Hi friends,
I am an x-Trinity user (2 years) and an owner of a Diamond for almost a week now. I have flashed my phones so many times that I can't even remember and I always had the same problem after every flash.
RE-INSTALL MY FAVORITES APPS IN THE PDA !!!!!
Does anybody of you cookers has any solution available on how to avoid this? What I mean is could I somehow get an image of my phone apps before flashing and just recover the apps after flashing the new rom?
or
Is it possible to create an automated installation process of the apps that the user would like to have in his phone?
I am sure that this problem has bothered you as well and maybe we could find a solution to overcome it!
My congratulations to all those great programmers out there trying to make our lives easier.
if flashing to the same rom (...): you can use pimbackup or spritebackup.

Or Spb Backup but I am not talking about flashing the same ROM. Personally I try to have the latest ROM available and most of the times is not from the same cooker.
Give a try to SASHIMI.....
ex-trinity owner here too..
i'm a bit frustrated not just over the app installs but getting back the settings. Used to use SettingsSaviour (app made by someone here on xda) but it seems to not work with the vga display.. things are all messed up. It would auto-install cabs, and reload back most general settings, etc..
anyone got a solution for this? i was spoiled using it so never rounded up all the provisioning xml files and stuff that i need to get the device back to the way i want it..
there are sevral tools on the forum to automate the re-install proces!
I myself do it with mortscript, works perfect.

Yes try SASHIMI its great easy to use and works nice.
oh i thought you were joking when you wrote "SASHIMI" haha
Just wondering, does the current version of SASHIMI support VGA devices? When I installed version 5.0, I had a host of error messages from the program...

I answered some question on this in the SASHIMI thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983
The next version due out in a few days should work on the Diamond.
There will be two issues:
1) Formatting may be a bit off, as I layed everything out for VGA devices.
2) Auto Storage Card install won't work, since I designed that based on screen taps for a QVGA screen.
Once the new version is released, try it out and it should work with the above exceptions. If someone out there wants to work with me on getting some better parameters for those options to get it fully working on VGA devices then we can probably do that.
You can post in the SASHIMI thread with any more questions/comments.
thx.
the TLR rom has an update feature that keeps you from having to reflash as often.
-mix
SASHIMI 6.5beta is out and I am interested in feedback from Diamond users.
I believe that the Auto Install to Storage Card will now work with Internal Storage.
I need Diamond users to test and confirm.

Hi, yesterday i was trying to launch android on my BA and i DID IT!
It works like ****:
Touchscreen doesn't work (you can activate list scrolling by pushing it on the side)
Some buttons don't work
No sound
Navigation:
D-pad (left, right, up, down)
Enter (on the keyboard, since D-Pad center doesn't work)
!WARNING! there is no end call and back buttons, you can't exit applications
How to? Here is the tutorial:
Create a folder on your memory card
Get the latest HaRET from here http://handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/
Get the latest zImage from here http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/htcblueangel/
(i use zImage-2.6.21-hh20-r16-htcblueangel.bin)
Rename it to zImage
Put that default.txt
Code:
set kernel zImage
set initrd "initrd-android.gz"
set CMDLINE "rootdelay=3 root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=23504 init=/linuxrc"
boot
Now you need the system - Android
Get that: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/initrd-android
Don't forget to rename it to initrd-android.gz
I've got it from here http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
it stays in jumping to kernel... i followd the steps above, did you copy pasted the command correctly??

Just launch Haret.exe
Speed... hm... Almost like WM6
a lot slower than wm6 the android image should be tweaked in order to have proper drivers for touchscreen keys and sound
wow...very cool, I'll be looking for updates (if there are any)
hi friends,
i tested android and seems a good toy
i did make a rar with all files needed, you need only to extract to SD and run haret
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/147524450/android.rar.html
i'm really interested to go further on android.
about my tests, i can conclude two things:
- D-pad works, but not very well
- Touch screen is not working, but i know it detect moves on it
(try to dpad a icon, then touch the touch-screen, you ll see)
I'm not a expert on pocket pc, but i have my skills.
I found an other thing, hardware specification.
Code:
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelHardware
if the information is right, the touchscreen is from the same family that the vogue one.
To continue this adventure, i need some lights. I know we have a developer from the kernel/Opie/GPE in this forum. If you are him, i need some lights about your work.
The other thing, i'll try to do is asking help to vogue/kaiser android project, to give me some lights how they touchscreen work.
The last thing. All the help is appreciated, everybody is invited in this project and all the help is welcome. And i really need it lol
udapte (23/9/2008)
Well i talk do vogue android project man, and the answer from him is simple. His work was only to port kernel to vogue platform. I will have to find who made the one we are using.
The touchscreen is detected, but somehow it doesn't work.
i have failed .
my BA get a FlashDIsk and ramdisk in WM6 enrironment..
when i run haret ....
after jumping to kernal
an error occur
can't mount SDcard .it's halt..
why...
How about your work? I'm working on this task also. Need more information to make it working. Could you give me some patches for BA's kernel.
Also the SC Card Message, any adivice o workaround?
w0w...
it runs on my BA. Great!
However I cant do anything inside. But thanks to all of you that make this possible.
I'm waiting for the next release, hope it will run faster, and all get better.
Thanks.
Is anything happening with this?
Any news?
Is vogue version working? I have try to build a kernel for BA but false to boot
Will try and report later....
kernel
I have A LOT of, like everything I could find, files to load linux on the Blue Angel. Angstrom, Familiar, QT...somethingsomething... Anyway, it works well except the wireless which I think should work until the thing goes into standby. Would the zImage/initrid files or any of the others help? I'd like to help ya get this working, I think most of the works been done. I must say, however, I am just learning about how this stuff works. I can't code, but I have a BA, lots of experience repairing hardware like ppcs and I really would love the chance to finally give back to this wonderful community after they've given me so much.
It would be great to get this working. It would give my pda2k a whole new lease on life.
any updates on this?
Thanks
so, any news? android would be quite nice.
i concur. i'd liketo see a android on the blueangel, why isnt there one? linux runs fine on it, theres an older android that supposidly boots on it.
cmon somebody make the damn thing work.
Guys
Anyone got a cab to add Push Internet functionality to the Touch HD (possibly from a Touch Diamond 2 port?) for use on the native Manila?
I'd be really interested to use this.
Thanks
I don't think it is possible, because it is totally a new manila.
ok- but there might be another way to perform this without using a new rom....I just don't want to flash a non-official rom.....no specific reason other than I have concerns.
im sorry but i dont quit understand.. whats push internet?? i know push email such as exchange or bis/bes but i never heard of push internet...

You need to use new ROM look at my sig
Push Internet is possible with tweaking Reg (In new manila)
(Set Value data to 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\InternetPush
(Set Value data to 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PushInternetEngine
Cheers for the info Kaon but I'm not looking to flash a new ROM. Anyone have any ideas how to achieve similar results with a Stock ROM (albeit maybe with a diff app?)
@ Richbenson: Push Internet is basically a timed poll of selected internet sites that allows you to load up the cached version rather than the live version....so for example you could set BBC.co.uk to be "pushed" to your device every 15minutes and your device would launch that version of the internet site when you went on that website.
ooo ok... thanks

when i enter these values, i get a error: cannot access the address: file://localhost/obnc/program...etc
atleast before i entered these values i could load the 'push pages' as if they were normal bookmarks - which i am currently trying to solve as well

All,
Due to good success in the Blue Angel section, I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum as well. This will be good to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the Vogue in any way. This includes but is not limited to people that are providing
*New Roms and Kitchens
*Programs and Apps
*Fixes
*Skins
*Tips and Tricks
However, I have a life (and so do most of you), which is why I would like to request the help from other Seniors (or anyone who knows the answer really ) to monitor the thread as well. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question 37000 times...
Without further ado, lets go for it!

GOOD IDEA!
Hi there Gents any input
Barogi awesome so far for v2; media player not staying in full screen mode though, and manila home weather under clock wont update when you push update now also getting error message for manila home on reboot
Great idea for a faq page!
I have been using a NFSfan rom on my bell vogue for a while, and it crapped out today for some reason. Rather than put another WM build on it, I wanted to change to Android.
I have looked through many pages in here, but I can't find a simple tutorial on switch from a custom WM build to a Android build. I prefer to use the NAND method so that I don't ever have to see WM again...
Can someone create or point me towards a step-by-step guide for installing Android? Keep in mind that I have absolutely no Android experience, and that my custom ROM is completely messed up, so would it make for sense to flash the a manf build and upgrade from there?
Thanks

I have a question:
I recently flashed the Bell rom with the latest radio (I couldn't get the radio only nbh to apply properly), and then subsequently flashed with the latest NagROM rom (which is awesome btw).
Now of course, at startup i have the nice HTC screen with the rom version etc, followed by an AWFUL blue BELL screen (and then the nice orange wm6.5 screen).
Is it possible to change the blue BELL screen? And if so how?

There was a cab to change that somewhere around here in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can flash NFSFan's rom (which will get rid of it), or you can try mine as well and then reflash Nag's rom.

Question from mac+htc
mac+htc said:
Hey everyone,
So I was running NSFANS 6.5 ROM on my device (Amazing ROM btw) But I needed to revert back to the stock rom. I used the VZW updater to go back to the stock rom and I changed the esn on line. When I dialed the *228 and choose option 1 I got a failed message. So I called customer support and he walked me through a manual programing. Well that got voice working but when I went to use the data it wouldn't work. I made sure all the network settings were right, and I still couldn't connect. Well then I hard reset the device and now I am back to square 1. No voice no data. Is this something from NSFANS rom that is messing the phone up? I don't want to call again because their tech support takes forever and I am afraid they are just going to tell me to take the phone into the store. Thanks in advance!

Why did you change the E$N? Where you using the device in a different carrier?
Back to your problem. Your EPST settings should survive a hard reset as those are parameters that are not stored in Windows (afaik). It really makes not difference which rom you are using (at least for Voice and SMS).
Lets focus on your main phone's capabilities first. If your EPST settings truly got lost, you will need to get them from Verizon again. The main ones are the MSD and MIN. Make sure that you write them down this time as you will need them again if they go bye bye.
As for your internet, you will probably need to set the correct username in the phone's programming as well (also info that you will need from Verizon, but it should be something like [email protected] or something like that)
Do that and let me know if this works. They will have to program this for you this time, but once you have the values that I mentioned before, you will be able to do it yourself.

Try to get Barogi's latest "lite" rom. Also, you can't go wrong with vin's 28014 or NFSFan's rom. I would recommend mine, but I think they might be a little heavy for what you want. Good luck.
i checked out NSFSfan. It was nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for what I want. Ill check out the other you suggested before i just flash back to stock rom

Try to avoid stock if you can... it has a bad tendency of being too heavy on the extra apps.
I checked out just SS's of both. Both look awesome, but theres something about the simple look ( or im just used to it since my 8125 ) of the stock look. I would like to have the look but the added memory of a cooked rom.
With NSFSfans, could you remove the today screen plug ins to get back to a more stock look?
Im runnin 2.1 android eclair at the moment, and im barley pulling a full day battery with no data/bluetooth. With the old winmo, I was getting 2.5 days-3days. Thats another main concern for me.

I keep getting this loop at the boot screen of klinux:hTc
I can't go pass that!! ARGH!
The funny thing is that all these problems can be solved by reading to my thread and klinux's thread..
Indeed, I think it's better to just close this thread and not add to the confusion of the already growing number of android threads.
Ok guys

Haha, good job, I am using Raphael 100 as well.
