[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSP_Hacker:
ANDROID still pwns WM...

PLUS, Windows Mobile is a cluster-f***.

ANDROID is simple and easy to manage.

Windows Mobile is proprietary, closed-source crap that's good to use but hard to change.

ANDROID is open-source, easy to open and tweak around, and it's better to use.

When I first used Windows Mobile, I thought "THIS IS 1337!"

But later when I tried modifying it and hacking registry keys, I found out that WM is very restricted. Maybe not as much as Mobile OS X (iPhone,) but I would get sick of using WM because of crappy UI areas and other strange behaviors that I couldn't change because:

I was not able to change the source code of "Today.exe", compile it, push it to my phone, and enjoy WM...

If the scroll bar in Explorer has a bad size/position, I can't change it... OH! But I can just use another file manager of home screen... but then it will just get more complicated...

HTC has this problem fixed with their WM devices (HTC TouchFLO), but outside of their shiny home-screen, it's just a pain in the *** again.

Microsoft, in my opinion, did a mediocre job in optimizing WM 6.5 for touch-screen devices. Google is doing a great job with ANDROID... in under a year, they went from 1.0 to 1.1, then 1.1 to 1.5 with major updates. They just released 1.6, and now they're working on 2.0!

Enough said, WM is a cluster-f***.

I want my Cupcakes, Donuts and tasty Eclair!

I have been asking this question since the G1 launch, I used to have an MDA and Wing with Winmo on them. There were some sweet ROMs cooked for those devices but the CPU and RAM sucked horribly. There are some HTC phones coming out with the same hardware as the G1 so maybe once those hit the street we will see more options for our Dream hardware.

I would stick with Android but it would be nice to have the option of Winmo with Touchflo 3D on the Dream's hardware!

I bought my wife a G1 (with android), I bought my son a touch pro (with windows mobile). Android blows Windows Mobile away - not even close.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonchalant_joe:
i think it would be nice to have the option, but i couldn't see myself using it for very long at all. it seems sooo, well ummm not amazing, after android.

Ok.

Can I any Mobile OS flash on the G1 ?

It's not that I do not like Android.

Android is very very cool, but how is the collaboration with winXP and Android?

I've used WM devices from 2004 till 2009, because my old phone got messed up t mobile offered me the G1.. At first i hesitated, but it didnt even take me 3 days to love Android more than WM

Has anybody used aHome on their Sprint HTC Hero ?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] hawwy:
tried installing but never installed>? how come?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brianhaden:
Panda works

You can install the Panda theme manager and use ahome themes with it. works like a charm on mine
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ELIMINATED:
Worked on mine, but did'nt have the sense UI. Kind of defeats the purpose.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Diplomat2387:
Oh okay...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rljetsetradio:
i was curious about install ahome on my sprint hero but i stopped. the ui is really good as it i have no desire to mess with it. its truly a great phone!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dedhandi:
Anyone know if it breaks Sense UI? I quite like my phone as it is but a mate wants to test Panda + themes on my Hero and I'm worried about Sense UI not working.

Are there generally any issues with any of the Home screen replacement apps (aHome, OpenHome, Sweeter etc.) breaking Sense-UI phones? I'm assuming that Sense is essentially HTC's attempt at something similar...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] morrax:
The thing is that Sense UI is a home replacement, so if you get another one it doesn't break it just adds another home to your phone.

By default you have 2 homes in your phone, one is the original android home and the other one is HTC Sense.

Here you can see my different home replacements (you get this screen if you press the home button, if you don't get it the you have to go to Settings/Application settings/Manage applications/HTC Sense and then Clear defaults).

So if I use GDE for example i can't use the widgets that you get in sense, in that sense it breaks the Sense UI. :p Everyting else on the phone works as expected.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dedhandi:
Ta, that answered my question!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] GfanMM:
It works perfectly on my Hero. I'm running aHome V3.1.1. There is an update coming up. It's aHome V4.0. It's a beta version at present. You can find it in this forum. Totally new UI.

The camera on my 8282 it is simply not responding. It worked without any problems for almost a year. The only time I have flashed my phone was 3 months ago with the official ROM update realeased by HTC. There is no way to send the phone to HTC since there is no official service representative in my country. I would like to know if there is something else that I can do to get the camera working again. Thank you in advance for the help.

[Imagio General] Hormazdd:
For all intents and purpose the BT integration with my car is the same as it was with my Motorola Qs. But I used to be able to toggle off the system and to the handset using a menu item on the device. Is there a way to do this on the Imagio? (every Blackberry, iPhone and Q I have paired allows this)

Also, hanging up the phone using any of the cars functions takes almost 20 seconds. Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YoungAceAtlanta:
am i the only one that having this problem.

Everytime i use PHm registry editor to keep wifi on when device is in sleep or lock mode.. after 20mins or so my wifi shuts off and never comes back on to i go to the wifi menu and select my wif again

Is it PHM or just 6.5?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] true2you:
it is a winMo 6.5 issue!! and it's very annoying

when my tp2 gets out of sleep mode, the antenna icon (top of the screen) doesn't appear anymore and i have to go back to the comm manager, turn wifi off, and then turn it on again!!!

(i upgraded with the official 6.5rom, non-branded)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YoungAceAtlanta:
i knew it wasnt just me.. i also upgraded to the official 6.5rom non-branded everything else works fine just no WiFi hack

can anybody point me in the right direction how its done for hero, i have searched but cannot find, help would be superb

thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but please use the search function before posting a question. There are loads of threads discussing the pro's and con's of the different radio ROMs, and how they can be flashed to your device.

I know you just want someone to summarize this information for you, but that isn't really what XDA is all about!

I have so many wallpapers that look pretty good on my Pro2.

And it makes no sense always changing it. I was wondering if there's an application that can go through a set of wallpaper images say in a specific directory? Or have it so each time I switch the phone on it randomly selects a wallpaper image.

Hi,

I have fell in love with my phone over the past month, however over the past few days the compass no longer seems to work. I first noticed this in Google Sky View which stopped moving the view of the stars as I moved. I then tried Layar and noticed this was not working. Just sticking on one view when moved around 360 degrees. And also a digital compass application... all having the same results.

Can anyone help!? :(.

If you are absolutely sure the compass mode hasn't accidentally been turned off, I'd suggest you send/take it back for service. It's probably free...

I googled it but have come across a number of different ways..is there a "standard" way to go about it? Thanks. Hero is unlocked gsm model w/ 2.73.405
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
use the gold card method posted on the top of the Hero Development section of this forum; it's proven to work on most 2.7x so far. You would need a microSD card to make a gold card (Kingston 2GB Class 2/4 and Sandisk Class 2/4 works (I tried them).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] csasek:
2.73.405 I think you can use Instant root on that one or you can use that Relentless Rooter app. shouldn't be a problem for you. I downgraded my 2.73.707.9 ROM to yhe same one you have and rooted it quite easily with Instant root.

This thread is stupid. You said this thread isnt meant to bash on the devs, but your basically doing that with the polls. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the devs mentioned above sees the result and decides to leave xda for good because of crap like this. I seriously see no point in this thread except to put these people in the spotlight. Come on folks, common sense is your friend when it comes to trust.

Lets make a thread about Jaaronpardy or w/e the OP name is, lets put up a poll to see who thinks this guy thread is garbage or not.

that all aside, lol, i trust cyanogen (myself only for cupcake/donut of course) and kingklick for hero, but MLIGN and maxisma and drizzy all make contributions of what they personally like in a phone also, so really, the best thing for everyone to do would be to make individual custom roms like moto modding is with monster packs lol

ok let's hear everyone's SUCCESS STORIES
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olearyp:
I have to take some issue with this--coming up with a working ROM, particularly a cross-platform (Dream/Sapphire) ROM which has all hardware working correctly and is stable takes a lot of work. On top of that, integrating kernel patches. On top of that, writing shell scripts to enable compcache, mount linux-swap and ext partitions, and set up Apps2SD. On top of that, providing technical support for users with varying amounts of clue. And they are doing this on their own time, because they enjoy it.

Saying "I have no clue how roms are made," then following that with an explanation of how you think ROMs are made--then being insulting about it--doesn't help.

Now, I don't think this thread is terribly useful, and I won't be voting, but my sig and post activity will speak for itself. That doesn't mean that other devs don't do good work. I don't write too much code myself, but I've done a lot of software integration and recognize the difficulty of creating the glue. So, thanks to all of the developers here who keep playing on these phones interesting, and who have helped me to more deeply understand the Android system.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaronmoody:
agreed. lots of work goes into this, whether or no they are the original authors of the rom.

umm yeah, i rated my own thread, somebody had to. if you don't agree, vote accordingly. THE RATINGS HELP THE COMMUNITY!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmj1086:
Ignoring your complete arrogance...How can you come here and completely contradict yourself by saying "I have no idea how a ROM is made" then turn around and spit out all this bull crap of how nobody here is a developer and how they just took the build and put their "crap" all over it. If you don't understand something how can your explanation of how you think it was "stolen" matter? Let me ask you why you think that this is stolen if you can download all of the versions from Googles website? Something that is stolen is TAKEN without PERMISSION which proves your "stolen" theories wrong. These people simply took something that is already amazing and added their knowledge of linux and programming to it. If nobody is programming then how can they figure these things out? Android doesn't come with Apps2SD or any of the number of MODs they have added. You think they just googled "apps on my sdcard" and coppied a code to the ROM? I don't understand your angle and I don't believe that your arrogance and ignorance are necessary.

Now I have to ask why you come on here and post "IQ" this and "IQ" that about everything? Do you think you're smarter than these people? Who cares about your IQ and how many points you "lost" by reading something. Honestly if you lost IQ points by reading somebody else's material then your IQ wasn't high enough to begin with.

If this is the first place that you have read horrible typing/english then I don't know where you have been for the past 10 years. Everywhere you go you're going to hear or read the ignorance of the twisted English language. Just because you can type better than somebody doesn't mean you're better than them and its irritating to see you come on here and talk yourself above them. Generally those people with the most knowledge, experience, or "IQ" I guess, offer their experience to those who don't know and offer to help understand. I simply offer my knowledge to those people. If they keep asking stupid questions over and over about things that have been answered then I tell them that if they're wanting to learn more and understand more then they need to be more observing and at least TRY before asking a million questions. Good luck finding another place in this world where people don't talk like their ignorant. Welcome to the world.

Also I'd like to add that not one of these guys have once said that they designed the Android framework. They simply claimed that this is their own version which runs a lot better and smother. If you don't like it don't use it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodyman:
all I can say is that I gave my opinion in the poll. But I have used e1's rom (bonafide junkie, and my download box shows it) and that each 1 has their attributes and flaws. My main concern is bluetooth. I like the hero's, but because I can't use bluetooth, they are out for me.

To all the peopl that spam this with hate, I must say grow the FCUK up. Whether or not it is taken from this person or that person, I could gived a rats ass about. I think that THAT is what development is about anyway. (just look at cars for example... they all have the basic requirements, but it's the accessories that make it unique. You may like a sedan, and someone may like a sportser but in the end it all depends on individual taste.) What you want under the hood may be different from one to the other, and that is the most important thing you must consider.

So, in conclusion, I could give a rats ass about how someone talks or types to some one else, or how this does this but not that; I want something that fits me.
