[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searius:
Hi to everyone!

I just bought my first HTC Hero(T-mobile UK) and is the first time I moved from Nokia phones.So I dont know to much about those phones.

My question is that how can I put an original Rom not the one from T-Mobile Uk?Which one from the version is this link :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559622

I want to have greek language because I a live in greece.

I read some hours in this forum that first a should Root my phone and after I should put the Other ROMS.So is possible that after I Root my phone I can put one of the others original ROMS from HTC?

Thanks in advance!

[Imagio ROM Development] hdokes:
Is it just me or is anyone else beginning to wonder if the Imagio may be the 'Vista' of the HTC product line? I searched high and low to find any information on HTC's web site regarding the Imagio and could not find any reference what so ever.... EVEN in their product line listings.

I love my Imagio but I notice that contributions/discusssions to the Whitestone forum here on xda appears to be dying off and I am very concerned that even the mfr of the unit doesn't see fit to include it on it's web site.

I hope I just overlooked something.
[Imagio ROM Development] lafester:
You didn't search very hard.

Make sure you are on the HTC US website....

Have tried flashing a compatible radio ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] allmadden365:
i have radio 1.27.12.11 im pretty sure thats compatible is it not?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stuntdouble:
Have a read through the radio post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=393182

Then try all the radios listed for whatever version of wm you flashed.

If none of the radios work from on there, you probably did some damage when you dropped it.

thanks a million it worked :D
[Touch CDMA General] alltellmobile:
this is really getting irritating but every time i put android on my storage card it wont work , i download the basefiles zip from vogue android and extract that to my storage card then download the system image and put that on my storage card and every time i start haret and it boots to android but it gets to the part where its searching for the system image and it says it cant dind it
[Touch CDMA General] nabicat:
Have you renamed the system image to system.sqsh?
[Touch CDMA General] alltellmobile:
no it was system.img but i havw also tried another system.sqsh and neither works
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Put the system image in the android folder on your Sdcard.
[Touch CDMA General] alltellmobile:
that could be why i will try thanks
[Touch CDMA General] 160bpm:
If you use the latest Basefile HERE

And try this ION Donut build

Everything in root of your SD Card. Can be FAT32 or FAT32/Ext2/Ext2 (when you use F/E/E you must press Volume Down when he ask to run the installer)

And update your default.txt with this information:

set RAMSIZE 0x07000000

set RAMADDR 0x10000000

set FBDURINGBOOT 0

set MTYPE 1553

set KERNEL "\Storage Card\zImage"

set initrd "\Storage Card\initrd.gz"

set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=2 ppp.apn=internet ppp.username= ppp.password= pm.sleep_mode=0 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=1 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000"

boot

Then it will work. It work for me and for some other...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richbayliss:
We have had alot of activity over the last few days, what with the first 2.0 releases from the main players and now even some 2.1 builds. Which is excellent.

Maybe I am not 100% up to speed on the whole thing, but if AOSP 2.0 is "released" by google, then surely things like sync issues, etc shouldn't be in the source code?? I mean, the code should be as "bug free" as possible, so anything obvious like that would strike me as odd.

The reason I raise this point, is because I dislike the Rosie/SenseUI on my Hero, I would rather have the good, old Android standard like I had on my G1 - just what I prefer. However there are only beta versions of the AOSP eclair for Hero.

Would it be possible to build an AOSP eclair firmware, using the Qualcomm? proprietory drivers from someones leaked 2.1 image (working on an assumption that 2.1 has the same kernel base?) to produce a fully working Eclair 2.0 for Hero?

If I am way off the mark with this, please say, I'm just trying to think it through with the help of the people in the know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
Ditto. I am all for AOSP 2.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
I think part of the "issue" is that whilst Google have release some 2.0 code to AOSP, it is not currently complete (see here). In addition, many of the Google apps (e.g. Gmail) are closed source, so you have to rely on prebuilt components which may, or may not, be compatible.

The long and short of it is that Lox is already doing what you are asking. The prerelease of HTC's 2.1 has possibly served as a distraction to the AOSP 2.0 build, but I'm sure once Google properly drops AOSP 2.1 code that work will be of direct relevance to the AOSP project.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
yeah exactly. just sit tight and wait for Lox_dev to finish his 2.1 Then he might look after the AOSP 2.0. and as AOSP 2.0 is running pretty fine without much hassle its fine if Lox takes some time before working on AOSP 2.0 . cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] E2K:
I'm with this idea!

I mean, just compare the 2.1 and 2.0 aosp videos; android 2.0 has much cleaner, and better transitions imo.

Design choices in 2.1 by HTC are, imo, bad as usual; the transparent notification drawer for example; what is the purpose? It's only jerky. And so on..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
I suggest suspending judgement on HTC's 2.1 until they've actually released final code! Remember this is a leaked internal build - what ends up in the final ROM may be quite different.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richbayliss:
I think I have a clearer picture now, thanks guys.

I just wish that we could be in a scenario where we could flash a standard AOSP build onto our Hero's, sans the whole SenseUI, and have a basic usable phone.

I really dont get the whole "gmail is closed source" crap with Google. I mean, I can have Gmail on WinMo, S60, etc - but only on Android IF I have a license?? WTF! Crazy! Luckily, now that Gmail does support Exchange Activesync I don't need the standalone app anyway.

So the word on the street is wait.... which I guess is what we will have to do :(

I am keen to be able to build from source so I can start on a project I have in mind. Think along the lines of SenseUI, but a bit different..... :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
Forgive me if I'm missing the point, but we already have a fully working AOSP Eclair image for the HTC Hero. I've been using it for over a week, on a daily basis and other than the looping sync issue (which we are working on) it works fantastic..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richbayliss:
I wasn't aware that all issues apart from the syncing were fixed. I thought we still had issues with camera stability etc?? Is this not the case??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
There are some minor issues with stability, but it's absolutely useable on a daily basis. I guess it would be better for you to list what your problems are or concerns, rather than making (what appears to me) to be a grand claim for concentrated work on something.

There are a number of us who are solely focused on getting AOSP Eclair working 100%.. but we're very nearly there. Having people contribute constructive information about what doesn't work would be the best.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
Believe me, I'll come back to AOSP soon with great things ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
That's an awesome news ! Thank you Lox !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richbayliss:
Thanks Lox, appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ferromax:
Great news man! Thanks a lot! Holding my breath... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
I agree. The only reason I am now using Lox_devs Hero 2.1 1.4 instead of the pure Eclair one is that Eclair does not sync my exchange calendar. I just cant see why the calendar has been left out.

Hi !

My first htc was the cruise , then I went to Touch hd and Iphone 3g .Now I want to go back to htc but what I am reading on the forum is really scary :confused:

What happend ? is it complicated for htc to deliver a phone that works without all this bugs ? camera , sms , mail , the sound ,the keyboard !!

That is everything........and no uppdate ??? I am really embarrassed . I have been waithing such a long time for winmo phone that doesent have the limitation of the Iphone . Htc should be here talking to everyone that allready bought the phone but they don't :mad:

I am disappointed and dont want waithing another year , should I just go for it ? do you think uppdates will fix the issues ?

best regards / equalness
[HD2 General] mahsu:
I think you don't need to worry about it.

No phone is perfect, it's interesting to solve all the problems of you, we can use soft or other methods

so don't hesitate now:D:D
[HD2 General] omneity:
There's nothing wrong with the HD2, it's a perfectly capable phone and leagues above previous HTC offerings as it is those phones offered by other leading phone manufacturers. It's not 100% perfect, but xda-developers is your friend. :)
[HD2 General] atomic_dude:
This phone is the perfectest there is out there :) Sure, it has some issues, but that makes it even more desirable in my eyes since I love tuning it. Problem is, when the only place you read about the HD2 is XDA you might get the wrong impression.

You want safe and boring, but still not perfect (some say far from it even), stay with the iphone.
[HD2 General] Blacked Out:
Lol i know im re-iterating what these guys have said but

Seriously half the fun of this phone is making it perfect for you. I haven't even added any contacts yet and ive had it for 2 days Lol.
[HD2 General] luffyp:
Hi. I'm also interested in getting the HTC HD2 for my upgrade. As I understand from following this forum, there are some bugs (the one that concerns me the most is the sms-not-sent bug). I haven't ordered it yet because I'm a bit worried. Do these bugs happen to every one? Or only unlucky ones? Will they be fixed in the future firmware update from HTC? Thanks.

p.s. this will be my first smart phone so I will be a noob at flashing ROMs (or whatever it's called)
[HD2 General] biggeorge007:
Got mine - Love It - Hate the Bugs

Got my HD2 2 days ago from Vodafone - Unbranded and what a real nice

device it is.

Playing a video on this is sweet with the screen so large, Manged to watch

2 films on it while working on pc no problem.

Very upset over the bugs, I have the Camera Red Tint and today a few txts I sent didn't arrive for ages, txt was working perfectly fine so could be

something I installed.

If you love messing around changing things around in Windows Mobile go for it. If you just want a phone for calls and txting grab an Iphone.

You can spend hours just going through settings, installing apps and games on this thing.

Sending mine back to Vodafone though as the camera issue is bad, Will wait till all the bugs have been ironed out, 1 or 2 months, may even get a better deal then.

George
[HD2 General] alwayslearning:
I have had many HTC phones. I have the TP2 and also the HD2 right now. I have had the HD2 for a week and I will not go back to any other phone. This phone is great. I have not had any of the issue people have talked about, ie. calendar, pink camera or sms. There is also a ROM update already for the phone from HTC that people say fixed these bugs. My wife has an iPhone, I must say it is a nice phone and works great if all you want is a phone call and a text message. This phone blows the iPhone out of the water, the screen makes it so much easier to type with big fingers, and the processor is so much faster than iPhone. I say get it, you will be glad you did.
[HD2 General] naa77:
Well I just purchased an IPhone 3GS 32 GB here in Australia, just the other day as my HD had packed it in...., I'd been wondering exactly what was goin on with the HD2 as well as I was reading some scary posts, but since there was nothing available in Australia officially, so nothing with full warranty, I decided to go the Iphone path. A week with the Iphone and I've got to say there's alot of things that dissapoint me and and a few that impress me, having to sync with Itunes was something that **** me off straight away !!, it's limited in it's browsing of the internet, no true multi tasking !!, and the way that it's locked down by apple, and if you want to customize it you have to "jailbreak" it, which can void warranty if something goes pear shape, it's just limited in many more ways !!. However If you use WM 6.5 or evan 6.1, you have way more functionality and it's alot more like walking around with a PC in your pocket !!. Something I will say that Impresses me about the Iphone is the appstore !!, the myriad of content that's available is mind-boggling !, yeh, sure there's probably alot of it is ****, though there's still alot of great software there !!, and it's well organized to !!, If only WM, could offer something like that, and is it a fair critiscism that there is apparently no official graphics drivers available from Qualcomn, for the snapdragon ??, How are WM developers meant to develope for WM, when the processor maker can not supply relevant info to help them ....??:confused::confused:
[HD2 General] tonyjansen:
I think that's quite a ridiculous answer when talking about a €500+ device (let that roll in your mind a bit longer, a €500+ device).

It has quite a few quirks and flaws that weren't nulled by the latest update, i've been using mine for 3 weeks now and i am really trying hard to get used to it, but the amount of crashes each day is quite disappointing. Luckily i got it for free by winning a contest, because i'd be mad as hell if i payed the full list price for it.

On the other hand, this device still has this enormous wow-factor. A shiny and speedy all-in communications center in a stunning form factor.
[HD2 General] equalness:
Thank you for the comments ! it really help.I will wait to see how the uppdate is doing ;-) ... and yes I like twiking but to make the phone nicer not to make the simple functions work as they should .The phone should at least behave as it says in the documentation dont you think so ?

Best regards / equalness
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Camera - a minor problem that appears under certain scenarios and is easily amended, even without HTC's planned fix. Also THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SPANS MANY MODERN SMARTPHONES!!! iPhone, Samsung, HTC, etc. etc... most phone cameras are cheap.

Mail - I know of no problems

SMS - a problem that affected a small number of users - has since been patched.

Sound - no idea. There seem a small number of people who are unhappy for some reason. Most are very happy.

Keyboard - there seems to have been a VERY small number of faulty touch screens, for the most part though this 'problem' seems to be limited to people who heard that the iPhone had something called a 'capacitivitively screen' or something, so they wanted one. They then wet their pants when they realised the differences to a resistive screen and cried a bit. Most people are VERY happy with the screen.

If you find a forum for ANY phone without complaints both genuine and pointless whining, congratulations, you've found a heavily censored manufacturer-run forum.

If you find a phone with no bugs, especially at launch, congratulations, you must have found a very basic dumbphone - there's not a single bug-free smartphone out there.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
What a laughable reply, do you work for HTC or own shares in the company? The keyboard is RUBBISH, pure and simple. It doesn't matter if you're coming from a multi-tap, QWERTY, resistive or even another capacative screen....typing on the HD2 is a truly dreadful experience. The camera I can live with, it is perfectly acceptable for a mobile phone in my opinion. The volume, distortion and cracks/pops through the earpiece and speakerphone is a DISASTER and the text problem hasn't been fixed so far as I'm aware. There is no 'patch' which perfectly addresses the text problem.

The screen? Yep, brilliant.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise that yours was the only opinion that mattered. Just because you don't have the mental or physical ability to use a keyboard, it doesn't mean that nobody else does. It is fine for me. If it was "rubbish" that would not be the case. Therefore, it is not rubbish. If there is any "rubbish" involved, I'd try looking on the other side of the glass screen.

The camera you can live with? Well whoop-de-doo. I tell you what, when I care one damn bit what some random whiner can live with, I'll drop you an SMS. And that SMS will arrive instantly since *I* do not have any such problems. Nor do I have any problems with my sound.

Perhaps you should learn that a sample size of exactly one - you - in no way scales up to the entire population (thank god!). Following the incredible debating example you have set, perhaps I should now accuse you of being a Mac shareholder?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've had my HD2 for 3 weeks now and I could not disagree more. The keyboard is GREAT, without any tweaks or aligning. As your comments, this is an opinion, not a fact.

Again, 3 weeks and not one single problem with any type of audio on my phone. This sounds like a problem with your phone.

There is a patch that works 100%.

Sounds to me like you've got your knickers in a twist. If you're unhappy, send the phone back. It sounds like it's knackered anyway.
[HD2 General] MadBastard:
:confused: where is this update ?? cannot see it anywhere :confused:
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Well how come the SMS problem thread is one of the biggest and still on the front page if there is a patch for it? Anyway, that aside, I'd pay good money to see ANYONE enter large chunks of text on the HD2 at any kind of decent speed using the on-screen keyboard....without making more errors than on any phone and any keyboard EVER made. Either you have the world's tiniest fingers, you don't text or email a lot, you will defend shoddy products to the death for some bizarre reason or you're on the HTC payroll. I've not met anyone in the flesh who can get along with the HD2 keyboard. Not one person. The only few who can seem to reside on this forum.
[HD2 General] Archer:
You're acting like an idiot. I've given you unbiased and honest opinions and you've basically insulted me and called me a liar.

I don't normally do this. In fact, I've never done it, but you're the exception. I will never ever respond to anything you write again.

I wish you luck with your phone.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
A lovely, juvenile reply there. Well done. *thumbs up*

I don't own any Apple products and never have. I also actually OWN the HD2 so I'm not some internet basher. I thought it sounded fab on paper and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. OK so perhaps the audio problems on my handset are a fault - although others have reported it too - but the keyboard is surely the same on ALL HD2s? Again, there are lots of people on this forum slating the keyboard. So those of you who claim to be able to type perfectly on it and are more than happy to live with a phone that is quite frankly bug-ridden to the point of being unusable by business professionals....just make me wonder, that's all. I imagine a group of tech-crazy teenagers who must have the latest thing, not people who rely on their phone to actually use as a workhorse. I need to be productive and the HD2 requires way too much additional work for me to be able to do that. I am quite happy to tinker and tweak apps and I do expect there to be bugs on a phone, just not MAJOR ones such as an unusable keyboard and deafening call volume.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Toys...pram...thrown.

Why can you HD2 fanboys not just accept that some people have issues with the phone? Unless everyone agrees the phone is 100% perfect you have a hissy fit.
[HD2 General] jules_ht:
Think you need to grow up/calm down a bit. I share Sunking's issues with this phone and will be sending it back. We're both free to take the position that this phone is a massive disappointment with huge shortcomings, without any abuse.
[HD2 General] hicks:
I was a little concerned how I'd get on with the on-screen keyboard, since my last two phones (kaiser and wizard) had hardware keyboards, and resistive screens.

I have been very pleasantly surprised by how quickly I can type on this after only a few days of use.

I have had no problems with SMS or sound. As mentioned, the camera issue would appear to be an unfortunately fairly common issue with current gen phone cams in general - although I have not had time to properly test for this myself.
[HD2 General] stabloid:
I'd just like to say that since receiving my HD2 a couple of days ago, I have been chuffed to bits with the way it performs.

Yes, the call volume is a tad loud, but as I sometimes work in loud environments, this is welcome after not being able to hear people on my Diamond sometimes.

I find the keyboard to be absolutely fine. In fact, I would say that I'm more than happy with it.

No issues with the camera.

SMS send fine.

No hang ups or crashes.

Internet speed is AWESOME, almost as impressive as the size of the screen. :D

The only problem I have, is when I'm at my mother's house, the signal keeps dropping if I am downstairs, but this is down to Vodafone, not the phone, as with my O2 sim, I had the best signal I've ever had.

I hope all the people out there with bugs on their HD2 manage to get them fixed, as when they work right (which mine appears to), they are an absolutely jaw dropping experience.
