[HD2 General] gstew:
One of my main reasons for having a WinMo-based phone is for ebook reading.

Many of my books are in .PDB format which is read by EReader or Palm Reader software... not to be confused with the Barnes & Noble EReader software, which reads EPub files.

I installed the EReader software on my HD2 and have two issues with it.

1. It pulls up the lists of books EXTREMELY slowly... I have almost 800 .PDB books and it takes over 5 minutes to display the book list. It has been slow since I switched from Pocket PC handhelds to WinMo phones... slow on my T-Mobile Wing, faster on my TP2, but it is fatally slow on the HD2.

2. I cannot enter the unlock code for secured book. This is my name and CC number... the 'OPEN' button grays-out when I enter the last digit of the CC number, so I can't finish!

Anyone else encountered this? Solutions or suggestions?

I suspect the slow listing of books is related to the Sense scrolling... anyway to disable that? I've searched a bit and haven't found that tweak... but I'd like to try it, I really don't like the HD2 sense scrolling anyway and would like to go back to the version on the TP2 which looks like it uses the stock WinMo scrolling.

I don't have a good direction on the unlock issue... maybe the Sense Touch Input? Anyway to disable that?

TIA!

Greg in Mississippi

P.S. I should add that I have a recent TMoUSA HD2 with the stock ROM with a few of the HTC customizations shut down (I really don't like them!) and have not applied the 2.13.531.1 update yet.
[HD2 General] mknewman:
I think the issue with the eReader opening your library is that it has to open and close each book to get the real title and author info for the display. A few things can help, move them from SD card to memory (there's tons of real memory, unlike prior PDAs), move ones you've read to a different directory or delete them (you can always re-download them from ereader.com), or get a faster SD card (Class 10?).

[HD2 General] gstew:
Marc,

Thanks for you reply.

I hear what you're saying, but why do both my Wing & TP2 open the very same list of books on the very same Micro SD card in under a minute while the HD2 takes over 5 minutes?

That's what has me suspecting something with the Sense interface upgrades on the HD2... and what has me suspecting that I won"t get much improvement from a card upgrade.

Any other thoughts?

Again, thanks!

Greg

Unlocking Issue

I had a similar problem that the Done button at the bottom was disabled (grayed out). I finally figured out that I had not entered the correct number of digits (16 for most credit cards). Double check the credit card number you are using. I just unlocked a book I had copied to my HD2 last night. I entered the correct number of digits for the card used, but I did not tab out or move from the number field. The Done button was enabled. I tapped it and the book opened. Of course, you can have the correct number of digits and not have the correct card number, but that is another issue. Because I had used different cards over time, I keep a printed list from my eReader.com account to show what cards were used for each book.

As to the slowness issue, I would consider removing most of the books. I am sure you have copies on your PC that you can download as you need them. Keep just the ones you refer to often or want to read in the near future. I have another program that loaded slowly. I removed all but the books I used regualrly and the program opened much faster.

just loaded Windows 7 on my laptop and went to flash to the latest energy rom. Im not familiar with WMDC but when it goes to flash, it gives me the RGB screen when rebooting my tp2 then my pc reports cannot complete update due to lost connection... wtf... why? win7 not compatible? am I a retard?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] outerdepth:
Not at all

I have Windows 7 and flash my ROM. It's not a Windows 7 issue more than likely. It sounds like you have not connected with Activesync before you tried to flash your ROM. The reason I say, you haven't established a communication port with your pc and it therefore cannot enter a usb connection in bootloader. I have had this happen when I didn't wait for activesync to sync with my computer. I got an ERROR: screen, so I know what you're talking about.

Just sync your device with Mobile Device Center and as soon as activesync completes, run the ROM install.

Let me know if this doesn't work. We'll proceed from there.:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
Its compatible but it can be rly retarded if you dont do it like it wants

1st install wmdc and let it connect to you phone

2nd disable usb connections on wmdc

3rd and so forth go onto flash your device

if it still says that then connect to the internent and boot your phone into the tri color screen WHILE still connected to computer and try flashing from there
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MCbrian:
I have flashed roms and done Task29 several/many times from my W7-32-bit laptop and my W7-64-bit desktop, and both work fine -- no issues. I didn't do any special procedures or settings (none on purpose, anyway)...it just worked.

I know this doesn't solve your problem...but it might help to know that W7 should work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] josemald:
I guess by now this should be solved. If not, try getting into bootloader mode (turn your phone off, and turn on by holding power+volume up button). Then connect the USB cable and try flashing.

I also use Windows 7 64b, sometimes when flashing roms got the same problem, and had to reset the phone from the color screen using the button. This has never happed after I started using Task29, because I have to get into bootloader mode manually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] XITruthiX:
Ok... Id like to continue this post for only one reason, I am in fact a retard...

Simply reading the stickys is always crucial in your quest to not appear far more retarded than you actually are. Apparently windows 7 update DOESNT update WMDC to 6.1. I Re-Read the "For Noobs" sticky and realized hm, maybe I should check to update WMDC and WHAM, no problem.

The moral of the story, read the previous posts. Asking questions in text based form on the forum when perfectly good answers already float about right in front of your eyes is just a complete waste of precious bandwidth, so dont do it.

I apologize.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] arucard98:
Sometimes I post things and feel like a complete idiot, I actually just had a lot of trouble flashing my tp2 to a cooked rom for the first time, but I've had HTC phones since the wing and still run into problems. This last bout of problems I had was fixed by simply reseting my phone to factory default :O
[Nexus One General] torchedlh:
So I'm about to make the transition from a rooted G1 to a stock Nexus One. I am unsure if I will root the N1 because the reasons don't seem that compelling with 2.2 on its way. It's a company phone so I cannot afford to lose the hardware warranty if HTC denies a claim.

However, I need to be able to get my paid apps onto my Nexus One while being in a country where paid apps are not supported (Taiwan). With my G1, I had used Market Enabler but it requires root. I have Titanium Backup and have backed up my apps. Can I install those paid apps onto my Nexus One without using Titanium Backup? It looks the the apps are stored as an apk.gz format...

How else can you get paid apps in a non-supported country. Has anyone been able to do this using a US based VPN service with the stock ROM? I'm interested in this option regardless because I will certainly find new apps I will want to purchase.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Mods feel free to delete. Turns out market accessibility is only dependent on your SIM card, not your IP address or anything like that. Good thing I still have my ATT SIM.
[XPERIA X10 General] vmiku914:
Anyone know what the Bell APN is for the X10? I have been to the Bell site and they have a generic APN for but most of the information is missing and I tried it anyway and it did not work.

-Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] gulpreet:
Maybe try these setting, I found them on another site, not sure if they will work but give them a try.....

WAP Gateway: 207.236.197.199

i have pushed the board files to my github to compile a fully working kernel for the GSM Hero. i dont own the device, but Behnaam has been working with me testing and such. anyhow everything works. the link to my source can be found below:

GoDmOdE-KeRnEl-SoUrCe

anyhow enjoy i do this for the community and ask for nothing but in return. Devs have at it!!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu1dry:
Behnaam already beat you to the punch, link.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toastcfh:
i seen but i can update this one :P plus i guess i forgot to add two files :P. btw they are there now and it will compile for sure. (i just did it) enjoy :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
will it say no more huge battery drain ? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zjr8:
Quick and dirty compile by me in boot.img format (too tired to hack an update.zip together)

Credit to: Benocharm, and well everyone else who worked on this project... i just compiled it lol

EDIT: Had a lapse and forgot to compile a new wlan module... will reupload after school today

Cant post links yet sooo h**p://w w w .mega upload. c o m/ ? d = 724NZ7Q1

** = tt

remove spaces

Method One Flash: (For those with unlocked SPL)

fastboot flash boot newBoot.img

fastboot reboot

Method Two Flash:

adb push boot.img /sdcard

adb shell

cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd2

- write: No space left on device [this is ok, you can ignore]

flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img

reboot your phone

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Are the video drivers included?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
I think that's very basic that they check it :P.

I'm more curious about other things that are not so obvious while testing:

volume keys while sleeping, battery usage, g-sensor, correct behavior of the audio jack (audio switches to jack instead of speaker), etc...

'gsm long text > 160 chars' issues can't have anything to do with the kernel used as I see it. That's something of the messaging app and / or the radio RIL used.

Hmm, new kernel to play with... might be the push I needed to try building my own android stuff to learn :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Am I missing something with regards to the wlan module sources? Didn't see them so far...

Or am I being stupid (highly likely)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
I asked 'cause in the cronos Rom, the developer said that he excluded the Video drivers to f**k up the other devs ...what a jerk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
dude, he only did that on his 'OC' version. The normal 'stable' version has them... reading is an artform :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
It's too early for me^^ sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
The normal 'stable' version of his ROM is built on the same test kernal that every other 2.1 ROM is built on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Again... getting boring :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Can someone please compile this one with overclock patch?I have no idea how to compile from source else I would do it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
Hence it got video drivers :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good write up on how to build a boot.img from this git repo please?im using ubuntu 10.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
so can we use this kernel on the vanilla roms?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zjr8:
Do you have the latest commit? I believe initially there were some missing files. I know when I grabbed the source the first time i had wlan drive compile issues
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] latiszm:
I applied this to both cronos rom and to superhero rom and both got really sluggish after installing it (I used the boot.img posted among the first posts).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DJBenson:
He did it to prove a point because everyone was flaming him about whether or not he actually had the kernel source (which it turns out he does).

Personally I don't think he is the jerk...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I am aware of this issue.

VillainROM are going to try and resolve it soon. I have also tried a VillainROM internal kernel and the same happened.

We will work on this today once we all finish our day-jobs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
I would like to help you in any way i can pulser
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks. I will let you know if anything comes up. It might be a 2 second fix, in which case by the time I've found you, it would be fixed.

But watch this space. you on IRC for VillainROM? We chat sometimes in there.

BTW, you get the PM? it's me that does the twitter feed ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Thanks pulser i should be able to unpack that and edit :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Poischack:
Just clone the repository, compile the kernel and installed it :

D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 481): Received wifi state changed from Unknown to Enabling

E/WifiService( 152): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.

Does I need something more than just the kernel zImage ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xangma:
Include the wifi as a module? =/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Poischack:
Inside the make menuconfig ?

EDIT : ok from the android source tree
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xangma:
Maybe? I haven't done it in so long. Wish I had the time. Someone needs to compile just an optimised 2.6.29 kernel that people can use with custom roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Ok guys fixed the issues with the slowness :D quote out all perflock options in the config, will push the changes upstreams to the git :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Excellent work behnaam :) Highlighting the true skill we have in the hero community.

You sorted out files with nathan?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Not yet, I will, just gotta organize everything lol. I kinda have a messy way of folder handling :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
who hasn't ;)

edit: have you tried anything else with the sources, bfs, ext4 etc?

edit2: compiling one with compcache right now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Damn, the scaling is jumpy now, fast for a few minutes, then slows down, then becomes fast again.... gotta look into that more :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sebxd:
Nice work !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
So do I. You should have seen the root directory of the villainrom server last week before the cleanout. I was finding random stuff from early March :)

And my development folders are even worse. About 3GB worth of junk for each ROM I've ever looked at
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Will try toasts BFS backport when he gets home and sents it to me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
cool. btw removing perflocks doesn't work for me, same as before. also tried to apply performance govenor as in teknologists kernel for mcr, doesn't do anything good.

edit: i came to the knowledge that there are more changes. patiently standing by...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Force it to scale higher on the ondemand scaling...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
did you change anything in the config? looks like it is trying to compile something for iptables/netfilter which doesn't work... then again i don't really have a clue about kernel compiling. downloaded the sources sometime before lunch, compile ok for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
well im recloning the the git source. hope it works.

hows the kernel so far? fast? I'm hoping to make an espresso rom with this kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Poischack:
It's working but really slowly.

I'm playing with nfs/cifs -> works well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
Is it slower than the leaked kernel ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Poischack:
Event with the default .config file, the phone is unusuable (I'm playing with adb).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
aww what a bummer. I thought this kernel would be fast. anyway what are nfs and cifs?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Poischack:
They are network protocol to share file (nfs is from the unix world and cifs from windows).

I want to play music with my android with remote files.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
Overclock isnt implemented into the ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
This is not a ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
OH I FORGOT sorry. overclock isnt implemented into the kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Wow this is what xda devs is all about! Developers working as a team to sort something out I know its off topic but I love seeing this great work guys
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xaueious:
I compiled it with the intention of it working on 32A.

Took a whole bunch of debug lines out. Can someone see if this boots Cyanogenmod 5?

I added the sapphire config, but I left the hero stuff in. I didn't change the whole config so there might be some stuff left that makes some ROMs unhappy.

Uses Koush Anykernel.

If it works I turned of perflock as advised. So Overclock implemented via SetCPU.

Here's .config before taking off perflock: http://pastebin.com/cKkBNtKJ

Behnaam, what kernel did you use for BeHero 1.2+? :) (Sorry, forgot to check -> Flashed boot.img directly after flashing BeHero)

Cause this kernel(the .29-dirty from zach) also works fine @ that rom of yours.

Edit: After a minute or 2, it started to lag.. looked like it almost died on me :P

Edit2: Wow, wtf? Reboot in serveral seconds? That can't be right? :| Used adb reboot ..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You are a legend mate.

Thanks.

To confirm, this is the kernel part only, and still needs to be added to the ramdisk to make a boot image?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ltraddical:
Yeah :P cause its not working while trying to flash as a boot.img ;) Thought it kinda was the same.. ah well :) you never gonna get anywhere while trying nothing at all..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
If you have the unlocked bootloader u can flash it thru fastboot:

fastboot flash zimage zImage
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ah cool. I've made update.zips anyway.

I'm not sure this has fixed the issue though mate. It's still really laggy and sluggish to turn the screen on, and Sense responds real slowly to everything like before. It's a step in the right direction.

Anything I can get ie. logs that helps?
