[Hero CDMA Android Development] jocampo86:
i have a dumb question am loving this rom so far but how can i get my stock white clock with weather ...???????/:o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
You would have to flash or push another "worldclock.apk" but you would loose all the color in the DeskClock :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
I did a double take just a few mins ago when I realized I had to actually install google maps :D I installed the "maps" version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jocampo86:
well ma screen looks empty with out it or maybe i just got used to it??one more question sorry...wath is the difference bettween phone and phone ???where can i find the clock apk or clock zip??:o:o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
What white clock? You know the clock widget has a slew of clocks to choose from.....

....the green phone button is for htcdialer, and the black phone is for aosp dialer :) Just giving choices where I can, that take up very little space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
man this is no good. i replaced everything back to the disk as before updated fine but stuck on black htc for 30 min, rebooting, something i missed in nandroid? at this point id reset back to my other card with fixxxedsense. whats the exact process,..since i seem to be lacking something here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
When you go into recovery and hit nandroid back up....what ROM are you backing up to? What was the last ROM you nandroided?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RhinoDoc:
Damn you! I was in the process of switching from Pure to 2.07, recreating all my pages, when I saw 2.08 up and had to start all over again. Even with Titanium Backup, it takes a while to flash a new ROM.

Loving your ROMs in general. I loaded this one earlier today, no problems so far.

In the past few days I have had the issue with the spelling suggestions only pulling names from the address book (weird, and really a pain) but I downloaded the keyboard zip again, flashed it, and all is right with the world again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
coming from aloyius back to pure at the moment. my option after that is fixxxed sense.

when i do restore it says via console
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Hmmmm....if you can go back to fixxxed and we'll go from there I guess. You were running Pure at some point after fixxxed correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
yea pure ran great. i copied the sdisk to a folder on my desktop, then droped the aloysius on it and tried to update...i think i did something to the disk r something. pure was hanging up just like aloysuis, put fixxxedsense back in. it just finished, loaded in a timely matter too, so it must be the disk...hmm

how do i reformat that sdisk, act like its a new disk? ill go back tonight and go from there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tj.iscool:
Will there be a version where I can have both the Maps/Navigator & Live Wallpaper...I like that Nexus Live Wallpaper
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
When the official 2.1 lands yes....as of now it's kind of either or. A select few LWP's work with the maps edition....but none of the maps and gallery work with the LWP version.

I like lwp personally....I can always ask for directions or google it, lol. The Nexus Mod LWP is my fave....dark background and nexus colors :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Keep me posted! I've ruined a few sd card in my lifetime...lol. But I also have a ton more new ones around the house :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
so what r the steps for reformatting? this would b my first lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tj.iscool:
Well u still have the 2.06.v3? Live Wallpaper & Google Map/Navigator was workin fine for me :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Pop it into your laptop and click on it....it'll ask you if you want to reformat it or not. You say yes, and it will say you'll lose all data on the card....then just hit okie doke!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
It shouldn't have...lol. Try this one out and see what's up, if you had LUCK with 2.0.6....you might just pull the same luck here :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
well i refprmated and it loaded fine with the fixxxed sense, so i messed up on install somehow...ill come back in an hour and try aloysuis again...this time ill double check my process lol:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tj.iscool:
try which one...They both have that better lookin' AOSP dialpad?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Both versions are identical...except for the map vs. lwp :)
[HD2 General] cellphonechris:
I've tried to research this on google and haven't found a good answer; I've received 2 HTC HD2's, one from T-Mobile, and one from Asurion (insurance claim). Both came in original T-Mobile packaging and included brand new T-Mobile SIMs. One was shipped with a SIM marked "MADE IN GERMANY" which has 3 rows of "cells", and the other is marked "MADE IN CHINA" and has 4 rows of cells. The second also has a manufacturer's name & logo: Geisecke & Devrient. Is there anyone familiar with SIM technology who can tell me the difference between these two cards? I'll attach a picture of the differences.
[HD2 General] glcK23:
There is no difference. Enjoy your phone:)
[HD2 General] cellphonechris:
There is an obvious physical difference... Whether it affects functionality or daily usage is a seperate issue, but I'm more interested in what the technical aspects are. For instance, I know older SIMs had less capacity for contacts and were then upgraded to include more.
[HD2 General] cellphonechris:
bump to main
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Ive also recently seen Sprint/Nextel IDEN SIMs that also only have the 3 contact points on the SIM. I don't know anything about the storage capacity of the SIMs, but the bottom pair of contact points are not used on a SIM

See the pinout here http://pinouts.ru/Memory/SmartCardIso_pinout.shtml you'll notice there are several different styles of the layout for the contact points but they all still physically line up to the same spot on the card. you'll notice many phones only have 6 pins in the SIM card slot as well.

Im guessing those bottom 2 contact points may be used during manufacture to write in the encryption keys during manufacture, then subsequently disabled after programing to keep people from hacking the SIM cards

The newer 6 point cards may have some other way that they are programmed at time of manufacture, or the contact points are just left off for cost savings, less metal, less gold plating used.

Whats different about this version...? because your not telling us much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
It is mainly only a maintenance update...does seem to run faster and smoother for me and GPS is pretty spot on now..

Not much to tell really..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bczrx:
Until the new BING is able to access my contacts, I will continue to use the September 2009 version I have.

I tried this new one and I don't like the way it locates movies [the old one let you search by theater or by movie] and I have to type/speak a friend's address in to get directions to them [the old one let you select from your contact list to set either origination or destination points].

These are 'deal breakers' for me. Until they are resolved I won't touch the new BING.

I'm just glad I saved that old .cab!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jamssx:
Couldn't have put it better myself! Why they got rid of contacts is a mystery...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:

The only thing nice about the newer versions is Style/Look...

The old are still the best...

Can somone please post a link to the best available BING cab for the Sprint TP2 ????

Thanks.

I was using the stock Sprint 6.5 ROM for the TP2 and preferred that version of BING to the new one.

I lost that version of BING when I installed MightyROM Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rorytmeadows:
Garbage. Why do they not put their bird's eye view back in? It's really the only thing going for Bing.

Is this the cab from the Sprint WM6.5 or is it an earlier one?

My Sprint WM6.5 Livesearch gives me a Bing version of 4.6.9179.1 (OEM). Is that this version?

I ask as I would like to have a backup of my Bing version [or newer] so I can continue to test Bing upgrades as they come out and then I can revert to one that allows access to contacts if the newest Bing doesn't.

My Bing cab is an older version. I would have to install it to verify which one, but it was from September 9 2009.

Thanks again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
This is the older version...I dont have all the info as I just pulled it off my buddies server...

But I can tell you its from July 2009 :) so I know its the Older Version...

Ok, thanks for the update.

Just for everyone's benefit, I've loaded the Bing from September [9/11/09]. Just fyi

New Version

There's another new version of Bing out which does a MUCH better job of navigation than the previous version. Might be worth checking out and comparing to the version prior to the UI change.

http://www.discoverbing.com/mobile/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bczrx:
Please download and install it, then report back which version it is. Then could you tell us if it allows access to our contact list when trying to get directions?

I am tired of downloading the 'new' one only to find out it is the one that came out a month ago that I downloaded only to remove as it didn't allow access to contacts.

If we keep track of version numbers then we can tell if 'new' is really 'new'. Also, I don't care how new it is: without access to my contacts I'll stick with the old bing or google maps for mobile.

I know the 'new' one that was released in late April worked very well for directions, but it still required you to type/say the address of the destination- it didn't allow access to contacts.

Thanks for the update though. Please report back with any comments about the contacts issue from your experiences.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] worwig:
I haven't used Bing for a while.

This version has on screen zoom buttons.

Looks up contacts for routing.

Has speech routing.

Allows you to select shortest or fastest routes.

This may be 'old' news though, as I said, I haven't used it for a while.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bczrx:
Thank you both!

This version of Bing DOES work with my contacts, so my main beef is resolved. THANK YOU!

I still don't like the way it does the movie searches: by title of movie rather than letting me select a theater to see what's playing there or a title to see where it is playing.

Also, I can't find gas prices, but I never really used that anyway.

This IS a Bing beta, so I am hoping people will continue to let them know what features they want so they can reappear. I REALLY would like them to edit it so that I can see what is playing at a local theater rather than have to guess which movie and look at theaters.

For example, I want to take my daughter to Grumann's Chinese Theater sometime to sit in the original theater for a movie. It's a cool experience. However, I now have to pick movies and see if they are playing there. On the old [6 months ago] Bing I could either search for all local theaters and THEN see what was playing or I could search for a certain movie and see where it was playing. I like the old system better.

I'll keep this for awhile, as my wife and I usually are there together and her phone has the old one for those functions.

Thanks again to the two of you for letting us know!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] brytonic:
I just installed the newest Bing cab from their site. The new program looks great but runs kinda slow on my Tilt 2. 8(

The maps are choppy and it doesn't seem to be able to get my location, or get a GPS fix. I can run Google Maps and it gets my location within 2 or 3 seconds, so I know the location service is working.

I am running EnergyROM from May 1st and my Radio is 4.48.25.20.

Is there a chance that the auto phone detect from MS site is having trouble because it is a cooked ROM? Also, is there a chance that it is grabbing a version inteded for the HD2, due to my ROM being a Leo one?

I also checked to make sure that the AGPS is on, Location Service is on, and I went and downloaded the GPS Satellite Data.

Thanks all!

I cannot wait to have free voice guided turn by turn!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bugmenever:
any reason to use this over google maps mobile?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bczrx:
Well, Google maps offers Public Transit direction and Walking directions, and Bing doesn't.

Bing provides the ability to pick Fastest/Shortest/Avoid Tolls/Avoid Traffic/Voice Guidance in giving directions. Google doesn't.

Bing lets you find movies close to your location, based on GPS. Google lets you check out the 'BUZZ' and Layers, but no movies are buzzing in my neighborhood.

Bing lets you find local businesses in certain categories [restaurants (a boat load of types of categories within this one), Shopping and services/Nightlife/Hotels & Accommodations/Transportation/Arts & Entertainment/Government & Community/Health & Fitness], with many sub-categories in each one. I can't find that out from Google's Maps program [that I know of: Please correct me if I'm wrong].

Bing offers News categories to select from, including 'local' which is based on GPS, and offers searching the Web from within it.

Google Maps allows you to search for a place of interest from within, but it is difficult to 'browse' what is available in the area.

That is the best comparison I can think of. I think BING gives more utility in finding things around you and more options to pick a route, but otherwise they are both about the same in providing directions.

I still miss the old BING though. It was nice to have the ability to find the lowest local gas prices and you saw my earlier comments regarding the movie search function's superiority on the older Bing. It just didn't 'look' as pretty.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zarpy:
This is a downgrade not update.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bugmenever:
Thanks, that's awesome!

I've been fiddling with the program, but I am indoors. Does the "locate me" feature only work with GPS? I can't get a signal indoors and it hasnt tried to find me using cell towers?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] worwig:
Voice turn by turn directions.

This version appears to be faster.

I've always prefered the Bing satellite view, but until now the zoom in/out required a D pad making it useless on the TP2.

Just used it for routing and I like the voice directions.

Hard to beat the price for a fairly good GPS with voice assist.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bczrx:
Just curious: of what?

I admit that it offers fewer features than the 8 month old version, but it looks better and I get map readouts faster on it. I would say it is almost dead-even now: better graphics and maps, movie issues and gas prices gone.

Or are you referring to it being a downgrade from google maps?

It is an improvement over the Bing that was released in December. That one REALLY BLEW CHUNKS. I'm sorry for holding back on my real thoughts.

It is moving in the right direction and it IS a beta. Hopefully the RC version will fix the movie/gas issue, then I'll be happy.

When I touch 'maps' it starts off zoomed to where I left it the last time. I don't have to use the menu to zoom in 5 times [or so] like I did in the Sept 09 version. That is handy.

But it needs work.

Yes, I believe it requires the GPS to be turned on. I don't know that it uses the cell-tower triangulation trick. I have never tried the 'locate me' function without the GPS on.

I am inside a building, but near the external wall, and the gps works. My building is single-story and all concrete/steel construction. I have a window onto the hallway, and the hallway ends in a glass door to the outside. The wall in front of my desk is the outside wall. So, I have no direct windows and am in a concrete box and my GPS works. However, I am not in the center of a multi-story building of concrete/steel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rorytmeadows:
Does anyone else miss the birds-eye view? This is the only reason I've ever used Bing (aside from the fact that Google Maps has the wrong street name for my current address).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bczrx:
I did like that feature also, but my location was always off a few hundred feet when shown in the birds eye view, for some reason.

What I just realized is ALSO missing with this new BING was the 'Show On Map' feature embedded in the contacts folder. Admittedly, you had to go to Contacts/person/menu/more information/menu and THEN you had an option to 'Show on Map' for Bing or 'show on Google Map' for Google.

With the new one that option disappears within the contacts.

Hmmmm. Back to the old BING I go. I can live without birds-eye [but would rather not if I could choose], but I want both of the functions that are integrated into the contacts/addresses on the old one. This newest Beta has one of them and the Bing from mid/late April didn't so it is moving in the right direction.

Now I have my favorite movies search method back as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] worwig:
You should try GPStoday. It puts all of your contacts on the map at one time if you want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bczrx:
Cool.

Is it on the Bing map, or the Google map? Or can it do both?

I've never been able to connect my Sprint Hero to my Wifi at home (or at work). Some places, it connects, many places (including those I'm at most often), no. From what I was reading, this had something to do with a known issue with the Linux kernel it's built on.

Will the 2.1 upgrade (and upgrade in kernel?) possibly fix this?

Just curious.
[Hero CDMA General] revlayle:
I've never had a real problem with my wi-fi (1.5 or 2.1) connecting with my hero. Is there anything special on your wireless, perhaps, that the hero (maybe Android, in general) doesn't like?
[Hero CDMA General] Bielinsk:
Never had any issues with wifi on any ROM.

But then again, 3g is fast enough for anything I need and don't use wifi much.

[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
My bad, it does look like it's from the G1 running 1.5 and below, I would still like to get my hands on it though!
[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
Could you do me a favor and pull that file out for me!

I just checked my gumbo 1.5 I have the same file, but it's 5.3 and not 5.2 like you have!

What Rom (for HTC fuze) is the best when considering Speed Stability & Compatiblity

As the title suggests what is the best ROM for HTC Fuze when the MOST important factors are:

Speed.

Stability.

Compatibility.

I don't care much for graphics and all the other bloatware.

I suppose if I must I will just install my own graphical add-ons and utilities.

I don't know if this makes any difference but my carrier is AT&T.

Thank you very much for your time, expertise, and willingness to help :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] boarderknb23:
this is a taboo question, read the thread rules. I will be nice however and recommend NRG roms (219xx version) as they are the most stable. Following NRG i would say Tael rom (219xx version). If you are looking for stability, do not use the 235xx build roms, they are more unstable and more confusing to use.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] benspens:

You could at least check the first messages in TAEL (#5) and Energy ROM (#1) threads.... just 1 up and down from your thread (not for long)

And are you really sure, you want to flash?

I want a faster phone.

I hate waiting 5 seconds for email tab to load.

I also hate waiting 5 seconds from the second the phone receives the call to the point I actually answers it.

I may be wrong but isnt flashing with a fast, stable rom the best solution?
