Now that I have my HD2, I don't see how this is possible.

Because--I don't see any Today listing in Settings on the HD2. (I know of that Today screen setting from the regular Windows Mobile settings. But Sense has its own settings, and does not include anything about Today Screens.

How can I get to that setting?????
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
You are right, Sense has it's own settings...which is the wrong place to look heh. You have to go through the way I listed. Start->SETTINGS(not Manilla Settings)->Today->Then the "Items" tab, then follow my directions. Now, depending on what version of the stock ROM you are running, the regular WM settings icon may not be available under the Start menu, but you can also get there by scrolling over to settings through Sense, then hit the right softkey and press "All Settings" to get to the same place.

EDIT-I may not have understood your post exactly right. You might not see the "Today" settings under settings on the stock ROM. You will need to apply a CAB that enables hidden settings to be shown, but I do not remember what this CAB is called, nor where I got it. All I remember is that it came from the "Apps and Themes" subforum of the Leo section.
[HD2 General] me:
Thanks again, Ashosaur.

I finally found that Today setting, after I found that "All Settings" Button, and I disabled the "Sense" today screen.

Only after doing that, and rebooting afterwards was I able to run Sprite Backup. It will install, but apparently not run at all, with Sense.

Even after doing that, removing the Sense today item, it is still not completely like Windows Mobile. Other settings are missing, for instance--the text size, color, and fonts, cleartype tuner, etc.

And you don't get a regular Windows Mobile Start Menu, but still that crazy Sense one.

Any way to get completely back like Win Mo?

I haven't completely given up on Sense either. Some nice things about it. Very buggy though. I've had to reset several times. As said, Sprite Backup, the industry leader in mobile backup software, newest version, would not start at all with Sense!

HTC should get its act together and fix the bugs!
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
The Start menu will always look like that. It's not Sense, it's WM 6.5. As far as I know its the only Start menu type available for 6.5.
[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
You might try looking at a new ROM. Read through the tutorial in the forum your phone belongs to (T-MoUS or Euro) and it will tell you everything you need to know. Try a Miri ROM or an Energy ROM. Both work very smooth and much faster than stock. Stock ROM the phone came with is known to be slow and buggy. You shouldnt have to disable sense to install Sprite. Thats just an issue with your stock ROM. GL!
[HD2 General] Gary.M:
I'm using a T-Mobile HD2 with stock ROM. Its not proving buggy or problematic in any way. And I haven't had any crashes with Sense. BTW with sense to get at all settings you swipe right to get the Sense settings tab, tap the menu item at bottom right, and choose all settings.

I think BSB tweaks can also turn on the standard Win Mobile settings menu. Perhaps other aspects as well.
[HD2 General] me:
First of all, thanks a lot for the recommendation about CHT. The thread about that app really should be a sticky on this forum. It really is a must-have.

I disagree with your first sentence above, at least from what I have seen so far.

I didn't find Sense (without CHT) very customizable at all. Quite the contrary.

But adding CHT makes all the difference. Thanks for the recommendation.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I think what he means is that sense is able to be highly customized via tweaks and tools such as CHT and others...to be made to look and behave in ways that no other mobile UI could match. However, one that does come close to being as versatile is SPB Mobile Shell. It's a paid app with a free trial you can check out...some users consider it the only real alternative to Sense.

Can I update my radios to

Radio 2.15.00.07.28

and

Wimax26023

while on stock 2.1 without the 1.47 OTA installed?

I'm "rooted" with Unrevoked

I downloaded and ready to boot into Recovery and try it but figured I'd ask before I break something. thanks guys
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
sure you can do that, if something breaks just restore the old radio and wimax. Reports are that that combo works fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
I have done both on 1.47. Works fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knlmwq:
How exactly do you update wimax radio on your phone? I have the file Wimax26023 and I am rooted. I just down know what to do now
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackte4:
Can I update to it unrooted? I'm using 3.26
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Flash it though recovery like a ROM, and let it do its thing.
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I flashed my desire with the new HTC ROM from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741663

As usual with stock ROMs there are issues with the market.

Like in this example apps not showing up in the search.

I came up with a fix for this issue.

It takes you 5 minutes if you have the proper environment.

I edited the build.prop found in the ota22.zip and modified it to fit my needs.

The original build.prop

My modifications:

Here's how to fix this:

You'll have to know your way around with the dev tools and the command adb.

If you don't, use the forum search tool and teach yourself - then come back.

- use adb to pull off the 'build.prop' file from the /system/ directory on your htc desire

- edit the 'build.prop' as proposed by me

- do a 'adb reboot recovery'

- fire up ClockworkMod

- go into the partitions menu and mount /system

- use adb to push your modified build.prop into /system/ on your device

- back out of ClockworkMod and reboot

- enjoy the black market ;)

I used the build.prop from Adam's HTC Sense 1.0c ROM to figure out which setting to use.

I'm to lazy to make a signed update.zip for that.

I know others will do it sooner or later ;)

take care

EDIT:

Here's the update.zip I previously was too lazy to cook. :)
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Google should fix this in a few days now HTC's Froyo's ID is public.

In the mean time, cool :)
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I hope it will will take them only a few days and not like it took them with eclair.

There is still no possibility to get 'Google Earth' from the market without modifying the build.prop.
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Google Earth is listing as available for me.
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
on the eclair?
[Desire Android Development] la0tzu:
can you not use titanium backups market fix?
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Ah, no sorry misread.
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
- the 'fix market links' function is available in the paid version only.

- this funktion fixes only broken links to the market apps
[Desire Android Development] markuz85:
Flashable .zip anyone? :)

I'm not too fond of adb.
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I'm working on it...
[Desire Android Development] -=cappo=-:
Open the .zip under /system and extract the build.prop.

Now change the entrys as above an overwrite the original in the .zip.

Flash the .zip and you are good to go.

All the zipping and unzipping was done with windows, no other tools needed.

mfg

Josch
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I've got the update.zip baked.

get it from my first post
[Desire Android Development] duskom:
@androidophile,

I've done what you suggested with the fix. How can I actually check if this is working?
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I tested it with apps from a complain from an user in another post.

It was the applications 'Air Attack' and 'National Rail'.
[Desire Android Development] RagnaKaos:
Hi,

I'd just like to point out that it seems that Google has already activated the new Desire key, so this is not actually necessary.

I can see Google Earth and paid apps, so this fix is no longer required. (At least that's what I've found, confirmation from someone else would be nice!)

Edit: unless it's a different problem of course, then just disregard me :)
[Desire Android Development] Sherwood W:
I flashed the zip and I still can't get certain apps for example ultimatejuice and doodle jump

Any ideas
[Desire Android Development] ComboCraft:
Here i baked it myself (the other link is down):

Its not signed!
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I just checked these two apps and both show up in my market search.

I flashed my phone with the zip too.

could you do some troubleshooting for me?

use a file explorer and navigate to /system/ and check if the build.prop was modified, by opening the file as text.

you should see these changes:
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
jep. I posted the wrong link.

the right one is in my first post.

your update.zip doesn't contain the neccessary script nor is it signed.

check out my patch on how it's build.
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I'd appreciate it if you could check if you can search for these two apps here:

ultimatejuice and doodle jump

TIA
[Desire Android Development] Sherwood W:
It didn't seem to make any changes =/

Is that because it didn't flash properly or is the zip not right?
[Desire Android Development] ComboCraft:
i needed no script, i just patched it.. and it worked
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I guess I took the cannon to shoot down little birds ;)
[Desire Android Development] ComboCraft:
maybe... hmm.. i will do a little test.. stand by
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
um.. interesting...

Which version of ClockworkMod do you use?

Here's how I did it:

to figure out if it works I put a modified build.prop in my system and then applied the fix and then checked again.

I use ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1

maybe you should try the solution posted from ComboCraft in this thread.

you have to enable your ClockworkMod to use unsigned zip files I guess.

haven't tried that before, so I don't know if it'll work.
[Desire Android Development] ComboCraft:
nope, my one doesn´t worked the second time... thats really strange! will add your script and retry!
[Desire Android Development] duskom:
I'be tried both, first manualy, than wit the zip file, and I still cannot see ultimatejuice or GoogleEarth

,
[Desire Android Development] ComboCraft:
Nor yours, nor mine is working...

Tried both.. maybe an error in the script?
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I've got an idea...

could you pls mount the /system partition with ClockworkMod first and then apply the patch?
[Desire Android Development] Sherwood W:
got it working in the end I did it manually, should of done it from the beginning but I'd never used adb much

this link is good if you've never used it like me

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB

anyway thanks for the help and the solution
[Desire Android Development] ComboCraft:
testing in this very moment

Rebooting..

Worked!

But i don´t know if there is an connection to mounting /system! ^^
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I posted a new version of the fix.

I forgot to mount /system in my script first... figures!
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I got it fixed now.

Anyway I'm glad you've got it!
[Desire Android Development] ComboCraft:
And what was it?
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
I forgot to mount /system in my script.

while testing the patch my /system was mounted with the ClockworkMod and I didn't recognize the flaw of the script.

But now I can lean back and kick some butts in AoC :)
[Desire Android Development] ComboCraft:
Have fun ^^
[Desire Android Development] wgery:
How can i do this on eclair(2.1) ROM(modaco custom) (that i can see the non-free apps in the market?
[Desire Android Development] dominiaz:
I`m living in Poland and we don`t have access to paid market at all on any android versions. Does that fix could help me to install paid apps?
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
Do you use the official 2.2 HTC rooted ROM released today?

If so, give it a try.

The script lets market think your device is a nexus one from within US.

everything else won't be changed.
[Desire Android Development] dominiaz:
OK, i`ll try.
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
basically you could use the settings I proposed.

but don't use the patch.

this patch contains settings for 2.2 devices which would overwrite all your settings and you could end up with some serious issues.

the adb way would be safe for you.

all its changed is the appearance of your phone to the market.

in the worst case you'll end where you started.

please do a nonadroid backup from within the ClockworkMod before proceeding.

You'll safe yourself a lot of trouble and time if something goes wrong.
[Desire Android Development] dominiaz:
How to check if paid market is working fine?
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
well that's easy...

can you see and purchase 'on the level 4'?
[Desire Android Development] dominiaz:
Everything works fine with paid-apps after install MarketAccess :)
[Desire Android Development] gav28:
So to recap, to apply your fix, all I need do is use the ClockWorkMod Recovery option and take the option to flash from zip file, selecting your zip? I have a rooted 2.2 Desire.
[Desire Android Development] Django76:
That's right and it works.
[Desire Android Development] fallos:
not wirking for me... =(
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
does this fix creates the green camera issue ??? cause i read that the camera issue is caused due to the build.prop setting the device as a nexus instead of a desire
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
nope.

the one thing is using the build.prop from a nexus and the another to look for the market as it is a nexus.

the build.prop you'll get here is the same as you'll find in htc desire froyo devices, but the change of hiding your phones identity to the market.
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
could you please describe your environment?

which ROM, etc...

Please give me some more details so I can help you.
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
i am getting bootloop when applied the values to my build.prop i am using the ota2.2 rooted etc

edit: i applied the signed zip but nothing happens...i cannot see the paid apps
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
try deleting the market cache.

Your error descriptions point to a not wiped phone prior flashing ota22.

A friend of mine had similar issues.

He wiped the phone, but after double checking this it came out that in fact nothing has been wiped. Then he updated the clockworkmod and I suggested him to use the wipe/factory reset function from the clockworkmod instead of the built in one. this solved his issue.
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
i deleted everything....tried again and again....i even baked a rom with this build.prop but nothing!!! i cannot see the paid apps except when using market enabler
[Desire Android Development] IceBone:
This doesn't work for me either, on an HTC Desire with rooted 2.2. :(
[Desire Android Development] Kickasskev:
I applied the zip and worked fine i think can get doodle jump etc, only thing im confused about is that when i turned my phone in i recieved an email straight away from android telling my about my NEXUS 1 ?????? lol i'm using a Desire and dont have a nexus 1.
[Desire General] taylor162:
Hi

Im having trouble connecting the internet over 3g. Im on o2 and using Defrost (although the same happened on opendesire). When i type in *#*#4636#*#* under phone information is says GPRS disconnected.

I have entered many different APN's and have done repeated wipes, as well as reflashing new and old radios! Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? or anyone on o2 have the APN's that are working?
[Desire General] taylor162:
bump

Anyone?

A smart phone without internet kind of sucks!
[Desire General] doinbox:
I know this sounds silly but you've not disabled mobile network under settings/network have u?
[Desire General] taylor162:
ha no ive not. Ive been searching for ages and found nothing. Strange thing was when i wiped and installed Defrost on its own it worked, it was only when i restored all my apps that it stopped working, so it must just be an app which is causing it. No idea which one though :mad:
[Desire General] veeru27:
any luck with your issue , Am having the same issue and would love to know if the issues is solved.
[Desire General] My$tique:
I'm waiting for the solution too...

I was wondering what type of write speeds you guys with 32GB cards are getting on programs like H2testw.

I ask because I know the class designations aren't always 100% true.
[Nexus One Accessories] zok-star:
I got one recently. I get about 1.9mb-2mb write whilst copying over mp3s
[Nexus One Accessories] rashid11:
- when using the USB adapter that the card comes with, I get about 5MBps writes

This is the way to go when you need to copy large amts of data to the card - like initial syncing of music collection etc

- when copying stuff with the card inside of N1, I get 1.5-2MBps. I think N1 throttles the performance - may be on purpose, may to limitations of its USB implementation

- what kind throughput N1 sees _internally_ is anybody's guess, but I think it is good nuff for what we do with out phones.

- here in US of A, Verizon sells them for $100 (online only)

- I am sure in another 6m or so, we shall see Class 4/6 32GB cards but not sure if that will translate in any sort of observable improvements
[Nexus One Accessories] HumpDdumpD:
You could always use the app on the market "SD card speed tester" helps to get the internal write/ read speeds from your SD. I'm curious as well. Would love 32gb of storage for my nexus.

Create a new folder, move "Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_025_MFG.exe" to said folder and run it. If you downloaded the package when you run any of the self extracting archives they don't over write the RAPHIMG.nbh that's already there. If you are sure you have HSPL 25 flashed try from XP.

aldiko is better than kindle and adw launcher is better than launcherpro but besides that great list
[Android Apps and Games] Lolacaust:
Arcus Dictionary i think is better then Dictionary.com, it doesnt require a Data plan to do look ups and is very fast
[Android Apps and Games] Flash05:
launcherpro is ok, zeam is better imho.
[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
Having tried both, and several others (Zeam, Sweeter Home, and touchwiz) I stuck with Launcher Pro. Personal preference.
[Android Apps and Games] squire23:
True. Launchers are completely down to personnal preference

[Android Apps and Games] sfreemanoh:
Thanks for the list! I just got a notice from VZ that I'm eligible for an upgrade (over a year early, so I guess they're really trying to sell those already unavailable Droid X and Incredibles...), and I'm planning on getting a new Android phone to replace my HTC Touch Pro2. Now I'll have a list of a few apps to try out!
[Android Apps and Games] LudoGris:
Besides Dolphin browser, I would reccomend xscope. It is a free alternative to the regular browser and is pretty much just like Google chrome. Even set up to look like it. Not as much in the customization area as dolphin, buy definitely very easy to use, and most definitely faster.

I can't find Pandora Radio. Does it still exist?
[Android Apps and Games] jahnile:
Pandora radio is still on the market, if you can find it then use the link provided below to install it. You will need to use a barcode scanner app to scan the barcode. Once this is done it will take you directly to the app on the market and you'll be able to install it.

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/multimedia/pandora-radio_bcmb.html
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
I believe it's the other way around. LauncherPro is WAAAAY better. IMO
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
I agree, but Federico's work needs some work before its perfect.

Xiialive a lot better streaming music app than pandora, last.fm, or slacker. Pick from over 100 channels on shoutcast. So, less repetitive than the previous mentioned apps.
[Android Apps and Games] SiL3nTKiLL:
good list!
[Android Apps and Games] watzone69:
I like Gmote for streaming music from my home PC to my phone. You can do it over data connection (3g and 4g) or LAN. The only shortcoming is that it won't stream remotely via wifi, only LAN.

It also works as a remote control for your PC. Great for media servers!
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
If they can't find it on the market, another link to the market won't help. Could be Pandora is protected and their phone isn't showing protected (and likely paid) apps.
