[Hero CDMA Android Development] andyandrwew:
Hello. I am sick from school today and decided to make a thread to help out some people.

DOWNLOADS ARE BELOW(AT THE BOTTOM!!!)

All of these steps are posted on TheUnlockr.com in a Video but The video is for the GSM version. The difference is just the recovery image. (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/)

Ok lets get started.

This method works on all Sprint phones with updates. I am not sure how long this will last unpatched.

First YOU HAVE TO HAVE ADB WORKING!!!

Download my zip file if you do not want to download the entire SDK.

1)After it is downloaded, extract the files to C:\Windows\System32\

(you can copy and past the file-path)

2) Now pickup your phone and go into Settings-Applications and Enable Unknown Sources then from there go into Development and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled.

3) Now connect your phone to your computer and open up command prompt (Start-Run(or search) cmd.exe.

4)When it is open type: ADB Devices.

You should see your'r phone's serial.

Now download flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk (the download is below)

1) Copy the file to your sdcard.

2) Download any File Manager from the android market.

3) Go to your Sdcard in the file manager app on your phone.

4) Press flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk

Let it install.

5) When it is complete, go to your apps drawer and open the Recovery Flasher app.

My method requires you to have a recovery image before root.

6) In the recovery flasher app, Press Backup Recovery Image

7) Let it work. You may have to try twice for Success.

8) Now Mount your phone back on the computer and replace the recovery-backup.img with the recovery-backup.img on this thread(MAJOR thanx to Amon_RA)

9) Now unmount your phone and go back into the Recovery Flasher app on your phone.

10) Now press restore and let it flash recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img(Amon_RA's Sprint custom recovery image)

YOU NOW HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE!!! WOOT WOOT

the work is still not done.

Download the Superuser.zip(http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=211569&d=1249225060 or in the downloads below) and extract it to your Sdcard

Now go into your new recovery image (power off the phone and then power it on by holding the Power and Home buttons)

Connect your phone to a computer and run command prompt.

IN COMMAND PROMPT TYPE:

adb shell
mount /sdcard
mount /system
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
reboot

(you can copy and past the code into command prompt from the thread)

Download the Better Terminal Emulator app from the market and type:

$ su

if you get a

#

then...YOU NOW HAVE ROOT!!

now you can install custom ROMs and root-required apps

There are many chefs that provide quality ROM's for you to use.

However, if you've gotten excited about the idea of cooking your own ROM, you're going to need a kitchen. ROM kitchens typically contain a relatively recent version of a mobile device operating system along with applications that ensure that all of the features of a device remain functional.

As chefs become proficient in the culinary arts, many of them wish to offer a little "something" back to the XDA community in the hopes that it will benefit others. So as to further encourage this willingness to help and share with others, we have created pages in the XDA-Wiki which permit chefs to post their kitchens if they so choose.

This thread will serve as an index, of sorts, to the kitchen related XDA-Wiki pages.

About the XDA-Wiki:

The information is available to all users and naturally being a wiki, everyone can contribute to it. We will be monitoring ALL changes and ask that the system not be abused.

Hi guys,

Is there any wimo application that measures the amperage supplied by a charger? I found acbPowerMeter that offers information regarding power used by phone, but nothing about the power that is supplied TO the device.

Any advices?

Many thanks,

Radu
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SlimJ87D:
There is a setting in that program that tells you from what I remember.

Actually I remember when I used it, instead of -XXXmamps it said +958mamps meaning it was almost charging 1amp to my old tilt. Which my charter is a 1amp charger.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nradu:
still no solution

Thanks for reply, but I couldn't figure out how to make that program to show me what you say. I started the program, let if running for several minutes, plugged the charger and after another minutes still no infor regarding input current.

There are no options to set up in the program.

Any other ideas?

Many thanks,

Radu

Try nueROM's nuePower/Backlight CPL. It displays Voltage, Discharge, Charge, & Temp along with having a few other utilities included.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
and Today's plugin HomeScreen PlusPlus (aka BatteryStatus) will show power consumption (and ampere on charge)

no idea if it's accurate though
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nradu:
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much, it's working. Any experience with nueROM's battery? I use the Chainfire's 1% battery driver, I'm quite happy, but I'm very curious about the Fast Charge Mode.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nonpaq:
[Edit: See post # 7 for hardware fix that solved my problem]

I need help with improving calling reception on the used AT&T Fuze I bought for use on the TMobile USA network, specifically North-Eastern USA (NYC metro area).

I have SIM unlocked the phone (thanks to purchased unlocker from Olipro), I have flashed with several ROMs (starting with NRG's EnergyRom "photon" series), and I have tried various Radios and matching ril dlls. It surprises me just how bad reception is. In areas that my old T-Mobile Wing (a.k.a HTC Herald)gets almost full signal, the Fuze fluctuates from three "bars" down to none, with the signal being lost and reacquired constantly. I have tried "locking" the band to 850 and 1900 GSM (which is what Tmo USA uses) with little effect.

I'm at a lost. I have tried searching this forum, but several posts are related to AT&T network (understandably as it is an AT&T phone) and issues with TMobile UK reception (which is supposedly bad). For the most part, it looks like TMobile USA should have great reception in general in my area..... but I don't. I know my area has coverage by looking at other phones, just not my Fuze.

Can anyone from the NYC Metro area (mostly northern NY area) who has successfully connected the Fuze to Tmobile help me? What ROM and Radio combo worked best for you?

Plus, can anyone with experience tell me if it is possible that my phone has a hardware problem. Could there be something wrong with the antenna? How could I test this, and or fix this if it is hardware?

(Note: I am referring to regular GSM signal. I know that there is no 3G for me due to unsupported 1700 3G radio band.)

Thanks.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nonpaq:
Radios I have tried are:

Ralp 1.10.25.18

Ralp 1.14.25.35

BS 1.17.25.09

Quartz 1.11.25.01

X1 1.10.25.18

Each was tried with the default RIL in ROM and the version specific RIL (when available). All have been identical with poor GSM reception.

Has anyone been successful with using the FUZE on TMobile in northeastern US?

Another question: Does keeping a radio for longer period of time help improve the signal locking, as if the tower and phone need to "learn" about each other? I remember old non-smartphones used to have to have their list of available towers updated so that the phone could recognize newer, closer towers. I assume that this is no longer the case.

Plus: Fieldtest shows occasionally the GSM 850 band is used, but most of the time the band is listed as "PCS". Is that the GSM 1900 band? I believe that Tmobile mostly uses 1900 in this area as well as 850. Is it possible I am not seeing the 1900 band?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tt1114:
I have the Fuze on T-mobile as well. I am in the SouthEast and have good luck with Radio 1.14.25.05. I've tried them all. This Radio I've used for almost 5 months now; good reception, good GPS, good batery. Try it, with matching rilphone ofcourse. good luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nonpaq:
Well I loaded up Energy Titanium latest build (Nov 10) and had radio version 1.17.25.09 from before, and all of a sudden I was getting 3 to occasionally 4 "bars" in my home (previously I would get two "bars" max). It would occasionally drop and rescan for signal but not often. Outside had a solid lock on the signal.

I thought I finally found the perfect combo, but unfortunately when I got to work, indoors, 40 miles away from home, it was the same ol' story. Mostly no signal lock, with an occasional 1 bar signal.

Watching FieldTest data is interesting though. While scanning for signal, I can see the NCell info get data, which I understand are cell towers the phone "sees" but are not locked in. It fluctuates from 1 to 6 towers seen, down to none with the phone not moving. The receive strength reported for these towers varies from -106 dbm to -97 dbm, but does not lock on to the signal. (I occasionally get GPRS lock with zero bars). Can anyone explain this to me.

Plus, can any of these reception problems be related to using an AT&T phone on the T-Mobile system, preventing the towers from allowing a lock? I always thought that the SIM card's IMEI controlled access, but could tmobile somehow lock out unknown phone models?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nonpaq:
I flashed the Radio 1.14.25.05 and installed the matching RIL version and now I'm getting a lock of 1 "bar" where previously I did not. Fieldtest shows the same signal strengths as before for Neighboring Cell Towers [NCells] except now it is locking onto a signal of -105 dBm or better. (I even got 2 "bars" at -103 dBm ) According to the ARFCN field , it is now locking into the 1900 band (CNs in the 600s) where previously it would only lock into the 850 band (CNs in the 100s).

Looks good so far as I can actually get phone calls now!!! Thanks for the recommendation. (By the way... it looks like the signal gets better as time passes. By the time I finished this post, the phone is showing a steady 2 "bars").
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nonpaq:
My saga continues.....

My two bars at work were short lived. Signal is now back to 1 or no bars. I am going to experiment with some of the older radios.

Heres an interesting thing. I experimented with another persons AT&T SIM card and reception was great!! From the same location, AT&T gives "Full Signal" yet TMobile gives barely 1 bar and cannot hold onto the signal. Now I realize that the TMobile towers might be located further than the AT&T towers causing the difference in signal levels, but if not that, what else can cause one to be so much better than the other. (Keep in mind, my other TMobile phone, the HTC herald, gets great service, as does the other person's regular AT&T phone. So I know there is service here.)

I know the ROMs are not service specific, but are the radios optimized for particular services. Is there any radio that may be more generic, or optimized for the 850/1900 GSM band that TMobile USA uses?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nonpaq:
I fixed my bad reception problems with my fuze on TMobile USA. It turns out that it was a hardware issue, the antenna was not making a good contact to the circuit board.

I opened my Fuze by removing the four screws under the back cover. Then use a flat plastic "stick" to separate the casing from the keyboard (careful, the back speaker is connected by a short wire from the circuit board to the back plate.) The GSM antenna is at the bottom (looks like black tape from the outside back). It connects to the circuit board by contact tabs that touch when the back plate is on. What I did was slightly lift these tab "fingers" so that they extended a little more. The theory is that when I reconnect the back plate they will press harder on the contacts on the other side.

After putting everything back together, I'm getting full service where previously I got only two bars.

If you have bad reception, and you are not afraid of voiding your warantee and cracking open your phone's case, you should try this simple fix. I recommend looking up the disassembly guide as there are several potential problems you need to be careful of. First, the back speaker wire can easily be broken. Second there is a main circuit board and a smaller daughter board which can separate. There are two connectors, a large one about the middle of the phone, and a small on on the side. Make sure both are connected (pressed together) before reassembling the phone case.

Let me know if this is useful for you. I can put together a step by step guide if you want. Just PM me.

where did you get the radio 1.14.25.05?

where can i find this radio with the matching RIL???

thank you im also having the same trouble with my htc fuze for t-mobile
[General Questions and Answers] GatorsUF:
I (as everyone) want to upgrade to the new Droid. I unfortunately just got a new phone, thru Alltel, back in July 09'. I am told that I am not eligible for an upgrade until July 11'.

I was curious if there are any loop holes on how I can upgrade early, without paying full retail. I am not talking fraud, but just some way I can do it legitimately...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] k.electron:
I have a HTC Fuze. The last few ROMS that i have been using (Energy, RRE, Tael), all the Apps always use the 3G internet to do their work even if a much faster Wifi is connected. Is there any way to make all apps(including things like email) globally prefer the Wifi when available? Also I dont want to have to keep changing settings to do this, It simply needs to be "If Wifi available use it, else use 3G"

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] redskilldough:
What i did was to go to start>settings>connections>advanced>select networks and change the default connection to the internet to "My work network", rather than my 3G network. This way, if theres any connection to the internet needed, my phone will use my wifi connection. The problem with this, however, is that when you dont have a wifi connection available, the phone will not connect to the internet unless you change the above setting back to your 3G network. If anyone knows a better way, please let us know
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] k.electron:
no i cant keep switching. thats too much trouble. there must be a better way.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rexian:
Does it automatically connect to WiFi when a known network is within range even when the phone is in sleep? If yes, does it disconnect once not in use for a while?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Solarenemy68:
As far as I know there is no way to do it automatically. You can use one or the other but they must be switched manually. All HTC phones have always worked this way. Maybe if the demand was high enough which apparently it is not a Chef could come up with an app that would do it. But for now you must do it manually.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] k.electron:
no i leave wifi off normally to conserve battery.

that is extremely failurous. not preferring the fastest internet connection is major fail. did not know that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |Jason8|:
My phone does this automatically. It uses the WiFi whenever it's on. If the WiFi is off, it uses the data connection.

Maybe I'm understanding it wrong?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] k.electron:
what the heck? how? u must help me find out..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] wakady:
i think it does prefer wifi over 3g in WM 6.5...!!

to check it out here is wt i've done....turn data connection off...check that its on in the notification manager "when u click on the task bar"..then run any app that needs internet " opera, msn messenger, email...etc" while this app is online..

now there r two ways to check it

1-the notification manager & see if it turned to 3g data connection...if so u should find a timer running in ur service provider section, if not then its only using wifi

2-check the communication manager & see if it turned the data connection on, if its off then its using wifi...

thats how it is with my touch pro...i'm using energy rom nov. 08 build
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] firiel:
Indeed it prefers wifi connections 2 data, but You have to :

1. Have Known wifi spots in range

2. Keep wifi connection on, while in stand by

Keep in mind that if a program starts to use the data connection it wont change to use the wifi one. So firstly connect and then open programs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] k.electron:
apparently its some sort of combo of this. i am using 6.5. any apps that have been using 3g continue with it. and i have to go to the comm screen and turn off data to force new apps to consume wifi. which isnt too bad, certainly not as bad as going to the network options. i would wish they made this a bit more seamless like with the desktop technology, i can switch from wired to wireless lan without even dropping a skype call.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] k.electron:
now i have discovered a new problem. even if i open the app after i have wifi turned on and data turned off, some apps just dont want to use the wifii.

Bing maps and google maps for example just tell me there is no internet.

this is really pissing me off, whats the point of having wifi on a phone if the apps wont use it. i dont really care about the google location service if the data is through the internet, but atleast turn on.

lame.
[General Questions and Answers] bwfcmadlad:
Being an avid phone enthusiast i am due my upgrade in about a month's time and i am pondering what to go for next. I currently have a TD2 and there doesn't seem to be too much on the market yet that would be an advancement on what i currently have. Does anyone have any advice to offer or know of any phones in the pipeline that might be worth waiting for?

Thanks in advance guys!
[General Questions and Answers] ben_duder:
Wow! It's only been out since April and already you're getting an upgrade? That's got to be an expensive contract..

I'd say from the specs (the processor and RAM, the capacitive screen etc) that the HD2 is currently the best WinMo device on offer, but with Android becoming ever more popular it might be worth considering the Hero (although this won't be a big step up on your TD2, hardware-wise), the new Xperia or the Motorola Droid when it comes out in your area. Other than that it might be worth waiting for WinMo 7, as 6.5 seems to have been quite a half-hearted release in anticipation for something much bigger.
[General Questions and Answers] bwfcmadlad:
Not really, I have family members who work for o2 so get a nice discount plus my upgrade will be to something else that I will sell to fund the new phone. I think the HD2 is just a little too big for practicality reasons and I believe Android 2.0 will be released soon. I get the feeling that Android is a little bit 'aesthetically pleasing' as opposed to practical but I may be wrong as I don’t know that much about it. Would there be any good justification to go for android at the minute?
[General Questions and Answers] ben_duder:
I suppose mainly the ease of use and the App Store that currently farts all over the Marketplace, although having messed with the Android to Raphael port it seems quite thin on the ground... I can see what you mean about the size of the HD2 though. Personally I would strongly consider the TP2 as I'm a qwerty guy, and I assume that if you're on a decent O2 contract and haven't got an iPhone then you're pretty happy with 6.5?
[General Questions and Answers] bwfcmadlad:
yeh i dont mind the 6.5 and i have enjoyed using HTC handsets so looks like i might just keep my cash to the side until something is released that makes me want to part with my hard earned money. Thanks for the advice! :D

Has anyone had this issue with the stock ROM? I changed the PTT button to Voice Command without issue and the next time I went in to make a change there were 4 new options for "Button" (see attached). 3 by default are assigned to <Context Menu> and I can't exit the screen with more than one button being assigned to a specific function. Don't want to change buttons unless I know which ones they are. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pistou:
No issue for me. I've reassigned both buttons, but have not had this issue. Mind you, I did not reassign PTT to Voice Command but to Rotate Screen -- don't know if that would be relevant (but I doubt it).
