[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Yourrid:
Well guys, I have to say I am turning to the "dark side" and switching over to an android after having my TP2 for just under a year. I bought my TP2 the day it came out for Verizon, but after disappointment after disappointment with this phone, I have to get rid of it. Windows mobile is absolutely terrible, especially when it comes down to apps, games and overall performance.... I cant find a single good free app for windows mobile like I can for android so its time to move on. It was a fun run, but its time to say goodbye to the brick and say hello to the Droid X.

Thanks for everyone's help over the past few months! Hopefully I'll see some of you guys over on the Android forum!
[Desire General] Digital_Apoc:
Hi Guys,

I took my desire with me on a weekend hiking trip last week (climbed Hellvellyn) where I got caught in a haevy down pour. When I got back to camp and took my phone out of my pocket, it was wet and the touch screen was not very responsive, though the phone did seem to be working somewhat.

I wiped it dry, took the battery out decided to let it dry over night but when I switched it on the next morning it booted up, but could not load the HTC Sense components and was not vey resposive.

So I took the battery out again and when I got home let it dry on a dry, warm surface (namingly top of my router). Turning it on the next morning I got nothing but 'htc' bootup logo and it would not bootup into the OS at all. Tried a hard reset (power on whilst holding vol down for a while), but I do not seem to get the reset options come up at all, just the 'HTC' logo.

Can I do anything to try and reset the s/w or is is a back to Retailer job. My main reservation against sending it back is, as I had become so dependent on it, it'll so hard to make do without for a few weeks.

Also would you say I should make a warrenty claim or an insurance one (the latter has £50 access :( )?
[Desire General] cgrec92:
if you take the battery out, you can see about 2 or 3 white stickers

if they have become exposed to water damage they become pink meaning your phone has been water damaged meaning that your htc warranty is void.

hopefully your warranty covers water damage.

connect your phone to your computer

open cmd/terminal

cd to your adb/tools folder

type: adb reboot recovery

your phone will auto reboot into recovery

if this does not work theres not much you can do, the hardware is damaged.
[Desire General] vickys_3:
hi cgrec92

I am facing same problem with my desire S.

i am hoping to try your procedure of reboot recovery. Please elaborate which is the adb/tools folder for this case. i cannot find it.

Please help....

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sl8125:
I was wondering if there is someone or somewheres you can puchase the Samsung Galaxy S which has a UMTS/3g 850/900/1900/2100 and unlocked.

I currently run on AT&T in the US and want to get rid of the US version of SGS and get a unlock/quad band version of this phone. I seen couple online stating that its Quad Band 3G/HSDPA. I wasn't sure if this model was out. I know its a Quad band GSM. I seen alot of tri-band but i run on ATT which runs HSDPA 850 so Tri-Band model will not work.

If someone has any info, please let me know. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the international verison (i9000) runs UMTS/3.5G on 1900/2100 in america, since the 900 band is currently not in use by America

the i9000 doesn't have the 850 band, only the local AT&T, Bell, whatever is local to you have the 850 band, but they are all locked
[General Questions and Answers] Bonehead Fraggle:
I use this great transparent manila slider and I really like the slim frame around the active icon - however the background is not transparent, which I would like.

Unfortunately I don't remember who made this, but all credits to him anyway.

Pic 1: The slider looks great when there is a black background.

Pic 2: The slider background is not transparent.

I'd really like this slider with 50% and 100% transparent background. Any one can help?

Kind regards,

Greetings,

sorry to post again, but it seems that i posted in a wrong place (htc hd2 forum), because this post adress a wm software development.

So, this is the problem : I'm stuck with my old BK600 (com one, but omiz and freedom kb rebranded)

There are new keyboard (expensive), news driver (not working), future drivers (never going to be released), so as i'm a software developper, i wasn't really glad to abandon and to buy another. The problem is that've never made a driver for windows mobile, and i'm not specialized on bluetooth, so be indulgent...

After searching internet and seeing some articles, i've been on broadcom site (they're doin' the bt stack, so it's normal to go on their site ... guess what ...

i've downloaded the bluetooth stack sdk)

As i develop under linux, but also under windows, i've a visual studio 2008 installed. I compiled the Spp (probably serial port) sample, and without any driver the keyboard paired, negociated a serial port and the monitor show byte received when typing on the keyboard.

So now, if someone know some place to find tutorials to write windows phone driver, i take.

I also would like to discuss about another approch.

What would you think to transcode the keyboard code received in a thread and to redirect them on standard input ? would it be possible ?

Anyway, my needs are very simple, just a bluetooth kb to type on it, no extra functions, ...

Regards, and thanks you for your answers and help.

CLS.

It is stated that it also supports bluetooth keyboards and mouses.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] clearscreen:
HI radhoo,

they seems to have a problem to release the software (5-6 month they say they're going to), but nothing

on this page : http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinput&tab=download

you click on this link http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputbroadcom

as you see on the xda-forums

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=628538&page=2

we are a lot to wait for this software, but nothing.

that's why i'm trying to do a little piece of software (which i'll consolide after i think)

I'm taking the base of the broadcom/widcom stack, and my approach will be to transcode chars to stdin.

It seems that there is a C# wrapper, so it think that i'll recode in c#

anyway,

thanks for answering and long life to xda-dev (very useful)

Ludovic.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] clearscreen:
work status

- have found a c# wrapper of widcom dll (recompiled) : works bu ti'm rewritting some part of the wrapper as it seems to lacks some feature

- in parallel : working on c++ legacy broadcom sample (works perfectly now with my keyboard, bind with com port done, receiving "things"

now struggling with threads to pump messages and transcode.

[Desire General] amir84:
i just buy and Desire aprantly is from T MOBILE in london (the logo boots up)

i bught it from a person...

and way i need it to support the hebrew languge for writing and reading.

still not sure how i do that? anybody can give me a great guide? link? so it would be easy for me.. and how to put hebrew fonts on it?

p.s. if i root the phone will i be able to get officale update to froyo from HTC? or ill be need to root it myself?

thanks !
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
If you root your desire, you can choose which ROM you want, but you wont get OTA updates from HTC, you will only get those if you have an official ROM.

Some ROM support Hebrew, some dont, best to read each rom sections or ask the question in each.
[Desire General] Spook77:
is the process reversible?

meaning, Froyo already has hebrew fonts.

when the official froyo for desire comes out, can a device be "unrooted" in order to get it OTA?

or alternatively, install the official froyo rom and get the OTA updates from that point on?
[Desire General] landwomble:
Once you've installed a 3rd party ROM you won't get HTC OTA updates. But then again, you won't need them as your 3rd party ROM will get software and radio updates way before HTC release them anyway! I've not seen any 3rd party ROMs that support updating OTA but it's no big deal. The gains you get from upgrading to a community ROM are a much bigger deal. I'm running the Neophyte Froyo ROM and it's awesome. Don't know if it supports your specific language requirements though.

How can I remove default apps? I bought my Galaxy S from TMN carrier in Portugal and there are some apps that they instaled that i want to remove but I don't have the option. How can I do it? some of them consume memory as they run all the time...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] odyssey61:
You need to root your phone which has been made very simple. Check here for details.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728754

Then install Root Explorer and go to system/apps and there you can remove them. Some names of the apps dont appear as the app name we see so for that you can use Titanium Backup to see the app name as it is in the file system.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alijones:
Will that void my warranty? Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
My understanding is that you can always re-flash your firmware to get rid of the rooting and restore back the deleted application. The problem is whether you can get the firmware for your phone or not. I'm not sure if Samsung would still honor the warranty if they see that my phone's firmware isn't the one Optus had customized. But good question you have though. I'm not sure flashing a leaked firmware would void the warranty. I hope not, because I can't get the original firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alijones:
Yeah, still these default apps are consuming resourses and I don't need them.

Will think on what you send me. Thanks ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] duke911:
Hi everybody. I will explain the process here, it is fairly easy :D

Here is what you’re going to need:

1.Fonts/Language support: this is the most important part. I took the required files for Arabic support from this site

http://code.google.com/p/arabicandroid/downloads/list

all credit goes to Mr. alsanad for his great code

Persian and Hebrew seem to work fine with the font I'm using right now, but I can read both, so I can't say it's 100% working.

Persian: you may want to play with it a little, maybe add newer fonts later by yourself.

Hebrew: when I search Google I found only fonts for Android 1.5. however if you find the fonts, the process should be the same

anyway, the Arabic font package I am using right now apparently can display Hebrew characters...

2.7-Zip or any program that can create “tar” files

Please note that the fonts you get in most of the cases are made for HTC android devices in mind, not for WM devices. And they require recovery mode and other stuff (I can’t explain a lot because I don’t own Android device). So we’re going to convert the file, and make it suitable for our devices.

Steps:

1.Get the fonts file and extract the content to whatever place you like

In the case of Arabic, you should see two folders:

META-INF
System

2.Select the folders, and right click on them, them choose 7-Zip > Add to Archive

3.Make sure you choose archive formate as “tar”

4.Name the file “androidupdate” and save

5.Copy the file to you SD card: put in andboot folder

6.Installing the update: I quote this from “How to replace Windows Mobile with Android”

7.Choose install update: you will see then some lines and then word Installing.

8.When finished, choose quite, or soft rest.

9.You’re done ;)

Make sure you choose the right font for your Android. Apparently each version of android requires some modifications.

You might want to add some specific keyboard. I recommend Smart Keyboard... it is super fast, very accurate, and has support for different languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew.

I tried these steps on Kaiser running VaniljEclair RLS7c with the latest kernel.

I know this guide is basically unpacking, renaming, then installing... But it might be a little hard for some people..And I hope it will help them.

Make sure you back up you date or whatever important information you have on your phone and SD card before you start.

I have uploaded the files I used for my device. these fonts are meant for android 2.1

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Duke that has got to be the best timed guide I've ever seen, just finished making up a hebrew fonts update for shar1r, lol

Excellent guide, this deserves a sticky, since it is a question that has been asked before, and will be again :)

I usually edit an existing androidupdate.tar using 7zip, but this method is more complete, ( my method is mostly a lazy hack ;) ).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shar1r:
Awesome!! I just posted a question about this - and voila this great tutorial!

Thank you!!

-sorry for the long speech lol-

i appreciate ur help

and one more thing

i searched for rls7c but i couldn't find it cuz it always reach for the rls11

thank u again

peace..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
If the guide isn't working for you then you can always try a multi language build. I know both Scoot and I keep our multi language Cyanogen 6.1 based builds updated. You might want to look towards those.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Link in 1st post doesn't seem to be working for me either.

Yet i think you should change the title of the thread, something like:

How to add YOUR language to a build

Also:

Avoid return key, learn to use space. For a moment i thought i was reading a poem...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] duke911:
the coder apparently switched from Google code. here is the new website

http://ardoid.com/

I would recommend using generic Froyo libs as they might work. I don't have my TyTN II anymore... all my testings are on HD2.

http://ardoid.com/?p=64

most of the mutlilang builds will have native support for Arabic/Persian fonts, however, they won't look connected.

you migh need to use "libskia.so" and/or "libwebcore.so" only in this case.

Adding language support is trail and error, so give yourself plenty of time before trying this out.

I am using the libs for the Desire HD on my HD2 and they work perfectly fine.

And yeah, you can try a program called Tor www.torproject.org or Hotspot Shield www.hotspotshield.com to change your IP address.

what is the actual procedure what options do i select cuz theres no option to update radio the only option is to flash rom by selecting zip file

Boot into recovery ( Vol Down + Power ), select recovery. Then select flash zip from sd card. Select the Radio .zip that you will have on your microSD card, and that's it.
