[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ichigo786:
Hi, i have ShubCrafts android rom from early august currently on my HD2 and i want to change over to darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1.

I wanted to know if i backed up my apps using titanium backup will it keep all my data from the apps? furthermore can i backup my personal information - sms, contacts, and then restore them in darkstone's rom without any problems.

lastly on the root of my sdcard i have several folders from android apps, Grooveshark, Kindle, Espn score center etc and i wanted to know if i should reformat my sdcard and then place a single android folder on there with the darkstone files, or can i just rename/delete the shubCraft android folder and then just replace it with darkstone's and then run android.

oh one last thing, i wanted to ask how do i go about adding a 1GB data image, i will be trying to use this file - 1GB data.img v1.1 for DarkStone's Froyo v1! - and hopefully it is compatible. Will i just have to boot android for the first time let it create the data image and then replace it with the 1GB file i have downloaded, directly in android or boot back to winmo and then copy/paste it into the android folder.

So sorry for the multitude of questions being asked, any help appreciated.

I am also interested to see if this can be done. I just got a larger MicroSD card and I don't want to have to start from scratch.

Have you tried posting in the shubcraft build thread?

Hmmm. well I used this guide:

However make sure you read mstrk242 post on the 2nd page:

Only problem with this method is that you need linux (you could just use a live cd) and you kinda need to know how to start/use the terminal (which is a bit like cmd/command prompt on windows). But I've found this guide quite straight forward.

Hi,

I have frequently switched between shubcraft and Froyostone so might be able to help. I use Titanium back up.

1. Backup your current build using titanium backup (free on android market)

2. Download and extract your new build. What I also do is download the apk files (from www.freewarelovers.com) of a file manager such as Estrongs as well as Titanium backup and copy them into the 'AndroidApps' folder contained within the new build to be installed. This way they install on first boot and avoids me having to connect to market for their installation.

3. Go to your SD card and remove all your current native android files and folders. Leave folders that belong to your installed apps such as grooveshack, espn etc.

4. Copy your new build onto your SD card and boot.

5. After 1st boot, reboot again by pressing the power button.

6. Work though initial android set up

7. Go to settings>applications> tap 'unknown sources' > ok

8. Open your installed titanium back up. Tap 'backup/restore', Press windows hardkey button, select 'batch'. Scroll down on the list and tap 'restore missing apps + data'.

9. After installation, reboot device

10. Enjoy!!

NB: Froyostone v2. comes with 1GB data already! :D

[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
I'm on holiday at the seaside, with my (at times utterly annoying) girlfriend, and when I get to escape for a couple hours of snorkeling around the coast I miss the opportunity to record videos, and maybe a GPS track of my swimming path, other than obviously having the possibility to make and receive calls, which can be a very useful thing while being alone in the aquatic wilderness.

Anyway, I tried the banal search for "waterproof hd2" on google, and the best I came up with is a "Dry Case" container, no more than a PVC bag with a waterproof sealing, and complimentary waterproof stereo jack and a nice vacuum pump plug to make the device stay put inside the case. Cost, 40USD for two sheets of plastic and some more components of plastic yet. Since there are apparently no waterproof tight "hard cases" (and otrageously expensive at that) like the ones they make for some portable compact cameras, I thought I might as well search for supercheap chinese alternatives on ebay, and there are several alternatives of which this one looks best (or least bad) to me. None of them have a waterproof stereo jack plug (but who's going to listen to music underwater anyway, let alone talk at the phone in the same condition), nor the vacuum pump plug, which instead is a very useful addition in my opinion (yet on the other side, the PVC sheet has more strain by being repeatedly sucked against the device surface and adapting to its borders).

I know the usual reasonable arguments like "why entrusting your multihundred euros device to a couple dollars case", but after all it was HTC itself the first to sell a phone which shipped at 630euro here in italy on the release date (sums up to ~800USD), WITHOUT any lanyard hook, and I am efficiently entrusting the freefall safety of this phone to a virtually zero cost hack with a normal lanyard and some adhesive tape under the metal cover (it saved me from at least 2 falls, both at elbow -thus deadly- height).

I am going to buy such a case anyway, since a couple of euros are not going to kill my finances, and will obviously test it with a nokia 3310 first to make sure, and then with a cheap digital camera, yet I'd like to have your opinions or experiences on this matter, before I can produce them myself, as it will take at least a month before I get my case shipped from China, and maybe a year before I can actually test it in a proper seaside vacation, since this one will be over in a week, and I won't be going elsewhere sea-ish before 2011.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
Up.

The waterproof case came in today, more than 3 weeks later, but I got lucky as the standard shipping time from china to italy is 1 month.

Bottom line: TOO TIGHT!

I cannot even fit in the HD2, I pushed it as I could through the first sealing closure, but when it got to the second sealing closure it stopped, and I fear to either tear the plastic, or excercise too much strngth and have the HD2 be bulleted far away blowing to pieces.

Curious, as the description says it's 15x9cm, while even including the sealed borders, the width of the thing is 8cm.

I thought that the phone in there would have been to instable, on the contrary! Bah. Let's see in the seller will give me a refund or something, I couldn't even fit my Coolpix S52 in there.

EDIT: won by the curiosity, I pushed away, and the HD2 finally fitted inside. If it wasn't a 2 minutes long procedure each way, the tight fit would be a pro. Anyway, the transparent window thought for the camera lens is too low and partially covers the objective, so only half of the viewport is actually visible, being the other half dark. Overall, still useless, and I somewhat scratched the screen protector while forcing the way out.
[HD2 Accessories] Wdave:
Wait... How will you use your phone underwater?
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
the touch screen works perfectly even with the plastic on it.

The phone underwater? Isn't it cool to track your swimming path with GPS, record videos and take pictures, and be able to make emergency calls should it be needed? And tons of other stuff, too.
[HD2 Accessories] Lindenia:
I'd be surprised if you get a gps fix with even a thin layer of salt water above your telephone.
[HD2 Accessories] azlan96:
you cant get GPS signal inside water, I watched a YouTube video on a waterproof Garmin device when it was put in the water, it lost all GPS satellites

hello ,

i have a otterbox 1900 , it s full waterproof and Shockproof .

i sell it with VTT support : http://htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz/...tt-moto-otterbox-etanche-resistant-t27426.htm

the normal price for it is 120 euros , i sell it for 60 without shipping .

mail : benjamin.montagut@live.fr
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
this changes things, as GPS was one of the main reasons to bring the phone with me while at sea. I mean, not the only one, as recording underwater videos still rocks, and GSM signal should be available underwater too (I don't do scuba, just your ordinary 4-5m occasional dives while holding my breath). Anyway, I'd be snorkeling on top on the water most of the time.

Anyway, I'll look into it more.

that's an interesting price indeed, even if I wouldn't be able to quite use the phone at its best with that. I am not the extreme bike-hike kind of guy, so the phone wouldn't be really in the risk of being dropped, I just would like to be able to use GSM, GPS (ok maybe not that one in light of what it's bene said here) and especially camera while underwater. Portability is not a big issue and the bulky size of the otterbox is not the matter, but I am not too sure otterbox can work up to 10mt underwater, rather than being just "splashes or 10cm waterproof", and what's more important, the back is not transparent so I woudln't be able to record videos :(

Would it have been otherwise, you would have found a potential buyer
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
With a huge delay of about 42 days, the last one of the waterproof cases I ordered arrived, it's the last one linked from the first post, and it finally keep its promises regarding the sizes, it's indeed very large, and the transparent rear window is perfect to have the HD2 record the video; you can use the phone with a protective film and the waterproof case on it, just make sure the case plastic is well adhered on the proximity sensor or it will trigger it (I have S2U2 set to turn off display on proximity active).

I will be testing the case at home leaving it underwater for some time, and after that I will probably publish a review on my website ;)
[HD2 Accessories] bradtreadwell1900:
Interested

I, too, am pursuing a similar case primarily for canoeing. I own the Otterbox Defender case which serves its purpose very well but is not waterproof. Currently, I have to move it in and out of my larger dry bag when I want to use it. I found the otterbox 1900 for $25, but it will not allow me to shoot video without removing the case. You are not the only one out there looking for a solution. I look forward to reading your results.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
Thanks for stirring up this surprisingly lazy thread, I would imagine shooting videos underwater or carelessly at the seaside would be of more interest to a lot of people :D

Anyway I tested the second case, and DAM, water came inside :(

This is my test setup:

put a piece of toilet paper inside the pouch

close the pouch seals

fill a bucket with water

station the case at the bottom of the bucket with a weight on it to keep it down

wait at least 24hrs, the more the better

take out the case and check the toilet paper for moisture

The very first case stayed succesfully underwater for 3 days and no water whatsoeger came in (but it was too small for the hd2 anyway, so doesn't matter), while I decided to test the second one in harder conditions: closed the seals without folding them in and close the velcro... water almost filled the case. I was disappointed, this shouldn't have happened as the velcro is there just for conveniency and has no sealing capabilities; so I tested again, more careful to close the seals (which are somewhat harder to fit than in the first case) and then closed the velcro... stayed under for alittle more than a day, but a few drops of water came in... contacted the seller, got a refund. I bought another identical case with the promise that they will check it before shipping, chinese sellers are the best :p
[HD2 Accessories] bradtreadwell1900:
Solution

I look forward to hearing the solution if a suitable one is found. Good luck.
[HD2 Accessories] the-wrangler:
I'd love a good case for canoeing as well. let us know if you find anything, and thanks for sharing so far!
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
I have the second case STILL on the way, anyway I checked better the first one, and it actually works :-|

I apparently asked for a refund on a working item... anyway it IS hard to make working, as the sealing lines must be thoroughly pressed and you've got to make sure there is nothing left open especially on the extremities. A simple way to check if you closed it well is to leave it slightly bulgind with air inside, and try to squeeze it, if you cannot hear air flowing out it's fine to go. In fact, after checking no air cameout, I sent it under the bucket for another test run for 2-3 days, and no water came in.

I suppose the most delicate moment is when you take the phone OUT of the case, as the water drops still hanging around the rims may wet it.

If me and my gf last long enough for me to go at hers at the beautiful seaside of southern Italy, I should be testing it snorkeling this next summer ;)
[HD2 Accessories] a13x4nd3r:
i use some general transparent plastic bag. it does its job very well, put the hd2 in, tie the plastic up, and ready to go!!

one thing

-the touch screen don't work underwater

-there is no signal underwater

-water is very good cooler, the batt cover get cool as soon as you use the hd2 underwater
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
heh's that's surely bold of you :D

I mean, that works as long as the plastic bag has no holes, I just would be scared of it being teared apart on the rocks or random garbage floating around when you're snorkeling.

Regarding the touch screen, I never tried it myself, yet the screen does work when inside the thik waterproof case I bought, and in several occasions I got to using the touchscreen with very wet fingers, effectively activating it with a thin layer of water under my skin, so well, if actually the touchscreen doesn't work underwater, that's going to be a huge problem as I need that mostly to shoot videos :p
[HD2 Accessories] a13x4nd3r:
just be brave and optimistic, if you are to scared you can just double or triple the plastic bag, as the plastic bag is transparent.

i havent been to beach since i have my hd2, i just try it at bathub in my home, the touch screen don't work at all, so if you want to stop recording you have to pull the phone up and press the stop button
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
thanks alexander, your input has been dramatically useful, really.

It's so obvious that I never actually thought of it, it's the cheapest of the solutions ever, and especially for me since my mother keeps stacking tons of transparent food plastic bags wherver she finds available space :D

Obviously with a simple plastic bag you don't get a re-useable case, as untightening the knot everytime makes it prone to get teared, and you don't get a lanyard because I don't see how you could attach one on a plastic bag in a satisfasctory safe manner, yet it's free VS paid, and you can't beat that :p
[HD2 Accessories] Airborne Aircrew:
A word of warning with taking stuff in "sealed" containers into water. Those little free dives you do down 5-6 feet are one of the larger changes in pressure your container will experience so testing it in 6" water in a bath is nothing like the pressure it will experience at 6'.

Secondly, most "sealed" containers are fine at static pressures but fail when they encounter dynamic pressures such as when you jump from the back of a boat or off a jetty so be careful to make entry to the water as gently as possible unless the container is rated for depths greater than 3 atmospheres, (100')...

Yes, I'm a diver... :D
[HD2 Accessories] agentaaron:
If you go to most large discount stores (Wal-Mart in my case)...look for a vacuum food sealer.

The kit comes with different sized bags (which can also be cut down to various sizes) and a countertop vacuum sealer unit.

Place your phone in one of the bags and cut it to size leaving a good 2" of room around each side, then just vacuum seal it. The phone works perfect and the bags are meant for freezer storage...so they are pretty thick and the unit makes an air tight seal :)

If you want, you can even punch a hole in one (or two) of the outside corners (outside the seal of course) and attach a string (or lanyard..shoelace..whatever) so you can wear your phone around your neck.

We have a swimming pool in our back yard and I have used my phone in the pool using these. I usually always do this to my HD2 and my wifes Vibrant when we are in the back yard with a lot of people (never know when a kid is going to go under, or a drunk friend is going to try and push you in)

I got the idea when we went to SeaWorld and saw a kiosk where they were charging people $15.00 to do this to their phones.

As the poster above me says to be a diver...im not going to argue with him at all, our pool only goes to 4-1/2 feet deep. so I would probably listen to him about the depth preasure information...but if you are just hanging out on the beach or in very shallow water, its a great way to keep your phone dry and still be able to use it.

Cheers
[HD2 Accessories] a13x4nd3r:
what i scared when diving is the screen crack, i think the plastic won't break if you get all the gas out, but i think the screen does. it's the same when you push the hd2 with the pressure on the screen
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
I went ahead and tested the waterproof plastic case as in the opening thread while on vacation.

This is the result:

[YOUTUBE]_IwOzRN1FbE[/YOUTUBE]

After some minutes water got in the "intermediate" space between the two sealing zippers, but couldn't squeeze in the phone chamber (I could see water inside the internal space of the inner zipper though, and that's why I finally stopped filming and got out :p)

Focus seems "alright", touchscreen is totally fubar and salt water triggers all kinds of false contacts, so you have to start the recording outside the water and then dive in, hoping that no random touch events triggered by the water actually press on the "stop recording" button.

Condensation marks can be seen on the inside of the bag, but no big deal for the phone, which did its job wonderfully.

Bottomline, the bag I used is not 100% watertight; I didn't even dive the phone more than 2-3 feet at every time (just a couple of seconds under 5 feet), but still, it's great to film those wonderful lively activity right below the surface on those rocky sea-floors, keeping in mind the autonomy before the phone risks flooding is maybe 30 minutes.
[HD2 Accessories] ORiZorrie:
Very nice. I'll take some plastic bags with me on my next holiday. Want to take a cool underwater video myself =D
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
lol wait, that wasn't a plastic bag, but the proper waterproof case I linked from the first post, I wouldn't trust a normal bag with that purpose :|
[HD2 Accessories] ORiZorrie:
Ah, hmm, too bad. It's €35 for a plastic bag (drycase).
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
If by "plastic bag" you meant those commercial waterproof cases then they should be ok, only they're ripping you off at 35€ for a piece of plastic. I paid mine less than 3 euro shipped from China.

Surely drycase has tests behind its back, a sorta vacuum pump and jack audio output, but it's not worth that kind of expense in my opinion.

I say find a decent sample from China and test it at home before using with your phone.
[HD2 Accessories] ORiZorrie:
Can you please post a link? The cheapest ones I find start as of €35. Maybe they don't ship to my country. Dunno.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunal14.arora:
Hi everyone

I got my HD2 an year ago. Its an awesome device and was working fine untill the time I thought of updating the original ROM of the phone. And as there are no official ROM updates in India, so I did this using HardSPL. I update my phone's ROM to "Elegencia GTX - V 2.0 Final WWE". The ROM update was successful. But there were a lot of issues with call reception and sms functionality. The phone use to freeze on receiving any call. On searching a little I found that the issue was the original Radio of my phone which was 2.05.51.05_2 . And so I installed a newer Radio which I downloaded from xda itself. Since then I am facing a lot of problems in the sms functionality of my phone. Now I have tried almost all the updated versions of Radios available in

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787

but all in vain. Some radios does not allow me to send or receive sms to some of my friends and some of them freezes the phone on receiving a phone call. Now I am using Radio version 2.11.50.20, there is no problem in this Radio except for some of my friends says that they receive my single message three times and that too only the first part of the sms. And some times I receive a notification "Unable to send message".

I am not technically an expert, but would like to know the issue with my phone. I really dont want to rollback on the original ROM as I want to know the solution rather than always being in a doubt.

Please help me out in this situation. And also let me know in case you need any other info for your convenience to get a better understanding.

I really hope you will help me out.

Thanks
