent icons, but the transparent icons would not look good on the light drop down area, hence having separate icons?

BLUE: How do you change the color of those fonts? And do those changes only affect the notification area or is that program wide? I guess it is in the XML files, but which?

That brings me to the third questions, how do I open and edit the XML files? They are unreadable, how do I decode, edit and then encode them back again? (the texts I have found dont show the process, all the xml is already in plain text)

Can you recommend any tuts or such for theming?

/regards B
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
RED: Not directly possible, its the same icon. You will have to change the xml/code to change the second one to another image.

BLUE: 1,2,3,and 5 all come from status_bar.xml in framework_res.apk, (services.jar may also play a part)

Heres a tut that include an example of the colorchangetool. http://nexus-nation.com/nexus-nation-forum?func=view&catid=5&id=886

There are tools for decoding the xml but I've not figured that out yet (on my other pc, will post later). You could use a hex editor.

I use 'baksmali' and "smali" to decompile and re-assemple apks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] leonnib4:
Hi noShame.

I recommand you this thread:

"colorChange.jar v3.1 - Modify Cyan template text colors [ALL VERSIONS] 11/29"

(I cannot post the link..)

for colorChanger v3.1 script to use in command line.

.. You're under windows, right?

java -Xmx512M -jar colorChangev3.jar theme.zip clock=FF0000FF date=FF0000FF

Available options:
clock - ARGB color for the clock text
date - ARGB color for the date
ongoing - ARGB color for "Ongoing" Label
latest - ARGB color for "Notifications" Label
none - ARGB color for "No Notifications" Label
clear - ARGB color for text on Clear Notifications button
network - ARGB color for network name (T-Mobile usually)
roam - Not sure where this color shows up, possibly network name when roaming

A is for Alpha transparency
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] noShame:
Thank you guys for the quick and informative answers!

britoso: Yeah I figured you would have to edit the XML and make it link to two different pictures, will have to look further into that.

Great tut on changing the colors, I found this vid that describes the process of using 'baksmali' and "smali" to decompile and re-assemple XML, if anybody who is readin this is interested.

lenonnib4: Hi and thank you! Yes I am on Win and that script will surely come in handy!

Android Themes Basics 2: Changing Statusbar (1/2): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiExjt7nGt8
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
I remember a thread several months ago in which we discussed the best software for recording conversations, and how this was very difficult on WM, and which resulted in my using VITO "AudioNotes". However, I have still always had a great volume discrepancy between my own voice and that of the caller. I'm wondering if there has been any change since that discussion; can anyone recommend better software now recording calls in better quality? The major advantage of AudioNotes is that it records all phone calls automatically, unobtrusively and with no audible Beeps. But can anyone now recommend anything better?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sexkgp:
You dont need any third party software to do so, just use the native WM recording feature. Make the following changes to your registry & U'll find the recording button in the menu during your voice calls.

To enable 2 way recording just change:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]

"VocRecPath"=dword:00000002

If you want to use WM6 native recording (WAW only, on \my documents\notes, manual activation: during a call hit "record" on call menu) create:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AudioRecording]

"Enabled"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Voice]

"EnableCallRecordMenuItem"=dword:00000001

"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001

Google for it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rorytmeadows:
And it is AWESOME
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
Thanks very much guys. Sexkgp, is there a way of setting up your registry version so that all calls are recorded automatically without the need for any user intervention?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
Actually no wories; I've installed ACR and I do concur, it's perfect! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] roccotrisoliere:
acr hands down the best!

i've had acr on both my tmo tp2 and my old tmo wing. its works flawlessly, and you don't even know it their. but when you need to recall the converstion, just go to what ever file you store your recording in (sd/device) and there is every phone call you ever made; if you never delete them.

doesnt take up any room on ram, it is always hidin, and ALWAYS WORKS. lot of opions included.:eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
I do agree, except for "lot of opions included". The options are actually rather minimal, which is a shame, but otherwise no complaints.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sexkgp:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
Speaking personally my leval of ability favours software over reg-tweaking, and I must say that having used Auto Call Record for a few weeks now, other than that it overloads a little (if only there was a way to lower its record gain?) it is indeed excellent and reliable.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natarau:
Hey guys, this is my first post, I'm glad to be a part of this community.

3 days ago, while surfing the web, my phone stopped responding. After restarting it, the touch screen stopped working with the phone flipped in landscape mode. In normal mode it was working fine. After one day the touch screen wasn't responding fine even in normal mode, I would have to perform screen alignment a few times a day for it to respond correctly. In addition to that, now the screen won't even change to landscape mode when I flip the phone, it just freezes. I don't have warranty, I have the latest software version from SE installed. Clear storage didn't help. Got any ideas? Do you think it might be a hardware problem or software?

Thank you for reading this!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natarau:
PS: I've just reinstalled the latest software from SE and still the same :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
nat'

Welcome, bro, but sorry to hear about your problem.

Did you make any tweaks to the registry or anything? If not, I fear this is a hardware problem. You could try installing the X1 softtouch cab in my signature, because that maxes out the screen sensitivity, but I'm not optimistic.

Let us know.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny4911:
This is definately a hardware problem, if your under warrenty send it in asap, other wise browse this forum 4 other cases
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
might be ribbon problem

anyway I would second it's hardware related
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natarau:
Thanks allot for the quick answers. After reinstalling the entire software again, I'm also pretty sure it a hardware issue. I'm gonna look into that ribbon thread. If I don't solve anything I guess I'll just have to take it to a service. :|
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Hello, sad to hear about ur problem.

There has also occured a similar problem to me, but way more harder problem.

I read about the ribbon thing, and looked into it a bit more. How to open the whole phone and check the ribbon cable, also named flex cable if I am correct.

The cable were cut in half.. At the moment I am trying to find a store of where to buy one, I found a site from Sweden, cause that's where I am from but the price is not that cheap, around 600sek=85 dollars.

Does any1 know a site where I can find a cheaper one?

If not, I guess I have to buy this cable..

Edit:

I found another site, ebay. Way more cheaper than the previous site I gave.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/for-Sony-Eric...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item563a472301

Sorry dont use the link above, out of sale.. :@

Edit:

However, if the problem is the ribbon cable.. Go into ebay and search for Xperia ribbon cable.

You will find way more lower prices.

i tried palringo and it let me sign in once but then always gets a not authorized error.

so right now i cant use facebook chat on my phone and it sucks.

any other apps or maybe a fix?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] justwonder:
Did you try Palringo?

Most of the really nice ones cost money...Like Agile Messenger and IM+...

You can try Nimbuzz...worked better for me than Palringo and its freeware...

nimbuzz seems to be working at least over wifi for now. thanks alot

although it only seems to load 400 friends total so i cant see all that are online. hmm

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lbhocky19:
blahh. it only appears to work on wifi.

facebook keeps giving me messages about someone in the uk trying to sign in so apparently palringo and nimbuzz use a server overseas and facebook freaks out and blocks it?

[XPERIA X2 General] gbajzelj:
Today I was holding my phone when i was at work and i dont know what i preseed and a menu apeared. I couldnt even look at it real good couse my boss was comming towards me. it was like a service menu.

i klicked on accelerometed button (there was more buttons, accelerometer is the 2nd button i think) and then there was choosen 270 degrese option witch means left sided landscape and there was XYZ coordinates wich changed when i was moveing the phone and some other options.

i couldnt looked up the whole menu couse my boss was there and was asking me something just a second afther that. It must be a testing menue or something.

I remember i was pressing the front buttons but cant recall the combination and i think it was the end call and the OK buttons that i was pressing.

But there is a menu and i want to get to it again. does anyone know this combination od buttons. the menue is only in black and white, no icons no colors...
[XPERIA X2 General] toffeur:
I don't know the combinaison but the soft is ServiceMenu, you can found it on the windows directory
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
This doesn´t work? Where can I type this combination? In dialer??
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
Is this true???
[XPERIA X2 General] gbajzelj:
abouth the ><>><>< ofcorse it isnt true that was the combination on the t610 and k 700 k750 phones. on the windows mobiole this isnt the combination.

abouth the service menue yes it is true i just need to figure out the combination.

maybe its supposed to be hidden and with help from some bug it popped up I dont know. But it is there.

I saw some forums when i was searcinh the web to fond this menu that some folks have reporting thair phones have secret menues just for fun (scams, hoaxes) but i have seen it. Im so interested in looking on it and go trough the whole menu.

Ill search further.

Sorry abouth bad english.
[XPERIA X2 General] Waco2:
Hey, guys, has anyone read what wrote toffeur? You don't need the combination, just look into the /Windows directory and find... who would guess that, ServiceMenu.exe.

Nice, it works. And you can disable accelerometer, which I find is useless and drains battery thanks heaaps =)

UPDATE: Can also edit ILLUMINATION Settings!

UPDATE 2: NVM, it doesnt save the settings.. =(

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] optyqus:
Well, it's just dummy :D Windows Mobile doesn't have a real-time bootloader with dynamic text displaying. This is just an animation to make the impression of a bios bootloader. However, the text content corresponds with Diamond2 hardware, to make the animation somehow more credible.

ok how and the heck can i change the startup animation to anything i want cuz i have several ones ive made and i wanna use them but i dont kno how to do it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] PMoto:
There are some Registry keys that control that:

HTC ANIMATION:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation :

StartupGif - \Windows\animated.gif

StartupWav - \Windows\***.wav

SPLASH SCREEN:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen :

CarriereBitmap - \windows\welcomehead**.png

MSBitmap - \windows\welcomehead**.png

Go to your Registry, check if this ones are the ones you have. If so, check the filenames and path.

There you have the files and path used by your phone. Copy the new files to the path with the same name (Overwrite) or change the registry setting to new files. Get it?:)

PMoto
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] p00ltergeist:
Well the easiest way to change the startup animation is to just install Advanced Configuration Tool v.3.3..period.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] optyqus:
Maybe your rom uses different registries for the welcomehead animation.

Just download the attached zip file containing the gif animation from my cab and copy the gif to Windows folder.

Then download and install Schapps Advanced Configuration Tool from here, search the startup animation option, browse in Windows folder for the Bios.gif file, select it, apply the changes and reboot your device. That should do it.;)
