where is friend stream widget?

Feel free to add it to the first post. It has made Friday even better
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jamie Jay:
Nice Rom, is it possible to remove Android Tether though.

The version in this Rom does not work with WEP.

One of the earlier versions, 2.01 does. I have the apk file for this so can install from that.

Or can I remove a sytem file from this myself?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GearX:
Actually that can't be the Original 2.1 ROM...

On the one Hand there is only englisch & chinese. In the official ROM would be all languages!

And in addiction you can't disable that ****ing word prediction which is really going on my nerves!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Because this is the official Tiawain update! When the EU update comes it will have all languages.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,it`s official HTC 2.1 update for Chungwa Telecom Taiwan

How to I put Apps to SD on this ROM? I have just rooted my phone and flashed to this earlier but want to know the basics of Apps to SD.

Also what benefits do I get from partitioning the card?????

At the moment my card is not partitioned but has a lot of different folders in it which have been automatically created?????

Also I have just upgraded to the new official 2.1. firmware and it seems like the best one so ill leave that on. I'm just wondering if its worth me partitioning the drive and if so how I can put on Apps2SD on this version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
What class is your SD card? Realistically it has to be class 6 or over to use A2SD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crespo80:
The true beauty of this official ROM, apart from the speed, is the battery life!

I had always issues with cooked ROMs not lasting until the end of the day, this one instead is very promising as I can see in these first hours of use!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I know what you mean, mine only gone down 20% in 6 hours!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] realist77:
It is a Sandisk 8GB Micro SD card. How to I put on Apps to SD and what are the benefits of doing so?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
The benefits are that you can use your SD card to store apps on.

But, check on the description page of where you bought it on, it really needs to be Class 6+

It also wears your SD card faster.

I don't know how to install it, I'd imagine there's an update.zip?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Budius:
I saw the same thing.

I was downloading LauncherPro which is quite small home screen... and it lagged a lot...

but it is not a 2.1 problem.. it's an HTC problem as I was using Radugs Vanilla before and it's all smooth.

A2SD

I think I've got a fix for A2SD.

Download this and place it on the root of your SD card.

Download 'Terminal Emulator' from the market and run it.

Type:

su
cd /
cd sdcard
./a2sd.sh
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
huh... I use it constantly on the stock 2gb class 2 card that comes with the phone. works great. might be nicer yet on class 6, but the class 2 sandisk in our phones is a great quality card. Some of these sandisk class 2 cards have better throughput than some of the inexpensive chinese class 6 cards from my personal (non-phone-related) experience.

just saying - works for me :-)

Orange UK version?

Ok, it's a while since I did this.

I've a rooted Orange UK (unlocked) Hero. It must be a year since I did it.

In order to install this 2.1 ROM, should I upgrade the radio too... before or after?

If so, which should I use, link please?

Just so I don't make a **** up, I'm a bit rusty ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
edit: NEVER MIND - I figured it out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
My rom does not include the new radio. If you're on orange DO NOT flash the new radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
That's good, 3 is well easy!

In APN, just type three.co.uk and save!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
maybe you should put a note in your first post reminding people that any time one flashes a new rom they should FIRST write down their APN information from their phone (in the settings location you noted), and optionally use the free apn backup/restore tool from the market.

I just write mine down and retype it whenever necessary, it's short, I'm on telus canada, so it's pretty simple (sp.telus.com) with name telus_sp)

it's surprising to me how often people don't know that this is required to get data/networking running on a phone. Vital information for anyone flashing any rom onto any phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Yeah, I will add that now.

Who wants me to work on FriendStream? (Or any other stuff you would find in other 2.1 roms but not this)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
depends - how is the other stuff? does the camera work with higher iso values ok? (no motion blur at iso 400 or 800 when taking a pic of a moving target)?

is apps2sd working now with your update?

Have you deleted the chinese/sprint etc stuff from the system folders so it doesn't fc (I learned that from reading Feeyo's progress)?

probably sounds like nagging - I'm honestly just asking, I think those should be the priority then friendstream next :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kentman:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tdelahaye:
Has anybody tried this and if so does it work? I would really like to know if I should flash the rom here and do this method to get the A2SD working or if I should just wait until a rom is released with the A2SD working already....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
apparently feeyo's apps2sd works but there are other issues with his (are they only issues with HIS rom) where some people are getting zero connectivity or really brief connectivity after flashing. So apps2sd is possible at least, which is good news. I'm not about to try this one either until I know that apps2sd works LoL

someone needs to be the guinea pig!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I'm currently uploading an updated version of this with removed Plurk and that KK thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
cant get aps2sd working no matter what i try
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tdelahaye:
when you say "no matter what I try" does that mean you did try....

Download a2sd.sh and place it on the root of your SD card.

Download 'Terminal Emulator' from the market and run it.

Type:

Code:

su

cd /

cd sdcard

./a2sd.sh

?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
see, what I like about yours is that (I'm assuming) it uses the stock kernel that comes with the official 2.1 release. Erm, I guess I should confirm, DOES it use the stock kernel?

feeyo must be using the same kernel he used before which wasn't stock (I say this because his overclocks to 710+) and, as far as I understand it, isn't even for the hero hardware.

which is again why I'm curious about the camera iso blurring thing. I would imagine it works if you're using the official hero kernel, and I'd be cautious about it working properly on feeyo's rom if he's not using the official kernel.

I'm making a hell of a lot of assumptions here though about who's doing what and what happens if they did LoL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
./a2sd.sh: permission denied

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tdelahaye:
makes me think that it isn't seeing root or superuser permissions aren't working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
So when the official EU rom will be released?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
Thats what i was thinking tryed the stickman fix flashing the zip that failed tryed adb remount apps2sd on etc that failed as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
interesting. so feeyo just posted that yes, indeed, I was right. he's using his old kernel, hence his overclocking capability.

which also could be why his apps2sd works. and could also, depending on whether the cause of the camera iso bug is in the eris rom kernel or not, could mean that his rom has the camera iso bug where there is motion blur even at higher ISO settings.

Re: [ROOTED ROM] Official HTC 2.1 Update.zip | ZipAligned - FAST!

We need friend stream n widget, news n widget and 3d gallery, then this rom wud be pukka :D oooh and live wallpapers lol

what? why doesn't it have those things? shouldn't it have everything like that already from HTC/google??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharma45:
Yeah I was expecting Friend Stream etc. in this ROM too as it's an HTC developed app, how come it's missing stuff like this?

I thought 3D galleries was an odd omission too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I will get apks for those apps so that you can flash it soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pharrisee:
try :

# sh ./a2sd.sh

the permission denied is probably because it doesn't have the execute bit set.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
or you could always try chmod to add execute to the file... it IS linux after all. for a quick test you could try (as su) chmod 777 a2sd.sh

should give everything to that file, execute, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey 42turkeys, can you please confirm if you are using the new stock official kernel that comes with the new rom or if you had to use an older kernel to get this rom to work?

That would answer a multitude of questions I've had in my mind over the past few days about how this stuff works :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] malagic:
Hi,

it would be nice if someone writes full guide how to update, and witch version are supported.

[TG01 General] razerbug:
Hi all

the Tosh' TG01 has a lock button on the side (the power button) and doesn't need the slide-to-unlock-because-we're-pretending-to-be-an-iphone screen that means you effectively have to unlock the device twice every time you want to get to a text/call

How do you disable this?

I know you can because before I re-installed 6.5 (don't ask, Toshiba advertised an upgrade that wasn't) I had disabled this with advice that I thought I got from here, but now I can find no info on this here or on google.

so, how do you disable this annoying 'second' lock again?

help me xda-knobi, you're my only hope... :)
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Here's my (simple) advice, but think twice because of possible unwanted commands on your tg01 while in pocket and getting an in-call or sms:

Go to windows/startup and delete autokeylock, soft-reset: here you go, no more slide lock...
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
Thanks great post and advice it was getting annoying!
[TG01 General] razerbug:
Unwanted commands? that sounds ominous - I don't think this was the original method I used, but thanks!
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
See my edited above post, I suppose I made myself more clear...
[TG01 General] razerbug:
Ah I see -

fortunately I am in the habit of locking the phone before putting it away, although I would rather not lose the auto-lock in call mode, or my cheek will be pushing buttons...
[TG01 General] jk2207jk:
I you still want the phone to lock in calls, just use s2u2, and just set it not to lock in general, but to use s2a, and it'll lock during calls only...(by lock, i mean the one thing that'll actually respond to touch will be the hold/ignore slider...which is quite small anway)
[TG01 General] razerbug:
Thanks, I'll try that. Although it annoys me that I know there is a method that doesn't need extra apps because I used it before...

would something in the registry disable this?
[TG01 General] mirolg:
disable slide-lock screen:

Reg-key: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/LockScreen/Enable=0
[TG01 General] razerbug:
That actually did the opposite of what I wanted, all that does is replace the slide-to-unlock with a very hard to see old style winmo unlock that made me think my phone was broken!

I'm trying to remove all "soft" locks so that I just push the power button to lock/unlock.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Well, so simple and so good. I was always wondering why lock/unlock software ( with sliders ) on WM6.5 eats irreversible almost 5MB of memory after first action. It never appears on WM6.1 where lock/unlock does not eat almost any RAM.

It turned out this switch enables old fashion ( WM 6.1 like ) lock/unlock .

Now I have additional 5MB of RAM and lock feature still active.

Thanks mirolg !

My Hero cannot connect to mobile Internet and I can't figure out how to fix it or even what caused it.

I was running Kimera 1.8 ROM with suggested 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 radio and I think (not sure though) it happened after powering the device up. Now it shows me the mobile Internet is on but I can't surf.

I tried reflashing Kimera 1.8, SenseHero 1.6, each time with full wipe/reset and different radios. Please, help. Any ideas on how to fix or even to diagnose the problem?

Marto : It's French only, the English version is ready but I can't upload it until Monday ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thesweeney:
I got my TP2 a few days ago and already had a custom ROM (EnergyROM Sense 2.5 Cookie + dinik glass May 31) waiting to be flashed before I even got the phone.

Yesterday I flashed the phone after reading the great noobs guide a few dozen times.

Flash went perfectly and the new ROM kicks the crap out of the stock 6.5 (obviously).

Then late last night, I decided to test Video playback by copying 2 random vids to the SD card on my phone.

(Both vids are Divx (.avi), one is 624x352 res and the other was similar resolution).

The SD is a Transcend 8GB Class 6.

Both videos were a complete slideshow in core player (built into ROM). Probably 5fps in the 'small screen' and maybe 1 frame every 3 seconds in full screen!

This was the first time I have felt dissapointed with my new phone. My previous phone (Samsung Jet) played these same vids super smooth. (I know its 800mhz vs 538 etc).

After doing a fair bit of searching/reading this morning I have learned that temporarily disabling sense SHOULD help ( I will try ASAP tonight) and I can use a script for auto disable/enabling of sense. But people who used this fix didnt report framerates half as bad as mine so I'm not too hopeful on that.

Even worse is that I read that TV-out is screwed on ALL custom ROMs except maybe Valkyrie. Is that still the case??? I cant test this as my TV-out cable still hasnt arrived.

Smooth video and TV-out are two of the MAIN reasons I bought a TP2 AND the Jet before it.

AM I GOING TO HAVE TO FLASH A STOCK HTC 6.5 ROM TO GET SMOOTH VIDEO PLAYBACK AND TVOUT?

I hope thats not the case because in every other respect this energyROM has been a pleasure to use. Eyecandy and customisation are EXACTLY what i was hoping for as is the improved performance/speed. Please dont tell me I cant use this ROM. :(

ANY help on this would be GREATLY appreciated.

I HAVE searched, I HAVE read the FAQ ;)

Also one quick question :eek:

Neither vid would even start in WMP. Is that just a case of missing codecs? Whats the best codec pack for these ROMS?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
short answer. NO.

Use coreplayer to play divx etc. You have to play around for the correct settings. Then you can watch your movies smooth. Search for some tutorials. The tv-out will work BUT, the quality is poor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thesweeney:
Thanks for the reply Lennyz1988.

I'll keep looking for tweaks and tutorials re: coreplayer....no luck so far, cant seem to find anything.

As for the TV out being poor quality....I'm devastated to hear that.

There are a couple of TP2 tvout demos on youtube and the framerate and resolution looks great (on a 42inch plasma).

Whats the deal with that, is the TVout quality better on stock rom?

Also just found a very strange quirk with my problem.

I just tried playing both vids again and both played much smoother in fullscreen than they did last night (still only ~10fps though).

So then I open up task manager and kill 3 apps that were running (file explorer, comm manager and I forgot the 3rd)....

After closing these and trying the vids again it was back to 1 frame every few seconds in full screen mode!

How can I get worse performance with less apps running in background?? that just doesnt make sense...does it?

Now I'm really stumped.

Gonna try the mortscript to disable sense as soon as I can....fingers crossed.

Thanks for your help Lenny,

cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
I agree that if you are getting poorer playback on the Energy than the stock ROM, you just need to tweak the Core settings.

This is what I did: In TCPMP, go to Option>Video and select GDI. I forget what the default burned into the EnergyROM is, but I think it was Direct Draw, which was incredibly stuttery. Changing to GDI made the playback smooth on most videos for me. Some videos (probably higher res ones) will still stutter/freeze. But most of what I play works great, and MUCH better then it did on my phones stock ROM.
