Mine is even worse not even the metal layer has been scratched off but the keypad is also cracked in the middle and the scroll-wheel does not work
[Touch Cruise Accessories] wagner51:
This keypad is really a crap. And the phone surface is not guaranteed by HTC (of course)! :mad:

I will receive an HD 2 in a few days. My operator could rebuy my Polaris for 18 € (for recycling it) :)

same problem

I am facing the same problem: the metallic-coated front panel is scratchy, and just last week it was broken from the upper middle section. If anyone could give advice on how to fix/replace it, it would be most appreciated.

Hi,

I renamed the ROM to unzip.zip and sent to SD card. Did the update but now I have the loop by the HTC screen. What to do? Where can I find a special guide? Maybe this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3874647&postcount=406

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
I just updated to HERO without any single problem.

These are the steps that I followed:

1. Download the hero build from the first post plus the app_s.zip file from this link (Haykuro'y link):

http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/app_s.zip

2. Partition the SDCARD. I used for this an external sdcard reader (faster and easier)

You need to have 2 partitions in the sdcard, the current one, plus an EXT2 partition.

I have a Macbook so, what i did in order to partition is run my Ubuntu installation through VMWARE and use Gparted for the purpose.

Doing this, i didn't lose any information form my current FAT partition in the sdcard. Gparted resized it and created space at the end of the partition table for the new ext2 partition.

If you have windows, there are people explaining how to do it in the dream forum.

If you want to use MAC OS X, you can install the following file and use the Disk Utility from MAC.

http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=64713&filename=Ext2FS_1.4d4.dmg&a=64049544

The disadvantage from this method is that (I'm guessing) you will lose the date from the complete sdcard while you make the new ext2 partition.

You will have to copy everything again, but it's not that bad ;)

3. Once the sdcard is prepared, put it in the Magic and reboot.

The reason to reboot is that the OS (at least the Ion OS that I had) will recognize the new partition and will mount it in the route /system/sd

4. Copy the hero rom in the root folder of the sdcard, us update.zip. I mean, like we always do when we want to update with a new firmware.

For example: adb push hero-sapphire-signed.zip /sdcard/update.zip

5. Copy the app_s.zip file to the sdcard also:

adb push app_s.zip /sdcard/

6. Now from the computer we will copy app_s.zip to the ext2 partition and extract it.

adb shell

su

cp /sdcard/app_s.zip /system/sd

cd /system/sd

unzip app_s.zip

7. Once done this i just deleted app_s.zip as i think i will not need it again:

rm app_s.zip

8. Now you switch off the phone and restart pressing HOME+POWER in order to apply the update.zip (hero firmware) from the recovery menu.

Before doing that I would suggest (like the rest of the people in the forum) to wipe first, and then update.

And that's all.

Enjoy the new Hero.

I will later tweak it with some things that the Dream guys suggest in order to make it run smoother.

If it work, I will post it too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yukkio:
Thanks for your guide! I have a question about app to sd. My sd is a class2 card and i've read it isn't recommendable to install app to sd because that kind of sd cards are slow and android doesn't run smooth. Is it true?

BR.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
Hi,

I know that I read something like that in the Dream forum but I cannot really help you as I'm not an expert with the different kind of sdcards.

I'm just using the one that came with my Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] es_pirulo:

So i suposse you have a class2 card. In spain magic comes with this kind of card. Do you feel your magic smooth using app to sd ?

BR.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
right now i have app_s in /data and not in the ext2 partition of the sdcard as i wanted to test also the other Hero version that QTeknology posted but, of course i notice lag.

What I don't know if it is because Hero is too slow or because of the access to the sdcard.

HELP>>>>>

I have flashed this update and all went well.

now however I have a phone that simply keeps flashing up htc with the little man and doesnt go beyond. oh and plays a tune

Any ideas please
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
There are a lot of comments about endless loops while installing Hero in the Dream post. Go to this post and search there for the solutions.

I think it has something to do with not placing correctly app_s in the ext2 partition.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=521059
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
Thanks.

got past that, now I need to do the apps to sd properly is there a guide around for the Sapphire.

I guess the one here for the dream just needs altering as It appears to put data to phone. rather than sd card am i correct.

Getting there once again thanks to the support here on XDA DEV
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
I guess it will be very helpful if you let us know what you did to fix it as I guess that other people could have the same problem ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
No worries to get rid of the loop htc all I have to do was boot up phone using home and power. then in command prompt use adb to push apps_s to my sd card.

then reboot.

Hope this helps happy to answer questions if needed but that is all it took.

on another note how the hell can I partition the sd card in my htc magic and then how do I get all the programs pushed to it

cheers in advance

Trying to set-up access to my pop email account, but the htc mail set-up does not allow input of a user name? Can key in email address, pop/smtp mail servers etc., but nowhere to put in a user name. I think it is assuming the email address is the username, which is not true in my case.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] triggaldn:

Are there notable differences in metter of usage and stability between this one with app pack to SD and the other ROM variant wich install all packs in main mem? The second one is very slow and not stable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
Hi asci,

Right now I have the other Rom, with the apps in the main memory as my sdcard is too slow to handle the apps. I disable Rosie and created odex files for all the apks and it runs much better than at the beginning.

I will receive soon a new class 6 sdcard and i will try haykuro's rom but until then, I cannot really compare. It's not fair to compare with a class 2 sdcard where the transfer rate is so slow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 22350:
here is what i did

This is a log of a terminal session, in which Haykuro walked me through fixing that problem:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 22350:
but of course, now mine is cycling and won't get past the htc.

I already had my phone rooted and set for apps to sd card.

someone mentioned using adb to push the apps to the sd card. Could you give us a command?

I did load a file called "spl-signed" don't know if I screwed up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
So, to be clear, which Hero Rom did you installed? Haykuro Rom or nk02?

The difference is that haykuro's rom needs to have apps from the app_s.zip file extracted in an ext2 partition in the sdcard.

nk02's rom is more straight forward as everything is installed in the device memory and that's done simply upgrading through an update.zip file in recovery mode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 22350:
i installed the haykuro rom. i did push the app_s folder to the sd card with:

The transfer didn't finish. Said that it didn't have enough room and didn't install office.

I also installed SPL 1.33.2005 & radio 2.22.19.26l
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wassss:
transfered app_s with paragon partition to my partitionned sdcard

works great

hero rom freeze a lot, I've overclocked with setcpu and it frozes less but not stability.

okay i own a HTC touch dual, and in my quest for a decent media player i am stuck with kinoma as nothign else does it for me but then i saw the interface on the Xperia and i WANT IT, i dont want the panels, i want the media player with its XMB interface, IS THIS POSSIBLE

please iv searched the forums and come up naught
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
buy xperia!
[XPERIA X1 General] exekias:
No

For a senior member on a site biased to modding, that was such a stupid answer.

Do you give that answer to everyone out their who wanted TouchFlo 3d on their NOT-HTC device

or maybe your wanting to send me the $1400 (nzd) needed for xperia, if so cough up, or maybe just read the post again, i have a htc touch dual, not a friggin xperia and all i want is a good music media app that is good and ascetically pleasing and the xperia has that pegged, and if you read my post again you will see i just want the media app, i dont want the panels or the haptic touch screen or the large bulk or that device, i just want the software which this website has proven time and time again that their is always some smart cookie who can supply the deman.

btw if i had the money for xperia, i would buy an android device. and veer entirely away from WinMo and Apples bastardized leopard port. :P

what i want is that blue XMB interface and the black media player, and no unfortunately the WMP on my HTC Neon is like most parts of the the OS the most un-ascetically pleasing thing going

MAybe it`s a skin. Do you have a picture, for what you look for ?
[XPERIA X1 General] exekias:
nope

Thats the hard thing iv read about it, even seen vids about it, but they are few and far between, its like im the only one intrigued by the music player, heres a quote from Mobile tech review

"The Sony Ericsson Xperia, rather than slumming it with Windows Media Player Mobile, adds its own media player, accessible as a panel. This looks just like the media player on the Sony PSP and high end Sony Ericsson feature phones like the K850i and walkman phones. It handles photo viewing, video playback and music playback. We particularly like the music player, whose look, feel and features are top notch"

Any way just open up your Xperia, go into the music panel and their it is, the music player!!
[XPERIA X1 General] NEO130:
If you mean this, thats `s the SE Media Panel. You can search for it as a cab and try it yourself. I don`t no if this works on a non Xperia.

well i will get working on a port straight away then.

Yes, why haven't you already started, and have you cured cancer yet? or how about finding that plane from France that just went down? and after you have done them can you teach me French in under 24 hours, because you obviously just picked up the list of things i wasn't asking YOU to do, i asked the community, not you in particular, i didn't come groveling to you specifically for a quick solution, i just wanted to know information, information that has now been supplied to me by the community, the community of whom i asked.

If you'd of just searched through the internet and xda for the media panel you wouldnt have needed to start a thread about it in the first place - maybe you should do that in the future since those were the answers you got...
[XPERIA X1 General] bnaut:
It is PEACH. Sometimes. I'm ok with the panel when it's plain blue but I think it changes backgrund color on a schedule. ?? At least I cannot find any settings or way to disable... peach.

It's also sort of oversensitive on the metatagging thing. My music library is in perfect order when I browse the library in the plain windows mobile player, no unknown artists or albums or whatsoever. The panel library always find some tags I didn't know are there - and I run the albums both in Mp3 tagger and Ashampoo music studio before I synch to the device.

Point is: don't have too high expectations, it's not that good.
[XPERIA X1 General] exekias:
wrong again

No you misunderstood yet again, but thats okay you probably just "donated' your way into being a senior member, i All i knew is that xperia had panels and a cool looking media player, i didnt no wat is was called and everytime i searched google i got naught, the closest i got was a a mod for the HTC touch PRO HD, which if u knew your sh!t wud no that it wudnt work on my htc touch dual becaus i have a vga screen as a the HD has a WVGA HD screen, i dont want the panels application, i just want the Sony ericson music player application and that previous poster kinda lead me on a red herring, please just bow out now, go find sum other person to say dumb **** too, and keep donating kuz mayb ull ba a moderator one day..,.

[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
lol...that was very patient of u handling all that flaming,comerade :)

as to exekias, if he ever comeback and read this, u need to know few things:

1. its called Media panel

2. all xperia panel runs on Panel manager

3. as far as i know, its a pain in the @ss to even port panel manager to other device. I've seen some guys tried to do it in the touch hd board,and its still not stable yet. He didnt even release the thing to public because it was so buggy.

4. Resizing the media panel with all that eye candy stuff to vga would be a pain too (i imagine)

5. perhaps u should ask in in ur touch dual forum? i mean it would make more sense that people on ur forum would want to convert it to touch dual? if u know what i mean...we dont go to any other forum asking for them to bring touhflo 3d to xperia dont we? the people in xperia forum created the port...

thats just my 5 cents, correct me if im wrong.

sorry for the english too :p
