[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niko_2307:
Hello everyone,

as object, I would reset my htc hero in the wild to be able to send it in assistance. In the past I did everything by installing the HTC RUU, but now the problem is that USB is not recognized by any operating system and any computer (although I also tried changing the cable).

I reinstalled the original ROM but I can not find the original recovery and unfortunately I have no backup nandroid

I hope someone can help me, maybe switch your backup files.

Thanks a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Moved to Q&A as not development.

Try flash_image recovery stockRecovery.img

Not sure where you can get stock recovery image from. I might have it somewhere on my HDD, or you could extract the IMG file from an RUU.
[Fascinate Android Development] jason1332:
Can someone please post a copy of the stock (DH12) build.prop file? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys.

Just wondering if there was an app or .apk file that would wake up the screen with the Trackpad and pressing it again to unlock it. Let me know if its in a Rom too.

I'm running Virtuous v2.7

Thanks. Just got my DI yday from a D2 :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] neotericpiguy:
Cyanogenmod has the wake and unlock features that you are looking for, but if you could do with an iffy wake on trackpad, there is a qwerty,kl file that you can modify to wake your dinc.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooksalot:
Skyraider has it in it's extras. If you do a search there is a thread for track pad wake in the development area.

Here this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=729923

Almost forgot it's track pad to wake, menu to unlock.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 1967ls2:
I downloaded RomManager and there is a "optical trackpad wake" that you download and it installs for you. It is kind of hit and miss though. For some reason when my phone is plugged in charging it works every single time. When the phone is off the charger it will work sporadically. Sometimes it wakes on the first press, sometimes you have to hold the button down, sometimes you have to hit it like 3-4 times.

I was wondering with the cyanogenmod, is it as sporadic as this? Does it work every time without fail?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooksalot:
I like that it takes a bit to wake. If not it would be unlocking all the time in my purse. Probably why my Moto Q would be dead in about an hour in my purse. Much less my Moto Q would wake and unlock and make calls from my purse. My poor friends and husband always got these calls from me that my purse made. LOL!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DNasty222:
Thanks homies but what is Skyraider? Rom? Radio? Kernel?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooksalot:
LOL! You have a lot of reading to do here. I read for about a week before I did any modifications to my phone. You might want to start out in the development thread. Lots to learn there, and all the answers to what these things are will be found there. :)
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
Hi there,

in the googd old days when i was on board porting android to HTC Kaiser / Vogue we optimized the png files in the apks for the smaller resolution of the Kaiser/Vogue.

Due to the fact that the desire HD has a higher resolution than Desire, couldn't we optimize the new sense graphics, too?

So we could save more space and bring more things direct to the phone instead of the sd card which is slower than internal nand.

I found this:

http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/optimize-and-compress-png-files/

maybe it's a good starting point, next thing is that it would save ram on the device due to a smaller size...
[Desire General] ratchetnclank:
Its the same resolution i thought? WVGA

Just a bigger screen diameter.
[Desire General] donald-c:
Yeah, It says so when I Googled lol.

Otherwise porting it would have been a whole other story :p
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
Desire HD has a higher dpi as far as i know... correct me if i'm wrong
[Desire General] olaxe:
HTC Desire:

# Size: 3.7 inches

# Resolution: 480 X 800 WVGA

HTC Desire HD:

# Size: 4.3 inches

# Resolution: 480 x 800 WVGA

source htc.com

so the Desire HD hast actually less dpi.

bye
[Desire General] typhex:
yeah right .. thats the point where most of people are confused. dpi = dots per ich ... so if u got same resolution on bigger screen u got less dpi
[Desire General] MightySashiman:
Ok So this topic is pretty irrelevant... Nice try anyway
[Desire General] pulser_g2:
Has someone run the apks through OptiPng yet?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=560271

Might save a few tens of megs if you're lucky. I use this on my ROMs for hero, and it certainly saves a little space. And it's nothing to do with resolution etc, can't remember technical details but I think it's to do with compression of the png file itself. Certainly doesn't reduce quality AFAIK.

Thought I'd mention it in case someone wants to try it.
[Desire General] beidl:
Well I made the ROM fit on the system partition, but I had to remove A LOT of stuff. (Laputa, all LWPs, the eReader, Adobe Reader, the Slate theme, some other apps I can't remember atm, basically all apps that can be downloaded through the market, some junk resource files and all libraries that are connected to the removed apps.)

After installing and setting up my accounts I replaced the HTC_IME (7MB) with the smaller (and better) HTC_IME mod (4MB).

I also odexed the remaining system apps and used a fusecompress init script to compress the dalvik-cache. (to save some space on /data).

All in all, it works great, but I'm sure optimizing the pngs would save even more space and improve the system's load/performance.

I'm already thinking about pre-compressing the framework files and mounting them using fuse on boot (like I do with the dalvik-cache).
[Desire General] s.zamani:
running 191. MB ownhereHD Rom without extPart

SORRY SORRY SORRY I totaly got lost in the Tab jungel of my browser and posted this exidentaly here:

I am running the rom that ist urned into a flashable Zip by NeoPhyTe.x360

on my desire without having an ExtPartition at all.

I just got rid of the following:

live wallpapers + Wallpapers [Exept the 1 that is used on default]

Ringtones + Alarms [Exept the 1 that is used on default]

also I got rid of the thems that come with the new HD-Sense

in Programms I actually got rid of every prog that I dont use [Like, Carstuff, Stock, Flickr, a few widgets because I use others from the market anyway, etc,...]

and also all that I can get from the market

after flashing I had to install a few things that I need manualy

I am a total newbee when it comes to android system but I think if one just could strip the hole thing to the bones, with only Sense, and superuser and also delet everthing that we can get on the market it would become even smaler.
[Desire General] mr.r9:
If we get an s-off bootloader will that help Beidl? I remember like 2 weeks ago someone showed progress on this but noting since...
[Desire General] s.zamani:
Size matters

so how big/ smal did your zip file became?

s.
[Desire General] beidl:
I didn't make a flashable zip file yet but df says I have around 2 MB left on /system.

If the system partition didn't have some bad blocks, I would've been able to get more things onto it.
[Desire General] MacCarron:
Compressing the apks really helps. I've just finished compressing all of the apks in /system/app and /data/app coming from the Aurax ROM and added the ones that had been removed from the original Ownhere ROM. 120Mb got compressed to 94Mb :D. Right now i'm compressing framework-res and com.htc.resources.
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
Sounds great, a quarter of saved space..
[Desire General] MacCarron:
Ok i'm done. I removed (as i do not use them):

all the wallpapers (copied them to fat partition)

all themes except for slate

google car home

amazon mp3

SoundHound

Genie Widget

HTC Mail + Widget (i use the gmail app)

Then added back all of the HTC Navigation apks and libs, moved some stuff from /system to /data and vice-versa, compressed all of the apps + framework apks.

Result:

/system: 225Mb

/data: 33Mb
[Desire General] zHk3R:
That's a step in the right direction at least :D

Awesome.
[Desire General] MacCarron:
I just flashed my compressed rom and maybe it's just a placebo, but it does feel snappier :D. I'm having troubles with the HTC Nav service though, can't get it to work..i restored the 4 apks (HTCLaputa, HTCLaputaInstaller,HTCLaputaWidget and LocationPickerLaputa) and libLaputaEngine.so, but it still fces on startup..do you have any clues? I just asked NeoPhyte, maybe he can shed some light..

edit: 1270 quadrant, i dont remember what i got before though..:p
[Desire General] zHk3R:
I don't know exactly - But it seems as though there are some .apks that are co-dependent on each other. That's why you might get the FCs..

That's sweet dude. I've got the original ROM by ownhere and it's not laggy at all, though.
[Desire General] nprussell:
I've just managed to shave 20mb+ off without deleting anything.

I'm still working on reducing it further... give me until tomorrow and I'll release VillainROM's version :)
[Desire General] MacCarron:
Thaaaaank you! If you want them and if you haven't done it already i can give you a link to all the apks i png-compressed yesterday :D:D
[Desire General] febelus:
with RCMixHD v01 quadrant score 1188.
[Desire General] worstenbrood:
Even repacking app and framework with an higher compression saves you like 40 mb !
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I've deleted a lot of wallpapers and currently running everything through OptiPNG. Takes forever but it will be worth it in the end!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitoux:
Hey everyone

I wonder if other users have had problems with the internal card of GS

For weeks I tried my rooter GS unsuccessfully

I just noticed in fact that when I created a file in / sdcard / (eg photo) it disappears after a reboot

Have you had this kind of problem and do you find the solution?

I should mention that I already try to format but without further success.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
sounds like you are in the wrong forum, it appears your phone also runs Android

Which phone are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitoux:
Sorry

Samsung Galaxy S (I9000)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
okay now we know what you are talking about, we usually refer to the phone as SGS, or typing the model number which is better, just GS can get misleading.

back to your original question, no, it should not delete your stuff even if they are at the root of the SD card

if you create a file there, or picture, anything, it should remain in the folder you left it on after a reboot.

what software did you install on the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icejagans:
Even if you factory reset it 3 times in a row it still retains information such as music, vids and pics on the internal sd. Looks like a dodgy sd card to me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Firmware I9000XWJM8 is now officially an official firmware. :)

If your phone is region code TMN, you can upgrade without hacks or test mode by using Kies. The rest of us (should we for some reason want to) can use the hack described in this post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pilotxxx:
2.2 ROM? any changelog?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VoLtArC:
Nice one.

I'm in TMN region.... Still using JM8 without all that TMN provider stuff...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Nope, just another Eclair (albeit a good one). Samsung doesn't really post changelogs, none I've found anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VoLtArC:
Still 2.1...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BronzedDroid:
No it is still 2.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mundano:
I would not do that, TMN versions are heavly branded...

I would bet that most TMN users in the forum have installed an unofficial ROM just to clean all the branding.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pharaohdk:
what region is tmn?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mundano:
TMN is a telecom in Portugal. Those ROM's are heavly branded, not suitable to non-TMN costumers..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ganfas:
Neither to tmn costumers, tmn rom bring a lot of heavy stuff
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlexandreT:
After flashing with KIES are you guys keeping all software and contacts or is everything getting wiped? I'll backup anyway but I just wanted to know beforehand.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
Well, when I updated my firmware to DDJG4 here in India via kies, all my data on the phone memory was wiped clean, without any prior information. Yeah, IMO, having a backup ready would be wise irrespective of whether this happens to you or not.. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
is there a froyo release available for TMN now? my phone is not TMN and I'm not from Portugal, but somehow, my phone upgraded from JM1 to TMN JM8

This may have been asked, but I couldn't find it. I can't sync my facebook with my contacts like before. Some do, and some don't....mostly none do. Please help. Thanks

Ive noticed in the fb app under setting/sync if you select all friends it will sync all your contacts but also load all your friends into your contacts and then if you select sync with contacts only the results are what youve stated. Seems like a fb problem imo.

there's an app call syncmypix that will add fb photos to your contacts but no profile information
[Hero CDMA General] justinkal:
I posted a similar, now dead thread, a while back. My problem was not that Facebook wouldn't sync but that contact pictures would not update when Facebook profile pictures changed

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justindri:
I tried to get TMobile service for my Nexus one but it wouldn't pick up 3G. So I called Google tech support and they said my Nexus one is an AT&T only nexus one. What's up with that? I thought this was an unlocked phone able to handle any GSM carrier? Can I get it to work on TMobile?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giodelgado:
maybe they meant AT&T 3G, it should pickup the EDGE network on Tmo or you are in a dead zone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it will work on tmobiles edge service, but not on 3G. tmobile and att have different frequencies for their 3G signals. and yes, there are 2 kinds of nexus ones. one for tmobiles frequency, and one for atts frequency.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justindri:
If I root the phone will I be able to use it on tmobile?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw1028:
No, Tmobile runs 3G through 1700mhz band & ATT runs 3G through 850mhz & 1900mhz bands. Both carriers use 850/1900mhz bands for gprs & edge network. There is no way to change the frequencies your phone uses because its a hardware issue. This has been attempted many many times with the US always getting phones last.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
This is something to determine when first buying the phone. Did t-mobile sell you the wrong version of the nexus?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There is a difference between "unlocked", meaning - any SIM can go in and the phone won't stop it from working, and "correct band for GSM/3G", which is in hardware - the phone has support for X different frequencies of GSM and Y different frequencies of UMTS (3G), and if the carrier you're trying to connect to doesn't work with any of those frequencies and works with some other ones - having a working SIM won't help you, since the phone won't find the working frequencies.

And this question was answered about 10000 times.

[Desire General] teppic74:
Unrevoked3 doesn't provide S-OFF on GSM Desires. It uses an exploit (publicly unknown) to flash the recovery partition, which is then re-locked.

If you have upgraded to Froyo, you cannot use an older RUU to unroot, you'd need the same Froyo version (or higher), unless you downgrade.
[Desire General] ScottHW:
Doh! I'd planned to reserve the 2nd post for Updates. I got in a hurry last night. Ah well.

I have since realized that I was mistaken, that unrevoked3 does NOT do S-OFF. unrevoked forever would do this, but is currently not supported for HTC Desire.

<unrevoked forever link>

Thanks for the tip on the Froyo RUU. I will look into it further and update my findings.

I'm not entirely clear, tho... I had fully intended that the older RUU would include downgrading from Froyo. Are you saying that this wouldn't work? If I then re-applied the OTA Froyo, would I not be back to Out-of-the-box + OTA Ugrade (still not rooted)?

ok guys i got a hold of a captivate honestly not very impressed it is a very censored device, but one thing i did like about it is the body of it pretty sleek looking, so out of boredom i rooted and ripped all the files

so far what works

AT&T radio works...kinda ugly ui but it works (10 min. trial, subscription req.)

AT&T nav loads but does not work

AT&T mobile instant messaging works but is ugly still looks like windows mobile version.

AT&T Where, Works but seems useless to me

AT&T hotspot locator works(useless)

YP mobile Works

all apps were tested on stock rom and removed right after

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] VMaxxor:
Hi,

All this fuss about SE putting allot of man hours in their Android ROM got me wondering what they actually added or changed.

I'm relatively new to Android so I have no idea how a normal 1.6 release looks like.

A quick list for starters:

- More recent kernel

- Many kernel exploits fixed

- UXP

- Time/Mediascape

- SE Camera app (Digital zoom, scenes)

- SE Sync

- Closed up bootloader (maybe this one took allot of time?)

Are there any other changes done by SE devs? Different behaviors or new features?
[Legend General] tonper:
Hey all. This is my first post here on XDA.

I've been thinking of compiling my own kernel image for my HTC Legend. I've spent hours googling and reading different forums and blog's. But without greater success, most of the guidelines are not spot on and some things are not cristal. So I have a few questions regarding this.

I have read that a specific radio image is just "comptabile" for compilation with a specific kernel version. So let's say I have HTC_LEGEND_RADIO_7_083521_sign.zip, how do I know what kernel version this is made for? In my ears this sounds pretty strange :confused:. I would not be able to build a kernel from that radio image and the 2.6.35.5 Linux kernel?

I've also tried to figure out what exactly the radio image is from various boguos posts on different forums, and what I belive it is from the tiny bits of information I've found is that It's modules for the phones hardware?

Oh, and what is the latest radio image version available for the HTC Legend?

Hope someone can help me clear some of my questions :)
[Legend General] Kwen:
I can only answer the very last question lol, it's 7.08.35.21

Latest RUU:

RUU_Legend_Vodafone_AU_2.10.178.1_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_138238_signed.exe

[Legend General] BlaY0:
Hi tonper,

First... where did you get that radio has something to do with kernel??? Radio image is basically a firmware (operating system of its own that interacts with radio hw) and has nothing to do with Android kernel which is in fact patched Linux kernel. One can access all functions of radio through userspace Android apps that communicate with radio via native libraries. That's all that it is to say about radio in conjunction with kernel.

To be able to build a kernel one should first master basics of Unix/Linux system principles and first try to build own kernel for some Linux distro. One need to know also how to boot this kernel and use it with the rest of the operating system. Last thing to master is cross-compiling as you will be building kernel for ARM architecture most possibly on your x86 PC. In short the topics to search for would be:

* knowing Linux (principles)

* booting Linux (process)

* compiling Linux kernel

* cross-compiling

Android powah!
[Legend General] tonper:
Thanks for your answer BlaY0! :D

Will check into it some more this weekend with this new information.

Been running Linux for 10 years and Debian for 7 years. So got the basic knowledge :) I just can't find any good documentation on this topic :(
[Legend General] snakehult:
Cyanogenmod wiki have some guides

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_Kernel_from_source
[Legend General] tonper:
:eek: How could I have missed that page? Have been googling like a maniac. That was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Thanks alot snake :D
[Legend General] BlaY0:
OK, then you're set m8 ;) you just need to grab some ARM cross-compiling toolchain for x86. Your first bet would be Android NDK. You can also use CodeSourcery or even build your own toolchain with Buildroot... but for compiling kernel really doesn't matter which one U use.

Happy compiling ;)

Thanks
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
Principially yes, but I would not(!) recommend it. Especially installing a new recovery.img and/or radio.img is more save using fastboot, which needs a pc.

wierd u mention that, i used the phone to flash radio.img. through the recovery console. cant remember the commands tho:(
[G1 General] toonarmy85:
Id like to try and I have a spare g1 to try it on first its just the guides are a bit hard for me to follow
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
Yes you can flash the radio.img using an update.zip file and flash it through recovery, but this in certain circumstances may cause a brick. Using fastboot is more save.
