Okkkk so I was at tmobile first thing monday morning to get the HD7! last night I went ahead and exchanged if for a sexy plum MT4G!

Honestly using the HD7 was like using the iphone 2g again there is absotuley no multitasking....so for example if u leave ur instant messenger app to go text....it logs u completely out....if u leave slacker radio to text....slacker radio stops playing and u have to start all over when u go back...u never know when u have twitter new mentions or messages causes there's no notifications.....the camara button is down on the side where u hold the phone while ur talking on it so when Im taking a call I'm also taking 10 to 15 pics....there's others but ill stop here oh yea and no copy and paste (just like the first iphone lol)

And the biggest dissapoinment is....it wouldnt let me copy and drag files from my linux ubuntu 10.10...even on my windows 7 u have to download zune software....like it doesn't even find the phone when u plug it in....seriously its like the iphone wanna be....

But the screen, size, and keyboard is amazing

But being an iphone user then going over to android...i have to say I can't go back to no multitasking.....wp7 is a couple years behind as of right now...i would give a year or 2 lol when the software has matured and also the marketplace!

I went from a nexus one to a vibrant back to nexus one to a G2 back to a nexus one to a HD7 to a MT4G and absolutely adore this phone right out the box....DEF TAKE ADVANTAGE of tmo buyers remorse GOOD LUCK

What do you guys think of the look of the MT4G? Ppl said it looks kinda like for kids. Do you guys think it's sleek and professional? Im kinda skeptical about if i went out and get the MT4G and ppl think im using a kiddie phone.
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
My thoughts, I played with one yesterday in the store. It is nice, screen is nice and did not feel laggy, the screen scrolling was the smoothest I have seen.

But I agree with most of the other people as my choice was for th MT4G. One big issue is, MS and closed source. None of the WM apps for 6.5 will work on it and there are very few new apps available right now. This with old generation processor and less memory and potential for good ole Windows freezes and having to reboot is a good reason to give the HD7 a pass and I did.
[myTouch 4G General] Scoop24:
After my HD2 I wont be touching another wm phone. The app store was bad with the 6.5 wm. The fact that those old apps wont even work on wm7. Is enough for me to stay far.

P.s. I admit I am intrigued by the xbl connection though. But the hd2 soured me to the point of no return.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vova336:
ok first i wanna say that i have HTC HD2 and i am completly new to all this kind of hacking stuff.

My phone specs:

Hardware:

OS version: 5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82)

Manilla version: 2.5.19211619.0 (idk what it even is)

ROM version: 1.66.479.2 (76641) WWE

ROM date: 01/11/10

Radio version: 2.07.51.22_2

Protocol version: 15.32.50.07U

Hardware Information:

CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 8250B

Speed: 1024 MHz

RAM size: 448 MB

Ok so the question is: How can i get Android (Froyo please) working on my HTC HD2 and so that i can always return to my previous OS (WinMO6.5 the 1 that came originally with the phone) with all the settings and contacts.

Android --> HTC HD2

ps: sorry if this was discussed before, but i really dont want to risk my phone, this is why i beg you for help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OrionCarl:
been discussed a million times b4, but it DOES NOT delete your WM, it runs seperate, so to return to wm its just a case of turning it off and rebooting and it will be like it was b4
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t1h5ta3:
<edit> thank you for atleast being a helpfull newbie and posting as much info re: your current set up as you did. had you not, i probably would have posted the link and said search... <edit>

this thread has all the info you'll need..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734335

im in a good mood right now, first, read the stickies, then look at the info you psted... you need a newer wm build and a newer radio...

personaly, since you realy need to start every thing from scratch, thats exactly what i would do.

download the latest oem build, hspl, task29 etc.

do a factory reset

flash latest oem

flash hspl

factory reset again, boot into bootloader, run task29.

you now have a clean phone, no left over garbage

flash the wm build of choice.

on to android:

pop the sdcard out, copy any thing you want to save to your computer

format the sd card, if your on windows, dont do a quick format, DO A FULL FORMAT

put android build of choice on the sdcard

folow instructions from the build of choice

note: on first boot, every thread says it takes a while.... its true! theres alot going on, it just doesnt look like it. its going to take a good 20min for it to convert file systems etc (this is why the full format is important)

personaly i recomend even once android boots up the first time, leave it alone for 5 min! dont even sign in! after the wait, do the setup, let it sync, then let it sit for another 5 after the synch.. reboot!

on 2nd boot, go ahead log into google maps, market etc.... search for some apps, play with ring tones, blah blah blah... .

last but not least, folow the link in my sig on battery conditioning....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dj_ghosie:
Actually, there's no need to HSPL the phone!

Since the latest firmware update (the 3.14) will also update his radio to 2.15!

All one has to do is (after reading those stickes etc. of course!):

1. Update the phone as per instructed in the official HTC website

2. Look for a Froyo build in the Android development and follow its instruction

Cheers!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vova336:
Wow guys, thanks alot. Look like i will have to read all that stuff for all this evening :D

btw, if i have like 500mb on phone memory and 2GB microsd card, will it be enough for Froyo ?

edit: after reading for like 2 hours i understood that i understand completly nothing. all i kno is that i need something thats called hspl (it requires something thats called spl, and anyways i didnt understood where to look for it) then i need to install like 1 wm rom, then only get android and do some majick with files. blah xD

anyways, thx for help, guys !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t1h5ta3:
no, its not NEEDED, but id highly recomend it.

there are alot of steps people can take as shortcuts, alot of those shortcuts cause issues for some people.

for some one just starting out, esp for some one that pretty much needs to update every thing anyways, i recomend cutting out possable headaches, and wipeing EVERYTHING.

a clean nand and a fresh sdcard go's A LONG WAYS twards a stable system, esp since we need to basicly dual boot. its almost like running in a virtual machine, so any issues in the base os can result in issues in android.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
Hello all,

After updating to Dj Steve's 1.2 Froyo, i very disliked some of the stock icons. I have updated signal strength icon, signal icon, wifi icon, gps icon, usb connected icon, notification background window and notification font color. Please enjoy the new icons! 2 different themes, 1 with signal icon download/upload arrows and the other without. I will also entertain any comments, suggestions, and requests.

also stay tuned for the return of my black notification bar as soon as official froyo is released.

1. Download iconupdates1.4witharrows.zip or iconupdates1.4withoutarrows.zip.

2. Extract framework-res.apk from zip to your SDCARD.

3. Backup current framework-res.apk located /system/framework.

4. Mount /system/framework as RW, and copy framework-res.apk from step 2 into the folder. You can use ADB or Root Explorer to copy over new file.

5. After file copies, phone will reboot and you will have your new icons!

To restore old framework-res.apk, simply perform same steps except copy over the backed up files from step 3.

Ok more changes.

Different battery icon, signal icon, gps icon, usb connected icon and stuff

I tried this skin, but went back to the original because I prefer the animated icons.

Got one with animated icons? :rolleyes:

Cool, thanks for this, gonna put in on my streak now and will report back ;)

hey there,

by looking at ur pic, u r running 2.1/2.2? how did u manage to get 8 shortcuts in one row?

thanks mate
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] NoDoze:
ADW or LauncherPro

Both UIs allow you to customize your screens.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
Yessir like nodoze said launcher pro allows icon resizing.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] zgmf-x322a:
i thought launcher pro allows widget resizing? not icons?

regarding that pic....it seems that its using the live wallpaper and by looking at the sidebar....its a 2.2.......corrct me if im wrong :S so i dun think its either launchpro or adw.......

both adw and launcherpro consumes more battery power :D
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
With launcher pro you can resize the homescreen grid which is what you are seeing. I havent noticed any battery drain with launcher pro. But live wallpapers drain abit faster.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] NoDoze:
Is there going to be a new release now that 1.4.1 is out...???
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
yes so far my attempts have caused an endless dell logo reboot. Kinda confused on why at the moment.

I plan on having 2 themes. stock icons with black notification bar only and then my modified icons for 1.4.1. Dell official when the rom is not so bugged. Thanks for your interest!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] yosemite_sam:
I just wanted to show some appreciation for your work. I hope you get it working on 1.4 too. Great work and always appreciated.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
thanks for the feedback i really appreciate it.

I made progress and believe i have squared away the stuck on dell logo issues. will have more info tomorrow and hopefully a release.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] odyseus:
I have an unlocked streak with 2.2 Froyo, updated the framework-res.apk now stuck in dell logo, how can I recover back to Froyo??
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
hopefully you have backed up the original framework-res.apk.

if so copy it to your folder with adb on your PC. boot streak into clockwork. connect streak to pc. then on your pc run command adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

reboot streak and you should be fixed.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] odyseus:
Hi Thanks for that managed to re-flash back to stock 2.2 (EU 309).

When I had my HTC Desire, I used to copy the framework-res.apk to SD card, transfer to PC and change name to framework-res.zip. I then used an archiver to copy a new set of icons into the colour-res folder (or something like that?) rename the file back to apk and copy back to the phone.

Is this process the same for the streak??

All the best

John
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
Since you copied the framework-res.apk for a different build you had the endless reboot. In normal circumstances your method above would work fine to revert to the old framework.

I read up on the "battery issue with the TP2" in the forum and the FAQ.

My phone had several charging cycles and the battery life doesnt seem to improve.

Is there no fix for the battery issue?

I checked the V_MBAT Value in TBattery (pre-installed in Energy Rom), it still shows 3.7V when my phone automatically switches off. Immediately after charging the level is about 4.1V

The Final Discharging Voltage of a Li-Ion Battery is typically a minimum of 2.5V (i would tolerate a security of around 0.3V, but what is this?)

->What is your Battery voltage before the TP2 switches off automatically?

Maybe someone also can answer these questions:

-Does a part of the OS decide to Poweroff the device or does it happen automatically when the battery doesnt delive enough voltage anymore?

-What parameters is the OS using to determine the battery charge level?

Hi All,

Some time ago I've created a game called "Boulders and Diamonds" for Android.

The game was similar to well known 80s game "Boulder Dash", but contained no original code, graphics, levels or name. I've also added a lot of additional elements never present in "Boulder Dash", which makes game-play very different.

But after few weeks after distribution, I've got an email from "President" of First Star Software (original Boulder Dash publisher - not author!), that my game is not legal and have to be removed from market, because is violating their copyrights. See email below for details.

They assume that nobody can use falling stones or any other elements which were present in "Boulder Dash". Actually, thinking this way leads to conclusion that there is no legal application created nowadays, because every application contains some elements introduced previously!

Do you think they are right and I cannot create a game which is similar (but not the same) to their game or everything they say is just a bull****?

Note: As far as I know they don't have any patents for a game.

I've decided to unpublish my game from Android Marked for now.

Thanks in advance for comments.

This happened to me as well. I called Customer Loyalty and the rep said that they just switched warehouses and that many orders have been getting lost. He said that my order was lost and would never ship. He was not able to cancel the order but was able to put a note in my account to allow me to upgrade "again" at a T-Mobile store. I suggest anyone who has been stuck in a "being processed" call Customer Loyalty and get it resolved...

Hope this helps.
[myTouch 4G General] Legaleye3000:

[Vibrant General] brodie7838:
I can't seem to get Clockwork Mod to boot into its recovery. Every time I try, it gets halfway through booting into CW recovery, reboots, then boots into the stock Android recovery mode.

Some back-story to what lead up to the current situation:

* Installed Obsidian V2 (and followed the instructions to the 'T')

* Experienced issues copying data to my Vibrant when mounted as storage (The parameter is incorrect)

* Found this thread and formatted internal sdcard from within Windows.

* Formatting seems to have resolved the 'parameter is incorrect' error, but the Internal SDCard is now stuck formatted at 2.18GB (tried FAT, 32, & NTFS), and the remaining ~14GB are MIA.

* If I re-name Obisdian to update.zip and attempt to 'reinstall all packages', it fails the first time, then I get this error message anytime after that until I reboot again, then rinse, repeat.

This has left me with 2 distinct problems:

* My internal sdcard is stuck at 2GB.

* I can't boot into ClockWorks Recovery to re-flash any ROM.

I'd like to avoid having to Odin, but I don't see any way around these issues, or am I missing something?

Disclaimer: I've made a best effort to search the forum before resorting to a post.
[Vibrant General] icandy75:
Simple fix, go into rom manager and click flash clockworkmod recovery. Then click reboot into recovery and reinstall packages it should work every time.
[Vibrant General] brodie7838:
CW is already flashed:

Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2

Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2

Edit:

Just tried re-flashing CW (third re-flash). It says it was successfully downloaded. Going to try update.zip again.

Edit x2: Strange, this time it's working after re-flashing CW again.

Any thoughts on the internal sdcard being stuck at 2GB?

[Vibrant General] icandy75:

MacNut 10 is the bomb. A few minor issues but really smooth. One of my apps (6abc news) is force closing all the time now. I reinstalled it but no go. I ran, or tried to run a Fix permissions. Whereas it used to do like a 2-5 minute dance, it took all of 1 second and said to reboot. Somehow I just can't see that it did anything of value in 1 second. Is there something new and improved in FroYo that would make ir zoom through every app in 1 second, or is it not working properly? TIA...
