I was getting bored also until I started following Darchstar's Roms. I am really excited about his 2.1 aosp rom Its a fresh feeling after leaving sense. Give it a shot. :D
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
who cares if you're bored? If you don't like it get another phone or learn to hack.
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
Starting learning to do dev work. This forum is for sharing of information and knowledge of CDMA Hero.

Not how bored you are.
[Hero CDMA General] kniteshift:
If you're bored, get an iPhone.

You'll come crawling back in at least 48 hours...
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
+1 to trying darchstar's 2.1 AOSP. It's my favorite ROM right now, especially after removing some stuff I don't want. You can always start working out if you're bored too... try P90X.
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
can you be any more of an ASS ?

i wouldn't say i im getting board but coming from a windows mobile phone im use to having loads of roms and themes to work with
[Hero CDMA General] tom3k:
i miss my iphone every day. every hour. every minute.
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
its not so much he was being an ass (was it a little harsh yes) but I mean I kinda agree with what everyone is saying learn to do the stuff. I mean people are complaing that there arent enough roms to choose from so start making them. if I had the time right now to actually learn how to cook I would but I just dont have the time. So I wait paciently for the devs to do there voodoo.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
okay guys, i was just sorta bored yesterday. didn't mean to cause a ruckus, ill probably keep myself entertained when a fully working 2.1 rom comes out. and to the poster who said this section is only for development, your wrong, this is the hero general section as well.
[Hero CDMA General] flexte:
waiting patiently is boring.....and bored does not mean he isn't busy. I work 12 hrs a day 7 days a week and always bored but always busy. to the OP once the US gets a decent Winmo handset ill be going back. the only problem is the whole windows 7 series wont be able to compete with android out the door. so it will have to be a winmo 6.5 device for me.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
+1 on that

do something then!

in the time that this thread has existed, Ive managed to learn how to compile a kernel after making my own trivial changes to configurations and scripts .

(well, i have done this before with ubuntu...but i did learn a lot) this has now given me the confidence (or foolishness) to dig deeper and try my hand at other hardware troubleshooting...hack, read logs, patch, hack,read logs, patch

Its actually quite simple and very rewarding. I find the perceived difficulty of the processes are the hardest part for most people to get past. Try it! you'll see.

I have a full-time job too and it does get in the way, but hacking keeps me off the streets at nights (and sleeping enough hours). The time away is unbearable!! ;)

Bottom line-Why don't you try to learn or be helpful instead of filling up the forum with how you need a hug? Its easy and there is a f*ck-ton of info about this OS or linux customization in general. If you're bored, get to work!
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
I say what I believe, whether or not other people judge that to be the quality of an ass is up to them, and irrelevant to me.

Do work, quit whining or gtfo.

The person who is an ass is the one who whines about being bored with your phone when there are other people spending inordinate amounts of their free time working on getting things done.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
do work or get out? wow..what a mentality. :rolleyes: you know i love xda but some of you crack me up. some of us have no desire or the knowledge/time to learn these things.
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
Not do work or get out. Do work, stop whining, or get out. Pick one. If you don't want to dev then that's fine, but don't whine when there's not enough for the phone if you're not willing to help make it.

[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
I can understand what he's saying. I just came over from WinMo too and after having my Hero for a couple of weeks I can honestly say I'm not ever going back. I just added Swype (hmm...my account hasn't been verified evidently...Long time lurker. Heh. Anyhow, search the threads (there's a couple of links in the main section) for Swype and Swype light) to my phone (trust me, if you're into texting, or sending e-mails from your phone your boredom level will drop dramatically) and I'm in no way bored. :)

However, the WinMo world has literally hundreds of developers and hundreds of ROMs. Given that he's obviously reasonably new to Android, and probably used to flashing a new rom every week or so, it's understandable. As he said, he wasn't criticizing the devs...those guys bust their stones to get new stuff out and I personally appreciate it. I'm using Fresh 1.1 (rooted my phone about 10 minutes after I got it home) and am patiently waiting for an official rom based 2.1 to come out. In the meantime I explore the world of Android Market and XDA Developers for new stuff (like the afforementioned Swype) to play with. But as others mentioned, if you really are bored, try something that's only semi-functional and play with it for awhile. You won't be bored and can give bug tests to the devs at the same time. Win-win! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] c0v0c:
Hi Guys,

Basically I got 4 HD2's last week for my company and went to town chucking apps etc and registry tweaks from showthread.php?t=603880 (Leos Cab Repository)

Everything is fine except on my handset the volume up button doesnt seem to work?

It works fine on the other phones and mine (maybe I'm being paranoid!) seems to feel slightly different to the other handsets so is there a little app I can use to either map the buttons or test the input is working?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

EDIT

I guess this isnt a problem for anyone else so it almost certainly is a hardware issue, anyone know a button test prog, maybe I'll try an games emulator often they have the function?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mscureman:
I'd like to add a custom notification sound to the list of sounds available for "New text message" in the notification setting dialog. I found where those sounds are stored (not in "my ringtones", or any of the usual suspects, of course) when I had the original 6.1 ROM, but I just upgraded to the TMO 6.5 ROM last night, and I can't remember the directory these sounds are in. Exploring the Windows directory via ActiveSync takes f o r e v e r and I was hoping somebody here might know where those sounds are stored so that I can copy my custom notification sound there and have it added to the list of choices.

TIA

Mark

They go in the Windows directory its self.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mscureman:
You gotta be kidding me! Just checked and you're right. Leave it to me to try to make it more complicated than it had to be. Thanks for the help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
You can also put them in the root of the storage card. Put them there and the OS will find them and they persist through hard-resets and rom flashes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
Microsoft uses this location when installing sound packs and it's probably easier to manage than loading Windows folder every time.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] oziruz:
So, I got this 6800 from a friend of mine along with a 6700 ( with a very bad battery ), figuring that I am going to develop software for 6.0 I went with the 6800 for the Rom Upgrade. I had the original Qwest Rom on here

Software Version 2.13.656.2

Firmware Version 1.39.00

I went ahead and followed the Ryan Mogul Cricket flash info ( yes i plan to flash this to cricket also ) however sadly before I installed his cricket ROM, i went ahead and followed the instructions for the NUERom2_5049 and after the flash ( done via laptop/activesync connection ), the phone seemed to be bricked. I tried every trick in the book from using the 1G MicroSD card that I have with the ROm on it ( considering the 4G wouldnt work at all ), and couldnt get anywhere.

I also tried flashing Sprint/Alltel/VZW Roms without success, I finally came across the Stock Rom ( Upgrade ) frm Qwest, ran it from Laptop, worked like a charm.

OK now for the questions... Here is some quick info about the new rom. It is Software Version 3.35.656.2, and the Firmware Version is 3.37.20 . At this point I am considering a couple of options.

1. leave the working rom on here and just play with the registry, settings, software, etc.. to get my goal accomplished.

2. Flash this thing over to Ryans Cricket Rom for Mogul ( Hey Ryan if you read this... Is that compatible with the Qwest Mogul?) and go ahead and start the service.

3. Custom Rom, and find a way to get the Cricket info in there.

Also I am using PRL1039 from CK right now, working like a charm so far, I am also wondering if this unit will work on cricket as is if I change some settings.

Just a few things im trying to figure out right now. Along with the ability to get the device to become a Portable Hotspot/ Wireless Adapter ( I now finally have this working as an internet connection....Laptop to PPC via USB Cable, PPC to Netgear Router via WiFi, and im online! Thanks a bunch for anyone with any suggestions, I look forward to seeing what I can do with this device. Also I have the SPL 1040, should I chance it for Cricket?

Thanks in advance!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] RyanMogul:
First thing you want to do is re-do your PST settings to Cricket as the stock ROM changed all of that. Including unlocking your MSL/SPC code to all zeroes and loading a Cricket PRL on there. Follow my Cricket PST settings thread for that. Then you want to remove your memory card and boot up your current ROM into windows mobile and connect to active sync. Make sure its connected you should be able to access the files on the device through your computer and sync icon in taskbar will be green.

Now flash the unlocked bootloader Olipro2.40 exe. You can find that in my htc unlock tools directory on my share site, link provided in my PST settings thread.

After that is all said and done you can flash any Custom ROM including mine. If you use my Cricket ROMs all you have to do is activate the data connection and enter your 10digitnumber@mycricket.com, password cricket, blank domain, check save password. Done.

If you use someone elses NON cricket ROM you can always use my Cricket WAP or WAP and Arcsoft CABs to set up the Cricket information for you. Hope this helps.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] oziruz:
already redid the spl stuff, still cant seem to get the msl back to 000000 but i do have the correct one. Just got the unit working as a wireless adapter so thats a plus, i need to get this thing over to cricket next, so I can get my account set back up. right now using Skype for phone service sicne I have WiFi. I will try your rom again, Ryan , as soon as I get things going with this again. Thanks for the tips, they seem to be coming in very handy ( been googling your posts for help with this device ) I know the 6700 inside and out but the 6800 seems to be a new dog right now, been playign with it for a while, got alot figured out, but still more to learn. Thanks again
[Mogul, XV6800 General] oziruz:
ok just to update a bit, ive made a few slight changes, got a few new accessories, and tweaked out a few settings, however, all this and i still havent gotten the MSL back to 000000. Any ideas at all, tutorials, walkthroughs, hits, tips, tricks, or otherwise step-by-step directions so i can get that back to 000000 insead of the 6 digit code it is now, then maybe *2/228 will work and i can actually use the data features. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] BAttitude7689:
im currently running AOSP 1.6 rom with gbhil custom kernal with setcpu, I really wanna switch to a newer ROM im reading alot about.

1. flipz n toast 2.1 v1.8-7

2. darchstar Cyanogen (like) 2.0.1

3. darchstar AOSP 2.1

which seems to be the best ROM with the most features and close to everything working correctly?

What is everyone using?
[Hero CDMA General] lilzone:
Still using fresh 1.1 Rom, going to try darchstar's AOSP 2.1 today. I will post when finished and let you know how it goes.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i won't use any 2.1 rom until the official comes out.
[Hero CDMA General] REDFOCZ:
Now that multi touch and open gl is out thanks to toast, the sense 2.1 build has everything but the camara , mms receive at least for me it isnt working, and vvm

But I like the cyogen like 2.0.1 build a lot
[Hero CDMA General] Sirchuk:
I'm having problems in all of 'em. I like the live wallpapers, market, and maps of the AOSP 2.1, but there are quite a few bugs of things working then not working, then crashing, then working a little.

The Sense 2.1 is kinda nice, but no paid apps in the market and no live wallpapers.

I like the browser in AOSP more than the sense browser.

I haven't tried the 2.0 yet.

I don't think any of 'em are ready for prime-time. They're need, but all have critical issues.
[Hero CDMA General] ro_bro:
official 2.1 is coming out soon, so I don't see much motivation to go for a custom 2.1 ROM.
[Hero CDMA General] lilzone:
Using darchstar's 2.1 right now and it is really fast!! The camera not to big of a deal(not working), But other than that should really give it a test try!!
[Hero CDMA General] kel_o91:
The date of release for sprint/htc 2.1 was pushed to 2H2010.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I'm using *LOOK IN SIG* right now. works great!
[Hero CDMA General] Darkshneider:
Really? I thought it was 1H2010 and then 2Q2010, which is practically the same damn thing....
[Hero CDMA General] Sirchuk:
Aye, he's wrong, it's 2Q. I think I heard that sprint said it should be out next month.
[Hero CDMA General] coldsweat:
nah, it was officially set at 2Q2010, which should be not too far off.

I agree with others, despite the massive amounts of work going into getting the kernels and roms working correctly, I will wait untill the official 2.1 as well...
[Hero CDMA General] menzo44:
wow either no one else here is trying Darchstar's 2.1 or 2.01 or im just lucky. I think his 2.1 is the best rom out, and I am including all the 1.5 and 1.6 roms in argument. Its my everyday rom, and I am a HEAVY user.
[Hero CDMA General] Darkshneider:
No camera = deal breaker for some.
[Hero CDMA General] tyrnight:
no mms.. deal breaker.. But I use Sprint PIcture messaging website to get the missing pictures.. lol... and so I still use Darch's 2.1
[Hero CDMA General] toastcfh:
the main purpose of the eclair i dev for is actually hopes of getting all hardware working in eclair with a .27 kernel. with that being said once sprint releases a 2.1 build for us we will be able to use a custom kernel in it. allowing for mods that extend beyond the build itself. the gsm hero devs know about this advantage as the .29 kernel they have runs slower then their .27 kernel in the builds. ive actually been passing my work on to lox as we fix things. trying to get them closer to a fully working 2.x build with .27 kernel under the hood also. all the 2.x builds will be buggy until we get atleast one official one to nab apps from and such. im thinking of the future right now. when sprint releases a rom and everyones pissed about source again. plus what we learn now will help us all later. i cant say one build is better then another. i guess its if u like sinse or aosp. or want this but not that. to me im just glad we are as far as we are. think about this... the dream guys dont even have opengl (as dream devs have come already looking to use our work) in their 2.x builds and the camera is half baked. also multitouch is a app hack. we have all but camera supported in a little .27 kernel and weve only had source for a few months. most said we wouldntve gotten this far in such little time. but we proved them all wrong.
[Hero CDMA General] kniteshift:
I have been happy with every rom that I've found on this forum.

Gumbo 1.5c was the first I tried, and it was great. Some minor lag issues, but everything worked.

Now using toast + flips 2.1, and it's amazing. I miss my camera, but I'm not going to complain about it, because having multi touch and the consistency of how the phone runs is whats doing it for me. Thank god, I don't have to wait until Sprint releases one!
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
No offense to toast or anyone working on the 2.1 Sense ROM, but I tried it, and for me, it just didn't feel right. It was somehwat fast, but it did have moments of lag. Also, I didn't like all of the HTC stuff that came with it. I flashed darchstar's 2.1 AOSP, and WOW. It hit the spot. It's snappy because of the AOSP, and it has nothing "junky" in it. All I've done is flashed the HTC keyboard to it, and now it's wonderful :) Snappy, 2.1, AOSP, it's great. I don't really care about the live wallpapers, althought the Duck Hunt one was pretty nice.
[Hero CDMA General] ajaholic:
Can we access picture mail from our phone browser and how do you know when you get a new message?
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I'd like to throw it out there that after removing HtcCopyright.apk from darchstar's 2.1 AOSP, I've gotten rid of a lot, if not all, lag from the ROM. The speed also got ridiculously faster.
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
I don't think HtcCopyright.apk really changed much, it's only 4.5 kb after all.
[Hero CDMA General] rogerbean101:
i got sprint! how do i get the pictures? lol i been trying to figure that out
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Maybe it's been a collaborative effect by removing all the apps, but ever since I removed HtcCopyright.apk, the phone was noticeably faster. Since I'm on a roll, I just deleted LatinIME.apk, and no stability issues. Note that I DID install HTC_IME.apk :)
[Hero CDMA General] TheBiles:
Has the Market been fixed in any of the 2.x versions so that paid apps show?
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
from the aosp 2.1 thread
[Hero CDMA General] TheBiles:
Oh sweet! I will most likely try it out tonight then! :D
[Hero CDMA General] PRGUY85:
Any chance you have a version of the ROM you are currently using without all the apps you say cause Lag? Or make a list or something?
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
Are you guys really seeing that much considerable lag in the rom? if so i can do some cleaning up for you guys when i upload the update based on cyanogen sources
[Hero CDMA General] TheBiles:
How do you remove this?
[Hero CDMA General] toastcfh:
no man. like ive said... its an opinion of aosp and htc builds. i know some whoe just take my build and strip it for all its worth and use what they want and some who are more then happy with whats in it. the rom started out as a simple make it work ordeal. now its actually become something others run everyday. im glad we have more devs working on different builds. it makes for more options. the only things i see messed up is comparing apples to oranges (aosp to htc builds). of course one has more then the other. of course one has more apps then another. its more of a question of what kinda android do u like. then what build is better then the other.

Hi, I'm from Argentina and I bought a used G1, and I need to know if it is from the USA. Now, it's from T-mobile, does that guarantee me it's from the US?

Also, it has DRC83. As I have read (though there's not much info about that build), it is rooteable, so I'm wondering, what's the easiest way of doing it? I read a couple of guides, but there are so many methods I get lost.

As I understand it, the hardware across all "tmobile" branded devices is identical, except for possibly a minor change in the button layout for languages other than english.

In other words, it doesn't matter.

Root it, install engineering bootloader, and you're all set.

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is any app around that does the work of an answering machine. An app that will probably answer the call after a specific amount of rings and save the callers' message on the SD card. This was an idea I got from a few years ago when we were discussion open software for cellphones. I'd love to know if it's already been done.

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [Jules]:
I haven't seen any such app yet. The apps mentioned in this thread are different.

What is asked for is a voicemail on the phone itself, not any 3rd party who stores your voicemail for you, after which you can download it.

No, what is asked for is an actual app on the phone that actually functions as a voicemail/answering machine and stores the voicemail directly on the sd card. Without redirecting the call to a 3rd party, and without requiring an internet connection anywhere in the process from accepting the voicemail to playing the voicemail.

But there is no such app, to my knowledge.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linophryne:
A stand-alone app like this would be pretty sweet actually. I think the phone providers would be a little ticked if someone were to write an app like this. I would buy it as i don't subscribe to an answering service on my cell (separate monthly charge for my plan.) Most of these 3rd party (cloud) services don't work in my region.
