[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
You don't need access to a pc. Download a rom that has it. Use a file manager to extract the rom to your sd card and move it to system/app.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobbylx:
Here is it zipped up. Download this to your phone, unzip and copy it to /system/app with root explorer or terminal.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lonesomecrow:
Thanks for this. I forgot to mention that I had tried it numerous times with no success and although the one you just posted does appear in my app drawer, it force closes as soon as I open it. I really don't wanna change my rom but I will have to if I can't get this player to work. Is there any permissions that I would have to modify? Thanks again.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobbylx:
I don't if it's permissions or if it requires something else? I guess you could always change the permission on it to 777 and see if that works. If not I don't really know.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lonesomecrow:
I actually found a flashable .zip in the fascinate forum and it works except it force closes when you switch to disc mode and when u use the controls from the notification bar.
[XPERIA X2 General] mendoza1:
I've been using HTC devices for a couple of years, and over time I've changed about 5 of HTCs. In each thread for each HTC phone there are a number of ROMs and Chefs.

So, this blank XPERIA X2 part of forum has got me stunned. The reasons of X2 being pushed a side are understandable, but this phone has a lots of quality.

I would like to ask, from very experienced people on this forum, to consider to open this phones quality.

Thank you

For several days I am the owner hd7, and already I have my doubts.I wanted HD2 but they hadn't to offer. Does anyone already tried to install the navigation IGO8? Will this work? please help!!!!!
[HD7 General] zeka1974:
Hi,

For the moment there is no GPS software compatible with WP7.

We must wait more time for the companies launch new version that could work with WP7.

Thanks

[HD7 General] medicos767:
im conused now, so , should i exchange the phone or should wait few months??
[HD7 General] Audio:
That's really up to you. If you don't like it, then the phone isn't for you, take it back. If you do like it and are willing to wait another couple of months for GPS software, then wait. For info, i've been using the built in Maps application to get to places and it's fine as a temporary workaround.
[HD7 General] Trimegisto:
The biggest problem at the moment is that we are forced to use the Zune portal and this will only work in a very limited number of countries.

I cannot buy any application in the marketpalce just because I live in Portugal!!!

And this is the main reason why so many companies are not willing to spend money, time and resources in developing to such a limited audience.

IGO8 was the best GPS software I have ever seen for the Xperia X1 or for any Win mobile 6.5 phone, now we cannot use it because the developers, european, are not going to do something that most of their present costumers won't be able to buy and use in their WP 7 phones!

For the same reason we don't have Skype and so many others...

Microsoft forums are loaded with complaints about this, even the people in Canada can't use Zune portal, can you believe this?

This sucks...
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
Not sure if I'd call the countries that WP7 is available in a "limited audience," that isn't a fair judgment simply because your country isn't supported... Most major countries ARE supported...

Now, to answer your question, the OS is a couple months old, I'd expect to see a rush of GPS software being released soon, especially with Verizon and Sprint getting involved. I'd also expect a lot of these to utilize the API to Bing Maps... Saving space on the device and making a more direct inclusion to the OS.... That's just my theory though. Be patient...
[HD7 General] Trimegisto:
Are you for real? This is the list of supported countries:

20 countries!!! 20!!!

Out of almost 200 existing now! That's 10%...

In the remaining 90% of the countries in the world we are not able to buy one single song, one single application...

Imagine yourself in this situation, what would you do?

I know people that returned their phone the moment they realized how crappy the situation is.

I won't do it but I really feal cheated!
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
I'm not saying its an enjoyable situation, but most of the major countries are supported... Major... Also, yes, 200 countries.. But there are also some countries that won't allow implementation... But no, I wouldn't want to be in the situation, and as a Microsoft supporter I would like to see the list grow...

Guys Question, maybe i too stupid for that, but how you can cancel/off everything , what you use in hd7 eg. video player , music other app?? Do I have to use arrow to make everything off? just arrow?
[HD7 General] Lumina:
Yup, 10% of the worlds countries but I bet that's close to 50% of the worlds population.

Wouldn't call that a small market??

edit; According to wiki, that's 32% of the worlds population.
[HD7 General] nameejokerx:
But the problem is Microsoft tend to distribute their phone with operator of the country without realising they dont fully support for the country like what apple do in the past. So people who buying the phone will stuck with the phone basic apps and we cant even sideload the app (although we can but ask microsoft yourself) and stuck with a contract you cant easily terminate it.

You can see that my country Malaysia had been announced as one of major countries that will sell HD7 under Maxis but do you see my country listed above? How do we suppose to buy app? by hacking the phone?

This is the link for proof

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/windows-phone-7-handsets-the-tale-of-the-tape/

I think all the WinPhone 7 is good and better than apple with support of outlook and most importantly office sharepoint but the lacks of support is really frustrating. Im really regret that i not opt for HTC Desire HD.

P/S : Steve Balmer and Steve Jobs ( name also same ). Sorry for my English.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eaa628:
I have one i bought for grins to play with so I can understand Android better. here are the specs. things i have done is Rooted it, tried Set Cpu but it chokes on it. Just wondering if there is anything i can do to tweak it.. I am just looking to play with it as it was cheap and my fear of bricking is less than if i used my archos 101. Are there any firmwares out with 2.0, 2.1 or even 2.2 that would work on it? Believe me i do not want someone to do the work for me I just want to be pointed in the right direction.

i have read that there are firmwares that will run off the SD card for testing as well so you don't brick the tablet.

I know the 2.2 is BS it's 1.6

Memory = 256

Model = Generic

Firmware Version = Android 2.2

Kernel Version = 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
Warning: whether you preform these steps correctly or incorrectly, you may be left with a device which cannot be recovered to a previous state. Because this process operates on the recovery partition it leaves you with little room to recover if flashed incorrectly, especially if your normal Android mode doesn't boot.

(although realistically you can just flash ESPRIMG.zip from HBOOT to recover, or fastboot)

So here it is ladies and gentlemen: Clockwork 3.0.0.5, based on a git version pulled/compiled on January 6th, 2011 from the CyanogenMod 7.x (CM7) repository. So what's new? Nothing that I can tell! Not sure why it deserves version 3.x, but I guess changing the text color and background is considered a 'major upgrade'. ;)

This is provided in .img format - NOT an update.zip format. That means you'll have to flash it to your recovery partition using flash_image. Obviously that means you first need root

AND

S-OFF. No, I won't tell you how to root your phone or what S-OFF is.

Instructions:

$ su
# flash_image recovery recovery-cw3-test1.img

'flash_image' isn't included intentionally - if you're smart enough to know how to flash this properly and understand the risks, then you might be smart enough to know where to get 'flash_image'.

How'd I do it? Top Secret - I'd have to kill you if I told you. :cool:

Download link: [REMOVED - use one from CM7]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14943973/recovery-cw3-test1.img

Need to revert back to 2.5.0.1? Flash this: http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-espresso.img

Enjoy it? Thank me!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
Is it possible to get it in an update.zip format ? I don't want to mess with s-off for now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
Not from me, sorry. I don't see any point in supporting the legacy method, especially when this version of CW doesn't give any readily-apparent advantages to the older one.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Nice find. I actually have S-OFF but when I start this recovery it is telling me error mounting system, data and others. Is this normal or is something wrong with my setup?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
It IS a test build. I'm about to flash it now, I'll let you know if it's just you or not ;)

And FLASH_IMAGE is indeed included, at least its built into cm6.

Edit: it isn't just you, the recovery is practically nonfunctional haha. There are errors all over when you boot into it, mount usb storage crashes it, and it can't mount anything, including the sd card, so its virtually pointless to flash at this point
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
But the only new features you see would be the new color?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Pretty much yeah. It was orange instead of green. Some of the menus had different names, easier to understand for noobs, but they had the same content. But don't flash it until it's more functional.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Ok well can someone post an older Clockwork recovery.img so we can reflash it? We can't use this one to do anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
I was at work when I uploaded the image and because of that I only briefly tested it. The errors at the beginning aren't critical, but I'll look into the overall functionality being broken, at some point tonight.

Hence this being a "TEST". :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Thanks

I appreciate that. I like beta testing new things. It does seem to have a few more functions. I just couldn't revert back.....

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mymomma8:
Actually.. i see a new option to partition SD card straight from the recovery menu... this is a very useful feature... and i think thats why it deserves that build jump from 2.5 to 3.0..... but at this point... it is in an UNUSABLE state.. i understand it is a test build... but i cannot test anything because it crashes on every single option you can possibly choose... will go back to 2.5 and wait for a stable, or at least more functional test build... hope to see some improvements soon... I do not doubt that you guys can have this thing up and running in no timee.. its a good starting point.. Keep the work going... looking forward to it...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
was anyone else hoping for a terminal like in good ol' amon_ra? I was...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elry567:
Be nice to have it in update.zip form for the ones without s_off
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
S-off really is a must have. I attached the working build of 3.0.0.5, you have to either use flash_image with it, or fastboot flash, both of which require s-off.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elry567:
Thnx
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
Sounds like youre doing it wrong. You can no longer use the power button to select options but rather the trackball

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mymomma8:
I flashed it... it seems to be CW 2.5.... not CW 3.0 :/

No, i select the options with the trackpad... the problem is a bunch of recovery/cache errorss... that i cannot seem to fix, i tried wiping recovery/cache... and problem still persistess

No crashes, everything works... sucessfully partitioned SD card. Will create a guide on how to partition SD card using this recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Alright thanks it works now!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Keep in mind that if you reboot into recovery from Rom Manager you will only go to the recovery image that is downloaded from the program. There is no 3.0+ in the app yet. Mine is still 2.5.0.1. From the Cyanogen reboot menu you can get to the recovery that is flashed from fastboot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
I'm not sure if its this new recovery or not but when I nandroid backup, it doesn't detect/backup my ext partition (its 1 gig btw and has a 32 swap)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
I tend to use the older recovery that is downloaded with Rom Manager. The new one doesn't do Nandroid backup or restore correctly. At least in my experience.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Aw man well that's dissapointing, I guess ill be downgrading when I have the time
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
No, it's possible that I did attach the wrongly named cw3 zip I had, I may have lost the right one :P

And actually, I found a way around that. If you delete the /sdcard/clockwork folder and clear the app data for rom manager, open it, go to menu > manual override or something rather for the clockwork installation, it will just assume you flashed clockworkmod manually and not reflash it every reboot. Chain flashing works great in cw3, no compatibility issues as of yet.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
so the original beta version of this is lost? no links to it? what's the "use the one from cm7" mean?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sbell7105:
Anyone get this working?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thekroof:
I have it flashed on mine and it works just fine. Used it to flash CM7 and later flash back to CM6. I've never had to restore a backup so I can't tell you if this functionality works. I don't receive any errors when I get into it either.

The only thin I HAVE noticed is that ROM Manager (latest version) doesn't see it. No big deal to me.

How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE

HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.
​

About:

The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version. Downgrading will completely reset your device to factory defaults, so remember to back up all important data (such as contacts, game saves and sms messages).

System requirements:

HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)

Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher

[Warning] Telus DHDs may lose sound because the 1.32.405.6 is not fully compatible with the sound chip. Just start using a custom ROM, and it will work fine.

How to downgrade:

Section 1

Section 2a [For Froyo ROMs, 1.7x and 1.8x]

Section 2b [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.x]

Section 3

Big thanks: Scotty2, Guhl and the fre3vo team

Downloadcount for Downgrade package v1 is 15808, and for v2 it is 32012.

[Desire HD Android Development] robE9:

cd /data/local/tmp/

also, the psneuter is a .txt file, just remove the .txt extension to use the file.

You still will not have permanent root of 1.72/1.75! but this does allow you to downgrade and attain root on older Firmware
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Did you get #, and did you run the misc_version executable? Did you write the version number correctly there?

That is right. The psneuter gives temporary root, but as scotty2 said, it kind of shoots the current rom in the head while doing that..

[Desire HD Android Development] Trevize:
How do you solve the "main version is older" issue?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] simmeone:
This was my first thought too! The latest official rom from HTC runs very good and battery-life is much longer as before. Sorry, I don't want to go back again ...

If we can get temproot with this little downgrade-tool, is it not possible to get root-rights without the way of downgrade?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
The method that allows the device to give you temproot (I am quoting scotty here) pretty much shoots the current rom in the head while doing it. So this is not for everyday use, just to edit the misc and downgrade.
[Desire HD Android Development] syklitengutt:
Ok thanks for the help.

Changing SD card worked.

Many thanks. No more ads.

Finally.
[Desire HD Android Development] burimii:
Downgraded with no problems thank you !

[Desire HD Android Development] dr.m0x:
To get radio s-off and then you can upgrade again using a safe method which will give you proper root. Even with a "proper" temp root like visionary you still face the problem of the nand being locked. I.e. no ability to make permanent changes to anything except /data partition.
