what is running on the mtslide is a version of sense. check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780525

i think thats what you were looking for. lockscreen pulldown included. this is for the right resolution, ROM has been tweaked by mdeejay for HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Showtime7:
HVGA devices were standard for Android before the Desire and NexusOne. The Hero, Eris, MyTouch, G1, all those are HVGA, it's a middle ground between QVGA and VGA. I'm a bit new to Android but I do know that with WinMo, most porting is done from a higher resolution to a lower resolution, since shrinking graphics causes no loss in quality. But if you go from a lower resolution to a higher resolution, images are expanded, and a loss of quality occurs. So you'd need resources of the resolution you're porting to. Hope that makes sense... I think this is why no HVGA roms are made for the HD2 (besides the fact they're outdated).

yeah I gotta say the mytouch SLIDE ROM is cool, I used way back on my myTouch 3G when it was ported, it was pretty cool, but coan only imagine how badass it would be on the HD2

I purchased one of these for my HTC Aria a couple of weeks ago and it works !

I'm running apps2sd with the Liberated Aria version and even experimented with Cynaogen (seem a little slow on picking up apps from the SD on boot up, but it seems more of a Cynaogen issue.

Was just in Fry's Sunnvale yesterday and the also have a Kingston 16GB Class 4 for the about same price (in-store $32.99) and on-line price $29.99 :

Well I would really like to know if someone found a fix to the bluetooth problems on cyanogenmod 6? Please if you know how to fix it let me know!!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taylortron3030:
I think we are just supposed to wait for the CM guys to get it worked out. I bet they can do it. Hopefully we don't need to wait on an official Froyo release though (that day may never come....). I am sure that the CyanogenMod crew is eager to get bluetooth working, since it is a pretty major problem. I don't know about you, but it's illegal to use a phone while driving here, so BT is a must.

I'm just going to go back to a 2.1 OS with working bluetooth, and wait for the fix. I tried a few CM6 ROMs though and was impressed. I am into the CM6 ROM. My Quadrant scores WITHOUT overclocking were about double what I was getting with Factory 2.1 OS.

Anyway, thanks Cyanogen and everyone involved.

I just ordered my Evo. I have an innocell 3500 that bought with my Hero. Seidio informed me that the dimensions are exactly the same as the 3500 for the Evo. I would like to use it in my evo.

[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
I tried google already and ebay. I found the battery and the cover for sale together, the innocase for the extended battery and a cover that wasn't like the seidio one. I was hoping to find a just the battery cover without having to buy another battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] FattySparks:
I apologize, it was actually a case. It looked like the cover to me. I'm not sure then. Google around til you find it.

I'll look and if I see something I'll let u know.
[EVO 4G Accessories] FattySparks:
My guess is you're gonna have a hard time finding one. No one will want to get rid of just the cover if they still have a battery. And unless Seidio makes one, which I didn't see, you may be stuck with finding someone who no longer has their evo.

Sorry I couldn't help more. Let me know if you find anything.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
I think you are right. I think I am going to just have to go ahead and order another battery as well. Thanks for trying though. Cheapest I have found so far is $53 on amazon through daydeal.

I am having a weird issue here.

I've got a TMOUSA HD2 with HSPL flashed on here, I flash custom ROMs all the time via RUU. I lost my USB cord and wanted to flash the new Energy ROM, so I downloaded, extracted it and moved LEOIMG.NBH to the root of my SD card, I put the SD card back in my HD2 and turned it on with VOL DOWN, it goes to bootloader and just says "serial" on the bottom and never does anything. How do I get it to recognize my ROM?

fixed: apparently a 16gb card won't work

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenber:
Concerning just the physical constrains, comparing the tear down pictures of the Vibrant and the Captivate, it looks like the Vibrant has the advantage of having the molding for the FFC already there. It looks like there's no place next to the regular camera to place the FFC in the Captivate. It would be pretty cool it get this working though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitchb:
Yep, it looks like they placed the headphone jack and some plastic housing in the exact spot the FFC would go. Unless there's some tiny space between the housing and the digitizer glass I'm not seeing, you'd have to carve through the plastic housing to make room. No thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice3186:
wont happen without some major mod

Okay well we have been down this road many a times in this forum(myself included). And i am going to include a picture of a torn down captivate. The problem lies in the fact that the hold for the FFC is right under the mount for the main camera, where in the vibrant and i9000 they are two separate slots. It would also seem from the pictures that the boards that are controlling the camera are flipped from the i9000 and the captivate. So what we would have to do is flip the board, re-wire the circuit board under the camera from the i9000 so it dropped straight down and then maybe it would work. Here is a picture of the captivate.

and then the i9000

I'm currently taking a class that involves interviewing an IT Professional for my final project. My original interviewee fell through and now I am approaching the deadline. I'm curious if there is anyone here on XDA who can help me out

What I am asking.

If there is an IT Professional preferably in a security or forensics position since that I am the degree I am working towards, but any IT Professional can help if they are willing.

I have a short set of questions for the interview mostly pertaining to time management and work/lifestyle balances.

I can either post the questions to you through direct message here on XDA or I can email you the Word document.

The class does ask for the name and company that the interviewee works for but if you are uncomfortable providing that info I can fabricate it.

I definitely appreciate any help I can get from fellow forum users

Yes you will lose your root, but its not as bad as everyone makes it sound now. With Unrevoked out it is easy to root so just run it then re root with unrevoked.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmtalon:
So, back when I first got my Incredible, my Google apps account didn't work with checkout, google voice etc... so to effectivly use my phone I had to also use my true gmail account.

When I look into Accounts & Sync, as I understand it, the FIRST google account listed is the first one assigned to the phone.

Mine are ordered as:

user@gmail.com

user@mydomain.com

HOWEVER, my gtalk is signed into mydomain.com's account. Back when the first 2.2 leak came out, I did a wipe and fresh install of 2.2 (after dutifully performing a nandroid) and could not get GMAIL to be my first account and still use gtalk with mydomain.com.

Is there a trick to this? Some special order/way to sign into gmail first, but attach these add-on apps (i.e. voice and gtalk) to my google apps account?

TIA for any tips...

I'm "ok" right now, but there WILL be a time when I want to start fresh, and when I do that I worry I'll never get it set back up the same way I am now.

I *could* just use my apps account, except I purchased a few apps and would hate loosing them / having to re-buy them and/or asking all the developers for refunds so I could repurchase under my apps account.

method to unroot orange uk desire.

download this nand backup

download the official update

extract the nand backup and delete the file 'recovery.img'

edit the file nandroid.md5 in wordpad (not notepad) and remove the line with recovery.img in it.

rename the official update to 'update.zip'

place the directory '2010-09-26.13.31.55' in the directory /nandroid/ht##########/ on your sdcard

place update.zip on your sdcard.

reboot phone into recovery and restore nand 2010-09-26.13.31.55

turn of check for signiture and flash update.zip.

follow on screen insructions to reboot and your done.

if you dont have the directory /nandroid/ht##########/ make a nand backup on your phone and it wil appear. ######### will be replaced by your phone id.

Dont blame me if you kill your phone doing this.

this worked for me with amonra recovery. probably work with clockwork too..not tried because my phone is on its way for repair now:)

thanks ste1164 for providing the nand and having the balls to try this first.

Make a backup to create a android directory. Then put the folder you downloaded into the nandroid backup folder. Try and restoring from the backup without deleting anything if that doesnt work try your method.

Yes, if you've not yet put a custom ROM on you can Nandroid and then restore to then get the OTA update. What ROM version are you on at present?
[Desire Android Development] focallength:
Whilst that is correct, you would get a rooted stock Orange Branded ROM, what people are after is a non-rooted stock Orange Branded ROM. The benefit of this is to appear like no warranty was ever voided by rooting the phone, so that hardware issues can be sorted out by Orange under warranty. Or like others, to sell the phone on "as standard".

[Desire Android Development] ste1164:
You restore the orange ROM. Then you flash the update. After this you flash the FroYo update (links can be found in the forum). Your phone will then have the stock recovery.

No backup option in 2.2!

Hello all

I am desperately trying to de-brand my new Orange UK HTC Desire as per the initial instructions on this thread, however, the phone arrive 3 days ago and came with 2.2 installed. The option to 'backup' has been removed completely from the recovery menu (i.e. booting the phone with 'power + volume down', choosing recovery and then pressing 'power + volume up' at the red triangle screen no longer presents me with a menu where backup is listed is an option - only 'restore'.

Searching various pages I have read that this option has been removed and Google are working on a better solution - cloud based most likely. The 'privacy' option within the phones 'settings' menu has also disappeared from normal view however this is searchable - not sure exactly where its backing up to though??

Refering back to the original question - does anybody know how the instructions in this thread can be manipulated so that I can successfully de-brand my phone as they are no longer valid for devices with FroYo 2.2+?
