Many thanks for your response.

I'm not familiar with rooting on the android, do you have any links / guides on how to upgrade?

Also, what bugs come with the upgrade, anything that would make it not worthwhile?

Thankss
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tijnonlijn:
Perhaps its wise to wait a few weeks for the official HTC 2.1 ROM.

I can't take THAT long anymore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Follow BTDAG's guide linked in my signature,... It has all the info a beginner could ever need.

There are a few good 2.1 ROMs available now,... and many more will come in the next week or two.

I can only personally recommend Villain6 and VillianSlide as they are the only two i have played with.... But have also heard very good things about RADUG's Vanilla Eclair, and ROBIN04's AOSP ANDROBIN. But i'd hold of testing ROBIN04's until he has implemented a new kernal, cant be a long wait for that though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicious6969:
Cool,

I'm going to upgrade tomorrow.

Are there any good backup tools to backup ur emails, settings and text messages then I can restore to the new 2.1 version?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] rickeven:
I'm embarrassed to have to post this, but I've looked everywhere and I'm lost...I have a TP2 through US Cellular (CDMA) and I just need to know what version of Sense UI I'm running. My ROM is stock 2.01.573.3 if that helps. I want to learn how to tweak things with a new ROM but I want to make sure I know where I'm at and what I'm doing before I start. What's the easiet way to know what UI i'm using? Thank in advance!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
WM 6.5 sense 2.1
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] rickeven:
Thank you...one more question: One of the main things I want to do is add a few icons to my main homepage (under call history, where the calendar items are now). Can I do this with a theme or would that require a different ROM?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
Different ROM. Requires sense 2.5. You can add a programs tab to your touchflo.

"most of its 2010 phone catalog will indeed be riding Android 2.2 before the year is through"

It will probably be released just in time for new years eve. :-p
[Desire General] Aitese:
Look people...the best thing to do is just enjoy your phone now rather than killing yourself waiting on this because, frankly, with the wait I'm sure is ahead of us it's going to get real old real quick with the "...any news on when? Anyone have a leaked ROM? Any idea when it'll be ported from Nexus 1? Any idea when HTC will update Sense!?" questions every day for the next 6 months.
[Desire General] harolds:
Hopefully it won't be that long.

On another not, is there any news on when froyo will be available for the Desire?:)
[Desire General] Nightstalker79:
We should all be glad they actually announce that they are going to update the desire. I have the touch HD before this and at first they said maybe an update to 6.5 and then they said users don't need update, this was the top of the line phone at the time.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Android since last June have released 1.5, 1.6 2.0, 2.1 and now 2.2. So you can realise that android are releasing a updates every 2 or 3 months. So whats the point in trying to keep up. No manufacturer will ever be able to do this. It's unsustainable. 2.3 Gingerbread is due at the end of the year too. So we will probably get 2.2 a month before Gingerbread, then everyone will moan and complain and want that. Just enjoy your phone as it is now. Google will need to change their behaviour to avoid fragmentation of the OS. i.e. handsets running all different versions. They are working on adapting their updates so they can be delivered to any system via the market without having to be customized for SENSE UI or the equivalent. Lets hope that happens sometime.
[Desire General] ruleamsterdam:
I can understand people want to stay up-to-date but honestly, if people keep complaining about HTC taking to long to get Sense on the new Android version, why did they go for a HTC in the first place? Ofcourse, a new OS will always give nice new functionality but i'm actually quite happy the way it is now and don't really see an immediate need to upgrade.

Running r3 MCR with A2SD+ i think i have pretty much everything i need.
[Desire General] albert_htc:
Bought my desire on 02 @ £285... about to start using it in the UK, but will be moving abroad in the next few months.

How will I be able to update my phone if I'm abroad ?

I'll still have an 02 sim that I could use.. but would that work ?

I don't want to root / flash it if I can help it !!

Thanks
[Desire General] eernie:
They say before the end of the year but i don't believe it.

they promised an update for the HTC hero to android 2.1.

it was promised for march 2010 then april, and now its may and still no update:P

thats how it wil go with the other phones too.
[Desire General] ritdaw:
I personally think 2.2 is quite important for the mass market, the main feature being apps on the SD card. Most of Joe public aren't going to root!

Recently I've converted some people from the iPhone and that seems to be the main gripe!

That's just my opinion....
[Desire General] foxmeister:
2.2 is probably the most significant upgrade there's been to Android.

Two of the main reasons to root are Apps2SD and WiFi tethering, and both of these are now standard Android.

I especially like the way that you seem to be able to choose where you want to install an app (i.e. to phone memory or SD card) and can even subsequently transfer them.

Hopefully this means that you'll be able to install a set of core applications to your phone, and then have separate SD cards for different purposes, and Android takes it all in its stride allowing you to chop and change as required.

Regards.

Dave
[Desire General] Nit3m4re:
Whats going to happen when app developers have the option to install the app to SD card instead with 2.2 and develop with that in mind but everyone except Nexus One owners won't be able to do it? (Ignore Rooting & A2SD)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
They make the app 2.2 only on the market - you just won't see it on phones with earlier versions of the OS.

The Nexus One will get 2.2 first, that's a given, but I do expect updates to more recent phones to come quite quickly this time around.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] MrTMO:
So does the market show the highest compatible version with your version of the os? or does it just remove the app from the market completely?
[Desire General] harnyuk:
was thinking of rooting my desire but undecided now, anyone have a clue when us Desire users will get froyo? (preferably uncooked)
[Desire General] Phil750123:
I think the main point is, no one nows when the desire will get froyo officially, everyone can make guesses, but it could be june, it could be december.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
As far as I'm aware, if you want to support multiple versions of Android with your app, you need to publish them individually with different names.

Of course, this only really matters if your app uses deprecated APIs, or features only available in newer versions of the OS.

Regards,

Dave
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zahne:
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm having trouble with my install of Myn's. The dialer keeps crashing and few other things are buggy but mainly the dialer is my concern. I've tried a few different things. Remove the battery, reset, charge then reset, charge remove the battery, turn it off, uninstall apps and I was hoping to try and see if a hard reset would do the trick. There's an option to have the phone be reset to factory settings but it doesn't work. I tried the traditional hard reset and that too did not work. Does this ROM not allow hard resets?

[HD2 General] TOMLEOUF:
Hi everyone!

First of all, i have searched for this issue and I found nothing.

When I send a sms to a contact, sometimes It appears on my phone to be sent but the contact never receives it on his phone! I've noticed that it happens when it's a quite long message (~200characters). when the message is short ( ex: Hey What's up?) I never get that problem!

Does anyone have ever seen that problem? I use Artemis Rom and I get that problem with only a few contacts.. Maybe It's because of the operator? (I'm in france, and I have "Orange" and my girlfriend too and she doesn't receive my sms... I was at her side when I tried Lol..)

Thanks for your time and your help and excuse my english, I'm french!

Good afternone
[HD2 General] TOMLEOUF:
Up Please!

It's annoying...

I've flashed a few times and the problem still comes! I've tried to use another phone (like a crappy old motorola) and I don't get any trouble.. So I think it's from the HD2!

Any solution?

Thanks

Have cook many semi-lite rom's (23529 to 23569) and tried sometimes to cook Sim Manager there too, but every time it fails to work. It start yes, but frezes in first screen. Phone is freezing too and only hw buttons work. This way i can go to task manager, but can not kill Sim Manager there, but have to reboot phone.

Soo, what packages do i need with Sim Manager?

Tried SIM_Mgr_6_74_0_0 & SIM_Mgr_6_76_0_1 with and without SimContactImport & InvokeSIMMgr.

Searched already from here and there and don't know anymore how and where to search...

For Cyanogenmod 5 test builds

Kernel version 2.6.29.6 ToastCFH

Following up this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685613

Very experimental and untested at the moment. This kernel was new for GSM Hero, and I just tweaked the config a little bit because the GSM Hero kernel has had a history of being able to run on 32A Magics with new radio.

Radio 6.35 series is needed to boot this (in theory)

It would be same as this config without perflock: http://pastebin.com/cKkBNtKJ

Compiled wlan.ko using CM5 kernel and ROM sources

Packed via Koush Anykernel in case you want to experiment.

Threw in OC+UV for good measure. SetCPU would work if this thing even boots.

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-cyanogenmod" so that CM5 can even possibly boot?

Edit: It's up now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
What are the OC freq? Btw gj ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
OC freq are not important at the moment. I would like to know if this even boots.

Basically no overclock unless explicitly enabled. That's the last thing I'm worried about right now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
will let you know in 5-10 minutes ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
no response on boot when flashed over test 6 on new radio ;(

no logcat either came through...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
Can someone look at the .config and see if there might be anything wrong with it?

http://pastebin.com/cKkBNtKJ

For comparison:

Cursorsense config

http://github.com/cursordroid/HTC-CCR-Kernel/blob/master/kernel-2.6.27/CCR32A-0.2a-config

Unmodded GSM Hero .29 config:

http://github.com/toastcfh/CdMa-HeRoC-2.6.29/blob/master/.config
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
maybe ask bcrook or pershoot to see if they have any input
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
I'll try this myself when I get a chance.

Doesn't look like there's anything missing...

Should at least get a logcat.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
you forgot the eabi1 option for 32a
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Yeah, I think you're right, but that might not be the case for these kernels, depending on how they're originally designed to boot. It might have the EBI1=y config "implied" in the source already.

Worth a shot, but add these lines

CONFIG_MSM_AMSS_VERSION=6355

CONFIG_MSM_AMSS_VERSION_6355=y

CONFIG_MSM_AMSS_SUPPORT_256MB_EBI1=y

in the kernel config.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Is mkbootimg offset the same for new radio as it was for the old one? Might give this kernel a shot later...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
The EBI1 option was added by a community dev. I'm sure this isn't a config option right now.

The kernel boots on the GSM Hero already, so shouldn't it boot the same for 32A Magic? GSM Hero implies 256MB support.

Something else missing?

mkbootimg is same for these kernels. If we use Koush AnyKernel there's no need to even go there.

Cursordroid can you give us the gist of your experience with mixing GSM Hero ROMs on 32A new radio?

Hi Team,

I was using Asus P750 With Windows MObile 6.1 and i had created a backup on the case i have the backup files with EXTENTION as (.bac) how ever i am not able to find any option to restore the same in windows mobile 6.5 as there was one in 6.1 as backup and restore utility

Please Help
[HD Mini General] htcpure:
Your best bet will be to use Microsoft MyPhone to backup your PIM data and Media and restore it that way. This will not backup any settings or customizations or apps and programs but it will save you some time at least. I have not been able to find any other solutions to restoring over a different platform because there are differences in the OS that would cause stability issues.
[Android Apps and Games] EddieVersatile:
So, i had an interview this morning for a job, and have an opportunity to earna great deal of brownie points with the business owners!

They were thinking of purchasing some sort of electronic signature capture device (like fedex or UPS has when you sign for a package) for invoices.. BUT.. I also mentioned my Droid Eris and how it can do so much... Turns out, both of the Owners have DROIDs lol..

Anyways.. I want to know if anyone has seen some sort of application that can capture signatures, and either save an image to be emailed, or email directly from the app..

OR does anyone know a DEV that could create something as simple as this, that I can talk to and relay updates on the APP to the owners of this company..

They seemed really interested in it, and I'm pretty positive it will show a good bit of initiative in saving their company money from the get-go (on my part)

It would be AWESOME to maybe have a custom app built, specifically for their company, but anything at this point (instant gratification method) would help!

Thank you guys in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] mrono:
Sounds like a good idea but it seems like it would be difficult to sign on a capacitative touch screen.
[Android Apps and Games] EddieVersatile:
Yeah i understand that part, but I think "finger signing" wouldn't be too bad.. Would there be a way to use some sort of "stylus" maybe with a specialized tip that would actually work on the capacitive touch screen?

I'm mainly just wondering.. I think it would be cool to be able to save thousands of dollars on expensive equipment by using what they already have, and just didn't know they could use it.
[Android Apps and Games] Cirkustanz:
Signing would be doable if a person could write one letter at a time. I only really know this because of the google expressions application.

[General Questions and Answers] MxMave:
Hi,

I am attempting to setup a standalone Windows Emulator to operate on a virtual network so that when sales personell are travelling they can demonstrate the application without the need for the hardware or a network connection.

- I currently have the standalone emulator and saved stage image loading perfectly fine for network usage.

- I have toyed with loopback - Alas this simply loops back to the emulator instead of the machine

- The host machine runs a firebird server, hence the need to connect.

Any little amounts of information would be a great help,

Many Thanks.

I forgot i asked this question, FYI for anyone ever googling this question in the future... I used Sun Virtualbox to create a local virtual network to which i connected the emulator - making the emulator totally network independent.

How the hell are file sizes different but the return the same check sum? WTF?

I wasn't aware they were different sizes. Maybe I don't understand how MD5 works as well as I should.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Download the new RUU, do NOT run it as an RUU, but instead, extract the rom.zip and flash it. You'll keep root that way.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] t.o.m.:
I have ran Fresh v0.2 and currently v0.3. I've never had any issues using Wireless Tether included with this ROM.

Those having issues: You are rooted corrected? If you are try the typical uninstalling/reinstalling. Titanium backup would allow you to backup the App and reinstall it. If that doesn't work try a different Rom.

Process of elimination.
