there might be some validity to that statement... i dont run lwp and do not have the issue... ive flashed tainted vanilla a few separate times and havent encountered transparent images...

Ok... So how do we reinstall the stock "Photos" gallery?

Edit: Just pushed HtcAlbum.apk and .odex into /system/app. Voila, Photos app back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] m4dm4n123:
Have been running CM 5.0.7 for a while and then I wanted to nandroid restore to a saved backup of 4.2.15. Everything was perfectly normal (like a few times before), but now when I entered SIM number it froze. I all went down from here.

A few symptoms have arised :

1. freezing @ HTC Magic logo

2. Sometimes get into 4.2. OS but freezes when i insert PIN number on homescreen

3. Sometimes I can get into recovery and sometimes I can't

4. Sometimes it passed HTC logo and started booting android,then turned off display

Now I can't go even into recovery. Fastboot works ok, but when i boot recovery from fastboot (it says it downloaded image OK),phone reboots and NOTHING, almost black screen (greenish,whiteish background).

What do you recommend ? How can I boot into recovery (tried AmonRAs 1.5 & 1.6 , nothing worked, Sapphire version of course)?

Here are the specs from Hboot:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32-A Ship S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP 10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

P.S. Funny thing is that I haven't been fideling with booting new roms or such, only restore of existed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjung:
Hello all. I am new to Android – but have done a little research and I am excited about the possibilities of my new phone. Which is…the HTC Desire A8183 with Telstra Branding and the new ROM that fixed the GPS issue and added voice search.

I imported the phone into the US to use on AT&T’s network. I love the OS, the features, etc. The speed on AT&T’s 3G network is incredible – averaging about 200 kB/s.

My Goal: I want to Root the device and probably apply a stock HTC Rom. The reasons: I want to 1. Remove the Telstra crap; 2. Use it for Wi-Fi tethering; and 3. Install apps to the SD Card.

My issues: When I purchased the phone, it came with what I believe was a stock HTC Desire ROM from Europe. However, the GPS DID NOT WORK. I tried every program I could get my hands on. Does anyone know if the A8183 has a different hardware configuration (other than frequencies) and that is why the GPS did not work on the original Telstra ROM? Of course, the only way I could get the GPS to work was to flash the phone with the Updated Telstra ROM from HTC’s website. Piece of cake. However, now I have this crap from Telstra on my phone.

My predicament regarding rooting and flashing another ROM on to this particular HTC Desire model: It looks like all the guides I have found require you to install a new ROM on to the phone. Will I still have the same GPS issues? Have we found out why the GPS did not work on the original ROM and how they fixed it? If so, has anyone ported that solution into a stock HTC ROM?

To be perfectly honest – I just want this Telstra bloatware gone, wifi tethering, and apps on my SDcard. (Obviously, I want all other functions to work as they should…including GPS) If anyone has possible solutions, my mind is open and I can pretty much respond immediately.

Sorry if I used incorrect terms – I’m new.

In advance – Thanks,

Eric
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaa-Yoo:
Have a look at

this thread

over on MoDaCo android forum, it has the solution to your problem. :)

BTW, where did you buy your phone from?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
I don't know, what you think, but:

I think that the nexus One doesn't need a Ringtone if it lies on a table.

The vibration makes so much crappy noises and unfunny sounds, that no one can hear some ringtone ;-)

OK, I'm just kiddin...

But:

I like the vibration much. If I have the Nexus in the jacket or the trousers, I need it, because sometimes I can't hear it ringing.

When I'm in office, my Nexus lies on the table. Now I don't need the vibration. Only ringtone.

Now I've to make the changes: I lie the Nexus on the table and change the vibration to off. Going away, I take my Nexus and change the vibration to on.

What do you guys think? Am I the only one, who think that the vibration mode isn't very impressive on the table?

Is it possible to make a setting to swith the vibration off, if the nexus lies straight on a floor? I think of using the G-Sensor for this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PrawnPoBoy:
What if you are sitting down and the phone is in your pocket? Wouldn't the phone be horizontal then? Maybe it would need be refined to only disable the vibrate function when the phone is horizontal AND the screen is facing up. I assume most people probably put the phone in their pockets with the screen facing their leg...

Not a bad idea though. It's similar to other phones that will stop ringing if you put the phone face down.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] andythefan:
Don't other HTC devices have this capability? Like some have a vibrate only function, or a silence if you flip it over while it's ringing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yeah, ringing is okay, ringing must be on, but the vibration is so scary on a table...

Is there any way to have show/hide tags such as

Spoiler content hidden.

, to have a block of text hidden until you click on it?

Relevant links:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=110598

http://www.creationlab.info/2008/09/creating-vbulletin-bb-codes-from-html/

I'd like something like this for my guide so it doesn't show all sections at once. That way the person can choose to show only the section they're working on.

Does this exist on these forums?

If not, can the site admin consider adding it? :)

Also, is there a way to "hack" this in via the [ HTML ] tags?
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Not at the moment. Something like this maybe in vB4 when we upgrade.

Spoiler tags seems a bit hacky, the admin's might consider if there is something a bit more user friendly or fit for purpose.

Collapsing information seems the wrong way to do it. I think a navigation (contents page) that allows quick thread navigation without opening in a new window / tab would be better.

Dave
[About XDA developers] Paul22000:
Doh, that's too bad.

I'm not sure what you mean by a contents page? Splitting up one post into several, may make things a bit more hectic?
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Like the contents page on Media Wiki pages : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development

In my experience, so long as the posts are sequential and the OP has the ingenuity to disable their sig until the last post, it's not too bad.

[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Post less? ;) (j/k)

I was thinking about linking inside a thread. HTML allows Anchor / Name tags to do this. A way of building a contents page could be handy.

So the contents could have:

Post 1

- Part 1

- Part 2

Post 2

-Part 3

etc. etc.

It might just be a dream though : http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=2031310 :(

[About XDA developers] mejorguille:
I also think that this would be a good idea. For example, a rom developer could hide the changelog, todo list, Q&A, etc leaving the first post much less cluttered and simpler to navigate, but still displaying the same ammount of information. I know how to use anchors and links with HTML, but I don't really know if most people know all the code, and it would be more complicated. For example, just a single link to an anchor named banana would be <a href="http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=6444184#banana">Link to banana</a>. It would be much simpler to just use a

[About XDA developers] mejorguille:
Here's another possible use: signatures. Almost everyone has a list of the phones they have, current rom, radio, spl, recovery, mods, themes, etc. We could literally change 5-10 lines of text to a single "show" button on every single post on every forum. I have no idea how much work it would take to implement this, but it would really be a kickass idea.

Hi everyone,

i know this is a pretty old topic, but i wanted to know if it is meanwhile possible to build a "spoiler"?

You could use a

[About XDA developers] Step666:
Sorry for also resurrecting an old thread but I too would love a collapsible tag.

As with the OP, I think it would be a real boon to writing guides.

I have a multi-part guide I'm working on/maintaining for the Arc but for each part of it, I'd love to be able to have it split into independently-expandable sections, it would make it so much easier to divide it up clearly and to hide necessary but lesser-used information.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabahkamal:
Recently I updated my 'non-rooted' HTC Hero (Orange) to 2.73.61.66 from my previous version (2.73.61.5). I got this ROM from the Orange site.

The problem I am facing is that once I restart it and slide down the lock screen, it just shows me the HTC logo. It's very frustrating, however, I can receive phone calls and SMS (for SMS, I can just see the preview in the lock screen). After fiddling around with it a bit, once I move the slider to get in the home screen (which is just the HTC logo), I press HOME button for a while and it brings up my Recent Applications (which is empty). After this if I press the call button, it even gives me access to the dialer screen and I can make calls. But alas, so far I have found no way to get to the main GUI, it keeps on showing only the HTC logo!

So far I re-installed the new and previous firmware a couple of times each, but the problem remains. I have also tried a hard reset and a memory clear and that has also not helped.

Just want to point out here that when I first got the Hero I updated to the .5 version in exactly the same manner and it worked just fine (now when I run the ROM Update Utility and take it back to that same version, I face the same issue).

I will highly appreciate any help in this regard as you can imagine how frustrating this is - I love my Hero!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
full wipe, reflash, boot w/o sdcard, logcat...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabahkamal:
Thanks for trying to help kendong2, as I'm pretty desperate here. I would further appreciate it if you could just elaborate on those terms a little more. :o

I'm not sure what you mean by 'full wipe' and 'logcat'.

Also, my phone is not rooted. I looked up logcat and it seems I need to run ADB for it. I'm a total newbie on this but from what I understood; my phone needs to be rooted to run ADB (would be glad to be corrected here).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
consider your users manual and find out how to "restore factory settings". i believe there is a button combination you can press to do this. all your settings will be lost afterwards.

logcat needs adb, although no root AFAIK. but i am not sure if you can use it on a stock rom at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabahkamal:
Thanks again. Did the Restore Factory Settings, flashed it and booted without the SD card but still facing the same problem. I'm checking if there is a way to get that logcat somehow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
you flashed it via ruu? or what?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabahkamal:
That's right, I used the RUU and it completed successfully (as it has been doing all the times I have flashed it lately), but with the same results. Is there any other way to flash it?

I've also had no luck to get ADB/logcat running either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
you can flash roms through a custom recovery image. but if you don't have any luck by flashing an ruu update the custom recovery probably won't help either. thought about returning the hero for a refund? sounds like a defective device to me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabahkamal:
Returning it would be a major hassle as I live in Kuwait and got it sent to me from the UK through some 3rd party supplier.

I'm also not so sure about the device being defective because when I first did the upgrade to the .5 version (back in Sept 2009, when I got the phone), it worked like a charm. So I'm not sure what went wrong between then and now, when I made the latest .66 update a few days ago.

It's weird, I can make calls, send/receive SMS, but I just can't get to the main home-screen GUI. Keep seeing that HTC logo! :(

Thanks for trying though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
i'd say try some other roms, but for that you need to install the custom recovery image, and for that you need to create a goldcard and downgrade, so it's kind of a hassle as well... good luck with what ever you go for.
[Android Apps and Games] Louis:
My Htc HD with a tweaked ROM has the function to make the device work as a Hotspot.

Obviously, you'll need root before you can use it, but it will provide the functionality you're looking for.

Hi all,

I've been having issues with my phone lasting nowhere as long as my girlfriends identical one,

I installed Quick System Info on both phones, Killed all tasks.. Not only is my display duller than hers on the lowest setting using the power control widget but the voltage on my battery is 3737mV while hers is 4071mV..

Is this cause for concern?

Update, forgot to mention, this is from a full charge on both handsets.
[Desire General] capeli:
Sounds like your battery is fu#ked!

There seems to be an issue with the way android reports the battery voltage. If I leave my phone on the charger until the light goes green and the indicator says 100%, the voltage will often report between 4.146v - 4.156v.

Upon unplugging the phone would drop to 99% and 4.125v almost immediately.

I noticed the other day that after leaving the battery on the charger overnight the voltage was reporting as 4.206v and I was able to use the phone for over 15min before it dropped to 99% from 100%.

Minimum voltage before your phone powers off is around 3.6v - 3.650v. So 3.737 is pretty close to the cut-off point. The OS is may report 100% charge but your battery is not holding charge.

I had a battery on a different device that was like this. The battery had collapsed. I could charge it for 24hrs and it would not make a difference. Within 30min of use or 1 phone call it would die.

Does your battery have any bugles, bumps or protrusions? This is often a sign of a collapsed battery.

[Desire General] Fatriff:
Yes, after scratching my head for a few days I did eventualy come up with the genius idea of putting the battery from the other phone into my phone!! and after charging it up, set it down for an hour and then checked and the battery was on 98% !!

So it looks like there is something wrong with my battery, This morning I woke up and my phone had been charging for 7 hours and was fully charged, I looked at the battery meter and it said 100%, I turned the phone off then back on and checked again.. 90% ???? WTF ??? just from turning the phone off and on?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Calmiche:
So, I've had a BGP100 for quite a few years, (Probably at least 5) tucked into a drawer.

I used to use it for my old Ipaq HX4700. As I remember, it was okay, but the emulators available were pretty slow and there was some noticeable lag between button presses. I pulled it out today to see if I could use it on my Touch Pro 2.

The results were... pretty bad. I can get my bluetooth stack to see it, however there don't seem to be any drivers. Supposedly, there are some official drivers and people keep suggesting that I use those, selecting the HTC Magician option on install. Unfortunately, the drivers seem to have disappeared. All I'm finding are broken links.

I then installed the GamepadHD2BlackPanther exe, designed for the HD2, but it crashes almost instantly. Finally, I installed the BGP100 software and that came the closest.

It works for about 2-5 minutes before loosing connection. It keeps popping up the "Bluetooth Serial Port" over and over again, asking me to reconnect. I have to exit all open programs and then restart bluetooth and then the BGP100 program. Then do it all over again in 2-5 minutes.

Anyone have a working solution for the Touch Pro 2?

Edit: and it won't let me post links, so I guess someone will have to read my mind.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ultraprimeomega:
Im about to buy one soon, just to try it on my TP2 (Tilt 2) but it seems to work on the playstation emulator just that the buttons are not pressure sensitive.

I was able to find a driver or program for the TP2 so the gamepad would work on it but i still dont have the gamepad.

ill try to find it and post as soon as i can

if i cant get it to work on my TP2 then i still have my Axim x51v:D

[Windows Mobile] birkoffsjunk:
You may or may not know, for every ROM I release, I release my Kitchen along with it, more and more I'm being asked to support other languages... However problem I have I'm not sure how to...

Currently I'm utilising the vistang visual kitchen.

I have made several test ROMs for the Russian language, but I'm getting problems where not everything is in Russian, and a lot of blank spaces.

http://www.vbnfiles.com/xda/birkoffsjunk/Chucky/Test ROMs/

The process I've done so far is :

Downloaded and sorted Da_G's 21563 rollup

Replaced 'initflashfiles.dat' with the Russian version

Unchecked all non Russian langs in the sys (_skip)

Changed WWE to RUS in the kitchen options of vistang (ROM Complex tab)

Changed locale to 0419

Included reg file setting Russian regional settings

Am I doing something wrong? Missing a step or two?

Anyway, ideally I'd love to have this support European Langs, Russian, & Chinese within the one ROM/Kitchen.

TIA for any help!
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
Did you also port 0419 EXT side of things?

The system being set up for 0419, it won't read the 0409's in there, resulting in blank fields etc ;)
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Hi,

Also app.dat files in your EXT packages you need to direct to the language specific location. (example 'program files' WWE, 'programma bestanden' NLD etc..)

What I do is placing a app.dat for every language in the specific folder 0409, 0419 etc..

Some packages also have shortcut that direct to 'program files' (wwe example), you need to edit those shortcuts too so they direct to Windows. You can open the shortcuts with a texteditor.
[Windows Mobile] birkoffsjunk:
Thanks for the replies, looks increasingly like a hell of a lot of work :(

Plan was to release a kitchen that makes it easier for people to builld ROMs for their own language... but the amount of work vs time available to me, pretty much rules out me doing this :(
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
I know what you mean :)

I started out like you, just the SYS etc and try to keep all apps in EN :D

I gave it up for now, as it's way too much work for 1 extra language and i'd want to do multiple ones :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile] TheDeadCPU:
Easy Kitchen with multiple easy to choose languages?

I would suggest OsKitchen.
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
However the kitchen may be (i use OsK), it's still a lot of work to:

- Extract all xxxx language packs from sys and ext, for every language

- Edit every initflashfiles.dat to fit your rom, for every language

:eek: :eek: :eek:

But hey once it's done it's done :D

Edit: in the end it was easier than i expected :D

i ported NL (0413) to my kitchen entirely (almost)

Path is like this: "\Windows\Startmenu\Programma's\..." but my own ext's i left to 0409 format and it'll still shows in the start menu :) didn't think it would :D
[Windows Mobile] TheDeadCPU:
Well yea, but OsKitchen is easier for non chefs to use :p
