[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech338:
I've made a similar flashable zip.

Here is what I did. Took a ROM zip file. Made a copy. Opened the *copy* up. Navigate to System. Delete all files/folders except for media.

Open up media folder. Delete all files/folders except for audio.

Open up audio folder. Delete all files/ folders except for ringtones and notifications.

Open up ringtones folder. Delete all files and add the ringtones you want.

Open up notifications folder. Delete all files and add the notifications you want.

Save the new zip file to the SD card and flash it.

And most importantly, NANDROID before you flash it.

BTW, you can also make a media/audio/notifications folder (and/or media/audio/ringtones) on the SD card. Then you can run then right from the card instead of loading them each time. Takes a little time for the new ringtones to show up in settings.

Hi,

How to install apk when:

- data connexion doesn't work

- there is no file browser installed by default by the build

- adding apk into Android/SystemApps or into Android/AndroidApps doesn't work befroe installing the build

I tried to use also I2APK but my HD2 is not recognized in windows XP: on the HD2 which usb mode i have to use in this case: charge only? Disk drive? ...

I havae already check the USB debugging mode.

Please help me

Regards

Two options you got:

1. Wi-Fi which I assume u dont have ;-);

2. Download Droid Explorer on your computer (http://de.codeplex.com/) and install it. It detects your Android phone. You can install applications to your phone from there.

Hope it helps.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mstrk242:
This is assuming you're running with the folder name Android:

If it doesn't exist already, create a folder called AndroidApps under your Android folder. Copy the apk that you want to install into that folder. Reboot. (I'd suggest putting a file browser in there like astro or es file explorer). Most builds I've used will install whatever is in that folder on bootup. (When I do a new build, I usually put mybackuppro apk in there, so I can boot up and restore all my data and apps.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fana75:
already done

I already try to use droid explorer but my HD2 is not recognized...

Which usb mode i have to choose on my hd2 screen when i plugg the usb cable

Already done (see my post1) but with this ROM MCCM_HD_V1.2_Beta_3 it has no effect....

I used to do the same as you: all my favorite apk inside this rep.

Regards
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jigners:
- all builds will have android market in it, so download "Linda file manager"

- boot back to winmo

- connect device to pc (usb)

- transfer all your .apk files (assuming you got it in your pc) to a folder (its up to you to name this) in the sd card.

- boot back to android, open up Linda file manager and search for that folder

- there you can install the .apk files you got:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Or use adb. Just get your right drivers installed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaiq123:
You just have to make sure the HD2 is booted into Android. Second thing is to make sure you exit out of HTC Sync program. Check in your system tray and right click and exit from it before launching Droid Explorer.

It works for me always.

Edit: n I dont have to choose any option on the HD2 screen, or you can choose 'Charge Only'. That works fine.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fana75:
Thanksss

Done....

After a few hours on the net and with your advises i succeeded in installing ES File browser and every thing is OK now.

Just for my own information i tried to find a clear tuto of how to use adb and i couldn't find one: have you got one?

I need absolutly to install Android SDK?

What is the Good driver?

If i install this new driver it is not a risk of bad recognition if i connect my HD2 in WinMo mode?

For Droid explorer and I2apk it is this driver which is missign too?

Which USB mode on my HD2 device i have to choose to connect to adb? to droid or I2apk soft?

Regards and thanks again to everybody.:p

PS: @jigners: As i said i my first post Market Place didn't work because of non data connexion.
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
I'm getting strange messages on my HD that contain the 'delta' and 'at' symbols with no content and Orange cant tell me what it is?!

I'm now concerned for the security of my terminal, has anyone heard of this?

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] Fred23:
Me too. Also on Orange. They *seem* to arrive at the same time as a message from Orange but have a different time so appear earlier on the list. There's also an icon with it (stored on SIM maybe). My guess - strange but harmless. I'm just deleting them. I'd be interested to know what they are though.
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Not sure if its related, but I have had people say that they are receiving up to 5 copies of text messages i am sending...

Orange think its a text/email that the phone cant interpret...:confused:
[Desire HD General] LouCB:
received one last week, opened it, blank message so went to delete it and phone froze then reset....

received 2 today, first one dated 4th Dec and second one the time said it was a few hours earlier... didnt open either just deleted them.

hmmmm
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Lou, are you on Orange too?

I am wondering if this issue is limited to Orange?
[Desire HD General] LouCB:
tried to upload a pic i took of it earlier but cant as not enough posts :(
[Desire HD General] LouCB:
yes i am, will upload pic when i can
[Desire HD General] Mojo Fones:
Me and the wife are both getting these now and again, both on Orange too. I don't look at them, just delete. I'm curious so if anyone figures out what they are I'd love to know.
[Desire HD General] LouCB:
the first one worried me as froxe my phone after i deleted it!

dont know if it is connected but when i registered new sim card, i never got texts through to phone saying update, lease delete and turn off hone or what ever they say?
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Hi Lou,

Yeah, exactly the same as mine, I have higlighted it with Orange and they claim to be looking into it for me, but do not yet know what is causing it.

It would be interesting to see if people on other networks than Orange are having this issue to know whether it is related to Orange or the terminal.
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
Yeah I've got the same its only Orange from what I've heard!
[Desire HD General] freecom2:
Received the same (although not for a while now), no prizes for guessing network...
[Desire HD General] LouCB:
Received another one a moment ago! You think it is best to just ignore and delete or open them and delete?
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Im still getting them too, just on the phone to Orange, unfortunately they have no idea...

There doesn't appear to be any issue with opening them and deleting them, but please dont take my word for that (terms and conditions apply, etc...)
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Are you guys using an Orange-supplied phone, or SIM-free? I'm getting this on a SIM-free phone on Orange network. Just wondering if this makes a difference...?
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Mine is a bit strange!

It is supplied by Orange, but is unbranded, yet is locked to Orange.
[Desire HD General] NickOak3s:
Hi I've noticed I get this if I accidents remove the sim/sd card cover not sure what it means though lol.
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Nice to see that Orange read this...

Still no closer to finding out what the issue is though :-(
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Just had an update from Orange, they are now speaking to HTC about this issue.

If anyone else has a similar issue, please use this thread as this (beleive it or not!) is what they are monitoring!

Ta!
[Desire HD General] kingpippin:
Got it, crashed it, googled the thread, keep us posted chaps & chapesses.
[Desire HD General] bginders:
I have had this a few times also it normally comes up when i do a restart or update like it is saved to the sim card. I am also on orange unbranded.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I get this too - seems to happen after I restart the phone sometimes - and every time one of my old texts gets re-sent and my wife usually ends up getting very confused about an out-of-context message she receives.

Orange, Sim-free DHD.
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Yeah, im still getting them, Orange have finally said that it is something to do with SIM service updates that the phone does not know how to interpret and it will be fixed in a software update, however we have already had a recent update and it is still happening... It doesnt help when each time you call up to ask about an uodate on what is happeening about it, they tell you they are 'Googling' it to find a solution and end up on this thread!!

:rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] allenf:
Desire HD on Orange UK (branded), noticed this txt message yesterday and deleted it with no problem. Found this thread by accident :)
[Desire HD General] mjt:
I don't get them in Handcent though. If I open my HTC messaging app I see them there! Sounds like another HTC issue to me....
[Desire HD General] :
From what I've gathered from other sources, it's something to do with your voicemail. Check no voicemail are unread/saved!

I only ever have them when I have a saved voicemail.
[Desire HD General] Baggyb:
I too only seem to get these message when I have had a voicemail waiting. The funny thing is though is that the message only seems to appear after I have checked my voicemail and not before! So it never works as a notification.

I can confirm that this problem has plagued me before I got the desire HD. I had it on the original Desire. I may have even had it on the X10 but I can't be 100 % about that.

All my android handsets have been unbranded and I have been using my orange sim.
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Well, this is still happening to me, and have just asked Orange about it again. There seems to be no update about what they are doing about it!

The closest I can get to replicate it is when I have a message in voicemail, restart the phone, and it comes back after this... Seems to only come after restarting hte phone when there is one or more voicemail waiting to be listened to...

As I said, this is the closest I can get to replicating it.
[Desire HD General] DeathJester:
Just checked Messaging app; I have one too, from Wednesday. Just deleted it, no ill effects.

Important point: I tested a Desire with my SIM for work. I was getting the same messages on that, either (Delta)@ or the one pictured earlier in the thread. Desire ran Eclair.
[Desire HD General] allenf:
Yep, It's definitely voicemail related.

Just put my handset into Airplane mode, left a voicemail message, turned off airplane mode, waited for the voicemail alert symbol and checked text messaging, a fresh copy of the erroneous sms present. Curiously it has yesterdays date and timed 18:06; the previous message had an identical date/time iirc.

Deleted without any problem.
[Desire HD General] AudioFiend:
Add another orange user...
[Desire HD General] no1male:
and another......
[Desire HD General] lsainsbury:
Yep - another one here with the same issue!
[Desire HD General] springy:
Yup I have this too, however this only comes up after there is a restart to my phone when the OS crashes (on 1.72 software). On Orange as well but unlock, hense the 1.72 update.
[Desire HD General] Jason1978:
Although I dont get this as I am not on Orange, I have had the same issue with another phone when I was on Orange and it was to do with the Voicemail.

When you have a voicemail, Orange need to send details to the phone for it to nofity the user. It uses the SMS service to do this and the phone is meant to interpret a series of characters as something to do with voicemail, rather than a text messgae. If I remember rightly, the phone I had at the time was the HTC Touch HD, which would show an icon in the notification bar at the top. I think Orange would send one message to tell the phone to put the icon there, and a second message to tell the phone to remove the icon (when you delete your voicemail).

I could see you getting a different series of characters for say SIM updates etc.

At the time, it worked fine on the Stock ROM, but a custom ROM didn't work correctly.

[Desire HD General] lynxboy:
Had the message before and yes, I am on orange! I thought I was the only one lol.

[Desire HD General] jonny_boy27:
Holla

Another Desire HD user on Orange with same problems.

(this is in addition to the multitude of strange bugs in messaging app, not sure whether due to Android, HTC Sense, or the fact this is an Orange-cooked ROM :S )
[Desire HD General] targett:
SNAP!

Add another 2 Orange unbranded phones to your list...

As I can see, it does nothing to the phone and deleting is easy :)

I'll keep my eyes open for the Voicemail link.

Come on Orange/HTC - Sort it out :p
[Desire HD General] bobi1kenobi:
Hi ,

I receive that message every time I remove my SIM card..
[Desire HD General] Exorcist74:
Another Desire HD user on Orange with same problems.

no problem opening and deliting message.....
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
It would be nice to see Orange find a solution for this...
[Desire HD General] AWBob:
I just noticed this "delta at" text message in my inbox too. Last night I recieved a voicemail at around the time stamped on the message. It wasn't there this morning, however I restarted the phone tonight which seems to have made it appear. As far as I'm aware there was no notification of this unread message apart from its actual presence in my inbox.
[Desire HD General] Vernominon:
I've had the same thing. I didnt notice it until I received another text the next day so there was no notification noise I don't think.. but the message was at a time several hours after i'd listened to a voicemail. I'd noticed the voicemail icon was there (not sure if it ever dissapeared) a couple of hours after the timestamp of the text message i've now found... and i'd relistened and deleted to clear it.. so it certainly looks like its related to voicemail notifications.
[Desire HD General] Rakaan:
I used to receive it on my DHD and I am on orange too.

I flashed mine with stock rom and havent had one since then.
[Desire HD General] RobSimmo:
To be honest I doubt they'll ever do anything about these messages, it definitely won't be high up on their priority list. It's annoying but it doesn't do anything malicious.
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
Mine have stopped
[Desire HD General] iainism:
Mine haven't - so please add another UK Orange DHD user to the list!
[Desire HD General] arielc:
Same problem, havent had it for a while now. If it is connected to voicmail as you say then that is prob the reason why i havent had it for sometime.

Glad Orange are reading this thread, maybe they can give us something as a sort of compensation :)

I've been looking at that kickstand cast for the desire, but its a little bit pricy. Go on Orange speak to HTC to sort them out for us :P
[Desire HD General] grimbola:
Add another Orange customer to the list. I have an unbranded Desire HD (through Phones 4 U).

The last message I received was on 21st Feb. Not sure if it's stopped or if I've just not had any voicemail since.
[Desire HD General] AWBob:
It's definiely voicemail. Every time I get a voicemail I get this message soon after.
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
Well now it's stopped but still when I ever got that message no voicemail
[Desire HD General] Box287:
Keep getting this issue too. On OrangeUK, have not called them to complain as they don't know what a mobile phone is at the best of times, I think this issue would cause a major meltdown of their call centre....

Anyone fixed this problem? I read on another forum that it maybe linked to VVM?
[Desire HD General] Lockdown42:
Seriously?!

I'm on the old Desire and have had these messages for a while.

I've had the phone freeze a couple of times after deleting, but just assumed they were SIM updates that were forcing a restart. However my phone has started to go funny - recently my entire message history was mysteriously erased.

Then just yesterday, my phone locked up and completely died - it wouldn't start up, even after removing the battery & trying hard reset. Not until I took both SD card and SIM card out, did it start responding again.... all Contacts have been erased, some apps are corrupt, and guess what was sitting waiting for me in my Inbox? ... yep delta @!

I'm sending it in to HTC to see about repair. From reading this, it seems a shockingly poor response from Orange!
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
Im still getting this, given up asking Orange about it, just delete it now...

I like the way that Orange 'Google' peoples problems.

I called up once a while ago to moan about this again only to be told 'The only thing I can find about what you are talking about is a forum thread started by you'!! How I laughed!
[Desire HD General] jemma132:
Another one here. I've been getting them on both old hd2 and now dhd. I seem to get then more if I've recently missed a call, but I just delete them.
[Desire HD General] dao:
This is interesting...

Found this thread by accident actually looking if anyone else on Orange has got a problem receiving text messages in the past 24 hours as I don't seem to be receiving anything.

Anyway, to test last night I sent myself a text (I work nights so asking someone to text at 3am would have been a little annoying). Nothing received so I waited and asked someone this morning - nothing.

So before calling Orange I checked the web and found this. I have had the message several times and not necessarily with any answer-phone messages over the 3 months I've had the phone. Never thought anything of it - just deleted the text.

So, about to phone Orange I thought I'd just check the message list and low and behold the (delta at) message was there again - yesterdays date about 6pm. I have no answer-phone message saved or pending that I know of.

Deleting the message I then text myself again to check & everything working fine now. I don't know if I should phone Orange and report this or not (can I really be bothered spending 30 minutes on the phone trying to tell someone about a problem that they are probably not going to do anything about anyway?
[Desire HD General] raidenxl:
I get these all the time and I also get _@ occasionally does anyone know what they are?

I have read there something to do with missed calls and voicemails
[Desire HD General] gdot72:
delta at

my partner has also been getting these texts for a few weeks now, rung orange today and they said they have never heard of this problem before and told me to ring htc. i rang htc and they said they have never heard of this prob either but said it sounds like a virus or something that has been downloaded from a third party app off the market and the only way to stop getting them is to change the phone number and get a new sim.

after reading these posts it looks like its been going on for a while.

the biggest problem we seem to have had with these texts is that they seem to mess up the sd card, we have been through 2 sd cards now and i have tried to format the cards but it wont do it and i cant even read the contents of the sd cards through the phone or on the pc through a card reader. the other thing i have noticed is that when we open the message there seems to be a sim card symbol on the top right of the screen which to me indicates that it is saved on the sim card, my partner sems to be getting these texts every 2 to 3 days, we don think it is linked to the voicemail but are gonna keep tabs and see if we can find a patern. one other thing is that my partner has had a good few of these texts without doing anything to em so i thought that when i opened the text i would have a few texts in a thread and i could find times they were all sent but there was only the last one that was sent, dose this mean they are replacing the last text with a new one ???

bit strange !!!!!
[Desire HD General] Bravehelmet:
Sent Text Messages Being Deleted.

I'm getting similar problems to this :mad:

I'm on Orange with an old Desire, rooted but I was getting the messages before and I use Handcent but I got them before when I was using just the stock sms.

I never used to bother much about them but now when I get them my phone flashes the LED that I have a text but I don't get the actual notification until about 20-30 seconds later, by which time all my sent text messages have been deleted and I have the delta sigma text in my inbox!

It happens when I get up and turn off airplane mode in the morning.

This just started to happen about a week ago and it's really annoying me now. All I have in my inbox are inbound messages so the thread is still there but my sent messages are gone :confused:
[Desire HD General] Andr3wKay:
Me any my girlfriend are getting these messages - mine rooted DHD, hers stock Wildfire: both on Orange.

Phone has never crashed whilst deleting them though, they're just annoying
[Desire HD General] FuricTrax:
I've had this on a HTC Hero and currently my standard Desire and I've just found a solution. Mostly I deleted them from within the main messaging interface HTC Messages, Handcent SMS, GO SMS. However I found the solution here: (http://androidforums.com/desire-hd-...267796-strange-text-messages.html#post2205843)

Open up standard Messages application:

Press Menu > Settings > Text messages (SMS) > Manage SIM card messages

Delete the message from there. Job done.
[G Tablet General] ml_boston:
(Note I'm still into my second week of owning any Android device, so I'm a relative noob).

I've modded my G-tab with the TnT 2.2.0 from this thread.

It's my wife's device (she's not too technical) and she's not thrilled with the TnT vanilla-Android UI. I tend to agree with her, the vanilla 2.2 seems more usable for a smartphone. Viewsonic's stock UI seems better for a tablet. Even apps like Gallery crash a lot vs the stock Pictures app.

So in her use case, the only real value in the TnT mod is Market and ad hoc wifi (she uses Joikuspot as an ad hoc hotspot on her cellphone). We can live with performance lags for the minimal use she has.

Is it possible to mod the stock app with just Market and adhoc Wifi? Is a matter of taking the latest stock image from here, adding Market-specific apks from here (which ones are they?), and adding adhoc wifi from here? Or is there more to it?

Anyone know of roadblocks or tips before I attempt this? Ideally, I'd like to create a package of apks that I can run after each Viewsonic ota update.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
BTW, there is a better gallery app available that does not crash, but here is what you want.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861993
[G Tablet General] ml_boston:
Thanks - still evaluating my options here:

1) Where is the better gallery?

2) Are there any good training guides on assembling your own builds? The thread you linked is definitely closer to my goal, and I'll probably take that as a first step. But I'd like to eventually learn how to do a quick self-made Market and wifi mod only, so I can minimize the amount that I run the G-tab non-stock.

3) The link refers to the things that seem like admin-type capabilities. Any need in a self-made build to still keep this stuff running? The modded G-tab is my wife's, and it seems safer (eg: less virus prone) to disable admin capabilities that she won't use day-to-day. I don't yet know what each thing does (busybox, root access, adb mounting, xbin folder, etc).
