[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furrypotato:
First you will need to know what firmware version your phone is using.

Go to settings on your phone and 'About phone' If your Build version starts 1.76. then you're in luck as it's much easier.

Root your phone first : http://neilandtheresa.co.uk/Android/

Then you can install a recovery image on your phone (lets you do a nandroid backup and flash new ROm to phone) http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ng-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device/

Then use that recovery image to flash whatever ROM u Want.

Generic:http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-09-10-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/

ModaCO:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=552591

If your phone is running software version 2.73. then it's harder. I've done it, it just takes patience.

First use the goldcard method:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=572683

Then root:http://neilandtheresa.co.uk/Android/

Then use flashrec to install recovery image:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559613

Then it's as above, just select the ROM u want and install it.

Hope this helps.

no need to root first, you can go directly into fastboot mode and flash the custom recovery. worked for my t-mobile germany g2 touch with 1.76 rom without a flaw.

don't forget the nandroid first thing after the recovery image is installed, and update your radio aswell. the IU version works best so far with t-mobile germany for me.

edit: this is not development, and should be moved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steel_4d:
thanks first for your fast answer.

what means

"open a command prompt to the directory containing the extracted files" i dont understand this step if i translate it to german its not easy to understand it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DiNoise:
ok, so before i reflashed my rooted hero with Modaco on it to stock sprint ROM, all adb commands were working fine, I could easily write a file to phone's system using adb push command.

NOW, after updating and rerooting it,

it won't give me a permission to do adb remount in order to do adb push.

It will still let me get into SU and write a file from there,

for example i'll have to adb push a file to /sdcard/ then get into SU and do cat /sdcard/myfile >/system/myfile and it works fine,

but NOT adb remount!!

Any ideas why this is happening? (thanks)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
not sure , but its been confirmed that flash modaco first then then fresh rom and then push to system, btw that's what i did, and im using fresh rom .4 with MR. Working Great here...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DiNoise:
I did it, it's a part of the rooting process, and that's wat let me write files within the shell or remove them, but when i exit out to do adb commands it seems like it remounts back to read only mode and doesnt permit to remount from adb remount
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oxeneers:
I'M HAVINg this same problem. No idea why.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
I'm pretty sure this is because the /default.prop file has the permissions set to read only. I've been trying to figure out how to change this, but having no luck with this or other modifications that MoDaCo built into this ROM. started a thread over here:

Hi,

I'm running on SUN-Y RC1.

Love this rom and works great. The main problem is that I can't go into Landscape mode while in manilla (2.5). It'll only work on the music and photo tab.

Really love to have a solution for this.

And some less important stuff:

Contact tab: I'd like 1 photo with BOTH SMS and Phone button.

Internet access: Best way to ONLY access internet via WiFi?

Hi all.

Got my shiney HD2 today, but this evening found it had downloaded 20 mp3's. Checking the music menu, theres no option to stop it from downloading random music files.

Your help would be much appreciated.
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Are you sure they were downloaded? There's some sample music pre-installed on the device and some more on the MicroSD card I got with it. As far as I know, there's nothing in the music player that can randomly download music.
[HD2 General] MaxReality:
Hi, well I got the phone earlier today from a shop. And it had 2 songs in the music section. I thought, sample music. Checked again this evening and thers 20. But I also found the mobile has been used earlier this week.

I did ask the shop if it had been used, she said no.

So I presume people have messed with settings. I'm gonna do a factory reset and start afresh to see if it fixes it. Bit strange though, can't find any app or setting relating to downloads, but they are coming from amazonmp3 store.

---edit---

Re-reading your post. Tonight I found I hadnt fully inserted the memory card, so when you say theres a couple on the phone and more music on the sd card, makes me think its all sample music. Duh! Does yours include 8 tracks on the memory card. including... Andy Caldwell, Collette, Kaskade?

Case solved methinks. :) cheers for that.
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Yep, those artist names sound familiar! :-) Case closed! There was a Copilot map on my memory card as well, by the way.

I there any settings or something to adjust proximity sensor? I was trying to turn off screen covering sensor with thumb, but.. no effect.

Does it need any setting or my phone is faulty?
[HD2 General] jakem:
I noticed the same thing on my phone today.

The proximity sensor doesn't work if you've switched off the Automatically adjust backlight option in Settings>Sound & Display>Backlight. There doesn't seem to be any way around this as the proximity sensor doesn't have its own option.
[HD2 General] cortk:
Are you in a call? You need to be calling/receiving a call for it to work.
[HD2 General] cfu:
I agree, I think you need to be in a call for the proximity sensor to work properly.
[HD2 General] aldabal:
For me it works fine. And i don´t hade automatic backlight on.
[HD2 General] jakem:
That's interesting because I can toggle my proximity sensor (whilst in a call) by toggling the automatic backlight. That option must be linked to something else as well.
[HD2 General] acostaf:

I do have the same behavior, when I make a call the phone's screen goes black automatically so if I need to press any key have to press send to get my screen back, then use the keypad, nonsense, is anyone having the same issue ?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Noob on this forum.

I was wanting to know if there is a custom ROM out there only using SBP Mobile Shell 3.5?

I have tried a few different ROMs but I keep crashing whenever I put SPB on there. And All of them eat a lot of memory when multiple UI are loaded.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Rob
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bteljuice:
try to flash a light rom, where you don't have Sense UI in it. That way you can have low memory usage.

BTW, when ur installing MS3.5, are you disabling from Start - Settings-home-items-HTC sense? unchecking it would be better. Less mem usage, less crashing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ROBOHOLIC:
Thanks bteljuice.

Yes I have been disabling the Sense UI just like you noted. But I am not able to access all of the settings menus if I do not have Sense initiated. I can only access some of those tabs from the start menu settings widget. And if I am in SPB not all of the widgets work on the start menu.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bteljuice:
Im sorry, I didnt quite understand.What settings menus? Everything you need (programs,settings,applicaitons,weather is built inside MS3.5.1). You never have to use the Start button again.

From the recovery image to get APPS2SD by simply running the format the SD using Ext2+Swap+fat32 right?

I have a class 6 card. How do I know if this actually works? I formatted and my internals space did not change?

Are there major benefits of doing APPS2SD?
[Hero CDMA General] JASII:
Yes, first format the SD card.

To see if its working,

Check your Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Internal phone storage. Make note of what it is at. Install some apps, maybe even try reinstalling some of the apps on your phone. Then, check the internal storage again and see if you have some more space.

As for the benefits, it just frees up your internal memory on your phone. I don't think it makes your phone faster or anything.
[Hero CDMA General] redram38:
The question I have about APPS2SD is this. How come when I use it my internal memory drops after I install apps. I have not used it since I had to go back to the original Sprint ROM to do the update and installing the same apps I had before, my internal memory was about the same as it was when I used APPS2SD. I used the recovery screen to format to Fat32-Ext2-Swap and files were on the sd card when I checked, but my internal memory still drops everytime I install something. What is the real benifit of this if the internal memory drops anyway. I am real confused about this and have not decided if it is worth using since I have read it can damage your memory card. Can someone with knowledge of how this works please explain it.

Thx for all the great Info found here.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
AppsToSD only puts the apps themselves on the SD. The internal memory is still used by the boot-cache, dalvik-cache, and actual app data like settings, saved games, cache, etc.
[Hero CDMA General] rvenes:
Must it be ext3?

What if i have ext2?
[Hero CDMA General] kenley_ser:
If youre using one of the newer recovery images there should be an option to upgrade ext2 to ext3

as for the difference...im not to sure exactly
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Answer: . . . . .
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
As far as I know it works just fine on ext2.

As far as the difference, the nutshell version is that ext3 is pretty much just ext2 with journaling hacked in. If you don't know that that means, do a google search on "journaling file system".

There should be no downside whatsoever to switching to ext3. It can still be read from and written to by anything that can use ext2, and it adds more robust error recovery.

Caveats: I'm not sure how well, or if, that error recovery works on flash memory devices. My expertise is working with large servers that use hard disks. I also don't know if there are tools in our android builds that take advantage of the benefits that ext3 provides.

Having said that, I'm still confident that choosing to upgrade to ext3 offers NO downside, and while there might also be no upside, there is also the potential for a huge upside.

My advice: Do it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
I don't think there's going to be one in the future, unless SPB provides Mobile Shell for free. Chef's cannot provide ROMs with commercial software on them -- that's frowned upon.

They may be able to provide a ROM with a trial-version of SPB Mobile Shell, but then the user is either gonna have to purchase a license or uninstall it. Then they're left with a basic 6.5 ROM with Titanium, which is something a user can start with rather than end up with!

Perfect ROM for SPB Shell

I too tried a million different ROMS and finally, it was agent_47's RHODIO ROM that I loaded up and stayed smooth with SPB on top. Camera works, I can watch a normal divx compressed, 700 Meg movie file on TCPNP or whatever that player's called, and I'm using 5 fully loaded desktops on lifestyle and one on professional. It's a dream setup! Just use a class 6 micro sdhc and install everything there NOTHING into the device.

[General Questions and Answers] Newromancer:
I bought an HTC Touch2 (unbranded) and for whatever reason I can not change the "Network selection" to "Manual".

The "Phone -> Menu -> Options... -> Network" screen didn't even contain any settings besides "Find Network".

A quick google found the policy setting reliable for it and changing "HKLM\Security\phone\ManualDisable = 0" does bring the desired setting temporarily back.

However, after a reboot the key changes back to 0. (Could fix that with a program in autostart.)

However even with the setting enabled I can not change it to manual selection. The moment I try to select a network from the list I get the following error message: "Cannot register on selected network. Choose another network, or disconnect you data connection." (I have not data connection open.)

Any ideas? :confused:

Help would be appreciated!

[General Questions and Answers] Newromancer:
I thought it might be a TouchFlo issue, as the Band selection is gone as well but accessable through TouchFlo.

But the settings are available on the HTC Touch pro2. I am really annoyed about this issue, as I deliberatly bought an unbranded device to avoid having to hack it :mad: -> if I wanted that pleasure I would have bought an i-thing.

I was able to identify the registry keys changed by the setting:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneNetSelMode]
"ManualNet"="11122"
"Option"=dword:00000001

111 = the desired networks MCC

22 = the desired networks MNC

I will try out if setting the keys manually will have the desired effect or if they will get set back automatically after reboot. Should that work I might just write an app to set them. (Somehow I doubt it though.)

Is there a contact for HTC one can contact for this kind of enquires? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Newromancer:
Just in case anybody else has the same issue.

it turned out that the SIM card sent an ADPU command to the ME on initialization that told the OS to disable the functions.

So running my batch was overwritten every time the phone reconnected to the network.

Getting a different SIM card solved that issue.
[General Questions and Answers] eeldivad:
i have this same exact problem. i don't mind buying a new simcard, but before i do how can i be sure i'm buying one that doesn't send the adpu command to reset the registry? i doubt the guys at the store i buy the simcard from will have a clue what i'm talking about. i have a really old sim from cingular before they were bought by att, which is my current provider.

do you have a script or batch that i can run on my phone manually to set the registry? i'm using ceregeditor now but if i don't have a computer then i need to be able to set this key using just the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] genius_kz:
Hi!

I tried to flash from original EN ROM version on RU version and had the same problem - the device displayed Windows splash screen and then just reboot. So, I was confused but I didn't stop this process and after half an hour Windows loaded...(during this time I removed he battery and pushed soft-reset button a lotof times).

So, my only advice is to try to wait with re-booting device till the Windows boot and then to flash the original ROM (if you'll find it).

For me - after I loaded RU version of Windows I just flashed for custom EN ROM and it was OK (without this issue).

Good Luck!

Rom update can be computer's fault

DimIce's program works perfectly. I've thought I bricked my phone many times, but always have been able to recover. This is what I recently discovered. In the middle of a flash, my computer said "write error". 'Thought my phone would stay dead. Finally, I switched to another computer and flashed the phone with no problem. So if you suffer a bad flash, simply change computers. If none is available, reboot your computer to clear the memory, etc. (by the way I'm using Windows 7 x64) and try again - sometimes even changing the USB port might help. The phone excels in it's ability to be re-flashed -even if you suffer disaster in the middle of a procedure.
