Hi guy, i don't know if the ROMs have Croatian

For the best ROM:

if u want a ROM based on system 2.2 the best is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878115

if u want a ROM based on system 2.3.7 the best is cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 but other ROMs like SplashMOD or Oxygen are very good

Ok, I am confused. I am new to the whole Acer Iconia A500 and such and so far, I am happy with my refurbished purchase having installed Taboonay 2.2. However, I keep seeing this name of Thor around the forums here and having this individual bashed for things. I have some questions...

1. Why is his releases not allowed to be linked to XDA?

2. Why is it that I see in posts and comments that his ROM is considered Warez? or better yet, what makes his ROM to be considered Warez?

If those can be answered, I should have a better understanding about this fellow.

ThanX in advance!

There are a bunch of threads about this. Do a little research and u could find an explanation better than I can give u.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Short story is he's in direct violation of the GPL (he refuses to publish his source code for his kernel).

If you've got nothing to hide, then why bother hiding it?!? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] >DARKMAN<:
I'm running his rom and it is the best rom I have used! But everyone has a right to their opinion. Also has anyone kindly asked him to? Or why he won't? Anyways, I still like his work.

[Acer Iconia A500] Turboboxer:
I would rather be flamed with the links, if you are going to comment.

I searched and even asked a mod. I am glad OP posted this one. Now I know.

I have been running Thor's ROM and Kernal and have had ZERO count them ZERO issues. Everything runs smooth. Battery life is awesome. no complaints and as far as I can tell, I have no need to update. Maybe if ICS comes but this is pretty damn perfect.
[Acer Iconia A500] mswirski:
It's a pretty simple matter from what I understand.

Everything on XDA must be GPL. This means you must share the source code for all of the work that you do. This makes sense because your constantly building on others efforts, and should give credit where it is do. Also being built on linux means the very foundations of android are GPL.

In this case, Thor did not publish the source code to his kernel. For that reason, it (and his roms which use it) cannot be put on XDA.

It's considered 'warez' because he is breaking the license agreement of the kernel (the GPL). Any software which violates a license agreement is illegal, and thus, warez.

Why he did not give the source for his kernel, I do not know. It is not, however, an issue of whether his software performs well or not. For this reason, many choose to run his roms anyways.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
The interesting thing is, cwm uses thor's kernel and they haven't banned it since we have no alternative at this time. I did see someone in the development section is working on a gpl compliant recovery. The nice thing is, it is very easy to visit thor's site and download what you need.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
No one has said he does bad work.

Do you know what information your OS is sending out, possibly to Thor himself?

Quick answer....h3ll no!

Why? Because he refuses to release his source code which is in direct violation of the GPL which everyone else (at least here at XDA does).

And that's the only reason I won't allow his work to touch my tab.

The alternate CWM posted in the dev section is good enough to flash with, which is all I need (never do backups), so at least I know what my ROM is doing, and I KNOW you both CAN'T say the same about your tabs. Not flaming, just pointing out something most people aren't aware of. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dman918:
Icy Faux FTW!

I liked Thor's ROM but why load a ROM with parts not working? Both auto brightness and hardware screen lock don't work. When other ROMs have it working and seem to run just as well (again, Honeylicious FTW), why bother with it? I do, however, run his Kernel. ;)

My 2 cents....

Rock on! Glad to know exactly why. I did do some research and tried to find a definite answer but couldn't find an exact one as bluntly as my questions were.

So, to all who answered my questions, THANK YOU! I appreciate it.

Mad props to all of y'all for definitely being smarter than I. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
This part is not completely true.

Only code that is licensed under the GPL, such as kernel code, must be shared. Code from other licenses like Apache (which covers the userspace of Android), are not required to be shared and so don't have to be.

So basically, Thor doesn't have to release source for his ROM's, but he DOES for his kernel. He's been asked to several times but flatly refuses and the only reason ever give is that people steal his work, which is nonesense as it's not his work to start with.
[Acer Iconia A500] blancocar:
Reading this thread is making me paranoid.

I have installed several different ROMs on my new A500. I keep going back to Thor's 14.2 ROM. For what I want out of my tablet, it is my favorite. He does great work.

Any reason to think Thor is trustworthy or untrustworthy? I am considering abandoning the Thor 14.2 ROM because blatantly violating the GPL agreement just isn't cool and having concerns about what he may or may not be doing in the background kinda sucks.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
There is no real reason to suspect Thor is doing anything untoward in his ROM. It's possible he is, but it's equally possible he isn't. The main objection is the blatant disregard he shows to the thousands of developers who's work he is stealing.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
No, sorry, I have nothing better to contribute right now, I just thought Floatie needs some attention.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

Well, ignoring GPL license and just ripping off the work of others does show some questionable personality traits, but other than that I don't see any reason to suspect he'd actually be spying on people. Of course, there's no saying he won't start doing it sometime in the future if he's offered enough "incentive" to do so.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
The problem is that without him publishing his source code, you'll never know what he's doing.

Not saying he is, or isn't doing anything in the background. Thanks to the GPL most of the major phone carriers were caught using Carrier IQ (Google that if you'd like a real scare), and without Thor's source code, you'll never know without him publishing his source.;)

Floatie.. HOW CUTE

+++++++1

You gotta love xda...

he is not the only cutie on here . Just saying.. ;);););)

I think thor is only hiding the fact that the work is not really his... But feels Bigger then others .. so he hides ... but who knows for sure..
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
I do know that devs come up with some awesome feature to put in their roms, this happened on the sgs2 forum with the Rarity rom. The dev shared his idea and the next thing was 1 or 2 new roms incorporating what he wanted to do but hadn't finished yet.

I know this is done in the spirit of sharing and to benefit the community but when things you are working hard to do are essentially copied and take away your moment of triumph, the fact you can say "I did this first", then it does get frustrating.... We lost a kickass dev over that...

Thor maybe up to no good or he may have a few things he wants to improve on before releasing to the community, only time will tell, and you may never know....:p

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xb360:
Good day,

I'm having problem with my DHD unable to be recognized in my Win 7 PC. I have already install HTC Sync and also tick on "Ask Me" for Connect To PC setting. I'm running on stock 3.13.707.4 ROM with S-ON and unrooted. Even restart to Fastboot my PC still unable to recognized my DHD.

From Googling it shows many Desire having USB-Brick problem, does this problem also applied to DHD? Is it my phone is hit by USB-Brick? Any guide to solve this problem? I've tried flashing older ROM via Bootloader and PD98IMG.zip but it won't allow saying something like the ROM is older version.

I just bought this used phone for about a week so I'm still not sure on how to solved this problem. any helps is much appreciated. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
are you using the original cord that came with the phone? just any old usb cable won't work

also you can't flash a new rom without rooting and gaining S-OFF, you're unrooted and S-ON, that's why you get the "version is older" message
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xb360:
I bought the phone and it came with 1 cord (with HTC label) that can be connected to the charger, I guess there are only 1 cord for charging and connect to PC? This is the cord that I use. In addition to that I have also tried Motorola, Sony Ericsson (both also for Android phone) and Nokia cord but all can't.

The ROM is actually older version stock ROM from RUU.exe. I saw from few Desire thread they were using this method to restore the ROM to before the USB Brick condition so I thought to try it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xb360:
BUMP!

Anyone know what should I do to resolve this problem?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
Are you running the very latest HTC Sync on your PC? I'm using 3.0.5606. You can get it here: http://www.htc.com/www/help/

Also, connect your phone and go into Device Manager on your PC. Check to see if you have an entry for Android USB Devices and that the phone shows up. See attached screenshot for how mine looks. This is the best place to check to see if your PC has installed the drivers correctly.

In answer to your question about the cable, yes it's the same cable that attaches to the PC or to the mains charger. I've sometimes had connection problems caused by a dodgy cable, but I've used others apart from the HTC one without issues.

Edit: Also, when you install HTC Sync it should warn you to disable Antivirus software during the installation. This can be really important! I ignored it the first time around, thinking it was just a silly precaution, and had loads of problems with the phone not being recognised. Had to uninstall, temporarily disable AV, and re-install HTC Sync. Once it has finished installing, you can turn your AV back on.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xb360:
Thank you for your reply preacher6.

Yes, I'm using the latest HTC Sync, v3.0.5606, just downloaded yesterday and reinstall everything.

When my phone connected to the PC it didn't appear as Android USB Device on my Device Manager, it only appear as Unknown Device in USB Controller:

So I guess I can rule out the cable as I have tried about 4 cables already.

For the installation part, I have disable the anti virus and also running the setup program as administrator. When installing there is no problem whatsoever that crop out.

Another point is, even on Fastboot it appear as Unknown Device in the PC.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
I would try to update the driver manually - right click on the Unknown device, go to "install driver" or "update driver", then browse to the "Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver" folder. See if it picks up and installs the correct driver.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xb360:
I've tried manually update the driver as per your advise but it says there is no compatible driver in that folder even though androidusb.inf is in that folder.

I'm running Win 7 64bit. does the driver also work for 64bit OS?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
Should do, yes, I'm on Win7 64 bit myself. There is this folder on my PC:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64

Is the unknown device present when the phone isn't connected? Just to make sure that is actually the phone - if it's still there when the phone isn't connected, it's some other device.

Otherwise try uninstalling the unknown device and then rebooting the PC, then forcing the installation of the drivers again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xb360:
The folder is same as yours.

The unknown device does not present when my DHD is not connected, so I'm certain it is the phone that appear as unknown device.

I have tried uninstalling the unknown device > reboot PC > installing the driver but it still won't install.

Another thing is, I check on the Device Manager > Unknown Device properties > Details" for it's Hardware Ids and it shows as USB\UNKNOWN. I think it should show a strings of the device id? Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
Yep, there should be a proper device ID string, on charge mode mine shows a hardware ID of USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0CA2&REV_0226&MI_01.

At this point the best thing I can suggest is to try on another PC. If it works, your drivers are screwed up and you'll need to strip them and reinstall. But if it doesn't work on another PC, it's possible you have a hardware problem with the phone. :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmastman83:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FossaFX:
I need help too (HTC Desire Z device)

Is it hardware problem? (I already purchased new system board).

For me it looks like hardware problem, because device does not accept bus address, do not show USB strings/VID/PID (Tried different cables/PCs/OSes (I have OpenSUSE linux, but phone does not connect to usb on any PC, Windows PCs even do not understand that something plugged in)).

No problems with USB-connector (checked resistance), but I do not see pull-down resistance with my tester.

But all other functions work well.

UPD. Tried to connect from FASBOOT/HBOOT/Android - the same result, device does not accept bus adress. Additionally it charges without problems, but when I connect phone to USB no pop-up/information at top bar appears.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marknoll:
I am trying to understand what exactly are you asking me . are you asking me if the PC can recognize your device ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FossaFX:
Sorry, it looks like I explained my question wrong (I'm Russian, and English do not native to me). Let me try reformulate:

You said "Yes. Holla if you still need help" so I believe that you were able to fix "Device not recognized" problem. So I'm asking - how did you do it? Did problem was hardware or software?

For me (look at symptoms at my previous message) it looks like dead USB controller in phone. But maybe it very strange software problem (USB-controller firmware damaged)?

Did I explain it clear now?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marknoll:
After installing and updating SDK...go into platform folder and open it. Hold mouse in field and hold shift and right click mouse. Chose "open cmd here"..that will open a cmd prompt window. In regular mode on phone,type "adb devices" should return numbers (ex: hta3829g)..if in bootloader mode,type "fastboot devices" should return numbers.

This SDK helps PC see your phone when its plugged in. Especially handy when a PC won't install drivers for your phone

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FossaFX:
Sorry, dude, but you completely do not understand me. I have no problem with drivers (also I can't go to platform folder etc because I'm using OpenSUSE Linux and FreeBSD). Device does not getting USB ADDRESS after plugging it. USB address is not IP address or something else. It's close to hardware - it unique 7-bit address which device gets from USB host controller when plugged in.

It doesn't getting address in any mode (mass storage, MTP etc) and phone never shows request about "What connection mode to use?" when plugged in. In only charges via USB.

I believe that it's a dead USB controller in phone and pretty sure that phone's endpoint0 doesn't answer at all. Maybe I'll borrow intercepting USB-analyzer from colleague and look at signals at bus on hardware level.

Please, read this Wikipedia page (or USB specifications) to understand what I'm talking about: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#System_design

Short copypasta from Wikipedia:

In my case PC's host controller cannot read any descriptors from device, initial (after bus reset) configuration sequence fails and device does'n accept any bus address. So installing any drivers willn't help at all.

Sorry for being rude.

Please sign this petition https://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/htcbootloader

This petitiion is to ask HTC to make a bootloader unlock tool for the Wildfire S so users can do what they want with the device they bought including using modified boot, recovery and system images. I feel that HTC should not lock there bootloaders at all because once a customer has bought the phone it is no longer HTC's property it belongs to the customer after buying the handset. So please HTC allow use to unlock are bootloaders so we can modifiy are phones the way we want them to be.

how do you delete it, and by any chance, do you know the link were the sensation xe is located?

it really depends on what you want. if you want gingerbread or ICS or the developer. most of them come with the XE beats audio. and to do this you need to flash a recovery

read here to get a recovery and making sure you have SuperCID,Unlocked,Rooted, and clockworkmod
