[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Yes, we will get Nexus version.

Simply put, Nexus is pretty much standard 2.1 Android.

so far, people like Lox have been working on getting version 2.0 & 2.01 running on the Hero, but now that 2.1 SDK has been released they will start working on that. But it will help when HTC release the source code for their own 2.1 version as that will give them all the drivers etc they need.

The only thing I can see causing problems are the live wallpapers, but I believe that people are getting these to run on the G1 so you never know what is possible.

I've been running 2.0.1 software with all the latest gallery,navigation etc apps for a while now so expect 2.1 versions soon.

PS I installed the Expresso version on my phone and uninstalled straight away. Reminds me way too much of HTC's Windows Mobile software !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
and where did you read that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Two points!

1. The 2.1 SDK is *not* the source code for Android 2.1. The the tools and libraries required to build Android 2.1 applications, not the OS itself. As far as I'm aware, the 2.1 OS code has not been dropped into the AOSP (Android Open Source Project).

2. HTC are only required to release the source code to the kernel as this is licensed under the GPL, though this will contain the hardware drivers. HTC's version of 2.1 itself does not ever need to be released as the Android source code is licensed under the ASL which is not a copyleft license.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
yeah, i wouldn't be so sure about that. the kernel sources for the g1 kernel .29 are out, doesn't help a tiny bit for the hero so far...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olafos:
You are right of course... if they release an upgrade to 2.1 it's logical that they develop and use that for the Espresso. So I guess it will be the same as the Espresso ROM. I just hope that the Espresso ROM won't look like the leaks.

While you can't argue about taste... you have to admit, that the UI looks (stylewise) quite different to the original Sense UI. Usually I wouldn't mind change. Just take Apple's UI, or Google's UI on the web as well as in Android releases. They usually stay the same, sometimes adding more colors, using gradients, etc. and you still recognize the original style. It usually takes very long until a system has changed so much that you can't recognize it's origins. Take the difference between XP and Vista. Was quite huge. Now the difference between XP and Win7 was minimal (stylewise).

Now, in the leaked Espresso rom I can't recognize the old SenseUI at all, except for the widgets, which can be removed / customized anyway and are not the main concern of HTC's developers right now.

Well, in case it looks to my disliking:

I know, that Sense UI as a whole is not just a plugin but the visually relevant parts (home screen, lock screen, mesages app, mail app, contacts app etc.) are mainly applications, right? (Well, the designs for menu lists, like in "settings" are not apps I guess, but they don't bother me as they look the same in the current UI version) How hard do you think would it be to extract the old apps and replace their counterparts in the new ROM?

This could maybe even be done without rooting, like it's possible for the lock screen and home screen. I dunno about replacing the Standard htc apps though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sir_Oliver:
Look here - http://www.androidcentral.com/rumors-say-european-htc-hero-get-android-21-february
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olafos:
Well the rumor that it's going to be released in February... come one... HTC said it will release in 1Q2010 which leaves January to March. February is right in the middle so they just say February.

That alone, ok, but what about the list of features. It seems to be put together from previous rumors and leaked ROMs noone even knows of whether they apply to the Hero update.

I'd take such a rumor, originally from some obscure Polish website (not to say anything against Poland, but it's a local website and the rumor hasn't surfaced from a more global site anywhere else), with a (huge) grain of salt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
I'm with Olafos here. I've now tried a 2.0 and 2.1 ROM, but come back to MCR3.1 within a few hours. It's not even all totally about visuals, as I think had been mentioned. The contacts widget, giving me my favourite contacts on my homescreen is used a lot by me. The group text is used quite a bit too.

The contacts, messages and other things just don't look very nice on standard 2.1. When the Bravo comes out (or before) with 2.1 have these cool Sense UI additions?

How much different will the Nexus One be to what 2.1 on my Hero looks like? Right now it's totally put me off upgrading. I really want a bigger screen and snapdragon CPU, but I would miss the amazing UI and funcitonality of my Hero on 1.5 with Sense UI :-/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
ok, point taken ;)

i have no idea about backward compatibility of the android system... just try it with one of the 2.0 roms? i'd bet on foobar if you mix 1.5 sense parts with 2.x, but don't let that stop you from romcooking ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olafos:
I just realized I said:

"Now the difference between XP and Win7 was minimal (stylewise). "

Of course I meant Vista and Win7 :)

Ich will nicht wirklich eigene Roms machen...mir fehlt leider die Zeit. Hoechstes der Gefuehle waere evtl. zu rooten und zu schauen was läuft :P

I think Android apps are backwards compatible, not so sure about the HTC Sense UI integrated ones though.

Hello,

I am looking for a general purpose alarm app for the kaiser. An app that would basically let me put custom alarm on in mp3 format. If anyone has one in mind let me know. Links to the downloaded will be appreciated. THNX:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
galarm attached it's not the newest but is free version and works ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GLO:
vote for Phone Alarm! This isnt free, but its feature packed!:D
[General Questions and Answers] fight3r:
Hello lads... I am new here and i have a hard time figuring out what to do...

Here it goes.. I bough an Iphone clone almost 1 year ago and i want to flash it.. the problem is that i only know its brand (its a Daxian x999+) and it has WM..

I dont know what tolls to use and furthermore wich OS is compatible... any help will be great
[General Questions and Answers] skwig43:
After a quick flick through the forums I'd say you wouldn't have much luck here, particularly as the main focus is HTC Phones. I don't know how compatible the hardware on your phone would be with anything manufactured by HTC. You could always try searching the forums with "Daxian" and see what you can turn up, there seemed to be a little bit of discussion but no real solutions.

Best of luck.

I doubt very much, in fact im pretty sure, that you wont find any roms that will work with your device im afraid, your best friend here is google......
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] G1_enthusiast:
hey guys i am currently using energy rom build 28011 i need to disable touch flow in order to work on the weather database however i cant find that option, i know everyone says go to setting/today/... medthod but it doesnt have that option in there, so is there another way to disable touch flo 3d
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zelendel:
Could try using an advanced taskmanager like Dotfred's and forcing manila.exe to end. Have not tried this myself but it should work. It is odd that it is not on the items tab in settings\today. I would drop a line in the rom's thread
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
You mean Settings/Home/Items? You looked there and there wasn't something called "Sense" that was checked, perhaps?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] G1_enthusiast:
i dint know that was an "touch flo 3d" anyway whatever i did the weather work now, thanks guys.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Yes -- Touchflo3d or Manila or Sense -- all describing the same thing...though there are different flavors.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] breakyourface:
Hello, my old at&t tilt was broken so I decided to pick up a new fancy htc fuze, everything worked fine execpt I cannot send or receive any sms messages. I've gone through loads of troubleshooting to no avail, maybe some of you knew of a patch or hotfix that could fix this problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] breakyourface:
Nevermind a hard reset fixed it. This is a great phone I'm very happy with it compaired to my last ****ty one.

Hello!

I would like to program a "task switcher". For that, i got all the running apps with this command:

Code:

List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> allTasks = activityManager.getRunningTasks(30);

So that's nice, i can kill every one of them i want with the ID, but i cannot understant how to launch one of the.

I tried the startactivity, but i need an intent, i am not able to figure how to create the intent...

Could you please help me?

Thank a lot.
[Nexus One Accessories] Ssantos6981:
I keep getting shocked with my headphones. anyone having the problem? It seems to happen when I am charging and listening to the phone.
[Nexus One Accessories] melterx12:
LOL??? :eek: I would call HTC for a replacement if I were you!
[Nexus One Accessories] Ssantos6981:
anyone know a domestic HTC number that works? I haven't searched, and I'm sure it won't be hard to find, but if someone knows of the number off hand, it would be helpful. Thanks
[Nexus One Accessories] iVisionX01:
Interesting I haven't had that problem at all. Does it do that with other earbuds? Could be the phone.
[Nexus One Accessories] sepffuzzball:
I would totally just try a different set of earbuds or headphones...

And not worry about getting a replacement from HTC. Maybe let them know of the problem, but a pair of crappy replacement buds to replace crappy earbuds definitely don't sound like a good idea to me, may as well upgrade them.
[Nexus One Accessories] Ssantos6981:
I don't get shocked with my bose earphones, but I like the music control. Guess I won't earphone when the phone is plugged in.
[Nexus One Accessories] xManMythLegend:
Those aren't headphones those are the HTC taser rods.Once people realize how much your phone costs you're going to need them.

Next time read the manual.
[Nexus One Accessories] RussianSolja:
Lmao. I wish my phone came with a user manual on how to use my taser rods. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] neilosb:
I don;t know how you guys are getting these earphones in your ears, they're huge
[Nexus One Accessories] mgorman:
Mine sound like the speakers are blown out. It rattles when there's bass.
[Nexus One Accessories] midnite23:
My friend was listening to one earbud and I the other. She jumped and complained of getting shocked but I felt nothing. Later that night at work I had them in and got shocked after a while as well.
[Nexus One Accessories] PredatorX14:
yea, i get shocked too when i am listening with the headphones but only on the right ear bud and not the left. but when i hold the line it seems to ground it and i dont get shocked anymore

just a little annoying when it happens
[Nexus One Accessories] Tommy0815:
you also could use it as a mobile defibrillator ;-)
[Nexus One Accessories] cottinghamm:
Why bother, these must be the worst headphones ever. I have gone back to my SE ones that came with the Xperia X1
[Nexus One Accessories] Ssantos6981:
but they have the music control! I have the bose ear buds, but I love the music controllers!
[Nexus One Accessories] britoso:
Agreed, They are quite painful to use. I use either my Koss sparkplug, or Sony in-ear earbuds. These help with the audio/video/youtube media with low volume too.
[Nexus One Accessories] JHaste:
LOL i was like wtf, when first got shocked! it does it all the time, only in the right bud though, never the left...
[Nexus One Accessories] dabido:
Sick earphones

awkward.... i find the stock earphones fine! ^_^ tested on phone and on good sound card. bass is fine for stock. and no distortion at high volume! ( thats also tested with the phone and soundcard from laptop). Fits like a glove should fit. Lovin it. as to getting shocked lmao.... I've yet to wait and feel. :D
[Nexus One Accessories] Ssantos6981:
My heaphones sound great as well. I called HTC and they know about the problem but supposedly they don't have any replacements yet, that I should try again at another date to see if there is a replacement. I kept the number, its not found on their website so I figured I will bother them again one day.

Have you tried having the phone plugged in while you listen to the music? works like a charm for me...a sadistic charm....
[Nexus One Accessories] oldmanwinter:
I was getting shocked for a while before realizing that it all depended on where I placed my phone while using the headphones. When they were in my gym pants/shorts they would shock me due to the static electricity. I haven't had any problems with jeans, etc. I think polyester is the culprit.
[Nexus One Accessories] pr0cl1v1ty:
my headphones were in my computer just now and the left ear shocked the HELL out of me... wow i remember reading this thread awhile back saying wow that must suck...jinx i guess.... anyways its never happend while plugged into my phone. *knock on wood*
[Nexus One Accessories] anthro:
I think I was just shocked on the right ear. I have the pad thing (the black cover that comes with it). on the earphones so it's not so bad. It's still such a hassle if it happens, though
[Nexus One Accessories] r0adki111:
Call the tmobile customer care (if you use them) say you want Technical Support and that you have a Nexus One. They will then xfer you to HTC. I know because I did this. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] Ssantos6981:
Just got my new headphones..

They are the same as the old ones, but minus the shock. I guess they fixed it.

If anyone is having trouble with their headphones call 888-216-4736. It is the technical support number from the htc webpage. Tell them that you emailed google or HTC (I said HTC, but it was actually google that responded to me) regarding the defective headphones and that you were given this number so that you can request a ticket number. Without the number, you won't get the replacement.

Make sure you have all the original information (I.E. phone number used to get the phone, account name, address shipped to, etc... I got mine from a co-worker so luckily he was around to give me the info) and I got my headphones in about 2 weeks.

Using them for 2 hours already, while charging, and not one electrical shock. Outstanding!
[Nexus One Accessories] babijoee:
Haven't experienced this yet. :p

hopefully never do. i use my SE headphones most of the time but i really need the controls on the headphone :(
[Nexus One Accessories] stewart1988:
Just opened mine to try and see if I could get a shock and yer seems to depends on what your wearing. Put in jeans pocket and was fine but tried in a old polyester jacket and it shocked me and was pretty lethal lol!

But bloody hell they are really crap! I'd rather use the ****ty iPhone headphones instead of these! Sound like them crappy headphones you get in the £1 shop lol
[Nexus One Accessories] stewart1988:
Why don't the controls work? Just tried my Beats with the in-line remote lead and pause/play and next track works.
[Nexus One Accessories] spidermonkeyrob:
The stock headphones are garbage for the gym. I resorted to using my stock Xperia X1 headphones, but only one ear would work with my Nexus One :(

Bought a pair of HBH-IS800s and they stay in my ears real well, but they could stand to be a bit louder. Excellent for the gym, though.
[Nexus One Accessories] Jodsfk421:
I'm definately having this issue. I listen to Pandora/Slacker/Iheartradio all day long at work and the shock is getting worse and worse as the time goes it. It started as a very very very mild sizzling sound followed by a pop. Now it's a literal ZAP to the inside of your ear that hurts enough to yank the headphones out just from pure shock (as the "static" increaded the warning sizzle went away).

I have an HTC Incredible with CM7. I've used 6 different pairs of Skullcandy headphones. At first I thought it was the "mic" control because I had issues with that for some reason :confused: but it wasn't the cause. (Hence why I have so many headphones).

Also, only with IN ear headphones.

My colleague just went from Iphone4 (on At&t) to Htc Amaze on T-mo and has the same issues on both phones...

This issue ONLY happens when charging (doesn't matter status of battery)

Yes, the simple fix is, don't charge while your listening but then when I leave work I have a dead battery and streaming isn't allowed at work...

So I deal with it... Bzzzzt.
[Nexus One Accessories] auiotour:
I had a pair of V-Moda buds, and they shocked me a lot too, I am having good luck with the Skullcandy ones i have now.

Mine did it even when not charging. I noticed the ones that shock have a little hole in them, and the shock seems to zap outside of it. I put an led outside of it with a ground wire connected to it, and let them play, every 4-5m the led lit ever so slightly. It was getting powered by the head phones via the shock.

Is the wifi speed capped on the g1? Any suggestions?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
It's so hard to mesure the internet speed on a phone, I wouldn't be suprized that it is a false readout. Also you have to factor in the network, other computers, phone overhead etc.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amdathlonuk:
This is something I'm trying sort out with my wife's G1.

We're both at home using the Wifi router and I can download a 4mb file in 10 secs or so on my Nexus 1.

Her G1 takes forever then sometimes just times out, it like she's on dialup but we've rebooted, reflashed and it hasn't helped.

There should be no differnce as we're in the same room about 6 feet from the router.

Shes running Cyanogen latest rom with NO themes.

Any ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmhecker:
I know I have seen this topic floating around here before, but for the life of me I can not seem to find the thread, so I will re-ask in the hopes that someone is kind enough to answer.

Death..Danger...Eng...Development...Experimental...Haykuro...

Skateboarding Androids...Rainbow...

All of this talk about SPLs (and just as important, Radios)..

How do we (the end users) know which SPL we have? We all know to hold Camera while booting to get to fastboot, but once we are there, everything seems to be greek...nothing that identifies which SPL we have (IE: it does not say Danger, or Eng, etc)..

For instance, I have the skateboarding droids, and mine says:

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43

HBOOT

<BACK> Fastboot Mode

Does the ENG in the first line indicate that I have the Eng SPL? What SPL do I have, and what are the distinguishing items I am looking for to be able to determine that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
You have the danger/haykuro/death spl (they're all the same), this can be noticed from the HBOOT-1.33.2005
[Android Software Development] mrandroid:
So I was running through the source code for the Behold 2 Kernel.

I found: kernel\drivers\ps3

with files inside to control/manage the PS3 system. (Turn on, off, etc)

Is there a way to activate those drivers and actually connect your phone through bluetooth to the PS3 and control it? On, Off and move around in the menu?

That would be pretty interesting... specially if you can get Remote Play to work on an android device!
[Android Software Development] dj_ghosie:
Wow, if this is true then i'll definitely get an android phone to play with!
[Android Software Development] Ssantos6981:
I guess not many people with ps3's around here. I'd love to have some sort of interaction with my ps3.
[Android Software Development] Cuda1337:
I'd really like this functionality too.
[Android Software Development] benmyers2941:
I think that the catch with android and bluetooth keyboard/mouse support was the lack of the HID profile. If the behold actually has that built in custom it would unlock a lot more than just ps3 support, but I'd love that too.
[Android Software Development] Tawm:
They have managed to port the Remote Play features to MS Windows so it must be possible to port it to a Linux based OS (i.e.. Android)
[Android Software Development] mrandroid:
There has to be a way. The Kernel source codes come with PS3 Modules built by sony. The PS3 itself runs on linux (original ps3s even support installing linux operating systems)

I believe someone would need to activate those modules and rebuild a kernel, then someone needs to build an APP to take advantage of those features.

For sure we can connect through bluetooth and turn on/off the system and navigate the menu... That much the modules tell you. But again we need an APP for it too.
[Android Software Development] /\/!k:
Thats cool if you can controller the ps3 i would buy an app for that
[Android Software Development] slovoflud:
me too! :)
[Android Software Development] xaueious:
mistake. please delete
[Android Software Development] sibbor:
I'm eagerly waiting for this functionality to reach the Android platform too. Perhaps, now when SonyEricsson is focusing on the Android platform we'll see this kind of functionality implemented into a Android based device soon, and perhaps then ported to other devices.

Best case scenario would in my eyes of course be that the Android platform itself would support necessary HID profiles. I know that Android 2.X supports more Bluetooth stacks than previous versions, but that doesn't help I suppose..?
[Android Software Development] jasnmb:
This company is making an app to use external bluetooth keyboards as an input device for Android. Maybe we can see if they could also make one for Android to control other devices such as the PS3. I just posted on their forum to ask if they could do this (if even possible):

http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5247#5247

I for one can't wait for the day that I can use my Android phone to input text on my PS3.

EDIT: they already replied. that was fast! ...so it's do-able but need "community interest" before investing. [hint, hint]
