Are you going to come out with one that is for HTC evo?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shoey-n:
This suite will work on pretty much every phone, you just need to be in recovery mode for the latest phones, click htc desire or other at the beginning
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] basthet:
Nice Program, but I cannot flash any fonts

Flash DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf

remount failed: Invalid argument

failed to copy 'data/font/sony/DroidSans.ttf' to '/system/fonts/': Is a directory

failed to copy 'data/font/sony/DroidSans-Bold.ttf' to '/system/fonts/': Is a dir ectory

anything I can do?

I am on an HTC Desire with Pay's Rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
Exactily. Actually there are two kinds of android the devices. The one that doens't need to be in recovery mode (G1 for example), the other needs to be booted in recovery mode, and /system /data and /sdcard hasto be mounted to (desire for example).

Basicly all Android devices should work with this suite.

Try to use it by selecting "Other device" - if this does not work, try selecting desire - and please post, which method worked with your device, so I can include it in my next version :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
Do you have the HTC Synch driver installed?

Did you ever work with adb before?

Did you choose HTC Desire at the beginning?

Was your phone in recovery mode?

EDIT: I think I found something, I can change in the next version - than it should work :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] basthet:
Hi - thanks for the answer

Yes - HTC-sync is working (the new version with nicer interface ;) )

Yes - I worked with adb before (but I am not an expert) - I used it for installing and removing programs.

Yes - I selected HTC Desire

Yes - the Desire had been in recovery mode (I put it manually, simply by doing it within the suit it was not working)

Cannot wait for the next version, really appreciate your work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
Nice to hear - It's some kind of sad, to get sooooooo many downloads but nearly no feedback :D

Gonna release it next week ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smartsreenath:
wow great application.......sounds good ........definitely i will try......

this software gives us better opportunity in customizing our phone.........:):):):)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dajumper:
to bad i get always error android 1.0 driver and i try so many times but no luck
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anika200:
Thanks for the app. I have only been using it for a couple of minutes but here is some feedback. I cant seem to get it to work with the first two menu items, Get Logcat and Get App-list. When I select either it pops up a dialog where I think I am supposed to select a file or file name. Then I select an empty file I created or use the existing one in /LGS-v2B/data/log and I get an error.

I cancel out of the file selection dialog and then I get a pop up window that reads "logcat Completed" But of course there is no file created. Any ideas.

If I can get those two simple commands to work I may try some of the other more useful functions.

I forgot to mention this is an HTC Aria. Do I need to be in recovery mode with this device to get the logs?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] koricua74:
I can confirm that Font Flasher worked on the HTC EVO 4G. I selected 0 (other device) flashed 4 different fonts including a custom font.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
What error is this exactly?

Which device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
Unfortunally I dont know the Linux Suite very well, sine crizznaig ported it over to linux all on his own ;)

Atm the linux version does not include all the features of the windows version.

Maybe you should contact crizznaig about this ;)

I dont think you have to be in recovery mode to get logs
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
Thx for feedback ;)

I will include it in the next version.

Have you been in recovery mode?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aludal:
Danke shoen, Herr Che123, for your excelent utility!

Hope I can use it with my Pandigital Novel tablet (Android 2.0 Samsung s3c6410 SoC-based device, must be similar to Samsung Moment phone). It's been actively hacked at the Slatedroid as we speak.

Here, I plan to start playing with flashing system fonts. Here I have some questions:

1. I started my own research into that matter (fineoils.blogspot.com) never knowing that such a beautiful and useful utility exists. But I wish I could have a look at underlying font flashing scripts in their originals, to be sure we have the same, or similar structures.

2. It is true that "main" Android font for phones is {whatever}Sans. We with our 7" cheapo tablet, on the other hand, deal with a sort of ereader/Web browser where Serifs become more important. I would love to play with alternative Serifs in my system fonts (outta iPhone? OS X? Win7?) as the Acsender's giveaway serif for Android is bland and mediocre. So, I just add my choices in data/font dir, right?

3. Naturally, an inclusion of universal, or adjustable ROM flasher will turn your utility into a genuine Swiss knife for Android users. So please, please! When we can expect first betas with ROM flasher? For our device, we have an .exe file (for flashing over adb framework) which is actually a zipped combination of a real flasher and a ROM, so you can get our flasher, to start with.

Ausgezeichnet!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WaveMaster1406:
Hey bro! Great tool!!!! :D

It's very useful. I've changed my G1 font with one of Windows 7 (Old English).

Maybe a real PC Suite can be make inside your job! :rolleyes:

This is some screen shots with this new font i've installed.

Thanx bro!

PS: Can't retrieve generated log file in the PC-Suite_v2.0/Log/ folder. I use Windows 7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
hehe, thx ;)

1. I took a look @ your link and I saw, that the fonts of your tablet are located in the same folder like on any other android device: /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

My Suite uses the same way to flash the fonts.

2. You can of course flash your own fonts to. Place your DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf in /data/font/1custom of your suite-folder and take a look at the instructions in the suite.

3. I'm not familiar with Rom-Flashing with adb - and i dont really know if there is a need for that ;)

But I would like to take a look at your exe-file ;)

Pls, give feedback, if it worked ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che123:
What do you mean with "real Pc Suite?" :D

Graphical user interface?

We allready tested some kind of gui - but nothing we could release yet :)

Thx for screens, not really my style - but nice to see that the suite could be usefull :D

Do you get any errors while generating the changelog?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
Anyone know if there is one ?

Something like the eq settings in Itunes would be nice ???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummiesteven:
Hey,

I've tried searching for this but have had no luck.

Am looking for a way to upload photos to an album in picasa as soon as I take a photo, automatically without having to do anything after taking the photo.

Is there any app that will allow me to do this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-itookthisonmyphone-application-zFq.aspx

That was the only one that said automatically in the discription, I don't have an account so I can't test that feature.
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
So, here is my story.

I have tried Fresh 1.1, and I found that I was getting may too many reboots both on the phone and on Sense for my liking.

So I switched to Modaco 2, and have been very happy for a while...

I just had yet another reboot.

I was listening to some music, when I had a notification for an email. Looked at the email, tried to lock my phone, then tried to unlock, and that's when the music went off, and my phone rebooted itself....

I'm really getting tired of this. I have not loaded any new apps in the past 2 days. I have minimal apps anyway (Facebook, Weatherbug, Handcent, NPR News, Touchdown, Power Manager and Droidswap, that is it)

does anyone have any history of problems with Droidswap ?

I'm really getting frustrated. I hate when this happens, and I'm giving realy consideration into curtailing my brief incursion onto Android and returning back to the iphone....which is a real shame, as I f**king hate ATT

:(
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
I would recommend taking your phone back to the store. I have not have had one unplanned reboot the entire time I've had my Hero (bought on release date Oct 9). I'm running Fresh 1.1 now, and had 1.0 previously. There is something seriously wrong with your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
I have no problem speaking for the entire android community when I say...

"its been nice knowing you, good luck with the iPhone and att"
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Honestly...I have never had a full reboot on its own.

I have seen Sense close out and have to reload usually after I play an intensive game, racing or something like that with alot of graphics. I assume it just runs out of ram and does its thing to get resources back.
[Hero CDMA General] bronxknight28:
That's a rare occasion there's not much people that it has happened to from what I seen. Did u try to wipe your phone and cache & whatnot, do some of that and see what happens

(off topic)

Jdog stop trolling because u definitively don't speak for the Android community...
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I think I can speak for the whole Android community when I say. "Please don't go" - The more of us we have the better. Given, I completely understand frustration and disappointment. :D
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
Bronx,

Myself and many other members of this site and over at modaco's site have given advise on this issue. Griff insulted flipz and other devs in the fresh Rom thread, then went to modaco and started talking trash on the devs here.

Every post is about this reboot problem, that no one can seem to replicate.

I apologize for being rude but if someone doesn't take any of the advise given,then continues to clutter up the forums with new threads about the same thing it ticks me off...
[Hero CDMA General] oxeneers:
Try TTG. It's made a world of difference for me.
[Hero CDMA General] x99percent:
The advice he should be taking is to STOP LOADING APPS.

Out of the apps he has listed, I only use Facebook and Handcent SMS... so I'm willing to vouch for those two as not being the culprit. If he hasn't done a wipe and tried running with minimal apps, then the problem is his own fault.
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
some people just arn't made for android, and apple's buisness model is "you're too dumb to want to do that" actually applies to some people

EDIT: and there is nothing and I mean NOTHING in the world that gives me more of a nerd-boner than someone "rage-quitting" it puts a beautiful smell in the air... the smell of victory
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
Erm, ex-****ing-scuse me, but can you PLEASE copy the link to the post where I insulted Flipz and started talking trash ?
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
I haven't got lots of apps loaded.

And I have gone back to stock, wiped, formatted my SD card many times...etc...etc.

All I am saying is that I am experiencing completely random reboots, and I'm desperate to hear if anyone else is.

This dudejdog or whatever he likes to call himself is plain wrong. I have never, and never will trash anyone. I urge him to prove if I have.
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
Guys, please, I am not into flaming anyone. I paid my subs to Modaco to get his ROM for chrissake.

ALL I am saying is that I am having issues with reboots of sense and phone when running modded ROMS.

I DO NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH STOCK.

That's my bottom line here...I do not have issues with stock.

I am going to run stock with all my normal apps for at least a week now to see what happens. I may be back to the boards at a later date because I don't want to give up on this phone.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
You could try stock and maybe figure out the Apps2SD scripting that way you have both.
[Hero CDMA General] ljmeli:
Did you try removing any partitions you might have set up (for Apps2SD or swapfiles)...just an idea, simply reformatting your SD card will NOT delete partitions.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Okay...you said you've gone back to stock. When you go back to stock without any other programs loaded, are you still experiencing the issue?

If not, what I suggest is to load each of your programs one at a time, pausing after you load them for at least 12 hours to see if the reboot occurs. I know that's a time consuming process, but it may help to isolate.

If you are having reboot issues with no additional applications loaded and while you are using the stock ROM, I think there maybe something wrong with the hardware and you should take it back to Sprint for replacement.

Hopefully this helps, or at least points you in a direction to go.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
When you return, let us know your results and we'll try to help you. I'm thinking it is an application. I had this issue when I tried to update the Superuser Permission program. When it tried to update from Android Marketplace, it would reboot the phone (I actually saw "System crash is inevitable" in the trace log when it tried to update the program).

If you don't mind me asking, what version of the Stock ROM are you using? I did have issues when I was running a custom ROM (Modaco) running 1.29 and tried to upgrade to a custom ROM (again, Modaco) with 1.56. My issue was force close issues that I could not fix. The solution was to revert back to stock, let the OTA update upgrade the phone, reroot and apply the new Modaco ROM.

I understand this isn't a force close issue, but your problem may be similar in nature.
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
How do I check for partitions ? I thought formatting would get rid of that ?

I remember partitioning a while back, but I have since formatted, and presumed that would have cleared it ?

I'm not back to Stock 1.56.651.2 build CL85027

I took a chance and re-installed pretty much every application I had previously, apart from the obvious rooted apps like droidswap and cachemate.

It's looking fairly stable for now, but I'll report back over the next few days to see how it goes.

I have to say, I've not once slated anyone on this forum. I have total respect for Flipz and I paid Modaco the subs to try his 2.0 beta and then the release. I really would like to use the rooted ROMS, but right now, I just want to see why my phone is doing what it's doing...
[Hero CDMA General] Flomotion:
hahahahahahahahahaha...

awesome..

but ya, no problems here, sorry mate!

(either user error or bad hardware)
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
:D

As jdog says in a few posts below the one I'm quoting... I have done everything I can to try and help him. I have directly worked with him. Along with a ton of other members on this forum. He chose to go to modaco and say that it fixed all his problems and trash fresh. Now here he is saying he's having the same problems.... again.

Edit: With the hard reboots you are getting, I honestly think you need to go exchange your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] adelaney:
Giff,

The only reboots I have had, were caused by an app. And it happens twice a month roughly, so doesnt bother me. Happens with droidlite live for me. Also, its kind of ****ty for you to be bashing one of the guys that tries too help everyone out. I would expect that from an ipod fanboy. You need to decide if you are a fanboy, or a superuser. If the latter, then quit acting like a beeeitch.
[Hero CDMA General] Time_Lord:
The CDMA Hero is far from perfect... Sprint has replaced mine twice, not sure why Srint thinks replacing the hardware will fix software bugs but...

I have the following issues with mine...

SenseUI crashes occasionally, the phone itself has crashed a few times... enough to be annoying but I can deal with it (for now)

wired Headphones not recognized if the phone powers on when the are plugged in, annoying only when the phone crashed, I can deal with that too

Bluetooth... Major annoyance, I have it paired to my car (Ford Sync product) and pairing is fine, turn off and leave the car for a few hours, come back and the car bluetooth can not find the phone until I turn the bluetooth off then on once or twice on the phone at that point the car can reconnect to the phone. 6 other phones I've tried have no problem with the car's bluetooth WTF bluetooth has been around for a while

Call answering... somebody calls me, they hear it ring 3 times before my phone even wakes up, sometimes the buttons will start to light up and then ring or the phone will start ringing then... can't tell you how many calls I have missed. The phone will often just show missed call. WTF? this is a phone, it should work as one!

last gripe (at the moment) what's with the keypad getting lathargic? you go to dial and sometimes the keypresses lag terribly, I think its tied to the heartbeat but in 1.5 but I'm not sure, a reboot of the phone clears it for a little while.

remember I need the phone not only for my personal use but I need to be able to get calls for work. The phone is really becoming a disapointment.
[Hero CDMA General] bronxknight28:
the last 2 points i can agree with, i think its just because this phone was really the prototype for sense UI and hopefully with the update for 2.1 this can be fixed lets pray on that one, sorry to hear about your other problems tho!! that sucks
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
OK, in a perverse way, this is exactly what I've been looking for.

Since going back to Stock, I have so far only had 1 Sense reboot. I also have had my phone replaced once by Sprint, but I'm loathe to do it again, as it must be software related, not hardware related.

I'm sorry to anyone I have inadvertently pissed off. It was really not my intention. I guess I'm just picky about my experience on smart phones, and should learn when to temper my thoughts....

Flipz and Modaco are doing a great job with their respective ROMS, and I will keep my thoughts to myself I guess.

:o
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I have had an extremely minimal amount of Sense fc's since I've been using Fresh 1.1... probably only about 1, and no reboots. None of the problems the Hero has bothers me except for the keyboard lag. SERIOUSLY. When the virtual keyboard is the only way of entering text into a phone, DON'T release the phone is the virtual keyboard is going to lag and make using the phone a chore rather than a pleasure.
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
The strange thing is that add-on keyboards that are popular in the market lag even worse on our phones than the stock one.
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
lol i i found this out recently. tried better keyboard and it lags WAY more than the stock.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
This has been a major annoyance of mine from the start...and I know it has nothing to do with any of the ROMs. I have to make sure the headset is unplugged before I reboot the phone.

I had this issue with the 1.29 Stock. Even to the point it wouldn't connect Bluetooth correctly until I actually force a repairing from the System menu. Seems that 1.56 Stock fixed that issue.

This could have more to do with Sprint than the phone. I've had this issue with other phones as well.
[Hero CDMA General] adelaney:
The phone function could defintitely stand some improvement, haven't had any Bluetooth issues though. I tried better keyboard too, thought it sucked.
[Hero CDMA General] mercado79:
I find it really strange that you're still having issues with the headphones. This bug was fixed when Sprint released 1.56. Same goes for bluetooth. I had issues with both originally, but not at all since the update.

As for the phone taking forever to ring, I too was missing a lot of calls originally. However, I found that if you disable the roaming guard / call warnings, the phone rings much much faster. Try disabling these:

Settings --> Sound & Display --> Roaming Alert

Settings --> Call Settings --> Voice Privacy Notification
[Hero CDMA General] Time_Lord:
Can't say if the bug was supposed to be fixed in 1.56 but Head phones work, however if the phone is turned on with the headphones plugged in then they are not recognized. Bluetooth gives me issues like i stated above.

I check the settings as you mentioned for the phone I did not have roaming guard/call warnings turned on, I did disable the warnings for call privacy, and tried again, no difference, I called the phone and the android started ringing when I heard the third ring on the phone.
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
Day 2 of running stock. Applied the majority of my previous apps, and have no reboots.

Am a little concerned about the HTC Location bug lag kicking in, but may reboot it every night to check that.

will give this another few days and then I'm gonna attempt a modded ROM again.
[Hero CDMA General] top_banana123:
I too am disappointed with my Hero. Amongst other minor disappointments mine also reboots several times a week. I'm sure it's software related but suggesting that I do a hard reset and have minimal apps is a bit of an insult. I might as well have a basic nokia if I just want to make phone calls. Bizarrely I could live with the reboots (I am an ex winmo user after all ;-) ) if it wasn't for T-Mobiles full volume jingle every time. Not good in the theatre or at 4am!
[Hero CDMA General] someonenewhere:
my phone has never rebooted and I've had it for a while now..
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
I have never gotten a reboot on my phone that I didnt initiate. I would say its one of 2 things either like many have said before there is an app or something causing it or you have a problem with your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] ogboot:
i've never gotten a reboot either on a stock rom, had my phone for a couple months now. only real FC i've ever had were shady software from the app store.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
How did you modify the sources? I would be very interested to know. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] feicher:
This would basically mean that the hardware limitations are overcome and we could use any true HERO ROM by using above kernel. Is this correct?

Regards,

F
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sanpei:
since we couldn't patch or copy-paste htc-hero-2.6.27 to msm-kernel-2.6.29 directly, the first thing is understanding what htc does and what are the differents between new Radio and the old one and between different devices.

then we can modify source of msm-kernel-2.6.29 manually, to let it working with our hardware/radio by ourself. I will upload my sources when some jobs are done.

some thing i forgot to mention: some HTC functions(most are USB related) are not added (they have lower PRI on the list). so if you test a SenseUI ROM, it may not run properly at current.

mostly.

linux is a modern system, most devices can install it, and our phone is not so different with PC (or other devices) now. there are hardware limitations just because Google/HTC/Qualcomm let them there.

now, for HERO ROM, the USB (just for HTC functions) related jobs i mentioned above is not done yet. and you may need do some cooking job (like build.prop/default.prop etc) with some certain ROM. i am not familiar with cooking skills, i just do a little changes in ROM and ramdisk.

with help from good cookers, we can combination any ROM with a kernel which are running properly and tweaked for some special functions. with a reorganization of the kernel source, the tweaks can be done easily in the future, as install a driver on our XP, or just a little bit harder than that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Eskibo:
Wow.... i sense some good stuff popping up throughout the weekend.
