[myTouch 3G, Magic General] schaggo:
Hi Guys

Spent some time on Maemo with my Nokia N900 I got last February. I dropped the thing, it broke apart, and for the time being I had/have to "come back" to my old but beloved HTC Magic. I spent the last couple days trying to find some decent ROM, but geez, lots and lots has happened in the last 9 months and I don't quite like it all that well...

Ok, I present my demands with my hopes high up that someone has the answer to my probs:

I find Sense unusable, it's a memory hog, huge, laggy, eats up all the devices power. So a Non-Sense-ROM.

I don't like the black-green-HTC-look. Stock looks, more than sufficient.

I *do* like HTC's dialer ("Smart Dialer" see pics below) which came with the original 1.5 ROM though.

Speaking of 1.5, I *do* like some of the features in 1.6, 2.0, 2.1 and so on. So newer would be cool, but not an absolute must.

And, speaking of newer: I quite liked the apps-drawer in the older days. I guess the old-school app-drawer as pictured in the other pic below could be added later, right? ADW and LauncherPro and such are cool, but I really really really rather like it simple but faaaaast... :p

I put my eyes on AmonRA's Donut-ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538645) which is pretty stock. I used it 'bout a year ago. Cool stuff, but I have to admit, it *is* quite aged and it's missing the HTC Dialer (see pics below). If there's no better possibilities, any way to get the dialer in and keep the ROM as clean and lean as it is?

CyanogenMods are cool as well. But, when I left, CyanogenMods were still accepted as they were ;) No Google Apps sueing ASOP stuff reflash apps and such. I tried to get the hang of it, but coming back after 9 months isn't quite that easy. So if a CM-ROM would be my answer, you guy's would have to help me out a little on how to get a "full" ROM. Of course, including the damn dialer ;)

So quick recap: Does anyone know of a stock-as-possible ROM which has or could be equipped with the screenshotted original HTC Dialer pictured below which is fast as hell because it's not crapped with the Sense stuff...?

Thanks in advance. Hope any of you guys can help me out...!

Post scriptum edit I

: Found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811960 but of course it's missing the dialer. Seriously, seems alot of my headaches could be solved if I just knew how to get the damn dialer... :-/

I know you said non-sense ROM. But honestly, no offense but I think your preconception of Sense UI is based on the older laggy builds from HTC, speaking for myself having used almost every ROM on this forums for my Magic, the Sense ROMs cooked by the devs here are fine. Just as fast as vanilla ROMs like CM.

Now if you said you don't like the looks of Sense then I would understand given thats a personal preference.

Hi:

I am looking for this ringtone. I have searched Google, and xda, and I don't seem to be having any luck.

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
I thought this was a real ringtone. I had to do a double take when I found out it was only 4 seconds long... Why you'd want this is beyond me, but here you go. I assume you know where to put it on your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincy1020:
Lol! Thanks so much. The reason I wanted it is that my boyfriend has some hearing trouble, and that horrid ring seems to be the only one he hears well.

Anyway, thanks so much!

[Nexus One General] ROM_Guest:
Hi Guys,

I recently bought my Nexus one this past weekend. I'm coming from a Windows Mobile fan(boy) perspective of many years. Not the hugest linux fan, but at least the base level of Android control is a menu and not "dev cmd etc" command line stuff

I like the Nexus one so far. I tried CompanionLink/gSyncit/Nitrodesk Touchdown/Android-sync(Alpha)/Remember The Milk etc, and they all don't sync Outlook very well..so I'm happy to keep my Winmo phone for its use for that, which is excellent and easier to type imho for that kind of stuff within a windows environment. Kind of like a Palm pilot.

As for Apple. I'm proud to say I've never touched one for years, until yesterday. I *had* to get my father a slidey smartphone as a gift, because they're awesome to see and navigate. Since he's not a big data guy I couldn't justify a nexus one, so a used iphone 3G fit the bill.

Hope i don't have to touch it too much tho!

Anyways, I thought I'd give you guys some history on where I'm coming from as an introduction and seeing as I havent posted on here in a few years.

So..regarding my questions:

*Nandroid backups Question

- A nandroid-ext backup will not occur, and will display the ADB Error if you don't actually have an extended partition on your SD Card, correct?

I was trying to do an Nandroid+ext backup, because noobishly i thought it just meant it would backup everything. It didn't work, and neither did the "plug it in the charger tricks" etc, or check if you have enough sd space. So I figured it was because i didnt actually have an extended SD partition. Stock 4gig micro SD btw.

A NAND backup worked after that.

- How do I check if my SD card has an extended partition btw?

*Sdcard/Nandroid folder Question

Are nandroid backups saved here in a chronological order?

Meaning

/first directory asfldkjsdafjs/

/second directory aslkdfjljds/

First is my stock rom backup?

Second is my Cyanogen backup?

Say I do a third backup (it appears third right)? Will it be my Cyanogen backup *plus* all my added stuff I've done since then? Like widgets, contacts, email account setups?

*ROM Recovery

- So as a noob I'd like to play around a bit. But I'd also like to populate my phone with backgrounds (sd card), contacts, ringtones (sd card), Apps (sd and main mem) etc.

Say I want to move from my current rom (cyanogen 6) to say MUIMUI (sp?) in a week. When I goto Bootloader recovery and select the Muigungui.zip, will it still keep the phone "mine" on restore?

Thanks a lot for your help guys! I hope to join the Nexus One discussions now too after this my first post!
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Your Nandroid backups are named by date and time of your backup.

Every backup you make, backups ALL user-accessible partitions on the phone. That includes pretty much EVERYTHING, both system (ROM) and data (everything else). All the rest of your questions have answers logically derived from this statement, please use the required logic.

Your SD card doesn't have anything unless you made it - which is obviously not the case, or previous owner made it - which is also obviously not the case, since you had stock ROM.
[Nexus One General] ROM_Guest:
Thank you Jack.

I understand better now.

On looking at my sd folder structure, I see:

sdcard/HT096P800012/BCDES-date-4 numbers

Does the HT096P800012 subfolder stay the same, or does nandroid add more HT subfolders in time. (just a curiousity question)

In the 4 numbers part, if I did two backups on 201001103, does the higher number indicate the most latest backup by the logic you describe?

also, some backup folders have nandroid.md5 as a file and some don't. What is that?

Nerdy questions I know. I do thank you for your help?

(PS: If I update my radio with a new one, that doesn't affect my phone proper right?)
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
The upper folder stays the same - it's the name of your device.

4 numbers are hours and minutes ;)

nandroid.md5 is MD5 sum of the backup, for verification. Not needed for restoring, AFAIK.

Radio doesn't affect your phone in any bad way, as long as it's compatible with your OS (radios for Eclair were different from radios for Froyo), and as long as you're flashing it correctly, without removing the power from the phone when it's in process of flashing.

I accidentally deleted my swype system app backup. Now I am trying to reinstall it back by taking swype.apk from system dump that I downloaded somewhere on this forum and place it to System/app then run the install.

Everything looks fine as far as installation but then when I try to use it, it always says that this swype was configured for different devices. I am able to type using swype keyboard but I am not able to swype.

Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

I think I read some where that charging with the A/C charger and NOT plugging it into the computer to charge will allow the phone to charge faster..

But is that it?

I charge my phone every night with my computer and the supplied USB cable..

Its always 100% in the morning (or 90, or inbetween, depends)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
If you're charging from the computer, it will charge at 500 mAh (so as not to damage the computer's USB port). If you're charging with the AC adapter, it will charge at 1000 mAh. So AC will charge faster, but both will reach the same point eventually.

I've heard that only charging over USB will make your battery last longer before you have to replace it - I guess charging faster wears it down more. However, I don't know too much about that.

I have two (2) Exchange accounts (that's just the way it is), and NEED to be able to sync them into one calendar on my TP2. I never enter calendar appts on my phone, so I just need to sync the two one way to show in the same calendar on my phone.

Any ideas? This is starting to become a MUST
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] galingula1:
This looks interesting....

As of Activesync 4.x, for some unfathomable reason, MSFT has removed

the possibility to sync one device with two exchange servers, or two

PC's connected to excahnge servers. This drive me insane when I bought

my first WM5 device. But after much googleing, I found a workaround.

So, to sync two exchange servers, put this in the device's registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollina*tion]

= (DWORD) 1

This key will most probably be there already, but if it is, its value

will be 0. If so, change it to 1.

Soft reset, then, setup activesync ON THE DEVICE (If you try setting up

on the PC, it will still fail).

I'm now syncing an Exchange connected PC with with another Exchange

Server directly - work like a CHARM.

But this will end up making the 2 exchange account calendars identicle and combine them on my phone, right? I don't want that, I want to PULL the appts from account 1, and sync the appointments on account 2. So...my phone would show a combined calendar, merging account 1 & 2. Account 2 would have the combined calendar sync'd on both my phone and the exchange account calendar. Account 1's exchange account calendar would only show its original appts. That's what I want to do. Yea, that's it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Your workaround, as I understand it, will have the device sync with server A first. It will then sync with server B. As it syncs to B, it will send its data collected from A to B. When finished syncing with B, it will sync again with A. In doing this, both servers and the device will all have the same data. There is no way to change this to my knowledge without modifying the way ActiveSync works.

In a nutshell , the workaround will sync and finish with all three having the same data.

FOLLOW EVERY STEP IN THE FIRST PART EXCEPT ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH UNREVOKED AND STOP AT THE BLUE *(ASTERISK).

SECOND STEP

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=721055

This has two versions, i used the one with pc and adb shell because i cant type for **** on the evo and didnt want to make a mistake on any file ( i recommend adb shell)

SCROLL DOWN AND FOLLOW THE "****ROOTING AFTER OTA 1.47.651.1 (Full Root)****" ITS IN BLUE AND YOU CANNOT MISS IT.

THIRD STEP

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485&highlight=radio

download the combo pack for latest Radio, WiMAX, PRI & NV

PS. before you do the second step, find a rooted rom you fancy, download it and place it on the root of your sdcard. you will thank me later. i prefer deodexed stock roms...also, word to the wise, on the second step theres a file thats called "Rooting OTA Files.zip" that you will need to download and extract to the sdcard. When you do this it will create a folder on your sdcard with the 5 files in it. take the files out of the folder and copy them to the root of the sdcard and delete the empty folder. that is the only thing that this process didnt make perfectly clear. other than that everything works fine.

This may be because of the screen resolution issue. Because the screen resolution of the Mini is lower than normal the market only shows up apps that developers have marked as compatible with this lower screen resolution.

With my servers (on which I've run Linux for 14 years) a daemon like Apache will run on a given machine, and is presented to other machines through a reverse SSH tunnel.

Hello.

Okay so I had HSPL 1.42 on my phone.

I extracted the 'RUU_signed.nbh' of the official 3.14 stock ROM from the .exe file that HTC provided.

I changed it's name to 'LEOIMG.nbh' and placed it on the root of my SD card.

I then tried flashing the new ROM by entering the bootloader.

For some reason (power was NOT lost) the ROM upgrade failed half way through.

Now when I try and boot the phone normally, it displays a grey screen with an alert symbol saying 'Software update failed. Please try again'

It then takes me to the bootloader screen

The SPL version has changed from HSPL 1.42 to SPL-3.03.0000

Below these details it displays the message 'Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again'

Due to the SPL version being 3.03, I am unable to install any HSPL version onto it again.

When I try to flash the official ROM 3.14 again via the official RUU (via laptop) it fails
