[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
Well everyone. Look over on the Android development thread and you will see 2 Hero 2.1 roms. Not fully working but if you wanna test go for it. Once its done downloading I am testing this stuff. Just remember it is GSM so we will have to change stuff to make it work with ours.
[Hero CDMA General] nelson8403:
we won't be able to use them.. at least with anything working.. there are no drivers for 2.1 for our phones
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
True but this is a good sign as obviously the Hero 2.1 dump has been unwatermarked. I am trying to see if there is a way I can get ahold of the dump because I believe it might be a CDMA dump. If not, then we will just have to wait.
[Hero CDMA General] giovannizero:
Wait if Android 1.6 and 2.0 both have CDMA support built in then all we're missing our the specific drivers for the Hero which should be available in the 2.0 leak to GSM phones right?

Also, I don't understand how we are at a disadvantage because CDMA wasn't built into 1.5. The drivers for individual phones aren't built into Android so why wouldn't that sink us just as much as the no-CDMA thing?

I was running cyanogen 4.2.3 when my sd card died with apps2sd running.

I needed to use my phone so out of desperation I flash the HTC "recovery image and have been running that for weeks. I finally got my new 16 gig class 6 card and I have discovered I have no root.

When I hold down home I and turn on my device I get the exclamation and I press alt l and then alt s it won't apply the update. Is This because of not having root access?

What should I do? Should I downgrade to rc29 and re-root?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robkoehler:
yes. have to re-root
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedroid:
Also, when I hold down the camera button when I boot the phone, I get the 3 androids on skateboards.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byt3b0mb:
does it say S-on or s-off in the top right with the skateboarding droids?

if it says s-off, you can go to command prompt/terminal and fastboot flash recovery with cm or amon_ra's recovery image, then flash the update you want

ok, I just have to get adb working, I've never used it before.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fishscale:
I read these forums for a couple of days before I rooted, and have read them again for this problem for about 6 hours. I am unable to figure out what my situation is, and I'd like your help. Bear with me here...

I had successfully rooted my phone and loaded Cyanogen before the Google C&D (not sure of exact version number). For some unknown reason, my phone suddenly refused to accept phone calls and would send them to voicemail. I checked and rechecked all my settings, even disabling my voicemail altogether. I also noticed that many menu items also changed at this time. My send button no longer brought up the dialer, and my home button stopped bringing the phone to the home screen. Holding the power button only yielded options for reboot and power off. Airplane mode could only be accessed through the settings menu. I decided that I should unroot the phone and start fresh with Cyanogen's new instructions.

I downloaded sappimg.nbh and followed the directions here: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

This was successful, and when I booted again, it brought me to the screen that you get before you activate the phone. Now, I don't have a data plan, so I was unable to activate the phone with my google account. I decided I would go ahead and reroot the phone and follow the new Cyanogen directions using the original factory image first, then installing the new Cyanogen update on top of it to keep the original google apps. Here is where I discovered the problem: Holding HOME and POWER to get to recovery boot brings me to the very terrifying screen with the triangle/exclamation mark on it. At this point, while I realize there are still actions I can take, I want to make sure that this is ok before I do anything. I don't want to brick my phone, and I am already unable to get to the recovery boot.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
you can't really brick your phone when flashing a rom, well you can, but you have to try really hard. The same thing happened to me the first time. You can flash the recovery again using fastboot, if you had an engineers spl. Since you still have the perfect spl, you will more than likely have to do the one click root again. Just reboot the phone, and you will have the stock donut rom. Downgrade to cupcake, then do the unlockr's method again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mr.tenuki:
As tazz mentioned, this is no problem - by flashing the sappimg.nbh you also flashed the recovery and lost your root.

As this is the cupcake sappimg, what you need to do now is to go on with activation, then flash the recovery again using the 1 click method and go on from there.

If you do not have a data plan, try bypassing the google activation described here
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:
flash recovery again if u can go into fastboot mode
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fishscale:
I believe that I have cupcake (1.5), not donut.

So, if I understand correctly, unrooting the phone means I lose the ability to go into recovery boot using HOME + POWER. I am still able to go into fastboot when pressing BACK + POWER or VOL DOWN + POWER. However, I am not clear on whether or not I will be able to flash recovery using fastboot this way. If I just load a recovery .img file on the sdcard, will I be able to use fastboot to flash it? I was under the impression that I would only be able to do this if I could use recovery boot. Also, since I most likely do not have an engineers SPL, will this work? And finally, how do I check the SPL?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fishscale:
I should clarify when I say check the SPL. I mean, how can I be certain that the SPL I load won't brick my phone? As far as I know, uploading a new hboot is a good way to brick it, no?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
u need to root your phone again.. when u installed the SAPPIMG.nbh u unrooted your phone.. now u need to root again.. being able to fast boot doesn't mean u have root.. a unrooted phone can access fast boot...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fishscale:
Got it working!

I was doing it correctly, I was just unable to get it to root at first. Took 3 tries, then I was able to boot into recovery mode. Thanks for all your help!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lucius Snow:
Hi all,

I've purchased a HTC HD2 today and i'm trying to customize the today screen.

- How to display many appointment ? By default, there's only one on the today screen

- How to skip the favorites contacts and go directly to the full list ?

- How to remove the big clock display ?

- How to remove the photo display during a call (to give more space to the name) ?

Thank you !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Alik4041:
Hi, this is my first thread so far :) I've been doing a lot of research about my phone, figured it was a good deal, and purchased the Tmobile version. I've been looking for a case even before I bought it, but it seems there isn't a perfect case out there simply because of the sliding keyboard. Well I was just using my TP2 about an hour ago and as I was using the stylus to scroll down in opera, I heard "SCRAPE!" ...my ears said "WTF!?!?! NO!!!!" and i quickly realized what had just happened. Never thought it was possible but whatever. Anyways, I've had the phone for 6 days or so and I plan to exchange it tomorrow.

This has definitely motivated me to find a case and screen protector and end the headache. So I've came up with the following from reading some threads the past hour, but I want to be sure before I order. So far I have this case

http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Hard-Skin...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45ef91bf67

and these screen protector (boxwave Crystal or Anti-glare)

Crystal

http://www.boxwave.com/products/cle...screen-protector-t-mobile-touch-pro2_3668.htm

Anti-glare

http://www.boxwave.com/products/cleartouch/cleartouch-screen-protector-t-mobile-touch-pro2_3668.htm

I'm still searching as I don't want to purchase something and regret it, but let me know what you guys think. I've heard good things about the plastic case, but overall I'm looking for quality, but no more than $45 for case. Much appreciated :)

EDIT: DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A SCREEN PROTECTOR IN THE BOX :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Alik4041:
I don't bite :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] fortunz:
It was 2000 the first time I experienced that. It was a palm m500 and a little piece of dust got on the tip of my stylus. I didn't hear it so much as I felt the friction, but my reaction was much the same. I haven't gone without a screen protector since.

As to the included screen protector, use it if it works for you, but you'll typically find better durability in popular protectors like the boxwaves you linked to or clarivues. The clarivue that I put on my Palm TX in 2005 is still on it, and still looks good.

The thing I worry about with a lot of those no name brand cases on ebay is how well do they really fit? The last thing you want is to have them falling off. I don't know if my fear is well-founded or not, but I didn't really want to gamble on it. But as far as TMo goes, I'm not sure what to tell you. Boxwave actually has a pretty cool soft case called the praetorian crystal slip, but not for the TMo version. Seidio seems like a nice quality joint, but they don't seem to make their innocase for the TMo version either.

Edit: I suppose you could check this thread out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] hchavarria:
I had the acrylic case with screen protector and I removed it shortly after purchasing. The porblem I had is that the screen protector is superficial and although it works sometimes when I typed certain virtual keys another part of the screen protector would also bend down on my press and caused for a different near by character to be pressed. Eventually I got rid of it and just purchased a seperate screen protector.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Alik4041:
I really am looking for quality though for a case, just want something that's not too big or will not hinder usage of the phone. I've heard a lot about the ghost armoring and all. I'm considering it, but that will not save a phone from a fall or anything like that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] RobTsintas:
Consider an all-body protector (such as zagg or bodyguardz), combined with a pouch or holster case that you remove the device from to use it.

This is my preferred method, so my TP2 is well protected when it's not in use, and I'm completely unhindered when I am using it (but still with scratch protection).

Note that the protectors need to be applied very slowly and carefully to make sure they're lined up well and properly stuck down around the edges.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dougstoner:
I have the same clear hard plastic case and absolutely love it. I've tried the body glove case, and had some issues with sliding the keyboard in and out. I just use the screen protector that came with the phone, and the clear hard plastic case. No problems at all, though I still have to take the case off every once in a while to clean it, but you'd have to do that with any case really. Get a lot of compliments on it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] da9th_one:
Does it add much bulk...???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dougstoner:
It really doesn't add much bulk at all. I did have the body glove case, and it definitely added a lot of bulk. I keep my phone in my pocket now, but it's def worth the buy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] liht:
So it fits alright eh? The bodyglove one didn't seem to snap on correctly, and all the other ones I've seen fit so tight that it tends to seperate the screen portion from the keyboard portion...no issues with fitment for the tmobile version? Can you post a picture of how it looks with the clear case?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Alik4041:
I just ordered some phantom skinz, I'll report back when they get here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dougstoner:
I think it fits better than the body glove case. Plus, it looks way better. I've had mine for a while now with no problems. Even take it off a bit to clean it up, and no issues. Check my old thread out...Have pics on post #5.

:confused::confused:

I have an ASUS P320, Running Windows 6.5.1.

(From here http://winmo.forumpro.eu/p320-f5/build-23085-chome-wwe-t71.htm)

Now I over-clocked the system with OMAPCLOCK - and was running it with 240 MHZ. The Wikipedia site is stating that the processor clock is 200 MHZ.

This Overclocking leads to battery drain - last night at 7:30 P.M it was at 63% - and today morning 9:00 a.m. I saw it was shutdown, that is out of battery. 2:00 A.M in the morning I went to sleep - it was not shutdown then - that means there should be 5% or so battery left then even more.

Any clue - O great Gurus? :o I set the clock frequency 204 MHZ now. Can you please tell me how to avoid battery drain - minimally with over-clocking?

Thanks a lot and anticipating reply.
[General Questions and Answers] AndrewSh:
nmondal, you should think twice before you start to overclock your OMAP. It is highly integrated processor and it will not work well if overclocked anyway. Sure the behaviour of you phone in overclock mode highly depends upon the revision of the CPU.

But I wanna tell you that 6.5 spoils the battery on your device much faster even without overclocking.

Besides - in some cases overclocking of your phone can cause non-working WiFi and even telephone module.

Another important thing - the OMAPCLOCK does not show the CPU frequency on your phone correctly - check the default meaning - is it 200? I suppose it's something like 186. So if you still want to overclock it - put 204 and it will be around 6-10% performance increase.

But as I told already - think twice before you do that.
[General Questions and Answers] nmondal:
Thanks folks

After I made the frequency to 204 MHZ - everything is fine. :):):D

Thanks for all the information - next time if I face any issues - I would refrain from overclocking. And yes - the default is 186 MHZ.

check the logcat, it will give you details on what's going on (you can see it never freezes or crashes)

(said in the next post, but wanted to explain why)+

Zip Align reduces the amount of RAM used during processing running for a major speed increase in dex-opt and running the apps, along with the RAM hack and a CC (or your userinit) boots speeds incredibly: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/zipalign.html

Most developers have not used this yet, but this does for the system apps provided from the now old Google Apps

CM does not ZipAlign his apps as most dev's don't - but this is a great advancement in speed and RAM usage

ran for close to half hour. Gave up. going back to CM 4.2.6
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
you should wait - the first boot takes an eternity (sorry for that) - depending on the apps you run, ZipAlign will take a long process time

Boot will always be slow at first boot, then also slow when you install many apps

These enhancements prevent "out of RAM, removing background processes"

[G1 Android Development] gophergun:
I'm interested in this as well, if the only performance issues are increased boot up times, I'd like to try this on SenseHero if possible.
[G1 Android Development] Fnorder:
The script seems well coded and I'll probably use this rom as my next upgrade base. FYI, since system/etc/init.d/06zipalign checks all apks on bootup, you might want to use something besides md5sum. stat's printout of size:mtime should be enough, though cksum is faster too. On high load (like present on a bootup) md5sum took up to 8 seconds, cksum 5, and stat 0.3. This is for 66 apk's.

I use that prog the most and gmail... now whats weird is, i was doing some testing... if i launch handcent on my MT3g 32b... it takes 3-5 secs, right? ok, then i hit the home key and launch again, it will still take 3-5 secs... BUT!

if i use the back key to exit the prog, its almost instant when i go back to the app...

does the home button close it out entirely? could you put the latest build of handcent in your next build??? please??? i know a lot of ppl use it... OR.

any tips on how i can get the most out of speed for that program, cause i multitask a lot...
