[General Questions and Answers] Taaten:
As i have said i need phone for the internet access, cool apps,watching video, maybe few games( do the old games from pc work on wim?), of course phoning, sending text messages. I am looking for something cool with applicative options.

I don't care about photo camera or pure business amenities. It should be funcional and fulfilling rather entertaining purposes.

What about differences in interface, is any of these significantly better?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grober spass:
at first greetz from germany,( i hope my english is good enough to explain the problem )

i use the new dutty turbo R9 ist great, really fast and stable...

i just have one little problem maybe somebody knows the reason or how to fix it...

i use mobile shell 3.0 as surface for my HTC HD ( Blackstone)

if i push the "call" button on the left then the original dialer including the call list appears.

in the call list including the contacts that appear i have the option to call the number whats shown first in call list or contact,

or

i can push the button on the right to decide if i want to send a message, send email or call another number of the same contact...

when i switch off mobile shell then it works...but if i run mobile shell it doesnt, also the contact button down on the left and the menu button on the right is without function then...

I did a hard reset twice

is there any way to solve this problem or does somebody ever tried this combination ( turbo 9 with mobile shell) ?

would be glad to get same help....

Please post it in the Dutty R9 thread!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maniatico:
i have not try mobile shell on dutty roms, but it could be that mobile shell is not ready to be use with windows mobile 6.5
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] swampy:
I think those buttons you mentioned, only work when manila is enabled.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mandible:
May be spb mobile shell has its own contact program. Once you activate mobile shell the new htc contact is no longer usable. That is why the function on the dialer list is not working, neither the new htc contact would work. Can't think of a way to work around.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
There is already a few threads on mobile shell 3.0 in the Themes, Applications and Software forum as well as Throys own threads. No need to create a new thread. If you ask your query within a mobileshell thread you have more chance of getting a response than asking same question in ROM developemnt forum.

In future try posting in relevent threads and searching before posting.

OK, so I know this isn't the Hero forum but with the amount of people running Android on their Vogues, I know this will be welcome news to a number of people here.

Last night, I was talking to a friend of mine who works at Telus, and he promised me that Telus is getting the Hero this fall. He's 100% sure of this fact.

This also means there's a fair chance that it will come to Bell Canada, Verizon, and/or Sprint.

I'd still rather have the Samsung i7500, but I'll be more than happy with a Hero.
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Sprints supposed release date is Oct 12.
[Touch CDMA General] firehound497:
Any date on the release? It is said that oct, 12, 2009 in the states? I would love to see telus get the hero, especially with the newest updated rom.
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
Sadly, no. I pumped my friend for as much info as I could, all I got was "the fall."
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coe62:
Hi all

Sorry for the potentially newbie question but ....

Loving my Hero howeve I'm having a problem with the dialer where it is actually dialing the zero each time in a contact with a full international format

ie an adddress book entry +44(0)12345678 is dialed as +44012345678. In my blackberry and WinMo phones the dialer knew to ignore anything in brackets ie "(0)" but the Hero doesnt seem to do this.

Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing to fix this - I certainly dont want to go through some 700+ contacts and change all the mobile phone entries

Thanks in advance

I have just seen pictures of the new Hero Graphite on Orange, is there a away to get this look onto the TD2? i.e. The weather as part of the clock and the colour icons for mail, messages , browser etc?

Mark
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Tom Lenferink:
With WM (allmost) everything is possible.

But the HTC Graphite is not running WM but runs on Google Android OS.

Therefor, if someone makes a theme like Android you can get a similar look like that.

Linux and Android on Vogue (HTC Touch CDMA):

Look here, this might help you: http://blogs.zdnet.com/mobile-gadgeteer/?p=1004

But look at this videos first: http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news3968.html

You will see that it runs with bugs, but then again its maybe because its runs on a HTC Vogue aka HTC Touch CDMA with following Specifications:

Processor TI's OMAP™ 850, 201 MHz

Operating System Windows Mobile® 6 Professional

Memory ROM: 128 MB

SDRAM: 64 MB DDR

The HTC Topaz aka HTC Touch Diamond 2 has this specifications:

Processor Qualcomm® MSM7200A™, 528 MHz

Operating System Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional

Memory ROM: 512 MB

RAM: 288 MB

The Topaz / TD2 has a better and 2,6 times faster processor, 4 times the ammount of ROM and 4,5 times the ammount of RAM of a Vogue / Touch CMDA

I have just tryd Android 1.1 and 1.5 but both do not works for now.

Good luck to anyone else

Good news for Canadians on Telus:

Last night I was talking to a friend who works at Telus. We started comparing his Rogers Magic to my Vogue with Android on it, and he informed me that Telus is 100% getting the Hero this fall.

This also means there's a good chance it will show up on Bell Canada, Sprint, and/or Verizon. I don't know how many North Americans frequent the Hero forums atm, but I figured I'd spread the word anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Volker1:
Telus' UMTS 850/1900MHz network is the same as AT&T, so I guess there won't be a T-Mobile US Hero anytime soon. Unless HTC cranks out a third UMTS version :-)

[G1 Android Development] redmdc:
howdy peeps i have an idea of how maybe we could solve the speed issues with the hero rom but my programming skills have not reached java as of yet, i am learning as we speak, but heres my idea...

im thinking of a program that sits in the background that basically controls the priority of certain programs running on android like rosie.apk.

for instance if the home button is pressed not only is the rosie apk brought to the front but is given more cpu priority over other applications running which in affect should speed up delays. a bit like when you do it in task manager on windows.

i am trying to figure out how to write this with java and the android sdk but wondered what your views are on this and if anyone can actually implement this quicker and better than i will be able to lol

look forward to hearing your views
[G1 Android Development] stefan.buddle:
I'm no programmer but this seems plausible so this would be a program that would prioritize all programs running in the foreground and background or all programs?
[G1 Android Development] bigballa:
dont you think running this program in the background would use up alot of cpu usage also?

even in the background apps of rosie already use up alot of power...this would just take up more space and room and slow stuff down.

if it does get made it would have to be extremely lightweight

good luck

looking forward to what develops
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
If you can figure out a way to edit the fameworks in /system/framework you'll be fine.

This is called cpgroups - and Cy's ROM and xROM already do this.

The problem with Hero/Mytouch is that the framework is odexed and we have no way to unodex them, edit the files, then remake them.

[G1 Android Development] jad011:
im running jaxhero 1.2 and it doesnt lag for me at all. im running compcache with a linux swap
[G1 Android Development] aceo07:
I think this problem is partly due to lack of memory and possibly poor coding.

Hero UI on Dream is slow. Hero UI on Hero is faster, but still not smooth. The extra RAM on the Hero obviously helps since it's the same hardware besides more RAM.

There's a lot of work ahead to get it to run faster. Perhaps work with the NDK instead of the SDK. I assume when an application goes into the background it stops and writes data to memory, the services don't stop. I think to make Hero UI work faster, the code needs to be improved for less memory usage and then optimized more for efficient code. Not a simple task.

I'm not sure if prioritizing tasks will make it faster. It may make it faster to get to Home (once), but once you are there and if you want to start another application it will still need to do what it originally needed to done before it got de-prioritized.

Think of it as cooking, each time you cook something and you want to start something else you can clean up dishes or just leave them in the sink. If you clean up your dishes after each project, you take some time before starting the next one. If you don't clean up the dishes, you can start the new project quickly. However, soon afterward you'll have a sink full of dishes and you can't continue and they need to be cleaned and will take a long time. Thats how I view the problem. Get a bigger sink and more dishes (RAM) or optimize the process so it doesn't use as much dishes or it's quicker to wash them..

Maybe it'll be easily solvable when much fast sd cards are out that we can swap out a lot without slowdowns.

Good luck to anybody who is tackling this.
[G1 Android Development] blakestimac:
compcache is not supported in 1.2
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
You can remove some of the bloat by reducing the home screen to 5 or even 3 desktops. This should be hex editable, but I don't know enough about HTC ROM to do this.

I also see a lot of improvement in responsiveness of the ROM if I install spare parts from market and turn off window animations as well transition animations. This reduces my battery consumption a lot (passes my overnight standy test: thou shall not use more than 5% battery while on standy overnight for 8 hours) because it seems to be using some sort of graphics hardware accelaration and/or CPU, which makes battery deplete faster.

For my usage, I have been observing the swap usage with swappiness of 30 and I seem to need about 30-35MB most of the time. Now, since this ROM runs slow on Hero also, it seems like the RAM is only a part the problem because Hero does provide more than 35MB RAM on top of Dream. So, the conclusion is that its the inherent bloat in the source code and optimizations which need to be done to reduce the CPU usage. But only HTC can do that.
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
am i the only one not having any issues w/ the speed? Friend of mine has Cy and im able to keep up with him even though i have 6 big widgets. Only issue is getting in and out of contacts.

[G1 Android Development] sha.goyjo:
Experienced open source fellow about to chime in here,

Speeding up hero is basically poking around in the dark and hoping that we do the right thing. Unfortunately, because hero (and soon to be raphael and blur as well) are closed source and odexed and whatnot. It's just like windows-vs-linux. At first windows was shinier, but linux eventually caught up because they established a big enough codebase. The problem with hero is that most of it is EXTREMELY hard to "code" or "recode" for the average dev. For this reason the "community" that we have faith in can't do very much, as only one or two people have the knowledge required (not me btw), and they have the sense to promote open source instead of hacking closed source.

Bottom line, and this isn't a flame as much as a lifestyle guide, if you want your phone to be better, and have all the nice hero features, develop for ANDROID. Don't try to hack hero. Dev'ing for android makes things better for EVERYBODY involved.

That's my too sense. As shiny as hero may be....I'm never going to install it.

P.S.

If it explains anything, I'm the kind of person who donates to the FSF. Sorry if that makes me polarized.

[edit]

I apologize for disrupting the purpose of this thread. I'm going to take this to q/a where it belongs. Mostly because I have some questions as to the legality of "hero hacking"

Sorry
[G1 Android Development] Seoulboy1:
two important things my momma taught me.

1. Don't say anything if you can't say anything nice

2. Don't do anything you are gonna apologize for later.

I, unlike Mr.Negativity who seems to have some underlying hate for life itself, want a faster Hero rom. Thank you all the dev's that have contributed and will contribute to this cause in the future.
[G1 Android Development] That_Guy_19033:
Here's what I have done and seen a good pick up in speed with hero builds, I have an 8 gig cl 4 card but I guess you can do this with a 4 gig card too. make your linux swap partion 128

From what I understand the swap runs kinda like ram. I ordered a 8 gig class 6 card and I will try a linux swap of 256, but I think that will hang bad I'll let you all know in a few days.

But try linux swap set at 128 its much better
