Hi everyone. I need some help. I am trying to track down a ROM to unroot my Sprint HTC Hero. The rom I need is RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_releaseUU_Spri nt_Hero

The trouble it that I can only find download links to this ROM. They direct me to the site geekforme.com. It looks like it is a dead link. The site no longer has it. Does anyone have a mirror site to download from . Or is it possible to post the download here. Please help!!!!

So... they make extremely generic designs, patent them, and wait until someone releases a product that remotely looks like it so they can sue the balls off you. This. Angered me beyond belief.

Your thoughts? Insanity. Wtf seriously. I can't believe I was an apple fanboy at one point in my life. I feel like I was in cahoots with Hitler.

Dud apple is evil. This is the first Ive ever heard of this being done. I mean cmon? Making all sorts of designs and getting patents. These people are evil. I feel bad for Samsung. The extent of apples capitalist tactics are insane. I think Sammy has underestimated how disgustingly horrid apple runs they're business. At this point, I would cut apple off from all sales of parts for they're phones and tablets. When the hand your feeding is stealing you're food, you cut them off. Simple. The iphone would fail without samsungs parts. I don't think apple realizes that.

If you feel something is not right here, then the one to blame is the patent agency that granted Apple the patents. If a company invests time and money in an invention and gets a legal document guaranteeing it the right to be the sole producer of that invention, then it's not the company's fault that it chose to defend that right. In fact, if a company does not vigorously defend its IP, it runs the risk of losing it (anyone remember the "there are two r's in Xerox campaign?).

I'm not familiar with the specific patents, but most of what I'm reading are complaints, like the OP's, that the patents are too vague. If so, the patents shouldn't have been granted and the agency in Europe responsible for making that decision erred. If the patents are appropriate, then it's Apple's right to protect its intellectual property.

I'm sick of the patent wars, but Apple is just playing by the rules it has been given.
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
Ironically, many of the people who complain about vague patents have never actually read through a complete patent file. Usually all they see is a one line summary quoted by whatever tech blog they visited that day and assume that one line is the entire patent. If anything, patent rage is too often just a product of fanboyism, and not rational thought.

The only people who think patents shouldn't exist are people who've never invented anything. They're just consumers who are too emotionally attached to their interest in technology and feel that the courts can never possibly do anything beneficial ever for anything.

There's also a kneejerk reaction from the anarchy of the tech community to shut anyone up who tries to see all sides of an issue. We've decided that patent law is a war of good vs. evil and any other way of looking at it is wrong.

Do Samsung products look more like iDevices than any other Android vendor? Probably. Is it really THAT hard to come up with a unique form factor? Or drop TouchWiz? Or something other than glossy plastic? There's a whole world of trivial design variations that could've avoided the 'similarity' mess that Samsung actively ignored. Ah well.

It's not like this generation of Android tablets is all that impressive anyway.

Apple=sleazy tactics.... Ya think??? remember the smear camaigns they did on Vista? I firmly beleve that APPLE is the reason Vista did as bad as it did any why everyone hates it so much. Granted, it wasn't the best OS in history as it was a 'bit' bloated and slow, but overall, it wasn't THAT bad... Almost all the 'problems' with it was HARDWARE VENDORS not releasing decent drivers for it. I ran it from the time it was a RC until 7 was a RC and never had any trouble with it. Hell, I had more problems with Windows XP Tablet Edition (SP2 & 3) on my HP TC4400 than I ever did with Vista, even when it was a RC. 7 is WAY better, but Vista wasn't a miserable failure (unlike Win Me). Ever heard of the Mojave Experiment? MS took Vista, re-labled it "Windows Mojave" and had people check it out. Almost everyone LOVED the "new" OS... only to be shocked when they were told it was actually Vista.

Apple is a miserable POS company and I'd LOVE to see them go bankrupt and dissapear off the face of this planet, along with their crappy 'OS' and devices, but unfortunately that's not going to happen due to all the kool-aid drinkers.

Beofer you hate on me for calling their 'OS' crappy, MS's oses might be crappy, but at least you can do things with them. Good luck trying to do anything outside the "apple box" on a mac....
[Epic 4G General] metalblaster:
Just reading that article was enough to make me rage out. I've always thought that apple used terrible tactics and produced sub-par products. This patent stuff is just pure ignorance on the part of the patent office and the judicial system. the fact that apple was granted patent rights to a folder icon or something similar is ludicris. If I was able to patent everything I made to say tweak my computer or alter my webpage, then I would have a whole lot of things I could sue people over.

Apple already has the market cornered in a lot of places because people are mindless zombies who will pay an extra $500 for a computer so that it can run their "sleek amazing Operating system" ("cough cough" basically linux "cough cough"). Apple doesn't make hardware except in special cases, and their OS is limiting on what you can do to configure it as well as the access you can obtain using it but people use it because it "looks good". I guess that's all that matters right? Paying an extra $500 dollars for a computer that is aesthetically pleasing. Hell, apple will have you think they invented multitasking and copy and paste. I guarantee they would try to sue some one for that as well.

Its all just corporatism at its best. Stuff like this is what makes the free market economy a cut throat place to work in.
[Epic 4G General] T-980:
I hate Apple. I've been doing my part to talk people out of buying iPhones and anything Apple. I don't like how everything of theirs is completely locked down and you have to play by their rules. Hardly any customization.

When it comes to this kind of stuff, it just makes me sick. Yea, it's legal but it's just wrong how they can get away with stuff like this.

There's nothing we little people can do other then try and turn anyone we can away from iPhones and Apple Products.
[Epic 4G General] misterlee622:
I think Samsung is kinda infringing on designs that look similar to iPhones or iPads, but kinda hard not to. Maybe if they change the color from black to, idk, grey or green or something, & they had a patent for that, they would be better off. But everyone knows that black is a more common & neutral color for electronic devices. Hopefully, Samsung & Apple will settle this problem like gentlemen & not like 2 little kids fighting over a toy.
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Reading this made me think Apple's new slogan should be "There's a patent for that."
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
I don't have a problem with Apple suing Sammy over patent infringement. Patents and copyrights are the basis for creativity and ingenuity. Apple developed a great product (whether we like it or not) and got patents on many of the features and components of their product. If other companies want to copy/steal their intellectual rights to those features and components, I think Apple is well within their rights to stop those companies.
[Epic 4G General] Ultro:
@edonnelly, I lol'd and agree on that slogan :>

QFT, but surely you must see that Apple is abusing the legal system. The amount of lawsuits, and the reasons for them, are utterly absurd. Rules keep order, but abusing loopholes can cause more chaos than having no rules at all. Fu** Apple :p
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
They're suing over design likeness, at least in the EU. Basically they say no one can have a thin, rectangular tablet with a black face. That is why they've gone after Samsung and Motorola. It would be humorous if they go after HTC for their non-black faced tablet, ha ha.
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
As much I was hating apple on their proprietary stuff implementing on their products I kind start changing my mind and give them a credit because you have to admit it they are first on everything and all others just follow them like zombies smelling money as they copy everything they can. The Asian companies, hell they can copy U if they smell profit, but in a way is good for us because we getting the stuff half the price, sympathizing with the thief hoping the goodies get cheaper.
[Epic 4G General] ort84:
LMAO thanks for the laugh. I love fanboys of all types.

Apple is the most valued company in the world because they are such a POS company right? Look you may not like their products but that doesn't give you the right to say they can't protect their IP. They created the tablet market for crying out loud. Before the iPad there was no tablet market and don't bother bringing up microsofts pathetic attempts.

Apple has given a lot to the tech community and without them, we would not have many of the modern advances in the field. Android was a basic windows mobile clone until Apple showed the world how a smart phone should be made.

None of that matters though right? Apple is evil and Google is the savior? The same company who crys about patents and then buys patents at the same time.

All companies are neutral, they are in business to make money; morals have no place in business.
[Epic 4G General] AmnChode:
They are only valuable because everything "thinks" they are the best and will buy anything they are throwing at them. Apple reminds me alot of another company. Harley-Davidson. Neither of them sell the product, they sell the "lifestyle". Neither build the absolute best products, but they do build what products will sell the lifestyle. While Harley tends to cater to the "look at me, I'm a bad ass" crowd, Apple goes after the "look at me, I'm trendy" style. In both cases, doesn't apply to all, but that is the markets that they cater to. And like with Harley, people will come out in droves to support them.

Another similarity. They both file paperwork on said style. With Harley, they attempted to trademark the exhaust note...with Apple patents on look and "feel". Both very generic, both used actively in courts.

Apple doesn't create markets. They have not created a single market. They just refine the **** out of it and make it look pretty for the sheep making the market more popular, but in every case, MP3 players, smart phones, tablets, the market was there well before Apple decided to make their leap.
[Epic 4G General] ort84:
Microsoft attempted to create a tablet market but, until Apple came into the field it hadn't really existed. I'll give you on the mp3 players they refined it and simply made the best players; hence their market domination.

They are the reason the personal computer market caught on too, before then no one at home wanted a pc.

Yes Apple makes fashionable products but, unlike Harley, their products work well and in many cases are just as good a deal as the competition if not more so.

Best example I can give you is the new MacBook Air I picked up. What other laptop is out there at it's price range with the thin factor/weight/power and can run windows in addition to OSX? It's a great machine and at least for now, no other manufacturer can match it unless you want to spend 3,000 on a Sony laptop.
[Epic 4G General] chrisnosleep:
I will have to give you the fact about Forbe's claiming what they do about cr-Apple. However, everything else you've stated about them is incorrect. In fact, what original idea have they come up with? Everything they build is just an attempt at improving on someone else's idea or product. That's what makes them suing everyone such an outrage.

Their patents are just as ridiculous as Gene Simmons copyrighting 'OJ'. All he did was realize that someone didn't 'own' the phrase yet. That's exactly what cr-Apple has done.

Cr-Apple products are inferior, however, their ad campaign's aren't. That's the ONLY reason they have turned their company around like they have. They build software that can ONLY run on their own hardware. Microsoft and Google build software that can run on ANYTHING! Its even more hilarious that cr-Apple had to start making their machines capable of running Windows because no one wanted the crap they were selling.

Do some devices that run Android and Microsoft suck? Absolutely! If you put together crappy hardware it doesn't matter what software you run, you're going to have a crappy machine. That's not Google or Microsoft's fault. But the software itself is genius.

And don't go knocking Harley either. That's the next thing cr-Apple will probably be copying. It'll be something like the i-Cycle. Then, a few years down the line, they'll be suing Harley for making something with two wheels on it.:D
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
genius? Windows? seriously?
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
The only reason for apples success is they're ipods. Everyone owned one and everyother mp3 player just didn't match up. They were also the first to look sleek casual and stylish. This is why apple sheep exist. They STILL think the same way. If only they knew that ipad 2 cost apple half the ipads retail price to make. The only reason I see a reason for owning an apple product is if your an idiot and can't handle technology. For example people that ***** about android malware and virus issues. So you've never installed an antivirus on your PC?? Apple has single handedly stupified people in technology. I.hate.them
[Epic 4G General] Qwallace70129:

[Epic 4G General] DAvid_B:
Its so pathetic that any patent office would basicly give ANYONE a patent for a "box with screen and or buttons".

There is zero justification for that.

They can already tm the name and any misspellings of it.

Its not like samsung or anyone is making an exact duplicate an selling it in the usa.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
I don't think there is anything wrong with (CR)Apple protecting their intellectual property. They may have been innovative in a few aspects of their devices, but like it's been stated before: They came into a market that was small and blew it up with marketing and a superior device (at the time). Now they have a far inferior hardware and they would rather sue other companies that are advancing the same market when they could be making a device that can ACTUALLY compete in said market. Holy run-on sentence Batman lol

EDIT : I somehow skipped my point. I think they should protect their IP, however they made it so generic that it's near impossible to NOT copy the design. I just think they should spend their resources in a more productive manner.
[HTC Sensation] theorie:
http://youtu.be/bGulIF85SnM​

Wondering if there is any way to easily add-on / flash the 'required protocols' needed to pair a rooted Sensation with a SixAxis controller.

I downloaded the compatibility app to check, and it said the Bluetooth 'required protocols' were missing.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to pair a SixAxis for gaming on the sensation...

http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html

Thanks to all the dev's in advance.
[HTC Sensation] dipje:
Not to crush your hopes, but I believe this is the same issue with connecting WiiMote controllers to Android phones...

... HTC has messed with the Bluetooth stack so much that on Sense roms they never got it working, and as far as I know nobody ever fixed it (or tried to fix it).

I believe that the HTC Bluetooth stack just misses portions for this (like raw device access I believe) and it isn't just as simple as 'adding missing files'. You can replace the entire Bluetooth stack with the AOSP one (if you got the drivers and all) but apparently that breaks Sense since the Bluetooth stack libs or such as needed to run Sense.

So AOSP / CyanogenMod ROMs (which aren't up and running yet on the Sensation I believe) or hope that somebody has a brand new idea on how to tackle this.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
i saw sense rom with modified bluetooth stack and gut such apps working back then for the HD2 ...

i think it is possible to change the stack on sense roms if we would find the right dev to do it for us !!!!! :(
[HTC Sensation] halojinx:
would also love to see this. even with Sensation's huge screen, my fingers covers half the screen when playing games with onscreen controls. hope this request gets solved.
[HTC Sensation] AnabolicSean:
Hi, I have read if I get my phone (HTC Sensation 4G) "rooted" (not sure how to do this) and install CyanogenMod 7 (could not find it for Sensation) I could use the SixAxis PS3 controller app on my phone.

Does anyone know where I could find CM7 to install on my Sensation (they have it for the MyTouch 4G which seems to be a similar phone, could I install that version of CM7?)?

How can I "root" my device?

Perhaps is there a different method to "tweek" the bluetooth protocol for my phone to pair with the PS3 controller?

I have seen a few youtube videos with the sixaxis working on other phones (Samsung Galaxy S, x10 mini pro, HTC Desire, HTC HD2) and since the Sensation 4G is the newest and best T-Mobile device I assumed there would be some way to get this app to work.

Im desperately trying to use the Sixaxis app (want to do 4 player Mario Kart and 007 via HDMI on my tv with 4 PS3 controllers!!) on my HTC Sensation 4G and if anyone has a way to make this work (or an update) please let me know- thank you!
[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
Well, 4 player Mario Kart via HDMI is going to have to wait a little longer. First, we need AOSP or CM ROM's written for the Sensation (which they aren't), then we can go about trying to get it working.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
1: Not out for sensation yet, wait. and No you can't, it's a different device.

2: There's a sticky on the Development section

3: Rewrite the bluetooth drivers :)

4: Yes there is wait for CM7 or rewrite protocol

5: And again, wait.
[HTC Sensation] RoboWarriorSr:
I know in the desirehd thread, one of the developers by the name of xxxpachaxxx was able to get six axis to work on a modified kernal for sense roms. Works on his rooms but may try it on others. You should see if he made one for the sensation and is not pm him and hope he can. Just proof to show it is possible. I wonder if they fixed this in Sense 4.0.

by the time Verizon gets the GS2 we will have ICS/Bionic/Nexus Prime(hopefully). Don't get me wrong the GS2 isn't going to be outdated but there are going to be better phones by the time this snail hits our market.

what? why would they do that to such phone? thats not fair......

i just want a samsung galaxy phone on verizon network with LTE, dual core, any phone i should keep my eyes on? but for now ill enjoy my charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Keep an eye on the Google Nexus Prime; rumored to have ICS preinstalled, no overlay(TouchWiz, Motoblur etc. None of that crap), 720p Super Amoled HD display(720x1280), dual core TI OMAP4460 processor overclocked at 1.5ghz, 1 gig of ram, LTE and not to mention the fact that it's a Google branded phone so it will receive OS updates first. The only downside is this phone is rumored to only have a 5MP camera.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
I wouldn't hold out hope for it to be released anytime soon on verizon. GS2 looks really nice and will probably launch next month and it will probably have lte. Leaked roadmaps show a possible release for a fitting samsung phone the same day the bionic is supposed to drop. Htc vigor looks VERY interesting as well: 1.5ghz dual core, 720p display and all that good stuff.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
i am holding out for the Vigor, that thing looks freaking amazing. If it comes out with the specs that its rumored to have, it will be the most powerful handset on the planet, literally.

I am an HTC and Sense fan at heart, but moved to the charge because I was not impressed with the TB
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Seriously I love the whole look of Sense but everything on Sense is emulated through apps(aside from the core features like the way you scroll through home pages and stuff) but the keyboard/clock/weather/wallpapers/lockscreen can all be ran on the Charge without the need of a theme. Of course, the theme is much better but it requires Gummycharged and I'm an Eclipse guy currently.
