I'm still trying to do something with the content of the tab showing up slow and I need some help. I partly understand what's happening on the release of the slider over a tab. The slider icon is moved (TabJumpTo function) and the Navigate function is activated - and here's the problem. There's a line:

_application.Navigation:Navigate(...)

What is _application? I've seen that you can set/get registry values thanks to this, but where is it defined?

What I want to do is load all of the tabs' content while loading Manila and set it to invisible. After releasing the slider over a tab, the content of the tab would be set to visible. I think this should work, but I need to know what is _application :D

I hope someone will be able to explain me! Thanks in advance.

I was looking for that too, but then I got an idea - the home tab is always preloaded, isn't it? at least it is faster than any other tab, so I guess yes. I did some small searching and I found something interesting: fakehome. I don't understand LUA well, but it seems that the home tab somehow uses something called fakehome to keep preloaded data and graphics. But I also may be completely wrong :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Kamill:
It's good to see that someone is also interested in this topic :) Unfortunately, fakehome is a mode9 file and there's nothing important in it.

I solved the problem of the slow message tab. The reason why it was opening so long was the number of messages in my inbox - over 1600... Now I have about 50 and it's much faster.

Would it really speed up Manila? I don't see any connection between these two things...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fade2black101:
I also noticed the lag on the messaging app, and subsequantly deleted all my messages. However, ive accepted there is going to be lag with it and its just the trade off of running sense 2.5 on the touch pro 2.

Something ive noticed though is there a slight delay u get while scrolling sliding from the home tab on the tf3d to somewhere else, and how this lag aint there when starting from a different tab.

Is there any way to solve this and to make scrolling from the home tab quicker? Apart from this I am very happy with the new rom despite some hickups (which are to be expected due to the lack of snapdragon)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tsalta:
Really i don`t understand why you want app like this when you can do it without app hacks etc.

I know one things very easy and im doing it from 2 years since i have Blackstone

Example after rebot .. wait the whole OS to be loaded etc, once is loaded you click on everytab and wait for the animation, after you do this for all the tabs, they are NOW loaded in some cache and your Manila is faster.

All this take you around 5 Seconds and no need any App.

Also click once da dialer and close it ...this will help your dialer to open faster next time when you use it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sharkie405:
Yes, please! Anyone know how to speed up the slider when starting from the home tab? My slider is superquick starting from any other tab. There must be a fix as I've tried a few other ROMs and they seem to have gotten it worked out.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Parano!d:
i bought my htc hero from ebay,

it was orange branded,the seller debranded it & sold

there;s no orange services in india aswell,

it works fine with my carrier

now when i try to uprgare from 1.76.61.3 to 2.73.405.38 it fails,

i've done everything as required & suggested here

i kinda lack knowledge about the unbranding stuff :(

will i need to unlock again after updating?

or once unlocked its free for updating or flashing custom rom anytime

please sort me out of this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
If I were you, I would avoid using an RUU to update your phone, and use one of Modaco's custom ROMs. You will find instructions in this forum.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Parano!d:
i dont want custom rom as of now,

please help me regarding my question,,please!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Well, for starters, 405 is the generic HTC build, which presumably won't pass the CID checks on an Orange Hero (regardless of its status vis-a-vis branding). Therefore, I'd suggest trying the Orange 2.73 update if you *really* want to use an RUU, but there are plenty of "custom" ROMs that are simply the carrier ROMs packed in an "update.zip" format.

Personally, I'd never use an RUU as there's always the possibility that they will be updated to close the loopholes that allow custom ROMs to be flashed - which is exactly what has occurred with the latest official T-Mobile update!

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Parano!d:
cheers!!

i've no way then to agree to you :)

just one question again?

flashing a custom rom,is there any change getting it locked again,

as throughout the forum i'm just seeing unlocking orange hero is not a task of ease,

i know i might b sounding stupid but i'm not sure of this stuffs

winmo flashing was different case imo

edit: please provide me link to customroms.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
There seems to be an issue with unlocking Orange Heros for some users, but you've already said that yours works fine with a different carrier so you clearly don't have this issue and yours is unlocked already.

For ROMs, see http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291942/09-10-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/

You will also need to replace your recovery image with one that permits updating via zip files. See http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291486/25-08-installing-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device-permanently/

Note that you don't actually need to permanently flash the recovery image if you don't wish to. You can boot of it using the fastboot command, make a nandroid backup, and then apply an update zip file.

I had the same firmware on my Hero when I got it, but I followed this walk-through:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4655885&postcount=1

Only part I had issues with was getting the RA-HERO recovery image flashed. I dragged it onto my sd card (not in a folder) and typed in this location on the FlashRec app:

/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img

and then was able to hit "Flash Recovery Image". Then load a ROM on the SD card, turn phone off, and hold Home+Power to turn it back on in the recovery menu and then you can flash away.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miranda616:

when I try to install the rom, it said installation aborted

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miranda616:
I tried that, when I flash the recovery image it said : flash FAILED: Could not run command....

but I download the recover image already, and put it at the root of the sdcard,and type

/sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img

I dunno which step go wrong.

Frist I download Fleashrec, recovery img, and the update.zip,

put them at the root of sdcard,

install Flashrec,

type /sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO.v1.2.2.img

flash recovery, but it doesnt work><
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Did you backup your original recovery image first via flashrec (the lower of the 2 buttons)?? May be you can try to flash it via ADB:

Put the recovery.img in sdk/tools

Then in the terminal type this:

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img

adb shell reboot

Try this and see whether it helps.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] fortytwo_:
First of all, what does rooting your phone do to it?

Any must have roms, applications, or anything for the magic/sapphire to get the most out of this phone? ANYTHING?

OH! And does anyone know what happened to the android-leak.com site? I've been getting " Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. " whenever I try to access it. I miss it and all of it's great apps :(

I just feel like this is a great phone with many features and stuff that I can have but am not taking advantage of. My previous phone was an LG shine, nothing special, so I'm totally new to all this crazy techie stuff that I can have on my phone now.

BTW - when I say totally new, I mean it. For dummies explanation requested, please & thankss
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DopyG:
Rooting your is like running Windows Vista as an admin user. Rooting your phone is something is something I would recommend for people who know what is to do. Almost every custom ROMs on this forum is rooted...

A ROM like cyanogen will get the best out of your phone or a Hero ROM could the best design for it...

You can also make alot with stock ROM... just explore the app market...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
the best thing to do in your case is jusy start reading through the forums, noob guids, sticky's and wiki's. read up what ever you can and educate your self before you start moding your phone. we don't need another "I bricked my phone" thread, usually by people that don't know what they are doing .

when you feel like you know all there is to know and can be confident take the dive and root and flash. Although the the dream is a different phone, the dream forum is more active and has a ton of info about Android and the MT3G as well as the G1.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
My suggestion is don't bother with hero roms if you want to get the most out of your phone (unless you have a 32A Magic (HTC Branded)).

Another good idea is use a class 6 sd card if you want to use Linux swap, for fastest possible performance.

Have a look in the sapphire hacking wiki (top thread in the sapphire android development board) as it answers most questions.

Over all have fun, the HTC Magic is a great device!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garytaylor1974:
hi i have only just got the hero and was wondering how to close apps properly. i have noticed that when you hold the home key for a while a window pops up showing some apps ...is this how you close them? or is simply pressing the home key shutting them .:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The long press on home just brings up a list of apps that have been recently run. It's almost a task switcher, but not quite!

Many apps will exit if you "back" out of them - i.e. when in the app keep pressing back until you get back to the home screen. However, this isn't the case for all applications. Some may have an explicit exit or close button, whereas others may have nothing at all.

However, Android is pretty good at managing its own applications, and will kill/exit them as necessary. In my experience, there's little to be gained from explicitly killing applications using a task killer, but some people swear by it.

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risterdid:
Most Task Killers free up memory thats used by background apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garytaylor1974:
so basicly back out of the app and let android do the rest of the worring. thanks for advise:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Yes, but the point is that Android itself will start killing applications if it starts to run low on resources. (see http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html)

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MercuryStar:
I'll attempt to sum it up once and for all, to try and set the record straight.

In Android's virtual machine, there is no functional differentiation between "closing" an app and "switching away from" an app. They are the same (the exception is things like music players which need to keep playing after you switch away from them, but even then only the 'service' part needs to keep running).

Whenever you switch away from an app, its current state is remembered so that even if it is effectively "killed" it can be returned to in just that state next time it's opened. Then Android either kills the process or it keeps it open, killing it when it needs the memory. You won't notice any difference between either scenario, except maybe that an app loads a little bit faster if it was kept in memory. At any rate, "closed" apps do not "run", and they do not take RAM or CPU cycles from other apps.

In terms of process/memory management, Android's VM has more in common with a web browser than a desktop OS - sure it can remember your state when you switch apps (like switching tabs, going back/forward/home in a browser) but whether behind the scenes it loads it all into and out of memory when you switch back and forth, or it all stays in memory is irrelevant to the user. Nobody worries that a long forum page on another tab or in their back button history is occupying 80 megs in the background or not, the browser takes care of loading/unloading it from RAM as needed, and that's just like how Android's VM works when switching between various pages of various apps.

Once you understand this you understand that all these 'task killer' apps are really unnecessary - all they'll do is make it slower to restart an app once closed. They don't reclaim RAM that was previously unavailable to other apps.

To cut a long story short, pressing "home" is a great way to close an app, whether you want to return to it later or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
that is not true for me, my firefox can eat a lot of resources as long as it is open. and i can see a performance difference when having a lot of apps open on my hero. not that it would be a problem, but you can see the menus scrolling more "fluid" after killing all bg apps, for example.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MercuryStar:
I would wager that's the placebo effect. It feels faster because you believe it should. If you understand how the OS works you realise that apps you've switched away from do nothing to slow down or take memory from any other app (see my exception above about apps that launch background services such as music player).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
I do notice this too. There is a general 'sluggishness' with my Hero when there are lots of app sleeping/running/hibernating/whatever in the background. As soon as I kill off a few unwanted ones, all the menus scroll faster and home screens change quicker.

And this is not the placebo effect either. The menu's DO scroll more fluidly after I have killed a few apps, regardless of how you describe the RAM management...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
exactly, you can tell easily if it is one motion or looks like it is "skipping frames". even it is only because it takes the device some cpu cycles to kill other apps, it does make a difference. like i said a rather cosmetic one, since it doesn't really effect the general usage. nevertheless i like to know what is running and what's not, and so far im running good with advanced task manager free.
