Don't need them. Get the latest HTC Sync and install the My HTC driver and adb will work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpavey:
Thanks for such a quick reply btdag!

Really? That would certainly make things a lot easier, however dreamersipaq does make a point of reinforcing how important it is not to have HTC Sync installed in his instructions:

[...]

[...]

Does this not matter after all?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
To get adb working I just installed the latest HTC Sync and drivers and then added ;C:\Path\To\SDK\Tools to my Windows Environment Variables as described in this guide:

no problems with adb since
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberWalrus:
As an alternative, if you install "droid explorer" it will automatically download and install the right drivers for you. Plus its a great app. Google it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpavey:
Thanks for all the help.

I'm pleased to say I've now managed to install the update, and my phone is now ringing! :)

In the end I worked out that I did not in fact need ADB at all. Since the phone had already been rooted and had a custom ROM installed, it dawned on me that it must already have the requisite recovery image installed. And indeed it did. So all I had to do was install Titanium Backup, back up my apps and settings, also take a nandroid backup just to be on the safe side, and then factory reset/wipe and install the update. (And then restore apps and settings using Titanium Backup.) Problem solved!

As an aside, I think there is certainly scope for more 'newbie' documentation. (Or would this be on the Wiki, currently down?) I'm certainly very grateful to those who have taken the trouble to set out what they have learnt already, for the benefit of others. For example though, even after spending several hours searching and reading up all the newbie guides I could find, I still had to read between the lines quite a lot to work out what a 'radio' was, what purpose the recovery image serves, how ADB fits into the whole picture, why there are multiple custom ROMs available for the same version of Android and how to choose one, etc. Perhaps one day I will be advanced enough to attempt that myself! ;)

Thank you very much! I was reading this trying to get my G1 to work and it did. Windows 7 x64 won't allow me to install the android_winusb.inf driver but droid explorer did.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e2neralife:
Phone nor computer will recognize adb/usb

First of all, my is rooted but somehow the superuser.apk file is missing. When trying to activate wifi tethering it asks if the device is rooted. The answer is, yes! I can boot into recovery mode but I do not have a way to get the superuser to open without adb. Can anyone help me?

Unable to Instal ADB Drivers

I'm having similar issues trying to root my MyTouch 4G. I've been following steps on the cyanogen wiki website for this device, which refers you to their site's instructions for setting up SDK & ADB drivers.

I've downloaded the SDK zip file, extracted to the C drive and made sure file paths are all the same as per the instructions. When following the instructions under Windows, I've added to variable values ;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (and double checked these folders on C drive to be sure they're accurate).

When trying to manually update device drivers for ADB, I select the file android_winusb.inf and get error: "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."

My device has USB debugging enabled and is in mass storage mode (I've read on other forums that this can fix).

Not really sure what else to try? Any way I can change the .inf file to make Windows recognize it? Running Windows Vista 64.

So here is my question ? I've searched all over the place and can't find anything like the Audio Manager for Android . You can set different volume levels for Alarm , Music , Alerts , Voice Call , Notifications , and Ringer . Is there anything like this for WM ? I have a TP2 and this would be ubber useful to me . Anybody know of anything like this ? Below is a screen shot I found online of what I'm talking about . Thanks .

So psx4droid is finally out, how is it working for you? I have rooted htc evo using newest fresh rom and custom god mode kernal with 60fps hack and espon 003 screen. I have tried three games and they start up then fail miserably...can the evo cut it for psx? Anyone having better luck? What settings ,rom, kernal, phone, and screen?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Because this thread wasn't 5 threads from the top.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sly_guy069:
Must have missed it, been googling it all morning for evo users and found nothing.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
Very frustrating that the market doesn't allow me to buy it b/c it's stuck on authorizing. I purchased it through SlideMe and now I can't find the app and don't know where it went. So annoying I hope it doesn't charge me for it again .
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cb7tuner93:
Download it on a good 3G area not through wi-fi that's what did it for me.

Now my problem is the Roms aren't working!:confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] michaelvibe:
Not to mean to hijack your thread, but what is this 60 fps kernal you wrote about? I can't seem to find it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
I love this emulator. It runs PSX games fast on my phone for sure. I have Worms Armageddon working perfectly. Tried running Theme Hospital and Madden 03 and 05 but neither worked. They get stuck at the EA Sports screen. Anyone know of any options to get it working or is it probably just a compatibility issue with that rom? I would assume compatibility but never know.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hydralisk:
It runs SOME games fast. FF7 for sure. Chrono Cross is... like... kinda okay. Most games I've tried are unplayable either due to speed, sound, or aren't compatible with the emulator.

****. The one game I expected to run well is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It's a side-scroller and it runs slower than FF7 :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sprockethead:
Yeah, what kernel are you referring to? Are you talking about netarchy-toastmod 3.7.5? That is the latest to my knowledge, and 60fps is a bit of a reach.

Or am I missing a bona-fide 60fps kernel for epson screens?

Anyone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
CyanogenMod has no FPS limit.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drbgotenks:
I have been playing FFVII on it (it runs well). Does anyone know how psx4droid will handle the disc switch?

I ripped the 3 discs seperately (into bin and cue).

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sprockethead:
I get your point, but cyanogenmod must have a limit.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sly_guy069:
yeah toasts but i have been switching back and forth through both cr1 as well trying all the games but some of the eboots have built in fps checker and have at some points been hitting 60 fps up to 64 on both if im lucky and close all apps first and this thread was lost because http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=735234 was up like 3 minutes before my thread i think so i have just been using that one for psx info and on disk switching just do the save in the game on the disk like not slot save but psx memory card save and then load other disk in emulator and use the save

I've tried both Barnacle and Android wifi tether, but neither seem to work with my iPad. Has anyone found a way to get either application working?
[Vibrant General] romanonly:
Tethering is not yet functional on this phone. It apparently is going to require a customized kernel.
[Vibrant General] dabezt1:
Barnacle with the correct settings works for the most part on my ipad on 3g speeds. But still not able to get youtube or netflix.
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
So what settings are you using? I was only able to get non-3g.
[Vibrant General] Astitious:
Use channel 6 and make sure Skip wpa_supplicant is checked. Works mostly fine for my iPad. Can't really stream anything but I get decent page downloads and can do e-mail.

Alright, thanks for replying. I'm still having trouble with Barnacle, so I think I'll try the legacy version.

No version of Barnacle is working for me after updating today.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
Hi,

Since I've updated to 2.1 that I've been noticing that user interfaces with tabs are not looking so good as they used to.

I don't know if this is just me or everyone using 2.1 ROMs... I want to understand if this is a problem in my ROM (and all other 2.1 ROMs I've tested) or if it's a general problem and if anyone knows of a fix cause they look bad compared to the previous ones.

Here's a screenshot from Cupcake 1.5:

Here's a screenshot from Eclair 2.1:

You can clearly see that there's a problem in the separator between the tabs and the rest of the content and also on the tabs labels text color, which is barely readable...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
No one else notices this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
I noticed, but I didn't know if they looked better on the old Sense...

But yeah, again, except for the fact that we now have the 2.1 backend, the update really sucked. I don't like the glossy icons with lense flair effect (uagh, that ugly blue guitar player icon in the music player), random crashes (well, sense restarts to be accurate), UI glitches when switching between landscape and portrait mode.

You'd think with over half a year's time and countless delays they should be able to give us some proper software, that at least on the surface looks good.

Have you ever checked adb logcat while sense is running? Oh the plethora of error messages coming form that software...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Sense sucks, really annoying that we had to wait so long for the official 2.1 rom when all I wanted was a clean 2.1 without any of htc's junk. CMH rules period
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
This really bothered me and I'm the process of fixing the framework graphics...

I'm really close to fixing the graphics, so far so good and everything's working. I'm just not sure where can I change the color of the text labels in the tabs... Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, just found it, I'll post a topic with the a patch in the dev section when I'm finished with this. I'll just a little more thing to try to fix before that...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Andyt95:
I know that you have found a patch, but is there a chance you are using basic-Sense ROMs? If you use a full-Sense ROM you should not have this problem...?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
I have no idea what you mean by basic/full Sense ROMs...

I'm using my own cooked ROM based on the official RUU and I didn't do any changes for this to happen. But just to make sure, I installed a clean ROM without any changes but root and the problem was still there.

The things I changed for this to look better cannot happen on their own, so I don't understand how can this be a problem for some and not everyone (if that's indeed the case).

Not sure if it helps, but I had problems installing i9000 drivers until I installed Kies. Kies installed all the drivers perfectly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodue:
you have to restart the adb daemon as root, eg:

sudo ./adb kill-server

sudo ./adb start-server

edit: just read that you are using windows ... so run the command without he "sudo" but under the admin-user ...

Hi,

today i did an hard reset to the phone,i removed the sd card, i booted on the recovery menu with volup+home+power, then i did chose the factory settings/hard reset option (coz i wanted to clear the phonebook), then after that the clear cache one. When i started the phone it had all my contact list on the phone, with email info, etc etc... i think the sim card can't store mails, just numbers, so how can the android have the numbers and full names after a factory reset? (no sync since i haven't configured that yet, was just after restarting).

Sorry for being a bit noobish but i came from a touch pro 2, don't know android very well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xefe:
hmm okay i checked and the hard reset havent cleared the internal SD (i was talking about the external SD on the last post), cleared internal SD, but still after hard reset the contacts remain.

Ok, so now i tried:

- Hard Reset

- Format Internal SD

- Clear Cache

- Remove SIM card and microSD

and still the problem remains, it keeps my contact list dont know where, but after hard reset it still remains after booting, it says the contacts are stored on phone.

P.S.: Ok solved.... seems the recovery hard reset does not clear contact data, it was only cleared after i went to the phone settings and cleared it there, the recovery console didn't worked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jovalleau:
...I can't seem to find a straightforward answer to any of this. I've got a TP2 from Sprint that has the gray-ish interface with the orange "trim" or highlights or whatever you would call it.

I've been wanting to change the theme on my phone for a while, but finding a simple solution is worse than finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Everything seems overly complicated JUST to change how things look. With basic WinMo it's extremely easy, but manila/TF3D? Not so much.

After scouring the interwebs, I finally found a way to get rid of the bottom curtain over the tabs, change the clock to a white flip clock, and have the backgrounds on all tabs. I essentially just want to change the Sprint color scheme to that of the stock black/white from HTC.

I've looked at programs like Chainfire's CFC GUI editor, but I can't even figure out how to get started, aside from connecting through Activesync. I'm not a complete n00b when it comes to themes on WinMo or HTC phones, but TF3D seems elusive at best. I feel like I'm so close, but yet so far away! Is there anyone out there that can help a fellow TP2er out? PLEASE!?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jovalleau:
Here are some pics that might shed some light on what I'm trying to accmplish. Notice the orage part of the tabs, and the "grey out" when sliding between tabs. I want change the former and get rid of the latter (which I've found on this forum, but I can't figure out how to do it). Also, the gray parts of the interface I wanted to change to black.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jovalleau:
here is the link where I found out about removing the gray out when sliding:

I don't know what to do with the zip file in the thread. It says replace the original manila one with this one, but I don't know how to do that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
procedures

You just have to have a lot of spare time on your hands to create themes. You need a png editor to create images and size them. You will need to place the images in the exact locations that they are in the manila files. Chainfires program is the easiest manila editor to use hands down.

You will need total commander to move files from your storage card to the windows file. http://tcce.s3.amazonaws.com/tcmdpocketarm.exe

Best practice is to first disable htc sense before putting in your alterred manila files.

start

settings

today

items

uncheck htc sense

after installing the manila files recheck the htc sense.

You need to know what kind of manila you are using

start

settings

system

device information.

1.Find a slider theme on XDA that matches your manila

2. download it to your desktop

3. Use the cab2oem to extract the cab

4. use chainfire to extract the images

6. Change the images to what you want

7. Use chainfire to put the images back into the manila files

8. Place the new slider folder in your storage card through active sync

9. disable htc sense

9. Use total commander to transfer the files to your windows folder

10. enable htc sense

Or if you find a slider you like with a cab just install it and your done

The basics of chainfire from osrix

1) either extract or put clock files into a folder

2) inside that folder create a new folder called PNGs

3) open CFC Gui and select the folder with the clock files in..it will then read the manila files and show them on the right hand side as images, this will allow you to get top know which file codes relate to which images -essential!

4) in the tools dropdown of CFC select Export to Pngs, now point it to the pngs folder you created and let it do the rest. it will let you know when its done.

5) you now have Png images to work with in PS!

6) the most important thing when editing the images is to make sure the new image is exactly in the same position as the original on the canvas, I do this by making the original image layer slightly transparent so that i can switch it on and off to check the position of the new one, and when i am done either just turn it off or delete that layer before saving.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jovalleau:
Thanks for the help. I'm getting there, but I can't find ANY sliders for Manila/TF3D 2.1 (which I'm using), that have the stock Rhodium colors. I've been searching all day. Everything seems to be for Sense 2.5 :( And it's not just the sliders. It's themes in general. I just can't find anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jovalleau:
So I actually managed to find a theme for TF3D 2.1, which pretty much does what I'm looking for (it even turns 'All Programs' into four columns!) However, I still have the ugly orange Sprint color for the highlighted tabs. Is there something more to getting rid of this than changing the icons?

Okay I think the time has come for everyone to spill their guts about what apps you have installed on your phone with a brief description of what it is. I guess since this was my idea, I'll go first.

BarTor-Program that tells your computer at home to download torrents. Can use barcodes to find the material and send theinstructions to a pc.

Better Terminal Emulator

Chrome to Phone-Send whatever page you are at on your computer to your phone so you can continue to view the page when you walk away from the computer

EasyTether-Works much better and much easier that PDAnet in my opinion.

Last.FM-Good internet radio. Make your own stations.

Google Maps

MP3 Downloader-search and download mp3's to your phone

Opera Mini-Not beta anymore!(can select as default)

Pandora-another internet radio

Parcels-track packages(ups, usps, etc...)

Ringdroid-crop and edit mp3's on your sd card to use as ringtones.

Root Explorer-can edit r/o files.

Scanner-Police Scanner

Shopsavvy-I tried this for regular barcodes but can't get it to work, help?

SlideIT Keyboard demo-works pretty good.

TuneWiki-displays lyrics to songs you listen to off sd card.

XDA-Stay up to date with the xda forums.
