[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
I would have to disagree about that. I havent checked to see if theres an updated version, but thats for CyanMod 4 not 5. If it is, then all the graphics are gonna have to be pulled out and put back in. Theres also 14 apks in the zip that was linked. So you might have a chance of getting the the launcher and the clock done in +/- 10 minutes but if you want the whole theme, icons, .apks and everything included, its gonna take a lot longer than that. If you try and use the same framework-res.apk its not gonna flash. And you would need an updated Android.policy.jar and services.jar. Its totally possible though. And if you want to try and prove me wrong, I say go for it. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Leukay:
I know you would need to pull out all of the images. It really wouldn't take all that long (for me anyways lol). I mean no disrespect in anyway because you are more experienced in theming, but it really doesn't take much time at all to replace images and resign the apk's.

@ the darkstar theme, I'm working on it haha. There are like 3 little problems with it and I haven't been able to work on it for a few days cause I've been really really busy, but once I get a few minutes I will definitely work the issues out and upload it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vrekk:
Lol, I got this theme ported over already guys, just I haven't released it yet lol, its waiting for DarchDroid 2.6
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coldsweat:
:p

nice work, glad to hear :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vrekk:
If yall got any other themes you want ported just PM me, its my gift to the darchdroid project
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coldsweat:
holla
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coldsweat:
hows the progress on this port coming along? ;)
[Hero CDMA General] barbiedollish:
So HTC just tweeted that the 2.1 rollout for the Droid Eris starts TODAY. This blows. =[
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
Let the crying begin.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
That sucks. Sprint needs to get off their ass and give us our 2.1.
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
^^^^^

this ive had 2.1 for months :D
[Hero CDMA General] barbiedollish:
I just flashed back to 1.5 from Zen's ROM. 2.1 ROMS are nice, but not everything works. Especially facebook sync. I don't think I've flashed a rom yet where it worked lol
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
2.1? I want 2.2 damnit! I've been running 2.1 for months!
[Hero CDMA General] afma_afma:
:eek::eek::eek::eek:

:( :(:(:(:(:(:(
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
Yeah, this is getting ****ing ridiculous.

Although most of us may have rooted and loaded 2.1, it;s still not officially supported, so we're all walking around with ticking time bombs.

I just wish Verizon would offer incentives to Sprint customers to switch. I'd take an Incredible tommorrow if I didn't have to pay a ****ing ETF to Sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
Sorry, but LMFAO.

[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
Yeah, OK, that was dumb, but we're still running 2.1 on rooted phones completely unsupported.

2.1 has been out for ****ing ages, and everyone's now getting the update, except us.

I have it, but I keep getting sense reboots, cameras crashes etc etc.

At least if it happened in the wild on 2.1, we'd be able to moan at Sprint, instead of the devs..

Just sayin'
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
I don't know why people are still upset. You bought it with 1.5. It is not a right to get 2.1. And besides, we have 2.1. Almost bugless. I'd even say it's got less bugs than the 2.1 we will get.
[Hero CDMA General] OtisFeelgood:
Fresh 2.0d has perfect facebook sync.

+1
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
as it should, the hero is being treated like pure **** right now.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
+1 but id buy the droid myself. verizon rates are horrid compared to sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] ziggy682:
Name one phone on the planet that has been updated from 1.5 or 1.6 to 2.1 before today.

Who is this "everyone else" that you're talking about. The Droid Eris is the only Android phone on earth that has received such an update. If you believe the Best Buy leaks from last week, Sprint nearly beat Verizon to the punch, but evidently found a bug at the last minute.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
you do realize however stable our current 2.1 roms are they are far from the final we will get.
[Hero CDMA General] comintern:
I'm not sure what the big deal is. Now the devs can start making GPL requests for the Eris 2.1 kernel code... Should speed up the rooted, optimized ROMs after the Hero source comes out. Is anyone really going back to Sprint RUU when they release this :confused:? All this means is that Verizon QC for software updates isn't as good as Sprint's -- I'd watch for a Verizon maintenance release about a week after Sprint drops the update.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Does getting the Eris ROM and eventually it's source help make the Hero's ROMS better?

Edit. Or what he said...
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i dunno, all i remember is the prl issues we had from stealing from gsm roms and incorporating them in our cdma roms, remember?
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
I'm not planning on RUUing my Hero or my wife's. I prefer to keep my phone rooted and I'd rather wait and see what the devs here do with the official source than use the release version. Sprint releases suck. Always have, back before WinMo.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Which were easily fixed. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
yeah after a **** ton of headaches. :D
[Hero CDMA General] someonenewhere:
what is a 2.1 update?
[Hero CDMA General] Tipharet:
I like this guy.
[Hero CDMA General] OtisFeelgood:
HTC was pretty quick to release the Droid Incredible source code maybe they're release the Hero's 2.1 source quick too.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
+10charsss

i was there for it all. lets not do it again.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Was before my time. :D
[Hero CDMA General] npham179:
I'm just making do with the PureHero rom and don't care for the official 2.1 release anymore. I'm tired of all the "he said she said" at Sprint.. I'm just waiting for the Evo4G to come out and I might switch to that phone.

[Hero CDMA General] barbiedollish:
That's the one ROM I haven't tried. I really hope it works, but if not, 1.5 is running fine.

edit: Hopefully someone over on the Eris will upload the official ROM asap
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
and the funniest part about it is, they get theirs over the air, sprints to chicken to send it out over the air, their scared they will end up with alot of bricked phones lmfao, freakin noobs, they want us to update our own phone which is fine with me, but its the point that sprint claims they have the largest and fastest network but yet they cant push anything over 90mb, what a waste.
[Hero CDMA General] Nanan00:
Sprint will release the 2.1 update a week or so after the EVO goes on sale, doing so any sooner would cannibalize sales for the new hardware.
[Hero CDMA General] barbiedollish:
I've seriously been thinking that for the longest.
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Will Hero suffer the same thing ?

Can we expect the same for the Hero release ?

The BadA number of enhancements we've been waiting for and were initially promised by Verizon don't seem to be happening. My travels across the intertubes have found several reports:

Pinch to zoom in Google Maps is not included

Voice input keyboard is not included

The 3D gallery was not included

Friendstream was not included

The 50 percent time with no signal bug was not fixed

The signal bars bug was not fixed

Is there a way i could duel boot windows mobile and android OS on my hero?

Thx lots

"sry if there is already a thread about this"
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
windows mobile died didnt it :P
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
No________
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Why would you want to downgrade to WinMo?
[Hero CDMA General] pachina:
just to do it
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
As far as I know there is no way to dual boot the two.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
after wp7 comes it will.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i admit it would be a fun idea to play with but id prefer to get webos on the hero. :D
[Hero CDMA General] pachina:
Is there any duel boot anything?
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
I believe there's an Ubuntu port that can be dual booted on WinMo.
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
Erm, so you're going to emulate Windows mobile to emulate ubuntu. Doesn't sound like it will... work decently.

There isn't a way to get Windows Mobile on android; if you wanted windows mobile, you shouldn't of bought a android phone.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
there isn't a way? You tried?

I'm pretty sure if someone is committed, they'll find a way :)
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
This, and his 10chars.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
I was replying to someone else. Not sure why you quoted me on that one. I have no intention of ever running WinMo again, it even says so in my sig.

However if someone else wants to emulate WinMo on the hero I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to try. A lot of times people do things 'just to see if they'll work'....so lose the attitude.
[Hero CDMA General] pachina:
yeah there isn't really a reason i want to just to see if there is a way and to see how it runs and such

Any way that the G1 can pull in this bandwidth?

http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2010/05/tmobile_lights.html

"T-Mobile said that portions of New York City, New Jersey and suburban Washington, D.C., now have access to the faster 3.5G network, which will permit for faster downloads and uploads of data over the wireless network."

"HSPA+ is capable of pushing data downstream at 21Mbps, which is far and above what some of the current 3G networks are capable of."
[G1 General] SiXiam:
No, nothing but (T-Mobile sanctioned) usb devices can at the moment.

The first phones that can are going to hit sometime in the third quarter.
[G1 General] tep065:
I take it that its a specific chip that picks up that signals and not something that can be upgraded via firmware or modded radio then?
[G1 General] wyseman76:
The G1 / HTC Dream will work, BUT the device is limitied to 7.2mbps, so while you will not see speeds of 21mbps you will see a general increase in speed in HSPA+ areas.
[G1 General] SiXiam:
Yep, you need a new phone for hspa+.

The Nexus one can't even do it... :eek:
[G1 General] nexus5894:
The Nexus One can, just only up to about 7.2 Mbps. Looks like the radio might support faster though, so we may see HSDPA+ or faster HSDPA support in a future update.
[G1 General] quierotacobell:
I'd be happy to go above 700kbps : )
[G1 General] SiXiam:
7.2 is HSPA max

21 is HSPA+ max

The Nexus One doesn't have the hardware to do 21 Megabits per second, a radio or other software update won't help.

Im trying to change the text color throughout the htc contacts. any ideas are welcome. I've been told that this is not an easy task. First of all the xml files are spread throughout the HtcContacts and HtcResources files so ive been told. i dont know which xml files they are but would like to. ive been looking but not sure and dont like changing things that i dont know what they are. Also was told that since the main text is controled by an xml file in HtcResources that it could be redirected via smali files but i dont know how to do that.

anyone who has this app downloaded... knows that the quicklink icon is bad quality.. it kinda bothers me.. so is anyone up to making a better one??

cause thats the only "ugly" icon on my quicklinks and i would like to remedy it... any takers?? or perhaps someone could guide me and tell me how to do it.. so i can proceed?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
I made this (and I am definitely not a photoshop expert as you can see) and this is not glossy unlike Dinik Anastasia icons but it does sort of do the trick for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
i have switched out many bad icon using CSMI (change start menu icon). works like a charm...

note - i realized that it does matter wherever you store your new icons (meaning you can't switch them and delete the original graphic) and you can't move them around at will. so i just put them all in a folder on my sd card and now no problems.

cheers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ProjektFuze:
how would i go about using your icons? just save to my comp?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
Yep, just save to comp then transfer to phone. You will have to use an icon changer program app like JWMD icon changer, or CSMI (if you search those here on XDA, you will find the cab files with the instructions on how to use them). I use JWMD since it has intuitive UI and is easy to use. Changing icons is a tedious process since you have to do it one icon at a time. Good luck!

[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
If you are a leaker, please follow this tutorial when updating to the OTA. Get us the url to the OTA zip please.

If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:

Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone

$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt

This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:

W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!

Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner, for instance, for the Eris 1.17.605.1 OTA, the complete url is:

https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip

[Droid Eris Android Development] anom69:
i would, but i have no idea what any of that means :|
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
Im assuming either Linux or MS Command prompt?

Thats where you would enter the code correct?

Point the code to the device, then begin the update as usual?

EX:

$ cd /path/to/phone/

$ adb logcat > logcat-accept.txt

Or am I off here...

I have no update as of yet, but would love to help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] McZimi:
?

It just says

adb: permission denied

is this for leak or root?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
Did you go to your sdk tools dir first? This should be for ANYONE who receives the OTA update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] McZimi:
Yeah heres what i did on CMD

cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools\

adb shell

adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
it may be different for me but my tools dir is at c:\Windows\androidsdk\android-sdk-windows\tools

don't know if its different for you though like I said

Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Droid Eris Android Development] McZimi:
yeah mine is different. When i put the folder in my harddrive i played around with some of the names and what not.

as far as getting URL goes, i think a rooted user might be able to get it no problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] turboguy:
If you type adb shell, it will emulate a shell on the phone. Skip that step. Just type

adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt

and it should start dumping to a file called logcat_accept.txt.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
somebody needs to post a step by step how to with complete details so some of us rookies can do this

with what tools and where to get the tools
[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
You can find everything he mentioned with a quick google search.
[Droid Eris Android Development] McZimi:
Thanks for the help. This worked and now im just waiting for it to stop. its been quite a few minutes
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
LOL too true, OK

Google "android sdk" you should be asked to agree to the licence, then on to dl the installer needed.

And once installed go to the tools folder in your android-sdk folder open a command prompt in the folder. I know Linux enough, Can't remember how to so that in windows sorry.

I may be way off here but most rooted users won't be able to/won't want to get the update as either a.) The SystemUpdate.apk has been removed from most root roms or b.) they wont want to accept the update as it will remove their root. This should be for leak users only. I think you will need to have gotten the update, run the logcat and then accept the update and capture the update process. Then the devs can use the url to also obtain the update and test it for exploits/vulnerabilities.
[Droid Eris Android Development] McZimi:
So im assuming that i wont get a link unless im actually getting the OTA to begin with?

You can try downgrading to 2.1v2 (they have the same bootloader, so it might work), but I doubt it's worth it.

well hopefully the v3 people still receive an update. if not, someone needs to hurry up with a link

Ok, I just wanted to let you guys know.....I hope you guys find the OTA.zip file.
[Droid Eris Android Development] andrew8806:
Give people these instructions that jcase have implemented in this post and we may find it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
for those of you who still don't know how to do it, it is very easy.

Instructions(for mac, but very similar for windows and linux)

-Download Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)

-Move SDK to wherever you want

-open terminal

-in terminal type cd, then hit the spacebar, and drag the tools folder from the sdk you downloaded earlier (inside the android-sdk-mac_86)

-type into the terminal ./adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt

Remember these instructions are for mac and would be different for PC (I am pretty sure that on the pc the ./ is not needed in front of adb logcat) Also you should have the droid eris plugged in with USB debugging on while you are completing these instructions. The rest is mostly self explanatory.

What this does is link to download the OTA, so other Eris users can download the OTA ahead of time, and if Verizon blocks people on leaks from updating this will give them a file they can use to update to the OTA.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kevkelsar:
I've followed the steps (just testing it out to make sure I'm doing it right for when I receive the OTA), and I currently have this in my command:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt

- waiting for device -

However, it's stuck there. I can't input anything into my command prompt, and I have turned off/turned on my phone and it still sits there without ending. Debugging is on. Any thoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] t2noob:
That means its working just start the update process.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kevkelsar:
Great, thanks! Just wanted to make sure it is working as it should.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gobd:
t2noob no it doesn't but thanks for the try. kevkelsar that means something isn't working. Are you on Windows with the Eris? If so please read this.

First, install HTC Sync this includes the USB driver you need. On your phone go to menu > settings > application settings > development and check USB debugging. Next unzip the Android SDK anywhere and copy the tools folder to your C: drive. Now go to start > run and type in cmd. Then type in cd C:\tools. Then type in adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt and you're good. I assume you do this right before you start downloading the update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] t2noob:
Thats how mine looks

And when i kill it it makes the txt with all the info on it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gobd:
That's great. I'm surprised it works for you because mine most certainly didn't it said waiting for device and the log never had any information even after I killed the process. Following my instructions the log is updated live.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nemish13:
Do you have USB Debugging enabled?

Settings -> Applications -> Development
[Droid Eris Android Development] kevkelsar:
Yeah, I figured out that I just needed to have the HTC Sync installed. I tested it out and got a .txt file as the output. Good to go when/if I receive the OTA (on 2.1v3), thanks for the help!
