Thanks for the link - i'll try it.

I also installed slideIT for now and it's doing good - maybe I'll buy it, when the trail is over...

[EVO 4G General] setite:
Does anyone know of a way to do this? I have the space to re-encode my entire music collection to a more friendly format, but it's a major PITA. I'm no audiophile, but I have a mid-range aftermarket car stereo system that tends to exacerbate flaws in ****ty music.

That being said, I have been utilizing the option Apple FINALLY opened up for iPhone that existed for years for iPod nano, which allows you to re-encode high bit-rate music on the fly to 128kbps AAC. This means that I have the 200+ KBPS music on my PC, and mobile friendly 128kbps AAC on the phone. It one of the few things I truly love about the iPhone, but it is also another one of those things that piss me off. Apple has driven me off a cliff by doling(s?) out existing features at their leisure to create the illusion of steady development.

So yea, does anyone know a way to do this for the upcoming Evo. I'm gonna be shopping around for a few memory cards to make up for the fact that I'm coming from a 32gb iPhone so it would be nice to be able to get as much as possible on a single 16gb card.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
sooo your wanting to know if you can encode on the fly on the phone? Or are you asking if you can encode everything you transfer when you hit transfer and have as little fuss as possible
[EVO 4G General] setite:
The latter. I am hoping for a syncing app that allows on-the fly encoding during sync that will not force me to permanently store mobile versions of music. I guess with memory cards I could encode mobile music straight to the card... Damn I think Apple has scrambled my brain to how easy things are in open and competitive systems... I think I'm switching just in the nick of time.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
Yeah...It would be pretty easy, just pick all the music and set the target for the encoding to the memory card, done. ID3 tags would take care of the sorting inside whatever program you use to play music so you could just dump all the music in one folder without having to worry about artist/album sorting.

Glad to see your shaking off the apple yoke! VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!
[EVO 4G General] setite:
Agreed. Viva La Evo! I guess now I just need to figure out the best codec to use.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
OGG is pretty good, I don't have much actually on my phone, I stream all of it off the internet using streamfurious or pandora
[Touch Cruise 2 General] amfatehi:
I have an HTC touch cruise 2 / iolite. The phone was bought by me in a state where it was asking me to enter a1b2c3 for it to let me enter the security code.

I do not have the security code either.. any idea on how to hard reset since the phone does not shut down normally.. nor does it let me perform a hard reset with the volume down key + enter button + power key.

Any idea or help will be really appreciated.

Sincerely,

Aziz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson911:
I have tried different roms, A LOT of different roms, and and all of them seem to be laggy and slow, including my original rom. :mad:

Could I be doing something wrong? or could the phone have some kind of error which causes a slow phone? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Are you doing full wipes when switching to a new ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson911:
Yep, full wipe!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Damn. Thats the only suggestion i had.

I did read somewhere that doing a nandroid backup, then a full wipe and restoring the nandroid will give you slightly better performance.

Its like doing a disk defrag on your pc/lappy apparently.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson911:
I just flashed SlideVillain 1.1.0 which seems ok at the beginning. But allready some apps have laggy respons ex Friendstream.

Just for comparing i played around with a friends iPhone which is blazing fast compared to my hero. Really snappy respons. I am so close to switching...

Help anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
2.1 ROMs are known to slow down for no apparent reason.

The ROM I'm using is still on fire, try it out for yourself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson911:
Ok, all I've tried is 2.1 roms, I'll look into Modaco soon. Thx!

Been running couple weeks, extremely quick and no lagg noticeable.

All other 2.1 ROMs are slow for me too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSF:
Really, what do you expect from such a crap CPU? Sometimes, i feel that an OMAP 180MHz is better than this qualcomm cpu without fpu (lol).

Sorry.. but this ****ty cpu is generally slow. eg:

- opening messages, mail, peep, etc takes seconds on mine.

- games runs baddly.

- flikering between screens is snappy (when there's no cpu stres).

- sometime even the notification bar is laggy, most of the time is ok.

- sound output via bluetooth is choppy, and even choppier when you try to play a youtube video. i think this is pathetic, sooo pathetic.

- scrolling in sites is horrible sometime (eg: first zoom out a site then scroll). scroll is fluent at initial zoom on many site, but there are sites where the scrolling sucks (eg: pocketnow, wordpress mobile sites, etc)

- process listing takes a few seconds :(. this should be instant..

- more that I can't remember ATM

(they should brand the company crapcomm)

PS: using the latest official firmware.
[Desire General] eesmm:
In the N1 General forum there was a great post done - 100% Fool Proof Guide to rooting & ROMs, and I was hoping that we could start a similar thread here.

Please feel free to comment on this post

- it is my hope that we can put together a great document for newbs like me in the future. THIS thread is for suggestions on what should be in the guide, not the guide itself. I will reserve the second post for compiling suggestions over the next couple of days.

I just ordered my Desire, and it should be with me in a week or two. I am disturbed by the USB/A2SD issues being encountered by some, and so when I root I want to get it right

imHo, the guide should include:

1) Definitions of Rooting, unlocking, goldcards, generic, kernel, radio and how these relate to future OTA updates. These are concepts which I am familiar with, but feel I know just enough to be dangerous to myself/my device

2) A ballpark comparison of the unique characteristics of ROMs available today (stock-like, minimalist, sense-free, tethering, etc)

3) A step-by-step guide to the most recommended flashing updates people are using today

4) Things to bear in mind if you are a win-x64 user (I understand this is a tripping point for some)
[Desire General] eesmm:
[Reserved for collating ideas]

1) Terminology:

Rooting

Unlocking

Goldcards

Generic

Kernel

Radio

OTA updates, and how they may be affected by flashing your Desire

2) Current ROMs available and their unique characteristics

3) Guide to flashing your desire

4) Win64 users - what to bear in mind
[Desire General] rolfd:
And a big warning that this rooting process can cause unexpected pain on your bank balance if you are unlucky at the minute :D
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I'd say to use the TinyCore method as I had nothing but issues doing it using W7 x64 - there's a guide on MoDaCo that's simple as anything - only a fool would get it wrong!!! :D

Find it here:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...inux-download-and-guide-easiest-and-best-way/

And my USB still works fine, not had any issues since rooting and am now happily using an MCRr2 ROM cooked to my liking :)
[Desire General] rolfd:
I'd have to agree. Tiny Core Linux was so simple to use. I'd never used Linux before and even I could do it!

I did see paul's tweet saying a new safer more reliable method was coming this week hopefully. If that's the case I'll be rooting like mad again!

New, safer, more reliable root method for Legend and Desire coming up next week (all being well). #mcr 7:28 PM May 14th via Tweetie http://twitter.com/PaulOBrien
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Only issues I've had was flashing the radio as part of a ROM - wouldn't have it so gonna try it on its own later this evening. Would be nice to get it all in one ROM but meh
[Desire General] deeren:
u guys are getting it wrong!!!!!!

me too i was saying the same thing last week when i was reading about the bricks and stuff. i didnt have any problems till 2 days ago. well let me tell you that the unrooting process went out wonderful... nothing wrong. i even flashed all the roms possible and even started cooking and porting some roms for my own use too.

the problem is not whether the method is complex or not. the ''brick'' does not happen while you are rooting the phone. nobody actually knows what triggers the damage. some get it on 1st attempt, some after 5-6 flashes, and some like me after numerous ones.

so in my opinion, i dont think you can say this is a safe method bla bla bla and i try to discourage ppl wanting to root ''for the moment''.
[Desire General] rolfd:
I totally agree, I try to at least warn people that there is a fair chance they will brick their device but this thread is about the best and easiest way to root.

At the end of the day if people know the risks and still want to go for it, then they may as well come here for the easiest method :D
[Desire General] cez10:
just a quick question guys as im a total noob in android and rooting, does this method also works with the desire and does not require a goldcard?
[Desire General] rolfd:
This method is for the desire!

If you choose to root, then you will only need a goldcard if your handset was network supplied and branded. If for example you bought it and it came in a plain box, and had no network branding on the software then you can do it without the gold card. I got mine from the Carphone Warehouse so it was unlocked and unbranded. I just rooted with the standard SD card.

The software number on my unbranded device is 1.15.405.4. Hope this helps.
[Desire General] pympster:
Refer to this
[Desire General] jayshah:
1) Nothing is foolproof. If you're a fool, don't root.

2) Foolproof implies pragmatic. The N1 is designed (basically) to be rooted so there's a universal method for all. The Desire wasn't, so things liks different bootloaders, branded phones and goldcards makes everyone just that little bit different. I mean, the HTC memory protection mean things like Adfree don't work out of the box (causes phone to reboot) - if you create a foolproof method we're just going to get threads about "zomg why wont dis app wrk on my fone" because they expect to be spoonfed everything.

hi guys,,in a couple of days I wanna buy this phone,,because I see its very beauty and smart..(Winmo 6.5 pro with a nice processor) ..but when I read threads in this section, I found there are some bugs for this phone.,and I become affraid to buy this phone...

do you have some reviews for this phone? I've read the review in many reviewsites,but I just wanna make it sure..review from the user is the most accurate one I think..^^..

HELP me please..I need review for the battery life, bugs,ad is it necesarry to update or modify the ROM?

thank you for the answers guys..I really2 hope to hear from you guys soon,,

:)
[Touch2 General] rick0889:
I have the Touch 2 and I'm getting 2 days out of the supplied battery. This includes sending emails, using the wireless and bluetooth feature and making/receiving an average amount of calls.

I have found the operating system (wm 6.5 not wm 6.5.3) to be fine for me for now. The phone is very compact and sits in the hand nicely. In my opinion the touch screen on the Touch 2 is more responsive than my TYTN II. It helps that is has the 528 mHZ processor on board, which really compliments wm 6.5

I've also found this to be a reasonably good review.

<mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=8015> Sorry I'm not permitted to post outside links at this stage, you'll have to copy and paste the link in your browser.

Over all I'm happy with the phone, it's no HD2 that's for sure but it doesn't have the HD2 price tag either. If you decide to buy one after you have weighed up the pros and cons, then I'd say you'd be reasonably happy with your purchase.

I know I am.

I've attached a pic of the Touch 2 and my TYTN II side by side (sorry about the poor light)

HI everybody

This icons pack is for all the colleagues in the medical field, they can be used with Skyscape programs, Merck medicus.. and many other medical resources

I used Macromedia fireworks 8 to creat these icons, so I'm not sure if you open them with Photoshop, you'll be able to edit the icons as you wish

I'm not a professional designer as you might know, and I still can't figure out how to make the glare part identical to the background..instead I use an oval shape.. it works, but it would be very nice if some knows how to create the glare shape in Macromedia fireworks...:p

some of the artwork in my icons have been taken from free icons, mainly on Deviantart or someother website, and AFAIK, the artists did not mention anything about reusing their icons...

anyway, if you find anything that infiltrate your copyright, let me know, and I'll take the offensive icon right away :)

You are free to use my icons in any way you want :D​

yeah, and if you have any icon in mind that is not here, let know the name of the medical program and preferably and icon or a screenshot, and I'll try to make it ASAP ;)​

edit1: just added some new icons, and changed the preview to show all the pack :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] D.O.C:
Thank you bro, Here u go with some that I've been gathering around the web to increase the collection. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hale:
do you have uptodate icon? i tried so hard but never find a nice icon. perhaps because it normally run on pc...

could you possibly make icon for archimedes 360 and harriet lane too? That would be great :) thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] duke911:
here you go, I hope you like them :cool:

BTW, thanks doctorcete for the contribution, I used some of the same icons in my set too :D, they look very nice

sorry for my late reply...but wow...this is veeerrryyy good :) Many thanks brother. I actually don't understand why it seems not a lot people reply in here. It took hours for me googling just to find this kind of thread :p

I post some icon which i took from some websites. the resolution is 100x100 pixel btw.
[Windows Mobile Themes] duke911:
thanks for your lovely comment :)

I guess there aren't many medical professionals here, and this is also partially my fault for not makaing an attractive preview... anyway, I made a new one, and I think it looks much better than the previous :p, hope this will stir things up a little :cool:

BTW, if you need any more icons, let me know...

cheers
[Windows Mobile Themes] hale:
actually there are :)

I put all my medical apps to folder and i think it would be great if the folder show some medical sign. I currently using the one from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591754(in attachment) which actually for ebook. I prefer based on yellow folder icon as it would make it similar to other folder(multimedia, tools icon folder) but i think you will have the most attractive one :D

I also need a good microolap chm reader icon...well i'm using it for reading medical chm ebooks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Oweida:

Would please tell me where did you get these icons from ??!

I already have finished replacing icons to yours but still I need more ,,, Thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] duke911:
I'm not sure I understand correctly, hope these are ok :D

well, as I said in the main post, most of these stuff are from deviantart.com and I found some of the others using Google, not to mention that I made some from scratch ;)

if you need any help with a particular icon, let me know, although I'll be away from home for a couple weeks, and working on my laptop is not very convenient
[Windows Mobile Themes] hale:
yes, yes, that's what i meant. Perfect :D another well done icon. Just some mistypo there. It should be "Microolap" not "Micoolap" :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] duke911:
hope these are better :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] hale:
this is perfect :) thx duke
[Windows Mobile Themes] jsmccabe78:

Cheers~
[Windows Mobile Themes] duke911:
thanks jsmccabe78 for the contribution, they look very nice :D

I'll try to add some new icons later... in case someone needs a specific icon, you can post your request here, and I'll try to do it in my free time ;)

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Themes] hale:
hi could i request another icon for:

1. diagnostic approach to sign and symptom in pediatric (skyscape)

http://www.skyscape.com/estore/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=1035

2. Pediatric nutrition handbook (skyscape)

http://www.skyscape.com/estore/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=2598

2. Medical Wizard ER Suite (Original icon is quite nice....but i prefer a curved edge like all your icon :) )

3. Lingvosoft dictionary (yes, i know it's not medical application but i often use it for translate medical journal)

Sorry if it's too much...thanks before
[Windows Mobile Themes] duke911:
here you go ;)

I've also made "American Academy of Pediatrics" icon. you might want to use it with some program or website

Can you upload the icon of Medical Wizard ER Suite. I could not find a nice one to convert it to one of my icon

All of the icons are in the zip file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hale:
Greattt icon :D

sorry duke no wonder you fail to get medical wizards icon. the right one is EM Suite. ER suite is an old apps name...
[Windows Mobile Themes] duke911:
hey dude

The icon was not very clear, so I made one from scratch

there is another first aid icon if you like to use as well

cheers
[Windows Mobile Themes] hale:
Very nice duke...many thanks to you bro. Sorry for taking ur time :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hale:

Guys dont yell at me but I cant find the answer ? How do I add a custom message alert ? All i see is android system cant seem to add from mem card ?

I can add ring tones but not alert tones ?

sorry ment to say its stock software thats on the G1

Mark
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Six6Sicks:
On your sd card make sure you have a folder named "audio"

Then inside that folder make these 3 folders "alarms", "notifications", "ringtones"

Place your alert sounds in the folders.

New ringtone? "ringtones" folder

New message? "notifications" folder

New Alarm? "alarms" folder.

Obviously don't have the " " s when naming the folders.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiznom:
Rings Extended

Mark you might also try the app called "Rings Extended". It's free and will let you pick any audio file for ringtones/notifications/etc.

[Nexus One General] knightnz:
I've been playing around with various Nexus ROMs, MCR, Cyan's, Enomthers etc. and NONE of them have been able to receive MMS messages from my provider. I get the notification but get "Download failed" when trying to actually download it.

I just installed r22 of Paul O'Brian's Desire port, and MMS receiving now works using identical APN settings that I've tried previously.

This suggests to me that HTC is doing something different in their MMS backend, as I had the same problem with my Hero, stock ROM and any 1.5 variant could not receive MMS, used the Eris 2.1 leak and bang, MMS receiving started going.

I'd rather stick to using a Cyanogen ROM, any ideas how I might be able to identify what's causing the difference in ability and how I might migrate the difference over, or is it going to be something fairly low level that's going to be beyond me?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alphabet Soap:
for you Uk folks, the O2 joggler is down to the ridiculous price of fifty quid again. 1ghz atom processor, capacitive 7" touchscreen and ridiculously easy to run Android (or ubuntu netbook) on - from a USB stick, so you don't even need to mess about with the built in rom.

http://shop.o2.co.uk/joggler

had mine for a few weeks and android is running nicely with no real problems (fairly slow swiping to the next desktop screen though, but with the stats of the thing it presumably just needs a bit of optimising). It's mains power only though, no battery, but fifty quid for a very hackable little thing is a bargain...

So, anyone want to make a slightly more pimped out rom for it than the vanilla one here http://jogglerwiki.info/index.php?title=Android_Prebuild_Image ?
