check it out.....

good deal. let's do it!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] KW TP:
I am looking for a messaging app that will allow me to use skype, aim, and msn. The more important thing is having them run in the background so I can receive skype updates, calls and messages while utilizing the rest of my phone. Anyone know how to do this, or can point me to link about it. I looked for the last hour, but couldn't come across anything.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jonrock04:
I don't know about the Skype part (haven't really needed to look for a client to support all those), but for AIM and MSN, try Palringo @ http://www.palringo.com , I have used it and it works pretty good for those and other IM's as well... Hope that helps a bit.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jlechner:
I really like Nimbuzz. Pretty sure it has skype.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jonrock04:
I've used Nimbuzz... not a bad choice either, and if it has skype ( i havent used it in quite some time) then that would probably be the best solution.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] KW TP:
Thanks Nimbuzz does have skype, I am going to give it a try and post in a few days how I like it. If anyone else has an idea let me know and I'll try those as well.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] teddy333:
I have Agile Mobile. It works really well for AIM, MSN and Google (don't know about skype).

Hi, my device is HTC Cingular 8525. I want to get a screen protector film. I do have one now pushed on my phone, but its too cheap as I can see scrathes I made on it after one week use. I want get a new better one that doesn't have such kind of problem. I already look a lot of products. ZAGG's InvisibleShield ones seem good but I don't think buying a film for 15 dollars when my phone only worth 100 dollars is a good idea. Also I found on Ebay some item ask 10$ including shippment, but I don't know whether they are good. Therefore I want to ask: Anyone here has any recommendation? (Website links, keywords, ebay seller name, all welcomed) I want a screen protector totally charges below $10 with a reasonable protection against scrathes (both screen and film itself should be okay with scrathes made by stylus pen in normal use)
[General Accessories] TAMHAN:
Proporta. One word.

Excellent - except for very HighRes devices...as you see the grain there. However, generally, dont expect to get more than 3 to 6 months out of such a thing.

I've always liked ClearTouch Anti-Glare ($13) on my Hermes!

The best ONE is SHIELD SKINS believe me

The Whole Body Protection cost only $14.99 The Shield is made from the USA Military

Also the Shield Skin give you LIFE TIME WARRANTY

I will tol you the diference betwen zagg and Shield Skin they are almost the same, but Shield Skins have Better CUTs and they fit perfectly and protect 100% you whole Device..

You can chek this out here http://www.shieldskins.com
[General Accessories] nowhereusa:
sounds a lot like InvizibleShield http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield I've had one on my touch pro and it survived everything i threw in my pocket. No scratches or marks on my screen. The full body skin was decent, corners started to come away after a few months use and i was about to send in for a replacement as they also have lifetime warranties when i got an upgrade to the touch pro 2 :)
[General Accessories] gideonMorrison:
On ebay there are also numerous protectors to be found

someone here said they were good:

and its 3M!
[General Accessories] Mobile of Sorrow:
I have only Screen Protectors from Brando,a little bit more Expensive,but a lot Better!

I work as a Welder,so for me it´s important to have a Strong Surface because of all the Metal Dirt from my Work

Shield Skins are nice too,but i am from Germany so I couldn´t get the Shield Skins anywhere !
[General Accessories] Bob1213:
I like using screen protectors on my phone due to the fact it helps protect the LCD screen from dirt/dust and even if you dropped it screen first. Heads up don't get the mirror screen protector, they are hard to keep clean and it leaves your hand prints all over. I see it is that the above-linked screen protector is so cheap that it's worth a shot, and it means you don't have to worry about being too careful where you keep your Phone Touch. I'm definitely glad I have it. Just make sure that you take the time to affix it. Check this website: Uxsight.com
[General Accessories] awallalbert:
Hello

The "first generation" of screen protectors were made from very thin films based on the concept that an extra layer between the two surfaces (screen and stylus) would provide the needed protection to prolong the life of the device. These screen protectors came (and still come) in packs of 10 to 20 protectors and are hand-cut by the end consumer to fit the specific device. Such screen protectors, while offering extra protection, did not completely fill the need in the marketplace. They peeled up easily and they scratched almost as easily as the screens, causing the protector to be replaced often.

I have seen some good reviews of the ViewGuard Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector online. What do you guys think?
[General Accessories] mrdidovets:
ebay is the best place

bought 5 for $3.50

So, with the iphone it was possible (once jailbroken) to swap out system images (status bar, battery images, fonts and so on) on the fly via a file manger, once you uploaded the images to the device or connected via SSH to your computer of choice. So I'm curios if this is possible with android or is baking it into a custom rom / update and flashing it the only option?

Also wondering if there is anything like winterboard for android? I have toyed around with apps like ahome, pandahome and the likes, but I dont really like the idea of a replacement home screen.
[Android Themes] Smokuevo:
regular way is creating an update file that you flash in recovery with all the mods you done. new way where you can watch videos about.. is kind of cool you do it without the need of update file and mostly without the need to reboot the device to take effect. check it out. thanks to stericson ..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=574556
[Android Themes] Sane1:
That looks promising. A lot like winterboard for the iphone. Just needs a GUI and more safety checks, but, I'm sure that will come in time. I'll start making packs for it in a week or two hopefully once I figure out all the file names and paths.

Thanks for the tip!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
omg :)

downloading and trying it out right now :)

quick question though... does the headphone output work...?

oh, and keep up the great work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Don't know, haven't tested it fully, so try and tell me about your result. It should work correctly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
just booted and works great so far :

the headphone does partly work... no sound in the plugs, just on the phone, but the "remote" on the cord works...

will test some more :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
I'll fix bugs reported tomorrow, got to sleep now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
yeah, its an idea ;) geting late :)

anyways, great work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Nice work..will test tonight and report bugs tomorrow
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chaoscentral:
very nice rom, been waiting to mess around with Donut on a real device. One thing I noticed doesnt work but isn't on your list of to-dos is the Trackball.

Once that, GPS, and Camera are working I may have to use this full time until Eclair gets here :)

Great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shaon:
behnaam: u r the man. i cudnt have thanked u more. cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dusi:
great work！
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
so far it seems to work great, except the obvious (your to do list, the trackball and sound trough the headphones).

Its fast and stable, even marketanabler works :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
Excellent work, i've been really needing to use the vpn pptp function for sometime because I'm staying in china and facebook and youtube have been banned from here so this really helps :), downloading now. your the man
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shaon:
too good work man. just flashed. :D:D

just need the trackball for now. hope to get it soon as behnaam is working tremendously. thnx behnaam.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biffert:
Just out of curiousity :-) Does the standard ION ROM support Microsoft Exchange?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaapschaap:
Nope, HTC made that posible, Google added exchange to Android 2.0 so from then all future ROMS will support it i think ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Good work	behnaam - thanks!

Can you help out with a problem though, I'm stuk on a boot loop - so it get's up to the screen saying ' ANDROID ', which then disappears and then comes back again - on and on and on! :(

Only solution is to remove battery and do a nandroid restore.

Thanks:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
Hey benhaam,

Thanks a lot for the rom. I just wanted to ask, is there any functional difference between it and this one at the moment?

EDIT: Or this one! I'm getting a little lost between so many roms!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
yeah i want it to know too the diff between this ion rom and Lox_Dev's ion 1.6 rom. looks like same things not working in both roms. so which 1 to use?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Lox ROM is for devs, I planning on continuing the development of the 1.6 ROM for Hero. I used Magic's 32A ION 1.6 as base and built from there. Hopefully I get it working correctly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
Understood. I'm having issues getting AOSP down onto my machine, but I'll (hopefully) be set up to compile everything soon. I don't mind providing the hardware if you can provide some guidance =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MojUk:
All quiet on the clean rom front then b......if you need any input/support from us lot just let us know!

Moj
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
Yup - I'm playing with the AOSP source now, any tips for a AOSP beginner for this phone? I'd *love* to see a howto (well .. a simple list of your commands etc) on building a clean rom for the hero...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KinkyGolab:
är du på semester eller? ;p. hur går det med bygget?. kan du fixa en test ver alltså en update.zip. jag tror du behöver slänga upp nått här innan det blir ett nytt Stockholms blodbad ;p

keep it in english please. we'd like to follow, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:

are you on veccation..? hows the build coming....? can you release a test (an update.zip) i think you need to put up something new before this turns into a new Stockholm bloodbath...

More people having problems with the Route option in GoogleMaps?

It doesn't work here on MoDaCo 2.9

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spyz88:
Why does development of Hero ROM's suck? The only one is Modaco which is great but theres NOTHING to experiment with. I cant believe I bought the best HTC Android phone and theres nothing to mod it with.

/end rant
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
If you would read the topics on the forums, there are a number of reasons.

1. HTC just released the kernel source in September

2. HTC modified the stock msm kernel quite extensively, more so than any other version

Due to this, we have not been able to build a version of 'stock' Android Cupcake that actually works with the hardware in the phone. This means no backporting of cool features, no new stuff.. just the same old recycled HTC ROM.

We're working on it. Help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
Yup - its not as easy as you'd imagine...

I'm (with jnwhiteh and loxK's stuff) trying to get a 100% working cupcake (1.5) ... Once we have that - it should be way easier to get 1.6 / 2.0 ... excluding the new kernel that is ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
That and the pesky amount of proprietary libraries =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Despite everything everyone else has said about the actual state of Hero development, how about stfu and learn a bit about it yourself so you can contribute back to the community or just go ***** elsewhere?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
im not into this dev stuff, but would'nt it be easier to find / compile "drivers" / kernel if we knew the exact hardware in the phone...?

edit:

found this disassemble of the hero, not good enough pics to see the parts though :(

http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/htc_hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
Sorry marazi ... it doesn't quite work like that :)

A disassembly of the phone is unnecessary - we can determine all the hardware in the phone without hassle.

(Part of) The problem is that the kernel (Lets explain this as ... mmm ... the gateway from apps to hardware) does not support this hardware. HTC have released a custom version of the kernel which does, but that version is now out of date and we're having massive difficulties porting the HTC changes to an up-to-date kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
thanks for the answer, yeah, i thought so too, was just a thought :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
Thanks for keeping us posted behnaam, keep it up!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
Hi behnaam, just saw that the headphones issue got fixed by kiall in the cupcake threat. This might be worth checking if you have got the time :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
Yup - I'm 99% sure the same fix will work - The commit I've cherry picked is not included in the donut branch...

The trackball is next on my list of "figure out how the hell HTC got this working" list!

Once I get a 1.5 built, I'll be moving on to 1.6 - but getting stuff working on 1.5 is easier as I'm using an official HTC kernel to debug - eg I know for a *fact* that my issue isn't kernel related ;)

Nice work so far behnaam - hope you get free time soon to finish it off! It wont be long before I'm picking your brain for 1.6 specifics :) You on IRC or GTalk/XMPP?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] srt4mn:
Any updates to this ROM? I am looking for something like this, but would like something a little more stable for everyday use. Good work so far!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
I'm wondering if the AOSP that jnwhiteh is working on wouldn't help you in getting a working 1.6 ION ROM. I may be wrong, but since the kernel version is the same between 1.5 and 1.6 (2.6.27 I believe), wouldn't be easier to report the modification they did on 1.5 to 1.6 and through this process, getting the 3G, the GPS, the accelerometer, the headphone, the Wifi (...) working ?

Once again, sorry for my bad english.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
Nope, the 1.6 kernel is 29 not 27
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
My bad, I thought that the 2.6.29 kernel was only used on 2.0. Still, wouldn't jnwhiteh's work help in the task of getting a better 1.6 ION ROM ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
We're hoping so, but we're not done yet. It's just a building block in the proces =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cokbok:
21 pages of posts for nothing... And this "my hard drive burned", "my computer broke", etc. is not a new story. There have been similar before in other forums as well.

I understand the point of "free" development and I always respect that but only if someone ----really---- develops something.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Why even bother posting? You dont contribute anything to this community with writing such things. I've been working late and worked during nights to get things working on this ROM, that during my free time which I can use to sleep. And for sure I not made any progress, no one else have, Im trying different things to see if I can get things working. And for the computer part of your useless post, yes my computer did broke and I've replaced it with a new computer.

And now for some status update:

Debugging bluetooth now using the steps dream users did

Accelerometer is detected but I get bootloops when adding that modification, trying to find out why.

Submited the headphone patch to my source and compiled services.jar, still not working.

Started work on getting trackball working.

This is what I work with now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
nice work behnaam. keep up the good work.

and dont even listen to those morons.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cokbok:
i don't know what you mean by moron but i will take it as a compliment. that is because i am sure you would not mean to say something rude to other people in public places/forums/etc just because they do not support your idea and disagree with you that there is a great and appreciable work here. however, do not worry, i feel your pain already and will not post anything further to discuss with you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] franklinvv:
Haha, you made me and my friends laugh. Thanks for that. :p

Keep up the good work, behnaam! :)

Check LOXs fully working eclair insted from now on ;)

MODS REMOVE THIS THREAD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] E2K:
sad to see this go, there is so much missed potential by closing this :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
right, and the 2.0 is noth ready at the moment;).. no gapps ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ozxobez:
behnaam, don't close this. Your rom is waaaaay less buggy then the 2.0 Lox rom. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
Check this on IONs 1.6 ROM:

Check this on the Eclair ROM:

I think it's VERY right to close this thread and let behnaam contribute to the Eclair ROM instead.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
somebody that understands me, even if I could fix the ROM easly now that we found the issue about hardware, it not worth it now that we got a delicious eclair waiting to be 100% working, 99& ready, 1% to go ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
But we have no google apps or sync on the AOSP Eclair build, and likely won't until HTC pushes out a ROM that we can use to backup the apps. That's why I can't use it =/.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
Could we wait to close this thread at least until you guys sort out that remaining 1%? I LOVE having a fully working stock eclair rom on my Hero, but it's not much use if you can't synchronize your contacts or install any apps to actually use on it right?

What I mean is, the eclair rom is today potentially MUCH cooler than the donut one... but, so far, the donut one is still more useful for day-to-day use.

I hope that changes soon but please, don't close the thread until that happens!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
It's better for to focus on getting Eclair working then working on updating this ROM. I serioulsy think that full OBEX support is better then to have donut for a week. Keep your hero roms on the phone, you wont die to have it one more week, because you've had it more then that before :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thorracing1:
is anyone going to make a 1.6 rom for the cdma hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
When you look at it that way, I don't really expect any updates or support for this rom so yes, I think it would be safe to close the thread. I only liked to have a place to discuss your rom, and find it sad to see it go.

I don't that there will be any future changes to this rom as the creator is now working on his legendary releases.

The Rom is to to to to fast!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Seriously, is this Spam, lots of oooooold ROM threads seem to be being dug up.

Why would you use a unstable/unsupported Donut (1.6) ROM when there's blinding fast 1.5 and newer 2.x ROM's available?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cserft:
Only because of the speed...

and I just think that is perfect if with out of BUGS...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Right.

Well credit to Benhaam then, I guess.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
are you sure this rom is faster than modaco 3.2 or kimera 1.8 overclocked? have u tried those roms and compared the speed? i dare say kimera 1.8 overclocked to 710mhz is the fastest rom there is now and it's almost bug free too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
the only diff (yet, that ive noticed) between the two releases is that in Lox's 1.6 rom, gps works...

But im pretty sure behnaam will get this and the other stuff working :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NisseGurra:
Adb push is not functional on this ROM, and Root explorer can not edit any files in system/app/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
thnx for the clarification bro. cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
So the keyboard on this is really really fast.

Not sure I like the kb layout as such, or the predictive, but it seems as functional- more so, with the speed boost.

As much as I like sense, this is so much more functional, I think i'll be going with this once its complete!

Super work
