Last week got a Toshiba TG01 and while the phone is what I expected the software is not.

I searched a lot for a Android port for it but failed to find something.

So as I code for a living is not my best idea for spare time but I am willing to give it a try.

Can anyone point me (and probably others) in the right direction and provide some links/info on the following:

Compiler tools for compiling Android OS pats.

Android OS source code.

Source code for snapdragon kernel modules in Nexus One and/or Acer Liquid.

Snapdragon/other SOC documentation.

Android is a linux so its kernel is GPL'ed so any kernel module for snapdragon should be GPL'ed also right ?

Effort in the right direction. .

Hi, I own a HTC Hero and also bought a Toshiba TG01. I completely agree with you. Toshiba is a superb phone let down by the software and the battery life. Android would do wonders to the phone and transform it nito a completely different league. Android phone with the largest screen size.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Dear patient Hero users,

Finally HTC officially announced a release date, well not a date but a indication:p

On the renowned dutch website Tweakers.net an article is posted, which says HTC gives Hero an update in march!

Tweakers.net is a very up-to-date website with updates about elctronics, games and mobile phones every day.

So I can safely say this is legitimate information.

Tweakers.net:

http://tweakers.net/nieuws/65478/htc-geeft-hero-medio-maart-update-naar-android-21.html

Engadget:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-pegged-for-mid-march/

Maybe some of you guys can use google translate.

If it's quiet in the bar I work this afternoon I'll try to translate some parts.

It's still waiting a while, but finally we have a indication of when we can expect the update!

Regards,

DaanJordaan

P.S. In addition to all of this, you can find a translation of the original press message in post #7
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Azure465:
nothing new...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
I don't no about that, both articles were posted yesterday I believe
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
Do you have any link to an official press announcement by HTC? AFAIK this was again released by "some source" who claims they have information from HTC in Belgium (or Luxemburg... or another Benelux state :P).

This is not more official than the previous one from HTC Poland, which said it's coming on Feb 15th. There probably is (in both cases) some guy in the support team who didn't want to tell people to wait, but made up some estimate. However those guys in support don't know much more than we do. Maybe one week before the release they get a heads up, but not now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zophar78:
First announced for january.. Then poland htc site said "february", then dutch htc site said "march", then blablabl...

It will be out when it's done that's it. There is no serious announcement. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Well yeah that's true but both tweakers and engadget are pretty renowned websites, no?

Quote from engadget:

"PR released today indicates that we can expect the Hero to get an Android 2.1 update with Sense in "mid March" according to HTC's Benelux team"

Sounds to me like a pretty solid source
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Here's the link:

http://www.whizpr.nl/persberichten/6679

And here's the part that matters:):

"Met deze Android 2.1-update voor onze Hero-toestellen bewijzen we opnieuw ons leiderschap en toewijding aan het Android-platform", zegt Mark Moons, Regional Director HTC Benelux. "De HTC Hero heeft zich de afgelopen periode bewezen als best verkochte Android-toestel. Door de Android 2.1-update als eerste voor dit toestel beschikbaar te stellen, belonen we gebruikers met innovatieve functionaliteit waarmee ze nog meer uit hun Android-device kunnen halen."

I'll translate it for you:

"With this Android 2.1-update for our Hero-handsets we again prove our leadership and devotion to the Android platform", says Mark Moons, Regional Director HTC Benelux. "The HTC Hero has proved itself as best selling Android-handset. By making this Android 2.1-update available, we award users with innovative functionality, with which they can get even more out of there Android-device."

Hope I gained some confidence;) But to be fair I'm still a bit sceptical too;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rogershroed1991:
So that means you can update without having to root it and all that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] b1ck132:
http://www.htcsource.com/2010/02/video-htc-sense-on-android-2-1-enable-pinch-to-zoom-on-home-screen/

check this =)

interesting.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
haha great... it looks like they kept the nice old sense ui and didn't go for the strange bubble stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
Official updates don't ever need root, they probably remove your root acces since the whole rom is changed from the old one.

The video is from a custom rom, at least that's how I see it, a guys hero with a different bootscreen from the hero.

I do believe it's comming in march.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah all leaks from new devices like HTC Bravo also show the classic sense UI. so it seems like the htc espresso UI was not meant for other devices. LUCKILY! The bubbles looked like a cheap china imitation of the iphone UI.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
You don't know this for sure since the final htc sense version isn't released yet?

As said before it's a custom rom showed on that video, I found a reference to lox and belhaams (???) on another website.

Still i'd hate the bubble, so I would be pleased if they left it out after all
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
well we can only hope. i also don't believe that we will get the update mid-march. First rumours claimed that the update will arrive on christmas 2009...so...

And the video flying around is really not a good thing. i mean the video has like 8:42 minutes length. And like 7 minutes are boot time....i surely hope that this is some kind of cutom rom...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
I do believe it's comming mid march, I read the article and it says that htc as a company released this news. Not some employee of htc poland who wanted some attention ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
I dunno, I haven't seen a single rom which had handwriting recognition (especially made for sense ui) in the call app. Or the icons in the menu.

Granted, I don't really try all the roms here.

It might be a leak ot something, but it doesn't seem like a rom I have seen yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
It's not official, until it's from HTC website don't beleive what you read. Your all gettin sucked into the online hype ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mach2005:
All the rumours where just a marketing stunt to keep selling Hero's under fals promises.

Soon HTC will apologise for not bringing out any update at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] schmia:
I Wouldn't be surprised if your right.

I'm really getting pis..of HTC with their bulls..it announcements.

Thank god we have our custom XDA roms!

Regards,

Schmia
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alias_neo:
When have HTC actually announced _anything_ except that they _are_ making a ROM (see their twitter).

They have NEVER officially given a when.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] niclas90:
Update

I think that the update will be released mid-april...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
I saw this link to on a hero blog where somebody got an answer saying there probably won't be an update released. Might be fake though. We'll see in a few months anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iammodo:
That's just wrong, some of us are on 18month contacts and we can't get the latest apps.

Bit upset about moving from the iphone now at least they get updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Don't worry about it, you will all have a heart attack soon. Just wait and be patient.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] winhhh:
But it's mid-March NOW and I want the ROM, NOW.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vegetaleb:
Ok

But would this ROM disable rooting of Hero like on Legend?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Most likely will. There will probably need to be a new method for rooting these devices, which I am sure someone will.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
If you already have a rooted device, you should hold off from applying the 2.1 update from HTC. You can be certain that within a couple of hours of the official update becoming available, the devs here will post an update.zip file so that you can apply the update without locking your device back down again.

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Postponed to april

I'm getting pissed, time for a motorola droid byebye HTC
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
What exactly are you wanting the phone to do with this update that you can't do already?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vegetaleb:
BT files transfer, vga 30fps video recording...

But certainly no Live wallpapers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iammodo:
A lot of apps can't be installed on 1.5. such as underworld and googleearth.

blue tooth file transfer.

stability updates ( I would hope)

It's also a point of respect and customer service. The amount we paid for out phones we should be kept in the loop. Even the HTC Tattoo has 1.6 just to insult us.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
You purchased a device that could only do so much but you yet expect a company to update it's device to bring extra features. I understand this however, people need to understand it's not just the matter of banging out an update. It has to go through major testing otherwise it will screw up devices and features might not work.

They will bring it out eventually, not a problem to wait. The speculation of the Internet is bisurk. Rumors here, rumors there rumors everywhere and some people choose to play chinese whispers everywhere. It will come and even if it doesn't so what. Go buy a new device that does have them capabilities.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] riddick541:
And, they postponed it again ...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] xjairusx:
To be honest i'm pretty disgusted with HTC, they market the phone as being the next big thing and then 3 months down the line theres a matter of 6-7 phones which they are developing more so. And as far as the G1 and G2 are concerned, I really dont think google had any plans on putting there name to them. This was just t-mobiles intuition yet gives a false impression that it would be one of the most up to date android devices. Androids just turning into just another operating system, the only thing seperating it is the market and the amount of free apps compared to other OS's... however theres always ways around that and to be honest. As much as i'd like a nexus one etc, i'm sure we all end up just being forgotten about while HTC expand there device list. I'd be happy with my old HTC Artermis/o2 xda now!

When my phone costs more them my pc, yes I do expect updates and support just like on my pc. My iPhone is always getting service updates and extra features.

If developers on forums can make 90% working 2.1 updates why cant htc?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Ahem - where do you think the majority of those updates were sourced from? HTC of course!

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mastermoon:
it's very strange.. the HTC Hero win the global mobile award SEE HERE

and they don't release a 2.1 update... i can't understand that...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
It is quite simple - they are not ready to release it yet. We don't know if the reasons for that are technical, political, or economic, but given that the Eris leaked ROM seems feature complete it is unlikely that it is technical.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that it is pretty much a done deal and it is probably in the hands of the carriers at the moment.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
It's no "a done deal" for the carriers to decide. If that were the case they'd already have an update online for those who bought a phone directly from HTC, not via a carrier.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
They are most likely just waiting until after the launch of the legend.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Who says? I would not be at all surprised if the carriers saw the "unbranded" 2.73 ROM prior to HTC releasing it on their website. The most feature complete 2.1 "leak" we've seen is not for a generic Hero, but a Verizon Droid Eris (which is essentially a carrier branded Hero) so it is pretty much self-evident that Verizon already have 2.1 in house.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
Well, I told you, (yeah you, Daan!!!), back when you posted about the release date for March that nothing has been officially said about the update.

You are part of the problem, mister. So are many others. You spread rumors, even present them as official news. Yes, maybe there was one guy in HTC support who just wanted to tell people more than "it'll come", but they all have NO IDEA. Support never really knows about things, they only know ways to fix common problems and can give you an address to send in your phone.

(Oh and we don't even know if those "screenshots of emails" are genuine.)

But nooo, people present everything they hear as FACT, online blogs pick it up, changing it into: 'HTC officially announced update for date XXX' and people get pissed at HTC.

While I also agree that HTC should finally get it done (don't tell me it's technical, they had been working on upgrades since autumn, they have the desire, legend and eris versions on 2.1; don't tell me it takes that long to get it working on the Hero) they have time until end of June 2010. That's at least what they said on twitter (will be released in 1. half of 2010). Interestignly the original announcement has disappeared.

But this link leads to THIS now:

But that's from December 18th. I have personally seen their original statement on December 17th about the Hero update in 1H2010, but it has been subsequently deleted.

I'm a little bit suspicious now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
Well, but you said it's now the decision of the carriers to release it... but that's not the case. HTC has control over it, as we can see with the Eris leak. The carriers haven't officially released the Eris update. They made a mistake and now some people have it. So that proves that if the carriers "wanted to" they could release it. But HTC tells them not to. So it's not in the hands of carriers to release it now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
No i didn't say that. I said:

When I said "in the hands of the carriers", I quite literally meant that they had the physical update, not that the decision to release the update is in their hands, though I can see where the misunderstanding stems from! ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berger34:
are we going to have to flash the original ROM back onto the Hero before we can upgrade to 2.1 (the official one coming from HTC in march) or can we just upgrade over our custom ROMs ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
We should just be able to update with whatever we are as the official roms do a full wipe automatically.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecastlefordkid:
Over at modaco, they're suggesting to hang fire with installing the official 2.1 ROM when it's released especially if you like to use custom ROMs

"Wait for a repacked version, the 2.1 update will likely ship with a perfected SPL and once you've flashed it, there may be no way back..."

:eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Yeah I would do that as it wipes your recovery image and they may not be able to find another way to flash it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djdavis:
thats what i was thinking, but then it depends whether you want to continue using custom roms or not
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
always good to keep that option there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaanJordaan:
There's a crack in everything right:p I wouldn't worry too much about flashing an original and not be able to flash a custom again. maybe it'll take some time but they'll crack it again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Or just wait the matter of hours it will take to release a rooted version of that rom anyway. It might even leak before the official does.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adwinp:
Just run the RUU, go to your %TEMP% directory, unzip update.zip, unyaffs system.img, and there you go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsixda:
Well, like adwinp said, just flash the "non-harmful" components of the actual shipped ROM, like the system.img. You don't want to flash the recovery.img, because it would overwrite your recovery menu (which allows you to restore a ROM). It's probably more convenient this way than to wait a few weeks for a root exploit.

You can fix those files with the superuser permissions and binaries for root access, and then repack it as a rooted shipped ROM. It's not too hard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibani:
In case of phone re-locked, may I use my goldcard ? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Don't see why not
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsixda:
Yeah I would actually like to see if this would work with 2.1, because this was the only way to make the Telus Heros get to root. I wonder if it is possible to block it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesterz:
Yes there are ways to block it, however i doubt that they will

As said before, (also by modaco Paul) wait with installing 2.1 until people repack it (so with a possible new SPL) and use that, obviously this is if you want to play around with the phone (root, use custom roms etc.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanPratt:
Brilliant....:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
Actually, I'm pretty sure you don't even need to run the RUU, and that a robust unarchiving program such as WinRAR can extract the files straight from the .exe.
[HD2 General] Chickinox:
I wish to know if other users may have encountered this minor problem ...

It happens from time to time that after pressing the left "telephone" button or soft-key, the numeric telephone keypad DOES NOT appear (i.e. it is impossible to compose new telephone numbers). The middle softkey does not work in these cases. A soft reset has sofar always fixed the problem. I have tried many possible solutions, but this problem always come back, usually 1-2 times a day.

Any help or advice?

Thank you very much

[HD2 General] mirroalex:
it happens with windows build 6.5.x and it is the problem of htc dialer with windows mobile new builds, as far as i know there isn't any solution for it yet just soft reset ... correct me please if i'm wrong!
[HD2 General] Lake292:
i use temporary solution which helps to recover dialer :D go on home... rotate landscape... rotate portrait and press call button and its there :D
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
Or you can just set the Phone App to auto rotate using something like BsBTweaks. That way it the phonepad messes up, you just tilt the phone one way and then back again and hey presto. Keypad back and working again. :D
[HD2 General] karnalta:
Hi all,

I just got my HTC HD 2 yesterday and I also ordered a 16Gb mini SD card with it. But I have a problem with the card.

When I go into memory statut it only show a 2gb card, should I format it into FAT 32 system or so ?

This morning I have updated the phone with the lastest ROM 1.66.406.1 but it doesn't help. Event when I connect it wia USB to my computer I only see 2gb of storage capacity.

Someone can help me please ?

Thank.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's a 2GB card mate. Get in touch with your supplier and send it back for a replacement.
[HD2 General] karnalta:
No I got a 2gb card in the package like everyone, but I have buy another 16gb card to have more space. I am using the 16 gb card in my phone, not the 2 gb one.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
yeah, the 16GB card is probably a 2GB one
[HD2 General] Archer:
But you only have 2GB on it, so it's a 2GB card. Ignore what's printed on the card. If it reads as 2GB then it is 2GB. Whoever you got the card off has sold you a duff card. You'll need to get them to replace it.
[HD2 General] xforcenl:
Check the front of the card, in my case it says 16GB.. so that would be easy to figure out if it's the wrong size delivered what I doubt ;)

FAT only goes till 2 or 4GB not sure, try formatting it to FAT32 :)

@johncmolyneux: If I format my 1TB HDD with FAT, my disc will come out as 2/4GB. So that means the vendor has given me the wrong HDD, despite the fact the label says 1TB? () That is my logic if I follow your logic :)
[HD2 General] karnalta:
Damn you are right, it's writted 2gb on it ...

EDIT :

I am a noob I have confused both of them lol. The 16 gb card is in my room at home lol.

Sorry and thank to you.
[General Questions and Answers] Garneth:
Is there a way to sync back from my HD2 Leo to Outlook when Outlook says it can't because the Outlook profile is different from the one used to setup with the Leo? I've 'lost' the .pst file from Outlook but my Leo holds all my up-to-date info and I'd like to restore that to Outlook.

I'm a bit of a numpty compared to most of you, so if there is way, step-by-step in plain English would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

[HD2 General] anor80:
Hello all, just found out yesterday that my external speaker of my hd2 is dead (the one used for ringtones and music).

Did all kind of stuff to get it fixed (software related) hard/soft reset, custom roms/official roms you name it.

My conclussion, my external speaker is broken. The device will be picked up tomorrow, to be send for repair.

But my question is is this a common thing or is this the first time anybody hear of this.

Btw i didn't use my hd2 a lot for listening to music, so i doubt i blew it up or something. Also didn't drop it the last few days orso, really weird.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It sounds like it was just a bad part. It's not common anyway. As far as I know, you're the only person on here that's reported it happening to them.

Good luck with the replacement, mate :)
[HD2 General] anor80:
Okay, hope it can be fixed under warranty :). Btw mine was of the first batch arrived in the Netherlands, 5-11-2009 i got mine.

Hope it doesn't take to long to repair and hopefully they repair it good, because the comments i see about the repair business aren't that good (Eurotwice)
