[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] beakybal4:
if it's anything like the way 3 validate sony ericsson phone then there will be a certificate that you have to install to use their services.

I may not be a hero owner but this is just an idea:

anyone that's flashed a WM rom will know that when the ROM is first installed it runs through a series of tasks set out by an .xml file.

The way networks brand their phones is through this .xml file, it contains logos to replace the boot screen and wallpaper, also it contains an instruction to install the certificates to the phone.

This is because its easier for the network's techies to just create something like this than modifying the ROM itself.

This is true also for sony ericsson phones, its called a custpack.

For WM its called ExtROM.

My question is this: is there anything (remotely) like an ExtROM/Custpack for android/hero ROMS?

Josh.

Not sure if this info is any help here guys but I have a unbranded generic white hero, non rooted on stock 1.5 using a 3 simcard and I am able to download both skype and messenger from the 3 site and can use no problems.

The build number on my phone is 2.73.405.66 hope this helps :)

But to get the free skype to skype calls that 3 offer I'm thinking you would probably have to use the version provided by 3?

Its the main reason I haven't upgraded to 2.1, free skype and free messenger is to good to lose, but please correct me if I'm wrong here :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mattyguk:
Thanks but that's not what we're looking for, as that's skype lite which requires you to use skype credit to receive calls. What we're looking for is "skype beta on 3" which uses a special number to dial out and doesn't require credit to receive calls. The program is on the market, but that version only works with 1.5 NOT 2.1.

Although I hear that an update is on its way soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kams19:
any luck anyone..

i think it relates to how 3 customises its phones (there should be some way in which authenticates which phones have 3 ROM)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] rosso22:
Don't think that is the case, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I am not using a 3 rom and have no problems accessing planet 3 and downloading the skype and messenger applications.

As I am using the generic unbranded HTC rom I find it highly unlikely to have been customized by 3!

So maybe the problem is not so much something that is missing but more likely some thing in the roms that shouldnt be there? just a thought :)

Hi!

Manila: 2.5.19211619.0

ROM: 1.66.407.1 GER

Is it possible to use Manila 2.5.2012 without flashing a new ROM? I'd like to use the GTX Sense 2.5 Theme (Sorry, I can't post the link due to the new user restrictions...) and furthermore I have some apps installed I don't want to miss (most important ones: Touch X Faster manila tweaks, Co0kie's Home Tab etc).

The problem is that Co0kie's Home Tab only works with GTX Sense 2.5.2012 release so I want to know if it is possible just to update Manila without the ROM.

Thanks and greetz!
[HD2 General] myth1001:
I don't think manila can be upgraded without flashing a new rom.

[HD2 General] BadBoy8:
Hey guys, im new here... i've been reading up alot about this phone, and loving it more and more... i cant seem to find an answer to this, nor do i know if its even possible...

I currently moved from the telstra crap to the stock rom....

I am frustrated by the message tab as i find it useless, is there anyway to bring up the "all messages" layout as soon as i touch the message tab? thanks
[HD2 General] abmantis:
AFAIK no.

I also find that tab useless so what I did was:

1 - disable that tab. This way when I go to the notifications window and tap the "new message" notification it opens the All Messages window.

2 - put a link in your home tab to the HTC Messaging aplication. This way you can access it easily.
[HD2 General] BadBoy8:
Thanks mate, good idea :)

[HTC Excalibur] gpmartinson:
Me too

I am in the process of learning about just how to do this. Its a bit daunting. Look at the stickies for information on where to start. I don't think this is strictly necessary, but I am boning up on my .net compact framework programming knowledge to add some stuff to the machine because there doesn't seem to be much being developed for it anymore.

The best bet would be to start with flashing and then poke around at the different set ups. That's what I am doing...

Best of luck!

Gurus,

Just installed DC2.0R3.2

I'm missing HTC Calendar. Wiped three times, still no cigar.

I also keep hearing people talking about the tethering app. I dont see it in my progs list, is that another app that I'm missing?

Why are these apps there for some and not others?

I usually wipe data before installing ROM, but not SD card or dalvik cache. So I figure I try that, but I get the Error: Run 'wipe dalvik' via adb! error..

how the heck do I do that, or how can I fix this?

I tried posting in the ROM thread, but damn my message just gets crushed by other messages...sorry for the multiple questions...

I was just trying to get the missing widgets back. Someone had suggested I cleard data for HTC Sense and HTC Calendar in "manage applications" tool. That fixed it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DullTree:
Hi,

As the title suggests, I'm wondering whether there is something out there that can give my phone (a T-Mobile-branded Vario IV) the predictive dialer like the one in the Vario II.

The dialer of the Vario II worked like this:

In the dialer when I started typing a number, say 017, then the dialer would give me a list of all contacts whose numbers had this combination of numbers (0171..., 0172...,0173..., etc).

So rather than the dialer recognizing letters in the typing, I wan't it to return me results based on the actual numbers I dial.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction with this.

Best,

DT
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] haaibaa2:
Try the latest NRG, his dialers have this option.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Did you try default WM6 dialer? Just disable phone skin in Adv.Config and restart.
[Desire General] williap:
Just been to the HTC website and noticed a new OTA firmware update on there.

I don't have my phone yet :( so can anybody confirm what improvements this offers?

[Desire General] cez10:
great hopefully it will solve all or at least couple of issues the users had so far
[Desire General] O and O:

[Desire General] rhedgehog:
sadly HTC rarely do change logs.

Although it must be very minor as it's only going from 1.15.405.3 to 1.15.405.4
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Where on the HTC Site? I cannot see it?

I wonder if this is a quick response to the rooting of the Desire?

I hope not!
[Desire General] O and O:
I'm on 1.15.110.10 do I have to wait for T-Mobile to update the software or will it be pushed asap?
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
should be pushed ASAP.

go into status and try a manual check. bear in mind that if it's done like the other devices when they get ota'd, it may be done over several days. so you may not get it till after the weekend.

Yours should go to 1.15.110.11
[Desire General] EroThraX:
This 1.15.405.4 is the ROM that reviewers such as Tracy and Matt had right? I think that was the number in the video.

Just have to wait to see how long it takes T-mobile to push this out now.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
Oh, and orange devices would go to 1.15.61.10 btw.
[Desire General] sparklehedgehog:
i got it via OTA earlier today but as you all know, NO INFO whatsoever! looks no different however hopefully will improve the shocking battery life......

YEAH RIGHT! :eek:
[Desire General] TheAshMan:

[Desire General] XDAgeek:
What's all this about 405 builds for HTC and 110 builds for tmob and 60 builds for Orange?

Makes no sense.

My tmob phone notified me of an update today, but at the time I had to cancel it as I was busy. Now when I go to manually check for update it says I'm already up to date.

So where did it go?
[Desire General] O and O:
First option on the "About" tab manual update.
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
Will I need to have the T-Mobile sim in for it to find the update then?
[Desire General] Bandare:
I have the 1.15.110.10 on my t-mobile and it wont manually update for me at all :(

Is the Desire going to be like some other tmobile phones and you cant get the official updates?

I have looked on the HTC support site and while it does say there is an update, can't it be downloaded via the site too?
[Desire General] hassan:
Build number has always been difference between generic and branded HTC devices.

I've don my update, can't see any real change though. Maybe a miner update.

Things are much smooth on my Desire then my Nexus one. :D
[Desire General] roybert:
Just checked for any updates on my Desire and it said there was one available, it downloaded no problem it changed my software number to 1.15.405.4 sorry I have no idea what it was before it was changed.
[Desire General] cez10:
you need to wait for t-mobile version of the update unless you unlock your device

1.15.405.3 was before ;)

and
[Desire General] Bandare:
so if I unlock the device, HTC will automatically be able to know that and it will update with the generic update?
[Desire General] cez10:
thats what i think however wait for a confirmation of other users

/e

not sure if unlocking automatically debrands the phone though
[Desire General] mhewitson:
unlocking is different from using the unbranded firmwear.

Unlocking means that you can use any SIM card, from any network on the desire.

However, you may still have a custom firmwear from the original manufacturer and therefore be ubable to install HTC's updates.

IF you have installed the HTC firmwear then you will have access to their updates (rather than TMO's ) and will have to rely on them for updates.

If you have not installed the HTC firmwear and stil have TMO stock then you wil only be able to install TMO OTA updates as they are released. (more or less)
[Desire General] cez10:
right. how do you debrand your device? is it just by installing the original htc software? no need for rooting ? can it be done by OTA?
[Desire General] XDAgeek:
Is t-mobile really 295 builds behind the current release? If so that is almost criminal.
[Desire General] n-j-f:
Mine has gone from 1.15.405.3 to 1.15.405.4. No indication of any changes but I had wondered why mine was earlier than Tracey and Matt's. Now it isn't. :)
[Desire General] Belynda:
I have done the upgrade OTA but would like to know what changes are?:confused:
[Desire General] irkan:
The OTA updates of TMobile, O2, ... etc devices come from them (Mobile Operators) right? .. not form HTC? .. that was the way with WM, not sure about Android
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Mine comes up with no updates on T-Mobile. Is this only happening for people that are using the generic/virgin firmware?
[Desire General] Moandal:
It's always been the case with other HTC phones that updates for operator supplied phones have to come from the operator and not HTC. Looks like it's the same for the Desire OTA updates. So if your Desire is operator-supplied you've got 2 choices:

1) Wait 6 months for the update

2) Root your phone
[Desire General] chappers-UK:
Mine got the update (VF from mobiles)

As others, not sure what the updates where though!
[Desire General] ephumuris:
What about,

3) Flash a generic Rom.
[Desire General] adjei7:
Have any TMO users received the OTA update?
[Desire General] irkan:
3) Flash a generic Rom. (pre-request: check choice number 2)
[Desire General] ephumuris:
You don't need root to flash a generic Rom. I did it on my tattoo before they managed root on it!
[Desire General] oawalker:
Will this update deleted everything on my phone??
[Desire General] Moandal:
I stand corrected. Maybe if I actually had an Android phone I might know what I was talking about.
[Desire General] n-j-f:
No, it doesn't delete anything although, if you have auto backup turned on, it does do another backup just in case.
[Desire General] blackfox888:
I could not get OTA update on t-mobile, update are only available for handset with software version 1.15.405.3 as my is 1.15.110.10! t-mobile are too slow at rolling out update.
[Desire General] cez10:
can anyone confirm this? this is debranding right? and does not require rooting?
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yes it is debranding and does not require root. It does require a gold card to be created though. And a generic Rom but we don't have a generic Rom yet. Unless that virgin Rom floating about is generic.
[Desire General] cez10:
right, i need to learn how to do it then hehe, and yeah not yet but couple/days and im sure generic roms will be around :)

btw is making a gold card free?

and can it brick your device?
[Desire General] hassan:
Yeah making gold card is free as you don't need real gold for that. ;)

You find here how to create a gold card
[Desire General] cez10:
ok thanks mate, will definitely give it a go when i get my desire ;)

btw, can you brick your device by doing this method?
[Desire General] hassan:
Not at all, worst thing could happen is generic rom wont flash if gold card isn't created correctly and phone will reboot back to normal mode.

I've don lots of heros my self.
[Desire General] O and O:

EDIT: Fixed after hard reset phone
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
You wont have to wait that long, updates are generally fine with android (especially on T-Mobile as they are pretty much THE android network and like to push it)

Expect to wait no more than a week for an update after HTC release the update.
[Desire General] cez10:
perhaps I wont have to try and root my phone :)
[Desire General] :
of course not, don't be silly. you just don't understand how the ROM names work. They don't work like software version numbers usually do.

the rom codes have a specific code layout - X.XX.YYY.Z

X.XX (in this case 1.15) is the ROM version. Higher means newer. All these roms are 1.15 so they are all the same ROM.

YYY (405, 110, 60 etc) is the Region/Network code. Higher does NOT mean newer. this number tells you Who, and Where the ROM is intended for:

405 means it is a European HTC ROM

110 means it is a T-Mobile Europe ROM

60 means it is an Orange ROM

61 is Vodafone i believe

Asian devices have codes in the 700 range

Z is the revision number, and only denotes a minor change. Each ROM will have a different revision number as each network customises differently. This is only really relevant when comparing to the same brand code. so if you have 1.15.405.4 and then 1.15.405.20 comes out, then you need to update.

so, all the ROMs are version, 1.15. They are all the same, they are just different brands.
[Desire General] Arbk:
Nice nfo ;)
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Just to let you know, according to the HTC Desire facebook page the only thing new in this firmware update is that it includes a manual.

The T-Mobile versions had the manual on the included SD Card which is why T-Mobile hasn't received this update.
[Desire General] villiankknd:
This is from the HTC Support from their Facebook page.

My Question: why were the HTC Desire stocks got delayed from 29th to 7th for the resellers?

Some say it is because of software issue, some say it is because HTC wants to get maximum zero day sales number...

so could you give us a definite answer, without beating around the bush?

and what did the update for... the HTC Desire that was pushed out so early really UPDATE?

HTC Support:

The problem was down to a software problem the unlocked devices were delayed as they had to be updated. the on time release of network phones was because it is simpler to complete an over the air update as the sim cards are issued with the desire and therefore can be targeted but unlocked phones may be used with any type of sim card. the update solves problems with multi-touch, the music player and general performance of the desire
[Desire General] assimilator:
This is the very reason why I welcome Google's attempt to prevent the defragmentation of android by offering SIMULTANEOUS OTA updates to both branded and unbranded handsets. How this will affect how much network providers can install their own custom software and the compatability issues with otas remains to be seen. Can't wait to get my hands on this baby.

Dear peter

Thank you for contacting us.

In regards to updates

I can help you with that.

updates like this will be bug fixes, if you phone has issues do it, if not then dont. we can not say what is in these as they come direct from taiwan

I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

Thank you for contacting HTC. [/B][/B]

You've got to love the indepth they go into with with their response lol.
