I apologise if anyone has answered this one previously. I did do a surch, but the results have been pretty inconclusive, mostly returning threads that are asking the very question that I am about to ask, which is this:
Does anyone have an answer to the missing wallpapers problem that is affecting some Froyo ROMs? I have an unbranded and rooted Orange Desire, and have recently installed a couple of Froyo ROMS (in particular this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775 and a similar one from Paul over at MoDaCo - I'm not a great fan of ROMS cooked to within an inch of their lives, and prefer to stick as close to stock as possible), yet when I go to Settings -> Personalize -> Home Wallpaper -> HTC Wallpapers they are all missing.
The wallpapers appear to be sitting in /system/customize/resource but the Home Wallpaper section can't see them. I do know that they were not in the /system/customize/resource location on 2.1.
Is there any way of getting them back so that they can be selected in Home Wallpaper?
I take it that's a "no", then?

Have you made any progress on this? I have the same problem.
regards
Same problem, i made some requestsin several forums and I don't have an answer
I had this problem with the rom from paul and had also posted a thread about this (also no reply)
Heres my post, giving the full background...I shall post the fix afterwards...
Hi Paul,
First of all, many thanks for the great rom. Its fast, stable, and has been a pleasure to use.
I do have one problem, however, and was hoping you would have a idea.....
I bought the phone from a third party phone shop in Madrid and it came with 2.1 installed. There was only English (german), English (Switzerland), and french language variants installed - no native English, and no Spanish languages at all shown in the languages menu.
(Bit of an oversight for a Spanish shop to buy phones without Spanish, but i digress)
I suspect that phone was imported from German/french region countries, and this does seem right as the box has german writing on it...
By default after installing the 2.2 rom from this thread (rooting beforehand and then installing the appropriate radio) there was only English (German), English (Switzerland), as with 2.1 - Exactly the same.
Originally I installed the locales list from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=locales), cleared the Customization Settings Provider data, and after force closing had all of the extra required languages....Great. Result.
However, I noticed that all of the wallpapers were missing, although the live wallpapers exist. Odd I thought....I took a look using adb and could see all of the wallpapers in system/customize/resource.
So, I reinstalled the same rom again, as I was not sure exactly when the wallpapers had gone missing (when applying the locale patch, wiping the data afterwards, etc)...After installing the ROM again I could see all of the wallpapers
So this time I though I would ONLY clear the Customization Settings Provider data, and force close, without installing the locales list patch first.
I did this and I could again see the English languages, Spanish, and many more.
However, again, all the static wallpapers were missing. And again I can see them in the directory in adb.
Can you shed any light on why clearing the Customization Settings Provider data, and after force closing, causes the wallpapers to disappear, even though they are seen in the directory ?
All the wallpaper files are set up with the following permissions:
-rw-r--r--
If I use astro to look at the directory contents I can see the pictures of all the wallpapers, so they are readable from within froyo.
I am thinking that some cache needs clearing or something. I cannot see, however, what the customization settings provider has to do with the wallpapers !
I'm using live wallpapers at the moment but would like to choose defaults if possible. also if I want to sell the phone I would like it to work completely !
for the record I did install your rom a few days ago, did install the locale zip and it did show the wallpapers (although not initially - they appeared all of a sudden and I have no clues why). However, up to press, with the new install I did last night, there are no static wallpapers at all.
I could not see anything obvious in the logcat when entering the menu for the HTC wallpapers.
Kind regards,
James.
And the fix (well or me at least)...
1. reinstall the rom from paul, In used the non radio deodexed version (DONT REBOOT AT THIS STAGE)
2. installed the locales zip from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=locales
3. reboot at last
4. You should then have the options for all languages (you might have already without the locales zip - but if not for installing the locales zip I would only have had the default languages as shown in my above post)
5. You should then (fingers crossed) have the wallpapers )DO NOT CLEAR Customization Settings Provider data as this is what appears to be what looses the wallpapers.
Now I´m not saying that this is the fix for you What I can say, however, is that had EXACTLY the same problem on pauls ROM after clearing the Customization Settings Provider data, with or without the locales zip
I have now performed the above twice and it worked both times -Just might remember NEVER to clear Customization Settings Provider data
You may of course not wish to use a rom such as pauls. However, I don't want bells a whistles (Actually tried a more customized rom before and found it to be slower)
Hope this helps,
James.

other than the obvious benefits of doiing this will it also remove the t-mobile splashes?
Well, this version seems more stable than the stock Orange rom....
for example, when in the compose sms section, when typing someones name in...rather than doing "correction" style numbers, it actually has a drop-down list with names and numbers.
Seems faster, overall, and nice to have standard set of bookmarks!
Will report more in due course.

My Orange Hero does and has always done that.
Paul, any chance of a real dummies guide in how to do this please ? Why the need to download your archive and also the patched one ? Or am I missing something ?? Sorry all this hacking is very new - with Nokia you just change the product code to allow you to update to the latest firmware.
At the time of an HTC update for the Hero, I can guarantee Orange will take weeks and months and more likely never approve the update... and to have these bug fixes would be essential to ensuring continued please with my Hero.
All done don't no if its in my head but it now seem more responsive compared to the Orange flavour.
Thanks Paul
Hmm I got this nandroid working but I could root / access as superuser on my hero anymore, and re-rooting it doesn't work. Any idea?
edit - Sorry, it was my fault, forgot to enable USB debugging after the flash, silly me!.

I'm glad you mentioned it... I have noticed a difference too.. I have also noticed a longer battery life... I have disabled 3g and have removed BBC widget and am using my phone as normal now (not using it every 2 mins cos I love the phone!!!)

Hello all,
I need a bit of help
I've flashed and rooted the XXJPK as in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790686
The problem I have is that after I rooted the phone I've done a not-so-smart thing
Without even thinking I replaced the "/system/app/Swype.apk" and "/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so" with the multi-language files from JP1 (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7412595&postcount=73)
To my unpleasant surprise now Swype crashes
Goes without saying that -- in good old hacking tradition -- I didn't backup the original files first
So, the cry for help is:
1) Can some kind soul post the original (above two) Swype files in the XXJPK so at least I have a functioning Swype (even if it doesn't have the swedish language....)
2) Even better -- if a fellow swede (or scandinavian... ) that managed to get the swedish input in Swype in XXJPK, can you please post the files (apk / library) you are using ?
Thanks a bunch in advance for the help !!!
Moving on....
I've managed to find a Swype WVGA version with support for the swedish language (google: Swype WVGA svenska)
I removed the previous existing Swype-relevant files:
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/app/Swype.opex
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
After a reboot I managed to installed the .apk version above.
The showstopper now is that I cannot switch to this input method: When I hold on a text entry field and selecting "Input Method" only "Samsung Keyboard" shows up (but no Swype)
Any input ?
(And applogies to the forum admins as this become off-topic for ROM development -- however, the fact that "Swype" is missing from "input method" should be vaguley relevant . Thanks for understanding)

I use the the JP1 file. You find the link to download on Swedroid. Its in the Galaxy S forum.Some thread about Q&A. Good Luck
It worked for me with JPK several times
I found the answer in the mean time (posting here for the record):
Under: Settings -> Locale and text activate Swype; change the settings as desired (language, etc).
Switch to Swype via the "Input Method" radio button selection when inputing text (tap and hold on a text input box).
Hope this will help others as well
Well this guy, DocRambone, most surdenly knows how to do it. Cause he did in his modded ROM, the superlite version. I just checked Swype settings again and it has swedish, danish, norway, uk, us etc. - all the languages are there.
Try out his ROM - so far it's working really perfect

hi
after i the new market installed automatically now its not working and show force close , when i uninstall the updates it work .\
any Solution?
thanks.
You can leave the market updates and carry on with an earlier version of the market.
It has the same content, it's just in a different layout. Plus many people prefer the old layout, so you won't be alone.
Or
You can search the thread of the ROM you're using and see if anyone has a fix for this same problem. If you can't find anything, ask in the thread.
You're probably to get better help there, since it's very likely someone else has encountered this same problem with the ROM and replies are a whole lot quicker on there.
Good luck!
i uninstall the updates a few minutes will automatically instal the updates.
thanks.
Im not sure if something funny is going on (Maintenance maybe) as i flashed my phone a week ago and the new market installed fine flashed yesterday and still no auto update to the new style market maybe they pulled the update for the time being? can any one confirm?
If you want, you both could try finding the .apk for the new style market (it'll be on these forums somewhere) and install that over your current one.
I'm not really an expert in this, I'm just advising you based on what I would do.

Well all I can suggest is that you ask in the thread of the ROM you're using.
Thank u , but when i applied revolution Hd Rom the problem solved , i think the problem is in superuser.apk ,
It might not be related but there is a little bug in some of the MIUI roms where the Market crashes which is easily fixed by going to Settings - Language & Input and choosing English (even if the phone is already showing English). It then changes from EN to English (United States) and the problem is solved. It is covered in the FAQ of those roms. You might try something similar for your situation and rom in the future.
Hi, I have a newbie question about android
Recently I've bought a new galaxy w. I've turned it on and figured out that it has a support of English and Malaysian language.
I'm a russian native speaker, so I would like to change a ui to russian language.
I mean not just being able to type sms in russian, but the whole ui (like application names, menues, and so on).
So, I would like to know how conceptually it can be done?
Is it just a matter of changing some locale related files or I need to install something?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer and sorry for the late reply
I've installed this application, but it seems like it provides only partial solution.
I saw that some applications really were named in russian (like google maps and google play)
But it did nothing with menus and icons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, and so on).
When I chose Settings -> Language I don't see russian language and I guess this is the problem. I understand that more locale application only changes the locale and its good enough for applications having internationalization support by themselves but it doesn't affect the whole UI language of the system.
The issue looks deeper than only installing the right locale.
Meanwhile I've read about different ROMs available. I'm still vague on details but can ROM installation resolve the problem? If so, what ROM should I install?
Some more details that can shed some light:
- I'm located in Israel and the phone is bought there
- Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXMLM3-CL1103265
[email protected] #3
-Baseband version
I8150DXLC1
- Android version 2.3.6
-PDA I8150 DXLM3 (to obtain this I used *#*#1234#*#*)
Disclaimer, I'm quite a technical guy (programmer with ~15 years experience) so stuff like rooting the phone and installing custom modes of os version doesn't scare me, I just only never dealt with android phones
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi,
After reading and learning a little bit, I've tried to root the device, but with no luck
I tried all 3 methods I've found
here
but no one didn't really work
I'm quite sure I did everything like it was explained.
In the first method it wrote me the the update.zip was installed successfully, but after the reboot the phone wasn't rooted.
I've paid attention that in logs (accessible through recovery console there are a lot of messages of type:
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state - looks like its an invalid path.
So any help will be appreciated here
Thanks
OK. It looks like after a couple of hours I've got a root access to the phone.
Thought someone can be interested...
I've used the first method and it didn't work.
I've made factory reset (also available in recovery console) and then came across mounting option in menu.
So I've mounted everything I could there and then re-applied the update.zip. Rebooted the phone and now it seems to have a root access (I have a superuser application).
Now the next challenge will be installing the ROM with russian language native support (in android jargon "flashing" ) with Odin.
I've downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. And planning to use this tutorial
And I believe I'll be happy with my russian language
Since my experience with this stuff now is impressive _one_ day, so
could someone point me whether i'm in the right direction at all?
Thanks
Install the latest firmware XXLM8, i think it support russian language via the tutorial how to install via odin, then u will need to use the first method to root the firmware again...thats all

Hello everybody,
Warning: The following paragraphs (may) contain grammar errors. Please make yourself a LOL if you find one. -- A just-passed-exam Englsih learner from China.
I want to remove all the crap wares integrated in the system(stock ROM) that is modified from Desire 600 for ChinaUnicom. That's also why my phone is called 606w.
I've searched some Chinese phone forums. It is said that the system kernel of 606w stock ROM is somehow protected and that these crap apps cannot be removed even if you are an root user. Some guy posted a tool for deleting them, as an recovery like windows PE stuff on PC. But I don't really want to install another recovery. Some other guy, interestingly, wrote "It's more efficient than deleting them by using adb" in the same thread.
So I want to know if it is possible to delete them under the kernel protection and how to do it. It's better if I don't need to unlock the bootloader.
Oh, by the way, another doubt: how to change my power on and off animation. The ChinaUnicom icon really sucks. Could someone upload the original Desire 600 version, either one in Chinese or English is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

By the way will 606w work on 600 ROM?
I also have 606w my main problem is that some of the applications crashes after I enable encryption!!!
E.g. Google Earth - crashes
Chrom (after update crashes, wthout update works)
Flash player (sama as Chrom, afyter update crashes, without update works).
etc.
Does any one know why the apps crash without any notification to the user?

What do you mean "enable encrytion"?
I just installed google service via GMS installer. Let google play handle the update stuff.
By "enable encrytion" I mean enabling the option Settings -> Storage -> Phone storage encryption.
Does any one has the same problem?
After fiddling with my 606w for a week, I'm going slightly mad. The boot animation of the stock rom is intrusive, and the chinese apps and settings are just plain annoying.
I've succesfully loaded spawns 600 images on my 606w, and on the custom roms, all of the chinese crap is gone. However, I now have no gps. I've use fastergps to set the ntp, used clocksync to set the clock. The device just doesn't see any sattelites.
I noticed a difference in the gps settings. On the stock 606w rom, the is an extra setting to enable disable agps, which is absent in the 600 roms. I guess that behind the scenes the 600 and 606 are a little more different than they appear.
If any of the xda gurus have any tips on getting gps to work, that would be greatly appreciated.
