Hi, do u mean taking the logo off the front of the device or flashing a faster rom? for rom make sure u flash Hard spl(check the noob guide) and for the logo if its not actually in the glass on the front then u would open your phone cover up and scrape the logo off(not recomended). once u have hard spl u can change the logo that shows when u turn it on and the gay att animation.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KevinACrider:
That's pretty much what this entire forum is all about. You need to check out the ROM section of the Raphael sub-section and read the sticky's there. I would HIGHLY recommend installing the Energy ROM series. If you are going from the AT&T ROM to that you will be floored with the increase in speed and just overall sexyness.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jwx:
Yea, I got that much after I posted. I'll check out the energy ROM, thanks for the recommendation.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jwx:
Just the software/firmware. I could care less what the phone actually looks like as long as it works correctly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jwx:
Anybody have any recommendations on what ROM to flash? It's actually going to my girlfriend once I get this ATT branding off of it, so the easier to use the better. I was thinking about just loading the unbranded touch pro's ROM if I can find it, unless the cooked ROMs would be ok for someone who probably won't want to reflash ROMs often.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
If you need stability, flash a WM6.1 ROM, the WM6.5 ROMs are still beta and a little buggy.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] htc_fuzer:
EneryROM - a totally different experience.. try it ...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jwx:
I think I'm gonna try one of the engeryrom 6.1 ROMs. Thanks guys!

Out of curiosity, lets say that I brick the phone, anyway to bring it back?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
To brick your phone implies that is is dead and cannot be brought back.

There are very few instances where a device cannot be bought back.

If you read the Noob flashing guide, make sure you have Hard SPL installed and follow the directions to the letter, you won't brick your phone.

One thing to remember, as you start flashing ROMs, you will want to flash back to stock ROM in between flashing customs ROMs as the RUU wrappers do not completely overwrite the previous ROMs but flashing back to stock does.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jwx:
So bricking a phone would be one of those instances where it's not coming back, right? I just want to make sure that I understand it...

I'm not really planning on reflashing a lot honestly, since it's not my personal phone. If that was the case, then I'd probably play a bit more with it.

It does look pretty straight forward but I always tend to worry a bit when I do something new. I don't really expect anything bad to happen though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Just a warning, its very addicting.... :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jwx:
It looks like it is. I wish my e63 had the same hacks that these have for them. I see a lot of room for improvment on it...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] petard:
I wouldn't say all the 6.5 ROMs are buggy. Get the latest EnergyROM which is 6.5. The buggy ones are 6.5.1 which are changing the UI.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
First.off all lets stop the discussion about which is the best ROM! LOOK FIRST into debloating a stock ROM. Arupenthal and myself have good threads about it. SECOND look into hardSPL and understand what it does. THIRD I agree that a good start would be a 6.1 based ROM again arupp and NRG (2.0) ROMs may be the best start. Careful flashing a stock HTC TouchPro ROM. It may work w/o hardSPL but the keyboard layout differs and requires at least one more cab (fuzekeyboard) and even ATT connection setup.. Be patient read a lot and understand what you are doing and what'ss going on!! It'll take some time but Rome wasn't built in a day either

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ivwonka:
i thought there just wasnt enough room for 3 radios? i.e. u either get a gsm/fm radio tp2 or one with cdma/gsm radios.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] RonDutt:
The FM radio is in the Verizon TP2 I thought? Just needs the correct software/patch to use...unlike the TP1.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] syntrix:
I think it's just speculation at this point.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Poke_N_PDA:
in the touch pro the FM radio was part of the bluetooth chip. If the phone had bluetooth it had an FM radio. I'm guessing it's the same way in the pro2. If so, not having enough room is irrelevant. We won't know till we get a teardown. I haven't been able to find one online of any pro2. Anyone know of one?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] krdiesel:
I am running a VZ tp2 with the radio hack and it works well.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] syntrix:
which radio hack?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ca3sar:
yeah which one?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] SlashX1896:
Maybe the radio cab file? i havn't tried it yet.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] oneders65:
Don't beleive it!

A person with one post has the radio hack... I think not! :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] helirob:
Probably more speculation, but my Sprint corporate account rep says they were told the radios are disabled because they want people to spend money on the Sprint Music Store.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] syntrix:
Because they offer NPR for free in this "music store"?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] toadlife:
Don't see why that is such a stretch. I was making ROMs for my Wing before I ever made my first post here.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] toadlife:
Doesn't THIS work?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] helirob:
Not on a Sprint TP2. Did it work on your Tmo TP2?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] toadlife:
Yes, it works on the T-Mo version.

I'm just happy that the M key is in the right place. I had a TP1 where the N and M key is separated by the "up arrow" for about a week and that absolutely drove me nuts!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Poke_N_PDA:
Thanks. Okay, from what I've seen there are much smarter people working on this than me. I'm not going to be able to solve it, but I can keep up better than most. From what it says the chipset for the Bluetooth is the BCM4325. Here's a link to the description of it.

http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4325

So there is our confirmation that our TP2's have an FM reciever. We just have to figure out what Sprint did and how to use it. I'm guessing it probably won't be more than another few weeks before someone has it working.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] saigneur thor:
hi all !!

yes the TP2 have a fm tuner, because it works fine on mine, thanks to this forum.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] worwig:
And which carriers phone do you have?

I assume you are NOT talking about a Sprint or Verizon phone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
I think you're assuming correctly. Judging by the guy's other posts, I think he got lost and didn't realize he posted in the CDMA forum.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DragonNote:
In other words... Verizon and others that have disabled the FM radio function of your Touch Pro 2 have done so as to not cut into their profits on subscribing to their data packages for music download and/or streaming.

IE; if you have FM, why would you pay for streaming music? Just sayin this is the way it is in the corp world. Just smile, Bahhhh like a sheep, and HACK IT!! ;-)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] THAD LOVELACE:
Hello, they justify there actions of disabling the FM Radio, Because all along thy classify this phone as a business device, Not a Multi media phone.

Thats why there no mandatory $99.00 plain attach. IE, Palm Pre, and Samsung Instinct. I would like to have FM Radio, But not at the cost of my SERO Plan.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] xnifex:
so even the cab that's out there doesn't work for the CDMA TP2... wow that's f'd...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] huntm856:
On a device that supports internet radio/streaming, they're really just shooting themselves in the foot by disabling the FM radio. In situations where people would be happy to use FM they have no choice but to stream, increasing data network load.

Typical shortsighted greedy carrier thinking.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
LOL!? What? So Verizon disabled the radio on THEIR phone so that Verizon couldn't force Verizon to charge more for plans on THEIR phone???
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jpp2109:
How about using the FM Radio Cab for the Verizon HTC Imagio

Verizon's new HTC Imagio (CDMA Topaz) just came out and it has the FM Radio built in and working. Spec's wise the Imagio and TP2 are very similar. Is it possible that cab will work?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] helirob:
Someone has already tried over at PPC Geeks and they're a little closer, but it did not work. They are not giving up and think there are some possibilities using that software.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airjay:
Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you guys know how to fix this problem with the keyboard not working after sliding the screen completely open and I say completely open because when I open it half through the touch screen will work but only when the screen is completely open so I can use the keyboard is when it stops working. It also works when in landscape mode but the device has to be closed otherwise it's not working. Any help will be much appreciated and thank you in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
are you running a hero rom?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airjay:
Yes I am but actually this happened before I flashed hero on the phone I first had this problem when the phone was on JF 1.51
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
dont know exactly what the problem might be but it sounds like a hardware issue, you should return it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airjay:
I'm gonna just keep trying if after a week I can't get it fixed ill considered returning it. Is there an easy way to go factory/stock mode because if they find out my phone is rooted they're going to void any warranty the phone may have
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palosjr:
yes you can, there is a link in the stickies... ill post it here as well [HOW TO] UNROOT, get phone to STOCK firmware

also since we are on this topic, does anyone know if tmobile checks IMEI on warranty exchanges, or do they just see if the phone is up for warranty exchange still. i am wanting to swap my spare g1 with a new one since the speaker is out on it and some of the keys dont work, but i dont want to run into problems at tmobile. Thanks guys!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilnotdie:
I had warranty devices shipped out to me, perhaps 20 times. They only asked me to confirm the IMEI, maybe 4 times, out of 20. Asurion on the other hand, has always asked to confirm the IMEI on all phone claims etc...

As far as them checking the IMEI in the warehouse once the Phone is returned, I have no idea. I have yet to return a phone whos IMEI's didnt match. Sorry.

Goodluck tho.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palosjr:
ok thanks! if anything, maybe i can just tell them my original phones IMEI and ship back the other haha

nah thats messed up, but it is clever!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
do you have the applications for these? the iphone skin is for Lock 2.0. when you install Lock 2.0, it makes a folder on your sd card. that's where you put the zip files.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] code72:
Hi, i have a dream with cyanogenmod 4.0.4 and comunity hero theme and i love how it looks like a hero. The only thing that i'd like 2 have is the hero browser, because i need 2 visit some flash sites and with my rom it's impossible to do. Can someone make a browser apk or update.zip that replace cupcake browser with hero version? I tried jacxhero rom and i must say the browser is also more reactive.

I hope that someone is able 2 do that.

Thanks in advance,

Andre
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Unfortunately the browser cannot be ported. It is quite dependent on the Hero framework and won't work without it. But no worries.. flash 10 is coming to all android next month.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] code72:
When we'll install flash 10 our browser will supports flash site? Flash 10 will be out on October?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] igl007:
This is my first theme, and I would love to get everyone's opinion. Included is the Slider Icons Cab, along with the wallpaper cab. The wallpaper will go across all screens. I made the icons and the earth in space in Cinema 4d. Added original TF3D images to my sphere's in photoshop in case anyone was interested.

UPDATE - 9/20/09 - Earth2a

Thanks for all the replies and kind words!

Earth Update:

Added more resolution to earth textures, and tried to go for more realism. I thought the old one looked too 'cartoon-like'. Also you should notice a more raised look with the continents. Clouds are more realistic, and the stars are real. It's an actual photograph of the northern sky I took last summer and it made for a great texture map! The earth is a little darker too so it hopefully has a less cluttered look.

Icon Update:

LARGER! More contrast and shadowing as requested, and original manila icons are wrapped around sphere. Also there is a programs icon, in case you use that.

To install, just download Igl007_Earth2a.cab and Igl007_SphereIcons2a.cab below and install, it will unistall the old and install the new.

Let me know what ya think!

absolutley great theme ! Icons alone look stunning but with the wallpaper it's gorgeous ... Would you be so kind to share the 480x800 wallpaper ?

I have a topaz with 2.1 manila with weather on the hometab and your cab isn't work for me ( the icons cab works great) so I guess the wallapper on al pages is the problem. I have a mod installed that makes the background I choose on the home tab available to all tabs, so I would really like to have the wallpaper.

Keep up the great work and hope to see more of your work !

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Bundin:
I've tried changing the amount of tabs I can open simultaneously in opera:config but after a soft reset it reverts back to only 2 (which isn't nearly enough). Does anyone know how that is happening?

The same goes for a change to the keyboard settings. Ive tried editing eT9.Rhodium.kmap.txt so the mail button is set to Tab, but a fsoft reset reverts that change as well.

Anyone an idea?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jhworley:
I had the same issue with mine. I kept changing the setting and eventually it stayed at 5 tabs. Not sure what I did differently other than I was persistent.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mmmhhh86:
If you want it to work you need to kill the opera process completely because on the TP2 it is always running due to the push internet. Several ways to do so. I used this method.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532948

Install the cab. Reset your device. Open Opera and change the settings you want. Exit Opera. Open again to check if settings are saved. If not, change settings, exit opera, restart device. Now the settings should be saved. You can now uninstall the cab or keep it if you like it.

Let me know if it works for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ohyeahar:
I had that issue a while back. I've since given up on going into opera:config.

I find it much easier to just copy the opera.ini file over to my desktop, edit it accordingly, and then copy it back. Try it out. It's not as daunting as it sounds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] exmeaguy:
I'm a little confused, I don't see anywhere in Opera where you can change the number of tabs. Do I have to go into a separate app to change the Opera settings? I'm stuck at 2 tabs which is worthless.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] svntsvn:
Anyone have this issue?

Whenever I have a new rom, it works great, as soon as i reboot or a low battery forces a power down, it is buggy and unresponsive upon reboot.

symptoms include:

1. multiple entries on text/numbers - ie when pressing a, it registers aaaaaaa

2. cannot swipe screen, it will open app on homescreen that it presses

3. overall, no accuracy on touchscreen.

4. overall, it really seems to effect the touchscreen and it consistently happens on reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] origins81:
try calibrating your screen during initial setup or in keyboard settings
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] svntsvn:
touchscreen issue

the only thing that works is to reset data on it from the fastboot screen. (skateboard screen)

From there, the touchscreen works, but i have to start from a new device. Really lame.

Right after the data reset, I turned the phone off and on, and it works. Seems like it only wants to happen after i put things on the device.
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
For other people wanting to do edits to Rosie or its widgets, I did manage to get the edit/signing issues resolved. I simply re-signed everything using com.htc.rosie.uid.shared (basically Rosie and all its widgets) with the same key. However, this did not fix the keyboard crash issues like I hoped it would.

Using Stericson's excellent "XML edits how to" thread as a guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=479019), I painstakingly figured out that all you needed to do was change all the 0800001001 (hex) to 0800001002 (hex) in the binary AndroidManifest.xml within Rosie.apk. This changes all android:screenOrientation lines in the XML from 1 (portrait) to 2 (sensor).

However, I'm having trouble actually getting this into a Rosie.apk that will verify as a properly signed APK. Android rejects it every time, even if I resign the APK. If any other devs want to continue my work by inserting this into a Rosie.apk successfully, feel free. It's getting too late tonight; besides, I use Cyanogen and not Hero :P.

UPDATED: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/36553/AndroidManifest.xml

I managed to get it working but signature issues remain, resulting in a force close!

The signing issue is also present for AndroidManifest.xml modifications, as Rosie shares a user ID with the rest of Hero. Change the signature, and the phone rejects it. If we change the user ID via XML modifications, Rosie begins to load but force closes because it is denied permission to share data with the Twitter provider. Confusing stuff.

However, before the force close, Rosie seems to be running in landscape just fine!!!

The next step would be to resign ALL the APKs using com.htc.rosie.uid.shared in the Hero ROM to one key, then try this Rosie signed with that same key. I will try this tomorrow. If all is successful, we can have a pseudo-landscape-Rosie. The main benefit would be no more crashing.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
this would be great if we got it to work... ill work on it some tonight but it wont be long. i gotta long day tomorrow
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
Why do you want to sign it?

Can't you just replace the file, pack it up again and push it via adb?

Doing it that way wouldn't require the file to be signed. Or am I mistaking?
[G1 Android Development] Dharkaron:
Needs to sign it to make it part of an update or rom package. Fixing the rosie crash when keyboard is open on homescreen would be nice.
[G1 Android Development] cx92001:
This is good news to hero users. Hope the devs will incorporate this to their roms.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Can we get an unsigned version and push it over if we wanted to test it?
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Unsigned doesn't work... Android rejects it and complains about the signature, I don't know why this doesn't work but optimized PNGs do.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Ah, I see... I wish I knew more so I could help you guys out, but unfortunately this is outside the reach of my nooby skills... but if you guys need a tester down the road, lemme know.

[G1 Android Development] cxyhjx:

:)
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Meh... turns out I was wrong... this makes it landscape only. To get the intended results you actually have to delete those lines, which is proving to be much more difficult. EDIT: nvm, we can just change this to a value of 2 to make the orientation sensor-based. But signing issue remains.

The signing issue is also present for AndroidManifest.xml modifications, as Rosie shares a user ID with the rest of Hero. Change the signature, and the phone rejects it. If we change the user ID via XML modifications, Rosie begins to load but force closes because it is denied permission to share data with the Twitter provider. Confusing stuff.

However, before the force close, Rosie seems to be running in landscape just fine!!!

The next step would be to resign ALL the APKs in the Hero ROM to one key, then try this Rosie signed with that same key.
[G1 Android Development] kendong2:
sry for digging this up, but what is the status on the signing issue? i am facing a similar problem while trying to get the flipping clock to an up-to-date rom...

and while we're at it, what about landscape rosie, did it ever work? just for my curiousity, when i have to mess with rosie.apk i can aswell try that one too ;)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
1) You will have the push the htcclocks from a rom with the flip one, but it was removed for a major reason because it will slow your phone a lot and eat the battery.

2)Landscape works on 2.1 hero roms not on 1.5 since it wasn't designed for phones with keyboards since the Hero doesn't have one attached.
