VERY HANDY FOR ANDROID TESTERS

NOW THAT THE CURRENT BUILDS ARE STABLE FOR DAILY USE

So every time you test a build you can easily sync your contacts/calendars

to your Android run HD2.

Google Sync: Setting Up Your Windows Mobile Phone for Google Sync

doing these steps will sync your windows calendar and contacts to google sync

this is how i managed to do it:

Getting Started

1. Open the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync application on your device's

home screen.

2. Click Set up your device to sync with it.

3. Enter m.google.com as the server address.

4. Ensure that the SSL option is selected.

Sign In to Your Google Account

5. Click Next.

6. Enter your full Google Account email address as the User name.

7. Enter your Google Account password as the Password.

8. Leave the Domain field empty. If your device requires you to enter a domain name, enter google.

9. Click Next.

10. Check Contacts, Calendar, or Email, depending on which you'd like to sync. (Tasks is not supported and will lead to an error if checked.)

11. Click Finish.

You've now set up Google Sync for your Windows Mobile device

for screen shots here is (Google) the link

The title of the thread is incorrect. I thought it was a solution to sync my Windows Contacts to my Google account. This syncs the Windows Mobile Contacts. (Mobile not PC)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
Also that works,just do it this way:

Boot windows mobile,sync with outlook (2007 for me)

Install google sync on pc,sync what you need,in adroid make a gmail account and sync,voila,cotacts,calender etc :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] darkt123:
Very handy! Wish this was here when we all started this long strange trip lol. Had to google the hard way. :cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] z_rudy:
Google Sync on PC only syncs the calendar items with Outlook. Unfortunately, this means that if I add a new contact using Android, it won't be on my Outlook. I will have to boot into Windows Mobile, allow WM to sync with Gmail (MS Exchange), then sync WM with my PC's Outlook. This is counter-productive lol

i signed the data plan only contract with UK O2. they block the calling feature on my dell streak which i only can send and receive text.

I am looking for a way to turn off phone module at the mean time keeping wifi on. unfortunately, seem i only can turn phone module off by setting in airplane mode. in such case, i can't use wifi for surfing.

is there any way around this? thx in advance!
[Streak 5 General] mr.suff:
Tap the battery icon in the top bar. This should bring down a menu, tap the tick box next to 3G, EDGE, GPRS networks. This will turn off the phone network data connection and leave the Wi-fi on.

This is sadly the closest to getting the phone to how you want, other than taking the sim card out.
[Streak 5 General] hmose:
I've noticed this problem on a Samsung Captivate and can put it in airplane mode (which also turns off wifi) and then separately turn wifi back on without changing phone.
[Streak 5 General] fards:
You can do it with 2.1 rom, I'm using it now to type this..

put it in airplane mode.

then go to settings, wireless networks, wifi and turn it on .

the quick dropdown menu (from the signal status) will also let you turn wifi on when its in airplane mode but not on the 1.6 rom unfortunately.
[Streak 5 General] royalmail:
i c. it's the ROM! damn...

u r right. when yr phone in airplane mode, it won't get charged at all.
[Android Software Development] boc_est1986:
I'm new to customising ROMs and need some help. when i open the update.zip folder and go to /system/app i can see all the apps that are going to be installed. everytime there is an update for one of these apps i first have to uninstall using adb. Can i just remove the app from the folder and then download from the market place once the flash has finished?
[Android Software Development] boc_est1986:
tried it done a full wipe and then flash, fatal error packages not found. To answer my own question, no it isn't this simple so don't try it

If you have problem on kies with your SGS running W7 x32, you can try to work around this way, make Kies compatible to XP and run the Driver recovery from the left top corner (it may takes awhile), upon finishing recovery, plug in your SGS and try again.

i am a heavy user of skype. since Fring is banned by skype, seems no one can login skype on streak?

do you guys have any solution for that? (skype)
[Streak 5 General] OnkelAlbert:
Nimbuzz works fine for me, at least for chat. Never tried voice calls....
[Streak 5 General] royalmail:
When was your last login.? I could not login skypse at all with n...

Voice call is most important part.
[Streak 5 General] OnkelAlbert:
Yesterday, does seem to have a problem today. I had an issue with a facebook account not working, after deleting that everything was fine again.

As it does not work right now, no chance to try the Skype Voice service!
[Streak 5 General] OnkelAlbert:
Sype chat working again. Was only a short problem.

But: I cannot do voice calling, screen is black....
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
the official skype app is only for verizon. it actually uses your phone service and your minutes for voice calls. its really horrible. fringe used to be able to work with skype and even allowed video chat with the front facing camera. and i have to side with fringe in that debate. maybe in the future skype will realize its best to sorta open up to other carriers.
[Streak 5 General] royalmail:
i think skype is losing his own customer here. i have to tell all my friend switch to fring now after I got a streak...
[Streak 5 General] OnkelAlbert:
Fully agree- I don't understand why Skype does not offer a native client..... Looking at the growth figures of Android, this looks like a big mistake to me. Anybody knows the background?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
Good one,if possible i can remove things i do not want like launcher pro (so i can upgrade myself to plus,not possible now in a rom i use)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fi3ry_icy:
yup.. its possible... i changed my launcher pro to the plus version... u will need a program which can modify it.. i used 7zip file manager...

u can get it at ( http://www.7-zip.org/ )

cheers..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Proz00:
thx im testing it right now :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
Ah that works......

And afterwards?

Can i just remove the apps in the apps folder?

And place my apps in?

Or do i also need to edit a install config file?

And how to zip it back like the original?

Thx
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Proz00:
i tested removing apps and everything is cool need to test adding apps :)

7zip ask u if u wanna rebulid it and ure Done :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
Aha,zipping back to tar.gz can be done with this one:

http://www.gzip.org/ free .

Going to test now,removed all thing i do not want,and put in my own programs....let's see if it works,report asap.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pongster:
This will work... you just need to be careful what you remove since you may end up with an unbootable android OS (boot loop) ... of course that's the beauty of the dual boot... you just copy a fresh android folder over and start again :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
do i need to rename it to tar.gz?

7 zip makes a .7z from it

I think i got it.

Just zipped with 7zip,placed that file on gz converter.

Removed only apps i do not need,and add my own,test now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Proz00:
no just open htcleo_update.tar.gz

u will see htcleo_update.tar open it too

remove the apks close 7zip

its will ask u do u want to update the archive

wait till its finished u will see temp file
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
ok that works,altough i can not add apk files
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Proz00:
adding apk not working ?

its gives error at first boot ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
No,misunderstand.....removing with the method from you works,it is booting now and installing.

What i meant to say is add my own apk files in that way,but 7zip says when i want to add my own apps: nor supported. (srry english not so good)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
Ok,does not work...

I only removed launcher pro,notting else....

Android boots,but when almost on home screen setup crashes.....:(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Proz00:
i removed same wallpapers and email gmail and some more didnt got error

try another htcleo_update.tar.gz with normal launcher too

im testing now with adobe flash and same more removed

the flash didn't installed successfully

browser still need the plugin
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pongster:
did you replace it with another launcher? if not then it will surely crash...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
Yep correct,but i do not know how to add it?

Removing other apps works with 7zip like flashlight,voicerecording etc.

But when i try to add files with 7zip it says not supported.

I get pretty decent results and both can encode subs, 2,000 bitrate, original framerate

Cucusoft can create some green artifacts though, and alltoavi is a bit slow with h.264 files

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
ROMs

As a software engineer by profession, it seems to me that a lot of differences will be due to the release version of the kernel, peoples usage, hardware and whether people have the right radio, have formatted their sd card right etc....

It would be nice to be able to have a common dev thread that keeps a latest kernel available and other bits so that we could pick up a build from a chef that includes their tweaks for sense/non-sense, wall paper, apps etc.

This may not be that easy but it may be possible with some thought.

This is from my understanding so far. I have tried a few builds and I am running xcelsiors build now but when I see a new kernel mentioned or a fixed driver, I would like to add these rather than having to wait for a new build.

Is the concept of a common base possible?

I read what works and does'nt in the release notes and I see for example "camcorder not working" and I wonder why not, it was sorted in another release by including the evo one (or something).

It seems painful for me for all of us to swap builds and test every feature out individually!

I'm sorry but this thread undermines a lot of work put into these builds.

I'm not saying this because I distribute builds, but because it'll cause tension between chefs and users.

Chefs will feel that their builds are pointless and may lose motivation to continue improving their works.

And users will lose confidence in chefs if their builds aren't the 'best'.
