[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmphillips76:
I have an HTC Hero and one of my many questions is do you think Sprint and HTC will make a Hero 2 ... maybe with a 3.5" or lil bigger (not a monster sized phone) with either a good 1ghz processor or even a dual core and maybe keep the "track Ball" but lose all the other buttons make them all capacitive touch ..... thoughts or opinions ?

I do believe that the Hero has been very successful for both HTC and Sprint.

Ok back to me and My Hero I am not a developer and I am new to the rom switching game. I love the crisp look of the factory Sense UI, but I am one of those types that sees things differently. I look at things and say to myself how could we improve on this or how can we make it faster and keep it looking good. I found this website, and pretty much changed my Hero into a Super Hero so to say.

I also would like to say thanks to all of the great developers on the CDMA Hero side, so far I have tried almost every variety of rom and different mod on my Hero (have screenshots once I get out of the probation period I will post them)

So far I figured out the easiest way for me to root my hero is with one of two I found floating around these forums, Hero Root by regaw leinad or super1click v1.7 ..... I also figured out that firerat's mod is easier the data2ext if your nat really familiar with adb. I also have found three more programs to help a lot, droid explorer, android commander and qtadb.

My question to all Hero owners what do you think is the best all around ROM, Gapps, and other mods as of May 8th 2011? (I am just looking for opinions I read almost every thread on this site and I would just like to see it all together call me lazy)

All this and I have not "bricked" my Hero .... must be one tough s.o.b.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocheforte:
To answer your first question, I just don't see a revised Hero in the works. It has a been a great phone for many users and Sprint alike I'm sure, but the Hero is not likely to reappear simply because it doesn't really conform to what HTC is doing with most of their phones now (4-4.3 inches, capacitive buttons, similar super thin form factor). I definitely don't think they would put a trackball in, because even if there were a trackpad on a new device it's almost guaranteed to be optical. If there were to be a refresh, I definitely think we would have heard something by now considering the lifespan of the Hero.

As for roms, I'd definitely suggest playing around with AOSP or CM7 versions of Gingerbread. You may find that you prefer greater customizations than you get with Sense. However, if you really really dig Sense and would much rather have it, there's a great group of guys developing Sense 2.1 for Gingerbread on the Hero. It's in Alpha right now, but even considering that, it's a fantastic piece of work. As far as Gapps go, I would just stick to the latest ones provided at the Cyanogenmod wiki. I don't really apply other mods as I personally don't think I need any, but YMMV.

i for one love the design its the perfect size for me and as far as the processor goes once i overclocked it a little bit its plenty fast enough for me because i dont really install a ton of apps and as far as gaming goes i have a ps3 for that lol so it really is the perfect phone for me all the new ones are just to big i think.

and ive had the hero sense september and i had a mt3g before that.

OMGB

I have been running OMGB for the past 8 hrs I am using wifi only browsed the web for a while, cut grass listened to some MP3's and browsed the web some more and more MP3's I listened to MP3's for a couple hours (with the MIUI player found in the forums) and it shows pretty good battery life

I would also like to add that I am using the

opengles tweak to show supported version 1.1 (not 100% sure why I did it ... maybe just to say I did it successfully)

s0be's kernel AP5, unCoRrUpTeD data2ext V2.2, and the MIUI music player and camera apks

I like the bare minimalist look and feel this rom has, but I still dont have a true favorite .... variety is such a sweet thing and all these choices .... and most of the people I know dont even know what an HTC Hero is .... if its not a iLemon or if it doesnt say DROID (like in the commercials) they just dont "get it"

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsDace:
Hello,

If i try to send a text message, i get a red triangle next to the message and an error message in the notification menu.

The problems started yesterday. I was running GRJ22 upgraded from GRI40. I tried to debug the error but had no luck. I full wiped my Nexus, reflashed GRI40 and upgraded again via OTA.

I'm on Baseband KD1, Stock 2.3.4, bootloader unlocked but not rooted and no CWM. Network Type ist GSM/CDMA auto (prl) .

Is this even a problem with the phone or should i contact my carrier? Everything else is working: Calls, 3G, BT and wifi. It don't look like a radio issue.

Please help.

Hy,

I am using dell streak 5" tablet/phone, and since I have it ( android 1.6), till now (froyo 2.2.3) there is no fix for front face camera. What do I mean with that is I can not use ff camera with Skype etc... Is there some solution out there I do not know about??:confused:

Second huge issue is with Bluetooth on same device. It won't recognize logitech handsfree at all. Logitech works fine with all devices I own ( xperia x1, Htc qtek 9000, Nokia...). Also, Dell recognizes my bluetooth printer and notebook but it just do not wont to pair :mad:. Is there some problem with Bluetooth drivers or similar?

It is quite hard to drive, use navigation, charge and answer calls all the time... :eek:

Please help, I am already thankful !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ken481:
Hi

I have just bought the samsing galaxy s 2 and bought also a 32gb external micro sd card - i mounted it and formatted it.

Yet for some reason when i chose to store apps or anything on memory card they are stored on the phone internal memory.

In fact when i use a file manager - the memory card is listed as the phone internal memory (i.e.16GB (11GB)), and the external sd card - is listed as a folder called external_sd.

My query is this - did i buy a 32gb card for nothing. Is there a way to make use of this card on this phone - can i install apps in it - can i store emails from maildroid in it?

Any advice would be welcome - anyone not having this issue?

Same question

I have the very same question.

Jose :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJGibbon:
This is just how these things are handled. The question is, what do you intend to use the large space for? In my case, it's music and videos, which it's easy to copy into the external_sd folder. I'd prefer that apps + data stayed in the 16Gb (or 11Gb) internal memory, because that's still more than enough space and I never have to worry about what happens if I eject the SD card.

Many apps have a setting to specify where their data is stored - if you really want it on the SD card, just point them to external_sd.

What usage scenarios do you see this causing problems with?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beleta:
For instance Spotify does not have a setting for the location of the offline music and all the cached music goes to the internal memory (USB memory) at /sdcard/Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui.

If it were possible to make symbolic links or something like that there would be no problem. If not the sd will not serve for too many purposes.

Jose
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ken481:
How can you point apps to the external sd card?

Ken
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewe:
it does

This build adds the ability to select the storage location for Spotify on your phone from the Menu button when you’re on the login screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beleta:
Thanks a lot. I'd have never found it for myself. It is in the login screen (that you see only once in your life) and you have to press the menu button. A clever way to hide things.

So I would have to do this script for every freaking program? What a pain in the butt. I don't want any of my program data saved on internal, because if the phone goes, then so does all my data. I would like to just load up the internal with mp3s from my computer that I would never want to delete.

What ROM are you using?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *boy*racer*:
Try this. OPEN up vold.fstab. Where it says sdcard0 change to sdcard1.

And where it says sdcard1, change to sdcard0. then reboot. Now basically the phone thinks the sdcards are switched.

Helpful

Very helpful. Will give this a try. I am assuming this will work on other devices as well? And does it depend on the ROM you are using. I am aware that if you are running Stock, the mount for the external SD is sometimes different. This one I am assuming it is CyanogenMod 10.1 based since you have

"sdcard2" and that is typically how CyanogenMod mounts the external SD on most devices.

I'm an experienced noob. (I know what I am doing when it comes to phones, I have rooted many, I just don't know scripting very well and I have delt with old phones mostly.) if my information is incorrect, correct me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
can anyone tell me the most stable rom, wit hall components working with no bugs , glitches or problems etc. i currently have stock on my phone, and have been wanting to upgrade, but although every few days something is released, or a new feature (sense 3) i dont want to install if bugs - i.e. i read in sense 3 the weather doesnt update, so bit pointless installing.

whats the best rom for me? im guessing all roms are cleaned up and sped up.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Start with Seraphics Stock (but rooted) HTC gingerbread. Its the 2.3 update with root access, everything works.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seez1:
Try Leedroid 3.02 very stable for me and have all u need battery holds nice too.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giongis:
Depends on what ur looking for, I had the same question a month ago or so and decided to go for the a Revolution rom, by now I never want to go back again. I just flashed the Android Revolution HD 5.1.4, seems stable, fully functional and fast.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avoid88:
Yup, another vote for Android Revolution. Faster, better battery life, and probably more stable than stock :) My opinion is, don't go for Sense 3 mods, except maybe USB Connection thing. 3.0 Lock screen is pretty much useless like stock one, untill they fully implement features from sense 3 (lock screen apps selection,...).

Make a backup of your stock ROM, and then install ARHD 5.1.4 or LeeDroid 3.0.2, if you don't like it after testing, just restore to your previous state and you're back (with the slow one) :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadssiDK:
I would go for ARHD i have been using i for quiet a long time now and havent seen a lot of bugs its very fast and easy to use when you come from stock ROM because of no visual chances i would not recommed that you install any of the mods or themes in the first place Hope it helps
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
thank you i will try revolution first then :)

how do i back up my stock rom?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
using ROM Manager or clockworkmod recovery (ROM Manager is a GUI for CWM-R).

Just hit the backup current ROM.

You should perform a (NAND) backup every time you flash a new ROM etc. just in case something goes wrong.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter-sebo:
to try ARHD is a good dission.

It's fast, stable and simply that what you're looking for.

My tip on you: read the quides carefully, you'll have no problems with the flashing.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vickyclewis:
Try RCMIX if you want sense.

Try CM if you do not want sense.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaeilgeganeagla:
il add another vote for leedroids 3.0.3 it is very stable and everything works :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
thank you all, i will try revolution first, as it is downloaded now, then once i have done one i am sure i will be addicted and more happy to try others more often. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
ok, thank you everyone, i have installed the rom, it seems faster, and no noticeable problems yet.

I followed the guides found on here. and today saw on another site that it mentions to factory reset and wipe data, and then wipe data again after install, which there was no mention of in guides here.

will this cause a problem? i dont want to reset /wipe data now as just set it up again how i like it.

Still the line which symbolize how much is flashed was short(long wasn´t changing) so I restarted my phone but my phone has switched down and nothin else. I was trying to switch on it again for many times but still nothing. Please help me!!!!!!

Can't get into download mode or recovery?
[Galaxy 3 General] jaskiratsingh:
if indroid is a tar file, open and verify whether there is bootlader and sbl.bin. You can use 7zip, winrar to open it. If they are not there, its good

Remove the battery

Reinsert the battery

Press volume down key + Press Home Key + press power button. This will take you to download mode. Reflash the ROM

During reflash leave the system idle till the time you dont see reset in ODIN. ensure that during idle process system doesnt go to standby. This usually happens with factoryfs.rfs file
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
To download mod I can not go. How can I get to recovery mod? I am not sure. Is any way how to go to root of mobile if mobile is switched down?
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:

[Galaxy 3 General] werker123:
recovery is vol up+vol down+home+power. but is the boot.bin and sbl.bin included in the tar of indroid?
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
NO, there are only: cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, datafs.rfs, zImage

To recovery mod I can not get too:(
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
So, what do you think about my problem? Can I repair it?
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
Please, do you have any ideas how to repair it?
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Hmm if there weren't any boot loader files then maybe you might have ran out of battery. Try charging your phone and check if the charger animation appears also is the phone completely turned off or does it start then stop?
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
It doesn´t do anything. The display is still only black. Mobile doesn´t react. But I have mobile conected to charge cable and battery is quite hot so mobile is probably charging.
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Disconnect the charger wait till it cools down then try turning it on and remove the battery while its cooling down and what happens when you hold the power button down.
[Galaxy 3 General] jaskiratsingh:
If you can reach recovery that means you can reach download mode. You are somehow pressing volume up + Vol down.... Try specifically pressing vol down key

If that fails, and your phone had usb debugging enabled....boot the phone, it will be stuck in the middle....Connect usb cable and use adb, command "adb reboot download" . I am not sure it will work but its worth to try
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
He can't boot the phone or go into recovery mode. Something tells me It is his battery
[Galaxy 3 General] OrrPenn18:
wait for some time...remove battery wait for 15 mins...plug it again n go into recovery mode or download mode! :) tell me and try!

And the rom is already flashed...indroid doesnt come with a bootloader...no custom ROMs these days come! :/
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
Thank you for your ideas. I have tried this one with adb but nothing. Now I a trying to remove battery and give it again after 15 minutes. I hope to it will be good.

Please what it means that rom doesn't have bootloader?

EDIT: This rom is with kernel but I didn't install this kernel on my mobile. Could it be the problem?
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Hmm, basically bootloader is when you start your phone it says GT-i5800 samsung and if it's not there you can't start your phone. Also I need to know can you turn on your phone or not.
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
Oh I thought something like this.... I can not turn my phone on:(
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
So nothing happens when you hold down the power button?
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
nothing :(

I have tried to remove battery and after 15 minutes give it back but still nothing.
[Galaxy 3 General] burakweischdu:
Sorry but I think it's "broken" i d send it to samsung that they repair it...
[Galaxy 3 General] realismo:
Unplug your phone from charger or datacablee, press vol down+home and power for long time. At least 30 second. Almost impossible to brick your phone without bootloader flashing. I hope it will help.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
If you have a friend with the same phone I'd try his batteries, I find it quite odd that you cant get into download/recovery, you should be able to if you were able to do it before flashing.

Oh, and, if there is no bootloader in a rom that doesn't mean your phone doesn't have one, it just means that its not being rewritten, the one that you had before stays there. The same goes for any part of a rom, if a rom doesn't include zimage, that means the kernel you had before stays
[Galaxy 3 General] kozusnik:
I wanted to try change a battery with friend who has the same phone and when I was speaking with him, he said to me that his monile was stolen so I will try to go to shop with batteries, maybe I will can try the battery here.
