[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] Brut.all:
Yeah, just open any layout xml file and voila. It's really hard to *not* find it.

Maybe you don't have ADT installed?
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] TulpiX:
uhhh

sorry that was a really dumb question :(

the problem was i openend the xml files and they opened in text view as standard and i didnt see the layout tab underneath

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] HD2Owner:
no, you are not really searching... you would have found several roms already..

you are asking everyone to search for you... you are in the right place here.. but please search for yourself.

xkan's roms for example...

@moderator:

please close/remove thread
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ChrisNbg:
of course i searched...

but for example xkans download is currently not available...

[EDIT]

I found two interesting Posts. One download is not available http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/653023/ ([09.05.2010] Xkan's ROM V3.0 [GER][23563][Manila 2.5.2012] )

and of the other one i get a little confused which one i should use: http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/653934/ 08/05/10 TAI EDITION - 21901/23569 WWE/GER/ESN LEO 2.11, Manila Sense 2.5.2013 FAST

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
let's start with a welcome to XDA :)

then I have to continue with a: but ... you should refine your search b4 posting, as first criteria check for GER in thread title, then have a look at the first 1-4 posts for chefs des of his rom and simply check against your "requirement listing"

about language: normally not, only for sense UI, but read here for possible solution

problems like not working links should be subjected within the specific thread they are related to, not in a new one

I'm sure you will find the rom best suited to you, but I doubt q&a threads like this will help you.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] saulo866:
I have 5 questions...how to reset swype, how to guess which version is running and some more issues.

QUESTIONS:

1.

how can I know which swype version i am running? from which menu? or settings or where?

2. How to install a dictionary, for example ITALIAN Dictionary? (I have the Italian cab, but installation does not work)

I have two HD. The old one HTC-HD2, NOT T-mobile (running an old 6.5.3 cooked rom) has a modified swype in which sometimes (50% of times) long pressing does NOT result in a number to be typed. But it has ITALIAN language.

My new HD2 t-mobile has probably a omnia version (smaller keys) and long press ALWAYS work. Unfortunately it only has only ENG and SPANISH dictionaries, NOT ITALIAN. I have tried to install Italian cab (following a thread here) but it is NOT recognized as a legitimate dictionary.

3.

How to reset swype? In fact after 3 or more months, the OLD HD2 has this problem: I have accidentally hit od and i3 and press space. these 2 mistyped words are now part of the ENGLISH dictionary, right? then what happens, every time i type OF I get OD (as default choice) and same for IF: I get i3...so I wish to reset the internal dictionary. How to do it?

4.

The NON-omnia swype, in the 3rd screen (click 123-SYM key 3 times), has an option "SELECT ALL", The Ommia-version of swype does NOT have this option. Is there a way to add in omnia-version of swype?

5. TYPO vs TO

The english dict has this word TYPO. Each time I swype TO the system ALWAYS enter TYPO...how to correct this behaviour? I wish to eliminate TYPO from dictionary. there are instructions on how to do. but these instructions do not work...

Thanks and waiting

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] saulo866:
can somebody feedback on which are the best skins for swype, available for both 3.19 and OMNIA version?

[Hero CDMA General] TommyNY:
I have the Hero and like everyone else here am drooling over the Evo. Can't upgrade till October though, but it didn't hurt to ask for a little exception from the CEO himself.

Here's a link to my story of trying to upgrade early:

http://bit.ly/gtevo4g

EDIT: Bottom line, if you're not eligible for upgrade, you're not getting an upgrade price. No exceptions. But, they're willing to buy your phone back for about $80 if it's a Hero.
[Hero CDMA General] A_Guy71:
Or you could sell it on eBay for $200 buy-it-now and purchase the Evo retail ($450-200 = $250)

Not much more than a new contract price!
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
... interesting...

I hadn't even thought of that. Although I seriously doubt anyone would pay $200 for a used hero but if so mine is still pristine.

Thanks for the suggestion.
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
I'm not up for an upgrade till February so for the time being i love my hero and have no complaints except one. Why if ur making a phone would u put only a few hundred mb internal memory on it. I mean i can buy a flash drive for 5 or 10 bucks and it be 4 to 8 gigs. Kinda retarded if u ask me. That and keyboard lag.

Back on subject...if I really wanted to go to evo I'm sure I could call sprint and convince them. I've been with them for 13 years and it's always worked in the past if u threaten to go to metro pcs. I'm sure my account has some interesting notes in it cause I always get my way. Ill debate them until they get tired of me. Morons lmao
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
Your lucky if you get $100 for the hero now. Im not due for an upgrade until november and im sure by then there will be a better phone out than the evo. It's an endless cycle.
[Hero CDMA General] A_Guy71:
I've read various users on here selling their's for $200 BIN, although this was probably a little less than a month ago. With the ever-looming release of the Evo, this may have gone down..Although I wouldn't assume you would get any less than $150, especially since Best Buy is offering $211 (Last I checked) store credit for it.

Personally, I love my Hero. Running Fresh Toast, I benchmark only 1 mflop less than an N1 with 2.1...Perfectly acceptable to me. I'll pass on the Evo and see what comes after ;)
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
I had a similiar issue about moving the upgrade date up, but I was only asking for a month. It took 3 calls and me talking to a supervisor to get them to give me the early upgrade. I think it helped that I was only 5 months away from being with them for 10 years. Either way, it was a real big hassle and we almost told them to stick it......But I held me ground and we did get the ealry upgrade. Ended up betting 2 heros for $99
[Hero CDMA General] Austin3600:
Yes!! Dual-Core 1.5GHz Snapdragon phones!!! I may just hold out for these. Supposedly the first ones are due out by the end of this year. Contract upgrade time baby!
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
So sad that I am second guessing the EVO now. I love Top Of The Line stuff, but sadly with cell phones they get snuffed out quickly. :D

I think my problem is too many addicitions to spread my money around on. I need to get off the Coke and Meth....i've said too much.
[Hero CDMA General] chadt:
Yes, from what I have been told they cannot give early upgrades but they can do other things. If anything, call them and tell them that if you can’t get an EVO you will terminate your contract and pay the fee. They’ll try to keep you with other options. I did this when the Hero came out and they gave me $20/mo off our plan for the next 24 months. Not too shabby. I don’t even feel bad because Sprint will rape you if you let them.

As far as the EVO, I’m waiting until Xmas to see what HTC releases. I would hate to get the EVO, only to find out that HTC rushed it so it could be the first 4G phone and releases one way better in December or the first quarter of 2011.
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
Man, I have gotten what I want out of Sprint every time I've tried (but I don't think I've ever asked for something unreasonable :p) EXCEPT the time I tried to get my upgrade ONE DAY EARLY. Best Buy was doing a crazy sale and I spent 40 minutes outside outside the store on the phone with Sprint to no avail. Luckily the manager at BB was willing to honor the sale the following day and I ended up getting an unheard of deal on 2 hero's and a blackberry curve :D
[Hero CDMA General] 702DROID:
i called in right before they released 2.1 and told them i was canceling becasue of the problems with 1.5(lmao) if they didnt reset my upgrade date and they did on the spot no problem
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
Simple as that? Wish i could talk to the people you did.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratfink:
I have recently purchased a Nexus One and i must say it is an amazing phone, but also very expensive! I just spent £370 on buying this brand new phone. Which brings me onto my main point, should i risk rooting or not?

I am confident with the rooting proccess and have rooted my hero etc etc, but i was happy to do so because i could also reinstall an official RUU incase something went wrong. However as we know with the N1 its not that simple. I want to be able to use features such as trackball to wake, and using the lights for notifications, being able to install market enabler and apps like autokiller and also being able to theme my nexus - but to do small things like this i still need to root my phone and void my warrenty.

So ive decided to ask you guys on wether you think it is worth my rooting my nexus one, and voiding my warrenty, or making do with no true customisational potential?

(Also silently hopeing someone finds a way to lock the bootloader :'( )

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowlala:
Just root it already. No regrets. I asked the same question.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratfink:
But

But what if anything goes wrong with the phone over the next year? Just seems unecassary that i have to loose my warrenty to be able to make small customisations to the phone :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nDrg:
I didn't root my phone in the first 5-6 weeks or so then once I had seen there were no obvious hardware faults I rooted it. It might be safe to take a similar approach.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Is totally up to you.. 2 things:

If you are affraid of bricking your phone due to flashing, don't be. Rule of thumb is always do Nandroid. And flash all you want. The exceptions are Radio's which pose higer risks of bricking.

That leaves hardware issues. If your screen cracks, battery explodes or button cease to function, HTC might switch your phone regardless if you have unlocked boot-loader or not. But im not sure how HTC customer service are in UK. People have done it in US and HTC didn't even raised an eyebrow to this.

edit:

like nDrg says, is to roadtest your phone for some weeks, see if no dust crops up under the screen, or other things starts to defect. Errors on new phones usually reveal themselves in the first weeks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamsomlao:
rooted just after 1 day i receive it lol and Froyo inside my nexus one since Yesterday Yes From France ^^
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratfink:
Hmm

Ok thanks for your feedback. I was having a think and i decided to wait untill froyo comes officially to UK, and if thats not good enough to keep me happy then i will root. Thanks :)
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
My wife flashed her hero to the official sprint 2.1. She had never rooted or flashed a custom rom before, so her going to the official 2.1 didn't really bother me much. However, now she's running into an issue with her data not working. A couple days ago she noticed she wasn't getting her e-mail. Strangely enough, mine quite working too (I'm on fresh 2.1.1). I rebooted my phone and mine started working. So I went to her wireless and network settings and turned off her data. I then turned it back on and after 30 seconds or so it said it was connected and everything started working just fine.

The strange part is there are no errors and even when the phone tries to check e-mail, it doesn't report any errors. Now, on my phone when this happened, my HTC Mail app threw a fit because it couldn't connect to the exchange server. Since I could refresh my gmail account and got no errors I thought it was just our exchange server. I signed into my account on my PC (for exchange) and it was in fact working fine. After I rebooted (just this one time as mentioned above) gmail kicked off with new mail and exchange connected fine.

Today, she has told me 3 times now that she went in and reset the connection (turn it off and back on) and a while later it would quit working again. She turns her phone off every night, but for good measure I am having her reboot it now.

Anyone else have this issue? She never had this problem on 1.5, so I don't think it's hardware. I've only had the issue once, but I'm also not in her area right now (tower related, maybe? My data borked when I was at home where she is at right now).

Thanks
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
This does seem like a tower problem. However, if you want to troubleshoot, you could always reset your data settings via the Sprint ## codes.

For data, enter this code: ##3282# on your Dial Pad. Give it a second and it'll ask if you want to view or edit your settings. Trouble shooting this problem would mean you have to Edit the settings, but in order to edit them you need your MSL code, which can be obtained by either contacting Sprint CS and asking them for it; or you can search around here on XDA and I'm pretty sure some people posted other ways to get your code.

Once you have your MSL code, choose edit when you get the pop up window and then click on your menu button -- there should be an option for you to choose reset -- enter your MSL code and your phone will reboot.

This may or may not fix your problem; I've had success whenever I've had data problems.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
Hey thanks! I did a search for MSL and found a thread with a procedure to get it through CDMA workshop but the drivers don't want to work with Windows 7 x64.

However, my wife was complaining the other day that it takes a long time for her phone to start ringing when someone calls. I think I'll call sprint tonight when I get home and just tell them I need to fix that and see if they give me the MSL... Might kill two birds with one stone.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
On the taking a long time to ring:

1) Move the ringtone off the SDcard into the phone, in some cases the SD card is to slow to read it fast enough. - Worked for a buddy of mine

2) There is a polling rate you can set when you get the MSL - but I have heard sprint forces a particular rate from the tower even if the phone has one set. - This will also decrease battery life.
[Hero CDMA General] SchmediumTux:
This may be too obvious of an answer, but have you tried using the device self service tool and updating your profile and prl?
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
No problem, hope everything works out.
[Hero CDMA General] one-of-four:
I had the same problem, took it to the sprint store (Waste of time!) and ended up hard resetting it, seems to have fixed the problem. you can hard reset by turning off the phone and then holding down the end, back and home buttons and selecting "clear storage" or "clear user data" (sorry, can't remember the exact wording). It will completely reset the software but it will wipe the data off your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
I got her MSL code via the logcat method that was just recently posted and reset her data and also changed her slot index. Although some people say that it is overridden at the tower, I also changed her priority. I updated her PRL as well. Before, it was ringing after I would hear about 3.5 rings, sometimes 4 full rings. Now it's ringing on the second ring. Also, her data was essentially turning off after about 30 minutes. After doing all of the above, she is saying it hasn't stopped working yet.

Thanks for all the suggestions, looks like it might be fixed.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
Well it's still not fixed. She has it happen a couple times a day and now my phone is doing it too. It's not happening consistently that I can tell, just seems to randomly stop working.

Also, I'm on Fresh 2.1.2 and I'm getting some really really bad lag. I don't use any custom ringtones, just the ones that came with the phone and sometimes my phone will start to ring and the only way I know is because the vibrate starts. Then a good 3 seconds later I'm still getting a black screen as the phone is trying to tell me who it is.

I will randomly pick up my phone to surf the web too and it won't respond or do anything for like a good 10 - 15 seconds. I open up ES Task Manager and usually one of the mail apps is trying to update with like a 5% - 10% cpu usage, but that's all that has any CPU percentage. I'm not really sure what to try next. I've removed some apps that I don't really use and a couple that I just recently installed just to see if they are the culprit.

I'm using the Launcher Pro Beta too. Maybe that's it?
[Hero CDMA General] dragonziggy:
I've had a similar issue... only happened to me a couple of times since the update though... but I've just been turning "airplane" mode on and then off it turns off the radio and then turns it back on... seems to have worked for me...

again.. for me it's only happened a couple of times since the update to 2.1 so it could be a different issue.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
I never thought of airplane mode. Doing what her and I are doing just reconnects data, not turning the radio on and off. I'm going to have her try that next and see if that fixes it. She says that she turns the phone off every night, but maybe she isn't some nights.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homotechual:
So I was running Enomther's 1.8.1 which was one of my favorite builds yet. When Froyo was released I switched to Modaco's Froyo online kitchen build, and then being impressed but missing my trackball colors, and tweeks I switched back to Enomther's 1.9.2.

My three questions are:

1)How do you backup your home screens? It's so annoying to reset them up which takes me an hour at least everytime I switch roms. I figured out how to back up my apps which Linda App Manager does perfectly.

2)When I went from Enomther's 1.8.1 to Madaco's Froyo it also updated my radio, so when I went back 1.9.2 did that reset my radio back to the original? Or keep the Froyo?

3)I know I can do a Nandroid backup but that doesn't restore between roms does it? It reapplies the previous rom right?

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettyboy85712:
This should be in Q&A. This has nothing to do with development.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homotechual:
Any help would be appriciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
1 - There are multiple backup programs available on the market. Backup for Root Users has an option to backup the home screen and other things. Basically it just moves the .db files and puts them back, which can be done manually if you know where to look.

2 - Nandroid does not backup the radio.

3 - Restore what? Nandroid wipes and reapplies the previous restore point.

It's better than having it in the phone - it does not use the phone's battery and you can use it without your X10! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TP2_Dublin:
I have searched the TP2 forums and can find no reference to this problem, so I wonder if anybody else has encountered this:

When I try to save a new phone number from the phone app to a new contact, I get an "Invalid Contact" error dialog. The dialog says "The changes cannot be saved because name or company name is required. All changes will be reverted."

I can dismiss the dialog and go ahead and enter the contact information, but when I hit "Save" the contact just disappears and is not saved.

It is very frustrating! Even the most basic phone allows you to save a number to a new contact!

Anybody got any ideas? :confused:

guys i have a small doubt..y x10 mini ui is faster than x10..x10 has advanced hardware but still so laggy both running the same customized OS and compared to x10 it has different kind of animation in timescape.

check this out how fast x10 mini is fast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lLXNtVaEIY&feature=player_embedded

edit: and compared to x10 mini has lots of other cool stuff like one finger zooming
[XPERIA X10 General] Willey1986:
I think SE released the x10 with a beta firmware to hit the market before the HTC desire. Compared to the x10 mini the x10 is really slow timescape is useless so far, mediascape has no widget, battery sucks, keyboard sucks.

Hope the small update will fix this
[XPERIA X10 General] ady:
The lower resolution plays a major part in the phone being faster. The X10 mini has a QVGA display, which is 5 times less pixels than X10.

To put it in simple terms, 76800 (320 x vs 240) vs 409920 (854 x 480) pixels.
