I has asked HTC Tech Support and they told me that Navipanel would work ONLY with CoPilot. So this is it unless someone comes with a work-around solution
[HD2 General] kennydadsl:
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!

Finally got cooperation out of NaviPanel!

For those still searching -> try the link at //xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5789366&postcount=9

I edited the new Config.ini file sitting in the new CoPilot folder to include "Storage Card/" in the pathway before "Program Files/Navigator/TomTom Navigator.exe" and it is now happily functional! (This cured the "-2147479552" error...)

You can have TomTom installed on an SD card and this CoPilot work-around will get NaviPanel to cooperate!

Finally got there! Phew!

i will wait one week or something to see if all works well before root =) thanks a lot :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Most, if not all of your questions could be answered by some searching. Thus I'll be really short. If you google "must have applications nexus one", you'll get everything you need.

1. Dialer One.

2. Fring.

3. No. Buy GPS navigation software.

4. SMS Backup for messages, and for contacts - did you understand the concept of Android, keeping the contacts in the cloud?

5. SMS Popup for SMS tones.

Quite why people are so obtuse when it comes to installing a ROM is beyond me. Sam is right, go to the ROM development forum and read the flashing thread it literally WALKS you step by step through the entire process and covers all eventualities. Why people expect XDA to help them when they can't be bothered to read even as far as the stickys is beyond me.

This screen comes up on my mobile way too often..

At first I would just do as it says, but now it is coming up like once a day and everytime you re-sync you have to go through the boring process of setting up your emails and text accounts so that they are just the way you want them... then on ocassions, it will wipe your notes and contacts from Outlook.. this is bugging me now as it happens when the phone and computer are not really doing anything else, so it's not like I am taxing either of them..

Happens in both Windows 7 and Vista.

When I get a new e-mail notification (hotmail set up through windows live),if I click on the notification, it takes me straight to the outlook inbox. Is there anyway to prevent this?

In my e-mail settings the check box that "displays account picker" is checked but that doesn't seem to help.

I'm looking to have the e-mail message or the corresponding inbox open, rather than having to select the notification, only to be taken to an empty inbox (I don't use the outlook inbox and in situations where it was set up, it would default to that inbox anyway)

Any help?

I am comfortable with my iPhone and have nothing against AT&T. I am thinking of moving to the EVO for its large screen and less expensive family plans.

However, I am afraid I may miss features I am used to having on my iPhone.

Can anyone answer these two questions I haven't found answers to yet?

1. Do you from you list of contacts pick a list called favorites to more easily dial from than going through all contacts?

2. While typing (or replying to) email, can you select a block of text and then cut and paste it?

If anyone who knows both phones knows of other things I may miss from the iPhone let me know please. I went to the Sprint store yesterday but the sales person really wasn't helpful - he tried but did not know a lot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecodemonk:
HTC Sense has a favorite's widget you can use and there is a list of favorites when you bring up your contact list as well. I don't personally use it but some might find it handy. :)

Selecting text is definitely different than the iphone...it's not somthing I've found myself doing often so I can't answer that personally but I know the option is there to enter a "Select Text" mode when you long press on some text.

I came from the iPhone and left it when the 3Gs came out and the thing you'll probably need adjusting to is the game selection...android market is improving on that but it's not been around as much so it's lagging a little behind in that aspect.

Lastly, the one thing I missed absolutely most when I made the switch was the keyboard...I've yet to find a keyboard that does prediction as good at the iPhone's keyboard for the tap-to-type method.

However, if you're willing to try a different method, Swype has some distinct advantages for typing on a screen (look once for the first letter in a word and look away while dragging your thumb around the screen in the rough shape of where you think the keys would be and it works great for me).

Ultimately, I would conclude that the phones are just different...it's like going from Mac (in it's current incarnation) to Linux. There's some things they do share in common but a lot of what they do, they just do it differently and both pretty well. :)

I assume you force installed the widgets to your SD card? Widgets are among the types of Services that is not allowed to install on the SD card according to the Froyo SDK: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html#ShouldNot.

When widgets are installed to the SD card they break when you mount your SD card to your computer via USB so it's not supported.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nomad4ever:
I have a HTC Legend with Android 2.1 and Sense with around 450 Contacts, about 150 of them with photos, all stored and synced with my Gmail Contacts.

My Contact Database is the biggest single application in Android, with 13.7 MB shown, 0.00 for the application and all for data (in Settings/Application/Manage - 'Contacts Storage version 7').

Besides the point, that even with more pictures it should be much less (most of it is text anyway and the Google Pics are small low-res squares) - it seems, that there is a bug or leak somewhere.

When I add a contact with pic, syncing it to Google, it will increase the Contact Database. But after deleting the same contact and syncing again - it's not back to the original size. It's 0.1 MB more than before adding the contact.

That looks, like some garbage or overhead is stored still in the device, regardless of the number of contacts or if some are removed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, what I could do, to erase that overhead and get my contact database size back to a reasonable size?

Thanks a million!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skanndelus:
i have the same problem on the stock cdma hero 2.1 (.5) room, rooted.

mine is like, 30mb

think its the 900 or so facebook friends

O.o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skanndelus:
here was my fix (or workaround, rather, since you can't sync all your stuff or use fb photos for your contacts DAMNIT)

under accounts and sync, disable google and facebook contacts sync

under contacts, export the ones you would like to keep to the sdcard

under settings, click applications, manage applications, then contacts storage

clear data

open contacts, import the rest from your sd card

if you want to keep all your fb numbers, use the fb live folder from the fb app
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nomad4ever:
Hm, your problem sounds similar, but it's also different.

I didn't add any FB contacts. If I click on 'view' in the People app, I only have 446 Google contacts and nothing else.

But how big is your contact storage now, after you eliminated the FB contacts? And how many contacts you have in the phone and how many with pics?

Maybe we can get a bit closer to the root of the issue. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skanndelus:
i don't think i ever synced my gmail contacts, or meant to, but if i did, there's like 1000

and 900 fb contacts all with photos

now that i only have 23 contacts, all not connected to fb so no photos, im at like 225kb of storage.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nomad4ever:
Oh yeah, I have the FB Phonebook Folder, but in there are only 35 of my FB contacts, probably only those who publish their phone numbers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skanndelus:
i'm going to just sync my fb contacts now and see where it puts me

i have a feeling every time you delete a contact the data still stays there even if you can't see it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nomad4ever:
Definitely it is like that. I tested it....about 0.1 MB remains in my device, that doesn't sound like much, but can add up pretty fast. :(

we can't be the only two having this issue? i wonder why no one else has chimed in... i even mentioned it in the hdma hero threads...

Hey Xda-developers. Just quickly, I found this Forum from a few links on other websites (gizmodo, engadget) and some youtube videos of your awesome custom ROMs.

I for my HTC Hero in March, and I should be upgrading around christmas 2011. That's a while, and Android grows fast..much much faster than HTC update my device, so I'm thinking a custom ROM is what I really want.

I've done my research, but honestly I'm pretty much a noob here. I know I need to root the phone, but I've been unable to find any specific instructions for 3 UK, and as far as I can tell all the different carriers use different instructions (a different ROM to downgrade to?), so I don't want to use the wrong ones.

-

Phone Spec

Okay, this is a standard HTC Hero on a 24 month contract carried by 3 UK.

There has been no rooting, no major changes. I have done no more than officially supported. A complete from scratch root would be required.

Currently running 1.5.

UK, 3 Mobile, GSM.

No hardware replacements and no known issues with the phone.

I think that's about all, is somebody here able to point me to the right place for a 3 mobile root?

Thanks in Advance,

The only problem i had was syncing after installing the latest version. I fixed it by downloading a driver manager and updated the drivers for it.

I take it it lets you mount the SD card on your computer?

One thing that might be worth a try is to download the ROM again, it might be corrupt, a shot in the dark but worth a go.

If your all set up properley you should be able to connect your phone via usb to the PC,

then open a command window and type>"adb shell devices"

your phone should show in the window something like HTLK12345

this should boot your phone into recovery mode.

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone's got any clue on how to enable Live Wallpaper support in 2.1 ROMs that don't have it be default? ROMs like CronosDroid or latest VillainROM 10?

I don't use SenseUI so it's not a biggie that these two are not compatibile with each other. I also did have it working on VR6.2.1 but since there's plenty ROMs based on official Hero release coming out now I think it's time to move to something more recent - at least until release of anything based on Froyo.

So, all in all is there an apk application to enable it or some simple sh scripts or adb commands? Anyone? ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacaronyMax:
I think many (or all) of the official 2.1 rooted roms for the hero dont include live wallpapers because the hero 2.1 rom does not have them where as if you flashed a desire rom you would have them but i dont know anyway of enabling them maybe check if livewallpapers.apk is installed then try and enable them using another software that supporrts them eg. launcher pro :D
