[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
Im pretty sure this is not a 2.1 build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dsixda:
Ok, then good thing I didn't waste my time flashing it then. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
its a 1.5 build, there isnt a 2.1 RUU out yet as it was only released OTA
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cTnko:
on the different topic, judging from the youtube video posted there is something similar to live wallpapers ? (i mean that nice animation after he unlocked his device)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elDD2mxE4ak&feature=player_embedded#
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
then someone needs to make a dump ASAP! :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
That's the weather animation!

Similar to the one found on the HD2 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i think it is snow from the clock/weather wideget. in one of the other videos you can see the windscreen wiper wiping the homescreen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cTnko:
oh, now i want the new rom even more !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dsixda:
Damn, that weather animation on the homescreen is awesome. There are days where I wake up late, forget to look at the weather on the homescreen clock, and I go outside and it's pouring snow. When I had my Touch HD + cooked ROM, it would show the snow actually falling down your screen (so you *notice* the weather) :D .. It was a nice touch but also a

useful

addition.

BTW I'm just too lazy to get out of bed to look out the window ;)

So is it really part of the ROM in this thread?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
As far as I can tell, the file in this thread is just an OTA that came out a little while ago. So far the only reports of it arriving OTA, and the only guy I've spoken to who claims to have it isn't very tech savy at all. He is either a pretty good actor, or just genuinely confused about what has happened to his phone, and I doubt he would be able to give us a dump of his phone ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zifnab06:
MR2 is 1.5. It was released the end of January

Can I get a mod to move this to the Droid Eris forum? (Just to stop the incoming wave of OMG ERIS ISN"T A HERO spam again). Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I think it would be complete bulls*** if they gave the Eris the 2.1 update b4 us GSM Hero owners we have had are phones just a little bit longer than the Eris owners have IMO
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
I guess this is the same as you already have?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melih43:
I downloaded and here its build.pro
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fallos:
just wait for 2 weeks and official 2.1 rom will be in your phone :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ilbulgaro89:
I hope you're right
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Well, the build prop states it's 2.1, and was created Fri 29th Jan... but build props can be faked

Further poking is required

EDIT: Build prop also states it's for the Droid, not for the eris...

EDIT 2: It doesn't contain any Rosie files, so this certainly isn't for the Eris and isn't the one we have been seeing in the videos
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
Have you got a source for that?

Last I heard it was due out early Q2, and supposedly similar time to Legend release in April
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] helderp:
Just by taking a quick glance at the build.prop posted here:

ro.product.model=Droid

ro.product.brand=verizon

ro.product.name=voles

ro.product.device=sholes

ro.product.board=sholes

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola

I guess this update is not for the Droid Eris, but for the Motorolla Droid
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberkid2002:
Looking at the info posted for the second link it looks like its for the moto droid, not the Eris. Given that people are saying the update doesn't have sense and breaks lots of stuff is it possible Verizon released an ota update for the wrong device?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Confirmed, this a leak for the Droid, not for the Eris. Her is the source of the leak:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmcphisto77:
Well, we have a bunch of roms for hour HERO, in one rom the camera works at 5mpx, in another at 3.

We've opengl working and not working.

In another rom we have Sense UI, in another we don't have it...

So, why don't you unify all those efforts and create a unique rom with

camera working

sense/non-sense (2 version of the same rom)

And all other stuff???

Is this idea so bad?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
They are all based on different Kernals (the basis of the rom) so therefore they are built up differently leading to different things working and not working.

It may be possible to get everything working but certainly would nto be a quick and easy task.

Best thing to do is think of what you regularly use and pick whatever 2.1 rom suits your needs until we get a fully working 2.1 dump.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmcphisto77:
I think, at this point, i'll wait for a HTC official update, and i'll keep using Exit93 roms...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] [xstream]:
I second that.

As a fairly long time xda-user i often find it frustrating to find a good rom for my phone.

Just the other day i got my hero and this time there seems to be slightly fewer roms floating around but it's still pretty hard to find a suitable one.

I think alot of us have a good idea of what exactly we want and alot of roms have a bunch of stuff we really dont care about as much as the chef.

What i would really appreciate is a clean rom with a repository of optional components, i don't mind there being a chinese keyboard, but please make it optional.

If i could i would love to get in to the cooking game, i've thought about it several times over the last few years. Alas, i don't know where to start, at least not with Hero.

If anyone can point me to a good starting place i would love to give it a try and make the rom im talking about.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
i believe CKDroid is the one for you. it comes with a small kitchen (windows only) to enable you to customize the rom. it's quite stable too ;)

also ... look here for a start to your cooking career.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
this is wrong. all the 2.1 roms are based on the exact same kernel from the only leaked 2.1 rom we have. as soon as the sources are out a lot will change, but until then the kernel is one of the biggest limitations.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I was sure that the sense based 2.1 roms and the normal android 2.1 roms were based on different sources.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
kernel != rom

there is only one binary 2.6.29 kernel for the 2.1 roms. compare the roms, you will see that the kernel is always:

2.6.29-8d063048
htc-kernel@and18-2

even if some (one) devs try to make it look like they have a custom kernel...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
ok didn't know that. thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
There is only one set of freely available source code for Android 2.1 and that is the AOSP version. Note that this is quite distinct from the kernel source code, and is license separately.

For the most part, the Sense-based 2.1 ROMs will be using precompiled elements taken from leaked HTC ROMs, though may have some AOSP elements too.

When HTC do finally release 2.1 for Hero, they must then make the kernel source code as per the terms of the GPL. However, HTC do not ever have to release the source code for their version of Android because the Apache Software Licence (ASL) that Google released Android under is not a copyleft license.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Always learning...

Thanks ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nemo0815:
None of the current 2.1 ROMS is worth using, they're all just useful for experiments with Android 2.1 - no more than that.

I'm happy with MCR 3.1 so far, it's fast stable, working and relyable, nothing of that could be said of any 2.1 custom ROM so far. So please wait 2 or 3 more weeks until we finally get a real working 2.1 ROM from HTC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
That's just your opinion :)

VillianRom is currently offering me everything I need to use in a ROM with no issues at all.

Sure some people have problem with different roms but thats because everyone has different needs and uses with their devices.
[HD2 General] singcheng:
I have a chinese language support cab installed and my Region is now set to "Chinese (people's republic of china)" instead of "English (U.S.).

Now, my date format for mmm is no longer "Feb" but "二月" (feb in chinese) for all date settings (including HOME tab).

Is there anyway to keep my Region as "chinese (people's republic of china)" but having my month as "FEB" and day as "Monday", "Tuesday" etc, rather than being translated into chinese?

sorry for my bad english :p
[HD2 General] singcheng:
noone has the answer?
[HD2 General] wingm4n:
I've been following the developments on the recent radios, including the 2.08.50.08_2 radio thread and i must say i'm very confused. I am under the impression this is a TMOUS radio and from what i gather, TMOUS hardware is not the same as the original leo,

especially the radio hardware

. And yet i see all these people eager to flash their original leos with these new radios.

My question is: do we know for a fact that these radios developed for TMOUS are being developed with backward-compatibility with the original leo hardware? Is it not risky to flash our phones to run radio software against hardware it is not developed for?
[HD2 General] pencilcase:
its the same phone... so same hardware.
[HD2 General] ardsar:
that would explain the poor audio quality i get with radios 2.07 or above. However only a few people seem to have this problem. Others report good quality, reception and battery life.
[HD2 General] wingm4n:
It would be nice to throw in a link or two of sources that state that the T8585 and T9193 have exactly the same hardware, otherwise it's just your opinion.

T8585 runs on 850MHz while T9193 runs on 900MHz, how do we know TMOUS radios are compatible with our original leo's 850MHz working frequency?
[HD2 General] wingm4n:
Also if some mod could move this to the general forum, i just realized i posted it in the ROM forum.
[HD2 General] gianton:
very good question. would like to know that too.
[HD2 General] thumpabar:
It's the other way around...the T8585 runs at 900/2100Mhz and the T9193 runs at 850/2100Mhz otherwise I believe they are identical (no proof, just what i've read).
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
I'm using 2.08.50.08_2 on my UK HD2 and it works fine, battery life seems better so it's all good!!
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
same here! battery life is definately much improved with this radio.
[HD2 General] romac:
The fact that those who have flashed to radio 2.08 have been able to with no loss in quality and improved battery life.
[HD2 General] gianton:
some have reported higher temp from the back of their devices. :confused:
[HD2 General] wingm4n:
look i'm not saying that it doesn't work or even that it probably doesn't, i'm just wondering if all these good folks flash it because they know it's the same hardware or because they assume so
[HD2 General] TartanArmy:
I flashed to 2.08 on a UK Leo knowing if it didnt work i could always go back to previous radio. The decision was not hardware related
[HD2 General] ardsar:
not true in all cases!
[HD2 General] Starfury:
The physical transceiver in the US release may be different but that doesn't matter to the Radio stack software that these guys are flashing
[HD2 General] wingm4n:
english please? :D
[HD2 General] gianton:
what makes you say that, pls explain.
[HD2 General] ardsar:
Radio antenna's have to be "tuned" to the required frequency bands in order to optimise performance. This is usually done by changing the physical length of the antenna and/or using different passband filters.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Ever take an old radio apart? there are (usually) square metal blocks with what looks like a screw head in the top. That can be twisted to alter the working frequency, the rest of the radio doesn't need to be rebuilt/programmed for it to work. Same when Channel 5 started in the UK, they emplyed loads of people to twist a small screw in the back of VCR's to retune them.

Same with the radio's in our HD2s, the hardware will be the same in each unit, just the frequencies pre set differently. The radio stack shouldnt make any difference from one unit to the next, (except of course the internal operation of the stack, , battery life, etc)
[HD2 General] wingm4n:
sorry for dumb question but are you saying that TMOUS roms will work just fine on T8585?
[HD2 General] Ibb1982:
I'm using 2.08.50.08_2 on my UK HD2 and it works fine it terms of battery life and reception. However the voice quality is hit or miss, seems to be different from mobile or landline calls, either way both are extremely quiet, to the point I can hardly hear the person I'm on a call with.

Just got this:

Ex-Microsoft Employee Likens Windows Phone 7 To Vista

By Kevin McLaughlin, ChannelWeb

6:42 PM EST Tue. Feb. 16, 2010 Windows Phone 7 has been greeted with largely positive reviews, but one former Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) employee has struck an ominous chord by comparing it to Windows Vista.

In a Monday blog post, Scott Barnes, a former Microsoft product manager for Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight, and now a user experience specialist with Melbourne, Australia-based development firm Readify.net, said Windows Phone 7 is an example of Microsoft trying too hard to create a device that is the opposite of the iPhone.

While the simple Windows Phone 7 user experience will let Microsoft react quickly to mobile market conditions, the delays along the road to Windows Phone 7, and the urgency that Microsoft faced in getting it out the door are reminiscent of the situation that existed before Vista's launch, according to Barnes.

"For me, this is the Windows Vista launch, as after some code resets and downward pressure from above, this is almost exactly the same internal conditions Windows Vista team had before their launch," Barnes wrote in the blog post. During this time, the message from Microsoft management was "get it to market, get it fast and we'll come back around for the bits we wanted to put in place," Barnes wrote.

In light of the repeated delays that both Windows Phone 7 and Vista encountered on their way to market, Barnes' analogy makes sense. But the situation Microsoft faces with Windows Phone 7 is also similar to the one it faced with Windows 7: In both cases, the new releases followed unpopular products that frustrated partners and customers and led them to consider alternatives.

With Windows 7, Microsoft was able to show that Vista was an aberration, and company officials have taken full advantage of the opportunity to talk about the great things that happen when Microsoft and its partner ecosystem are communicating closely.

With Windows Phone 7, Microsoft will have a chance to show it's capable of developing a mobile OS that's vital and fun, something that consumers will crave. But that's actually a far greater challenge for Microsoft, because these are the last descriptions that come to mind when describing Windows Mobile 6.5.
[HD2 General] H3ALY:
Is it possiable to disable notifications one specifically:

Main reason being when im using CO-Pilot it will throw up this covering majority of the screen in land scape.
[HD2 General] creed:
Yeah same here. It's very annoying! Using Tom Tom and it locks up at a vital moment because of the stupid notifications. Also freezes up other programs when it does it regularly.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Smobbo:
Hi everyone,

I've been looking for an alternative to Active Sync for quite some time, but I'm unable to find one.

My problem is this: I sync my google calendar and contacts through Active Sync, but it very (very!) often says that 'there has been a changed made on the server' which means i have to resync everything... This also requires a manual response (i have to press ok or cancel), which means it won't sync without me doing something.

Does anyone know a solution to this problem, either in Active Sync or by proposing an alternative to Active Sync?

I would be very(!) gratefull :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] noofny:
I only just started using ActiveSync with Google to sync contacts/calendar/email...but so far I am happy and do not receive the popup you say you have. Am running a DannyTech Evo 6.5.x rom.
[HD2 General] Zhuk86:
Hi Guys,

Going to the US for a few weeks, just wondering if I can get a prepaid simcard to work with my HD2 and if so what company would support it. I'm guessing mobile internet is out of the question, but as long as I could make voice calls i'd be happy.

Zhuk86
[HD2 General] chribruu:
There are probably several prepaid solutions over there too. Who has the best coverage (and price) where you are going I don't know, but you will most likely be able to use EDGE for data.
[HD2 General] Zhuk86:
that sounds great, i'll be in LA and NY mostly, so i'll definitely search around for EDGE providers there :)
[HD2 General] DuoM:
You choices are basically T-Mobile or AT&T (there are some MVNO's running on those networks but I wouldn't bother with them).

T-Mobile don't' do Data on Prepaid, except for the Sidekick. AT&T do data either $0.01 per KB or there are bundles: 100MB for $19.99 or 1MB for $4.99. You will only get EDGE with the HD2 in the USA.

You need to check coverage for wherever you're planning on going for both networks.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
There are loads of free WiFi hotspots. I would use them for data connections.
[HD2 General] Timothye:
i am also going to the USA for a few weeks , i have this question as well . i'll be in the west coast of the USA

free wifi shouldnt be a problem , i would guess , but who knows !?=

but i would also like to know who has the best coverage and data . email , calls and the rest .

i have heard thru cnet and many many people thathave AT&T in the USA say they are just trash , is this true ?

thanks
[HD2 General] Zhuk86:
Well maybe i'll just get a prepaid sim for calls and then use wifi hotspots for data, i've heard that wifi hotspots are pretty prolific in US cities so definitely worth checking out I guess :)
[HD2 General] kevindena:
I would go with an AT&T pre paid SIM card. Look on ebay, here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-3G-AT-T-64k-Orange-Sim-Card-Chip-Prepaid-or-Regular_W0QQitemZ300397838597QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSIM_Cards?hash=item45f11b4105

Once you get that card go to: https://www.wireless.att.com/activations/ and choose the option for Pay-As-You-Go Under "Go Phone" and follow the instructions.

Hello

I use BSB Tweaks to change what the Manila left soft key should do. I would like for the left softkey to launch Opera but for some strange reason that doesn't seem to work. The button will show the text "Google" which is my homepage but when I press it nothing happens. Anyone knows what to do?

Brgds... /TubGirl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Tubgirl:
Just to know if it's possible or not...

Is anyone here able to launch Opera from their left softkey?

Brgds... /TubGirl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
It works for me Tubs, but I'm using Opera 10. I guess you're using Opera 9?

If you're having trouble doing it with BsB, maybe you'd have more luck just editing the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila:HomeLSKPath = \Windows\OperaL.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila:HomeLSKText = Opera
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xLAMBIEx:
nothng ive put there seems to work. may have to use the edit above to fix my problem.

thanx.
