I enjoy both form factors, but I did fall in love with and pray on the chinned version. While I've never played with a GSM Hero, but looks to me like the chinless version's buttons are easier to press... the chinned version's look pretty flush but blah.

I also think the chinless version's build quality (again, never played with chinned version) seems a couple notches above our chinless version. blah. ah well, what can you do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] midtoad:
After that Rogers update, not only have I lost my root access (and with it, my WiFi tethering), but now I'm back at 1.5. I want my Donut back!

I've tried several rooting methods - no luck. I've tried the goldcard method using two different microSD cards, but each time when I tried to flash the sappimg.zip file I get the "Model ID incorrect" failure. Both my SD cards (4 GB and 8GB are from Kingston).

I also tried re-applying the very original Rogers RUU but you're not allowed to downgrade.

So, has anyone here had success with rooting a Rogers Magic 32A? My deets:

HBOOT 1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)

CPLD - 12

Radio 6.35.10.18

I also tried unrooting but within seconds of loading the RAV recovery image my phone would reboot (indicating loss of root privileges). I'm also unable to flash anything through adb or get root access there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BrandoHD:
I think the Rogers update installs the new perfect all, might have to wait awhile for the hackers to find anew method of rooting such devices.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
You should read what's going on before you post. This stuff is everywhere on these forums
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] midtoad:
your point?

@kawata, if your reply was directed at me: I've posted a new topic here because none of the many other topics I've reviewed on this forum (some of them up to 60 pages) specifically address the problem of the Rogers update breaking root.

If you have something constructive and helpful to contribute, I'd sure like to hear it. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] walie:
you must have missed all the threads discussing ALL OFFICIAL HTC UPDATES come with a perfected SPL
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] midtoad:
thanks @waylie, I get that, and I've learned that perfected SPLs make rooting difficult, if not impossible. The main question in my post is whether anyone has found a way to crack this latest Rogers update. Until such time as that occurs, I guess that in order to tether I'll have to use PDANet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bb147:
Doesn't the new update have USB tethering built in?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] midtoad:
No tethering built-in

Nope, there's no Tether app in the new update.

However, PDANet does provide tethering without root access (and costs $29), so until someone manages to root the perfected SPL, that's the next-best option. At least there IS an option!

Has anyone tried this one their fuze? The website only lists the newer phones.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
tbh its common sense if u have the stock AT&T ROM installed but since your signature shows ure running ENERGYROM, all u need to do is search the net

it doesnt matter whether or not the phone isnt listed it will still work
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KonAitor:
right, I don't have a stock rom.

When I go to download the program it tells me my device is not supported. Everything that I read on this, suggests it is released for certain devices while other sources say it's for any smart phone with a $30 data plan.

So i don't know if it's my phone or my data plan that is interfering(i am grandfathered in to an old $20 BB unlimited plan).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
BB Plan?? why are you on that if you have a fuze? i rather get the PDA Personal plan its just 10 dollars more
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KonAitor:
You get the same unlimited internet and 10bucks less a month...
[HD2 General] micky9869:
I seem to be experiencing issues that sometimes people call me and the call goes direct to voicemail without even ringing. I get no missed call alert and dont know that someone has called unless they leave a message. I have tested this by calling my handset from my office phone with the HD2 in my other hand showing full network coverage... call goes direct to voicemail. 5 mintues later all worked fine. This seems to be totally random however it seems to be getting worse to the extent that no-one could call me all afternoon today. I know that i missed at least 7 calls and possibly more. All the settings are correct for call diverts etc.

Also the new 1.66 Rom seems to have made my phone worse but most people seem to be saying that theres is quicker.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Other details?

Who's your carrier, were the calls from within your carrier's network or outside, etc.?
[HD2 General] micky9869:
Carrier is o2 uk

CARRIER IS O2 UK. THE CALLS THAT GET DIVERTED STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL ARE RANDOM.some within the network others are not. it seems to have no relevance. o2 advise me to test using another phone to see if the sim card is faulty. does anyone else have this issue?
[HD2 General] polstein:
I noticed it this morning at a real bad time. Was waiting for an important call back for an IT problem, and thankfully he left voice mail with a call back.

While the HD2 does many non-phone things, foremost it needs to work perfectly as a phone!

(i'm on t-mobile usa)

Working fine for a few days, but who knows how often it happened & the person didn't leave voice mail!
[HD2 General] robwalden:
Me too!

yep! I have had this for the first two months of getting the phone except mine says "do you want to send a text" instead of going to voicemail..... I "discussed" with T Mobile UK several times and they eventually did a full account refresh which seemed to solve "most" of it. I don't get people telling me they called me and couldn't get through any more although I have dialled my HD2 from my landline and it's still random. T Mobile gave me money back on line rental though..... that's something I suppose.

Hopefully some of us can find a solution.... or am I right in thinking we should be able to send it back!?
[HD2 General] LeeMc:
On the stock HTC sence, there is a Twitter App on the bottom bar, is it possible to swapp this with a facebook one?
[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
I don't believe their is a tab for Facebook on the Sense tabs currently. Best you can do is put Facebook on a quick link on the Home Screen. Then again the Windows Mobile Facebook program is quite crap, use the mobile web one instead.
[HD2 General] Ace42:
Yup no Sense facebook yet, so you cant swap it.
[HD2 General] LeeMc:
Ah, thanks anyways!
[Nexus One Accessories] Paul22000:
Before applying a screen protector, what's the best way to clean the screen? I don't have any Windex, but I do have 409... Not sure if that would be a bad idea lol
[Nexus One Accessories] risterdid:
I wouldn't use any form of liquid as it can seep through the the screen's rubber trim. I just use a microfiber cloth to wipe it clean.
[Nexus One Accessories] Know-Fear:
Same thing I just did. I second microfiber.
[Nexus One Accessories] Paul22000:
Where do you buy microfiber cloths? Target perhaps?
[Nexus One Accessories] courtnek:
I third microfiber, but i typically squirt a mixture of half isopropyl alcohol and half distilled water (effective homemade LCD screen cleaner) on the cloth before i wipe it down. the water keeps it clean, and the alcohol makes it evaporate quickly. It worked like a charm on my ADP1 all the time I've had it, and its keeping my nexus looking great so far.
[Nexus One Accessories] Know-Fear:
You should be able to find it at target. Look near the jewelery counter by the eyeglasses and sunglasses.
[Nexus One Accessories] Paul22000:
Got one. Thanks all. Wow, that cleans the screen quite well. I even put a few drops of Rubbing Alcohol onto the cloth. I thought I had specs of dust under my screen, but they were just dirt ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] melterx12:
Just for the hell of it... I Fourth microfiber! Best ones are the high quality cloths that come with your LCD TV.
[General Questions and Answers] cmilian:
Hi, I was wondering if there was something else besides Adobe flex or Visual Studio to do Mobile phone development. If so, could you guys recommend any? Visual Studio apps are not as apealing as I would like. And the Resco Toolbox addon is way expensive.
[General Questions and Answers] ajhvdb:
Agreed.

The iphone development seems to be better...I'm wondering if android has a nice UI library too? For wimo...pfff
[General Questions and Answers] TommyX235:
i use eclipse and android sdk + htc sdk for evo 3d. Works fine
[General Questions and Answers] shivamseo:
I am agree with Tommyx235. i also used eclipse and android sdk + htc sdk for evo 3d. works good. Thanks..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] t69broken:
I am posting this only because I am sick, as many of us are, of searching through 10 forums/sub-forums, polls and bountys just to get the information on updates to Android running on our TP2's.

Please vote!!!

Doing this to hopefully get the attention of the mods. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] t69broken:
bump

Any other takers?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] biscuits1978:
I voted. I wish all applicable phone forum groups would have an Android sub-forum in them. It would surely clean up the forums a lot!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
i definately agree that we should have a sticky for this, would make things much easier to have everything in one place, a one-stop forum for all that is android
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fortunz:
87 page threads can be a little tough to sort through too. Hopefully having their own forum will allow them to decompress a little and let noobs like myself get a better idea of the progress without investing enough time to read war and peace. +1 for an Rhodium Android subforum.

There's never a shortage of wisenheimers on the interwebz.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] schwalbach:
I dunno this survey question seems iffy :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DavidMc0:
I would definitely like this - there needs to be more threads for Android on Rhodium as things develop, and they need to be kept together. A sub-forum would fit the bill perfectly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lhwparis:
great idea!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mikkelnl:
I think a subforum would be a great idea...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] steviewevie:
You could say the same things for any of the more popular WM ROMs too though, e.g. threads with thousands of responses are out of hand and very hard to manage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ianderson_76:
Yeah, what this guy said, + the Android sticky; needed!!!!@
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sd73ta:
I think what we really need is a mod to close all the Android threads. Then someone who cares about keeping stuff up to date (Read my vote as reefermattness) start a new thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demonicronin:
I think it is becoming cumbersome to try to sift through all of the threads and post to see if anything has been updated on the XDAndroid project. It would help a lot to see it all in one sub-forum. It would help to clean up the other Rhodium forums also.

Everyone keep up the great work and keep showing all of our support for Android for Rhodium!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] treo...not!:
an idea whose time has come
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] t69broken:
I think bringing it to the attention of the mods may help things. Because there is so much development why not have a sub forum to weed through instead of getting it mixed up with the great Roms that are listed in this sub.

Exactly what I am trying to say.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Ut0p1a:
stop being lazy and search/read

or you can go here for one stop information :D:D

Android 1.6/2.0 on the HTC Rhodium

just joking around with you guys. Also, just want to give you guys couple links that is working for me (the above and my signature)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] farukb:
i think it is still too early to request an adroid subforum...first get everything to work...then request it

since not everything works

anyway this subforum isn't called "wm rom development",but rom development..so it is totally reasonable that such threads go here

so please triplecheck before you request something...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] biscuits1978:
Except it's not a ROM yet, so I guess it shouldn't belong here. And it's not an application so it shouldn't belong in the Apps sub-forum either.

So let's call it Android Development!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nemo0405:
+1 :p:D:D:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] venomshot629:
Imagine having to sort through a 797 page thread.... *cough* NRG *cough* :rolleyes:

I do agree that we should have a subforum here though, because I never know where to look for TP2 Android port updates, and it seems like if i do find a dedicated thread, theres someone saying to check "the other thread" for more information on one aspect or another... It would be great to have it all in one place!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] farukb:
hehe funny wordplay

call it as you wish it is under development and should go under development

and for "Except it's not a ROM yet" i'd say YET,but tends to be...because it is still under DEVELOPMENT

so maybe to put a subforum in a subforum of a subforum:P hehe...

no,really why not put a subforum into the development subforum,so android stuff goes in that and everything else stays as it used to be

like

-rhodium

----general

----development

--------android

----accessories

----themes

----cdma
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fortunz:
That honestly wouldn't bother me, so long as there is a dedicated section.

Heck, I wouldn't mind if cdma were a sub of general. It would actually make more sense for a cdma sub of development than it does for a general cdma sub, because of the dangers of flashing the wrong type of ROM to the wrong type of device. We've already seen several people flash the wrong one -- and those are just the ones willing to admit to that mistake.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] iceman4357:
+1 good idea, lets do it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] t69broken:
Great Idea.

That is also a great idea just would like a little more organization, it's starting to look like my desk at work in here!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] farukb:
i asked daveshaw to give us some support and maybe provide us a solution

but he pointed me to flar....

so i contacted flar...we'll see what will happen
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] assassin82492:
Why does the blackstone have an android dev section and we dont?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DotheTP2:
Yes siree!

:D I love my TP2. I love tinkering with my TP2.

It would to very nice and very convenience to have Sub-forum.

Great idea.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] svetius:
We're adding a new Rhodium Android Development forum today! It may take many hours until everyone sees the new forum. Also, I'll be transferring posts that are relevant, but for a bunch of hours, the forum may sit empty.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] t69broken:
Woo Hoo we did it guys. Thank you soooo mmuch svetius!! This will come as a big help!

Thanks to all that voted!

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
im worried theres just not enough here. i dont see tons of android roms poping up. but ok!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fortunz:
If you build it, they will come. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] iridium21:
Thanks, but why is the thread for Android on CDMA TP2s the only one that's stickied?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] l3it3r:
hells yeah! I knew it was a good Idea!! :)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skanndelus:
Newest Version: Believed to be the same version on newer T-Mobile MyTouch 3Gs

Older Version: (uninstall previous version first)

</b>

<font face="verdana">

Oldest Version: Said to work on the Eris

Just installed it and it works on my Hero

1. Download swype here. (if for some reason it downloads as .zip, just change the file extension to .apk)

2. Transfer to your Eris via USB

3. Settings -> Application settings -> Check Unknown sources (You all prob have done this before but my n00b friends had not so I thought I would mention it anyways)

4. Use a file manager program such as Astro File Manager and go to the location you stored the .apk

5. Install

6. After install go to Settings -> Locale & Text -> Check Swype

7. Open any email/text client and hold down the text box and you will get a popup asking what you want for input. Select Swype. You only have to do this once and it will do it for all your programs.

8. Disable Audio Warnings as it seems to give errors as well located at Phone settings -> Locale & text -> Swype

<b>I recommend reading the tutorial. Helped me. This is very sick. I now love one handed emailing and texting as its so simple.

alternative link:

*known bugs*

1) If you do not check "Disable Audio Warnings" in the Locale & Test > Swype Settings you will get repeated force closes.

2) Installing seems to disable the ability to click and hold to delete icons on the homescreen, widgets work fine.

3) There is no option to tap on a word to edit it while in Portrait mode, reports that landscape mode works fine.

[highlight]Mod Edit: No Swype Links Allowed[/highlight]
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] theresthatguy:
holy balls i might need to include this in my rom.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kingsplayer2:
Incredile simply put! Thanks ALOT!!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
i think my mind has just been blown away...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skanndelus:
if you get force closes, disable the sounds in the settings... i did until i turned them off

also, doesn't seem like you can select and edit words like it says in the tutorial
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ro_bro:
thx! It works awesome! except, you can't just hide it when you want to I noticed, like the normal HTC keyboard.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
just press the hardware "back" key. works fine for me
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abcdfv:

This?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kingsplayer2:
yes

too short
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PRGUY85:
Does it have support for other languages beside English?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skanndelus:
the only language setting i see is english, maybe there is a way to install more.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PRGUY85:
Just saw the Spanish dictionary in there so great.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] etbrandt2:
Man, I was sceptical about swype when I first heard about it, but it is freakin wicked!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sirchuk:
I wasn't too sure about this either, but it's growing on me! I'll have to run it through it's paces over the next few days and see how well it works for me. So far so good.

I suggest going through the entire tutorial.

Also, those not sure how to get it running as your default text input, just tap and hold onto a text input place to select the new default, you can always disable swipe at any time by doing the same thing. It doesn't replace anything that I can see, just another app to use.

Thanks for sharing OP!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sefferdog:
this just made text input infinitely easier on this phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zippy-man:
Wow love this so far thanks for the find.

Works great but I get FC when i hold down the backspace button to delete words. Works great if i just tap it but holding it down will always FC

EDIT: Turning off sounds fixed the FC
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
i used to HATE text input, but now i'm texing everyone i know! my grandmother! my ex-girlfriend! my sister's husband!

its awesome. if your skeptical just try it. (only takes a second to install) its freakin awesome.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lv2bll:
ya it takes about 10 mins of use to be fully acclimated to swype!

now that i'm using this i will start showing it off to everyone,YAAAY

p.s. and thanks for showing how to make it the default!!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sefferdog:
go into settings and disable sounds, fixed mine.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Cordy:
Thanks a lot. Love the new autocaps as well as the new word choice bubble. It has more of a pop and is more finger friendly. Also the holding delete now continues to delete words the longer you hold it down instead of only the last word.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] samsoccer7:
I like the auto-caps of this new trial release a lot, but I miss the insertion of a "." after hitting spacebar twice. How can I get that back? The old Swype would automatically insert that period, and if they could combine that with the auto-caps, it would be close to perfect for me. I kinda wish they would use a text box like Shapewriter, but that isn't a dealbreaker for me.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skanndelus:
added newest version... looks a lot better... having trouble editing the first post, not sure why!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
Absolutely outstanding input method! One handed texting is my new favorite past time. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bberryhill0:
Completely unusable on my Eris.

* Back to the old version.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skanndelus:
that's odd. i haven't heard any complaints about the new release... was there a specific error you were getting?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ljmeli:
Even after I uninstall the old version I get a message saying not able to install on phone...odd, not sure what's up
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skanndelus:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Remobero:
thnx skanndelus .. keep up :)

i figured i should upload mini version ( en only kb, help images removed, tutorial included )

size : 1.44 MB down from 5.3 MB

tested with no FCs up till now
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skanndelus:
cool! i did that as well, and re-optimized all the PNGs, i put it in the Swype Lite thread
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Remobero:
opps i didn't know there was a lite thread " could have saved some time :rolleyes: " .. i removed some help images and managed to get it to 1.14 MB :D

i'll post it in the lite thread now

great work :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skanndelus:
if we merge our releases i bet we could get it under 1mb, steal my re-optimized pngs!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
I say go for it! I'd use that! :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Remobero:
a new 1 MB version
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Sorry for diverting the conversation, and I'm sure this has been said before... I thought this app sucked big hairy ballz until I did the tutorial..this keyboard kicks a$$!!

Thanks everyone who made this available and is making it better and smaller!

ps.

Q: Is there any/what are the practical advantages to the 1mb version? Other than it occupying less space on my phone...
