[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
Mods Please move if in wrong section.

With that out of the way before I get flamed I just wanted to answer a couple questions that a few have had regarding when we can see 2.2.1 on the Vibrant.

Heathen was kind enough to port 2.2.1 for us back in December but unfortunately some files are missing (most likely having to do with T-Mobile network.) We ran into a problem with getting a soft semi-boot when the signal level reached -80 dBm. That left us with a phone that worked flawless if we didn't need to go outside. Several of us have been searching for the last month or so trying to find the problem to no avail. Tonight I tried something else. I successfully ported a different 2.2.1 rom to my phone and again it is flawless, but again that is if I don't want to leave my house. Same semi-soft-boot at -80 dBm.

Now if anyone wants to jump in and give some insight as to which files need to be changed or added please do. Rest assured though several people are still trying to bring 2.2.1 to you as well as 2.3. When a stable version of either is ready we will gladly post it.
[Streak 5 General] sejtam:
I am running an EU streak with the official 2.2 upgrade (318).

I have several additional programs installed, such as Skype, fring, BBC news, ebay, WiFi manager.

I don't normally use these. But every now and then, when I check the Task manager, I see that it offers to kill those, so it seems they are started automatically. I don't have 'automatic updating' turned on in the market app, which is one reason I think they could be started'.

what else could cause those apps to restart every so often?
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Just curious if anyone had issues with slacker closing it self out after about 30 minutes of play. Pisses me off, because the app won't reopen from the recently used apps list, have to launch it back from the app drawer. It also closes out of the notification bar. I dont think this is normal because my hero would play all day. If others are having the problem, I want to write the dev and see what they have to say about it.
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
Which ROM? DK28 has horrible RAM management.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Slacker, once a great app that is now pure garbage. I uninstalled that thing months ago. Would open by itself in the background, ate batteries for lunch, and too many ads.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
It almost seems as if Slacker watches for user interaction with the device and after about a half hour it will close if you don't interact w/ your device.

Really gets on my nerves too. It does the same thing for me but I've never paid attention to how soon it will shut down.

I've been using Pandora quite a bit lately.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Yeah, this seems to be it - if I don't use the device at all, it closes down. Which sucks, I usually lay it on my desk while I roam the server room and listen to music.

It's funny sometimes I don't even realize it if I get busy on a project. But as soon as I do I have to go back and turn it back on. Pisses me off. I think Ill switch back to pandora...they both have their ups and downs. But I thought slacker was good for general background noise where pandora was good if I wanted something specific.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I normally don't notice right away when mine shuts down too.. still upsets me though that they do that..

Pandora FTW
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Ever try Tune In Radio? It broadcasts actual radio stations. I use it mostly for sports talk in my car. I use Pandora sometimes in my car also, but it's not a fav for a variety of reasons
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I also use TuneIn to listen to out of state radio stations, however, I prefer to pick artists that may not always be mainstream in one way or another..

Pandora is above average for this requirement, however, it does lack in others LOL
[Epic 4G General] rockrerun:
It amazes me how many people have problems with this app!

I use slacker at work and in my car for multiple hours every day and I've never had an issue. I do have a premium account, but I don't see how that would matter...

I've run stock, Syndicate, Midnight, & Viper roms and I've received nothing but excellent performance every time (streaming over bluetooth btw).

I guess it just really shows you how your mileage may vary from device to device, lol.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Can you test something for us since you're the only person that I'm aware of that has a premium account ??

Creat a free account and try it out for a week or just a few days and see if you experience similar problems. Maybe it works 'indefinitely' since you're a paying subscriber.. Seriously though, I was about to pay for premium because I like the caching option for times when I don't have a good signal or whatever.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
I'm attempting to do this on my girlfriend's NC (and she's not willing to purchase Root Explorer), so how in the heck do you do this via adb? In all the alternate keyboard threads, everyone makes it seem so easy, yet no one's actually explained how to do it.

Here are the two issues I'm having:

How do you set the directory to read/write outside of adb shell, and/or what the heck is this cross-device link crap?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Ah, figured it out! You can remount outside the shell! Hah!

In case anyone else needs to do this:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

Then just pull/push:

adb pull /data/app/com.dasur.slideit.vt.lite.apk .
adb push com.dasur.slideit.vt.lite.apk /system/app
reboot

I hope this helps someone else out there. :cool:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Paul,

It's on the wiki already ;)

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Replace_the_Default_Keyboard
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Aye, but that page is wrong because it doesn't take into account the "cross-device link error".

I had done exactly what it says, yet I got that error.

[Edit]: I see, the word shell is not needed.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Okay, I'm confused, is the wiki still wrong? :) Try cp/rm instead of mv?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Technique 1 is incorrect because that would result in the "cross-device link error" (see the picture in the OP).

Technique 2 shows "adb mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system", which I guess works (?). I did "adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system", which worked.

Anyway, forget this thread. Just was hoping to help someone else out there.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
No, I'd like to get the wiki documentation correct. :) That's why I'm asking. I'll update the wiki.

Just to make sure, the Technique 1 fix is to copy/remove vs move? Or just pull/push? I'll experiment some here myself too, I suspect copy/remove would work as well.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Awesome, thank you :cool:

To be honest, I'm not sure. I don't know what the "cross-device link" error is, or why Technique 1 worked for people (maybe it didn't? I don't know).

adb shell -> mount /system as rw -> moving a file to /system should work. I don't understand why it doesn't. Does anyone else out there know what the cross-device link error is?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Okay, I installed SmartKeyboard tonight so I got a chance to try it out.. Technique 1 is okay, but you did mv, not cp.. ;) I did note that the copy in /data/app did not get removed after rebooting.. I was under the impression that if the same app existed in /system/app and /data/app it would remove the /data/app version. So probably need to cp/rm, but for now the first technique does work.

Other one should as well, although I might need to verify you can mv from the sd card.. I think that would be fine.

I know what a cross-link is, but I'm not quite sure why it happens moving from different partitions in this case really.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
I'm using smartkeyboard and really like it, but when I go into landscape mode the letters are on the keys but floating below them. Any fix for this?

//from the nook COLOR
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
In a particular app? I haven't seen this at all.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
Happens with all apps anytime I go landscape.

//from the nook COLOR
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
That's quite odd.. Anyone else noticed this? I've never seen it happen... Have you tried a different theme? I doubt it'd be related to a theme, but who knows.

Can you get a screenshot of this behavior? Reproduce it, then hit the Nook and Vol Down button at the same time, it should take a screenshot. Upload it somewhere and link it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
Was just the HTC theme. Switched to iPhone and all is well and good, although I feel a little dirty using the iPhone keyboard..

//from the nook COLOR
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
There are LOTS of themes on the market..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hvuong2:
Hey... thanks for this. Anyone experiencing any lag? It takes like a second, before the screen even detects my finger pushing down on a key...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
What keyboard? And no. You might make sure that haptic feedback is disabled, I've heard that could slow it down but not anywhere near what you describe.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mally2:
Well is this possible ?

I'm sure there is some concern now as i can see no build :P

is it being worked upon or what ?? :D

No Gingerbread Sense Roms for Desire HD or Evo or Desire

so we have to wait for that to get Sense 2.3 in out Leos
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wilderwind:
Is there any updates? It would be perfect to get an Android 2.3.2 + Sense UI NAND ROM on HD2 (MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.2.6_NAND_A2SD+ based, for example).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] karendar:
It's all in HTC's hands. They have to upgrade their current code to Gingerbread and release it to phones. Once we have that, nothing can stop us! MUAHAHAHA!... Sorry, got carried away.

Hi

After a lot of research i have found a way to deploy provxml on WP7 HTC Device.

now we can create folder,write registry keys and move files.

Updated V 0.0.1 no more need touchxplorer to move file ,

now autodeploy the provxml you add into this xap

Prerequisites:

-An HTC Device Chevron unlocked

-HTC Connection setup

-the tool rgu to xml attached

-HTC-ProvXml-Deploy0.0.1.xap

1-Create a text file with REGEDIT4 on top 1st line.

put your registry keys in it. like in this exemple(Don't miss REGEDIT4 on the top)

(this key add more option in ease of access)

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Accessibility]
"CompactMode"=dword:0
"TTY"=dword:1
"telecoil_UI"=dword:1
"telecoil"=dword:1

2-Convert this text file to a provxml with the attached tool rgu-2-xml.exe

3-Rename this file CustClear.provxml

4-Extract the XAP from the attached RAR.

4-Put the custclear.provxml file inside the xap

If you have winrar

do a right clic on the xap then select open with winrar.

replace custclear.provxml .

5-Deploy the XAP on your device, Press the green button to apply your settings.

6-Uninstall HTC-ProvXml-Deploy then reboot to be sure.

Check this thread to found registry tweak (updated 15/05)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=907971

You can also move folder,delete files....

Search on Xda there is a lots provxml related thread.

Enjoy!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] surfing10:
Are you saying that is possible to read and write to WP7 registry with this program?

Can you create a guide for this? I'm very excited with this news because I'm looking for a way to correct my Caller ID matching using registry.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domineus:
sounds like a custom rom breakthrough keep us all posted

lemme grab remote execute now to see what it does
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pth6:
very good job
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
Very nice! Keep us posted! If this does indeed allow full file system and registry read/write it is definitely a huge deal.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xboxmod:
Yes

this allow full file system and registry write.

so after some registry tweak i'm sure WP7 will become fully open.

More info soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] martani:
Can you create new keys in the registry, not just writing/reading values?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
Basically ProvXML is used to "provision" the device, ie configure it. In the past you could do pretty much anything you wanted with the file system and registry (add/delete/modify anything). It sounds like this same thing should be possible here. The ProvXML will presumably be executed in the TCB chamber so should be completely unlimited.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] (nico):
It would be nice to use this to modify XML policy to grant custom DLL higher privileges.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] indiekiduk:
How could ProvXML be run from the TCB chamber? Are you flashing a custom ROM or something?

And this Seem to definitively unlock your device no longer need to run ChevronWP7 or use in flight mode.

My phone never been relock when connect to zune.

If someone can try and confirm it's cool.

XAP Attached.

This registry key are not for unlock device!!!

just to prevent relock when connect to the computer for chevron user.

But take care do not Relock your device with Chevron after this.

if you do it!

rename and apply the restoreCustClear.provxml include in the XAP

Sprint -- and the first method doesn't work. I get the carrier not found too.

Anyone else having the same problem on HD7 Sprint phones?

whats worse is that the failed attempt at the first method with the blank xap file ticked down one of the "installed programs" so I'm even MORE limited! Help!

:)

----------------------------] UPDATED, WORKING

4/13/11

Here's what I did:

1. downloaded the HTC Connection Setup

2. created the provxml with the tool found in the first post

3. renamed the provxml to *.mp3

4. deployed to the phone

5. found the file in the phone

6. using touchXplorer, renamed mp3 and copied to the windows folder

7. ran HTC Connection Setup, selected manual settings and selected SPRINT

8. once finished, it was A SUCCESS!

----------------------------] UPDATED, SOMETHING CHANGED

4/14/11

I went to do another phone in the same way (one day later) and the HTC Connect program has CHANGED. The provxml does not seem to "install" anymore -- and running the program on "sprint network" messes up the phone's data connection!

So I get the updated HTC Connect on my phone (the one that worked) and got the latest HTC Connect. Ran it with Sprint settings, and my phone has the same data connection problem!

sigh

----------------------------] UPDATED: Narrowing down?

4/14/11

I've opened up Operaters_Name.db and Operaters.db in an attempt to add sprint with no luck. What I've added is this:

[31001_00]

displayname=Sprint

[31101_00]

displayname=Sprint

[31601_00]

displayname=Sprint

(third one was already there) with the matching reference in the operaters_db

Now the newest HTC Connection Setup probably has an updated list. The file is hidden in Touchexplorer (probably because of the.db extension)

I can't get the XAP from the marketplace to inspect these two files on the newer HTC Connection Setup -- anyone know how to get the XAP?

-----------------------------] thanks

thanks to xboxmod and touchxplorer for their fine efforts and coding! thanks fiinix for getting me into the dev of wp7!

to hopefully convert it to a provxml unfortunately the rgu-2-xml.exe doesn't see the .txt document it seems to be looking for .reg .rgu files?

im confused as to waht to do?
