Firstly, I use WARNING as my title is because, due to the increasing number of android build ready for our lovely users...I think there will be a lot of scamming problems exist...because everyone can steal others' hard work (cooked rom or android build), and then re-upload,and named to their own build...furthermore, they try to ask people to donate:mad::mad::mad:...this is really FFS...so I hope we can cooperate to prevent this and hope someone can teach us how to differentiate android build and how it is customized or personalised...

Cheers...look forward to see more awesome builds...and protect chefs' hard work...

Hmmm since android uses the linux file system which is permission based. Would it not be possible to have a file tjat cant be modified without the original owners access. A watermakr or something.
[HD2 General] Winshit:
Hi there,

I've got OpenVPN running on my HD2.(geman default rom from o2) It's working almost perfect... alomost.;)

When I start OpenVPN its actually launched but i have to access it through a small Icon in a Kind of Taskbar on the bottom of the Screen. If htc sense is enabled its covering this icon. so I have to deactivate htc sense, klick the Icon, connect, and then reenable htc sense. Does anybody know a way to get the Icon located somewhere where I can click it? Or any other way circumventing to de- and activate htc sense? Any regfix / something like this. If somebody could explain this problem and why its like this, i also would be happy about this.

best regards

win****

(yes I know the OpenVPN Version is not build for use with winmo 6.5-> if you have an other app that is capable to connect to OpenVPN send me a msg! I'll try it with joy)
[HD2 General] Tommy_HD:
Hi!

If anybody is interested in some kind of solution for this problem, I've wrote a small application for myself (and everybody who needs it).

Nothing special, only launches OpenVPN Manager if not running or bring it to the front if already started.

This way you don't need to see the taskbar icon and can use the manager.

Best regards,

/TT

PS.: No cab or other installer, just put it anywhere you want and create a link as you wish.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] electricbug:
I got my gw825v in HK recently，for there are many bugs in it's rom，I want to update it right now.But some said 825V can't ues expo/IQ'rom,is that true？
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] xdapants:
You should be able to flash the stock expo 10g rom to it.

To the best of my recollection however, the attempts to get a custom rom built for it were unsuccessful. I think it was the flashing process and not the building process, but I was mostly just a spectator.

If you ask really nicely, Dark may be willing to try again with roms for it if you're willing to help.

The attempts/results can be found here:

I regret buying a 825v from HK,even though i'm a Chinese,i'd rather have a English IQ/EXPO than a Traditional Chinese 825v.There are bugs,no roms.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] ken_nx:
hi there

I also use LG GW825V bought in HK and tried flashing the rom Dragonstorm 23134 - eXpo.exe

but it turned out a screen told me neccessary info not found

I am using official v10d ROM download from LG HK site. but im very disappointed with the software came with the phone, most these were useless and wasting storage spaces.

the LG idle could not customise shortcuts, it uses the slow IE even i set the Opera browser as default browser

the SPB traveler is absolutely useless

the Sprite backup and CE Ctar(for chinese input) were jokes. i tried using sprite backup and it said failed and required me to uninstall CEstar first. but all those preinstalled software could not be uninstalled. i even had to waste more storage to install some more storage to make the phone to work more handy.

it is also silly that the connection setting with service provide could not be changed
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
It isn't possible to flash custom roms for the eXpo or IQ to the GW825v due to the way the custom roms are built. There is something preventing it on this phone. However, you can flash official eXpo or IQ roms. Here is a link to the latest eXpo rom.

http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/Resources/GW820AT-01-V10g-310-410-APR-16-2010+0.exe
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] ken_nx:
thanks, i am downloading now.

actually now i dont see any major bugs with the official HK region ROM (v10d), i have installed the FakeSIP programme to correct the silly bug that the on screen keyboard auto jumps out when i slide out the hardware keyboard, and the MobileSense UI to the ROM memory, and now got around 56mb free program memory after reset.

others says they had trouble in sending SMS but it's all fine for me. i just hate the original rubbish softwares.

if the custom ROMs you guys cooked could not be put onto my phone i think i would rather stay with the current HK v10d ROM than to risk try the official US rom, because first of all i am afraid i would not be able to flash back to HK rom as the version is older than the US one, in case the US rom doesnt suit me or i need to bring the phone to repair. but i do need to thanks you guy's effort and help so far :)

in turn, is there any way i could extract the HK rom and do something with it myself to remove the rubbish pre-installed software? like the LG Idle, LG menu, spb traveller, CE Star(chinese input software) and those pre-installed ringtones and wallpapers..... is it really impossible for us?

Thanks
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] electricbug:
it's good to be back! my 825v work well with a 10g rom though it's a English rom.but my contacts could not display for the form of Chinese number is not the same as American number while my software regard my bluetooth as GPS.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
I believe I have figured out how to build ROMs for the GW825V.

The LG Kitchen only required a few minor changes.

I will be posting a test ROM in the next few days that will be unified. That means it should work on the GW820, GW825 and GW825V.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] xdapants:
Was there anything other than the dzcreate.ini additions you needed to do?

When you're building the flasher, which radio are you using? Have you tried the other radios on your iq? In my own cooking I always used the iq radio, as the Dragonstorm roms had different expo and iq radios; and I figured Dark knew better than I. ;)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Yes, the only changes I needed to make to the kitchen was to the dzcreate.ini.

Here's the break down.

When flashing, you need the flashing application, the ROM file (dz) and matching dll.

There are 4 dll files....

GW820WR.dll (eXpo v10d), GW825WR.dll (IQ v10c), GW820WR.dll (eXpo v10g) & GW825VWR.dll (GW825v v10d).

GW825WR.dll only works on the LG IQ since it does a model check and fails if it detects anything other than the GW825.

GW820WR.dll (v10d) only works on the LG eXpo (same reason as above).

GW820WR.dll (v10g) & GW825VWR.dll work on any LG Monaco device, but the FLASH.bin has to be split (thus the needed changes to dzcreate.ini). Custom ROMs wouldn't work on the GW825v because we were trying to use the wrong DLLs and when we used the right DLL, the ROM wasn't built properly (split).

You can flash the stock GW820 (v10d) ROM to you GW825 if you use your GW825WR.dll. You can flash the stock GW825v & GW820 (v10g) ROMs to your GW825 using either the GW820 (v10g) or GW825v DLLs.

In order to build a ROM that works 100% using the GW825v as a base, I had to use the GW825v OEMXIPKernal, OEMDrivers, OEMDriversHigh and source files.

By using the GW825v as a base, we gain 7 MB of RAM and 7 MB of storage.

I haven't tried swapping the different radios between ROMs to see which is better, but they all work on our GW825.

A Little Help Please Guys

i recently got a lg gw825v from a friend in the uk i'm from trinidad and tobago.. the phone was in english and on v10d when i used lg mobile support tool and updated, it went to v10c and now it's in chinese :( is there a way to change it back to english? thanks
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Yes, you should be able to update it with AT&T v10g (English).

Hi I am having problems running skype on my desire since the android 2.2 update, I can login using the 3 mobile data network and make and recieve skype calls, but after approx. 15-30 minutes I can no longer recieve calls, if I sign in again I can recieve the calls. Its as if it timeouts or changes to some sort of power saving state. Normal phone calls are not affected, there doesn't seem to be a option in skype to change any timout. Can anyone help please.

Thanks

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studio500:
Hi All

I recently updated my X10 via PC Companion thinking that my current settings had been backed up....but sadly they had not.

I lost my phonebook contacts and I'm desperate to get them back.

I tried a recovery program for they memory card and recovered all (supposedly) deleted files but for the life of me I can't find anything that resembles a phonebook file or doc.

Can anyone help please?

Also where is the phonebook info stored, is it on the memory card or on the actual phone apart from the sim?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studio500:
I have also tried searching for a .vcf in the recovered data but no luck.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to recover the deleted phonebook directory or guide me into the right place to look?

Regards

Marc

[Droid X General] Phsyckr:
Hi there!

I've been using the leaked version of 2.2 and I really love it but my video camera stops working!! I can open the app and when I hit the record button the app closes. If I reboot works great for the next 3-4 hours then it fails again! and this only happens in 2.2 when I'm on 2.1 works perfectly.
[Droid X General] dr154:
yeah ive had the same problem, ive recently did a factory reset and hoping it will work...
[Droid X General] backbeat21:
I have the same problem. I was going to factory reset and see if that made ax difference but haven't done so yet.
[Droid X General] Phsyckr:
If one chooses a lower quality (anyone below HD) works again for a while... but then the problem comes back.
[Droid X General] Canoli:
Mine was like that to but restarted the phone today and would you know it started working. No idea what happened
[Droid X General] Phsyckr:
Me too when I reboot works great again but then after 4 hours brakes again
[Droid X General] dr154:
well after almost 8 hrs of a factory reset, all camera/video functions working well... :)
[Droid X General] jackstiefel:
I also was having the same issues. Did a hard reset.

I have now found that if I use my Twitter account and have it launch camera do I have the issue. If I take a picture, then launch Twitter app and attach pic it is fine so far.

Any way to revert to old camera app?
[Droid X General] jm77:
I had the same issue - would launch, press record button and poof.

Rebooted phone using QuickBoot and voila. Working again.

Gonna try HTCCamera.apk, but I highly doubt it will work.

[HD2 General] gaarry:
Can you not read in the other topic? 5.2.xxxxx is already 6.5.. It just doesn't flat out say 6.5. Windows 7 won't be available for HD2, but you can check out a custom ROM that will make your phone much more enjoyable. Read up on the instructions first..

[General Questions and Answers] CreeDo:
I flashed mightyrom and customized the crap out of it. REALLY don't want to hard reset or flash a new rom. For some dumb reason it's missing picture mail. Google says lots of people have this issue, but they eventually get it straightened out. Not me. I've tried all of these with no luck:

Arcsoft Sprint MMS 5.0.69.44.cab

Sprint ArcSoft Threaded MMS 5.2.12.45.cab

Flyers2114TweaksSprint_5_0_94_128c.cab

Arcsoft_MMS_5_2_6_45U.cab

PictureMail_0.2.2.3.CAB

WinPM.CAB

MMS Fix (M2.5) (General) (Valkyrie).cab

EDIT: fixed it finally, just had to clear out old stuff and get them installed in the right order with the right settings.

--------------

Attempted to wipe out all old cabs and reg entries and windows files, anything that said picturemail, anything that said arcsoft, anything that said mms. I say attempted because when I got up and running again, old messages were brought back that I was sure I must have fully erased.

If anyone else has this issue, try these cabs in this order:

1. Arcsoft_MMS_5_2_6_45U.cab (after this, picture messages still grayed out)

2. Arcsoft Sprint MMS 5.0.69.44.cab (familiar picture message UI, picture options became available, along with server settings. Changed sending method from "internet" to "sprint". Still didn't receive test pix to myself)

3. Now soft reset even though it didn't ask.

After the reset, my pix came through, along with older tests from previous failed attempts.

Hi...

I am planning to buy a new HTC FULL HOUSING BLACK without the TOUCH SCREEN DIGITIZER

now i am confused whether i will be able to replace the FULL housing without changing the Digitizer??

i dont want to go for a new touch screen digitizer

Housing link from where i am buying : http://cgi.ebay.ca/FULL-BLACK-HOUSING-HTC-SPRINT-TOUCH-XV6900-MP6900-/170525852132?pt=PDA_Accessories

I am in INDIA & here HOUSING is only available for HTC ELF & not for vogue

& when i asked the HTC person he told me that the touch screen digitizer comes company fitted & the whole should be changed for ELF!

I really dont know about the VOGUE thing

So please guys help me out!!

If the housing can be replaced without changing the touch screen digitizer then can any one please give me a tutorial?

Thanks in advance!

[Touch CDMA Accessories] mikurej95:
if your still looking for one, ebay is good.

depends on what color

there is white and black

check for which ones fit with yours as the cdma and gsm ones are slightly different

and check if it comes with a digitizer or not

preferably a new one

key words: htc vogue

and then 'housing' if you can't find any
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kareemsamman:
Hello. I use a stock HTC Desire updated to 2.2 and I have a few problems :

1. The most important issue, I cannot access the Market, because I live in Syria, and we're from that blacklist thing.

2. Facebook, Youtube, MySpace, and a few more websites are blocked in my country, and there is no proxy option in the Wi-Fi, and I can't use proxy with my Data connection bescase it won't work. (Guess my provider doesn't allow that)

So, to have access to all of the above, I think rooting is the best solution, but I find it confusing. And if there another way around, I'd prefer it.

Also, I want to have (if I decide to root) :

1. The exact same Sense UI.

2. Android 2.2 (offical HTC Desire 2.2 ROM)

3. I want the Radio version unchanged. (or re-installing it?)

4. HTC Widgets. ([Wi-fi, Bluetooth, Moblie Data, Profile, etc..] switches, HTC Clock, People, etc....)(All of them)

5. Proxy option in Wi-Fi. (or an application if this feature not available)

6. Market access.

Excuse me for being a noob.....Sorry.

Yeah, in conclution, I want to have everything the same, I want no change in my dear phone (excluding root access and proxy option and Market access)

Can you provide me with the needed program links, tutorials, etc....

Oh, and what is the easiest way to root (unrevoked3, anything else?) with tutorials.

Thank You Greatly
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kareemsamman:
By the way, what is the safest rooting method?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br.l:
Hello everyone!

I've been for hours and hours searching this forum for a solution to my problem and i've found lot's of information but now I don't really know what's the best way to do it. I'm very newbie on this. Here is my situation:

I have just bough and A8181 HTC Desire Asian Version with this Specs:

-In the box it doesn't say AMOLED, so I think my desire has a SLCD screen

-The HBOOT version is 0.83

-Android 2.1 update1

-My Software number is 1.19.707.7

-My keyboard always have an annoying buttom to insert asian letters (Obviously that's because the Desire is an Asian Version)

What I want to know is just the best (and easiest) way to have an Official European FroYo 2.2 ROM instead of this asian 2.1.

So, how do I do this? UnrEVOked? Goldcard? What's the best ROM for my case?

Thank you all very much!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] beebzgonewild:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
If someone who has enough post wants to post the links to the files, please do.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] borgey420:
well really all you have to do now is flash a original PB31IMG.zip in HBOOT if you have s-off which you should if you're hacking in the first place.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Don't you think the whole point of his post was for people who didn't do S-OFF and did the latest leaked RUU and are stuck now because they fail to read.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
Yeah, that is what this guide is about is for the people who were not s-off. At the time I did the ruu update I didn't feel comfortable doing s-off and then I learned about it, felt better, but then it was too late, I already updated to froyo. This is how I solved that problem so I could s-off my phone after the update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
nice man so this is for people who didn't do s-off before doing the 2.2 RUU and can now go back to 2.1 so essentially they could now s-off to get root for 2.2? great work, bro!

** would this work for new phones, or say a refurb that came with 2.2 already, and unrevoked hasn't come out with a new root method yet, so you could use this method to get back to 2.1, s-off, then ota to 2.2 and attain root. even better.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lafester:
excellent post assuming it works :)

lots of people will want this if they need to root now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
In theory it should work, I don't see why it wouldn't. I don't have one that came with 2.2 so I don't know for sure.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdsurferbob:
sorry if this is a stupid question, but to confirm, does this process downgrade the radio too? The radio is what worries me the most, and presumably because the 2.15 radio was in the RUU, this process would downgrade it back to 1.x? Is it contained in the PCI...zip file? thanks all (used the RUU and now don't have any sound from internal speaker, trying to get back)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
If you will send me a PM with what typos I made, I will fix them. I am currently in AIT with the guard and don't have much time. The code should be correct, I believe the typos is where I wrote it up, and then had to remove the links because of the forums restriction of posting links when you are new.
