You using any widgets that cut the APN? It will say _off when you use those.

Think it may have been a bug with SwitchPro Widget. I had to edit the APN and remove the _off.

Booted it with a blank (newly formatted) card, still got the same - will try reflashing later.

On a side note, the Sparta ROM has only one wallpaper built in, where do I have to put them to get them to appear in the "Wallpaper gallery" option to change them? What size should they be?

You can select wallpapers from your pics folder on your SD card. Checkout Zedge on the market for Wallpapers and Ringtones. Free and there is some amazing artwork, much better than the defaults.

In other news, my battery is improving (I'm on Sparta).

Got 33 hours unplugged so far, with moderate usage, 54%. :eek:

Can't fault that.

Yeah, but was just wondering where their default location was - only one is appearing without having to search my card?

I moved across a 1900x1200 but think that was too big! What size am I going for?

Robbo · 11 Jun 2010 at 10:51

960x800 I think gumbald.

640x480 to 960x800 and 960x850

are the various sizes. Try those

Yes, you can choose what contacts to display via Group display so in Gmail just create a new group called "Phone" and when on the phone click Contacts (People) and the Groups tab (2nd tab) and just delete the groups you don't want to view contacts for.

I just use 1280*800 which is normally available on most wallpaper sites, when you set as wallpaper on the phone it lets you crop it to the right size.

Just a little warning so no-one makes the same mistake as me. My phone came from MPD that was supposed to be unbranded but had a Virgin Media Scene. No problem as I just changed it and it was fine. I then updated it with the OTA update and wondered if the Virgin scene would disappear. It hadn't and I accidentally selected it. This caused the Sense Launcher to go into a continual force close loop that nothing could get me out of. Restarting, changing the scene, deleting the sense data, etc. In the end I had to factory restore and I hadn't backed anything up except my contacts.

On the plus side doing a factory restore leaves it on the current update but deletes the Virgin scene.

I have my phone default set to Charge on the USB. Everytime I connect the phone it says charge but mounts the SD. If I select Charge again it unmounts the SD. Pretty sure this did not happen with the stock rom. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm running Pays BraveSoul V2.0, only issue I can find. Not major just a pain.

Testing RomManagker which does the whole wiping/flash process for you straight from the app. Just choose the rom and away it goes.

This is excellent. So easy to use. 5 stars.

Out of interest, got DoubleTwist installed? There's an option in that.

They are trying to get everyone using it over on XDA for new ROMS etc, will try it later after the football

antijoke · 11 Jun 2010 at 12:42

Is that romflasher any good then? Do I need to root my device first? How hard is it to root? Can I keep the current FW I have or do I need to have a hacked one?

Robbo · 11 Jun 2010 at 12:49

I'm unsure about whether you need root, at a guess I'd say you do.

Edit: Search ROM manager on the market place, and read the description, you do need root.

Methanoid · 11 Jun 2010 at 13:10

Arrgh - can someone tell me the best places to get one of these... I cannot find the post I had noticed in this monstrous thread.

Looking for a cheapo package with T-Mo probably for data, £15-25 a month?

EDIT: Found it...

I have and it was. Many thanks my friend

This is for people using Sparta. I use the HTC Email app for accessing my pop3 account. Is this in the Sparta release? I don't want to use Gmail for accessing my pop3.
