I was able to get it to work after reading the same post. Your Archos becomes a giant trackpad that is in sync with your TV so you have to touch it in the right place to represent the button on the screen to okay the TV out. It worked for me but the trackpad usage sucks.
[Gen8 General] Kashban:
Better connect usb mouse and keyboard... still not optimal (clone view would be best), but much better use than guessing where to tap on the archos screen.

*Updated

There are a few different apps that will let you put folders on your home screen. I will show you SiMi Folders and Folder Organizer. These apps are used to create folders and to mange their contents, such as apps, bookmarks, etc. The folders are then applied to your homescreen as Widgets.

*Simi Folders have a box that pops up from the folder and will let you scroll through it left to right in a single row. There are not many options for modifying.

*Folder Organizer has a box that adjusts it's size to the number of items stored. It lets you scroll vertically if you need to. There are many options for modfiying. It comes in a Lite and a paid version. I found this one to be more responsive than Simi.
[Nook Color General] BugsBunny891:
i prefer app mate. i have over 50 games and the scrolling i would have to do on simfolders would make me go insane
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
i use a free app called Folder Organizer. It works great and helped me to have a nice clean homescreen :) (also using Zeam Launcher)
[Nook Color General] supersoulfly:
I'm giving it a try right now. Like it. Thanks for the tip.
[Nook Color General] myecomemail:
Smart Shortcuts is free and also works very well on the NC with Zeam and LP. The key is to add the categories ('tags') to the homescreen as widgets instead of shortcuts.
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
I've just started using this as well. Is there a way to change the order of applications within the folder? For instance, I want all my emulators to be side by side, but they are all over the place since the names all start with a different letter.
[Nook Color General] supersoulfly:
I'm using Folder Organizer now. I went ahead and paid for the premium version though. I know in that version there is a Folder option to "sort" that will change the order of the apps.
[Nook Color General] markiejones:
Thanks for this - I have switched my home page to Zeam, with 6 Simi Folders ("Readers", "Games", "Web", "Tools", "Google Apps", "Misc") Very tidy, though I wish it were slightly more customizable: ie. seeing all the text on the popup shortcuts etc.
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
I find that the folders take a while to show their contents after you click on them if they contain a significant amount of apps. Does this happen to everyone? Is there another folder app that does not have this problem? I have maybe 15 apps in my biggest folder, and it takes about 1.5 or 2 seconds to open after I click it.
[Nook Color General] supersoulfly:
I'm very happy with the Folder Organizer app, seems very responsive.
[Nook Color General] pooh-bah:
I have the paid version of Folder Organizer. Is anybody able to change the font color on the NC? The newest version of Folder Organizer gives you this ability under the custom skins option, but the custom skin options window is a bit cut off on the NC and it doesn't show the font setting.

On my NC, the font is blue and difficult to read.
[Nook Color General] supersoulfly:
The menus on folder organizer can all be accessed on my nook. perhaps your LCD density is higher, i'm using a density of 204.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiK31291:
i have a X10i on Sony Ericsson's 2.1 ROM for the 02 network.

i have tried one 2.1 ROM which has worked on my phone which i found on XDA Devs.

i have been using Z4 root.apk and it force closes before it finishes the root.

Z4 root has worked before on my phone.

i have reinstalled the 2.1 stock ROM from Sony Ericsson 3 times to see if this will rectify the problem.

nothing seems to work

please help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delbuenno:
you probably have the newest variant of 2.1 (2.0.2.A.0.24) which is unrootable at present.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty Reds:
You need to search... maybe a few threads down from this one.

[Wildfire General] magpie22:
I have rooted and upgraded my Wildfire to 2.2.1 from 2.1, worked fine and still does, but i have lost root.

I have read that i cant use the "unrevoked method" yet to get root back as it wont work with Froyo. Is this true or is it safe to do so.

If I cant use that method then can anyone suggest another way.

Thanks and be gentle as i am new to android.
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
Hi, if you updated with OTA update (official) or with RUU, you can't root. We have to wait until some depeloper find out the way to root the new HBOOT.

:)
[Wildfire General] magpie22:
I updated with a file called signed_121810_120233.zip if that helps.

Anyone know about that file, if its official or RUU
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
I'm downloading it to see if it has the new HBOOT. Give me a minute ;)

EDIT: It doesn't contain the new HBOOT, so you should be able to root. Trying Unrevoked is safe. If you had the new HBOOT, it would hang, but you wouldn't have any problem.

For what I read, you haven't run Unrevoked yet. Do it. :)
[Wildfire General] magpie22:
Thank you for your time and effort, i will try it later tonight when i get back home.

Will post and tell you the outcome.

Thanks
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
Great :)
[Wildfire General] magpie22:
Ok that did not work, it went through the process but said failed to get root, and asked if firmware was to new?
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
You have done this in the same computer you did the time it worked, right? For the HBOOT drivers in windows and all these things.

Looking at the zip you sent me, you should be able to root, but I guess that if you lost root, there is something that made you lose it. :S

If you want to try to get root anyway, try Unrevoked in Ubuntu. If not, Superoneclick, or Z4root.

But doesn't look good to root by now... :S
[Wildfire General] magpie22:
Yeah the exact same pc that i first used to go from 2.1 to 2.2.

Is Z4 safe to use
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
Yes, the worst thing that can happen is that the phone is slow until you reboot, if it can't get root. But htese methods are Temp root. It would be just to see if you can get root access, which I doubt at the moment.
[Wildfire General] magpie22:
Thanks for your help, i think i will just wait until unrevoked gets updated.
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
That's what I have to do, I'm in a similar situation for stupidly installing Froyo RUU...
[Wildfire General] magpie22:
If you notice an update to unrevoked can you PM me and let me know?
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
Of course. I just tried with v3.31, which must be the version you tried. I got your same error.

I will let you know. It must be near, because in v3.3 changelog they say "No update for Wildfire yet, sorry", so they are working on it.

:)
[HD7 General] Yellowarmadillo:
Well recently i'm have a problem with the alarm sound, after a few days using it the sound turn too slow. I'm check all the possibilities but right now the alarm do not wake me up because i can't hear the alarm so if any one have this problem and resolve then i'm said thank you.

pd: Excuse my bad English.
[Legend General] daigomi:
A few months back my Legend went through a cycle in the washing machine. Afterwards I did all the recommended things (take everything apart, leave it in the sun for a day or two, keep it in a jar of water absorbent silica in the evening). Anyway, after three or four days of that, I put it back together again and my battery was dead. Tested it with someone else's battery, and everything worked perfectly, I even made a call with it.

I then waited about 3 months for a new battery (it got stuck at customs) which I finally go this week. Thing is, I now have 0 connectivity with the phone no matter what I do. I always have 0 bars, I can't connect to wireless networks (even though I pick them up perfectly), and I can't get the GPS to turn on at all. Everything else works fine (including the FM radio), but there's no connectivity.

I was hoping it might be a software issue of some strange sort, since the wireless picks up well but just says "connecting--disconnected" when I try to connect. A hard reset did nothing to the phone though.

Is there anything else for me to try? I'm running pretty thin on ideas at the moment. Would replacing the back cover fix any of the connectivity issues? Also, is it still possible for it to be a software problem, and should I maybe try to install a custom rom on it?

Any advice at the moment would be much appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I just realised that I had made things worse with my reset. Now I have no file browser with which to sideload apps and no internet connectivity. EDIT2: Managed to fix the file manager problem with ADB. Now just the actual problem again :(
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
The GSM antenna is in the bottom part that covers the battery compartment - I'd say you have some oxide on those two contacts.

Take a small screwdriver (or a needle) and gently scrub those pins on your phone.

As for the two on the cover, you'll notice those two parts come apart, so I'd take the inner part and gently brush the two contacts with a piece of cloth and a toothpaste - it's a good thing to gently brush something.

If that fails and you're sure you plugged all inside as it was...it could be another problem...

You may also try bending the two contact in the phone out - these act like a spring, but be gentle about it ;)

P.S.: Is your Legend at least clean now? :D

EDIT: Now that I think about it, you can try the phone with piece of wire:

cut a wire of : speed of light/frequency in Hz and connect it to the two pins inside the phone ;)

For USA:

299 792 458 m/s divided 1 900 000 000 Hz = 0,15778 m
[Legend General] daigomi:
Thanks Dr.Romca.

I'm trying the clearning out for now. when you say the battery cover comes apart, are you talking about the piece of plastic inside the rubber? There seems to be an additional piece of plastic inside the rubber which might come loose, but I'm not quite sure how to pry it out without breaking it. Any tips on how to do this?

I'll give the piece of wire a skip until the very end :p
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
It's not glued or anything, just push the rubber part in the middle and try to click it out...
[Legend General] daigomi:
Ahh ok, I wasn't sure what to expect on the other side. Didn't want to jam a screwdriver in between the plastic and rubber and hurt some electronic component. Managed to get it loose though, and gave it a thorough but gentle rub down.

EDIT: Nope, still no service on it. I still find it strange that it doesn't want to connect to the GPS or the wireless either. As far as I know, those shouldn't be affected by an antenna issue right?
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
That's strange... WiFi and GPS antenna is in the other rubber part....

It seems there might be something wrong with the PCB...

I'm at a loss here...
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Damn I have connectivity issues here...

The strange thing is it worked once after the washing...

If you have the courage for it, you can also try this:

Take the phone apart, I mean really apart, if you can unmount the display/touchscreen. Then take the PCB - mainboard, try to put a sticker over a microphone and the repro, then take a toothbrust and a detergent and brush the PCB - make sure you clean all, there will probably be some metal plates that look they can be unmounted, so try to unmount them and clean beneath them.

After this take the PCB and put it in the hot-air oven (if you have one - NOT a Microwave! ;)) 40 - 50 °C for like an hour should do the trick...

You can also use alcohol to clean the PCB, but since it was water that caused this, I'm gonna presume you'll have more luck dissolving with water again...

Anyway, that's what I'd do, but I'm and engineer, so if you're not sure, just take the phone to service ;)
[Legend General] RMWessels:
Hello,

The WiFi and gsm signal are at seperate places on your phone, so you either got a major problem with the hardware, or the ROM just went nuts. I suggest you flash a new ROM before you take the phone apart, cause it might get damaged irriversably..

Goodluck, keep us updated!
[Legend General] daigomi:
Thanks for the continuing advice. You're right about the engineer thing though; since I'm not an engineer I'll leave taking the phone apart until the very end.

I've never flashed a ROM before, but I'm sure I'll be able to figure that out. What initially made me think that the ROM might have gone crazy is the fact that the wireless actually picks up networks. The further I get from a network, the worse the signal, and the closer I get the better, so the wireless signal is working properly. It just seems to have a problem connecting, which seems like a software issue rather than a hardware issue.

If that fails, I'll send it to HTC and see if they can do a repair for me. I already sent it to them for a check-up and a new battery directly after I had it dried out. I included explicit instructions that it got water damaged, that I was not looking for a warranty repair, and I would just like them to make sure everything is working and bill me for the repairs and a battery. Two weeks later I get the phone back with a note saying that they noticed some water damage, and they don't do warranty repairs on water damaged phones :( Anyway, I'll try them again.

If HTC fail to do anything again, I'll try my luck with a full teardown. Still, ROM flash first.

EDIT: Ok, so I followed this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894465) post up until the end of downgrading your rom, and the problems are exactly the same. From my understanding, this would have installed a clean rom onto the phone, so any software issues should have been cleared up. I'll still try and install a custom ROM, just because I've always wanted to and just maybe something will work, but the software problem seems an unlikely explanation now.
[Legend General] daigomi:
This is getting very strange now. Using my newfound "Wi-Fi" Hotspot powers, I can actually create a Wi-Fi hotspot that my computer successfully connects to. Once again, if the hardware was broken I don't see how this could work. I still can't connect from my phone to any Wi-Fi network though.

As I mention (for a completely unrelated reason) earlier, I sent the phone in to HTC. This might be a very dumb question, but is it at all possible that the ROM on my phone works at a different wavelength/frequency than what is used by carriers in South Africa (where I'm from)? I'm thinking maybe HTC did a stock reset or something which changed it, because I never tested my phone after getting it back from them. That would also explain why my phone doesn't have reception with the current ROM. Just note that I have no idea how these things work, it's a complete shot in the dark :p

EDIT: My GPS also works now, or at least the gps indicator flashes when it should. Since I don't have any kind of internet access, I have no way of knowing if the GPS works, but in the past it never flashed.

I'm currently thinking of using my computer's wireless to connect to my phone, and then bridging that connection with my UTP connection to connect to the internet. I have no idea if this will work or what exactly if it will get me closer to a real solution, but at least having internet access on my phone will make things a bit easier. Will let you know how it goes.
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
So have you succesfully flashed a different ROM?I'm not sure what type of rom should you have but WWE by it's definition should work...So if you have rooted, try any WWE ROM...
[Legend General] daigomi:
I first downgraded it to 1.31, and now it's on BlaYo's B0.2.
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
can you check what radio you are using?

You may want to update it!

It's in settings / about phone / software / baseband version

My is 47.51.32.17U7.13.35.05

Not sure if there's a special version for SA, but here is a radio update only:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706435
[Legend General] daigomi:
Sorry for the late reply. Real life caught up for a day or two.

My baseband version was 47.26.35.04u_7.05.35.26L. I updated it with the radio update you posted, and it's still not working. As far as I know, South Africa can use any American phone except those on Sprint, if that helps at all.

Also, I was away from home for the last week, and now that I'm back home my phone connects perfectly to the wi-fi here. I am certain that I did not make any mistake in connecting to the other networks I tried, as I tested the settings on multiple computers and entered the passwords multiple times, but the wi-fi seems to have been a red herring. So the only problem left now is normal phone connectivity.
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
I'm sorry to hear that...I'm not sure what the L means at the end...but about the wifi thing, it has been mentioned here that different locations use different WiFi channels...so at this point it's almost sure you have a driver/settings mismatch somewhere...

but I don't know much about that...sorry..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
I have an issue occurring where the wi-fi connection stops at obtaining IP address on the gingerclone ROM. This happened once a few days ago also. I figured it was a bad flash so I reflashed and the problem was corrected. Today it occurred again, I do not believe it is my router because the other devices connected to it (printer, 2 laptops, nintendo wii) all work without any problem. Are there any suggestions to fix this problem permanently without reflashing?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
whoops I meant to hit reply and I hit the Thanks Button . lmao

Any way I get the same issue you speak of the way I fix it

is by using a Static IP . Its kind of annoying setting the IP ,

gateway, dns and all but beats reflashing .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Thanks, I'll try it when I get home. Are you on eugene's rom also?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
Yup. GingerClone R2.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
My Wife and I have the EVO, I am running 6.1 C mod, but my Wife doesn't want me to install custom roms on her phone. When do you think HTC will update the EVO to 2.3 Gingerbread ? And will it even happen at all, or will they just concentrate on the EVO-2, due out in 5 months.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Noone can answer that unless they are in the know over at sprint and HTC, If i had to guess and judging by how they got froyo out first, then probably by the end of Feb or early march.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
That is kind of what I think too. Then it makes me wonder, the EVO-2, should be out I am sure, on the one year anniversary of the EVO, so that would be in June, to compete with the iPhone5 :)

But with HTC slower to bring out updates due to SENSE UI, will the EVO-2 be a "Gingerbread" dual core device, or hopefully a "Honeycomb" dual core phone ? What are the predictions ?
[EVO 4G General] Eat it iPhone:
Of course its just speculation, but i think Evo-2 will be gingerbread as will most phones in 2011. If we see honeycomb it wont be till the very end of 2011 i think.

I personally gave up waiting for 2.3 on the Evo and just flashed custom ROM. As you said it usually takes HTC longer because they have to incorporate Sense into it. If the Evo see's 2.3 (i beleive it will) then it will prob be late in the Q1 or early Q2 of 2011.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
You gave up waiting? Hasn't it only been out a few weeks?
[EVO 4G General] Eat it iPhone:
Well we've known of it for months, and besides i never claimed to be very patient :)
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Honeycomb will be shown off on tablets in just a few days, and I'd expect those tablets to be on store shelves in just a matter of weeks. My guess is that Honeycomb (or it's equivalent for phones) will follow the usual Android update schedule and will be released for phones in May. With the Nexus S just dropping I'd expect that the new OS is being developed on it, so HTC will probably be scrambling around May to get it working on their phones. The EVO 2 (if it even will exist) will probably be announced a few weeks before that so chances are that it will ship with 2.3 and get the newer update a few months/weeks later just like the original EVO.

As for 2.3 on the EVO. I wouldn't hold my breath. There's a decent shot of it coming but with all the new flagship phones that HTC now supports, it's probably a low priority for them. If it does come, I wouldn't be surprised if that it takes as long as March or more.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I was pretty surprised how fast the EVO officially got 2.2 it was like two months after the phone came out. So in theory can we expect 2.3 Gingerbread for the EVO in mid to late February ? I wouldn't be surprised if it does come out around then. Because around that time "Honeycomb" will soon be getting all the press and being released on the major Tablets in March they say.
[EVO 4G General] entropism:
Strictly theory and conjecture? I'd say late February. I know we're going to be one of the first to get GB, but I also know that Sprint likes to take its sweet ass time releasing updates. You have to remember that HTC releases the beta to the telecoms, and they beta test like crazy before release. Sprint just happens to take the longest usually.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Nobody knows when it's coming out. We're neither psychics nor HTC employees. Your only safe bet is that it's not today, it's not tomorrow, and CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies will be out first.
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
Hell, maybe never being that CES is next week and the evo shift is on the horizon.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Any update on EVO officially getting 2.3 ? I thought I heard rumored to be late Feb / early March ?
[EVO 4G General] sand1303:
If ur evo is rooted will u still see the ota update?

Sent from my rooted HTC EVO using the xda app!
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
No.

No, but you wouldn't want it anyways. A rooted version would be out <48 hours afterwards, in which you could keep your root.
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
yes it would. A rooted phone will still get the ota update if it is based on a stock rom. An aosp rom will not however.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Not necessarily. Many ROM devs will alter some of the files so that OTA notifications don't appear by tricking the phone into thinking it has a different version.
[EVO 4G General] joehunni:
I was actually in a corporate Sprint store a couple days ago and overheard two employees talking about the evos "update sometime next (this) month".
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
Only if they alter the rom version info, which seems pointless to me.
[EVO 4G General] speedy0339:
Some people have no idea what they are talking about. Honeycomb is for tablets only...
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
my guess is..

we will know by end of feb.
[EVO 4G General] sand1303:
So my evo is rooted with stock Rom still. That means I will get the update notice if I am reading right. Now when and if it comes will it unroot my phone? I assume it will.

Sent from my rooted HTC EVO using the xda app!
[EVO 4G General] CODISDABOMB:
well with all the phones coming out, and a possible new phone the replace the evo, it'll be a while, if ever. for at least a little while were stuck with custom roms. whats a good one for use with 2.3, and still has HTC SENSE UI somewhat? i think we'll get 4g b4 2.3.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
99.99%.. if you go with the OTA update.. it will unroot and lock it down. if you want root back... you will have to wait till someone finds a way to.
[EVO 4G General] Bradart:
Or, when you get a notification that the update is available, you could wait the extra 5-7 minutes for a rooted flashable version to show up on here.
