Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

With so many roms flashed over the last few days, I'm fed up to the back teeth of entering my email addresses, and exchange settings etc...

Is there a way of scripting the initial setup, like dropping a text file on the SD that the configuration process looks at, and prompts for any missing info?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michael338:
I want to thank everyone that has helped me figure everything out.Just a few things i need to know.

1. Can sprint find out your using tether?

2. Are there settings i can adjust so no one can use tether but me?That way not anybody can connect to it?

3.When using tether,is it best to turn on 4g or is it okay with 3g running?

4. Can i connect more then one device using tether??

Thank you all...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] courtlandre:
1) Yeah, when you use too much data.

2) put a password on the network?

3) 3G is pretty gast as well.

4) Tethering usually only means one device, but the evo does a wireless hotspot as well which (I think) does up to 8 computers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
1. No they can't differentiate between data requested from a computer and from a phone as the data is sent through the phone while tethering.

I have Sony SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth speakers.

My TP2 will pair with it, but it will not connect.

The second I try (hit Stereo Audio) it will message "SRS-BTM30 Connection failed"

The Sony speakers work fine on my HTC Mogal 6800 and laptops, so its not a problem with the speakers.

My TP2 connects fine with my BT headsets.

But it will not "Play system sounds on remote hands-free device" (checked)

So I can not listen to anything other then phone calls with my headset.

Is there something I am doing wrong ?

Or is this a malfunction of my BT in the TP2.

Hey guys, i'm about to take the plunge into a full root with toasts method. i'm currently rocking the unrevoked method. do i need to do anything with it before i run toasts root? i thought about uninstalling the app, but would that remove its effect? if i just go through toasts method will there be problems trying to root something thats already technically rooted?

thanks for puttin' up with us noobs! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] arjuan:
It's not an issue whether you remove the app or not because you'll be wiping the system completely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilverStone641:
somebody had suggested that the rooting method would leave things intact and that updating the ROM is what wipes everything. is this not the case?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
flash the first PC36IMG.zip which Toast supplies will wipe everything. after then, applying the ROMs will also wipe everything...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Correct this is not the case. It will completely wipe the device. Also check Settings->About Phone->Software information and check if the Software Version ends with a .1 or .6. If it's .6 you will need to flash down to the previous RUU. My blog explains it all.

Firstly, sorry for posting a noob like annoying thread like this but I wanted to get opinions.

I'm off to Download festival tomorrow! So I'm hoping to install a ROM which has a very good battery life, turn off syncing, mobile network and pretty much everything else and try and get a decent way through the weekend with my phone.

Any suggestions on which ROM I should rely on for this weekend?

I would test some out myself but I am leaving tomorrow morning I don't really have much time.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furrypotato:
Just to support VanillaEclair 3.3

I've been running a hell of a lot of different rom's for months now and VanillaEclair has been fantastic for battery life since 3.0

Don't forget to install overclock widget so that you can underclock it when it's sleeping etc.

I also use 'Process Manager' which you can set to auto-kill background apps. Every little helps.

EDIT- oh, and keeping wifi/sync/data off will help a hell of a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badgaz:
Right I've gone with VanillaEclair then.

I've turned off syncing/mobile data/everything and I've used SetCPU to change max down to 518mhz.

I've never really been into using Task Killers so I am a bit concerned about using one. I already purchased Advanced Task Manager a while ago so I could use that. What kind of autokill frequency do you use and does it really make a difference? I see Task Killers as another thing running in the background..

Hey guys. i'm about to dive into toasts rooting method and that raises the question of backup. currently i'm running titanium backup but i'm not sure if it also backs up my contacts, call logs and SMS history.

what do you guys recommend i use as a full backup solution?

thanks!
[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
Spritebackup or titanium... sprite is more user friendly while titanium is more custom imo

[EVO 4G General] danknee:
You can export your contacts from your contacts address book, push menu >> import/export. Otherwise, as long as you saved your contacts to Google instead of Phone..they will come right back once you log into Google.

I backup my SMS messages with an app called sms backup by Christoph Studer. You can backup all your messages to gmail. They won't transfer back to the phone...but that isn't something I would do anyway. The messages are accessible through gmail after using this... plus it is automated once you set it up!

What about MyBackupPro, i like it, it has some extras for root users too. PM if you want it.
[EVO 4G General] chippillie:
I've used it and it good. It will back up everything sms and all. I use titanium back and sms backup. The good thing abought titanium is you can back up updated apps one at a time after the have updates not the whole thing. MybackupPro you have to backup everything again and that can get old.

your hardkeys should light up whenever you tap them i should think, would be good also if they activated whenever the softkeys are used also

[General Questions and Answers] yatesaj:
I have a Dolphin 9900 handset which runs WM 6.1. Each day at 12:00PM and 12:00AM the device turns on automatically. There are no e-mail accounts setup on this device. I have tried to disable Direct Push, assuming that's the reason for its issue, but nothing has worked. I have tried the following:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Remin ders\AutoSnooze]

"AutoSnoozeMins"=dword:0

HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}

set value "Options" to 20000000 (hexadecimal) or 536870912 (decimal)

And the steps found here:

The Exchange Security Policy (4131) updates the device policy:

HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023: 0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled

To change the inactivity timer:

HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}\

AEFrequencyType: 0 = No inactivity time; 1 = Activity time enable

AEFrequencyValue: = number of minutes before timeout

To change the password strength policy:

HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw\

MinimumPasswordLength: minimum number of characters in password (0 defaults to 1)

PasswordComplexity: 0 = Require Alphanumeric; 1 = Require numeric (PIN); 2 = No restriction

And finally to change the Device wipe settings:

HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\

DeviceWipeThreshold: -1 = disabled; (any positive number) = # failed attempts before device memory gets whacked

CodewordFrequency: # of attempts before a codeword is displayed to prevent accidental device wipe.

None of these steps worked as the device still turns on at 12:00 each time. Does anyone have any suggestions?

For what I can see of your answers:

On an Android Based phone:

##775# is for change the PRL

##3282# is for change the Radio settings.

Is there some one with an HTC Android Based phone that can confirm this (if it is on an EVO 4G will be great).

Hi,

I don't really believe that there is such a tool (nothing found with google) but...

I want to exchange appointments from S710 to my old SDA (runs also with WM6.5) to have know my appointments when I use my old "beach-mobile". At the moment I need to send Pimbackup-file via bluetooth from s710 to SDA and recover datas. Or I sync via "Microsoft my phone" (I have no outlook) but then I need to start my notebook because SDA has no WLAN.

So both ways are annoying - and if there would be a way to sync from Mobile to Mobile via bluetooth (not with single vcards/vcalendar) that would be great.

Does such a tool exsist??

Regards Odiad

Try to get an old Outlook (2002 is ok). It should be part of any device delivery for WM2k3 or WM5. Still you have to get up the PC but your devices stay in sync for what you configure.
[HTC Vox] odiad:
Hi tobbie,

I've got an old Outlook version (don't know exactly which) but it runs not on my Windows7-notebook. Before I changed to Win7 I did this via Outlook. But I use a other email software, and to buy a newer Outlook only for syncing makes no sense in my opinion.

And a direct sync from mobile to mobile via bluetooth would be excellent. But I haven't really believed that I get a positive answer from anybody.

regards odiad
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
Set up a virtual machine in Windows hosting XP then install Outlook there or install the old Outlook on Windows 7 as an old application (XP mode). The first should work for sure.

My preferred VM is the VMWare player, but WM7 has an own.
[HTC Vox] odiad:
Hello tobbie,

sounds good, but I googled a little bit after your hint (haven't installed a VM yet) about virtual machine and Win7. Windows Virtual XP machine on Win7 is only available for Win Professional or ultimate. But I've got only Home Premium.

And I don't know if there is a suitable freeware-VM, and if I have to pay for then it makes no sense for me. I don't need so often to sycronize my both mobiles, so I don't like to pay for it.

Regards Odiad
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
VMware player is free - I also use it and it is very comfortable. You can attach/detach USB connections from/to host/VM and vice versa. Definitely worth the time!

But first try should be to get Outlook running in Win7. I wonder why Outlook would not install directly. Can't you install "old" applications in a kind of "XP mode" in Win7?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
After searching a while, and partly thanks to poyensa who pointed me to maxtf3d tool, I compared the whole HKCU and HKLM reg trees before and after using that to change the softkey colours, and here's the summary:

Go into the following reg folder

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today

and create (if not already present) a string key named

Skin

in which you insert any name (example "myskin") and then create a folder in the same path with the same name of the skin and go in there.

In case the key "skin" already exists you have to go into the folder which goes by that name.

The key

Color_CommandBarText

is the one you want, if already present in the preset theme you need to change it, if instead you created the skin reference, or the key was not present in the preset theme, create a BINARY key by that name, and insert a 4bytes value inside.

For the black value it would be

00 00 00 00

Restart, the softkeys text colour will have changed.

To change the application name in the taskbar, you have to go into

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\

and add a BINARY key (if not already present) named

9

in which you set the text colour in the same manner you did for the softkeys. Restart, served.

The colour for the start menu icons text should be situated in that same folder, in the BINARY key named 39, yet adding that key and restarting doesn't work.

Hi, in your first part of changing the softkey bar text you don't need to add a new skin you only have to go into HTC Black.tsk or whichever theme you're using, then edit the Color_CommandBarText with the colour code you wish to use (default is white FF FF FF 00). In here you can also edit the highlight colour of the text (Color_CommandBarText_Highlight). Hope this helps.
