Hello Fellow HTC HD2 Owners!

I have a T-Mobile HTC HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 on Sense. I am looking for a free navigation program with voice, can anyone help me? I am sick of my friends with Android making fun of me because I have to pay to use mine. Please help!

If so, please give me step by step instructions on how I can get it and install it.

Thank you!

Try Navit

You may want to try Navit.

This is 100% free, available offline, working quite good, but not 100% realible yet, i. e. routing over 700 km requires a lot of free memory.

The map is great and very detailed (at least for Germany).

See also the installation guide for the HTC Touch (in German though).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] snovvman:
With all the software offering indicators, services, shortcuts, etc. pinned to the notification bar, it quickly runs out of room. Many apps default to, or does not allow the removal of icons from the status bar.

Is there such application that allows for some sort of management or modification of the notification bar?

It would be nice to keep certain icons from displaying, or making the bar twice the height, or allow some sort of scrolling.

Anything?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] samir5421:
scrolling is already available.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] snovvman:
Thanks. Are you talking about lateral scrolling? Will you please point the way?

Cheers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kjhadfield:
I think he means scrolling is native, as in you could do it already with what you have.

Maybe check out smart bar, you might find use full
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] snovvman:
I see. I was looking for enhancements beyond what is stock. I did find Smart Bar, but it does not alter the behavior or capabilties of the status bar--it only adds items to it.

My status bar is crowded as it is, I was looking for something that will modify the behavior of the bar.

Thanks.

Hi All

This is my first visit for years since owning an original XDA so I am not up to speed and would appreciate some expert guidance if you would be so kind.

I have just bought an HTC Desire and have several questions :-

a) it is an Orange branded HTC Desire bought of eBay which I have now unlocked but it still has all of the horrible Orange branding. I am running the current great Tesco deal (£10 pm, 500 any minutes, unlimited internet (500mb AU) so running costs will be low

I still have access to an Orange PAYG sim

Question : Can I use (Insert) the Orange SIM when (if :rolleyes:) Orange roll out their OTA update to Froyo to update the handset ???;

b) Question : Do Tesco operate any OTA updates and , if so, will they ignore my "Orange" HTC ?

c) Can I debrand the Orange and, if so, can I then use any HTC OTA updates ?

d) If I can do c) above, how would I go about getting the HTC update;

e) If I debrand and root the HTC, presumably it can no longer update via OTC so how would I then perform future updates:

f) I have great admiration for the makers of the various custom roms currently out for Froyo but really worried about bricking the phone so I am really regarding flashing the firmware as a last resort - if I do have to bite this bullet, can someone point me to the best "idiots guide" ?

Really sorry for the barrage of questions but I would appreciate any guidance you can give

Thanks to you all

Moved to HTC Desire area. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
a) SIM card shouldn't be relevant as the update is rolled out by HTC and it checks the software version running on the unit

b) No they don't

c) Yes you can, using a gold card, and you can then get all HTC updates when available (still using your gold card)

d) It'll be automatic once debranded

e) If you root you can update OTA BUT you lose root

f) so long as you follow the guides on here you'll be fine

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippyioa:
Hi freebooter,

I have answered each of your questions below.

Question : Can I use (Insert) the Orange SIM when (if ) Orange roll out their OTA update to Froyo to update the handset ?

You shouldn't need to, the phone will look for the updates, not the sim card. When Orange release their update, it won't matter what SIM you are using.

b) Question : Do Tesco operate any OTA updates and , if so, will they ignore my "Orange" HTC ?

It will be Orange who supply your update, unless you debrand and flash a HTC or custom ROM.

c) Can I debrand the Orange and, if so, can I then use any HTC OTA updates ?

Yes, look in the development forum, and read the first few sticky posts.

d) If I can do c) above, how would I go about getting the HTC update;

The phone would notify you

e) If I debrand and root the HTC, presumably it can no longer update via OTC so how would I then perform future updates:

If you do that, you won't get the Orange update, but you should get the htc ones. Bear in kind some networks may not honourhonour your warranty if you debrand/flash a new ROM.

f) I have great admiration for the makers of the various custom roms currently out for Froyo but really worried about bricking the phone so I am really regarding flashing the firmware as a last resort - if I do have to bite this bullet, can someone point me to the best "idiots guide" ?

Again, look say the first few posts in the development forum....

I hope the answers help, please feel free to ask more if you are unsure.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebooter99:
Thanks Zippyioa - your reply is very helpful and has given me more confidence to try to get rid of the Orange bloatware

I am still a little confused about the huge range of roms available to download and a bit nervous about trying a customsied rom so can you recommend a good up to date rom that will put me on the HTC OTA upgrade path ?

(By the way, how are things in Stratford ? I used to live just up the road in Hockley Heath)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
You won't need to root if you want to intend your desire. You just need need to create a goldcard. Guides in the developers forum. You then find the unbranded ruu. Further guides are in the development section.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebooter99:
Thanks Ste1164

Sorry to be thick but you said "you want to intend your desire" which I don't understand

Do you mean I only need a gold card to flash a stock rom over the Orange one ?

I will read the stickies (and try to make sense of them but I am very out of touch - my last custom rom was for an original XDA !!!)

One other point, having bought and used an unlock code for my Orange handset, presumably the same code number will work if the hnadset locks up again ?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippyioa:
Stratford is great, strangely we were just in Solihull so went through hockley heath to get there!

I think the last poster meant debrand not intend? Anyway, you are right about the goldcard, just make sure you put it in again if you do an OTA upgrade!

As for the unlock code, once you apply it Oranges sim lock is removed.it shouldn't come back but I would keep it just in case.

You also asked me which ROM I would suggest, I haven't tried any as I am still using the stock T-Mobile one, but Paul at MoDaCo has always made first class roms and you can choose the contents yourself in his kitchen :D

zippyioa
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
Sorry yes I meant debrand (I'm trying to use swype :P) you will need a spare micro sd card for a gold card as when some ota updates arrive they will not be accepted unless you have a gold card. The unbranded rom will be instead of the orange rom. If you ever need to put the orange rom back on the phone you won't be able to as the orange ruu hasn't been leaked so keep that in mind.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebooter99:
Thanks for the responses

As I am not on Orange as service provider , what I really want to do is to get to as pure an HTC unbranded state in the hope that I will be able to get HTC OTA updates for Froyo and subsequents.

To be honest, custom roms are a bit scary at my level of knowledge as I don't want to brick an expensive handset (no disrespect to the clever guys who are cooking this stuff in their kitchens) so I will be looking for the most up to date HTC roms I can source.

One thing I can't figure is how HTC OTAs work as I would have thought that the service providers pump their updates out across their networks so how do unbranded handsets get updated ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippyioa:
The way I understand it, it is the handset that looks for updates, based on the rom you have installed.

I currently have a t-mobile handset with a vodafone sim. I just got the t-mobile update as that is what the phone had installed on it.

zippyioa
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebooter99:
Thanks zippyioa

So to get an update from Orange, I would have to leave it as Orange branded but , as I don't like the Orange customisations anyway, I would have to debrand it after their Froyo release ?

As this would still involve flashing a non Orange rom, am I right in thinking that I might as well find (if available) a current HTC Froyo rom and flash to that now ?

If I understand correctly, there is no benefit in waiting for Orange or am I utterly confused :o:o:o ?

Does anyone with an unbranded have an experience of an OTA HTC upgrade ?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippyioa:
That's the way I understand it!

The only downside to debranding is that the operator warranty is usually void. I am not sure if HTC still cover it though?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
The warranty isnt covered I dont think but you can check. An advantage to unbranding is that you will receive ota updates sooner and you won't have all the orange bloatware installed.

Hi every one, i already install inigma, quickmark, beetag and other QR code scanner, but not working. have any one know QR code scanner software that compatible with BA WM6.5.

Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] caritau:
no body reply

QuickMark error when scan QR code via camera, camera can run when application lunching, but when pointed to QR code application suddenly closed...

:confused: help me please! anyone know which one that can work properly on BA with OS upgraded?

Catatan : I have already try alot of stuff based on this.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
quickmark is a little tricky, when it comes to the blueangel, there are several blueangel models listed on the quickmark site, have you had a look, whether all the different links point to the same cab?

you might want to try other blueangel labels, like dopod 700, qtek 9090...

maybe another qvga version, like from the magician, kaiser...

if all of them fail, the blueangel might not be suitable to actually run it.

i have quickmark advanced on the blackstone, and it works just great, but in the past, i really had trouble getting it to work with the universal and the blueangel.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] caritau:
no, i never try another type

i will try it, and i will give a result here.
[Fascinate Android Development] Matt4542:
Hey guys :]

So a lot of you probably don't know who I am because I am a Droid and Droid 2 rom developer for the rom Epic or Epic Unleashed. I wanna bring my rom Epic Unleashed to the Fascinate but I dont have the funds to afford one. I am asking if you, the Fascinate community can you please donate so I will be able to but a Fascinate and develop custom roms for all of you. I would refund all the money not used to the people who donated it. If you would like to donate please click here and donate as much as you would like. Mods and/or admins please do not take this thread down because I want to get a Fascinate to make all your phones better :]

Thanks!

[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
Just a little knowledge to the users that are out there. Right now we don't have a real ability of installing custom roms anyways, just hold on until we get a working kernel source so that we have a custom recovery. Then do what you want with your money.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
I agree. Far be it from me to tell people how to use their money, but at this point we can't even get the compiled kernel from Samsung's source to boot.

If anyone out there is confident in their ability to release a product, I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest purchasing the device up front (credit card?), and asking for donations after releasing the product. Just my opinion.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zennmaster:
Gotta agree 100%.

I'm also a little gun shy after I donated to help buy a Droid for the guy on another forum who then got distracted by other projects.

On the other hand, I'm sure Koush and Cyanogenmod get donations they haven't even asked for.

[Fascinate Android Development] Matt4542:
Actually I am a developer on the D2 and D1, I dont promise things that I would not be able to do. If you can or want to please dontate, a recovery will be out soon and I know there isn't one but just wait.

Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] Matt4542:
I would buy it up front but I dont have the money to spend right now, that is why I need the donations to be able to afford the device.
[Fascinate Android Development] je2345:
Matt is a cool guy, I used to test his roms on my Droid! Once a recovery is made I will most likely make a donation to ya Matt
[Fascinate Android Development] Matt4542:

do you mind if you post some links to your d1 and d2 roms? just so we can see ur work?
[Fascinate Android Development] Matt4542:
Just posted the links on the original post :]
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
Asking someone to buy you a phone so you can develop on it is pretty shady at best, even when you dont seem that willing to help with the actual code. The work you have done seems good, but from what i can tell, you're more of a chef than a dev. I am more a chef as well, i dont know code very well, but am learning. At the moment, our efforts on getting a recovery are turning up at nothing, so asking for people to make a donation to get you a phone that you wont be able to push roms out for yet is just not the way to go. Advertise again when we have a working recovery, if we do get to that point.
[Fascinate Android Development] Matt4542:
Actually I am not a chef. I build from AOSP and other things. I know a lot of Java and some C++. I was not able to build from AOSP on the D2 because of several things Motorola has left out. I tried over and over. I am asking to donate so I will be able to get AOSP roms and source build things on this device. If you do not wish to donate do not. I am just asking so I can make roms better for the device when the recovery is booted and released. That is all.
[Fascinate Android Development] ethanperkins17:
Umm... get donations from the d1 and d2 work that you've already done, buy a Fascinate, create ROMs for that, and THEN (if it's a halfway decent job) people will donate without you even needing to ask them. Why ask people to pay for something that you haven't even done yet but then reassure them it'll happen because of your other work? If what you did with the d1/2 is good then shouldn't you be able to get donations from that? I'm not accusing you of trying to scam people I'm just telling you what seems to make the most sense.
[Fascinate Android Development] Matt4542:
Actually I am not getting many donations towards my D1/D2 development :/ I just need some money so I could develop of this device when there is a recovery but people needed to make a big deal out of it :/
[Fascinate Android Development] ethanperkins17:
Well, once again, I'm not accusing you of trying to scam. But you do have to look at this from everyone else's view and realize people are not going to be too quick to jump on this. If there's not much coming in from work you have actually already done then it really doesn't seem like there's going to be much turnout for something that, at this point, is just based on your word.
[Fascinate Android Development] dkcldark:
So what's the exact problem with the recovery? Some threads say that you guys are able to get into the recovery anyway?
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
the problem right now with the recovery is that we cannot even get a custom kernel to boot, which is the starting point for a working recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] Matt4542:
I probably will be able to help with the kernel. Is there a place I will be able to contact you?
[Fascinate Android Development] dkcldark:
So the recovery doen't work properly? Is the apply sdcard update.zip missing or something like that? I can help you guys in this case. Tell me the exact matter please :D
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
It's there, but only signed update.zip's can be applied. We don't have the test keys that would allow us to be able to sign it ourselves.

[Fascinate Android Development] apthirdeye14:
I am really surprised that so many people gave him such a hard time for his request of donations. He's been around since the D1 got going. You see devs all the time asking for donations when a new phone comes out and b4 any recoveries are up and stable. Just look back at DI, Evo, DX and D2 forums at their release times. We all want devs to crank out these roms asap, but if one asks for donations for the latest phone to commit work to it, a lot of people hear give him a hard time. If u don't want to donate, then don't. It's that simple.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
seconded. or, just save it, period.
[Fascinate Android Development] ludionis:
I've got mixed feelings on this one. Almost every rom forum I see has a "if you'd like to donate" line listed *before* the signature (referencing rule #8 of the forum rules here). However, let's look at the flip side. A new android phone is released about every month. There is no feasible way, save through donations or striking oil, that someone willing to dev and later donate to the community can possibly acquire each device needed for development purposes. I used Kaos's Froyo rom for quite some time, and if he asked for donations to buy a Fascinate to create awesome roms for me now, I'd have no prob. As long as the person is established in the community, I see no prob with asking for help acquiring a device to help them help us....
