i really want to upgrade to wm 6.
my htc tytn does seem to run slugish with wm 5.(i have done some updates)
i use the USA cingular network
rom 1.18.255.3
radio 1.35.00.11
protocol ver 32.68.7020.10h
extrom ver 1.18.255.106.
i have done a lot of searching on the forum and have seen some programs have problems. some of these have fixes like slingbox.
i want to make sure that these programs will work after the black 2.5 upgrade. so far black 2.5 seems to be the main one people like.
here is a list of programs i am worried about.
any feed back would be great.
thanks
1.sling box. (will all ver of sling box work witht the patch? what made it stop working? would that effect any other programs?)
2.tomtom ver 6 (i really hope this works still)
3.google earth
4.vnc
5.bluetooth gampad
6.webcamera plus/cool camera
7.Implus
read the wiki and do some searches before posting a new thread please
i have read the wiki for a lot of things and the many new rom updates
and read and searched a good handful of threads.
i am not asking for anything big
just a small yay or nay. on some of the listed programs.
so hence the new thread.

If you actually took the time to read for a while you'd know that with any ROM some apps will be buggy, and then along comes some fixes. Stick with WM5. If you don't have time to investigate what you're getting into, don't waste your time flashing a new ROM unless you know before-hand that you're gonna run into problems. How about this. Try a ROM, add the apps you want. If you run into problems work through them like EVERYONE else, because your configuration wont be the same as someone else's, and IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO READ THREADS you'd already know what apps are buggy with WM6, and the ones not listed you can add if you experience a problem. That's how the whole problem/fix thing works. Sorry. I'm just sick of these threads everyday from people wanting to know some magical setup or which ROM is TEH BESTEST cause they just want a finished product and don't care about the learning process. When you make the jump to flash your device, you become a "tester" like everyone else. It's not rocket science, but it's not finger paints either.

ronfin44,
i "READ" the posts i know there are bugs.(hence the question on the programs)
why would i risk a bricked phone or waste any extra time if some one else has already found out the needed info. most of the programs i asked about are some what common. it would not be so crazy to think there are a few people here that have tried and have some feed back.
based on the feed back i will decide if i want to go farther.
is it too much to come up with a risk analysis before committing to a project?
my god if asking for some feed back on a small list was such a sin why even have a forum.
"Risk annalysis". When you decide to do something like this there's a risk, but an app that may not be "buggy" for one, may be "buggy" for another. Try 2.5, load your apps, and see if everything runs fine. It's usually not the apps that cause problems but the development of the ROM, ie a ton of fixes that follow once one has been released. The apps with a history are posted ALL over this forum. If you haven't seen any of yours then why not try the ROM and see? It's not magic. If you run into a problem, post it and we'll help ya work it out. The forum gets cluttered with so many threads asking questions that could be answered by hanging around and doing a lot of reading and using the search feature. I know the search function isn't perfect, but it works.
Advice; load 2.5, load your apps. Good luck. If you run into some problems, check the 2.5 thread FIRST for an answer, if not, POST IN THAT THREAD about the problems you're having with THAT ROM and people will be happy to help. It just keeps the forum cleaner.
I can report that IM+ 4.3 works without crashes or any downtime, although it drains the battery like a mofo (didn't on WM5), it works 1000x better than it ever did on my 8125 with WM5.0.
Edit: other versons of im+ 4.9 ect. will crash / lock up your hermes on WM6.0 roms so be aware you MUST use 4.3 or higher.
Update: With some fixes, it was Tested and working on a Blackjack two (a widescreen display) i should be able to get some stuff up. If someone has a portrait device they can test on that would be great.
UPDATE:
I added a download link at the bottom. i am getting ready to start working on the server side of things, can a couple of you guys download the program and tell me how the first page looks (scroll bars ect) and what screen size you are using. if you can grab a screen shot that would be great. i need to know what i am working with here as far as how big text needs to be, how images are fitting the page ect THIS IS A VERY EARLY BETA and not completely functional (please do not download yet unless you are testing) I will post when we have a decent functional database going for everyone.
hi guys we are developing an "app store" and would like to further development to smartphones. I know you guy don't frequent the dev and hacking section because alot of stuff there doesn't work for you, so i'm posting a notice here to get your attention.
Basically we need a couple people willing to test and provide some links for some apps we can add (as we, the three people currently developin the app don't have smartphones to test on)
I will try and check up on this thread, but you will probably get better support back in the main thread in dev and hacking, here is the link:

-THIS DOWNLOAD IS FOR TESTING ONLY-

i'll test some stuff
same here- I have a spare MDA and Dash that I can play with and not worry about
well right now we use an embeded browser so it shouldn't trash your device, we are working on an ftp uploader and possibly a downloader (the downloader just doesn't look as nice as what i can do with some html) We're working on that though right now. I have it downloading all the info to a plain old table which is not very excitable on the eyes.
For a starters can you list off some apps, and link me so i can upload them and get things rolling for you guys?

thanks showacco i'll get them up tomorrow afternoon,
and hopefully i'll get that programs section by then lol... i pulled an all nighter last night setting up the new server so i'm going to bed earlly tonight
i have tons of apps...is there a prerequisite that they have to be legal?
jdoggraz has a great mediafire folder FULL (231!) of great apps for the Dash here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=0457d1314f141cc2ab1eab3e9fa335ca49378675f9b7568a
Yes, they need to be legal. and i'll take a look at the mediafire drive, thanks.
Just letting you guys know, i uploaded some stuff but i'm not going to be able to finish tonight... i just had to transfer everything to a new server and doctor up some code. I'll talk to ather about getting some stuff done tonight by him and hopefully we will have something up this weekend
Download link added (the server isn't all set up yet but will be shortly)
See post one.
i got a "404 error the requested document was not found on the server" im running kavana's latest rom not v24 ricky stylez(sorry stylez) the latest version that recentley came out
i think you need to make the windows symbol a little bit smaller its kind of too big, i'll let you know more later i know its not fully completed.
was the error after clicking start?
if so that is correct, i only have one page up so that i know how large i need to make the images (you should not have to scroll side to side) (although you may need to scroll up and down on the smartphone version... unless we change the layout)
Updates:

naughty naughty! I never even looked to see
I just recently bought a Dash as a regular phone/ emulator on the go for cheap.
I started flashing the day of my purchase, testing out different wm6.1 roms.
Some questions I have I think I have the final verdict for, but if anyone would like to share a difference, that would be lovely xD
1. What are t-zones?
[Seriously, I can't for the life of me find this, not even on TMO's site.]
2a. Is there a way to fix the 'Communication Error' in OZ Messenger on roms other then TMO's official rom?
[As far as I've seen, some people say it works if you install it to the device instead of a storage card, but others say it just won't work outside TOM's official roms.]
2b. If not, is there another app that uses SMS for instant messaging?
[I have no data plan, and don't plan on it yet.]
3. What's the [E] at the top of my screen?
[Edge?]
4. How can I add start menu shortcuts?
[Some say just press copy on the file then go to the location and 'paste shortcut' but it's grayed out in the options.]
5. Is Office mobile any good at all?
[Ehh?]
6. I've found a tut to cook roms in another section, but is it phone specific?
[I'm surprised there isn't one stickied.]
I promise, this is the last post of noob questions I'll post haha.
I've read up alot as of late, and this is all I couldn't find solid answers to.

1. t-zones is basically the internet for the phone (not wifi) it connects and does the same as wifi w/o having it on but you will need to pay for unlimited web access from the provider or find a proxy if your too cheaphttp://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Excalibur_WM61tzones
the way t-zones should be set up in wm6.1 start/settings/connections/gprs/
either create a t-zone by selecting menu/add/t-zone
open it up to config
connects to:The Internet
access point: wap.voicestream.com
and dont mess with the others hit done..open PIE then go to menu/tools/options/connections/check the box automatically detect settings/select network- wap network.. and you should be done(i just threw that out there u might already know how to do it)
2a. i don't know never tried it
2b.i'm pretty sure there is u just have to search i remember some later posts saying something about it but dont remember the posts..search use google also b/c theres other forums besides xda like htc has their own forums and etc. http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/
3. do you not have a manuel that came with your phone when you bought it? Displays the network or connectivity status.
4. i'm not a tech support but you can find something about the registry editor that can do this. i'm pretty sure if not shoot me.
5. it's alright.....
6.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396745 tells you how to cook roms for excalibur you should also check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=309 before asking these questions
because theres a bunch of stuff on here that people already asked that shows up in here i take it you never read the wiki for the excalibur before...http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Excalibur
please read this stuff people maybe u won't have to ask and post up aged old questions that already been asked before(NOT TRYING TO BE A PRICK) --found most of this just by using the search forum up above---- or here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php

1. Really, you did not look too hard then, its right on the T-Mo home page, T-zones only supports WAP, basically to purchase ringtones and wallpaper from T-Mo and browse a few sites. T-MobileWeb is replacing T-Zones by the way.
2. Google is your friend, but most IM clients use data not SMS. Oz can be installed, search this forum for the answers. I had it running but use IM+ now instead
3. Yes its Edge, the G is GPRS should you leave an Edge area
4. Get Total Commander, thats the easy way to create start menu shortcuts.
5. The updated Office Mobile is worth it, if you use Windows computer and need to edit / read documents
6. The tut on cooking roms is a good one, and yes it is phone specific for the most part. Again searching this forum will get you the info you need.
Thank you to both of you =D
Everything was answered but the OZ problem. I know it can install, but it does not connect outside TMO's official roms.
Everything else is good tho xD
Thanks.

He's on about OZ IM that uses Text to send messages, it can be set up you just need the correct version and set it up correctly, jdog has helped out loadz of people on the forum with regards this so there must be some info on the forum?
Hi,
On the 14th of March i started a new project called XDA File Server. The purpose of the site is to host files for Dev's and give users a nice spot where they can find them. And so far it's been busy! 1,7TB has been uploaded allready and 11000+ vistors and more then 11000 files served!
The server it self runs on a 100mbit optic fiber line and should provide a decent speed to most people.
On the moment you'll find ROMS for the asus transformer, lg optimus 2x and xperia s (orginal firmware on the moment), i'm still expanding but it takes time and money! Hope you guys/girls like it !
the url: http://www.xdafileserver.nl
You can also follow me on xdafileserver on twitter.
Korumera
*bump*
I'm still working on a easy and clean design so dont panic when you see one design first and a few seconds or minutes an other one, the downloads will go on.
Some stats so far:
almost 1000 unique vistors in only 3 days! 190GB downloaded so that's nice too. If any other dev's need xs let me know. I'll add some stock roms as well by gee one for restoring
Stock recovery might be a good addition as well.

Thanks for the tip
I'll find a good version and add it
Actually now that i think about it a good selection of tools like nvflash, adb, nachoroot, vipermod, drivers, superwipe, CWM 3.something and 5.something, Rogue recovery, other stuff that might be useful. Sort of like a one stop shopping kinda place.
This is such an awesome gesture. Thank you!
Another suggestion: Maybe you can have some pages (or the main pages) on your site link through coralcdn.org by appending .nyud.net to the domain part of your URL. By doing this, for public content, HTTP requests are automatically redirected through a custom peer-to-peer network using DNS and distributed amongst a huge number of caching proxies, reducing the load on the original server as well as bringing content closer (network topologically) to the requester.
Note: I am not connected to coralcdn.org in any way.

Good idea! I'll msg most of these dev's if they are ok with the mirror ( think they are but it's nice to do). And i'll make a folder for these things.
I'm still working on the site to make it as fast as possible for users that are on the other side of the world, but it's not going to be routed trough any dns service of anykind it's on a 100mbit fiber line it should be fast enough and it should support proper download managers (so you could resume).
I'll show some stats from this week later on
I'm in indonesia if that's far enough away for ya. Sometimes it drops out but that's at my end and it still maxes out my 3g.

Ok i've added some other developers roms to the server and i've registerd a new url for it you can now bookmark
http://www.xdafileserver.nl for all your roms!
If you are a dev or know one that needs a place to host their roms let them contact me and i'll see what i can do.
@Moderator Is it possible to sticky this topic? makes it much easier for me to keep people informed!
Ugg getting annoyed tried 15 times to download mar 27 cm9.
Keeps saying file is finished at like 15 megs.
Is there anything going on or is it just me?
edit: seems my 3g doesnt like your server. On a landline it seems to be working well.
Nopes it's running on full speed on the moment. But i'm going to change setup soon so perhaps that will fix it for you
oh and for those on 3g try: THIS and let me know of that works
Moving to a more appropriate place
I find your project very useful.
Do you consider including other devices as well?
Hi
Yes that's the general idea indeed. But i'm starting up slowly with some dev's and adding more while to goes on. First wanna see how much data this is gonna take .
A member of team xperia is uploading some files and is gonna use it for the 2011 range (and the comming 2012) after that i'll find and ask a galaxy 2 dev if he want's to mirror/host the files on my server
Just a note that the word 'you' on the website's main banner should read 'your'. As if you don't have enough to do.
Thanks for your work and such a cool idea for a Site.

I can't figure out how to get this file: http://xda.servebeer.com/TF101/Stock Roms by gee one/With Root/ics_92117_stock_EBT_SOS.zip
It's from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552303
Hi
Try this link HERE
let me know!
Simple (and maybe stupid) question...
I was looking for a rom, and google show me this:
http://www.lollipop-roms.org/mp3-0/acer-iconia-tab-a100-3841.html
Just for curiosity tried to download it, but fail...
Anyway... i don´t believe about that page... but can someone check about it?
Thanks!!!
Since the second line is "I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com" and it is clearly NOT from here, I think you can assume the rest has very little truth to it.
It's definitely fake. The text looks like it's been generated with some bot and just filled in or then copied from another, similar text, and then they just added those scam links. You need to complete a survey which means paying money for like an SMS service or app download that will charge you a lot of money. A friend fell to one of those, and he got 3x45 euros bill from his operator for trying to download a pirated APK through a similar site. He got to the download all right after entering his phone number, but the apk he got was malware that installed ad downloaders and tracking apps on his phone, added shortcuts and sent his logs somewhere to China (Southern China if I remember correctly).
So yeah, anything that looks fishy and is not from a popular, widely-used site like XDA forums or the other similar forums, is mostly always a fake in this case too...
I was also looking for a Lollipop ROM for the Iconia and stumbled upon this, noticed only now how old the thread is, but whatever

Hi there, I still have a A100, very robust tablet, it never gave me any headaches... I recently installed a A500 Omniron 5.1.1 and it booted, went to the initial android setup screen and stucked there because the touchscreen driver does not work on A100... but all buttons, wifi, usb seems to work well, only the touchscreen is the matter... does anyone here knows how to solve that ? I read some threads about compiling the kernel, but if that is the solution I would need tips or help... at least there is yes a light in the end of the tunnel to make A100 work with Lollipop 5.1.1....

Yeah it's a good little device!
Impressive that they work! Bluetooth too?
The last time I compiled the kernel was for Android 2.3.7 and that was ages ago But you could maybe try to find the touch driver location on the device through ADB shell (exploring it's contents) or the downloaded package. Then after that's found, you could try pushing the working drivers from an earlier version, like 4.3, through ADB also and then reboot the device to see if it does anything! I can't for my life remember how they're supposed to be put there the real way but this is just a quick thought..lol.. anyone else have ideas?
