Installation help

I am trying to install nghianga's rom, but anytime the installation ends normal (seems to), but the S200 only ends up in bootloader mode and whatever I try, it doesn't change. I have read a few posts about this problem, but I did't find any solution.
I know that I am not an experienced Prophet user, but I would like to have some installation help with this. Also I can't find the NB_Update_nghianga rom, maybe it works better with this one.
thx

The same for me.... please can help us?

You MUST downgrade to a relevant v2.2 ROM first, then upgrade
JD

Sorry JD, I tried this too, no success!

Maybe try going back to a 2.2 and try then to install smart1's Excellent clean rom and see if this works, then think about the other rom?
JD

Thanks JD. I managed to install smart1 clean rom, bt this has some problems for me. I posted a message a few minutes ago in the large wm6 thread.
This is my post:
I installed this rom, since it is the only wm6 rom that I can install. I installed this rom starting from a factory released 2.20 rom. Here are a few problems.
1) error message that timewizard.exe can't be started, i csan't find any relation pointing to this app
2) IRDA (infrared) does not work, same problem as in the aku 3.3.b1 jesterz rom
3) Photocontacts pro does not work properly
4) I can add my BT headset, bt it doesn;t work with my phone
5) SMS backp doesn't work ( also not in aku 3.3 b1)
6) a number of other apps don't work (calendar+ for instance).
7) Sync with outlook doesn't work, even more after my first try to sync, all contacts, phone history and speed dial gone!
Do we have to wait for a better rom or has anyone found soltions?

Don't forget this is a WM6 file, there will be a lot of programs that do not run correctly, this is not a problem of the rom, but more a problem of the software you are trying to install. Try to play with the ROM clean after a hard reset and install a little at a time

Arabizer Problem

EDITED
just found anoher thread about it soz, pls mod remove this

ahassouna said:
Hi all:
i've been playing around with some ROMS lately; some of us do use the arabizer application which enables you to read and write arabic language and also installs some other minor arabic programs on your device.
i have noticed some issues with some ROMS and need help in solving them, here are my observations:
Diamond Roms till V8 work with arabizer, but ofcourse the keyboard issue doesn't allow you to use the arabic keyboard and you need to install the IM default cab to get it to work.
Death Roms till v4.1 do not work at all; you just get install unsuccessfull even before it starts to install on first block, tried:
1- install from fresh upgrade didn't work
2- install from hard reset did not work.
3- installed net cf 2 and chose as default, did not work
4- installed net cf 3.5 on cf 2 and chose 3.5 as default did not work
5- tried on another handset still doesn't work
6- tried intsall on SD card
iat first i thought it was framework issue but i think it's not, it has to be something in the core which i know nothing about.
tried the ryV5 rom also has the same problem as death roms and would not install.
Can anyone help find a solution to this please as it would be great to get it to work on death and ryV5 roms and should be intresting to know why such application would not work, it might help in near future for other applications.
note: i chose to make a thread about this as i cannot post same question in each ROM thread
Regards,
Hasso

I have installed In4mobility software on all of the cooked 6.1 ROMs and it is running fine. The only issue I have is it always defaults to Arabic Keyboard, even when in same session but switching between programs. Other than that it is running great. I would install on Main Mem,,,,, avoid installing on SD card, it will become buggy, and might cause freezing.
Do a search for Informobility software. It is not that expensive.

i know it works but not the keyboard, and it crashes the device n regular bases and makes it really slow
imaginet arabizer is always the best choice

Opera and Flash

I have been trying to get flash sites working with the Opera version installed on TD2. I have tried Installing flashlite v3 and macromedia flash and nothing happens.
I reverted back to the previous Opera which i used on my TD1 with Flashlite v3 and that didnt work either.
Any ideas is appreciated.

i did everything u said and more (had to hard reset a few times after installing various builds of opera) but still nothing works.
I`m starting to think i have a better chance working on IE then on Opera - as it seems IE is forwarding to Streaming Videos program (this is not valid for all sites but still some work with IE)
anyway, I would rly appreciate a solution to this also

The Diamond2 I got has Flashlite 3 in rom and it works with PIE (albeit a bit slowly) but not with Opera 9.5 (build 16277). I checked with different Opera versions and builds but it seems there is no solution: the choice is a crappy browser with flash or a decent browser without.
Now Opera 9.7 is almost here, but flash support is uncertain. It seems that the combination of MS, Adobe and Opera will go on with these absurdities.

Why don't you use skyfire???

i did try with skyfire and didn`t work

what is PIE ? could u please give us a link
also my ROM did not have Flashlite 3 installed so i had to manually add it - after that i tried both with IE and Opera and nothing worked
there is also a flash player for mobile version - that does not work either

Are you sure? To check you need a file explorer that can show files in ROM (the standard file explorer can not), for example Resco Explorer.

It might be that you overwrote the original Flashlite 3 installation. You could try to unistall it or better to hard reset but I do not know if every kind of ROM has it installed. At any rate as I said in my phone flash worked only in Internet Explorer not in Opera.

could you please try the link below with u`r device, using IE and tell me if it works ?

No they don't. There's a placeholder with a Flash 9 logo and if I tap and hold it a pop up menu appears to select between showing About Flashlite 3.1 ActiveX (that's definitely installed) and full screen.
I suppose Flashlite can not play every Flash 9, but only some kinds (for example I tested many videos on www.la7.it). Another variable to complicate the mess...

ya just like you said fot me also. all this sux as the main reason for getting this phone,was to be able to look at that site in better conditions.

i have flash working on my Opera just fine guys.
just follow the next instruction CAREFULLY
download......
http://rapidshare.com/files/234045416/Opera_Flash.rar
then in the registry do the following.... VERY IMPORTANT or ur battery level will drop.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Preload]
"RealExit"=dword: 1
&
[HKLM\Software\HTC\PushInternetEngine]
"Enable"=dword: 0
see u later

Thanks for the hard work!

this does not work on TD2 - furthermore, i had to hard reset after installing this built of opera as there is no way to uninstall it and it is VERY slow compared to the default build
did I say that flash videos do not work even with all this hasttle ??
TeDev, please try this link and press any of the dates on the left, does it work with u`r mobile or just the PC ??
http://85.9.12.243/a3/watch3.php?year=2009&month=5&day=25&show=bizbazar
p.s. the opera build u linked above was made for Blackstone and altho u can install it on Topaz i don`t think it is fully compatible (at least it was not with my default ROM)
thx

Hi I have the same problem with my Htc diamond 2 : IE is o.k no problem whatsoever to open streaming video , while Opera 9.5 cannot open it.
My Sony Xperia now is perfectly ok after couple of problems due to installing RealOne Player ( don't do it) I had to reset the phone. HTC Diamomnd 2 Regarding the bag of Opera 9.5 I know that around in xda developers there is a gay that fixed the problem, I found it 10 days ago but at the time I didin't try...I remember that was not so simple....not extremely difficult but enough to loose bit of time. I will do a double check in my system and if I found the link I' let you know.

Which is the default built for the diamond 2 WWE and where can i find it ?
I moved to the opera with the flash but want to go back to the original version because it looks that it is slower.

You didn't need to install Flashlite?

opera 15529 works good with flash.

No. It is already in the device... Try to visit a Flash site with PIE, and you will see that it works; the problem is that Opera does not support it.
Well, with this hack, the Opera does support it, too!

[Q] Where can I find the exact same Opera 9.7 that is included in the stock ROM?

Hello!
I'm not sure if this is a silly question, but here it is:
Where can I find the EXACT same Opera 9.7 that is included in the stock 1.66 ROM? I've installed a good custom ROM that doesn't include Opera. Only IE.
Tried to download a couple of versions here. But they either didn't work or were slow and buggy. None of those that worked had pinch to zoom in them. Would it be possible to somehow extract it from the official ROM or something?
Thanks!

Hi, I've posted a couple of Opera 9.7 version in this forum in the last week. I wanted to search for them, but this forum is so slow at the moment that you must do it yourself. (BTW don't install the 35801 build. You have to have a working 9.7 copy on your HD2 for that installation-package)
These builds are not exactly like the one you had on your 1.66 rom, but are updated newer versions. Function-wise they are totally the same (pinch-and-zoom support etc.) though.

Hi!
Searched for your posts and found the "Opera 9.7 build 9_70_35758_0". I'm gonna give it a try.
Should I install the 35801 build after installing this BTW?
Thanks alot!
EDIT: Hmm.. no luck. After installing that package, I did a soft reset (just in case) and tried to access internet via manila. It gave me a small white box in the center of the screen, and after a while it would disappear. Any ideas?

Try the attached cab (maybe you have to install the opera cab file again after installation of this)
And yes, you can install 35801 after installation of build 35758

Cool i tried it and the opera now really works! Thanks a ton for your help appelflap!
So if anyone else wonders, I first installed the "Operah Windows_dir.cab" (after soft reset), then the build 35758 and finally the 35801. This one's not slow at all. Very nice work!

Yes, works great, but don't install the somewhere mentioned registry restauration (Opera Restore Registry.cab).
I installed it first and then multitouch zoom didn't work.

I dl'd this, put on sd card, tried loading it through ROM Mgr... didn't work. Then I tried loading it through Astro Folder and I get "Error Directory._Flash_v10.1.92.8.apk.zip could not be loaded"
Then I removed the current version of Flash and tried again... still didn't work (so now I'm without Flash all together).
I am running SkyRaider Vanila 2.5... any suggestions?

It works fine and it's not a .zip
Just tested and audio/video lags much worse than previous

This doesn't work with Hulu either.

OP:
What did you test this apk on to determine that it was fully functional?

I'm the poster from the N1 thread...and another thread in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756531) too *rolleyes* that put the APK up. It's a rip from an N1 of the newest version from their market. I had no trouble installing it over the previous version of flash on my phone.
That being said, I'm not running any type of custom rom, just the 8/1 leak...you guys are on your own for the other stuff.

It works! Hulu won't work because they didn't sign any contracts that allow them to broadcast through Android Mobile Device- needs hacks for that...
but Flash 10.1 Final does run alot smoother than beta!
