The jumping sms screen is also gone on my device
[G2 and Desire Z General] maus010:
After reading the replies I'm holding on to version 1.72.

1.82 a minor update that improves camera function (witch I hardly use) and system performance. I'm not going to lose root again for that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NoFatePPC:
i had 1.72 stock , rooted my device went back to 1.32 , then upgraded with the rooted version 1.82 somewhere in this forum...

i have 1.82 rooted now , dont have the sms bug anymore, battery life is not that good i think...
[G2 and Desire Z General] warddijk:
It fixes some bugs like the SMS bug, and the gallery bug.

And it updates HTC Hub.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ollyhw45:
I haven't received this update? I check the software update button and it don't seem to find anything?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnemoch:
anyone with root tried?

I'd like to flash for that gallery fix but I need root for marketenabler...anyone with root brave enough to try and see what happens?

@snudel I got the update on my dz. perhaps, a restart of your phone will help. I dont recognice any change yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mistm:
Gmail changed long time ago :-) as well as youtube app... just check updates on market more often.

Overall this update fixed lot of bugs and as i could notice improved battery life little bit. Phone reacts snappier and i consider this as one of good updates.
[G2 and Desire Z General] frabiacca:
that's true

do u have the bugfix list or a changelog link?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Daxal:

Ive actually noticed a quite big change in battery life, my seems to drain battery way faster... and the gmail app have changed (haven't checked youtube yet).

Anyone know if there is a way to remove the update ?

hey guys i am from india

just received the update its 1.82.720.1, but i am unable to install i just get a triangle with an exclamation mark and when i try manually with crw i get signature does not match error. I am rooted with s-off using gfree method.

I do not care for root any thoughts on how to apply update and is 1.82.405.1 same as 1.82.720.1, my guess is that the no after 1.82 is for the region.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mister.knister:
It´s exactly the same here. Phone ist rooted an S-off, Clockwork Mod ist installed.

after applying the update the phone reboots and there is the triangle with an exclamation mark and the message with the signature that does not match.

Reboot an the phone starts normal (thank god). Any Idea how to get the update installed ?

Hi,

I have a UK Simfree Desire Z... stock rom (not rooted) and no OTA is available.

I'll wait for the OTA upgrade to become available.

Cheers,

Would not say it has impacted batterylife that much.

Or atleast not in a negative way.

Now standing @ 9% battery life

Wifi has been enabled all the time, same as bluetooth watch been connected.

Have been making a few calls. surfing the net, playing games etc..
[G2 and Desire Z General] alexinc:
screen is still jumping on text-messaging... :(

batterylife is the same for me - keep in mind, that it most likely needs to get re-calibrated after installing an update! so it takes some days and cycles till it reaches its full capacity again...
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
I'm wondering if this elusive update will ever make over here to the UK.

For the jumping text-messaging issue, personally I found the problem worse with third-party software keyboards. If you're using one and can live without it, you could try changing back to the stock HTC one and seeing if that helps...

As always, I'm waiting patiently for the update to reach here... :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
Any chance you could upload the file for non-rooted users please? Cheers!

[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
Just a quick note for us in the UK - I saw this in another thread:

I assume the version number has a typo in it and actually means "1.83.415.2". If that's the case, it's a little odd that HTC might release another version in the UK compared to the rest of Europe.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ollyhw45:

If I've read it right, as its an official RUU there is no need for root, s-off etc. Is it going to break an OTA to Gingerbread in the future?

I cant help but think they've given up on the 1.82 release as Gingerbread is rumoured to be Q2 2011 for the DZ and will be much more significant.

If you go for the RUU above, let us all know how it works.

[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
Manual update fine

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision

Get the rom from here - it installs fine on a non-rooted phone. It will wipe your settings and stuff so make sure to back up first.

To be honest, I can't tell much difference. The annoying thing with the photos disappearing from gallery still happens, as does the scrolling problem with SMS. Might be worth waiting until 2.3.
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
Thanks for the feedback! Based on what you've reported, I think I'll wait until the official Gingerbread update.

I'm putting up with the gallery bug by using a free app from the Market called 'Rescan Media' - it just forces Android to scan for files which it normally does after a reset. As for the SMS, sadly I've decided to swap the built-in HTC app with Go SMS Pro (also free from the Market). This neatly bypasses both the missed notifications and the scroll-jumping issue that the HTC app has on my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
How about notifying SMS? Thats the only thing that really annoys me about 1.72.

Thanks

On the Stock UK Desire Z 1.72.405.2 ROM I have 2 issues.

1) Phone notifies that there is a text message.. Enter the messaging app and read message. App indicates message is read but doesn't clear the notification. Notification can be cleared manually after.

2) Phone sometimes receives a message but doesn't notify at all, not even green bubble on messaging app. Once I enter the messaging app, it shows the green bubble on the thread and text is bold and I realise I have a message. Still doesn't notify. VERY annoying.

I've had 1 OTA (1.34 to 1.72) which went fine but its been happening since. I have tried clearing data from the messaging app but it still appears. I haven't tried a hard reset but that may be the solution. I will be very annoyed if it still happens in Gingerbread.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscdougal:
as the title suggests i was wondering if the xperia x10 could be used as a wireless adapter to connect my non wireless pc to my home wireless network.

I already use pdanet but i'm having to lower my contract and will probably loose my unlimited internet ( I was one of the last to get it before O2 changed there terms) and this will cost way to much

edit: i am currently running freex10 beta 3 if that is of any use to know
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
Pdanet supports wifi access point only via USB. So you could connect to it with the client installed and your usb cable.

Barnacle which does wifi hotspot but doesn't allow regular wifi running at the same time. Data must come from the data services on your carrier.

The native android wifi hotspot function requires an update to the kernel which we cannot have until the bootloader is cracked.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compumasta:
I too am curious about this. I don't need to be using the wifi in and out at the same time just be pulling wifi and outputting use of it through USB. If you already answered a way to do this then please point to the program to use.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
PDANet does this, you put the app on the phone, and a client app on the PC and it can use either Wifi or Edge/GSM/HSUPA. This is a mature app and it is sold for all platforms, iOS, Blackberry, Palm, Windows Mobile and Android. it claims to handle speeds up to 35mb. Normally it's $24. It's on sale for $16. The 'free' version has no exclusions except it won't connect to secure web sites. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pdanet

EasyTether Lite can also be connected as a wifi ap. It's $9.99 and there is a trial version

Are you interested in making or editing a CHT widget? To make a widget for Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0 is not such a difficult job as you may think, I tell you by experience. I have no previous formation in programs or informatic code but i could make a few widgets(*) and I would like to share this experience with you. This is not so altruistic work, I am expecting a huge amount of widgets made by all of you to install and enjoy in my brand-repaired HD2 :)

Co0kie Master has allready published a guide for making a CHT widget (it is into the widgets kitchen); also Genius_Rat_2665 has made a tutorial for making a cht clock widget, so -the third time lucky- lets bring here all that knowledge and try to make a simple widget step-by-step. Also this could be a good place to share and learn each other some code for widgets. Things like how to make an blinking element, how to change number in text, how to read from the registry, etc.

(*) What is for sure is that no one widget I could ever do without the help of others. Lets start quoting the existing Co0kie's guide:

If you have reached here I recomend you re-read Co0kie's guide, is short but it contains a lot of information, i would say every word is important!

So now the first trial:

1.- Install the kitchen: Every widget has its own kitchen, I have attached a kitchen for a very simple widget. Just download in your PC and copy all the files & folders in a separate folder (\CHTwidgets\PoyTEST\) same as they are inside the .rar

Now connect your PC and your device via USB and sinchronize. Then run the file z_init.bat - You need to run this one before starting. You just need to run it only one time. It will copy restartmanila.exe to you device.

2.- Put your device in DevMode: Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHTI.AddonWidgets.DevMode and change to DWORD =1 (create if does not exit). Now restart Sense.

3.- Run the file _Deploy_to_device_in_dev_mode.bat. Your device will automatically restart Sense. Then go to Edit Mode - Add new element - Select PoyTEST - done. You should see now the simple widget in your device's screen.

It will continue ....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] poyensa:
SENSE CRASHED? NO PANIC

It is normal to crash sense when you are doing some experiments, but it normally get solved just deleting files 30182CB6_manila & 7D241726_manila in \windows folder\ and/or dissabling DevMode in registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHTI.AddonWidgets.DevMode = 0

Thanks for your efforts to get this going Poyensa.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Excellent thread, hope to try out the tutorial at some point.

At the moment interested in the toggle switches and how to make them, since it's not covered anywhere.

I've opened up rat_2665's toggle switch cab (hopefully that is ok - it is a good example).

The two key files are:

CHT_switch_DevMode.png

CHTlua_manila

The lua code is as follows:

Co0kieSwitchLink("DevMode Switch", "\\Windows\\CHT_switch_DevMode.png", _application.Store:GetValueChangedEvent(Lifetime_Permanent, "CHTI.AddonWidgets.DevMode"), function(l_1_0)
if _application.Store:GetIntValue(Lifetime_Permanent, "CHTI.AddonWidgets.DevMode") == 0 then
_application.Store:SetIntValue(Lifetime_Permanent, "CHTI.AddonWidgets.DevMode", 1)
else
_application.Store:SetIntValue(Lifetime_Permanent, "CHTI.AddonWidgets.DevMode", 0)
end
end
, function(l_2_0)
if _application.Store:GetIntValue(Lifetime_Permanent, "CHTI.AddonWidgets.DevMode") == 0 then
return false
else
return true
end
end
)

From the above you can identify:

The switch title - "DevMode Switch"

The graphic - "\\Windows\\CHT_switch_DevMode.png"

Trigger - _application.Store:GetValueChangedEvent(Lifetime_Permanent, "CHTI.AddonWidgets.DevMode")

Action - function(l_1_0)

Switch position - function(l_2_0)

The setup.dll in the cab, sorts out the install side (as mentioned in the other posts).

Anyone know what lua file is the wifi switch? Or what regkey it monitors? Thanks.

Sorry if this info is written somewhere else, but I've not been able to find it so far.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ai6908:
I would like to know that as well.:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rat_2665:
The wifi switch is in the Co0kieLink.lua file

Co0kieSwitchLink("[[IDS_WIFI_TOGGLE]]", "\\Windows\\CHT_switch_wifi.png", machineStatus.WifiOn.OnValueChanged
,function()
JMLComm("wifi")
end
,function()
return machineStatus.WifiOn.Value

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dunc001:
You beat me to it! BTW, Meltwater in the house - we are honoured ;)

Making new links is actually way easier than making new widgets because there are only very small scripts involved and no mode9. You can either make new links to add in to the existing link sets (Miscellaneous, Toggles, etc) which is really straightforward, or you can create entirely new link sets. I have done both, adding new DatePicker and All People links into the Misc group, and making the new Page Switch Link set. Making a new set is also pretty straightforward although you also have to define the class and function, but most importantly each new set of links must have a unique link ID. This ID needs to be chosen and then notified to the CHT dev group in the Widgets discussion. If you don't have access to it then ask here and we'll provide you with one and feed it back to the dev group.

I can't remember what's in the kitchen Poy just linked to so I have attached my three kitchens below, along with a zip containing the CHT_quicklinks and freelinks luas and one of MichelDiamond's scripts for some of the links he added in for CHTS.

Again, any questions you have keep asking. We're waiting to see what amazing new stuff you come up with...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Thanks guys. I did look at this when it was released, but found it difficult to get started with it.

That was my theory, make a few switches and get used to the plugins. Thought I could make some custom ones for switching on an in-car mode and various other things (switching into development modes for debugging the tabs would be handy too).

Obviously there is potential for using the stuff I've got for an improved RSSWidget and FbWidget but I'm still working out how to create stuff from scratch (but I am getting there).

Would be interesting to make a widget which displays set text items (perhaps a graphic too) from the registry, with callbacks to an app if pressed. That would be enough for a .net program to tie into, this is the basis of the RSSTab. Such a general widget could be used for a lot of things.

By the way, if you want to use some wiki space, feel free to carve out a chunk!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dunc001:
Have you got the CHT RSS widget kitchen? I'll upload it if not. If you could make a widget template for an updated rss widget or Facebook/Twitter widget to look/function in a similar way to the Android sense widgets that would be fantastic. Scrollable, with channel icon/Facebook pic beside each item, and also showing update time. Core CHT tasks and contacts widgets are already scrollable so all the necessary code should be available to copy/adapt. Let us know what you need any help with.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I think I'll get my feet wet by doing some toggle switches first.

At the moment don't have the time to do the full widgets yet, got plenty that needs doing on the tab itself, but it would be great to get it all to tie in.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] poyensa:
Well, the basics are done. If you miss something let us know. We also will try to bring here some tricks, fixes, mods, etc. And of course the answers for all your questions, excepting the date for next CHT update! :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kalhimeo:
I totally agree with you.

I am monitoring this thread since its creation and I plan to investigate it when I will have more free time next week.

My goal: modify the RSSWidget to display feed informations from Google Reader (via the "Speeed Reader" application and probably a mortscript to parse the .xml and update registry).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Well I hope to integrate Google Reader into the RSSTab at some point.
