I love my HD2 :D

I am typing this now on it. I keep upto date with this forum regularly because of it. I finally see a use for the hithertoo useless social network websites. It helps me work. I enjoy music with it.

it is everything I could want.

for now. . .

I dropped my phone and need to replace the housing. It looks like the digitiser cannot be easily removed from the housing, so I bought one of these as well. Now all I have to do is move the phone from the old housing to the new and install the digitiser in the new housing.

Now it looks like the digitiser may have been glued in place. What type of glue should I use ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
More liked taped in...... I'm sure that lots of people will respond with.. Double sided 3M tape.... but if there's anything better/stronger than that on the market use it. Make sure it''s really thin tape to. I'm gonna be replacing my housing in the next month or so aswell. Goodluck.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] abzza:
As I also will replace mine digitizer, the newton rings are bugging me, it will be appreciable if you can share your experiences of the replacement process.

thanks in advance and god luck
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
Hey on more thing. I took apart my phone last night and put it back just so I know my way around when parts come in.

If your Digitizer does not work try loosening the top srews 1/4 turn. You have them on too tight.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ::Pixel.Freak:::
I wasn't replacing mine so I didn't have to remove the existing one. All I had to do was attach a new digitiser to a new housing.

I was told that double sided tape was the best, so I tried that.

I used the instruction from http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/htc-touch-diamond2 which was easy enough.

You need to ensure you remove the micro SD card first.

Also I forgot to move the LED diffuser from the top, so I need to repeat the process at some stage.

The housing I bought had a number of issues

* The two screw point near the bottom of the housing didn't have the metal inserts with the screw threads

* There was no seal between the metal housing and the LCD screen. This could let dust in.

That's about it for a brain dump.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] helgo:
Hi there,

I was also tired from that oil stai and ordered a new digitizer from these guys:

http://xxx.sw-box.com/htc-touch-diamond-2-t5353-digitizer-touch-panel-screen.html

Surely it arrived in 6 days, to my horror it was a generic display,

Had some trouble removing the old one, ended up breaking it :-)

The generic did not fit snugly, I had to sand down the edges to make them round, also had some trouble with the four buttons below getting stuck when pressing down, (shaved of some extra plastic). anyway used double sided scotch film to get the digitizer back in place.

apart from a few difficulties, it works like a charm.

Should have ordered an OEM but what's done is done :-)

Next time I'll do the cover and get a new digitizer :-)

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adamwest:
I would of thought double sided tape too thick to use to stick the digitizer on.

I was thinking of using a very thin sliver of clear silicone.

Anybody tried this or have any other suggestions?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] djg269:
I used a very thin layer of supergleu and it worked great!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Something72:
My digitizer came pre-glued. I didn't need any sort of glue.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715724
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] 2Fresh:
Silicone is OK

I used a very thin layer of black silicone and placed a book on top of the digitizer to keep it pressed flat into the case as it dried overnight. No problems since then...

The missing metal screw inserts can simply be pulled out of the old housing ; insert screw halfway and gently pull with plyers. Carefully hammer into the new casing; insert screw 3/4, put something thin and metal on top to prevent the screwhead from getting damaged and carefully hammer into the void. Make sure it goes in straight.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adamwest:
I've got exactly the same issue with my new housing, no bottom screw threads and no foam for the lcd to rest on. Am trying to pull the threads out with pliers but I think the old case is going to break first or strip the threads.

This is isn't an easy job
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adamwest:
have finally finished this epic!!!!

had to break the bottom screw threads out of the old front housing and took a good while hammering them into the new housing so I didn't break it.

used a small sliver of clear silicone to glue the digitizer in which seems to work well so far.

Have not put any foam or anything for the LCD to rest on, time will tell what effect this has.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] laps:
I need to change mine as well. Where can i buy a good quality digitizer and case preferably pre-glued?

I found a few on ebay but i am not sure of the quality.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Eyghon:
Today i searched also for shops which have digitizers and housings. I have found 2 shops, but one of them is a german shop (http://www.mobileok.de) which does not deliver outside of germany and austria. But the other one does: http://www.sw-box.com/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Donnie87:
what kind of glue? it's the third time that i'm re-gluing it, but dust keeps coming inside....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Eyghon:
I guess, it is not possible to hermetical seal the housing. I had dust in my original housing too. There are a lot of small gaps everywhere not only between digitizer and frame. But it would be easy to disassemble the device from time to time, remove the dust and reassemble it again. Save your energy in the effort to make your device dust proof.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Awesome! Thanks! disregard my PM lol.. Great timing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
LOL I was just getting to replying to you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thorracing1:
im trying it now nice work:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Let me know if any of you have issues flashing. I still have it all right here in front of me if I need to make a change.:D

FYI: The first boot takes for ever as it registers all the APKS. :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thorracing1:
i just get the HTC_IME fource close i installed the one from the site like you said and installed it and i get this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
So you installed both the HTC_IME.apk and the Clicker.apk? Did you do a adb push or a adb install?

Try and go into settings --> Language & Keyboard --> Touch Input --> Text Input?

I think its a force of habit with out really thinking to go there and calibrate but just going there may help.

Try that and let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
i just flashed it and pushed the keyboard and calibration app through adb and all is well. its working awesome. Thanks!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Awesome, keep the feed back coming as you have it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
please take note orientation doesnt work. please put in first post.

otherwise, great work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thorracing1:
should i do adb install or adb push?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Got it listed now, that one bugs me... Must have been to worried about building this to remember it. :rolleyes:

BTW thanks for the feed back!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I would do an install or transfer them to your SD card and grab a app like Astro from the market to install them. Don't worry we will get you worked out. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
lol well its a common problem, cant wait for a fix. really like what you did with this build
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Not able to get a working Keyboard :( Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. Tried installing through droid explorer.. no go.. tried installing from astro ..no go.. now it loads lockscreen.. dead... reboot..rinse and repeat :(

removed SDcard.. boots now trying to push.. but where do I push the apk files to?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Thanks, but I really can't take to much credit. Its a "Pick and Pull" from several ROMs. This one actually came from our GSM Brothers and then I used the CDMA tricks in this form to make it work.

I keep watching and playing with the Google Nexus Dumps. I would really like to get one of them up and running. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
Based on your posting and replies I assume you are re-using the 2.6.27 kernel like the other roms?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Wow thats allot in a little space.

What I gather is that it originally booted, then after trying to install via droid explorer and then astro it now just dies after the lockscreen.

I am not sure where to start. I would just say to do a full wipe, then a clean install. Then if you have the sdk try the ADB install method as Cynanogen's post talks about.

I am working on trying to get the stock Android keyboard to work. If we can figure out that then we don't have to mess with the HTC one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thorracing1:
ok i got it i just adb pushed them to system/app works great
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Yeah, actually some of your work if I remember correctly, thats why its got the same issues. My first goal when I built this for my self was to get past the blasted google bits sync loop. The more I worked into it the more I moved on to the 2.0.1 build with some of your stuff in it.

Your welcome to anything I have learned, its really not my work. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Awesome. You had me a little worried there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Was able to "push" them into the /system/app folder rebooted and BAM. gotta keyboard. Thanks! I'm dripping with newbsauce..sorry :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
LOL thats ok. I am one too. I have never really done this before!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I've been busy working on my modaco rom lately, but I intend on putting a lot of effort into building a working 2.6.29 kernel soon-ish. It's going to be an uphill battle for me. I figured it was worth asking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I need to get into that as well, along with building AOSP right out of the GIT tree. If I come across some noob pitfalls and struggles, I will pass on my solutions so you can avoid them (Or laugh with me about my lack of understanding).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ska8erMush:
wow! :eek:

this is awesome. I am really excited to see once everything is up and working!

i really like the look, the nexus one boot up animation, the 2.0.1 droid look (pull up bar, lockscreen)

awesome job!

im trying to decide this or 2.1 (with sense ui)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
how do i get the keyboard working what do i have to do to push it.. htc sync doesnt wanna work.. so ill just push it in some how..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Thanks!

Sense UI is huge, thats why I have a hero and not something vanilla. But every once and a while I like to get away and lose all the flare for something more simple, clean and fast. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ska8erMush:
haha true that.

my roommate just got his droid and i was all jealous cause 2.0.1's look with all the nice new icons and overall look.

(coming from an original g1 and original android a long time ago) haha things are looking soo much nicer.

this with the htc keyboard is gonna be the perfect combo
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
If you use adb from the android SDK tools directory you can just do:

adb install HTC_IME.apk

-or-

adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app

Then do the same for the Clicker.apk

I did the adb install method before I uploaded and it worked well for me but others have had success with the push method.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
how do i put the keyboarddd htc sync doesnt wanna work and i cant put ASTRO because i cant use the market without a keyboard
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
LOL I had the G1 for two months running Cynanogen Mod when I heard sprint was getting the Hero. It was sold that week and I was phone less for a month before it released.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thorracing1:
adb install or adb push it on to your phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I can't remember if you can access the market with out a google account setup but if you can ASTRO File manager is in the top 15 or so "Free" apps. Another said they tried it earlier and it caused a boot loop once it reached the lock screen. The adb method is best if you can but if not this couldn't hurt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
could you tell me the exact comands to add it

thanks :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Try this that I posted to you earlier.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ska8erMush:
hhahahaah! i had it for quite awhile! i got rid of it right as sense ui was making its big debut! when haykuro started this whole revolution

haha i miss its keyboard ( i used to have a ghetto sidekick which i was super fast at texting and the g1's keyboard had the exact same layout for symbols and etc) , but thats about it :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I agree! I loved the keyboard too! I thought it was a bother but now its not there I curse my self every time I need to type something. But I wouldn't trade the hero's form factor for anything.... well I dunno, what does HTC have coming out next week? :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
New Version 0.6 has now been uploaded on the first post.

It includes:

- Fix to make the Stock Android Keyboard work on first boot. (HTC Keyboard now optional)

- Wifi fix thanks to the awesome dudes at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=593620

As always do a nandroid, wipe and what ever, unless you want to walk the wild side. (Which with this update it might just work)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
Thanks :)

i have a question am having trouble with htc sync to get my contacts.. it doesnt wanna work..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Did you catch my update to v0.6 that has a keyboard pre-installed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
This build is a AOSP or standard Android build. There isn't any HTC software installed on it. HTC Sync is a program that comes with the HTC interface and tools like what they are cooking over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=593015 .

I'm sorry :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
very true am a noob XD

soo hmm anyway to save my contacts :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brian2220:
ok my trackball doesn't light up anymore with this rom :confused:

i did everything right so any help would be nice lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
i flashed this over your original build and i didnt have to wipe!!! also the trackball dosent light up anymore but that really doesn't bother me because its not used for notifications.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
He got the sensors to work, can you pull that off his rom too ??

I've been using his for about two weeks I really like it, stay vanilla its faster,

Great job Im downloading now to test.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
ok its installed, so far so good, Im not getting notification ringtone when I receive a text, I just selected another tone and restarted the phone lets see what that does.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I am already on it ;)

I have noticed on mine that the track ball doesn't light up or click but it does select. I will add this to the list of issues.

Good! and already added ;)

I haven't noticed this issue. Let me know how setting and then restarting works.... Yuck that sounds allot like winblows. How about just setting it? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Lessthantito:
I was thinking of trying out this rom it says I need to do a wipe what all does a wipe erase and will I have to reinstall all of my apps setting and such? and if I want to restore my previous rom from a Nandroid backup will it restore all of my stuff like usual?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Yes a wipe from the recovery screen will wipe all data - a nandroid backup will put everything back as it was if you're unhappy with this rom.

It's really painless, don't worry. I'm new to all this too and I've done it about 20 times already. My backup works fine everytime.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ska8erMush:
quick question,

when i get a new text or anything the green light turns on and stays on and flashes orange. (green light wont turn off till i look at the notification)

does this happen to anyone else?

thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JasonMudd:
mine doesn't turn orange, just stays green. Overall this is a solid build. Haven't had any errors when installing apps, nav works. Just get the camera and accel working and i'll keep it running full time.

Keep up the good work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
i installed the new version but it has the android keyboard how do i add the htc one... :P

edit

youtube videos dont work on high quality
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Sound in voice calls

This may just be me, but when I was trying to call someone, i couldn't hear the person on the other line
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
cant take screenshots ;s
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Wigets

Any words on the widgets, I love this ROM, however I like my old school Weather widget and MAIL widget.

Also, is there anyway to re-install your Sprint Navigation app?:)

Another thing that I think it might help. Next update prob can force the music widget to auto read all the music media on the SD card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
ive had the same thing happen to me 3 times today. i had to restart my phone each time to get it to work again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
This happens for me as well. I need to check what happens when its charging. It might be a update so that you can see when you have a notification while on the charger where as before it was just a solid non-flashing color.

On the first post there is a link to cynanogens post on how to get htc's keyboard working.

I just tried to play a HQ version of youtube (Only happens when your on wifi) it looks like it plays the first frame or two then pauses while the sound goes on. I will try and look into this and see if there is a easy fix, until then playing the Lower quality over the mobile network should work just fine.

This is really troubling to me and could be a show stopper until it is fixed. I will do some testing and see what I can get it to show up while I have DDMS hooked up. If any of you know what DDMS is and can send me the Stack Trace when it happens that would help a bunch!

I have screenshots on my blog aswell as on the first post of this thread. What method are you using to take them?

I think the widgets you are regarding are HTC only widgets which will only run inside htc's sense UI because it requires the HTC Framework. I know there are several widgets on the market that do similar functions. Maybe one of them will work for your needs?

Sprint Navigation can be installed like a regular apk. You may want to start looking here for more information.

Could you be more specific on what is happening here?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
I have tried every app from the appstore that can take screenshots but none work i have also tried the ddms method but doesnt work either. :(

i wanna show it off!! :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
when i try to use metamorph or screenshot app that requires permision for root which is a SU Request if am not mistaken, it appears as not responding and it doesnt show anything just SU Request on the top .... love the rom wish i would post screen shots :;[
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Have you verified you are rooted?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Can anyone comment on battery life with this ROM? I have found the 2.0 AOSP to really eat through it quick, whereas the 2.1 has better life than I have ever had on this phone.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
well isnt it supose to be rooted when i got this? :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I think part or all of the issue your running into could be the accelerometer not responding. I went to the market and downloaded my fav. screen capture application and realized this as it told me to "Shake" my phone to capture a picture.

What I did do is I went to the market and downloaded one called drocap2. When I opened it I had to press "menu" and then select timed capture. Then when I wanted to capture a screen shot it would count down while I went to where I wanted to go. I have uploaded a shot of my desktop below that was taken with this application.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Yes it is rooted. It has a application called "Superuser permission" this will intercept root requests from application and ask you to verify that its ok to do. If you deny an application that requires root access then that application will fail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
Any leadway on the orientation?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I have been running on a full charge since my last build at 1 am my time. 8 hours latter after I slept with it on standby it was down to 80 percent. During that time I received 20-40 sms / email notifications with vibrate enabled for them. That was at a draw of 2.5% average per hour.

It is now 12 hours after that initial 8 leaving me at 47% with a day of moderate use of internet, facebook, twitter application, and email. I tested some youtube action, had a 30 min consulting conversation on my phone, and about 30 test phone calls to verify if there is any bugs with outbound calls. Each lasting about 15-30 seconds. The last 4 hours of that 12 has been with wifi on. Thats a average of 2.75% loss per hour. I expect that the rate of consumption to go back down to 2.5% as I and it sleeps. At this rate I expect it will be dead in the next 18 hours of sleeping.

What I am trying to say is its Freaking good :D

But I haven't got any background services running and I am not doing anything extraneous beyond my typical day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
BTW I did have some battery issues with AOSP 2.0 when I got caught in the google sync loop. When I killed automatic syncing on that ROM my battery life was awesome but my Smart phone became a dumb phone with excellent battery life. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I'm sorry... I haven't had much time to try and pull it over yet. I will see what I can do tonight. It can work, I just have to port and test it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I tried to reproduce this on my phone and wasn't able to get it to happen. Here is what I did to try and reproduce it.

I made 30 seperate test phone calls to my home phone number to see if I could force the issue but every time I heard the voice on the other end. I haven't rebooted since my last flash about 18 hours ago.

Can I get more detail as to what your typical usage is before each phone call. Do you use any audio applications or use a bluetooth headset?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
every time i wanna try it ,sends me to the SU Request that its always on "not responding" force close or wait..... nothing appears it just says SU Request then black...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
did u try to call your phonefrom your house or dod you jus try callimg a number from your cell phone? sounds to me like it happened when someone called them.
