[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrbrice:
I have a Sprint HTC Hero

It's running 1.5

I've rooted the phone

I'm having some issues copying anything into, specifically, /system/media/bootscreen

I've tried mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

So /system should be rw:

drwxr-xr-x root root 2009-09-21 07:30 system

However, whenever I try to copy anything into that folder while su'd, I get:

# pwd
pwd
/
# cp /sdcard/Spor.jpg /data/local/
cp /sdcard/Spor.jpg /data/local/
# cp /data/local/Spor.jpg /system/media/bootscreen/
cp /data/local/Spor.jpg /system/media/bootscreen/
cp: cannot create '/system/media/bootscreen/Spor.jpg': Permission denied
# cp /sdcard/Spor.jpg /system/media/bootscreen/
cp /sdcard/Spor.jpg /system/media/bootscreen/
cp: cannot create '/system/media/bootscreen/Spor.jpg': Permission denied

I'm guessing i'm missing something stupid, but i've been messing around for the last night and I can't seem to figure it out.

Does anyone have any opinions?

Many thanks!

Permissions

You may have a directory permissions problem further down the tree, what does "ls -la /system" say? And "ls -la /system/media"?

BTW, another way for mount rw is "adb remount" before entering the shell.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Strange

That all looks good. It's possible you are not really root (and therefore owner of these files/directories). Once in the adb shell try running "su"...even though you have what looks like the root prompt...then the "mount ...." command you posted initially.

From there make sure that "/default.prop" says "ro.secure=0" not "ro.secure=1".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrbrice:
Yeah, I do have root. That's no question. I figured a work around - not sure why remounting rw (755) isn't working, but I changed the /system/media/bootscreen folder to (777) which is rwx and now i'm able to copy to and from that folder without any issues.

I'm trying to think about the underlying issue, but right now i'm happy. If my solution sheds some additional light to why rw isn't working, please let me know.

Thanks for your ideas though. I appreciate it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Graymi:
Sorry, just realised I should have posted this in the windows specific forum.

Still, any help much appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Graymi:
Okay, I've managed to do this. Via a hacky work-around.

Basically, I realised after a bit of playing, that if you set a "normal" wallpaper, all it does is create a registry key. But, rather handily, the start menu and lock screens (lock was also affected by this bug) would see this change, and update their pic.

Also, rather handily, if you set the registry to an image that doesn't exist, the image then defaults back to the appropriate stwater :)

so the workaround is as follows...

Every time i run the switch code, I write an incrementing value to the HKCU\software\windows\today\wall registy value. This can be anything, providing it's not a "real image"

when you next open the start menu, it looks for this "new" image, can't find it, so loads the appropriate stwater image.

I'm gona stick the program in an Xperia forum for some feedback/suggestions.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Just want to know if theres a possible way on how can i modify a .cab browsers programs assigned to connect to a specific server? for example java browsers like ucweb and opera mini connects to a specific address before the app can be use. i already learned to locate those class files in java that holds the address where it connects and able to edit that file and allow the app to connect to my carriers gprs services with no fee. so im now trying to discover and wanted to learn how to edit a cab file, locate the file that holds the address, and modify it just like what i did to most java apps so i can use it free of charge here in the philippines.

hope somebody can give me a hint. thanks alot

Hi. Can I use my Hero with Sony HWS-BTA2W Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver? I want to stream music with Gmote from my Desktop and play on my HiFi. Is it possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] basill:
I bought one from Ebay for about £30.

It DOES work but I found it to be too unreliable for regular use.

The connection often drops if line of sight is interrupted, ie if someone walks in between and it often takes several tries to make a connection.

This is with less than 8 feet between sofa and receiver.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] burakkilic:
That is bad. Are there anybody who uses yamaha yba-10?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Volker1:
Bluetooth should work fine as long as sender and receiver are in the same room. I think somebody dumped his broken bt receiver on ebay ;-)

A2DP is good quality, but if you have a high-quality stereo you'll still hear the difference between wire and wireless...

The OP should also clarify whether he wants to stream from his desktop or from the hero. Unless he uses the hero as his desktop, which I doubt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] basill:
It was definitely unused and sealed in original packing, just wanted to share the fact it does not work well with my Hero! I have since found some online reviews where similar problems are highlighted.

Sound quality when working is OK but as Volker says not as good as wires!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] fortunz:
It was surprisingly difficult for me to locate this. Outside of PC headsets, which typically have separate mic and headphone jacks, wired boom mic headsets are almost all 2.5mm. I didn't feel like messing with an adapter (one more thing to lose), and I was considering just splicing a 3.5mm jack onto a 2.5mm headset, when I found this:

It's a Cellet EP35BX. It has an answer button on the ear piece that purports wide compatibility with phones including the CDMA Touch Pro2 (I have the Verizon version). It has the boom mic, it has a detachable ear loop (for those of us who don't trust in ear earpieces to stay steady) albeit an uncomfortable looking one, claims to have some sort of wind noise reduction tech and the boom is flexible. The only two things it's missing that I would have liked is a mute button and a volume dial. If I like it enough, I may try and splice those in someday.

I realize the market for wired headsets is small, and apparently the market for wired with boom mics is even smaller, but just in case anyone else has the same hankering I did, there it is. The image is linked to the cheapest buyer I could find. He has an Amazon store too, I used his standalone store so I could pay with paypal. It's normally $15+, but at the above it's $4.80 + around 3$ shipping.

I have to echo my thanks here also. With whatever changes that may be needed, this should be a sticky.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
You have the radio needed. Get the 2005 Engineer's spl from Amon_RA's thread. That's the one that he gave in his instructions to root it with the gold card method. You can just flash it through recovery. I did my first mytouch, well second, I bricked the first one the first time, with the gold card method. Then we got a third one for my mom, and I rooted using 1 click root, then I just flashed the spl. It gave me no problems whatsoever.

i have the same question.

so do i need to wipe->flash spl->wipe->flash rom?

I am on dwang 1.13 right now, do i need to flash to dwang 1.12 then flash spl, then flash 1.13?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mt3g:
the way I did it was, go to recovery>wipe>flash spl>pull battery>go back to recovery>flash rom>reboot

worked for me every time

ok right now my sdcard has only a fat32, in ra-v1.3.2g do i need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache? then flash spl->bull battery->then back in to flash the rom? I read somewhere that you have to flash to a higher version of the rom that you are currently on, is this not true?

Thanks for your help
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] d_bot:
i havent wanted to flash an spl until eugenes new 2.0 rom....so could i throw both the spl and eugenes 2.0 on the sd card, boot into recovery->wipe->flash spl->reboot into recovery->flash eugenes 2.0->reboot and everything SHOULD work ok?

lol thanks man! im really tempted to try it tonight, but its late and i better not while i am tired hahahaha I don't want to end up with a $300 brick.

Okay thanks for the help guys. I was actually going to try what you all said to do but I figured I would ask first. I wiped everything flashed SPL 1.33.2005, pulled battery, entered recovey again flashed a rom let it boot completely, shut phone off, booted to hboot and my SPL was changed to 1.33.2005.

Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BlackElvis79:
Why...?

If I can flash Hero's and 2.0's and what not without incident, why change the SPL? What advantage does it offer? I haven't had any trouble with my current SPL. I had to change my SPL on my Dream, but that was because the Hero's were too large, but that isn't a problem with the sapphire. Just curious.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BlackElvis79:
Why...?

sorry. double post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
with the perfect spl, you can't do fastboot, so you flash an engineer's spl to rectify that problem.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BlackElvis79:
This is just an observation. I changed SPL's and when I went to fastboot to make sure the SPL was correct, I noticed this change also.

It had gone from this:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I

So, my question is why did it change from G to H? Also, does the S-ON changing to S-OFF hold any significence?

EDIT: I still get <waiting for device>, when I try to fastboot flash something.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
I noticed on my Stock Unrooted Hero that apps would run constantly by them selves even after a task killer cleared them. I think its the joy of our provider hijacking the phone and telling us what we want.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lv2bll:
i use an app called taskpanel, it is one of the only task killer apps to have an auto-killer, you can set it to 5, 15, 30 ect. minutes and it will close any app that is opened, it is also good cuz if you have an app in the foreground it wont close it until you finished
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
The main thing that custom roms were first addressing on the CDMA Hero are those programs that like to run in the background.

For instance... Sprint Navigation launches automatically when you get a text. I assume it has something to deal with the fact that you can text someone a location straight from Sprint Nav and it will show up in your Sprint Nav.

My personal opinion... stop using task killers. Honestly my phone became much happier when I stopped. I feel that the phone actually runs better when you aren't constantly terminating applications that aren't ready to be closed. Just let the phone do it's thing and uninstall your task killer programs. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BAttitude7689:
I understand and agree about the task killers but if i have sprint naviagation running in the background all day long since i text alot my battery is going to drain down and not really gonna let me last the entire day. so what do you recommend in that situation...? or is there no solution to that yet?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
The easiest recommendation would be to remove sprint navigation. There is also a great app out there called "Autostarts" that will let you view what starts when. You can go under sms and disable sprint nav. However that program hasn't worked for me since the 1.56 update. It still sees everything and tells you what starts when but if you actually try and disable something it just locks up.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BAttitude7689:
ok thanks for that, and I love the blue themed you added for the rom, anyway you can come out with one that has pink replacing the blue because my girlfriend is dying for that..just a request of different colors would be cool.
