[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midget010:
Thanks for the answers. I actually found another Nexus one being sold for cheaper which didn't have engraving.

No need for a name/sex change now as that was the only feasible option :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
I recently bought my N1 on eBay, and it came with engraving. It's not a must-remove since it's just "Simmetry Wireless" instead of a person's name or worse.

Any good stickers for covering it up? Android/Google related?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e4604:
lets just say i tried paint thinner/remover, didnt help one bit
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATnTdude:
That's silk-screened paint, not an engraving. If you want to remove the Google and HTC markings from the back, it will probably work.

I don't think the metal band, where the engraving is located, is painted. I'm pretty sure it's just "naked" anodized aluminum. As such, paint thinner (either enamel or lacquer) won't work. Oven cleaner probably would deoxidize it, which would remove the etching. It would also remove the entire outer layer of the metal body and melt just about anything else (plastic, electronics, YOU) leaving a clean (as in soda can silver) aluminum frame. You could also get exotic with stuff like nitric acid, but I really don't recommend any of this unless you've done it before. And if you've done it before, you probably wouldn't be asking about it here.

As another FYI, there's several types of paint acrylic (rarely used in electronics), enamel, and lacquer (most common). A thinner for one (e.g. rubbing alcohol will dissolve acrylic, but do nothing to enamel or lacquer) will not work on the others. Lacquer is the "hottest," meaning that it and (especially) it's thinning/stripping agents have a decent chance of eating into whatever surface you're applying it to. So if you really have to strip the paint off your phone, take the damn thing apart before you try.

Seriously, just get a case, a new phone, or do the whole sex change thing I mentioned before.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] crespo80:
Hello, I'm new to the Android world, but I've learned through your great forums how to make my HTC Hero shine! I installed a custom ROM (actually, I'm trying Roufianos 1.1 clean) an eng SPL, a modded revovery and the latest radio.

Every time I flash a new ROM, I have to re-download and re-install all the apps from the market, and setup again the 7 home screens with my preferred widgets and programs.

Is there a way to backup these data and restore them with ease?

I made a few searches but found nothing (maybe I tried the wrong words)

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dare2k:
I use titanium backup for my applications.

For the scenes I don't know, maybe there is a folder in which they are stored you could do a search on that.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crespo80:
thank you so much, Titanium backup is really a great app, and it saves the scenes too!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Rhamsterman:
The other way is to try flashing without a wipe.

If this works (and I mean if) all you have to do is turn your phone on

and Voila!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crespo80:
Yeah, this could be a simpler solution, given the fact that now I swap betwenn ROMs based on the same 2.1 official release! But I always prefer the clean one, wipe and strike!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MercuryStar:
I tried Titanium backup but had problems with it being a bit unreliable, and about a few things not working once I'd done the restore.

I then tried MyBackup (after flashing again) and it worked a treat.

Couple of things though:

- Doesn't back up APN settings or wifi settings (there are other ways to do that, do a search)

- A single SMS got corrupted (making me unable to open messages from that person). Deleting that message thread solved the problem.

It DOES backup apps and your HTC scenes (and various other settings). I used the 30-day time limited version which is free. I'd happily pay the $4.95 for it, though in this case I didn't need to.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Dazza247guv:
I am looking for a calendar/planner that allows me to view on a week by week basis. One that will allow me to see the week and all the appointments for the week.

If you dont know what I mean, then think about a filofax page that has the week displyed and the commtiments written in.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Themes and Apps] nikosrs4:
dunno if i get it..but if you change the calendar(stock htc calendar) to week view and choose agenda from menu, it will show almost this...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Dazza247guv:
It almost does what I need, but I am unable to see the detail [words] in the week view, I would arther be able to see the week graphically with each appointment readable, rather than swap between two different views.

Of course when I swap from week view to agenda and back again, it defaults to month view and I have to go back into settings to get back to week view.

Not ideal, however I am grateful for the suggestion.
[Desire Themes and Apps] el rock:
Hi,

I'm using Jorte (free app), and it's very good. All details are readable and has nice widgets.

It syncs with Google calendar also.

Give it a try

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jac4593:
Three UK... I'm not sure why they haven't made a big official announcement yet.

When I rang them asking for an upgrade they seemed like they want me to get it...But then again the guy might have been on a commission so all he could do with me was tell me to try again when it's on their system.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Someone claimed that T-Mobile UK retentions said they would probably have it in July, but it's not on their website as "coming soon".

After T-Mobile discontinued the HD2 (which I was kinda iffy on software-wise: I do like WM6.5, but there's no future in it) I had all but decided to go with the Desire when I'm up for an upgrade in August. However, I have major misgivings about its weird PenTile display - it's faking WVGA and it seems to turn greys pink. The capacitive sensor it shares with the Nexus One also doesn't look so great.

The Galaxy S looks like it might be the better option, as long as it can be rooted and gets Froyo. (Would be nice if you could run HTC Sense on it too.) I can live without notification lights and camera flashes more than I can with a weird screen with pink issues.

Edit: The Galaxy S screen also seems to be PenTile? Gah. I suppose it has a better GPU.. can't we have a high-end Android phone here with a proper screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bajica:
Galaxy S uses super amoled display, there is no pink instead of gray problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
Have visited one of the Vodafone shops. For several days they had Ads inside the store, today they had a plastic model to show people (as for all phones).

When I asked I was told it is comming very soon, potentionally as soon as tomorrow (as I understood the guy was speculating, but he was speaking from his experience on getting the plastic showcase models).

So I unticipate that tomorrow - monday is the day UK gets 16gig version.

Prices - free phone from 40 a month (18 month contract) or 25 + 200. Plus additional 5 pounds for 1 gig of internet allowence.

Prices are actually higher than for Desire or Nexus. Actually, they seems to be on par with IPhone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
I thought this was an artefact of PenTile RGBG displays in general. But even if it doesn't have the pink cast, text isn't going to be as nice as it would be on a true WVGA display as shown here. With fewer subpixels it can never be as sharp.

Maybe the newer technology on the Galaxy S means that the pink is gone and text is as sharp as any other LCD, but I'm not sure how the latter can be. Would be nice to see some close-ups of text on the Galaxy S screen.

How to install Windows mobile 6.5 on HTC Android Phones like HTC LEGEND, HTC DESIRE.
[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
you can't as far as I know roms have to be 100% custom made for a device to ever work

and wm is not opensource nor are any of the required drivers

could take man years to reverse engineer to get something semi working

and many people are beginning to prefer android over wm too not many developers in line to spend ages making something not all that popular
[General Questions and Answers] dr_crx:
i can understand what do you want, same like me.

I need WM 6.5 pro, even 6.1 pro on my HTC Desire HD.

========================================

People who didn't use WM likes android, :-) but some of them like me were using MW since it was Pocket PC with WM 2003SE.

Most of the software we are using under WM not available under android or apple OS.

So is there any way to use the HD2 WM on it or even other rom, but can work with it.

We need help.

Note: the one who likes android thank you but we are from the dark ages.
[General Questions and Answers] kuklei:
Any update on this one?

How about a simulation? For example I can run Android on my WinMo HD2, why not do the same on my Desire and run WinMo?
[General Questions and Answers] rex-donald:
I personally don't think I can cope without WinMo, that's why as i'm looking at upgrading from my HTC TP2, I have nothing more satisfying in mind for now other than a HTC HD2 because I can just visit and play around with the likes of WP7 and Android while comfortably coming back home to Windows Mobile on a HD2. And again, I don't care what people say about WinMo being outdated. But as far as it's HD2, everything goes crisp and intact for me. Android is just iPhoneish IMO, although appears far better than an iPhone. But for a more traditional OS which is written to act like the more commonly used Windows on PCs, I pick WinMo.

[General Questions and Answers] mydogyuma:
I had an ATT Tilt 2 that I flashed various roms on before I went to my ATT Inspire last May and quite frankly I miss the full qwerty keyboard, 8 plus hours of battery life, and the whole simplicity and durability of WinMo 6.5.

WinMo notifications and ringing could be as loud as I set my MP3's to play. VS Android can't be heard sometimes.

WinMo Tilt 2 fantastic speakerphone VS Android poor quality speakerphone

WinMo Tilt 2 is 3G had better overall data and voice reception VS Android Inspire 4G....4G doesn't hardly exist anywhere YET.

WinMo Tilt 2 can be BOUGHT for around $100 VS ATT Insurance to replace Inspire is $135

Do I sound like a Window Mobile 6.5 fan? Yep, It's a good platform.

Android reminds me of iPhone which I had for all of 28 days and returned because I didn't want to be "married" to Apple.

But now that I've have a "faster" phone I can't see going back.......

If only I could incorporate both WinMo 6.5 and Android into one device.....

seems like wlan.ko is not available in /system/lib/modules/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnarlyc:
I've had similar problems in the past, but was unable to solve them. You can check several things though.

1) wlan.ko in /system/lib.modules <-- has to match up with the kernel that you are using

2) any entries for wifi and/or dhcp in the init.rc and init.devicenamehere.rc files that are in the ramdisk in the boot.img

3) wifi settings in the build.prop

4) files in /system/etc/wifi

5) I'm not sure about this one, but even some of the files in /system/etc/firmware might have something to do with wifi.

6) files in /system/etc/dhcpd

7) any files in /system/bin and/or /system/xbin that are called by *.rc from #2.

Just take a working ROM (stock is usually what I use), and compare the files with the corresponding files in your build. I use either WinMerge or N-way Folder Compare or just plain old 'diff' in Linux.

Trying to replace bcm4329.ko

I did the OTA update for my Desire today, and of course have the wi-fi problem.

However, when I enable wi-fi, I see the following appear at the end of dmesg:

<3>[ 8197.511535] bcm4329: version magic '2.6.32.15-g6a358a9 preempt mod_unload
ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.32.15-gf9c0527 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

The update zip (via thread 778852) contains a bsdiff patch file patch/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko.p... and from some examination of that file it appears just to patch the vermagic field of the .ko file.

I tried to use a hex editor to 'fix' bcm4329 and used adb pull/push to replace it, but I get

failed to copy 'bcm4329.ko.fix' to '/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko': Read-only
