[HTC Aria General] JCreazy:
I was going to claim the phone was lost and use this one as a backup
[HTC Aria General] jbizz:
Good luck with that, phones aren't that easy anymore. They can and will track the IMEI # on the phone the second that uses any bit of the network. Especially if you do a insurance claim for losing the phone.

Just replace it thru insurance and send the broke one back.

:)
[HTC Aria General] JCreazy:
The insurance company is making me jump through hoops to get a replacement, it might be easier to replace it myself
[EVO Shift 4G General] nbunn:
I was just wondering what all ros we can expect, ad what all developers pla to support the shift? We have CM6 and 7, as well as MIUI and evervolv, will there be anymore? Post what you know
[EVO Shift 4G General] oboroninja:
No one knows what to expect because no one can predict the future here. More than likely you'll have the usual group of sense based roms that are all very similar in funtionality and look, then you'll have all of the AOSP roms that are all the same without 4G more than likely(maybe CM6 will have it once they get everything sorted out). And of course you'll have the obscure roms like MIUI, maybe a Meizu port ect.

NfiniteX is coming over from the Hero this month. He tends to put some nice Sense ROM's together.

[EVO Shift 4G General] Aaargh!:
First time rooting a phone and thus am interested and confused about the possibilty of using a new rom. What are usually the differences between them all? Do they still all allow all basic features of the phone to work? Thanks for all the help with rooting and other questions.
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyf27:
Once they get the bugs ironed out they all should allow the basic features of the phone to work. Not sure about 4G as this is my first 4G phone, but you'll have everything else in due time. Camera, bluetooth, gps, wifi, etc. they'll all get working at some point. Right now those are the main issues with the roms that are currently out. Although one has no backlight on the keyboard which to me makes it unusable as I'm always using that keyboard.

Some roms are just stock Android, others have additional features that are useful and nifty. If you even give CM6 (that's already in the dev forum) a try, you'll notice a lot of features that aren't in the stock sense version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joschmoblo:
Just realized I put this in the wrong spot. Can someone please move this to the right forum category? Thank you!

I hope this is the right spot for this. I've search and so far not found the answer I am hoping to find.

I have a series of GPS devices (Trimble) with Windows Mobile 6.1 on them that I'm setting up for our field crews. I'm in the process of setting them up to be universal in the settings so anyone can grab and use any device without trying to figure out where everything is again.

Is there a way that I can lock down these devices where the field guys can't go back behind me, once I've made them universal, and change everything around? Or do you all have any suggestions on things that may help me with this? I'm thinking along the lines from wallpapers and customizations and even down to changing owner information. I'd just like to keep these similar and not let them get out of control and messy, if you know what I mean.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The above graphic was made with the release version of Spla****!​

Hello there, this is my first post in this bit of the forums as I don't regularly dive into this sort of project. I recently created a splash screen for HCDRJacob based upon the htc quietly brilliant screen and it gave me an idea, make a generator!

You can choose the resolution, the text and the colors.. The next version will have a hex input for the text color. The resulting .img file it spits out can be flashed through fastboot but that is not really related to this itself. The resulting files will be hosted for an unspecified amount of time (Ostebaronen is hosting it so I really don't know) so don't link directly to them.

Here are some examples of splashes made with the generator.

Please, comments below, thankyou.

Thanks to Ostebaronen for hosting this and anyone who tested the earlier results.​

Hey, I've been looking for something like that, is there a link???

Thankk u

Please post your results :)
[Android Themes] UMID1993:
Lol yeah I double checked to see if I missed it.

Sure thing, thanks bro

[Android Themes] nikson346:
N00bish question here- when i flash it whatt exact data (and from where) does it replace. eg.bootloader/radio/bootimg
[Android Themes] bpye:
It will replace the very first splash screen you see :). Take note also that you need fastboot in hboot of your phone.
[Android Themes] diegov600:
You will need to have S-off, right?
[Android Themes] nickislauw:
hahha nice tool man:P

you can create very funny things with it :P

thanks!

"C:\SDK\tools>fastboot flash splash1 1296755019-flash.img

sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY [ 0.121s]

writing 'splash1'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 0.289s"

this is what i'm getting.... i think it may be because i have a nexus one...read that somewhrere...but yeah some insight?
[Android Themes] roar109:
Excellent thanks i make one to test, but...

sorry for noob question how can i put it on mi evo?

I see a how-to but with zip file, but this method launch img file.
[Android Themes] bpye:
roar109: This is a different splash, this is splash1, wheras the zip is the bootanimation.

IceNova: follow this link to root your nexus one, this should enable fastboot, http://theunlockr.com/2010/01/02/how-to-root-the-nexus-one/

diegov600: Yeah you need S-OFF for the fastboot flash splash1 command
[Android Themes] dietotherhythm:
Just wanted to say it worked great!!

Thanks for the awesome splash creator!

Now time to attempt some troubleshooting...

Now assuming you have root and all that, is your 1296755019-flash.img file in the same directory? Try renaming it to something a little smaller like splash.img, then once in the tools directory, just do "fastboot flash splash1 splash.img" That's exactly what I did and it worked first try for me. Hope you get it resolved.

Use fastboot method as explained aboved. Boot your phone into hboot mode (The screen that tells you your radio and that junk) then on your pc, navigate to your android sdk's tool folder using command line and follow the previously stated steps to fastboot flash the img file. :D
[Android Themes] GamerGuy80:
is there a way of flashing this using like root explorer, or using terminal emulator on the phone. im only asking because i dont always carry my usb cable with me and 90% of the time im using dropbox to transfer files to my phone and no need to always have the usb.
[Android Themes] bpye:
Not that I know of no, sorry.
[Android Themes] CTR01:
Good job!

Trying this now and just downloaded my boot screen...super easy and kinda fun lol...now when i have more time gunna put it on the phone!

update: have more time now so putting it on the phone but...

having troubles : (...i have the .img file in the platform-tools folder with all the correct filepath etc...but the type "fastboot flash splash1 my#-flash.img" and get the following error:

"fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

sorry im new to all this hacking/software stuff...more of hardware fan myself lol
[Android Themes] bpye:
Lol thanks :).

@ above: Fastboot is at C:\android-sdk-windows\tools by default.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbL420:
I perma rooted my shift here, and installed ROM Manager. I wanted to backup my current stock rom+root just incase I f#*k something up, under flash recovery image i selected htc evo (cdma) (evo shift is not listed) it says successful but when i click backup current rom, it turns off and is stuck on htc screen...any suggestion??

by the way, i have busybox v1.17.1, updated via busybox app from market.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
I don't think RM is supported on the shift yet...

OMG, Just read what you wrote. Um, you installed an evo recovery on your shift? That's not good.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grunge315:
ROM manager, and more importantly ClockworkMod are not yet supported on our device...

There are some versions that "work" -- I say that because they have issues, but have some functionality.

You need to flash your recovery manually with the one from the perma-root thread, using those steps.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbL420:
Is it possible to flash it manually now, after I did it for evo..or start from stock rom again?

sent frm perma rooted evo shi(f)t via XDA app
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StAlphonso:
If you can boot to recovery I'd recommend running the stock ruu from your computer...that should fix the problem but know it will wipe all data and return you to out of the box stock...you can find it in the development section in the perm root/recovery/stock ruu thread (or something like that not sure exactly what the thread is called)

Edit: ha sorry thats what its called on the android central forum...you can find it still in the development section as speedy ruu
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbL420:
Lol yeaa I have the ruu saved on my pc, question: after I install stock rom can I restore my sys data/apps (minus clockwork) without having problems? (Using titanium backup)

Also I dunno if anyone else is having problems with mobile data but once in a while I have to reboot to get 3g back.

sent frm perma rooted evo shi(f)t via XDA app
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StAlphonso:
i think you would probably have to root again since not sure you would be able to even access sys data/app without root but not 100% about that and i dont imagine it causing any trouble as long as you get rid of clockwork but again im really not sure at all so i dont wanna say with any certainty.....also i havent had any problems with mobile data so far

[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.

I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.

*NOT on wifi but WIFI

i was watching it too and was extremely jealous. i NEED a honeycomb tablet now!
[Vibrant General] Blown 89:
Awesome! I just browsed Gun Bros on the market, watched the Youtube video on it, and installed it without ever taking my phone out of my pocket.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Hmm... I just got back to my pc and tried to install. I am on Flagship and it didnt give me a notification, and its not showing under My Apps.... maybe the developers need to modify the build.prop?
[Vibrant General] MWBehr:
Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.

Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefftab11:
Is there an app like Titanium Backup for a non-rooted SNS? Do I really need to backup if I don't root the phone? I would like to backup before I start the playing (sorry for the newbie question but I am a recent convert from i****e 4).

Thanks in advance, Jeff
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
You can boot into Clockwork Recovery (with fastboot) and do a nandroid backup, all without flashing anything.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
If you have no intentions of rooting odds are you don't need a backup app. When you first set up your phone you can check the box that will backup with google and in the event you get a new phone all your apps will be there. Anything you purchase on the market will automatically backup to your account even if you don't check off the box. Welcome to Android, I'm sure you will enjoy your experience.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefftab11:
Thank icandy75 for the quick reply. Is that data (pics, contacts, bookmarks, etc.) and apps if I check the box? Is the backup encrypted or passworded? BTW I am currently using a Samsung Intercept for the last 5 weeks with 2.1 and temporary root so I really like Titanium Backup to wipe data and being able to reverse things. Can the backup to Google do anything like that, I am suspecting not.

P.S. So far the experience has been wonderful even after using iPhones for 3.5 years.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefftab11:
Thanks for the quick reply. I assume these are not as robust and flexible as Titanium Backup. Is it inevitable that I will really just want to root to get better apps? Sorry but new to the wonderful world of Android. BTW I am only going to use the SNS via WiFi for now.

Thanks for the info., help and advice,

Jeff
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Pics are not backed up but you can back those up manually to you computer without root. Contacts are backed up to your Gmail account for easy access. It will also back up your wifi passwords but not your sms. There really is no reason not to root on this phone. It's very easy to do and reversible plus root gives you the ability to use a bunch of apps like TB. If you get into flashing roms I would suggest getting the paid version. It makes it a breeze to switch from one rom to next and gives you a few more options like dropbox sync and the ability to freeze apps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrroey:
use mybackup pro for backups if you dont have root.

backs up all sms, mms, android home, system settings, call logs, music playlists, bookmarks, dictionary, call logs, applications (doesnt back up the data/settings inside the app). lol am i missing something?

you can save the backups online or to your sd card
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Yeah, My Backup pro is the only other app that I know of that people liked for non-rooted devices.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takkun1946:
Clockwork Recovery Backup

I know this thread is about a month old, but...

I have to say, if you want to do any rooting or ROM flashing later the Clockwork Recovery backup is probably the better way to go.

It wasn't said earlier, but if you have adb and fastboot already installed/config'd on Ubuntu (but should be the same commands on Mac OSX - not sure about Win):

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot <path to recovery file>/recovery-clockwork-herring.img

I already unlocked my bootloader prior to this, so all the data I have has been wiped previously and I reloaded manually.

Vol Down to "backup and restore" and hit power button. First option is Backup. Just hit power button and let it do the backup. This may take a bit of time. The recovery is not perm and will be gone when you reboot.

The backup is stored on your "SD" partition under "clockworkmod/backup/[backup date]"

You should be able to use the same thing to restore at a later time if needed, selecting "restore" instead of the "backup" option.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
There is a app on the market called* backup everything*. I've never used it but description says works for non rooted phones.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Just to clarify commands, specifically for Mac OSX:

(These commands are assuming you've downloaded this file (http://www.mediafire.com/?qoz9f6e8fbx8zs0) and unzipped it to your desktop)

I'm having an issue with DL30 that I didn't have with any of the Eclair builds. I enable USB Debugging, and then later on in the day when I plug it in, I notice it has shut itself off.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is this just something with Froyo, a bug with DL30 or am I f'ing it up?
[Fascinate General] jfelectron:
Yes I'm experiencing this as well. Something called KiesUSBManager seems to be buggy but I can't figure out how to disable it. Are you using a Mac by chance?
[Fascinate General] yahsaves:
I am running on mac and I am having this problem with PDAnet. I get about 2-3 mins and then I get the boot. Thought it was just me.
[Fascinate General] jfelectron:
I'm an app developer and not having usb debugging available or constant was a serious problem so I had to abandon DL30 in favor of JT's AOSP, which is working pretty well now at least for my needs. I'd prefer DL30 style, but after all day searching I've found no solutions. It seems to be something a Mac user of the Galaxy Tab had with 2.2, so it might be some problem with whatever samsung kies service monitors the usb connection and how that communicates with the mac OS. OS X never tries to mount the SD card even once the USB debugging flips off, so I'm not sure what the problem is. This is the only place I've seen someone else complain about it, so I'm guessing most people are on PC's and don't have the issue or they don't use USB debugging so don't care or haven't noticed.
[EVO Shift 4G General] gbL420:
anyway to backup/save scenes to sdcard?

have root access
[Desire HD General] mythos8709:
My battery discharged while I was travelling - it went to <10% and shut off by itself. I left the original HTC microusb over seas and so I used my old Motorola microusb to try to charge the phone. After leaving it overnight a number of times I thought the battery was dead. I ordered a new battery (from Mugen) and tried to charge that.

All I get is a flashing orange/red light. The phone does not turn on.

I have tried charging on both the AC charger and via PC usb port.

Are all MicroUSB cables universal? I can't get a straight answer about this from HTC's customer support. Every time I call someone gives me a different answer which leads me to believe that they have no clue what they are talking about.

Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

The HTC AC charger is rated at 5V 1A, while my old Moto charger is rated at 5.1V 850mA. Could I get a charge by using slightly higher voltage with lower amperes?

I really would like to avoid sending it back to manufacturer warranty so if there is any other alternate route I can take please let me know.
[Desire HD General] leppie:
I have some cheap MicroUSB cables and they seem to charge very slowly compared to the HTC one. There may be a difference, but I suspect the cheap cables are just plain cheap.
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
No the Motorola charger wont have done it any harm, 0.1volt wont make a difference, and charging at a lower current is less likely to cause damage.
[Desire HD General] mythos8709:
Could I have damaged the phone by using a different companies' cable?

Is there a chance that the phone is FUBAR? Should I be able to turn it on if its plugged into a power source even if the battery is dead?
[Desire HD General] mythos8709:
please excuse the bump

need to know :(

*bump*
[Desire HD General] Syraxius:
I've actually tried all the different combinations of charging and they all seem to work fine

I've tried a cheap microUSB cable with the official charger, official microUSB cable with iPhone charger, cheap microUSB cable with PC, another cheap microUSB cable in my friend's car, and even a Nokia microUSB cable in all the mentioned combinations

They all just gave different current readings (from CurrentWidget) but in the end they all worked well. I'm not sure if a Motorola microUSB would have modifications that cause incompatibilities though
[Desire HD General] Maikell84:
I also tried different Micro-USB Cables and my DHD still works normally.
[Desire HD General] Neurosis:
me too have the same problem. I got a total of 3 diff USB cable. One give me 330mA, one give me 120mA and one gave me only 50mA. i do not mind spending the money if i know how to choose a USB cable which can give me 330mA everytime i charge. Anyone knows how to spot the correct ones?
[Desire HD General] Hypercore:
Any Blackberry USB cable should work..
[Desire HD General] arjunr24724:
used Motorola cable many times. No issues.

Might be a fluke that u busted ur phones charging system.
