[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] David Balfour:
you cant just take a desire build and make an ext2 and hope it will work. You need to port all the correct drivers,firmware other modules. Dont ask me what though i dont know and no one seems to be sharing.

Also @Hatefly http://ss64.com/bash/

hope that helps
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stephen:
Yes I have tried the desire build and sofar it does not boot. I am getting furhter and getting android to load.

I am using kitchen to extract the image file and then using the genext2fs -d /home/[USERNAME]/Desktop/[FOLDER] -b 307200 system.ext2 to create the ext2 file its self. I will play arround with the desire build and see if I can get it working. If I can I will be sure to share the procedure :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RichmondoUK:
i chmod 777 the complete set of folders and build prop prior to making it a ext2. see if it helps everyone else

lol :D the Hero thread is dying down now :p so i have to find other forums to keep me busy till gingerbread comes out with a new phone for me :D :p but i like it here on o.t :p :D
[Off-topic] lonelykatana:
I have done the exact same thing.

I've not been on the HTC HD2 forum for so long, I noticed two new versions of android builds are out! haha
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Butzacooky:
So I'm sure that many people know about the leaks going around about the MyTouch HD. It's said to come out on Nov. 3rd.

Now seeing that this phone is in the line of MyTouches, and all of the MyTouches are guaranteed an official upgrade to 2.2, I personally believe that we will get the OTA somewhere very close to that date.

But that's just me, maybe I'm wrong, what do you all think?

Maybe the MyTouch HD will get Gingerbread/Honeycomb instead of Froyo (lets keep our hopes high for T-Mobile :])?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mylostlonelysoul:
HD is said to come with 2.2 but gingerbread/honeycomb are a possibility in the future.

Since the HD is running stock of course it will be on there, not sure about mytouch slide gettting it around that date tho but that would be great. Been enough time to implant espresso into Froyo. (Fropresso?) So possible yes. The normal mytouch better not get it before the slide. Just not cool >_>

GO FROPRESSO!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
Love the humor. But yes, android is deff a hobby only for me. Work 12 hrs a day and come home to a pregnant wife, dont think i have too much time to be wasting on here but i do keep up to date unlike crabby pants.

To get back on top, i think that is quite logical. To release froyo to the mytouch line shortly after the release of the latest mytouch is business smart. I say they make us wait a month or so after the release date of mytouch hd. I do think it will be some time before we see gingerbread on any handsets anywhere.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] egzthunder1:
I did a bit of purging of the arguing posts. Please keep the thread on topic and avoid flaming. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Actually everyone says the mytouch hd is tunning expresso, because of the genius button, and I believe you are right, if not maybe around after the g2 is released or around when the mytouch hd is released, look
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Myabe the mytouch 3g will get froyo first it is stock android, and easier to implement

[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
The mytouch hd is confirmed to have 2.2. It really looks like the phone the slide should have been

[myTouch 3G Slide General] daewond3r:
So a couple of weeks ago, my gf got mad at me because she sent me a nice "good night" text and I didn't reply. I apologized and told her I didn't get anything. She got over it.

Tuesday night, it happened again. Then the night after that. Then last night again. I called a couple of friends that I text with often, asked them if they had waited for replies from me recently and got nothing--4 of them said yes and recited their last texts to me. Not one of them I received.

I just got off the phone with tech support--the "specialized" Android support to be specific. She asked if the msgs in question were MMS, and I said no. Then she asked if I had trouble with voice calls, and I said no. The she explained to me that SMS is delivered the same way as a voice call and that if I have problems with SMS, I should be having voice call trouble as well. Then she asks how often I delete my msgs. I tell her, at most, once or twice a month. Then she tells me that I should be cleaning out msgs EVERY DAY and that "Android devices can't handle having more than 40-50 msgs at a time without causing trouble for the software and the handset." Not even THREADS, but singular text msgs.

Are you freakin' serious? I paid $350 for a "smartphone" with a plan that costs $100 a month, and I can't keep more than 40 msgs on my phone without running the risk of me missing a few here and there? And since when did this come about? I had a G1 where I could flick 3 times to scroll through my inbox of texts. I've had 20-30 THREADS on my Slide before and only started having problems a couple weeks ago. What about June and July?

Sorry, this is turning into a rant--mostly just to vent, but maybe, just maybe someone else might have an explanation for while some msgs get through and some don't. Hell, I'd feel better just knowing I'm not the only one going through this.

I've been planning to ditch my Slide for the November phone (hopefully a myTouch HD/Desire HD like device), but what's the point when I'm gonna be subject to spotty textroulette.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nomadrider123:
I have hundreds of text messages on my phone at any one time
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dilucid_rudoff:
It is rare to find someone who knows anything of use about Android working at TMO. I'm on my 2nd Android handset and I regularly have 100+ texts in my threads...never had a problem. Are all your friends on Sprint? They have terrible time receiving and sending SMS.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ellessidil:
The tech who told you that, to be blunt, was lying. Intentionally or not is another question, but the statement she gave you is entirely untrue.

I have threads with THOUSANDS of messages in them, and probably about 30 threads with a few hundred each, and never had any issues.

What application do you use for text messages?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] PcFish:
TMo Customer service is the absolute worst. Everyone tells you something different, It took us about 3 weeks to clear up everything with our slides. They made us return our phones just to buy the same exact ones again under another plan, and cancel the other plan. After this, 3G wasn't applying on the phones, so they made us mail the phones in this time to get new ones sent back and to change our plan yet again. Plus side of their stupidity is they forgot to cancel the rebates of the original phones and we got $400 back lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] SefEXE:
I've had thousands as well.

My only problem was slowdown, so now I clear any over like 500.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] daewond3r:
My gf is on Tmo, a friend on Verizon, another on Sprint, and 2 with iPhones. My phone seems to be equal opportunity when it comes to text denial.

So have I, on my G1 and my Slide. I knew it wasn't true. I guess these ppl are just used to dealing with folks that don't know any better and trust them to be the end-all authority on what's wrong with their phone. She asked me to power down my phone and then proceeded to tell me how to do it, explaining where the power button is and to hold it down for 2 seconds... SMH.

I use ChompSMS but I doubt that matters. I checked the default Messaging app when I was suspicious of the missed msgs and they weren't there either.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] slughappy1:
I've never deleted any sms from my phone. I have put several ROMs on it, so they get deleted that way. Simply because I am too lazy to back them up and then restore them. I used to have problems sending texts to people on Verizon. They just simply wouldn't go through. After switching to the Slide though, I haven't had any problems at all with sms.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] twiztidnutzzzzz:
I have never had to delete messages either. However as of late it might take two tries to send a message. Tmo has treated me well. I think the person you spoke with didn't know there @ss from a hole in the ground.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] daewond3r:
I've noticed that I have to try and send msgs twice lately too.

I've loved T-Mobile for a while. Never had anything bad to say. I've been a customer since they were Voicestream (in HI anyway). I just hate getting lame ass answers. I know majority of the Android customers are probably clueless and will believe what they're told by "tech support," but giving BS answers doesn't help anyone and only pisses off the ppl who actually know about what their phones are capable of.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rboone18:
I had sms sending problem until I switched to cm6, half of mine failed to send and then some people said they got two when I hit resend
[myTouch 3G Slide General] stoneyjonez:
Damn I hate having to hear about all these bad experiences with Tmo tech care cuz I work there lol. Bottom line: that idiot woman who told you you can't have more than 50 messages is a complete moron who has never owned an Android phone before in her life. I work in tech care and have seen people with over 3000 messages on their G1 before they even see a force close error. This lady was a moron, clearly. Not only that, but she definitely didn't follow Tmobile's troubleshooting steps either. It definitely sounds like she just wanted to get off the call quickly. Again, it sucks cuz I have to deal with pissed off customers like yourself everyday, and most are pissed because of other reps who don't know jack **** about these phones. Honestly I don't understand it, there are these dumbasses who work around these awesome Android phones all day long and still somehow think their Blackberry Bold is superior. That's the kind of douchebag woman you talked to hehe.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] daewond3r:
So this problem carried on throughout the weekend. Botched a lot of plans that I was trying to make Sunday and yesterday. Really, really annoyed at this point.

stoney: Any chance you have a better answer? I'm really thinking about leaving T-Mo if this continues. I don't want to but I can't keep paying $100/month for hit or miss texts and customer service that gives me the runaround.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] donepate:
I quit T-Mo about six months ago due to my bosses wanting me to sell the phone and move on to the next customer. T-Mobile is like just about any other company. They only worry about their bottom line. I was tech support for my store because I actually had an answer most of the time. 20 phone calls on your day off can really piss of your wife. The only thing we used tech support for is if we had a unit that had to be replaced. In three years, I never met a tech rep that could answer a question I had. They read from a monitor. They enter your question, it runs through some procedures, and if it does not work, they make up an answer, or exchange the unit. Sad but true. Don't ask T-Mo a question if you need a GOOD answer.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nikmash232:
I've been having these sms problems too. I got a couple sms dropped so I guess I should off the stock rom.
[General Questions and Answers] shinigamie49:
Hello everybody,

I am nothing short of new to the world of rooting phones and using new roms and so to no surprise of mine, i am facing an issue when i install DamageRom V3.1.x

I have the latest rooting software for my phone and i have also partitioned my sd card in order to accommodate App2SD.

I was recently using DamageControl V2.x without any major issues but i thought i'd give the new version a try so i wiped everything, including my SD card and when i try to install this new version i get the following error:

Copying files...

E: Can't symlink /system/xbin[

E: Failure at line 12:

Installation aborted

I have searched everywhere i could and so now i come to you guys hoping for someone to show me the way.

So apperently, according to a different forum (can't post the link apparently), the problem occurs because i ran out of space on the system partition

I did try whatever they've advised; however it did not do it for me

Thanks for the help and thank you Damage for your excellent roms, i just wish i were apt to use them properly :)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigred76:
So, I decided to do S-Off and get the official OTA. I used the guide in the Developers/General forum (I forget which one), and everything was fine for the last couple days. Today, I noticed my pocket with my phone was getting warm, so I pulled it out and noted that the sync icon was going and data was going up and down. I figured it was normal, so I put it back into my pocket. I got back home and started perusing XDA to see if anyone else was having this problem, battery at 36% (about 6hrs since I took it off the charger from last night). 15-20 minutes later and I got my 9% battery warning. I did nothing but cruise straight to XDA with it. I hooked my phone up to my USB cord that I always have on my PC, set it to charge only, and went back downstairs to do some things.

15 minutes later I came up to check on it, and it still was at 9% battery! I turned it off and left it off for about 15 minutes before rebooting. It had gone up to 26% battery, I figured that was just fine since at least it was still taking a charge and I left it on. I went outside and washed the car, which took about an hour and 15 minutes (had a massive amount of sap on it and I needed a few smoke breaks). Battery is still at 26%.

Could this be the stock ROM I installed (properly, and exactly as the instructions said to) messing up, or am I getting the OTA?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveCNewton:
Ok so I'm thinking about installing a new ROM to my HD2.

Just want clarification on a couple of things im unsure of!

1) Is there anyway to store all of my contacts easily so that after my hard reset i can just plug my phone into the PC and have them all back again (Noob-ish i know but i've not had the phone long!!)

2)After installing the ROM, will i still be able to have my contacts linked with their facebook accounts? (I thought it was a pretty nifty feature which i would mind losing!)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try PIM backup. It has worked well for me and its free.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
if you have ms outlook, then its perfect for contacts and calendar syncing.

Also ms myphone, and i think gmail will sync contacts.

facebook - yes, it stores their facebook id (and also your favourites tab people) data in the notes field of the contact.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
It seems tha the Epic is missing a few live wallpapers like blue sea, aroua, magic smoke, and nexus.

I was able to install blue sea and auroua through the market but don't know how to get the nexus one or magic smoke live papers. Any help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
the nexus one is on the amrket i think its called nexus revamped?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
That one is different than the stock "nexus" live wallpaper that comes pre installed on most new androids like the Vibrant and Fascinate
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
I couldnt find aurora, can u help me out as to the exact name or search word please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] OperationMove:
The Nexus Revamped that is on the market is the easiest solution. And yes it can be exactly like the original nexus with the right settings. Reg nexus background and nexus original colors and transparencies are all options. So yeah it can be customized too but it can also emulate the original nicely.

I don't think I've seen too many people port the original from the nexus anywhere, probably because revamped. Tailors to most ppls wants. Although I remember another that's not any longer supported called "nexus mod" that is another nexus clone.

Also you had it spelled right aurora. Although why want it? Its pretty boring lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
Nexus revamped is even better than the original wallpaper that came on the nexus.

If anyone has Blue Sea and Aurora that can go in /system/apps folder please post a link.Market and kanged versions can only be installed regularly,but i had a version(deleted it accidentally,i think) that can be put in /system/app folder without fc's.

I rooted my phone and removed some of the apps from htc (moved them into a folder on to my sd card JIC) and when I moved Facebook for htc sense I figured I can sync my contacts with the regular app that comes with froyo. I go in to the sync and try to add the account but it will not respond when I click the facebook icon, it just keeps letting me click without doing anything. Is there a way that I can add that sync account?

Also where the hell is the Qik app so I can remove that from my system files as well?

Before the froyo update I had the option to "preview" or "download" for media files, but now it only shows "preview". Tried opening and hitting menu to see if its just buried now.

My question is....if I can find the .apk for the newest version of gmail (from before froyo) and install it on froyo, are there any issues that could possibly arise?

Nope.

Don't think you can (unfortunately). I tried to download a .txt and .zip file and wasn't able to d/l either. I tried everything I could.

The most I could do was preview the .txt.

[General Questions and Answers] bunu:
I currently have a one year contract with T-Mobile. It is going to end on October 11, 2010.

I am wondering if I can get a discount on the a phone (I am hoping to get the T-Mobile G2 or even the Vibrant)

If I can't get a decent discount price off, If I sign up for a brand new 2-yr contract, will I be able to pay the 2-yr plan price (like if I was going to sign up for T-Mobile for the first time.) The G2 will be priced around $200.

Also will I be able to turn my old phone in for a discount also? (My current phone is in my signature. If I can turn it in for a discount, I will put it back to 100% stock.)

Thanks for your answers.

Don't be fooled by T-Mobiles Discounts...

I was hoping to make this it's on thread but for some reason it won't post, came across your thread and saw how it applies to your question, hopefully the info is not to late for you:

I see lots of people in the IRC yesterday morning discussing the price of admission on the T-Mobile G2. Since I can't figure out how to post on the IRC with Android IRC for my G2 I'll post what would have gone there here, in the hopes that I can save a few of you a little money.

Please bear in mind that these are my opinions and there may be something I am missing.

T-Mobiles Contracts are complete and total rubbish when it comes to a phone upgrade, and here's why:

The average difference between a T-mobile contract and corresponding Month to Month plan price for an individual with unlimited Data is $20. With the month to month being the cheaper of the two...

What's $20 buck extra a month for $300 bucks off the phone you ask?

Let me tell you....

@ $20/mo extra for 2 years that is $480, the G2's retail price is $500 uhh you just payed full price for that phone.. but wait there's more:

Add to that $480 the $200 you just spent for your "discounted" upgrade for extending your contract for 2yrs and that cost jumps to $680.

That's nearly $700 bucks for a $500 phone.

Here's the break down....

::::::::::::::::::::::Month to month Costs:::::::::::::::::::

G2 down payment = $200

Interest free financing = $300 over 20 months @ approx $15 per month

Total Phone Cost = $500

::::::::::::::::::::::Month to month Costs:::::::::::::::::::

::::::::::::::::::::::2yr Contract Costs::::::::::::::::::::::

Phone upgrade discounted price = $200

Contract monthly cost Difference = $20/mo. = $480

Total Phone Cost = $680

::::::::::::::::::::::2yr Contract Costs::::::::::::::::::::::

So your reward for being a loyal T-mobile customer and extending your contract for 2 more years is paying full price for the phone + $150.

Doesn't exactly exude the warm and fuzzy feeling of being a valued customer does it?
