so would someone please pm me and ill send u my gtalk info.

thx in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
I would imagine ubuntu hasn't changed all that much since I last tried the distro. Plus editing partitions is almost universally the same so I'll help you one of these nights (Mon- Wed) if you don't get help from someone else before hand.

Edit: actually I'm back in my town again, so tonight could possibly work out as well depending on when you're free. (I'm free between ~7-10pm CST then I have some things to take care of)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
thx kyouko but i managed to get it going using a cd isntead of usb im loving this i did a 20gig hdd partition for it and i may make this my daily lol.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
good to hear. especially because things came up and I'm no longer free to help if I wanted :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mholzschuh:
ummmm.

Just to ask, what dose this have to do with an htc hero ?

but to answer your question u can just DL the .iso and mount it and the auto play will let you install it on top of windows
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
okay first of all im really glad your second post on xda was to flame somebody. second if youd bothered to read it you would've realized i got it fixed but thx anyway....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
Walk away man... you almost bricked your hero and with the help of xda members you got it back up. Be grateful. This is the general section. Plus its linux. Which is what you have in your hand. In turn which is a hero... which has....linux.... so yes it has to do with the hero....

Enough sarcasm?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
Good to hear that you got it installed.

JFYI - Ubuntu has an option where it can be installed as a directory within Windows. I have not used that option, but it did come up when I installed it, last time.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
yea ubuntu is pretty sweet kind of buggy though im glad i only did a 20gig partition lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
try running arch linux ;) no bugs here

Edit: Which version did you install on your computer? x64 or i386 (32bit)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
i installed ubuntu 11.0.4 64 bit the main bugs are wirless tether not working and after looking around in the ubuntu forums its something to do with the wireless drivers on ubuntu

Just thought I shared a video of how AWESOME video and sound quality is of the ATRIX video camera at 720. This is of the band ANKLA that visited Puerto Rico last night.

youtu.be/UBDY3SauqHg?hd=1
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Atrix video looks good on 720p @ 30fps until you move camera from a static position and start to pan. Very evident in your video, and videos I have done myself. The jitter is very bad when you move the Atrix around, even if done slowly. Also, movement very close to the phone will look like Age of Conan running on a Pentium 4 with everything set on high.

Audio came out really good which is surprising for a phone.

[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
More control of your device that you own without your permission.

I think its sad that they're going to these lengths, people record it for personal memory and its not going to be massive sellable quality so whats the problem?

I must say though, that video quality is amazing albeit a little bit of jitter here and there.
[General Questions and Answers] Maverick ®:
I've searched teh forum but could not find a conclusive answer or a a solution that works.

Fact is that I come from the Netherlands and have an HTC Desire. It comes with some apps I rather do without AND I like to be in controle over a phone I bought. The problem is that I want it to be rooted but I can't seem to find anything that works. I tried 1 solution I found here but I almoste bricked my Desire lol ( NOT!!!! scared the hell outta me) So I would like to know if there is a way to safely root my Desire? Or even let it be done by someone who knows what he is doing

I got Froyo (If I am correct) underneath here I have a list of what my bootloader looks like.

If I'm not mistaken, unrevoked roots the Desire. It's quick & painless, at least for the Evo, and doesn't remove any of your data. You may need to flash unrevoked forever in recovery if you're not s-off after rooting. I know that Unrevoked 3 for the Evo has forever included, it's most likely the same for your phone.

Then started unrEVOked3 and it begins good bat after few seconds.....

Waiting for bootloader; make sure driver is installed!

It hangs for about an hour now. On pc unrEVOked3 says the above and on my phone I see the booloader in the position below

HBOOT USB PLUG

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORRAGE

SIMLOCK

What went wrong? I did it without HTC sync and with. The USB drivers are not uninstalled so it shoud be able to find it I guess.

I've read somewhere it could depend on what bootloader I have. I also read ( and stupid me forgot to bookmark it.....) that HTC is going to root Android from factory on. But untill then I am stuck with this one.....

any help plz...

YESSSSSS my HTC Desire is rooted. Or at least I have the Superuser icon in my apps section. In short:

I used the RUU file as desrcibed above. Then I made a goldcard and used Unrevoked 3.21 to flash it. It worked like a charm although I had my doubts:D

so no see what I can do with it... lol At least I am in controle of (most of) my phone...

[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I think it would be very hard to develop for a phone without having that specific model especially if your talking about ROM development.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
The peolple that have develope floyo hands out to them im talking about out side developers none want to touch this phone same on them.
[Milestone XT720 General] cdstewart:
why don't you start developing yourself?
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
From what I can understand, you are expecting people who do not own this phone to spend hours/days/weeks of their time developing on this phone for free. If that's correct then you are making an absurd complaint.

It's absolutely amazing that we have people like Khal, Mioe7ae and others working on the XT720 like they do for no charge. It is semi-understandable in their case though since they have the XT720 and therefore do gain somewhat from their hard work (even so, it's still amazing what they do for us for free). To expect developers to give up their time to work on a phone they don't own for free (not to mention the fact that it's more difficult to develop on a phone you don't have like 3rdstring said) is just plain absurd. To say "shame on them" for not working on it -like you are entitled to have a team of slaves working 24/7 to make your phone better - is just downright disrespectful.

Forgive me if I've misunderstood what you're saying.
[Milestone XT720 General] try-and-error:
I fully agree to syrenz. It´s amazing what the guys here do for us!

I´m really impressed how people from all over the world can work together to create better software for our phone!

Thank you for this!
[Milestone XT720 General] khankuan:
agreed 100% ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
I not talking about are people have done great i would to see some take some interst in the xt720 we have possiable was of making this phone true open source.
[Milestone XT720 General] khalpowers:
Bootloader locked...full stop..
[Milestone XT720 General] try-and-error:
I think we should be thankful that these guys here work on our phone in spite of the locked bootloader!

Don't forget that the devs here are not payed for their work. They do this voluntarily. If I was a dev I really would think twice about creating a ROM for guys like you! :mad:
[Milestone XT720 General] cdstewart:
Whatever you say..

I didn't say I was a dev but I sure do appreciate the work done here by the devs and don't expect those without the handset to add to it.
[Milestone XT720 General] Vistaus:
There is indeed 2nd boot which the Defy uses to boot from another kernel. That's why they have that leaked 2.3 ROM and CM7 on the Defy. We could use that too. I already mentioned that a few times, but they just ignored that.

But I do really have a lot of respect for the guys that do development for our phone. Thanks a bunch, guys! :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Can you please be a hero and post a link? All I can find is that Defy does not have 2nd-boot. If they had 2nd-boot, they wouldn't need a leak...
[Milestone XT720 General] fjfalcon:
I compiled and get 2ndboot working for our phone.

But.. after re-launch mine kernel i can't get access to baseband.. so no phone(gsm module) working...
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Great! I think that's where the A853 has been stuck, too. Are you using XVilka's 2ndboot-ng?
[Milestone XT720 General] fjfalcon:
youp, with yakk's patchs.

As far i can get, mbm don't pass control of baseband to new kernel.. so problem... only in that momment.
[Milestone XT720 General] Vistaus:
They have 2nd-boot for all ROMS except the leak as that one is official. Rest is 2nd-boot.
[Milestone XT720 General] Vistaus:
Wow, thanks for getting so far already :) Hopefully you'll work the baseband-problem out :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Every Defy ROM I've looked at seems to be 2nd-init from what I can tell. So, specifically, since Defy's CM7 is 2nd-init, there exists at least one 2nd-init ROM for Defy and I have logically negated your statement. :D
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Nevermind. CliqXT doesn't check boot.img for signatures.

Second hand, but it sounds like the CLIQ/DEXT people have just figured out how to 2nd-boot with working radios. This was what reddit user Druuseph had to say about the announcement that CLIQ was now an officially supported CM7:

So I can't quite tell if they are saying it's using a hybrid 2nd-init/2nd-boot or if it's just using 2nd-init. I'm researching this.

Edit: the boot.img the Cliq XT CM7 is being distributed with does not seem to contain Motorola signature blocks, so this looks promising...
[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
Is there any chance to see a second kernel with radio access in our XT720 ?
[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
I see there is one for atrix, maybe you can port this :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109287
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
That's 2nd-init. It uses the stock kernel and is what we use already on XT720. It's 2nd-boot that would use a new kernel.
[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
Ok, thank you, I wasn't see there were two different.

[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
This has been a huge bane for me after setting custom ringtones to a few of my contacts. Once you assign a custom contact, there does not seem to be a process to CLEAR the setting, just to change it to something else. You will need a sqlite editor on your phone in order to do this. Search the market for one.

So, first thing is finding the sqlite DB where your contacts are stored. On the Atrix 4G the sqlite DB file is stored in: /data/data/com.motorola.blur.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db

Use Root Explorer to navigate to that path and open the DB with the sqlite editor.

There are primarily two tables you will need:

1. contacts

2. raw_contacts

First open the contacts table and scroll to the right until you see the column heading/field name: custom_ringtone

Scroll down until you find a record that has any text in the field (not a null field). Write down the number in the field labeled _id and name_raw_contact_id and hit the back button to return to the list of tables. Now open the raw_contacts table and tap the menu button. Select set filter and change the field to filter on from the drop down list to _id. In the filter value, enter the number you wrote down from the name_raw_contact_I'd field from the contacts table and tap the OK button. This will load up the contact that has a custom ringtone. Scroll all the way to the right until you see the field name 'display_name'

If this is the contact you wish to remove the custom ringtone from, great! Hold down on the record and tap on edit record. Scroll down until you see the custom_ringtone field and remove the text in that field. Now, go back to the contacts and find the original record by tapping menu again, set filter, choosing the _id field in the dropdown menu and then entering the number from _id. Hold down on the record and tap on edit record again and scroll down and clear the text in the custom_ringtone text field (it should be the same as from the raw_contacts table). Once you hit save, the custom ringtone will have be cleared from the contact.

Now, if someone can write an app for this or something, that would be AMAZING!!

[Acer Iconia A500] SmittyRN:
VTL is a tablet oriented launcher based off of the ADW Launcher; I tried it on my GTab, and really wanted it on my A500. But after I installed it, the first time I did a reboot it hung up and would not come out of boot, no matter what I did. I had to plug in a USB keyboard and do a complete factory reset. I tried the launcher again to make sure that's what locked it up, the results repeated. So until it's ready for the A500, don't try it unless you are ready to lose everything with a factory reset.

**EDIT** In the OP it states it's not ready for Honeycomb yet, didn't notice that the when I scanned over it the first time. I'll update when it is Honeycomb ready.
[Acer Iconia A500] Maliacrete:
sounds really nasty. thanks for sharing.
[Acer Iconia A500] CenturionFive:
I experienced the same trouble but I am able to get out of it. It appears to hang during the boot process with "Android" in the center of the black screen.

I found that if I tap repeatably on the screen it will bypass the screen lock and start with whatever I tapped on already open.

This looks like a really nice launcher. I hope they get this bug fixed and have it working in Honeycomb very soon. That is the future of tablets afterall

hey

So I'm going to be new to the android world. I'm looking at purchasing either a class 10 16gb card or a class 4 32gb card. The little I've read it sounds like some of the class 10 32gb cards tend to corrupt.

Wonder what people recommend for the evo 3d.

I was interested in the transcend 32gb card. Sandisk no longer rates there cards.

It has been disappointing. All the file cluster sizes were tried. Also tried the read ahead trick. Card was formatted fat 32. Tried different card readers. Benched with h2testw_1.4 software on PC and SD Tools on phone. Fastest it would come up with is 8.4 MB/s write and 17 MB/s read.

To contrast, I have a Sandisk 32 GB Class 2 card that does 6 MB/s write and 10 MB/s read.

So, the Kingston performs like a Class 8. Too bad there is no such classification. And too bad I paid for Class 10+. The "+" referring to the exorbitant price I foolishly shelled out for.
