[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
An S-ON bootloader just required that the images are signed - the actual key itself is irrelevant.

An S-OFF bootloader will flash images that are unsigned.

Note that the S-OFF bootloader only appeared in the wild on the 24th November when Paul @ MoDaCo released one that he'd had for a while (see here), and many of us were flashing custom rom/recovery images long before then.

As Kendon has already posted, I doubt that most people here have ever bothered to flash the S-OFF bootloader, unless they particularly felt the need to replace the operator boot logo.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
Ok, then what's the purpose of GoldCard method if we can flash custom images that are properly signed with S-ON bootloader?

P.S. I'm also new to Android platform, so I also am trying to understand. Dont be harsh :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bonesy:
what about the simlock part?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ganii:
Thanks,now understand a little bit!

And Yes,what about the simlock part and is there a method

how I can check the sim-lock at my HTC Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
The latest version of the SPL (the so called "perfect SPL") specifically disallows remote booting via Fastboot, which effectively prevents you from replacing the recovery image and thus flashing custom images.

The Goldcard method just allows you to downgrade your firmware to an earlier version of the firmware (still with an S-ON SPL) that does not have this restriction. Once you have done this, you can replace your recovery image and flash custom ROMs.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I don't know what the "SIM-lock as HBoot" specifically means. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it just refers to a lock via SIM pin code.

If you want to check if your Hero is locked to a specific carrier, the easiest solution is just to stick a different carriers SIM in the device and see what happens! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
Ah, so! Thanks for explanation! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ganii:
Yes,that`s the easiest method,but I thought there is a method

which show`s me lock codes or similar!

For Windows Mobile devices I found a method,but not for Android!

Thanks anyway!

Hi,

I've seen the app "SciLor’s GSensor Control [Alpha]" for WinMobile.

With it u can use the g-sensor when there is no D-Pad at ur phone.

Is there something like this for Android?

I accidentally Deleted my Launcher app using titanium backup. Is there anyway to reinstall the launcher? I really don't want to have to reflash the whole rom. I'm just using a rooted stock rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
i suspect you just need to push the launcher.apk to the appropriate destination. search around for instructions on how to do it, and a copy of the file itself
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahui9:
you can download helix launcher from the market. great launcher I use it all the time. I prefer it to the stock launcher anyways.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
You can also just reflash the rom your using again, it wont delete any apps or anything and it will relace the stock files.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralexand:
you'll need to find the Launcher2.apk from the Rom you use. just extract the Rom and search the extracted folder: /system/app . once you find the apk file, you'll need to push it to /system/app on your phone via adb or the Su file manager (available in market)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erunamo_florio:
I did the same thing...

I have a Milestone 3 (Brazilian Droid 3) and after installing a new home screen, i deleted the standard motoblur home screen (not without a backup of course). I didn't know that a factory reset don't reinstall the standard programs of Motoblur, so now i have a handset without launcher.

I can't access by ADB, due the factory reset deleted my predefined configurations and I can't access the market to download a launcher.

The only thing I have is the lock screen, the notification bar and a black screen below the bar. When i plug the USB i have the options to access the Motorola Phone Portal, USB, Windows Media Link and Charge only.

I tried to find the base rom to reinstall, but i couldn't find. Tried to find a shortcut to use by the keyboard, and got the same result.

I'll keep trying to find a way, and if anyone could help us i'll be glad.

Thanks

Hi,

I just transfered ALL my text messages (3642 text messages) from my Kaiser to my TP2 with PIMBackup. I restored everything successful and wanted to see if everything has been transfered correctly.

Now I have the problem, that the Messaging-App takes DECADES to load the messages (about 1800 text messages in my inbox). Seriously it takes about 5 minutes, until the "windows-busy-icon" disappears. The Message app included in the slider, which only shows the newest 25 messages, takes "only" about 5 seconds, which is fine.

I have to admit, 1800 text messages is a lot, but my Kaiser had no problems at all with that amount of messages. As soon as I opened my Inbox on the Kaiser, I was able to open the messages right away.

On the TP2 on the other hand, I have to wait 5 minutes, until all the messages are loaded, before I can open a text messages.

My Inbox I have set to "Classic Mode" not the "Conversation Mode" (which I think needs even more resources).

For me, this is a BIG issue, because I text a lot - text message and Email - THATS why I bought the TP2 and not the HD2, because I appreciate the hardware keyboard. But having a Messaging App that needs 5 minutes to load makes me wanna go back to my Kaiser.

Does anyone know a solution???

Thanks,

Don

By the way, if anyone knows a way how to create an extra folder (next to: inbox, outbox, sent items, drafts, deleted) in the messaging and email Apps, please let my know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
Don't store 1000 messages on your phone?

Also, dont close messaging through the task manager. If you leave it open it should open right away since everything will be cached.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
When you're looking at your inbox, click the "menu" softbutton on the bottom right, then choose "tools", then "manage folders". Once there, you can create new folders or manage existing ones
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Don-Carlo:
Well, the reason I have this phone is, that I'm using it for business,... and for business it is essential to safe and store your messages and have em available at any time. I mean, this ridiculously expensive device should be able to manage this matter properly, just like crappy $50 phones or previous models of the TP2 (like the Kaiser).

____________________________________________

Thanks for the advice, but the ROM I am using does not have this button (see attached screenshot). I tried to find this in the various setting menus, but couldnt find it. I'm gonna ask ark666 where to find it and/or how to do it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Sorry, that looks like the HTC e-mail interface you're looking at there, you'll need to get to the underlying WM e-mail interface to do the steps I mentioned. There may be a way to turn just the HTC e-mail off (I don't know), but you can just go into settings and switch off sense altogether for a minute, then pull up e-mail and you should then have the options there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
I think that option is available when you are viewing your messages via WM messaging client. You can get there a coupe routes. Navigate to your text tab in Sense, click all message soft key. Also under start menu there is a text message option (two message bubbles) which will take you to WM messaging.

You could also store your messages in the cloud (Microsoft MyPhone or other) and download them when you need (I know its bothersome, but it would also be a solution to storing 1000s of messages at all times).

I'm going to try downloading the 3000 messages from my old WM phone and see how my phone reacts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Don-Carlo:
Hey Sirphunkee and Burtonsnow8,

thanks for the advices again, but no success so far, unfortunately.

I switched off Sense and opened the WM Messaging Client, and could see the E-Mail accounts, but as soon as I access it, it jumps back to HTC Messaging Client. Same for the text messaging.

When in WM Messaging Client, there menu only offers "Options" and "Delete". The Options didnt offer and folder management.

I also tried to access the WM Messaging Client by "file explorer", but same story, it always jumps to the HTC Messaging Client.

Is it maybe possible to do this by registry editing? Or somehow through Total Commander?

Really appreciating your help here guys!

There are a couple apps for disabling htc messaging, not sure which will work for you:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Don-Carlo:
UPDATE:

Ok, seems like this is a problem of either Ark's ROM I'm using, OR the HTC Messaging Client. I just saw, that Ark just released a version of his ROM without the HTC Messaging client. Gonna test that one, next week.

@ burtonsno8: Thanks for the links, but Ark just released another ROM without HTC Messaging Client, seems like this would work with a fix. However, it would be interesting to know about your experience after flashing your 3k Messages on your TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
I see a lot of people having similar issues w/ HTC messaging, so Ark's new release should definitely be helpful.

I'll be testing out my msgs later tonight, because this also seems to be an issue of many users.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Don-Carlo:
Just an update on this one.

ARK's ROM without HTC Messaging client helps, but is unfortunately no solution.

For some reason, when I import my text messages via PIM Backup on my TP2, the text messages are saved in the "Program" part and not in the "Storage" part of the Memory,... so after importing 3.600 messages, I have 2.1 MB of program memory left, hence, my device works in slow-mo.

This is weird, because this is different on my Kaiser, where text messages are saved in the storage part of the memory.

Is there a registry hack, which determines, where text messages are saved?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jyuken:
I have exactly the same issue.

Got around 1600 SMS which was fine with the original

Windows Messaging(TP2 - first original ROM) ,

but takes really long with HTC Messaging (TP2- newest original ROM).

Contacted HTC support only to have them advise me

to backup my messages with Windows MyPhone.

I'd really like to know if there's a registry hack to disable

the HTC Messaging, back to Windows Messaging

without any performance issue.

As i have no idea how to do this, would really appreciate

if anyone could let us know how.

It helped me. It doesn't switch to WM sms client, it still uses HTC client, but it works now. Unfortunately, sollution from sirphunkee's post didn't work for me, and still that one has bugs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Don-Carlo:
Well, NONE of this will help, as long as the TP2 saves messages in the PROGRAM memory.

Like I wrote in my last update, after importing 3,600 messages I have 2.1 MB left in my PROGRAM memmory, while the the STORAGE memory is almost empty (120 MB left).

This was different on my other HTC devices,.. why does the TP2 save messages in the PROGRAM memory, that doest even make sense !?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] devis:
So I'm using Josh's ROM and I'm having similar issues. This is what I posted in that thread with no replies...

"Anyone experiencing text message delays and freezes with this ROM? I have disabled Sense and installed SPB Mobile Shell. Threaded SMS and Exchange email from work. Very few apps. For some reason though, after I have a bunch of apps open, text messages won't open anymore or won't come in. Or they do and I cant open them. Sometimes I'm able to open the email (separate icon) and slide over to the texts, other times I can't. Using memclean to end all is a hit or miss as well. I find that I have to soft reset frequently, sometimes 3-4 times a day. At times, when I'm having a text conversation with someone, it will freeze up as well. I want to continue using this ROM because it's quite stable for everything else but this... Ideas anyone?

But, I've also noticed that these problems don't exist if I switch to the Sense 3D view.

Is this a WM6.5 issue or are there other forces at play beyond our knowledge?

There is no error message about connectivity failure and all the programs fail to connect me to any of the services like yahoo,gtalk etc. Just keep reconnecting to the servers/client services.

Also, i am not able to configure yahoo mail on my handset. If someone has done it before pls guide me through on how to setup Port configurations for POP3/IMAP4!

The browser and weather updates are working normally and I am able to use the other programs using data connection.

Do i need to manually configure settings in each of the IM programs?

Pls suggest

[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Hi all. I've just been wondering... has anyone else besides me ran into countless problems using the Nexus Launcher/Launcher2 on their phone? I'm running Fresh 2.0d with the included .apk, and here are some bugs I've found:

Unresponsiveness

Screen turns black and stays black requiring a battery pull

Launcher will launch without displaying icons in the menu

Now, it is not only Flipz's ROM that has these problems either... it is EVERY ROM I've tried. I'm sure most of you will tell me to use Helix Launcher. I have tried it, but it doesn't have the same feel that the Nexus Launcher has.

Has anyone found a fix for these stability issues? If not, I'd like to start a project so we can get this working, because I'm sure it's completely possible. After all, Flipz was able to get the 2.1 lockscreen working!
[Hero CDMA General] heroid007:
I am running fresh2.0d and stock screen turns black and needs battery pull when I use camera app and hit back button or any button.

Launcher has been pretty responsive except here and there....

I do get to the mode where no icons on home screen for few seconds at times but it recovers pretty soon....

As far as the lock screen, I ran in to an issue while my corporate policy forced me to assign lock/unlock password! Soon I enable password and lock, phone stops responding!!! I have to either pull the battery or issue reboot command via prompt!!!

I hope this helps.... I am not a developer though....
[Hero CDMA General] frisKers:
I have been disappointed by the nexus launcher's performance as well.

The black screen requiring a reboot (or if you hold home and happen to have settings in the app switch menu you can force kill it and restart it) is a common occurrence with seemingly no pattern. Sometimes it after a long browsing session, other times its happens after deleting a single e-mail message and returning to the main screen. The only consistent way to make it happen is to hit back after launching camera from the app drawer.

Ive also noticed in every rom with launcher, that when coming out of the launch screen the app shortcuts and widgets on the home screen don't load instantly. Almost as if the launcher was killed while it was asleep and when unlocking it, it is reloaded.

It's disappointing because as you said, while helixlauncher is an OK alternative, nothing else has quite the same feel as nexus launcher. Unfortunately I think it will take a good bit of modification to make it a perfect match with the hero and I have absolutely 0 idea where to even begin :(.

With the Evo not coming to UK waters and no other screen size planned this side of the pond the ROM on the HD2 may well be the only answer.

However, lets not forget.. the Evo has a lot inside which will be different to the HD2 and these short comings won't make the HD2 an Evo in disguise.

[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
I find it quite unlikely. Developers are still trying to get Android EMULATED, not installed, on the Touch Pro, and that version still suffers from poor battery life and frequent errors.

You can't just drag and drop ROMS from completely different operating systems onto different phones; otherwise, all phones would be sold without an OS installed.

The two phones may be similar in regards to features, but the insides are completely different. For example, the Evo has a maXTouch sensor, while the HD2 does not. So, while you may be able to get Android emulated on the HD2, it doesn't look like it's going to be very possible to transform it into an Evo by giving it the latter's ROM.
