if you had apps2sd then it is not implemented in this rom, so your phone can't see the ext partition. if you didn't have it before your apps were deleted during the flashing of this rom AFAIK.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iRobert:
Ah OK :-D Oh well, next time I´ll do better I hope lol. WLAN works btw :-P Super ROM (yeah I told u few times now lol).

BB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
Correct,

Been trying a few things in other areas but is there anything anyone would like added to this?

I did try making it a now wipe, which did work from a HTC rom but not a MoDaCo rom.

For market problems (if there is any) then do the following

adb remount
adb pull /system/build.prop dir on PC

Change ro.build.fingerprint to
htc_wwe/htc_hero/hero/hero:1.5/2.73.405.5/61267:user/release-keys
Save

then
adb push location_of_build.prop /system/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Hey, DanH48. I've settled on that .66 ROM. Best 1.5 ROM out there in my opinion.

I can think of some stuff you could add to this ROM, like adding busybox and such, but it looks like Paul at MoDaCo is doing that, taking this .66 ROM and adding stuff to it. So, whatever.

Can't wait for the Nexus dumps to start coming in... On the Hero 2.1 stuff...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
Well now the Nexus has been released we should have 2.1 for the Hero soon. 2.1 was never going to be released before google had exclusivity on hardware with their own name on it!

I was give it a couple of weeks then see if anything sufaces.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
Is there a way to edit build.prop file, in order to install apk's that supports 1.6/2.0 etc ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
But if the application was built specifically for 1.6/2.0, it will crash because the framework is no supported on 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
Hik@Ry has done it in his tweaked 1.5 ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=580339
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
If, for any reason, the app is using some function or library only made for 1.6/20./2.1, how do you expect that app to run on your 1.5 if it doesn't have the required libraries or framework support?

This is common sense... Otherwise, what would be the point in releasing new Android versions if everything just works in previous versions? Makes no sense to me.

That tweak will probably only help if the app developer has made an app which is actually

fully compatible with 1.5

but for some reason he forgot to flag it as such.

Besides, that ROM seems to be based on 2.1 and not 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ckhero:
One noob question:

I flashed the test release from the other thread and I cannot install the htc widget (rosie) from market is this because of test signing?

If it is that, can I find the unrooted version of this release signed?

As far as I understood the links provided in this thread all are rooted?

hi.

i got HTC hero; 1.5 . 1.76.405.6

if i just want to upgrade to RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_release_signed_No Driver

what should i do ? root my hero ? recovery ? spl ? or what ? just plug usb and run exe ?

and how update radio too ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CriseX:
By running the stock RUU, ie. the exe, it will update everything for you but be warned if you choose that path you'll be stuck with the HTC stock updates for good (well unless you downgrade but that is not exactly a simple process).

Basically if you need to (or want to) flash community made custom roms on your hero you'll need to go the harder way (the basics are covered in countless topics and websites). Be weary of flashing the spl or the radio though. Because if something goes wrong with those two you'll have a useless phone in your hands.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SE-Naz:
Hello People...

Im new to Android and need some advice...

I have a HTC Hero with information:-

This came standard... with no changes done to it... I am having reception issues with 3G... near work... Where other phones have no issues...

Baseband

63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

Kernal

2.6.27-430d1aea

Build No:

2.73.405.66 CL#83173 test-keys

I have tried the 1-click root and it does not work... It gives me backup error...

I am in the process of making a gold card... hopefully will finish it in the evening...

I want to know what is the best way to move forward... ideally want to keep a stock rom... prefer latest and would like it to be rooted...

I was thinking to:

downgarde to offical HTC rom

then root or instead update with a rooted ROM from this place...

Please advise...

Thanks for assistance...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
The phone wouldnt come standard with a test rom.

Have you tried booting into recovery (home + power). It might already have a custom recovery on there.

Also as you are running a 405 rom is your phone network unlocked?

If the answer is yes then download the 2.73.405.5 RUU and flash that, then using flashrec will work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SE-Naz:
The phone is SIMFREE so therefore unlocked...

That is what it says on the phone...

The person I purchased it off... says he never did anything with the handset... I was surprised it said Test Rom...

So let me try what you have suggested... and I will get back to you...

EDIT:-

Just tried home and power and I get a big triange with an orange ! and a phone next to it...

What is the best thing to try...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SE-Naz:
Got it sorted... Thankfully... I updated the WWE 2.73 then used flashrec and all worked out well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dryspuri:
hi DanH48, i am still waiting that u make that a2sd work on this rom

afaik paid apps or protected apps issue can be solved if u flash jhwhites aosp 2.0.1 login ur google account, then reflash 1.5 or this rom u will see all apps. i have done that & can confirm that this works. but i am still waiting so that i have generic htc rom with only a2sd on it..

many thanks man in advance!!:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
I have been realy busy lately and havnt spent much time messing with android. Next few weeks I will have more time, I have the rom built but just need to test it before releasing it.

I will also sort the paid apps out at the same time.
[HD2 General] rphillip:
We have a few HD2's in the office and just playing around with all the apps. The compass seems to be either plain wrong or flaky at best. Mind you we are in a building so that is unlikely to help.

Just wondered if someone has test it's accuracy.
[HD2 General] kholk:
It's accurate.

But remember that electrostaticity will make your sensor to not work accurately!
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
Tried it

in several places, and even after re-calibration.

was off by up to 90 degrees.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
It can be .. in car for example. But in on outside, no way. The error should be in degrees.

Electronic compasses tend to be very sensitive to any metal around, so watch out. But generally HD2 compass should work very, very well.

Here is video how to calibrate:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o

I recommend doing it a bit slower. But this move. I totally didn't get it from the HTC description.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
That's totally different from how I tried to calibrate it!

Any idea how I can recalibrate it? It's showing something crazy here...
[HD2 General] suicidal.banana:
for me it asks for calib every time i start it, maybe a soft reset?

But ye, i also did a way different calibration at first (bscly drawing a figure 8 in the air as if the bottom of the device was a pen) but doing the one shown in vid its now spot on compared to a analog compass, thx for the tip!
[HD2 General] stento:
hey there,

is there a way to get the startmenu in iphone-style, so that there's not that ugly honeycomb-style in every menu?

important for the .cab is, that it changes every menu to the new, so also the "more" at settings, subfolders and so on.

tried several searchs at this forum, but got no results, only how to change the amount of columns.

thanks in advance.

s
[HD2 General] danjohnson19855:
for the hd they used to have a guy called tom cordan who made a cool start menu app dunno if hes done it for the hd2
[HD2 General] Enonoid:
please no offence !!

But it you want something that looks like and Iphone.... Maybe you should get the real thing.
[HD2 General] ivo34:
Sorry but I think you bought the wrong phone:o
[HD2 General] jjjacksonjjj:
Come on guys this "just go buy an iPhone" response is a lazy, unfriendly response that seems to crop up on here as soon as anyone mentions an iPhone.

I have a HD2 and love it, but you can't deny that the iPhone OS has some clear advantages (in terms of style and use) over WM, and until we get WM7 what is wrong with asking if customisations are possible to make things more iPhone like?

Just because I might want a better interface or more stylish apps doesn't mean that I have forgotten the benefits that WM has over the iPhone in other areas, which is (for most of us) why we have the HD2 and not the iPhone
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
Agree 100%.

I couldn't stand the honeycomb program list when I tried it on my Diamond - much preferred the original layout. Don't think I ever said "Oh well, Iphone for me then...!"

Google "Numpty" ;)
[HD2 General] Benz-Driver:
I don't like the honeycomb, too. But I also don't like an iPhone. I just want the icons to be side by side.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
As much as I have distaste for his quest to make the HD2 look iPhone-esque, I can understand his aversion to the terrible locked-down/-in operating system, and subpar hardware.

: )
[HD2 General] NeilM:
A good way to replace the default Start screen and add the ability to define 2 Favourites screens as well as accessing Programs and Settings is to use Panoramic Launchpad . Costs $4 and worth every penny :)
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
I've never seen that app before (and I'm seen them all!) but that is very neat indeed! Will give that a go for sure, even though I'm "non-honeycomb" on my Diamond! And for only $4, it would be rude not too!

Cheers for the heads up. :)
[HD2 General] Enonoid:
Guys.. really i wasnt being lazy neither unfriendly.

I was giving my opinion on this matter.

Have to say i am A happy HD2 owner. and i do appriciate some aspects of the Iphone. And the community.

But (little bit off topic) remember the time when there was this program callled STYLEXP.

Where you coud re style every aspect of windows.

So you had your pentium II running windows 98 and you could not tell it it was OSX or something.

The red nissan in front of you on the road. small thing. has a 1.6 engine. But its bumper stickers tells you its a V16.

The girl who goes out shopping, but she is on a tight buget. so she goes shopping in her favorite budget store. as soon as she leaves the shop, she trades the bag of the bugdget shop for a bag from tiffanies.

Again i am sorry if i offended anyone not my intention.

But I would love to make the HD2 even more usefull. But i dont like the idea to make it look like some other phone be it iphone or a samsung or whatever.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
I not blaming modaco but i dont know which step i dont wrong.

i using flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk & recovery-RA-hero-v1.3.2.img

after i done a nandroid backup & partition sdcard to ext4, i start to flash the modaco 3.0. after success flashing i reboot my hero. At 1st i tot 1st time reboot new rom sure delay some times... but i waiting 30mins is still keep on show the reboot startup again & again.

Can someone help me solve it?

Im using a kingston 8gb class4 sdhc card. My hero was asia GSM Hero:

Singapore Singtel GSM Hero:

Firmware version: 1.5

Kernel version: 2.6.27-44690c1a

Build number: 2.73.707.9

Software version: 1.0.0.A6288

As for tis version others cant root nor flash custom rom but i can, & it suceed! everything was ok but i really dont know where gone wrong. & now my hero still keep on rebooting... i afraid i need to remove my battery to stop it soon..

I just found out that i accidentally delete off my nandroid backup file... now i can go back to original stats...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
go into recovery image, wipe data, wipe dalvik-cache, reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
thanks kendong2 thanks alot... but my hero still keep on rebooting...

& does it mean my Hero cant use custom rom at all?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itpromike:
So you rooted your phone and made a gold card and all?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
i did root my hero but no gold card is make. after i follow kendong2 step it still keep reboot but i try remove battery again & this time it show to a new start up to config my gmail all etc.. & now it shown:

Build number:

MoDaCo Custom ROM 3.0 Core, SSH

password: ****** ( dont know can show so put *)

Am i done? was it really modaco 3.0 that i suceed? So i cant go back to my previous rom as i deleted off the nandroid backup?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
congratulations, you installed mcr3.0. you were right about not showing your password.

the first boot after the wipe wasn't constant rebooting, you just didn't wait long enough. the first boot of mcr3.0 takes a few minutes, this behaviour is normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
thanks kendong2 again... but it not fews mins xD is almost half an hour but it all done =D thanks to modaco too =) thanks to unlockr too & to xda too thanks to everyone i got a modaco custom rom without gold card thanks thanks thanks =DDD

I used to keep my Kaiser tilted open on my desk next to my computer monitor at work with the display off. Seems you can't do this with the Rhodium. Any cabs out there that will allow me to turn off the screen with the slide open?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Coderedpl:
You mean the phone being in sleep mode?

I just slid mine out and tilted it and pushed the power button to shut the display and it did.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EVOIXGSR:
It turns off when it is not plugged in, but I have my Tilt plugged in at work, and tilted up so I can see it, ad it will not turn off, only dim and lock.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Coderedpl:
Go to your power settings and adjust settings there ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EVOIXGSR:
I did, adn nothing happens. When on external Power: "Dim display after 5 mins" "Turn off power after 10 mins"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Coderedpl:
Might be silly but make sure you click "ok" on top right. Try soft reset maybe?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lacrossev:
I have not had this particular issue on my rhodium but when i was using my tp1 i sometimes had to check the boxes, click ok, then go in and uncheck the boxes, click ok, then go in again and recheck them and hit ok again or the settings wouldn't stick, give that a try and see if it'll work. If you have any other backlight control software chances are it overrides the built in power management also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jmbneaf:
To disable keyboard opening from powering on/waking phone

Add this key to your registry under:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]

"SlideWakeup"=dword:0

Be sure to soft reset after making the edit.

Works on my AT&T Tilt 2 like a charm

PS: this also allows me to slide the keyboard, then power on the TP2 and/or with on then slide open and power off either way

Anyone else got the official HTC Hero Cradle?

Mine just arrived and whilst it looks good there are a few faults..

It collects fingerprints like mad, and the bigger problem.. because of the chin on the hero it stands too straight upright.. it needs to be laid back a little more to make it easier to read if its in front of you on a desk.

It wouldn't be a problem on any phone thats straight (the cradle is universal and can have little adapters fitted for a few different HTC models).. but because of the curve of the chin the usb socket points at a weird angle.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] DizzyWeb:
I've got the cradle. It does collect fingerprints like mad, but the angle doesn't bother me at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] SimplySquare:
the angle doesnt bother me. trying to get it out of the cradle bothers me. seems so difficult to pull out or even put in for that matter. will this ease up the more i use it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] amc0:
Yes it will.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Dac0908:
must say I'm pretty dissapointed with accessories for Hero. Official cradle seems to expensive, and to find cheaper one that has audio output on it? asking too much.

http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-AC-Dual-Bat...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item414c23acfb

looks like this can be it. but, can any cradle be used if the phone is in "soft silicon gel case cover" ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] bunt83:
I bought that cradle and it's a piece of sh*t!

It's huge and doesn't even charge the phone sometimes. Stay away!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] wywywywy:
I had one of these for another HTC phone (I can't even remember which now) and you need to have DC5V and USB both connected to reliably charge. And come on it's not that big :)

As for the official cradle, yes it is pretty expensive but it is very well made and don't forget it is universal - so you can just replace the adapter when you change to another HTC phone, ala iPod docks. Don't think it fits the Nexus One though? Or maybe just not yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Dac0908:
ok thanx

I thought that it would be an easy thing to find. and cheap. but it's not really, looking at iSomething accessories, well... it's very hard to compare. There is iEverythingYouCanThinkOf, but only one or two models of HTC compatible docks with audio output. that's sad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] sambartle:
As long as the dock has a proper HTC ExtUSB connector on it and not just mini-usb you can get audio out easily from any of them.

Grab an Ext USB 3-in-1 Splitter from ebay (They look like this: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=57219&d=1194430021)

And plug into the dock.. thats what I did when I was using my kaiser dock before I bought the official one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Dac0908:
yes that was my plan :)

but noone said anything about docking a Hero with silicon gel protection on it? it's only about 2mm thick but will it fit? hmm...
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Dac0908:
hello, anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Lucaryholt:
I think that it does support audio out. See this: http://www.mtpdata.dk/htc/htc-hero/cradle-dockingstation-til-htc-hero-med-pladsslot.html the website is danish but look at the pictures.

when setting up a new email account, its there on the outgoing (SMTP) mail server page.

near the bottom, click "Advanced server settings"

if you want to access it after you have setup the account, click on the e-mail icon in the start menu and then you see your list of email accounts, click menu, options, then click the account and click "Edit the account setup" and "next" through to the outgoing server page again.
