Hi, I just finished flashing NFSFAN's 1.05 Alltel ROM and hoping it would help this problem,... it has not.
constantly updating weather [flashing updating 1/1] over 5 minutes of doing this
I have tried searching many forums and not found any help.
I am currently connecting by USB for internet access, have not activated my phone yet,
...trying to work out all the bugs before I have to do the swap and possibly loose having a working phone
in the About section my phone reads
WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2.21041
Device Information reads
ROM version 1.05.Alltel
Radio version 3.42.30
PRL Version 30008
PRI version 2.02_011
Mod please delete this post
Thank you
but I do still have a problem with my phone, and I am looking for help
I'm sorry to all forum members and guests who had to witness this.
as for my problem
try removing all/any cities added, - how do I do this, it wont stop updating long enough to get in to edit the city??
Mod please delete this post

Im done, your crazy and Im good with that..
apology, funny didnt see one, nor was I wanting one, was trying to help but YOU wanted a fight but at this point I dont care Im not arguing with someone that wont accept help when given
do as you wish I stand by my statement "sucka dont want no help - sucka dont get no help"
Im going through and editing all my posts to delete them and I wash my hands of this thread, good luck

"Im done, ... was trying to help but YOU wanted a fight ... I dont care Im not arguing with someone"
Uh seems like I heard that before.
Uh, you are arguing dude.
"nor was I wanting one"
didn't say you were. -- still sorry though, maybe one day you'll understand.
I can hope that, though.
"apology, funny didnt see one"
by saying, more than one
****I was poking fun at myself****
be humble in what you do... (me and you)
I'm not perfect...
...and need to be forgiven of those sins.
I tend to forget, that people [including myself]...
so again I will ask you to let it go man.
I am looking for help,
I really don't see how you you don't see that,
I keep trying to put my thread back on track and you are hung up ~ way ~ over thinking this situation
me and doug apparently don't get along
we just don't see eye to eye
too bad
end of that conversation, ... Please
no one probably wants to associate with me now.
but I do still have a problem with my phone, and I am looking for help
I'm sorry to all forum members and guests who had to witness this.

I have that rom, but do not use manilla,
I'm assuming this is what you're question is about?
The weather on the manilla screen?
I use the titanium "today" screen weather panel.
In another attempt of having a stable phone, with the AOSP dialer/contacts/messaging...
I know we have a few [stable, but sorta not stable] roms that are AOSP related,
I understand so much code can/cant be transfered from Sense into making an AOSP Rom, and I understand that. im an older C+ / VB programmer, and understand trying to make something out of decompiled code is a *****, so ...
instead of trying to make a rom that is all converted over,
why hasn't anyone, in the time of Hero/Sense, all the way till now,
hasent anyone just made an app that is coded/looks just like the regular
AOSP Dialer/contact/messaging stuff?
Not to completely replace our phones dialer and what not, but still id end up clicking this "made up" app before I would click my regular dialer icon..
I mean, there are plenty of apps that read our call logs, contacts list
stock dialer/contacts dont look too complicated, is it the layout that would be hard?
Are there any developers that read this? Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Like, list of APIs/whatever type of stuff that is called from in Android coding? Im no stranger to code, but i know nothing about android coding / java.
But again, can anyone send me the right direction? I understand get the Android SDK emulator and what not, but i dont feel like following slow moving tutorials for hello world widgets.
Ill be more than happy to do this day and night, to get desired results.
I dont think im asking too much, and I could make this a way longer explanation.
Thanks again to anyone / everyone thats willing to help, or that is interested.
Really? No one?
Just shed some light for me, come onn
why not extract some .apk's from a working ROM that has the aosp elements and putting them into another ROM you want to transfer them from? i dunno thats where i would start before trying to copy whats already created basically.
Can't you just push the mms.apk and contacts.apk from aosp via adb? I coulda sworn it worked on my hero
well, i decided im going to try and make a rom, and since im a beginner, i need tips and advice on how to. is there anything important i need to know? where do i begin? any info from any developers are welcome, and please. no flaming
only one bump, i promise
yea i've wanted to im have asked a couple people and the best advice i got was to
1.)download the android sdk from google
2.)download some roms or themes and to look in them and see what files are in there basically learn the files that make a rom or a theme.
3.)download a image manipulation (Photoshop, Gimp) these are the best i recommend Gimp its free!!!!
4.) WinRAR this you will have to buy or get the trial verison some computers come with this installed.
that about it thats as far i got.
Download 7zip because its the easiest to use (on windows, ubuntu has it built in.
Know the basic drivers and functions
DONT GET UPSET IF YOUR BUILD FAILS (easier said then done..i know, i made some RoMs in my day)
Know what you want- you should always know what you want before thinking about touching a ROM. If you like DE-Sensed, then know what parts to de-sense.
Know what the apps do- some apps are nonsense (like city ID, footprints, etc) and some apps make the phone usable (like a launcher), so never delete a main app off the phone without replacing it with a similar app (if i deleted sense launcher and replaced with launcher pro).
Push yourself to do more- if you ge t bored with making DE-sensed roms, try to build from source. I can always help you with that, as i have written up a giude on it and have done it many times.
and the number 1 rule:
LOVE YOUR WORK!
thanks for the info guys, this is really gonna help!

Could anyone point me to the correct tutorial to root your HTC Touch Pro 2 ?
I'v been reading up on the android builds past few days. I'm totally new to this.
I got android to work with the project android build. And i want to use Whatsapp.
But it won't let me open Whatsapp. 3rd party task manager is killing it. So i guess its ATK ? But i can't just uninstall it trough settings>applications etc. Same trough android market. I read somewhere you'd have to root it then. But i don't know how. Any help would be appreciated alot !!!.
If i'm not suppose to post this, because i haven't looked or w/e, fine delete this. But i did look. And if been reading alot of topics and iv seen alot of flaming just because of asking a question. might have been a stupid one, but still, people just want some help. Why not help out ? We all start somewhere. And im starting right here. haha.
Oh and if im totally off map by saying rooting, let me know how i can get whatsapp to work. Iv seen it works for others so im just waiting to fix mine. haha.
Anyway, great job on the forum and great builds for TP2.
Peace,
from the spacestronaut.
It is already rooted. Next time spend some time reading

well you didnt search enough nor read enough...and i started by reading and searching (only 2 posts in first year as member)
Like i said before, i did search the past few days, and i did read, but its not like theres a topic out there called "TP2 rooting". Or "how to get rid of preinstalled apps". So cool it. And help me out. That would be greatly appreciated it. i knew i shouldn't expect a mature response...

Well that's the problem, XDAndroid is rooted - but don't expect every app that works on native Android phones to work on these - this isn't exactly an approved or sanctioned port.

im not using the XDandroid build, im using the project android build. And i read somewhere in order for whatsapp to be working you need to get rid of ATK by rooting your phone and then get rid of the app (ATK). So, some are saying it should be rooted. And it's not like no one is running whatsapp on a HTC android mod. it should be working. but i can't seem to get rid of ATK. iv read other could just get rid of it trough settings>applications but i can only delete the updates. Please some real anwsers instead of saying things i allready know.
Hey,
first of all welcome to the xda-developers forum...
like u and i guess everyone i hate answers like some of the ones you got..
i think a froum is made to ask questiuons however that might be about...
and it took me month back in my old htc kaiser days to get the whole android thing.
so when you want to install apps that are not from the store then u have to check one checkbox first.
ull find it under settings->applications-> and there should be a checkbox that says unsigned apps or untrusted apps...something like that.
normally this page should pop up if u click on a app that u have on the sd card...
i hope that is what u asked for...
and the phone is already rooted whatever build u are using
and if u have any questions but dont want to ask them in the forum cuz u might think that u get answers that dont suit ure question just pm me

Hi, i appreciate your response. Thanks alot.
So it's allready rooted. Ok cool. Let me explain. I want to use Whatsapp. But when i open it, i get the 3rd party task manager is blocking it. And im guessing its the ATK. but i can't get rid of it. I know how to install unsigned and untrusted apps. But now i want to get rid of it. haha. Anyway, i shoot you a message maybe tomorrow to explain more i guess. A mod can close this, as i proberly won't get a straight answers anyway.

Do you even know what you're talking about? ATK hasn't been included in any builds for a while, and what do you mean you're not using XDAndroid you're using the "project android build" - this makes me think you have NO clue what you're talking about. Please, prove me wrong.

Your right, i don't know, that's why im asking... smh at the ignorance at this forum.
hey,
ok now i got what ure asking...
so then it is important what method u are using? do you have a system.ext2 file that you load with haret?
or do you have a partioned sd card with the android system on a ext2 partition.
when you have the whole system in a system.ext2 file you would need to unpack it, delete the .apk of the app, and then pack it into a .ext2 file again...
when you have the second method that just browse into the folder system/apps/ and delete the file...
that should work for every normal app but it is not easy to do it...

Well you certainly answered my questions with a confidence only stupidity can be responsible for.
FYI, there's a difference between ignorance & stupidity. Ignorant people just don't know. Stupid people know, but are willingly ignorant. You have all the information available to, yet you insist on being ignorant.
It's OK to ask questions - but if it has been answered before, answering the same questions over and over again gets old. So some of us will respond a little less amicably than others - 9 times out of 10, this was because the OP didn't do their due diligence.

I just sent you a pm. i don't load anything, i start winmo, open up, project android, hit boot, android starts... that's all i do. i don't have a system.ext2 file on my sd. if this method is "wrong" or dated, let me know where to get the newest build. seems like that is the problem ?
hm...so you have to have some files that are behind that...
and i would think that you have a system.ext2 file somewhere...
should be in the andboot folder on your sd card.
but in builds that are used now here that task manager you want to get rid of isnt used anymore...so i would suggest just try the xdandroid build and kernels or the neopeek version which is very fast and you have all files on a spare partition on your sd card.
if you want to get started with the neopeek build just check neopeek.com and then the forum. there are all the build he has developed and instructions how to install. if u have any questions about that just let me know...
i guess art your point it would be the easiest to switch to another build

Listen, i understand your point of view. Iv been reading up on alot of threads in the Touch Pro 2 section. And i saw alot of normal questions being asked. And there was alot of flaming just because of those questions. That's disrespect in my opinion. Because you guys now, just point a newb to the right place. I mean it's not that hard... or is it ? Believe i do understand it though. But it doesnt hurt to be a bit more helpfull. Im willing to learn. I signed up because i wanted to participate and learn. That might not have been in my OP but im sure you understand by now, i do want to learn. And to be honest, alot of those frequently asked questions aren't in the provided tutorials or aren't easy findable. Wich makes it totally legit to ask a question. Forgive me for not reading 1000 pages of a thread. I only wanted a quick response to my question. A url to the right place to continue to search for a fix. and to learn. not to piss you guys off. Because it's allready been done about a million times. Again, i do understand your attitude, but give a new guy a chance to learn.

Thanks nick, you the man
I guess if your whole issue is ATK, then just use a newer build. I don't think ATK has been included in any of the 2.2 builds, but it hasn't been in a build for a while. So I'm guessing your build is old if you still have ATK on there.

its a double-edged sword this kinda thing, because its easy for both sides it is just tedious and requires an abnormal amount of patience which some of us (like myself) have little of to begin with
also there are times, like this, that a noob cant simply be pointed in the right direction
all that said i agree with nick, just use xdandroid for tp2 especially since that is what the people around here are most accustomed to
So I am new with the Android world.
I got Blazn up and running, but that's all where I am at lol.
So i see all those extra information that I am not knowledgeable about (not ignorant so people don't start flaming) , so I am going to call myself a NOOB when it comes to Android and learning bit by bit everyday.
So long story short, You guys got WhatsApp up and running properly?
Because I heard back in the 2.1 eclair , WhatsApp was not working correctly.
If working, what alterations have you guys done to make it run (if any needed).

Ok, after a quick google search I see what it is... why not just use Google Voice? Seems like a much better alternative IMHO.
I am currently using Espier launcher which is great but the only problem i have with it is that some icons just are plain ugly. I tried my hardest, sat down and for the last two days I have been trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449283
I just couldn't do it right I don't know what I was doing wrong but something didn't work. It might help too if the above guides screenshots worked instead of saying 404. I was hoping maybe someone with a little more knowledge of .xml editing could either tell me what I am doing wrong or do it for me.
If anyone wanted to do it the launcher.apk can be found here:
http://espier.org/download/EspierLauncher.apk
And the icons that I am trying to add can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a2z4zqqcllhmzcr
I wanted to be able to have:
~Music icon for Google Play Music
~Video icon for Google Play Movies
~iBooks icon for Google Play Books
~Calendar icon for stock AOKP Calendar
~Weather icon for Google News and Weather application
~Photo icon for Stock AOKP Gallery
~iFile icon for File Expert
~Safari icon for Espire Browser
~All the other icons are self explanatory (i.e. Youtube = Youtube, Twitter = Twitter, Facebook = Facebook)
Thank You so much in advance to anyone that would be able to help me with this!
Give me a week or two and I will try it. I should be able to do it, but time is always getting in the way, sorry bro.

No problem!!! I just try my best to help out the community. Unfortunately ai don't have an Epic anymore, I have another android phone but I will post the themed apk before I test it or maybe I will get the chance to who knows.
If you want me to theme any other apps let me know and I'll get to it!
I know this sounds stupid but, I don't have enough time on my hands where I can do this and make sure it works. The free time I have I am probably whittling or just adventuring outside or doing something I enjoy doing. I hope you understand,
But what sounds stupid is that I am willing to make a video on how to do it, if that's okay with you. If it is I will get off my lap top and go on my desktop, open up camtasia, record it, upload it to youtube, and put a link here.
You can post a thread saying that this is a general tutorial on themeing apps and you can use my video just so we don't have more posts like this, and maybe it'll be a sticky.
My apologies again! And yes I am saying sorry because I shouldn't have accepted a duty I am not able to fulfill. I know it looks weird having me typed all this, but its a lot easier than going through the folders and changing them.
I am not abstaining from doing it, I enjoy working on shtuffs for these phones and all, but I just have other things to do and other things I enjoy more.
I hope you understand where I am coming from. Video will be made by the weekend hopefully.
Although my hands are full ill pick this up just for the sake of helping. Idk what I can cook up but I'll let you know
This launcher looks like a Chinese version of an I phone. What rom are you on. Have you tried miui roms I have some tike tomorrow I can look into this. I'm not as awesome as Travis is at this but. If I can help. Then I am willing.
