[Touch HD General] svein01:
Hello,

Earlier today, I copied a file named AVATOR.PNG into the \Windows folder of my HTC Touch HD (running Grzegorz10s custom Dusk ROM). The file was meant to replace an existing Avator.png file. (The graphics file is part of a skinned Manila 2.5 installation, but that's beside the point.) I ended up with two separate files in \Windows; one named AVATOR.PNG and the other named Avator.png.

At this point, I can't remove either file, nor can I change their file properties. A few days ago (before doing a task 29 and reflashing the ROM to improve device performance), I could replace the packaged file without problem. The procedure at that time was simply to stop HTC Sense from the list of Home Screen items, remove the read only attribute of Avator.png, and overwrite it with another graphic with the same name.

This time, I apparently didn't pay enough attention to upper and lower case characters.... To view the symptoms and issue, please refer to this YouTube video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMQkgENs0DA

Can anybody help me out? I could always reflash the ROM but it seems like too much work for something this "simple."

Thanks,

Svein
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
ok, you already wrote, you will care for case sentitivity next time, so no lecturing there ;)

these might sound stupid, but have you tried, either renaming AVATOR.png (the one you copied there, if i'm not mistaking) to Avator.png (should either ask to overwrite or at least give another error) or something completely unrelated (to get rid of the conflict)?

can you maybe move that file to, say, my documents\ and delete it there?

the only other things, that would come to mind would be to write a script to delete that one file and run it in startup, before anything else starts, or in a UC environment, where also nearly everything else is stopped, but to be honest, you should rather perform a hard reset, much faster.
[Touch HD General] svein01:
Thanks, Tony. Yeah, the case sensitivity is a given - my bad. And I will likely opt for a hard reset. I had *really* looked forward to not having to reconfigure my device again, now that I finally found a ROM that I thoroughly enjoy, but alas... The files are locked (can't move, delete, or change attributes no matter what...)

Googled "UC environment" with both HTC and windows mobile as keywords and came up with Unified Communication. Is that the right way to go or did I just blow my cover and will get tossed outta here as the functional, non-techie user that I just professed to be?
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
by UC, i was referring to the automatic customizations (formerly known as EXTROM), run after a hard reset or through an automatic installer integrated in many roms, i saw it as XDA_UC or Cloudy AutoInstall. Because the purpose of these automatic customizations are to install settings (mms, internet) or skins and wallpapers, usually done by your carrier, when running this setup, all connections are cut, all apps are shut down and only a basic windows mobile is running (also sense is shut down).

these autoinstallers can use cab or xml or mortscript files, but setting up a mortscript to try and delete a file, when you've never done it before, probably takes longer than hard resetting and setting up your device again. yet, you can make use of autoinstallers to get all your programs up and running, sync with myphone, and all that is left to do is make some basic settings like owner information. usually that should take less than an hour, that way, being much faster than searching solutions for several days ;)

Ok first of don't tell me to search cos I want something different. Any way, with the new overlay made by blayo will metamorph work on our legends?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
He said in his own thread that metamorph was one of the things he tested with. It works
[Legend Android Development] tamaster92:
So, I can apply themes on to my legend via metamorph? Correct?

See this comment:

So you can do one of two things:

- Everything in post#1 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773278

- Wait for a developer to include that kernel in their ROM

..and then you can use metamorph. Personally I am hoping the feature will be available in an upcoming ROM/update.

Maybe it will *just* work with Azure due to this:

...but I am personally not 100% of the ins and outs [e.g. some WiFi issues??]
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
WiFi is not an issue. If you have tiwlan.ko and sdio.ko in your /system/lib/modules, then you're set.

In Azure there is kernel made from source with AUFS support I guess. Just find out if it is enabled... adb pull /proc/config.gz, gunzip it and find out if there is CONFIG_AUFS_FS set to y or m in it.

Today I will also sort out busybox problem and then we are set for every Legend ROM I know.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
And the chances of the OP following this are?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Hmm, I thought this was a development subforum :D
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
adb shell "zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_AUFS"
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
I thought that this is development subforum so anyone should know at least 3 ways to solve such "problems"...

@snakehult: Serving fish on a silver platter is not the way to do it I guess. Rather make some lessons on how to catch them...

I'd say something android lacks overall: easy caret placement. On the phone produced by a fruity manufacturer you have somewhat of a magnifying circle when positioning the caret. I would REALLY like that (or equivalent) to be available on Android :)

...unless it already supports it and I have overlooked it for months, lol

couldn't care less about flash, the phone makes extremely good night pics anyhow and i'm not into making horrible night pics with a flash 30cm from ppl's face :p

the rest is software and can/will/is already added by community/samsung

eventually a joystick or something similar for games hehe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverstorm:
Both the samsung keyboard and swype keyboard have cursor arrow keys for fine caret adjustment.

For the samsung keyboard, long-press/hold down the '?123' button in the left bottom corner. In the Swype keyboard, swype from 'i' (information) key in bottom corner to 'SYM' key next to it and a new board opens with arrows and additional 'cut/copy/paste' commands. Very handy although not as elegant as the fruity phone's implementation or easy to use as a Nexus trackball.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAMBO04:
1. Xenon Flash

2. Dedicated Camera button.

3. Tougher housing (plastic is getting old.)

4. More durable home button, e.g the iPhone has a glass coating on it's one, that would be much better for the SGS too.

5. LED notifications + pulsating ones, can't see why they couldn't implement that before they released it cause Nokia has been doing it for ages.

6. Better USB port, changed place perhaps, and ditch the top sliding cover for the USB port, or add a stronger one.

7. Speakers on the bottom of the handset, it sucks on the back because when your phone is ringing sometimes you can't hear it at max vol even if it is because the speaker is being blocked.

8. Crisper graphics - SAMOLED is amazing but the writing etc is pixelated and generally not crisp, so if they mixed retina with SAMOLED that would be a huge selling point.

that's it. I don't think that's unreasonable, sure it'll make the phone a tad more expensive but on the whole it will push the phone out and make it more popular. The screen is fine as it is, and stability etc will just take time cause that's a software issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SagioS:
Hello,

I am having a bit of a problem with my HTC HD2 ,

from the day i bought it , (mostly of my .....caprice )

When i bought the phone it was completely in greek ,

and to be honest i wouldnt mind sticking a shotgun in my

mouth than working this phone in greek (even though i am greek ) :D

So after some time of searching i downloaded HSPL and an english rom .

i downloaded the version

RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship

Even if i do go into HTC official website i cant download any update on it ,

because it only lets me download the greek version .

I tried looking for a newer version , but this is the only one i found .

I tried everything , i even tried my sim card on another HD2 that a friend is using , and it works ok , but i cant take his rom since he bought it exactly like that with a version 1.66 xxxx .

Can anyone offer any advice please?

Thanks ,

SagioS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:

Did you think about using a cooked Rom?

[Epic 4G General] GXnext:
If not, is there anyway to view media hub content on a external screen?
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
I, too, have had that question. So for, I've no luck on a solution, just what it is.

Apparently, when you DL the movie, it saves as .pyv file which I found out is Microsoft's PlayReady DRM. Although I can long press on the actual file on the card and play it with mVideoPlayer or stock, I have not had any luck at playing this on my computer.

When you buy a movie, it says you can activate on 5 devices but I cannot find anywhere support for this application so I can ask how the hell I can do that. If I could at least get it on my computer and play it, I can stream it to my TV.

As it stands, it seems as though Media Hub is pretty worthless over all if we can't stream to our various viewing units.

Still looking for a solution.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Not to mention some of the media hub app(s) are responsible for the horrible battery life. Delete a few of the files that it needs to run correctly and you'll double your battery life. Screw that media hub. Can buy most those movies for 5 bucks at blockbuster or wal mart and load them on your phone yourself.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Funny thing. I deleted all the DRM stuff before I bought the movie and it still plays just fine. I bought a movie so I could try to figure out how to get it to work and I've had no problems with anything on the phone itself.

As far as I can tell, the three DRM files we deleted to help battery life have no function whatsoever.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonix232:
So, I was thinking about this...

As a Linux distro, any Linux binary application should work (just needs recompiling AFAIK, and some bit of hacking), so why not have some version control stuff on our phone? Let's say, SVN, CVS, Git, or even the google Repo manager!

Would it be possible? Is there anyone who compiled these tools for Android?

Also I am interested in any other tool what is used on Linux, and is compiled for our phones (already found wget, and no, busybox does not count ;) )
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I noticed today on my laptop why I always have trouble with this device on this computer w/ flashing and rooting. While it is still recognized by Windows it basically goes into a dormant/stalled state after 20 seconds.

Windows Ultimate 64 / Epic w/ development checked.

I will explain.

If I plug it in I can pull up the Android SDK, grab a screenshot etc no problems. Wait only about 20 seconds and the device goes unresponsive. I get no logs, no feed back, no nothing. If I close the Android SDK and re-open it, I can see the device, it shows "offline" but I can't connect to it now. Only way I can is unplugging the USB then plug it back in to get another 20 seconds of functioning time.

I'm stumped at what is causing communications to cease between the two devices.

Last lines of the log right before it goes "unresponsive"

This explains to me why when I've tried rooting it takes multiple tries of unplugging and plugging it back in before I can get a full flash and read in. My home PC works fine and this "stalling" never occurs.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Holy cow I fixed it! This might solve a lot of other peoples issues!

Did this as a last ditch effort and it solved it. I had to add an exclusion to Avast to my "E:" drive (the epic) for on "On Access Protection". Stupid virus scanner was blocking it as part of its "network protection".

Hi,

The way I do it is put all the ringtone files you want to use in the folder on the root of your SD card called My Documents (if it's not there then create it).

Then got to Settings/Sounds & Notifications - select notifications tab at the bottom. All the files you added to the folder should be in the dropdown now.

Hopefully that helps.

Cheers.

So I have a weird issue. My last phone was a Touch Pro running winmo. So I had to go through a couple hoops to transfer contacts and sms threads. Contacts were easy just uploaded them to google and waited for my phone to sync. To transfer my sms threads I had to install a program on my TP called smsexporter and then output them and upload them to my Epic using SMS Backup and Restore. Everything transfered fine, all contacts there and all my sms threads. My issue is that when I try to send a text through one of the transfered threads I get either a Bad Phone Number error or the message just won't send. I checked all the numbers and they are correct. If I go through contacts and send a message I get the same error. However, if I start a new message and enter a phone number the message will send. After doing this the message will show in the transfered thread for that person and usually I can send test through the thread. My issue is it doesn't always work. So I have to constantly enter someone's number every time I send them a text. I've tried completely deleting a thread but I still get the error. Sorry for the long post just wanted to give as much detail as possible. Any help is appreciated.

[Epic 4G General] helchez:
I'll give that a try. I really didn't want to have to delete and reenter all my contacts. However, my contacts are synced with my gmail account so I wonder if the issue is a sync or format issue between gmail and android?

Same thing is happening to my phone
[Epic 4G General] helchez:
I tried deleting the contact and re entering it. That didn't work. I was able to send one text then the bad phone number error. This makes me think it might be a google contact sync error. Im going to try and delete and reenter through google and let it sync. If that doesn't work I really don't know what to do.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
You should just factory reset your phome and sync your google again and see if you can send texts normaly, and if it works, then restore the sms threads and then try, and if it fails then you know the culprit :P
