HTC Footprints; possible?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if the chefs could put the HTC Footprints into their roms?
I've noticed it that Footprint is only available on the newest HTC Cruise.
Altough most chefs uses the ROMS from Diamond2 (now) which doesn't have Footprints, do you think it would be possible to implement it into D2 Rom?
PS: i'm not sure to put it into the ROM dev-section, sorry if it's in the wrong section.

the upcoming release from SE, R3A, is going to feature its own geo-tagging facility through the camera application

but it seems there are some problems with the geotagging & i always get "no info" in my information page of the picture.
Does it give the city name or just the coordinates?

Can sombody explain what "footsteps" are?
I asking this myselfe all the time.

I think he meant "Footprints", and it's a lot more feature than R3A camera apps that just has geo-tagging.
I had Footprints built-in in my 2.x and 3.x series.

Hi all,
i'm new in Xperia world and this forum has been very helpfull for me...
I got manila TFL3D installed on my X1.
I tried to install footprint (not very clever, actually) without HD camera installed.
That does not work at all but the problem is not here : i've lost the text in a menu when i open a picture in TFL3D : the options/actions menu at bottom right is empty.
It opens the menu, i can click an action but i can't see the text ! (hard to select an anction without reading anything...)
I uninstalled footprint but it did not come back.... (and yes i've soft reset)
What can I do ? Except uninstall/reinstall manila ?
Thanks,
(sorry for my english i'm French...)

I've cabbed footprints. it's on the forum, you need a rom with one of the HTC cameras in it..

You referring to this? Nothing seems to happen after I tap on 'Menu > New' though. Did a soft reset, copied the HtcCameraUtility.dll to my Windows folder and checked my registry settings, and even tried installing gtrab's R3A CAMERA but still doesn't work. Something else I missed out? Or does it only work on Touch-IT? Btw, I'm on stock R3A.

yup. i've only tried it on roms with a htc camera built in, so I've no idea if it will work with stock and a cab.
using that cab, you dont need to copy htccamerautility as a working one is included, but it would be best to install the htc camera first..
what you can check is that the camera.exe in windows is not the SE one.. The SE is a dummy file to trigger CameraRunner.exe
[edit]
I've just reread what you posted... the R3a camera WILL NOT work, it needs HTC CAMERA..

Is it just any HTC camera? Or only those for Rhodium/Topaz? And if convenient, could you point me to where I could find it? Tried searching but couldn't seem to find any for Rhodium/Topaz.
By the way, I saw you mention in another thread that you use both the SE and HTC camera. You mean that's possible?
Edit: Found 2 versions of the Topaz camera, but after installing, got the error message below when I tried running the 'HTC Camera' program that appeared:
'The file 'Camera' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file.'
Edit2: Btw, I did try installing the rhodium MHub.cab and also checked the 3 registry entries but still no use.
And by the way, I suppose the Rhodium camera not working is also why I can't launch the camera from the Photos and Videos tab in TF3D (using Daran's TF3DB3).

Thanks for your answer.
I got a stock rom for the moment. Maybe i'll change it in a few weeks, with everything working ! (hopfully)

The reason the HTC camera doesn't work is that it needs lots of support files, It's just easier to use one cooked into a rom..
If you really want core stuff from HTC devices to work on the X1 then use a cooked rom.. It's simpler, more efficient and you know it'll work...

Can I assume that you used a cooked ROM (so as to have the HTC camera) and then separately installed the SE camera?
Anyway I've been contemplating switching to a cooked ROM for a while .Just worried that switching back to stock (for servicing purposes) would not be possible. Btw, can I assume Footprints will work on Touch-IT?

I believed both Itje and mine have BOTH camera apps built-in. And if you really dare to read previous post in this thread. I even have footprint built-in as well and you don't have to do anything any all

Ya. Saw your post about Footprints in your ROM. And uh, ya, I did kind of see a mention of restoring to stock ROM, just that still had some things I still wasn't too sure about it (like what 'stock radio' is and where to get it). But guess I'd probably just give it a try.

Some questions for owners

I want to buy this device but i've some questions:
Does the browser support flash content like youtube .flv or .swf animations?
Does The SenseUI and the rest of software work in landscape?
Is there a GPS Navigation software available for Android?
Will be released an Android 2.0 upgrade from HTC?
Bluetooth bug and Alarm bug can be fixed?
tnx all and sorry for my bad english..

Does the browser support flash content like youtube .flv or .swf animations?
.flv works but little jumpy, you can use the youtube app, or there is a very good browser called 'Dolphin Browser' that allows .flv to be downloaded to yoru phone as a .mp4 file. cannot tell you about .swf
Does The SenseUI and the rest of software work in landscape?
Sense UI does not work in landscape mode, everything else does as long as you have the option ticked for auto rotation.
Is there a GPS Navigation software available for Android?
Yes, you can buy Copilot for £22 for 1 map or £54 for all maps, or just as good AndNav2 works great and is freely available. Plus, GMN may be launched in the near future (fingers crossed)
Will be released an Android 2.0 upgrade from HTC?
?? Who knows? I woudl imagine at some point but I cannot see it being a priority.
Bluetooth bug and Alarm bug can be fixed?
Don't know the bugs you are referring to.

thanks for your reply, wilfmoralee!
The Bugs are:
Alarm doesn't work if the device is in standy by, but i've read also that this issue comes only when the sim isn't plugged..
about the BT, it can't transfer files, i've read this in many sites/forum and also in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586700) --> "Doesn't have Bluetooth transfer built in. There's a bluetooth app in the market, but it won't work until 2.0 comes out for the tattoo. Sorry"
Another simple question: can i record a phone conversation in "both sides"? Is there an app or it has an hardware limitation like my Xperia X1 that can only record my voice?
many thanks

i can't find anything in the market that does this, and as far as i know it's not a stock option.

hey
i know the tattoo cant send files over bluetooth but can it receive files over bluetooth?

As ridiculous as it sounds - it cannot.

You can send via bluetooth if u download a app that is called " Bluetooth File Transfer "
It's on the market.

That app is not yet compatible with Tattoo. It needs Eclair to work correctly.
Hope HTC will release the upate soon

Hey!
It's been a month since the last reply in this topic ... any news about those things?
- Blue-tooth problems still there or are already solved (sending/receiving files)?
- GPS Navigation (that doesn't require w-lan connection)?
- upgrading Android 1.6 to 2.1 ... possible?
I would also appreciate your comments about the Tattoo; user experiences - why YES and/or why NO

Bluetooth file transfer will not work. The Bluetooth File Tranfer app does not work with Tattoo on Android 1.6.
I assume most GPS Nav. programs would use EDGE or 3G services rather than WLAN, since you won't be connected to 1 network while you're navigating!
Apparently it's possible, but there has been no documented or official way of doing it AS OF YET.
Why YES to the Tattoo:
It's compact. Good form factor. Affordable for me. Good social networking integration.
Why not:
Bad camera, both for pics and videos. Application compatibility with smaller screen(not all of them work, but most of the apps available on Market work fine). Battery life is less when features like Wi-Fi, mobile internet or GPS is used(as expected from any smartphone).

Can anyone confirm that "hcitool" is working in the terminal? "hcitool dev" should give information about the bluetooth adapter in the telephone. hcitool scan should give bluetooth devices nearby. I need to know this before I order this telephone. Thanks in advance!

"Permission denied"

Thanks, ok this means that root access is required to run hcitool correctly. Did you root your droid?

This is the tattoo forum. Theres no root actually for the tattoo and yes root is required to use this service.

Hello Tattoo comnunity, i´m a owner of a tattoo (PTG), and a i have a friend who´s interesting on a TATTOO, but in english (WWE) , my question is, can he choose the language PTG, and the dictionary in PTG too? PPL who have a WWE can answer that doubt?

Bluetooth File Transfer on Hero 2.1

Hello, I have a HTC Hero with Android 1.5 from factory, I've tested Bluetooth transfer and it doesn't work at all. Does any1 know if Bluetooth File Transfer works with Hero 2.1 ROM? I'm rooting my phone only to have BT working ... anyone use this application from market? Does it works? At first sight it's cool but can't do anything on my Hero and the dev won't respond.
Thank you!!

Yes it works really well on the HERO21 1.7 Rom
Also allows phonebook sync with my bluetooth unit

So I take it you mean this won't work at all on the stock ROMs?
I'm looking for a solution to get BT OBEX, particularly contacts and V-cards from either stock or MoDaCo 3.

nope only on 2.01 or 2.1 roms for Hero support OBEX. MCR3 is based on 1.5 and doesnt have obex support.

I can launch the program, find devices, do pairing stuff, others are able to find my Hero device, everything works fine. BUT, each time I try to connect with a device it gives me a service search error with a reason: "return false".
So I think it's something related with service search only, then the program will work correctly. NOTE - It works with Acer Liquid driven by Android 1.5
Thank you all

The shame is on Google - they should've implemented more bluetooth profiles when Cupcake (1.5) was released.

ROM 1.66 versus 1.48

Hi all,
The Dutch version of the 1.66 ROM has just been released and I would like to know what are the main differences between 1.48 and 1.66. Is it worth to upgrade and install everything again (a hell of a job).
Tnaks in advance, Kuzibri

I think the best thing for you would be reading through this forum... There are at least 10 threads that handle your "issue".

I know, I have done that for most of them, but I'm, of course, mainly interested in the findings of members that already used the leaked Dutch version. There seems to be differences in ROMS between countries.

The biggest changes are:
* SMS Bug fixed
* Lock Screen works now
* Proximity Sensor seems to work all the time now
* Device runs smoother
at least for me

thanks for your kind and fast reply.

The dutch version is out :O Thanks for telling, vriend
I would like to know if 1.66 is worth it or not as well. Talking about the Dutch version. Also a noob question: all your installed programs (games, tweaks, etc) will be gone right? Everything that is on your SD card will not get removed I assume? And will all programs work normal or do we have to wait for all the programs to get updated to roon on 1.66?
Would appriciate the help! Kind regards.

Games, Tweaks, etc will be deleted! SD is untouched..
Most/all of the programs work! There is an issue with the battery % indicator but theres already a fix for it!
Before you upgrade, backup your contacts,calender and other important stuff ( notes or whatever)

Thank you very much for this information. Will have to search for that battrty % fix because I use a custom notifications bar (the default one is ugly imo) which includes a nice 1% battery indicator.
So overall, it is good to go 1:66. Just going to have to start over after upgrading. Maybe a good thing so I can get rid of all the junk I dont use: a general cleening process

you're absolutely right by that. But the link is here:

A bit weird though that this ROM update is not present on the general HD2 support site (where you normally can find all updates for the HD2), but that it is placed(you would almost say: is hidden) in the ROM update category.

Thanks... works like a charm!

[Q] CM7+HTC system stuff

Having searched all the forum HD2 android, i can not find a ROM like android 2.3+HTC System stuff but without sense.
The ideal is to enjoy the system 2.3.3 and the HTC's USB connection Menu.
Can anyone help me?

By USB stuff, do you mean HTC sync, cos no, there isn't, it requires HTC sense.

Yeah, it's not possible to have 2.3 and anything got to do with HTC (yet).

seems the only way is 2.3+myphoneExplorer to sync outlook.
Another problem is the usb tether in android 2.3 never works with my HD2.
