[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salonluden:
Hi Emilio,

Let me try to answer your questions - someone correct me if I'm wrong... this is what I've understood from browsing the forums for a half a year now...

The radio in your phone is what controls all wireless access, such as wifi and cell reception. Different radios have different battery life/better reception depending on the cellphone - I haven't seen anyone come out and say one is the best although I have been using 2.15 for quite some time now and it's pretty good. Just remember your radio has to be 2.xx.50 because of your type of phone (T-Mobile/TMOUS) or else you will brick your phone (it wont work).

Some ROMs change your radio when you flash - although I haven't come across any custom ROMs that do. In any case, any time you flash make sure the ROM says TMOUS or T-mobile supported! Also, before you flash you need HSPL (search the forums to find out what it is and how to use it).

The ROMs the the awesome chefs here make are usually based on WM 6.5 or 6.5.x - but you dont have to worry about it. For all purposes its Windows Mobile 6.5.x or 6.5 and all windows programs work, etc.

Which ROM is best? That's a long argument. I've been using Energy Roms for quite some time now - every time I flash I always make my way back to Energy in the end. Just go through the ROM section - most ROMs are good (actually so far I haven't come across a bad one) and they are almost all much more stable and smoother. Just remember to make sure it's TMOUS compatible.

Flashing HSPL, Radios, and ROMs are in the forum and perfectly well explained... just search and you'll see.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emilio Nataren:
thank you man! :D

thnx! a lot!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
one thing missed in the otherwise comprehensive answer above...

you have 3.14 rom, so as it stands hspl cannot be installed so cooked roms and radios cannot be installed.

should you want to try the cooked roms you would first flash the stock tmous 2.10 rom, which willdowngrade your spl and hspl3 will work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emilio Nataren:
oh! so I have to get to my old rom first after changing to the Energy ROMS?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
yep. there are 3.14 based cooked roms coming out but not many, most are 2.x based so require the downgrade.

you don't have to wait for the flash to completely set up and running before you flash the cooked rom, as soon as the flash finishes, and windows begins to set up, pop the battery and enter bootloader, apply hspl, enter bootloader again and flash the rom.

It wont let meedit the MMS settings. Does anyone know where I can change the settings and remove SprintMMSC? or a stripped down programmable version of arcsoft? I assume thats what our touch pro 2's use for mms. I have all the settings I need. I just cant how to enter them

Nevermind, i just re-installed ADW. I'm still an idiot.

****************************

I now have CM 6.1 RC 4 installed and love it so far. Being the idiot and noob that I am, in thinking I was dragging a shortcut to the trash, I really wrote-over the shortcut to the launcher in the dockbar. I thought of creating a shortcut to the Launcher and replacing what's there now with it, but I can't seem to create a shortcut to Launcher. Is there anyway to restore what was initially in the dockbar?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carloswithac:
I just cleared data under ADW Launcher, but I'd be cool if there was another way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I just read an article that said Eric Schmidt (google's ceo for those that didnt know) said Gingerbread would be out soon within a few weeks. I was thinking we should start prepping for the new release of android. Not sure if there are any that we even need to do but thought it would help with the transition.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
Gingerbread need 1 GHz and 512 mb of ram at least for working flawlessly...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] object3d:
I think we should settle with stable Froyo at best instead of working on new and as L1qu1d said more resource usage build.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
that was all rumored from what i heard, i think its really unlikely that google would intentionally fragment like that, also its not a full release its going to be a 2.3 so i doubt it will be too much more drastic, i agree though i would much rather get the kernel stable on froyo and fix its bugs before we get too heavily into anything else.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
I'm pretty sure that it was a rumour. Android 3.0 which was supposed to be called gingerbread was rumoured to need 1Ghz and 512 ram and since gingerbread now is android 2.3 it should run fine on our devices.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Yeah from what I read on the wiki it only looks like a few additonal features and that is it. None of which would need that much power. I think the only requirement we need is the .35 kernel finished. I might be wrong though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mizad09:
Well since i'm not a dev or cook, i have no rights or opinions but kyles is right i just prefer and stable froyo with no errors at all, with a least pic camera fully functioning. :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
well gingerbread is out perhaps we should try compiling it for our phone, it's supposedly snappier but who knows, would it be able to run on an old kernel?

i mean when we moved from eclair to froyo it did fix somethings (while creating new problems) like video playback, i dont know anything about compiling our libs but this doesn't seem to be a huge jump, more of just refinements
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I would imagine Cyanogen is going to finish 6.1 here shortly and start on 7 which should be gingerbread. As far as Hot Gingerbread (yeah my own title for it lol since we had fresh froyo) we should be able to compile it. Oh and I was able to run froyo on the .25 kernel until we had the .32 kernel. I think we should be able to run it on .32 as the changes arent that drastic.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] damaph:
Sounds great. Looks like us kaiser/vogue/polaris users have something to look forward to besides getting a new phone. :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] gazzacbr:
haha, i certainly hope so. i've just ordered a new housing for my poor scratched kaiser (for 2nd time now), 3 years old and still going strong :) :) :)

Gingerbread Released!!

Gingerbread SDK released!! I cant wait for the ports to start flowing in!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
Nice, welcome in the club I bought mine in October '07, except for a crack to the side of the casing it's as good as new:) How much did you pay for the replacement casing? Link please.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] brym:
Got mine in March '08, and even after plenty of drops, there's only a slight casing break around the power button on the side, and the USB port isn't as reliable as it once was. Otherwise, a solid handset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i will be trying out gingerbread on my hero in a few short moments
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I got my kaiser in 2010 lol. Got it from my father 2nd hand after I had my ppc 6700 running WM 6.5 get bricked due to a bug. Basically the bug was that if it was sync'd on a exchange network that locked the device with a pin. Eventually that pin would stop working and wipe the device. Normally thats not bad but somehow when it wiped itself it killed the phones radio. So it was essentially just a big ugly PDA after that lol. My father bought an Iphone about a year ago and retired his tilt so I asked for it and he gave me it. After I got it I quickly hard spl'd it and unlocked it. Afterwards I found out it could run android and so I put it on there and that started my work with android developemet. My father said he would have not given me the tilt and given me his iphone if he knew it could run android lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i got my vogue in 2008 (right around the time is was discontinued) my manager at sprint had gotten one after he had too many problems with his Razr2 (he complained to sprint almost daily about it) he got the phone and hated it, when i found out about skyfire (Flash videos on a phone!) i knew it was time to retire my centro and get some WinMo, so i bought it off him really cheap (like $75 bucks at the time was really low) and the screen blanked out so i had to get a reconditioned one before i could use it and that thing was a champ i used it constantly (even running android 1.0 and 1.1) till i got a treo pro then i used that till warm donut came out then i was back with my vogue till this summer when i got my hero
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Speaking of your hero, hows Gingerbread going?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
its ok its really limited right now, but it boots i can make calls (audio doesnt work) and text and that stuff data works but the browser FC's the market has like no apps in it because nothing has a gingerbread ID yet and stability is crap at best. i switched back to froyo just for the usability but it does mean that once the source code gets dropped it will be decently easy to get up and running.

looks like it can run on a .29 kernel this could be good news
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] gazzacbr:
only $20 off ebay search ''Housing Cover (Front+Back)'' as i dont need the keyboard, unlike last time when i fell of my mountain bike while checking the gps......

ramble alert: bought mine off internet early October also, i remember getting it and rushing out to the shops to buy a "massive" 4 gb card. now looking at getting a 32GB (kingston class 10) and its xmas soon :-D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I don't think you'll benefit from class 10, thats even if the kaiser detects it. I think the max our kaisers support is either 8 or 16 gb. As for the class, I just don't think the kaiser has a good enough bus for the SD reader to be able to take advantage of class 10. It seems like the kaiser has really slow bus speeds. In the phone writes to my class 6 card take forever but on the computer they're a lot faster.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
I'm pretty sure that 32gb card should work fine but as aceoyame stated you won't benefit from higher writing speeds(at least not on the phone). I have a 16 gb sandisk card and it works fine with kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
I have heard that Gingerbread is very GPU dependent. If it is then I would think our Kaiser would have a difficult time with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
from what i have played with on my hero i would say thats not true there aren't any majors animation changes from froyo
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
Great! I'll wait for a Dream version and try to porting it from there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
Great, Dzo had been looking at the sdk and stated in fresh froyo thread that there aren't many differences to Froyo and apparently it should be fairly easy to port it to our devices when the source is out.

Kyle what are the changes to copy/paste function is it more user friendly now?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] yelybely:
i have a 32gb card working in my kaiser.. no idea what class, got it dirt cheap off ebay

Well they don't have the source though. Working with just the SDK is a wee bit difficult.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Does it matter ?

I remember someone saying that Android would neve run on Kaiser... then we found dzo IIRC... and well, here we are.

They even can say "It will toast your brains if you install ginger on Kaiser/Vogue/Polaris." We will attempt anyway :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vellowax:
+1

I believe, our android build is the fastest one even in a real native android device.

imagine if someone port our Froyo build to their...ie wildfire, they will have the fastest Froyo build for their own device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
We are still lacking in speed, at least in FPU operations. For some reason the dream at 528 mhz is still faster than the kaiser at 575 by a decent amount. Either we have thd dalvik vm enabled incorrectly or there is something deeper. Maybe there are more hardware differences than we know of?

Edit: Anyone have a good wm build that is faster or as fast as my barebones? I need stability for my job so I was gonna put WM back on and run haret only its laggy as hell in the 2d. I mean my old ppc6700 ran circles around this thing, even with the drivers enabled.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
I don't think there is a WM build that is as fast or faster than your barebones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
lol felt good to hear that. Kinda sucks though lol guess ill have to deal with the sluggish WM for work and then play with android when I get home with haret. Although with the way things are going I may be able to use android here alone within a month at this rate.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
I tried your build and there is no way Windows will even come close to that speed. BTW, I suggest you try my newest kernel that I released. I added more features to improve stability, It's on page 12 of kernel thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] vellowax:
Hardware difference. of course.

but still they have lack too at 528, they need to oc 600-614 to run smooth.;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Lets pick this issue 'linuxwise'. Can't we port SuperPI ?? Or other softs that test other issues ? perhaps ramspeed, float, int, you know what i mean :)

Other thing, i would very much love to have hdparm :) (i know we don't have _hd's_, but its worth a try...)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Ok after reading up on ARM architecture I found out there is no real bus, all devices are connected to io pins on the cpu from what I gathered. Now that would be an old school design lol. Maybe the cpu is just getting bogged down from the i/o requests. I bet the version of our msm7200 in the dream has more i/o pins available for it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
IO has always been a problem in linux, world wide.

Ence the schedulers like Con Koliva's and others.

Yet probably we're using a scheduler made for systems with a BUS, and we do not have one...

BAck to Froyo from Gingerbread problem

Hi,

I am new in this forum. Sorry for my lack of english. I have HTC Tytn II and I installed gingerbread on it from sd/card. But I have some freezing problem when I get phone calls. I want to back to froyo. What should I do ? Could anyone help me step by step pls.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
It's the same as installing Froyo for first-time use...

Get ATools and set kernel up for phone, download your favorite Froyo build, install Kernel and install Froyo from SD card.

There are literally hundreds of people asking how to do this in numerous threads. All of those threads have a redirect in them to the first sticky in the forum.
[Focus General] Kherani:
I tried two different wall chargers and the phone won't charge. It says it's charging but it doesn't do anything. Charging via USB is far too slow. I remember seeing another thread and a member recommended going into the battery diagnostics and exiting. I tried that and it worked for a day, but now it's doing the same thing. I tried calling Samsung, but they're giving me a run-around and I'd like to avoid them if necessary. Anyone have any tips?
[Focus General] markgamber:
Take it back where you got it, explain the problem and ask for an exchange. If it won't charge off the wall adapter there's obviously a problem somewhere that's beyond user control.
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
Just to be clear, you're having issues charging it off of the included wall adapter with the included USB cable attached to both the phone and the wall? I've had issues charging it off of non-official power sources.
[Focus General] Kherani:
Yes, I got it semi-working today. It will charge, but extremely slowly. I've left it the since last night and it's only charged 49%. I've called Samsung and they told me that I can't get a warranty replacement (I got it on Kijiji, it was working fine for a while).
[Focus General] siralex241:
Well trouble shooting 101...hard reset the device

leave it on the charger till it is 100%. The battery might need to cablibrate itself once from the intial charge.

But really you should bring it back to the place and receive a replacement...it sounds like a likely to be software defect but could just as well be a hardware defect. Or you might have a faulty wall adapter.

I figure it be a good place to try and list all the regressions in behavior we see in DK28.

can be used to list them / point out what changed and why its not really a regression, just have to change what we do.

I've noticed two things so far

1) Can't dial by last name in on screen keypad dialer, just first name. This is somewhat annoying (especially as my friends last names are more distinct than first names)

2) missing all my "other" calendars in calendar app. (i.e. I have facebook exported that way, along with holidays and some other stuff). Also doesn't let me select individual calendars that I want to list. I believe this might have a backup/restore issue. Just reset my phone and haven't restored anything from backup and have all my calendars.

This also seems to impact agenda widget. For some reason calltrack does work Part of me assumes I'm doing something wrong here.

Update:

Other regressions: (reported and verified by independent source)

3) Mediahub no longer works (requires you to update it from Market, but can't be found): noted: 12/5/2010 by jwhisl (Orbiting234: probably related to Market not recognizing DK28)

4) No way to prevent GPS data from being included in EXIF of Pictures if GPS is on: noted 12/5/2010 by styckx
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
One odd thing I noticed was with Dolphin browser. When holding the back button to bring up the exit menu it used to vibrate when it popped up. Now it does not. It still vibrated before I upgraded to froyo.

I know it is a little thing any meaningles but it threw my whole operating habits out of wack.
[Epic 4G General] jwhisl:
I've noticed that the Mediahub application no longer works. When I launch the app it tells me to install an update then sends me to the market. Unfortunately the market cant find the download I need so I cant watch any of my purchased media. The phone is also telling me that the media type is not supported.

Installed dk28 via zip and hard reset device to fix audio, camera, and memory card issues

might anybody have the update in apk or zip format?
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Ok, this one is pissing me off. It seems you can no longer disable gps data getting lumped into you camera pictures.

Becareful! Turn off gps entirely unless you want you photos exif data containing your location.

Anybody try turning 4g on? I don't have 4g where I live but my son got my phone today and turned it on... my phone was going crazy, it was freezing & screen kept goin black, couldn't figure out why then I saw 4g was on.. (we'll it may have been bluetooth or gps also) because he had everything on.. anyways turned it all off other then wifi and phone went back to normal. Using VIPERrom dk28

It failed my test. Just like the previous leaks, last.fm skips and jitters when browsing the web and playing music at the same time. As a matter of fact, music skips any time I do anything thqat even moderately taxes the cpu. My Evo does fine under the same conitions. Why, Samsung, why?
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
I'm kind of hoping that this is still a beta version and not final cause it still has some flaws compared to ecclair. I made a thread in the Developement forum about the problems I am having with dk28.

Slow rotation

Slower frame rate on notification drop down

Browser choppiness and checker boarding

etc.

I downloaded the zip file last night when it was first posted on here. I had stock rom, changed the file name on my phone to update.zip, moved it to root folder, did the recovery and update. Everything is fine and I'm on froyo 2.2.1 now. I'm try to replicate the problems you guys are having, but I can't. The only problem I can replicate is the checkered box when zooming in and out. My hardware is .5 and I just bought the phone last month. I got my wifes at the same time and hers is doing just fine as well. Do you guys think that even though my hardware is .5 that there could be some differences in the phone since everything is still working better then 2.1 for me and my wife?
