it glows

Hey,

just found out that the trackpad has light built under, and it actually indicates if you have missed tweets on twitter application.

But sadly, i can't make it happen to indicate other things (mails, texts, calls).

I found this out by accident (i dont use twitter app) - just spotted interesting option and started googling about it.

Cheers,

Wiktor

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] timmer3:
hi.

i'm wondering if anyone has developed an absolute bare-bones ROM for the HD2. the intended use is for field auditors and the only thing i want them to be able to do is launch their auditing app and use the calendar. the sim will be data only so it won't support calls anyway. it's a single purpose device and they will have a monthly data allowance that i don't want to use up with browsing / personal use etc. i hope to remove (or block) all apps, basically just keep the Today screen and i would deploy my app via Visual Studio / USB. can anyone point me in the right direction? i searched around the HD2 forums for 'kiosk' and 'block' and 'uninstall' but everything i found was feature-rich instead of feature-less.

thanks in advance

How do you plan to restrict app installations on a WM phone ? CleanEx series roms are pretty bare...in any case all ROMs will come with some basic apps which are required for day-to-day functioning
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] timmer3:
hi, thanks for the reply. i know the phone is designed for everyday usage, so browsers etc are standard issue. and obviously i can never be 100% sure that people won't install an app, but i want to put in whatever measures i can to deter novice users, e.g. removing file manager, Market, etc. it's a business-only single-purpose project and i'd like to customise the device as much as possible for that. am i looking at cooking my own ROM?

cleanex looks like a good start, thanks.

I am not sure, if this is what you are looking for, but.... couple of years ago I did sold and deployed Kiosk mode from SPBsoftwarehouse. it was 500 licences/installations. it was used on tytnII/kaiser PDA. they used only one application for remote database, even phone, wifi and other functionalities was disabled. it worked like a charm. I dont know, what they added to newer versions of kiosk mode SW, but maybe it will help you. it is not free and for sure not cheap, but it works and it exist test/demo version

EDIT> right now they have three products,

SPB Kiosk Engine

SPB Kiosk Explorer

SPB Kiosk Terminal

[Touch HD General] jonallwright:
My HD has just started some really odd behaviour. It won't run voice command if the memory card is in.

It started when i installed [WM6.5/6.5.x][21901/23112][WWE][UC] Clean ROM v7.0/6.1*****20.04.2010***** however since then I have TASK 29'd, installed a custom ROM and a stock ROM and am still getting the same result.

What is happening is that I assign VC to button 1 (press and hold) but it doesn't work.

I turn off, remove memory card and it works.

Turn off and card back in doesn't work.

I have tried installing from CAB and from EXE and also install to memory and phone, no difference and went as far as re-downloading VC

I have then tried using another piece of software on button 1 and there is no problem, whether it be a stock program, something i have installed and regardless as whether its installed on the phone or the card.

i have also formatted the card (both quick and long) and scanned for errors.

This is driving me mad and VC is probably the best voice control program as it needs no training and works via bluetooth.

Anybody got any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] lgrangeia:
First of all, congratulations to Paul for hooking us up with the Desire root.

I'm a new android user and I'm most of all interested in learning the inner workings of the platform (more than just having root), so I'm starting this thread to discuss Paul's recently published root method, so we can better understand it so that we can build on it.

As I see it, Paul has found a "Test RUU" that downgrades the phone to a Test ROM version of version 1.15.405.3. This version has the the recovery ROM set so it listens to ADB and allows for root access via ADB when booting the recovery partition.

He then pushes a few files with the objective of triggering a modified update (unsigned) that contain all the interesting bits, such as Superuser APK, and other modifications. This update is probably a modified and unsigned version of OTA update 1.15.405.4.

So I figure that the impossibility of rooting phones with the 0.80 bootloader is that it is not possible to downgrade the bootloader via RUU from 0.80 to 0.75 (which is the version in the Test ROM that Paul has found).

Is this it? can anyone else add some comments to improve on this vision? Paul?

Regards,

LG

Is this possible? Be it on the HTC Calender or Android Calender.

I use GMAIL to store all my contacts, be they phone or email and I also include birthdays. These sync fine to my phone and I can see them as contacts, inc their birthdays, but they don't appear is either Calender.
[Desire General] BelgianAtheist:
In Google Calendar (on a PC) go to settings then click "Browse interesting calendars >>" then click on the "More" tab and then subscribe the calendar "Contacts' birthdays and events" it'll show up as another calendar you can activate or deactivate on the phone.
[Desire General] msetten:
In order to get the birthdays of your contacts in your calendar, you have to login to your google calendar with a browser (best to do it on a computer, don't know if it works on the mobile). In the Settings of Google Calendar, you have to go to the Calendars tab and choose "Add interesting calendars". Then you get a list of different calendars. On the "More" tab, you can select "Birthdays of contacts and calendars". By enabling this, you will get all the birhtdays of your contats in your calendar, also on your phone.

Note: some of the steps may be called a bit different as I have all the menu options of Google Calendar in Dutch.
[Desire General] Sebuturn:
I have a question related, I'd imagine that the desire would do it automaticaly, but it doesn't seem like it. Is there a was to sync facebook birthdays to google contact birthdays ?

[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Hi folks,

I have a couple of simple questions and I hope some of you users here might be able to answer the question.

1) If I'm getting this straight, this phone is quad-band. This means that it'll be usable in any part of the world (this is of course after I get my phone unlocked?). The only thing that differs is whether you'll be able to get anything 3G and up. As for EDGE, it should be pretty much available anywhere. Is this correct?

2) Is this phone worth getting if you do not intend to use the data-plan? Does it seem silly to purchase this phone just for the phone? Or is the 3G a necessary component to truly maximize the feature-set of the phone?

3) How good is the stock ROM? What are your some likes/dislikes about it?

4) How good is the SD card? I've been reading on how the SD cards might be the culprit behind lockups and freezes.

5) Does it even make sense to purchase the international version of the HD2? I keep reading on how the International HD2 can for the most part, use any radio, whereas on the T-Mobile version, you're restricted to a specific range of radios. Is this restriction of range a deciding factor?

And....that's about it!

Thanks.

[HD2 General] shemeri:
Hello,

anyone has the same problem as mine? And maybe a fix :-)

My problem is the stability of my 3G data connection. Sometimes it just hangs which means that it indicates that it is connected to 3G but when I try to sync my mail or browse to a page, it doesn't show anything and it timesout as it seems not to be connected.

I disconnect my data connection and connect again to fix the problem. I experience the problem when I leave my phone on standby for sometime.

If I have Opera running in the background, I have to exit it and start it again after the restarting data connection to be able to browse!!!

Anybody experience the same problem and maybe has a fix?
[HD2 General] the_cool:
I sorta had this issue, but the phone kept switching from 3g to HDSPA and back again, not loading the web page during. So i disable HDSPA to force it only 3g. I dunno if if this is whats happening to you, but hey worth a shot no?
[HD2 General] shemeri:
Where?

Where can I disable HDSPA ??
[HD2 General] the_cool:
Start - Settings - Connections - Advanced Network

The tab that comes up, click on the drop down list and choose disable. Soft reset and see if your connection stabilises

thx

Have you guys tried disabling the proxy?

Settings - Connections - Connections

You will have your internet settings, and then My Work Network. Under your internet settings, click Edit my proxy server, and uncheck This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.

However the proxy server that already in there will dissapear, so write it down. But oddly, on my device, i cant edit it. i dunno, i guess if something goes wrong, just run the connections setup again.

What is that option to disable HDSPA?

Last time I tried, I was only getting edge, and not 3G
[HD2 General] the_cool:
I posted it early up. read the thread dude :P it only disables hdspa, its not the same as the 3g switcher in the comms manager, that turns off 3g entirely

to the OP, glad it worked :) however, my internet started workin a few weeks later with hsdpa, could be due to a better radio that i flashed. so if u flash a new radio, hdspa might still work better so be sure to test it out!

What would you guys think of a GLASS PHOTO FRAME WIDGET. So basically a widget you can place on any of your screens, in different sizes, which displays a picture of your choosing but with a GLASS effect so its a bit transparent.

I think this would look SickK especially if you have a live wall paper running in the background. Right?

Is this even possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InGeNeTiCs:
I think it would look good, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. A glass-like photo widget with multiple size options would be great, but 'killer app', not even close.

As a side note, what exactly do you mean by 'glass effect'? Just the frame being semi-transparent, or the whole widget?

hi at all,

since i'm very new to this whole android thing, i just want to make sure if the following guide is ok for my phone, i don't wanna brick it^^

Phone:

HTC Magic (with Google) Vodafone branded

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Jul 31 2009,15:49:25

FW 1.6 (untouched)

Build-Number DRC92

i wanted to use the tutorial in the androidpit wiki (sry, can't post a link since i'm new^^) and it's german, so i'll translate that for you:

what i need:

astro file manager from the market

flashrec-newestversion.apk

cm-recovery-newestversion.img

DRC83_base_defanged.zip

update-cm-newestversion-signed.zip

optionally: update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-newestversion-signed.zip

vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007.nbh

1. rename vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007.nbh to sappimg.nbh and copy it to the root of the sd-card

2. power off and then on with volume down hold down

3. push trackball 2 times to install the nbh, reboot after downgrade

4. copy everything else to the sd-card

5. install flashrec with astro

6. start recovery flasher, download recovery image, then backup recovery image then flash recovery image then reboot into recovery

7. while rebooting hold home+power

8. select Nandroid v2.2 Backup

(9. optional) apply any zip from sd and choose the spl

10. wipe data/factory reset

11. apply any zip from sd --> DRC83_base_defanged.zip (NO REBOOT!)

12. apply any zip from sd --> update-cm-newestversion-signed.zip

13. reboot

will that work? and what do i need the engineering-spl for? would you recommend it? i read that flashing the spl is dangerous=) and where exactly is the exploit used to actually gain root access? i think the sappimg nbh is an altered recovery-image that looks like an updated recovery-image to the phone (and gets installed because of that) that is vulnerable (the 1.5 recovery? heard that one has the vulnerability), right? but why do i reflash the recovery-partition/image(?) then afterwards with flashrec?

and do i have to do something with the sd-card so i can use it? some kinda partitioning? i wanted to use the update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip with the ram-hack.

thx for any help, suggestions or explanations and sorry for my bad english=)

I've seen in the forum before there's a link to download the CIME keyboard which extracted from Acer. But that apk have a lot of bug. It's just only work in full-screen Hand Writing. I took a look around and can't discovered anything about this thread for a long time. Few days ago, I walked in to the mobile center in Xiamen, China then asked them that how to make the Nexus One to be able use CIME with stable Hand Writing mode. They look at my phone and said that taking a breath. Not too long, they return me Nexus One CM5.0.6 with fully functional of Chinese Hand Writing mode. No more waiting, I use Linda Manager to back up it for you.

How to install

1.Copy the file to your SD card.

2.Menu > Settings >Language & Keyboard

3.Select language & region to be 中文 next one from the last that's mean Simplifies Chinese.

4.Launch Linda Manager what can download from Market.

5.Browse the apk and install it.

6.Back to Menu > Settings >Language & Keyboard (Please use your sensitivity to go to setting because of this time it's Chinese).

7.Check at new check-box to on.

8.reboot. <-- recommend

9.Change your language & region back to English (I used Thai-ไทย it go error just can use with Chinese and English but the another I haven't try).

10.Enjoy with CIME. This version has also extracted from Acer V.1.0.0

Summary

Do not forget to install on Chinese region mode unless you do, you will face with force close in keyboard setting.
