ok, first off you might want to uninstall setcpu to get rid of any previous settings you have. then reinstall it and follow these instructions from a previous post

1. Install SetCPU, if you haven't already. It's available here on XDA for free and for $0.99 on the Market.

2. In SetCPU, choose the "HTC Hero/Tattoo [MSM7k Turbo]" option from the device selection menu. The CPU will happily ignore you, but setting it to this means that you won't enter a reboot loop after patching when SetCPU starts and overclocks your CPU entirely too much.

3. Make sure the "Set on Boot" option is unchecked, until you're absolutely certain that the settings you've got won't freeze your phone. Also, turn off profiles.

4. Flash the latest kernel-overclock-update-v*.zip below, using your favorite method, and boot your phone. Note that this kernel update will not overclock your phone until SetCPU tells it to -- the default policy is 245.76MHz min, 528MHz max, ondemand.

5. Start SetCPU, hit menu, and go to device selection. This time, select "Autodetect Settings". Change the governor to "performance" (which means it will always use the highest frequency in the range), and start incrementing the max up from 528MHz, one step at a time, releasing your finger each step (SetCPU applies the change when you let go of the slider), until your phone freezes.

6. Remember the bit about not checking the "Set at Boot" option? This is why. Reboot your phone (this will probably involve pulling the battery, if the phone didn't reboot on its own), and start SetCPU again. SetCPU very nicely shows you the last settings you saved, but does not apply them, which is nice because those settings will lock your phone. Lower the max setting to something that won't lock your phone, put the governor back to "ondemand", and set up profiles how you like.

after you have done all of this you can then have set at boot checked

I cant even get past step 2. I re installed it and it still freezes on me. :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] abn75:
not sure then. someone else will have to help you out with it, thats about all i can tell you. are you sure you have root access?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lilbballer27:
My friend did it yesterday and he said he put root on there. How can I tell forsure?
[Droid Eris Android Development] T.C.P:
what rom are you using? and might i suggest using the setcpu from ivanmmj
[Droid Eris Android Development] lilbballer27:
I think he put the official 2.1 rom on. I found it on androidforums.
[Droid Eris Android Development] T.C.P:
if its the official 2.1 then its not rooted, if you want to see if its rooted check your app drawer and tell us if u see and app that say super user?? if so then yes u r rooted
[Droid Eris Android Development] lilbballer27:
Yes that is there, but when I click it it just stays at a black screen and wont open. Wtf is going on here :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] abn75:
Bad ROM flash maybe?
[Droid Eris Android Development] T.C.P:
y dont u just flash a custom rom that has it already in it??
[Droid Eris Android Development] lilbballer27:
No idea how to do that or what rom to pick. My frined literally did everything yesterday I sat there and played xbox lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] abn75:
so you really have no idea what was done to your phone?? and the roms are simple to install, look at the different rom threads, see which one you think you might like and follow the instructions on installing them. make sure you do a nand backup before you install them though. instructions for all of this can be found in this forum
[Droid Eris Android Development] T.C.P:
lol well might i recommend using this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=652044

download it put in on the root of your sd card, turn phone off, hold vol up and power at the same time, wipe data, flash rom from sd card, and sit back and enjoy :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] lilbballer27:
yes literally no idea. So how do I wipe it all first cuz there is already a rom on there? or is that in the instructions also?

Plus can I brick my phone if done wrong? Id rather not do that lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] T.C.P:
or if u have im them im me
[Droid Eris Android Development] lilbballer27:
Just sent you a pm.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
first download a good ROM like Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0, unless you already have (it's a .zip file).

Put that on your SD card (do you know how to do this? if not, then stop here, and ask, otherwise go to the next step).

Turn off your phone. Hold the VOLUME UP botton while powering it back on. It will boot into Recovery. Go to Backup/Restore. do a 'nand backup' of your phone. It takes 2 minutes or so.

Then use VOL DOWN to go to the last menu (it tells you at the top to do this). Then go to Wipe and then select Factory/data reset. Then also from that menu choose Wipe Dalvik Cache.

Then press VOL DOWN to go to the last menu (it tells you at the top to do this). Then select 'Flash Zip from SD Card'. Select the .zip file you downloaded (Eris_Official_1.0OC.zip or whatever it's called). (It'll take five minutes to flash).

Then Reboot the phone (this will take 5-10 minutes, don't worry how long it takes. Any time you wipe dalvik cache, this will happen. it's supposed to).

Your phone will start up brand new.

If you've gotten this far, then you probably want to flash that kernel you have, Zanfur's overclock kernel. That one's a little better than what comes with Ivan's Eris_Official. If you get this far, then come back and post again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] T.C.P:
ok now that ur done enjoy ur fast phone :cool:

BIG THANKS TO TCP! :D and all the others that posted help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfman87:
Hey guys,

About a week ago I started rapidly losing battery life.

I've done a bunch of research and installed task killers, OS monitors, Spare Parts, etc. I've uninstalled apps that had wake_lock and done a Reset to Factory Defaults,changed the brightness, as well as performed a recalibration for the battery (one cycle). I also turned the phone to Airplane mode since I moved offices and thought maybe that was a problem.

I am not sure why this is the problem, but I have notices through spare parts that my phone does not go to sleep. The time it gives for Time without Sleeping (under "other Usage->Last Unplugged) is typically about the same time as I have had it off the charger. The phone will not last a full day anymore (Actually I'm lucky if it's still on when I get home from work). The only program that I can think of is the new maps application.

Here are my questions:

1) Is there a good way to find out if there is a specific program that is not allowing sleep (w/o uninstalling everything and adding them back one by one)?

2) How do I fix this problem? Would a hard reset work?

3) General:Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Why wont my phone go to sleep?

4) Could this have anything to do with the new maps/navigation update that Google sent out OTA last week?

Right now it has not slept for over 5 hours, but I been pressing the power button (not turning it off) when I put it down.

I ca provide a list of programs if that helps, probably some statistics too

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
In Spare Parts under Battery usage, there is a "Partial wake usage" option. Did you check that to see what is keeping it awake?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfman87:
Since Last Unplugged:

Android System: 6m 16s (blue bar)

Dialer: 1m 40s (blue bar)

Facebook: 56s

Google: 44s

Media 28s

Google Voice: 20s

Calendar: 20s

Messaging 4s

None of that seems to make sense when you look at:

Other Usage: Time Spent Without Sleeping: 6h 36m 1s..

Maybe I am mis-reading it?

Thanks!

I have an english ROM but dont wanna flash the german ROM

just need a German language package to view or write sth in German.

Can somebody make this happen? for exampe a cab file...

Thanks a lot!:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mideel:
which rom you are on? in most cases you can change your sense-language to german with bsbtweaks, depending if the languagefiles are included in rom.

And you want to write something in german? Xt9 or what? just change your input-language to german.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] heuteabendwo:
actually i installed a software which is developed in German.

there are sth which could not be showed correctly in Germn.

I dont know why...maybe it is because of language missed?

Therefore I guess i should get a german langauge package
[HD2 General] remo32001:
Hey im having some problems my Hd2

Is there anyway of removing programs off the phone so that they dont

appear on remove program list. I have several programs that i just cant get off my phone.

And i dont want to factory reset.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
programs that are there by default when you hard reset are built into the rom and cannot be removed.
[HD2 General] remo32001:
i knoe im just refering to recent installs like cht editor and cookies home tab
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Two things that work for me:

1) Use MemMaid...it has options in its cleaning cycle that can clear out junk that should have been uninstalled, it sometimes helps in these cases.

2) Run the cab to install the app (CHT or whatever) again...it will tell you it needs to uninstall the previous verison, then it will say it can't uninstall the previous version...just click ok and let it go through the full process again. It will look like it's installing, but if you soft-reset when it's done, you'll likely find that the app is gone, and it's not in your uninstall list anymore either. Don't ask me why this works, but I've used it succesfully many times.

EDIT: Also, for the future, make sure that when you're uninstalling (and even installing) apps like CHT that alter sense in some way, that you turn sense off beforehand.
[HD2 General] tarekkkkk:
hello everyone as the title says , sometimes im out of the home and my hd2 freezes in a stupid way , how can i reset the device without using a small pencil or whatever you use :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Ive never used the reset button, far too fidly. just pull the battery for a few seconds.
[HD2 General] tarekkkkk:
ok i know you can do that but it might damage your phone or not :confused: arnt there any combination of buttons and voila reset occurs :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
only by powering off using long press end. Then restart with end. Thats the same, nut of course if its frozen then thgat wont work.

Just pull the battery, everyone does it, no ones said anything about damage.
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
try this

Normally when it freezes up you can still get to the start menu for some reason so all you have to do is get the xdashutdown program and install it and move it to the top of your start menu then whenever it happens you just hit start then hit xdashutdown and then wait a few for it to come up and hit reset. I am impatient so I just pull the battery as well and I have never noticed any problems with that either.
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Search for "Long Press End Key Soft Reset". It saves me a lot from opening the cover.
[HD2 General] tarekkkkk:
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[HD2 General] Mark Crouch:
I've got XDAShutDown installed, plus the Long Press End key malarky, but my "invention" :D is to keep a slightly opened paper clip on top of the battery (it gets held in place by the foam on the inside of the battery cover), which I can use to poke the reset button. It also serves to hold the battery firmly in place when the battery cover is on, so it's doubly useful!!

I'm not a big fan of "pulling batteries" - when (if?) your PC dies/hangs/crashes, you don't rip out the mains power lead, do you :o ??? No, you either hold in the power button or you press the reset button (if you have one) on the front panel.

Just my $0.02 - do with it what you will ;)

Mark.

i`ve ported a simple black bar from other theme sources (thx for let me steal the images :D) for CM-5.0.7-T2-N1.

use it only with CM-5.0.7-T2-N1! will not work with "15 recent apps mod"!

i`ve also done a default white bar update.zip if you want to revert.

install: flash from recovery

black bar: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/887731/Black_Bar_5.0.7t2.zip

default white bar: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/887731/Default_Bar_5.0.7t2.zip
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] markouk:
Thanks so much for this. I've been looking for it since 507T2 was unleashed.

It's been bugging me and I've not had time to work out how to do it myself.

Much appreciated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] markouk:
Any chance you could do this over again and have green highlights/selections like desire with the same black bar?

I had the Kspec Monster theme on and I love the desire effects but it had the standard greyish notification bar.

I don't know how to fix it up myself and I tried once and got stuck in bootloop!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] icegad:
Batttery meter needs aligning if using with kspecs battery icons..:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paratox:
some notifications from apps (for example quick settings) in the "ongoing" pull down section have black font. black font on black background is not quite readable.^^

all other notifications in the pull down section are white, only the third party apps notifications have black font.

does anybody know where to change this font color?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paratox:
hmmm, the black font in some notifications is a problem with black item backround.

so i changed status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png to default white and focus and pressed to desire green. updated version with screenhot in first post. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] stmasi:
So, are there any ports yet for the Kaiser that have ALL of the following working?

Bluetooth

Camera

GPS

WiFi

It's either find a ROM with everything working (as this is my only device and everything needs to work out of the gate), or jump ship with T-Mobile, move to Verizon, and snag the Incredible.

Thanx.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
yes.......
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] stmasi:
Okay, which one(s)? I've looked through all the posts (I think...lost track), but haven't found one yet that isn't missing at least one of those prereqs. Thanx.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Myn's Warm Donut.

Of course, this depends on your definition of working, I know that camera works, gps, wifi, and bluetooth, however all still have some issues, so if you require these to work with the same efficiency and stability as winmo, we simply are not completely there yet.

No eclair builds have working camera yet.

However not everyone is fortunate enough to always have all of the above working reasonably well in any single build, not without a little hacking and patching at any rate.

To be honest, if your kaiser is your only phone, test drive with a haret install, and decide if you can live with android, personally I can't live without it now :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] stmasi:
That's just what I needed to hear. I'm off to port my account to VZW and pick up that incredible Incredible! Thanx.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
If I had the option, I'd do the same, lol, I love my Kaiser, but sooner or later I will have to upgrade, and now only Android will do :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
haha quite right. Once you try android, theres no turning back, not to winmo atleast. Its amazing how stupid ms has been and lost all their power users, and most normal users too, even with the release of wp7.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
And of course M$ has shot themselves in the foot (again), saying that 'older' devices will not be supported in WM7 so no upgrades. Someone needs to tell M$ we're in a resession! as not all of us can afford a new phone, so with no support and our phones now out of warranty we can do what we like, so bye bye M$ ! :)

I actually like my phone, paid a lot for it, so if I can breathe new life into it with better software then that's good news, its certainly up to the job, just have to be patient and wait for the ports to mature and bugs to be fixed, but that's the great thing about open source, we can fix it without having to wait for M$ to do it, fantastic, just wish I was clever enough to develop/tinker with, the code.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Funny thing is, I have a Diamond and a Blackstone, both are obviously newer and more advanced than my kaiser, but neither can run Android in Nand yet, so they usually sit in a drawer, until the day that someone figures out how to do what has only been done on older hardware so far, namely a bootable Android that does not depend on M$, or HTC for that matter.

My kaiser is the envy of a number of my colleagues, two of whom have Android phones, but having used mine they say that it may be a little slower, but it looks and feels much nicer, and I have had more than one request to swap my kaiser for a Dream, which tempted me for about 15 seconds.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scientist1956:
Wait a second. I just tried Android(Warm Donut) on my Tilt and I am about to go back to WinMo(AthineOS) which has everything working great and seems to be much cooler to use. I wonder what is so great about Android such that there is no turning back for you? Is it the apps cause I have WinMo stacked with some apps that can do much of what im seeing with Android if not better. The TouchFlo in WinMo is much more fluid than in what I experienced with Android. The interface looks better.

Hopefully, some of you can elaborate more on why Android on the Kaiser is considered better (or even worth it) considering what WinMo can do.

Maybe I am missing something cause I thought Android OS would be something special.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Not sure quite what it is, yes, Android may be slower than winmo, however unless you stick with Stock 6.1 you are always walking that fine line between stability and instability, on either OS.

I tried various custom roms, 6.1 and 6.5, and all of them suffered from small niggling annoyances, ( personal opinion, my use of my phone differs from that of the chef, and consequently what may be a great rom for some, may not be for others), Android has been the same really, however what I get from it is 'look and feel', I know thats a bit of a cop out, but thats what the difference is to me, winmo, with any ui, just felt awkward to use for some things, for me Android is smoother and more intuitive, and thats after a lot of years using windows pda/phone devices, from my ipaq 3660 to date almost everything else I have used has been windows based.

I know others will perhaps disagree, or see things differently, but for me windows on mobile devices will never seem the same, thats why I chose Android, with all the bugs and problems we have on devices it was not designed for, over an old, and dare I say, obsolete, OS.

And having been around since the early days of porting Android to kaiser, it's been damn exciting too, something I never felt with Windows Mobile for a long time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Despite that XDA seems to be more about newer phones then outdated models like ours, more people own those older phones then HD2 or Nexus One's. Simply because even with the discount from carriers, it still costs too much to upgrade.

Plus, a lot of these phones do end up as hand me downs. So they don't go away that easily. Plus, my Kaiser is built like a brick. Despite it's crazy flip up screen (which I love), it didn't break.

Despite being old, it's hardly outdated. The hardware is more then capable of doing 99% of the things I wanna do on my smart phone. About 25% surfing the web, 25% playing games, 10% as GPS, and 40% as a music or movie player.

My only complaint is the battery life sucks, and the camera sucks. More concerned about battery life then camera though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Battery life is a bigger problem in Android, however as with everything android, new habits are good, like putting it on charge every night, always sees me though the day, which usually consists of music playing, facebook, news, texting and occasional gps use, never been below 40% battery at night, apart from once or twice when i forgot to switch the music player off and drained it completely.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xPreSiDenT:
I completely agree with zenity, its mostly about the look and feel of android, somehow it just seems much more better and actually like an OS for a phone, instead of a stripped down version of windows 95 or something. Ive been using winmo for a very long time too, going through wm 2003 to wm5, wm6 and wm6.x, and it was my firm belief that it was the most advanced, if not the most user friendly mobile OS out there. And if you look at the direction winmo is headed to now, youd steer clear of it for precisely the same reason.

But android is much more finger friendly, and even though it may not have equivalents of the most advanced software that winmo had(although I admit I havent looked around that much, android is based on linux and well it certainly doesnt lack the capability), I've found equivalents of all of the software I used in winmo. And the apps are free and nicer, with better UIs. Plus android seems to be well thought out, both in functionality and design. Ofcourse there are problems, but those are mostly due to the porting part of the process. I also had to go through minor changes in habits, but everythings settled down now.
