[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] lexuality:
I found this website: http://www.androidonhtc.com

and i can't remember how. Has anyone tried this yet or is everyone using the stimulator that's available on xda?!

Ugh... so I installed it, figured that the default.txt was configured wrong. fixed what I needed and I keep loading it hoping it will work.

It gets stuck at the "HTC/HERO" page and I'm getting annoyed by the little green perp that keeps popping up with the "hero" words.

If you've tried this and gotten it to work, can you PLEASE help me?! Haha I'm so lost and it's a "stock ATT Tilt. The only thing I've installed other than this Android thing is the speed up keyboard thing.

Here is the info I can give you:

I have no idea what rom I'm running. =( I haven't done anything to it like i said above.

The phone IS unlocked, so I'm running on the Tmobile carrier

I have no idea what radio is either. so therefore..... like i said, i'm a total noob!

Right, please help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
You need to change your default.txt (or startup.txt) to look like this:

set RAMSIZE 0x07000000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
set FBDURINGBOOT 0
set MTYPE 1553
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=2 ppp.apn=internet ppp.username=none ppp.password=none pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=1"
boot

The mddi.width, mddi.height, and LCD.density parameters are probably where your default.txt (or startup.txt) went wrong, so ensure those are set to the values I've provided above.

And since you're new, I would recommend reading the Kaiser and Tilt wiki articles to better understand your device, and to answer common questions you might have.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] lexuality:
What bothers me is that i'm seeing so many different "results" with my search. one says,

which is completely different from what you're showing me.

with your config, i can see the right side of the android, but the HTC/HERO thing is still in the way

when i change the values of the height and width to the kaiser specs on the andoirdonhtc.com page, i can't see it at all...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The reason for the different default.txt files floating around is because the necessary parameters may differ between android versions, sources, etc. For example, the reason you need to set the screen resolution to 320x480 in default.txt is because the Hero image was designed to run on a 320x480 screen. So a default.txt made for another distribution may not work with a different distribution without tweaking. The defaut.txt you just posted looks to be from another distribution, one that appears to be incompatible.

And when you say:

What do you mean exactly? Do you mean that you do not progress past the black splash screen which displays "Hero" and "HTC" interchangably, even when using my default.txt? I don't quite follow

EDIT: If you haven't already, try deleting the "Media" folder off your SD card, deleting data.img, and running an error check on the card from a desktop machine (From Windows Explorer, right click on the card, choose properties, then the tools tab, then error checking). After doing that, put my configuration file that is posted above on your card, and name it startup.txt. Also, ensure that you're using the correct basefiles for your version of Kaiser-Hero if they weren't included in the same package (unlikely but possible).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] lexuality:
Yes... at one point, with your configuration, i was able to see PART of the Android screen (I saw the time clock, battery life, and I think my reception bars....) but the hero/HTC signs were blocking the rest of the screen! I'll try again and do as you've instructed. I'll get back to you. Thanks Dave for being patient haha

edit: now..... i've done everything you've said... and it's been stuck on the splash screen with the "hero" and "HTC" interchanging.... for about.....10 minutes...

How long is it supposed to sit...?! (May I mention, I haven't touched any keys, am I supposed to?)

boot try #2: alright so we'll try this again... haha...... it's stuck on the splash screen, minus the splashing. the HTC just remains on the screen. When I hit the "end call" button, the screen goes black, as if to put the phone on lock. It wakes back up when I hit the same button again...

boot try #3: i left it there, and i actually forgot about it while I was packing so when I was cehcking to see if there were any messages recieved.... I noticed it said HTC. I can see.... half of the screen? but the HTC splash is still on the remaining half...

Any clue why it keeps doing this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
That's very strange.

Try this:

Delete all the files related to Android. This includes default.txt, data.img, initrd.gz, system.sqsh (if there is one), zImage, data.gz (if there is one), HaRET.exe, calibration (if it exists), the "Media" Folder, etc.

After completing that, download, unzip, and place this Hero build on your SD. It includes basefiles and everything else that's needed. Supposedly it's faster and more stable, but I can't test that since I use a Touch Pro2 instead of a Tilt now.

Boot it

Hopefully the problem will be solved by starting from scratch with a newer version.

And FYI: It's competely normal for the first boot to take a while. Just leave it alone for ~5-10 minutes and it will usually finish.

Ok, so I got it to work but it's slow and I'm having a hard time adjusting to the buttons and what not. Thanks a bunch dave! I really really appreciate the help!!!

I know I've read this somewhere but is there a cleaner & simpler way to wipe an EXT3 partition??

*Yes I have searched but the recommended way didnt work*

I wanted to install the new JAC Sense build, I thought I wiped properly, & ran wipe from console but then once the build was fully booted up, GUESS WHAT my apps & stuff were still in there! Double wether app & other stuff I ma sure was causing issues from my old build & everything...I finally just blew everything out in parted & started again...but for next time

I did follow these instructions:

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

mount /system/

mount /data/

rm -rf /data/*

rm -rf /system/sd/*

But i did get an error about lost+found after running the rm -rf /data/*

I know I did something wrong what was it?? I dont see it...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MegaPower:
I tired quite a few roms.

And most of the roms have the problem when I am speaking, my ear touch the screen.

Is there anyway to auto lock the screen once the call is connected??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] magnus66:
PocketShield perhaps solves your problem :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] carlosmozas:
I turn off the screen with the power button when I take the call.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MegaPower:
anyway to make it like the stock rom that you need to slide in order to use the number pad.

Or use regedit to change the setting??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cokeyblokey:
Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=488991

It uses the g-sensor to detect when the phone is held in the typical in-call position, and turns the screen off. Turns the screen back on again when you move the phone back down from your ear.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] RiZK:
Well that option is just fine, it helps you to keep your phone bill affordable :P ...but without kidding there is another app that let's you phone go to quick sleep it's called:

advanced configuration tool

next to those options, there is a lot more to change..if you ain't an expert user, don't mess around with things that you don't understand!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MegaPower:
thanks for all the input, my rom comes with the advanced configuration tool.

I play around with the light senser and g-senser, but still cant get it work.

I guess I will just keep playing with it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MegaPower:
anyone can give me your configuration??

I play around with the light and g-sensor setting, but it doesn't work on me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] arkavat:
It is quite surprising that HTC did not put any proximity sensor in topaz. It's not that they aren't aware of this issue, they have put one in rhodium. Then why would they not put one in topaz?

HTC took 3 years to come up with a hardware comparable to iphone. IMHO HD2 is the only one that is comparable and in fact better than iphone. I like HTC and windows mobile... but sometime I feel that they are just using my trust to force me into buying a new phone every year by doing incremental upgrades to their phones.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Michaelr219:
This may be irrelevant and this thread will probably be closed, but Ive had a few while Im looking for a new rom and it lead me to a question.

WHY DONT ALL THE DEVELOPERS WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE ROM?

Im sure on of the ultimate answers would be based off of preference etc. but if we would all unite towards one specific goal, not only would we have more solid builds... but we would have more versions (lite, etc) but more themes, faster updates, etc.

I mean ive used this site for a couple years with different phones and we all seem to want the same thing. Speed, reliability, better battery life, etc. So why dont we conference, put our individual talents to use, create specific focuses and put together something Google themselves need to compete with.

I know a lot of the devs here already work together and I have no problems with the way things are... nor am I trying to disrepect any of the hard work you all have contributed. I was just thinking out loud.

Comments?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxisma:
We ARE working together, but we want to create ROMs for different purposes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jayzusfk:
'ultimate' is pretty subjective.

it's easy to see all the different, seemingly random threads about different roms and mods and assume there's no teamwork involved, but really, it's just different people trying different things and when one works well most others adapt it. otherwise, everyone has a different 'ideal rom' anyways.

it's a fairly darwinian approach, but it works pretty well. you COULD try to get everyone to organize and work on one idea, but i think we can save that for companies like htc, motorola, huawei, samsung, google, etc.

besides, anyone who follows this or other android dev sites for more than a couple weeks knows which devs to kep an eye on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dvice19:
what i feel is the ultimate rom, you don't think is the ultimate rom...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] despisedIcon:
the ultimate ROM for me is feature lite, and fast.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mi|enko:
And I like fast and feature heavy. Best of everything. :-D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Michaelr219:
All of your responses is exactly what I mean... Lets say for example, the devs focused on the fastest, most stable and lightest rom as a base. then moved on a way to easily create or modify a theme.

from there, we could move on to different versions... like a hero or blur, etc.

ultimately, every user is going to pick there favorite programs, so maybe we develop a way to easily choose which programs you want included before you flash the rom and voila...

i mean, im sure im making this sound easier than it might be, but with clear and open communication/ exchanging ideas and coming to a reasonable base... the possibilities are endless.

users could focus on the aesthetics like icons, themes, widgets, etc.

ALL WE NEED IS A SOLID BASE...

sure, there are some talented individuals accomplishing this on their own and thats all fine and understandable. I just know that with the power of many over one... a lot more could be accomplished easier, more deliberately and effectively.

Each dev could have a specialty that they focus on...

1. Themes

2. Troubleshooting

3. Speed/ Framework

4. Battery Life

5. The list goes on...

Create an FTP for everyone to access and we could show Google exactly what theyve been hoping for... which is developers alike coming together for the greater good... again, this is just my opinion, but im glad ppl are leaving their input :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Michaelr219:
and with the choosing of apps example... my idea is, if there were a lite version and an ftp or somewhere to host a list of signed apks that you could choose via checkmark, click download and it would automatically save them to a special folder on the sd card. then, the lite version could have a script that auto runs during the initial boot to install directly from this folder on the sd card.

I guess im just trying to create simplicity for the newbs and the devs or veterans that have been on the site and are tired of flaming or answering the same question.

I say, we streamline this process, create simplicity through orginization and leave more room for progress...

Ok, well thats all i have for now... I mean, I have a lot more ideas, but we'll see where this goes...

It's HTC / Google's fault for releasing different models of the same phone, as most blog publishers are oblivious to the difference and post news under the *insert adverb here* title 'htc magic donut'
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rossmoore81:
Well michael this thread did prove one very important thing. That even if your a senior member on this website you dont know jack. First cyan knows the nines and round here noone can really improve his stuff but him. Hence the reason he wont do his own hero rom. They lag no matter what. Sure you can take out all the widgets cut some fat off rosie. Well hell at that point just theme a donut rom. Running the heros and blurs r fun on g1 and mytouch. But if u ever actually pick up a hero phone or blur phone and test them.... u would see a huuuuuuuuuuuuge dif in performance. So basicly the guys know their crap. All of them. and they do work together. Read a drizzy post. Or other dev post. They always thank whoever for help. And if you want your ultimate rom follow cyan he will make it eventually.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wolfyy7:
You my friend are a pure genius, the problem is users ignorant and ROM makers naturally have low self-esteem. You see, take a guy like Haykuro he built the foundation for the first ROMs on the sapphire. Now he's fizzled out. BUT in the beginning he was the ****... Sure in every ROM maker's thread you will find credits etc. but that's all just ass kissing... You see, NO ROM MAKER DON'T MAKE ****! The only thing they get is an EGO BOOST! Who doesn't like an Ego boost? Developers at Google, HTC etc. Because they make $90,000+ a year doing what they do and they have normal lives with a wife and kids ideally... As for ROM makers on XDA they are either A) former workers at Google, HTC etc. who have grudges against their former employers OR B) they never got a real job working for a high end corporation like Google, HTC, etc. and ended up bumming it on XDA hoping one of their "fans" will buy they a lap dance... OR C) They are rich as **** and just love doin this **** for the hell of it because they like making ROMS, getting credit and most importantly, recognition and they ASS kissed constantly by people they don't even know... So there you have it in a nutshell with this kind of mix of developers, the ULTIMATE ROM is simply not possible... I certainly doubt I will never see it in my day or if we all go in 2012... If anyone does come up with something even slightly close to the ULTIMATE ROM I bet it will be Cyanogen or my man Dwang. Eugene was on the right track but he lost it when he turned out to be a SNiTcH AKA BIATCH of all ROM makers! But for real I love all ROM makers on XDA regardless of their motives or intentions, they spice up my life and hook my phone up and that makes them the ****. All of their work is appreciated obviously...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Michaelr219:
LOL... thank God for the internet. Id read some of the debates youve had in other threads and they got me laughing. Im on the fence, because Im not one to take sides, but not only are you funny... but I actually agree with you on this. I mean, just one thread above me I have some guy telling me that I dont know what Im talking about. For one, Im not claiming to know all there is to know about these phones... or Id be working for Google making the big bucks... and two, he only reiterated things Id already disclaimed.

I didnt start this thread to get flamed, but opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.

I realize that most of my ideas wont see the light of day, because without the cash or proper credit, people wont work together unless they "get theirs"

A lot of these devs work their @$$es off and receive "tips" or donations purely because they love what they do and I respect that sincerely.

However, the idea that working "together" to create the ULTIMATE rom is possible. Devs asking for tips, help, or using work that one already accomplished isnt what im referring to. It would take moderators, coordinators, infrastructure, hierarchy, etc... To those that see the light of what im talking about, thank you... to the rest, thanks anyway :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Michaelr219:
Read my words carefully... I am aware of what has gone on here on this site. I acknowledged that a lot of developers work well together. Unlike you, im not giving specific credit to any one or two individuals. We all know who has hit the brick and mortar with the foundations that have been set. A lot of those individuals communicate regularly.

I was nearly drawing into the fact that with technology, they could all (those who are willing, of course) conference regularly, establish agendas, specific tasks, and create a template. One that has been re-worked inside and out by each of their hands till there isnt any input that one individually could produce. From there, the focus objective could be the bigger picture like compatible themes, updates, easier installs, more features, etc.

I know im repeating myself to a degree, but I want to make sure the image is clear. There are a lot of devs doing the same thing, for some of the same reasons. But us users all come here for the SAME reason. To take our toy/ pride and joy/ project/ whatever you wanna call it... to the next level. To make it better than it was out of the box, to see the realms that it is truely capable of.

So rather than seeing some devs running into similar problems with their roms individually or simultaneously... One of two things would happen, either A: Solve it immediately once and for all or B: Catch the bug before it was even released. Hopefully my words inspire some of you. If not, keep up the great work.
