Ok I found it. An HTC Bookmarks group is created in IE favorites and that will be synced with DHD. It works fine. I wonder why people want to download alternative tool to sync.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nooky:
Mine does not create a HTC Bookmarks folder in IE... :-(

How do I get it to work?

Can it be Synced with Firefox as well? It does have an option in HTC Sync to switch it, but I cannot seem to get it to work... :-(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITEX:
Sync setup

You need to create the "HTC Bookmarks" folder on the PC first, (in Chrome this needs to be in the "Bookmarks Bar" for some reason)... any shortcuts created in that location will then sync to the phone. In chrome, subfolders are ignored - so all the bookmarks need to be in the root of HTC Bookmarks.

Firefox/IE work in similar ways, create the folder first on the PC and it works

Note in firefox - it seems to require the folder name to be "HTC bookmarks" go figure!

EDIT: Do you have the Android SDK installed on your computer??? If not do this first:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I am guessing that you are using this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801537

You cannot pull the file using TE.

Have you already modified your keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml file?

If so, then you need to use ADB to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ on your evo, and open with whatever zip prog you like

and replaced the one in /res/layout/ folder of the framework-res.apk.

When done, close up the apk, and use adb to push back to the /system/framework/ on your evo.

BOOM! DONE!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
NP.

Just an FYI - With the new SDK for Android 2.3, ADB is now located in the /platform-tools folder.

It used to be in the /tools folder so whenever you see code that has you navigate to your tools folder to utilize ADB, use /platform-tools instead

Have fun!

Couple questions

1. is there a walk though on how to install ADK for windows 7 64 bit home? The only reason why I ask is in doing some searching I have found that alot of people are having trouble with it.

2. If Im only using android 2.2 then I still use tools/ right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
You will still use the platform-tools location even for 2.2 from now on with the latest sdk. I think just google set up adb win7 and you should be able to find it. Im just on my phone here.

I´m confused about amazon wireless and his Htc HD7 for 193.99 dollars.

http://wireless.amazon.com/HTC-HD7-Windows-Phone-T-Mobile/dp/B0046RERVQ/ref=sh_br_ph_2

I dont understand, because its so cheap.

Can someone explain me the Reason for this cheap price?

I´m german and if i can buy this phone for 139 dollars, i will do it or is there a problem?

Do I have to make a contract with t-mobile(its on the site) to get the phone so cheap? The site says me that they selled the phone for 549 dollar and it costs only 139 dollar. Because of that I think the phone is unlocked and I can use the phone with any sim card.

Pls help!
[HD7 General] lqaddict:
If you are an existing TMO USA customer they will sell it to you for $149, new TMO US customers will pay 139, if you click just phone only (no service) you are given the full price.
[HD7 General] Jonno2343:
Yeah, I also found this pretty confusing as a non-American.

This is just a price for the phone if you renew / add a new contract to your T-Mobile account.

In the States the phone prices are independent to the contract you have whereas in South Africa (my country) the amount you pay (if any) for a phone depends on the amount you spend per month fon your contract (from $8 - $150 p/m).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpuffin:
So my question is when the 2.3 source code is released will we as evo users be able to compile it using current drivers that we have from 2.2 or is it going to be like 2.2 where it took a month or 2 to get the camera and other stuff working

Simplified do the drivers have to be re-written or will current ones work on 2.3

Mainly wondering as would be nice to have working gingerbread a few days after source released vs weeks/months
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strung:
Android uses the Linux kernel. Drivers for the Linux kernel are called "kernel modules" and their files end in .ko (kernel object). Usually they have to be updated for every kernel release e.g. for 2.6.28, 2.6.35, etc to keep up with the kernel APIs.

In some ways Android is just "user space" meaning that it could run theoretically on any kernel. However there are some specific Android kernel requirements that the details are unclear on to me.

Cyanogen has a 2.6.35 and 2.6.36 kernel running, and Gingerbread will use 2.6.35. So things "should" work already. However there's no way to be sure until the actual source code is available.

What would be the benefits? will themers and Rommers only develop for .340 vs .320 (The leak)? will i be fine if i stuck with the leak?
[Droid X General] milan616:
Why would you stick with the leak? The keys, bootloader, kernel and baseband are all the same between the two. It's only system files and apps (Madden!) that have any differences. I'm pretty certain all the modders and themers are going to target .340 going forward.

Edit: that's not to say you shouldn't stick with the leak, I just can't think of any good reason to.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
So apparently the official 2.2 Froyo is rolling out. I haven't checked yet but I will when I get home. I have some newb questions.

I got my phone and haven't touched a thing to it. Just added lots of apps. No root. No lag fix. Nothing.

My question is, if I upgrade this officially via Kies:

1) Do I lose my contacts / stuff ?

2) Do I lose my apps ?

I heard people saying that once you upgrade to do a hard reset of the phone -- why ? What happens if you don't ?

With this in mind, how and what is the best way to back up all my apps ? I haven't rooted but i DO have Titanium Back up. Would Z4root work for i9000m ? can anyone confirm ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackDino:
1) no

2) no

3) hard resets are only if you experience a ton of lag while operating the phone

I should have gotten a different phone to begin with, but too bad Canada doesn't have all the good phones US has like D2 DX HTC Evo etc. Going up to Bell tomorrow for an exchange.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
A lot of people have been complaining that their SD cards have been screwed. Luckily mine went through without any problems and hasn't given me any trouble so far.

Froyo is insane tho, before the phone used to lag a bit, now the moment i touch it it opens. No need for lag fix in my opinion, everything works blazing fast as is.

One thing to watch out for is the WIFI. It was working normally at the beginning but after 3 hours it just disconnected for no apparent reason and has trouble connecting back.

Good luck

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdrom:
I updated mine last night. However I've had major problems since. Initially it would just freeze up randomly and require removing the battery to get it back up and running.

Today I decide to reset it to defaults which seemed to go fine, although shortly after getting it all setup again, some Samsung app of sorts came up with an error and had to be forcefully closed. Then I was left with a black screen and only the notification bar.

Powered off the phone and went to turn it back on, and now it just loops through the Samsung GT i9000 screen (white writing). Not even the colourful S logo comes up.

I'm able to get it into Download Mode but not Recovery Mode. I'll have to do some reading about this Odin stuff tonight. Hopefully I can revive it, otherwise I guess I'll had to send it in for repairs. No idea if Virgin Mobile repairs will go through Bell or if I take it to them directly.

This is my first Android phone and I've only had it for just over a week. I thought I was making a good decision, but now I see it has quite a defect with the internal SD card failing.

My wife's phone started to crap out before I tried JK4 (2.2). Same symptoms everyone here is describing. Boots to the "S" screen, then goes blank with the menu/back buttons lighting up if touched.

This is what I did with success (so far so good):

IMPORTANT: remove your external SDCARD BEFORE starting this process. My internal SDcard truly failed on another phone and while trying to recover by flashing an older firmware, I lost everything on the external card. I don't understand the process but someone explained that although the firmware cannot run from the external card, it'll try flashing it to the external card if the internal card fails.

1. Install Odin

- Go to the general HowTo thread for instructions on using Odin

2. Download JH2 from samfirmware.com

- JH2 is the last Canadian official 2.1 firmware

- You need to register to this site although I think you can simply download it via this link (let me know if not)

3. Start Odin

- Make sure re-partition is NOT checked

- Load downloaded JH2 file from #3 into PDA (If I recall correctly, you need to un-rar the downloaded file - you want a .tar file)

- Use "samsung-firmwares.com" if asked for a password to un-rar

- Do not load a PIT file

4. Start up your phone into download mode (vol-down, select button & power)

- Before updating, I reset to factory and cleared cache. Yes this means you'll loose anything on internal memory. It sucks but it's nice to have a working phone again.

- make sure USB debugging is turned on (settings, applications, development, USB debugging)

5. Connect the phone to PC via USB

- If done correctly, Odin will show a connected device

- If your phone isn't connected, you'll have to search around xda for how to get drivers installed

6. Cross your fingers and click start :)

Good luck.

I'm running Doc's JK3 v1.0 rom right now, along with Hardcore's speedmod 256Hz kernel. Would flashing it via Odin this way bring me back to stock, or do I need to try and find a stock kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
So long as you keep in mind that I'm still learning here... :)

Yeah, that should bring you right back to stock. JH2 (Eclair 2.1) is an official Bell release. JK3 is Froyo 2.2 so I'm assuming that someone more knowledgeable than I am would say you need to clear all data & cache so backup what you want to keep.

From JH2, you can then use Kies to upgrade to JK4 (Froyo 2.2), another official stock release if that's what you want. I don't believe samfirmware.com has JK4 avail for flashing via Odin.

Well. Hello guys.

Main question:

I have a rooted Desire atm.

After reading a big part of the forum I know I can't do the OTA update, because of root. Now I have the original rom (2.10.405.2).

Is it possible to update to version 2.29.405.2 with rooted (older) rom, without losing data? Or have I to back up all apps with Titanium Backup?

---

Next extra question:

If I made a backup of everything with Titanium Backup and I put a custom ROM at my Desire (all data will lose right?), and I install Titanium Backup to new custom rom, can I after custom rom patch.. easily restore all apps with Titanium?

---

Before people says "why do you root your phone without thinking about the consequences?".

My question is: I had to backup my Angry Birds scores before hard reset my phone. LOL.

I know, i'm not the smart one at this, but you have to start somewhere and i'm not making big steps. Thats why im asking these noob questions.

Thank you in advance guys! :rolleyes:

I just installed custom rom. Titanium Backup works well, so question 2 is answered by myself.
