sorry dont take bets I know ill lose. hell with the way HTC is being we are surely going to have 2.x build before sprint releases.

maejrep is making major progress and I think its really cool that he is telling people that if they want to donate for his work, to donate to one of the charities helping in hati
[Hero CDMA General] srkmagnus:
You can download the new RUU that coldsweat posted, look for it in one of the wiki's. It will take you back to what you phone was when purchased, no more root.

If you want to try a new ROM you can install the nandroid backup once you gained root, which you should have done when you rooted, then install the new ROM. Some ROMs or Devs say you can install right over the existing one. I'd suggest wiping the ROM then installing the new one especially if you plan on using ROMs by different Devs. I'd also suggest doing a backup after each ROM install and saving every backup on your computer, just in case. :)
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I agree. With his progress, we'll be able to drop Sprint as a support/upgrade source for good :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renarudo:
Solved?

Phone was fine with Wall Switch disabled. I had my Wallpaper to switch every 1 minute, so it's likely that with all my apps and such in the background, I simply ran out of memory.

Phone was fine all yesterday, and I enabled Wall-Switch on the commute to work, and the damn thing just rebooted on me again. I'm going to disable Wall-Switch and clear my notifications and monitor it (when I reboot, my voicemail/cyanogen notifications pop back up, so I can tell when it's been shutdown).

I'm looking for the overall best WinMo device that matches a fairly narrow set of criteria, namely:

* WinMo Pro/PPC with a touchscreen

* Full QWERTY hardware keyboard

* Bar/Blackberry style form factor (not a slider)

* Full 3G GSM/HSPA on the North American 850mhz band

The only phones I know of in the above category are:

+ Palm Treo Pro

+ I-Mate Ultimate 8502

+ HP Ipaq 910

The other one I'm aware of is the Samsung i780, but I don't believe that one has 850 mhz GSM/HSPA compatibility, so I've left it off.

Are there any others I'm missing? If not, which one provides the best overall user experience in terms of usability, stability, performance, general quality etc. The pure technical specs on all of them are reasonably close, so I'm interested in hearing anything that differentiates them on enjoyment/reliability etc, or even just any positive/negative experiences anyone's had with any one of them.

Any and all tips, recommendations and advice are freely welcomed and appreciated, thanks!

Have you seen the HTC Snap?

http://www.htc.com/www/product/snap/overview.html

EDIT: D'oh, it has no touchscreen, right?

Well, I'd say wait for the HTC Trophy: http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/06/htcs-2010-roadmap-goes-on-display/
[General Topics] charge1313:
Samsung epix? Though I heard its buggy...
[General Topics] paleozord:
Yah, WinMo Standard edition rather than Professional. Actually the touchscreen isn't so important in itself as much as having PocketPC version of WM for software. PPC apps aren't compatible with WM Standard are they? Different OS'es with no cross-compatibility? I have a whole bunch of software from previous PPC devices that I want to be able to install, and Smartphone/Standard apps aren't as plentiful, unless I'm completely misunderstanding the difference between the two platforms.. (which is possible)..
[General Topics] cmstackar:
Same OS, just one has touchscreen support, the other doesn't. Most apps still work, although some may be hard to use or have no way to control them. One plus size is that wm standard is usually faster
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mccallum:
Hi, ive tryed using the stock bootscreen update.zip, and it installs but it still doesnt get rid of the orange logo..

ive had a look in the system/media/bootscreen folder and its not got the orange logo in it...but then i found in the system/media folder that there is bootscreen files :

boot_bg.gif

boot.gif

boot2.gif

Orange.gif

boot.mp3

boot_animation.xml

so im guessing my hero isnt using the system/media/bootscreen folder for the bootscreen..and orange has changed it to just system/media..

so anyways what im looking for is someone with the knowledge of signing update.gifs to create one for me using the system/media folder instead of the system/media/bootscreen folder

or even help on how to make it myself?

thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pulser_g2:
Sounds like you'll need to flash the SPL as that's where that logo is stored IIRC.

See http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/296389/24-nov-unlocked-spl-for-gsm-hero/ for GSM HERO ONLY!!

Be careful, as this can brick your phone if not done correctly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
you're talking about the splashscreen, not the bootscreen. as stated the splashscreen can only be changed through the hacked spl.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mccallum:
ok so what your saying is that orange has disabled the bootscreen. and only the splashscreen is shown. so no matter what bootscreen updates i do they wont work untill the splashscreen is changed?

i just dont know why they would use the same files one folder above the correct location.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pulser_g2:
Not quite. They are 2 separate things.

I've got a T-Mobile G2 (Hero branded by T-Mobile). I get a T-Mobile splash screen, then an HTC bootscreen (with the little 'android guys' popping their heads up). I could remove the T-Mobile one by flashing the SPL, and I can change the HTC one using those bootscreen files you mentioned.

See http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/296389/24-nov-unlocked-spl-for-gsm-hero/ again for more info...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mccallum:
Well the orange branded one i have is different from your t-mobile one.. because as ive stated in the 1st post

i have tryed changing the bootscreen to something else just tryed ( Nexus One/ showthread.php?t=605188) and it doesnt change at all it just stays with the orange logo then hero then htc.

So on my Orange Hero they must have changed the bootscreen directory to just system/media/ and NOT system/media/bootscreen.

in my system/media/bootscreen/boot_animation.xml is

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot1.gif"
image2="/system/media/bootscreen/boot2.gif"
loopimage="/system/media/bootscreen/boot2.gif"
image_bg="/system/media/bootscreen/boot_bg.gif"
audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
screenX="0"
screenY="90"
useAudio="0"
/>
</BootConfiguration>

which is correct after installing the Nexus bootscreen update i also checked the images they are correct too.

but in the system/media/boot_animation.xml is

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/Orange.gif"
image2="/system/media/boot_bg.gif"
image3="/system/media/boot.gif"
loopimage="/system/media/boot2.gif"
image_bg="/system/media/boot_bg.gif"
audio="/system/media/boot.mp3"
screenX="10"
screenY="180"
useAudio="1"
/>
</BootConfiguration>

as you can see this is the one thats still active because its still got the Orange.gif

... is there anyway that i could make the bootscreen update.zip use that folder instead.. so i can change that boot_animation.xml..
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] downbringer:
strange first orange hero to have a splashscreen, orange only implimented a bootscreen, this is the first I've heard of an orange splashscreen, when did you buy your phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
I too have a UK Orange phone with the latest Orange ROM and I have never seen an Orange splashscreen - it is all HTC and android. Have you got the latest official Orange ROM from the HTC site?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mccallum:
i bought it ... last summer july or august i think.. its still got the original rom from its release 1.5 with build 1.76.61.3 146733 CL#46012 Release Keys.

it must be one of the 1st ones because i managed to unlock it with the code.. my friend has a hero from the same shop a month or two later and it wont unlock.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
Try flashing the latest Orange Rom, which can be dowloaded from HTC's website here. It is version 2.73.61.5. HTC provide full instructions and it won't affect your warranty.

That is the ROM I have and, as I say, it has no Orange branding as far as i can see, other than a few bookmarks on the browser. But it is difficult to unlock - but that should not be a problem to you I guess as yours in now unlocked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mccallum:
ok just an update.. i have managed to remove the orange bootscreen... Which WAS a bootscreen NOT a Splashscreen that someone with G2 said it was.. Orange must not be as smart with andriod unlike t-mobile.

and i never used the Hacked SPL

Heres how i did it.. using the system recovery (cyanogen mod v1.4+JF) i installed and update.zip version of the Stock HTC Generic 2.73.405.66 Rooted ROM from (android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291942/22-jan-stock-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/)

after this finished ive got a HTC Hero from orange without the branding and also updated a bit...

hope this helps

Hey boys and girls,

I am currently running cursorsense 1.0 and i would like to use my own language (romanian) with this nice rom. I have tried customlocale.apk but the app only translates a few icons and widgets.

Coud i edit a language and translate it in romanian? for example the spanish language. What files should i edit and translate in order to have a fully translated hero rom?

I would really apreciate if someone could give me any info on how to do this.

Thank you.

I want to get a Magic, but I am on Telus, in Canada.

I know that when I was on their CDMA network with my Touch Diamond, I had to be careful which ROMS I falshed, and that they were compatible with my network and such.

Is it the same case for the Magic and a HSPA network that actually uses a SIM card?

You can just keep track of the MB count at the bottom of the screen of the tethering program.

Been tethering for a couple of years with no issue. I never could get internet sharing to work to WiFi router then ps3 though. for a while, I had Bluetooth modem. setup, so blackberry would auto connect when at the house. With WiFi tether though, BAMMM. I play socom with it, and watch Justin tv; its sick I tell you. Sick
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Every website carries a different ammount of data, some websites are less than 1 MB or 1/1000 (ok, so 1/1024) of a GB. Some are far more than that especailly with animations and flash. Streaming Audio and Video eat up big chunks.

You can go into Device Self Maintenance on your phone and it has an option to show data usage. I think some ROM's remove it though. And I think that because my phone is the primary line I have options that my wife's hero doesn't. Bill pay and what not.

Then again, Fresh ROM 1.1 doesn't have it in there and I have no clue what to tell you to select to find it. You could also log into Sprint.com and look at your bill, it has current data usage.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] surrealbliss:
I too am happy to see the 10GB+ post. I've been tethering for over a year, first with windows mobile, and now with wifi-tether. On windows mobile things always went slow most of the time, so I never passed up 5 gigs in a month. Now that I have the hero, I've been using it a lot more since it is my primary source of internet. It goes really fast and I love it. I'm happy that now I don't have to worry quite so much about the usage. I don't see myself hitting the 10gb mark any time soon. ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dagrim1:
Hi all, I suddenly have problems flashing roms and installing cabs...

This is the case with Dutty's rom, kumars rom and a few others (topix). They install fine but after installing my applications and restoring my pim data it hangs in the white boot screen (with the HTC text and red info about rom, radio and such in the bottom left).

Even after hard resetting this seems to be the case. It boots sometimes normally, sometimes it hangs on the orange windows screen, but in the end after setting up most of the stuff hanging on the white screen again. I haven't changed any cabs since my previous roms. Could apps be the cause of these issues?

Have flashed tons of roms already, mostly SSPL and since a day or 2 I installed HSPL to do the flashing. Could that have anything to do with it? Have been using this phone for a month and a half I think without any problems.

Going to flash one last time for tonight (work calling again in a few hrs :/) and only restore pim data to see how that goes...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tictac0566:
Maybe your card is kind of "critical", making the flash kind of bad?

Didn´t have any issues with either Dutty´s, nor with topix...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dagrim1:
Hmmm, my card? I flash from the pc... No card is used, also flashed the last time without sd card in it.

I also have flashed topix and dutys before and had no problems at all, I suddenly got issues after flashing Kumars rom (not blaming it! Plenty of ppl very happy with it!) and after that the same with others...

Meh, waiting for the sms-hotfix to finish installing now. Just finished flashing again and restoring data (and installing a few cabs). Hopefully I can actually start using it again, at least until the weekend.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I think what he means is try to reformat your card. Even though you flash with PC some of the newer HTC Sense with Documents tab write and read data from the storage card. If it is corrupted or bad it can cause a lot of problems.

I have had this happen twice in the past and the format cleared the problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dagrim1:
Ah ok, haven't installed the versions with the document tab though but worth a try I guess.

Otherwise I'll reflash the Turkish 1.61 WWE (or was it the t-mobile 2.01 version) rom again and reflash roms from there. Perhaps I'll flash with the SSPL again to see if that makes a difference.

Phone still working for now, hardly installed anything and just restored pim data. Guess I'll leave it like that for now :/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dagrim1:
Hmmm, I now flashed a firmware using the SD card method and that seems to have worked fine... Hope it's fixed now.
