There are some things some people have been really looking forward too, so they might be happy. But this is why people like me and others have been saying for a long time that the whole 'HTC-hate-thing-when-is-the-updating-coming' is very stupid, because in the end... it's just an Hero ROM!

Still, to be complete, some (new) things people might've been waiting for:

They got access to apps that were missing from the Market on <= 1.5

Bluetooth file transfer (and maybe other missing profiles?)

Google Navigation / Buzz / or other new Google additions 'only for 2.x'

Faster camera app

Newer (optimzed / faster) official Sense build.

People expecting Gallery3d, livewallpapers, Friendstream, etc... they just don't realize they have an Hero... a device that was already outdated when it came out, let alone a year later.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MercuryStar:
I was running stock sense 1.5 on it previously. Just rooted, no modifications.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] slovoflud:
It's no 2.2, but still I feel that's a considerable Update.

Yes there are small updates here and there which make the experience better. Things like App Update notifications, nice fullscreen weather animations, more widgets, like Power controls, better camera, more setting options etc.

One of the most considerable advantages over 1.5 is app support. Apps which were coded for 2.1 are now visible and available. What's more Hero was the biggest factor in developers developing for min. version 1.5, as there are lots of Heros around. Now it's 2.1 all the way.

Other things of the top of my head: better Exchange, better faster browser, better Contacts manager, Voice integration and most certainly alt of under the hood improvements.

P.S. Use brut maps for navigation, as someone already said.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] graculusthegreenbird:
Biggest thing for me is probably Bluetooth, actually being able to send files, photos, music to another phone is something I have been missing a great deal.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zacspeed:
I'll second THAT! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MercuryStar:
Thanks to both of you for the tip about Brut Maps. It works :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MercuryStar:
I've just flashed VanillaEclair and am enjoying it.

Looks like HTC's Sense stuff doesn't really evolve all that much across Android versions, whereas they've updated a bit more of the non-Sense stuff (much of which people with phones other than the Hero already had).

At the moment I'm feeling a little that I don't want to be held back by HTC Sense, hence giving a Vanilla ROM a spin.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aoakes:
I want the same, to be able to use Cookies HT, custom backgrounds for all the screens but have transparent bars, since its a very clean look. as of now i'm still using HDWalls, I dis-enabled the regular wallpaper mode and enabled HDWalls by going to home screen menu> Cookies HT Editor> scrolling down to Wallpaper mode. Then just install HD cab with Transparent bars.

I feel like its lose not having the regular wallpaper, not those black task bars are ugly and it takes away 104 pixels from the screen.... even with the hq patch, it seems like its zoomed since its actually 696x480 display size after the space used from the black task bars. so i want the best of both worlds. regular wallpaper mode and transparency top and bottom ;)

[Nexus One General] needmoregigs:
Uh dude...they said to give them 24 hours. You gave them three after each call. At least you didn't get a defective phone after a long wait like I did. I'm down 1124 for the nexus one until htc processes the return of my defective one.

I know you are anxious to get your hands on the phone, but you must understand that nothing in this world runs smoothly 100% of the time.

Anyways, just wanted to give you some perspective on your situation. Good luck. Hope you enjoy the phone whenever you get it.

[Nexus One General] uansari1:
You should call your bank to let them know that you're buying the phone and how much the total charge will be so they don't hold it up. Also, don't freak out so much. This happened to a lot of us, myself included, when the phone was released.
[Nexus One General] chordmasta:
They said I wold receive a shipping confirmation after 3 hours on two occasions. That's why I called back. Only on the last call did I get actual, factual, accurate info.

I can't believe you guys are just like "whatever". I get that in the scheme of things, it's just a phone, but it's a $529 investment. I'm paying for a premium product - I expect premium service at every level.

The thing that really bothers me is that I wasn't notified in advance, ie. "We are undergoing system maintenance and orders are subject to delays". I was told next-day. I expect next-day. I work in social media. My phone is one of my greatest tools. My first Nexus has "Bad RAM", that's why I'm having the replacement unit sent out. I think I have a bit of a right to be upset at this point.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
If you're having a replacement sent out, why did you have to order a new one?
[Nexus One General] chordmasta:
I chose the "We'll hold $529 from your account, send a new unit, you send the old, we diagnose and charge whatever, subtract that from the $529, and release the rest" method because I was told I'd get it a phone the quickest this way (within 24 hours). It's now been 52 hours and I just received the shipping label for my unit that needs repair. I was supposed to receive that within 24 hours as well.

Do you understand why this is all very frustrating? Communication has been 100% initiated by me, I have not been kept up to date, and only one rep has been transparent with me. Meanwhile, I'm Nexus-less.
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Would it be possible to place an Edit button into the Notification Window, For example, next to the Clear Button which clears all your notifications? What it would do is let you edit the Notification bar how you want (Change Notification colors and things like that). I know you can already do that in the Spare Parts App In Superbad CyanogenMod but I was just curious if that was a more convenient alternative.
[G1 Android Development] tehseano:
If you ask me, thats already extremely convenient. You're lucky you have the option to do it from the phone.
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
I prefer it the way it is=p it would be annoying having to see that every time I get a text...

On the other hand, adding some sort of editable region on top of the notification bar could be a neat idea. Like for example, I would put a toggle for brightness so that I could have easy acess to it without needing to go to home and use a widget. The behold 2 and galaxy s have this little power control thingy in the notification bar to toggle brightness, wifi, gps, etc and it would be cool to port that over.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
that would be sweet!
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
The only picture I could find of the behold 2 was in the pdf manual:mad: It's small and on page 10 if anyone cares. http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm30312.pdf
[G1 Android Development] Bigt2003:
I think a shortcut to spare parts from settings would do the trick.

How about putting the power control widget on the notification bar next to the operator name? That would be cool and convient.
[G1 Android Development] sturmeh:
What I wouldn't mind seeing is a button on each notification for selective clearing of notifications...

Specifically on the G1 when I'm installing many apps from the market then I have unread emails and sms, I want to clear up all the installed notifications without wiping all the notifications. :\
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I'm in complete agreement. If there was some way to have selective clearance of the notification area without actually launching said notification, that would be fantastic.
[G1 Android Development] Ozonethegreat:
I am in agreement with both of these! I'm starting to learn Android from the ground up and if nobody beats me to it, I'm gonna work on this.

Now, even if I put in that code, somehow after, it reverts back to some htcmms.com...blahblahblah...

How do i stop this? it never did this before.

In addition, by unchecking the box, webpages like CNN.com and NYT.com will load up desktop versions instead of mobile ones.

[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
were did you test it?in EU or in US?Did you get 3G signal?
[S740, S743 General] bugmetnotter:
correct me if i didnt get the point but with a 740 you also can use 3G, it works for my phone within the EU
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
s740 supports 3G only in EU,it doesn't support 3G in US.

s743 supports 3G only in US,if you try s743 in EU you will get only GPRS signal.(I know because I own a S743 in Greece)

The point is if you can flash a s743 rom into a s740 and make 3G work in US,and the opposite with a s743 and s740 ROm in EU.
[S740, S743 General] bugmetnotter:
oh okay.

world's difficult sometimes :rolleyes:

? I got a good deal on a new unlocked s740 but I live in the US and am on T-Mobile and I know the 740 works but not the 3g.
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
MAIL FROM HTC SUPPORT

Dear ******,

Thank you for your request regarding getting your S743 to work on 3G signal that is available in Europe. 3G signal compatibility is not controlled by software, it is a hardware requirement. Because your phone was built for US 3G signal, there is no way to get that phone working on a 3G signal without altering the hardware, which is something that could also void your warranty, as would altering the software. I am sorry that there is not a resolution for you that HTC can provide. I do wish you luck! Have a wonderful week!

Sincerely,

Sarah

HTC

Bummer. Well I only paid 200US for it so still a good phone, guess I will just have to put up with EDGE.

That's what I did for about a year...but it is a shame to use edge and gprs when you can use 3G and 3.5G...anyway...good luck.

How does NaviPanel work with iGO8 in Windows Mobile Phones?

I tried many times to find the right suitable way to make the navigation program iGO8 work through the NaviPanel Application in my hTC hd2 and finally I found the solution to this problem.

You should do the following steps one by one to get the best results:

1-Create a file directory under the name CoPilot in your phone memory Program files

2-Install the cab file”MSN-NaviPanel” into your phone in your memory card (this application contains the necessary files to define the Copilot navi extension in the NaviPanel. Thanks to xda-developers forum.

3-After installing the “MSN-NaviPanel”cab file you will find two files which are “config.ini” and “Copilot” and “NaviPanel” inside the CoPilot folder that you created in the Program Files.

4-Now you have to open the iGO8 folder in the Program Files and copy the following files:

sys

gpstmc.dll

iGO8.exe

5-Paste them into CoPilot folder you created.

6-Change the name of the “iGO8.exe” file into “CoPilot.exe”.

7-Make another copy of the iGO8.exe file in the same CoPilot folder and name it “splashscreen.exe”.

8-Now you have 7 files in your “CoPilot” folder.

9-Make the following changes to “config.ini” and “sys” files

Sys file >>>>

[folders]

app="Storage card\igo_folder_as_you_named_it"

config.ini file >>>>>

Path=\Program Files\iGO8\iGO8.exe

KeepAlive=on

10-Don’t run NaviPanel when you are connecting the phone to the internet while doing this operation…. Wait till you finish everything.

11-Now do the soft reset to your device.

12-Run NaviPanel and enjoy iGO8 at the same time.

Note: if you receive a message which says that you should restart installing iGO8 because of the SDcard is not original don’t be afraid, do it and restart the program.

Best Regards;)

a)Create a Copilot folder

b)Copy allsdk to windows folder and

c)Making the proper key to the registry

Thanks,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mustafasamina:
yes, but I think other explanations are not enough to do the operation and there are many visitors who dont have enough knowledge about programing. It is a matter of development but not invention. My all thanks to whom participated in providing all informations about such issues.

Did u get this when u installed the above mentioned cabs or what?

If so i suggest modifying your sys.txt clearly specifying the correct path.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] karapialis:
Moreover can a cook\chef\wizkid from xda devs replace the htc navi crap with sth that works.I would prefer music player integration,cameraand ability to choose over GPS apps. I think it would have come up to be very handy for all of us and a lot of people would donate for this.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
It has been referenced that there are alternative home launchers (ADW) that enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screens. The question was posed as to whether or not the same could be done with our stock Rosie, and via a few strategic edits, it can.

Attached is a MetaMorph that you can use to apply to your existing Rosie.apk, that will remove the text from the icons on the homescreen, while retaining any previous edits done to your Rosie launcher. It does not currently recoup the space that the text previously occupied, however, it does allow for a "cleaner" look.

XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application

THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application

Note: When modifying Rosie.apk, any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.

Reference:

EDIT: Additional mod added below, based on request, for applying the same edit to the icons in the app drawer.

In trying to figure out the mod posted, I actually accidentally did exactly what you are asking, but didn't think there would be much use for it, since there are a lot more apps in the drawer, and it may be difficult remembering what they are without the text.
