Myn's Donut Bluetooth questions for a noob - Touch CDMA Android Development

Greetings all.
been curious to try android on my sprint touch vogue for a while, and made the jump this week. Got most everything working and it's sweet. The best thing about running android? My touch died, won't charge any more, so I was able to get my bro-in-law's touch, since he ditched it a few weeks ago...for a droid phone!
Anyway, on to the questions. To start with, running the newest version of Myn's donut. I've been trying to read as much as I can, surf, etc, so I have some vague ideas about this all...
1) What is the real difference between the two ways of running on an sd card? am I correct in thinking that doing the norootfs (or whatever) will allow me to install updates? anything else?
2) I tried running bluetooth, and it does the "starting" thing for 5 seconds, then turns off. I found here that I need to install the newest .nbh, but I want to get a better idea what that encompasses.
I downloaded voguimg-320x480-06-04-10.nbh (is that the correct file I'd need?), but i'm stuck after that.
So, can someone point me to the best guide or walk through to get this working at this point? let me know the risks, need-to-knows, and caveats. I'd rather not brick the thing.

norootfs is not the main way to use android on the vogue, that's just how it's done now

Thanks!
So am i correct in the file I downloaded?
and what's the best way to run Android on the vogue, short of doing a full flash?

for a newbie i would follow myn's guide to doing Haret through WinMo

I guess my question is, i'm doing the SQSH method...is that the best way?

I can't say either way, as i've never done SQSH, but the norootfs/haret way is definately easy

I'm a noobie to Android on Vogue as well, so I might as well post here. I have no problems installing, that was easy for me. But Myn's Warm Donut has some weird navigation. The power button at the top unlocks, the green call button activates the dialer, the hang up button activates sleep mode, and the d-pad navigates. tl;dr: I can't figure out for the life of me how to go back/to the home screen/etc.

touch screen slows down, but not on the 6700.

I was explaining this to Menneisyys, on the kaiser when u touch the screen the framerate drops severly, but on the 6700 this doesnt happen. would there be some sort of driver we can take from the 6700 and actually fix this??
see here, a screenshot of my devicce when touching the screen. ignore the line that reaches 100%, but that one that passes 75%, that's when i touched hte screen and held it for about 20 seconds.

}
if we could find someone with a 6700 that could get the driver, our problems might be solved? so if you have a 6700 or can find someone with a 6700 that would be great!
Could this high CPU use be related with sensitivity being set at different levels ?
(comparing the reg key between the two maybe...)
i want to confirm this on spv m3100 (htc hermes). When i play any game, when i touch the screen, frame rate drops significantly making those games which rely on touch screen hard to play,

nah sensitivity has nothin to do with it. i tried COD2 when i first got the kaiser with the AT&T rom (which the sensitivity sucked), and it was slow. then i tried with the htc rom (with good sensitivity) and it was the same.
Is this because of the TouchFlo ? Can try disabling the TouchFlo and try again.
XV-6700
I have an XV-6700 from Verizon! If there is something you guys need drop me an email at [email protected] with clear directions as to how to get to, and copy what you need. As you can tell I am a noob at all this, the only thing I have done is a few reg edits. Dont know jack about ROM's or anything like that.

cool v8s10chevy. well to start off with, have you played any games on your 6700 using the touchscreen? ill send you an email right now about making a benchmark like the one i did.
menneissys? do you know someone that has cooked 6700 roms and can find this file?

close all app

Is tere a small program (kind of like vibra switc) that if you pres it, it just closes all programs like instead of going to start_settings_system_memory_close all. i'd like to assign it to a button. thanks
wktask has that built in its features. You can either do a gesture to do close all or just hold the top corner(where the x would be) to close all programs.
its free at http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
It's in my original TyTN II without any custom ROM.

Thanks. I already have the HTC manager but i want to ditch it because it's really slow. I just want a really simple 1 icon program that shuts off all current running programs. Basically i assignt it to the PTT button and it shuts it all off. I don't want a separate manager that does it, i already have that. Thanks
So there's no such app?
this is what you want, I along w/many others use it and it's great, the close all is just a small feature of what it does. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wktask-v1-1-7-3b.html
Thanks for the link, but not what i want. Just a simple close all program (few kb's) is what i'm looking for.
for me i once used "zapIT!"
but i guess since i´m running netcf3.5 it is not working anymore and freezing your device.
you can assinge it to a hardwarebutton also...

This is what i am looking, well something like it that works. I tried it out. I had some programs opened and i ran "Zapit" however my programs stayed running and didn't stop them all. Any idea?

my fault. for me it also runs only ap by app. it makes possible to get the "x" on a hardware button.
even if it was annoucend in the thread i got it to close ALL apps. never did for me - yes you´re right.
but i like the function of assinging...
Ah i see. I use aebutton plus for what you are talking about. I have a long press of the Ok button to close the app. But i need one that stops all current running apps.

Diamond Tweaker ruined my phone!!

Ok, it's not that big of a deal, but I want the stock TP dialer back!
When I installed Diamond Tweaker on my TP, I got this dialpad!

}
(Its gray buttons and a white background and no Yoshi, but I DON't WANT THIS ONE! It turned my Vibration when the person i called picked up the phone off!)
How can I get rid of this one? If there is any way by doing a Hard Reset it would be grealy appritiated!!
Open Diamond Tweaker and go to item "1.8 Phone Pad Style", make sure you have Diamond(Default) select at the bottom and not Windows Mobile Standard.
Then do a soft reset.
I think that should fix your problem.
come on, if it's not a big deal, don't say it RUINS your phone. And if you don't know how to use the Diamond Tweaker to change the dial pad, why install it in the first place?

Why are you so negative? I mean COME ON!!! I don't want this dialer, I want the stock one!
And I do know that it says this, But I use the Norwegian Diamond Tweaker, and the name Phone dial pad or anything like that isn't there! It has a totaly different name, which I don't - IN ANY WAYS - Assosiate with the Dialpad!
Also! I've checked every options (Inkluding this one MANY THIMES!) And non of them are changing this to the "Normal" dialpad.
Also the soft reset did not work.
On 1.8 (In norwegian Grensesnitt) it says Windows and Diamond, I've tried both, with Soft reset.. The same dialpad on both! hmmm
Could be a bug. You should go to the diamond tweak website and post about it.

Yeah, I did. Didn't work
The worst thing is that I haven't used my phone for even 2 months! hehe, but this was my first Hard Reset and let's say that before I reseted it, it was just a trying of phone
So; I have now Hard Reseted the phone - Just for the record
But thanks, I guess it was all fu**** up, since a stock dialpad .cab did not work! hehe
But really, thanks You guys are the best

HTC_IME?

I came upon this keyboard yesterday, and loved it... apart from one thing. It works perfectly except it's distorted. I'm guessing it was made for a different resolution than our Vogue's?
I'm also wondering if anyone has a version that looks good on the Vogue?
Here's what I'm talking about:

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong but I think eclair builds are using that keyboard?
Also, Plemen's might be too.
i have several versions to try but i cant get the keyboard to change after i install it. i even went into settings and checked touch input. what am i doing wrong

If you have the default keyboard open, hold down on the "?123? and select "Input Method" when it pops up.
Or, hold down on any text field and the same menu should pop up.
Then just select the new keyboard.
I have this keyboard and it works great! Plus on myn's build the vibration is increased somehow

Is this keyboard in one of Myn's themes? Or did you add it somehow? If you added it, do you have the .apk? Can you post it? Thanks.

No, it's not from myn's. There are a bunch of different versions. Try searching HTC_IME on the forums or on Google.
I believe it's made for 320x480, so I'm looking for a 240x360 version. Unfortunately I've had no luck.
I think if someone could get it out of a Sense 240x360 (Tattoo?) build it would work perfectly.
I can get you HTC_IME from Vilrod's SenseTattoo build, but it is not deodexed and I am not sure which framework file do I need to provide for it work on Google Donut.

If you can send me the file that'd be great. I think I know someone who can deodex it for me.

[Q] New Voice Search with Commands question

Sorry, I know that there are explanations on other device forums, but I can not for the life of me make this work and its driving me mad.
Someone please tell me if I have to have data plan to do this and it will save everyone a lot of time.
I use titanium to remove the google search/voice search/voice dialer
reboot
install new google search/voice search from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753097 (which is the only place I could find the apks.) and it should work as everyone has said... but every time it gives me connection error. Does it really need internet access to send a text message??? Generally it wont even let me finish talking before it says it.
Am I screwed by not having a data plan, or is there a way around this?
I am using vogue with incubus's 2.2 super froyo rls 12.
Thanks for your time.
I dont know the new voice commands.
But usually it uploads your recorded voice, than the google servers will try to find out what you said and than give you back the text or now the text and the actions the phone has to do.
So you need data for voice commands but not for sending a sms or something.
Correct me if im wrong.

Unfortunately, it DOES require a data connection...
But for anybody who has data, here's how I got it working...
No need to uninstall/remove anything
- Install/Update "Voice Search" from the Market. I couldn't get Google Search to install.
- Open Voice Search.
- When the window appears with the things you can say it doesn't show the whole window. I think there's 2 buttons at the bottom that you can't see. How I got past this was to press Down 4 time, Left once. This will select the "ok" or whatever button, and you won't have to do it anymore.
EDIT: Here's the pic I posted in the other thread to help anybody else.

THANK YOU. You just made my weekend. I couldn't figure out how to get past this
Another way around the startup dialog is to start it in landscape mode. The dialog fits in landscape mode. But I'll try to fix the portrait dialog with some apktool magic anyway.
