UPX will compress .DLLs .EXEs, and .MUIs. The problem is they don't always decompress.

I have no problems UPXing .DLLs, but you have to test them.

I always test with the UPX -d option to ensure that they decompress.

If it doesn't decompress, then you're out of luck with that particular file.

Sometimes they decompress, but still won't work properly because the resources get screwed up, in this case using the option "--compress-resources=0" increases my success rate.

the full command line I use is:

UPX *.dll -f --compress-resources=0 --compress-exports=0 --strip-relocs=0 --best --ultra-brute

then to test them:

UPX *.dll -d

I get a high rate of success, but there are occasionally files that won't work.

If it's a large dll with many resources, you can export the resources and compress them (use less colors/detail) and that will help. Dithering can cause a image to become much larger.

if the three finger salute is performed it gets stuck in the t mobile g1 screen.

now for the odd part i have lost my sdcard somehow and cant remember what i was doing that caused it to become this way. i am a noob, so if some says use the search function believe i have and cant make any sense of it still... any HELP is appreciated and thanks in advance!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
What happens when you start your phone by holding home+power, does it go into recovery? IF so, which recovery do you have? If you have any of the Amon_RA, JF, CM or ClockworkMode recoveries - then you can just wipe and flash a rom of your choice. You do need another SD card.

If you have a stock recovery or cant get into it- then you need to flash DREAIMG.nbh. Again, you need a new SD card for that.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
If he has a stock recovery, he can always go with an OEM update.zip.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kntdookoo:
You have probably flashed a ROM that requires Hard SPL..Or just messed something up wtih your first try.

yea I would try starting over...check out one of cyanogens threads
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Buy a new sdcard, they're cheap on amazon. You can easily find a 2 gb for $5-10 shipped, and bigger ones are not that much more. I bought an 8gb class 6 for $23 and it even included an sdcard reader. If you don't want to do that, borrow one and stick an DREAIMG.nbh on it, root it, then flash CM5.0.7 stable. What you have is not a brick, you just deleted the system and/or recovery partitions from your phone and must restore them.

This app works great with our gps modul.

Just install version 2.6 and the gps is set automatic on com 2.

In your Navigation software only put it on com 2 and it works great ^^

It's freeware :cool:

Mods,

Are the Relentless Appz posts being deleted because they contravene rules #7 and #11 about selling?

If so, fine, but if not - are they otherwise dodgy and to be avoided or is it just a forum rule thing?

TIA

NB - Don't mean to stir up a fire. Feel free to delete this thread and just PM me the answer if you prefer.
[Nexus One General] allofusjw:
I too would like to know. Anyone have any first hand experience? I'd considered giving their rom roaster a try. Thought it was a bit shady for them to make their member name "admin-xda." That made me take a step back. Anyone with any first hand experience with these guys?
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Well, this is going to get bumped until I get an answer (or it's deleted...).

Anyway, I've purchased the software and am getting active and responsive support from the developer. Having said this we're working through some installation challenges (might be my system, we don't know).

I've taken one for the team and now have considerable experience in packaging and bundling roms so will apply this software to my Kang-o-rama build to see how it suits.

I will write a review of the software when I have used it sufficiently and post that here on XDA.

In the meantime, I recommend you wait although so far I feel this guy (the dev) is honest and just trying to do a good job. We will see.
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
Just curious - what is it that you want to do with your ROM when cooking it yourself?
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Well, to be honest I'm sceptical it will help me. But, it may and I'm willing to check it out on behalf of other XDA users and report back. The 5 quid isn't much to me but may be for others.

Also, because I've been building Kang-o-rama I think I'm in a good position to objectivity review the software.

On first appearances and based on the specs I think this has the potential to be quite a useful resource for junior rom builders... but that remains to be seen. If it works then really, it will be quite a nice solution for many because it's apparently a little more flexible than the various online kitchens.

Additionally, my communication so far with the dev has been positive and it really does appear as if he's got a personal interest in helping out the community. Of course I can't vouch for this fully yet.

Finally, if it actually allows me to save my build as versioned projects and simply execute the build from a single interface it may actually save me some time.

Having said all this, I've now practically automated my entire build so I suspect most of the value of my purchase might just be the potential review on XDA... we will see.
[Nexus One General] hilaireg:
As I'm certain you know, there are many facets to a situation; and contrary to any announcements or statements you may have seen, this was not a targeted attack by a specific moderator. The owner of Relentless Appz clearly understands why the account suspension was placed for a third time.

I'm not going to get into providing the details about the action taken. I will say however, that several weeks of ongoing deliberation and discussions amongst Moderators/XDA Admins led to this action. As a sufficient number of forum rules were violated, and in the best interest of the members of this community, it was unanimously decided that this was the most appropriate course of action.

Hi,

I just uninstalled MM taskmanager, and everytime I boot up my device I get an error say "File 'MMTaskManagerHook' could not open.", how do i fix this? tried a search in registry for MMtaskmanager, and could only find a .lnk to it :( also tried a reg-cleaner.. how do I remove this annoying thing?

I've been staring at Proporta's Advanced Screen Protector ( http://www.proporta.co.uk/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4646&t_mode=des ) and the invisibleSHIELD Full Body Protector ( http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/invisibleshield-full-body-protector-htc-touch-pro2-p20624.htm ) for a while now and I can't make my mind up as to which is better.

I know both make decent products, and the price difference doesn't concern me so much - I want quality. Has anybody used either (or both) and can recommend one or the other?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] xyberviri:
this is the one i used.

this is the one i used for mine and its awsome, you can find it on amazon.com

LCD Screen Guard Protector for Sprint HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA)

ASIN: B002RCM4JY

Its like the original one that came with the phone. its smooth and easy as hell to put on. came out to 3.00 with shipping, i bough two of them for 6.00 its one of those werid pricing things on amazon.

look in the second picture thats the one you woudl be getting if you order it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] nasapunk88:
mine

I have the Full Body Zagg invisibleSHIELD. While it is pretty decent there are quite a few problems im having. It can easily be due to me failing at applying but what ive noticed is the Back cover is starting to come up around the edges. Under alot of head (tethering with wifi etc battery gets hot + its 90degrees outside) the glue used to keep it attach starts to unstick and gives movement =( not good

1 other point is it doesn't cover the Silver front face edge. Im not sure if any will but thats the one area i do get scratched alot =( so i just use scrapes and made my own.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dubzah:
I would get the Bodyguardz full body kit, as theres actually cover the chrome part unlike the invisibleSHIELD.

You can get the product from Expansys.com for 21-ish quid with shipping you also get two sets unlike the Zagg.

Currently I am using the ICON Rom from over there and it has been the closest thing to flawless. I was wondering if the ROMs here are the same as what is available over there. I'm really just trying to get the most stable setup that I can because I'll be handing the phone over to my wife as soon as I can get my hands on a EVO 4G.

[HD2 General] ssconceptz:
Ok, I did use the search feature and I did find information but I just want to verify that it is correct. From what I seen to update from a Custom ROM with HSPL to the Official 2.13 Update you have to do the following:

1. Flash the 2.13 Update

2. Run HSPL again but this time select (in my case) 2.08.00 instead of 2.08.00 HSPL which should flash the stock SPL onto the phone.

Is this correct? Just want to verify as I dont want to brick my HD2.

Thanks,

Mike
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
correct

.......
[HD2 General] ssconceptz:
Thanks for verifying that.
[HD2 General] DeriquedeCoux:
if thatsvthe update from tmobile i advise against it. it messed with my sensitivity and took me a few days of work to go back to the 2.10 ROM version
[HD2 General] ssconceptz:
Let me ask you this though, did you do a hard reset before flashing the update, as well as after flashing the update? If you did this it shouldn't have any bad effects on it. Ive heard no others say they have had this issue. Ill let you know if I have this kind of issue though. What exactly was it doing?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
That is most definitely a wise practice when flashing ROM's...however, there are indeed quite a few users reporting sensitivity issues after flashing to the new 2.13...there's changes in the new ROM intended to improve sensitivity, but the effects aren't always desirable it seems.

Some serious efforts are underway here to get around that, you can keep up with them at the following thread (which is also a sticky at the top of this forum section):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683192
[HD2 General] Nibbley15:
Or......

1. Use an extrator program on the .exe file and then you will find that the 2.13 update has 11 files. (rename the .exe to .rar)

2. Run a Task29

3. After the 11 files are extracted you can just use the romupdate utility, and presto stock 2.13 without messing with HSPL

These steps will not overwrite the HSPL to 2.10 and if you decide to go to another custom ROM then you are good to go.

It also works the same with the 2.10 stock ROM
[HD2 General] zstjohn:
I had a custom went to the new tmous official and went back to a custom without having to redo Hspl.
[HD2 General] ssconceptz:
well I just heard that the HSPL gives problems with 2.13 and you need to use the factory SPL
[HD2 General] bangsters:
uhmm.... i'm using smaberg's touch extreme rom.... which is better? the tmo 2.13 update or the custom rom?
[HD2 General] matyoka:
May I ask why would you consider returning to 2.13 after running a perfectly fine Custom ROM? Well, besides selling or trying to return the phone to T-Mobile... 2.13 gave me nothing but problems and freezing left and right. The music app in 2.13 took 1 minute and 25 seconds to load the songs !!!!
[HD2 General] bangsters:
2.13 is the latest right? even the new custom roms are 2.13 based right? or that's old?
[HD2 General] glcK23:
Something is definitely wrong with your HD2. I have the latest rom and it's just as stable as the previous versions. Using Garmin Mobile XT GPS and SportyPal along with G-Alarm very frequently with no hiccups.

You sir suck at HD2.
[HD2 General] matyoka:
Appreciate your response, even though it had nothing to do with you. On a second note, I'd rather suck at HD2 than suck something else... something you are very familiar with.

Afternoon all,

I have a number of ROMS including my original backed up one, but after installing anyof them i am unable to update using the update service. I get a message saying it is a manipulated version of the firmware.

Can anyone provide me with a ROM that will allow updating? Or give me any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong. Obviously I have run the Hard_SPL to allow the instalation of ROM's in the first place. Do i need to uninstall this to allow updates?

Any help / advice is apreciated.

Thank you in advacne for your time

[EVO 4G General] emac11:
Wow, that's awesome news! I live in St. Louis (Southwest Garden area) and I'm getting the Evo next week, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to wait too long before getting 4G. I figured it'd probably be later summer before I'd have it, but if your phone is correct, sounds like they've already started installing it. Hopefully it's just the beginning and the signal will continue to get better.

My only concern, I've read somewhere that some Radio Shacks are setting up WiMax hotspots. Maybe there's a Radio Shack nearby that you're getting the signal from? Just a thought, could be wrong. It'll be interesting to see what happens when you venture out in the city to see if you continue to get the 4G signal and if it improves or gets worse.

Thanks for the update! Please keep us posted!
[EVO 4G General] colorado_al:

[EVO 4G General] colorado_al:
For some reason I'm getting better speeds on 4G via WiFi hotspot on my Win7 PC. Could be an issue with the speedtest.net app for android or a hardware issue or something.

Anyhow, this has been typical of tests from my PC via 4G hotspot.

[EVO 4G General] emac11:
I bet Sprint just started working on it, so it might not be for a while until it's fully live, but it's still exciting that it sounds like it works to an extent. Does the 4G seem much faster than the 3G? Have you by chance tried it near South Kingshighway/Vandeventer/Southwest? or near the Botanical Gardens? :)

[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
From what I have been told, radioshacks just have repeaters in them. They basically just take a weak signal and boost it so it reaches more of the city.

So, WE DO HAVE 4G!!!

[EVO 4G General] imekul:

I left Sprint 2 years ago to get the iPhone and Sprint had the fastest 3G in town. 2 yrs later ATT is almost twice as fast. Did Sprint abandon 3G for 4G?

I posted a thread about this last week. I talked to a Sprint techie last Monday and they said within the next 3 weeks a city wide launch should be finished.

I have personally picked up a 4G signal at Gravois Bluffs near the Verizon Store (ironic huh?) and the movie theater there.

The techie also told me that next April/May they have a region wide roll-out planned for the St. Louis suburbs. He said the furthest he thought it would go in that extension would be the Festus / Crystal City area. Living in Farmington myself, I hope it extends to here, but I'm not getting my hopes up. We've had Sprint 3G here forever here in Farmington, but just got AT&T 3G last October and we have no VZW coverage at all and only T-Mo EDGE.

Anyways. Look for it to launch soon :cool:
[EVO 4G General] hampstenj:
4g has gone live on the maps! and really looks like a good launch, pretty much most areas inside the 255-270 loop, Plus a good part of St Charles county gone online, as well as Arnold went live. actually looking off the maps, they did a more widespread launch here than they did in KC!
