Hi folks. Dunc001 etal......great job on the christmas theme..love it.

I'm still having problems with the Email stuff showing correctly. I have used CHTE to change the Email text and sub text colors. But, they never change. It just stays black, and the title part is a gray color.(sub text?).

So the message overview is very difficult to read on the red package.

I tried using the manilla file that was on this thread refferencing someone else having the problem. It totally screwed up the Email stuff...lockups as well.

Forgot to back up that manilla file, so I totally cleaned everything out and started over.

Using the Dec 13 Energy Rom DinikGlass.

So, I'm at a point...must be missing some step(s).

Saw the posting on how to change the Email stuff, using the editor and graphics pgms.

so, if needed I guess I could try that at some point.

But, I really jsut want my text color to look like yours Dunc001.

So, if possible..could I get a step by step; I have to be missing something.

Thank You for your help.

Hey, can you guys fix the cab "CHTWidget_days2xmaseve_Rat_Dunc", so that bug with the white square disappear? I need that version, coz I'm from Sweden and our christmas is on the 24th :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Here is a small collection of christmas fonts i've collected and have been playing around with. I thought i should share because i'm positive you guys will enjoy. for example.. Poyensa's clock can be modified to further improve the look of our christmas themes. and then theres softkeys, etc, etc that also utilize these christmas fonts. There are 7 different ones included in the zip. enjoy everyone!!
[HD2 General] Lahnas:
My friend was testing out my phone and decided to put his Bell sim card into my "unlocked" T-Mobile HD2. The problem we couldn't figure out was why the phone wouldn't get any signal what so ever and even configured my phone to Bell Mobility settings.

I use Energy's Rom and changed some of the Band/Network setting but that didn't seem to work.

Any suggestions?
[HD2 General] mistamikel:
Tmo HD2 uses normal gsm and 1700/2100 hsdpa aka aws, bell does not support that. Wind mobile uses aws (which is what i am using with my hd2) all though you should get a roaming signal.
[HD2 General] Lahnas:
I know in Energy's Rom there is an option to change the 3G bands from like 850+1900 and stuff, shouldn't that work?
[HD2 General] mikeseth:
removed.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Is that Bell SIM card for a prepaid account? If so that's why it doesn't work. Prepaid cell services don't work the same way as regular ones, and have to use specially configured devices in order to gain a signal.
[HD2 General] Lahnas:
Thanks for the replies! Yes i think the Bell Sim Card is a prepaid account one. The probably explains the problems we were having.

What are some carriers that are confirmed to work with the T-Mobile HTC HD2? Rogers, Fido?, Wind?, Mobilicity?

Also want to know if i'm using Rogers would the 3G capability work. I am currently using Energy's Rom.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Roger's Wind and Mobilicity are the ones that I know for sure should work. I dunno about Fido, but basically any GSM service around the world that DOESN'T use prepaid SIM cards should work with an unlocked HD2, or any device for that matter. And as far as Roger's 3G capability I don't know, what bands does Roger's use for 3G access? The TMO US HD2 uses AWS 1700/2100.
[HD2 General] Lahnas:
I believe rogers uses 850/1900. Not too sure but thats what i heard. Theres an option on the rom i flashed to enable 850+1900 umts or something. Im guess that would work. Cause i know if you use the stock rom that came with the T-Mobile, you the 3G doesn't work since its like 1700/2100.
[HD2 General] djdanska:
The rom will not enable 850 or 1900 umts. Ask any at&t subscriber trying to use a tmo hd2 on their network and trying to use 3g. Won't happen. If your looking for 3g, you need aws (and canada does have one, i don't remember who they are at the moment) or 2100mhz 3g/umts. gsm will work with a lot more bands.
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
your wrong the Prepaid part, most prepaid cards do work like At&t, some dont work if they are like the ones sold by wallmart, but ANy GSM Sim card should work. i tried it on AT&T, VODAFONE AND AIRTEL

Those options are there in all of his roms, but the phone doesnt have the hardware to support it
[HD2 General] Lahnas:
So you are saying UMTS(2100) will work with rogers 3G? Cause i know the stock T-Mobile roms have a GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100) band option.
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
yeah but only If Rogers supports 2100 cuz i dont think they do but i could be wrong
[HD2 General] mistamikel:
Im using prepaid on wind mobile both voice and data.
[HD2 General] corster:
Won't work. Bell (and Telus, Virgin, Koodo, Solo) only has 850/1900 HSPA... which this phone doesn't.

Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron have 1700 AWS so this phone will work with them, ditto for Rogers and Fido but in 2G mode only (since they have 850/1900 GSM)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thrice43:
First off, I would like to say that I love this phone. I've built a couple takes of CM using the Cyanogenmod source, and am quite aware that it is based off of AOSP along with other custom modifications etc. I may be wrong, but from what I can infer, the buildspec.mk file that you must copy to the root of the source folder determines the build when you make. If CM is made from AOSP, and already contains a full working AOSP setup/configuration, how would I go about building a straight AOSP rom from the source without any external additions?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr123:
Everything is based on AOSP. Everything. If you want to build pure AOSP, you need to download AOSP from AOSP. You can't build pure AOSP from source that IS NOT pure AOSP because it HAS BEEN CHANGED.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
Moved to Q&A
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thrice43:
Well, I pulled the files from AOSP git but I have no other build/make files to go off of other than Cyanogen's. How would I know what lines to comment out and what lines to keep?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyDom:
I think you will have more to do to get something built from scratch. From a software engineering perspective you will have to use some code that was built to bridge between the hardware (G2 specific) and the stock operating system. This is a classic UNIX paradigm - the source is portable, but you have to have the interfaces to the hardware to hook in and create a complete set.

I'm finding that my phone has a Froyo WiFi calling app, and this is being used under Gingerbread because I'm using CM7.0.3 (Gingerbread based ROM). Not a clean combination.

I'm working from the CM source tree... Take a look here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Vision

Has anyone had any luck sideloading the vending.apk to the nook?

(edit: possible that it will work based on youtube.apk after sign in to you tube. )

some people are reporting success!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rutter9:
I think the issue is that before it's installed the Market app needs to be made to work on the device. Odds are by default that the market app will not work until someone will be able to edit it's properties.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] epakrat75:
The Market (vending.apk) has dependencies which be installed before it can work. The Setup Wizard that is normally present which links the device to a particular Google account is not present.

Even with the Market working, the NC isn't licensed for use with Market so it likely would have to use another device's fingerprint such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab. This is change is typically made to the "build.prop" file.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
Shamelessly stolen from this forum:

/system/framework/com.google.android.datamessaging.jar (often absent, seems works without it)

/system/framework/com.google.android.gtalkservice.jar

/system/lib/libgtalk_jni.so

Also, the market should work without a fingerprint, BUT some copy-protected apps might be hidden. I'd get the market up and running first, then worry about the fingerprint stuff.

Also, yes, you'll probably need SetupWizard, but that can most likely be grabbed from...well, pretty much anywhere, including an emulator image.

I'd try it myself, but I won't be getting my NC til tonight.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mastaxn:
I think the issue currently is that Setup Wizard doesn't appear to want to work over wifi.

I was able to get all of the Google apps installed last night but the Setup Wizard won't use wifi to sign into my account. Market and Gmail appear to want to work, but shoot you over to the Setup Wizard. The logcat doesn't show much with regards to fatal exceptions.

I'm open to ideas. It got really late last night so I didn't really get to try much.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] axe2:
Have you tried this? Where did you get the dependencies? I tried a gapps that was suggested from CyanogenMod, and it runs, but will not log in. The assumption was that it was trying to connect over 3G rather than Wifi. As of last night I thought it was still unsolved.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
The last line of my post says "I'd try it myself, but I won't be getting my NC til tonight." :)

I don't see any particular issue with connecting over Wifi unless the Nook has a weird setup. We did the same thing with the Pandigital Novel and it worked fine (and that doesn't have 3G either).

Hopefully I'll have time to give it a shot tonight.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] axe2:
It also worked fine on the g-tablet, but something is configured different on the NC. The more eyes looking at it the better!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SystemIdleProcess:
SUCCESS!!!

I was able to get Vending.apk to install but I also had to install the following:

SetupWizard.apk

GoogleApps.apk,

GoogleCheckin.apk

gtalkservice.apk

But since I can't seem to get it to register my Google account it does no good.

So how do we get the SetupWizard to work?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] david_beholder:
If by the chance you're being able to put files above somewhere i would definitely join your quest.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SystemIdleProcess:
Market.7z
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
I pretty much got to the same place. I'm not really sure why SetupWizard wouldn't go through, if it is an issue with something they modified or something else. Unfortunately, they're using a really non-standard Settings.apk, and if I push that over and boot the Nook won't start until I revert it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SystemIdleProcess:
Is there maybe a way to set this information without going through the wizard? Maybe a db or prop file somewhere?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SystemIdleProcess:
Thinking that it might be the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk I tried installed it however, got the following error.

[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]

I wonder if it can't go through the wizard due to a cert not being loaded.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Kdragon75:
Would it be poisible to to just push the accountsandsyncsettings.apk
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
I'll probably play some more tonight. One error message that stuck out to me was "GoogleLoginService not available", though that is supposed to live in Google Apps (which was pushed), so I'm not sure why it's having issues.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Kdragon75:
Clockworx if you get market working that would be amazing!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
I'm probably spoiled from working on the Pandigital before this. That was a piece of cake, push over the appropriate stuff and Google Apps worked. I'm not really sure what the issue is in this particular case. It's most likely that Pandigital did a really lazy job building their ROM from an emulator image, and BN has done some more customization and removal of stuff, which in turn may be causing problems.

Hopefully it won't be a huge issue.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] david_beholder:
Thanks Man, gonna play with it tonight!

Posted by....clockworx :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
Given the slight similarity of usernames in both forums I can deduct you followed your 3rd cousin's directions, it didn't work and we're back to square 1, hence the purpose of this thread ;)

My original idea was to see if I could maybe pull apk files from the emulator. That prompted the question of IDs etc...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
Well, Google Signon doesn't work at all, which is a prereq to the Market. Once we're past that, then yeah the ID stuff can be an issue.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
Ok, so idea...

Google credentials are cached someplace, yes? If they're cached on G-servers and they go by tablet ID (which is what the original thread was implying) then this is a long road ahead.

But if they're cached on the Nook, I'd say file copy/paste should do something, wouldn't it? Again, my knowledge of Android is very limited at this point, but after all it's a tiny computer running 0s and 1s. Operating systems may be different but they all follow the same basic design.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
They're stored on the device, along with the ID. You can use most google apps (other than Market and Talk) without an Android ID. For Talk and Market, you need both.

We could possibly copy over someone's working Google ID setup (in the form of a sqlite DB), and that might work, depending on if the issue is the initial login or any login. My guess would be that doing that still wouldn't help.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
But that would leave that someone crippled (cloned ESNs come to mind) unless this is done in a different manner, such as for example an Android port, like the one I was playing with in my TouchPro2. I've since deleted it but market worked like a charm. Would this be an avenue worth considering?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] barrosd12:
So we're sure the problem is something on the NC-side and not the server side rejecting the request? Is there any way to log what's happening on the NC when the error in accessing the Market occurs?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
I'm not quite sure what you mean, but you can have the same Android ID over multiple devices (though it isn't recommended). I don't think you'll find an avenue of help from any particular Android Port, it's my guess that BN tweaked something in their build that will need to be undone. Of course, I've been wrong before...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] axe2:
The error appears to be that the registration process can't talk to the Google servers. Any chance they blocked a port that's needed for registration?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] barrosd12:
Maybe when the NC sends its ID to the Google Servers inside the app, it's recognized as foreign/unknown and then gets rejected back? If that's the case, maybe we can spoof the ID of a different device onto the NC in order to get it to talk to Google...but that's just conjecture, just trying to see if someone on here who knows the actual coding gets any ideas rolling around
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
Based on the Pandigital, I don't think that's the case. Google requests a phone ID when allocating an Android ID (for the market), but other Google services such as mail and contacts worked fine before that was fixed.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
I think any of the above possibilities are valid. But I'd say, since the same ID can be used by multiple devices until Google realizes it, cloning it wouldn't serve a purpose. I thought differently before but I wasn't aware that Android IDs could be shared.

The blocked port idea is interesting, moreso because there will most likely be a log file somewhere.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SystemIdleProcess:
Using Net States in Quick System Info I don't see any communication going on after entering username\password and tapping next. It's like it's not even trying.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
Does it complain if you turn off WiFi?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SystemIdleProcess:
Nope, it does give me the Connect to WiFi button after it fails but that doesn't work. If I tap that button it just takes me back to the Sign in page.

EDIT: I just bought my nook today. Doing the initial charge then going to be playing around with the default system. After that I will attempt rooting and all this good stuff.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
This requires an Android phone. Not exactly a solution, more like a patch. Not all of us have Android phones, I for one have a WM6 phone. I have a chinese knockoff Android pad but I broke the touchscreen while taking it apart to see if it could take a bigger battery. Waiting for the replacement to arrive.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SystemIdleProcess:
You need an android phone for that post. We are trying to get Market to work native in the NOOKcolor.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SystemIdleProcess:
So I messed around a little with account.db in /data/system and copied the settings from my phone and I can get past the setup wizard but now I get a "Server unavailable. Please try again later." message.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Alikama:
Sure! If you always want to have your phone nearby. Wouldn't it be cool to have real access to the market directly from the nook?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rad131304:
That's not a vending.apk port - just a way to get apps in the market to your NC using an android phone. It doesn't help if you don't have one of those phones.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
No, that's something different. Still useful though.

Switching gears, I think the issue may be with apk signing. There's tons of messages about ignoring the google apk's, which is why they're not loading when they need to:

E/PackageManager( 832): Package com.google.android.googleapps has no signatures that match those in shared user com.google.uid.shared; ignoring!

If you tried using a different package of google apps, I imagine you'll probably have a similar issue as well.

Unfortunately, I know nothing at all about app signing, so I'm not sure how to get around this.

EDIT: Well, this looks helpful!

Snooped around the web a little and saw a bunch of people with the same issue. Something to do with google talk and apk signing was also mentioned.

Didn't look hard enough to see if anyone found a definite solution to this one.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
I tweaked the packages.xml, and that fixed my error messages, now I'm just getting server timeouts. Not sure if that is a "real" message that there are google server errors or if it is just a red herring.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
Ugh, I give up for tonight. I've tried the gApps for Archos, the Cyanogen pack, and the Google Experience pack I used for the WPDN. All have the same issue.

I'm guessing it is that missing content provider, but googling doesn't turn up the value, just a bunch of other people having the same issue. It seems to work on most "default" android installs, so I guess it is either:

a) a value in the stock install that BN ripped out

b) BN modified one of the settings apk's in a way that happened to break how that setting functions.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thetoady:
I'd highly reccomend someone who can run wireshark try to connect a regular android device to the google account and compare what's going on to when we try to connect the nook. might help.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
here are the package installer and download provider and media provider maybe one of these has the missing link
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockworx:
The fix might end up being something simple, but given how BN customized a bunch of the "standard" apps it is kind of hard to troubleshoot. I might look into getting a AOSP ROM going first, and then attack the Market issue that way instead.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thetoady:
Also, google does everything over XMPP (Jabber). I'd look to see if the XMPP infrastructure is not included. (i.e. it be more than just including the application apks, you'd have to integrate the whole infrastructure, which might not be possible outside of a whole system replacement?)
