Has anyone manged to get it running here?
Theres a thread in the Vouge forum with a bunch of guys who have it running, and this guy has it running on his Dual.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bed6KIxZ6zI
Im having trouble to get it running however.
I see it being a long time before Android becomes as good as windows mobile but I believe it has the potential to be a lot better, should be good if we can get it running on our HTC devices in the future.

hmmm...for some reason the android in the video looks nothing like the android that google introudced on the official android page.

I have had this running on my nike, works fine, but only boots with a connection to WMDC.
If you try to run any program, it freezes.
A good start though!

Android is going to be released on a HTC phone so the clever guys on this forum should be able to port it to our phones looks well good though maybe could be competing with iphone!

like I said, I reckon it will be a long while before its going to be of any good - as it gets developed over time and applications are created and able to run like tomtom etc....
but it looks very good and very promising.

Work on my HTC Touch DUal but many problem and crash!
If you want i send you my configuration and file.
Sorry for my bad english!

HTC Touch / TouchFlo

Hi, some people have had success getting the touchflo interface to work on the Wizard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314031&highlight=touchflo
but it doesn't seem to work on Charmer. Anyone else tried / succeeded?
If anyone has any ideas, please post here, thanks.
Its for Hermes, not wizard.
I think Wizard as well...

this is a realy goods news for us, but the fact is too few people use charmer. i only can do is wait for somebody make the sutiable rom for charmer.
today i used to make a test, write the Fantastic_b4_step2 ROM to charmer, but that is not function, stop at the second screen and system was down.
I have been using the htc Touch homescreen today plugin, wireless manager and dial pad on my charmer for the past week, however had to overclock the device to compensate for the lagging.

I've been using the above and a few of the other HTC apps on my Charmer for a good few weeks now and found that if I install the "v. 000.2 WM6 Essentials" rom and then the HTC apps I dont have to overclock the thing at all. Although the first time some of the apps are run they are slow.
I'd like to see someone add these to a new extended rom excluding all the naff T Mobile stuff that I have to bypass after flashing at the moment. I've also never flashed my PDA so often as I have recently.
I just have one problem and thats syncing with Vista Windows Mobile Device Center, its not working and giving me sync errors but doesnt tell you why typical Microsoft error trapping hey?
Adding the bits to the extended rom make n difference, however having them added to the actual rom does, anyway the charmer rom cookers have stated their stance on adding these tidbits to the rom and I appreciate that.
Regarding your active sync issues, are you using AS 4.5?

Sluggish scrolling PIE?

In both Crystal 3 and Mysterious 1.0 scrolling in Internet explorer is very slow. I have not tried Gullum 9 beta so I cannot comment on that one.
The problem is apparent after a fresh flash, or hard reset before installing any application, and remains the same. It is so bad that PIE is almost unusable.
I am surprised that little has been mentioned about this issue.
I stumbled upon a thread on these forums for another device that mentions replacing the webview.dll in the windows folder with the one posted on the forum.
Well it works like magic, PIE becomes smooth and fast.
I would appreciate any feedback regarding this issue.
Well.
I always found PIE very slow. So, this should be the last site you go to using PIE
www.operamini.com
It's just a Java Applet, but it's the best browser ever for any mobile platform as far as I'm concerned! Give it a try. I use the beta version, just add /beta like this:
www.operamini.com/beta
this is an old and real issue mentioned on crystal's thread earlier and, unfortunetly,it's regarded as something trivial.
to my knowledge the sluggish scrolling of pie, other apps like mdict also affected, have existed since roms built on core 18125.
of course certain roms, evo8 for instance, had taken the issue seriously that not only pie but also all apps affected by the symptom have been working like a charm.
i'm glad this REAL issue is singled out.
hopefully someone might help. thanks a lot!
@shylock
do you mind to upload the version of webview.dll u recommend here? thank you in advance!

Sorry there, didn't mean to cause offense. I just don't think PIE is a well thought out browser for Prophet. Also, I didn't know this was related to other apps as well. Which other Apps have you had trouble with?

don't worry^^ your experience about pie is true. i myself browse the internet with opera 8.65 in liue of pie as well.
as to how many apps are affected, i'm not sure but one of the most popular dictionaries in the world--Mdict is certainly confirmed.

thank you very much for the attached! it works!

Do a soft reset and replace it as soon as the phone is booted up
I used Resco Explorer to copy and paste. It gives an error warning about possible data corruption, but I tell it to go ahead and soft reset.
can't find the webview.dll anywhere in my windows folder? I am running Crystal V3 with no problems, seems very stable. However, would appreciete any help on this issue - shoudl I just paste into the folder and see how it goes?
thanks for the tip, i was asking in a french forum, and nothing !

IGO 8 in PK 4

Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!
Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Here's some 'food thought' for you.
Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.
apd was quite correct to point out that we will not provide support for warez. We also won't help those with bad attitude, so you are SOL.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

Really .... OMG ?! And who will come to inspect my PDA around the world ?! I think that you have a problem called frustration , cause you can't find cheap software. Try with doctor Phil ....
An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.

Nebie wanting some answers

Hey all.
I know i need to use the search tool but i don't have a clue of what to search for.
My Touch Dual can make calls once i turn it on but then after one call, i can call people but they can't hear me and i can't hear them.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Also, i've read about updating roms or radio's etc? and would someone please explain this to me.
I hope someone can give me the answers on how to fix the call problem and help with rom's/radio's.
Thanks.

If it has the original ROM, then it is time to return it to manufacturer for fix.

In simple terms, ROMs are the operating system of your phone. Like your PC, you can modify or update the ROM. Custom ROMs can have features and programs built in that are not part of the standard ROM that your phone came with.
The radio is the low level drivers to control the hardware of your phone, eg making calls, camera etc.
It does have the original ROM in that case. But unfortunately, I got the phone from Ebay and thus no receipt so they won't touch it.
Would changing the ROM have the ability to fix the call problem.
or
Would I be able to change the Radio? One of these should work shouldn't they?
And if so... Would you be able to lead me in the right direction on how to do it?
Thanks
hey i had same problem
not so long ago ..
where i call they cant hear me and i cant hear them either ..
all i did was remove srs wow hd (if you have it - first enable it make sure the speaker is set to internal.. try call if still doesnt work remove the app)
then did a soft-reset
if that doesnt work try a new radio like 1.65.xx.xx or 1.71.xx.xx
Haha, okay.
To start of with, i don't even know what "srs wow hd" is? And where will it be so i can remove it?
And secondly. How do i change the radio etc?
Thanks

haha lol yeh i only just learning two i ot my own touch dual just a few weeks ago
srs wow hd is sound driver you can find this in settings (if you have it installed) .. so go to setting it will be under system.
try putting it to use internal speaker(its the first option you cant miss it!) ..try call if it doesnt work ... change ur radio .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502
download one of the 1.65 or 1.71 one's
next flash hardspl .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
..before you change radio it says you need to CID unlock your device .. so do that..(personally i did'nt do that even though it says it will stop on 99% ....i only didnt do this because my computer wouldnt run the software ..)
so still try to CID UNLOCK just so you dont mess your phone up ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395945 < to get cid unlock + instructions.
so now you've done all that and you have downloaded the radio ... connect your phone to ur pc using active sync and run the file follow instructions( note it says it hard resets aka wipes your phone, it doesnt ) and wait awhile when its completed try to call ..
if that still doesnt work ask a expert
hope this helps ..
Thanks for the help mate, i did all of that but used a different radio previous to reading your reply.
I'll try using one of those now though cause the signal strength is really low on the "RUU Nike Radio 1.58.21.23S Modded" one.
So i'll just have to see what happens
Thanks for the reply though mate, wish me luck! haha
okayy good luck
Cheers man, found a radio that did everything. So it's all good
This forum's pretty sweet.
Now i just need to get some cool apps and games on it and i'll be sorted!
Helpfull liam12189! Maybe a mod can change the title to something that's more suitable? This way it'll show up in searchresults (hopefully) and can be helpfull to others also.
yes .. that would be a good idea like : help with radio if you can't make calls or something!

New Touch user comments and questions.

I just got my Meizu MX4 and find several things which irritate me, was wondering if I can make suggestions for updates somewhere? Here are a few examples:
How do I get temp in C, with Display Language US English?
NearBy took an entire day to finally figure out where I live, although location is turned on and I tried to show it where I am.
Still new, more to follow if this is the place.

As far as I know there is a bug report for this and the developers are working on it. Let's see if the next update fixes the issue.
Thank you for the response Nikwen,
The weather app is automatically the Weather Channel, the only setting possible is location on or off. I had expected it to be there.
I'll keep my eye open for the fix to my other comment and also for additional things to talk about. I'm essentially very satisfied with the user experience and am certain that once apps and scopes begin showing up in numbers Ubuntu will be a viable alternative to the others on the market.
I assume I can continue to bring up problems I find here.
Thanks again
O
Found the next thing, although it's probably known. In camera I can't zoom. The zoom - + show, but nothing happens.
So, I found that I can change the weather app to celsius, but it doesn't work in the weather channel and it's what's used in NearBy with F.
I also found that the Amazon app goes automatically to Amazon.co.uk, but I live in Germany, I want .de, but how?
Next, I browsed Google.com, it sent me to Google.de, what else? I didn't want that, but it's impossible to get to complete English. The Google page is English, but when I touch settings, I land in a German page.
Those are my newest grumps, I'll keep looking.
TY for listening!

It should be out in September or maybe later this month if we're lucky !
TY antole, that's welcome info. This morning I got an update, since then I get no notifications from gmail. Is that normal or do I need to make a setting? Another thing, Near By has disappeared, so I no longer see F not certain if that's good or bad atm.
I'm just enjoying playing with my new toy and thank all devs for the hard work amnd for putting up with my problems.
O
I haven't even tried the Gmail app sorry
My Gmail account is configured with Dekko
I didn't get any update this morning, was the update for the Gmail app ?
I've been running on OTA-5 for approximately two weeks now and I've had no issue with The Weather Channel displaying temperature in C but I live in France so that seems normal
My NearBy scope hasn't gone anywhere either ;p

The update was for Nexus devices only as the messaging issue they fixed didn't appear on other devices.
Back with more! Sorry to say I was overwelmed by the amount of work needed on OT and didn't want to sound like I was putting it down, so I stopped writing. Most are small, wish I could this or that. I found one today though which I had to ask about.
I tried to upload files to my P today, win7 couldn't do it so I tried Ubuntu desktop, 14.04 which couldn't mount my phone. Uh oh, what now? I can't find a setting anywhere which helps. Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh and the update I assume was somethsomething to get my new phone up to the current version. I must have removed Near By by accident, I have it back now, still in F. Must be the language, custom I live in germany but us us english.
Ty for the help!
O
If you cannot mount your phone, you can always enable ssh and use sftp to transfer files. Usual mounting should work though.
(If it still doesn't, you could try installing ADB on your computer. It might help.)
Thanks for your help Nik,
I figured it out, I needed to get into Developer Mode in order to get USB to work. Now I'm in, but have the next problem. I can only see the Home directories, but I want to download the files in the .local/share but I have no idea how to get there. On my MX4 I've gotten to the folder I want using File Manager, but how do I get there from my PC? Or more specifically, how do I download the files stored there?
O
Yeah, hotspot is here! Haven't had time to test it yet, but I love to watch UT develop.
Still hoping for a tip on getting to my files from a PC. I understand it's a kinda noobish question, but until now I've only fixed problems as they arrise in Ubuntu, haven't had time for it. Now I've started and don't know where to search for help.
And the potshot works great. Saw Cantata Nil, looks interesting, but having a problem finding servers, or do I have to set up my own server?
Thanx

Stupid auto correct, I meant hotspot and Nik.
I've finally found AskUbuntu, so I'm working on finding my own answers.
