[HTC Inspire 4G] anit77:
I came from a T2 as well and haven't looked back. I don miss the keyboard at all. If anything I can type faster with the Inspire. In landscape the keys are much bigger & if you don't like the stock one there are dozens more to try in the market.

The community is much better here too. Dev's respond frequently to questions in general as well as Rom topics and there is a much better sense of humor around here.

Take the plunge. You won't look back either. After a day or 2 when you finally put the T2 in a drawer it will feel tiny. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmanunited:
Year ago I went from the Tilt2 to Captivate. Night and Day Difference in Operating systems. I had stuck with WM even coming from the days of IpaQ's. I sold the Captivate which you can one on Craigslist and Bought the Inspire. I really enjoyed the Captivate but The Inspire is a solid device. You will not go wrong with either choice. Do not get caught up in the subsidized price search around and you will find good deals on devices.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tufyuma:
I switched too.

I went from the Tilt2 to the Inspire also, and I LOVE it I was a die hard windows guy, but microsoft lost me with mobile ver7. if you really want a T2 i still have my old one with extended battery and already hard spl'd :rolleyes:

Once you get used to not using a stylus it's not that hard, i did find it is easier if i calibrate the keyboard after i flash a new rom, might just be a mental thing :cool:

Just say no to apple!! get the Inspire!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] androhdez:
God there's a lot of tilt 2 users in this forum:). As for me i will buying the inspire near the summer. I still have hopes in the XDANDROID project:D, hopefully we'll have BT working.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JWJR:
the only reason i am slightly worried about price is because i am in a two year contract with ATT and i am to the point that i can stand the locking up anymore and I'm willing to pay 115 bucks to get out. as far as changing the roms on the Inspire are they easy to change? only im i changed the rom on my T2 was because that new stock rom with sense came out and i had been wanting to get it. on the inspire is there away to get a lot of the apps on the store for free?

i have noticed that amazon wireless has the inspire for like 70 bucks but i have to be ready for an upgrade. i wonder if i call att and pay them the money to end my contract if i will in turn be able to go straight to amazon wireless and buy the phone? what do yall think?
[HTC Inspire 4G] anit77:
I've heard of some long time at&t customers calling customer service and getting an upgrade early, especially if the topic of switching carriers comes up. I recall this being brought up here in Inspire General, do some searching.

As far as switching roms goes, it couldn't be easier. If you backup your apps with google using a gmail account & and your contacts using the multitude of options available everything but your widgets, home screen layout and side loaded apps gets restored very shortly after 1st boot.

This process makes windows mobile look like a joke. No need for scrips like UC to get everything back the way it was.
[HTC Inspire 4G] minicoop7:
I upgraded from Tilt2 mid February.while still half way through my contract. Called & asked how much was my early termination fee coz i was thinking of switching to Verizon (been with ATT for 4+ yrs). They asked why and told them I was looking at iPhone 4 or Thunderbolt. Also told them I was interested with inspire only if i could get an early upgrade. They said ok for 199. I told them I saw an upgrade offer for $69 @ Walmart.com & radioshack. I think I saw it somewhere recently for 49 bucks.

Long story short, they honored the price & I got the phone in 2 days with an early term fee of 350 if i cancelled within 2 yrs. Unlimited plan grandfathered.

Maybe I shudda waited for the Thunderbolt or Sensation from T-MO:) but I'm happy with this phone even without the front facing cam for now.

Still enjoying stock ROM.

Never had any problems with the Tilt2 with energy ROM. I stuck with the version shown below my signature. Didn't flash to any updated versions as it was stable for my usage.

The only thing I miss is outlook task syncing. Calendar is ok but i dont get appointment & tasks notifications anymore. Something I should research when i get a chance.

Hope that helps.

Sorry for the long response.
[General Questions and Answers] derekgabs:
After rooting.. what to do next? i want to install the metamorph but they say it needs more applications to install like back up and other stuffs..

Anyone knows what are the steps and applications i need to install?? THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

PS: I just want to make my home screen look cool.. like making all the widgets in transparent.. and changing my lockscreen..

Im also using a Samsung Galaxy MINI / POP s5570
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
First of all, you don't need root to use transparent widgets or change your lockscreen. There's a thread full of transparent widgets here on xda. You do need root to use transparent versions of system apps. You can change your lockscreen by purchasing the app Widgetlocker or flashing a custom rom that comes with a different lockscreen. The lockscreens you generally see in screenshots are from WidgetLocker, though. It's a great app & fully customizable... more than worth the $3.

Before changing any system settings, you'll need to do a nandroid backup via your recovery. This way, if you change anything and it screws up, you can restore from a working backup. You can also use Titanium Backup to backup your apps & data.

But really, the first thing you need to do is read. Read all of the stickies in your device-specific forums. Read everything you can until you understand, if you don't you could end up doing damage to your phone.

Oh, and you may need to install busybox to get some root apps to work. You can acquire it through the busybox installer in the market, or Titanium Backup. In TB, hit menu, choose "problems?" then choose to install busybox.
[General Questions and Answers] derekgabs:
Ahh.. thanks

uhm.. i got a little question.. in rooting.. can i move every app from the phone memory to the sd card? since it sucks up almost all of my space.. heheh..

TY IN ADVANCE :)
[General Questions and Answers] derekgabs:
Uhm.. i really kinda of disagree with this.. since when i tried to install the winamp app. It installed properly but didn't give me the widget that was transparent.. :(
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
It is not safe to move everything to your sd card. Widgets, launchers, and a lot of system apps are not okay to move. Don't move any kind of alarm either. Third party apps that aren't what I already mentioned should be fine to move. System apps that need to run constantly are not okay. If you don't know what it is, don't move it. Stuff like the calculator would be fine. The phone app wouldn't. Plus, and I could be wrong, but moving system apps does not give more room for third party apps, but gives more space to the system partition. I could be way off, so you may want to look into that.

Hmmmph, well it worked fine for me before I was rooted. I installed modded apks all the time, just not of system apps. It may have helped to uninstall first then install the new app. Since what makes the widget transparent is stored in a res/drawable folder in the apk, it could've been the apk that you downloaded. Or I guess it could've been the method of installation. As I said, worked fine for me.
[General Questions and Answers] derekgabs:
Uhm.. Okay.. i'll just try to move the apps which are downloaded that can't be moved in an unrooted phone but the pre installed apps will not be touched.. is that okay?? :)

I guess.. anyway i just found a transparent app in the MARKET.. wohoo.. hahaha.. but thanks for the suggestion that i dont need root to change those stuffs.. thanks.. :) :)

PS: one little question, last month ago i rooted my phone.. and it was successful but the awful thing was that i cant seem to access the android market. Why is that? :| ty in advance once more..
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
You should be fine moving third party apps as long as they don't have widgets that you use. If you're using a third party launcher like ADW or LauncherPro, don't move that. Other than that you should be okay.

If you're having a hard time downloading apps from the market, try going into settings, applications, manage applications, then choose the "all" tab. Find the market app and force stop it. Then clear cache & clear data, then relaunch the app. That should help. If not, you can try using AppBrain along with Fast Web Installer to download apps from the market. I've found this method to actually be faster for me. If you can't get to the market to download the apps, let me know & I'll post the apks for you. Once you've downloaded the Fast Web Installer, you need to open it & follow the instructions to allow it to install apps for you.

Flashing a custom rom might fix your problems as well.

Oh, and no worries, I'm always happy to help out. This community has done great things for me - I try to give back when I can :)
[General Questions and Answers] derekgabs:
Uhmm.. okay.. but i guess ill try the Fast web installer and Appbrain.. but i already unrooted my phone.. hehhe.. since its still new.. hahah.. but i will root it maybe a couple of months later since i want to enjoy first without using root priviliges..

but thank you.. really.. since this can help me..

i say that i will root it after several months first because i want to search more about rooting.. ehhehe..

i really want to say THANK YOU to you.. :)

i just updated my phone to EB01 and lost root, then rerooted my phone but know i can't get clockworkmod recovery running properly. all i get is stock recovery. do i need to rename a file update.zip?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyHerox25:
I am in dier (sp?) need of a new rom. I'm currently running cyanogen ..dont know what version but its the purple glass one. Lately everything is coming up as errors, my camera doesnt even work 98% of the time, and it takes about 3 minutes just to dial someone.

So question of the day: I was told by someone I consider "superior in phreaker knowledge" that I shouldnt run 2.3 on my phone. Mainly because his is *so much better than mine* but whatever.

I just need a good rom, a FAST one. I am open to suggestions. And if running 2.3 on my hero is stable and fast then I am open to it. preferably something less glitchy.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n33sirgp:
Try aosp's new gb build ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AjaxBU:
I ran cyanogen 6 for a while, then Jaybobs extblue froyo build for about 6 months. I've had Aosp's gingerbread mod since Feb, and it is by far the best rom I've ever had.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clutch_08:
Yep asop 2.3 best rom I have tryed
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 808Bill:
+800%. The AOSP Froyo build is awesome, but there is nothing like showing off our little Heroes running Gingerbread like a dream. AOSP 2.3 is damn good.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocheforte:
As of the 4/21 build of AOSP, I would highly recommend it as the go-to gingerbread rom. CM7 and Gingersense are all well and good, but nothing has felt quite as snappy as this build (ymmv). It's also a smaller download than the others by a good margin. Not to mention GB includes a built in CPU governor, so you'll no longer need SetCPU. Seriously, just try it out.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyHerox25:
ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! ive tried flashing 2.3 3 times now. ive tried re-downloading the file, tried downloading it to the phone and via sugarsync, tried wiping everything and it keeps showing "android" then goes to set up, then back to android, then back to set up. guess im going with 2.2
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocheforte:
What all are you wiping before you flash?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyHerox25:
followed a guide since it'd been over 6 mns since my last flash. did the factory reset, wiped cache, i think those were the only 2 options it gave me to wipe.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
First, if you have the sprint radio that ends in .27, you should upgrade it to .29. Second, if you don't have clockworkmod recovery, get it because it wipes all the correct stuff. Third, go to this site and follow the step by step: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Sprint_HTC_Hero
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocheforte:
Definitely get ClockworkMod set as your recovery. I'm not even using the newest one and it works great. Every time I go to a new rom, I wipe the user data, cache, battery stats, and dalvik cache.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyHerox25:
i already use rom manager and clockworkrecovery :) 2.3 just did NOT want to install correctly on my hero, so I went with asop (sp?) 2.2 and it worked perfectly. I love my hero once again- very fast.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyHerox25:

[G Tablet Accessories] Mankey Magic:
Does it record sound as well? I know that the G Tablet has trouble receiving sound from other bluetooth receivers.
[G Tablet Accessories] h3llphyre:
It's capable of sending audio back to the gtablet, as it has a mic, but I haven't tested it. I wanted a means of playing music from my GTab to my receiver, without using the subpar audio jack.

I just picked up a dock and HDMI is my new favorite method for audio output.
[G Tablet Accessories] mcp2009:
Bought one of these a while ago when I got my Nexus One and loved it but I wanted no wires and switched to Moto S9's. Just upgraded to S10's and I'm loving them
[G Tablet Accessories] h3llphyre:
Was also using this originally with my nexus one. The idea for me, is to embed this receiver into the dash of my car, as the optional bluetooth is a $800 module.
[G Tablet Accessories] ZebTheCalvinist:
I picked up two. I have a similar unit that I use to listen to podcasts while in my work van. I've never tried it with my G-Tablet, but the headphone jack has been bad since I got it. I figured at that price, they are nearly disposable.
[G Tablet Accessories] h3llphyre:
I haven't used the headphone jack in any portable electronics I've bought in years. They just aren't high enough quality to survive being plugged into. Odd, isn't it?

This is why I got the dock, so I could do music at home with HDMI, and Bluetooth is for "on the road".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vzontini:
In the world of Nexus One custom ROMS, what is the benefit of Gingerbread over Froyo? I know there is a good WiFi fix which is nice. Not sure about other improvements since so much of what custom ROMs offer is advanced over stock anyway.

Basically I've been having poor battery life with Gingerbread and I'm considering going back to Froyo but need more information to make a decision.

I did some searches but after several pages of results didn't find the information I was looking for.
[HTC 7 Pro] JewishMatt:
Searched, and haven't found a thread on this.

I'm due for an upgrade in July on my Sprint line, and I was almost certain I was going to go with the EVO 3D (when it comes out), but then I saw the HTC Arrive and kinda liked it. The thing is, though, that I really like Android as well. I know dual-booting Android was possible on the Touch Pro 2, so I was wondering if it's possible to do the same thing with the Arrive/7 Pro, or if having Windows Phone 7 prevents it from being able to do this. Thanks!
[HTC 7 Pro] awrnsmn:
It cannot be done as of now.
[HTC 7 Pro] fashion_m:
The HTC 7 Pro has the same SoC as HD7 and HD2, and both of them already have Android.

Why Android still can't be ported for 7 Pro?
[HTC 7 Pro] blindpet:
I'm pretty sure that hardspl must be available before we can flash custom roms on our pros. More imporantly some sort of application like haret for WM6 but for WP7 would probably also need to be developed first. Hopefully some fine day it will all be possible like on the HD2.
[HTC 7 Pro] reesep:
i was looking at how they dual boot with hd2, and it looks like they boot from sdcard, and flash wp7. we shouldn't need to flash wp7, but booting android is sdcard boot. so i see no reason why we can't boot from sdcard, unless we need a special boot loader, and the boot loader they need doesn't have the access to wp7 to get the boot loader working properly and that goes beyond me please correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
why would anyone want to put an unsecure, laggy,fragmented,built from stolen code OS like Android on a fine device such as the arrive? wp7 is leaps and bounds superior to Android and once mango arrives it will be even better. thus the need to do this isn't necessary.

[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
not an opinion,plenty of articles to back up my claims. sorry your feelings got hurt jaja.
[HTC 7 Pro] Acsteffy87:
and also many articles that say the opposite. Dont just spew out stuff and say it as fact. Other people have different preferences.

iOS is just as fragmented as Android. Only thing is that Apple controls the fragmentation so dumbass developers dont try making completely universal apps when they dont know how the hell to do that.

And fragmentation isnt an issue for consumers. Its perfectly fine. So i dont understand your bias against it unless you are a developer.
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
its not fragmentation thats an issue for consumers its malware, there have been numerous reports about this already, im not an iFan either
[HTC 7 Pro] exilkubaner:
I really don't care whether you or anyone says android is worse or better than wp7 but it would be nice to switch if one wants to. so when there is a thread discussing the possibility to port android on the 7 pro, there is no need for no-sayers, since they can occupy their brains with other stuff.

i would love to see this, but especially since there is only 1 sd-card, its either flashing one or the other i think...
[HTC 7 Pro] rich2thad:
Not possible on wp7 YET
[HTC 7 Pro] drelisimo:
Hello all,

I am new to mobile phones and I would like to post some questions, which are general in fact, but closely related to the topic and the Arrive device.

I would like to have another OS on it and I have found a way to change the SD cart it is running with, so I should be able to change or modify it with no trouble.

I imagine that I could find another HTC device with identical hardware and deploy it's ROM to this one in a manner similar to HD2's approach. I am so new that I already can feel how dumn is that ... but still.

I need to clarify some basics in order to know what to look for. First of all what does the firmware does and how it is related to the OS. Can I imagine it is something like BIOS, which controls the main hardware like processor, ram, telephony, etc? If so what stops me of formatting the SD and booting another system from it on the same hardware.

Another thing is what the ROM contains and how it is related to the OS. I am with the impression that it has everything in it -- OS distributive, firmware backup and bootloader maybe. If that is correct am I free to cook a ROM that contains the same firmware (as I imagine it like a BIOS alternative), the bootloader of another system and its distributive? Of course the ROM that is already on the device may and most probably will try to stop me, so I will need to somehow format it.

I do not express myself too good due to lack of expertise, but I know computers and I believe you will know what to tell me to straighten my thoughts.

Thank you in advance for any information you provide.

Sincere,

drel

Bump. Having no Bluetooth SPP has just pissed me off for a year. About to get an Galaxy Nexus S come May, so I don't mind tinkering with my Arrive for now.
[HTC 7 Pro] Miiky.MA1988:
hello?

Any news about dual booting android on arrive / HD7 Pro? I read the thread and some users just talk crap. " Why this? Why that?" Why not, may I ask. I Love WP7, i really think that beats the crap out of everything else. But why can't we dream of having android too? As far as I know, Android has at the moment much more apps ( free and payed ones ) available than WP7. My brother-in-law has veetle ( just an example ) on his Xperia S, and he can watch live football/soccer which I can't cuz there is no veetle available. And who can name veetle, can name many others too. The point is: Combining the best of two worlds would makes fully profit from our beloved phones, which we payed ( at least I did ;) ). I really hope that some news about this stuff.
