So far...

Hi Guys,
JUst sharing my experiences with Jasjar of one month usage...obvious without 3G...
1) The Phone is beauty.If one does not face any problems, no need to upgrade to the new ROM.If one wants to remove Arabizer, just hard reset and do not install the extended ROM.Also one can uninstall the imaginet files later.
2) Once can use McDeb THeme maker and themes(VGA) for the additional themes.THose really look a lot Cooool
3) Do not use SPB Pocket Plus.Use iLauncher instead.It just works perfectly.Core PLayer workes like charm.Handy swithcer works.Resco 2005 esplorer also works gr8.Once can alsoi use Pocket Informant for PIM utility.True Fax also works.
Will tell more later...I hope this helps to the Universal community..
Cheers

How does one avoid installing extended rom?
Hello Hdubli,
a) How do you avoid installing extended rom? Do I just do it by soft resetting before extended rom is loaded after hard reset?
b) Is it possible afterwards to selectively install some of the cab files from the extended rom?
c) Can I remove cab files from the extended rom that I do not need?
Thanks,

apap
a, yes, b,yes, c,not yet

I forgot to inform that JASJAR also works flawlessly as a Wireless Modem on BT and on USB...

O2 Plus V2.3 available?

I tried to register at ce4arab.com to download O2 Plus V2.3.
Is there anybody that can download it for me? Since my Arab is very bad
I think I did manage to register but even with online translation tools I wasn't able to download the file.
Here is the link:
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=67549
Thanks in advance!

here u go man

sorry,this is the file

Thanks, also found it in the Atom section. Is yours a "universal" version?
Havn't been able to find a patch for this one.
There's only a patch available for O2 Plus 2.0.

Im not sure,I downloaded it from the link that u gave me.
BTW,whats ur device?

I own an HTC Wizard and an HTC Prophet.
When I try to install the program it tells me that I there has to be a program called "connect" on my device. Older versions also had this message, but there was a patch to work around this.
I will see if I'm able to solve this problem

hope u'll be able to solve it.
i want to ask u a question,did u manage to put the o2 media plus software on ur prophet?

I havn't tried O2 Media Plus, but I will have a look for you to see if I can get it and make it work on the HTC Prophet

thanks in advance,i'll look in ce4arab,maybe they cooked something like this

found one!!
this one worked for my prophet(qteq rom),here u go

Great find! Will try this later on

So is there a working version for the Wizard?

It will work on HTC himalaya?

dont know
i really dont know if it will work on the himalaya,like i said i've tryed it on my prophet with the new qteq rom

The file "\Storage Card\soft\o2plus2.3.cab"is not a valid Windows CE setup file.

You should run this on PPC not on your PC. Just click that file on PPC and install on main memory.

Please tell me if this will work on the Wizard.

Why should someone offer himself for your curiosity?
Yes it works on the Wizard/Prophet

Does anyone feel like making some individual cabs for each or some of the plugins?
I know Last Call and I think Calendar have been done before, but what about Battery/Card/Memory, etc?
Saves space and is more convenient.

Himalaya Linux - the usual question

hi guys
first off...sorry for posting the usual question...its been done to death
i have been out of the xda-dev site for a while and have lost track of things.
i always hoped himalaya linux would get done.... but from what i can see its still lacking the key components (eg phone support under gpe).
i am a uni student on placement at a company that actually writes mobile phone radio stacks...so i am learning embedded c and about the interesting side of the hardware/software interface.... now i want to actually do something about this lack of a fully usable phone.
my questions go as follows..
1> what is the current stage of himalaya linux ... i have a feeling the wiki's are probably out of date
2> is anyone actually still working on it
3> i know only a little about haret i get the idea it is also able to watch hardware (and isnt just a bootloader)...where can i find docs about using it to do this.
4> was jtag ever found on the himalaya
5> of the code in the tree what files are specific to the himalaya
i have much to learn on writing drivers etc for linux...and alot to learn about embedded c, reverse engineering etc....ok so i have a hell of a lot to learn....but i'm willing to try! (i also have 3 himalayas (1 has a bust screen) so plenty of tinkering can be done)
any other tidbits of information would also be appreciated
i think my basic goal would be the phone working.
after that get the other little bits and pieces
get the backpack cf working
get sdio and wireless working.
but these are the kind of goals that will take a long time so we'll see
i'd also love to work on the UI one day.. GPE and OPIE just dont toot my horn enough yet.
thanks
Tim

It is out of date, but some parts are in a good shape.
2> is anyone actually still working on it
Click to expand...

Yes, because it has many common hardware and features with blueangel.
The kernel source is not being fixed, because it is decided to make blueangel
work first, and then reuse and adapt the cleaned code for himalaya.
3> i know only a little about haret i get the idea it is also able to watch hardware (and isnt just a bootloader)...where can i find docs about using it to do this.

There are no "real" docs, only the source code. Many pxa27x functions are
implemented in haret, that either work or need minor changes for pxa26x.

Blueangel is the authoritative source.

AFAIK, the phone works. But not with the latest 2.6.18-hh0 kernel.
This one has a lot of audio problems anyway, so it's not a major concern right now.
get the backpack cf working

It's a bit challenging. The backpack is implemented in so-called ASIC5,
and there are no docs for it.
get sdio and wireless working.

You mean SDIO wifi card ?
The SDIO host can be done relatively easy, but good luck with the wifi part
I know 2 of them, one with the TI acx100 (should be doable, because
there is linux acx100 driver), another needs the firmware upload in Motorola
SREC format, maybe even prism2.
And there is no free software SDIO for linux, you need to do some heavy RE.

Hello guys,
I have got Himalaya and I would like to help with implementation of some driver/software that is needed.
So I have got a few questions (some of them are similar to tim_programmer's, but I don't know if there are not outdated):
1. Where is the current branch with Himalaya specific code?
I have found:
- K2-6-12-hh2-xda0-ba0 (http://xanadux.cvs.sourceforge.net/xanadux/linux-2.6-xda/) and
- K2-6-21-hh20 (http://handhelds.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/linux/kernel26/)
Is himalaya specific code that is in K2-6-12-hh2-xda0-ba0 already included in K2-6-21-hh20?
Or what differences are between these branches?
2. Is somewhere available (SD card/NFS) image with kernel+initrd+GPE that is already running on Himalaya?
I have found:
- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaLinuxBooting
It boots, but freezes during boot (after some changes in initrd it was possible to connect to the MDA with SSH via USB bus)
- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaStandaloneGPEWithoutSD
Link to GPE is dead.
- http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Himalaya
There are screenshots of GPE so it should be working image somewhere.
3. Is it posssible to boot some BlueAngel "distribution" on Himalaya? (Possibly with a little changes?)
I have found:
- http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelHowtoInstallLinux
Could it be used on Himalaya?
4. What is the current state of Himalaya support in Linux? What is already done and what not (or partially)?
I have found:
- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaToDo
But there is not mentioned of what branch state it is.
5. Is any other bootloader than HaRET with that is possible to boot to Linux directly from SD card without Windows booting?
I have found:
- bootldr (http://xanadux.cvs.sourceforge.net/xanadux/linux-2.6-xda/bootldr/)
What is it?
A lot of information about Himalaya development is outdated and I don't know where to start :-( So any help is welcome
Thanks

What kernel have you tried? What was the last message on display? Some old HaRET versions (e.g. 0.3.6) have a problem with big kernel and boot fails on mounting root fs. So try the newest HaRET 0.5.1 that goes fine.

Thankxxx alot..u are rite i have 0.3.6
here is what i have :
haret-0.5.1.exe
initrd-2.6.12.gz
modules-2.6.12.tgz
zImage-2.6.12
are these all latest

For kernel 2.6.12, follow How To Compile 4 Himalaya instructions. It works, I have tried it yesterday ;-)

Thanks alot..thankfully i have Ubuntu so compling is no big
i will contact u for more assistance

Buy the "softick card export" or use the free "wm5storage".
Usb to pc has compatibility driver issues on polaris ....just.. ignore it

I had this problem and wm5 storage v1.8 has this working great now!

hI,
can you post the cab file ? thx....

no slution at all for this problem with polaris

I don't remeber exactly but there is only one ROM exist with this programm working good. I think this is M-Amine 2.0 or shecar's rom

sorry guys, wm5torage only worked a few times with my polaris then it went back to normal. i installed v1.8 then stupidly decided to upgrade to the latest 1.92x.
So if you want to give 1.8 ago.. . it might work

or one of the 3LIT3 rom?
I have read that people frequently said to forget it due to driver compatibility, similar situation in Kaiser, Polaris as well as Niki. But it is only Sundream I believe who understand the secret of the recipe - he got it working on Niki wm6.5 rom

use card export ce2.dll + usb to PC is ok...

can you please post this dll here and write a little tutorial how do this?

http://www.darkforcesteam.com.cn/thread-497-1-1.html

Interesting link, but it could do with some english explanation.

this is also of my interest. i'm almost sure I saw it working on my polaris...

[Q] Android USB Drivers

Hey guys and girls!
I'm currently getting into android development and i need a shell on my pc for testing, i planed to do it using adb.
unfortunately adb doesn't recognize my android htc touch hd (running neopeek),
so i need these drivers:
"CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)"
"CDC ACM Data"
and "XDA"
in the FAQ you state that debugging is possible over usb.
to cut things short:
can anyone give me a hint where i can find those drivers without downloading demo versions or cracked crap?
thanks!

Hi. I have the same on my Blackstone and Android. Any solution?

Android USB drivers
All users who have HTC HD aka Blackstone,have the same problem with USB Driver.
I look for two days and nothing found,maybe someone will find these drivers,
and share with as, I HOPE THAT !

You guys know Android is Google, right?
The Google USB driver is a downloadable component for Windows developers, available for download from the AVD and SDK Manager.

If you install the Google USB Driver are you be able to have access to the SD Card or is it only for USB Debug?

Yes, unfortunately -
The Google USB Driver is only for Android Developer Phones (ADP), Nexus One, and Nexus S. If you're using a different Android-powered device, then you need to get a USB driver from the device OEM.

Our Blackstone isn't one of them.
What you need is a driver from HTC.
I had the same problem when i got into developing for my blackstone.
You can find the driver here:
HTC Sync Drivers 32 Bit
HTC Sync Drivers 64 Bit
Works in Win7 and XP.
