[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I'm trying to understand the difference between a rom and a kernel. I read a post a while back that explained it but I forgot the answer and can't find it with search.

Am I understanding this? A kernel is like under the hood, ie the engine. The rom is how it looks and feels. Like putting a 400ci engine in a corvette or put the same engine into a impala. Kinda sorta same engine but different car. The corvette is built for speed and the impala is more for cruising and a lot heavier a car. Do I have this all wrong?
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
A ROM is a complete collection of the operating system (containing the kernel), support software, libraries, drivers, and any additional software. It's like a disk image, except that it is written to a device's flash memory.

A kernel is the operating system's core. It is what allows an operating system to provide core hardware services to software programs. Without this, software would need to be compiled for boostrapping and direct machine execution, and thus only one program could literally run at the same time. A kernel has hardware support as well as management for the CPU stacks and contexts, allowing multiple software components to operate concurrently. Modifying a kernel can often allow the modder to incorporate new features in terms of core driver support, the management of software, and other features. Primarily, it will be about driver/hardware support.
[Epic 4G General] DiNoise:
u got it right... its something like that, but same kernel can have a different effect in different ROMs.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gRoberts:
Hey everyone,

I bought one of the very first desires out on the UK market by buying it sim free.

It had been fine up until the OTA updates started coming through and now my phone randomly restarts or more annoyingly, fails to notify me of sms messages.

I only have JuiceDefender (lite) and APNDroid installed but there are times when I go to compose a message, enable wi-fi, or some other function on my phone and it will hang, then restart.

Everytime an OTA update comes through, I also lose the ability to use my GPS. It takes a few factory resets to get it working again.

Any idea's?

i recently came across this homescreen on the net, any idea if the glass is a widget? if so, what is it please?
[Android Apps and Games] Kilay:
Not sure but it may be a custom icon used with Desktop Visualizer.
[Android Apps and Games] SamouraiXXX:
Unfortunetely it isn't a widget.

This is an icon.

I attached the icons in different formats for you if you want to use 'em.

These are not mine. I think the author is named KolorGuild (don't remember exactely)

Here you go mate
[Android Apps and Games] jl1030:
thanks a lot mate

I soo wish this is a battery widget :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perindopril:
I really need an answer to this question. In my HD2, there is a chance to add people to contacts but only in phone memory while looking at call history. No option to add to sim. I can only add by keeping the number in my mind and add manually in sim.

Basically, wanna click to a number in call history and directly add to sim contacts. How can i achieve this? Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
cant do it without adding it you your phones 'people' list too. but you can do it in around 10 seconds

press the small square icon at the right end of the call history entry, then menu - save to people - new contact, fill in details - done - then menu - save contact to sim - then when sim completes saving hit menu - delete contact to delete the people entry, and leave the contact in sim only.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perindopril:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Keefo:
Yo all!

Did abit of searching but didnt find much info...

i went to HTC's website to download HTC Sync, and i went to get the latest 3.0 version, typed in my Serial No. and it accepted it...

But it wont actually sync with my Hero running Froydvillain.

I take it its not actually supported even though it accepted my SN?

Or if it is, please anyone shed some light haha

Im running Win7 64bit.

cheers

Keith
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brat.haneq:
htc sync should work with sense UI roms.

froyd doesn't have sense.

So sory, it won't work ;)

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Keefo:
blahhhh!!

i want the pretty Sync! haha

back to the old version then...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brat.haneq:
I'm using rcmix 2.2.

works ok with htc sync. I heard also some news, that VR12 doesn't exactly work with sync, but haven't tested it .

hope that helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Keefo:
ok... this is annoying now... lol

Now it will not install the Drivers for the hero...

I downloaded the HTC Hero 64bit drivers from here...

http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/HTC-Hero-Drivers-Download-81097.html

which are the ones im sure i used many times before, and when i try to install the drivers it just says noooooo!! ARGH
[Hero, G2 Touch General] liljom:
where should I copy the files from the zip?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Use device manager to select the extracted drivers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
DO NOT USE THESE DRIVERS! They are old and don't really work all that well, they were hacked together (quite well) but in the latest HTC Sync's (both 2.0.40 and 3.0.*) HTC have included proper 64-bit drivers. Use them as they include ADB support out of the box instead of having to switch every 5 minutes.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Hey guys

So I installed swiftkey to try out a new keyboard and I did not like. So I uninstalled it. Bit now I have different keyboard. Its not the original Desire stock one. How do I select the original keyboard?

Thanks all!
[Desire General] Deleted member 2496007:
Not sure how that's happened or how to change it if the settings "language & keyboard" menu doesn't change it back (sorry), just thought I'd mention that if you didn't like swiftkey, give Ultra keyboard a go. It's fantastic.

My swype beta recently expired, and after searching for alternatives I came across this one. So much better than swype. You can customize practically everything. You can change it's skin too, and all the free skins on the market place for the "better keyboard" also work!

There is a trial period before you pay for it, but trust me it's well worth it.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Thanks. However my country doesn't support paid apps.
[Desire General] copex:
try a long press in a txt area and see what pops up.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
I installed ultra keyboard anyway and while installing it showed me how to change the keyboard. Back on the stick one now!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlysafonne:
I have searched for about 4 days just for instructions on this eng-spl,and im probably going to get told to read more for posting this question.Basically when i try to install a splash screen i get this error.

sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY [ 0.355s]

writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.356s

And when i did some research it seems you have to have a ENG-SPL or something to have advanced fastboot access.

I followed the tut guide on how to root 2.2

and afterwards i flashed the latest fresh rom.i didnt follow any other instructions because my second evo came with 2.2

i just need to know how to install this ENG spl on the fresh rom , or if some one can tell me how i can change the splash image from the rom so i can just re flash the rom when i want a new splash screen,or if i can sign a splash screen so i can flash it thanks.Thanks alot.

[Windows Phone 7 General] adrian_nene16:
here it is he hd7 that a lot of people have been waiting for!

i got this from wmpoweruser & engadget enjoy, do you like the design or not?

what about the 8gb internal memory?? is this a prototype? Hope so

[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
Essentially a retooled Supersonic/EVO. At least on the outside.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
buzzer noise

a retooled hd2 but 4.3 in screen I'm loving it but if it looks the same dows it mean it has the same specs? further is this the thing we've been waiting for to run wp7 on the hd2?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The.Clone:
I would like to see ...

real pictures of the device, specifications (committed) with dualcore snapdragon and at least 16gb flash memory ... and a link to pre-order
[Windows Phone 7 General] mjordan79:
Looks very similar to the HD2, and this is a good thing, considering that (for me) the HD2 is one of the most beautiful phones in the market. Let's hope for good specs also.

But I think I will skip Windows Phone 7, really. I don't like the Metro UI, too minimal for my tastes and it wastes a lot of screen real-estate in the home. Also I'm not very fond of C# as a language / platform. I really prefer Java. And I don't know if I could survive with the new limitations the system gives. I have always loved Windows Mobile for its flexibility and, for me, Windows Phone 7 could be the new iPhone competitor, but not the right upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5.

When I look at a phone operating system, I look at:

1) Flexibility.

2) Feature rich.

3) Opennes.

4) C/C++/Java support.

Actually, only Symbian^3 seems to achieve these 4 goals (with an eye to Meego). Other systems seems to be developed with the casual user in mind, Android included. I'll wait patiently for Windows Phone 8 hoping for a new level of flexibility, expecially in programming support. I don't want to be forced in using proprietary tools / platforms and, in 2011 and over, I really hope Microsoft will pay a f*ucking license for Java Embedded. Really good news from the JavaOne this year.

Quick question, what phone was the hd6?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gaijin1%:
too bad

Beautiful hardware. Too bad it's so locked down, limmited and crippled by WiPhone7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wixxer:
It is very much the Desire HD. By the way... I called my local O2 Dealer here in Germany. He told me that the HD7 will very likely have the specifications as the Desire HD.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
You're an idiot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Martice:
From a tweakers point of view it is and I agree. From a casual users point of view it is far from being crippled as you so dramatically put it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
there is no HD6, this is basically the HD3, they named it HD7 because it is running WP7, so they gave it the 7 to match
[Windows Phone 7 General] dalethefarmer:
This guy's talking like he's been using WP7 for a long time and is actually able to compare the lockdown'endes of this operating system... What OS would you like to free this phone with Marty McFly?

The comments on here make me just shake my head sometimes...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jaxbot:
Actually, it is indeed a real Windows Phone 7 (though it looks a lot like the HD2/Desire HD):

http://windowsphone7central.com/pages/index.php/htchd7

And it is titled the HD3 on that device, but it may be a carrier branding preference.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
Why did they give it the 8250 and not the newer 8255 like the Desire HD?!?!?!?!? The rumors must be wrong, giving a device with the greatest gaming capabilities an old crap 8250 when there is a much better 8255 is retarded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
Considering that WP7 appears to run much faster than Android on comparitive hardware (thanks to not having Sense and all other sorts of HTC's UI "enhancements"), do you really need anything more powerful than a Snapdragon?

I'm more worried about the 8 GB of internal memory
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
I dont want the extraa CPU power, I want the 4x better GPU and lower power consumption.

Graphics on adroid are the same as on wp7, which means Adreno 200 is still crap compared to adreno 205.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adrian_nene16:
well, im worried about the 8gb internal memory too, but maybe this is a prototype so.. i prefer to wait a couple of more days and lets see what happens, hopefully it has 16gb or maybe there two models of the hd3? 8gb and 16gb? i dont know. We just have to wait.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yeah, the 8GB is a joke. Also, I hate seeing the kickstand. It seems practical at first, but it will quickly loosen up and start rattling.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wixxer:
I don't expect MS to throw a device on the market with only 8 GB of internal memory. With a navigation software, some pictures and music it would soon run out of necessary memory. If the HD7 will have the same specifications like the Desire HD, it could be that it its not the actual successor of the HD2. The HD2 was state of the art as out was released almost a year ago and the very first device to truly compete with the iPhone. The successor of the HD2 should also fulfil those expectations.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wixxer:
I mean HTC
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ruudfood:

Exactly, the HD2 was state of the art, and this is the exact thing, where you'd expect a new state of the art unit.

WOW! Seems like you're slowly going back on all the points you're making with all these edits to your post. about your no.2, I don't see how that's a bad thing.

[Windows Phone 7 General] adrian_nene16:
I think we all expected more about this phone.. I personally did, but i dont know what happen, hd3 barely have improves, what we get on the hd3 we got it on the hd2.. im not disspointed but i am sad, i was really excited i was expecting more,seriously i feel like this phone shouldnt be called hd3, ill just wait and see how it performs maybe i end it up liking it who knows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Seems pretty underpowered in terms of memory and processor for a debut phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mjordan79:
Ok, but...

Microsoft told us HD2 users we cannot upgrade to Windows Phone 7 for hardware reasons.

Now HTC releases a phone that is completely identical in specs to the HD2 and runs Windows Phone 7 ...

So what's the difference from the previous generation? 2 button less? :D

I agree that the 8255 would have been a better option, considering the phone is new. I'll stick with my HD2 for sure. It still gives me great satisfaction.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mantis123:
I agree. There is no much differences betwee HD2 and HD7? Why can't HD2 upgraded to WP7?/ I will still use HD2. :cool:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] septah:
Hello, my first post here. Got desire couple of weeks ago and everything worked perfectly, I'm really happy with phone but few days ago I rooted it and put LeeDroid rom. Everything works fine except I can't connet to mobile internet. I checked APN setting and noticed they are changed, default APN is o2 Internet.

I don't even know what o2 is, as my default is Tele2 (croatian). Tried to add new APN, tele2, I input all the right settings but when I save it its not in the list. I tried changing o2 with tele2 settings but its same like when I make new APN, its not in the list.

It really bothers me as I use internet alot and I'm not always near wifi. Is there any solution to this?

I read somewhere it could be solved by manualy changing files on sdcard, is there any easier way like some kind of a fix or this is the only way (if it can be done like that ofc)?

Seems that the problem of disappearing was related to me changing MCC to 000 and MNC to 00 it makes it disappear for some reason.

But sending mms still doesn't work and all the fixes I saw was for US celluar. Here I have a small carrier called bluegrass celluar, I was able to get my APN settings though. They didn't seem to work :mad:

I have done both methods and rooting has worked out better for me. Better performance and better battery life. Also, as I said, you can easily re-enable non-market apps. AT&T is a newer OS build than all the others. Once you remove all the bloatware the phone is much faster.

You have to use ADB from your PC to install this apk and then you can run it to root your phone.
