Damageless is trying to fix finding updates and themes with his updater tool. The updates will come to you! How cool is that? He is also going to try to help other devs to include a updater on their ROMs. Although this will not fix how cluttered the threads are in this forum it will assist you in finding the latest and greatest ways to trick out your Hero.
[Hero CDMA General] venumx:
the only thing that should change is just every time a fix is found the OP should just take the fix and put it in the first post. People should be able to flash a rom and have the fixes all in the first post, this way people dont ask repeat questions. Whether or not everyone likes it people are always going to post "useless" stuff, which can be viewed as appreciative thanks or just people showing their excitement. I personally like xda a lot because people have personality its not all just straight discussion about a rom or anything like that.
[Hero CDMA General] sbddude:
Maybe we just could have a separate subforum for each major ROM? that way there could be the threads for people rambling and such, and separate threads for bug fixes, releases, etc.
[Hero CDMA General] jcorey:
I'm new 'round here (obviously), and I have to agree, finding the information I need has been difficult with every thread being hundreds pages. Finding that one post of someone with the same problem as me (and a solution) is a monumental task. :rolleyes:

Just give each rom author a thread for people to leave their thanks, and keep the rom threads to discussing the rom.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
+frickin1 for this thread. I think we should just start a poll to vote for someone here to be a mod, and just make the current XDA moderators accept that we have that mod... it's just ridiculous how it is right now.
[Hero CDMA General] venumx:
what about in-thread stickies...there has to be a plugin for it somewhere...where you can nominate posts as thread stickies and all of the thread stickies, once approved by the OP, move to the beginning of the thread, so it would go

1st Post: OP

2nd Post: First approved helpful post

3rd Post: 2nd approved.... etc

that way all of the useful stuff will be right on that first page. If it's not already a plugin...it should be.
[Hero CDMA General] surrealbliss:
Alternately, if a ROM maker wants feedback, why not post the ROM with a poll... users can then answer the poll to give basic feedback like "i like it" "it crashes" "it sucks!", or "its my new daily!"

I agree that it becomes hard to read through the threads, especially like one person mentioned when a ROM has been updated to a new version a few times. Maybe a combined poll could cut down on at least some of this.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
In general, I have been able to find what I'm looking for on this forum pretty easily.

I think you guys have issues. :p
[Hero CDMA General] dwertz:
Poor_red_neck

I agree with you, if you want to moderate, try to grab the second post and paste links to the thread number.

eg

Issue[Fixed] Trackball will not light up, post #567.

GPS [Pending]

etc.

I think this is one of the only ways to make it easy for people to keep track of the issues without getting lost in the fluff.

Even that, if you send the OP the post numbers I am sure they would not mind posting them in the first post
[Hero CDMA General] mikethechap:
Really? No, really? In the 250 page threads?

Right. Like the desire to actually finish reading a thread before I need a nursing home.

All snarkiness aside, I do like the humor, general sense of gratitude, and occasionally the pathos around here. But, it seems like there are improvements that an active moderator, more pertinent forum organization, and some polling might address. All of these might improve the user experience.
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
You can't fix asshole either. To be honest, you don't add much other than your **** attitude. You like to believe you're a straight shooter, but you're really just some dumb**** ****wad that gets off on talking **** on a cell phone forum.
[Hero CDMA General] MRagu:
LOL I believe this would be one of those filled with "USELESS, POINTLESS, BLOATING, POSTS!!!" .... :D
[Hero CDMA General] 98classic:
lol of course you would say that, i saw your posts and you're one of the 10chars guys. you have SO MUCH to contribute between your useless "haha" posts and asking stupid questions. just shut up and quit crying, dont try to be honest because in reality youre a ****ing noob that doesnt know ****, idiot.

edit: i saw my post history and trust me, my input is way better than yours, you have added ZERO besides being a noob so relax and watch what you say.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
simple solution, someone setup a forum somewhere else where active members of the community can be appointed to police the riff raff we attract. Hell, buy the domain and I'll host the board.
[Hero CDMA General] d0nc0l0:
i email the admin for this forums and i told him to make a wiki page for every forom. that everyone can edit and add the problems they having and the answers. soo you don't have to install the rom first and them find out it has problems.
[Hero CDMA General] feld:
I honestly think this place is terrible for information.

Announcements should be done in a thread. People should report issues in the thread. People should ask questions. All other comments need to go away.

AND ALSO WE NEED TO PUT THE INFORMATION IN A WIKI

How amazing would it be to have a wiki page for DamageControl with a section for *each* version, the known issues, the fixes, and then a section where people have contributed their own mods to it.

HOLY CRAP INFORMATION IN ONE PLACE? THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!

This forum is basically run as if it's caught in a time warp and we're back in 1998.
[Hero CDMA General] Zexter:
While I understand your point. All this thread is doing is QQ

If I worked on a ROM for quite some time, and had only 2-3 people say thanks. I wouldn't like that too much.

This is just one of those "nature of the beast" situations. No one is forcing anyone else to be here.

You take the good with the bad, and ya move on.
[Hero CDMA General] jpeepers:
I agree 100%. The ROM threads are out of control and impossible to find any useful information in them. Even trying to search them is un-productive. Then if you dare ask a question you get 20 search nazi's telling you to "do a search"

If you want to thank the developer, create a "thank you" thread then everyone can go "wow", "cool", "24%" etc.

Another option is to have the forum mods add a "thank you" button then user can just hit that with out cluttering up the threads.

.
[Hero CDMA General] thatjerk:
I had a really long night at work. I had to work a 12 hour shift by myself. It was not too bad though cause I got to surf the forums in my spare time. I just wanted to let you guys and gals know that. Since this thread is here I figured it was the best place to tell you all.

If I have any other things to say that someone somewhere may feel is worthless to them I will be sure to post it here so that whomever will not get all worked up about it.

That is all.
[Hero CDMA General] dustinyo:
This is the first time I've ever actually left a comment but I just had to say I completely agree with this sentiment. The DC 2.06 thread is well over 1,500 posts now. Seriously, it's almost impossible to get any useful information out of it.

I also reject the notion that the devs are so insecure that they need to hear 1,000 people say 'thanks' to know they did a good job. Not to mention, if you REALLY want to say thanks then send them a donation, not a useless thread post.
[Hero CDMA General] atoz350:
Would it be better if Devs created a new thread for each release? That way, the thread wouldn't get outdated.
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
Uh... I didn't fill up a ROM thread bud, I posted a NEW thread. You didn't have to click on that link to come to this thread. So... yeah...... KTHXBYE!!!

Recently I've been trying to install the HTC Footprints .apk on to my phone.

I've tried using multiple file managers to install the app, they get to the installation screen and fail to install (yes unknowk sources is turned on), I've also tried installing it via adb but I get errors such as

adb push method:

Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push HtcFootprints.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'HtcFootprints.apk' to '/system/app//HtcFootprints.apk': Read-only file system

Any Ideas on what my problem could be?

I orginally roted my phone manully but I had to reset back to stock due to technical issues, but I re-rooted it using the flash recovery method located http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=584029

Another tid bit of information is that yesterday I could not use my SU (super user permissions) until I installed other roms and wiped it and did a nandroid restore.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJAscendance:
did you

adb remount

adb push Footprints.apk /system/app

?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 31337_haxer:
I found that using the fresh kitchen is much easier especially when I'm trying out many different Roms. Have you tried it yet i know that i have all my .apks setup in the designated folder makes it really simple if I've just flashed a new ROM and need to push all my apps. Hope I was helpful.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatjerk:
Check out Root Explorer in the market. Worth the money in my honest opinion.

"The ultimate file manager for root users. Access the whole of android's file system(including the elusive data folder!). Includes Text Editor, multi-select, zip files, execute scripts, search, re-mount, permissions, bookmarks, email, home, APK binary XML file viewer."

Root Explorer saves me so much time that I wasted putting in all the adb commands to do the same things. It is also the fastest way to remove Sprint's bloatware.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noirad:
I tried this and nothing happend, I also tried

from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551240

and it worked, sort of I got the files to move

But after I did this, I rebooted my hero but I could not get it to load past the boot screen.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troyboytn:
most likely, your system memory is full. try removing another system apk of similar size (something you dont use such as stock, twitter facebook, etc)via adb and reinstall footprints the same way. I have had this happen before as well, and doing what I just stated worked for me
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noirad:
Would removing the voicemail app work the same? adb shell rm /system/app/Voicemail.apk (not sure if this is the code or not)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
you can remove all the ringtones and put them on your SD card... I know RegawMOD uses that trick to save space.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troyboytn:
Yes that would work as well as what mrinehart93 just stated about moving ringtones, etc to the sd which will free up nearly 6 mb of system memory(actually did that myself but didnt think of it). here is a link to accomplish that http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5936137&postcount=3236

Try,

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

exit

adb push HtcFootprints.apk /system/app

See if that helps. Reason it wont boot up is because if you're on a newer rom that doesnt have .odex files, then it wont work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noirad:
I have the .odex files, but I'm not quite sure where Im supposed to put them.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:
What Rom are you running?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregalous:
If adb is successfully pushing the files (like it is in your posts) then the phone is successfully being mounted, so that's not your problem. You also have enough system space, because if you did not it would tell you that you didn't, and I didn't see that error message in any of your posts either.

Most likely, you're using a ROM that doesn't use .odex files (almost all of the 2.1 ROMs that are out now don't, with the exception of DarchLegend I believe) so the .apk isn't compatible because it's missing the classes.dex file and the .odex file won't work because it's not compatible with the ROM.

If you are using a ROM that uses .odex files, then you need to be sure that the APK you're using is the right version for your ROM. If you try using HtcFootprints.apk from a 1.5 ROM on a 2.1 ROM, it more than likely will not work, due to different frameworks and all that fun stuff.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noirad:
Ahh, that could be my problem, Im currently using a Fresh Rom by Flipz running 2.1, but I just found a post by him of the applicastions that he removed and how to reinstall them, I'll try that and let you guys know how it goes

Hello to all you wonderful people again.

I used to be able to watch any videos that I had recorded using the htc album player but today I was showing my HD2 off to a friend and couldn't get them to play, black screen with a continuous buzzing sound only. the time bar was moving normaly tho?

Then I tried to use You tube and that came up with an error so I browsed xda-dev and found it to dl. This version is not as slick or laid out as well but it works! But htc album still won't play videos? It seems that neither will win media player, it does exactly the same as the album player but only on videos I've recorded using the phone, all copied videos/films in wmv format play fine?

I was trying to think what I'd dl recently but truth is.... masses....but it was fairly recently that I dl tmcp coreplayer (free version) from this HD2 forum, could that effect the other players?

Any help much appreciated and Thanks in advance.

I'm using std www 1.66 rom and std 2gb micro sd on an unlocked virgin phone/simm.

Cheers Tim

I feel your pain.......... Ive had this twice now, once after I installed (then uninstalled) core player.

guys I phoned t-mobile and they said that they would send me a new one since I just got the phone, but I am not actually sure if it is worth the hassle, :confused::confused:anyways probably it is a software problem rather than hardware, is anyone using other ROM version to the t-mobile one? i.e. the prementioned above.?

Does the tmobile us hd2 come with a youtube app? just out of curiosity.....
