[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbudlite89:
Hello, i recnetly upgraded to 2.1 when it came out, it did all the updates etc, and once i got to use it. its seems to be SO much slower/laggier than b4, was fine b4, but now internet, apps, and pretty much everything has a delay, any1 got same problems?

Im thinking the new 2.1 takes more RAM/CPU like xp to vista, so is there a way to make it faster? Overcloking widget? plz help
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
Are you rooted? If not, then do it. Install one of the many ROMs available and you can even flash a 1.5 ROM back onto your phone. I think the kernel needs to be changed to enable overclocking, but some of the ROMs have it with the SetCPU Widget.

Please use the Search function in the forum as you can probably find most of your answers by doing so.

Skip the initial setup. Open up your settings. Go to wireless & networks. Turn off mobile network and turn it back on 10 seconds later. Then go to your account section and set up your Google account.

Hello,

my windows 6.1 Device shows this popup allert window when i have missed a call. Unfortunately this window disapears after ~5 seconds.

Does one know which key in the registry I have to change that this window stays until i have to press a key or touch the softbutton on the screen.

My HTC Touch Cruise 2007 has original rom.

Any Help could make me happy.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tarkus_elp:
Hey Gang!!

My Tilt2 (TP2) was acting sluggish the other day and then the touch screen would not respond to anything.

I did a soft reset ... didn't work or solve it ... so I just went ahead and did a hard reset. Even after doing that I have no response from the screen.

The screen shows up everything .. I can view the time, people calling me but it just won't pick up any touch activity at all.

Has anyone ran into this ? or what would you suggest.

Just need some help !!

Thanks !!

Your digitizer may be dead and in need of a replacement
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tarkus_elp:
I just got done searching something's from google and other people who have had the same problem and tried one thing.

The outer rim where the chrome area is , they said to clean or see if there is crap/crud in between the screen and the chrome area.

I did that and it seems to be working ok right now. Just have to be careful. I used my thumb nail to slide in between that area but you might want to use something thinner to be on the safe side.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] CILLER:
Thanks, that worked for me also. bit strange solution but isf it works...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
the crud you collected must have been pressing the digitizer down in multiple spots or even just ONE spot which led it to think there was already a "touch" on it.. hence not working when you would touch it else where.....

There's been issue's with cases doing that where they are too tight and the screen is picking up that pressure as a 'press'... it's odd you guys have collected that much stuff to make the screen act funny though... messy pockets for sure! :P

TP2 screen not responding.

Thank you. Cleaning around chrome area worked, but I lifted the plastic contact a bit, so future users of this method should be careful. The contact lifted above the buttons on the bottom of screen, so I will have to be cautious not to get dirt in further.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Ok so I was able to make a bootable boot.img but now I'm trying to get the init.d scripts working. Basically I'm looking to run some commands on boot and felt this is the best way. What I did was put the following in my boot.img's init.rc file:

# Execute files in /etc/init.d before booting
service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
disabled
oneshot

Then in my update-script file I added the following to make the directory and containing files executable:

set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0750 SYSTEM:etc/init.d
set_perm 0 0 0755 SYSTEM:etc/init.d

Then I packaged up the boot.img, added to an update.zip (with custom rom) and flashed it. However it doesn't appear that the scripts inside /system/etc/init.d are running. Anyone have any ideas for me? Anything I'm forgetting to do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentroniX:
I don't think you can add a directory and have it execute every script within the directory. I believe you need to explicitly call the scripts within the directory. At least that's how every other init.d implementation I've ever worked with functioned.

Good luck!

cent
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Could you elaborate. I'm not too familiar with the init.d stuff with android right now. So how would I call these scripts at startup? I can't tell where in other roms these scripts are being called.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentroniX:
Ok, so if you had a script in /etc/init.d called 'doit', you would invoke it by calling /etc/init.d/doit.

So I'd try:

# Execute files in /etc/init.d before booting
service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/doit /system/etc/init.d/doit2
disabled
oneshot

I'll be honest that I have zero experience with startup scripts in Android, but I have over 15 years experience as a *nix adminitrator. In every *nix I've ever used, you can't just call upon a directory and have every script within it execute; You have to explicitly call each script.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Sounds good to me. I'll try that and keep this thread updated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
in the custom kernels i built for android 2.1 this is the method i used to call custom scripts in init.rc . pretty sure it should work for you, just change the paths and commands as you need!

## SDX processes

# install busybox

service busybox /sbin/busybox --install -s /bin/

oneshot

# run custom SDX functions

service sdx /sbin/sdx.sh

oneshot

for those wanting to learn the technical details on the init.rc google android has a great article on the commands for their init.rc file.

http://source.android.com/porting/bring_up.html - scroll down to the section title Android Init Language
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Even better. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
I just realized the run-parts command in busybox runs a bunch of scripts in a directory (description if you run busybox runparts by itself) so this should work.... but it doesnt...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentroniX:
From the documentation joeykrim linked:

So you'd want:

service <name> /etc/init.d/your-script-here
oneshot

You'll need to add that block for each script you wish to run.

Furthermore, the documentation states

So the fact that you have the 'disabled' option set might be the reason it's not executing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Well that disabled is why it wasn't trying to run the script however when I removed disabled it kept looping at the first boot screen (before the animated one). So I just tried taking the code out of the init.rc and putting it in the bootcomplete.supersonic.rc file. This allowed the phone to boot but it looks like the scripts aren't running at all. Ugh. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Ok so I figured it out. In all of the init.d setups I have seen they create a service in the init.rc that will load all the scripts in the init.d directory and then after the file system loads they start that service. Well, the boot process for the Evo is apparently a little different. HTC changed things to have seperate rc scripts for when the boot and shutdowns are complete. So the bootcomplete.supersonic.rc file is what we want to modify.

This script doesn't work with the init.rc commands but it does work with simple linux shell commands. So simply adding

/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

to the bottom of this file will call all scripts inside the /system/etc/init.d folder on boot completion.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentroniX:
Good to know, and glad you got it working!! Hopefully we'll see a kickass ROM from you soon! ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Well it will be better than my last (hopefully released today) but nothing truly kick ass until we get kernel source in which the camera works. Oh the possibilities.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
so you added that line to bootcomplete.supersonic.rc ?

interesting HTC modified the boot order and setup, but not surprising.

glad we now know how to execute multiple scripts.

out of curiosity and hopefully not off topic, what are you executing in multiple scripts which couldn't be executed in one script called by the original init.rc file?

for reference, when running one individual script, the code i posted above, adheres to google's standard and should work fine.

# run custom SDX functions

service sdx /sbin/sdx.sh

oneshot
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Oh I could have put it all in one script but for cleanliness I wanted multiple scripts. This way they can more easily be read and modified. I hate ugly dirty cluttered code and directories.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
Actually, you could've left the lines the way they were...

Right above class_start default, put the following two lines in:

start sysinit

on property:cm.filesystem.ready=1

The last line is to stop init.rc until you set the cm.filesystem.ready property (you do that from one of the scripts in /system/etc/init.d)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
interesting approach! thanks for sharing this!

i assume this on property cm.filesystem.ready feature must be exclusive to android?

would the logic also follow, you'd set ready to 0 in the last of the scripts located under /system/etc/init.d ?

would there be any downside to this approach? if there was an error in the script files and they stopped, would loading of the init.rc also stop and severely stall the boot up process?

set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0755, "/system/etc/init.d"); ideos x6 updater script

I don't know which 1 to put in the update script!?!

Im trying to port cm7 to changhong z-me and using ideos x6 as port.
[EVO 4G General] mjz147:
I love the EVO, and the whole android notificaton system, but am shocked that HTC removed this feature on the EVO.

On the Hero,

when you got a text message up in the notification bar, it would show the message notification and then have a little number showing how much.

Obviously if you had one message their would be one message in the notification bar, and 2 or and so on.

however on the EVO, if you get 1,2, or 3 messges it only show the messaging Icon without the number in the notification bar.

It seems stupid that they would keep that feature on the hero with a 3.2 in screen, but remove it from the EVO with a 4.3 inch screen.

I know on the standard Android like on the nexus one or the samsung moment or droid it only shows the messaging ICON without the number no matter how many messages you have.

I really miss this feature, Is their anyway to install an .apk that would add that feature?

In the photo below it shows the missed call number and voicemail number in green, but they used to do that with texting and email
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
I didn't know the Hero has that. Would like this too on my Evo:p

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronik03:
Hey all, recently bought the Sprint HTC Hero CDMA, got it rooted, flashed, and using ModACO 2.2 Custom.

Before and After I installed the ROM

When I go to "settings" > "phone info" it says "firmware 1.5"

My question is, can I install a custom ROM that is higher than Android 1.5, or can I only use the custom ROMS under Android 1.5 category?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroid007:
First of all, as long as your posting a general question you "NEED" to post it under "General" or "Q&A" category!!

Once you are rooted, you can install "any" ROM that's compatible with your device and carrier!!!

Can some admin please move this thread to appropriate section?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronik03:
Sorry and Thanks

Sorry, wasn't sure if I should do general or here just because it has to do with ROMS.

But, thank you for answering my question :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
I bet you guys are great to party with. Do you call the cops on someone that's had a couple beers too? Let the mods do their job. They don't need you crying tattle-tale.

To answer the original question, yes you can use any ROM in this section whether it's 1.5 or 2.1. Just pick one that has the features you want and go for it. Be sure to nandroid.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronik03:
Going to try Aloysius 2.1

It has Apps2SD already installed it so it says, I've still been trying to get that to work right.

You just gotta wipe phone, partition sd fat32+ext2+swap, than install the new update.zip ROM right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Just follow the instructions the the thread of the ROM of your choice. You'll do fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showbo:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
Yeah...Make sure to backup anything on your sdcard to your computer including your very 1st nandroid. Do not lose it. Which recovery do you have 1.6.2 or 1.5.2 or 1.2.3?

When creating the partitions, leave the defauts as they are unless you plan on installing 800+ apps. Most of the time the ROM will tell you what to do. Always nandroid and also copy your nandroid folder to your computer so you don't lose everything if you sd card fails
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronik03:
I have 1.2.3

I got Aloysius up and running, still having trouble with the Apps2SD though.

Once I go into DConfig and save my settings it asks me to reboot. Not sure why, but phone won't start up with microSD card in it. It reads the card if I put it in after reboot though.
[HD2 General] cowboyuk:
ok let me start by saying im new to this type of thing :P

Basically i have been wanting to get some cool apps and themes etc for my HTC HD2 T-Mobile uk phone for a while now.

I searched and found this awesome site etc..

After messing about for a good 3-4 hours on finding what means what i got windows mobile downloaded lots of Roms and alot of head scratching figuring out what it all means.

After alot of messing about i got Windows mobile to reconise my phone and i flashed my phone and put a Rom on (which i cant remember which now>_< )

Then the problems started to happen, Windows mobile stopped detecting my phone altogeter.

So i tried changing USB ports/Activating faster sync in the phone settings and trying over and over, Nothing!!

So i thought i would restart my phone and computer.

Restarted my computer and looked to see my phone had got stuck on the boot screen. After 10minutes of waiting for the phone to start i took the battery out and tried that and same thing over and over.

I then tried holding down volume buttons and reseting and it finally started after i reset it.

I i thought i would restart it again and the same thing happened! so i thought i would try a hard reset.. Done that and nothing, still the same thing >_<

Now im stuck with a crap interface that i can't use and i can basically never turn my phone off because it gets stuck.

Please someone help this noob out and put a end to my frustration on what to do!
[HD2 General] :
right sounds like you havent got the right radio for you're ROM,

Can you remember what ROM it was you flashed? if not shouldnt be to much of a struggle

turn you're phone off hold the volume down button and keep holding turn the phone off, and if you get the coloured screen you're safe and we can sort this out
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the first mistake many people make is flashing an all singing and dancing cooked rom and think that's it.

if a rom unlocks the extra ram, (or says tmous compatible, or says the rom Is based on 2.x..).they all mean the same thing - the radio must be a tmous radio, i.e. one with ..50.. in the version number.

all non tmous phones come with radios with ..51.. version numbers, and hence boot problems until you change the radio.

(think yourself lucky, if you flash our radio to a tmous it kills the phone)

next time, read the rom thread for recommended radio. it will be in the first or second post.
[HD2 General] cowboyuk:
I haven't had time to sort this out until today and im so confused and just need some help explaining what and how i will do this.

My phone doesn't boot unless i hold down the volume buttons and reset it and then wait 5minutes for it to restore everything.

From what i gather i need to change my Radio rom so my phone starts properly.

Ok i get that .. but how do i put a radio rom on my phone if my PC does not reconise the phone in windows mobile? (just says not connected)

I can get the phone to show up on my computer if i change it to "disk Drive"

but not if i use active sync.

So please someone explain to how i can get my phone showing up so i can put a new Radio rom on to my phone using windows mobile?

I appreciate any help :) thanks
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you can flash from bootloader. phone doesnt need to be booted.

boot into biootloader, flash the radio, done.
