[Touch Diamond CDMA] dkehler:
research

check out the wiki section http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ for starting info on how to flash a ROM.

There are certain things you need to know before flashing like if our phone is locked to a carrier.. you will also probably want to backup your contacts and other info, maybe even emails and txts, so you will need a backup application.

You will probably want to make not of your current phones ROM and radio settings as well.

Keep in mind that there is a risk, however small it may be, to flashing a ROM. Please read up on the steps thoroughly before jumping in for the best chance of success.

note, i am currently in the same boat as you, wanting to flash my first ROM, but am still in the process of educating myself on how it works.

I plan on putting together my own How-To written in complete noob-speak once i have successfully flashed my first....

I'm also new to this whole flashing thing.

Recently got bored of the look of my TD from Bell.... and stumbled across this site with so many cool looking ROMS but I have no idea how/where to start even after reading the guides.

Hopefully you have success with yours and teach me and the OP :)

This is the Launcher2 pulled from CM-5.0.6-N1. I have themed it (KANGING OTHERS WORK OF COURSE).

You will also get the black facebook widget!

This has the standard 4 or 5 drawer.

UPDATE.ZIP

apk until I get update.zip fixed

adb push launcher2.apk /system/app

if on cyanogen 5.0.6-N1 you should be fine!

If you get force closes do adb -r /data/data/com.android.launcher2

SCREEN SHOTS:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
4/8/2010 - Colorized/cyanogenized the search widget, also edited the folder icon, now black with cyan android logo.

4/8/2010 - Posted update.zip

People are having some issues with roms other than 5.0.6test1. So to remedy that do:

adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk Launcher2.bak so you have a working backup in case and don't forget to clear launcher data before pushing or after if you are getting fc.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
how about a morph or an update.zip style?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
I will see what I can do when I get home tonight. I did this while at work so I just didn't have the time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
no worries,just thought id ask.not fond of other method unless there is no other alternative.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Brutus2TheMax:
Can this be used on a CDMA Hero? If not is there any way you can port it over?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
I am not 100% certain, can you run:

adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk ~/Desktop (if you are on linux) or the same command with c:\ if you are on Windows and then get me Launcher2.apk that it spits out. I am not familiar with what apps are on that device. If the Launcher2 is the same (I think it probably is assuming it is using Launcher2) then it can be used.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
Any update? Looking forward to trying
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
Sorry school started back yesterday and I am taking 20Hrs this quarter, so my time is very limited.

Until I get time you can do this:

Download, Rename, copy to SDcard.

Open andexplorer (I am sure you have it if you are using metamorph)

Navigate to the Launcher2.apk file

choose it

select package installer, and Voila!

Just as easy as an update.zip but no reboot!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khook1061:
Tried to download but it says invalid file link:eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
SORRY! Link fixed!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khook1061:
Thank you so much. This is an awesome launcher:):)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
Thank you for the props! When the Helix2 gets fixed to work with the newest CM I will redo it and put it up on here too!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
all i get is "application not installed"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
same here using and explorer
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
pushing launcher force closes also
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
so if you use adb push and push the launcher to /system/app you get force close? that is weird because I pushed it myself this morning and it works fine. I see the explorer wont work I thought it would but I will try to get an update.zip made tonight. Sorry for the delay.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khook1061:
I push the launcher and had no problems works great. I'm om cyn 5.0.6 test 1:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
Update.zip posted!!!! Hope you like it!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
Update.zip fixed should work now!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khook1061:
Launcher 2 force closes on the new cyn rom 5.0.6 test 2. Did the adb push :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
yeah, do adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.launcher2

see if that fixes it. I think its because cyan changed launchers in test2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
link dead? Please check.

update:worked the second time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
works great on 5.0.6 t1 :D:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
update.zip posted and working with CM-5.0.6test1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notmike:
So if I had a G1 running Cyanogen 4.2.15.1, and the only thing I wanted was the Nexus one screen switcher (those little dots), so I can change screens without "swyping".. is there a solution for me?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
I would put in a request with cyanogen or in the G1 section. I know Cyan has spent most of last week back-porting stuff to his 4series Roms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notmike:
Ok I will, thank you
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
Updated to latest launcher2 from cm-5.0.6-n1.

Hope you like it!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
do i need to clear launcher data before install?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
no but someone said the update.zip isn't working. I have it in the script to clear the data. I need to check this one out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] estan_0223:
zip not working

yeah, I just tried to flash this and it didn't work. i hope you get it figured out. i love the look of this thing. This combined with 5.0.6 and the CM themed HTC_IME makes my N1 into a lean, mean Cyanogen machine.

Thanks for this, man!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
I screwed this up somehow today! I will repost the .apk until I get a chance to redo the update.zip. sorry about that all. I am just swamped with school and work (20hrs class, 36-38hr wks at work, about 5hr sleep per night)!
[Hero CDMA General] cptkool:
hey all, like most people here, i've been flashing my phones like crazy for the past couple days to trying out all the new roms :) it's been fine for the last couple days and sundenlly it just stop working this morning. It wouldn't turn on or anything, when i plug the usb in, window gives me an error as it cannot connect to the phone. I try the charger and it wouldn't charge(the charging light on the phone wouldn't turn on). I just got my phone replace last week due to theft. So is my phone bricked? I've flashed my phone alot and each time i wipe everything, could that be the problem? if i take it back to sprint store you think they would send me a new one? thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] VinceOB:
Take it in and find out...
[Hero CDMA General] HERNANDEZ4LIFE:
Just curious... what rom were you running when that happened?
[Hero CDMA General] dfbonney:
Pull out the battery, remove charger.

Put the battery back in and dont press anything. Plug it into the wall and see after ~60 seconds you get a charge light.
[Hero CDMA General] natelw:
I just got my phone replaced with the exact problem. Took it to sprint and they ordered me a new one under the HTC warranty, no problem. I didnt say anything about flashing just that it stopped charging and would not turn on anymore.
[Hero CDMA General] dfbonney:
Just remember that if they get the phone to boot after you turn it in and they find out its rooted/ROM'd that they can fine you the entire price of the phone. Not trying to scare you but it has happened to people. However, it does seem there have been quite a few complaints about USB "issues".
[Hero CDMA General] animal7296:
I too have had the usb charging issue. Try moving the usb cable around in the phone and see if it contacts. Mine does by lifting up on it. I called Sprint to see what they can do and they said that it is caused by the user. I laughed at them and said some not so nice words then hung up on them. Then took it to a Sprint store and they ordered a new one for me without any questions.

as a side note I am glad they are replaceing it cause now the speaker is blown and the paint is peeling from the power button.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
Also, FYI, my kid's hero's charger died on him (the one out of the box). We thought his phone was broken because it would not charge or be recognized by the USB. Then we tried out my charger and, boom, all good.

Worth a shot....
[Hero CDMA General] cptkool:
alright guys, thx everyone for the reply, status update: I try everything that was mention here, pull bat and putting it back(several times), moving charging cables, letting the charger sit 60sec, none of it work. I know my phone wasn't out of batteries cuz when i went to sleep it was about 86% left, so i thought my bat blew out on me after a week of usage. so i just left my phone in my pocket and after a while it started getting hot, i was like wtf, and took out the bat immediately. i leave the bat out for about 30min, put that sucker in again, and voila, it power up, everything was back to normal...anyone know wth's going on?:confused: of course i'm very happy my phone is working again :D
[Nexus One General] garfnodie:
Whenever I'm typing something and a notification come through, the keyboard goes away causing me to have to reopen the keyboard and start from the beginning? This is especially annoying when searching the market and installing something as well. I'll be tying while something is downloading, the download finishes, the keyboard closes, start typing again, app finishes installing, keyboard closes again and have to start typing from beginning again.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigdyl69:
Basically they are different builds worked on by different teams at MS. The 21xxx builds are the most stable but less finger friendly and the 23xxx and 24xxx are the newest with a bit of added glitz and are more finger friendly. Just try one of each and see which you're more comfortable with :cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alienex:
The 21xxx build is more like the classic windows pda with the start menu top left of screen. The close button is classically top right.

The other versions have buttons on the bottom which are usually bigger and you can use your finger to navigate easier. Generally I usually revert back 21xxx build as I have found that most roms now are quite heavily modded and anything higher definitely causes my HD to slow up apart from BlackStonehenge which is ok for speed IMHO.

It's down to personal choice really and you need to try them out to see what they are like. Once you are conversant with flashing your device as per the instructions then it's easy enough to try them out to compare for speed and how you like the ROM.

Is there any of these roms or apks that will allow Wired Tether or Usb internet sharing WITHOUT! having to purchase some other program. Everyone is so up in the air about wireless tethering, but I have noticed that is drains the battery so bad and the battery gets hot. Does anyone have the solution for error 67 on sprint cdma heros while tethering usb. And I have searched with to no avail.

mrfordwrench
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
My guess is you didnt do a search. With the "wired" tether you need the service enabled on your account. With the "wireless" tether it just works.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mccsomthin:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=656634&highlight=mns
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrfordwrench:
Actually I did search, but you didnt fully read my post I guess.

I know it works with wireless tether, therefor it should work for wired.

But noone has taken the initiative with wired tether that they have with wireless tethering. Wireless would be great if it didnt drain your battery.

But you cant even have a charger hooked up with wireless tether and keep the phone going because the battery heats up. With wireless tether you have 2 radios working full speed an hence draining all the resources. With usb tethering you only have one radio working.

fordwrench
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] subliminalurge:
That is demonstrably not true.

I routinely use wireless tether, both on AC power and on battery power, and I've never noticed my phone getting unusually warm. Furthermore, I specifically use wireless tethering because it allows me to use the USB port for AC charging, which is much faster than having the phone plugged in to a USB port on a computer.

But, as far as your original question goes, all you need to do is spend some time on Google learning how to configure networking on Linux. The underlying Linux networking stack that the Android framework depends on is easily capable of acting as a router. All of the various tethering solutions, whether wired or wireless, are doing nothing that couldn't be accomplished with a few well chosen commands from a shell prompt. The apps are just putting a user friendly interface on it.

I'll admit, though, it would be nice to see a GUI app that offered ALL of the options to the user, instead of just focusing on tethering through one method...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jaybob413:
FWIW, I have actually gone back to the 2.11_002 PRI, just to be able to use Internet Sharing. I have been in this mode for several days, and have run several different 2.1 ROMS with this PRI. Sprint TV and Sprint Navigation have been working (although I can't say that I actually use them much). Sprint Nascar and Football do not work (but I usually removed them anyways). Also Sprint does not show up on the lockscreen, but I can live without that as well, as I am already aware that Sprint is my carrier.

What I did to get this to work was to make a nandroid backup of my current setup, then wiped and flashed a ROM (DamageControlv1.1beta5 in my case) that changes the phone to the 2.11_002 PRI (had to boot twice before it showed up in settings > About phone > Software information). After this I just did a reboot into recovery, performed a wipe (data/dalvik/ext), then did a nandroid restore of my original setup.

This has been working well for me for a week or so, but YMMV. There may be some other issues associated with not having the sanctioned Product Release Instructions for my phone, but I have not come across anything yet. Perhaps developers or members with a better understanding of the difference may have some additional insight, but it is working quite well for me. I can't really offer any help or insight other that to say that it works.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrfordwrench:
"I'll admit, though, it would be nice to see a GUI app that offered ALL of the options to the user, instead of just focusing on tethering through one method..."

Thank you

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
I use easytether myself, it was a lot cheaper than pdanet. But pdanet does have the cool sms passthrough to the computer... anyways, you can use both of these for a free trial, after that it is still useable just can't access https websites (so no checking your bank, etc.) But I still use wireless tether quite often as well since I have a lot less trouble with file downloads, etc. Also, if you plug your phone usb cable into the actual phone charger that came with it instead of the computer or an aftermarket usb charger, it will charge while wireless tethering. Stock USB is only listed for 500 mA, where the one that came with the phone is 1000mA (both 5V)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] avhokie:
Is there a way to change PRI outside of flashing a full ROM? If it requires a full ROM, how can you tell which ROM has PRI 1.68_003 (or possibly 2.10_003)? I have had 1.70_003 since I bought the phone and that one always gives me error code 67 when trying to use internet sharing. I think the other two official PRIs don't have this error. I am currently running Damage v2.05. I've read this post but I'm not sure that applies to my situation...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrfordwrench:
Ok I was using damagecontrol 2.05 before but thanks to the guidance of the responses I switched to darchlegend and now mns works with sharing.

Thanks for the all the positive and negative responses....

So I guess it has to do with what pri is installed per the Rom update.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bcnice20:
Internet sharing works with any pri on darchlegend

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] subliminalurge:
Thank you.

Exactly what I meant.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] avhokie:
Interesting...so error code 67 is not tied to the PRI...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrfordwrench:
Ok so I had Damagecontrol2.05...works great!...just cant use internet sharing.

Installed Darchlegend and it was ok...but not as good, however internet sharing works. Getting strang txt messages like from voicestream, and I am on sprint.

Voicemail wouldnt work properly. So went back to Damagecontrol2.05 for now and trying to figure out how to get internet sharing working.

Hi All,

here is my dilemma. My company loaded some type of new encryption and I got the following message on reboot "Company Policy has enabled device encryption. Startup has been suspended. Select unlock to continue." So I unlocked and it then runs through an install routine for the encryption doodad.

Anyway, now my HTC Clock on the Home screen, (the one that flips and has the weather) is stuck on 0:00am. The Windows Mobile time is correct when you go to try and set the time so it looks like it has something to do with the HTC Sense clock (?).

has anyone seen this before or have an idea of what is happening and how to fix?:confused:

I'm running stock Verizon WinMo 6.5 with Sense 2.1.

Update - kinda surprised that there have been no replies from this excellent forum after 42 views...anyway, I found that if I uninstalled the cab to stop the HTC Clock Flip and reboot, the HTC Clock reads the correct time again....but it's flipping again which drove me crazy to begin with. Just curious now how a encryption update could foul up my clock cab?

Hey there,

Does anyone also own a Freedom Pro Keyboard :confused:? It works to install the ****ty Firmware but i cannot connect the Keyboard with, so that the User defined Shortcuts are unable to manage :mad:.

They (according to their FAQ) know the Problem, but their solve doesnt

work.

So my question to you guys is if you solved this problem.

thx a lot for any helpful answers :D
[HD2 Accessories] rjstep3:
I have had nothing but trouble with Freedom keyboards - I tried the Freedom Pro, but I could only get it to do the basic keyboard functions with my HD2, no special buttons or characters. I sold it to my wife who uses it with her Blackberry without any problems at all - possibly this is an issue with WM becoming defunct, developers can't be bothered to produce proper software for the platform any longer.

I remember I had issues with the Universal 2 before that - again, it works ok as a basic keyboard with the HD2, but both keyboards actually stopped working if I loaded the proper drivers!!

Unfortunately, with the departure of Stowaway/iGo, Freedom are in a monopoly position in this market.

Bottom line - if you want a basic keyboard of a good size and ease of use, it's ok, but don't imagine you are going to get fancy features based on my experience.

rjstep3
[HD2 Accessories] martinsan:
Ok, thx anyway for information ..

i bought it because of the ability to define Shortcuts :mad:

i think i sell it on ricardo / Ebay ..

but i've seen some other Keyboards somewhere in a I-net-Shop.

so hopefully i will find some handy Gear :D

update:

is it possible to inactivate the WM HID Software ?

maybe this would help .. or try another Bluetooth Stack ?

ok again update:

maybe they fixed something, but i downloaded a few minutes ago

the Firmware (its the File for Broadcomm BT Stack, message to all noobs like i am :-)

installed it again and , hey , it works !!

thx because i was going to be angry ....!!
