Lets not get upset people.

@K; in my not so professional opinion, the RUU issues are when U'ing between a 2.1 based rom and the RUU, a 1.5 rom. If you have the stock radio and any 1.5 rom, theres simply no reason the ruu wont work

Avs radio flash worked for me,.i havent ruu'd yet but i will report back later this week a conclusive thread.

Can you flash back the old radio, RUU, and TRUELY unroot?

Tune in next time...

@the rest

Hi! :-)
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Thank you.
[Hero CDMA General] RPerry435:
I'm in Michigan also and definitely experience a worse signal strength.

Why would I have to flash back to. the old radio for the 2.1 (when it finally does come out )
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
If you want the oficial update, youllhave to unroot.

Just take a look at this thread from the android forums

http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/53646-unwanted-apps.html

NOTE: you MUST have ROOT in order to remove those apps.

If the instructions in that thread about "adb" are too complicated for you, then go buy the Root Explorer app, navigate to the folders you were told to in the thread, click the "r/w" button at the top of the app, then long press on the files you are told to delete.

Deleting system apps is risky if you delete the wrong ones. As usual, you are responsible if anything happens.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Android22:
As I see it, you must have root to modify system files on your ROM (anyone correct me if I'm wrong)

But I was able to use Titanium Back up (downloaded from the Android market, free) to see all installed programs and I successfully deleted Visual VM, Peep, and stock messages... I use the others...

now so far, my ROM that is installed [2.1 version .3] hasn't had any problems with the removal of these system programs, So I think it is a safe method.

I believe this is a good alternative to adb commands... since you know what you are deleting.

and of course, I am not responsible if you do happen to mess your phone up.

Type adb shell than su and tell me what happens.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] GrdLock:
FYI, you were typing the commands wrong.

Right after you do "adb shell" you'll need to type "su" and the $ prompt should change to a # prompt. Check your phone as well after typing "su" as you should see a popup asking for permission.

should be: mount -o rw,remoun /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

The -o is the letter o, not a zero.

Should be: ls

That's the letter l (lowercase L), not a one.

I just downloaded Titanium Backup and deleted the "worldclock.apk" and I have to say it's a nice app, (Titanium that is)

So far, from the VanillaDroid ROM, I've deleted the following with no ill effects:

Stocks

Weather ( I use WBug)

Visual Voicemail

Browser ( I use Dolphin)

Quickoffice

MMS

Talk

Mail

Deskclock

I would like to delete the following but am having some difficulty finding the correct "apk"

Camcorder (I think it's built into the camera?)

Call History

People Search

Settings (just the app in the drawer, another NAND before I do this I guess)

Voice Dialer

Voice Search

Voice Record

NaviPanel ***Anyone know if this will mess with Maps?***

FACEBOOK !!!! I deleted the "Facebook.apk" but the FB app is still in the drawer and it still works fine. If anyone could help me with deleting this one I would be forever greatful! Trying to delete it using Titanium, it says: "cannot find Facebook.apk" But it's still friggin there......argh!

Edit: Woohoo! Facebook is gone.

Yup, exactly.

I think it may also have something to do with MyBackupPro. Once I restore apps+data, then I get the FC's.

how flashing rom in X2 xperia .. anyone can help
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipermo:
How come battery life seems a lot better when i use Alpha 19 - MoDaCo Custom ROM with HTC Sense (Desire ROM)

But not as good with CyanogenMod-5 for Nexus One (STABLE) [03/23/2010 / 5.0.5.3] ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betawind:
MoDaCo probably made enhancements in alpha 19 that improved battery life, but as I understand it the Rosie framework is pretty bulky (compare the ROM sizes between MoDaCo and Cyanogen) and probably has more going on in the background than the Cyanogen ROMs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dredknot:
Does anyone else get (or preferably know how to fix) an error when you try to watch a movie off of the blockbuster app. It loads up windows media player then says i need to download the rights to view it and leaves a link to click. when you click it it takes you to a page thats says you need to log in or buy the rights to view this media. Any ideas?
[HD2 General] Qazz~:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DogVofsUHHQ&feature=sub

Follow the link and watch closely towards the end, you will see that he slides the screen from the people tab to the homescreen and there is that android/Iphone like animation compared to my/our phone which currently just changes pages without any animation...

If the T-Mobile Roms truly have this feature can it be cooked into custom ROMS?
[HD2 General] ragdoll20:
its just a marketing gimmick, its not how it looks in real life :) your HD2 and the T-mobile HD2 are the same
[HD2 General] Qazz~:
i see... Even so, is there a possibility of seeing this? Maybe a dev could do it?
[HD2 General] pychobj2001:
Except the Rom sizes
[HD2 General] cryshop:
Seriously, it would be really nice If HD2 could do "android-like" thing, the slide animation is just awesome!
[HD2 General] Bimme:
if u like sliding pages u should try spb mobile shell with the sense theme.

it´s running very very well on the hd2.

but the fastest way to get through all tabs is using the slider, and this is why i stick to manila
[HD2 General] Swampie:
5 seconds in: "screen sequence compressed and simulated". I think that's Marketing for, "this ain't real". ;)
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
This feature would've been awesome! Im currently using SPB and an Android Theme and it looks totally cool!

Major advantages of ditching Sense UI for SPB is the Stability. The HD2 is rock stable without Sense! When I was using Sense I'd to soft reset my device atleast 5 times a day. With SPB everythings super smooth and rarely I reset my device!
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I've only ever used Sense, and rebooted my phone less than 5 times since I got it 3 months ago. Sure it isn't a program/tweak you installed?
[HD2 General] Qazz~:
but spb mobile shell is damn expensive, I'm only 16 and i don't think my dad will pay $30 for it...
[HD2 General] shutdown:
my sense has been stable. it's only when i tried putting other things on the system that i've had issues
[HD2 General] j23a45m:
my phone swipes from side to side on the home screen, its using the slider bar just in the middle of the phone. try it and see for yourself it's not as smooth a tv but it does work
[HD2 General] Qazz~:
What slider bar in the middle?
[HD2 General] j23a45m:
it's like using the sslider bar but just in the middle of the phone.
[HD2 General] dameon12:
I dunno what you doin with your device but im using a stock rom and i needed only ONE soft reset in 4 weeks that wasnt needed after installation of a program.

So no freezes at all. If u use a custom rom it is just not part of the phone but maybe a software incompatibility.

Could you send me a screenshot of your android theme? I used SPB on my old Touch HD but the HD2 can run Sense so so fluid and stable on a stock rom

[Hero CDMA General] ruben8448:
I don't know if this is worthy of a new thread or not, if you guys find it not to be then you can delete it. I just wanted to post this so that i can vent my anger out on Sprint and no one besides you guys at XDA would probably care. I am very upset with Sprint and all of their products that i have so far. I got into the smartphone scene with a palm and i had that for quite a while, things worked great on it. Then i made the switch to the HTC Diamond. I was excited for the phone until i got it. It had a huge battery problem, i would probably get 5 hours most on the phone, and it lagged severely. To me, that is a huge problem so if i were with Sprint and HTC i would have fixed that right away. But, alas sprint is not that kind of company, so they left it. Thanks to the developers, they fixed Sprint and HTCs problem.

I then switched to the HTC Hero, again i was very excited for this phone and i saved for quite a while to purchase it. But again, when i got it i was disappointed. The phone lagged more than i expected and again, there was a battery issue. HTC get the hint already, fix your battery scripting. So i did the most sensible thing, i rooted my phone and upgraded with developer roms because it seems developers care more than Sprint.

Now i sit here waiting for Android 2.1 which sprint promises that they will release. I hear so many dates, first one said it was suppose to be released on March 23 and now i hear April 9th. And to make matters even worse, they are now releasing 2 new phones to their lineup. I am excited for these new phones, the nexus one and the EVO, but what the heck sprint, fix your current problems!

I am very interested in the EVO, from what i read, it is suppose to have quite a few cool things. But, i am not going to let the appearance fool me, this phone seems so powerful that sprint isnt gonna be able to handle it and they will release some great looking phone with a ton of problems, and instead of fixing these problems, they'll probably just try to push another phone on us. The Evo says it will have an 8 megapixel camera, seems impressive but the Hero has a 5 megapixel camera, that honestly, is **** without some tweeking to it. So i think an 8 megapixel camera will probably be the same with no fix from sprint or htc. Next, they promise a great processor, this sounds good but to me it sounds like another phone with 5 hours of battery life. I may be wrong but so far htc's previous products are all the same in this field.

I may just ranting but i really needed to get this out, i still don't know why i stick with sprint and htc, i guess i am loyal and i have faith that one day they will listen to their customers and fix their stuff. I don't know if anyone else feels this way too but this is what i have noticed since i got onboard with htc and sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] ruben8448:
haha thats great, thanks i need that, haha. if crying gets things fixed with these companies then i am there.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
I would imagine that all smartphone get terrible battery life. They are basically pocket-sized computers. It's not just HTC's. They improved the Hero a ton with the US version compared to the Euro one. Maybe switching to a non-smartphone might be your option? I don't know. I can tell you that with 2.1, our Heroes will have better battery life once we get the update. Because these leaked ROMs already do. Anyways, I don't really think Sprint is the problem with the phone. They are just the carrier minus the few apps they install. Do you live in a spot that has good coverage from Sprint? Because I will tell you this...If you have bad coverage, you won't get good battery life. Maybe switching carriers would help. Just my opinion.

-Ken
[Hero CDMA General] someonenewhere:
if you're not satisfied..then go get yourself an iPhone.....end of thread..
[Hero CDMA General] ruben8448:
well one reason i was upset is with the diamond i had about 4 hours to 5 hours with the phone, sleep or active. I then learned about rooting the phone and i installed a rom that fixed that problem. so my guess was it was some type of scripting error that the companies just never got around to fixing. And i live in AZ, sprint and verizon have the best coverage, the rest suck out here so i wouldnt consider any of them.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
What kind of battery problem are you having with the hero? I can easily get through the day on a charge most of the time.

And even when I can't, keeping a second usb cable at my office so I can plug in there every now and then isn't a big deal. I consider it more than a fair trade-off for being able to carry that much computing power in my pocket.

It wasn't all that many years ago that I owned a desktop computer that had a slower processor, less ram, less storage, crappier screen and MUCH slower internet access than what my hero has.

I really don't understand why so many people ***** about "only" one day of battery life. What's so freakin' inconvenient about having your phone plugged in while you sleep?

Hell, when I carried a Treo 650 I had to have my phone plus two spare batteries fully charged when I left the house in the morning if I expected to get through just to the end of the workday. Didn't really bother me, it's just the trade-off I had to make to have the capabilities that it gave me.

It's just basic physics. More processing power uses more electricity. More functionality means that processing power is being utilized even when you're not using the phone. That also costs electricity. Larger screen, you guessed it, needs more electricity. And yet people still demand that their phones be slim and sexy.

You want a phone that does all this cool ****? Well, then be prepared to plug it in every once in awhile. If they made these things with the ability to go 17 days between charges they'd have to be the size of a phone book to accomodate the battery.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
No reason to be short, I am glad to hear others opinions on Sprint and HTC in general.

On another note, I could never be more satisfied with my phone, rom, battery life, stability, coverage, and rate plan.

Except Im switching to Evo. Lol!
[Hero CDMA General] ElAguila:
This shows the value and worth of the developer forum. If it had not have been for the developer forums I would have stopped getting smartphones a long time ago.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
Find me one that says "would you like CHEESE with that WHINE?" Lol

Btah

Im sorry experience is so horrible. I dont reccomend an iphone, however, perhaps live with it until Evo or N1? Im quite sure whatever phone you chose will have as many bad reports as good. Keep your chin up kid, this is Android! :-)
[Hero CDMA General] ruben8448:
well with the hero i had alright battery life, i would get 8 hours to 10 hours until i rooted and switched to the roms which get me a days worth and that is more than enough for me. And i am glad opinions can be shot down with a "purchase the iphone," seems like anyones solution to anything is an iphone :p
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
My friend, opinions can only be shot down if you let them. Dont feed those trolls, theyll evwntually go away.

Like I said, im sorry to hear your experience has been so bad, but I doubt youll find better.

Besides, the Hero is the hottest topic at any dinner table, with just the name alone.

"what kind of phone do you have?"

"oh, this old thing? this is the HERO!"
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
iphone isn't a bad device, it's popular for a reason. It just wasn't for me. I've generally had good experiences with my hero. Mostly because of xda and a lot of my own work on roms. Android really is an excellent operating platform.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
Well, to be fair, it is what everything seems to get compared to.

In all honesty after having carried one for two years, I have to say it's a great phone for its target audience. It's a reasonably capable smartphone that "just works". For non-geeks who want a phone that does all the "cool stuff", I think it's a good fit.

For people like me and the others who seek out forums like this one, it's just about the most frustrating damn phone in the world, though. It sucks having all that processing power in your fingertips but not being able to utilize it fully because Apple has the iPhone ecosystem locked down so tight. Not to mention that if I wanted to write my own software for it, I had to go out and buy a Mac! I had my first basic Android app loaded and running on my hero the same night I brought it home.

As far as your frustration with Sprint and HTC being slow with updates.... Just throw a 2.1 rom from this forum on it and stop worrying. I'm running DamageControl on mine, and I can honestly say I'm not the least bit interested in the official 2.1 update from sprint. There's nothing interesting even rumored to be in it that I don't already have.
[Hero CDMA General] ruben8448:
Thanks, trust me, i love the hero. And i love XDA, i enjoy coming on this website to find what cool new roms are out and testing them. I think that the EVO may be an even better dinner table discussion, i can picture it now, "hey, is that an HDMI cable input?" "Oh this old thing, yea it is" haha

[Hero CDMA General] dwertz:
Well first I am sure Sprint is trying to work with HTC to fix all the bugs in 2.1. Other phones like Motorola Droid do not come with the sense UI, so HTC needs to have time to incorporate that. I am sure the original date may have been March 23, but like everyone knows some deadlines cant be met. We are not even supposed to know it was to be released that day or April 9. Someone leaks this information and that causes all the problems. Most of the time they dont even know a release date until all the beta testing is done. Stop paying attention to the dates people post. Plus if Sprint released this with bugs everyone would complain. i know one time with the HTC Touch Pro sprint released a ROM early and had to recall it. I dont think they want to do that sort of thing again.

For battery life, get an extended battery. The Sprint Hero uses the same has the HTC TP2 battery and they have a 2000mah battery that is the same size as stock for like $10 and its 500mah more.

As for technology, once you buy the Evo, it will be outdated just like the Hero. Thats part of technology life. be happy if you get 6 month out of your device before there is a better replacement.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:

6 months?

I've had my hero for just over 2 weeks now, and in that time it's been officially announced that the N1 and EVO are on their way to Sprint. :P

I couldn't wait any longer, though. My wife and I have been doing without cell phones for awhile since we moved to a new town. I now live a 5 mile drive from even the slightest hint of an AT&T signal, not a good deal for our iPhones. I've been holding out to see what got announced this spring, but nobody was saying anything and impatience finally got the better of me and I decided the Hero would be "just fine". (Which worked out, because none of the announced phones will be on the shelf soon enough that I could have waited anyway.)
