[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sylux:
well im tired of seeing my old boring t-mobile taskbar and wish to find out a new taskbar. i want one that is bug free, (most of the taskbars i tried come out bugged or when installed it messes something up in my phone.) eye candy and most of all one that tells me the battery %. (cause im sick and tired of going to the notification bar and checking my battery%)

i run on 6.5 winmo, htc hd2, 2.13 stock rom, manila 2.5.2012

please be a taskbar that is easy to install....no brain surgery on my phone. lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bariskoca:

Is this possible? as i dont care about sense ui... arent they pretty much the same phone ?? shouldnt everything work ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
2 questions. I searched the forums and don't really see a good explanation. Does anyone else led light stay on for several seconds after they unplug? Also, when I have the phone off and try to boot to recovery. It sometimes makes me hit the power button several times before the phone powers up. I think this happens even when I try to boot normally.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
My power light stays on for a few seconds when i unplug as well, the phone thinks it's charging as the icons stay as well. I wouldn't think anything of it, just bad HTC programming.

Don't tap the power button, just hold it till the phone turns on.
[EVO 4G General] krizno:
Does anyones kickstand randomly open I'm thinking they should of put a lock on this guess i gotta mod my case
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
It shouldn't

Swyped from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
looks like we have the first report the of kickstand wearing out, damn only been a month too :/
[EVO 4G General] Cicatrize:
I haven't had this issue. My kickstand is pretty solid and hasn't popped out accidentally once.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Is Swype back?
[EVO 4G General] tformed:
Kickstand is still rock solid here. "knockonwood..."
[EVO 4G General] krizno:
maybe I need to return it I can shake the phone real.good and the kickstand will fly out
[EVO 4G General] Nrre:
hmm, i tried to shake my phone and 'whip' it to try to get the kickstand to fall out.

nothing.

and i fiddle with it...just like i do with the battery covers on remotes etc :D

i open my kickstand by pushing on one end so the other end pops out.
[EVO 4G General] nenn:
when did it ever leave?
[EVO 4G General] whoamanwtf:
Hah me too that's why I looked at this post.I was thinking my fiddling was gonna wear it out but I'll tell you guys I have a bit of adhd and I play with the kick stand constantly on a launch device.no issues
[EVO 4G General] PAPutzback:
I think you have to use the version floating around the forums. IT has been a few weeks but there is a thread discussing it and the link to the file works fine.
[EVO 4G General] krizno:
It just seems lose maybe I should take it to sprint and make them tighten it
[HD2 General] calc:
I went around shopping today for a HD2 :D..

Trying to get the HD2 and sign a new 2yr contract family plan with 3-4 lines..and most the stores will offer it to me for free plus $50-100 bucks back. The only catch is they won't open the line unless i also sign up for the $30 data plan... which i don't want.

Some of the reps told me the alternative is to buy the international version of the phone without data plan but they want me to cough up a extra ~$200+ some dollars out of my pocket to get it.

I went to this one store and said they would give me the T-mobile version of the phone plus some money back as well without the data plan and the way he'll do it is not record the IMEI during the sign up...... really interesting proposition !!!

Does that really work ???? Not record the IMEI number... he said i won't have warranty if he doesn't not record the IMEI. I guess my real question is will Tmobile find out i have the HD2 and force data plan on my contract some time down the 2 year contract.....
[HD2 General] UrFutureFavEx:
Do you really want to risk the chance of not having a warranty though....???

I thought they had to list the IMEI when you sign up in order to establish the acct. but you never know. Just give it a long thought b/c you wouldnt want the phone to be defective after allowed time period and then have to pay $130 (assuming you get insurance) for another one....
[HD2 General] calc:
He said i can't buy the insurance or claim any type of warranty because then T-mobile will get the IMEI and probably enforce the data plan. So i really don't know how this works.... :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

In any event... if i pay $30 a month X 24 months i'm going to be out $720, by that time i've spent enough money to buy TWO HD2..... $720 dollars worth of service i don't really need because i have Wifi in most the places i travel to.
[HD2 General] maxpower097:
Yes it will work but you won't have any data at all. It will just say your phone is not supported on this network. In the future if you want data or text its $30 unlimited for both text and data. Or if you have skype you can get unlimited data alone for $39.99. I was thinking of that for a while. I think the dataplan is how they give you the phone, I thought it was mandatory so he may be cheating tmo out of money. Tmo stores are mostly independent and will lie cheat and steal from you any chance they get. I remeber one friend saying they were nice enough to recognize his IME and upgrade his dataplan automatically. Your Tmo guy may not tell you this. I would call Tmobile and order the phones you want online. If you don't want data but want an HD2 what about getting an HD2 on craigslist for $250 new and selling what you get from tmo, either a Touch Pro 2 , or a BB 9700 I think right now. Or get your kids phones on the plan and buy yours on CL.
[HD2 General] djdanska:
If you get the international version, you won't have 3g too. If you ever changed your mind about the data plan, you would be using it with edge. MUCH slower. Just buy the t-mobile one off craigslist and don't go on the internet via t-mobile. Just wifi. Ive never seen them put it on when someone doesn't have any internet. If you had the cheap internet plan, ive seen them refuse access to the internet until you buy the more expensive one but even that you can get around by changing the apn. Hell, im using my hd2 with $5.99 t-zones! With the epc apn! (Every time i call t-mobile about something, they give me this horror story about how my phone will shut off or stop working if i don't get the full data plan. They push it VERY hard but i keep refusing. I pay $100 in data plans on all my lines already!)
[HD2 General] UrFutureFavEx:
'Really? Im paying $30 for web alone and then $10 for text. smh
[HD2 General] :
Really and HD2 without a data plan is like buying a Lamborgini without an engine ...

It'll look good sitting in your garage, but what ya gonna do with it ???

Seriously , get the data plan , if you live in an area with HSDPA or even better HSDPA+ it is worth it, with the latter you can get upwards of 7 meg or so down in good coverage area, the data plan is pretty cheap for that kind of bandwidth ...

If not , just get you a pda and cheap phone ...
[HD2 General] UrFutureFavEx:
Yeah. i dont want to lose my data b/c its more dependable. but i have been hearing from a few ppl that their txt is included in that chrge. Maybe i need to actually take a look at my statement...
[HD2 General] calc:
I'm fully aware that the international version does not support the proper radio freq for Tmobile 3G but i've never heard of the phone not working because of the lack of data plan, the phone should work without the internet. :confused:

I refuse to pay $30 for 3G access when i have wifi ..... i have a HTC TYTN2 right now and all i do is make calls, txt and GPS... i rarely use the internet. I could care less about all the features i won't be able to use without data plan i'm in it more for the eye candy...... Now if they offered $30 for 4G access i would consider it.
[Desire General] manuvaidya:
look at this video & tell what do u think guys.... someone has managed to get sense UI & HD (720p) recording on latest android OS. even beofre the HTC release it officially, this guy from swiss has managed to get it working flawlessly... kudos to him....

Yeah, that does look really cool..i think it would be a lot easier to use if there was a way to avoid using vnc, but that would probably be very difficult to do.

Guys that is VNC! The dude there is not actually running Ubuntu on the phone!

Through VNC you can connect to OSX and Windows 7 as well.. so what's so special here?
[Nexus One Android Development] nosbiker2:
You cannot connect to Windows7 or Mac, when you type in a VNC localhost to connect!

So Ubuntu run on the phone and you use it with the xserver with a vnc viewer.

I hope so :rolleyes:

my keyboard is till weird, even after rebooting.
[Nexus One Android Development] BrandonG777:
# modprobe ext2

modprobe: chdir(2.6.34-cyanogenmod): No such file or directory

That's the second line of the script on CM6alpha1. Tried a couple different kernels with no success. Anyone get this to work on CM6?

BTW Anyone gotten sabnzbd running on their phone?
[Nexus One Android Development] shoemeistah:
Cool man, I'm trying it on a vodafone HTC Magic pvt32b with SpeedMagic Rom which has the 2.6.34-cyanogenmod jp@edde #12 Kernel version.

I know the Nexus is twice as fast but I just want to test it out as I have no Nexus, but I'm looking for a new android phone later which I might do the same on and experiment.

I'll also try it myself in the meantime but I don't have much experience with that. :P
[Nexus One Android Development] mathieulh:
I just updated my kernel and I can now run ubuntu just fine but I can't seem to shut it down (without rebooting the phone) which is rather anoying right now, I don't have time to look into this so far, I'll do later if no one found a solution by then, basically halt and shutdown commands are non responsive and exit throws me a nice loop1 device is busy error.
[Nexus One Android Development] Konqeror:
I can't figure this out. I've tried multiple kernels and roms, each time I get this. What should i do?
[Nexus One Android Development] mortzz:
How do you get the keyboard mapping correct? In Ubuntu, through the stock 2.2 keyboard, whenever I hit a key I get the wrong character.

And now after a reboot, bootubuntu fails.
[Nexus One Android Development] Lou2serious:
Ok I realized my keyboard works only if I'm using lxde, it doesn't work if I'm running gnome. Its weird but I'll stick lxde desktop for now. Those that are having issues might want to check which kernel you are using, plus make sure you have busybox installed.

Everything works for me and I have the stock android kernel, running MCR r21.
[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
Same here. I tried to add a string to Xstartup file and it doesnt work, it seems to be an issue with TightVNC on a broad level. I googled it, try it.

I wonder is it possible to get a light weight distro running instead of ubuntu for an increase in speed.
[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
Lubuntu. Only thing is we won't have flash as it only supports i386 right now unless someone can somehow port flash from android to this Ubuntu. I know alot of flash is just .so lib files.

cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

then reboot and cross fingers

This worked for me too :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Lou2serious:
I've tried to install flash via the terminal but no luck. I even tried to install chromium web browser with no luck.
[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
Awesome. I asked the OP to please add this to the first post since people may run into this issue.
[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
I am contemplating if we used VirtualBox and setup an installation then install flash, chromium, etc. After make it an bootable image and replace it with the image Zedomax provided if it would work?
[Nexus One Android Development] Lou2serious:
That would be awesome!!:D
[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
Im wondering if thats how Zedomax got the image in the first place.
[Nexus One Android Development] abc27:
Well i've a Desire and the kernel has issues with loopback devices so I can't test this out properly but i've compiled an .img file that should (Theoretically) boot up Maemo 5 rather than ubuntu. I haven't gotten a chance to test it out properly thanks to the kernel on my Desire but if anyone's willing...

http://www.multiupload.com/CO5NRRKN80

I renamed the .img to to ubuntu.img so it's a simple overwrite with no editing of the scripts.
[Nexus One Android Development] oc3rulz:
anyone get this working on CM 6.0 RC1?

I recently just switched back to CM and now I get the loop/device busy error.....anyone figure out what we need to change in "bootubuntu" file?
[Nexus One Android Development] Lou2serious:
Did you try running the installer script again before you typed bootubuntu?!
[Nexus One Android Development] -RioT-:
apt-get

ok... I got this installed no problem. But for the love of god, I can’t do an "apt-get update". It fails to fetch. It fails when I do an install for the vnc package as well but it does tell me the file size and how many other packages I have to overwrite. Is there an alternate repo?

Does this require a data plan? I am connected via wifi and I made sure I even have an open "unfirewalled" connection.

Do I need to install my wifi card, or will ubuntu see it?

Do I have to delete my Ethernet connections and reboot? If so, how?
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
EDIT: I reverted back to an MCR version of Froyo (eViL ROM) and I got it to work. There seems to be problems with CM6 RC1.

EDIT: Everything was going well getting vnc going, I entered 12312312 password but for some reason I couldn't install vnc viewer. I ended up rebooting, getting vnc viewer installed. I went through the whole process again but this time it did not prompt me for a password after doing geometry 1024x800. Not sure what is going on.

Also, what address do you use in vnc viewer?
[Nexus One Android Development] rac2030:
It just ask you the first time, after this you have to delete the config file vnc server created.

HINT: ~/.vnc
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
Hey, thanks for the response. What the hint pointing me to the location of the config file or telling me what address to use in vnc. After my original post I saw in the video that address should be localhost.

Should the original password I used the first time still be valid or do I have to go back and delete the config file to start over?

I'm up to localhost:6 now. Should I type that into address in vnc viewer now instead?
[Nexus One Android Development] b3y0ndd34th:
Now while I do NOT have a Nexus 1 phone I was using your forums for help in trying to get Ubuntu to boot on my Droid, we at droidforums.net have made a project out of this the past two days and a LOT of us seem to be having the same issue as you. However, it seems that the error is in the apps2sd function, if you have applications stored on your SDcard move them back to the phone ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] b3y0ndd34th:
you shouldn't ever even HAVE to put in an address, but if you're going to anyway you can use "localhost" as for the log file deal when it says "Log file is /root/.vnc/localhost:6.log" all that means is instead of using 5901 for the port number you would use 5906. when the localhost:x.log is created x depicts the number (added to 5900) that you will use for the port number.

Nickname: Ubuntu

Password: (should be the same as you set up earlier)

Address: localhost

Port: 5906

Color format: 24 bit

is the information you would use to connect to localhost:6.log if you are using the Android VNC Viewer application.
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
Nice, thanks so much.

I'm getting the grey screen with the x for the mouse cursor, but I think I heard someone mention this a few pages back. Let's see if there was any hints for that.

The solution for the grey screen was to reboot. I tried that but I'm still just getting the grey screen and x for the cursor. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] Keegan_P:
Be patient, it might take a while to get the distro booted up.

[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
@Irishrally heres a huge hint. This will make sure you get Ubuntu GNOME and also a correctly mapped keyboard. This is guarenteed to work.

Through Terminal or ADB do the below

then reboot and cross fingers

I hope this hint helped you.
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
Thank you. I'll try when I get home. Do I need to wipe all the files and start over before trying this?
[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
Your welcome. No you do not have to wipe all files and startover. the CAT command will output a new xstartup file which will replace the previous one.
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
Victory. Thanks again. This is sweet.
[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
So I take it that it worked? Awesome if it did.
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
Yes, working well. Thanks again for the help and to the OP for the files and tutorial. This is really cool.

[Nexus One Android Development] wornbat:
Yes it is quite awesome having Ubuntu on my Phone now I just have to get some more space as it has run out of the 2GB. might have to remake the img file bigger
