[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
I put together a website to host all of the current Eris ROM's from all rom developers in one central location, without having to deal with all that MegaUpload, etc crap. :)

http://android.grdlock.net

You can find everything you need here.

ROM makers: You're free to use my site to host your ROM files. Just create an account on the site and join the IRC chatroom (irc.thefuzz4.net, irc.wastated.net, irc.zifnab06.net) and ask zifnab or Jamezelle for upload permissions. The only thing I ask is please don't provide the direct link to your file, give out the link to your folder instead. :)

I'll be gone all summer long so if you PM me don't expect a response. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] AOD13:
Nice site. And it's really nice to have all the downloads in one place.

Thank you GrdLock!! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] mckswk:
does the phone have to be rooted to add live wall papers

does the eris have to be rooted to add live wall papers

Thank you GrdLock!! :D[/QUOTE]
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
Yes it has to be rooted for live wallpapers. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] JoeBRALTER:
Thanx

Thank you for the convienent "One Stop Shop" should make finding Roms alot easier:cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] mush2699:
Well done! Do I hear Sticky?
[Droid Eris Android Development] stormtrader:
Yery nice and convienent . Thank You for your site, and all the work you have put into making this available to us.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok i have a question ,, i am using the legend rom ,, i just downloaded the live wallpaper signed zip ,, i installed it i find the live wallpaper option but it wont launch even the cube wallpapers ,, am i doing something wrong ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rom116:
Cannot download

I cannot download anything. The file acts as if it's going to download, but as soon as the progress bar comes up it finishes instantly and the file size is 138kb. I have tried downloading both the Sense able ROM and the Eris Radio, same outcome for both.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
This is NOT the place for these posts. Start a new thread, or visit irc.thrfuzz4.net #droideris on IRC and ask their.

I vote sticky, Thank you GrdLock!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
sticky ? what does that mean ? im new to all this and was just asking a question , im sorry didnt mean to offend anyone
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
What browser are you using?

The site is tested and working in Linux (Chrome/Firefox) and Windows (IE8/Firefox/Chrome)

Probably an issue with a firewall or your browser settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
"I vote sticky" means I think we should make this thread a sticky so it stays at the top of our forums for all to see, wasn't referring to you. And don't worry, no ones offended. Its just that this thread was started to post the website hosting all eris ROMS by GrdLock, not to walk people through live wallpaper patch installs.

Just start your own new thread to ask the question and people will be much more inclined to help. :)

Download issues

I was using internet explorer (I think 8) I retried using Firefox and I think it's working now, thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rom116:
Download issues

OK, I am using Firefox now and nothing will download over 70 MB, it downloads until about 67-70 MB and then finishes incomplete???
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
Im on Windows 7 Ultimate downloading with firefox, and after 2 tries, the root rom corrupted on download both times. MD5 is not matching up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
I'm not sure what might be causing that issue for ya'll. I successfully downloaded files using 5 different browsers on my linux box and Windows virtual machine, as well as Firefox and IE on an actual Windows computer, i downloaded a rom using my phone, and went to the apartment office's business center and used one of their old ass computers with horrible internet and the rom still downloaded fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] denonlake:
ME TOO

I am having the same issue, tried from work and thought it was the firewall, got home tried on windows and ubunutu VM, stops at 68.8M everytime???:confused:

Should of added, i am trying to D/L the sensable rom havent tried others yet
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
Hmm, that file downloads perfectly fine for me. I got two people in the IRC room to download the Sense-Able rom and it went perfectly fine for them as well.

I'll submit a ticket to my webhost though. If people are having download issues then they need to fix whatever's causing them. :) I'll post back when I hear back from them. I upgraded my hosting package just to accommodate the bandwidth to host this stuff.

So far I'm counting 3 people who have download issues? If anyone else has problems please let me know so I can tell my webhost.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
NICE!

mind if i use this link on the site i mod for?

u can see the site in my sig

..or better yet, u can join and post it urself..

either way..let me know!

Hi

I ordered mine from Clove few days back, but yesterday luckily I got Desire on PAYG from Carphone Warehouse... So today I called Clove 2 cancel my contract, I just asked Sale Person that when r u guys getting ur stock now as CPW have unlocked stock? He said HTC will (directly) send them a bigger stock from mid-next-week...

And also he went on 2 say that Clove have been told from HTC that the unlocked stock from CPW have some software problem AND ANY ONE WHO GOT DESIRE FROM THEM MAY HAVE 2 RETURN IT BACK 2 THEM 2 B REPLACED WITH THE NEW DESIRE (which HTC will send them mid-next-week)...

I am worried 2 hear that because mine is PAYG on Orange from CPW & the CPW person said that Orange don't have phones return policy... So if this is true,,, are we (unlocked desire owners) in trouble???

K7
[Desire General] irkan:
worst case scenario they will flash the newer ROM to your desire, IMO (that is if there is anything wrong with it)
[Desire General] nubbin:
Mine works fine :D

Could be a bit of doublespeak from Clove, as they and other online sellers appear to be losing money hand over fist as people cancel their pre-orders and go to....yep, you guessed it, CPW! I'll worry when a bug is identified and appeares on my phone...
[Desire General] Rusty!:
If there is a software fault then it would be fixed by an OTA update. Recall my arse.
[Desire General] K 7:
Yea... quite agree-able point here. If HTC told them that CPW stock had some software issues they would definitely have told CPW 2 stop selling their current stock and wait 4 new stock from them 2 arrive (as selling problematic phones will harm HTC's name)....my point of view...
[Desire General] Coatezy:
How much are cpw selling them pay as you go for!?
[Desire General] mhewitson:
Even if there was a fault, CPW as the seller would be obliged to rectify for you by either updating te ROM, or replacing.

we are protected, in the UK, by The Sale of Goods act 1979
[Desire General] EddLeicester:
Mine arrived from CPW on Monday and I have only experienced issues with mobile network access.

Neither my old Vodafone nor my new T-Mobile SIMs can connect to 3G/HSDPA using any of the APN configurations pre-configured on the phone.

I have successfully got the Vodafone one working using settings from the internet, but am still to find working one for T-Mobile.

Another thing I noticed that was wrong was that when I selected T-Mobile in the setup wizard, a Virgin Mobile scene was added with the web browser home-page set to Virgin.

I am hoping that the replacement firmware will fix this but I will hang on to the phone and flash it myself when it becomes available.

Edd.
[Desire General] O and O:
HA!

If there was really a problem it is likely HTC would have made it known to everyone, most likely it is a software issue, I don't think I've heard of HTC having bad hardware batches like Nokia so we should all be fine.
[Desire General] K 7:
£399.99 + £10 topup = £410/-
[Desire General] hassan:
Bull sh*t clame from Clove to put peoples off from CPW thats all.:mad:
[Desire General] s4vva:
Are the handsets from CPW network locked?
[Desire General] n-j-f:
No! They use the same phones on any contract or PAYG or simfree sale.
[Desire General] oawalker:
When i first boo the phone it shows the update icon so i think it did an OTA update so if there was any problems it should be fixed
[Desire General] s4vva:
ok thanks, just a couple more questions;

Any network branding in the OS?

Is the software the pre-release software like on the t-mobile handsets?

Same 2 year warranty from HTC like when purchasing from Handtec?
[Desire General] mhewitson:
AFAIK there has not been an OTA update released yet.
[Desire General] irkan:
I was wondering about that, handful number of members mentioned that, i did not know that Android handles this kind of thing (OTA Updates), does it?
[Desire General] LittleMiss27:
No network branding at all

Not pre release software afaik

All HTC handsets have a 2 year warranty
[Desire General] s4vva:
Thank you, cancelling my handtec order and on my way to cpw! (not in that order).

edit: just noticed it's the brown one, think I would rather wait for my graphite one from handtec.
[Desire General] carrige:
Check this out to confirm, but I'm pretty sure that graphite == brown in this case.
[Desire General] s4vva:
Hi I am not so sure as I have seen pictures where they look different (but not side by side so I could be wrong), there is a massive thread about it on here somewhere.
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Android has supported OTA updates since the beginning.
[Desire General] Cronnie:
Yeah cancelled my order with Handtec, will be picking one up from CPW tomorrow morning.
[Desire General] roybert:
I received my HTC Desire from CPW yesterday on a T-Mobile contract, the phone was free on a 24mth £30 per month contract. The phone already had about 50% charge so I fully recharged it until the light was green which took about just over 1 hour. I started learning the phone at about 7.30pm last night, I downloaded quite few free apps and went onto the internet plus I surfed lots of other things on the phone, I was up until 4.30am this morning getting myself familiar with most of what the phone has to offer. The battery was just about drained when I put it back on charge overnight, I have had or not seen any issues yet, so up till now I really like this phone, I'm only recently new to smartphones and dont actually know anything at all technically about the in's and out's of them, but I know I'll learn a lot from this great forum.

Thanks

Roybert
[Desire General] adventure1001:
CPW policy regarding faulty handsets

I work for CPW and we HAVE NOT been told by HTC that our stock is faulty. This i mearly a scare tactic as mentioned earlier in thread.

Our policy:

Any handset bought on any network that develops a fault within the first 28 days of purchase will be exchanged like for like with NEW stock not refurbished.

Hope this clarify's things a bit
[Desire General] fowler002:
I got mine from cpw yesterday(30th) on orange payg(didn't have to pay the £10 for new sim + topup as the guy did it as an 'upgrade' as I have orange payg already).

one issue was he told me I can return it with in 14days, but reading on the cpw website that is clearly not true, the guy saying they had a 14 day return policy was the reason I decided to take the risk and go for it(if he's said no return/exchange then I'd have had to think about it).

adventure if I try returning it will I get laughed out the door, or as I was given mis-information they'd hounour it? I currently don't plan to return it(unless they're a fault or it breaks down of course), but I might change my mind in the next 12days.

I've already installed some apps on it, including wavesecure as it gives a free lifetime licence for those who have downloaded before midnight today(31st march). if I was to get a new handset/replacement in the future will I have to pay the $19.99 for a new licence or will they transfer it(especially if the current one develops a fault/is stolen which means it has to be replaced).
[Desire General] HoneyBeFly:
From the website you can still use the WaveSecure on a new phone so long you are using the same SIM card, Just install WaveSecure on your new handset and use your existing username and pin.
[Desire General] mouyias:
Are the pay as you go versions Branded(sim locked) or do they work with any sim t-miobile or Vodafone?

Vodafone and O2 sell unlocked phones at times, but i am not 100% sure wether it applies to this one...can anyone confirm this?
[Desire General] Coatezy:
I purchased mine with an Orange sim from cpw (which they have since refunded the tender top up) I now have my o2 iPhone sim in there.. also yes totaly unbranded.
[Desire General] adventure1001:
It would be at the mangers discretion to honour anything said outside of company policy, would depend on the reason.

As for the app if you have a lifetime licence you would not need to pay again.

None of CPW stock is branded just got mine from work today, got home and found that Paul has rooted it allready:)
[Desire General] maplebank:
I went in to my local CPW this afternoon simply to look at the handset and they let me try a demo unit which was great.

Then went into the T-Mobile shop, which was right next door just so I could compare the price plans.

However, as there were no Desire's to be seen I asked if they had any and was told they did have some in stock but as of lunch time today they had been told to take them off display as all of the T-Mobile units have to be returned to HTC due to a software problem.

What gives?
[Desire General] pee_cee:
I've had mine since Tuesday evening, and the only problem i've had with it is that I can't put it down, and my gf is feeling neglected!! haha

I've had one OTA update today, no noticable difference though. I've moved from a Nokia N80 to this so I'm loving everything about it.
[Desire General] Lats:
LOL...I am having exactly the same problem here.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
hey is it possible to flash Android to NAND?

jk lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
hahahaha you actually had me going there
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
lol, if threads like tatni's faq and others were stickied, we would probably be alot better off.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
If tatnai's thread was stickied, this forum would hardly exist anymore haha
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i added a whole bunch of stuff to the first post. how can we get this stickied?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
I think you need to add things like:

If you want a stable Android 1.6, Then you will want myns warm donut

If you want a stable Android 2.1, Then you will want mssmison's eclair

ect....

Say what things like crobs tutorial is (nand install instructions)

lay it out nicer instead of it being in a paragraph. Put things in one line format. ect..

But this will get lost in the sauce without a sticky.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
do you wanna do this? im not crobs ok hahahaha
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
just trying to help you:) If you want it stickied than it want to look nice. I see you have already done alot better with it. Didnt mean to sound like i was being critical.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i didnt mean for that to sound mean lol i was messing with you man haha im gonna be adding to it
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
ok guys i added a whooole bunch of stuff. lets get this stickied somehow? hopefully this will lower the number of questions being asked over and over. i will be updating this over time.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
cant let this get pushed back. people need to know! lol just updated again
[Touch CDMA Android Development] preardon:
I understand you want this to remain near the top, but adding three consecutive posts isn't the way to go about it. There is an edit button for this purpose.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
but edit wont bring it back to the top :) im just trying to help clean this place up a bit cause people keep asking the same questions over and over and then they get an attitude about it when you kindly ask them to search.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] preardon:
I'm entertained by your response, and here's why. You say you kindly ask people, but I'm failing to see that anywhere. Let me illustrate:

In both these examples, I don't see the word please, thank you, or even a question mark. You're not asking, you are presuming people are ignorant and rudely telling them to do something they may have already done, without bringing them any closer to a solution. That's why people get upset.

If finding every answer is as simple for you as you imply, you should either help them find an answer or do not contribute.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
discussion over. let this thread either get deleted or pushed back. im just gonna let the forum get overun with the same questions. i dont even care anymore
[Touch CDMA Android Development] garringm:
not the attitude to have, I been here and there on these android threads for a long time now. It would be great if you get this stickied but all of these references have been referenced oh so many times already, It doesn't matter how many times threads like this get posted people are naturally lazy and don't know how to do things for themselves its a trait you have to teach yourself when you are very very young These people are not going to search or read they are going to go for the easy out and just ask all the meanwhile pissing everyone off. I say just go about what you do and ignore the same old same old, let them learn, some lessons need learned the hard way.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
your right. im sorry to everyone if i had caused any problems. i was only trying to help. i guess people took it the wrong way. and im sorry but i have to say it. the moderator proved my point in the other 2 threads lol also i see that camera icon in your notification bar. im guessing thats a screen capture app? if so what is it? the pics look pretty clear
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Lol.. I spent quite a while crafting a response to this thread which would be almost pointless to post now! Well said.

And.. to lighten the mood, semi o/t: check this out
[Touch CDMA Android Development] garringm:
That would be drocap2 free in the market
[Desire General] Raminder1992:
Basically, who has got their phone insured?

Where have you got it from?

Should I get mine from T-Mobile?

Thanks
[Desire General] cez10:
all the orders pretty much on any website or instore offer you first month free insurance and then bout £5-8pm for the phone, and i dont think if your phone is from i.e. o2 you will be able to get a t-mob insurance
[Desire General] O and O:
I've had a N70 (nearly got stock from me twice), N95 (broken nearer a year and a half but doubt insurance would cover that), HTC Touch HD (screen died replaced after a year) and a HTC Desire, none have been insured :D. None have been damaged (ex. wear and tear), none have been stolen and none have been in the washer ...

... One of these days I'll calculate how much I have saved ...
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
Just get an advantage gold bank account, free phone insurance and free travel insurance, costs 12 quid a month but you get other benifits too :)
[Desire General] evildead4eva:
T-mobile are charging me £5 a month insurance bringing my bill up to £20 (though they are charged seperate). I used to have insurance through carphonewarehouse but after breaking 2 iphones i figured insurance would be a good option on this one. lol
[EVO 4G General] arch3rm:
I got a HD2, replacing a Hero last month and am VERY excited about the Evo.

I can't seem to find a mention of Australia anywhere, I saw that the UK was apparently missing out as they don't have a 4G network but Vivid Wireless has just been launched in Perth here in Australia running a 4G Network and is currently on its way to coming online in other major cities.

So what do you think?

Will the Evo be coming to Australia?

I will end up importing one if it doesn't but I'd rather not have the Sprint branding (I'm that much of a purist)
[EVO 4G General] bananapie:
if u import it how are u gonna use it? coz i thought it doesnt use sim card (correct me if im wrong)

But i really do hope this phone comes to australia:D
[EVO 4G General] Macca2805:
Not likely.

The EVO runs on the 4g network at Sprint. Perth is the only city that has a 4g network AFAIK (vividwireless.com.au), but its not linked to a cellular network in any way so a phone on this service would be unable to make phonecalls...

It does still have EVDO but that's slow and makes the phone pointless to release among Australia's market.
[EVO 4G General] arch3rm:
I dont know about the EVO using SIM cards but I was under the impression that it can function on 3G as well as 4G
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
The Evo, as a CDMA device released for Sprint, will not use a SIM card. But yes, the device will be able to function on both 4G and 3G. It will search for a WiMAX (4G) connection, and if it cannot connect, it will then search for a EVDO (3G) connection.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
I have a feeling they will have a SIM card for the phone. Otherwise it wouldn't make for a great world phone :) Verizon has SIM slots in some of their phones in order to be a world phone on GSM networks.

I think the same will apply here. Knowing HTC they will follow up with a phone that will be equivalent in a next HD3/HD4 release for 850/900 networks.

They are truly moving the whole phone market at the moment. They are the phone company to beat in regards to style and innovation.

I do like the Samsung Galaxy S as well. But I have become attached to the Sense UI and that is one of the main reasons I do not want to get the Nexus One for AT&T. I will pay a little more to get the one from Telstra is AT&T doesn't release any news of a better android phone by April 27th.

I am due for an upgrade or I will move to Sprint for the EV0 4G which I think I will get anyways.

I have the Tmobile HD2 and the lock ups pisses me off even with several of the other ROM's I have flashed.

Oh well can't have everything. I might return the phone. I have a few more days.
