Still love this theme :)

One question: everytime I wanna install an alternative flip-clock (just love the carbon one of ctbear) that works fine but Manila-theme is back to default after a softreset. Does the flip-clock layout necessarily affect the whole layout or can it be fixed. I believe it can be fixed because with the old ANASTASIA-theme it was also possible to use an alternative flip.

Again THANK YOU DINIK (donation will be delivered in a couple of days!!) :D

hey i noticed that calender image on the home screen stays at "25". is there fix for that to show the correct day? thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXDarkKnight:
so some of these questions might be stupid ill admit it. how big of a chance is there that i brick my phone trying to root it. and if im planning to get a bigger sd card should i get it before i use my original sd card and root it. also if i ever need to how hard is it to put the phone back to sprints os. and anyone one with good advice im open ears guys.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tipharet:
General thread, just for future reference. As far as bricking your chances are pretty slim, just make sure not to flash a GSM radio.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisyoung:
rooting your phone: pretty much no chance. don't hold me to this though, if you somehow manage to do it. even if you do screw it up, the RUU(the thing that puts you back to sprint's os) can easily be run from a computer and it'll pretty much fix your phone.

most important thing: NEVER flash a gsm radio. those things will really mess up your phone because it'll never turn on after you do that.

about the sdcard... it shouldn't really matter which one you use unless you're using apps2sd.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXDarkKnight:
Hey thanks what about the micro sd card thing

The sd card thing doesnt matter. You can get a new one after you are rooted and running a custom rom

With sd cards, there is a 'class' number. The higher number you have, the better it is. I'd go with class 6 or higher. And if you just stay in the CDMA forum, you shouldn't have any problems. Just don't flash any roms or radios that dont mention CDMA

You could just Google "fresh pre kitchen" or just "fresh kitchen", those things will basically root your phone for you

I prefer fresh rom
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
Basically it's just trial and error. It's pretty easy to flashthe ROM's so you can keep changing them until you find something you like..

When you flash any ROM you will usually need to wipe your phone and this will cause anything not backed up will be lost. i make sure I save all contacts as a google type. That way when you flash a new ROM and you sign into google again all your contacts will be restored. There are several apps in the market to back up apps you have downloaded.

But before you do that, boot into recovery...hold down home and power to turn on the phone and do a nandroid. Then mount your sdcard and save the files inside the nandroid folder on your sdcard to your computer. This should be your nandroid of the original 1.5 ROM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXDarkKnight:
on the roms when it says to save to root folder is that the same as the nandroid folder cause when i mount my sd there is no folder that labeled root
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXDarkKnight:
ha im retarted didnt read it good enough you answered that already. on my contacts list if the person has google next to there name does that mean is saved to google and where on google can i see them. i wasnt told or shown anything when i got this phone im sure this stuff is basic
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
heres a question: If I were to root and do a custom ROM, how assured am I that when sprint releases 2.1, I can do that upgrade?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
As long as you dont do the leaked 2.1, 100%. Dont though, they probably patched root, and root is basically being the true owner of your phone.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
What do you mean as long as I don't do the leaked 2.1? If I were to do damagecontrol's rom for example, could I upgrade to sprints build when they release it? Or no one really knows
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
Everyone knows. Yes you can.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
If you want to take the chance of not being able to root again, then install the 2.1 when it comes out. but the devs on this site should have a kick ass Rom within a couple of hours of the actual release.

If the contact has Google beside it then it is saved on Google. iI just log into Google mail and click. on contacts. they should all be there and you can add them on the site and it will update to your phone
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Yes if ur on damage control u could go to 2.1 when it comes out. The leaked 2.1 was a ruu file that was leaked that u could put on ur phone to give u factory 2.1 but by doing that u could possibly loss root and not be able to redo it or be able to use the real2.1 upgrade when it comes out. This is due to it changing certain files on ur phone which when changed can be reversed. It is not recommended to even flash the upgrade when available cause again u will probably loss root. Once the upgrade is out it will a matter or a few hours until a developer here will have a rom out that will be based off of the factory upgraded with the exception that it will likely be tweaked and optimized to run better and faster cause for some reason factory presets like to under use the potential of all phones. And by the end of the first day or two of upgrade being out there will be the same amount of roms to choose from as now. Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXDarkKnight:
i downloaded the 2.1 rom and copied it to my nandroid file but when i go to flash zip it says to zip file found
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
I dont get the fresh kitchen app and how it works. I cant seem to root my phone. I keep getting things such as chmod is not recognized as an internal or external cmomand,

flash_image is not recognized, blagh blah, etc.

I've unmoutned my card, tried mounting it, etc. Turned on debugging. NOTHING.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
First of all to the post above this put the 2.1 rom zip on root of SD card. Meaning directly to SD card not a folder of any sort.

I use fresh prekitchen. Make sure SD card is unmounted. Make sure u check that Google phone option first. Run that and when it resets do it again with out Google phone selected. Then it should work fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
I'm not following. I just want to root it for now, and not use a rom. The only way I can get this kitchen app to work is by putting the files on the sdcard and running the exe from there. However it doesnt find the recovery image, and doesnt finish the process. ugh

if I run this from my desktop for example, it cycles through the process, but says things like chmod is not recognized as an internal or external command, blah blah
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
R u using kitchen or pre kitchen. Gtalk me at cbarlan and ill help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
pre kitchen. Whats the diff? I got it to work finally. Just working on uninstall apps. That part isnt working. Says uninstall complete and reboots the phone, but the apps are still there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmoch2:
Why would you want to? That's the better question. Once sprint releases it's official ROM, then Fresh, Toast and Damage are going to strip it down and make it faster and better... just wait on the Devs, it'll take them a day max to get a custom one out.

Now that Toast has got the .29 kernel, I think this next overclocked Fresh-Toast is going to be the ROM to end all ROMS.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi guys i'm new to andriod but want apps2SD.

I have a generic HTC desire which i bought simfree.

Its got RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe firmware

Now every guide i read it says need a gold card but some people say because its generic i do not need the goldcard.

can some one give me a how to do this without gold card for my stock htc desire.

I do not need custom firmware, happy with HTC one just want apps2SD

Thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sh337:
Basically, you follow the tutorial, but ignore the goldcard bits.

Mine is also a simfree Desire, and I rooted it today with no goldcard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ronaldo_9:
cheers,

did u install apps2sd? hows that working on ur desire?

* here is a good how to www.android-tech.co.uk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SnowManWales:
i have a HTC Desire with

HBOOT 0.80

Radio-4.06.00.02.2

its a generic Desire, from which part do you start without goldcard instructions, tried to follow the guide on modaco by Paul, but the instructions to me seem as if they were written by someone with a lot of technical intelligence but lacking in the finer art of writing tutorials

bit like a tourist asking for directions from a taxi driver:

go down the road and take a right, then take a left, do a 270° turn

when what he meant was:

go down the road for 2 miles, when you see a pub called "The Red Lion", take the immediate right after that, go down that road for 1 mile, take the next left by the phone box, when you get the roundabout, take the third exit

im new to Android phones but not new to computers but that guide baffled me, i was going to check google translate to see if they had a translator for technical jargon written tutorial to plain english

so can anyone help me out, cant find much info about rooting the desire without the goldcard!!

thanks

i hope people will do this i think it will get a result.....

join the protest for htc to make us a way to install apps to SD there just not enough room i said to them its no good its what is really killin this device for me now its not fair its locked out what kind of crazy idea to miss this feature out from day one

1. complaint made in writing and voiced
[Desire General] Scottland:
It's nothing to do with HTC per se, it's inherent with the Android OS - something which Google have already acknowledged and is rumoured to be fixed in 2.2 (Froyo) which will be announced in about 10 days at the Google IO conference.
[Desire General] hija31:
No need to do that , it all depends on Google. This is what I've got from HTC.
[Desire General] swissman:
"Hi, Thanks for your email. We're all looking forward to that... it seems that they have now said that it is 'coming soon' and they have closed the forum regarding this on their site, so at present, it is assumed that it is coming in 2.2. However, until they announce it, it is still speculation. best regards, Pete W HTC "

Ok, nice... coming soon.... but how much time then untill HTC releases it with sense etc?
[Desire General] JTHM:
BUT, do we have any information that leads us to believe HTC will release Froyo for the Desire - I've not seen nor heard anything other than their commitment to support Flash 10.1 for the Desire in a future update?? As Flash 10.1 is natively supported in Froyo an OS update would kill two birds with one stone and supposedly remedy the Android fragmentation issue on all Desires. However a simple OTA update to Eclair could readily unlock Flash 10.1 without the need for a full OS update to replace Eclair with Froyo.
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
Not only on google, but on HTC too. HTC will get Froyo next month, and then its up on them if they will give upgrade to Desire.
[Desire General] stingerpl:
So make a request to put Froyo ASAP, not for HTC to include a core feature to Google Android operating system. This thread is ridiculous :D
[Desire General] Geeba:
Great.... just found this and didnt realize there was a problem like this with the Desire... that really sux! :mad: especially as my Desire turns up at 10am this morning and my trusty HD which I can install 32Gb of apps if I so wanted has just sold on ebay! :(

Maybe I need to stop buying HTC devices.
[Desire General] profet:
The desire is selling like hotcakes - I suspect on a whole different scale to any HTC device before. That makes me optimistic that froyo will be available for the desire at some point. Until then, I'm sure a cooked nexus one Rom will be able to tide us over.
[Desire General] stingerpl:
You do not seem to understand that it is not HTCs fault. This is an Android operating system limitation. So it is a "problem" with every single phone with the Desire.

I wrote "problem" because.. how much apps do you actually install?? I have about 50 apps installed and far from running out of my memory.

Also, of course you can stop whining and install a cutom ROM with A2SD (Apps To SD card).

Just to make it clear: Apps CAN store its data on SD card (like navigation apps storing maps etc) so most of the apps that require storage use SD card anyway. It's quicker that way.
[Desire General] setspeed:
I have to disagree, it's not an inherent problem with Android, but the fault of the handset maker. Android installs apps to the system memory - this is a fact. The manufacturer should provide adequate ROM memory for this.
[Desire General] Ommadawn:
That's a valid point. If HTC had simply put more memory in the device itself, accessible for apps and such, this would be a negligible issue.
[Desire General] antz88c:
personally, it will sure be handy but for me, I have ll the apps that i needed and my available space is still 113MB on my HTC Desire.
[Desire General] hija31:
This is what I've got :
[Desire General] setspeed:
Wish I could say the same. I have 47 apps installed (including Navigon satnav, and 6 or 7 games) and I'm pretty much out of space. I'm reduced to making decisions on whether or not I can be bothered to try out a new game because it means uninstalling one that I already own... I also had to get rid of Google Earth, simply because I hardly used it and it took up so much space - however I would've loved to have kept it because it's nice to show off to people.
[Desire General] setspeed:
In fact, despite this not being Google's fault (HTC's penny-pinching) they are still going to address the issue in Froyo, for the good of the users. I imagine they are doing this to avoid any further harm to the Android name. Whatever the reason, good on 'em.

I for one will be happy when Froyo is released, and if HTC don't get their arses in gear quick-smart with a Sense update then I will be rooting (if I haven't rooted by then already). I'm only waiting now because it seems VERY complicated compared to rooting the Dream which I had before, and also I don't really have the time to devote to it right now, or to having a potentially unstable phone/ROM. But I'm not that enamoured with HTC or Sense, so when I do eventually get hacked off, I will root.
[Desire General] choccy31:
I deffo need space as I have to leave off or keep swapping apps around and I only use ones I need to or have actual value.
[Desire General] mornixuur:
Still not reached the memory limit but getting close. So i keep my fingers crossed for the update. I think both Google and HTC are doing their best all we need is a little patience.

Btw although navigation software puts the maps on the sd their memory footprint is very different. For example, both Navigon and Copilot will use over 15 mb whereas Sygic only uses 8 mb.
[Desire General] setspeed:
That's good to know mornixuur, and may help some people decide on a particular satnav, although I'm very happy with Navigon and won't be changing to save 7mb :-)

I think you have to agree that it's pretty sad we're even having this conversation - why on earth should our decisions be based on a few megs when I have an 8GB class 6 microSD card in my phone which only cost me £11? I know that ROM memory is considerably faster and probably more expensive than SD cards, but really - how much would it've cost HTC (remembering they get huge volume discounts) to stick a 4 gig ROM chip in the phone? £5? £10? That way this issue would affect hardly anyone.

And it's not like people haven't complained about it before - every HTC Android phone has had the same problem, since the original Dream. You'd think they would learn! No, it's as I read on another thread somewhere - although HTC are more than capable of designing decent handsets, somewhere along the line the bean-counters get involved and decide to cut corners with cheap, inadequate components, such as not enough RAM (which was a problem with the Dream from the outset), crappy touchscreens (all HTC phones, except the latest Incredible), last generation processors (up until the HD2/N1/Desire/Incredible), cheap speakers, etc etc.

They buy huge quantities of the cheapest parts they can find and then use them until it's no longer viable and the competition has a significant technological lead for months (iPhone 3GS, Motorola Droid). I think it's planned obsolescence, as they release a new "must have" phone every 2 months, which in reality is only a very slight upgrade from the last. By the time a year has passed, you are looking at your HTC phone and comparing it to the 4 or 5 which have superceeded it, and you want a new one. Very clever, I must say.

The only time where they have cocked this up is in failing to release a high-end QWERTY keyboard Android phone in the last couple of years. I held off from upgrading my Dream for ages because of the lack of a decent one on the market (Droid/Milestone doesn't count because the keyboard was ****e).

Eventually I had to get something new because my nearly 2yr old Dream just couldn't play with the big boys any more, despite all the modding/hacks that the geniuses at XDA have provided (and I'm very grateful for).

Incidentally, I'm still waiting for a decent QWERTY to come out, whether that be the Droid 2/Nexus Enterprise Edition (with alleged better keyboard), or something from HTC or another manufacturer.

Anyway, rant over! I still love my Desire, it's the best thing I can get in this country at the moment!
