[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
as of now, no.

but i do got an idea that came to me the other day to make it a faster boot into wm so it wont stay there long. if it actually works, i dont know since i still like wm and dont feel like trying it out.

ok, here is what i thought of.

1. Install "HD Tweak" (google it or search xda)

2. Launch HD Tweak and go to section 12. startup (i beileve its what is called) and disable the startup animation and sound. and then close the program, if it ask you to restart DONT.

3. Go to settings and disable HTC Sense (or what ever your running) and have nothing checked on the boxes so its just pretty much the background as your home.

4. Go to file explorer (or what ever you use) and then go to the andboot file (or what ever you have it under) and create a shortcut and put the shortcut into the \Windows\Startup file

5. Restart your phone and hope it works.

what might also help is if your have a fast ROM that starts up on boot and if possible do a hard reset and dont install nothing so it will keep a fast speed and maybe boot. then follow the steps mentioned above.

just remember that this is just an idea so i dont know if this would actually work or if anything would happen to your phone. if it does work and you want to use wm again then just take out your sd card so the shortcut to haret wont work and wm should continue from there.

So this is to boot Android without booting into WinMo??

Looks interesting.

Gotta work in a bit and really don't have time to experiment right now but I will try it out and see what happens. Could it make me a new paperweight by chance??

Edit: Just did it...waiting for boot....HTC screen.....kk..Booted into WinMo but with Haret running...idk..Here's some shots

If the shots arrnt clear enough I can explain em..lol

But yea...I followed the directions and got that..lol

I'm running the Energy rom..Theres like 5 things in my startup folder..should I take em all out and just leave Haret in?? And also, wouldn't Haret need a way to get directed to the kernel and stuff for droid?? Also..Was I supposed to add the Haret.exe file???? I looked for the andboot folder and I didn't add it to my sd card..All my files for droid were inside it and I just copied and pasted all of em out to my SD card.

This is interesting..Maybe we should start tinkering..lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
haha well you almost had the idea but you messed up. you werent supposed to copy the haret itself but where ever you have it located long click it and maybe in the normal file explorer it lets you create a shortcut (dont remember since i installed a cab called file explorer extension which gives it more options). with that short cut, move it over to the startup folder. and just in case make a copy of your startup.txt and rename the copy default.txt so if the start up ever ends up getting corrupted then you can just click on the run button.

but my theory shouldnt make your phone into a paperweight because all your really doing is just disabling your home to plain and adding a shortcut, nothing could make it a paperweight in general but haret still does have a verrrrryyyy little chance to make something go wrong which you should already know.

but my way doesnt kick wm out since it still needs to boot up to see the haret shortcut in the startup folder. just makes it quicker to boot into android on alot faster

Don't want winmo? Buy a driod phone. I don't think we will ever have sound on out Tilt2 with andriod.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
some of us tried nand boot on the tp2. You can read on ppcgeeks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zenulator:
It can and will be done ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
lot of changes to do to the kernel but yea.. it will be done.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zenulator:
If all goes well I should have one of these devices to test and hack on. Once I do I'll try my best to get android flashed to nand. How far is along is the android port for this phone? I'm getting the CDMA Sprint variant for very cheap.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
But only if Android is deemed useable enough for day to day use I guess. The main problem is that almost all the devs have moved to HD2 android development, so apart from the in call volume fix we haven't seen a new functionality for at least 3 months (GPS), and no major breakthrough for ages. The only ones actively developing for TP(2)/TD(2) are working on the new topaz board and getting it to run on the Xperia IMHO and some dudes that reefermatters is in contact with, although reef hasn't posted an update from them for 2 weeks now :(

I really hope android will run smoothly on the TP2, but honestly I think we will never get it to work properly :(

Let's hope for a miracle soon :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
you are preaching to the choir my friend. I'm one of the devs working on the tp2. Jonpry is still attacking sound and phh lending a hand as well. Fyi this is really nothing to do with android. All we do is kernel dev.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
Right now we are craping out during the usb init. So we will be testing a custom kernel soon. I'm reading up on the diamond boards since they seem to have gone over all of this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
I hope your right, I would REALLY like to run android full time :D

And if theres anything I can help with to get anything working, I would love to!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] WolfKaBaL:
Where could one take a look at the source for the kernel. I've been meaning to dive in and see if I could lend any assistance for a while. I figure I'm going to be stuck with the TP2 for a while (sprint user on sero, so no chance to get an evo) - so figure I should put some of my coding abilities to good use and give back some to those who've helped open my eyes to Android :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
go to htc-linux.org for the wiki.

The kernel is available

http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] WolfKaBaL:
Thanks, going to dive in tonight. Hopefully I can contribute something. Thanks again to all those responsible for the current state that Android is in on the TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
a lot of progress tonight. We are slowly choking winmo to death with each line of code added :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
[ACL] for President!!! :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
\o/

What would be the best place to look foor updates on whats being worked on apart to read all the IRC logs every day?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
PPCG for now. We have a thread there. I'll make a buzz once we see android come up. Right no its too early to celebrate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
We were able to boot into android.. there is still a lot of work to do, but now at least its up.. :-)

pop the bubbly !!!

Hey Guys,

I've find a perfect case for Dell Streak from a youtube video, does anyone knows where to buy it in US?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpI7ajkv7cU
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
Are you talking about the plastic case if so its called the

Dell Streak Form Fit Case and they sell it on Dells website £24.99

infact all 3 items on that video are on dells site :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] martywix:
Best thing I have found

The best I have found was one of the cheap eyeglasses case. The kind that is a pouch that the glasses slide in and out of. I got a black one that is lightly padded for less than $2.00 US. The measurments are 3 3/4" x 6 1/2". The outside is a nylon and durable and the inside has a soft material that cleans the glass when you slide it in and out. It slides in and out of my pocket perfectly! The best case i have found by far and the price!!!! Just wish I would have bought another!
[Streak 5 Accessories] yTUR31:
Hi,

Do you have any pictures and where did you buy it?

[Desire General] Havner:
If I set up HTC Twitter syncing I can link contacts to Twitter accounts. However there is no option in People's view settings to just show 'Twitter for HTC sync' accounts like it is for 'Facebook for HTC sync'.

I just would like to see latests updates for some contacts via the People application. Workaround would be to make empty contacts for every twitter contact and link them to, this way they'd show in people app, but that's hardly convenient.

Is it the same for you, or it's just me that got that broken? I find it hard to believe that HTC would leave such an inconsistency.
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
What ROM are you using??
[Desire General] Havner:
Official 2.2
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
Has this worked in the past?? (if you've had different Official ROMs/Cooked ROMs)
[Desire General] AndroHero:
dont matter i got the wrong end of the stick lol,
[Desire General] Havner:
Never had any cooked ROM. And I don't exactly remember if it worked on 2.1, I think it didn't. I just didn't use Twitter back then that much.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
when you go to people on the bottom of the screen there is a globe icon, click on that, on that page click on twitter, that will bring up all your twitter friends, click on the one that you want and then on the sync icon, that will show you all there tweets :)
[Desire General] Havner:
Yeah, I know that. It's not that this is a problem in any way to get to those Twitts. I just found it inconsistent that you can't merge them in main people's tab as easily as facebook f.e. Just thought that it might be me that got something broken.

Thanks.

Hi all!

Im looking for software that allows me to send sms messages on my pc. I have an HTC HD mini.

I tried "SMS control center" (smscontrolcenter.com/sms_pocketpc_home.aspx) but its a little to basic.

My previous phone was a Sony Ericsson and I used MyPhoneExplorer ("fjsoft.at/en/highlight.php") for synchronising contacts, files, text messages etc.. Great piece of software!

Now I'm looking for something similar but for Windows Mobile..

Anyone knows some software like this for Windows Mobile?

Thanks a lot!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyJPA:
I am after a bit of advice, I have numerous outlook contacts that are made up of maybe 4 or 5 words all starting with the first word the same, since syncing my contacts it appears the first and last word are the only ones that have synced, missing out all the words inbetween making it near impossible to know what each one is.

Has anyone any ideas on how to fix this issue

Any help greatly appreciated

[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
Right then, I think I've tried every single IM app for Android, and have been disappointed with every single one. Currently installed on my Desire are the following:

-Meebo

-eBuddy

-IM+

-Nimbuzz

-Fring

NONE of these apps are adequate. They have problems that make them an incredible pain in the ass to use, and are often unreliable.

Connectivity: Meebo, eBuddy, Nimbuzz and Fring are all notoriously unreliable in holding a connection. After a few hours, they just go offline - sometimes all accounts at once, sometimes one at a time. Sooner or later, I'm sitting in front of my laptop (I've created testing accounts on ICQ and MSN just so that I can see whether the Android apps can hold a connection reliably), and I see that all the accounts that are supposed to be connected via the Android app are offline.

IM+ on the other hand, while it does die every few hours like the other apps, resurrects itself and reconnects nearly every time, but has a horrible user interface, and costs an insulting 5€ - the software is nowhere near polished enough to warrant a price like that.

So, what's on the horizon? I'd really like something with a nice UI, no connection problems and, most importantly, reliability. Even if Android kills it due to low memory (something that happens constantly on devices with 256MB of RAM or less), it should restart itself, or keep itself in memory similar to Locale or Sipdroid.

Nimbuzz is probably going to release a new version soon, but will it solve the connection issues? I doubt it. Do you guys have any secret weapons on the IM front?
[Android Apps and Games] dadoc04:
i agree about our current choices....

hopefully Beejive and Trillian deliver... beejive is in beta i believe and trillian is working on it...
[Android Apps and Games] Col.Kernel:
Trillian has announced a beta for Android.

I'll have to look into Bejive.
[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
Any tips on getting into the respective betas?

I'm testing the new IM+ beta right now, but it's too buggy for everyday use :(
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Just making sure, if you're using an automatic task killer, you added your IM apps to the ignore list?
[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
No task killer, and there's always at least 100-200 MB of RAM free. Don't think I've ever had less than 100MB of RAM free on the Desire (Milestone was another story)...
[Android Apps and Games] cirious:
Searching on the net, i found the best rated where meebo/ebuddy/fring (in this order). Ive tried a little bit meebo but i cant say i was satisfied. Are the other two alike?
[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
Out of those three, Meebo wins hands-down, IMO.

The only usable IM client as of this moment is imo.im. Low power consumption (~5mA idle vs. ~40mA for eBuddy, Fring and so on), halfway reliable, and supports all.protocols including Skype (though chat only for the latter, of course).

Still needs to connect a little more reliably though.
[Android Apps and Games] cirious:
I'll give it a go then and see for myself, thx.

Oh btw, what app do u use to check power consumption? This kind of apps is a must
[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
Current Widget is what I use... not sure if it works on the SGS though.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Trillian is what I use, and it seems to stay online, and when it goes into "Suspend" mode it sends you an email to let you know to go online. Major problem I've had with it is that I don't like the additional battery usage, so I suspend it most of the time. And even though 7 days is an option I'm about 99% sure it only suspends for 1 day at most.
[Android Apps and Games] t-mon:
sounds interesting thanks, I might give it a try. I've been looking for a decent IM app with Skype chat support (I mainly use it to chat while on my phone anyways)
[Android Apps and Games] Gimpeh:
What are your impressions of it? Anything that sets it apart from the rest of the rubbish?
[Android Apps and Games] cirious:
I'm afraid I didnt spend much time on it and definitely can't do any comparison with the other 2 I mentioned, since I never had the chance to use them. However I noticed quick drain of battery and wasn't impressed overall with the layout and functions. Then again maybe the rest are worse.

What I did though, is to install imo.im (after several failed attempts from the android market) and so far it's alright. Works fine, no d/c's, decent layout, battery seems to last longer...In the future I'll probably try ebuddy/fring for the sake of comparison.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinsmbuk:
Does anyone know where they are stored?, when you take a picture of someone and use it as a contact picture, I know it doesn't use the original photo.

It must use a low res version and save it to a location on the phone/sd card somewhere?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
hi i think the pictures are just cached and not stored, and redownloaded every time you sync :confused: if they are stored they will prob be somewhere in /system/customise :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinsmbuk:
Hi thanks for the reply, so If I were to format the phone back to factory settings and I backed up my contacts would the pictures be saved with the contact backup that you export to the sd card?

If not then how would I backup my contacts pictures?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
if you save a contact as a sim contact i think you have to manually back up your pictures, but if its saved as a google contact, it automatically backed up to the google servers, hence the low quality, google resize it so there not too big :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carlocb:
Hello everyone! I just registered on the forum, but I'm following it for a while. In fact I just bought a galaxy s, switched from an iphone 3g in fact, and I'm loving it!

Before buying the phone, I read all the info available about it, and I was really preoccupied about the whole gps issues posts...I use the gps quite a lot, and I really couldn't stand a 500€ phone with no working gps. But in the end I bought it, thinking "well, if it is so bad I could always keep my iphone and use it as a navigator".

Now I tried the navigator two times already, on a 40km route, from my house to the city and back, the former with the navigon software and the latter with the google navigator. I must say that my navigator was ALWAYS SPOT ON. And I mean it, every street I crossed was exactly at the point it is supposed to be, and turn indications were very precise, in fact even more precise than the iphone gps with tomtom, which I loved!

My galaxy s was bought in Italy, and is running firmware 2.1-update1, baseband I9000XXJF5, kernel 2.6.29 root(at)SE-S602 #2, build number ECLAIR.XWJFD. I configured it to use both the gps and the wireless network in home settings.

I just wanted to share my experience because maybe there are other people like me out there who are thinking twice about buying the phone because of the reported gps problems...

Now...could it be that the supposed gps issues were an hardware problem, which has been fixed in a more recent batch production?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fobas001:
I havent had any issues with my SGS aswell, works great (JM2 firmware), maybe its a different version of SGS...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] igniztion:
Navigation software like Navigon, CoPilot etc always try to place you on the nearest road, and hence they work fine even though the GPS isn't spot on.

Try using MyTracks, SportyPal or iMapMyRun to track a route and you can clearly see that the GPS is struggling with keeping an accurate fix.

I've used my SGS with CoPilot and it guided me perfectly around northern europe, but tracking my cycling or running is not an option as it is now.

Would be interested in seeing you track a drive/bike ride/run with one of these apps to see if it works as it should.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Piny12:
I have to agree with you on this. I never experíenced ANY problem with the GPS. And I use it ALOT!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scrappy.doo:
And here we go again.

The problem is indeed with the GPS having trouble to keep an accurate fix (so not obtaining it fast enough) and in most 'road navigation' software, or the likes, you won't experience this behavior since they: pin you to the road, smooth your path, or perform any other optimizations after they've received the position from the GPS driver/interface.

If you indeed use a program like MyTracks, SportyPal, RunGPS, etc then you will see you're 'jumping' around quite a lot. This is caused by:

1) The GPS LOCKS to 8 satellites Max

2) It drops any satellite with a SNR less than 22

this can be tested by using a program like GPS Test. This holds true for ALL Galaxy phones out there. Not every one is experiencing these problems since:

1) They use a program that pins the user to roads or does some other modification

2) They are lucky to be in a relative clear field so enough satellites with a SNR above 22 are available

3) They simply think those few deviations are not a problem

It is very most likely an issue with the GPS driver which can be fixed by Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] milsjg:
or they have another batch, or they do not have lots of programs running or they have that magic touch or they control memory in a better way or using another firmware........

My GPS has been accurate both walking in the forest driving the car .... and yes I know the differences between the softwares internal handling of the fixes. I still think that some people has the error and others have not. Of course I can get errors if I want to, by loading a lot of programs, keeping it very hidden inside the car etc. Due to something, different users get different results and I do not know which is in majority. Maybe all but a few got a faulty phone or the reverse. Just do not get to the assumption that everybody that has a good GPS are some amateurs and do not know anything about GPS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] heygrl:
My Galaxy S regularly has locks on sats that have SNR's lower than 22.
