When I flash the signed update to my phone, it says it's all well, but after rebooting I see that nothing changed and my old rom is still on the go.
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Wipe all data before flashing as you can read everywhere, factory rest, cache, ext partition on SD, you must wipe all before you flash update.zip.

Can I use this method for Froyo (2.2) ROMs or I can use this only for 2.1?
[Desire Android Development] albino71:
I downloaded Pays BS 2.0, unzipped it using 7zip, dropped some apps from the system/app dir (see below), zipped it using 7zip before i signed it.

All went well so far...

Then flashing the zip generated an error (don't know exactly what it was anymore. It was kinda late last night :p. I will post the error later).

Anyway it was after verifying the zip.

Deleted apk's:

com.htc.FriendStreamWidget

com.htc.MusicWidget

com.htc.NewsReaderWidget

com.htc.StockWidget

com.htc.TwitterWidget

com.htc.WeatherWidget

DCSStock

HtcTwitter

Am i doing something wrong?

Tnx for your reply!

DO you have JAVA installed? Not SDK, jsut normal java from java.com , im not sure if its that, but i dont see why it works for 90% ppl, and not for 10%..

What stuff did you remove from the rom?

Yep, that's the one! Got the same error....

Damn...i know for a fact that java was NOT, i repeat, NOT installed on my laptop. Just today i installed MuCommander and it needed Java.

Custom Rom Big Problem

Im making my own rom tailored for me based on MCR3.1 but ive encountered 2 problems.

All seems to work well like adding my own apps and moving stuff to the sd card but 2 things wont work

1 - Custom boot animation doesnt work? Just shows default animation

2 - Circle battery mod doesn't have percentage in the middle

Any ideas??
[Desire Android Development] ratchetnclank:
Make sure the boot animation zip is in Data>local.

Custom ROM Problems

I keep trying to compile my own rom using other people's as base and then just added on a few applications or removing a few applications (maybe theme).

Everytime I compile a ROM, I flash it and it causes a boot-loop. This maybe because Windows compresses the files weird, but I'm really confused of why this happens.

Can anyone help me ? Give me some advice on what programs to use to compile these ROMs etc.

Any help would be great

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
I use winrar. Basically all you need to do is open the .zip then go to system then app. In there you delete the apk's you don't want, and put in the ones you do. Then save it, and close winrar. I don't actually unzip the files then rezip them. There is no need.

You need to be careful what apk's you delete though.
[Desire Android Development] shoey-n:
What about signing the applications though ?
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
if you use fake flash then they don't need signed, but anyway, I used THIS method and the downloads in it.

Edit: I mis-read your post. Signing apps isn't something I've looked at as I've only used apk's from the usual sources and ones I've downloaded.
[Desire Android Development] shoey-n:
Okay, thanks a lot. So I'm guessing the ROMs were never working because of the way Windows compresses them. I'll try out the steps in that link tomorrow and report back

Is there any way of getting the £ sign on the keyboard, only have $, I have set the language to English, but does not give me an option for "proper" English or american English.
[Desire General] sh500:
I remember seeing another post similar to this one. Unless there have been further developments, typing the £ sign takes a few clicks 1) The number key 12# and 2) The 1/2 key.

I remember someone made a customisible keyboard for Windows devices in that you could change many functions of the keyboard layout. Not sure what's available for Android though.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Yeah, its on the 2nd page when you click on the numbers button...annoying as hell!!
[Desire General] b0yce:
They should put a few more signs on the f long keypress (2nd row of characters) than just the dollar sign. Something like $£€ would be better!
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Agreed, might be worth emailing them (although they'll prob just ignore it!!)
[Desire General] Apk1:
Thanks Guys, I am sure on my TP2 you could set the region as English UK, which would then give you £ on main keyboard, I suppose that's progress!
[Desire General] pergolesi:
According to the outgoing Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Liam Byrne, "There's no money left". Maybe that's why there's no £ sign!!!

I've read that some radio updates aren't working with the orange network or orange branded desires. Eitherway, it locks me out.

I'm having really frustrating issues with data and I wondered if any radio updates were usable on Orange...

[Desire General] geektastic:
don't think so mate, would love to see one. my connection is far too shaky for my liking.

i know you can update to the latest one (1.406.xx i believe) and reroot to stop the 'sim-lock' but i have heard it doesn't address any of the issues so I haven't bothered personally.
[Desire General] PaulW21781:
Its only handsets which were originally branded by Orange that are affected.

I'm running a sim-free Desire with my existing Orange SIM Card, and have the latest radio ROM (32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2).

If you flash that update (latest radio) to an Orange supplied phone (regardless if you rooted it and unbranded it), it will activate the SIM lock, and you have to then roll back the radio rom to an older version for it to work again.

Also, just to note, I did notice a great improvement over the old stock radio rom in regards to signal and data performance.
[Desire General] WillyVWade:
Rub it in why don't you?
[Desire General] PaulW21781:
I'm not sure how it affects Orange phones if you disable the SIM lock with a code, it may or may not re-lock it...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Paul, you get my PM by chance?
[Desire General] templebar:
You can use updated radio files if you SIM Unlock (I used htcunlock.com)

What state will my Radio fimware be in as a buyer of an Orange UK phone who has just flashed to a generic 1.15.405.4? Roughly how would I go about updating to the latest radio firmware? 3G and HSDPA signal is very poor.

(Please forgive my ignorance!)
[Desire General] WillyVWade:
You'll have to have it sim-unlocked (By some one like HTCcode) then you can update to the latest....
[Desire General] bedeabc:
Thanks... and what is the procedure after unlocking? How is the update applied?
[Desire General] WillyVWade:
Anyone know?

Look at the threads on this site for information on 'rooting' and 'flashing' your device.
[Desire General] bedeabc:
So you're saying I can't just flash a radio update as I did my generic ROM? You need root to apply radio updates?

[HD2 General] quickc:
Thanks in advance to any and all who can help. I just purchased an HD2 in Taipei, Taiwan. When I bought it I was told that I could switch the language from Chinese to English, but I was unable to find the setting. When I went back to ask at the store for help they said that they only meant I could change the text input to English, not the OS.

So... I downloaded and flashed the HD2 (SPL - 1.42.000) with HSPL 1.0. Then I dowloaded the Xannytech Pandora1_6.rar and flashed the phone again.

When the phone restarted it went through the configuration and all looked good, until I tried to make a phone call. Then the screen froze and it would not restart. After a hard reset all that came up was the white HTC startup screen. After a factory reset, the phone when through its config again, but froze after a few minutes.

I wonder if there could be an issue with the radio settings, but that is pure speculation as I hardly know what a radio setting is. Any ideas for resurrecting this sleeping beauty would be greatly appreciated!
[HD2 General] Savage-wp:
This does sound like a radio mismatch problem.

Look in the Xannytech ROM forum, and see which radio's the ROM is compatible with. Then download from the RADIO thread and flash the radio.

Would that even be possible with a mod/cab? its silly to have a GPU which is not bad (its drivers are horrible though-thank god for xda devs for 3rd party ones) and running sense and the whole graphical menu from CPU and not render them from GPU..just look how much smoother are the phones that do (iphone, bb , droid )..if it is possible , could it be cooked into roms? because that would be so, oh so great..
[HD2 General] chris2busy:
Hmm..Quite a few views , yet no replies...Anyone here care to share their POV ? :)
[HD2 General] TicKByT:
I wasnt aware that the GUI is rendered by the phone CPU rather than GPU. But then again, does this phone have a dedicated GPU?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the gpu is part of the cpu, no? i thought it was all on one chip.
[HD2 General] chris2busy:
True that...Yet i have read that winmo do not use the GPU acceleration to run/render the menu(e.t.c) graphics..this is my source (where i have read this)

:

http://www.techautos.com/2010/03/14/smartphone-processor-guide/
[HD2 General] chris2busy:
Could there possibly be a tweak for this?or it is managed deeply into the os core , so it cannot be touched?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'd be very suprised if it were possible to change the way the software works on such a fundamental level. At a guess, it would mean a rewrite of the OS so that anything sat on top of it automatically used the GPU when rendering for the screen. This is obviously not something that would ever happen.

That's just my understanding of the subject though, and I could be mistaken.
[HD2 General] chris2busy:
Heh..I know i am noob when it comes to winmo os utilization :P its no secret..I just thought it would be like a registry tweak to change the part used to process the image output ;p oh well..we never stop learning (and obviously have to begin from somewhere)
[HD2 General] paulrgod:
I actually thought Sense was already rendered by the GPU? According to the new Chainfire 3D driver - Sense is detected as being accelerated by the driver so must be using the GPU..
[HD2 General] aegidios2:
The snapdrgon gpu is the AMD Z430 no ?

You can install Swype with a simple CAB
