Hmmmm,.... Well I haven't had the experience of swapping and changing ROMs on my Hero,... But having had it for about 2-3 months now, I'm still 100% happy with the speed and stability of the ROM I flashed to it on day 1, ... MCR3.2. I think I'v had 3 or 4 application force closes, and only had it freeze up forcing a re-boot ONCE!!!

I'm sure the custom 2.1's will be just as stable once we get the official ROM to use as a base.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jpalo:
Yes, I would assume so.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] smiskkissen:
I'm not really looking for a more stable 2.1 rom. I just want the speed that is in the 1.5 roms. Since i've heard the 2.1 should be faster the the previous versions I have high hopes får the official release and that the dev can make the most out of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Davith:
So it wouldn't change anything, would it? I mean, don't we already have ROMs made from the Sprint Hero leak?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] raikan123:
Hopefully this news would be true. I'm also looking forward to 2.1 rombut not because of its new capability but actually for developers in enhancing making the 2.1 rom using overclocked method
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chetermaat:
Same here

Hope that devs wil make some nice looking and fast rom out of it.

And no way i;m flashing it on my G2. Lucky that the gold card procedure worked out for me.

Am @ Chpoubs_4.1 it looks amazing
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nanyou:
no feel.....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AdnanKananda:
I just really hope the battery life will improve.

Current 2.1 ROMs are already quick and stable enough for me, I wish the battery would last longer though. Aside from that, there are only a few minor bugs in most 2.1 ROMs that are currently out there, which do not really bother me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bonesy:
Its not the 2.1 ROMS that are the problem its all down to the Kernel,which no1 has!surely if it was coming soon then it would have leaked somehow!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mljjlm:
if you follow the link from the article it says sprint hero...

Looks pretty epic if I say so myself. I dont even care about the ending animaions, but the award bios bootup is pure winz.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
this should be under the theming section
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
If you just want it as a bootscreen, I'll make a zip. Gimmie a few.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
I lied. I can't get it to work...Could be cause I need sleep. Maybe someone else can or I'll try again later.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bob2300nx:
I couldnt decide where to post this...maybe since I was tired because of finals. But, your right and it should have been obvious that this belonged in themes vs here. I went ahead and reported this, so maybe a mod will move it.

Thanks for trying, let me know if you get a chance to try again
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kykiskly:
Ohh

Woww, that would be nice if we can get that to work on the Hero :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
I actually tried them out a few days ago, I'm not the best w/ graphics, but all someone has to do it resize the images and it will work. runs fine, just too big.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zenulator:
It's made for 2.1 roms. Follow the instructions in the thread it should just work. The guy says it was pulled from villain Rom which is a gsm hero Rom. If you're already running a 2.1 Rom and have problems rename the zip bootanimation.zip and copy it to /system/media using root explorer or push it through adb and reboot.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
EDIT:

Got it working it's attached.

Push the GIF to /system/media/bootscreen/

I think I need to mess with the lenght still its begins to loop again.

Not sure hwo to fix that.

But I think that is what the Part 1 folder is for.

I renamed it dancing.gif before I pushed it so I wouldn't ahve to mess with the XML file, but you guys do what you will with it.

Works fine on my phone other than the Fresh boot music doesn't match and it begins to loop a second time LOL.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
they work the same way, this is just another way to do it. If there is no /system/media/bootscreen folder, it defaults to using the bootanimation.zip

either way works.

I looked for the villain rom one, couldn't find it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
See edits above.

I can't make an update zip I am on my work PC. Probably get yelled at in a few for runing Gimp instead of PS. They like to spy. LOL
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
i'm making an update zip. hopefully it works.

edit. ok i have all pngs resized to 320x480 now trying to animate. 90+ images surprised not more really.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] egzthunder1:
Moved to theming as this is not related to rom development.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Thanks for the move!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Did you resize one by one? Gimp lets you open them all as layers and then resize all of them at once. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
ok my pc is sucking it up. i have the 90 some individual images resized and everytime i go to save it photoshop just closes out so i have yet to make the gif.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
no i made an action in photoshop and resized them all. i'm having problems trying to make the animation.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
here's the right one

the first one doesn't loop, just reload or right click and view image

edit: see next page for download
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Sooo 90 images is a little much for PS to handle at once. I am not infront of mine right now BUT there should be an Import as Layers options some where. Gimp is "Open as Layers". When you take all 90 images in as layers each layer is a new frame of the animation.

Once they are all in one gif, then resize the whole gif instead of all of them individually. This will take the strain off PS.

Then on mine, the animation needed to be brought out a little bit longer.

You can either do this or just take my gif I posted a few posts above. It needs the timing played with though.

I have a feeling that even when it is set to Not Loop, the boot screen will loop it regardless. I distinctly remember telling it not to loop but it did any way. That or GIMP is jacked up.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Is this ready for the Hero and already resized????
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] venumx:
itll loop no matter what. android doesnt look for a no-looping tag
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Thanks for the added info, new knowledge to me. Glad to know I don't have to go out of my way to to turn that loop off. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
yep, resized and ready to go. Didn't flash it myself, but should work... let me know if any issues.

I saved the first without a loop, but like ya siad doesn't matter for android, I just meant right here, it won't loop, so to see it again. It's resized, but it would be nice to edit in here info instead of nexus, and clean up from scaling to a different screen ratio.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jcaliendo:
I get the error "Can't find update script" when attempting to flash.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
ergh... i"ll have to look at it later... should be there. At work... can pull the images and xml from it and push to /media/bootscreen/ and make sure there is no zip in the folder.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
try this one
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jcaliendo:
I already pushed over the gifs and xml file. :) I dig it, but the font is too small. It prolly needs to be remade with a different font for our phone. Whatever. Still looks cool.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
this works. i'm no good at gimp ( lack of motivation to learn i think) and since i saw this i trashed what i was working on. Thanks danaff37! :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
I'll work on a little better font sizing tonight.

Does anyone have issues with it restarting the loop before it finished booting? Just curious if I need to play with frame times.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jcaliendo:
Timing seems fine. No loop for me.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] drummingfool:
It is outrageously and unjustifiably ridiculous how happy this boot screen makes me.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
I wish we could have a Verbose out put of LogCat at boot up, that would be SO EFING COOL! and handy.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
Yeah, it would :P Saves me time having to plug it in to find out if my new rom bootloops. :P
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
Do you guys like the second gif? I just threw that together real quick with a quick edit of the last frame of the first, just so there wa some animation afterwards.

Did anyone succeed to make iGO 8.3.4 to announce speedcams with voice and to display speedcam info?

I tried 3 different skins (Dimka, Megaduck99, and Gurjon), all are latest versions but none of them work with speedcam voices.

All skins have instructionsto install voices; I followed them, put the voice files in folders where it would be; I tried both Ultra files and iGO 2006 files.

All skins recognized voices files, it works when I tested voices in 'Settings'->'Warnings' but it doesn't works in real traffic, on the map only appears the speedcam icon and no announcement :mad:

Also I cannot make the skins to display the speedcam info: speed limit and distance to cam (I found some line in the scripts that it would display that info but it doesn't).

Kittipong, when you flash to NAND you actually don't have any system, only a kernel that allows to boot from it. You have to install Android after this step.

I suggest you to follow the guide I made for NAND booting here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625200

I think you forgot to follow some steps.

Hi,

Im using Energy Roms with a about a dozen other applications.

What i want to know is, what is the best way to work out what is using up all the battery power?

Seems this time round power doesnt last as long and im also using updated apps too, so im not going to blame the ROM.

I all ears to your suggestions!

Hi, anyone know if its possible to replace sense email with the stock email app?

Reason is using exchange with the sense one enabled security for the phone, meaning I need a password to unlock which is stupid. I understand needing security but why not just lock that email account rather than the whole phone!

Anyway the email app on my Nexus One doesn't have this issue, anyone know how I can pull the email apk out and replace the sense on?

Thanks
[Desire General] tifosi256:
There is an alternative. There is an app available for free on the market place which removes that password prompt. I can't remember the name of it but search this forum as it's been mentioned before.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
you can't replace it yet, but you can certainly install the stock one. I have it hosted on my webspace

http://rhedgehog.com/apk/email.apk

EDIT: forgot to say, remember that this will not work with the HTC Sense mail widget.
[Desire General] kevinof:
great. Would be even better if it could handle attachments. Is it possible that the quickoffice and pdf viewer are tied to htc sense and not to native android?
[Desire General] Rutter:
Lockpicker, from the market (developed by one of the forum members, iirc) will disable the password prompt, as mentioned in another reply. I use it and it works a treat.

Hi all,

I applied this application to HTC Sprint EVO none-rooted with stock Android 2.1 and it works.

This stock email.apk allowed me to resolve problem with HTC Mail for Android Version 2.00.0037.195459 not having "allow all certificates" option required to be able to Active Sync if you use self-signed certificate.

However, this version does not seem to support Exchange Calendar.

Does anybody have newest email.apk from Android 2.2 which works on 2.1 ?

They claim support for Calendar and GAL, but I don't want to upgrade to 2.2 just to get email app upgraded.

With other words it is unclear. That is why I want to do that.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
It's very easy. If you are using Titanium (the paid version) go into the app and press the backup all apps + data option. This will copy everything. Once you wipe and reinstall a ROM go back into Titanium and press restore all apps +data. Pretty much simple as that

[XPERIA X10 General] kakekeke:
Been using the phone for a while now, and i love it! But, there's "few" issues...

1. How can i remove factory installed softwares ? There's that crappy tetris, some swefish new's feeder, uter crap medai scape that makes me want to hang my self whit the USB cable etc etc. And if i install some software that "overcomes" some default software (origin browser -> skyfire) i would like to remove the original one, to make my menu view bit simplier...

The 3rd party programs can be removed by the aplication manager, but not the pre installed...

2. THEMES!? I rly rly cant belive that there aint no real themes out there for this phone (no, ahome etc. aint option, feels bit dumb for me to run 3rd party GUI ontop the factory GUI) And i dont think im the only one who would pee hunny for getting full black theme on the phone...

3. Taskmanager / APP killing. How its suposed to end softwares in this phone ?! the backbutton takes way too many presses, example in skyfire you need to hit it like 100+ times before you get back to home screen, press the home button, and it "minimizes" it.

i would thode that there would be some OEM taskman like "press home once -> minimize, hold it down in app -> killing the app" in home screen holding it would open the task list... got 3rd party taskman atm, but they fount feel like that they "fit in"

4. The earpeace volume, it way way too low... When you go to the service menu, and thest the earpeace the volume in there is 10x louder then during the call ?! my old c900 had louder earpeace at it's minium then this at max... This is nasty issue since im half deaf (damn bolt gun :( )

5. How can i change Moxier calender's week view to "work week" ? Now it shows Monday 00.00 to Sunday 00.00, and i would want it only to show Monday 8.00 to Friday 16.00

There's for starters :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Astral07:
1. you can't

2. a theme app is being under contruction from SE and will come with an update iirc

3. i use task killer and works OK but i admit, it's quite stoopid...

4. i don't know,i don't have any problems with that, my music volume is very loud on my earphones and i keep it at about 70% for normal listening

5. don't know :)
