[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevep:
Hi All. I got myself into a bit of a jam with netCF3.5.

I've done a search here, but according to the wisdom already here, the install should be straightforward

Here's the problem:

I was experiencing a few probs with a few apps that needed it. They had been working fine, but all of a suddenly they started complaining that they couldn't find netCF3.5.

So, I downlaoded the cab and tried to reinstall. But, just as the instal was starting, my HD2 said: 'the required program is installed in ROM' (or something like that!)...and then the instal aborted.

The apps still won't run. I tried UN-installing CF3.5 from the device using 'uninstall apps' and managed to remove it. But when I then tried to re-install the cab again - I got the same message about it's already installed in ROM. Good job I had a full backup of everything! At least I'm back to where I was before I uninstalled it.

So, what have I done since:

1. Tried and retried a few times to reinstal, but it's made no difference

2. Checked the registry to see if it's pointing to the latest version of net cf3.5. It is

3. Pulled my hair out - that didn't take long :))

I guess I'm looking for a way to 'force' install netCF3.5 and stop the message about it already being installed in ROM.

Any help greatly appreciated.

(I'm normally pretty good with these sorts of problems, but this one has left me clueless)

Cheers

Dear Friends i've installed the new rom from HTC 3.14 with radio 2.15.

Android start and work fine but the audio during a call is robotic as an first version of Android.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Thanks at all.

Excuse for my english: i'm italian!:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
2.15 has been hit with many problems for us HD2 Android users, so that would be my first thing to change. If that doesn't fix it, try a more android friendly WinMo Rom but stick with 2.14 while you test.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Salvestro:
Thanks for your answer.

I've installed Android with old stock ROM 1.66 and radio 2.15 and this work fine.

Only with new original ROM HTC 3.14 audio is robotic.:p

The new radio does not allow HSPL ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
Robotic voice is mainly caused by the winmo rom, and the use of new audio drivers. Flash the winmo to a different rom like Energy, ChuckyDroid, or VBN.

Hello Friends,

In Windows Mobile (I use HTC TD2 - WinMO 6.5.3) has only one “screen lock” for entire phone.

But I have seen some Samsung mobile (may be Samsung Star – Touch model) that has one application where we can lock several stuffs. Like SMS, Contact, Call History and the Screen Lock too. So even after the screen is unlocked the user still need to enter SMS pin to open SMS; Contact PIN to open Contact etc.

In Sort: The device has multi level locks.

So I was looking for if we have some similar application already out for windows mobiles?

I have seen

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] prabhat:
Thanks Corwin9S for your reply.

Just wanted to reconfirm, if this has SMS Lock, Contacts Lock, Call History Lock etc along with the iPhone Style Screen Lock?

Edit:

IN the device that I seen (Samsung): Even after the screen is unlocked the user still need to enter SMS pin to open SMS and Contact PIN beore open Contact etc. Mean that has multi level locks.

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sakisds:
No, S2U2 will just put a password when you unlock your phone, it won't lock other stuff.

Edit: I think I know what you mean, my pixon did it too, well, you could always change the start menu shortcut to a simple app that asks a password to run the actual app. I am pretty sure I saw something like this around here before.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
I posted in a different thread because it had similar content, but I figured I'd stop hijacking someone else's thread.

This is quite rough at the moment, but I have compiled a statically-linked version of Opkg for armv5tel-compatible devices, which I believe includes most Android phones. So far, I have successfully installed packages from files and from repositories, and I'm still evaluating the possibility of using Opkg to maintain all sorts of things on the phone.

Opkg is a package manager not unlike Debian's dpkg/apt system. With this tool, we could easily install software from third-party repositories and keep it up-to-date. For now, there are some barriers against deploying Opkg on phones. Firstly, there are almost no Opkg packages for Android phones (though I do have some in my personal repository). Secondly, there is no GUI, and everyone loves shiny graphics. But I think these problems can be overcome, since Opkg is a pretty awesome little tool.

I posted this for a couple of reasons (other than to promote the use of Opkg on Android). So far, I know it works with HTC Dream and HTC Hero on CyanogenMod, but I'd like to know how it works on other types of phones if possible. I'd also like ideas and suggestions. Are there any Android developers or end-users out there who are interested in trying Opkg?

Anyhow, here're the links: [more info] [how to make a package] [how to make a repository] [downloads]

If you want to build it yourself, go ahead and knock yourself out ;p

Thanks for your time!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] telekenesis2011:
Hey, great to see im not the only person who had this idea. Thanks you for the links. I will try that on my Tattoo and play around with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
I'm glad to see that you've figured out what was wrong, and I hope you managed to get it working! Nevertheless, someone asked how to configure the preferred architectures, so here's my /cache/etc/opkg/arch.conf file:

arch all 1
arch any 6
arch noarch 11
arch arm 16
arch armel 21
arch apk 26
arch apkmdpi 31

Now, a hdpi device might have:

arch all 1
arch any 6
arch noarch 11
arch arm 16
arch armel 21
arch apk 26
arch apkmdpi 31
arch apkhdpi 36

Of course, these architecture names should be standardized. And while we're at it, we should also come up with sensible paths for configuration files and such; I don't imagine sticking everything in /cache would be a good long-term solution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] telekenesis2011:
Yes its working fine.

I would prefer to put the config under /data/local/etc/opkg it should be save there.

There is allready a tmp folder. So tmp goes like this: /data/local/tmp and for usr: /data/local/usr/opkg

Sections for apk-apps:

vendor/google
vendor/htc
vendor/acer
vendor/...

But we could also adapt the debian sections, so we havent to figure out this, and its already its well documented.

EDIT2:

According to the open moko wiki, there is only a feed.conf for the repository and a arch.conf for the architecture...

I like your idea and would like to try this, but right now I have a Garmin Asus M10 which is on Win 6.5, I would like to install android on this. I understand that A10 has android and it is compatible with M10. Any help in getting an android ROM would be appricitated. Once I have the android loaded I would love to use Opkg.

[G1 Android Development] Icebergxx:
In short!

Build a G1 rom without so many stock applications!!! This will defiitely cause a snappier feel to functionality.

(I once used a rom with 37 stock apps, the g1 can only handle about 40 unrooted! ridiculous!)

I've had a G1 since the beginning, and as things have progressed along no one has really noted how much we've crammed into the device with each OS update, much like bloatware.

I've recently been running the latest up to date roms I can find, and they don't run up to par, there is a lot of lag and waiting. This isn't to say all roms or slow or even any at all, just my experience and I hope with that we can build a 2.2 rom without added applications.

Maybe make two roms, a bare bones rom and a full one.

I don't need: launcher pro

an extra email client

3d gallery

music

news and weather

talk

voice dialer / search.

There are better alternatives on the market, and the voice search is horrible.

All Android phones will eventually slow down with OS updates, lets not cram the g1 with new services found on better phones. (bluetooth 2.0)

I think it's great progress I do, but I think the majority of g1 users would be grateful without them/ a pick between barebones and full roms.

I've deleted most of the apps mentioned above, but without the extra email app my gmail wont sync, and all sorts of quirky things.

The g1 isn't slow, it was fast and snappy with the firmware version it came out on, let's keep stock apps to a minimum!

Tried to keep this short, sorry.
[G1 Android Development] fonix232:
You know, you can easily edit any of the roms, by hand, or using dsixda's kitchen
[G1 Android Development] vishurao:
Or if that sounds too geeky, you can always install root explorer and delete the desired apk files from /system/app. it works for me. i remove the onscreen keyboard (extra 4mb of ram), voice search, voice dialer, bluetooth (which i rarely use, so i dont need it there), extra mail client,
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
soooo..

What your saying is because you dont want to do it yourself and you are the only one who uses these roms, the developers should do more work just for you.

You do understand how easy it is for you to delete what you dont want from a rom right?
[G1 Android Development] Icebergxx:
Let's refer to the OP and see what is now bolded.

I've used Root Explorer to delete apps (and still do) but it never is as sound as I'd like.

My Gmail won't sync and will crash after I delete the extra email.apk,

my contacts will crash when trying to join with FB small here and there things.

I'm all about being "geeky" with my phone, I'm a little bothered anyone would think I wasn't considering I've been using this device since the beginning with ADB and all that noise.

It was a suggestion for less technical users to not have the hassle. I read Cyan the other day saying how these devices are still fun to hack and they just keep adding to it not regarding (it seems) if it will be snappy and functional for every day use.

and thank you fonix232 I'll look into it

[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Simply install an 3rd party app like android commander and remove what you desire from /system/app. Going to request a close/move on this, as there isn't too much development going on here+already slightly off topic.

EDIT: Also remember barebone roms, about 2 or so were released. The reason why you don't see more as it didn't really impact the G1 that much. Let's face it, we're lacking ram mainly and os support.
[G1 Android Development] alongenemylines:
I uploaded a few stripped roms in the past, but nothing recently. This was mostly when I was repacking WG's kernel into various different roms. Now with AnyKernel Updater (and pershoot, dumfuq, exterry, etc) constantly building kernels, there's little need.

It really comes down to the fact that there isn't the perfect rom for everyone. It's easier for me to strip what I don't want out, throw some extra scripts here and there, and testsign the zip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzroman:
I have read the thread about how to get this function enabled on my device. There was a list of countries listed but unfortunately did not include New Zealand. The thread I'm talking about is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785201&page=13, post number 124. My CSC is I9000VNZJH2 which is not listed on there.

I would like to root my phone, but don't want to go ahead with it until the 3 button recovery/download is enabled. Could anyone suggest as to what CSC I should use please?

Once rooted I would like to get the latest/best current firmware, as mine is out of date. Any suggestions which I should use and where I can download it from?

Any other tips are much appreciated. :D

Hey AllGamer, thanks for the suggestion. Yeah I saw that thread previously. It's more talking about how to fix semi bricked phone. I actually don't want to risk getting to that point. Would be nice to be able to have the recovery enabled. I'm wondering if I can use the Australian version maybe. Such a bummer that NZ is a small market for Samsung to worry about their customers over here, which automatically cuts your choices. hehe
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sargorn:
I'd suggest PM'ing richthofen and asking if he has a CSC for NZ available. He mentioned in his JM9 thread that he has access to 'most' firmwares.

That said, I flashed with the post #1 method from PDA: JG4 and had no issues with that fix.

When I flashed up to JM9 I couldn't find a HK CSC from his posts either, but found a JH1 firmware from HK which included one on samfirmwares. If you can find a NZ leaked firmware somewhere that has PDA/MODEM/CSC separated files you can probably just nab the CSC from that and use it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlui:
Yeah I ran into a smiler issue, I'm in aus but I picked my phone up before it came out here from a HK warehouse, it's unbranded, and as far as I know an international version, I've yet to hear back from Richthofen, as I pm'd him with a similar question but with csc I90000ZSJH1 in place of the nz one. I was wondering if since it's an international version, it could pretty much take any of the unbranded firmwares? or as it's a JH1, which is fairly new if I could just do the fix on it's own as per original method? I'm desperate to play around with roms and lag fixes but won't do it until I have the 3 button recovery option set up.

What was your experience with a HK I9000? I'd like to confirm how you did it (in more detail) so I could do the same. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this so any help would be very appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzroman:
To a fellow kiwi, Richthofen said to use the method desplayed on the first page of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785201, as it's most up to date one, and it should work. I will attempt it at some point on the weekend. Will report once done. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sargorn:
Well, I used the method on the first page, just flashing the pbl/sbl. Exactly as it is there. :p

However, I was flashing from an Australian Firmware/csc (JG4). I bricked my HK phone two months ago trying to flash up to JH1 and sent it to Australia to get it serviced. (Wasn't released in Japan yet, and Samsung HK didn't want to deal with me at all).

That said, if you want to use the flashing a full firmware method (and when you do have to flash a full firmware later) just use the JH1 CSC (On samfirmwares under Asian firmwares). Haven't had any issues with that CSC on JM9 PDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzroman:
I decided not to go ahead with the enabling. The phone needed to rooted in order to use those instructions. The phone is still under warranty, so I'm going to request for the 3 button recovery/download mode to be enabled. Plus I have some weird errors when taking photos, might be just a corrupt external SD card. But I'd rather take it back to Samsung and let them fix it while still under warranty. :>
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WithinRafael:
I've been reading the forums for two days now and have gleaned lots of useful information in the dumping/building of WP7 (emulator) ROMs. I haven't, however, come across any information on replacing modules in the WP7 context.

While reversmode generates correct-looking output, it renders the built ROM unbootable; I'm guessing it's not built correctly.

To backtrack what I did...

I used the newer dumprom.pl, which spits out better PE binaries than its predecessor

I dropped a binary into reversmode

... and gathered the imageinfo.txt + Sxxx output and dropped them into the dumped ROM\MODULES\filename folder, overwriting the originals

Any guidance would be appreciated.

// twitter: @WithinRafael
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WithinRafael:
Sorry for getting everyone excited, I found the error in my ways. I wasn't aware (until now) that the binaries spit out by dumprom.pl are automatically decompressed. I used XIPPort to recompress my binaries (and fished them out of a folder relative to the executable).

Boots fine.

On a separate note, I'd like to rally everyone together and start getting better configuration management of this stuff. From what I've seen, these tools are spread out all over the damn place. Worse, the developers aren't including versioning information. I'm going to draft up some ideas on addressing the confusion and create a separate post. :)

yeah you may want to just start a thread with consolidated dumping/porting tools for these ROMs so we don't have to easter egg hunt :)

Nope. Mine shuts down and powers off everytime. It even says Goodbye. :)

[7 Mozart General] shamreez:
This must be a small glitch..

It happened to me the first two times.

It is becaused you press the button to shut down for too long that the phone also records a wake up button.

Leave the button immediately after you see the goodbye coming and it would shut down properly

[Epic 4G Android Development] tehdarkknight:
I need all your help on testing and finding a solid solution to get boot animations working for 100% of users and situations.

Desired behaviour:

1. Sprint files only -- shows Sprint animation.

2. bootanimation.zip only -- shows custom boot.

3. Both sets of files -- bootanimation.zip overrides Sprint.

Undesired behaviour: (i.e. things I've tried that have failed, or are ugly)

1. Sprint animation has fallback android animation overlay, blinking ANDROID over the Sprint stuff. UGLY!

2. Situations 1 and 2 work normally, but if both sets of files are present, both animations display.

3. Disabling sprint animation completely. This is not good, we want something to work for every user.

4. Custom boot animations that loop until boot completes don't stop when boot completes. This is very bad.

We need to thinktank some code to get this working right, so we can implement it easily in each kernel we produce.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
So it is ro=read only, heh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Ah, I love it! You weren't lying when you said elegant :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] tehdarkknight:
I do need you and others to test and improve upon it.

It doesn't act quite as expected, but even at this point it's far better than other alternatives.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Blah. Gone over several scenarios and they all end exactly where we are. I'm not so hot with scripting, but the pseudo should translate the same.

What about nesting if-thens? Don't assume anything (rw.kernel.android.customboot shouldn't be set until going through the if-thens). Create the parent if-then that checks for the Sammy/Sprint files. If it finds them, set rw.kernel.android.customboot to false, then write the nested statement to check for the custom boot files. If they are there, set rw.kernel.android.customboot to true. Then, to the parent statement, write an else that just sets rw.kernel.android.customboot to true. This should solve the problem. So:

if(Sprint/Sammy Files exist){
rw.kernel.android.customboot = 0
if(Custom Files also exist)
rw.kernel.android.customboot = 1
}
else
rw.kernel.android.customboot = 1
[Epic 4G Android Development] ttabbal:
I got it working a little better.

init.rc:

on property:rw.kernel.android.customboot=1
start bootanimcustom

on property:rw.kernel.android.stockboot=1
start playlogos1

service playlogos1 /system/bin/playlogos1
user root
oneshot
disabled

service bootanimcustom /system/bin/bootanimation
user graphics
group graphics
disabled
oneshot

customboot.sh

#!/system/bin/sh

if [ -f "/data/local/bootanimation.zip" -o -f "/system/media/bootanimation.zip" ]; then
setprop rw.kernel.android.customboot 1
else
setprop rw.kernel.android.stockboot 1
fi

I do, however, have a problem. The boot animation never ends. The system starts up and the UI is loaded, but the boot animation takes over the screen and never seems to die. Using adb shell I was able to see the process and kill it, which restored the screen to the OS. Any ideas on how to stop it automatically?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Are you using stock animations or a custom one?

Also, won't this run into the same problem? If both conditionals end up true, you've got it trying to run both.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ttabbal:
I tried the sketch android. I also noticed that the bootanimation2nd loads up an "Android" text that doesn't take over as much of the screen.

The conditionals can't both end up true, only one can ever be set in the shell script. If I delete the bootanimation.zip, I get the standard "Galaxy S" animation via playlogos. If I have a bootanimation.zip, that's what displays. It just never goes away. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Blah. That's what I get for not paying attention. I read the if-then-else totally wrong... I'm in class right now, doing Java programming... they meshed.

That's weird feedback, though. Eff Sammy making this harder than it needs to be.

Is it possible to nest with these shell scripts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ttabbal:
Nest? You mean like a nested-if-then-else?

if [ test ] then

if [ test2 ] then

fi

fi

That's the basic structure for shell scripts if-nesting if I'm understanding you right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Exactly. I've never actually worked with shell scripting before, so while I get the function, I just don't know enough to write my own. Syntax is weird like that. I don't see why it would loop.
