developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.6-highlights.html ..... I googled "android 1.6"
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nadeemhasnaat:
http://phandroid.com/2009/10/16/android-2-0-on-motorola-droid-leak-galore/

See now this is exactly whats wrong with the world .... Why we dont have that stuff already in our phones is beyond me ..... But Dammmmn Google , this stuff is sick.... **** we dont even have 1.6 on our Heroes and 2.0 is gearing up for release .... and if ever anyone could have orgasm watchin gadgets, this would be the time for android lovers

Oh and did you guys hear abt the kick ass Anti-Iphone advertisement for the MOTO DROID.... look it up its awesome ...

Wht do u guys think.... Will the ancient Qualcomm 528 MHZ be able to run Eclair as it should ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nadeemhasnaat:
Still nothing huh ... Boy this is frustrating... Wonder whats taking HTC so darn long to push the 1.6 update to Heroes .....

Devs i was just wondering, is there a way to just get the updated Android market into the 1.5 ? i need screenshots of apps :$
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
Working hard on it. I really need pptp vpn for myself so believe I work on it! I am not the best but trying to be ;)

Here is my work for now: http://github.com/loxK/platform_vendor_htc_hero

If anyone wants to try and find fixes tell me!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] miamicanes:
I'm sure someone did this long ago, but has anyone tried looking beneath the plastic sheet under the battery for the vestigial remains of a RU-IM socket (like the PPC6700/Apache had)? Or found a schematic (from the FCC documents, maybe?) that showed testpoints that could be used to inject the signals from a fake RU-IM card into the phone? As I understand it, the big thing stopping us from rooting OUR Heroes the way the EuroHero could be rooted is the fact that EuroHeroes have SIM cards that can be used to pry open a backdoor, but SprintHeroes don't have (obvious) RU-IM cards to hijack. Unless, of course, the vestigial remains of what was intended to BE a RU-IM card are there, and somehow accessible...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I think you are thinking of the RebelSIM, which doesn't help with rooting - it just bypasses the carrier lock so that you can use a different carrier from the one the phone is locked to.

The "goldcard" method for rooting a Euro Hero has nothing to do with the SIM card. It uses a specially prepared SD card that forces to the device to ignore the CID checks on an RUU, so that an earlier version of the RUU could be installed which had the non-perfect SPL and ROM kernel expolit. From there, you could then root and replace ROMs.

There's nothing to say that this route won't work on the Sprint Hero. The issue is that there is no earlier RUU for the Sprint Hero to downgrade to. This means you'd be trying to install a Euro Hero on a Sprint Hero, which will probably brick the device because it has no CDMA radio - it might not, but who is prepared to find out?

Dave

SO HTC just released the Hero Kernel Source ..... Forgive me if i am being too noobish ( which i am ) , but is it gonna help XDA Devs in making a custom rom with 1.6 goodies and Sense UI for the HERO ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] OttarA:
YES...............
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Gubro:
I heard some rumours about HTC to be release the 1.6 ROM officially for Hero within a weak or so. Hope this will be true.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nadeemhasnaat:
Where did you hear the rumor from? is the source trustworthy
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cTnko:
And i have info from support, that hTC is planning some big "fix" update which they wanna anytime in January.. soooo....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jmlish:
That's what I have heard also... I would love it to be true that htc is releasing the update in a week, but I think we are stuck until 2010. Htc is unfortunately slow to the draw.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZenorGR:
Thanks for your hard work Lox_Dev. Please update us with the status of the ROM whenever possible.

Full obex support for donut: http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/10/android-bluetooth-ui-application-from.html
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nadeemhasnaat:
Wow thats awesome Lox .... is there a chance we can get the software and give it a test drive ???? pretty please
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
Sorry but you have to wait for me or someone else manage to compile a working donut. But it is now possible to have Obex in Donut (I think Cyanogen is going to put it in its rom)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dying4004:
Lox, man you r our hope for getting Donut. we r counting on you.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frandavid100:
Hi Lox_Dev,

I've been using your latest release since last week, and loving it so much I don't even really care if some stuff doesn't work.

However, a working newer release and receiving the Google Wave invite I was sent this weekend are my top priorities right now :D also, more users feel the same way so please understand if sometimes we seem a little anxious and / or ask questions about your progress.

By no means we intend to nag you or make you feel pressured or uncomfortable in any way, but having no news can be hard when you keep checking for it every day. So please keep us posted!

PS- Regarding OBEX support, will it be possible to select any given file from other application (say, a picture or video from the gallery) and select "share → bluetooth"? Or do you have to open that specific app in the screenshots?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dying4004:
Lox_dev: actially we all support u dev ppls. caz if u guys make sumthing and share then we can get those otherwise we have nothing to do. so cheers man.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
I do post progress when there is some. You may want me to post every day "No progress today"? Don't expect it.

That said, I have finished to setup my environment. I had to setup a virtual machine running Ubuntu Intrepid as java5-sdk needed to compile android source (note: java5 reaches EOSL the 30th of octobre and android compilation depends of it! Crazy!)

So I am working first on getting cupcake build and compile from sources. Everything is in my Git repo I'll port it to donut once I have a working cupcake.

It compiles ok but when I run it, it complains about com.htc.framework.jar: seems one of the proprietary libs needs it... Here is full logcat.

I am investigating the problem but if anyone has an advice...

Note: have tried to get com.htc.framework.jar from stock rom but it is odexed and baksmali throw a segmentation fault deodexing it...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I spent the entire weekend setting up a Ubuntu Jaunty VM for Android platform development using VMware Workstation under Vista x64. I was seriously slowed by repo giving me time outs all the time. In the end, a "lucky" hard disk crash meant I moved my VM to my iMac and didn't have any such problems with VMware Fusion! For some reason, I then decided to upgrade to the Karmic RC and it helpfully removed my Java5 SDK!

So far, I've managed to compile the platform and the kernel (note - original code, not the later kernel), but I ran out of time and haven't had a chance to test them yet. Hopefully at the weekend I'll be able to press on.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nadeemhasnaat:
Wow.... never before have i felt so noobish .... well to be honest ever since i got me the G1 i have been feeling so for a long time .... MAN u guys are talented ... just wanna acknowledge that and raise a champagne glass to all the DEVS here .... Kudos to ya'all
[Hero, G2 Touch General] E2K:
nadeemhasnaat, i second that.

They should be hired by android. they are doing such a good job. plus they taught themselves, which makes it even more impressive.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Vener:
Screw this, go 2.0. SDK is out.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZenorGR:
So I suppose the rumor about 1.6 + Sense UI on 2010 was wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frandavid100:
That only means devs can start porting their apps to 2.0 right? Not that we can already use a 2.0 system or anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] behnaam:
Thats right :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frandavid100:
Damn :P I wish I had been wrong on that one!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] behnaam:
There is an Esclair dump on the Dream board, which can be ported, dont know what kernel it uses...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
You have a link ?

Anyway I work on a git to build donut for hero from sources. The layout of vendor/ has changed a lot in Donut.

As I think it won't in Eclair, it worth working on it I think.

The Readme has every details on current status and instruction to use. I have done most of the work but it needs some fixes to compile.

here is the GIT
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dying4004:
is it like we wont be getting donut?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nadeemhasnaat:
I want eclair ..... :'( now how long would we have to wait for that on the hero now
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dying4004:
my bet is that we wont get eclair on hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vd3:
Quite frankly, the lack of any kind of information from HTC regarding any kind of update has annoyed me very much. Not to mention the extremely long time it took them to just release the kernel source. I'm almost considering exchanging my CDMA Hero for a Samsung Moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dying4004:
better buy magic and get all the hacks and custom roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nadeemhasnaat:
call me nuts but i think Éclair is the reason why HTC didn push out an update including 1.6 and Sense. I mean why would they when DOnut had minimal changes and considering they already knew Eclair was going to be the next major upgrade.Quoting a recent statement of HTC personnel " We definitely have Android 2.0 phones in the works and we have had android 2.0 for quite some time now " ....

So knowing HTC i am pretty sure that they decided they are just gonna work on Eclair and now that the SDK is released HTC is gonna roll out an update for HERO with ECLAIR very sooon ... i think around the same time as Android 2.0 phone makes its way to the hands of the common man...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lox_Dev:
Can everyone understand what is a Developement Forum? There is an other one to discuss things. Is it so hard to respect that? We, devs and cooks, need clean dev thread, thanks.

Where is the moderator? He is not moving out wrong thread anymore....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mikeytjee:
There will. Be no official 1.6 release for htc hero accordibf to htc

androidworld.nl/8136/donut-update-niet-voor-htc-hero-in-europa/

Scroll down and you'll see the letter in English
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wandrerx:
Does the title translate to "donut update not for htc hero in europe"?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mikeytjee:
Yes inderdaad :)

It sux right..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nadeemhasnaat:
i am gonna go out on a limb here and make two predictions

A) Eclair update for HERO will come out by the 3rd week of November

OR

B) Eclair update for HERO with an UPDATED SENSE UI ( with a fancier lock screen ) will come out by Xmas.....

I wouldn't worry about it. If anything, it should be useful for the platform and, as such, will benefit us all. For people like myself who flash ROMs quite often Marketplace is useless as it doesn't leave the the cabs and I'll have to redownload stuff every time. For those users who can't spend 5 minutes googling it will be a blessing and therefore will grow the market for WM apps.

What does worry me a bit is not users migrating to MP, but developers.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jelski:
Unlike users of networks such as Three/Telstra, who sometimes roam while this is undetected by their Android phone - my situation (and those of many other users) is similar, though not so easily solved by tweaking APN's.

In this particular case, Android detects the network of the own provider as roaming, resulting in a phone that prevents synchroisation with Exchange irrespective of settings that force data connections to be established during roaming.

I have called my provider, HTC and even an independent third party for a solution. Initially, they were all blaming other parties but themselves, but it seems that the real problem is not with the provider or HTC, but it is with Android; when my SIM card was inserted in a Nokia or WM smartphone, it worked normally, but it did not in every other Android based phone.

So, the question that remains is obviously: can this problem be solved - either by tweaking the simcard, by a small piece of software or by a cooked ROM? I'm hoping on the XDA community to give some insights into a possible solution. :o

Hi there

this is an OPEN-SOURCE program

After looking for a Quran program for a long time, I realised that there is not a single one which works on these new devices (Specially touch HD)

It has all the functions I have been looking for myself!

I have attached a picture.

View attachment 233961View attachment 233962View attachment 233963View attachment 233964

I have tested it on the following only:

HTC Touch HD

HTC Touch Diamond

+anyone who tests this on other device please tell me if it works!

So here is a program for those of you in need!

Here are the functions:

1. you can bookmark pages

2. It will save the last page that you are in automatically

3. It saves the last orientation of the device

4. Both vertical and Horizontal views

5. Next, Previous buttons

6. Clear, big texts

7. Tap and Hold on pages to choose to:

bookmark

go back to the main page

exit

8. You can choose to go to certain : Page, Part, or even chapter

9. Choose orientation in the main page

10. tap the screen to "Page Down" (particularly useful in Diamond which has a smaller screen)

If this is used in any way, or it is to be published in any other place, IT HAS TO BE FREE as this is an open-source program. And the source code should be included if you change anything in the program!

A work by Benedict.s

Hope this is usefull :)

Cheers

Instructions:

just unZip and copy the program anyware you want the run the "Quran (Benedict.s) .exe" using the file explorer!

You can make a shortcut in the start menu if you want for easier access!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] N_M_S:
I tried it on Omnia and it works fine.

you can add an auto-rotation feature (if screen rotated, application automatically turns to landscape mode).

more bookmarks (save points) would be nicer; even it it was fixed (like three bookmarks).

in the settings page, it's better to add a back button to go back to the main window (I know you can click on any "go" button); but it's just better.

in the long-press menu (in the main window), it's good to have dynamic text (not clickable) to display the durrent Surah's name and part (Juz'a).

Finally, I have noted one thing though (not a big deal and you can ignore it); when in landscape mode (horizontal), the scrolling is programmed as a right-hand lanscape only even if I turned it to left-hand landscape which I always do.

Thanks for all the great effort; although it lacks all advanced features on other apps, I liked this one the most; it met my requirements. :cool:

Oh and I downloaded the source code from Rapidshare ;)
