[HD2 General] ephestione:
to my best knowledge you can't really do that; I mean, you can programmatically disable automatica standby in an app by calling a function to reset the idle timer, yet the power button will put the device into standby.

I'm almost positive neither AEbutton plus can remap the power button short press on the HD2, but giving it a try won't hurt that much ;)
[HD2 General] wilcovh:
other approach:

app that wakes up the device after a minute or so? the gps only disconnects for short time.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
But that's solved already!

The keepAwake app posted earlier, music players keeping playing when pressing the off button, IM clients continue to run and receive messages after pressing the power button (implies both processor running and internet connection active)... in these cases, like any app that does the required system calls to disable standby while it's running, the device won't go to standby.

The only real problem you're facing is that GPS goes off when the power button is pressed, regardless of whether the rest of the device actually goes to standby or not (try running a GPS app while playing music, press power button, music still plays but GPS turns off).

Now we pointed some hints for you - you can try them (the reg edits for GPS apparently work in some cases but not all), but if they don't work then you're alone on that one, no solution is known. And tbh I've never seen any device on which you can disable the power off key, and it's obvious why...

Hey everyone.

At the moment I'm on a TD2, it's had it's good moments but feels a little dated now (especially fed up of using a stylus now seeing as it isn't great for using fingers).

I just wanted anyone who's using an Android phone to give me some first hand advice and experience of what the OS is like (as I've not really had the chance, and won't have the chance to try it out).

I'm considering getting the Desire on Orange (as it's the only carrier that offers HSPA in my area), and just letting my o2 contract run down (after lowering the tariff each month, about 8 months left). I've recently landed a job and have little else to pay for so money isn't that much of an issue at the moment, so I'd just like any Android users comments and recommendations!

Cheers everyone!
[General Topics] A_Guy71:
It's pretty awesome. The versatilely and usability are incredible. The only downside is it can be a bit slow at times..But that is likely because I am using dated hardware (htc hero) and not something like the nexus one or evo. i have no doubt the n1 flies through menus and actions much better than my hero. but regardless this phone is soo much fun :)
[General Topics] cten1:
i personally like the OS

but if u have good hardware in the phone, it will make your experience more awesome!
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
Hi,

Thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help me.

A few weeks ago I tried to gain root access to HTC Eris. I followed the prereq and part one of the guide but stopped there. Rebooted my phone, checked the version (2.1) and went about reinstalling apps and such.

Now I want to install a different ROM so I went back and tried to start from the beginning and put PB00IMG.zip on my phone, went to hboot, let run but then I get the message "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Do you want to reboot device?"

So when I move onto III in the walk through, I get an error on the command

adb push flash_image /system/bin

It would seem like I've lost root right? Is there anyway I can check to see if I accidentally installed the leak w/o root?

Thanks,

Nate
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Easy way is to do

adb shell

if the prompt is

$

your likely on leak

if the prompt is

#

your on root.

Once your on root, flash recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
I am anticipating the next question, so here is your answer. If you did indeed root your phone, you should have loaded a recovery image as jcase mentioned.

First, load the new ROM onto the root of your sd card. Next, power off your phone. Then, hold down the vol up button and turn on your phone. It should boot into the recovery console. From here to load another ROM, you need to perform a wipe and then load your new ROM by flashing. You should see a Wipe and Flash from Zip menu option in recovery.

In the Wipe menu, choose the first two options in order (factory reset and cache). Wait for each to complete. Next, pressing vol down should get you back to the main menu. From here choose Flash from Zip and then select the ROM zip file you loaded onto your sd card and wait for the update to complete. Last, reboot your phone from the menu.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
:(

$

When you say "likely" you pretty much mean "sorry but you're non-rooted and I don't want to be the one to tell you" ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
You have 2.1 from the OTA, or on phone at purchase or from an image you flashed?
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
try su

adb shell

$ su

If you still have a $ then you most "likely" loaded a leak rather then root. If you get a # then you are in luck.

I don't remember if the the leak that included su had adb set to root by default.

good luck.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
I followed a guide a few weeks ago that must have been for the leaked version of 2.1.

I get

I guess that means my phone I'm stuck with it...FML!
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
Yes, sadly you are now stuck with the Leak. :(

Stay tuned as the devs are still working on it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
Does anyone know what HTC says about all of this? Can I send the phone back to them and have them "restore" the phone to factory settings?
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
Technically, modifying your device would void warranties. Even if they could "restore" the device, it would still have the newer bootloader that is causing the rooting issue. Some people have "lost" or "broken" the device bad enough that they could get a replacement from Verizon. However, there is mixed results as to what bootloader the refurbished devices come back with.
[Droid Eris Android Development] evenmoreconfused:
I posted before about the safety of re-rooting my eris from 1.5 to a rooted 2.2 rom, and due to lack of responses on any forums over the web, I jumped the gun today. First off my Eris after un-rooting it, wouldn't take the OTA update for 2.1, it downloaded and verified that, but after it rebooted, it was still at 1.5 saying no new updates are available. I cannot download the eris 1 click root app as it's only for 2.1 I'm assuming because it says it's not compatible with 1.5 firmware when I download it. I tried to follow this guide [Walkthrough] From stock (1.5) to rooted 2.1 (update - new link) - xda-developers and when I installed the PB00IMG.zip it downloaded but failed to flash and the screen read "Main version is older". I tried this guide All-In-One Auto-Root Script - Page 4 - xda-developers and when it says it's flashing the root image, it goes straight to a screen with only two options "recovery" something and "fastboot". None of which are listed as options in the guides. I am just trying to root my 1.5 eris and flash the KaosFroyo V3 eris rom with Amon Ra's recovery image. Thanks if anyone can help my problem, or shed light on the situation! Sorry if there's been a fix to this problem already stated, I've desperately been browsing many forums and hundreds of replies to no avail. Thanks again.

how do you install the drivers?..it's just folders
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
download file is blocked for me and i dont have win7 or the evo yet, so you'll have to help and hopefully others will chime in.

i would assume once you plug the phone in, it will prompt/ask for drivers, simply navigate to the folders from the download file.

[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Also might want to add adb pull and install and devices. Also remember if it says it cannot find your device make sure usb debugging is set in Settings->Applications and type in adb kill-server and adb remount.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmc971989:
i was assuming push/pull went together... but i forgot about adb remount, good call

added path to enabling ADB from normal android mode.

added adb push/pull and adb remount was already added.

[Droid Incredible General] drtrmiller:
I propose that a "Root Notification Thread" be set up, stickied, and closed to further comments until root has been achieved, so that forum-goers may subscribe to notifications for the thread as opposed to obsessively checking back every day or so.

This seems better than a 3rd party notification solution since XDA already has our email addresses and is more secure than most other methods.

It also may assuage the torrents of unwanted children running amok in the forums, who seem to be responsible for the recent craziness.

Very clever idea, esp. since most anyone who wants instant push/notification of e-mails already have it set up. I made a special growl alert on my Mac Mini that will notify me of any e-mail coming from XDA (I have it setup for follow-post notifications only so I won't get falsely excited by a PM or something) whilst playing an mp3 of "Jarabe Tapatío" (aka "The Mexican Hat Dance")... I have no idea why I picked that song but it seemed fitting =p.

[Droid Incredible General] drtrmiller:
So theoretically you'd like to wait 3 extra hours before being notified of a definitive root? :~P

A root notification thread would only serve to instantly alert those who wish to be informed the exact moment root is achieved.

Has someone requested this from a mod yet?
[Droid Incredible General] dnoyeb:
touche.

luckily since there are 8 of us in this office with Droid Incredibles (all ex moto droid users) I am sure the news will be just about instantaneous when it happens. All of us miss doing our custom roms and wifi tether... Heck, I just reacquired a moto droid from an employee that quit just so I could swap ESN's back and forth and have the wifi tether when I need it.
[Droid Incredible General] wisenick:
a notification thread to let you know when root is available is over at androidforums.com.

I would like a thread that is locked, so nobody can add comments, and it has all the different way devs have tried to gain root. but the only problem is deciding who is in charge of scoring the net to see what ppl have tried and if they tried it or they are making it up.

I say us "non devs" just wait till HTC "gives" us a Rom like they did with the Eris

[Windows Mobile Software Development] mylostblog:
Nice!! !! =)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cyanide911:
Really nice! Great improvement! I just have one suggestion to make. Give an option to remove the bottom bar with the five dots signifying the five screens. Wastage of screen estate, really, after a while. Other than that, cannot find anything wrong :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BlueLux:
This is bloody fantastic!!! Must be made with HD2 in mind, because this beats any other keyboard I've tried. Huge improvement over version 5. It's like the standard HTC keyboard, but with improvements that makes it now at least as good as the iPhone keyboard. Thank you!! Looking forward to the final version! :)

What features are disabled in this beta version? It says that the full version has even more...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ironcrotch:
Any way to get screenshots of this?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] patanello:
in portrait mode is the best keyboard ever tried.. but in landscape mode the keyboard don't extend in full length..it remains in the same size ad portrait? is it normal? btw i repeat..in portrait mode in way better than every keyboard tried..

tested on HD2
[Windows Mobile Software Development] skycamefalling:
Same here, the keyboard changes to landscape only if I open the Input-Menu and re-chose the Resco keyboard. Then it's landscape but it stays landscape even when the screen switches to portrait. It stays like this until I re-chose the Resco keyboard again.

Apart from this bug, this keyboard is very good to write on!

Tried on HD2 with WinMo6.5.x
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dio62000:
Is it a,bug or a limitation? I think it's fantastic!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] olus:
thanks works fine on omnia i900. i will love final and full version
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BlueLux:
- Like mentioned above, Landscape mode is buggy on HD2. Have to reselect Resco Keyboard when switching mode. And when I write SMS, the Landscape keyboard covers practically the entire screen, so you're not able to read what you're writing. I hope this is a bug which will be fixed in the final version.

- Even though I select it as the default keyboard, not all programs respond to that. Most programs do, like SMS, Opera, etc., but some programs revert the default keyboard back to standard, and I have to reselect Resco again. Really hope this is a bug that can be fixed as well.

Otherwise, still loving it :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Shum97:
Thanks, just testing it now..

Here are some screen shots;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] msmith1991:

I'm having the exact same bugs that BlueLux is describing on my HD2.

I really hope that you guys at Resco can do something with our feedback, because this is so much better than the stock one (at least in portrait mode), a decent keyboard like this is exactly what the HD2 needs!!

if you type too fast, then the keyboard will swipe...its a bit annoying but never have I felt comfortable typing so fast on an onscreen keyboard

Maybe add an option to adjust the size (height) of the keys, which is especially useful on QVGA/VGA devices, and allow the selecting of text with the arrows. Then it'd have all the great features TouchPal has, but with a much better-looking and smoother interface :).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tcchuin:
can you add something like this?

Dynamic Key Resizing

The iPhone changes the size of the «touchable» area of each individual key while you type to make it easier for you to hit keys it thinks you might want to hit. David Pogue describes it like this:

Although you don’t see it with your eyes, the sizes of the keys on the iPhone keyboard are changing all the time. That is, the software enlarges the «landing area» of certain keys, based on probability.

For example, if you type the letter «N», the next letter is unlikely to be «H», but quite likely to be «G». Accordingly, the iPhone will increase or decrease the target areas of these keys. If you type «N» and then hit the space between «G» and «H», the iPhone will assume that you meant to type «G» because «NG» is a common letter combination in English, while «NH» is uncommon (except for people living in New Hampshire).3

While this often cheats you into hitting wrong keys when typing in a language the iPhone doesn’t support,4 it’s a huge help for the languages it does support. As far as I can tell, Android doesn’t seem to do this kind of key resizing at all – you never know how much you’ve been relying on this feature until you use a virtual keyboard that doesn’t have it.

weird behaviour

just to point out a weird thing when press and hold to select special caracters :

here is a screenshot of what happens on my phone... it has been working fine for a while then ...

Using french as primary input language (actually i love that it stays in QWERTY instead of AZERTY ;) ) and no secondary input

I confirm that when typing fast you sometimes accidentally switch between layouts!

Question : how do I edit .rpk files for skinning? I'd like to make HTC green buttons instead of blue... and even a black and green skin...

It's possible, but too much work without a simple app, I've explained how it works here. Basically the RPK is just a collection of PNGs... Anyone here with dev skills who could code such an app?
