Hi all,

I have created a shortcut/link file to run my app stored in a path on storage card as follows:

255#"Storage Card\windows\creme\bin\creme.exe" -Of -jar -classpath "\Storage Card\" CdcApplication7.jar

However, it fails to work and the jscpout file generated states it cannot find the jar. But if I place the jar file is in the root of the device it will work. I've tried different permutations but without success, Creme cannot find the jar file. So I suspect the path is syntactically incorrect. Can anybody please point me in the right direction. I dont want to have to store all my apps on the device internal memory!

i.e. how should I type the text in a Pocket PC link file to run my jar file with Creme?

Thanks

Gary
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] garyainsworth:
I got this reply from NSIcom Help Desk

Do it like this (single quotes, and all of the path within them):

255#"Storage Card\windows\creme\bin\creme.exe" -Of -jar '\Storage Card\CdcApplication7.jar'

255#"Storage Card\windows\creme\bin\creme.exe" -Of -classpath '\Storage Card\CdcApplication7.jar' Main

I was going to do this a while back but having not had android prior to this, was a bit nervous (was WinMo before that)...are there any negatives to rooting the phone? I know there are plenty of positives (though I don't know exactly what they all are), but now that it seems the whole process is easier than when it was first figured out I'm curious.

Also...I always hear that Cyanogen's mods are the best...but I don't really see anything posted in this particular forum by him...at least not the ones I read about. Where do you find them?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] woo456:
Basicly most of the Cyanogen posts are in the Dream forum cause the CyanogenMod ROM was originally for Dream. Now it works for Sapphire too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ronni.rasmussen:
Wrong category/section dude :)

And unless you can unroot and revert everything as they where when you purchased the mobile you will loose the warranty!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mikeybags:
Yeah, I probably should have placed this in general. Sorry.

Not too worried about the warranty. Just curious if there is anything you lose within the usage of the phone if you root/mod it. Like if you can still access the market, bluetooth and those kinds of things still work, etc. I'm a bit unclear on some things like that. Just wondering if there are any big things I'm missing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ronni.rasmussen:
Market, Bluetooth ect. deppends on the rom you flash into it, i know some of the hero roms got some bluetooth and led problems but they seems to be minor problems which will probably be fixed soon enough.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redmdc:
Hi there from my experience rooting itself gives you nothing but advantages itself its the roms that can sometimes cause minor problems like stated above but cyanogen stable roms are the dogs

And by the way check out my rooting software to do the hardwork for you :)

or open up the batch file and see the commands they use to push the files then either apply that to adb or convert them to terminal commands. also you have to rename the files to the names the other files are named to.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] drsmisk:
Just installed the official update from HTC site (Sweden). Major difference in performance now. Some things i noticed so far:

- Contacts now scrolling smooth, before it would stutter bad.

- All lists scroll smother, including the standard Android lists.

- Lock screen animation smoother.

- All screen transitions seem smother as well, esp the one that appears when you press the "phone" button. Would skip and stutter for me before, now it animates each time.

- phone seem to starts up faster.

- Sense UI of course scrolling smoother and without stutter.

- Entire OS just feels smoother and snappier.

-Pictures in album scrolling much smoother.

- Camera update, you can choose focus point by touching screen and you can set ISO.

Really good update, im actually suprised of how much work seems to have gone into it.

If only HTC had done this when the phone was released, instead of as usual releasing it buggy and receiving bad reviews from the media. Good things though i guess is that from now on the upcoming phones will be superior. Hope they will work on marketing so the general user will notice android, now that the OS is fast, pretty and smooth(which seems to be what the "normal" user , i.e my dad and all his friends, cares about).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] KaidM:
This is going to get really interesting, with iPhone 3.1 not being jailbroken it may be a real opportunity for the Hero to offer a credible alternative.

I left WM 2 months ago for an iPhone and am really enjoying the experience but am concerned about iPhone vulnerability at the moment with no JB solution. Luckily I have my work provided Hero in case my iPhone becomes locked.

:-D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] seshmaru:
Can you set the updated ROM to english? or is it just Nordic languages.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
Can you post the exact version and build number?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Golgo:
Got one question for you, drsmisk:

When in the Browser, if you rotate to landscape and press the search button, does the keyboard star jumping and the notification bar start flashing?

(it does this in modacos 2.2 rom)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] drsmisk:
Build is 2.73.4055 146733 CL#61267

Software version is 1.0.0.A6288

there are several languages to choose from, all nordic languages and also english. I have the OS in english.

And yes, the keyboard and notification bar does jump when in landscape in browser. never noticed that before.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wouwout:
i've just updated using the nordic ROM. All my original languages (I'm Dutch) were present and available in the setup wizard. I don't understand the release of a 'nordic rom'. All languages I had used before are still available. And I have no nordic languages available. Apparantly the update didn't delete your previous languages.

The Hero is now super fast! Faster than my iPhone 3G. Excellent!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] suisen:
well, i bought a Dutch Hero, applied that WWE original rom and the WWE leaked update and still had "English (Netherlands)" and other original ones on the language selection screen :/ wish i knew can i kill it and make it WWE :/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ce:
I'm running an official release of this update (my device came back from repair and the service center reflashed my device with this new rom)

I agree with the speed improvements.

What I did notice, and I didn't have this problem with the old firmware, was some network problems. A few times a day I get a pop up screen saying I have a network problem and I should try again (both on Wifi and 3G) however, my laptop and my iPhone (all on the same WiFi network) run fine at the exact same time. When I switch the Sim card my iPhone doesn't have network problems but when I switch back my Hero is complaining again. The problem always solves itself again after a few minutes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
Yes it does. It does the same when in portrait mode too.

I know I am not the one you asked but I wanted to check if I could confirm your observation.

I am using the official RUU.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jpalo:
Can you confirm Finnish is in included in what you refer to as "all nordic languages"?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] drsmisk:
Confirmed again. it jumps up and down when you type and the status bar flashes.

Also i just noticed the camera app is improved alot. you can chose focus points by touching the screen. niice.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] drsmisk:
nope, only Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. Sorry about that.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cquel:
can someone test the youtube widget see if you can actually signout now?nasty bug that beens annoying the hell out of me. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] salmanbodla:
Apart from the speed issue, two main problems that many people are facing are:

1) The blurring/pixelating of the contact pics when calling or being called. This looks really ugly!

2) Thumbnails not being generated by the Albums app in certain SD cards, especially microSDHC 8GB class 6 cards, thus making the photo-veiwing experience not so great. It apparently is the same for MCR 2.2. However, works alright with the original 2GB class 2 card that comes with the phone.

Could those of you who have installed and played with the new ROM update or any other newer/custom ROM, please comment of these issues and whether they have been ressolved or not?

Cheers :)

Has anyone got around to web browsing on the new ROM? Is the scrolling of pages fast on the websites as well like the Iphone 3GS? There was a lot of lag in scrolling web pages as well.

How are the web pages looking now?

Do we have an equaliser on the new ROM as well?

Has it resolved the google calender sync problem?

Please respond to the above. Thanks! :)

Never seen an issue with scroll speed in the Browser app.

In fact all weekend I've been surprising my iPhone owning friends with the Hero, apart from the AppStore there was nothing they saw they thought inferior.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] alitech:
What about the equalizer and google calender sync problems. Have they been sorted out?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hkr:
Much faster now :-)

But ...

Since I flashed the new Stock ROM, 3 to 5 minutes after booting the device, I get the message, that 'android.process.media' has stopped.

My guess is, that this process is looking for media files on the sdcard, and has a problem with my 40'000 .jpgs there.

Same, if I try to open the Album application, it starts scanning the sdcard for files, then Android closes the process 'com.htc.album' ...

This worked with the original shipping release, as the 40'000 .jpg files where already there ...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ce:
I hope I'm not asking too much :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
As long as you have a BACKUP, it may we worth trying to either :

A) Preferred method - delete the cache for the Albums app using Settings ---> Applications ---> Manage Applications list. Select Album and then hit clear cache and clear data. This will force Album to rebuild the thumbnail cache which may be the issue.

B) Manually delete the thumbnails on the SD card using a file browser.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] drsmisk:
my phone has a interesting bug now after the update: If i click on a text message in the sms widget, and then press menu to go into all messages, and then try to go back with the back button it will not go back but it will cycle thorugh my last open programs instead of going back to the homescreen.

Does anyone care to confirm this? Click sms widget, then menu-> all messages, then back button.

Did anyone notice that HTC made it a feature to show notifications for only 5 minutes (top LED) or 10 minutes (trackball)!!!

What's the use of a notification for only 5 minutes without the option to repeat. What was the time prior to this release?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] petersandbach:
Calendar Sync and wifi

Can confirm its nice and fast. The trackball does indeed flash with notifications.

Sadly, still not syncing with Google calendar properly (sporadically at best). Also, still not connecting to my wireless router.

I've let HTC know about these, but not sure what (if anything) they'll do about them.

Nice to have a nice quick Hero now though! :D

Just wondering if anyone noticed a notification sound problem since updating? Notification sound has disappeared on my second email account and this certainly wasn't an issue before updating.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ultradv:
My experience with both the camera and video is that it's really bad in low lighting conditions. The colours look drab compared to iphone 2g photos. Also, video doesn't auto focus once you have started to record, so it may look blurred

Official Upgrade = SIM Lock?

Hi all!

Heard a lot of good things about the Orange ROM update. Still a little skeptical though on upgrading....:confused:

I've got an Orange htc Hero which was gifted to me by a friend coming from the UK, Its SIM unlocked but not too sure of what will happen if I update the ROM... it may revert to being SIM locked to Orange...

+ I want to find out how my Hero was SIM unlocked... any way to do that? from the forum searches I see that we can either buy codes, get Orange to do it or

do some weird stuff with a serial cable.... in either case, how do I find out which way it has been SIM unlocked?

Any one facing the same predicament?

Im really desperate because I cant use the GPS device on my Jade for a month now! No application is able to use the GPS device on my phone.

If I try IGO as example it always says "no gps device found". I tryed HTC GPS tool and switched all ports on but no luck anyway...

If I try port 3 with baudrate 57600 it opens somehow but nothing happens. If I close it again it gives me an error message saying "WaitCommEvent failed.."

There is also a issue with QuickGPS, it cant uptade anymore. Everytime I click uptade it says immidiatly "error connecting, please try again later"

Im totally punshed and have no clue what to do anymore. And please avoid answers like "do hardware reset or send to warranty"

Thanks in advanche
[General Questions and Answers] sercio:
is nobody able to help me?
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Are you using stock or cooked rom? If cooked, it may be ur radio that is making ur GPS not work, so give us more info.

Also when did it stop working, had you just installed some software etc?

You will see many people say different configurations regarding baud rates etc, personally i recommend that you leave it configured to "let windows control".

If your quick gps is not updating, then a cold gps lock could take upto 10 mins. Go out side, get google maps on screen (remember to configure both external gps & google maps to "let windows.....") and ensure google maps is set to use gps. Then wait and wait to see if u get a gps lock or not.

Get back with more info on rom, software ok?

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] sercio:
Thanks for the reply!

Im using the original stock rom for my Touch 3g (jade). I dont think I installed any (important) software before my GPS failed. My GPS is controlled by Windows and yes I already tryed setting them manually up without luck.

The 10min outside thing also didnt worked :(
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Man thats wierd, you say that quick gps doesnt work either?

Have a look through your software additions and give me a list of magor ones.

Its unusual for gps to stop working in stock rom, you might have to face upto backing up any programs, contacts etc (not registry) and get ready for a hard reset.

If that doesnt work then you know its hard ware related.

But before all that, look further.
[General Questions and Answers] sercio:
I already faced its a really strange problem :S

After dozens of failed tryings I finally made a Hard reset. I hate it to install everything again, configure everything again etc...

Now QuickGPS is able to do Uptades and my software is able to find the GPS device like IGO as example. But why do I still dont find any Satelites ?!?

This makes me such angry that I want to run against a wall :mad:
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
If youve done a hard reset and not played with any settings, then it looks like you have a faulty gps unit, as much as i hate to say it, id contact your supplier if its in warranty still. Sorry mate, but there is nothing else you can do but that.
