[G1 Android Development] E2K:
This has been on my mind for a long time. I hope I will get a definitive answer in this topic.

I am quite fond of the HTC Dream, but I got a Hero because my carrier did not have the Dream. To my disappointment, almost every application was skinned by HTC. The music player, the lock-screen, the message-application, almost everything.

The browser even had some functionality removed, although it gained 'pinch to zoom'. Also the photo app is a lot slower, and the music player is very clumsy compared to the Dream player.

-Is it possible to port these applications to other android phones, in this case the HTC Hero?

-If so, would it be difficult?

Here is a list of the 'applications' that I confirmed as skinned by HTC:

-sms application

-music player

-calendar

-browser

-lock screen

-cellphone /dialer application

-contact list

-camera application

-albums application

I understand that the Hero is at 1.5, thus it would require the corresponding 1.5 Dream applications.

I ask this in the Dream forum, because you obviously have experience with the Dream, and also a very good understanding of how android works. Thanks for reading this!
[G1 Android Development] evilkorn:
Grab a 1.5 rom and try to install the apps.

You do realize that this is a feature of the hero and senseUI correct?
[G1 Android Development] E2K:
I understand that the skinned apps are 'features'.

I want to know if it is possible.
[G1 Android Development] coolmarkoo:
the browser and music application have been ported if thats what u were asking
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It would be possible, you would just to have the corresponding apps from a 1.5 dream rom. You would lose all of the features that the skinned one's have though. It also would not be possible without root access as you would need to replace system apps, which need elevated permissions
[G1 Android Development] E2K:
In the Hero forum, a developer was claiming that this would not be possible, because the Dream apps use a custom framework, which the Hero lacks. He (literary) said they would never be fully functional or stable :(

But root access, plus replacing the app should suffice?
[G1 Android Development] rrsaylor:
i have run many hero roms and had no issues installing older apk files from my G1. this has never been a problem. I am now running 2.0 and most of the widgets that i was able to run on hero i cannot run on here so in a word "no" they are probably not compatible. im thinking of going back to my hero =(
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It should yes, you would grab the Browser.apk from a cupcake build and push it to something like /system/app or /data/app_s or /system/sd/app_s or /data/app_int depending on what rom you're running
[G1 Android Development] otto888:
You MIGHT be able to use the early,non Sense UI Hero ROM dump apps.... but I have no idea where to find it now....
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
Stock Android?

Well, replacing all those apps should be as simple as replacing the apks in /system/app with the apks from stock Cupcake... but.... why have Hero if you replace them all? You're pretty much left with just stock Cupcake and some Hero framework that doesn't do you any good, except maybe for HTC Peep and Weather.... Why wouldn't you just use a regular Android build? 1.6 AOSP + Google apps should run fine on Hero... I don't know how well CyanogenMod supports Hero, but I imagine it should work just fine, considering Cyanogen officially supports the Magic.

I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but, seriously... why the heck would you want to do that, instead of just run an AOSP-based build?
[G1 Android Development] E2K:
Thanks for all the replies!

The Hero devs have not yet produced a working AOSP-based build, which is why that would not be an option.

Exchanging all the apps would, for me, be the best solution because 1.6 is not needed, and I want the trackball to function, along with the GPS for example.

1.5 with the original apps would be a blessing.

Afterwards, I can try to delete all the HTC things that keep popping up in the memory, like touch-flo (I use the regular homescreen), or the HTC mail, which I never used or set up, and see if it keeps working (without crashing).

So my best course of action would be:

1) collect all necessary apps from a 1.5 cupcake build

2) backup everything

3) root hero

4) nandroid backup

5) locate the to be replaced app

6) replace an app and see if the phone still works

7) repeat 5 and 6 until everything is working as much as possible

8) another nandroid backup of the working "stock cupcake-apped" Rom

and if I have time left;

9) locate HTC sense-related programs, delete them and see if the rom still works.

Any tips or changes to my plan before I attempt this?
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
barking up the wrong tree, here's what you do:

1. Find 1.5-based HTC rom (like in rogers or sapphire phones, not stock google ones)

2. ???

3. profit
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
lol an oldie but a goodie :)

honestly, to the OP, i'm not sure if you can push apps over adb to the hero. If you can, go and download haykuro 6.0r1. This is a "hero" rom, but in very early stages that I assume would run the stock apps from it on your hero. None of the hero apps at that stage were themed.

but remember, this is only if you can push apps to your hero over adb.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
also, hate to say it, but the hero isn't rooted...
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
wait it has! mebbe i should buy one now... lol
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
No somebody found it, but it is way too complicated. It requires a goldcard and this and that. Way too long of a guide for my way too short attention span.

Unless you have a Sprint Hero, but I didn't do a google search for that so I would

Hi all,

I have accidently soft bricked my phone, booting to the 'vodafone' screen then hanging.

I am pretty sure I know how to sort it, I just can't seem to track down a rom version for the unrooted phone.

I was planning just to apply that and then start from scratch ( I stupidly wiped my nandroid backup)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Traveller22:
Hi there,

Have been searching a lot in the forums, but I couldn't find a solution to my problem, so here it is.

I have Cyberon Voice Speed Dial installed and connected to "Button 1 (hold). Works fine that way.

When I have my Bluetooth headset on and press the headset button it opens the dial pad, but not the Voice Speed Dial.

Can anybody help me on how to accomplish that?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Traveller22:
Anybody? plz..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] marjon:
Sorry I cannot provide a solution but I have exactly the same problem.

Would be very interested if anybody has a fix.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Traveller22:
Read something about Duttys HG R5 ROM where this problem is fixed. Will try this weekend to flash and see.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] gianton:
This works on most available ROMs, only udK's ROMs don't have this function enabled.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Tatsch:
Maybe it depends on ROM, protocol, headset?

I'm using HTC Stock ROM WM 6.5 Sense 2.1, Cyberon Voice Speed Dial and Logitech Mobile Pro.

Pushing the headset-button starts Cyberin Voice Dial like a charm, although I didn't map the "Button 1 (Hold)" to Voice Dial.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Traveller22:
Haven't flashed yet to R5/6, but will take those things in consideration.

Thanks for your info!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Deleted member 1919717:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] rspillo:
Google translate, I don't speak english, I'm sorry:

If you want to start Voice Speed Dial by clicking bluetooth headset you must follow this procedure, where the credit goes to a user of xda that place this procedure, but which can not remember his nickname:

First you have to provide these two programs and install them on your device:

vijay555's Volubilis

MortScript

Are free and can easily find them online

Now create a folder on the device, calling, for example, VoiceDial and put it in the folder \ Program Files.

In PC create a new text document and insert this statement:

RunWait "\ Program Files \ vijay555 \ VJVolubilis \ VJVolubilis.exe", "-agoff"

Run \ Windows \ sddialer.exe

Name your file, for example, VoiceDial and change the extension from txt to mscr.

In the new folder that you previously created on the device inserts the file you created and copy mscr also the file autorun. exe located in the \ Program Files \ MortScript

With a registry editor go to the following registry entry

HKLM \ Software \ OEM \ VoiceCommand, Path, and in heading enter the path you've created

\ Program Files \ VoiceDial \ voicedial.exe

Soft reset and clicking on the Bluetooth headset, you open Voice Speed Dial.

In receiving phone calls you do not have problems because clicking the same button answer the call.

I use a headset HTC BH S100

Copy an original of the registry key, so you can always go back.

Let us know if you work, I was on Topaz ROM with WM 6.5 Build 23017th.

Hello

I forgot, if that does not work you do also this registry change:

HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Bluetooth \ AudioGateway \ BTA GExtModule = \ windows \ OEMAGW.dll

because it seems that if the word windows there is no such key has no value. Indeed there was no windows in my string, I've added and so it works.

I hope you understand

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CoTTon-o_0:
Hi

i have a little...problem. Today morning, my HTC Diamond felt out of my pocket into a train-toilet when i wanted to push the clear-button of the toilet.. and yes, there was (my) urin in it...

now my htc is off, cannot start. and it smells not really good.

so a friend told me to buy DI-wather (without iones and destillated) and to put the mobile in there, and then let it dry a week and then try start again. Because the urin can destroy..

what do you think about it? should i put my htc diamond into DI-wather? Or any ideas?

Yes I know.. how can THAT happen -.-

:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lsainsbury:
What a pisser!!! lol!

I don't want to suggest it but yes you could take the battery out and then put the phone in distilled water and them put it in the airing cupboard for a week to dry off.

To be honest I think it's screwed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] blurp76:
isopropanol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CoTTon-o_0:
and destilled water isnt dangerous for the mobile? because i see that my mobile starts again. but want to put out the smell... so i can put my mobile really into destilled water or is it a risk then?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vinayaksupekar:
If it is starting ok. I would suggest you just wipe your phone with disinfectant (with the battery removed) and then spray some good musky perfume like Aramis to get rid of the smell.

I think it would work. Give it a try.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CoTTon-o_0:
ok done :p

now i have washed my diamond in destillated water. now i have to let it dry for a week...

some pictures:

my stinky diamond

the things i needed

destillated water

wash the cube with destillated water

fill it with destillated water

bye bye diamond

blubb blubb

there it is

put it out after washing it 3 times

have fun :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CoTTon-o_0:
ok, now for all others:

my diamond runs great again :D

before i put it into destillated water, it made some problems. Now, after the destillated water, all runs great without any problem.

so for note: destillated water is good for your diamond :D:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 433Mhz:
I did that to a Nokia N73 that had been in the washer. It looked totally destroyed inside because of corrosion but worked afterwards.

You have to be quick because water can really destroy your phone. You should use isopropanol if the water has dried already because it gets rid of the lime.

And you should never try to turn your phone on after it has fallen into the water. Also replacing the battery has been suggested before turning it on again because the old one might destroy it.

BTW, you can easily buy destilled water at most super markets for about 1€...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Bbasso:
Mine got soaked when I forgot it in my pocket, I was on my motorcycle and got caught in a heavy rain...

It took a three weeks to come back to life, each week I'd put the battery in and check. Finally on the third week it worked.

I think HTC makes bomb proof phones!
[Touch HD General] Hoodeddeathman:
Hi

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem that seems to be just my HD. Maybe it's my music, but that's what I'm here to find out.

Whilst playing a song in the music tab, after a minute or so it just stops, the play/pause button is playing yet there is no sound and the progress bar doesn't move. It will only resume again after I hit pause and then play and even then the song just begins again. This happens no matter what ROM I am using. Miri, Dutty and PhamQuang roms all do the same.

Thanks for looking, I hope you can help.

Hey Guys, i had the same problem.

Good Luck!

[Touch HD General] murderdollpf:
if this works you will be my hero of the day

edit: the read only is checked clear after tapping it gets empty but then after reopen its checked clear again?!

what does this mean?

-> music still stops playing

would be grateful for further help
[Touch HD General] Juggler258:
Hello,

I too have been experiencing my 8Gb of music stopping when used with WM6.5 ROMs. Ripped using Windows media 11 (not Lame encoded).

I noticed that when starting to play an MP3, in the top left corner of the screen, next to the CD icon, was a spinning disc. When this disc stopped spinning, the music stopped playing.

My solution was switch on wifi (connected). Press Menu. Press Update Album Art. Press Current Song. The top right of the screen says Link to Gracenote. After some seconds an album cover will appear and the spinning disc will stop. I only needed to update one album and the problem stopped on all MP3s.

Nothing to lose,,,give it a try.

PS. I use a little mortscript to modify the following registry entry that allows me to turn off the screen without headphones connected.

HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Headset = 1
[Touch HD General] amuthanr:
Mate,

I forgot to mention the other part.

Ok try the below steps.

1) Copy all MP3 files into ONE folder. You should not use multiple folders.

2) Now in resco explorer, go to MENU -> EDIT -> SELECT ALL

3) Once all MP3 songs are selected, again go to MENU -> FILE -> PROPERTIES.

4) Now disable all checkboxes like read only, archive, hidden and system files.

5) Then select DONE.

Now you should be good to go.

Note: DO NOT SELECT THE MP3 FOLDER TO MODIFY THE READ ONLY. Even if you uncheck the read only attribute for the folder, it will show as read only if you look at the properties again. Change the attribute of MP3 files and it should work.

I use a 16GB class 6 SD card and it works great for me.

I had already opened a thread to discuss the issue.

You might find more info here as well.

[Touch HD General] murderdollpf:
thanks! it´s unbelievable, copied my mp3s into one folder and did what you said.

while playing the first mp3 it stopped again!
[Touch HD General] amuthanr:
Sorry to hear that it dint work. I completely understand your frustration coz i was one few days back.

Did u check the attributes of the MP3 files again after removing read only?

Do you face this problem in other audio players like, WMP, S2P as well? I never faced problems in other players.

Since the previous solution dint work, lets try something else.

Remove all ur MP3s in the folder. Just add 10 MP3s first. Try the steps I had given in my previous post. now after removing the read only for the 10 MP3s, try playing them to see if it works. If it does add another 20 MP3s.

You can also try to remove the read only by connecting ur SD card to a computer.

If you still face issues, format your SD card with default allocation size. Try loading the files into one folder and remove the read only attribute for all the files.

I am no techie guy.. if you ask me how it worked for me, i am absolutely clueless. :)
[Touch HD General] murderdollpf:

in windows media player all the files worked without errors.

Same issue fixed for me

Hi guys,

I had the same or similar issue with the Sense 2.5 included in my ROM.

I my case the issue was caused by the all versions of Manila 2.1 and 2.5 that created files named "AlbumArt_{937436F0-A712-496E-B610-48576D832D91}_Large.jpg" or "HTCAlbumArt.jpg" in the subfolders. I have of folder for each artist and different folders for each of their albums.

To resolve the issue I've only removed all the *.jpg file except the folder.jpg (256*256 pixels). After a soft reset, the HTC Audio Player recreated his own *.jpg named ~HTC_AlbumTitle.jpg. The only thing I don't know is if the name is linked with Sense 2.5 or Dutty's ROM.

I hope It will help someone else.
