Help Newbie here!

I'm trying to put this hero build on my Sprint Touch (Vogue) but I dont know how to:

1. code the default.txt file. Can someone give me the code?

2. SD mount. I don't understand how to put the file on my sd...I don't have an sd slot on my phone.

Please help. Thanks.

Caps lock

Loving this build running on my kaiser.

Any way to add the HTC people widget, the only HTC one i like :)

Also my Caps/Shift key is ignored on my keyboard, still comes out lowercase.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
I'll do that in my next build. It was just a quick fix as I was anxious to try the new rootfs. Great job btw you've got the magic touch.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
I'm glad it's running on your kaiser and sorry I don't have an answer for your keyboard problem.
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
no sms...

I was enjoying your build, seeing how fast it moves but come to find out my boss has been txting me all morning... I was supposed to work today. My cell was on silent and no txts are now coming thru, any one having the same issue? Im using the files from you google code page except my default.txt
[Touch CDMA General] diagdave:
Thats ok, its still running amazing.

Any change of the HTC People widget?

Anything we can do too help?

Cheers

[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
The only thing you should have to change in the default.txt is the panel type to the option 1, 2, or 3 that works with your vogue and the resolution to 320 x 480.

As far as the SD card, you need a microsd card and there is a slot on the phone. You have to take off the battery cover and lift the silver bar on the side of the phone with the camera button. You can either plug your phone into the computer with windows running and sync files over or put the SD card into your computer if you have a microslot... or use an adapter to a full size sd card.

Make sure that the files are on the root of your SDCard.

Facebook and Peep (twitter) widgets

If one installed the BackInBlack image, is there any way to add on the twitter and facebook and other stripped HTC widgets after the fact? Or are they gone for good?
[Touch CDMA General] diagdave:
Anyone having trouble import sim contacts?
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
theres no useful info there just more people who cant get sms either... gonna try mssmissions lite build for the remainder of the day. I need my sms I already got writen up at work haha love your lite build tho, with taskiller full this thing runs fast as hell.... if ony dev tools would work to limit the number of apps >=[
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
looks really nice but its way too slow with too many app crashes my man. :(
[Touch CDMA General] diagdave:
No Way

No way, best Hero build ive used. only having minor problems at the mo, so stable thought about making it auto start on windows mobile.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
compared to mmissions, its super slow on my vogue.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
What? Did you do a fresh install? I've been running is build for a while haven't seen one app crash.
[Touch CDMA General] diagdave:
me too its so fast. only a few bugs. anyone found away to fix gallery?

im reading the other posts incase i missed something. Cheers
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
You know what. This is the last build I'm putting out. Comments like this don't solve anything. So thanks and goodbye.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
hey i wasnt putting you down man, im just saying i was having issues.
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
Wow, on idiot says something stupid and you pull your build, very professional. I can't wait to leave this site.
[Touch CDMA General] no13od4:
Trying to install...

Thanks, I found my micro sd slot. I extracted Hero to my sd card. I'm assuming the root is the sdcard:\ area. I also put zImage in that same area and ran Haret. The screen goes blank. I left it for 10-15 min and nothing happens. Do you know what could be the problem? I added "lcd.density=160" after "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480" which I'm assuming is the 320x480 resolution. I didn't put anything in for username and password. Is that ok? I dont think I made a username and password for my phone. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
who are you calling an idiot? what im not allowed to comment on his build? grow up please! btw...very childish to pull you build man. whats the matter you cant take constructive criticism?
[Touch CDMA General] loserskater:
I really hope this is a joke... your build has been the most stable one I've used! I hate to see developers leave over something like this.
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
seriously no need to quit, love how fast your build moves but my txt msgs are vital to me. Im tryin to learn how to code for android so for now its you and mssmission who are pushing this ish where it needs to go so for a few comments to bother u seems ridiculous. keep on plugging away dude we need your work despite the whiners
[Touch CDMA General] omgwtfbbqkthxbai:
i don't want this to get too ugly, but your criticism is some of the least informed and really not very constructive at all. you are very vocal but the question is, "why?"
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
zenulator - dont listen to anyone, i can honestly say that ur builds are awesome.. i mean i have had no crashes considering that I am running experimental builds loading up everything and still my phone is awesome... pls dont stop now.. u really did a lot to the hero ui and was waiting for the day when i could load ur builds into ROM... chalk it up to hardware problems as u are trying to support a large community and trust even the vogues are not the same for everyone.. pls dont leave this community..
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Sorry man thats not constructive criticism. Neither is calling me childish. I'm just going to go back to keeping my builds to myself. I made my builds for myself because I wanted to see hero and sense ui on the vogue and couldn't wait for mssmisions. I did this myself. I put it out there to share with everyone else. Now I'm done.
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
**** it then dude, if ur gone then your gone. thanks for a sweet build wish my sms would have worked but ill try new files with it and get it to work with backinblack (I save EVERY file even if I dont use them for archive). Like I said im starting to mess with these builds as well. i wanted practice before I got my actual Hero on Oct 11th =] Thanks for the inspiration both you an mssmission have showed me a lot and cant wait to see what devs like you put out when we have the actual hero to mess with...

beer money your way dude as soon as im paid this sunday, bank on it
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
MOM..DAD..can we PLEASE stop fighting..its CHRISTmas for goodness sake..(at least each new build feels that way!)

C'mon gents..we all say things we don't mean in the way it's taken..Z, dont quit man..you said you had somethin' cookin..don't leave the kitchen just yet. I mean..some people prefer generic brand cookies over Oreos..should Nabisco pull their fantastic product?!! Your build is the "Vogue's Favorite Hero"..keep it comin, boss!
[Touch CDMA General] prodigy2m:
C'om on

Hey, seriously quit on all of the people because of one person that said something inappropriate?... Dude, you better than that, you make this build like no one else. It actually works, so some people will always complain but it has nothing to do with the rest of the population. Just forget it... And continue cooking your great HERO!!! Lol... Smile and come back. :D

Let's all be HERO Friends !!!
[Touch CDMA General] theelite:
the criticism might not of been constructive, but hey with anything one puts out in the world it will have it's criticisms, but the praise should overshadow the criticisms by a mile, and I think in the majority of this thread you have gotten more praises than anything.

I loaded up your build today and liked what you had going.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i never said it didn't look nice, i said it ran slow on my phone, thats all. jesus man all chefs get criticism about their projects, it's the way it goes im afraid. no need to pull you build and you should keep improving it. :rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Thanks everyone for testing my builds. I'm done supporting this thread. The google code page is down. The build might get uploaded to vilord's site. So let this thread die.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
why are you acting like a child throwing a fit because a few people said your build was slow? come on man, don't pull it down, if it makes you feel better im sorry for giving my opinion. ;)
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i mean don't you think nfsfan gets alot of crap over his vogue winmo 6.5 roms? i mean go look at his thread man.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Give up man the thread is dead.
[Touch CDMA General] bmessina:
Oh... This is sad. I was really coming to say how much I love this build. It's been awesome. The only criticism I have is that the texting seems to be lagging and hanging. Other than that, it's been pretty great. Much faster for me than msmissions hero lite build.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
okay, see ya then. you had your mind made up before i even said anything then!
[Touch CDMA General] drprince89:
It's amazing how sensitive some of you guys are, as much as I do appreciate your work and effort some of you need to stop being so sensitive, im gonna hold back harsher words but thats now two android devs that go crazy over a meaningless and insignificant comment. Grow up guys stop getting so emotional over insignificant crap.
[Touch CDMA General] nuttsak:
You can't expect that there aren't going to be dumb asses out there that post crap in these threads. What benefit is there with "it's slow"? If people would only post information that is beneficial to the thread and ****ing read, so I don't have to hunt for good material. How many times has the SMS issue been talked about... it sends, but the system doesn't read it as being sent... jesus christ.

All I've got to say is **** these other ass holes... live long Hero....

Thanks for re-opening the google code page by the way... you rock dude... forget them
[Touch 3G General] Slash Tsai:
I had found the "T-Back 6.5 BT Driver" CAB file to FIX(release) TouchFLO 3D in AVRCP occupancy.

I use the driver patch on HTC D2, and its WORKS! So the PocketMusic can use AVRCP control. :)

But when I use the patch on Jade (Manilla 2D, TouchFLO 2D) , its work FALSE! :( Even bluetooth can't create A2DP connection... :eek:

Anyone can solve this? :confused:

[Touch CDMA General] willy1234x1:
So I just flashed my ROM to NFSFAN'S v13 and it installed and runs like a dream but I can't seem to get the today screen and start menu to look like the new WinMo 6.5 style. In fact it's missing entirely, has anyone encountered this and if so what's the fix? Thanks in advance. :)
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
reflash, maybe something wrong happened when flashing
[Touch CDMA General] willy1234x1:
Alright sounds good, is there a way to back up my contacts? I don't really feel like setting them up again.
[Touch CDMA General] willy1234x1:
Quick question how do I flash my radio only? I can't get it to work, I want to get my phone on 3.42.50 but the rom doesn't include a radio with it.
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
You need to get the latest ROM from Bell Mobility. If you search around for 'Bell Vogue ROM' or something like that, you'll find it. This will get your radio up to 3.42.50. It's important that after the ROM installs, you do not let the customizations run (aka soft-reset your phone after the first boot.) Then, re-flash NFSFAN's ROM following his instructions and you're good to go!

As for backing up your contacts, I haven't updated my NFSFAN ROM since V9 (moved to Android nearly full-time) but it should include an app called PIMBackup. This will allow you to choose what PIM info you want to back up and save it to your SD card. You could also use Microsoft My Phone. I forget the website you have to go to to sign up, but the app should be included in the ROM.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
pim back up can back up just about everything including contacts
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
Alright, I baught my G1 from a friend off Craigslist and I got it unlocked so I could use my g1 with AT&T. The phone was great for a few weeks. Now it just randomly turns off, it sometimes restarts but most of the time I have to take the battery out and put it back in.

I did a google search about it and read a few things but their situation isn't exactly like mine.

When it turns off and stays off (wont respond to On Button) there is a red light near the speaker that is just constantly on and wont turn off, even when the phone is unresponsive.

I use a generic USB plug to charge my G1 from my PC.

My phone has root abilitys but I had this problem before I enabled root.

Does this on all versions RC29 to the Current Cupcake

Do I need to send the phone to HTC?

Do I need to get a new Battery?

Can I buy the battery retail or from only HTC?

Will HTC service my phone even though I got it off CL?

This phone was purchased around Sept last year (when the owner orginally had it)

EDIT: Phone turned off again, started with the T-Mobile logo. I shut the slider so its closed and it turned off. Will not turn back on.

I tried a little bit close to 30 times now and no response.

Thank you in advanced for the help and replies.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Sounds like a hardware problem. Did the phone ever suffer water damage or a drop?
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
Nope, no water damage and no drops that I could think of.

probably a few minor ones but nothing such as a serious drop (onto concrete or floor)
[G1 General] uansari1:
Unroot and flash back to the original ROM, then contact HTC. They will cover it under warranty...all you pay is shipping it to Houston.
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
I cannot turn on my G1, to unroot it.

I was pretty sure having a rooted phone didn't void the warranty anyways?
[G1 General] Senorkabob:
Rooting your phone doesn't void the warranty

It sounds like you have water damage.
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
Thats weird, How could I have water damage if I was so anal about not getting it wet or even bringing it into the bathroom with me =S

Is there any other reason for this malfunction that fits other then water damage?

Will they still fix it if signs point towards WD?

Personally I don't think it could be water damage since I'm always in dry areas with it and I don't even use it when I'm eating or in the bathroom.

but who knows =/
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
The way to tell if there is water damage is there is a small sticker on the inside by the battery and another one on the battery. If it still looks like its red and white (may look pink) then you straight it shouldn't be water damage.
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
Its black with white letters, the same it has always been. So its not WD.

On the battery its a red mesh with white, I'm not sure if it means water damage because I'm a bit confused about your last post. I licked the end of this battery before I went to bed to see if it held a charge and it does.

So the phone's sticker says no WD and the Battery has a red mesh of red over white but not a thick red line in the center.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
Your right its not water damage. As long as you see the red mesh that means its straight. And my bad wasn't tryna be confusing its to early and not enough coffee.
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
Haha I know exactly how you feel on that one, i have to go to Red Rock Casino today and its going to be really depressing not bringing my G1 rofl.

What could this be?

It use to shut off on me randomly but never permanently like now.

I read online that this happened to someone else and he waited some hours and put in his battery and it started back up but so far nothing has happened when I put it in this morning.

Is there a major defect in the G1s that cause them to do this or is my situation a "How in the hell could that happen o.O" kind of thing.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
If you have a second battery try that if not I would say maybe go by a t mobile store or any other store that sells batteries for it and possibly try a different battery. Maybe there could be a connection problem for charging, but then again that may not be the problem. Last month my phone took the slightest fall and never turned back on and I know I've dropped my phone much harder than that. If you had t mobile then I would say go to the store and have them replace saying your going out of town and really need it. When mine broke I just took it to the store and they replaced it there so no need to use the warranty and wait on the mail man.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
And o yea I hate you. lol. Wish I could go.
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
Eh, I'm not a T-Mo costumer though.

Would they still look at the phone either way?

Haha, oh yes be jealous xD
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
Maybe you could try but I highly doubt it.

I hope you lose everything. lol
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
damn it.

That's not good for me, would HTC still fix it under warranty?

I'm going to get rich ^_^

All seriousness though I'm only 18 I can't legally gamble, we are just going there to eat and hang out.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
Yea it is still under warranty with htc. Don't worry I'm 26 and ain't been gamblin yet (besides shootin dice). Been wantin to go but I know i'll get outragious with it and might lose my house.
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
I'm on live chat with T-Mobile and they told me to contact AT&T and I gave them hell. I hope I get this resolved today or my phone magically starts working for no known reason.

I'm not much of a gambler ironically enough, I was born and raised here in Las Vegas rofl.

EDIT: I contacted HTC and they say having root access is hacking the phone and installing illegal software and they wont RMA it.

So I told them go ahead and just forget because I have root. The phone wont charge or anything.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
aagggghhhhh you shouldn't have told them you gained root or modified it at all. Did you give them any info, or can you call back and try again?
[G1 General] CrazyEye:
I didn't tell them they told me that in order to do an RMA I need to have phone that wasn't damaged physically and a phone without any illegal software on it. So I asked them if having root was illegal (after reading constantly online that it wouldn't void the warranty) they said yes.

It would cost me an extra hundred dollars to have them fix it if they find out it was rooted.

Edit: The Hundred dollars would be billed to a credit card that I have to supply when RMAing. I don't have a credit card. I think their a waste but now I need one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrrkrrkx:
can anyone who is lucky enough to have a Hero already comment on the battery life?

i find that the 1.5 port i have on my Polaris tears through the battery like i have never seen before. (even with all widgets disabled)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liamhere:
don't forget the hero has a 1350 battery fitted as standard

i have no problems with my hero and battery life....so far

As long as you dont enable GPS its fine. I get through the day with about 1/4 left.

And I Browse through wifi for about 1 hr on it. few calls, lots of txts. Few games. few apps like wifi fixer, locale

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaman85:
The battery life is better then my Touch HD and deffinetly better then my Diamond, and even when I keep wifi running I can get through a day without trouble,

I'm really surprised how long it lasts, wasn't expected at all,

Imagine how good it will be when an 1500mah or higher battery comes out :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqrab:
hi guys

im thinking of having the hero

jast a small Q

is the hero battery size is the same one as the touch HD battery size ???? (i didnt mean the capacity i mean the size of battery)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicelad_uk:
No, its thinner but longer. The HD is Shorter but fatter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
One thing I would add about battery life, and that is that when on standby it is excellent.

My Hero came off charge yesterday at about 11am and essentially sat on my desk barely being touched for the rest off the day - a couple of phone calls, a text message, and a few emails. According to the meter on the phone status, I'm at 70%, which means I'd probably have no qualms picking it up and going out now without worrying too much about my battery life.

On my G1, I know that had I left the phone for 24 hours on standby, I'd probably be down to less than 25% by now.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
I have not had my Hero long enough to make much of a comment on battery life though I had nothing to complain about until this morning.

I went to bed with about half battery life indicated and I just left the phone. When I got up this morning it had low battery - very unexpected.

I left WiFi off but I have left most settings at their default which means that the phone will be auto syncing my Google account for instance. Can anyone. suggest anything that will help me?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
My phone has been off charge now for 48 hours, and although it has been idle most of that time, it is still showing 40% battery life - uptime is 50hr 47mins, and awake time only 2hrs 21mins.

Are you sure you weren't running something that would drain the power? Also, check to see if the phone is continually dropping from 3G to 2G and back again as this will drain power significantly.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
Well, to be honest, anything is possible! I dont have amazing reception at home but I still think that was unusual battery drain. Has your phone been constantly connected? I know mine is all the time because of the auto sync with Google.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I guess so - I'm getting 3 bars HSDPA where it is currently sitting, so I guess the 3G signal is sufficiently strong for it to stay on 3G.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad4ss:
To save more power -

Goto 'settings' > Wireless controls > Mobile Network settings - then switch off 'enable always-on mobile' and if you can 'Data roaming'

You may have other apps that constantly check and refresh, change them to check at longer intervals - like twitter.

I can still browse internet and Market fine this way and battery time is extended.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locutus-of-borg:
Hi peeps

had my hero for about 1 month now this is second hand set and so far battery life is good about 2-3 days light use on idle i get 6-7days which i think is prtty good for what it dose on normal use i get 1-2 days
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatternInChaos:
I'd suggest to charge the hero everyday. For Lithium-ion batteries it's best to keep them over 40% for a longer life-time. They don't suffer if you charge them very frequently.

And don't leave them off at 100% because that will have a negative effect on the life-time.

Hope that helps keeping your batteries in good shape ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locutus-of-borg:
yeah it true its better to keep them topped up but for most people thats not alway possible. And in past i have let batterries go be low that and still got like 18months out of them
