Here's my workflow for getting the weather widget to work:

1. Wait till the Weather APP shows a current location. (In my case, it shows "Toronto (Current)". The waiting part I mentioned a few posts above, turn on GPS, go outside, go to work, make a call etc. (This time it took me half a day)

2. On one of the desktop, add the Clock with Weather widget. This is the first one that will show "Current Location" as an option in the list when you set it up. (I tried the weather-only ones first but they don't work. Continue reading)

3. Upon loading, the weather will probably be blank. I touched where the weather is supposed to be, and it boots me to the Weather app. Wait a few seconds, go back to desktop, wait a few seconds, and voila weather loads on the widget.

4. Add the weather widget of your choice (in my case it is the smallest one). Voila the weather widget works now.

5. You can now delete the Clock with Weather widget if you want.

This is how I get every Hero rom's weather widget to work, and I tried EVERY SINGLE Hero rom (latest versions). Never failed, so far.

Did it that way and it still doesn't work. Not able to receive mms as well.

Reverted to 1.4 and no problems now. :D

Data Sync PC -> Force Close "com.android .settings"

Hi.

When I try to sync with my outlook contact using "Data Syncronisation" -> "PC" the process "com.android .settings" is stopping unexpectedly (Force Close).

Is there another way to get the contact into the mobile?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] g.vasilev:
This rom is great. To me it feels much more responsive that all other Hero roms available. However there are some minor issues that are somehow irritating. The double ringtone issue is still there as well as the SMS missing the landscape input. Those issues are not present in other roms available. Is it possible to port the settings from other roms so that we can clear out these issues here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
I don't think that's possible because this ROM uses a newer build than old ones... Wait for updates that fix these issues :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Satisfied with the speed - still the King of them all. BUT, a BIG BUT, I couldn't get ADB to work on this. I tried every Hero rom and this is the only one I couldn't get to work. Doesn't show up as an ADB device, and no missing driver either. Reverted back to 1.4 for now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vomer:
I noticed this as well. You can try sync outlook with your google contacts :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Egonny:
+1

The SMS landscape bug is irritating and I've never had it with any other Hero roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] deadman1:
Man..I highly appreciate your steps! thanks :)

However..before reading this, I got it fixed. What I did was - goto Settings > Applications > weather widget and I cleared the data..same for the weather app..and then restarted the app..and boom! it worked!!

Another couple of problems that I find with the ROM is that when I use bluetooth headphones for music...it gets very sluggish.. and when it connects a call..it vibrates too long! very irritating..

The ROM is fast compared to other Hero roms but not as fast as like..cyanogen roms..but worth the sense UI..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vomer:
I also just noticed... the sms timestamp bug is present in this rom? I am on rogers...

any fix?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zooster:
Hello, my diamond with rom Build 5.2.20769.1.4.5 DIV v.1.33 ITA gets very HOT after few minutes of normal usage with display turned on... I don't think it's normal... my old trinity doesn't do that... Solution?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
Standard issue with the Diamond. Mine always gets hot but, "touch wood" it hasn't caused any problems with the phone yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] number16:
"Very hot" = how hot?

Diamond runs pretty hot, so high 30's to 41, 42C is normal.

Above 45C though, then you battery will refuse to charge, and above 50C the phone may start shutting down / resetting.
[Sable] pinklon:
i'm blocked on this step.... since i flashed my device from spanish to french..

no i have the "NO GSM" on startup... the last solution for me is using MUTTY..

any help?
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
Version 1.0

Backup all apps to root of sdcard

Restore all apps from backup

Delete all apps

Delete app_s (for hero users not wanting to wipe)

Version 1.1

added backup and restore bookmarks

added backup and restore sms

instructions:

Just plug your phone in (DO NOT MOUNT IT !!!!!!!!) run backup_restore.bat and it will guide you through the rest.

i have also inluded it as a text file for those who want to edit it (e.g. moving where apps are backed up to)

Bugs:

when backing up apps it shows lots of errors ignore these and navigate to sdcard/app and they will all be there :cool:

other than that bug it works fine for me, i just thought i would share it with you guys:D:D:D

here is the link http://www.4shared.com/file/126355728/a26377cd/backup_restore11.html
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
you can choose to do each of those individually? or does it do them all at the same time?
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
you choose them individually
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Good job. But Backup for Root users does a lot more than this and it's easier to use.
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
thanks, i just wanted to have a go at making one for myself and since it worked i thought i would share it.:D
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I understand. I am doing some stuff like that just to learn. Next, you should look at what Backup for Root users does and see if you can recreate that functionality on your own. It's mostly just copying specific .db files to and from the right location.
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
do you know where to find out the locations and their specific jobs? Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] corp769:
It is a lot easier and learning-wise for a person to do it themself, rather than them seeing a script and/or person make it for them. Sorry but its true. Besides that, cool stuff :D
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I know some of them. I looked into it when I was using Backup for root users all the time. mmssms.db stores all of your messages. It is located in /data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

browser.db stores all of the bookmarks and stuff for the browser /data/com.android.browsers/databases

alarms.db stores all of the alarms. It is at /data/com.android.alarmclock/databases

If there is something specific that you are looking for let me know.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Or you could use my script in my signature....:D:p;):p
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
thanks, do you know the one for market?

its nice to have options :D
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
options are the spice of life...;)
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Great batch file!

Comes in real handy when using Hero roms!

Keep improving this and include version numbers for future updates. :cool:

Thank you!! :)
[G1 Android Development] random_username_:
no probs, glad it helped :D:D

edit: just added version numbers
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I believe the market is assets.db located in /data/data/com.android.vending/databases

Test it out to make sure I'm right.
[G1 Android Development] lyric911:
Is app data backed up as well? Or just the .apks?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ammurad:
Check out this link:

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-hero-update-confirmed-imminent-1852644/

Appears as though HTC are gonna address the lagginess expereinced by many (including myself) with an OTA update.

Those with root like me will not get the OTA update as ive read the firmware wont update on rooted phones. Im wondering whether people will put their chef hats on with the new update to create a rom based on it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biffert:
You could restore a backup from a point where you had not rooted your phone yet :)

It basically unroots itself that way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
That link makes no mention whatsoever that the update will be OTA - in fact, it says:

Via the website almost certainly means download and update manually. Being rooted shouldn't stop you applying the update, though you will probably lose root in the process.

Note that Google pushed OTA updates out for the G1, and the reason they didn't work on most rooted phones was because the procedure used to root the phone specifically switched off the OTA functionality to avoid the phone getting an update and losing root.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:
It was confirmed prior to release that the Hero would be incapable of receiving OTA updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ammurad:
Ok thats useful information. We can just hope now that the update will get rid of the lag.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghoonk:
Someone needs to change the thread topic to

Hero update Iminent, but no

T

if you have ROOT!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gaz31:
I thought it was only OTA updates that rooted phones couldn't recieve.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
correct me if i am wrong but even if you back up with nandroid before rooting , running the backup doesnt unroot your phone.

anyway, it is not a problem. all u have to do is just to flash the stock rom posted on this thread and then run the update if this is the case .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghoonk:
I don't think ROOTING is the problem. I think that some people, in the process of rooting, end up changing the recovery.img with test keys which the update may check against and prevent the update.

I updated mine using ADB and used fastboot, so I don't think I actually changed the recovery.img, so future updates will just see my phone as a 'normal' unbranded device (albeit with Superuser.apk and su.apk, and the HTC CIME)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spiderman_anhvu:
After OTA update, We will get the Custom rom of Hero soon :) (Like in G1)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deicist:
taken from this thread in the dream forum, might be best contributing to that but I thought I'd start a new thread to draw attention to the 'fixing sms issues' aspect of this.

basically, renice is a linux utility for changing the priority of applications.

you run it like this:

adb shell

renice PRIORITY `pidof APPNAME`

appname is the name of an application (duh!), priority is -20 to 20, -20 being highest priority.

I'm running this at the moment:

renice -20 `pidof com.android.mms`

renice -19 `pidof com.android.phone`

renice -18 `pidof mediaserver`

renice 0 `pidof com.google.process.gapps`

on drizzy's full v3, and I think I see an improvement in phone pickup speed and I haven't lost an sms yet.

YMMV, but it's certainly worth playing with.

if you get an error when running the renice command it's probably because the app you're trying to reprioritise isn't actually running... so launch the app on your phone, then try the renice command.

ps: mods, I posted this in the hero forum first by mistake, could one of you lovely people delete that thread? ta.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] marco.it:
The best solution is to try it on WinXP. I had some crashes with the hardspl with a Vista PC. If you dont want to install it, try a Virtual Machine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] deepu1117:
thnx for the reply wat do u mean by virtual machine?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
try using the internal storage method or updating your ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] otacon:
Installing from Internal Storage is the fastest and safest way to upgrade ROM.

1) Rename the ROM to DIAMIMG.nbh and copy into your internal storage

2) While pressing VolDown and Back, use your stylus to press the reset button

3) After a few seconds, it will ask you whether you want to proceed to install ROM from Internal Storage.

However, every ROM cooker recommends some type of HardSPL. You must make sure that you meet the requirement, lest you brick your TD.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] waferthin:
O2 Xda Exec - no lights at all when I press the power or any other button.

When I press the reset button, the charge light flickrs once and then goes off.

If I take the battery out and plug the power in, the charge light stays orange.

I can get to bootloader screen after doing hard reset. It has the backlight on, so it is not the battery.

When I press 0, I get " Clearing now ..." and then the screen goes blank.

Any suggestions?

Hey everyone..

I would really love to connect a full usbkeyboard to my Magic 32A..

But then i connect my logitech G15, nothing happens..

I think it because of the need of a HID driver.. But i am not sure..

Does anyone now where i can get a HID driver for android?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] mockillo:
If I remember correctly, there's a lot of posts about this on the official SDK mailinglist/forum/whatever. If you google it I'm sure you'll find something.

And shoo to the last two posters!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] reffer2:
Hey mockillo. Thx for posting a answer i actually could use to something..

The only post i could find on SDK was this one: http://groups.google.com/group/andr...hl=en&lnk=gst&q=usb+keyboard#7397813348f7a9fa

And they say that android not support BLuetooth HID.. But nothing about normal.. I think i will try to make a topic in there too..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] fignew:
That's not how USB works. If you want a full keyboard you'll have to get a bluetooth keyboard & wait for the bluetooth SDK to be released (maybe rooted users can use bluetooth keyboards already?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] mpantaziu:

does anyone know if Magic hardware supports USB host? If so, it would be possible with 2.1

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] skinnyveganboy:
appearently MAKE magazine did an article about it. I say it just might work. but you may want to talk to some devs to see how to get into usb OTG mode with a mytouch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Dexreyes:
anyone tried this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] svpb:
on my last check no dev is building with USB HOST built into there roms ( things can connect to phone) unlike the normal usb slave (your phone can connect to things ) , plus if you were to use your phone as a host it would need to power the connected device (ie. Keyboard)

some good news ...

Most roms built off of CM source have a bluetooth HID stack... So like me i use a bluetooth keyboard (logitech media board for ps3) and it works great. And drains the battery no more than a bluetooth head set.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] robertyanta:
same goes to me :rolleyes:

Hi there,

Each hour, the system ( custom tom JACxROM [v1.3] ) send a message to the number 00453 ( Denmark ), but I don't see anything in my sms box, but on my provider statics, they said me I send much sms to 00453, is this an error in the system?

I think yes, but I flashed the rom again, and with the first boot, the system has send 10 messages to 00453, an unknown number for me, and as told, I don't see the messages in my sms app.

Somebody knows how this happens?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
i wouldnt have thought that would be the rom.Try putting the sim card in another phone for a day, Look at your next bill for the certain day and heck if the other phone has sent it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Does this ROM come with any T-mobile apps like Myfaves?

Your problem seems to be similar to the T-mobile Myfaves problem we used to have on imported G1's in the past => see here

Take a log with ddms and check if something is happening with SMSStatusReceiver, it should tell you which application is sending those messages.

I hope that Proximus number is not your girlfriend :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
you can also try flashing a different rom and see if it happens again. might not be rom related, but as AMON said, app related.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Droned:
I found the problem, it was the MyFaves apps that sends automaticly sms messages to their server. So I deleted this app and my problem is solved now!

[Touch GSM General] BigMen 2007:
Hello, I have installed ONYX ULTIMATE 4.6 with EzInput 1.5 Keyboard and greek characters, but when I try to write a SMS it allows me only 70 characters per message, while the default is 160. Is there a way, through registry, for example, or by another program, to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance!!!!!
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Dont worry, Manufacturing default.

Only in english than it will be 160 charactors.

Even when I type in Chinese, it is 70 charactors too.

If you mix both english and chinese, it will be 70 charactors too.

The best way is to use english completely, so you get 160 charactors.
[Touch GSM General] BigMen 2007:
Thanks Jeremy again for your reply. It is a little bit difficult to write in english since I used to write in Greek. I read in some forums that there is a way through registry that solves that problem, like change the unicode for some letters, or something like that, kinda wired since each letter has its own code. Anyway, if anyone find something please post.

isnt the problem with chinese and greek that their characters are not in unicode (or some standard characterset) and that they have to switch to another (bigger) character set 16byte per char instead of 8

Yeah Yeah.

But I really have to applaud those developers which is able to make it to 160/sms.
[Touch GSM General] zukae:
My wife's Elf keeps losing the phone network connection, each time she was in an area without reception, like elevators etc. and than refuses to register back to the network. Only way to get it to register again is to do a soft reset. (turning off and on the phone radio sometimes works, automatic and manual network selection don't). Tried another SIM card, same thing happened. The problem developed when she started to use GPRS/EDGE (previosly used her phone for calls and SMS).

Any ideas?
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Have you tried flashing to a new radio in the elf upgrading forums?

Cheers :D
[Touch GSM General] zukae:
Changed radio still no go. Interesting enough it works when she doesn't use GPRS. I changed the RIL registry settings, and will be testing it next few days.

Oh, check it out and see how it goes.

Radio is usually affecting the issue.

You can hard reset, if it doesnt work!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mark B.:
Cant figure out how to delete a call from the call history. I can only clear all calls. Does anyone know how to delete a single call? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] intothevoid:
Only thing i could see is that when you go into call history press the little card icon to the right of the caller you wanna delete and that will show all the calls from that number. then at the bottom press menu and select delete all. That will delete all the calls from that particular number or person i guess.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mark B.:
Ya I figured that part out...but there has to be a way to delete just a single call. Anyone else? Maybe this option is available on a cooked rom? I'm going to be flashing a new one on the phone this weekend
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kloc:
I played around with it and couldn't figure it out. What I wanna know is why you wanna delete a call! Is it a mistress phone number!?
