Hey there folks!

Basically, I've been hit with the stuck at downloading problem with my HTC Desire.

It won't download ANY apps whatsoever apart from PayPal for some reason.

I've tried everything, deleting cache/data for various programs, factory reset, HARD reset, installing different roms and even been given a new phone by Orange! Still no luck.

I've even tried creating a new googlemail/gmail account, activating GTalk and all the rest. Nothing is working for me and it is seriously stressing me out.

I was wondering, are there any ROMs out there with a FILE EXPLORER built in? I don't care what file explorer it is, just as long as it has one. That way I'll be able to install MyBack Up Pro and install the rest of my Apps from my SD card instead of having to download them.

I don't really care what ROM it is, I've gotten to the point where I just want a working Desire with apps!

Any help would be grateful.

Much obliged

River =]
[Desire General] Mr_Maz:
just do a search for paid apps online and you will probably find them available to download for free and do a manual install via HTC Sync

Filestube.com is a good one

if you like the app, it is worth considering paying for it to support the developers
[Desire General] River T.:
Hi there,

thanks for replying =]

I can't seem to find a HTC Sync that is compatible with the Mac OS X

I'll have a look around a bit more though.

River.
[Desire General] charon72:
Is your phone rooted?

If so, open the Rom zip file and add the apk for a file explorer and then install it from the recovery menu, remember to disable verification.
[Desire General] River T.:
So I would literally just unzip the DeFrost rom, add in File Explorer apk into the zip and then re-zip it.

And then go to the Recovery and just do a wipe an reinstall the rom?

Would that actually install the File Explorer too?

I tried HTC Sync.

For some reason my phone won't connect to it! (Tried on both Mac OS X and Windows 7)

This is definitely not my lucky week >_<
[Desire General] charon72:
Well that works for me :)

I use Leedroid mod.

I open zip file and put APK's under Data/App

But i dont unzip, i just open the zip in winrar, add the apk's , choose add and replace and thats it.

then i install rom with signature verification disabled.

Newly flashed rom with my own apk's installed from start.

GIve it a shot :)
[Desire General] River T.:
Ahh

I think thats what might have went wrong for me.

The signature verification feature?

How do I disable it? Is it through my phone or through my laptop?

I tried unzipping then adding the apk file in the Apps section and THEN rezipping it but it doesn't work.

The ROM won't install.

Must be because of the verification thing...
[Desire General] charon72:
In the recovery menu under advanced u can disable it if u use amon ra.

if u use clockwork i think its under the flash zip menu :P

SOmetimes when i do this it doesnt work first time ( most times it works), if that happens just wipe and reflash.

Good luck
[Desire General] River T.:
Perfect!

Thanks very much friend.

Finally working. Soon as I got File Manager installed the rest of it became a piece of cake!

I owe you one Charon72!

River
[Desire General] charon72:
No problem, Just happy i could help solve your problem.

Enjoy ur working desire :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] palomosan:
I'm rooted, I thought once you're rooted you won't be getting the OTA messages?

My question, should I upgrade while rooted or should I go back to Stock???

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pr1923:
If you're rooted why would you want to update. You will lose root and not really gain anything that isn't all ready available in the custom mods.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
My phone has essentially been asleep (scree off) for 1 hr 8 min. Partial wake info says I have 8 min of Android System usage. Is that normal? I feel as if my phone isn't going to sleep fast enough. Lost 3% of battery doing nothing...

Hi

I read theat the galaxy s have tempered glass!

I am thinking og buying the phone, but also read that the screen is plastic.

Can anyone confirm that it has a glass screen?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daftdrew:
The screen is glass. I have the Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brodos123:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
Isn't the unlock screen message give a very clear explanation? :D

"Sweep glass to unlock"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ConceptVBS:
I would be sweeping left and right and never let go on that one. :D:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snuk:
the screen is NOT made from glass

[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
The screen in the video is not from a SGS or is it?

SGS screen IS made out of glass, but the display itself is not of course:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
Take a mallet to your SGS, prove to us that it doesn't have a glass screen ;)

Sure, the AMOLED is flexible, but the GLASS SCREEN THAT COVERS IT isn't.

Hi, I'm currently running CM 4.2.15.1 on my HTC Magic and have an issue when I try to upgrade to update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed.zip or update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed.zip. The radio functions and I can make calls/send SMS messages but I get no mobile data. Before installing both I did a factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik wipe.

My phone specs are:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Apr 9 2009,23:30:40

And I have Amon_ra's RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G

Anyone know if I've missed something here ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Are you using the same APN on 4,5&6?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] subster:
Do I have to manually copy those across?

I couldn't see the details to them under 4.2.15.1 but I may have missed the relevant section
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Yes, go to Settings > Wireless & Network > Mobile Networks > APN > click on the one you use and copy everything down > Flash CM6 (or something better *cough* Jubeh's ROM *cough*) and enter everything again > Prosper.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
Good Job!

For those people who don't have Photoshop, I use Gimp, which is free, to edit my image files. I'm no expert in creating any designs but for simple things it gets the job done for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
This is a really nice tutoriall!! Well done sir :D

Aww.. Im Flattered =]

I'm Glad this thread has opened as I'm sure plenty of people will want to jazz up their mail tab!

Great Tutorial!

Cant wait to see what people come up with!

Don't forget to post your screens! :D

Thanks again for the mention Doodkapje ;)

Wouldn't of had my awesome mailtab with out conantroutman & Paten, Thanks again lad's :)

Here's my mail tab to get you started ------>

Have fun Peeps! :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
You might want to swap that screenshot for a new one....... with Green Tab Names.... :D it will change all the tabs btw......

Doodkapje, I'll post the manila mode9 file for changing the tab titles in case you want to include that in your tutorial.....

Its just a case of opening up the file tree and changing the two colour values to whatever you want..

Thanks to poyensa and paten for that one :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rterblanche:
Can somebody add a delete button or option in the E-Mail Tab menu. That is my only mod I am hoping somebody will find a solution for at the moment.

Like deleting spam without having to open the inbox.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Doodkapje:
Superb! Awesome, thanks!

Conan, I cannot find the right object that easily. I can try to look into it in more detail later or, if you wish, make a post yourself with your tutorial and I'll put a link to it in the opening post :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hatefly:
This is amazing. Prob the best TUT I have seen on this. I head read some others, but let's face it, not everyone knows how to give instructions.

Questions:

* Is there anything that has a list of all Manila files and what they do?

* Do you know of any other TUTS on Manila mods or Theme Creation? (I have a bunch of Theme Ideas i would love to try

* Any TUTs on editing task bars, soft bars, or quick links? How about Toggle switches :)

Once again, TY TY TY!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Medievil Mail......

:D

@snowblind.....

I didnt notice that, but I tested all the colours I did and they all do that.....

Either those tabs are affected by a different manila file or I need to add "color" values in somewhere in the file Im using.......

If I figure it out I'll let you know........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Cheers buddy.

Quick question, the font on your medievil mail tab, is that local to the tab or is it all over the phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Its all over the phone Im afraid..........

However, from what I saw when I was changing the mode9 file there were things related to fonts. Im hoping that I might be able to assign certain fonts to certain tabs, Im not sure if it would be possible to restrict it to just one tab or if it would have to be on all (except music and internet) of them.......

I have no knowledge of programming at all so looking through those mode9 files means nothing to me, its easy enough to pick out where the colours / fonts / sizes are but I have no idea which part they relate to or where I would need to add in new values to change things.........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Thank you!

Thank you for the tut how to change the font colour. The skining was not my problem but the font colour.

Works fine!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
that is really nice job :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Thank you!

Thank you!

I hope it is not a problem that i post the cab here in this thread!?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Shame, thought it might of been. Interesting about the mode9 files tho. Be interested in seeing what you find.

I'm just having a nosey at mode9 for the first time.. so much to figure out but hope to join you big boy's soon :D

Want to return the favor some day ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Go for it, I knew nothing about this sort of thing until a few months ago but theres so many people here who are happy to share their knowledge you cant go wrong....

Theres loads of great tutorials for things like Gimp which will have you creating skins in no time......

The only problem is finding the time in between work and spending time with the missus..... :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
And thats why I'm giving it a go! :D

To be honest, you inspired me with the Mailtab mod ;)

Problem is, add a 15 month old boy to the equation and you have even less time..

But I am blessed with a extremely tolerant wife :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
haha I guess your pretty lucky then :)

im sure youll be churning out your own mods in no time.... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Doodkapje:
You're welcome!

There is a way in m9editor where you can see the manila names (not the numeric/alpha code only) that gives you a hunch what file does what. Maybe you can ask the editors of the task bars how they did it :) ...and ofcourse tell us afterwards :D

Nice! So... in order to use a different font, you'll need to put that into your \windows root, right? I never tried that...

Not at all! Thanks for showing and sharing... that's from the movie '9' isn't it?

Yep! So true, haha! So many things to do besides tweaking and modding... yet, I've learned so much from XDA and the community; eventually things will go faster :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
I haven't tried it yet but I think, if you put the font into windows/fonts then edit the mode 9 file it should work, im just not sure which parts of the mode 9 relate to certain tabs etc...

I haven't spent enough time looking over them to get used to it, that screemshot was done using kdfont changer....

I wouldn't be surprised if tab colors and fonts are a feature in a new version of cht.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Yes it is from the movie "9". I´m thinking about to make a "9" Theme for cht.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
I'm just sticking with grey.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] D_Mon88:
great tutorial, thankyou. i have yet to try it myself but before you published this fear2142(supercool guy) was kind enough to make this one for me, so i thought i'd show it off. it still needs some work but im tinkering on a naruto slider for the time being. if any fans want to work on it with me i'm hoping to put together a bit of a theme eventually. all done with ms paint so far, lol. anyway, hope you like it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
thanks for the tut! funny thing is i had just found the manila graphic file on the same day! but now on to editing the font...oh yeah!

Hello sir, I love what you did and tried to install it but the emails just disappear in sense now. Using Energyrom 24th Cookie
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Thats strange. Just tested the cab and it works fine.

Did you install it on device or storage card?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chrisrj28:
I installed on the Device and rebooted. i wonder if it has anything to do with the CFC compression he has employed in his latest release.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
This i dont know! Maybe its better to ask the ROM Chef about it. Maybe he has a solution for it. SRY :(

New mail tab mailbox icons and selector

Here are my new icons for the mailboxes, selector, new message and notification bubble on the email tab. If you like them just download the zip file, make a backup of the five manila files from your device, then overwrite them with the new files.

I'm going to have a go at making a cab for them for easier install/uninstall...

What are you after exactly my friend?

The black background on its own (no gray bubble bits top and bottom) with Green text?

Or..

Black background, green text and grey bubble?

They're a combination of bits from Paten & Conantroutman :D

Black paper with green Text is Here

Black background with Grey bubble is Here.

Just drop this in your windows directory (Always backup before doing anything ;) ) After installing the above cab, Soft reset and Woala!

Hope that was what you where after :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ptit developer:
Is it possible to create the same for landscape.

I think the name of the manila file to edit is : 0656d327_manila

I hope you can do it, i love your style.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ptit developer:
I really hope you will can do it.

If it is possible, can you create the same theme but with strong corners.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ptit developer:
And an other idea, if it possible, can you create a theme with background transparent but in saving lthe two lignes to separate in cyan, and change the black text to white text, to have something like sms tab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
transparent is a pain in the ass because you can still see the mail items behind the one your viewing and the text becomes unreadable..........

unless someone know which file governs the documents behind???

It might be possible to prevent the items behind from being displayed by editing an m9 file but im afraid I cant look it into it right now.......

If I can fix my laptop I will investigate for you.....

there is a workaround........... if your email tab background is a solid colour then you can create a document in the same colour to give the effect of transparency,,,,,,,, however you can still see the corners of the mail behind poking out :(

Have a look at this from post 57 onwards.......

hope that helps.......

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Njpenso:
I'm posting here because I don't know what else to do, my phone freezes using any froyo rom. It happens randomly and sometimes will not happen until I reboot the phone, but it makes my phone pretty much unusable. I've tried the leaked froyo rom, BB, CM 6 1&2 and countless others. I've tried wiping data / cache and formating the SD card (worked until i put my music back on), and I'm about to just try stock 2.2 and exchange it for a new one if it wont work.

Anyone else have this problem that could help me?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] M4r34d0:
One thing I didn't see you do...

Have you at all root your phone to install the desired froyo rom for your phone?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Njpenso:
Yes I am rooted, I'm currently on CM 5.0.8 and very happy but I would really like to get froyo working.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] M4r34d0:
Alright. This is what I've done to get Froyo working on my Droid: I rooted my phone, downloaded BB v4 and changed the name of the file to update, installed Rom Manager on my phone(then found out I can download the roms from here as well), reboot into recovery through rom manager, wiped data & cache, selected install zip, then selected reboot phone. It took a bit to register but it converted over with BB v4.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Njpenso:
I think I've found my problem

droidforums.net/forum/tech-issues-bug-reports-suggestions/67526-music-sd-card-causes-bb-4-freeze.html

this sounds like my exact problem, I'm going to look through my library and see if there is a corrupt file then try again :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] M4r34d0:
Hopefully that is the source of the issue and that'll be solved quickly. Good luck to ya
