[HD2 General] Redeyedrichard:
Hey guys,

In the "About My Phone" section in the settings it says that my ROM version is 1.48 when I just updated to the 1.66 version. I used SPB Backup to backup and restore all my files and settings...could that have caused it to change? When I reset my phone though the main HTC startup screen said 1.66.

WHY!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Yes.

You should do a full backup/restore only on the same ROM, not when flashing a different one. Otherwise it will overwrite some system files with the ones of the old ROM.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
dont worry about it, it is only entries in teh registry, the files themselves will most likely be fine for the most part.

However if you notice anything odd in teh next day or so, do a new backup, of just your data, not the registry so much, and do a hard reset.
[HD2 General] the_ape:
Or just dont use backup tools, there mostly anoying, just make sure you have a sync source, and an autoinstall for the apps.

Quicker, easier, and less likely to cause issues than backup tools

I am Newbie and I Just Rooted my phone.

So what can I do Know?

I did the Wi-Fi Tethering and Worked.

I downloaded Metamorph but didn’t found any Themes.

I want to delete Sprint Apps, and don't know how to...

Want to change the lock screen, but without changing the ROM...

Anybody could come with a List of what people can do, know that the phone is rooted.

BTW I am Running Sprint 2.1

Welcome to the world of root!

While what Dave provided is in no way bad or wouldn't help you accomplish what you want, I suggest looking up adb commands.

Check out the main wiki thread in my sig. It will have a thread called "How to Remove Stock Apps, etc."

Once you have looked a little there, post back and let us know if you can't find some information, and we'll gladly help you out.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
I've got to agree with Riggs, while Kitchens are nice for people who know what they're doing, I'm a firm beleiver that people just starting out should use ADB as much as possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbheightsboy:
Okay, i'm new here but reading all of your threads is just confusing me.. there is so much conflicting information.

To begin, I bought my phone at the sprint store before i was even considering this thing called "rooting". I did the OTA update, didnt know any better at the time... however I did toast's root and I honestly have no idea if i got it to work or not but I was able to do the ad blocking thing and what not.....

I started having an Sd card error on my camera, telling me i had "insufficient rights" to the card...

and the video camera in Qik simply didnt acknowledge that there was a card at all and to insert one.

Now. I attempted the OTA, to fix the SD card, and i thought it worked at first but then it acted up again.....

Now i'm hearing this thing about Unrevoked?? if i have already done it toasts' way can i still run unrevoked or is it advised that i flash it back to stock rom and wipe all my data AGAIN....

anyways heres the funny thing...

i had an extra 8GB micro sd card from my Touch Pro 2, and I put in my EVO and formatted it... and.... now everything works fine....

my version is still 1.32.651.1

What should I do now? Since im not having any problems since i changed the card...

is there data on that card is necessary? or that i can just transfer over?

I dont want to perform the OTA again, but i know if i did it would answer alot of questions based on the result...

I need advice...

Anybody going to trade up to the Dell Streak?

I love everything about it (especially now that it's rooted!).

The only drawbacks are the 1.6 version of the OS and that there may be a certain tool-factor when holding that big thing on your face to take a call.

I'm in the US and waiting for the unlocked version to come to this side of the pond the the next month or so.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
I thought I read that Dell is releasing one with AWS bands as well for T-mobile. That being said, I don't think it can properly be called a "trade up" vis a vis the Nexus One.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin021296:
I wont. The streak is to big for me. I like something around 3.5-4.0 for the screen size.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
How is going to a big tank with Android 1.5 a trade up? No thanks, it's just too big for me, even if it had 2.2. The N1 may not be the absolute bleeding edge hardware design anymore, but it's more than adequate for my purposes, and it's large enough for my purposes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
also guys lets not forget ATT's recent data pricing fiasco.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
I dont plan on letting go of my n1 until either some dual core or 1.5ghz processors come out, and i would probably only do it if they had a HW keyboard, otherwise the n1 can/will keep up with all the new phones coming out.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oaf_tobark:
I agree,

I am so tempted to get a streak.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
I'd thought about it, but would much prefer a larger tablet device. I'm still waiting for a Snapdragon or Tegra2 powered tablet with a 9-11" screen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolin:
I'll be grabbing one, but won't be leaving my N1 very far away. I suspect I will switch between the two depending on the day. Want something that replaces my smartphone but still pocket portable, and not an addon like a large tablet/iPad, that is very data centric and the Streak seems to fit that perfectly with a 5inch screen. Apparently according to the latest engadget review the Streak gets better battery life than the N1, kind of amazing with the screen difference, maybe cause its 1.6 right now, who knows.

They already have root from Paul at modaco so I would expect that 1.6 will be upgraded real soon, think Dell was already making waves about a 2.x from them within the next month or two as well!

Hopefully its not going to be too much trouble to get one shipped to Canada.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Yeah, same here.

Am staying with my N1 for at LEAST a year.

I managed to hang onto the dying G1 for almost 15 months.

Between learning to root, and flashing all those ROMs, it was always "like a new phone" for me.

And now with the N1, being that it is ALSO a Google released phone, it's like falling in love all over again.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moto211:
I'd like to say that I'm not going to get rid of my nexus anytime soon. But, being realistic, I know that's probably not the case. I go through phones pretty quickly. Example: I got a iPhone in 02/09, a G1 in 07/09, a CLIQ in 10/09, and a Nexus in 02/10. I won't get the streak at US launch, but I may get it a little later depending on how it develops. What I'd really like to see though is the streak rom ported to the nexus one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmarcus:
Very true my friend. I had a Magic before i got my Nexus and was always switching between hero roms and CM roms and it always felt new. Same w my Nexus. I'm just looking for the next thing to have and if enough ppl get behind the Streak then I think it'll be a great (not so little toy)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] potna:
so i just noticed that the camera was taking bad pix so i pulled the battyery cover off to see if i needed to clean the lens or the lens cover, upon observing the battyer cover i noticed that it has many many small scratches.

so the way i see it is that i have a few options and i was looking to discuss my optopns.

i could:

1 replace the entire battery cover

2 knock the lens cover out of the battery cover, im afaraid this could lead to a scratched lens

3 replacded just the lens cover

what do you guys/gals think?

btw this is my first ever post on xda and this site is freaking sweet

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] huggs:
Just pop out the lense cover,i did it in mine and the camera quality is 100% better and dont worry bout scratchin the glass camera lens, its tougher cause of bein glass vs plastic, n its recessed pretty good. q-tips cleane it well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
Yeah, there was a thread about the back cover going a bit ago. General consensus was just to pop it out and occasionally get in there to clean off the lense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] potna:
very good, i was sitting in my gf's sons high school graduation ceremony using my tilt 2 so my spelling and grammer weren't the best in my op

i probably should have researched a little more but it was all i could do keep connecting to the internet long enough to get that op sent...

but fantastic input, infact i went ahead and popped the little guy out, but i know i should be ok with this fix
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bnakid:
When I got the phone I cut a little piece of screen protector and put in on the lens cover. Didn't seem to impact photo quality, but I guess I have nothing to compare to since it's been there since day one.

Just FYI if you end up replacing the lens cover.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bwnotredame06:
I too popped out the lens cover, soon after purchasing the TILT2 because even brand new the lens covers take away from the pictures, had same problem on TILT 1 so instead of taking off my cover everytime i wanted to take a picture i just removed the lens cover and it's been great , no damage. A little dusty every once in awhile , but nothing major. plus you could keep the cover and pt it back on later if you change your mind !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] worwig:
I notice on mine that the coating (maybe an anti-glare coating) on the outside was just worn away in spots. At first I too thought the plastic was scratched, but it wasn't. I took some plastic polish (I assume toothpaste would work too) and polished away the rest of the anti-glare coating. That greatly improved the picture quality.

Mine gets used in dusty and dirty conditions too often. Not sure I dare pop off that protective layer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] snig72:
buff it

lol, this is where messing with cars comes in handy,, go get the smallest bottle of car polish(not wax)you can find and just buff the scratches out. use a very light touch and the scratches come right out. due to my work enviorment, i had to do mine last week when i noticed the same thing, and now i am back to crystal clear pictures again
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] folk777:
Thanks, snig72. I had an old tube of car scratch removal stuff and tried your suggestion. I used a q-tip with it and it worked like a charm! The cover is like brand new now - not kidding!

I'm using PE Explorer to change the Titanium Notification Panel icons and from what I can understand of .dll's, they contain resources for a crap load of programs.

Most software will have it's own resources, that's the same for system resources, if was pulled by other software to which generally not then it wouldn't cause issue's it'd just display the new resource.

I personally Do not like the standard windows mobile sms . I really wish I could just use the Htc sms App as I do not have problems with It.

Is it at all possible to make the windows mobile sms App in active.

When I try to very pictures it opens the windows mobile sms app and doesnt stay With the Htc sms app.

All I wanna do Is keep it from reverting to the basic windows sms application when I view a picture.

Any consideration at all is very much appreciated.

Hi,

I just came back from a 4 days trip to Rome, and I've not been able to connect to data even once.

Tests were done with all of the available operators in both 3g and 2g. I called my operator who confirmed I'm connected and that it's all open for data. Tried downloading weather, activesync, browser, emails, etc. I also tried to re-install the parameters, using the automatic HTC configuration.

Everything went again fine as soon as I landed back in my country.

What can be the problem? I'm really short of clue. I just regret not having tried a hard reset...

Thanks :)
[Networking] gsvnet:
Best guess is that you somehow had the wrong APN?

Help me choose! :@

Usage:

1. Watching video, mostly movies, without the hassle of converting formats, etc.

2. Browsing with the best experience possible

3. Cool things like on the HD2, i.e. Playstation emulation, bluetooth peripherals, USB Host functionality etc.

4. An easy to understand file system. I'm uncomfortable with Linux, thus my hesitation with Android.

Time I want to keep the device:

About two years. I want something reliable and something that won't bore me after a while.

Thanks for any help you guys provide. :)
[General Topics] PoisonWolf:
I hope you are aware that you've already made your own choice.

Everything you've said is hinting at the HD2 already. Do you need us to reassure you that you are doing the right thing? It's really just a phone OP. Get the one you want. Don't let anyone else tell you what is right for you or tell you what you should want.
[General Topics] hackm0d:
I actually am completely sold on the HD2, however the fact that in those two years that I'd want to keep the deivce, Android will probably be all the rage and we'd have the HD2 completely outdated without any WP7 support. That is my only concern.
[General Topics] PoisonWolf:
What's your point?

You already stated that you're uncomfortable with Linux. And you pretty much want the HD2.

You can't have everything in this world. Pick one, use the device, enjoy the device and get your money's worth out of it. If you want WP7 support, wait one more year for the HD3. I'm pretty certain by then you'll have a 1.2 Ghz dual-core 4.5" screen monstrosity with a 2000 mAH battery pack running Windows Phone 7.

Whatever it is, do not buy the HD2 under the assumption that XDA will definitely port WP7 to it. To be more precise, buy a device for the features it has now, and don't bank on features that may or may not come.
[General Topics] tathan:

Go for Leo, definetly the fastest device out there.

Don´t worry about upgrading to WP7, it will be possible for sure with the great Chefs and Devs from XDA:cool:

Android is nice and some are looking for it because it´s new...on my opinion is nice but immature and limited for now.

I´ll stick to WM for a while.
[General Topics] Techvir:
Totally agree that xda will port it... But I dont think it would never reach a level that you can use it on a daily basis...

See android on wm devices... They have ported on many devices ( more than an year of work) but not fully fn for use on a daily basis ... Unless i missed something
[General Topics] orb3000:
Have to disagree

I have HTC Universal who originally was designed to run WM5 and now I am using it at it´s 100% capacity with WM6.5.

I don´t see why it can´t happen the same to Leo upgrading just one generation to WP7, it has the power and as I said the great minds here @XDA will sor it out for sure:cool:

Andorid example is completely another stuff, to port one OS to a completely different build device, that is limited for now but perhaps later will be full and stable, who knows...
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Ah, but WM5 uses the same WinCE 5.2 kernel that 6.x and 6.5.x have, so porting WM6.x to WM5 is very easy because everything is well documented, and everyone knows WinCE 5.2 inside and out already. The drivers, the bootloader, the file system, and everything else are all compatible because it's the same exact kernel. It's a whole different ballgame when you have completely different OS kernel (WinCE 7) that nobody here knows indepth, which has specific hardware requirements and most likely needs a completely rewritten SPL, drivers, etc. and uses a completely different file system, and ROM update system. It's not going to be easy, if even possible at all, to port WM7 to the HD2 without getting the internal Microsoft builds they're testing on the HD2 (which will never be publicly released). What I'm trying to say is, don't get your hopes up on a WM7 port.

@OP: As others have said, you've basically made that decision yourself. Android is based on Linux, so if you don't like Linux, don't go with Android. If you get the HD2, get it because you like the features it currently has, since you will likely not see new ones besides a somewhat functional port of Android and some backported software from newer WM6.x phones. The HD2 will probably stay the way it is now, so only buy it if you're willing to stay with the same everything for the next few years. That being said, all the devices you listed are very popular, well made devices, and I don't think that you could really be unhappy with your device no matter what you get. I do know, if it makes any difference to you, that a PSX emulator was shown on video this week running on a Nexus One and USB host functionality was ported specifically to the Nexus One as well.

[General Topics] hackm0d:
The thing is though, I will not have an always-on internet connection on any of these phones. Even then, it won't be 3G, it'll be EDGE or GPRS. From that standpoint, how much functionality of each of the phones will be reduced? Android has the push e-mail, social integration and app updates that need internet to function. Do you think without internet much of the functionality of the homescreen and Android itself (over Windows Mobile) is negated?

Why not the dell streak? It just came out in the UK, it has a 5" screen, which is great for videos. Also, ZodTTD is working on a PSX emulator and the streak should be getting a 2.2 upgrade within a few months (sooner with the root progress over at modaco). Engadget review.
