another help

thanks for the help but i had experienced one more problem!! as mentioned earlier im using jagan's evo 2.5a as of now.... i had no time flashing ur rom as exams hav started for me....

now my question is:

i had installed the android taskbar version 6.5.x in my mobile and my start menu disappeared... i then connected it to my pc and then removed using windows mobile device center.. to mention my os is 6.5 and not 6.5.x, will that make a change or create the problem i had?

now will this android taskbar work only for ur rom or for all other 6.5 roms too?

has anyone found a way to sync the droid to exchange???? and better yet without a password. We could sync with version 2.1 but since upgrading to 2.2 we can no longer sync to the server
[Droid X General] adrianblack:
I use it with my work email .... My company is on Exchange 2003. Never had any problems with 2.1 or 2.2. Calendar, Global Address Book and Email all work perfectly. (I don't sync contacts as I use my Gmail contacts.)

[Droid X General] cyberhern:
It's hard to beleive no one is here or ppcg uses a 2010 exchange.

Yes Sapo! I too am having problems with corp sync. Its all over the Droid forums.

The problem is primeraly with domains having more then 3 letters after the dot. Yes the old 2000 2003 and some 2007 exchanges work.

But its hit or miss...

In our case, we have a .info and no one at Moto, thought people would use 2010 exchanges.

Moto said they are working on it and offer the pos touchdown licence as a temp fix. Problem with td is it does not integrate with phone. It is stand alone. Contacts are exclusively on its UI it sucks!
[Droid X General] cyberhern:
SOLVED!

If anyone is having exchange problems, your probably on a 2010 or 2007sr2.

Try using the numeric server address. But only in last question or box.
[Droid X General] mario23:

AMOLEDs are known for poor readability in bright light. SAMOLED helps, but it's still not as good as a decent LCD AFAIK.

Go with the G2.

You don't know what you're talking about. The SAMOLED beats the snot out of most LCDs in direct sun.

But if the guy needs animated maps, G2 is the phone for now.

The difference isn't that amazing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clackamas:
These are the resaons why I choose not to get the Vibrant:

1. The housing of the case is made of cheap, painted plastic. it flakes and chips easily and I was concerned the phone would not last 2 years.

2. The Samsung UI was not user replacable without rooting the phone. I should not have to root my damn phone in order to get the UI expierence that works best for me.

As for the G2, I am on the fence about keeping it or not. Some issues are coming to light that are quickly adding to the "I don't like list". Among these:

1. the Keyboard design maybe less durable that I thought.

2. Battery life is borderline on what I find acceptable. This may be solvable, but I don't know yet.

3. the phone is thicker than I thought I could live with.

4. The volumn control is easily hit while using the keyboard.

5. The screen is harder to see in direct sunlight than the myTouch 3G I have owned for the past year.

6. T-Mobile _may_ have instrumented some hardware to interfere with might right to use the device as I see fit.

7. Though not strictly the phone, I have yet to see > 4Mpbs sustained in the Redmond/Seattle areas.

8. I am having a hard time hearing callers by naturally holding the phone to my ear. I find that I need to move the ear grill around my ear to keep a consistent, understandable volumn.

What I like about the G2:

1. Screen size is perfect and indoors, is really nice.

2. Though a little thick, the width and hight of the phone make it easier to handle than the myTouch 3G.

3. Though I may find issue with the durability, the design for expsoing they keyboard is nice.

4. Android 2.2 is very fast on the hardware and the UI expierence is a joy to use.

5. Andriod 2.2, in general, is much more polished than in 1.6 found on the myTouch 3G.

6. Tethering via USB with PDAnet continues to work well for my limited needs.

7. The camera, for a cell phone camera, takes great pics. I was able to get night pics the myTouch can't take and my Canon SD940 has trouble with without fiddling with it.

8. Email and data access are just simple much easier.

9. The dialapp is much better than Andiord 1.6. No lag and no werid defaults.

Engadget says "If you're looking for a top-tier Android player with little in the way of compromises, look no further. The G2 has arrived." Don't get me wrong SAMOLED looks brilliant that SLCD isn't too bad. But in the long run, software is what matters and thats why I feel the G2 is > then the Vibrant.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkage2424:
Ehh, the software is important but so is the hardware to run it. I think the G2 is a very capable phone that's going to last a long while and receive many software updates. I had my G1 since the day it came out until yesterday... mostly due to the big developer base keeping it current with new hacks and features. I hope the G2 gets perma-rooted and goes the same way as the G1. Even if it doesn't, this is an incredibly fast, solid phone - hardware and software-wise. IMO.

You have a leaked testfirmware installed: JPH... there is only one newer testfirmware: JPK, but there are no bis differencies to you JPH so you dont need to update. Android 2.2 (Froyo) is officialy not released by samsung, we are all wating. So it is all okay for you. Wait until samsung releases froyo officially and you can update. Your original firmware depends on the provider from which the phone may be bought in ireland.

... But please use the right sections to post here.. This is android development. We have a section especially for questions and answers.

[Droid X Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
That's actually the point of most of these ROMS. Provide a fast & stable base to work from. Everything you wanted/used is available in the Market. Just add back the things YOU want (and thus none of the stuff you didn't use in the first place).

good fast rom. nice to have options. I too am looking forward to obsidian but its not here yet so i say lets play with whats here. who knows i might not like obsidian i have no idea so i'll try all that come out and hopefully learn some things along the way. Thanks for the rom

[Desire HD General] RollingStar:
Well, according to these very forums, the US T-mobile G2 has a hardware root block - a chip which flashes the phone back to the original ROM every time it detects a custom one :mad:

Do you think HTC will place this same hardware root block on the UK Desire Z and more importantly, our precious Desire HD? Personally, I'd like to believe that HTC did this under pressure from T-Mobile US, but I don't know...
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Yes the desire HD will have the same protection as the G2. athough that sounds bad its not as bad as you would think.

1) there will be loads of devs working on the same problem (G2, DesireZ, DesireHD) so the quicker the full root will come

2) we can still "temporeraly" write to system unlike the Evo/Desire/ect. before root

Presumeing that the DesireHD is also vunrable to the rageagainstthecage exploit like the G2. Im pritty shure that it will be as G2 is and the ROM will be built at a similer time if :-D
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
The G2 is running Vanilla 2.2 though, so it may be somewhat different... Lets hope the Desire HD can be rooted ASAP, Im sure Paul OB has a few tricks up his sleeve;) He has an answer for everything you know;)))

[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
yeah i just read about this on Engadget. This could potentially be a major problem for us future DHD owners.
[Desire HD General] Volker1:
Nobody has confirmed yet that there is some sort of hardware block. To me it sounds more like a kernel customization. Anyways, give the G2 hackers a couple of days to figure it out. I wouldn't be surprised if non-US phones (where there is actually competition) will not see this crap.
[Desire HD General] RollingStar:
Thanks for your opinions guys! I guess the key is patience, it seems successful steps have already been taking in unlocking the device. With the combined effort of all of the HTC droid hackers, it shouldn't take very long at all :D
[Desire HD General] override182:
If they cant disable it, maybe they can make the phone reinstall a rooted version of the stock.. They have temporary root now, hopefully they manage to locate the hidden nand.. If they managed to get write permission to the part where the stock image/rom is, hopefully they will manage to make it restore a rooted version of it. If they manage to disable it, it would be easier for us to flash using rom manager etc but if they cant, we will just have to perhaps rely on restoring method. Its like a nandroid restore mechanism.

Just wishful thinking here, i do not know what they are doing now but hopefully it will work either hard or easy. Things go hard at first and hopefully will be more fluid as time pass by. Pray.. pray.. pray.. Go modders/devs!
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
I can tell you all now HTC will have HW R/W protection on there probably controled by the bootloader. They did it on the Desire/Wildfire/Evo they are not going to take a step back with this phone. 99% of the stuff ppl here about the G2 protection is wrong. i.e its not a rootkit :-s what happens.

Bootloader sets eMMC to R/O --> boots os --> any changes get bufferd --> on reboot bootloader restores removing changes

Thats what happens no one realy knows how the restores happen yet.

Root will come probably for all 3 devices at once.
[Desire HD General] kingkeld:
Personally, I can live without custom ROM, though I would prefer to have it. I currently own a Hero with MCR5, and love it.

But what is REALLY important is root access to access Market and download the many programs I have already purchased.

Here in Denmark, we only have the locked "free apps only" market. I need my CoPilot and much other stuff!

If I have root, and can run my "root required" apps, then I am happy.
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
Have you been inside a cave this last few days?!? If it's all about the market, google is going to open up to almost 30 new countries....

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/more-countries-more-sellers-more-buyers.html

Oh, but you tell me, that the X app or the Y app still is not going to be on my country's market...

But that's not google fault, now it up with the software devs to select what country market they want to be
[Desire HD General] phunkycow:
Still, not all countries are on that list (like mine for example).

So having access to paid apps is still a pretty good reason to have root.
[Desire HD General] Smartmob:
So, i need a help from you guys with this. I never had Android and have one question.

Ok, i understood that if i want coocked ROM i need to root it, BUT if I want instal crack games and programs and all availible apps from the net, do I still need this root?

Without root i can instal only free games and buy the one with price and thats all??

Thanks ;)
[Desire HD General] wywywywy:
Hang on, are you asking for advice on pirating? O_O

OMG!
[Desire HD General] daijoubu:

[Desire HD General] Smartmob:

[Desire HD General] kingkeld:
...And this is where MarketEnabler is great. I buy stuff from all over the place. Some I can maybe live without, but some I would hate to miss out on.

And I still need Root for Titanium Backup. :)
[Desire HD General] ahuenna:
Can somebody explain.. Is this feature "HW root block" will be affect every DHD or only SIM-locked (operator's) phones?

I'm using Galaxy S and it is not difficult to guess that I have pre-ordered DHD on Clove. My Galaxy's using experience tell me to be bad without having root access. So I have been a bit confused when saw this topic.
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
The DHD will have the same R/W (root) protection in place as the G2 (vision). I know this as its based on the same chipset and will contain the same eMMC.

HTC always do this on every "generation" of phone i.e desire/evo/ect. Generation had the same NAND lockout as eachother.

So every single shipping DHD will have the G2 style protection

Can a mod pls close this topic its pointless and missleading :-)
[Desire HD General] ErMeglio:
Apache you gave me a reason to wait details about this are 100% defined and I add..unlocked..before buying. Can't live with a locked Htc with no custom roms.

One question, can you point me where I can follow the development of this?
[Desire HD General] RollingStar:
How so? I'm asking a valid question, T-Mobile US may have pushed HTC into doing this, just like they did to remove Wifi tethering to the G2's supposedly 'Vanilla' version of Android... Do you work for HTC? All we can do is predict trends, nobody knows for sure if the DHD will share the US G2's exact chipset.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
my thoughts exactly.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
good one, i will go for that. :)

but we can guess that will find the answer to the root lock coz the DHD will not be alone, the desire Z and G2 is jest the beginning, after that more android devices and windows 7 mobile. some one must hack it. :cool:
[Desire HD General] stormfury_2:
No lock is impossible to break it will just take some creativity from the dev community. Someone will figure out a way to spoof the hardware in to thinking it's running stock software etc. Just sit back and wait or start figuring out a solution, gotta start somewhere with the coding :P
[Desire HD General] deadite66:
signed bootloader has stumped the milestone devs for nearly a year, i wont hold my breath for them to break it.
[Desire HD General] stormfury_2:
If someone can make it, someone can break it. Lateral thinking will prevail or people will boycot the manufacturers and retailers until something is done about it. (I hope)
[Desire HD General] ErMeglio:
That's what I say! You are all right about the fact there's no security that can't be broken and about the fact there will be more and more devices that need this and so plenty of developers working on a solution. But what about spending 600 € on a phone I want to "play" with because I used to do it and I like it and I actually don't know if and when I will be able to do it? It makes no sense to me. Long time ago I had a Motorola which was locked due to bootloader signature system and do you know when it was hacked? When it was in my drawer since two years. Useless.

So, that's why I'll first wait and see the if. And that's why before knowing this today I always thought Htc wouldn't do anything similar, it's hurting itself imho:(
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
ErMeglio - to wait is always an good idea for most of the people (not for me)

in the worse case - buy some desire or nexus :D
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
You've got it all wrong.

You should select your smartphone according to your needs.

If you do it right, then the lack of custom roms won't be a problem. root, maybe, but not custom roms.

The only subset of people susceptible to play with custom roms are those, who treat the smartphone as an expensive gadget and/or those, who also treat it as a development platform, like me.
