Did u do a nandroid backup before u flashed the Rom? If u did just restore. If u can I have RA-sapphirev-1.7.0g as my recovery. Same phone as u. You're not bricked. Just need to undo what u did.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] leonle:
no, i didn't do any backups...stupid me..is there any other way to fix when i don't hava a backup?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] johnson8cyl:
Can you get your sdcard to show up on your computer? If you can. Try wiping everything in recovery. Re-partition your sdcard leaving the values as they are. Then download cyanogen 5.0.8 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=688262 putting that on your sdcard and flashing it to see if it boots up. Also this is the recovery you should have stayed with. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and need to go back to. Page also has instructions on different ways to flash it. Let us know what happens. Use g version at top of downloads btw
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Make sure that while in recovery you flash the 5.0.8.zip and then flasht the Google Add-on .zip before rebooting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] johnson8cyl:
Actually I flashed them separate and all was well. Just trying to get you into the os so u can flash the recovery and get rid of Rom manager. If u can't get your sdcard on your comp to load another Rom to boot u might have to change your recovery through fastboot. Then flash new Rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719. More info on fastboot flashing ect.

thanks alot guys for helping, i got it worked again, though. i load cm5.0.8 on another sdcard and flash it, it finally booted to the home screen..however, when i tried to go to recovery screen again by holding home+power to flash gapps app, i still see the white "clockworkmod.." on top and bottom of the recovery screen though...weird..is there anyway to get rid of it??? cause' i think it's installed on my phone but don't know how to go in my phone to delete it. any ideas?? thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] johnson8cyl:
U still have that recovery flashed to your phone. Download the one I posted put on sdcard and use terminal method on that thread to flash
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kompheak:
clock work is fine.... do u still see the options u have? install from zip? after downloading gapp or roms correctly... go into download folder, locate gapp or roms n flash.

by downloading correctly means... having good internet connection and not having data shifting from 3g to e to wateva. plus dont do anything else beside the download. if u lose connection or shifting in connection speed... cancel download n redownload...this will keep download file from getting corrupted during download process... for future referrence - u should do this to everydownload

If you must have the stock messaging app, use SMS popup from the market. Free and does what you need. Otherwise, use Handcent.

[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
Do you remember how EnableVSync=0 speeds up MenuEnhancement (at least on earlier devices)? ;)

I've investigated that HTC uses vertical synchronization in:

-ManilaToday.dll

-Manila.exe

-mode9.dll

-HTCAlbum.exe

-HTCPhotoPicker.exe

-YouTube.exe

-htcAfe.dll

-HTCFPTViewer.exe

In some apps like album disabling vsync gives noticeable perfomance boost, in some not (for example, I don't see any differences in manila, but probably some scenes would be faster)

In attachment you can get Album 2011 executables with and without vsync: check photo scrolling.

How to patch these files?

-open file in IDA

-go to ExtEscape xrefs, look at R1, it should be: 0x186B8, 0x186B9 or 0x186BA

-patch BL ExtEscape to NOP or any meaningless operation

Tech info:

vsync can be enabled in 3d party applications using this code:

#define VSYNC_BASE	0x186B8

#define VSYNC_SWITCH	(VSYNC_BASE+0)
#define VSYNC_ENABLE	(VSYNC_BASE+1)
#define VSYNC_DISABLE	(VSYNC_BASE+2)

//slower (sometimes causes terrible lags):
int EnableVSync(HDC hdc, int enable)
{
char en = (char)enable;
return ExtEscape(hdc, VSYNC_SWITCH, 4, &en, NULL, NULL);
};
//or
//faster:
int EnableVSync(HDC hdc, int enable)
{
return ExtEscape(hdc, enable ? VSYNC_ENABLE : VSYNC_DISABLE, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);
}

Please, don't ask me to patch your files. If you don't notice boost on faster devices, don't post your negative experience: I test everything only on SE X1
[Windows Mobile] miniterror:
wonder why nobody says anything about this:-o

it looks like ti could be usefull or are all chefs already using this

or are chefs beware of a negative site of this tric?

i dont really get how it is supposed to be done so i cant try it

also the album attached is way older then the one i use so i think i cant compare it:p
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
There seems to be almost no negative sites. Most of chefs disable VSync for htcmenus and get no issues, so why disabling vsync in other applications should affect anything? Main difference is that htcmenus' VSync can be enabled/disabled in registry while it can't be disabled for other packages.

You can always copy older HTCAlbum.exe over newer one just to compare perfomance. It is uploaded for example.

//I use album 2011 because it zooms a lot faster than any newer albums.
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
I just tried it on my Leo and it's noticeably faster scrolling through pics (once the pic is opened... ). Although it does loose the smooth focus in/out action and of course pinch to zoom :) Good initiative though, disable vsync in manila and see what happens!!
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
That's probably because of older version of album.

Before opening this thread, I've patched all files mentioned above.

Manila files - not so much noticeable changes, but manila's htcmenus seems to open faster. May be some scenes like music tab's landscape mode would be much better, I haven't checked.

Album/Photopicker get a lot of boost.

YouTube - scrolling videos' list became faster.

htcAfe.dll - CM*.exe work a bit faster, but they are pretty quick even without this trick.

Footprints - not checked. I don't use them in my roms.
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
Hello and thanks a lot for this tweak !

I have ida pro 5.5 advanced, but when i decompile htcalbum.exe or other file, i don't have any xrefs..

Could you please tell me how do you find the extscap xref please ? Which menu in ida do you use please ?

Thanks a lot :)

regards,

Nixeus
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
I think i have located the good area :

So, if i understand, i need to change BL to NOP.

SO....what is the hex code of BL please ?

How can i found it please ?

Thanks a lot :)

regards,

Nixeus
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
Yeah, you've found correct area.

I am not at my desktop pc (where all apps are located), so I can't tell you exact nop bytes. In that case I suggest you to replace BL ExtEscape bytes with next or previous instruction bytes (MOV R4, R0 or MOV R1, R4 in your file) as they will not harm anything here but will reliably disable jump.
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
Thanks a lot for your answer :) It's very very funny to do this exercice :)

I have found the hex code for BL : It's "00 EB"

I have read on google that the NOP instruction don't exist in ARM7, but the equivalent is MOV R0,R0, i will try to search how writing MOV R0,R0.

If you have some docs about ASM in ARM.....i could help me :)

Thanks a lot !!! :D :D
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
thumb processor mode has nop, sure :) don't remember about arm mode.

I have some docs but they are in russian.

Any useless instruction can be equivalent. MOV Rx, Rx (replace x with any number) are useless. In current context MOV R4, R0 or MOV R1, R4 are useless, too, and you know its bytes, so you can copy them. I usually do that, too (lazy to open asm compilator for such little problems).

Btw, in my opinion, the best and the easiest compilator for little issues is BinEdit (samsung featurephones reverser tool, not .NET version). There you can type something like

code32
MOV R4, R4

uncheck Big endian mode and check Compile to ARM.

For big patch projects FASMARM is better (search for ARMPC by den_po). Though, it compiles to semc/siemens featurephones patch file format (vkp) which is pretty easy to understand.

arm mode instructions are 4-byte long. Set Options->General->["Disassembly" tab]->Number of opcode bytes to 4.
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
Thanks a lot :)

SO i have modify the options in order to having the OP Code on 4 bits :

I need to replace BL ExtEscap by MOV R4,R0

So the BL ExtEscap is "C8 77 00 EB", so i need to replace C8 77 00 EB by 00 40 A0 E1, it's true ?
[Windows Mobile] OndraSter:
Yes, exactly that.

// Btw, HTC doesn't sync against VBlank, so that's why it looks weird when scrolling in Opera or anywhere else. (Da_G's information)
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
:) Thanks a lot for all this informations ! IDA Rock's :D

I have searched in Htc_Messaging and in EzInput in order to speed up the SMS typing....but there is no Vsynch in !
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
Nice thread and thanks for sharing the info :).

I did a google on VSync but I could not get a good info related to Mobile Device/WinMo. Can you please add a bit info in this thread on that too or in first post :confused:.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
What to add? That's OEM feature, that's why you can't find anything about it.

It is used by HTC pretty widely, and I listed almost all apps that use this feature (which isn't good for older devices like mine).
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
LOL, right ? Some people have no common sense...
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
Hello,

I have tried to disable the ExtEscape on the manila.exe.

I just see an import of ExtEscape, but i don't see the call of the ExtEscape.

It's normal ?

Thanks a lot :)

regards,

Nixeus

Edit : @ UltraShot : I have seen that ExtEscape is a function of coredll.dll so, why you say that it's an oem feature, sorry but i don't understand :(

Thanks a lot ultrashot.
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
no, but i can't say what is wrong.

ExtEscape is a common WINAPI function but control codes mentioned in first post make it enable/disable vsync.
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
Thanks a lot Ultrashot for your fast answer.

I don't know why i don't see the call (BL ExtEscape) on manila.exe and on the HTCFPTViewer ( same issue).

This work is very interresting....

Now i would like to create a patch for sense in order to bypass the function thaht compress the walpapper of Sense, but, it's an other thing ;)

Hello Every Good developers,

You have done a great job with this Cab,but i got a problem that persist in my daily use of my Htc Hd2.:)

I live in Italy,i got a "H3G" contract but my house is out of "H3G" range and i'm constantly under "TIM" connection and this CAB (No data in roaming) works perfect.:p

The problem is when i get to work in the morning and at midday where i get "H3G" data connection i try to connect and it Doesn't work,so the only way is to restart or softreset the phone.:(

It seem OK to me to do this every day,but it is quite annoying if you think that when you traveling and you lose the "H3G" range starts a "TIM" roaming the this CAB stops,it will never go back automatic to the H3G data transmit unless you dont restart the phone.:(

I give you a program example like "Skype" that i use alot and sometimes i need to be on-line all day for Business reason,all this constant restart drive me mad.:mad:

In the end the question is:

Is it possible to keep this line i questiond in the next release?

So a program like "Skype" reconnect automaticly when it comes back from a roaming data that has been stop by NoDataInRoaming?

Thanks alot for all the works you done on this site and you made a Windows Mobile a new generation system still to be developed in a way that will KILL the Apple,Symbian and Android which i saw and used but i stil rather prefer the Windows Mobile System.

Hello all great XDA developers,

I think is time to ask you all if there is an application that monitored the led on my THC HD2 in RED if the connection is lost :confused::confused: (any from the Sim operator-3G-HSDPA-Wifi):eek:.

It would be a great idea because if you use other led notifications they make a green led,but in this case it will be monitored in Red if the connection is down.

I know it exsisted one for the an old windows mobile 5 and i used to use it.

Can you all help me please i looked everywhere but nothing.

I even thought that it woldn't be possible cuz the Red led is only notify when charging,but i never know until where you all developers can pull this great idea.

I suppose you can use the My Files app to find the directory and delete them that way. Which directory? I don't even know :P . I think there are apps that can show how much space is being taken up by a folder and you can investigate suspect folders further.

Anyone else having this issue?

I have Root Explorer purchased and installed. I am trying to remove/rename the start up/start down sounds. It appears that root explorer is in r/w mode for the folder I am in (Sytem/etc) if I delete the file, it shows "file deleted succesfully". I refresh and it is still there. If I try and copy my new file from the internal sd, it says "file copied succesfully" but it does not show up. I have also tried renaming PowerOn.wav to PowerOn.wav.bak and it takes but I cannot rename it to PowerOn.wav. Then if I verify things with Linda file manager, it shows the file still named PowerOn.wav.bak. How come it's not letting me change the files? Also, hitting the button "Mount R/O" does nothing, it always says the same thing, it never changes to "Mount R/W".

I keep hearing people say it works for them but it's not working for me. I am using stock rooted firmware.
