Although Polyrhythmic hasn't updated his 2.1D for a while, I still think it's the best of the eclairs. For Donut, Myn's is really the only game in town.

Eclair is still struggling with non-working camera, but GPS , WiFi, and BT are working reasonably well, if you are prepared to invest some time into hunting out the best combination of nbh and build.

Donut is reasonably complete, I have had Myns working with WiFi, GPS and Camera, or GPS, BT and Camera, but never managed all working at once, it is the most feature-complete and arguably the most stable build of all.

Given that we have only had Android on our kaisers since the end of last year, I still think that all the devs have done a remarkable job, and development continues.

Compared to the start of the year, when all that was possible was running from SD, with battery life measured in minutes, no wifi, gps, bt or camera, I think what we have now is a complete OS, it's been my everyday phone OS now for months, and once you get into a few good habits, it's stable and smooth, with decent battery life.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Thanks for replies guys,

I have installed Myn’s Warm Donut, but it seems the graphics are a bit weird, they seem like they are the wrong bit depth or something, not quite sure how to describe it.

Any help on this please?

Thanks,

Tom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milanche:
Myn's Warm Donut is basically a scaled down version of 320x480 resolution to fit 230x320 panels, with 110 density, hence the blurriness.

One build with native 230x320 I like is vilord's Tattoo Sense, but there is a camera and BT audio not working problem in that build - hopefully incubus26jc's next release will fix this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
vilord's Tattoo Sense sounds pretty good, and it has rosie which I'd love to see working stable. I think I'll try this on the weekend, but just wanted to know, has anyone tried this? is it stable and/or fast? Its for the touch, but as far as I've seen, vogue builds work for kaiser... would this work too?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Hi, thanks for reply, not that I don't believe you, but its not so much blurryness, there are pink and green bits everywhere? Or is this what your describing?

Thanks again,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] highcoder:
Oh thats because you´ve choosed a wrong paneltype. Kaiser was built with 3 different Panels so you have to choose the right one. Look at the second sticky thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milanche:
I've tried it and believe it's the best Android build so far, despite BT and Camera problem (which we should be able to fix as it is Donut 1.6 Android).

For Kaiser you should use kallt_kaffe's update to get Wifi working and it also fixes Rosie and Market.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Thanks for info.

Ok please dont flame me, ive looked around and I used to flash windows mobile all the time, but I really dont understand these nbh files.

What are they, what do they do, why are there different ones e.g voguimg.nbh and kaisimg.nbh and polimg.nbh

Thanks for your patience with me
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milanche:
VOGUIMG is for Vogue devices, POLAIMG is for Polaris devices and KAISIMG is for Kaiser. Think of them as some sort of bootloaders for Android. You flash the NBH, boot to the install console, install Android from SD to NAND/SD/EXT2 and boot Android. Also you have to choose the correct panel to avoid screen problems you're having. The only way to see which panel are you using on Kaiser is to test all three of them and see which one doesn't cause you screen problems.

To test which panel you're using you should first make an SD install with Haret, there you have the option to specifiy panel type in the config file default.txt and can change this before every boot. With NAND this is hard-coded into NBH file. Later you can flash to NAND if you decide to stick with Android.

Please go thru this Q/A topic, it should help you get the answers to most of newbie-type questions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] highcoder:
I´m not a developer and especially on android i´m a noob but i think the NBH contains all what is going to be flashed into nand. In case of WiMo it´s the whole Operating system, somtimes with radio too. In case of android the NBH contains the Kernel only. The kernel is designed for your device with all the drivers you need (touchscreen, wifi, BT, GPS, etc.). so kernels from other devices may not work becaus of other hardware specs. in worst case it may brick your device. I read alot before i flashed my kaiser an kallt_kaffe´s kernel seems to be the best for now. Nearly all funktions are available. Only the Camera have a bug, but i think it only takes only a little time to fix this too.

I use kallt_kaffe´s kernel and Myn´s Warm Donut RLS5 and i´m totally happy with it. Fingerfriendly (you´ll never need your stylus again except for reset ^^), and much more responsive then the fastest WiMo ROMs.

You only have to modify the nbh for your panel type. But you only can do trial & error to find out which type you have.

So... happy flashing. :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Thanks everyone for your help, I have the tattoo sense rom on my phone now, my phone uses panel2 type of kaiser nbh.

I now understand the nbh better.

As im more then likely going to upgrade to a newer android rom when more stable ones come out, can anyone recommend a android application that will allow me to backup my txts, emails, contacts, and settings, etc.

Thanks all
[HD2 General] mobi:
Hello All,

I have the latest TMOUS stock rom with a few tweaks and fixes and I've installed the landscape cab and overall, I'm quite happy with it.

That said, I'm wondering if someone could help me with the picture slide when in landscape mode. At the moment, to go to the next picture, you have to swipe vertically and I was hoping there might be a fix so the pictures went horizontally across the phone when in landscape.

Is this just one of the limitations or is there a fix? Thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplyandyg:
Hey guys,

I was just wondering if any one is currently, or has in the past, had connection issues with their g1. I believe I read there was an issue when RC29 came out, but I'm not totally sure. Anyways, here is my problem. I am running a rooted and unlocked g1 with dwangs 1.6 on it. I have AT&T so I only have edge as well. I've noticed that I started getting a lot of "Network Connection Errors" a few days ago. I'm pretty sure it started before I rooted, but it seems to be worse now. I upgraded to 2.1, and then downgraded again in the past two or three days. My downloads from the Market are constantly stopping and being unbelievably slow (yes, I know EDGE is slow, but they are significantly slower than normal). When trying to search the market, and/or use apps that access the network I'm constantly having to click retry to gain a good network connection. Hopefully you guys have some insight. Thanks!

I can't seem to find the following items after my upgrade an hour or so ago:

Ability to turn off charging when connected via USB - If I remember correctly, there used to be a setting accessible from Settings-->Menu-->All Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC that would allow me to not charge when my HD2 would connect to my PC.

Modify Swype settings - I did see this screen when setting up the phone when booting it for the first time after the upgrade but now I can't find it anywhere.

Any pointers will be much appreciated!

[XPERIA X10 General] freco:
Hi. I just moved to Android (3 days) after many years in windows mobile (and Symbian SX1). I have some questions.

1. While connected to my laptop I cannot see my intenal memory. Should I?

2. Is there any software like my mobiler to watch my mobile screen on my laptop?

3. What is the satelite antena icon at the Quick Settings widget? Enable GPS? I did not find it in the manual.

4. How can I disable data connection? While wifi is on, when I surf the web which connection is used. I have a data plan but I want to control it.

5. Is there a built in task manager? How can I switch applications?

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
1. Yes - But you have to mount the SD card - slide the top tray down, select the "USB connected" line in the tray.. then click on "Mount".

2. no idea..

3. yes. GPS

4. Settings, wireless controls, mobile networks.. it's in there.
[XPERIA X10 General] SMG-UK:
5. Hold down the "Home" Button or middle button at the bottom and a menu will pop up to show you 6 apps open which you can just flick between.
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
2. There's an app called android screencast that works the same. xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=663390

4. There's app called toggle data widget, which is just a button that you can press to disable or enable 3g when required. 3g watchdog is also good as a data traffic monitor with status and warning notifications. These can be downloaded from the market for free.

5. There's and app called advanced task killer which works as an extremely good task manager. This can also be downloaded from the market for free.
[XPERIA X10 General] ahmedalishah:
1. If your SD card is mounted you will not see internal memory on x10. But you can see memory information on Media-Go while SD is mounted.

2. No idea

3. GPS

4. As Baggyb said ... use advance task killer (free in the market)

Clendar newbie question

How can I use the Calendar if I don't want to use a Google account?
[XPERIA X10 General] freco:
If you mean by synch then alternative is Sony Ericsson Synch.

Otherways manualy. That's all I know by now.
[XPERIA X10 General] Aldo Moro:
I mean that I can not even enter the Calendar application at all. It keeps ask me to enter my Google account. I've unchecked "Synch with Google" in location services, as well as disabled any synch activities but it still insist to enter Google account. It just drives me crazy!

Is there some work around or am I doing smth wrong?
[Windows Mobile] TMartin:
I am trying to figure out what something means and maybe how to convert it that I see in the initflashfiles.dat.

Example:

Directory("\My Documents\My Pictures"):-File("\x0053\x0070\x0072\x0069\x006E\x0067\x002E\x006A\x0070\x0067","\Windows\Spring.jpg")
Directory("\My Documents\My Pictures"):-File("\x0047\x0072\x0061\x0073\x0073\x002E\x006A\x0070\x0067","\Windows\Grass.jpg")
Directory("\My Documents\My Pictures"):-File("\x004C\x0065\x0061\x0066\x002E\x006A\x0070\x0067","\Windows\Leaf.jpg")
Directory("\My Documents\My Pictures"):-File("\x0057\x0061\x0074\x0065\x0072\x002E\x006A\x0070\x0067","\Windows\Water.jpg")

How do I translate the \x0057\x0061\x0074\x0065\x0072\x002E\x006A\x0070\x0067 to normal english like Water.jpg? Thanks for any help.

wow... I had no idea anyone would find a use for such a tool... back in December 2009, I wrote a vbscript to do this same thing. You can also feed it an encoded string from a provxml to decode. This is a vbs file so Excel is not needed.

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="FileOperation">
<characteristic type="%CE11%" translation="install">
<characteristic type="MakeDir" />
<characteristic type="&#[COLOR="Red"]82;emote Desktop Mobile.ln&#107[/COLOR];" translation="install">

<parm name="Source" value="%CE2%\wpctsc.lnk" translation="install" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

from this you would copy

82;emote Desktop Mobile.lnk

and paste it in the box

or in an initflashfiles

[Hero CDMA General] mkabwilliams:
So last night my car was broken into and they trashed my alpine deck and stole my ipod. So today while shopping for a new stereo for my car I tried finding something that would work well with my HTC Hero. I was hoping for something that would bluetooth connect to my phone and access the music on my sim card. Does anyone have a suggestion on this?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I'm on a Pioneer DEX-P99RS Ipod/anything USB.

Works well for me. Just plug in USB and mount it like you do a PC. reads all the tracks and ID3 tag info for you.

Not as fancy as bluetooth, but it works. This head unit maybe a bit high for most people. This was my first Pioneer, I was always an Alpine guy until now. I will never buy another Alpine after hearing this thing.
[Hero CDMA General] sdotcarlisle:
does it do this for voice calls too or just music?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Depends on the adapter I think. Pioneer offers 2 that will connect through Ibus. I want to say it's just Music on mine, and the other actually has a Mic you can run...I'm in it strictly for the boom and to piss off the cops :cool:

OP, I had a pretty decent deck that did both voice and music over bluetooth...had a pretty decent little touchscreen on it, too...I'll try to remember what it was and get back to you.

I haven't tried since updating to a 2.1 ROM, but with the stock 1.5 I had lag issues running bluetooth audio to my stereo Moto headset. Mostly when using the radio at the same time, like pandora or if it decided to do a sync. I have an older Pioneer with a 3.5mm headphone hooked up, works amazing for me. Would be interested in finding out if the bluetooth works flawless.

in my experience kenwood got very fuzzy at high frequencies.

im hugeee into a2dp and the BEST quality chip is sony.

so ANY sony xplod MEX-BT series are amazingg.

i used to hate sony xplod until i tried the bt audio. i have the low end one i got for like 80 bucks. it only has an aux jack and bt but you cant tell a difference in aux and bt.

(im an audiophile too)

i tried kenwood and quality was lost badly for me. Dual brand is by far the worst bt quality on earth. pioneers were ok but low fidelity with a2dp.

anyways hopes that helps.

yea i was just about to post the kenwood mybad but i have had top of the line pioneers and aplines and they never had score one for kenwood
[Hero CDMA General] travlincablguy:
Since I drive a jeep with out a top most of the time I bought a brand from wal-mart called "Dual". I haven't ever had much luck with cheapy stereos but this one is pretty good. It does bluetooth, usb, 3.5mm, Ipod control, hd radio. All for 140 bucks, which hurts a lot less than 500 when someone else decides they need your stereo more than you do.
[Hero CDMA General] Nextelian:
Just bought this myself on eBay for $219 free shipping. Totally worth it, I was able to get rid of my AudioControl EQL equalizer because the sound quality was just that good. I'm having some issues getting 2.1 to remember the pairing, but other than that I can totally recommend the x994 on the merits.

Thanks Nextelian that's awesome news now I just need to find one for that cheap.

grabbed a vr3-VR500CSBT at Target on clearance for $45 for the girlfriend. Bluetooth works like a charm and call quality is excellent.
[Hero CDMA General] Dubbin_Irie:
Gotta say I picked up the dual at wally world for like 100. The bluetooth is pretty decent as far as the sound reception goes. Only gripe I have with it is when I would get a call the bluetooth wouldn't pick up but if I would call out then it would. That was before I got 2.1 on my hero. The music plays smoothly though. No connection issues at all either. Plus they are fairly cheap to be had at least if your concerned about that.
[Hero CDMA General] nighteyes_wolf:
Dunno if this was suggested, but my boyfriend got the Sony MEX-BT2800 and I connect my phone to it with little issues. Audio works very nicely, as well as calls, though the built in mic can throw some people off but make sure to switch it from the default low sensitivity to high sensitivity to pick up your voice better (picks up engine noise more but no worse than talking on my BT headset). I really need to get this for my car heh.
