The link in the "sticky wiki" isn't working.... Is there an AOSP 1.5 ROM in existence?

I love the 1.6's but SMS doesn't work for me (deal-breaker) and data connection is lost a lot (bummer)

I just want my Hero to be vanilla and have everything work. Anyone point me in the right direction?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Go get a gutted rom - about as vanilla 1.5 as you can get for Hero.
[Hero CDMA General] daveydave:
Sounds great... uh, where? I'm comfortable with wiping, flashing, etc, but have never built my own ROM. Are you saying download the HTC newly released source, or are you referring to something else in existence?

I'm on the AOSP 1.6 now, but would love to have a "Senseless" 1.5 that's as fast as this AOSP 1.6 is.
[Hero CDMA General] Darkshneider:
Search the forum for Gutted 1.5 since it appears that the wiki is down.
[Hero CDMA General] gomorrah:

Why don't you just turn Sense off? Force stop it in Applications and see if that works for you...
[Hero CDMA General] daveydave:
I did, but that's only the home app. I'd like just vanilla. Plus I really like the stock calendar app better than HTC's version.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
No one has done an aosp 1.5 yet suprisingly enough.
[Hero CDMA General] fchipm:
Yeah that doesn't work for me either. It's not the appearance that bugs me, it's the complete drop in performance that all the HTC stuff causes.

Thanks for the suggestion tho!
[Hero CDMA General] Darkshneider:
Didnt HTC "hack" 1.5 to use CDMA?

Ok, not really hacking, but CDMA wasnt supported until 1.6.
[Hero CDMA General] fchipm:
The Samsung Moment is on 1.5
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
The moment is running a Samsung 1.5 Rom. Not aosp 1.5.

Samsung had to modify the operating system and kernel to get it to run on cdma.

(just a guess)
[Hero CDMA General] fchipm:
Good call.
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
2.0

We have 2.0 that works well. Everything but camera and bluetooth. I use it a lot, it's AOSP 2.00

:)
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Just go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>HTC Sense>Clear Defaults. Then press Home. It will say HTC Sense or Home. Check the box and pick Home. Voila!
[Hero CDMA General] daveydave:
Yeah, I guess until HTC releases the 2.1 kernal (or whatever we're still missing) all these ROMs will be broken in one way or another. It's a matter of picking which things bug you the least. I don't need bluetooth, but I use the camera a lot. :-(
[Hero CDMA General] daveydave:
Yeah, that changes your home app to the default Android Home, but it doesn't get rid of Sense. HTC Sense is much more than just the home screen.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
This is not vanilla nandroid, nor aosp. This is HTC Sprint hero minus the launcher.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
It is the closest you can get without digging in and making your own ROM. There's also a white taskbar update.zip, as well as some other mods.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
This gets me thinking, couldn't we just put our kernel under a moment Rom? Then we could have "vanilla" android?
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
If there really is enough interest in this, I could look into stripping all of the sense and htc framework from the base 1.5 rom, but I will make no promises since I'm more interested in my work on the 2.6.29 kernel...
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
this interests me.
[Hero CDMA General] gomorrah:
+ 1 for interested in this.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
Fully working aosp? Count me in :D
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
+1 interest for me. (BTW to those that are using 2.0, where did you get the Googlebits from? I tried using the ones for 1.6, and I got force closes like no other).
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Maybe we can just get MoDaCo or Gumbo kernel working on Moment stock rom with superuser app installed.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Here is the Moment dump (DUMP, NOT ROM) for your coding pleasure. http://www.4shared.com/file/149766091/c3a7ee61/momentsystem.html
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
I really don't understand the point in making a 1.5 aosp build. I mean sure i guess it would be a cool proof of concept that it works on our phones, but that just makes our purchase of the hero arbitrary and would make the buying a moment much more reasonable due to the perks it has over the hero such as a bigger processor, optical trackball, physical keyboard, etc, etc.

I'm not trying to bash the hero in that last statement, i was just stating how unreasonable it is to make a aosp 1.5 build. hero is 50x better than the moment in my opinion for it has more openness it has with root access and sensui and a great community here at xda
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I get what you're saying. Some people prefer Sense, when others prefer vanilla Android. If you don't want to use the rom, we all respect that. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Some people want it, some don't.
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
Haha, yes. but the point isn't whether i like aosp builds or not. I love them to be quite honest, especially the 1.6 one (if only that goddamn sms issue would be resolved for my phone), its just a 1.5 build is just a waste of time and effort to make. especially since htc modified so much **** to make it work on our phones. think of it this way, would you use vista over windows seven if both were free? No that is absolutely dumb, you'd want to use windows seven because it has all the enhancements and **** that makes vista **** (i hate windoze and microsoft by the way so this analogy is killing me). just use aosp 1.6 instead if youre really looking for a vanilla android platform on our heroes, it probably be much more stable than aosp 1.5 anyways looking at how much work would be needed to port it to our phones.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Theorhetically, it shouldn't be too much work to strip everything "htc" from the phone. But I'm no dev.
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
but thats not aosp

thats like saying if you strip everything ubuntu off of ubuntu, it would be lfs, but its not!

p.s. lfs=hell to make but its worth it
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I thought if you stripped everything off Ubuntu, you'd have Debian?
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
Lol, touche. got me on that one.

a more correct analogy would be stripping everything debian off of debian then you'd have lfs
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
How about we all just user arch and call it a day...

as a side note, I'm working at stripping enough htc framework, sense etc. from the stock rom so it will be as close as possible to AOSP 1.5. I was messing around and decided to give it a whirl, it's been educational. Progress is being made.

Let's all just use Gentoo. That'll show AMD/Intel who's boss.

[HD2 General] mad_style:
Hi Guys,

I’ve done a look through the forums but can’t find the answer for which specific Key I need to revert so hopefully someone can answer this quickly.

Basically I’ve been on a mission trawling the registry to try and find a way to have pictures taken by the camera always save to the \Storage Card\Pictures path. However no matter what change of registry settings I’ve done to keys which look like they might be controlling this path, it always saves in the DCIM folder structure. Also Advanced Config doesn’t seem to over-ride this as it happily reports the new paths that I’ve set.

I’ve found plenty of threads where people have also been attempting this but to no joy. Now that I’ve given up I need to set the correct keys back to what they were originally.

Which key is the one which tells the Pictures Tab in Sense the folder to show the pictures from (as currently my Pictures tab reports ‘No Photos Available’. I’d like to revert it back to the ‘default’ so it at least knows to open up the various directories it creates for pictures/videos under Storage Card\DCIM\

Alternatively if someone has found a solution to this and can point the default Camera save location to a directory other than DCIM, then please let us know.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
2 minutes with ceregistryeditor and google came up with these two settings, and a little tweak. Not tested them , so sorry if they dont work, but worth a try!

HKLM\system\pictures\camera\OEM\picturelocation holds two keys,

external - \DCIM\

internal - \my documents\my pictures\

also

HKLM\software\HTC\camera\general holds lots of keys, one of which is EnableDCIM and a google on EnableDCIM brought up THIS post from where else but xda dev.
[HD2 General] mad_style:
Thanks for the info. Through further tweaking and adjusting of those keys I've happened upon a combination which is now working again.

Also appreciate the tip about CE Reg Editor as I wasn't aware of this program. That will be much quicker than the Resco Registry Editor I was using...

Oh yea, great prog. Makes searching easy, and applying those tweaks a doddle.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] simonium:
Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster.

So, I want to have my wallpaper of choice on only my home screen, and have the weather animated as well. I'm running Verizon's official 6.5 upgrade with, as I understand it, Sense 2.1 (I haven't been able to confirm that the way I could on the old ROM, though).

I made a cab of the wallpaper with the nearest I could find to the proper settings, which was TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - Home Tab. HDWall tells me that I need Co0kieMonster's Patch. I found it here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529730, though it definitely seems to be meant for the Blackstone, and not my Rhodium. Not able to find anything better, and not knowing my specific version of Sense, I tried a number of his cab's, starting with the Verizon specific one, and then running through all of his 2.1 variants. At the best, there was no noticeable change on my phone. At worst, the clock would only display white boxes with bits of black in them (and wouldn't flip up to show the text version), the Call History became 0 Missed Calls and my calendar appointments wouldn't show up on the home screen. Trying different settings for home screen only in HDWall either resulted in no change to my wallpaper, or the icon bar at the top being weirdly skinned or turning green (which makes sense, since I wasn't using the correct settings). HDWall works fine creating a wallpaper for all my tabs, but I don't want that.

So then, does anyone have a solution to suggest? I can't imagine I'm the first one to have tried to do this with this particular configuration. Any advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dj_doeboy:
If you want to change the wallpaper of the home screen without affecting other tabs then go to settings on TF3D and change the home wallpaper. Then install this cab, soft reset, and the animated weather will be on top of any custom wallpaper...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dj_doeboy:
i forgot to add the cab... :p here you...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] simonium:
Gah! That was sooooo easy! It was just a cab! I'd put probably three hours into getting this to work, and there was a cab for it. Thank you so much!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] simonium:
So now I have another question:

When I installed the cab, the top curtain on my home screen disappeared. I was thrilled about this, because I was going to get rid of it next anyway. As a result, though, the clock shifted upwards to fill the space (around 1/4"), but the weather animations didn't. In most cases this doesn't mean anything. However, when it's sunny and there's the lens flare, it comes from just below the sun instead of inside it. When icicles form on the clock, they're happening a quarter of an inch below the top edge of the clock, rather than on the top edge.

These are minor issues, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix. Thanks in advance...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jchutch2:
I already have weather animation on mine. I didn't add anything. Is this stock T-Mobile 6.5/2.1?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] simonium:
Mine's the stock Verizon 6.5/2.1. My issue isn't that I don't have the weather animations (I do, both with the default wallpaper and, thanks to the above cab, with custom wallpapers as well), but that the clock on the homepage isn't where the phone thinks it should be, which results in the weather animations being misplaced a bit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] simonium:

Thanks, dj_doeboy!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AmelFl:
does this work on sprints 6.1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] simonium:
I don't think it will, no. The weather clock on the homescreen is limited to WinMo 6.5 and Sense UI, as far as I know, and this cab is for that.

Once your official ROM upgrade hits though, you should be able to use it, so maybe save it until then. It shouldn't be more than a month and a half before it's released.

[Touch HD Android Development] Logicalstep:
I wonder how many Touch HD users would be willing to pay for Android 2.1 ?

I guess the idea would be that you could start a fund to try and entice people who work for HTC and Google to come forward (anonymously of course) to help push things forward.

You could have milestones, with each milestone (once proven to work 100%) with a price on it's head.

I mean if enough people with the Touch HD were willing to contribute, we might end up with a significant fund, enough to entice the people you need.

I'm not saying the people who are hacking it at the moment shouldn't continue, it just makes sense to me that people who are in the know at HTC and Google might go out of their way to help for a bit of recompense.

Interested YES but how realistic is this?

I would love to have android on my HD but asking people from google and HTC to develop this is for both google and HTC like shooting in your own foot. I guess they rather sell us a new phone instead of lengthening the use of an existing phone they have sold already.

Do not get me wrong, if they want to do it, I am game, just can't see it happenening. We're depending on the XDA community to get this to work. Maybe we should all donate to the developers here, so we'll get results sooner. They have come so far already in a relatively short time.

Just my two cents,

Telstra 3G/NextG anyone?

I looked in this thread to see if anyone had the answers, but it appears not:

I have a Telstra sim, and when I install either of the two most recent Android OS's, my 3G doesn't work.

I've read this portion of the FAQ:

Q. How do I make my GPRS / 3G data connection work?

A. For some operators/carriers, you need to run Android, then go into settings, and locate the APN settings. You need to complete the APN settings for your Operator/Carrier/MVNO. You need to find these settings for yourself I'm afraid, it's out of scope for this thread. You might look here , but Google is your friend.

the website doesn't help because there's no stated Telstra APN settings, but what's more difficult is that when I go into the settings, I can't change any APN details because nothing shows up, or its greyed out. I think this is because Telstra doesn't allow any modifications to its network settings (in Windows Mobile when you try to configure it, it comes up with a message saying that the connection is not configurable).

The Windows ROMs are all able to get around this network-locked 3G connection, but the Android one can't. Has anybody else experienced the same issue? Is there a way to get around this, to allow 3G?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hard buttons 'power' and 'hang up' on the Blackstone

Hi there!

I've tried a two versions of Android here. 'Android 2.1 (Eclair) On HTC [18 May 2010] (V2.2a)' posted by TheBrilliantMistake and now I'm using ''Android 2.1 with HTC SENSE' posted by klinux. And ofc I'm using a Blackstone...

Anyways, I noticed that the hard button 'hang up' acts like the power button, putting my device to sleep and waking it up when I press it again. The power button, on the other hand, takes me to my home screen... And with SENSE it shows the screen overview if I'm already in the home screen. In other words they should switch places! Can I re-map the hardbuttons somehow?

I've seen a cuple of memebers here expressing a similar problem on the Blackstone. One of them thought his power button was broken, or something, and the other had the brilliant idea that you "have to" hold and press both power button and the hang up button to wake the Blackstone up :)

Once again, can I re-map the hardware buttons?
[Touch HD Android Development] cis.snakeman:
I had the same problem than you.

But now you should test the latest version. (Eclair 2.3)

Long push on Power button = Appli switcher

Hang down button = switch off screen

How does one go about installing HTC Sense on the android?
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
One looks at the main board, and one sees the threads with "HTC Sense" in their title, and one goes about following the instructions therein.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
You need to go to the APN settings (see a blank menu (possibly)) then click the Android Menu Button (the home key on a touch HD) then choose 'Add'
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Yes you can, start searching....

BUT, don't do it.... trust me, the current mappings are the best. You might THINK the power button is the best option to power the phone off, but it's not quite as simple as you might think.... you'd then need a button to take you home.... The home button you might THINK would be logical, but then the home button is used to bring up the android menu (a very common button).

The truth is... the buttons on most none Android devices aren't a perfect match, but the choice made is THE best choice with all factors considered.

Don't forget on a real Android, the hangup button is the power button too.... so would you want to be using the HD power button to hang up calls?....

The more you consider all the options, the more you'll reach the conclusion not to change the mappings (trust me). It's just a pain that the power button has to be used to take you home.... but that's the best compromise
