[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
The HD2 looks way better, I do agree. But my brother bought himself a samsung galaxy s, and he's going to start making games and apps, so he could teach me a little bit, and if I have problems, I could go to him rather than sending it to repairs, (not all problems are easily solved on the intarwebz) and then I'd get rid of Windows Mobile..
[HD2 General] darkkoushirou:
Sorry to hear that you have such hard issues with your HD2. :(

I had the same issue too. TomTom replaces two BT files (Your bluetooth should not work by now) so the BT application can not start up properly. THIS fixes at least this problem (Use Resco Explorer or TotalCommander and unhide system files).

I hope you'll find help for your other issues, too. :)
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
I see, tho, will this problem only appear if you have hacked TomTom? Or with the real TomTom aswell? Just want to make sure before I send it back to HTC :P
[HD2 General] geon106:
How did you hack TomTom? Is that so you get free turn-by-turn navigation? :D
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
Well, instead of buying a licence, you hack it, using a keygen of some sort :S Didn't quite get what I did, but I used CMD to open a keygen and create a file :S Was weird, but hey, I did it... After 2 hours of trying :cool:
[HD2 General] mei_liberi_fatali:
Easy when you know how, but im sure its not something that should be discussed on the forums. (WTB TomTom for sale from the australian site, as i feel its worth the cash)

anyway, darkkoushirou is correct regarding TomTom + Bluetooth.

I found it easier to install it to the SD card then factory reset. Once thats done i used total commander to simply copy a link back into your start menu.

Now that my custom ROM has XDA_UC i have set it to auto-copy the link back to my start menu after each rom upgrade

I know that when i got the handset i was trying many different apps, some of which caused issues. Once you get an idea of the ones you need, doing a factory reset is recommended. Then only install the 'good' ones.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rtorbs:
Thought id check out what homescreen apps people are using and compare features etc....

Currently Im using launcherpro and have been for a while....love it but know theres plenty more out there:

ADW launcher

Home++

Slidescreen

Pandahome

...to name but a few....anyone got any thoughts or comments ?

Also given all the hoo har in the news re ropey apps being able to dial premium numbers etc :eek: does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Reason that came about is because a number of apps ive seen have the ability call telephone numbers...now for a homescreen app that controls most phone functions id expect that to be normal? but would i be right in thinking that?

let us know....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
I use Launcher Pro Plus.

And as a simple solution to premium numbers, you can just get your network provider to disable access :) I did that before my phone even arrived :)

Homescreen will likely need it so it can initiate calls etc. But be wary of apps that can make calls. I think google need to implement a UAC-style permissions system (like superuser permissions for root), that controls apps' access to the permissions they "need" in a similar manner. Then you could see when the app ACTUALLY needed the permissions, and deny or allow on a one-off or always basis.

I wonder if that's possible, if we could catch the intents etc. ???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kieransymes:
I'm using launcherpro mainly as it seems to be the most responsive. I'm not interested in pretty widgets etc. Just speed :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris5h:
Just FYI in case anyone wants to know:

For download mode, with the phone turned off, phold the number 1 key on the QWERTY keyboard and the power button simultaneously

For recovery mode, with the phone turned off, hold Volume Down, CAmera, and Power simultaneously.

You navigate with volume UP/DOWN, select with HOME, Menu toggles to "Manual Mode", whatever that it.

Enjoy
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
What is download mode?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris5h:
Download mode is the mode you put the phone into to be able to flsh new software to it from a pc. Anyone going to this phone from the Moment will know exactly what it is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ImSoHungry:
is it a ms-mount?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris5h:
I am sorry, I do not know what that is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Mass Storage mount... Basically, does download mode turn it into a mass storage USB device?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris5h:
Oh I gotcha. No it does not.

HOWEVER, after installing Lauchad (maybe coincidence), my phone went into a cont. reboot every 30sec about. I managed to uninstall some recent apps with no avail.

I entered Download Mode and its stocked at Downloading. Do not turn off target. Is this the main screen?

Edit: Yes. Thats the Main Screen.

Hmm.. So we only need someone to create the Update.zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmexx:
Quick question. I entered download mode.. I got the downloading! do not turn off target!!! How do I get out of this screen??
[Epic 4G Android Development] soul44:
Either use Odin to flash a new rom, or pull your battery out of the phone. As long as it's not mid-flash, you can turn it off without consequence. Obviously if you were flashing a rom, you wouldn't want to be pulling the battery out in the middle of it, of course...

FYI this mode isn't something anyone should need to access regularly. Please see this post for more information on the use of Download mode and how to return your phone to stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] soul44:
Update.zip? You mean for Recovery mode? No, that's not necessary for custom roms or anything... You would want to use Clockwork recovery, not the stock recovery, and the .zip can be named anything. Update.zip is generally how the stock recovery flashes an OTA update after it's downloaded. If I recall, it has to pass a checksum before it'd flash - you couldn't just zip some files together and call it "update.zip" and expect it to work. With Clockwork Recovery you would.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmexx:
Thank you very much... Yeah it was not mid flash, which would be way worse. I am just getting accustomed to all the different menus and various screens. I got into the mode, just to give it a try and was worried about just pulling the battery. Didnt think it would really matter since i wasnt flashing or anything. But figured I would ask first to save some headaches. Trying to read up and learn all I can about this thing. Clockworked and rooted, getting ready for the first rom go!

[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
I think its easier to Root with unrevoked after S-Off with Alpha-Rev and then u can flash ANY Hboot and yes any RUU !

Ive done this before i sent my desire back in to repair! (It was fully USB Bricked!)
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
Don't know if it can help, but I did use it in order to downgrade the Hboot on my Desire to 0.75

Just for the fun :), I've done it in order to reinstall the ROM Orange_FR 1.15 :rolleyes: (the only ROM available on Internet for Orange_FR).

Don't do this if your Desire has a SLCD sreen ! Of course.

I did'nt make a new goldcard (just used my usual gold one).

The most important is to create the misc.img on the sdcard... in order to modify it and change the Hboot's version.

How to do this?

- First step : switch on the phone in recovery mode and mount your sdcard

- Second step : use adb with these commands:

adb shell

cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

The next steps are not more difficult (thanks to some people on various forums)

1. copy misc.img to your pc

2. start an hex editor and open misc.img

3.

at the end of the 11th line

you will see your current ROM's version (example: 2.29.xxx.x)

4. change it to 1.15.xxx.x

5. save it under a new name (misc-mod.img, for instance) and copy it to sdcard

6. flash modified misc.img:

- download flash_image.zip (see below), unzip it and copy the content to the sdcard with adb:

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

- add execute bit

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

- flash the modified image (don't forget to change the name, from misc.img to misc-mod.img):

/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc-mod.img

Your Hboot is now virtually 0.75

7. flash the RUU HTC_Bravo_WWE_1.15.xxx.x of your choice

Your Hboot is now 0.75 for real

flash_image.zip
[Desire Android Development] masci81:
My desire is already unlocked with unrevoked, but my problem is to replace the clockword's recovery with the original one, so i tried to make an hboot downgrade to solve it....this is the only idea that i had...
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
Is there any reason why you don't simply flash your phone with a stock RUU ?

As far as I know, it is the simpliest way to put back a stock recovery on a Desire.
[Desire Android Development] masci81:
yes, i can't because when i try to flash with a stock RUU i get error "155" so it's impossible to take that way... :(
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
That is because u are running a ruu (example wwe) not branded on a branded phone..so to run the ruu correctly u just need to create a goldcard (search guide in the forum)...or run the ruu of ur operator if u have it (search on shipped roms)..in general an ruu restore all, also the hboot and the original recovery
[Desire Android Development] masci81:
qlimax i sent u a pvm,

my desire is not brand, and i tried also the gold card guide but didn't work too...
[Desire Android Development] dnalevy:
Do you need a goldcard for this procedure or can it be done with the installed sdcard?
[Desire Android Development] deadmonkey:
My phone got very wet cycling home Friday before last and since then it's just booted and displayed Safe Mode and powered itself off after a minute or so when the screen goes to sleep.

It was running 0.93 but unrooted, an Orange which I'd previously changed to unbranded to get rid of their guff, but not really done much else too.

Having in the last week spent several hours booting and holding volume controls but not finding any PB99IMG.zip which it would happily load, I've tonight followed hkfriend's instructions and they've worked perfectly, exactly as described.

I did initially get the error on the first page about the version of zip, but I was being silly and using files I'd got from other threads, once I followed the instructions literally it was ok - including getting the android sdk and the prerequisite java sdk - tbh I'd been assumed the adb stuff was executed on the phone using an app, which I knew I couldn't do because you can't run any new apps in safe mode.

Now I may half regret not getting my scratched up desire replaced by the insurance company, but thanks very much hkfriends :)
[Desire Android Development] LuMilaniS:
I think that I'm having the same problem.

After OTA upgrade to Froyo 2.2, now I have hboot 0.93 on my amoled version of Desire.

Phone is rebooting everytime I press standby buttom (leaving or going to stand-by mode).

On power on, phone always goes to Safe mode. To boot normal, I always have to hold Volume Up and Home buttom simultaneously..

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
[Desire Android Development] deadmonkey:
Well as I say my issue was solved by downgrading in accordance with hkfriend's instructions at the top of the thread, so it will depend how serious/annoying you find your problem. In my case the phone had become unusable and this was the only one of half a dozen recovery actions which helped with my problems.

I haven't attempted an upgrade since that point and to be honest I don't know whether it would now be better to go down the root or ota route, so I think I may wait for a few days first and just enjoy having a working phone :)

I got Hboot .93 & I had installed 2.2 OTA update from HTC when it came for a long tiome ago.

So you mean it should work with revolutionary?

Is it a 2.2 ROM? If so, I do not believe Wireless Tether will work any longer (at least without just being ad-hoc). You do have options if you still want tethering for free. I don't have a direct link but you should be able to find something by searching. It has to do with modifying a value in the phones ##778 configuration settings.

After I did he market place lag fix I found my battery drained a little more than usual. I downloaded a program called

memory task cleaner

. This will also allow you to set auto kill on apps you dont want always running n the back ground. simply add as many programs as you dont use or want in the back ground running to the auto kill list. Set the safety level to medium in options in auto kill screen. also set intervals of auto kill to every 2 minutes. auto kill when screen off as well.

There you go. You should notice the phone is back to normal with the battery life as well as if your like me, no need for tee nav or blutooth and things like that you will notice the battery may even last longer.

Let me know your results. Settings so fourth.

By the way there will be plenty to auto kil. the galaxy s runs alot of programs all the time for no reason.;)
