[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Monfro:
Hi all,

i have just bought on ebay an Opal as spare-spare device (and to play with...since i like cooking :))

I have cooked for Raphael, Rhodium and Kaiser...and all of them have a native 6.5 nk.exe.

I want to ask if someone wants to share the nk.exe they use with their wm6.5(.x) roms, since i never edited one.

My experiments will lead to a rom that i will publish here on Xda.

I want to hear also suggestions...since i am starting from 0 with this device (i had an Elf 3 years ago...but i remember few things about OMAP processors), i don't know if packages from latest Mega rom will be ok or slow down the device (on Kaiser they work very well...but processor has a double speed).

I want to say an anticipated "thank you" to who will help me :)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] pajerm:
Hi Monfro! it's nice to know that someone new is interested in this device. I too have tried many times to find the 6.5 kernel for opal, but unfortunately it seems that nobody has ever created. I still cook my rom with kernel 6.1 and with oskitchen, but I have many problems... I unfortunately do not have the skills to change the 6.1 kernel... I know that ervius kitchen has a way to modify the kernels, but I don't know how it works... :(
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Monfro:
Thank you for your quick reply.

I will try too to use nk.exe extracted from wm6.1 rom.

From what i can see your roms looks very good...and from what i read they are among the best for this device.

In a few days i will have the Opal in my hands and i will start to play :)

I myself find more funny to play with older devices like Kaiser and Opal than newer...because with new WM builds and new packages from other devices they get a 2nd new life.

I will try to look also in the Ervius kitchen the nk.exe patcher...but oskitchen is really more friendly :)

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Monfro:
Thank you.

I already found that thread...and tryed to download the package today...but 4shared was down and i didn't succeed.

I hoped to find a nk.exe modified for wm6.5 :)

I will try in the next days.

I already used Ervius Kitchen, but never tryed the hybrid option with nk.exe from 6.1 and the 6.5 sys.

Domani torno in Italia per 3 settimane...lavorerò da casa col mio pc...penso di riuscire a giocare un pò costruendo rom per l'Opal :)

Look in the CM thread, there is a file you can flash thru recovery, clear market cache before you flash it.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] NYC Coyote:
I love my current headphones... (not new... not the best... certainly not the worst... Shure E3C's)

What I am looking for is an adapter which provides the music controls (pause / next / previous track) and possibly a mic....

Shure does make an adapter for the iPhone... but I have read that Apple pretty much changed what each lead goes to... so it would most likely not work.

Anyone know of an adapter for the phone?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Berzerker7:
http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?x=0&y=0&q=50/50

I have a pair of these, in Shoe Red, they work phenomenally when tied with HTC Music + DroidShuffle, or another of music app that has headset controls built in.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] NYC Coyote:
Well I am really more interested in an adapter such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Shure-MPA-3C-Music-Adapter-iPhone/dp/B000UD205K

I have been told the iPhone adapters won't necessarily work on devices other than iPhones since Apple placed leads in different places than industry norm.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] smaragdhk:
Can anyone confirm if this MPA-3C or equivalent works on the Galaxy Tab?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] karrb:
I dont think there is an adapter like that, sorry
[Droid Incredible Accessories] smaragdhk:
Just tried my wife's HTC Wildfire handsfree with mic and I can confirm that it works!

This means any adapter designed for HTC Wildfire should work with Samsung GalaxyTab.

Edit: the model is HTC HS-U350
[Droid Incredible Accessories] NYC Coyote:
Been a while since I checked on this thread.

That last link was for the model with an answer end button.. The one I'm interested in has music controls.

Thanks though :)

I'm not sure if this is what your looking for or if it would even work with the phone but I think this is what your looking for

griffintechnology com/products/smarttalk

Hope this helped
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mtown_cyclone:
Are you sure that works with DIncs? Seems to be specifically for i-products.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jcoddinc83:
As I said, I am not sure if it would work with the DINC, but I would presume it would be workable if the player you use is headphone control friendly. I use PowerAmp paid version and it is listed as an option to enable. In my experience anything listed for the "iCan't" has worked for me other than the charger. I do not have a need for such a product but saw this and hoped it would help. I have seen other brands but none say that they will work for our phone or any other phone because "iCan't" is one standard phone and Android is run on numerous different platforms & devices.
[Continuum General] Tierneykev:
I have tried to remove some of the bloatware (blockbuster,trialware,vzw junk) with no luck .I have tried both deleting the apk or renaming to .old in root explorer and as soon as I reboot it comes back. I know I have root because I have ran setcpu and other apps requiring root. Is thete anything I need to do differently? I am coming from the original Droid.
[Continuum General] dfgged:
I would not recommend removing the bloatware entirely, but instead buy Titanium Backup pro. With that, you can freeze the apps so they can't be seen or used, but if and when we get an update, you won't have to worry about trying to find the right files.
[Continuum General] logan302:
Bloat

I have rooted using Z4 and removed bloatware using Titanium with no problems.
[Continuum General] y0himba:
My purpose in removing the bloatware would be to save battery, memory, space and not to have stuff running in the background I do not want or need. I don't really want to flash a ROM. Is there a way yet to remove the VZ stuff after rooting?
[Continuum General] Weudel:
I would use Titanium Backup and freeze those programs. If you remove them completely, you won't be able to install OTA updates, like the looming Froyo one.
[Continuum General] y0himba:
Thanked. Now freezing means they are still there and take up space but not memory or battery life? They are not running?
[Continuum General] imnuts:
Yes, that's what it is. Freezing them in Titanium backup essentially removes them, but leaves the files in place. You won't be able to access anything that is frozen outside of Titanium Backup until it is thawed. When you get a notification about an update, just thaw all the frozen apps, and update away.
[Continuum General] xmguy:
I do a similar thing. I change the file name to name.apk.bak so it doesn't appear. But leaves it if I want to restore.
[Continuum General] y0himba:
I read elsewhere that if you just rename the files to .apk.bak they reappear on a reboot.

Also, I am looking for a way to remove the Bing garbage, hopefully a batch process of some sort to replace it all with Google.

The D17 ROM looks nice but it also appears development was just stopped while it was still beta? I cannot find a good explanation of how to get the ROM on there. I keep seeing "Odin" but cannot find the latest version download link and there are no tutorials on how to use it.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
If you don't know how to use odin you shouldn't bother with flashing 0_o one mistake in there and you can easily be done.......

Also, if by DL17 CLEAN ROM, then you can rest assured it works fine.. There are no bugs..
[Continuum General] y0himba:
Aye, you are correct, I have no idea what to do with Odin. That's pretty much the reason I didn't want to flash a ROM. With a WinMo phone flashing a ROM is easy...I am completely n00b with Android.

The only reason I would flash it is the whole "CLEAN" thing. I would prefer to achieve that effect without the need to flash. Rooting my new phone was nerve wracking enough, but I got it done due to these forums. :thumbsup:
[Continuum General] Weudel:
You could always use Launcher Pro and just hide the apps.

[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Lol, I got your back man.... If you ever want to flash a rom or need help with odin, just pm or something... :)

When it comes to odin, as long as your connection is guaranteed, and you use **pda** instead of **phone** you should be golden... Even if something does go wrong, it is really hard to brick samsung phones xP
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
Thinking of picking up an evo as a gift for someone. I'd prefer the white one. Is there any significant difference between the black and white evo's other then the case color?

someone else mentioned 'light leakage'. What exactly is light leakage?

I'm also assuming if i do get a hardware defect since it's a new phone i can just return it for another one. So i'm not super concerned right now. Mainly just concerned that i can root the phone and put the same rom on it that i've got on my black one.

thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philux:
I know this has been addressed before about the home button going crazy. It acts like it is getting pushed multiple times over and over. It mainly does this at random times and mostly when the phone has come out of sleep mode. Being that this is my 4th Cappy that I might be returning due to hardware issues. I am hesitant on returning because I am worried about getting a refurb with more serious issues. Every Captivate I seem to get has hardware issues.

I am wanting to put together a thread to figure out if this issue is due to changes in Kernel or if it is a true hardware issue that can not be fixed but maybe we can find a workaround.

I want to start finding out if there is a thresh-hold that can be adjusted on the button. Make the button not so sensitive to see if this effect will help anything.

Can this button be disabled altogether? Disable the home button and use the search button instead.

I never had this issue till I flashed a Froyo kernel. That is why I am skeptical on the hardware failure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chirs:
I think it's hardware issue, my first one has this issue, unroot and runs stock 2.1, exchanged and never see it goes crazy again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradPitts137:
Same problem here trying to find a fix, driving me crazy!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
I just got my phone exchanged about 2 hrs ago. I've run TONS of tests on it, different ROM's, kernels, modems, bare ass stock.

Here's what I came up with. My phone was a 1007 series(2nd I believe)

The best, cleanest luck I had with it was for 1 solid week running Assonance 2.0 with Set's 1.4.3 1200 kernel, and JK3. BUT, I had to go back to stock, and it STILL did it, then with Axura 2, 2.1 and 2.2; still did it. Finally went back to stock JF6 no root, nothing sideloaded, and it still did it. I went into my local service center this afternoon actually for a different reason, my headphone jack stopped working totally. The techs had seen the button pressing before, and they are pretty sure it's a firmware issue.

I'd recommend going to your local service center and get a new device. I suspect that it will only get worse
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradPitts137:
Ive reflashed Axura about three times now. uninstalling apps (doing tibu restore every time) and the home button was still crazy, this last round did the usual odin3 back to stock, flashed axura, setiron kernal, and the jl3 modem but didnt tibu restore and everything is fine no more crazy home button:D still dont know what app was the problem but my phone is fixed... only bad part is manual app restore from market:(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradPitts137:
I think I narrowed it down to sgstools had to reflash again after installing market fix and camera hack :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Hey folks,

I've been passing this around IRC, but I thought I'd drop it off here too. This is a compiled Eclair Spare Parts apk that I did a year or so ago for my old D1 aosp roms.

Features:

Ad free. Don't support the stolen version in the market!

Keep launcher in memory. For those launchers that don't have the option. Saves redraw time, at the expense of some memory.

http://adrynalyne.us/files/SpareParts.apk Right click save as. Install like any apk.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] RacerXFD:
What's different from ad free?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Other than whats mentioned, nothing.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jdellingson7:
Link is screwed up
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] 08cherd4:
no its not, just right click the link and hit "save as" :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] norm883:
Not an APK file but a zip

This comes over as a zip file and freezes the phone when applied.

norm883
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheBadBen:
Weird. The name of the file is: "Spareparts.apk"

How do you get it to be a zip file?

Either way, try navigating to it in Root Explorer and see what happens when you extract.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] underv0ltage:
Why don't you report that already?

[[]]
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] pkopalek:
It stinks when people steal things like that.

Hard to prove your case when lots of people in the Windows and *nix world already use the 'replace the hosts file' trick for this.

Sucks.

We all appreciate your work though, ad! Thank you for this.

hi guys

iv just bought a wildfire and it locked for 3 mobile UK

can i unlock it for free ??

by the way i am not in the UK any more and i need ti unlock it as fast as passable

thnx
[Wildfire General] mac4rfree:
1-) Root the phone by unrevoked. Just go to their site, http://unrevoked.com. Just do a search on the forums for more info.

2-) create a goldcard. you can do it manually. Search for the manual way as there are many posts on that.

3-) Download a wwe rom for your wildfire.Link to wwe rom http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz...189_signed.exe.

4-) Turn off your phone. Power your phone while holding volume down and power button. This will get you to the bootloader. Pick fast usb and start the RUU on your computer and let it install the new rom on your phone.

Hope this works for you.

I think he meant network unlock, not rooting/flashing.

Hi,

I too have a new HTC wildfire network locked to Vodafone UK. I need to use another service provider sim in this phone. Can someone help me unlocking this? I know vodafone can unlock this for 20 pounds, but can this be done without spending so much?

[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
Debranding is NOT the same as unlocking.
[Wildfire General] dghersin:
So, guys, as i see, there is no way to unlock wildfire, just by flashing it. I'm right?

Maybe there is some flash to comletly remove the locking state?! (network lock)

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Best regards.
[Wildfire General] inforfinfor:
There is not any free way to unlock Wildfire. You have to get an unlocking code and put it into your phone.

i just got a 3 branded wildfire, i take it the only to unlock it is via imei number unlock code?

is there any free way of doing it and if not is there any cheap relible place to get it unlocked?

[Wildfire General] fino1:
so , there actually isn't any way to get the code for free?? i've heard that some guy unlocked his ZTE Racer for free in like five minutes... why should this be any harder... bloody code! i've spent last two days searching the web for it... and i couldn't find the free one...

P.S. I'm from Serbia, so i can't use PayPal, and stuff like that... not any time soon...

but in stores, here in Belgrade, they want 30-35 euros, for a freakin' unlock code! it's nuts! :mad:
[Wildfire General] kesic:
Ni kod babe nema dzabe :) , if 30€ is too much for you (obviously it is) then go for 16$ on htcsimunlock web site. If PayPal doesn't work for you you have alternative ways of payment there: CREDIT CARD online now, CREDIT CARD by FAX, CREDIT CARD by PHONE, CHECK/CHEQUE with Proforma Invoice.

There is no public open way of doing unlock for free for HTC Widfire so far and you have two choices: keep it locked on current provider or pay for unlocking. :D

Free unlock ONLY for Serbian Telenor users

1st method:

Go to telenor shop and ask for phone unlock.

2nd method:

Send email request to reklamacije@.... with your mobile number and IMEI number.

Attach a copy of your ID card.

They will said that the phone is optimized for telenor... bla bla

after few days you will get the unlock code.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Omiclops:
The Anonymous one won't even flash over, I try it and before it says completed it just stops and doesn't flash. Any chance of a fix because I really like it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fidorulz:
I use root explorer to copy and paste it into system/media

I take it you are doing it the adb way. Haven't used that in forever.

I would recommend trying root explorer (dont know if 15min trail is already in effect)

If you use it dont forget to mount R/W prior to pasting to allow you to overwrite

Also im using CM 6.1 but it should work with most roms
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Omiclops:
I don't know how to use adb properly or root explorer, I just put it and went to recovery to flash it. Can you tell me how to do it using root explorer?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fidorulz:
You can download it from the market its not free but worth the money. Put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd then with root explorer simply copy paste it to system/media make sure mount r/w is on at the top right.

This isn't intended to be flashed via recovery
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Omiclops:
I done exactly what you said and it still keeps my old one which I flashed a few weeks ago. Any help?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fidorulz:
When you past the new bootanimation is it giving you an error or asking you to over write?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Omiclops:
There's no error, it asks me to overwrite which it does. I restart and it's the same one as before.

EDIT - I overwrited it in data/local and it worked :)

Is there anyway to extend the original .. the blue is nice but i prefer the original

Only problem is its loops extremely fast and not as slow as the blue version

Greatly appreciated ..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fidorulz:
To extend it you would need either more frames or to lower the frames per sec in the txt which would make it slower. Open the txt and you can lower the framerate from there. I think its set to 20 or 15 currently
