Great...

Tried Damagecontrol 2.09, did a clean wiped install, and everything seemed fine. Didn't seem much faster, but whatever.

Too bad I waited until I was at work to reboot. Now it's in a bootloop, and I'm stuck at work with no phone.

Sprint sent me a new phone. Once I confirm it's got 1.5, they can have this 2.1-infected POS back.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Look... there's a good chance your new Hero WILL have 2.1 on it. If it does, just root it and install a custom 1.5 rom.
[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
This might mean you simply didn't wipe everything before you flashed the new ROM. Always perform a full wipe before flashing new ROMs.

Take the battery out of your phone. Put it back in and reboot to Recovery (hold Home and press Power). Then select the Wipe option, and go down that list and wipe every single category (I do them each twice just to make sure).

Then go back to the main menu and flash the ROM again. That should probably solve any bootloop problems.

(I don't know if it works exactly this same way with the rooted 2.1 RUU [I'm still on rooted 1.5], so if any of the above is wrong, anybody please correct it...)
[Hero CDMA General] troublestylist:
Yeah, I was thinking about that. If so, I might as well keep MY phone and install a 1.5 ROM on it. Less work, and they can have their "new" phone back.

Wow, so working with this ROM is like dealing with my kids. I have to tell it everything twice ;) No thanks. Not worth the hassles.

2.1 doesn't do anything better that I can see. I'll deal with wired tethering considering how rarely I use it. The Navigation on 1.5 works better, or at least the voice recognition does.

Why exactly are you still using 1.5??? What custom 1.5 ROM would you guys recommend? Any that have ad hoc networking built in so I don't have to hack it myself?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Any that have ad hoc networking built in so I don't have to hack it myself?[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure all of them do.

Sure wish we could get WPA working for us....stupid kernel.
[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
You don't have to do them all twice, I was just saying that I do to make sure -- personal preference. Considering how those wipe options only take like 1 second each, there is no "hassle" of which you speak. Adds maybe an extra 4 to 5 seconds to your day at most.

I'm not still on a 1.5 ROM, I just haven't yet updated my phone to stock 2.1 using the can't-ever-go-back-again 2.1 RUU. What I meant is that I still have the 1.5 root, but I have been using 2.1 ROMs over top of that for at least a couple months now. I think all these 2.1 ROMs are much faster than 1.5 ever was. Slow speed and lag were my biggest annoyances in stock 1.5.

We probably won't be able to answer all your questions or remove all your doubts. You won't know completely until you try some of them yourself.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
If you look in the Wiki there are several 1.5 Roms out there that you can use. However, there are some apps that will only work with 2.1. Once your rooted you can flash any ROM from 1.5 or 2.1. You might also consider an AOSP rom which doesn't have Sense UI. But as I stated in another thread yesterday, most people end up adding apps to try and emulate certain characteristics of Sense UI. I don't like vanilla android, but it is supposed to be faster.

Here are all of the ROMs available. If you want a 1.5 Rom I would suggest Gumbo 1.5c, Modaco 2.2, or Fresh 1.1.
[Hero CDMA General] troublestylist:
Thanks all. I honestly can't imagine how anyone could find 2.1 faster than 1.5, but I guess maybe once I'll reload 1.5, it may remind me. The "other half" of the people are (like me) saying the CPU can't handle the extra 2.1 features.

I never found 1.5 slow for anything other than phone calls. Now, those are WORSE, and the lag time to do anything else now exists, where it didn't before.

I ran DC all day, and it was just as annoying as the stock ROM. Maybe a little better in places, worse in others.

I guess I'm running "basic" stuff compared to all you guys running heavy apps or something.
[Hero CDMA General] troublestylist:
Pancake 1.5 running now...refreshingly smoothly :o Yea, a bit of the glitz is gone, but wow, no lag.

And I have a Navigation program back that has a functional voice recognition. I hesitate to update because I'm not sure how far the revs go under 1.5. I don't want the new version back and I don't know if it's 2.1-only.

[HD2 General] djchubbs:
Has anyone ever had an issue where by their battery life is at say 59% and when i plug it in to charge rather than the blue charging icon appearing it just showing the battery being 100% and the LED doing successive double flashing as opposed to a static LED like i should be if it was charging?

I've not installed anything, flashed a new rom etc, was fine yesterday.

All i did was have a little play with CHTEditor.
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
somethings not right, it must be something to do with me messing about with CHTEditor

out of the blue my lock screen had gone, and it says i have a voice mail waiting when i dont. haha

Hard reset i think
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
update...

hard reset not worked...uhoh
[HD2 General] Wizzkid007:
Same problem here

I was in a phone call an al of a sudden everything just went black and rebooted. Turns out the phone stopped charging and flasing green and red. Battery ran out of power and the phone shut down. After the reboot the phone charged normally again

Another situation:

Phone started acting up again and endend in a reboot. Battery was empty and i made a phone call on the charger. during the phonecall the same problem happend again, but the battery was at 9%. I intended to unplug the charger and plug it back in, but after the unplug the battery jumped to 0% and shut down.

So, i think the battery is acting up. Having to charge the thing every damn day is finally taking it's toll.
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
The phone seems to charge ok when switched off, i will leave it as it is till im home from work and wil have a tamper with it.
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
phone is now charging ok, just need to get rid of this voicemail notification now.
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
hmm and everything back to normal. must be its time of the month
[HD2 General] bRkiX:
tis happens to mine (not allways) hd2 when using non htc battery.

do you have original batt?
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
yep, using the original battery, it seems to be ok now, charging as it should.

ahh well. cheers for the reply
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
one last this, how the hell to i get the lock screen back, i think im being dim.

edit

sorted
[HD2 General] Wizzkid007:
I have a program BsB Tweaks that has a setting for the lockscreen. Try that.

My phone is also charging fine when turned off, also it functions fine at the moment. i think it has something to do with overloading the device when the battery is low. Based on that its not possible to turn on any phone when the battery is in attached but the power is, i think everything is drained from the battery while charging it and that when overloading the battery just doesn't pull it anymore.

i don't have a alternative battery, mine is original.

What are the symtoms when the battery is at the end of it's life? does it do this, or is it supposed to give a warning or something?

edit: i am unable to find a manual page describing the different modes the LED could be blinking. I'm curious what is says about the red and green blinking mode. Does such a page exist?
[Windows Mobile] tomcug:
To begin with, I'll try to describe my issue ;). I'm making different ROM's for JAQ3 phone and so far I couldn't fix poor video performance. It's OMAP850-based device so I think that the best way is to replace those drivers with HTC files and this is where I need your help. I want to know which files are responsible for video rendering so I can replace them. This phone has video issues even with original WM 5 ROM and that's why I want to finally fix this. Thanks for your help :).
[Windows Mobile] tomcug:
Anybody willing to help :(?
[Windows Mobile] tomcug:
Hey, are you there :D? I just need names of some files I need to replace, please help me. Please :D.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Htc Video drivers are stored in DDI.dll ,but you cant grab them from a phone to another.

You can try to use htc_d3dm.dll , that its the Direct 3D drivers.
[Windows Mobile] tomcug:
So, ddi.dll is responsible for bad video performance, right? I've tried replacing D3DM drivers but this gave me nothing so I bet it's the first file. Am I right?

Just one example in CorePlayer, if I play video I get 276% in benchmark, but when I go to fullscreen mode, the speed is lowered to 80% :(.
[Windows Mobile] Jackos:
ahi2dati.dll, gxdma.dll, d3dm_ati.dll, libgles_cm.dll?

And you need this registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\D3DM\Drivers]
"LocalHook"="d3dm_ati.dll"

I never had a OMAP processor device, so keep in mind this might be wrong :D

EDIT: If you cook those files, use them as modules, not files. So this will work much, much faster.
[Windows Mobile] tomcug:
Thanks for help, I'll try it :). What about ddraw.dll and gx.dll? I guess those files are generic so replacing them won't change anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] przeqpiciel:
Hi everybody,

I'm have HTC Hero wich have some problems with USB. Windows has see this device as unknown device even when device is running at recovery(ra recovery 1.6.2), so I will send this hero to service when I have guarantee for he. But I have unofficial software therefore I have to install official ROM but I can't used RUU. Maybe is exists other way to install that software ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
have u tried just updating drivers?

[Guide] How to Setup Correct Hero Drivers (for x86 & x64 users)

....But no, as far as I know there is no method for installing an RUU without using a USB cable.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] przeqpiciel:
But I didnt need RUU, I only need information how to restore generic ROM for my hero
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
To restore generic ROM though, you use an RUU.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pi3ch:
I had the same USB problem before I send it back for warranty to get it fixed. in order to install official rom without using USB:

1. get official rom which suit your HTC from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559622

2. flash the rom like you flashing other custom rom to your htc.

3. If you use flashrec to root your hero you probably have backup of your recovery image, put it on your sd card run flashrec this time restore your original recovery image. (if you dont have backup of your origiinal recovery image I uploaded mine in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4972904&postcount=41)

4. that's it! you got your virgin hero back. (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4965845&postcount=39)

if you have Nadroid back up of your Hero you can restore it in order to get back to original rom. but again you need to follow step 3 to flash original recovery image.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] biersoeldner:
I have the same problem. I had restore the original android 2.1 (T-Mobile G2 Touch) from nandroid. But flashrec does not work on this version. I got an error message: "Flash FAILED: Could not run command." Had anyone a idea?

[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
do i need to backup the phone..and the SD card before updating the firmware?

what data will i lose?
[XPERIA X10 General] tnleeuw:
If you just update firmware to newer version, you wont need to backup. Esp. SD card is safe. (And you can always take it out before update! ;-) ).

It might be sensible to just make a backup of your SMSses, from within the Messaging app.

You can choose to do a clean install though, this will erase all your data and installed apps.
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
I'd recommend deleting, resetting everything when updating.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
Use something like mybackup!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pules:
I've recently got my HTC incredible and I LOVE IT!!!!

I also have a bluetooth enabled car radio....so my fav thing to do while driving is stream internet music.

I have an xm radio subscription and don't want to pay the extra monthly fee to use the SiriusXM radio android app

I've had some luck with using ORB.com and streaming on my phone, but sometimes at the login to mycast.orb.com the web browsers (sky fire, dolphinHD and default web browser) get stuck in a http/https endless loop and it locks up my machine running orb.

anyone have a good app or ideas on how I can fix the endless loop?

btw, I did download the SiriusXM radio and it works fine, but one it's streaming using the lower bitstream and two it cost extra

thanks community....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Yoshiofthewire:
As far as I know, if you use any of the smart phone apps then you only have to pay for the SiriusXM web streaming. ($2.99 on top of any Satalight Package) As I already had XM streaming no where did it ask for more money.

If you are using an XM or Sirius App on a feature phone, then you have to pay a fee to your cellphone company.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pules:
thanks for the replay....

right....i'm trying to avoid the extra fee. On my WinMo phone i had found a good app, but I think ultimately it comes down to android not supporting the WMA stream format which listen.xmradio.com is streaming in. In fact, as of couple months ago, the stream stopped on my Win7 comp :(

Hopefully someone in the community will come up with a solution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shughes:
XM ON Droid Incredible

Orb, and siriusxmstreamer. This is how I stream Howard Stern to my droid(s).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pules:
do you by pass or how did you fix the http/https login loop?

When I can get into orb, it works fine, but most of the time I get stuck in the login loop.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Yoshiofthewire:
I used siriusxmstreamer to orb on my backflip without issue.

But I thought that is you have access to SiriusXM the website then you get Smart Phone streaming for free.

AKA If you pay for web streaming you can access it on iPhone, Blackberry and Andorid for free.

You only pay extra if you have a dumb phone with the XM app on the phone from the carrior. The you are paying the carrior, not XM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pules:
so I found a solution that I think is better than Orb

XM Tuner + TVersity

XMturner has a tab under configuration to TVersity, so they work really well with each other.

I'm having tversity transcode the stream and broadcast it as MP3 and using Xiialive lite to play it on my incredible.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] King Canute:
But will it disable touchwiz, or will that run in background and eat power from the battery, if so, it's no point running an extra UI on top of touchwiz.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
for now, just remove all widgets from TW, and reduce all the screens available. Then run ADW or LP...the battery drain from TW is actually pretty negligible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AG_Uni:

I have installed LauncherPro. Works really great. I made it default application for home button and killed the default launcher service in the taskmanager. After rebooting all lag in opening applications was gone and the default launcher didn't started :) Now only LauncherPro working...

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Toss3:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dagrim1:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Et3rnal:
I'm using LP and after i read this topic i went to

Setteing > Applications > Manager applications

then change the filter to all and scroll down to TwLancher

then u can Force close it BUT! i think this will effect other parts coz as we all know we use TW in the contacts list, call log and the dailer.

So after u close it u cant use this features like swipe to call or swipe to msg and i cant live without them :D, well thats wt happened with me, i swipe but it do nothing! and after i relaunch it it didnt work also so i restart my phone and its ky now :D

so if u use them "there r diffident dailers if u like to use" dont swich off ur TW launcher.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] johnnie93:
Its Launcher PRO!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bills Gate:

what are the reasons for disabling touchwiz?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] johnnie93:
Its faster and better except if you use the Samsung widgets.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bills Gate:
what are the samsung widgets if u dont mind me asking

(i got my phone 2nd hand)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] johnnie93:
If you have touchwiz opened just long press on the home screen and pick Samsung widgets
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mlj11:
I'm not sure this is true.

I have both LauncherPro Plus and ADW, and both of them lag behind TW in launching apps. But then again, I do tend to use more widgets when using the other two... :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ebue:
I must concur. The Stock Launcher is faster of the two. Or in my case, faster than LP plus. Maybe snappier is a better word.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rules45:
That's definitely launcher pro.

I wish there was a way to get rid of TW, and just use the native android UI
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Thibale:
Just download the AOSP launcher:

I have now just LauncherPro - TouchWizz launcher is gone !!!

I installed LP but I had TW runnig, but now TW launcher is gone :)

What I did is :

1) Root phone with 7Z app from Market

2) install Root Manager

3) in Root Manager go to System apps - App remover and then you need to find TW Launcher there are 2 files and delete both

4)Reboot phone in Root manager menu
