[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabbieBot:
I have three apps for this sort of thing:

The previously suggested "Wheres My Droid". If you lose your phone, you can send an SMS to it with a custom phrase that will turn on the sound to ring for up to 5 minutes.

Lookout Mobile. A combo of GPS location, antivirus and contact/picture backup. You can log in through the website to locate.

Mobile Security. The best, IMO. Log into the website and it will locate the phone with options to lock, send a text, send a sound alarm. Key feature: If you are rooted, you can flash the app to your system of your phone, which means it won't appear in your app drawer and can't be uninstalled...its invisible unless a thief has the expertise to pull it off the phone with ADB. Was able to successfully pinpoint the address the phone is currently at.

In conjunction with these, you might want to download 'Protector'. This is basically an app that password protects certain apps/functions to your liking. I use it to require access to the market (so apps like lookout cant be uninstalled), system apps (like astro or estrongs...same idea) and sensitive $ data like Mint.com and Paypal apps.

I like redundancy on issues like this so thats why I have all three apps going. Also, always leave your GPS on. There is no battery drain issue unless an app is actually utilizing it, and that will be obvious because the GPS logo will appear in the notification bar next to the 3g/CDMA/Power icons.

You can make your phone pretty useless to anyone who isn't you by using the above ideas.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:
Pintail is always the first app i install, just text Locate and a pin number and it will send you the address of where its at. Coordinates would be nicer though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zonyl:
Wow they must have changed that policy then. I had lost a treo 600 back in the day and they told me it needed to activate it with a code sent to the handset. Good to know they changed that and I apologize for being inaccurate.

Family locator works on phones without gps by using tower triangulation. But as you see it isn't all that accurate.

Good luck!

* I use ' tasker' to listen for sms and it will send sms back with location and ip. I can then ssh into phone and do various things there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zonyl:
Just another thought. If you have a bluetooth headset you could wander around there and see where it connects. 10 meters?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan330:
sorry to hear of your misfortune.

yes.. only way to work.. is to have an app that helps you loaded before you loose it.

Half mile radius, sounds like tower triangulation to me. NOT GPS.

This is a warning to all.. spend a little time to find an app you like to do this ASAP. you will feel better.

there are few in the Market. I use Wavesecure.

these apps use Text messages to activate functions on your phone. Can give you a lot of control over the phone.

1. Checkout Craigslist or Ebay to see if your phone is listed.

2. If you can not find it online. Then tell sprint it is lost.. so it will be turned off so they can not use it or sell it.

3. I hope you have insurance that covers loss.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan330:
that is a good idea.. but battery on evo will not last long...it might be dead by now or very soon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudewithnofood:
Seriously, drop everything and invest into some sort of software and set it up properly so you won't be in a ****ty situation like this. Now I gotta go hunting on ebay/craigslist and drop another $400... FML.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekphiv:
another $400? This is why people should buy insurance. at the most it is $100.

FYI depending on how long you have had the line open, you can still add insurance to the phone within 30 days I believe. Most likely wont help you but you never know.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
just bought it. i think it just came out today. went in the application and clicked on "download rom" downloaded silent hill. 8 parts and there in rar format and 40mb each :O but when i click on "PSX bios file" it wont let me load the rar. doesnt even show it. it says "you must specify a bios file(normally named scph1001.bin)" i have no clue what to do. any idea????? thanks :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westicle:
Find a bios file online and set that as the bios in the emulator and u should be good to go. Try freeroms.com or just google psx bios. Be careful tho lots of bad files out there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
Yeah, just google scph1001.bin and when it asks for the BIOS, load it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
hey thanks guys for your help. i got it to work. tomatosoup was having the same problem. i loaded up the bios then hit menu and loaded up the iso and it didnt work, just quickly exited out. so i hit home and killed the app with a task killer and loaded the app back up and instead of clicking on the bios i clicked on the iso and it loaded right up. took a sec but it loaded.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westicle:
Right on man let us know how it works for you. I hope its good cuz I may purchase it myself.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomatosoup:
Still not working for me but I'm using eaturcat so idk if it will work for me anytime soon
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
It actually runs like crap. Way too laggy. I'd wait for an update
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westicle:
awesome thats what i was afraid of. thanks for the heads up.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
tomatosoup said that on froyo willeaturcat, finalfantasy9 runs pretty well. he said its not that laggy
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westicle:
Hmm ff7 on my phone sounds almost too good to pass up...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
Our processors/graphics aren't even close to the playstations, I doubt it would run well, even on the Evo.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
well some of the evo users said that setting the fps to 30 made it run the same if not better than the ps1. my buddy had the moto droid and it runs just as goos as the ps1
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
yeah but its like 2gigs lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugu2.0:
is there a possibilty to purchase the app from the developers website or so? I have no credit card and therefor can't download it from the market.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFX3D:
yeah, but you can have one disc at a time. (700 mb.)

Im also very interessted in get this working!!

Ive downloaded psx4droid and put in final fantasy 7, and its running badly. Sound lag, game lag...

Does it get better if i choose another custom rom? How do i get my phone to play this good with HTC Legend???

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
Evo's processor is a bit faster than ours ;) (even with ours oc'd :eek: )

I don't know what graphics setup it has, but I'm guessing it is better as well.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
i was just commenting on what you said earlier lol i can confirm that FF( and silent hill run pretty well on froyo
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcharlesiv:
I'm loading Darch's newest FroYo ROM just to try this out... I don't even want to waste my time trying it w/ Sense. I'll report back once I load up FF7!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big-O-Devil:
Q... does the psx4droid work good on the htc hero... :confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
some games run decent, FF9 and silent hill run great. but others run like crap. mainly racing games. but i heard that alot of people are having problems with lagginess and sound is messed up. so hopefully an update will improve this for the hero. hope that helps :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcharlesiv:
Where'd you download FF9 from?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
*Link Removed*
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcharlesiv:
It's a .rar file... What do I do after I download it? I can't get the emulator to recognize it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
You're gonna want to remove that, downloading copyrighted video games is illegal, and XDA doesn't support it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jccurtis88:
Has anyone gotten this working well yet? If so, what is your set up?

I had it running FFT and Hot Shots decently...a little laggy but playable at 3/4 speed with FreshToast custom Kernel O/C'd to 710 mhz. I wanted to try an AOSP ROM out so that I wouldn't have Sense draining my memory during play.

However, I cannot get this app to work with CM6, DD2.7 or any ROM other than Toast. Every time that I load a game, it goes to a black screen and right back to the rom select screen. I've tried several Custom ROMs, and PSX BIOS's.

Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomatosoup:
You need to change a setting in /system/build.prop that says something jri from 1 to 0, it's near the bottom

To be more user friendly here:

adb remount

adb pull /system/build.prop C:/build.prop

Go open build.prop in Notepad

Press Ctrl-F and type in jri, press enter

on the line it brings you to change the 1 to a 0

save

then adb push C:/build.prop /system/build.prop
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duffkitty:
I wonder if sdcard speed is a factor. You are running a compressed image from flash memory so a slow card would make a slow game. Fft was a little to laggy but almost playable and I have a class 2

Sent from my CDMA Hero running CM6 using the XDA application.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
I just want to know about two games, ff7 and xenogears. Lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jccurtis88:
I tried this today. Pulled build.prop but couldn't find jri anywhere in the file.

Edit: I pulled the build.prop again and found the line as jni. Changing the setting from 1 to 0 and a reboot fixed the problem.

The line should read: ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0

On a side note this was with CM6.0.0; and my previous build was jaybob413's extremely vanilla and I don't think it contained the same setting option.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsbtx:
Here's what I did, and it runs FF7 without any audio or video lag for me.

Stock ROM (surprised this worked on stock as well as it did for a game as intensive as FF7), so those running custom ROMs should have it run just as smooth.

Load your emulator, and there are two settings to change, do not set the video to "scale" the video, set it to 2x and set the Frame Rate to 30, not a single hiccup. I'm playing it now. Need to find a decent game pad I can carry around so I can play it like it was intended. ;)

Setting it to Scale automatically makes this games audio hiccup like crazy even at forced 30 frame rate. The big change was the switch to 2x instead of forced Scale (leaving it on Original also made it hiccup too, wonder if it's a syncing error, because the video is smooth as can be, the audio stutters like crazy though)

Hope this helps.

I just started Xenogears downloading and will try to post in about 30 when it's done if I haven't passed out.

This is on an EVO, by the way. I don't think a Hero will ever have the horsepower needed to run it flawlessly with out some major changes, and most likely the Dev making the app more efficient.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Uh, I can't even get nesoid or snesoid to be playable my Hero OC'ed... All games I run lag like mad as soon as I hold a control on the virtual keypad. And obviously you need to be holding a direction on the virtual keypad to play a game...

tsbtx I tried applying your settings to nesoid and snesoid it didn't make it run any better :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big-O-Devil:
Yeah "cooler" I tried it all and I can't get anything.... I think the hero can't run it.... unless something is made just for the hero...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Well, we must be doing something wrong if others can get FF9 and Silent Hill for the playstation working when we can't even get NES or SNES right! :confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big-O-Devil:
I agree???but what do they have that we don't????
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
nesoid and snesoid run perfect on my hero. no lag or anything. just psx4droid has lag. FF9 and silent hill are bareable on froyo.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Care to post your settings for nesoid/snesoid? As well as your ROM, CPU settings, and whatever else you think is relevant to performance? Preferably reply to this thread please http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753675
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jccurtis88:
Then why would you post your results on a Hero forum? Just rubbing it in?

NESoid and SNESoid run almost flawlessly on my Hero. They run well on every ROM I've tried. I just make sure that I don't have anything running in the background before I start. Be sure to disable transparency and sound if you don't need them.

ROMs with OC are just icing on the cake for the game speed, fast-forward and transparency functions.

Hello,

How to navigate to a certain contact in the address book? I have searched the web and didn't find anything. I have Navigon 7.4.1 on a HD2 with PocketInformant and Manila. If I choose Outlook Contacts there is only the address book coming up. No Option like "Navigate to" in the Menu. What can I do? How do you do it if you want to navigate to someone in the address book?

Metuschelach
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Metuschelach:
Does anybody know a solution?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Where does your 7.4.1 come from - Fresh gives me still a "7.4.0 is the most recent version". I'm using the PDA-version.

Are you maybe using PNA version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ET:
7.4.3 build 793 is the latest version (not official, modified PNA version) and has been for a long period. Waiting for an updated version still.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
PNA-version and PDA-version haven't anything to do with eachother... 100% different software.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Metuschelach:
I'm using the PDA Version. And I was wrong It's Version 7.4 and I haven't found a solution yet for my problem. Please help me.

Navigon

Hi!

I don't know the exact english strings on the buttons, because I have a german navigon, but I try to translate...

Tab on "My targets"

Tab on "Imported adresses"

Long tab on the Adress you want to navigate to

scroll down in the context menu - the last entry is

"navigate to" e.g. Private adress

that's it

Regards

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] thunder141:
Navigate to

i also have the official 7.4.0, but I have no option to navigate to a contact.

what could be wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] esociarius:
Hi!

Maybe there are errors in the adress. Especially too much blanks in the city-field make the context-menue for this contact disapear. It took a long time for me to find this, because the blanks cannot be seen in Outlook.

Hope this helps

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedpenguin:
I have an icon that looks like an SD card with a little cog wheel next to it. Its on the status bar on the top left of the screen.

I though this was normal, until I saw my friends one that didn't have one.

My icon comes and goes, but I can't confirm why it appears or how to turn it off?

It displays under notifications, but if i select it it does nothing, and I can't clear it.

Any Ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Could be something to do with the way your SD card is mounted.

Try checking if it is mounted correctly in Settings > SD & phone storage.

I have seen the same icon appearing but only when either starting up Sense UI or changing the sync option.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedpenguin:
I figured the same, so I checked it unmounted , rebooted, remounted. Same issue.

I have changed ROM also, Same issue.

Im using A transcend Class 6 SD card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Heh... same card as mine ;)

Suppose you have tried a different SD card then?

I would suggest you try re-formatting the card again as FAT32 (backup SD card contents first ofc).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedpenguin:
ALready tried it. reformated card twice, same issue.

I have tested with another card and get the same notification.

It doesn't bother me, I was just curious.

Cheers

tested now with ervius visual kichen.

works. hope y'all enjoy this batch file...

please leave a "thanks" if you like and use it.

thanks

wow this tool is awesome, its amazing how a simple batch file created by notepad can do so much functionality..

gonna use this right now :)

thanks..
[Windows Mobile] HD2Owner:
my opinion:

many xda-chef's would use it if they would know about it's existence..

please help me to keep this thread alive so all chefs can see it better...

tell your favorite chefs to take a look at this thread. thanks.

Wow, the time this is going to save me! (^^,) I haven't used it yet but I'm pretty sure I will. Thanks bro!
[Windows Mobile] HD2Owner:
enjoy......
[Windows Mobile] af974:
I didnt try it yet but sounds like a very life saver tool, got one week sticky for let other chefs to check it.

Thanks for sharing.

@ mods: i will take care of unsticky it @ 04 August.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
I'm sorry but I've read the intro 3 times and still don't know what it does. :o
[Windows Mobile] af974:
As i said ,i didnt try it yet but for what i understood it updates packages in your EXT folder,example:

You have a 2.14 Leo Kitchen and you want update only NEW EXT packages from 3.04.
[Windows Mobile] HD2Owner:
feel free to test it. no harm done.

source and destination folders stay untouched.

only the (not exact name match - packets that aren't already in the destination kitchen) packets you don't delete from the pop-up list will be copied to the destination kitchen ext folder (_NewPackages subfolder).
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
I will give it a shot when I'm back from holiday mate.

Thanks for sharing with us. ;)
[Windows Mobile] kurniawan77:
wauw!!! works great man!!! perfect! now the only thing is we need to automate copying lang files from an other folder... hihi
[Windows Mobile] seeM_ZA:
You mean for SYS?
[Windows Mobile] HD2Owner:
i guess he means lang folders for ext-packages since this tool has nothing to do with sys.

it's possible but it would require a more advanced detection logic.
[Windows Mobile] kurniawan77:
Nah... not that much work...
[Windows Mobile] Captain_Throwback:
Unfortunately, my kitchen is setup in a way that would prevent this from working, but this seems like a great idea.

Thanks for sharing! :)
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
This is all nice and cool.. but what happened to porting your packages MANUALLY and actually looking at them before you put them in your kitchen ? You can't tell me this is how you cook a ROM... you run this batch file and blindly move over "newer" packages to your kitchen ? Wow... I believe packages need to be looked over and brought it one by one to insure compatibility first.
[Windows Mobile] HD2Owner:
you are right... that's why the tool moves the new ext folders into a sub-folder (_NewPackages).

cooks still need to add compatible lang sub-folders and maybe adjust some keys in the rgu's.

this batch-file is only around a week old. so it's basically new.

the main reason for it's existence is to remove the manual package comparison wich is very time-consuming (detection of already present packages).

of course cooks need to check the new ext like they would need to do when updating them manually.

in my personal kitchen i adjust the ext folder names as following:

Album_3_2_19203733_0_leo_1.66

Album_3_2_20132625_0_leo_2.13

Album_3_2_20161229_00_leo_3.04

Album_3_2_20171628_00_huashan_0.90

this way i always know where the ext's in my kitchen are coming from.

the batch file detection still works when adjusting the end of the folder names.

for example:

source kitchen-Album_3_2_19203733_0

destination kitchen-Album_3_2_19203733_0_leo_1.66

the album folder will still be ignored even after you changed the folder name of the already imported package to Album_3_2_19203733_0_leo_1.66.

just don't change/rename the blue part (original package name)
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
That's cool I guess... but it still seems like a lot to do, for such a simple operation as replacing a package with a newer one. I personally use beyond compare. It's a MUST have tool for chefs. It's great once you get to know how to use it.
[Windows Mobile] HD2Owner:
i bought beyondcompare too. it's a must have for chef's if you ask me too.. :)

lot to do?? did you actually try the batch-file??? :)

-adjust the 2 paths in the batch

-remove the lines you dont want to import (from the pop-up txt file - save and close to continue)

-adjust packages (insert lang subfolders and rename packages in the pop up temp folder)

-press any key (dos window) to move adjusted packages from temp folder to sub-folder "_NewPackages" in destination kitchen

for me, this batch is a real time-saver........ :)

and i dont even have to use beyondcompare for this specific task anymore..

btw:

i will try to adjust the batch to show a pop-up of the destination-kitchen too when the temp folder is showing (so you dont have to open it manually to pick lang folders).
