[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I'm not a developer but this is what I THINK:

1- Before you can use a rom you've created you must first run it through a program that signs it. Your phone will not recognize an unsigned rom and may brick it.

2-I've created nandroids but never had to use one, so IDK.

3- Do it in recovery or through adb commands (usually only if your having problems flashing in recovery or you're a developer).

...hope this helps and someone please correct me if I've mistated anything.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
....duplicate post. Sry.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
1.if i unpack some rom and change file...say i replace camera with some new camera files....then repack..will it install?

You need to sign it with a signing program. You also should zipalign any of the apk's you've added.

2.if i nandroid back up and post file here will everyone be able to use it or its only for my serial......will ppl have my phone number? i understand thy would get all my contacts and stuff

yes... but your google account would be on there too and all of your numbers and personal information. I don't suggest doing this...

3.i wipe..then i install a rom...so i have it running

ppl on forum say flash...some specific file...do i do it in recovery or do i just unzip it to root?

I don't know what you're asking.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwade01:
Yes, do it in recovery as you would a ROM. No wiping.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddiri40:
Hi,

How can I add more language and locale to froyo with sense?

Froyo with sense roms(like DJ Droid) have not all languages that vanilla roms have.

For instance, Vanilla froyo roms have Turkish language. But froyo roms with sense don't have Turkish language. I think, I can add Turkish language, but I don't know where to look...

Morelocale solution is not a real solution. Froyo keyboards have multilanguage option, but there isn't the language that you've selected with morelocale in the language list of the keyboard.

I think I should edit HTC_IME.apk, but I don't know where to and what to look?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] sandrinopi:
Hello all.

Each time I have to switch between ActiveSync and Disk drive (to gain more speed in file tranfers) I have to go to

Settings / All settings / Connections / USB to PC.

Is there any way to have USB to PC as shortcut ?

I am currently using a Manila 2.5 ROM that has also Cookie's HT installed (Energy ROM).

Many thanks

S
[HD2 General] p107r0:
on the bottom right of the "USB to PC" settings screen (the one you mentioned),

there should be a tick box described in fashion similar to "ask for connection type first"

(sorry for imprecise wording, I have non-english ROM),

when checked, after connecting Leo to USB you should see "Connect to PC" screen giving you choice of USB or ActiveSync each time
[HD2 General] sandrinopi:
This is a vergy good alternative the the shortcut; I've always had the tick box under my eyes but never cosidered do use it that way.

I usually un-checked it to get rid of that function, but now I see it's very useful.

Many thanks
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if you want to make a quicklink to it, see the "control panel items" link in my sig.
[HD2 General] p107r0:
on similar note - is there any way to programatically change the connection mode from USB to ActiveSync or vice-versa, without the actual unplugging the device?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
when you change the option it should disconnect and reconnect itself you shouldn't need to touch the cable.

​
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Easiest way to do it...

Go to Settings / All settings / Connections then longpress on the USB To PC icon then select "move to top" it will then be in your start menue where you can now add it to you desktop shortcuts.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
mightn't work on the OPs custom rom, cos move to top only exists in wm 6.5, not 6.5.x
[HD2 General] p107r0:
thanks, that was quick and easy,

but then I could not assign the shortcut to homescreen quicklinks (neither delete it from start menu),

so I followed samsamuel's advice (thanks too),

and after short fight with icons,

here comes the ready-made link, should anybody need one

I don't know why, but when I try to take macro pictures a certain distance, I hold the camera button halfway so the focus is made, I then see the picture getting real clear and suddenly a pop from clear to blurry, and it tells me the focus is done, anyone else experienced this? I mean, at a bigger distance I'm able to take the picture correctly, but if I'm a little close this happens, and since during the focus I do see the picture crystal clear for half a sec it should work I guess..?

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

I noticed that every time I press the Home button on my HD2 the 'usual' clock appears in the notification bar only to be hidden within a second and replaced with the battery icon. This is very annoying as it causes a slight lag between the time the clock appears and then disappears. I don't know if this is only happening to me but is there a way to stop this. I cooked my own ROM but, as far as I know, I haven't changed anything that affects this.

Has anyone else experienced this? and is there a solution for this?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Best bet is to just reflash the ROM. Or, you can extract the file out of the ROM zip and copy it to the correct location using Root Explorer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
If the apk was in the System/app folder, you cant just install it. You need to push it to the system app folder with Root Explorer, then set permissions, then reboot, then install, then reboot again.

Hey all i de-odexed the LGHome application and it installs normally, but it force closes when you switch to it. The Gt540 rom is 1.6 and im running CM5 8 anybody wanna try to get this working?

WHY would you even want it?

Heres a bigger question, why couldnt you keep that kind of ****e to yourself, i took the effort to de-odex the apk and upload it incase there was someone like my self who might like the look and want it on their g1, if you dont want it GTF of my thread

I assumed it was an issue with the application and > 1.6 roms as it didnt work o 2.2 or 2.1 . i have de-odexed the entire set of apks from the dump now and ill upload them so if theres any dependencies in there then it shouldnt be too hard to find them, are there any other folders from the dump you might want? heres whats in it.

app

bin

etc

framework

lib

thanks very much for your help , ill give it a look now. For people who have never used the LGHome application it actually very smooth and runs very well on low end devices (Eg the LG gt540) so i thought people might find it useful as no one seems to have done it yet. cheers

[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
I don't have anything concrete to substantiate this yet, but it appears that text messages sent from my rooted EVO will, on occasion, show up a gibberish when viewed by the recipient.

Both my mother and sister have BlackBerry phones, and they have each received one or two text messages from me during the past three weeks that arrive as a nonsensical string of letters, numbers and symbols. My girlfriend has a feature phone and hasn't noticed anything, and neither have any of my other friends who have iPhones or Android phones. My mother and sister are the only two people I text who have a BlackBerry, but I don't believe the issue is on their end. Yes, BlackBerry phones are antiquated, etc., but I'm the only person they know with the EVO, and a rooted EVO at that. Neither have received text messages in gibberish from anyone else.

I unrooted my phone for a week and just rooted it again last night using unrevoked3, and this morning my mom said one of my text messages came though in gibberish. My sister told me the same thing three weeks ago when I initially rooted my phone. What are the odds that a rooted EVO sends text messages in gibberish only to BlackBerry phones, and only on occasion? Has anyone else experienced this?

Posted from my mobile. Please excuse the brevity of the post, as well as any spelling or grammatical errors, if any.
[EVO 4G General] ortizdupri:
I've never heard of this and never had this issue. Been running Fresh roms since rooting (about a day after release...), texting people with iPhones, Android, Blackberries, and even old flip phones and what not. Not a single person has reported to me that they couldn't read my text.
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
I likewise have never heard of this. It also doesn't make sense at all. What Rom are you using?
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
I am using the stock rooted ROM. Nothing special and no apps have been removed.

I just forwarded this post to a friend of mine, and he responded with the following: "Back when I was running Android on my WinMo phone, a few of the very early builds would send txt gibberish to my wife. She had a Blackberry."
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
over 1200 txts last month, all from my rooted EVO. Not ONCE did anyone tell me it came thru jibberish. Sounds to me like you have a unique problem. However, I did not use unrevoked to root my phone. I used toastcfh's method. Perhaps this is a problem resulting from unrevoked3 as it doesnt occur on mine. Also, I have 2 evos rooted same way now, no jibberish txts.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
You may be right that it is related to the root method. The first time I rooted, however, I used Toast's method.

Also, it's not like this happens every time I send them a text message. It has happened two or three times over a one-month period.
[EVO 4G General] luisrcastillo:
I too have seen that in the past. My best friend has a BlackBerry and occasionally he would see gibberish on my text messages. At that time, I was rooted using a custom ROM (Fresh Evo). Right now, I am rooted using the stock ROM and we have sent texts and it seems everything is fine.

Also, I that was before the latest OTA update. Who knows if HTC fixed and never said anything..
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Ah, see, I'm not alone.

I'm now using the stock rooted version of 1.47 and it happened this morning.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Please vote in the poll. It's the first thing most people see when the open the thread, and I am clearly not the only individual who has been confronted with this issue.
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
Perhaps it's not a phone issue at all. Maybe it's on Sprint's side of things.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Perhaps you are correct. I didn't even consider that. All phones involved are Sprint phones.
[EVO 4G General] xxbabiboi228xx:
I think it has to do with the ****ty ass rim blackburries
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:

[EVO 4G General] tigereyeslalo:
Are you using special characters on your text messages? This happens to me when I send a Spanish text message due to Sprint CDMA system not being able to recognize characters other then the English language... or so I have been explained by them.
[EVO 4G General] jajones7747:
I had this happen ONCE on my EVO before I even rooted. I think it's on sprints side
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
No. I am using Swype, however.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Interesting. I think we are on to something.

Please vote in the poll :)
[EVO 4G General] Jykinturah:
A sample of what it looks like would be nice. Do you still have access to the gibberish message?

Maybe I will run into it at some period. My parents both use Blackberries.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Sure. I just asked them both if they could forward the message to me.

EDIT

Here is a sample, highlighted in bold: hanks e me a minute ing it in a message to me? 5

Here is the message I actually sent: Thanks, I will.

Somehow, "Thanks, I will" turned into "hanks e me a minute ing it in a message to me? 5".
[EVO 4G General] luisrcastillo:
I think Swype is the culprit. When I send a text message using swype on the evo to a BlackBerry, they get gibberish. When I use the normal keyboard it works fine
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Does it happen every time you use Swype to send them a text message?
[EVO 4G General] luisrcastillo:
It is intermittent but has never happened when I sent messages using the IME keyboard
[EVO 4G General] frankenstein\:
I've been rooted since day one. Never used unrevoked as it's too limited for my interests. I prefer full root with nand unlocked...

Having said as much, I haven't had a single garbled sms msg report from anyone.

Keep in mind I'm an anti sms msg kind of guy though. I'd prefer to talk to you than text with you. It just takes significantly less time and effort to dial 7 numbers and say what I want to say than it does to type out some extended msg and wait for a reply.

I do send the occasional sms to my brother though who is addicted to it and he is a blackberry user. Not one problem between us. This totals 5 or 6 sms msgs a week max though. No sms conversations...

On a side note, this is probably the wrong forum for this conversation... It's more of a General or Q&A kind of thing that it is Development related. I don't want to play forum cop or anything and I'm not trying to flame anybody. Just saying, don't be surprised if this gets moved out of here...
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
I agree that it has definitely turned into that.

Originally, however, I suspected that the issue was related to being rooted as the issue has only occurred while I am rooted.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
It has only happened three times for me, apparently.
[EVO 4G General] xmellyx:
I actually had the same issue sending a couple text messages to my gf from my rooted evo.

[EVO 4G General] gatolsf:
+1 this happened to me as well. If the word you send in the sms has an accent the message will not be shown correct.
[EVO 4G General] Droga:
Sorry to bump this, but this has happened to me from time to time, and every time it has happened the culprit seems to be the Spanish accents. I am using SwiftKey beta and it happened to me just now. My recipient received my text message with a bunch of question marks on it. I think I will stick to using no accents for now to see if it happens again or not.
[General Questions and Answers] jlito:
Hi.. I've been searching around for a tool to edit or create the windows themes (tsk files) but I can't seem to find one anywhere (I did find one, but its not compatible with 6.5 - themegence).

Anybody knows of one we can use for 6.5 themes? Or knows of a way we can edit existing ones at least?

The main purpose would be to try to change a little one of the themes I use in order to solve a conflict it generates when using certain applications. Its the black theme (the stock one found in Omnia2, with the stock 6.5 rom). This theme has black backgrounds and when Im using communicator mobile I cannot see the text I typed after I send it bc it uses a black font as well. When Im typing I can see the letters, the replies I get from the others are also visible. This also happened with another app I used in one of its screens. I believe that its just a matter of changing the color of a specific text or background to solve the problem..

Any information/help will be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tundra84:
Hi guys, I'm thinking about buying the Samsung Vibrant (That's the US Tmobile version of the Galaxy S for clarification) and I noticed that it can play 720P and it has a WVGA screen. These days, a lot of phones are capable of technically "playing" 720P video but none, even including the almighty retina display, have hd capable screens. But I was just wondering, besides being able to play its own recordings, what is the point of watching HD videos on a screen that really can only play 450P (keeping to true wide screen aspect ratio of course)? It just uses more battery and system resources to decode the higher res video when the end result is identical. Watching 720P on a WVGA screen is tantamount to hooking up a Bluray player to a non-HD screen. What's the point? :confused:

And yes, I'm well aware of the phone's DLNA capabilities.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
Beats re-encoding right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navmanyeah:
I think because the screen is so small and the resolution is high, it gives you the illusion of watching something in HD. If you compare a DVD rip to a 720p video on Galaxy, you'll definitely notice a difference. And the Super AMOLED screen helps too :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tundra84:
Yeah, I can see how it's more convenient to just throw it on there raw but it seems like I'd rather take the effort to make it a lower resolution to save space on the phone if it looks the same either way?

And is there really that noticeable of a difference? I'd love it if someone could show a comparison picture between the same scene of a video in 720p and 480p on the galaxy screen to see if it's significant. Also, it might be possible that android is using sub-pixel interpolation to emulate the higher resolution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin.B:
Well the screen is a tiny bit wider than the 720 pixels you get from a DVD. Better to downsize than upsize, especially on such a sharp screen! I find that when watching DVD quality videos on a laptop, you notice the artefacts and low quality less than on the phone.
