I'm on the stock firmware(with Rogers in canada.. don't remember what its called) and exchange works fine for me on Moxier... use it regularly at work so its pretty useful

Edit: Sorry, misread your post. The new version has widgets? Coool
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Capn Chaos:
SE only included a small updates version 2.1.58.3, this one is from February 17th, the newest version is 2.7 and is from May 26.

Yeah, the widget came in 2.5 (finally)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] robbyf66:
I can afford to pay 25 for the extra features.

Should be able to upgrade via market imo
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Erwinn:
I allready removed the Moxierfolder and tried to install 2.5 but it's still a system application. Your walkthrough doesnt work here because of that. What can I do?

I editted the packages.xml file by copying it to my sd card en editting it on the computer. When i want to replace the original xml file can i use the following code?

cp /sdcard/packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml
chown system:system /data/system/packages.xml
chmod 664 /data/system/packages.xml
rm /sdcard/packages.xml
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Capn Chaos:
Yes you can, as long you are root on your phone. After this, install the OLD version of moxier and uninstall it again, this will update all the phones databasen and you can now install the newest moxier.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Candy[MAN]:
What do these commands do?

chown system:system /data/system/packages.xml

chmod 664 /data/system/packages.xml

Cant I not just edit the file and then overwrite the old one with the new editted one using a file manager like Root explorer? Or do these commands do something to the file as well?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] drdownload:
this sets the file permissions for the file, and yes, you need to set them in order to get it working.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] QuentinCosta:
rofl, anybody needs moxier-mail? Noooo...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] robbyf66:
Yes it's actually a pretty good application for exchange users. Probably better than any I have used in the past.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nofait:
You should do:

chown system.system /data/system/packages.xml

if you do chown system:system /data/system/packages.xml it will return:

"No such user system:system" as it won't detect the : as a separator between user and group.

Hope this helps some of you! :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] TrietHocNhanSinh:
Speaking of the Moxier, do we actually need them? How do I remove / delete them? I tried, but couldn't, for some reasons.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
If u don't use it then u don't ready need it. Your phone needs to be rooted in order to remove it!

[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
As you can see from the image below, I cannot run a nandroid backup in the normal way by rebooting into recovery and scrolling through the menus on the screen. I can, however, run adb shell. Amazingly that thing still works! Problem is, the sdcard went down with the screen. I have another sdcard and I have confirmed it works by doing push/pulls to it. The wifi works, it's still getting txts and emails too. I've rebooted it into recovery using adb reboot recovery. I really need some way to run a nandroid backup.

Please help!
[EVO 4G General] a111z:
which recovery are you using,maybe someone could walk you through exactly which buttons to press and how many times in order to make the backup?
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
I'm not sure exactly what the recovery is called, but it is the one found in this thread from toast.

connect your phone to your computer, once you can get a ADB shell here is the order of commands you'll need

to flash a recovery image.

reboot recovery

wait about 30 seconds.

Key press order

Vol Down x2
Pwr
(now youre in backup menu)
Vol Down
Pwr x2
Wait 3-5 minutes

Nand backup created!

good luck.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Sorry, but story now, please! That thing is WASTED!
[EVO 4G General] mattrb:
Story of how it broke dammit! So we know how to avoid it from happening to us.
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
UPDATE:

I've solved my problem.

To perform a nandroid backup with a smashed screen......

adb reboot recovery
adb shell
cd /sbin
nandroid-mobile-sh -b

worked like a charm! The above procedure assumes you have root and a recovery image installed.

Also, nandroid-mobile.sh --help will show a full list of options.
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
The story:

I was on vacation this weekend down in Ft. Lauderdale. I was sitting in the lobby waiting for my friend (he went to take a dump before we headed out that night). While I'm sitting there, this guy comes into the lobby yelling at me, reaking of booze. His head was the same shade of red as inside the EVO. I have no f'ing idea who he is why he's attacking me. He grabs my phone out of my hands and slams it down on the marble floor. About this time a security guard shows up and says "Is there a problem here?" And I was like are you serious, hell yeah! Cops came and so on.. Now I have no phone due to some anonymous, drunk a-hole.

Thus, there is nothing you can do to prevent this from happening to your EVO. (Unless you are psychic and can tell when a crazed drunk will strike next!)
[EVO 4G General] MagnusRagnarok:
Thats very unfortunate. sorry to hear you lost your evo in such a ridiculous manner. Im sure you had insurance though, so just a matter of deductable....UNLESS that drunk guy smashed it AND stole it:D....glad you saved your nan though....i know how important they can be:D and good luck with your replacement
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
Yeah, apparently it'll be a few weeks to get it replaced. EVO's are hot and backordered I guess.
[EVO 4G General] xviiivx:
If that happened to me, I would have been the one going to jail for murdering a drunk a-hole. I'm usually a pretty laid back guy, but no way I'm going to keep my cool if someone snatched and smashed my evo.

Sorry for your loss..
[EVO 4G General] webs05:
FYI to anyone afraid of random drunk people, I found out last week that most if not all forms of home owners insurance and renters insurance will allow you to separately insure personal items for a nominal fee.

My wife's hero and my evo are now insured for $50 a year under renters insurance. My friend insured 2 evo's and a hero for $15 for a year. Plus neither have a deductible for personal item insurance. Just the yearly payment.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Wow! I hope you pressed charges on him!
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
The cops took him. But it'll be a long while before all that crap is sorted and they make him pay for it.
[EVO 4G General] regulator207:
I had a feeling this involved alcohol =]
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
The worst part of it all is I'll probably get a replacement with the new OTA and I won't be able to root anymore.
[EVO 4G General] robpet2:
damn bro sorry for your loss... but wait a minute.. after the latest update that was sent out the other day, we cant root the phone ???? wtf ... didnt know that and mine is still unrooted.. was waiting to root it cause im not sure if im keeping it..
[EVO 4G General] M@XLOL:
Just used this with AMON's recovery and it gave me the option to name it through adb :D
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
you'll get root, don't worry.

and I've found a way to keep things like this from happening at the hands of random drunk a-holes...

[General Topics] RedRamage:
Sorta an odd question, but it hit me this morning while I was on my morning commute.

Which hand do you normally hold you phone in? I'm right handed, but my left is my phone hand. I'm sure this goes back to the PDA days when I held the PDA in my left and wrote or tapped with the stylus with my right hand. Even when I'm doing one handed operations like talking on the phone or reading a book, it's still almost always in my left.

I would guess that this is true for most people. Even in a finger friendly era I think most people would hold in left and touch with their right (dominate) hand.

Now, given this, doesn't it make more sense for slide out keyboards to slide out to the right? I may be biased as my first slide out was a XV6800 which did slide out from the right. But this just seemed natural. I'm holding my phone in my left, then I want to type. So I just rotate the top down to the right, into my hand, and flip up the screen.

I'm using a Touch Pro2 now, which has a left sliding keyboard. Now to when I want to type I have to rotate the bottom of the phone up out of my palm to grab it with my right and then flip up the screen.

To be sure, this is a very minor issue and not something I'm going to lose a lot of sleep over, but it just seems that a righty keyboard is a more fluid motion for people who hold their phones in their left hand. And I suspect that most of us are lefty-phone people. Just curious what the rest of y'all think.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Left handed

I´m left handed and hold my device with my right hand.

Please see here as reference
[General Topics] jasonleb1:
I'm left handed and I hold my phone in my left hand. I do almost all my phone operation one-handed and if I need to do something that requires two-hand operation (typing in landscape for example) I hold my phone with both hands and use my thumbs. And I personally prefer phone keyboards to come out from the left.
[Hero CDMA General] Oxrod:
Before I rooted I would read all these posts about how great the roms would be after Sprint released 2.1. So finally I rooted this weekend, and as I look through all the ROMs they all have major issues, and a lot of the major players have moved on to the EVO. So is that it. As soon as 2.1 comes to us we are left with a bunch of roms that don't work any better, or worse, then stock? That is unless I'm willing to cut out all of HTC and Google software.

Please give me advice as to what I do with this rooted phone now.
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
Not all of the phones have major issues if u read a lot of the roms they tell if they have any. Also there r stock roms that can be overclocked. We've had three or four devs leave to the evo. That not the end of the world plus they left with final full working roms. If ur not happy with something then for it itself or realize nothing is perfect and that these devs spend a lot of there free time cooking there roms and get real tired of hearing people complain about something that us free. Be a little grateful. Read, search, to a little homework and then ask the questions u have inside ur head before u post a dumb question
[Hero CDMA General] neuro_genesis:
Look around, no one here is going to hold your hand.
[Hero CDMA General] Nanan00:
I would chalk up the majority of the "user problems" to user error such as not wiping between flashes or bad 3rd party software with memory leaks or preventing the phone from sleeping...

Sadly a good number of devs went on to the Evo, even worse is some left in the mid of new releases without fixing some bugs.
[Hero CDMA General] vidsid:
Even though a couple of the dev's have moved on, there are still some great ones working on the hero. There are at least 6 or 7 fully functioning roms built on 2.1 right now and there's even some movement on 2.2.
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
As soon as 2.2 is fully functional I'm gonna make a rom of my own with it and I've got my second rom comming soon to 2.1 woohoo lol
[Hero CDMA General] Oxrod:
Lol, I have been a member here for more then a year, but I don't post because I know what you get here when you post, I had 2 people call my question dumb or call me ungrateful..

Anyways, I was not being mean to the devs. I think their feelings are still intact (those who have not left)

As for reading and searching the forums, which the "positive" posters repeat like a mantra.... well I have been reading, I've been reading like crazy, and All I see are problems with the Roms because no one ever posts positive feedback.

However, I gather from those more productive posts here that the ROMs are very good quality. So from here ill try them out myself, and refrain from posting again for the next year.

Thank you and sorry to all those with tender feelings who where offended by the simplest of posts.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Just an FYI for everyone Fresh just put out a 2.5.2 BETA to donors.

I assume he will leave this one in 100% working order before he dumps the hero for good.

I think he said in the email something along the lines of "last build before FINAL" but don't quote my quote. ;)

I haven't run a damaged ROM in weeks - I went from him to Darch which I feel is the end all.

[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I can't give a link, Fresh would be mad a me. :D Give it a few days and hell have a post in the dev thread.
[Hero CDMA General] HEROEVO:
Or he can go to geekfor.me and donate to flipz to get access to the beta testing
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
That is my first rom. Coming next is Red dawn to 2.1 roms. I might convert them over when froyo hits
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
That's odd. I see people in DamageControl and Darchdroid thanking the devs all the time. I haven't had any major issues at all and very few minor ones.
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
Agreed. I get them in my rom thread also. But I also get feed back if things don't which I appreciate cause then I can fix it
[Hero CDMA General] Oxrod:
OK OK, I'm Wrong. You are right. The person who made this thread is a big dummy who didn't read anything at all, and is a fine example of whats wrong with this website and n00bs in general.
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
Lmao maybe u need a bath to get all the sand out of the unmentionable places lmao
[Hero CDMA General] smolck:
Aloysius 2.1 is rock solid, fast, chocked full of goodies, and did I say, STABLE. Blows any stock Sprint ROM out of the water. DarchDroid 2.7 is good and fast if you like AOSP. And I liked RegawMOD a lot too (use Honeybun OC kernel for extra speed). Plenty of others out there as well. I really liked the Blue ROM but my Hero won't load it. Just try them and quit worrying about it. Use apps2sd and then nandroid and you can go back and forth without losing your apps.
[Hero CDMA General] JsChiSurf:
Last build before "FINAL" just means the last non-beta release before an official / final release :p.
[Hero CDMA General] smolck:
Can't wait to see Red Dawn, hope I can load it! Gonna try Blue Echo again tonight, maybe my dang Hero will let the goodness in tonight.... :D
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
fixxer2008 is that you??

just kidding.

the people who post in the rom threads normally exaggerate everything even the tiniest detail. plus there are 100 guys re-posting the same issue.

your first post was tl;dnr but i assume you at least nandroided (made up word), wiped and flashed a few roms? don't just read rom threads, not gonna have a good time. it will make you want to blow your brains out. the issues are usually on the first page. and some of those have fixes/workarounds in the second post.

after you flash then play around for a while. if you find something that you think is a bug, then search the rom thread. i am sure with 300+ pages its been reported and a workaround posted.

i think you will have a better time.

i'm sure you will have some witty comeback to this post, that's ok with me. but i am really trying to help.
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
The 2.1.5 release works well. But ill have 2.1.6.(hopefully final with all things working in that release)

I have never had any issues that werent cause by me..

As always if u have issues with a certain rom.. start over..and try again..lol i can count many times i flashed a new release only to forget something etc..and have to start over.lol
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Now, I never said that. LOL

I think your point and my point combined bring to light the truth. People come in here to complain and get help. They don't come in to compliment and appreciate. I mean, that'd take manners. It seems to me to be a "squeaky wheel" syndrome. We hear a lot of complaints, but I think they're a relatively small percentage of the population.
[Hero CDMA General] Oxrod:
I will take your advice. I have rooted, and did a nandroid backup which I saved to my pc. So I'm ready to wipe/factory reset/and flash. So I shall and stick to the first post of the Rom threads. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] epitaphromance:
appreciate through donation.... how do you think the devs got the money to upgrade.....just because they dont post "THANK YOU MAN, I LOVE YOU" doesnt mean they dont appreciate what they do.
[Hero CDMA General] Oxrod:
I just sent a donation to the DEV of the ROM I'm using. See, I can learn.

I see the Radio being mentioned often and wonder if that is something necessary to update.

I have rooted my phone, installed a clockwork recover (I think that is it) and installed the Calkulin ROM. Should I be installing a radio update? Can I do it after a ROM is installed via the install .zip from SD card?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Yes, you should always update your radio. It usually provides better service and other features like that.

Here is some info on flashing radios.

[EVO 4G General] PAPutzback:
any luck finding a wiki for newbies. I am slowly figuring out bits a pieces. But I am still confused about the disconnect between the kernel and the ROM. And recovery managers and updaters. Like what does the Fresh updater do. Update the ROM? Pieces of the ROM?

My guess is we will have to hope for those kexec guys to be successful, since i doubt motorola will roll an official update...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 0mega1:
That's what you think. Our rep quotes a 4 digit employee number and has the phone reps eating out of his hands. He's privy to a lot more info than a phone tech I'm sure ;)

I imagine all the Milestone/Milestone XT7xx carriers got Froyo code drops from Motorola this week for testing, not just Telus. We already know that Verizon is testing it on the Droid.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pajo985:
it won't lock your phone, but your 3G will be disabled (you will have only edge data connection)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Bavilo:
You can enable 3G again by simply backing up a few files before doing the upgrade.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lkgonzales:
Oh no! I'm dependent on 3G/HSDPA. Why is this so? Does the Telus ROM activate a different 3G bandwidth? Any work around for this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lkgonzales:
Hey Bavilo, Thanks... you answered my question before i even asked it. What files are these and how do i do it?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Bavilo:
These are the files you need to backup from your current firmware, and push back once you upgrade to a firmware where you will lose 3G.

they will be located in:

/system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default

File_Audio , File_Audio2 , File_GSM , File_Seem_Flex_Tables , generic_pds_init
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lkgonzales:
How do i access these system files? Is it as simple as copy/paste?

Either you copy them using ADB, or Root Explorer if you have that.
