Seems HTC have released an update, try this http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDow...at=0&dl_id=938

I just tried it and it seems better

I would love a Windows Mobile 6.5.5 with Manilla but what would you prefer.. WM 6.5.5 standalone or WM 6.5 with Manilla. . . Wanna know the opinion of other and why??
[TG01 ROM Development] honolulu.:
both :)

a good with and without manilla
[TG01 ROM Development] farazjk:
I would prefer WM 6.5.5 without Manilla... But I would like wm6.5.5 to be the full pro version without anything omitted. This would give me option to customize my device according to my own liking and requiremnets.

I can't find the original post on this forum that contained the attachment, so I am attaching it here. I'm not sure what was changed in the file to get it to do it. Was hoping I could find more info from the person who made it... but I can't find the post.

Can anyone help with this, please?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That's weird. I just got a PM about an hour ago regarding the same question. When the "mods" thread got "cleaned up" much of the stuff went missing, unfortunately.

The phone text is cleared out in:

Rosie.apk\res\layout-port\button_bar.xml

Attached is a patched XML file that will clear the text out. You will still need to replace the applicable .png files with transparent ones, for example, if you want to remove the phone icon, etc.

Download <--- Right click to save the file, otherwise, it will attempt to load in your browser.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
wow lol thats kinda funny
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I know, right? Well, here you go :p.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Thanks. That worked in removing the phone text, but it didn't center the phone icon on the button. Can you do that, too? :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
I can't seem to find the file that centers the phone image onto the middle button for the launcher. I've tried launcher.xml but no dice. bb_btn_middle.xml perhaps?

Also, could you provide some insight into what folders to edit? What is mdpi, land, port? Which folders get edited with our phone? I find myself constantly playing a guessing game with which folder the edits go into.

EDIT: Ok, it turns out it was the button_bar.xml file. Now that I knew that, I pulled it out of the zip in the first post and the phone icon is centered. Attached just the xml.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
The phone icon is in Rosie.apk res/drawable-normal-mdpi. Its called icon_p_phone_rest.png and icon_p_phone_on.png.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
I didn't need to edit the actual png, it was just something in the xml file that centered the placement of it. It's all fixed.

My goal is all Metamorph's with the black droid launcher with phone text removed, all clear widgets (Digital Clock Widget, GenieWidget, pure calendar, pure music player, power control widget, etc). Genie, pure calendar/music is done. Digital Clock Widget is working, but tapping on it to edit the alarm is busted since the WorldClock was removed for the lockscreen...

I'm sick of remembering which files were editted in the apk files to achieve the mods... Metamorphing will make everything much easier, but it's a process to figure out which files were edited, since repacking the zipfiles usually modifies the 'modified date'.

hi,

ive seen some screenshots of ebook, tv, document etc. -tabs ...

am i blind or why i havent found anything of it until now, i always search in the hd2 themes an apps forum for "tabs" , and looked out every thread, but nothing...

if those extended tabs (like ebook, tv, facebook...) are available, pls tell me :)

regards

ok, i found a tv tab... see more HERE..

cheers

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I got the eReader and document tabs by upgrading my ROM. The ROM section has lots of ROMs that come with these extra tabs.

There's also a Facebook tab that basically takes the facebook stuff out of the contacts tab and puts it into a tab of it's own. You can get that here...

i recently restored a lot of apps from the SD (i use apps2sd) and i realise that the Market won't normally recognise these as they weren't installed through the Market.

the problem is now i don't automatically get a prompt to update them.

is there a way i can force the Market to recognise these apps?
[Android Apps and Games] wankingweiner:
i'd also like to know if this is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
I think paid version of Titanium Backup can do that..
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
If they're free, you can uninstall and redownload them from the market. If they're paid, you should always be able to redownload them [for free] from the Downloads tab.

Slow and painful, but it works. (The reason there's no quicker way is probably to prevent pirates.)

Use aTrackDog... It worked for me...

So are you saying that when you install from the market, if if you have apps2sd, they install on the phone and not the SD card?

And where did he say such thing? :-) He said that if you install apk through ASTRO, adb install, etc., then application will be not registered in Market, so there will be no update notifications for it.
[Android Apps and Games] cauli:
The free version does as well. Alternatively, you can take a direct look at the data in question. I think the relevant records are in the assets10 table inside /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aerozolic:
Hi,

I got Gen.Y 5.5 ROM with Sense 2.1.

Now the problem is that when I open the phone, dial a number and choose to save it to contacts then there's no option where to save the contact - it only saves it to phone memory.

I like to use SIM and store my contacts on SIM only. So I have to manually copy the new contacts to SIM.

Is there a registry key or something to change so that the default save destination is SIM card not phone contacts.

TIA
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] senevichiuz:

Download Diamond Tweak from Montecristoffon's page from montecristoff.webs.com

Scroll down to SIM Contacts and change to Show then Exit and it should work.
[Desire General] benko286:
Yep finally happened, got mine Desire, I bought it first day when it came to my country :)

For now I love it, speed is decent and generally it is amazing device but, I found some minor "problems" that I want to "fix" :)

So first thing that I really want to fox is weather problem, if I disable to Desire so that it doesnt gather location info from WiFi or GPS I cannot see weather info for any city on my homescreen, can I set my location manually so that I can see weather info on my Clock homescreen widget?

Next thing is battery, whenever I plug in my Desire to PC/laptop it is starting to charge, can I somehow stop it(like in WinMo I have an option for it)?

Thirdly problem is mail, I can read them I can sync and all that but on my PC after I read e-mail on my Desire it still says that mail is unread, also when I delete e-mail on my Desire it is still on server when I look on my PC

Another problem is in market, I don't see any paid apps(I only see free apps) and there is no option to sort by best rated/most popular?

Last I want to is to disable stupid haptic feedback on a phone dialer, it annoys me and it uses battery too, any idea how to disable it, I have disabled it in keyboard settings but phone dialer still vibrates on touch.

If you know solution to any of these problems please let me know;)
[Desire General] milan_ns:
Market will display paid apps only to visitors from certain countries.

Country is determined by your SIM card.

If you want to purchase apps, you can insert e.g. UK SIM card and surf the Market via WIFI.
[Desire General] cez10:
i think the heptic feedback in the dialer currently cannot be switched off, i have already made a topic about it, searched everywhere in the phone and nothing :(
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
when adding the weather/clock widget you can specify the city, its the last step. set mail up to delete mail after downloading... open mail app - menu - settings - send and receive - select delete from server

[Desire General] benko286:

[Desire General] benko286:
And app that will track my battery leak, so that I can see battery draining in graph :)

[Desire General] benko286:
Bump plus one more request, is there any 1x1 widget that can simply turn brigtness to auto or off(0%)? :)
[Desire General] ratchetnclank:
check your battery drain via the following steps. create a contact call battery info with phone number *#*#4636#*#*. call it then hang up straight away. go to phone and long press on the number in history.

select edit before call, you can view loads of in-depth detail about the battery from there.

Any idea how to fix it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascottuk:
Ok guys

i have a hero and i absolutely love it, but after following HTC on twitter eagerly awaiting news on the official 2.1 rom i am now considering installing one of the custom roms i have seen here

Like i say im a newb to all this, i have been reading on this forum for some time but this is one of my first posts. Basically i want to know how i go about installing a custom rom

My handset is a Tmobile G2 touch from the UK

do i need to root? what is the best way/easiest way? can this be reversed to use an official rom in the future?

and which rom is universally known as the best most stable, and again how do i go about installing this, and again is it reversible

and lastly what are the risks?

alot of questions, but i will appreciate any help anyone has to offer

many thanks in advamce
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
This should probably have been in the Q&A section...

1. Read my newbie guide on installing a custom rom (covers pretty much everything and if it doesn't ask and i'll add it in)

2. Root is a part of most custom ROM's, you can enable root without putting a custom rom on but it isn't usually worth it

3. Again my guide, or various others are available on the forums

4. Yes it can be reversed, just run an official rru exe from HTC and you'll go back to the way things are

5. This is more down to personal preference.

For Sense you have:

VillainROM (probably most used)

SenseHero

NeoROM

HeroDroid

Legendroid

Raidroid

For Vanilla you have:

aHero

Androbin

VanillaEclair

Vanillain 2.0 (not recommended)

and many others - again check the forums / wiki for details

6. Hehe what risks...

Seriously though:

You can brick your phone (very unlikely), if you're an idiot... (read everything until you understand it and think about what your doing before you click the button)

You can get stuck in boot loops, which are usually recoverable if you just wipe & flash again

You lose your data (sms etc) if it isn't backed up (i'm still working on a complete backup guide)

You might end up with a really pretty Hero v2.1 which is about as slow as 1.5 but you feel better about it cause it looks nice...

Hope this helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apesgrapes:
i'd recommend flashing the mr bang 1.5 first before any 2.1s; see exactly how well your hero can perform. the danger is that (like me) that none of the 2.1s really come close, so you're measuring up the 2.1 benefits against performance, and the 2.1 benefits are pretty much limited to:

- icons in the settings menu (nice)

- 3d gallery (nice but can be sluggish)

- live wallpapers (nice for 5 minutes then :yawn:)

- you have to really EARN that gps lock.

flashing is fun though. get 'sms backup & restore' and pay for titanium backup & make sure you use nandroid backup. you can try a rom & have it running in 20 mins, give it 30 mins to impress you or nandroid restore back & your phone is how it was before an hour has passed.

Does anyone know of the fastest HTC Hero rom that is on 2.1. Like Super D's roms? Or any other really fast roms. Any helpsfull comments are greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] GuestK0066:
SenseHero 2.1!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] knudsen81:
I will say VanillaEclair 1.2.1 is the best 2.1 rom out
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RaduG:
According to the benchmarks posted on the forums, Legendroid is the fastest 2.1 around here.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
This was only tested for video / gameplay.

I would usually say there all about the same. You probably wont notice a significant difference between the different versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] danwar:
My experience with VillainROM5.22 - stable, but slow. without sense ui little quicker.

ahero0.7 and Androbin 1.1110 (both without JIT) with better speed.

latest version ahero0.8 and Androbin 1.11.... beta r2 (both with JIT) with significant increase of speed. but ahero with lot of reboot, Androbin without problem.

my opinion, same as nprussell (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6275129&postcount=344) , Androbin beta r2 is best.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dalet11:
VanillaEclair its the most fast rom i ever test..

Villain 5.3 its the best SenseUI rom i ever test..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xtcislove:
Want a fast ROM? Dont use 2.1!

Use Kimera 1.6 or Modaco 3.2 !!!!! In my opinion Kimera is faster just because of its new overclocked Kernel =) But not my problem next Week my Desire arrive =) =) =)

[Hero, G2 Touch General] scouzer:
I haven't tried any other 2.1 ROMs, but Villain 5.3 is way faster than 5.2.

PS. plus, this is in the wrong forum.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] carval2k:
What's the real need of a fast ROM?

I've almost tried all of the ROM's, since 1.5 to 2.1, none of them without Sense, because the HTC Hero without it, it's only on more PDA on the scene.

I want for lots of reasons a new ROM based on 2.1 running Sense, but so far none it's good enough. All of the ROM's have lots of bugs, lots of missing features, such gmail, facebook (for contacts sync and completion). Another crucial missing features are MMS and APN settings never working fine.

Here I should say that VillainROM 5.3 it's the best/stable/fast until now. However I rollback to stock 1.5 rooted... It's so far the only one real fast and stable.

An idea for developers: Try to put on all of yours cooked ROM's some file browser. It's very useful for the first time to run, before goes to market.

Thanks to all!

I have access where I can buy a US Cellular branded Touch Pro for a very reasonable rate... My friend uses Sprint and has some crappy flip-phone and wants to get a touch pro (he is envious of my Fuze)...

[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
To answer your post:

1. Yes, it can be done

2. Yes, it is highly illegal

3. No, you shouldn't be able to find the instructions on how to do it at xda (however, the instructions do exist somewhere).

4. No, don't expect any help from Sprint if you are going to be doing that (likely, you will end up doing the EPST programming by hand... not that it is complicated or anything like that, but you will not be able to get it to the store since the E$N on the back label will not match the one that will come up on the device's screen (and the reps will normally look at both).

If its from an unknown number (not saved in my contacts), it works perfectly. Any ideas on how to disable this data transfer.

P.S. the car kit displays only the telephone number of the incoming call. no contacts or call records stored.
