Hello!
I would like to get a copy of DCD's kitchen for his rom 3.2.0 and 3.2.2 (or the closest one to that).
The reason for that is that I want to compare what has changed between the two and hopefully locate the file that makes it so that skype 2.1.0.66 hasn't been working anymore since 3.2.x versions.
Somehow, DCD's site is down and I can't locate those files I need.
Any help?
Thanks!
i have the rom on my hard drive and 3.2.2 as a kitchen. if google dosnt find it i can send them to you

is msxipkernel\nk.exe
Thanks DCD.
Is there an adverse effect in replacing that file in your newer rom? (aside from making skype work?)
Hum...
NK.exe is THE kernel...
Switching it might be a bad idea I guess, it might break lots of things?
Stuck on 3.2.0 until skype fixes their software I guess...

Since dcd knows which file causes the issue and hasn't found a decent workaround/replacement for the file, I'd be willing to bet it isn't a "plug-in the file from a different WM version" fix. As I recall this was a pretty hot issue when WM6.1 surfaced and I believe the post below might say it best.

It seems Skype isn't interested in supporting our phone and they have the resources of eBay. If they wanted to support us (and a vast number of other phones,) they could..... but they don't. That's called a "marketing decision" when big corporations do it..... specifically, a "poor marketing decision."
I've seen services called "iSkoot" and "Nimbuzz" mentioned as alternatives.
Well,
I just tried both : Nimbuzz does not hear anything from my Titan's microphone and iSkoot wants to call their gateway with a regular phone call, which is long distance for me, so, it's out of the question.
I also do not get any audio with fring on my phone.
Any other ideas before I flash back to DCD 3.2.0?
imo, this was due to an idiotic/crappy/lazy slap wm6.0 code into wm6.1 platform builder move by HTC ... It worked, with some weird side effect on code that uses critical sections it seems... well, not all code... mainly multimedia apps (such as tcpmp). Unfortunately, until HTC fixes the kernel with the correct code, we are out of luck.
3.2.1 and above also broke SRS WOW
it seems the kernel update broke a few media apps...specifically the ones the tried to interface with the audio or mic

the kernels are device specific? i thought they're coded by microsoft and deployed by the manufactures like windows for PCs...that's news to me.
i have been tryin to read everything i can to understand these phones..... this is my first PPC and i have had it about a month. i just figured out the compact framework to 3.5 to get other apps. so please dont flame
on to my question.... i just downloaded the pandora cab from the software thread and everyone is sayin its not a VGA version.....not to sure on that. when i opened the app everything is super small and the pictures are all out of place. am i doin everything right here???

A couple things...
The radio version of your phone (GSM vs CDMA) has nothing to do with the Pandora ap.
Secondly, what everyone is telling you about it not being VGA is correct. That's why the pictures are small and screwy.
That is as good as it gets until they decide to fix it... at least it still works.
thanks for your help.....so can i use apps from just the CDMA thread or i can go to Raphael software and use those too???
It depends on what the application does.
Think of it this way...
Your phone is like a Dell Computer running XP.
Any program designed to run on XP will work, but if the program is strictly for Dell Computers, it will only work if you have a Dell.
CDMA or GSM is like the Dell Computer part of it.
Any application that is designed to run on a PPC/WinMobile will work on your phone.
But if the application is designed for a specific brand... like unlocking the GPS feature on a VZW Touch Pro, or a custom ROM for the ATT Fuze, you don't even think about running it unless you've got that exact model or you're willing to brick your phone.
Hope that helps.

Does the whole song play and if so, please share the version of Pandora you are running and if you have loaded any programs on your phone besides this or not.
Lots of us are having issues with it only playing partial songs and then skipping to the next track.
Thanks!
it doesnt play the whole song everytime...... this is what i used

thanks
My stock rom came with a XM Radio application, that when searching, I can only purchase it. Is there a way I can flash to stock ATT rom, then back that application up, and reflash? Also, where would I find stock ATT fuze rom that has the APP? I found one, but it had no APP. Or, does anyone happen to have a .cab for the XM application?
It is a perilous journey, and one must seek the guidance of a skilled master in the art of .CAB'ing. As one often must go where no man/woman have gone before - to boldy .CAB where no .CAB ... ok I'm getting carried away.
That said, are you sure that the version on the AT&T ROM is unlimited? For some reason, I seem to recall seeing that it had an expiration (time limit).
Loved to be proved wrong on this one and on Shazam MusicID.

I'm with hilaireg on this one - I don't think it's a free app. But it does come in the ROM as a cab, so I can upload it for you if you want to try it.
EDIT: XMRadio.3.0.4.68563_signed.CAB
I installed it, and attached a screenshot of what it says.
Cheers mate, maybe you can also love my question on how to add more icons to my home screen? Like how tomtom added itself? I'd like to throw a SMS on icon on there, and maybe GPS, etc. Or icons on any other screen for that matter, the other tom tom icon is half off the screen, I would like to put it under utilities or something... how can I do all this?
Bleh, I know somewhere i found a place to add/remove a very limited amount of things to the home screen, but I maybe became blind, or it's gone.

If you're referring to the ROM in your sig, i'd suggest posting the question in that ROM thread.
Also, it would be helpful to forum searchers/readers if you could change the subject of the first post to something like:
"XM Radio application from ROM"
Notes Taken.
Hi,
In anticipation of the great work our devs are doing, like porting vanilla 1.6 to Hero, I wanted to put some stock Android apps on my Hero.
The reason for this is; I like the original Android UI better.
I made a list of which Android apps I would like to have on my Hero, I will update the startpost with added howto's, for the people interested.
Ofcourse, I am not capable of doing 'real dev' work, if that was the case, I would try to help port 1.6 to the Hero. But this is all I can do at the moment and I hope I can contribute this way to the community.
[done]
-Home app: download "home switcher" from the Market
[to do]
-sms application
-music player
-calendar
-browser
-cellphone /dialer application
-contact list
-camera application
-albums application
I think if we work together to make the original apps work, we have a viable alternative to a 'real vanilla' android Hero rom. Also I could be more easy to just modify the original Hero roms; when the HTC branded 1.6 and 2.0 will come out, we will know how to switch the apps, which I anticipate to be more easy than porting the kernel, and rebuilding everything, etc
The following stage would be to delete the old apps, and to make Android as clean as possible.
Ofcourse, only for those who want it. A lot of people love the Sense UI and the HTC apps, and that is good. Android is about choice
Also, I will look on how to change the apps, just comment if you know if a certain app can be restored, and even better, if you know how to.
Thanks in advance, everybody!

yeah, it is way easier to set this through application preferences in the phones settings, nothing so special about that.

did you check which of these are modified by htc anyway?
tbh i don't really care for a vanilla android, but afaik at least the camera application is the stock android one even in htc roms...
Yes, I checked all those applications:
In the Application properties you can see that it says "hTC Application" after you press the info key.
And in the application list (from the settings menu) it says "HTC corporation" under all the HTC rebranded apps.
edit: the HTC camera application has a different interface
so does anyone know how to get certain original apps back?
How can i remove the sense interface? I'm on modaco 2.8 but don't know for sure what i can delete
Just try that : http://android.modaco.com/content/h...7/13-08-1-0-modaco-hero-rosie-remover/#entry0
(you can download the zip and see in the rep MANIFEST what the update do and do it in adb shell)
delete SYSTEM:app/Rosie.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/Rosie.odex
delete SYSTEM:app/htcbookmarkwidget.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/htcbookmarkwidget.odex

this is what happens for the update.zip, just do a nandroid backup and try it?
i read in some forum that the camera app was identical, sry for that. did you find actual differences in the application, besides from the htc strings?

Thanks for what what the update.zip changes.
As you can see, it had widget next to everything, which means it only deletes the widget 'front ends' of these applications. It will not restore the stock android apps, like the browser or the music player.
I am trying to contact some Dream-developers/modders as they appear very capable and knowledgeable. They should be able to help us out.
Again, when we learn how to replace the HTC apps, we can have a 'clean' rom in notime, regardless of the android version. For example, if HTC released 2.0, but with sense and all that, we could just delete that, and change out the applications so we end up with a very fast, and clean rom.
I don't have a lot of faith in people porting over/ compiling a fresh, complete and fully working version for the Hero ..
any suggestions
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the htc apps with the stock google android apps on Hero?
The list in the initial post contains all the apps I need.
I find it strange that this is not possible after such a long time. I would really have my Hero all stock Android. I dont like the HTC approach to things. Why is it so hard to replace the HTC apps with stock Android apps?

Partly because not all the stock apps are that easy to get, partly because HTC has stuck their brand on practically everything, and partly because if you replace one you have to replace others, else the apk signatures (especially with shared users and other dependencies) don't match. And if we're talking about the Sprint Hero, it gets even worse, because HTC had to modify the core framework beyond recognition, so that it would work with CDMA (so it's possible that just grabbing a vanilla apk, resigning it, and throwing it on there wouldn't work anyway).
All that is just conjecture though, as I haven't tried any of it aside from the Calendar app (gave up cause it didn't work immediately and I didn't have the time). Maybe I'll have time to try it this weekend and see how much can be replaced.
Great explanation, thanks. I miss Windows Mobile (Phone, whatever) where things like these were much easier to adjust without all this hassle.
If you manage to pull it of you will be my ...erm... Hero.
Yeah, the best of luck!

did you find out anything?
greetings!
Hello.
I really hope this is the right place to ask, if not, move it to an appropriate place
My friend just got her X10Mini Pro, and I really love the home screen she has, and I'd love to have it on my HTC Diamond (XDAndroid 2.1) and I've tried to find out what home/launcher app it is, but I can't find it.
So does anyone know the name of the Home/Launcher and if so, would it work on XDAndroid on a VGA device?
Regards
You can always try to get the home.apk from your friend's x10m, and try that on your device, but I believe there'll be some missings deps, as Se seems to have built its home with a lot of dependencies from other SE stuff... If it's the case, It'll require porting every deps to your device, may be quite a lot of work !
