Here is a round-up and testing posts:

FULL ROUNDUP:Browsing the Web on Windows Mobile just like on iPhone,incl. IEM6 review
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] addicus:
No disrespect but that review is outdated. Since it ws put out:

1. Opera has 2 new browsers in Mini 5 Beta2 and Opera 10 Beta 2.

2. Iris was bought out and discontinued.

3. Netfront has released version 4.

4. MS has Mobile IE 8 now.

-

That's 5 major changes to take into consideration.

First of all I hope this is in the right section.

I was hoping to find some awesome music/rythym games later in the Android Market.

Well, it's been about over a year since Android was released, and I still see a lack of good rythym games!

My request is for a developer to try their best and create a well-designed music game, hopefully using our own music from the SD card..

That would be awesome!

Id like to see multitouch implemented somewhere in one of these games ...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] urfavoriteemo:
No, I know this is on the market, but we need something better.

Guitar Hero mobile for Android wasn't exactly the best experience I've had.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ccunningham83:
I have been asking for this game to come to Android since I got my G1. Mainly looking for the NIN Edition!

http://tapulous.com/

Even sent them a request, but so far nothing has come of it. I recommend everybody request it, If there is enough support they might port it.

Can't post links yet, but this is the original thread starting from last year, stating that if theres enough demand, they'll try to port it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JHaste:
some of you may have played it before but this is a steam game called Audiosurf

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTZTPdDW7PM

a game like this would be awesome on the nexus... basically it produces a unique track based off of each song for that song and its a sort of tetris game where you have to match the blocks up and such... was well worth 10 dollars on steam when it first dropped, i had countless hours of obsessed fun on the thing
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Geniusdog254:
Play this on my Zune HD & it is FREAKIN AMAZING! Would love to see a port for Android
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] huhmuhan:
taps of fire
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] urfavoriteemo:
That's a very good game, but it needs to ne refined more. But we REALLY need a game like TTR or Audiosurf, I have nothing against taps of fire, but I don't like playing on amazing. Too much for my thumbs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ccunningham83:
Here is the link for tap tap revenge:

http://getsatisfaction.com/tapulous/topics/are_you_guys_going_to_bring_ttr_to_android_phones

Everybody should request it so we can get it ported.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ccunningham83:
In the mean time, I found this:

http://code.google.com/p/tapsoffire/

Somebody mentioned it in this thread already, but I searched the market for it, but it didn't appear. It probably wasn't designed for the Nexus so it didn't show up, but there is a Droid version available from the Google code page. Free and open source!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] urfavoriteemo:
One of the best music games is Taps of Fire. I have it installed, I recommend others to download this app too, only bad thing is having to hit the notes a little early, but its fine. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] SimPRoBer20:
Hi, I'm fairly new at developing android. Im having the hardest time making a virtual sdcard. can someone please give a some tips or a walkthrough. i've read all the how to's n googles dev forum.

ive gotten to the point where im in cmd.exe on windows

i opened the mksdcard.exe

the when i go to type in mksdcard 64M sdcard.iso

it says its not recogized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

CAN ANYONE PLZ tell me whats going wrong. im so anxious to start deving for android!!
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
You need to either add the sdk\tools folder to your path (PATH environment variable), or actually cd to the tools folder or fully specify the path. The error is Windows telling you it has no idea what this mksdcard thing you're talking about is because it can't find it.

This is pretty basic command line stuff, not Android specific--you can develop without knowing about it, but it's worth spending some time learning. (I recommend DOS for Dummies for DOS 6.2, if you can find it. Seriously. I've probably read that book a dozen times and I don't think there's anything like it for Windows. The modern cmd.exe isn't that different from command.com.)

Of course, you can also specify a virtual SD card when creating an AVD from the graphical SDK and AVD Manager, and skip the command line business.
[G1 Android Development] SimPRoBer20:
ok i get what ur saying.

like i find the file through

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\mksdcard.exe

then when it finds it

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\mksdcard.exe mksdcard 64M sdcard.iso?

im confused

and when i make a sdcard in avd manager or watever its called my emulator cant find the sdcard. and even droid explorer cant see any of the emulators files. an idea what the problem could be or am i just blatently missing something?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
You're making it too complicated.

> c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\mksdcard 64M sdcard.iso

Where "> " is just the prompt that's already printed on the screen. You only need the name of the command once. :)
[G1 Android Development] SimPRoBer20:
ok so after i do that. it just gives me a fresh cmd line like i never typed anything in in the first place.

and when i go to look for the file its nowhere to b found.

is this normal?
[G1 Android Development] SimPRoBer20:
wait!! i think i may have just found them

whats the most common method of emulating zip files that ppl make?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Linear2202:
I've got an Tilt 2 (ATT) using the stock rom from e2 rom. Seems like the device starts to slow down over time especially with a bunch of apps installed. I install apps to my storage card. I have used memory reclaimers, but they never seems to reclaim all the ram that is being used. I can see this because I know how much is in use after boot up.

In particular, tabs in TF3D can be slow to appear when they are stopped in, apps slow to launch. I have the app stay open in the background, maybe that is also part of my problem, but I do manually close apps at times too to keep the running ones down to 4 or less.

Anyway..does anyone else notice this? I try not to reboot my phone much. I guess I would like to not have to reboot the phone every few days but if that is what other people do, then so be it.

Thanks for any advice people might have...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Several items:

-stock ROMs especially from carriers are often bloated and don't perform as well as cooked ROMs.

-regular soft resets are unfortunately crucial to keeping your device performing at a high level throughout the day. I have a program that schedules my device to soft reset every morning. But I'd say once every 2 or 3 days is fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Linear2202:
I'm using the stock rom minus the bloat provided by eraser...

Thanks for the help..I'll just reboot the device every few days.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
There's several memory management tweaks and apps that have shown to help a lot with freeing up those resources in the TP2. Have you already tried the two .cabs (nopushinternet and resproxy delete) that have been circulating here? Those, along with a registry edit have made a big difference in the RAM consumption on the TP2 for a number of people on the 6.5 rom. There's also some settings via Advanced Configuration that seem to help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Linear2202:
I actually purchased Memmaid because the TP2 tools wouldn't work on my device for some reason. Memmaid helps, but it doesn't quite do it.

The rom I'm using has push internet disabled, but I am aware of the cab for it too, thank you.

I have not tried the proxy delete cab, I will look into that.

The memmaid app has some performance registry tweaks. There are some for internet explorer, but I use opera, so I'm going to put those back to normal.

I tend to let apps be open too and perhaps that is also part of the problem. I go in an close them when several are open, but maybe I should just have the X button close the app instead.

Thanks again for everyone's input. Much appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
make sure you use the opera9 edits or cabs to disable auto startup of Opera. I know normally have 48% ram to use with stock rom and before it would be in the high 30's after a while without anything open. I agree the mem progams dont restore it to fresh boot state but they do help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Linear2202:
I also haven't disabled Opera at startup, i will look into that as well to give me a bit more ram. Thanks again.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] shadowlest:
Well, I have a CDMA Audiovox PPC6600 to a friend who can crack it beyond the touch of the device, he was trying to upgrade to WM6 thing for that device until then there is that I know, and just leaving the unit unusable , and even then I did not find any solution for this case, the device enters the screen colors, screen USB, everything normal, just do not start any system, and not reset works, does the unit is it? That would be correct that?

If anyone knows how to help me, I thank you:)

Again sorry my bad English, say it is not my forte ^^
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cheapusenet:
from the sound of it you attempted to flash a HARRIER, the cdma version of the blueangel with wm6.

that's a nono. it doesnt work, i've been unable to figure out why exactly.

if you reflash the original wm2003 rom it should be fixed.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] shadowlest:
Well I tried the whole procedure that I already have to try to reverse the effect until now, nothing more, resets all types and all, and when I use the program update it plugged into the USB, it does not show the version, I think he not released do not know, still await help = \

More thanks anyway =)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke66:
I've tried every possible idea i can think of to get GPS to work in the AOSP 1.6 and ghibs 1.6 build, and neither work. I've done full wipes for both, flashed both correctly, installed the bits correctly, and cannot get GPS to function. It turns on (well it checks) but nothing ever turns on, and it can never locate me.

Any suggestions or explanations why GPS would not be working?

EDIT:

Did a RUU, wiped, rerooted and flashed from stock. Seems to be working now.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoottesen:
Can you pull /etc/gps.conf and /system/etc/gps.conf and post the contents of each, the reason I ask is because I had an issue with this file on ghil 1.6 and had to replace that file to get it to work. More than likely that wont be the issue, but it doesn't hurt to check everything. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke66:
Will do. Second.

from /etc

and from /system/etc
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoottesen:
Yeah that is the same contents of what I had to put it to get mine to work. So I dont think that is it.

If you want to test here is the contents of the gps.conf that did not work for me, you could try and replace it and see if it works out, I know it worked for some people, worth a shot right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke66:
Sure, ill give that a try, but just to be clear, i dont believe GPS is even turning on, its simply doing nothing when its "turned on" in the options. Ill update and see if that does anything.

Edit: Still nothing. No change whatsoever in the behavior, it just doesnt start GPS. There isnt even an icon for it on the taskbar. It's as if its never turned on, but it is checked.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoottesen:
Dont forget to reboot after the changes. Just to clarify, are you getting the flashing gps icon on the top bar when you go into google maps?

Edit: Ha you beat me!! The next thing I would suggest is change gps.conf back to the original contents, reboot. Then run turn off gps in the location settings, run "adb logcat" and turn the gps back on and post the results of what happens when you check the box so the dev can see that, hopefully it will tell them whats going on with it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke66:
I did reboot before trying again. I'm getting no icon whatsoever. Like i was saying, its like GPS never turns on.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoottesen:
See my edit in the above post ^^
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke66:
Alrighty, already changed it back to that, so ill do the logcat.

Thats my log from starting, waiting a few, then turning it off.

Edit: Just checked the log for gmaps when trying to find my location and nothing of any use came up, just showed my inputs, and the output of no GPS being found.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoottesen:
It definitely looks different than mine, I am on Modaco's newest rom and I get this when I turn on gps. Hopefully someone more knowledge than myself can help out. Dont know if it makes that much of a difference being on a different rom, if so I can flash to 1.6 and post the logcat that I get from that, or if someone following this thread running 1.6 can post it that would work too.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke66:
and thats what's even more frustrating, is that GPS on any of the 1.5 roms (fresh, TTG modaco) all work fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoottesen:
Well at this point I'm out of ideas, sorry I couldn't have been of more help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke66:
Bump for any ideas
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myke66:
Fixed. Edit in first post.

[Hero CDMA General] bobdude5:
tmobile one was fake..and there is no android 3.0 yet
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
The phone does look amazing, but the biggest drawback in my opinion is the same thing that made me purchase a Hero; "Sense" (even though I love it). Maybe HTC's OS release times will improve, but I'm not so sure it'll be worth waiting so long for them to update the UI every time a major OS update is released in the future. I think it'll be vanilla Android only, for me, from here on out. I just need something with that 4.3" screen :eek:
[Hero CDMA General] VinceOB:
I want it!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] Aridon:
My next device will have a physical keyboard and large screen.
[Hero CDMA General] Deleted member 884763:
HTC is coming out with phone after phone. But has no time to support the phones that are already out. This ticks me off a bit..
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
meh...i can wait. My Hero does just fine for me, and I can wait until October to see what comes out when I upgrade again
[Hero CDMA General] N0J:
if it's sprint, where is their logo?

they won't sell a phone without that on it. Could be an early mockup, but still ;)

I can wait...

Hero is the best phone I've had yet, if I can hold onto an Instinct for a yr, I can easily stay with this... :D
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I want a full keyboard android phone. The moment sucks though
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Meh. 4.3" screen is too large to carry around day-to-day.

I'll take a Hero-sized device with Snapdragon, thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] gomorrah:
Maybe you should quit wearin skinny jeans then. :D

Im rockin this bad boy when my upgrade comes back up Oct. 11, 2010.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Ha Ha. Skinny jeans. I think im gonna rock the fanny pack again and pick this sucker up. Cant get rid of my skinny jeans.
[Hero CDMA General] bpapa9013:
I have been really impressed with Android so far despite the fact that the Hero is "officially" still stuck on 1.5...

I'm still primarily a WinMo user (personal phone: Sprint Touch Pro running VetVito's newest ROM), but my work got my dept a Hero as a remote-support/on-call phone, which actually kind of backfired as we were expecting it would have VPN (the Sprint Rep told us it would), so I have been testing out the custom Hero ROMs trying to find one with functional VPN (i.e. 1.6/2.0/2.1). No luck yet, but there are a couple new ROMs out in the last few days that I haven't had a chance to try yet...

But in regard to my personal phone, I am really hoping that Sprint will have a phone w/ a larger screen by the time my upgrade comes back up in Feb. I would totally go for an Android phone, but being that I have been primarily a WinMo user since ~2001 I am pretty exited about WinMo 7 coming out, too bad they won't have any phones actually released until well after I will use my next upgrade...

But I am praying that Sprint will either get the Android 2.1 update for the Hero or another Android phone that comes with 2.1 by the time I upgrade, I really like the Hero but I am going to go with the most current OS I can...

And Snapdragon + a bigger screen would rock!
[Hero CDMA General] 4redstars:
I agree...I don't want a phone bigger in size than my Hero, but I would like a full screen from top to bottom with smaller buttons, the buttons on the bottom and that stupid trackball could go and I'd be even happier...

I saw a Droid on the train I take home and there is no way I could carry that thing around all day.
[Hero CDMA General] badutahboy:
Let's be real for a minute... I want 2.1 as bad as anyone, and it's really frustrating not to have it since there have been leaked roms floating around for a couple months... but riddle me this:

Other than the Droid and Nexus 1, which phones have received a 2.x update?

HTC isn't any further behind the 8 ball than anyone else in this regard.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
No phones from anyone anywhere have received a 2.x update. Period.

It looks like the Hero will actually end up being among the first, if not the first, to receive it.
[Hero CDMA General] ljmeli:
No love for the trackball??? I personally love it...living in Denver I don't want to have to pull my gloves off to look at the widgets. I wouldn't mind an optical 'trackball'.

And for the size, I'm not sure yet if it's to big. I would love to check it out once it's out and see if it's pocketable and sized right for day to day use. My guess is that 4.3" is probably about as big as you'd ever want to go before it simply becomes a tablet...
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
Very true, but either way, I think Google and the manufacturers need to come up with some way to handle the fragmentation issue. They can get by with the problem now, but with Android becoming more and more popular, this problem isn't going to fly in the future. It would be wonderful if every time Google released an update, every phone out there could update manually through the PC or just wait for their respective carriers' OTA update. Not really possible, but it's a thought.
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
what about wimax this hasnt even been discussed yet isnt this supposed to be the first wimax capable phone has anyone on here actually had any experiences with wimax
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
WiMax = 4G .. data connection right????

if so.. wow.. that alone will get me to get this phone...

With Wifi tethering.. life will be awesome!

iphone... who??? :D :p :eek: :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] badutahboy:
It's totally possible. Google just needs to revisit their licensing, and require hardware companies to supply them with drivers. That way, Google can drop the vanilla version for everyone, and you have the option of updating now or waiting for the manufacturer/carrier version (so you can have sense and/or carrier apps)
[Hero CDMA General] miamicanes:
What Google *really* needs to do is clarify 3.0's API to create well-defined points for things like lockscreens and homescreens to simply plug in and run independently of the underlying version of AndroidOS. Then, something like SenseUI wouldn't *have* to be inextricably bound to a specific build of a specific version of Android.

Hell, it would even open up the door for HTC to sell SenseUI directly to consumers with other brands of Android phones as a retail product through Android Market. I'd be willing to bet a fair amount of money that HTC would make more net profit selling a single copy of SenseUI to a Droid owner for $9.95 via Android Market than it would have made by selling one more Droid Eris to Verizon instead. Ditto, for Sprint... if you're a Sprint customer and want an Android phone with a real keyboard, you have exactly one choice too... and like the Droid, it's not made by HTC, either.

Uncoupling SenseUI from the phone itself would enable people who buy HTC Android phones to get it for free, and upgrade at will without losing it... but it would also enable HTC to profit from secondary sales to consumers who weren't ALLOWED by their carrier to buy a HTC Android phone with the hardware feature(s) they wanted.
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
Yeah that would be great. I was actually thinking along similar lines, but I had to get back to work and stop slacking off so I didn't have time to type it up ;).
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
+1 on this, I would rather see them get a couple updates out before another model. At least to show that they care about gaining customer confidence, not just about the initial sale.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
They're working on releasing 2.1 for the Hero as we speak.

What kind of support do you want from them? The guys who develop new hardware aren't the guys who code maintenance releases for other devices.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
The moment has an optical trackball
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
Wow this sucka has 1GB of RAM.......sheeeeesh thats sweet.
[Hero CDMA General] alexthearmo:
If only this thing had a trackball it'd be the best android phone to date. Trackballs help so much when typing...if you make a mistake, you just scroll to the right spot. It's a pain to try to touch exactly in between two letters to fix typos. Get a trackball HTC!!
