The built in library, at some point i could update it and fetch new mp3 files on the sd card and similar.. But for the life of me, i cant find the function now... Im using a jf 1.51 version rooted dream.
Maybe i should state, that i have been able to do it before, where it updated itself, but for some reason it dosnt do it now when i enter the music library. And when i use the search i cant seem to find the thread that i used a good while back, its as if most of the stuff that used to be sticky isnt anymore..
Im just wondering if i could update the phones music library with a third party app such as the wikitunes or such. Since i after a wipe realised that there are no built in ringtones on the update i have from jf 1.51... So in order for me to even get stuff i have to figure out if the rom on the phone have gone sour and i just need to rewhipe and update with a fresh installation maybe..
Very interested in all of your input guys!
IIRC it automatically scans for new music. I could be wrong, though.

Yup, i think so too..
I think its solved now the issue, apparently something goofy happend to my dream, so i ended up having to format the sd card completly, and then repartion followed by whipe, reflash of the rom i use, and another whipe just to be sure!
Now its working automaticly, or if i use Tune Wiki to force the update.
I was going out of my mind cuz i couldnt understand why it happend! And when i posted it in dev as there might be an error with the jf 1.51 some goofball reported it apparently, in stead of takeing a second to ask or do anything.. Who knows, i could have found a bug of some sort... Oh well.
Now i need to figure out what that whole new thing about hero and hays 6.0 and that wierd new spl is about! I havnt been on for a while, since my dream was working great! And when i get back on the forum its like a massive new update thing going on

I am new to this forum, and i have been desperately trying to figure out how to get the htc keyboard on the generic cupcacke build that comes with the mytouch 3G. I know there is a method that involves rooting the phone, but i don't want to take a chance. I have come across another method that seems much easier:
download htc_ime.apk, put it on your sd card, download an app manager or file explorer from android market, use the app to doanload the apk on to your phone, go to local and text in settings and select touch input.
Does this method really work?
I had doubts because everyone seems to be using the more complicated method.
Yes any .apk file will work, does with me and I use Astro
Cheers
R.
Do you have to unzip the apk file before you put it on your sd card?

this method was discussed on the other thread, but the one person who ended up trying it out had problems getting it to work. that is why i made a separate thread to check if the process was valid and if would actually work.

its valid & works fine.. Jsut like the instructions in the other thread say.. I can personally vouch for that as I am using the HTC Compact Keyboard on my myTouch3g
Edit: also the 1 person who hasn't gotten it to work likely is just doing something wrong..
yeah pointless why start a new thread if you could have just gone to the other one and confirmed that it is working....
thanks for all the help. i guess i am kind of new to this stuff. i figured it would be easier to just start a new thread. by the way, why does everybody use the more complicated method(adb)?

Naw I'm positive I did it correctly I did it exactly like the OP in the other thread said he did it... I've rooted g1s and flashed roms so I think I have the bbasic knoledge needed to install an .apk, especially since I did the same thing two days before when I had to install the sherpa .apk

after you have the file on the card run the appmanager program.. when it comes up I had to choose menu & then Something that was obvious.. I dont remember what it was, but it was there.. & then simply install the apk file as listed.. Also make sure you have checked the bock to allow non marketplace apps..

@c-phresh
i think i know what your problem is. when you download and extract the htc_ime.apk, it branches into two files. one is a .so file, and one is a .apk file.
The only file that you should use is the .apk. if you also put the .so file on your sd card, the whole process will go wrong at one point.
when i try to install the keyboard it keeps failing, also. when i try to install it at the top of the screen it says "abc non-word vibrate times" then asks me to confirm that i want to change a system setting, then fails after i try to install. i have a changed the settings to allow 3rd party apps to be installed. any thoughts? non-rooted phone.....

From your information on your post profile I would say your not working with a MyTouch3g since you have a Canadian flag & the rogers logo..
you would be correct. i was hoping that my version would be pretty similar to the mytouch3g, minus the horrible name
@hondaguy
the keyboard that we are all trying to obtain already comes standard on the rogers magic that you have. Look at images on first page.

Anyone having any issues with Windows Mobile Marketplace this morning? It may just be an issue with flashed ROMs. Mine was running fine yesterday afternoon but last night I tried to kick it off and it said there was an update available and it would try to download it. It gets to the same point every time(about 85%) and says that Windows Marketplace cannot connect right now. I know I don't have any connection issues. Still doing the same thing for me this morning.
I did the registry hack a little while back to change the version to .5.3.00 or something like that and it worked fine.
Anyone have any problems with it, or is it working for anyone with a cooked ROM?
Yup I'm getting the same message. I'm on unbranded UK Touch pro2 using stock 6.5. I've also got a CAB installed that allows me to save apps on my SD card. don't know if that might nake a difference.
At least I know I'm not alone I wonder what the fix is...
i was getting that same error and uninstalled marketplace and used this cab. everything is back to normal now

Ok, for those who are getting the "Windows Marketplace for Mobile cannot connect right now. Try again later." I have been able to duplicate the error occurring w/ the hacked version of Marketplace that comes from XDA which allows storage to SD card.
After un-installing hacked version & replacing w/ default Marketplace software, it updates properly now. I uninstalled default version and re-installed hacked version I got the error message again. I finally un-installed hacked version again and re-installed default version and now everything is working again.
Hope this helps!
BTW, I have 6.1 on T-Mo TP2.
Yeah i have the same problem... I uninstall marketplace then reinstall the stock marketplace and it works fine, then install the hack version that allows SD card saves and get error message...... still no luck with hacked version.......
same thing here. but i've come to the conclusion that marketplaces sucks anyhow. and if i cant download to my sd card that i DON"T want it on my phone. so till xda comes up with a new verison for the sd card i will not put it on my phone
it driving me crazy i just cant get marketplace to connect..
after i updated my rom to windows 6.5 official t-mobile UK ..
i have tried changing the registry like says in the forum but still doesnt work..
i have tried the hacked version and the official and still will not work.
the hacked version says needs to update and while updateing just shutsdown..
any help will be great thanks..
i was really drunk when i rooted my phone and instellaed fresh 1.1 rom .... everything is working fine so i guess i did it right but i erased everything on my phone... all my apps contacts etc etc etc ... everything.... is there anyway to recover this? can i undo everything i did to my phone since i dont really know what i even did and just root the thing....?
is there anyway to install some of sprints apps back on and keep this rom also? i use nfl mobile and 2 others alot
also what is the point of using this rom??
im also new to cell phones.... i just got rid of my nokia 5110 that i basically had since it came out so i dunno wtf im doing or wtf i did.. one term i think i need to know about is flashing??

Well the fact that you were wasted says the guy who wrote the instructions did a damn good job lol. Props to them.
Second go download the Pre-Kitchen from geekfor.me
This will let you put those craptastic sprint apps back on the phone..but i guess if you use it you use it.
There is no getting contacts back that were not "google" contacts. Google contacts are backed up in the cloud. If you login to your Gmail if you see them there, they will be back on the phone. Its also tons easier to reenter them on Gmail than on the phone..big screen and keyboard and what not.
flashing simply means loading a new ROM on to the ROM chip...well we don't have a "Rom Chip" persay as they did years ago. Just into that part of the dev block. No big deal, I digress.
The benefits of the rom you have Vary depending on what one you have loaded. Personally I stick with Fresh. Seems faster to me. However fresh 1.1 kind slowed down so I went back to 1.0
well as far as getting everything back there is really not much you can do unless you did a nandroid backup before you flashed fresh 1.1. I know it sucks but I did the same thing when I first got my phone. I would suggest that as you rebuild your contacts make sure that you put them in as google contacts instead of phone that way if you wipe it on accident again then you wont lose your contacts.
as far as the point in running a different rom is mainly that they tend to be faster than the stock build because they have been optimized nad some things have been taken out that slow the phone down. and some cool stuff has been added like wifi teather and such.
now for getting some stock apps back. download the fresh kitchen it works great and is easy to use.
what is this kitchen i always hear about anyway??? can i select what apps i reinstall???? cuz i definitly dont want them all.... i actually remember thats why i did all this to get rid of thos sonsabitches.... also how can i get rid of sprint apps that are on here that i still dont want like music for instance??
is there a way to root and use sprint roms but remove most of the apps i dont want??
dam Kcarpenter beat me to it lol I wanted to be helpful for once
also i have gotten my contacts back... i was more concerned about the apps i lost and cant find cuz i dont remember all the apps i had

the kitchen is a program that was created to allow you to do common tasks witout having to actually use the code
yes you can pick and choose what apps you want to reinstall and it also now has the option to remove any file.
k i downloaded kitchen v2 how do i install it???
Also sorry for asking all these questions.... I am on a very very very tight schedule in winter and dont have time to really look into/research this stuff on my own this time of year
I also downloaded lockscreens and am still tryin to figure out how to install both of them
just extract it where you want it then run the .exe
the kitchen will allow you to install the lockscreens as well just move the zip files into the themer folder that you extracted for the kitchen
so i extract to a folder on my comp then run the program on comp and plug usb into phone etc.??
yes extract it to a folder plug the phone to the comp then just run the .exe and the kitchen will open. flipz has put in prompts telling you what each tool does the first time you go to use it
yea im just totaly not understanding how to intall the lockscreen... i downloaded it ... extracted it to same folder as kitchen... open kitchen went to push file selected system>app>htclockscreen.apk then selected push location as /system/app
and then it starts then gives me error...
could not find part of the path C:/folder/system/app/adb/filepush.bat
please report error.... kitchen closing
You shouldn't unzip lockscreens just point the kitchen to the zip file. It will do the rest.
dont extract the lockscreen file, in there folder that you extracted the kitchen to there should be a file labled "themer" and in that folder there should be a folder named themes, move the zipped file into that folder.
in the kitchen go to the tools&tweaks tool and choose install theme then pick the lockscreen zip file and hit install
should work.
great... got it guys ... thanks
np enjoy the new stuff

OK, here's the deal...
I've successfully flashed my Vodafone HD2 with HSPL. I went to the bootloader screen and it shows all the right messages. However, since installing HSPL, I just cannot flash any .nbh files (radios or roms)
Trawling through the interweb and XDA-Developers, this seems to be a relatively common problem. Whether it can be solved or not is debatable, as I see people posting about it but no one seems to have a definitive solution....or if they do, they're keeping it to themselves.
I don't profess to be a hacking guru, but I'm not stupid either, having played around with ROM upgrades on phones and PDAs for at least 6 years. but this file read error is driving me mad.
Come guys and girls, someone out there must have a solution to this. Please share the joy!!
BTW, I'm on Windows Vista...the machine is malware/spyware/virus free (as far as I can tell). I do have access to an XP install, but have my doubts as to whether trying to flash my HD2 from that machine will make any difference.
Someone PLEASE give me a solution before I tear out what little hair I have left!!
Cheers people,
Rich

Not yet, though I'm fairly certain that way will work, but I just wanted to be able to do the customruu.exe way...I hate being defeated by something that evrybody else seems to be doing with ease...especially when there seems to be no logical reason for it not to work.
Plus, the customruu.exe method is less hassle (if I can get it to work).
Just a thought...if the phone is locked to Vodafone would that make a difference? My initial thought is that it shouldn't make a difference since I manage to flash the HSPL without any hassles.
Was really looking forward to owning the HD2 for the WM6.5 hackability, but this has really dampened my spirits.
stupid question, i know, but....Have you tried running it as administrator?
im on voda aswell,but i only flash via my sd card and works fine.try it that way.

Yeah, it's the only way it will actually run. Just seems bizarre that some people can flash using customruu and others can't.
Looks like I'll have to try an SD card flash, but it'll have to wait til I have more time. Probably tomorrow morning.
Only really wanted to update the radio as the Voda reception from my home address is next to useless!!
So does anyone know if it's safe to just falsh the radio version via SD? Will this just update the radio without touching anything else?

Hi Download again the Custom RUU and plug usb into rear of the motherboard or change a cable then try because as you say Read error.
Try hard reset first then try again.
Where it says read error? on the pc / device
or put your device into bootloader then start the Custom ruu
Good luck
I know this has been covered loads, but im not exactly a computer genius but ive been at this for 4 hours now and its getting annoying...
ive installed the LEO70 rom on my HD2 installed chevron and Tom XAP installer and dev. tool kit etc following all the guides i could find...
Now when i go to unlock it in chevron it only gives the option to re-lock so i assume its already unlocked (ive tried re-locking it and un-locking again which failed so i re flashed...thank god for hspl and magloader....)
the problem is when i try to install any of the XAP stuff the tom XAP installer says:-
error connection: make sure phone is unlocked
and make sure usb is connected and zune is connected
yes yes and yes.....
im now super confused and wondering why i bothered lol,
im running XP by the way and havent been able to get an activation code yet....
Am i being stupid or have i done something obviously wrong??
again sorry for posting about a well covered subject but i still cannot find an answer to my problem
thanks for any help
Just to add, now the thing keeps resetting itself hard reset style lost all my contacts etc time and date etc ,
Could it be a duff rom causing all this?
well the resetting is a common SD issue, your card isnt compatible
as for XAPs, i dont use that, i use the appliaction deployer with the development tools, however i do know that if i try and do it without admin mode it will not work
course, your still using XP as well which complicates things a bit and again its not something i use any more so i cant be of any more help im affraid.
your SD issue tho is fixable, you could try formatting the card first in a digital camera or you will need to get a new card.
Go for a class 2 or 4 card, ignore any threads saying "this card works" yes it works for them but perhaps not for you, its very much down to luck
Thanks for the advice bud, I've popped the sd card out and it seems to be more stable bow but my main problem is the unlocking, is there any alternative software to unlock? And what developer loading thing do you use if not Tom xap loader ( I'm having trouble finding alternatives to try

Did you get the windows phone developer tools installed?, i think your post said you did, in your start menu you will find a menu for Windows Phone developer Tools, in there you will see an application deployment program
I use that but i have to run it in Admin mode, once its started it allows you to install an XAP to a emulator or a device, select a device (make sure its connected to zune) and locate the XAP.
ive never used that tom installer thing so cant really help you much with that.
as for the SD thing, without an SD it will lag quite a bit, buy what you can afford and dont buy something you wouldnt mind turning in to a tiny wee paper weight, ie dont go folk out for 32GB card when it might not work, 8 seems to be a good size to price card, again stick to a class 2 or 4
oh i forgot to ask, did you use one of the pre-unlocked ROMs out there or did you use the original DFT one?
got the dev tools yes, didnt know where it went though or what it did lol....
i tried it withouth the SD and it still changed the time and stuff all by itself (assuming it crashed in my pocket)
the rom i used is called HD2O_1.04_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE, i dont know how to tell if they were pre unlocked etc (i did look but couldnt see anything) is there any rom you would recommend?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
try that one, i dont normally suggest modded ROMs the DFT one is fine, but if someone is having issues with unlocking then they are much easier to get working
right i got another ROM from the development section (ill try that one next if i have problems) loaded that up got it all working with the missus laptop (windows 7 instead of xp) got all my contacts on there and even got the activation code through microsoft support chat.... runs smooth etc now i just need a new sd card (its crashed once already and im running an old 2gb card)
the thing that does my head in with the crashing is that it sets the clock to 00:00 and the date to 1980!!! gotta get a new card soon as i use my phone as my alarm to get up for work... doh....
Thanks for the support though bud, much appreciated,
one last thing, when i get the new card i take it i cant just take one out and put the other in as if i boot without my sd card the phone has no settings or contacts etc..... do you have to copy the card info accross or something??

technically its possible to use a partitioning program to clone the old SD card to the new one, ive not tried it, i think for the sake of simplicity, i would just reinstall it, you will lose you programs and SMS messages, paid for programs are still paid for, but you will need to locate them of the marketplace again.
