[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
Here's an idea -- use an app that can schedule your GPS to be on at a certain time every day. Or is that your idea with Tasker?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbie_from_NJ:
Tasker and mobile defense (i believe) have the capability of you sending a text to your phone and activating features. Which is exactly what I need.

I am looking to see what else is there available and obviously, reports from EVO users themselves...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
I believe wavesecure can turn on gps for rooted phones. I leave my gps on all the time and doesn't eat up much battery with how well kernels run now. Is there still a big difference in battery life with it on than off? If you're rooted and don't mind paying $20/yr for subscription, then wavesecure is an option. Don't know many other apps that can remotely turn on gps itself. Most apps can be remotely activated with sms for tracking, but don't think they can turn on the gps module. Hopefully, someone could be more helpful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cahiatt:
Lookout will turn on your GPS if off. Have used it a few times to find my wife's EVO. Works well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
Leaving gps "on" does not use battery. The gps is only on when a program that uses it is running. Leave it on...

Sent from the void...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
While that is true, consider this scenario:

Your phone isn't lost, but stolen. If the thief is smart but not too smart, he'll turn off GPS with a widget. Having the ability to turn it on remotely would be a valuable feature in this case.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
Also true

Sent from the void...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edisepic:
LOOKout will turn on the gps when you do search it. i can confirm this
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbie_from_NJ:
Thanx for the advice. I will definitely look into this as I already have Lookout.

And yes, leaving GPS on all the time is definitely not an option as I need to cover all bases - I always prepare for worst case scenarios.

Which leads me to the following:

If Lookout does indeed work in this manner, it will be a "good" fix but not an "excellent" fix. Remember worst case scenarios?

That's right - The first thing any educated thief would do is reset the phone, which would remove Lookout!

I read somewhere that Mobile Defense will not be affected by a phone reset.

I have to research this on Tasker though.

BTW - yes my Evo is also rooted and overclocked with custom kernel. So you can suggest pretty much any app to me... :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitokiri.pr:
Lookout can also find your phone using the mobile network. It will give you an approximated location, but it is very handy when your phone is out of GPS signal reach. I can confirm this as I have tried it myself. ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Hi,

I want to know if there is a way that I can see my nexus one on the TV. Or if not that, atleast show videos like from YouTube. I can only play audio.

Please help me. My TV has no USB port, but I have a USB thingy connected to my TV through HDMI.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Remote control your Nexus from your PC, and connect your PC to the TV.

But then why would you need Nexus...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obsy:
I'm afraid it's not possible... the only thing you could do is this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RotxeD:
afaik, the only device through which you can do something like that is desire HD, since it features a mini-HDMI port.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
You can't connect it the conventional way, since there's no HDMI port...but you could try through the USB cables

Btw, the Desire HD does not have a HDMI port, but the Evo 4G does.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RotxeD:
yeah, sorry for that. i have two friends, one with a Evo and one with a DHD, and i often switch the two of them.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
No problem :) Easy to get confused!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Sooooo......no luck. Man ill at least like to play YouTube bids on my TV from my nexus
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Sooooo, will it work if we took the adapter from the Samsung galaxy s 2?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Just get a Google TV box.

The Revue is $200 at present...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
How about something cheaper
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Just like how the sgs2 have HDMI, could there be one for the n1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] behelit:
you can use dlna or even airport on an N1 to stream videos/photos/music

check out twonky and there was an article about airport on xda portal a week back
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
....but can you get HDMI mirroring?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
There is no way to do HDMI mirroring without HDMI support built into the phones hardware, and unfortunately, the N1 lacks any ability to output video to anywhere other than the display on the phone.

What behelit was talking about is using a DLNA server on your device, which will allow you to have your music, videos, and pictures available for people to view over your local network with any DLNA compatible device. All while being wireless. Many newer Samsung and Sony TVs support this, along with a lot of their BluRay players (including other manufacturers) along with the PS3 and the XBox 360. Essentially it works like a dvd player where you will have menus and can pause and rewind and all that fun stuff.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I believe the usb host thread has examples of people using an external monitor, but I don't think the usb output is HDMI...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The USB host thread has people using external USB2HDMI adapter, which gets the output sent for it by the device driver in the OS.

No way to do anything like it without modifying the OS to have USB host capability to begin with. Or building a special external USB host and drivers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Where could u get that

?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
You could try and find a N1 Desktop Dock on eBay and use the mini-HDMI adaptor on that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Read the USB Host thread in General section. If you don't understand everything from there - means you shouldn't do it.
[Desire HD Android Development] LlabTooFeR:
Here new ARA ROM for Ace

http://www.filefactory.com/file/b53...f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_168914_signed.exe

Enjoy!
[Desire HD Android Development] abdullah1985:
Is this arabic version ?
[Desire HD Android Development] prank1:
It probably will be arabic, hence the 'ARA' word in the title..

This is good news as it will most likely have an official HTC arabic interface as well as official arabic fonts and htc arabic keyboard.

If someone could start ripping these from the ROM and making them flashable to other ROMs then we may finally have full arabic for the Desire HD.

I would flash this ROM just to take a look, but I am worried it may affect Radio S-OFF or mess up the Desire HD in a way which may prove unfixable, at least for awhile
[Desire HD Android Development] abdullah1985:
Yes hopefully one can helps us to install it as a custom rom
[Desire HD Android Development] Hakimy:
looking at the radio,it's almost the same radio which came with 2.2.1! does that mean we are getting a fixed 2.2.1 arabic rom or am I thinking too much? :P
[Desire HD Android Development] rdewa:
did any one try it ... if yes i got some questions :-

is it full arabic even with UI ?

if i'll upgrade to that ROM can i root it ?
[Desire HD Android Development] prank1:
DO NOT FLASH THIS RUU NORMALLY

For a safe install, follow the method I have written below. This makes sure you will not lose ENG/Radio S-OFF & ClockworkMod Recovery.

As with all stock/official ROMs, you will lose root after flashing so you will need to root the ROM yourself after flashing! (Step 7)

Features

FULL Arabic Interface

RTL Support & Joined Arabic Letters

Arabic Keyboard Included (Although looks cheap/third party, not HTC quality. See second picture below)

FULLY Compatible with English as well (includes standard HTC English Keyboard)

Arabic Kufi Font

Google Market is included

FULL Arabic Menus, Dialogues, Popups, etc

Android 2.2 (NOT 2.21)

View attachment 503656View attachment 503657View attachment 503658View attachment 503659View attachment 503660View attachment 503661View attachment 503664View attachment 503665

Instructions for safe install

* Make sure you have ENG HBOOT S-OFF

* Make sure you have Radio S-OFF

* Make sure you have permanent ROOT

* Make sure you have a Nandroid Backup

1) Download the Arabic ROM

2) Download Android ROM Manager 2.0 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906149

3) Extract the ROM.zip from the Arabic ROM by following instructions from this thread (once you get the ROM.zip file, ignore the rest of the instructions: DO NOT FLASH THE ROM.zip FILE): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841890

4) Extract from the ROM.zip the following files: System.img, Boot.img, Userdata.img. You can use Radio.img aswell if you want to (I already had the required version so didn't need to flash again)

5) Follow instructions in the Android ROM Manager thread to flash these .img files - basically, just copy all the .img files from step 4 into the ROM.zip file found with Android ROM Manager (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906149)

6) Once flashed, you have the arabic ROM working! S-OFF untouched (both ENG HBOOT S-OFF and Radio S-OFF), Bootloader (HBOOT) untouched, Recovery untouched, SD Card untouched.

7) To root this ROM, install the patched Visonary .apk from this link: http://goo.gl/31N21 (Thanks to PapaDocta for patching the Superuser)

8) If you are done with the arabic ROM, you can use Nandroid (from ClockworkMod Recovery) to restore your backup. I used Full-Wipe 1.3 before restoring my Nandroid Backup
[Desire HD Android Development] Hakimy:
are you saying that after you flashed this rom,your phone was still rooted with eng s-off and radio s-off? :)

in other words,this rom can be rooted just like 1.32? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] LeeDroid:
Il be looking into this ASAP, sure I can extract the files needed to make a fully working "arabic patch" ;)

Sent from my LeeDrOiD loaded HTC Desire HD using my thumb....
[Desire HD Android Development] prank1:
No, root is part of the ROM so when you flash a new stock ROM you need to do root all over again.

I was able to do temp root and perm root, but I sometimes got SU Force Close error. I didn't really test it much, I only wanted to get screenshots to show you guys the arabic interface

Everything else outside the ROM (ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF, Recovery, HBOOT) remain as they are, untouched.

Thats great, cheers mate.
[Desire HD Android Development] triaqu:
does this rom support chinese?
[Desire HD Android Development] abdullah1985:
yes please, thank you very much we will be waiting for you release :)
[Desire HD Android Development] lpachuong:
Sorry I just moved to HD and I don't know what is the different between Eng-S-off and Root? Thank you
[Desire HD Android Development] cturbos:
lee

i had s-off.rooted,the whole thing but when i updated my HD every thing was lost,now it has s-on.how can i root my device again and have s-off?

thank you
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do you mean that you flashed this RUU? Pff, someone should really add some warnings not to flash any RUU that people get their hands on..

You can follow my downgrade guide and hope for the best.
[Desire HD Android Development] Hakimy:
the thing is,some people updated and didn't lose anything while others lost their root so I'm not sure what's the problem :p
[Desire HD Android Development] prank1:
If you want to flash this RUU safely then follow the method I have written in the first page! The method I described is different to flashing the RUU normally.

If you flash the RUU normally, you will LOSE EVERYTHING (I don't know about Radio S-OFF though), ENG S-OFF, ClockworkMod Recovery, Root, etc. You may be unable to downgrade (no one has done this yet).

If you flash the ROM using my method, you will only lose Root (you will have to root the rom again yourself afterwards), but you'll keep ENG/Radio S-OFF, Clockworkmod Recovery, etc

Whenever you flash a new stock ROM, it will ALWAYS be Unrooted. The only pre-rooted ROMs are custom ROMs. This arabic ROM is a stock ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] cturbos:
so i`ll have to wait for r15 i guess.
[Desire HD Android Development] prank1:
Not really, LeeDroid kindly offered to make an arabic patch, so I guess you could just flash a custom pre-rooted ROM then install the arabic patch ontop. After all, its only the arabic interface (menus, fonts, keyboards, etc) we want from this ROM, we don't want the rest of the ROM since we have better custom ROMs to put on our devices ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] PapaDocta:
@prank1

thanks for the steps.. i used them and created rom.zip file which holds radio.img, system.img, boot.img and userdata.img .....

here is the file with the moded rom.zip instead of downloading the ARM2 and changing the files manually :)

http://goo.gl/euoC1

also i modded visionary r14 to include the superuser fix so when rooting this rom you won't get force closes all the time

here it is

http://goo.gl/31N21

this ROM is rootable.. I have it installed and rooted :)
[Desire HD Android Development] kill4l:
looking forward for the patch :) it's will be great news :)

thanks in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] prank1:
Thanks for the patch, although I don't understand what you mean by downloading ARM2? Not that it matters, just a little curious.
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
can we get a mirror on this ruu?
[Desire HD Android Development] prank1:
No, it supports English and Arabic only... which is what you'd expect from an arabic ROM. Chinese is supported on WWE ROMs.
[Desire HD Android Development] PapaDocta:
i meant downloading Android ROM Manager 2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906149 ...

so instead of downloading the official rom and the ARM2 .. i combined them in one file :)

so when following your steps you can skip the extraction of the official rom and replacing the files in the Android ROM Manager ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] madahab:
can you give me the Rom files......i want to add the full arabic for my N1 Desire HD rom and the original arabic keyboard

Is there a way to check the versions from those apks in that zip??
[Desire HD Android Development] PapaDocta:
i have no idea how to check them.. but the version # should be in the AndroidManifest.xml ...
[Desire HD Android Development] onesolo:
And do you now if its safe to just install each apk individually ??

I did looked on an earlier zip that contained all the apk from 1.32, and found out that those apk where much larger than these ones ripped from this rom...

Anyone has a clue why?

@ papadocta

sent you a pm

check it out plz!

on the issue here at hand

I am running Desire Bravo rooted S-offed with CMW

I ran this ROM

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861690

Android 2.2.1

build 1.72.405.3

base 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17

it was supposed to be able to support arabic by this link

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10356369&postcount=40

using this file:

Arabic_DHD_2.2.1_Mohnnad_FIX_Browser_RTL

and although it adviced that there will be a black screen on rebooting for 2 mins, however I spent more than 15mins on this black screen

So naturally I panicked and had to pull out the battery and run my cmw restore which thankfully worked

So, any help???

Meaning how to have arabic support for my rom?

Only to read / write/ keyboard arabic?

Thanks all

PapaDocta ...

Good to see you still shinin as always!!! ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] PapaDocta:
@docnasef

hi there bro :)

you are in the wrong section bro.. this is htc desire hd (ace) not bravo.. and that's why the Arabic files you installed didn't work because they are designed for the Ace and not Bravo :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Do you have an Arabic phone, or SuperCID via gfree ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rdewa:
actually it's new phone so i don't know exactly but i don't have superCID or gfree .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
By default, your phone will only let you install ROMs that were designed for that particular sub-model, e.g. on an Arabic market phone then only Arabic ROMs. It is the "CID" of your phone that identifies it.

So this may well be what's happening here. See the Wiki on how to use gfree to unlock your phone and get "SuperCID", which will allow your phone to accept ROMs designed for all possible CIDs of the Vision.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rdewa:
which means there isn't any way ...

by the way how will i know that my phone is arabic or from any other region ?

thanks bro :(

anybody have a clue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I have a feeling it's a typo in the build.prop. We've been working off this build since it came out and it's a step forward from 1.72,, so I can't imagine HTC went backwards.
