No problem, you're welcome. I always like spending the least amount of money possible and this helps save money. You can actually go to I think verizonwireless.com/rebates and make an account with your card and transfer it to your bank account. I always hate using these things because you end up below like $5 and its a pain.

Also in order to transfer it to your bank, you are UNABLE to use the card at all, the full $100 must be transferred.
[Droid Incredible General] spotmark:
That is one of the reasons why Verizon sends debit cards, because they know people will get down to a couple of bucks, and not use it anymore. It saves them a bundle. What I do, when I get mine, is log into my Verizon account, and apply the full $100 to my bill.
[Droid Incredible General] tsailor1:
I bought my DI for full price. At the time of purchase I was told I wasnt eligible for the rebate. After I saw this thread I figured I would give it a shot. I sent it in several weeks ago and yesterday received my rebate in the mail. So it does work.
[Droid Incredible General] junjlo:
same here got my $100 after paying full price
[Droid Incredible General] wpbear:
I didnt realize there was a rebate. I bought at Best Buy new 2yr for $199. On the Verizon Website I can put in for $100 so nothing to loose except a stamp. Also found a rebate for my wife's BB Curve for $100. Thanks guys!
[Droid Incredible General] gmischenko:
I paid $230 for 1-year contract, got my $100 rebate card in the mail yesterday. $130 for Incredible on 1 year contract isn't bad, right?
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
Not bad, but when you pay full price you aren't supposed to get it, you got it on a 1 year contract, but thats still pretty good deal.
[Droid Incredible General] wpbear:
Verizon denied the rebate....oh well only cost me a stamp try to get free money. I guess Best Buy doesn't count for the rebate.
[Droid Incredible General] brandonpa:
I mailed in my rebate information (despite saying on my receipt that my phone was ineligible for rebate) and they eventually emailed me saying that my phone wasn't valid for rebate. But then 2 weeks later I got this post card providing a reason for my phone not being valid telling me that I had already received an instant rebate (of course I didn't, paid 560). I emailed them and a couple of hours later they replied back saying that they upgraded my request and that my phone was now valid for a rebate. That was 2 weeks ago and I am waiting for my card. Curious to see if it really was valid.
[Droid Incredible General] bluetooth_decay:
Hey, thanks! I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Don't think I'll be selling my Omnia, though. I dropped in in the water and it was one of those early non-floating models :(
[Desire General] Pelly1982:
I haven't had my Desire that long and besides some strange Exchange issues and GPS issues I love it. The GPS issues that I am experiencing when using Maps are as follows. Initial GPS lock seems to work ok but then it struggles to track where I am going when driving around.

I recently ran a GPS update that was pushed out to my phone but that didn't seem to do anything either. Any suggestions??

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: 32.30.00.28U....

Kernel: 2.6.29-3....

Build: 1.16.841.1

Software Number: 1.16.841.1

Browser Version: Webkit 3.1

Cheers
[Desire General] pergolesi:
I have previously had an HTC Touch HD, and was using Tomtom on that, which was simply superb! However more recently I have been using an Iphone, and I can confirm that the GPS on that is appalling.

With my new HTC Desire, I am now using CoPilot 8, and the accuracy is unbelievably good compared to the Iphone, and easily on a par to the Touch HD. It's so good, I actually use it over the built in satnav in my car, because the software on my built in unit is so out of date, and Honda want something like £300 to update it. Copilot is under £30 and is absoulutely fantastic.

Can't really comment on Google Maps, as I haven't really used it, I have always found it a little basic, and the voice guidance sounds like a robot...or Android even!
[Desire General] Phil750123:
This just using normal google maps? or using google nav??

On google nav, iv used it a fair bit and it has kept up with me every single bit of the way in the car, so no gps issues for me at all.
[Desire General] Pelly1982:
Just normal google maps I have noticed this in. I haven't tried any sat nav software as yet.

Cheers
[Desire General] sh500:
Google maps on its own has been pretty poor (well it on its own was never made for turn-by turn navigation).

As per other user use the new Navigation feature on Google Maps (free), that seems to work fine (or is that what you are using already?). Although, I have Co-Pilot as my main GPS nav software.
[Desire General] mooves:
I had the same issue... we'll actually all Australian delivered Desire's had a GPS issue. HTC and Telstra have since released an update to resolve it which you can get from HTC.com.

If yours isn't a Telstra branded version then head on over to desire.modaco.com or even the Android Development forums here on XDA..root it... and install r1 or r2 of Paul's ROMs (i use r2)... everything works including GPS.
[Desire General] simon12:
When you download a route in Navigator, the phone caches this and uses very little 3g data whilst driving unless you change your route and it needs new maps.

Does anyone know how long the cached information is available for? At what point does the phone clear the cache? If I download the route, then use the handset for something else before getting in the car, do I have to d/l the route again?
[Desire General] firedup:
No problems with either GPS or Google Navigation...really good so far..:D
[Desire Android Development] inkredi:
Great for a start ;-) welcome to desire development
[Desire Android Development] miyu-hitori:
does openvpn full working on this rom?
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Not currently, but hopefully in a future release!
[Desire Android Development] miyu-hitori:
thank you for quick reply,I hope it will be release soon;)
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
No problem. I will probably have a seperate relase that includes it :) I will include it pretty soon!

Hi Pympster, does wifi tether with BT work? I'd like to use it.
[Desire Android Development] paulobrien:
So is this a hack up of my ROM?

That's not made clear at all in the first post!

P
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
It says it at the bottom paul!
[Desire Android Development] stingerpl:
So what is actually the benefit of using this ROM over MCR ?

Seems to me like all the things you have changed can be actually accomplished via kitchen in MCR.
[Desire Android Development] H00pyFr00d:
I was thinking the same thing...
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
I only started making the ROMs for myself and a friend and wanted to share them with you guys on here. I clearly give credit to Paul at the bottom!

I'm using Paul's ROM as a base because it's a really good start point. I'm working in implementing a few other things to the ROM. You can pay to have some of the things I have added/removed using Paul's online kitchen here.

I am making this ROM primarily for myself and to increase my understanding of the Android platform.
[Desire Android Development] paulobrien:
I saw the link at the bottom, and I'm not trying to be rude, I have no problem with you basing stuff on my public releases.

I couldn't work out from the topic if it was based on my ROM, so I'm probably not the only one, that's all!

[Desire Android Development] hjaltih:
Big thanks for sharing this dude. And big thanks to paul for his outstanding work. Without guys like you we would be dead in the water

My HTC Desire is telling me Installation aborted, when trying to install the zip (hybrid).
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Try downloading again, it probably means that it is corrupt!
[Desire Android Development] Mcam:
Sure, thanks a lot for the quick reply :D!, looks like a great rom, would you like me to update you with how I'm getting on with the installation and how I find it? To try help you flatten out bugs and all ;)
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
No worries. Yes that would be great, 50+ downloads and I haven't had a lot of responses on it yet, I assume that means that it works ok...hopefully!
[Desire Android Development] JDouce:

[Desire Android Development] pympster:
No not yet. 2.2 should be out soon so seems a bit pointless!
[Desire Android Development] codecex:
mmm has this rom app2sd?

thanks for your job man
[Desire Android Development] H00pyFr00d:
Aw, it's nice to see everyone getting along. The last thing we want is what happened with Cyanogen on the Droid forums. :eek:
[Desire Android Development] hjaltih:
Agree with you there. The work going on on these forums is amazing and is really providing something to the mobile handset experience.

Best thing to do is to get along and try and help eachother continue this.
[Desire Android Development] janvandusschoten:
Is it possible to flash apps2sd on top of this ROM, or am I going to brick my phone with it? I've flasht it over my "original"

rooted ROM, and it works on that one. Same thing for the circle battery on top of my screen.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
No not yet, it seems unstable look here

It might be possible, but I cannot guarantee! Have a go with the circle battery, it shouldn't brick your phone. However see the link above about A2SD
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Which build are you referring to? HTC Camera is in all of the builds, all builds are Odexed. See my post above for the link concerning A2SD
[Desire Android Development] janvandusschoten:
Tried to flash apps2sd, and got an error. Flashed the Energy Star bootscreen , and it works ok. Tried to flash the circle battery and got a bootloop. I'll test it later when I have more time.
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Hey pympster, thank you very much for this ROM, I really like it :)

I'm using Paul's app2sd ZIP-file that I flashed after your ROM (but I had to manually chmod the scripts in /system/etc/init.d to 755 to make it work).

I also replaced your launcher with Helix2 and added the stock Contacts.apk. Everything is working like a charm.

Keep up the good work! And also thanks to Paul, of course :D
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Thanks for helping me out! Circle battery won't work with odexed ROMs I think, which is probably why it won't work. Any generic feedback on the ROM? :D
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Thanks for helping out. I will add this to the first post :)

You might be interested in using the titanium version if you aren't already! The lite version will remove as many HTC apps as possible and replace them with the stock versions, so when it is release it might be even better for you!
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Good idea, this will definitely help other people :)

I am already using your Titanium version and I think it is a good compromise between not using Sense and still having all the social network goodies (facebook and twitter integration will be gone in the lite version, right?).

What are your plans for a future version (v0.2)?
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
I am hoping to include the overclocking mod in one of the releases :) But it still doesn't appear to be stable. I'm also waiting for people to report back any bugs that I should fix or ideas for improvements that I can make.

I'm still working on a few boot loaders, but can't make it work at present.
[Desire Android Development] tampiss:
hi. any news about lite version?
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
I'm hoping to have it done in the next few days. Still working on it!
[Desire Android Development] tampiss:
Thank you. Im currently on titanium version and its great so far.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
I'm glad you like it :D I'm going to try and get it done tonight, but I've got a lot of other stuff I should be doing instead... :P
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
You have PM, got some questions if that's ok?
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
You have a reply :)
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Lite version should be out in about 2 hours :D Just doing some more testing!
[Desire Android Development] radiosilence:
Will Lite have the HTC Camera?

Will it have the stock contacts/messaging?
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Stock camera and Messaging will be included. I might instead remove them all and have it in a seperate downloadable zip... not sure yet!
[Desire Android Development] IceBone:
Is it possible to get the Sense launcher for the widgets, but none of the contacts/phone/messaging apps? I'd prefer the stock 2.1 for those, I've been looking for a rom like that for ages, nothing yet. :(
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Hmm I don't think that would take me too long so I could do. But, I am still looking for an APK of the stock android messaging/calendar app! If anyone can find these then what you want will be possible!
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
Here u go:
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Thanks but sorry I meant calender! I have the contacts app already :)
[Desire Android Development] deeren:
odexed or deodexed versions???? i can help u out
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Either! lol
[Desire Android Development] deeren:
here they are !
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Great thanks! Paul has updated his ROM and so I need to get to work on Hybrid and Titanium. But Hopefully that shouldn't take too long! Lite might still be done in the next couple of hours :)
[Desire Android Development] :
I will wait for your Lite version :)
[Desire Android Development] IceBone:
I believe this is the standard Eclair messaging app. At least that's what the icon that appeared during the unsuccessful install I tried earlier looked like, before doing any research.

http://files.phyrefile.com/file/2010/05/17/Mms.zip
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Thanks, but I seem to get a force close error on both of them :(

@Icebone, do you have the calendar app as well?

Thanks to both of you!
[Desire Android Development] IceBone:
pympster: I got that on the modaco forum, let me google for it.

EDIT: here's practically all of them: http://www.mediafire.com/?dwujagiujzz
[Desire Android Development] deeren:
chef,

i dont think you can just remove the htc calender apk like that. i think it is more complex than that , because of the synchronisation with the gmail n stuff.

not to forget the widget too!!!

maybe i am wrong!
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
I think you might be right! Ok well I now have a build with stock android messaging and phone/contacts :) Hopefully I will be able to put the stock calendar in at some point! I will do some final testing then upload it :) ETA 2 hours (Titanium 20mins :P)
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
Use the Corpcal.apk . Its better than the stock android calendar (exchange support) and looks same as stock

Attached ;)

Tested on des roms and fully functional
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
@Icebone, thanks for the link! I shall have a look through and see what I can do :)
[Desire Android Development] IceBone:
I would prefer to keep the HTC calendar too. It looks better and the widget is awesome.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
I'm starting to get the feeling that some people are going to want all HTC stuff removed while others actually prefer the HTC apps!

I will include all of the widgets for the HTC apps, but those that have been replaced e.g. messages, will be removed
[Desire Android Development] IceBone:
I'd love only the people/messaging replaced with standar eclair, but I realise this isn't an a la carte restaurant. :D
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Haha, well now there seems to be problems with the android messaging app :( FC error when trying to text... hmm will have to keep looking into this :mad:
[Desire Android Development] IceBone:
Take your time, every dish needs tinkering until it's perfect. ;)
[Desire Android Development] deeren:
concerning the mms apk. here is a stock and htc one , both in one i guess. try it out
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
What is the general view on the HTC music app? I think it's pretty good so I will probably leave it in. Though I could have a seperate zip with the APK, not sure....

Any opinions?
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
I dont like the htc player, this is much better:

That eclair zip had all of the HTC apps sadly :( hmm all very annoying

Really the only thing that I hate about Sense, so if you don't mind, I'll wait a bit for

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fl3xo:
I tried to flash this but i can only overclock with fixed frequency using performce cpu governor. If set governor to "userspace" i cant go over 480mhz...and have not the ramhack.I dnt want eclair, absolutely. anyone can help me!?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaueious:
Can you try to flash something for me?

Should not brick your phone as it is. To undo this, flash your rom back again or just replace the files back.

Built on 2.6.29 for CM4 and other Donut roms. Goes up to 576 MHz. RH might work.

In setCPU choose setcpu.txt

Flash from recovery
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fl3xo:
I tried it for about half an hour. its stable at standard frequencies, but become laggy after ocing. phone reboots 23 times in 1/2 hour.i notes android task killer sometimes kills instantly opened application. i used both ondemand and userspace governors via both setcpu and userinit.

can you please add ramhack? thx a lot xaueious
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaueious:
If your phone is rebooting like that something else might be up. Not sure if the rebooting is because of the thing I told you to flash. Are you doing this from a fresh Cyanogenmod 4?

Also, ramhack is not working?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fl3xo:
Sure, no RH. now i need the phone, ill retry after 2-3 hours. stay connected.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaueious:
No what I am saying is if the one I made before didn't work, then I wont be trying again. Hope someone else tries though.
[Hero CDMA General] shawnwojcik:
OK correct me if I'm wrong but after doing some searching it seems I'm not the only one with Google street view problems.

Is this a problem because I'm using a 2.1 ROM thats not yet the official sprint release?

Or is it because I applied the OpenGL update/patch to get live wallpapers working?

Right now I'm running fresh 2.0d I would like to stay with this ROM if you guys think this will be fixed whenever we see the official 2.1 release. honestly its not a big deal as I rarely use it.

ps. I did not mean the title of this thread to be disrespectful to any of the hardworking devs, just not sure what to title it.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
It's because of OpenGL
[Hero CDMA General] shawnwojcik:
Will applying the "undo" openGL patch found on the geekfor.me site fix this?

Are there any other fixes for this besides what i just mentioned?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Technically the "undo" patch puts it back how it should be to begin with.

Applying the OpenGL patch causes more issues than it fixes for most people. But if you really must have that duck hunt LWP - the option is there.
[Hero CDMA General] shawnwojcik:
lol nah, the novelty of that wore of in a few minutes. Not to mention the extra battery drain.

Now of only sprint would get the buts in gear and release that update!
