[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan_G:
Hi all,

There has been a problem that myself and others have noticed, it seems that DRM is not compatible with any cooked roms for some reason but only on stock roms. Does anyone know how to enable this feature or whether they know that it works on a cooked rom.

Thanks

Ryan_G
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3PH:
I might be missing the point here but DRM is turned off because it's bad. There is not a person i know that likes or wants Digital rights management in any form. Especially the versions that prevent you from playing music on anything but the pc it was purchased on (APPLE!!!!!).

How you would you feel if you bought a brand new CD or DVD and then i came round your house and told you that you could pick one device to play it in and you could never ever play it in another device because the disc would self destruct? I guess not very happy, right? That is, in a very crude way, essentially what DRM is doing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan_G:
Yeh I understand your point, but the reason why I and most other people would like it, is because of how napster works with it, using napster to go. Without drm enabled you can't transfer music to your devices for free.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3PH:
well see as you already paid for the track whats stopping you downloading a drm free version from one of the many places this can be done (and no i don't condone illegal activity but i also don't pay for things twice)? If you already have paid for it AFAIK it's not illegal as long as you can prove your purchase.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan_G:
Well I was hoping for a lazy option for transferring music directly from napster, but like you said there are many other places to get your music from and drm has its limitations too. I might just stick with the stock rom till someone finds a solution for this though.

Thanks anyway

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] broadus:
Hi all,

This is my first time posting. I've been trying to get custom taskbars working on my CDMA TP2 (with wm 6.5) and always seem to run into the same problem. When I install a custom taskbar everything works except for the signal bars... instead it just shows a "missing sim card" icon. If I uninstall the taskbar, signal bars work fine again. I've attached a pic to show what it's doing.

I've searched various threads and other forums also with no luck on a solution. I have a feeling it has something to do with phcanOverbmp.dll. If I only replace that file with the one from the custom taskbar and then modify the registry for the battery icons, it has the same effect, but with the new battery icon working. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this? Thanks for the help!
[Droid Incredible General] jasonb1985:
does MinFreeManager and apps similar to it actually work on our phones? can anyone confirm they work even though we are still Nand locked?
[Droid Incredible General] xvenom89:
Yes, it works. My personal choice for such a task is Autokiller.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.rs.autokiller
[Droid Incredible General] jasonb1985:
how did you confirm that it actually works?

on MinFreeManager i just set empty to 200, and the next one to 100 and i still have only 110MB free.

i know 200 is a ridiculous number to set it to, but shouldn't i see things getting killed and a number closer to 200 when i check available memory? i would just like to see it do something.

EDIT: i really don't think MinFreeManager is working. i set the values to 200, 150, 100, 50, 25, and 10. i still only have 106MB free according to System Panel. i know these are really high values, but i would think i would see it doing something.
[Droid Incredible General] jasonb1985:
ok, it actually may be working.

with my crazy high values set i opened pretty much every single app i have on my phone and the memory never dropped below 95MB or so.

i then set the values much much lower (the mild setting) and was able to get it down to the mid 60's. so i guess it's working, but it just isn't as aggressive as i expected.

what do you think?
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
Minfreemanager might be the most lightweight, but I like AutoKiller the best too -- big battery saver, our RAM isn't close to being challenged yet, but it prevents background processes from hogging RAM. I like the "extreme" or "strict" settings -- and yeah, when I up the preset, the amount of RAM available jumps up as the Java VM grabs RAM back. Also, I like White Killer, for the quick-kill of everything but what you think you need.
[Droid Incredible General] jasonb1985:
I'm giving Autokiller a go right now. I have it set at 150, 100, 75, 25, 10, and 5.

I had been using either Autokiller or Auto Memory Manager on my rooted Moto Droid since day one and it worked great on it. i just wasn't sure it was working on the Inc since we aren't quite as rooted as the Droid yet.
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
It works by using commands available in the stock command console, just like Phone Prioritizer manipulates renice frequency to make the phone go more fast :) Or . . . Memory for Lemmings prompts Java VM to check to see what memory it can take back from dormant apps.
[Droid Incredible General] blmartin:
I've only had an android phone now for a few weeks...my first smartphone, but I'm very interested in the inner workings so bear with me.

I'm with you on whether or not it is working. I set my values really high...250 for my last three numbers really expecting to see something happen such as all the apps that were "empty" being killed to free up some memory. Instead my memory got down in the 180s. Are we just confused about how the internal memory manager should work with these values?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tarantula78:
Hi,

I wish to sell some software for WinMo 6.5 but I wanted to know how i can protect it from being cracked. With the BB I coulda placed it in the appstore and they would provide some method on protecting it (im assuming by the blackberry PIN). So is there some way I can stop my WinMo application from being disassembled or atleast make it more difficult to crack?

Thanks in advance :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
Hi

assuming you are talking about .NET assemblies, you should use INTELLILOCK. It is the best protection I have ever seen! And it is very cheap!

go to www.eziriz.com and see...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Rustys:
You can try!

Having had some experience in this mater, I can surely say there hasn't been a means by which you can protect your software. I know of a situation where the core app was stored on a server and each time you used it you had to log on and use it on line. After carefully studying the packet stream between the user and the server. subversion was created for the server security and the user was allowed to copy the main app the his/her own system.

In short you should use some sort of protection, but it want stop your app from being cracked but fortunate as it is honest people are still honest.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unicromium:
Is this even possible? I think that device has a potential. It's the crappy software that is preventing me from purchasing it. It would be nice if someone developed true android ports for those cheap Chinese mobile phones so poor college students like myself who do not wish to be locked to a contract can get a cheap phones. I finally found that the Airphone has a processor with the following specs:

Mtek MT6235 ARM9 core, 208MHz Speed CPU

I read somewhere that Android needs at least 200mhz to run, so this processor should be able to support it, right? I am interested in getting into the mobile hacking scene for Android, but I do not know where to begin. If I purchased this mobile phone (its cheap, I can get it for 89$) which tools would I require to begin hacking it?

Yes, I know this mobile phone does not have 3G, but I have no use for that technology on a phone because I have other means of accessing the internet. I like this mobile because it is very very slim, about the same size as my ipod touch. I know so many other people would purchase this phone if it had android instead of the sucky iPhoney OS.

Many thanks!

I had a Droid, now I have an INC. Your assumptions are correct sir.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] KurtangleTN:
Have you tried overclocking and 2.2 on the Droid? I suppose since it's already done.. but the general kind of lack of fluidity was starting to erk me on the stock 2.1.. went ahead and rooted, put 2.2 on, overclocked to 1ghz (which to my touch, it seems to actually be cooler and lasting longer) and my god what a difference, it's like getting a new phone to be honest.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jcjdoss:
Yea, I am rooted on 2.2. It is like a new phone. If you have seen the touch screen test between iphone and several other phones you'll see the droid has a rough touch screen. I am also still having memory issues. But it is a lot better and faster
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Fekish:
Hello,

because i am trying to find out, from where can i put the 2.2 interface on droid?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MAster224:
First off you have to be rooted just google it. theres a nice youtube video but i cant post links :( so then after you are rooted download an app called Rom Manger its free after that you can download different roms but right now Bugless beast has the most stable up to date froyo so download his rom and its will auto flash it for you then your done :P

[Desire General] jrc91:
Hi guys, I'm new here and i've just had my Desire for just over a week.

Apparently I need to use a Goldcard to root my desire and wanted to ask a couple of questions in regards to this.

-My understanding is that the Telstra Desires are unlocked, therefore not needing a Goldcard?

-After the rooting process is finished do you still need the Goldcard or is it only needed while you initially root the phone?

-During the rooting process, you replace the original rom with another rom, can this be any rom on the market that is rooted? or should it be the recommended rom stated in the guide?

-Which set of files do i use during the rooting guides? as the phone is bootloader 0.75 but has a 1.16.841.1 rom?

I have done a fair amount of reading on other posts(XDA and MoDaCo) and just need to get a better understanding of how the rooting process works.

Desire Bootloader Shows:

BRAVO UNKNOW SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.75.0000

MICROP-031d

TOUCH-PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-4.05.00.11

Device:

Stock Telstra ROM

HTC Desire A8183

Build 1.16.841.1

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Desire General] mrturkey:
Howdy, as I have a Telstra Desire I think I can help.

1. You need the gold card, there are guides about, but leave a message in this thread if you need specific direction.

2. I would use whatever ROM is in the guide, I have been using Rom Manager to switch ROM's since then though. (Which is currently broken for me, working on it now)

3. I used the 0.8 or greater guide one on mine, seemed to do the job.

so to sum it up

a. make gold card, I have kept this card on my 2gb micro sd

b. flash rom, I have this on my 4gb micro sd

c. use new stuff, I have a 16gb flash for my daily use.

Enjoy but be prepared to have a few bugs pop up. Also, no FROYO roms have video recording working yet..... (This is the biggest missing feature)
[Desire General] jrc91:
Thanks heaps.

So once you flash a custom ROM, you don't need the Goldcard to boot the device?

Is there any way to flash directly from a PC rather than copy the ROM to the SD card, or is it worth using ROM Manager?

And how do you install/use ROM Manager/clockwork? i assume you need to be rooted first?

have you had any problems with GPS since flashing custom roms?

Sorry, i've been reading heaps, and i think i'm confusing myself more than making sense.
[Desire General] Pondy:
Mate I have a Telstra Desire as well, I rooted/flashed it last night (after weeks of paranoia), and it's well worth it. Just follow the instructions closely and you will be right.

I am running 24/6 Modaco and GPS seemed to be working well this morning, battery consumption seems a little better, the overall performance is heaps better than stock.

What are you waiting for!? DO IT!!!! :cool:

Same here, if you need help you can pm me if you cant reach mrturkey
[Desire General] jrc91:
Great! i'll probably have a go this weekend.

A couple of other questions: are you still able to connect to the Telstra Next G Network? I assume you would be able to as you don't flash the radio?

So once you flash a custom ROM, you don't need the Goldcard to boot the device?

[Desire General] ozjubb:
Yep can still connect to NextG, I always check the APN's after putting a new rom as most of the time I have to change a couple of settings in them.

Don't need goldcard to boot after rooting is done

Best way to flash ROM's is from the SD card IMO.

The ROM manager / fakeflash methods are the easiest way to go (I use ROM manager) it is pretty straight forward to use, and yes you do need to root before using rom manager.
[Desire General] jbngar:
telstra next g vs 3g

Hi guys - just a quick question for those of you who are running Telstra Desires on Optus and other networks. Someone mentioned on whirlpool that the NextG version is actually missing the correct 3G band for running on the other networks (3G 900 Mhz?) and that the overseas/non-telstra versions are actually faster because they run at 3G speed rather than '2.5G'. Does that sound right to you, or is the speed of the Telstra Desire just fine on the Optus network?

Quote from Whirlpool:

I initially bought the Telstra-Branded Htc-Desire & brang it back for a REFUND.!

(I should of known better to listen to Telstra sales, as I hate branded phones)

I also use Optus, & having the Telstra branded one is, U miss out on the 3G 900mhz bandwidth...

Internet speeds have now gone waaay faster now & works like it's suppose too ... And so it should ...
[Desire General] Pondy:
OK well it indicates that it is connected as 3g, and in some areas h.

The speed seemed acceptable to me this morning when I downloaded some app updates.

How can I tell for sure whether its 2.5 or 3?
[Desire General] Stewge:
The NextG network is 3G. 2.5G is the old designation for GSM (or CDMA) networks with GPRS.

For optus you'll need to get the international version of the Desire (A8181) which works on the 900/2100 bands. According to wiki optus runs their own 3G network on 900. The telstra Desire runs on 850/2100.

btw...the "h" indicates HSPA support
[Desire General] great_lumbuey:
I have a Telstra Desire running on the Optus network, and the speed is really good.

I rooted and my Desire over the weekend and loaded Modaco 1.21.mcr.2 CLxxxxxx ROM as a first custom ROM. Had a few issues with loading on the custom recovery after loading my custom rom (issues were due to adb drivers on windows OS - use a linux distro to load the recovery from UnrEVOked's recovery flashing thingamebob, then use ClockworkMod ROM Recovery from the Android market.

Ill try other ROMs this weekend once i am not using the phone for work...but all in all the phone is so much faster without the Telstra bloatware on it.

Thanks to all the developers around...(I will thank you financially aswell).

I have a Orange SPV M500 and i have decided to flash it.

I've been trying to do it by myself, following the tutorials from this forum, but unfortunately my phone in the bootloader after i press next in the "you have this ... and it's gonna be uploaded to this ...." screen.

When I reboot it, I get this information

Hi,

this is my very first contribution to this site. I've never posted anywhere here so I though it's time to start now.

So I have 2 weeks off from now and I am already bored. And since I just flashed a new ROM on my HTC HD2 I thought about making a theme for it featuring my favorite Touhou (a shooting game) character Reiuji Utsuho.

I am planning to change/make

Splashscreen

Animated Bootscreen

Welcome Screen

Wallpaper

Icons (maybe)

Bootsound

Analogclock (for use with Cookies Hometab)

Textmessage alert

Ringtone

Startbutton and taskbar

Since I am not allowed to link to stuff yet I just uploaded my current progress.

So far I made a animated bootscreen (which is too short so I'll redo it later)

and a Welcome screen.

I also made a test analog clock which works fine.

I just started making that theme today so I don't have any idea how to make a cab and stuff but I'll find that out soon enough...

I hope some people will like it to give me some motivation~

It's hard to time the bootscreen with the welcomescreen. The first ones I made were too short and I had a black screen between them. So I just made the bootscreen's last frame the welcomescreen.

Since I cannot upload a gif bigger than 800x480 nor can I link or embedd pictures from other sites yet, I just zipped and attached it to this post.

I hope that splashscreen is usable. I found that tool to convert it. But I need to find the tool to make it a flashable file.

The analog clock was just a test but it seems to work.

So I hope someone can tell me how to make a cab of all this when it's done~

Update 28.06.2010: Finished Splashscreen (the zip file conains a RUU_singned)

Update 28.06.2010: Added bootsound (the se_cat001.zip)
