Yea I would like to have Android on my pc, hopefully it will be possible when they start releasing it on netbooks. I have no idea what exactly chrome os will be like because I have yet to see any video of it in action.

I was only trying to point out that they are not the same OS and are being aimed at different machines, wether they are being aimed at the right machines I am not so sure. If you read the full article on cnet Android is mentioned of as being designed to run on a wide range of devices from, get this, refrigerators, tv set-top boxes, and I have heard from other articles some car companies are considering using it on the touch screen displays they use. How sweet would it be to program your fridges icemaker from android, hahaha I wonder what it could do when you root it and flash some sweet cyan or jac rom lol.
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
That's been around for a while, but hasn't been released, yet.

I wonder what kind of overhead there would be, though... I can't imagine it being very speedy.

That's different. What that does is execute the linux kernel and kick WM out of memory. You can't switch back and forth without restarting the phone. (It's available to a lot of phones.) But if we could figure out a similar way to do the same on an Android phone, that would be awesome.
[G1 Android Development] shaolinx:
You can have

the Android on your PC, the steps are in the link on the first post. but right now... its not very practical to use it as an actual OS. Theres too many stuff lacking (flash 10 for example).

Im trying to upgrade my 2GB standard card to a new 8GB i bought

The problem is, no matter how i transfer - simple drop and drag or a back up program - it always mucks up the order of my photos.

I know this doesn't seem important but its really annoying.

I've tried renaming them so they are the right order in name but the dam phone uses a mysterious newest/oldest tag i can't do anything with

Does any one have a solution or any advice on this?

Hi guys,

Do you know if Orange have customised the stock HTC ROM on the Hero as I really dont want to have to flash it if i go for the upgrade i am due
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Its not currently customised... and even when it is it will be likely like every other Orange handset with a choice of the Orange Home or Rosie.

Best thing is to go into an Orange Retail Store and ask to see the phone before you decide.

Mine is to all intents and purposes just like the HTC unlocked Hero (but locked to Orange of course).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mofratiestwoe:
Hey, Im stuck! One of the first steps to ROOTING the G1 is to change the SD card's format. So first mount the phone via usb to the computer. did that. right click the removable disc and go down, click Format, change to FAT32.

Everytime I click Format tho, my phone somehow dismounts my connection to the computer! Everytime! I dont know what to do or why its doing this. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

On my Tmo TP2 the icon that notates that you're in Edge, GPRS, or 3G is missing from the task bar at the top. Is this the case with any one else?

I've been wondering since I got the phone why its not there. Its on my Tilt & on the MDA, but missing on the TP2. How do I get it back (without changing the task bar icons)?

you can see the difference in the 2 screen shots to see what i'm talking about. The first is my phone & the second is some stock image. see the H? yeah, mine should show a 3G beside the signal bars as well. WTF?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
Just got my replacement Tmo TP2 (for another issue) in the mail & it still does the same thing. These were taken without modifying anything on the new phone. Again, no big G/E/3G/H right next to the signal bars
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sikkboy626:
What ROM is on the phone in you're picture? The unbranded HTC Touch Pro2, is there any way to put the unbranded ROM onto the TMo US TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
its the stock Tmobile TP2 ROM. There probably is a way, I just don't want to flash to a different ROM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kloc:
I don't think I had any problems getting E,G,3G to show up when I first got my device. Now I use a different set of taskbar items so I cannot verify that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BlackAccord:
Its replaced by the "3G T-Mobile" located on the left... when you dont have the 3G it goes down to just "T-Mobile".. there is a registry tweak that allows you to bring back the 3G, E, G, but i cannot remember where it is located in the registry, I saw it on the Raphael section
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
So it was brought to my attention here that even in the Tmo TP2 manual there are screenshots where the icons aren't there.

It seems that Tmobile disabled it. Stupid. Why do that? Oh well, putting a taskbar theme on the phone fixes it.

I would be interested in seeing the registry tweak you're talking about BlackAccord.

As far as the 3G "Carrier" vs "Carrier" thing, that's on all TP2s, not just the Tmobile version
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cverstij:
I have a custom task bar that I got over on PPCGeeks and it has the 4 bars with a blue E above them AND another E next to that by itself! I want to get rid of the blue E above the bars without changing any of the other icons, but have no idea how to do it.:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
as far as i know, you can't change the blue E unless you revert to the white E. the E on your signal bars is to notate that you're actually connected to data while the big E is to notate that you're in an area with EDGE data coverage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] atlaswing:
don't have it in mine either and was wondering at first why nobody at tmonews knew about it when you asked, i guess they're all hardcore tmo users with no unbranded phones:)

as you've probably known from your Tilt, the H or 3G shows up when not using data (2100 present), but switches to a E when the Tilt data is activated(no 1700). My guess is Tmo removed the icon in a pathetic attempt to not draw attention to the absence of their anemic 3G coverage. But the icon placeholder is there, just blacked out, since when you get a notification, there's a blank space between the message icon and the antenna bars. I too was trying to get it back, but have gotten used to the blank space, since I just canceled the data after they blocked web2go network-wide yesterday.

edit:

check out this photo of TMUS TP2 alongside Pharos Traveler 137, which has both ATT & TM 3G bands. There is good reason why TMUS would want to hide that icon ;)

Hi!

For the ones interested in openvpn or vpnc I attach the tun.ko module.

Have fun.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lox_Dev:
Here is the tun driver package. Think you should have a rooted device to make use of it.

To install:

1. copy it to your <sdk>/tools folder

2. adb push hero-tun-module-signed.zip /sdcard/update.zip

3. Type 'adb shell reboot bootloader' to enter the bootloader.(or turn it off and then, holding back button, turn it on)

4. Type 'fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img' - the device will now boot into the recovery image.

5. Select the option to 'apply update.zip from SD card'. Let it complete.

6. select reboot

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanchapman9999:
From Wiki....

A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network in which some of the links between nodes are carried by open connections or virtual circuits in some larger networks (such as the Internet), as opposed to running across a single private network. The Link Layer protocols of the virtual network are said to be tunneled through the transport network. One common application is to secure communications through the public Internet, but a VPN does not need to have explicit security features such as authentication or content encryption. For example, VPNs can also be used to separate the traffic of different user communities over an underlying network with strong security features, or to provide access to a network via customized or private routing mechanisms.

Simply put, for most people I imagine, it allows us to connect to work.

Installing VPN on the HTC Hero.

B: vpnc details - http://techha.us/2009/06/android-vpn-vpnc/

C: ROM 2.2 - http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m-is-here-2-versions-based-on-the-new-update/

D: VPN_Connections: - http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/downloads/list

E: ConnectBot - android market - the terminal app I use on my Hero. You can do all this from an 'adb shell' on your PC.

1. Flash the 2.2 ROM (others probably work, but the correct tun.ko for the linux build is included in the ROM) from Ref C.

2. Download the latest version (VPN_Connections_v09.apk at time of writing) from get-a-robot-vpnc (Ref D), and install on your Hero.

This provides the vpn modules that are needed.

However I could not get this UI to work on the Hero. It kept hanging, sometimes asking for the password, sometimes not.

Note: the android market version is still 0.6

3. Install the tun.ko module with a script, or manually. This needs to be done each time you boot the Hero.

The script is:

'prep' script ( the following 3 lines: )

-----------

insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

mkdir /dev/net

ln -s /dev/tun /dev/net/tun

Install tun by typing:

sh /sdcard/prep

or typing the 3 commands. (you need to be root, to do this)

(I placed my script on the microSD card, /sdcard/prep)

You can call this script anything you like.

4. Make an 'vpn.conf' file .

IPSec gateway vpn.aa.bb.com

IPSec ID youroffice

IPSec secret yourofficepassword

Xauth username youruid

Place it on /sdcard/vpn.conf

See Ref B for details.

You can call this configuration file anything you like.

5. Make a 'go' script, like this (one long line)

/data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend/files/vpnc /sdcard/vpn.conf --script /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend/files/vpnc-script --pid-file /sdcard/vpnc-pid --no-detach --debug 1

Put it in a file /sdcard/go .

N.B. The 'go' script refers to the 'vpn.conf' file which you created earlier.

See Ref B for details.

You can call this script anything you like.

(Note: VPN Connections (Ref D) installs its files to /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend )

6. Start VPN by typing:

sh /sdcard/go

hopefully you will see

# sh /sdcard/go

sh /sdcard/go

Enter password for youruid@vpn.aa.bb.com: <this is where you type in your password>

the vpnc-script from get-a-robot-vpnc

does not restore the net.dnsx properties because it skips the restore

in the 'restore_resolvconf_android' subroutine.

I have attached a revised script 'vpnc-script.txt'

with references to /etc/resolv.conf commented out.

adb push it to:

/data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend/files/vnpc-script

(removing the .txt)

make it executable:

adb shell chmod +x /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend/files/vnpc-script
