I just had my HTC Touch HD T8282 with MW version 1.14.403.3(22273) WWE. I have several questions and hope to find answers here.
1. Google maps were not already installed, I installed it by myself from mobile.google.com. The program works fine but it does not find any satellite. Is it normal ? I am living in Turkey.
2. Should I upgrade my OS to 1.19... by using the OliNex ? I mean are there any big differences between those two versions ? I don't see any lag on my device currently. Are there so many new properties coming with the new version ? I am using my pda mainly for business.
3. This is my biggest problem. From Start>Programs>Messenger I open Windows Live Messenger. I choose sign in as Busy, Online or Away, etc. Then I click sign in and proceed to mail&password screen. But at that screen I cannot write my e-mail !! I can write my password thus I cannot click the sign in button because the mail is not written. Its the 2 of the 5 steps. What should I do? If the upgrade will fix this issue I will do it immediately. Messenger is a must for me in pda.
4. What is the best source for downloading .cab game files.
Thanks.
Hi, If you have rooted and installed a cooked-rom you can now start really editing your system to your needs, below is what I would do with the ChaCha/Status enjoy:
Launcher Pro
INSTEAD OF HTC Sense
Opera Mobile 11 (Not Opera Mini).
INSTEAD OF WebKit Browser
Opera Mobile is not available for this handset yet via Android Market
(You Need To Manually Install - Below Is Link)
QuickPik
INSTEAD OF Default Gallery
Handcent
INSTEAD OF SMS Default
MORE TO COMING SOON.
DOWNLOAD OPERA MOBILE 11 .APK FOR CHACHA
I tried removing stock messaging app to use handcent and mms stopped working.
I understood the latest handcent didn't need stock message to work, but something is amiss!

Actually you're wrong. I have installed Opera Mobile the first moment I got the phone (a month ago).
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.opera.browser&feature=search_result
You can also find it in the Market App. Just use the damn search button in the android market app.
This app is compatible with your Orange HTC HTC ChaCha A810e.

CURRENT VERSION:
11.1
It starts in landscape mode and it works fine.

Hi, You said that it is available from the Android Market APP. I can confirm three things that might differentiate between the situations when you downloaded the app and I did:
For Starters I Have: A Three Mobile ROM Not An Orange One.
Secondly: I have the latest ANDROID MARKET UPDATE - YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE.
(I KNOW YOU CAN DOWNLOAD OPERA FROM THE ONLINE MARKET)
Thirdly: You downloaded it a month ago and I attempted a few days ago via mobile (using browser) and it said incompatible with device. So I searched the market via mobile and it was not listed (Market APP does not list incompatible APPS).
THE ABOVE REASONS ARE WHY I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE WORKED FOR YOU AND NOT ME.

Hi, Please do not attempt to remove the stock messaging app just use the Handcent one as default - it should then work. If MMS is still not working for your handset please wait approximately TWO WEEKS and I will be releasing my new ROM that has at least 80MB of extra free space and it replaces the FACEBOOK BUTTON TO A TWITTER BUTTON.
ALSO I AM ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE HTC SENSE COMPLETELY BUT SO FAR NO LUCK - BUT THE WHOLE ROM WORKS SMOOTHLY AND IS AMAZINGLY FAST.
Stay tuned and I'll do something about handcent from within the custom-ROM and I'll let you know.
I put stock messgae back, always freeze using titanium first. I read latest handcent didn't need stock app that was all.

hi,
i flashed your rom.
- less then 60megs free mem on internal storage
- facebookbutton is not working as a twitterbutton
never the less nice rom
Thank you for testing the TweetDroid ROM and for that useful information I will be updating the ROM to work the button with something and increase the memory.
However, I'd like to ask you some questions:
- Is The ROM Stable?
- Does Google Plus Work?
- Does a Twitter App Appear?
- Does Opera Mobile 11 Work As The Default Browser?
- Is The New Market Installed or The Old One From SuperDroid?
Thanks.
i've only tested twitter and this version looks strange! it seems not the be the org. version which can be installed via market?! am i wrong?
rom is stable so far.
opera, google+ not tested yet, sorry
i tried myself to assign an app to the facebookbutton. as a matter of fact, qwerty was broken. nonfunctional anymore

1. I don't have an Orange ROM. And roms are not important.
2. We both have the same market update
3. Opera is there man, checked with a different ChaCha. I checked it again 5 minutes ago. Downloaded it.
Yes - you're right the twitter app is not by twitter - it's from a third-party company that uploaded it to mediafire - i will change the copy to the official soon.
I will also change the keyboard settings somehow and upload a new ROM called CAMDROID 1.0 before 7:00PM GMT.
If you have time - have a look at Opera Mobile.
Thanks for your help.
"the application Opera Mobile...has stopped..."
error
can't find google+
looks like it's not installed

What exactly do you type in dude? Every time I type 'firefox' i am greeted with 'third-party' application on porting it to android plus some other nonsense.
typing, firefox? what are you talking about? Oo
Sorry I posted that in the wrong thread. I was talking to this other user and must switched threads and thought I was still talking to him - sorry.

Hi all,
lately I installed youwave on my pc and experienced that one can really use whatsapp to chat with other users which have an actual android/iOS/windows/etc device. Next I tried to install android to my pc using VirtualBox, but when I installed whatsapp I got a message "unable to identify your device" which is understandable. But then I started to wonder, how could youwave get the job done where VB did not? After trying to install some other versions of android to my pc I figured that you couldn't install your own apps but only the ones which were in the preset app market. For example there was no OI Filemanagement which is there in the real app market. The best thing about youwave was that one version of whatsapp didn't work, but then I downloaded the newest version from whatsapp.com and it worked fine. I realised and tested that this would not work in my VB version of android.
I'm not a real hero with porting and virtual stuff, but now I'm trying to understand how youwave works in this. And my question for you here is, is it possible to achieve what youwave does myself with VirtualBox? If yes, how would I do that?
When I think about it I think you must achieve some of the following:
- Make VB think your pc is a HTC Sensation (in my case);
- Install the clockworkmod and rom manager to your virtual Sensation.
- Make a backup of your real phone in recovery mode and use this backup to recover your virtual one.
- Then someway, share your PC's network with your phone by making it think it has a wireless network in range?
- Install the newest whatsapp (which worked in youwave)
You'll probably think why the heck doesn't he JUST use youwave. There are several reasons, the most important one is I do not have a creditcard and do not even want to spent a lot of money just to whatsapp on my pc for fun. Besides I want to understand the proces of porting android to your pc and using it like it was a real phone, like with the google addon etc. And I don't like the UI of youwave.
So, if anyone knows if any of this is possible, I would appreciate your help. I think I saw someone somewhere talking about porting a backup of his phone to his PC but I can't remember where. I'm not asking you to come over to me and install everything for me but I just like an explanation where to start and what my possibilities are.
Anyway thanks for your attention.
Silly question...
There's been a lot of talk about Microsoft's youtube app(the new version that allows you to save videos...).
As far as I can tell it's only available to US marketplace users....Europe seems to have the old browser based one without all the fancy download buttons.
I was wondering if anyone has the xap file of the new version that the rest of us could install on our rooted phones by hand?
Hi!
I recently bought an Samsung Glaxy Y Pro (GT-B5510) which runs Android 2.3.6, tried to install whatsapp from both play store and whatsapp.com/android (which says that it's the minimum required version) but no luck, it doesn't install. Throws "invalid package".
The WApp support page says that Android 2.3.3 is the minimum, but i've decoded the apk using apktool and the AndroidMainifest.xml's minSdk is 15 (4.0).
Is possible to install WhatsApp on a Android 2.3.6 device?
Honestly, I don't know which Android version should be the minimal to install WhatsApp...
Why don't you try to install an alternative version like GBWhatsApp or YoWhatsApp to see if one of those is compatible with your device?

Effectively, those alt versions requires 4.0 as minimum, like the original WhatsApp APK does.
Check https://whatsapp.com/android to see the minimum required version.
A bit of a late reply, but I've been looking into getting Whatsapp for Android 2.3.4. I did get it working by downloading an older version of Whatsapp from the APK Mirror website. It's a pretty useful site as they seem to archive all the updated versions of Whatsapp (and other apps).
Unfortunately Whatsapp have stated that they intend on ending support for 2.3 firmware at the end of the year. This sucks as I've been using an old Xperia Mini Pro phone which is difficult to update its firmware. I use the phone because I think it's a beaut of a phone, even though it's old and under powered.
I've been looking into Whatsapp alternatives like YoWhatsapp and GBWhatsapp, and others. I can't seem to get any of them to work on Android 2.3, even if it states that it's compatible. It's a shame because I would really like to keep using Whatsapp to stay in touch with people, but it seems like Whatsapp is making it incredibly difficult.

Just like with any operating system, at some point old versions are no longer supported and newer programs and apps no longer work. One reason is security, 2.3.4 is not as secure as newer versions. Another reason is because very few people are still using gingerbread, they've all had the good sense to upgrade to keep from being left behind. Dropping support for older versions that are virtually no longer in use saves a lot of work when creating new developments. Why should they put all that hard work into supporting an operating system that is no longer viable?
This scenario can be compared to using a PC with Windows 95, ME or XP. Those are too old and insecure, using them leaves you open to a lot of vulnerabilities and hacks.
Do the smart thing, upgrade to something with a newer, safer, more supported operating system. You'll be much better off if you do.
