there is a mostly working 2.1 on here in the stickys ant the top on the forum as well as an ASOP 2.0 build but I would give it a few days to a week and now that the kernel source has been released the great devs here should have a fully working build very soon.
[Hero CDMA General] Duganator:
Thanks alot, is there much of a risk doing that?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
No, Sprint has not release a newer version of Android for the Hero than 1.5.

As long as you flash a CDMA Hero ROM & install the custom recovery image, there isn't much risk.
[Hero CDMA General] Nodata:
Sprint has not released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet and does not have any confirmed date on when it will be available.

The devs here have several 2.x ROMS with partial functionality, and instructions on how to root your phone and flash them are usually on the first page of their respective threads. Also, check the wiki at the top. It's new and needs a little polish, but it's a repository for all ROMS and guides you'll need.

HTC just released the source code for the CDMA kernel, and with that the devs here should have a fully functional 2.x ROM soon.

[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Flashing is installing different core software or firmware on the phone.

read this thread to root

and this decribes how to flash this rom
[Hero CDMA General] Duganator:
could someone explain to me how to do that, i want to learn and expand what i can do on here. also, is there a flash enabled browser?
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
click the links on my previous post to read what you need to do.

PLEASE read everything, then re-read it , then read it while you are doing it. there have been many people that have not done so and bricked thier phones

as the old adage goes measure twice cut once.

as far as flash the stock ROM allows flash, that being said there are some file formats that it wont play but for the most part its pretty good.

[General Questions and Answers] The Whistler:
Hi all,

does anybody know a good free timekeeping software for Windows Mobile?

I just need the functionality that I press "Start" in the morning, and "Stop" in the evening after I have finished working. The software should be able to give some Excel-readable output for further calculations. And it would be good if more than one "account" could exist so that different tasks can be time measured (not at the same time...).

Thanks from The Whistler!

I have the Rogers HTC Dream and I was going to update the radio blah blah to the 2.22.19.26I one so I put the radio on the sd card and in preparation I was going to do nadriod. But I wasn't paying attention at all and flashed the radio instead (I am an idiot).

Now it is just stuck on the Rogers screen and holding the home button or the camera button doesn't do anything.

Can you get into adb at all? I didn't do that exact issue, but one time I did something that screwed up some things, I couldn't boot the phone or get into recovery, but I was able to adb into it, reapply the recovery.img and then get into recovery to reflash a ROM and everything else.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleeepy2:
Computer doesn't recognize the phone at all :(

I phoned and told them that the new update for the 911 fix bricked it. They said they will send me a new one and if there is no water or hardware damage it will be covered. It's not water damage and it's not hardware damage (it's software :D ) so I will see what happens.

They didn't mention anything about software and they might not check so I might get lucky.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulska:
so your comp doesn't recognize it in fastboot also?

i thought i was bricked till i realized that RA Recovery 1.5.2R didn't work when i downgraded my EBI1 radio to .26I one. had to load 1.5.2w/o R to make things work again.

then again, im all new at this stuff (just a few days). so i might not even know what the hell im doing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleeepy2:
yes your right that I would need a new recovery also but it is too late now as I can't get into fastboot or recovery and computer doesn't recognize my phone while it is stuck on the Rogers Logo.

I assume the new dream that they send will already have the new SPL, radio and rom so hopefully someone will be able to root the new "perfected" SPL by the time that I get it :D.

I saw in the Saphire section that you should beable to use a goldcard but I am not sure if that works for the Dream also... I guess I will find out once I get my new Dream.

Hi there

I have just noticed that My Location does not appear to have today from the location where is was to that where I am currently. It has always done so and this is the first time that I have noticed this happening.

I have tried several soft resets, making sure that Google Maps was able to find my location, and that Quick GPS was updated...but all to no avail.

I have search through the forum but have been unable to find anything that seems to fit.

I wonder if anyone can help me? Provide any advice of suggestions as to what to do to resolve the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Balders :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Baldrick1:
Just a quick update that my help to localise the issue. I switched off Gprs and turn on WiFi and My Location was instantly updated to the correct location/weather synchronised properly.

Have now turned off WiFi and am awaiting the normal 2 hourly GPRS update cycle to see if the above 'nudge' has sorted things out.

Strange though :confused:

Hi !

I'm very happy with my Hero, but im kinda tired that HTC hasn't released atleast a 1.6 ROM yet.

Im thinking of flashing a 2.x ROM, but which is the most stable? I use my phone at work, so can't go around and reboot it constantly. Also Exchange mail is a must!

Any tips? (looking at kagu/ckdroid)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jeppfi:
CKDroid works great! I find it most stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wrsg:
this may be a little early to make the claim of stability but i have been using AOSP 2.1 r1 by jnwhiteh all day, and it has been very stable.

i was using kagudroid before this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
CKDroid is based on it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sjoerdos:
Why don't you try MoDaCo custom roms? They are android 1.5 but heavely optimised, they're faster then any 2.x rom i've tried.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
I'd say CKDroid is the fastest of the 2.X ROMs. And as far as I've tested it up against MoDaCo when it comes to speed, they are quite equal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] culturelol:
Ok, i'll try CKDroid.

I tried MoDaCo 3.1 hours after getting my hero, and about the same length of time later I removed it, it was horrible and I used to get crashes of the "system" process and had to reboot, happened 5-10 times in fewer hours so i switched straight back to a rooted version of the original Hero generic latest ROM.

I might consider givng another senseUI 2.1 option a try before i make my final judgement, but that's just my experience with the MoDaCo one so far.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] magokh:
yes i read those problems...but can be resolved easily...so, when the cook will release the next version, i'll flash instantly! goodnight :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bt1980:
I suggest KaguDroid 1.1 or later, or AOSP 2.1-r2 or later, if you can handle a vanilla (no sense ui).

Villain has Sense; which is nice because of Facebook contact sync. All other parts of Sense can be imitated by apps (like the clock/weather can be done by beautiful widgets). There are some other issues with Network Location and there is no included HTC or Android music widget in Villain. Although I prefer the HTC home-screen, I also prefer the Android lock-screen.

KaguDroid includes voice input from the keyboard, so you can use dictation to enter text into a field in ANY app.

Villain doesn't provide the HTC IME keyboard, or voice input (as of today).

Market works without using Market Enabler, for Rogers (Canada) in Kagu/AOSP. SMS incoming timestamps are correct without using SMSfixtimes in Kagu/AOSP.

As far as stability is concerned, I haven't really had issues with any of Villain/Kagu1.1/AOSP2.1-r2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guru_floyd:
definetely kagudroid..stable and full market!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sustanon:
What do You think about Hikari? It's have many changes in latest version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bunnygum:
KaguRoid Vs Villain

I have tried most of the ROMS and find KaguRoid to be the most stable, it is fast. The only problem for me is bluetooth audio does not work and there is still a problem with the Camera. It is also the most advanced in terms of graphics.

Villain 1.1 is also very good, blue tooth works fine, the only problem is with data transfer, access point settings etc. I suspect this will be an easy fix and attended to quickly because it affects so many. If they can overcome this then IMHO Villain 1.X will be the mist have ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mashulace:
I tried Villain 1.0 and found it very stable, with the exception of google goggles and barcode scanner (the latter fixed simply by reinstalling the app). Just upgrading to 1.1, fingers crossed!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
I've been using 2.0 roms for quite a while and, after a few tests, I find vanilla roms being my favourites; I'm using Kagudroid and modded it to support sshd (dropbear) along some other features like HTC IME. So far it works great. Fast, lots of ram left (110~120MB after Advanced Task Manager killing most of the useless apps). after stuffing in my must-use apks into /system/app i still got around 44MB left on the rom. Very happy with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wywywywy:
It looks like pretty much all of them are stable enough for everyone.

But which one is the most feature-complete?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zombiefly:
htc said "end of march" yesterday
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Stable?

I'm not sure peoples opinion on "Stable" but so far I can't find a single one I'd like to flash and keep on my phone.

The Vanilla builds seems to be stable, but don't have any of the nice UI or widgets, obviously this is preference but I can't stand vanilla android, it is "fugly".

Most of them have problems with either/all of network Location, Gmail AutoSync and/or OpenGL.

Is there anything yet that just works? It looks to me like it'll be HTC release date by the time any of these gate stable enough to be using day in/day out.

For now I'm sticking with stock because the only things I miss are BT OBEX, Goggles and Voice Search. I'm aware I can get the latter of these with MoDaCo 3.1 but when I did try it, it was horribly unstable, system process FC every few minutes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hager420:
Did you wipe your device before flashing 3.1? I've been using it for the last 4 days after realising all the 2.1 ROMs are to unstable for day to day use. Not had a FC yet.

Yeh, I tried both, no wipe and wipe, but I can't be bothered moving all the stuff off my SD to formt and partition it to try again. I'll stick with stock for now as MoDaCo doesn't really give me any advantages over it, most of the stuff I'm after are 2.x features.

I wouldn't mind but it looks ugly, Vanilla android without SenseUI is the ugliest thing ever, annd thiis isn't an ugly phone.

Okay so a "recent" problem On the camera for my phone i get these really annoying green lines that randomly flash through the image.

It started out just on the 1M setting now its on L as well.

So has the Camera finally been whacked or is this maybe a corrupted driver file?

My last phone that did this (my old Samsung Blast) started with lines, then no images(either green or pink) then died shortly after...

I guess if a re-flash does not fix it a new camera would?:(

Hard reset and see what happens...or flash another rom, if that stills going on probably your camera has some hardware issues.
[Touch CDMA General] smarcin:
Would someone write a tutorial on installing Android on ext2? I thought I understood how it works, but realized I was only booting from haret, and not installing onto the ext2 partitions I had made. I went back and reread a lot of the old threads, but find it hard to figure out when to push vol down or hit end. Also, I prefer to boot into 320 x 480 so I can see the whole Market. This makes the print so tiny, I'm not sure what I'm seeing. (I did manage to get it on to my ext2 partition, I think. How do I know for sure.) Thirdly, the choices when booting are different, depending on whether you want to install for the first time or not. So, could someone tell us what the correct selections are if you are:

1. Installing onto ext2 partitions for the first time.

2. Just wanting to change resolution.

3. Wanting to change builds completely from say, Donut to Eclair.

Also, I understand that you can backup your data.img. But how do you go about reusing it if you are wanting to go back to a version of Android you've used in the past?

Lastly, if you are moving from, say Donut to Eclair, (moving to a completely different build), must you use a backup app to take your apps, settings, ringers, wallpapers and so on, to the new build?

If someone would write a tutorial addressing these questions, I'd be forever grateful and I'd imagine it would help those who want to try Android for the first time. :) Having all this information in one place would really help.

Thank you so much.
[Touch CDMA General] dr3w2k:
Not a pro by any means, I am still trying to figure everything out myself but here is how I understand it...

To install on ext2, you need to partition your SDcard into 3 partitions, 1 FAT32 and 2 ext2. When you run haret, it will detect the partitions and ask you to "upgrade". If you choose yes, it will install on the ext2 partition. If you choose to back up your data, it will create a backup of your data.img file and then upgrade. If you press End, you have the option to wipe the data file before you install.

You can verify if it installed to the ext2 partitions by browsing your SDcard. You should not see a data.img file on your FAT32 partition and you should see a backupsystem folder with the system.sqsh file in it.

If you want to change the resolution, all you need to do is change it in your default.txt or startup.txt file.

Don't have any advice going from one build to another as I normally just wipe my data file and start over to ensure I am starting clean. :)
[Touch CDMA General] PhilipDV:
Thanks, it helped me too...

But; I made 2 partitions, 1 Fat32 and 1 EXT2. I'm running haret now, he didn't ask anything about updating... Now it hangs on a black screen, but the backlight is still on. I didn't see any linux penguin neither like the last times (without ext2).

Hi. I searched the forums for the answer to this, to no avail.

I had been using ROMs for some time, finding that I couldn't put up with the missing functionalities of different types.

Anyway, I like the stock OTA android system with all of its flaws, etc. I don't mind.

My question is: when I root the G1, will I still receive OTA updates, i.e., will my phone function as if it is stock? I want to root for the SOLE purpose of getting my wireless tethering back, as I travel frequently.

So basically, what are the downsides to rooting, if any?
