Changed my mind. To much drama here. I don't want to help :o(
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Who said that he's abandoned the G1/MyTouch projects? He just released 5.0.7 and currently working on 5.0.8. Sure it's not as frequent but you can't expect Cyanogen to be the last one to upgrade his phone just to keep you guys happy.

In regards to the Community Rom idea... I think it's a great idea to really show off open source. There are just a couple problems though.

You would have to come to a unanimous decision over what it's going to have.

Do you really want bluetooth? If yes, then you can not have Sense UI/Rosie/Hero (or whatever you want to call it)

Do you want 2.0-2.2? Then you will have to require the Danger SPL which means possible bricks.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

Also, the same idea popped up for a Hero theme called The Community Hero Mix.

Guess who's the only one keeping it going. (hint... me)

How will this be different?
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
..... I am talking about KingKlick not Cyanogen.....
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
My bad. Misinterpretation on my part.
[G1 Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
It's aight dude haha :D
[G1 Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, glad to see things returning to normal and on topic in this thread. I've already banned 2 people. Let's keep it with only 2 ;)

[G1 Android Development] kiden:
I'm really starting to think that such a thing as a community rom cant happen. More like collaborations with a set of people, but nothing "community"
[G1 Android Development] enatefox:
I'm going to try to get some proper hosting that would let us offer a kitchen. Then I'll work out SVN/GIT setup.

My thinking is because of the "jazz hands" over who decides what this will have, it's just going to be decided for you and you can pick out what you want from a list like Sense or vanilla. Democracies rarely work and republics prevail because it's just not feasible to get a majority vote over every little detail. The result is going to show you all the specific details of what was done to create your ROM so you can learn from that. I think this is the best way.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Why dont u guys create a sign up list ?

And create deadlines to get this project moving ? otherwise itll rot here just like the other *community projects*.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
lol well the word community is wrong as when people have community meetings I can bet you there will be at least one person not turn up now then that is not a community meeting then is it not? 0o just most the people? 0o
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
If you need help with file hosting, my website has unlimited download and upload along with a fast connection and no wait times. Once you get it up and running I would be honored to host it for you. We can do direct links to the file if you want also. So they dont have to leave the thread.
[G1 Android Development] toeshot:
It can't happen. There was a reference to the book 'The Cathedral and The Bazaar" which for those of you who don't know, is a book basically describing the differences in open source programming to close source programing. Theoretically the idea of a bazaar type programming allowing for everyone to have input no matter there skill set to make a better product is great. However if we look at Linux we can clearly see that this has fallen apart. We have so many distributions of Linux now that are based on original Linux systems like RedHat, Gentoo, Debian, Slackware. Even the popular Linux distro's like Ubuntu and Sabayon are based off of Debian and Gentoo respectively. If the Linux project was a truly bazaar approach we would still only have a handful of actual Linux Systems but they would be outstanding. Just like this community, not all dev's, those companies that develop other Linux Distro's do it because they have have a belief that they can do it better than the next person(s)/company this is why the bazaar approach won't work, along with our inherent competivness.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
cheers dude thanks for the help ^^ i'll keep you in mind ^^ very much thanks ^^
[G1 Android Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
it's called cyanogenmod. /end
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
I disagree and agree at the same time yes we cannot fully inherit that approach however we can still come close to that idea it may only be half but

it still means it is part bazaar lol
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
um im sry but if you say cyanogenmod you have not grasped the concept of this here thread lol no offence of course xD
[G1 Android Development] toeshot:
that's ok the whole world is Bizarre :)
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
xD very true my good man ^^
[G1 Android Development] kingkurry:
Im sorry, I'm a bit of a noob, but how will this be different from cyanogen? I understand that many people will be working on this, but will it be based off Cyanogen? Most of the good ROMs out there seem to be based off cyanogen.

Also, if i recall correctly, you even said you werent much of a coder so wont you need something coded well to start off from?

On another note, summer vacation is coming up for me, and ill have quite of bit of spare time on my hands. Is there any way I can help with this effort? I dont know any C or C++, but I am learning some Java. I'd like to say im good with computers and a fast learner too.

So any way I can contribute?

Thanks :D
[G1 Android Development] flip3547:
I think this is an awesome idea, I try so many different roms on a regular basis, and I seem to want a little bit of all of them in one. I wish I could get involved in the creation, I only just got adb to work, but I look forward to trying anything all you brilliant rom makers put out. Thanks for everyones hard work!
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
0o when did I say that lol I can code in java and can make actual android apps lmfao I can add my own features and compile an android rom lol as well as part optimize the codes lol and I can do kernels 0o na aosp is better then everyone has truly accomplished it lol just wait till the 4th ^^ also Yeah I admit I am still a bit sketchy with java lol but android is easy enough ^^

Yeah on july 4th what ever you have by then and want to contribute will be great or even after ^^ or even testing ^^
[G1 Android Development] kingkurry:
over here:

AS: I know that there’s some debate in the community as to whether people like you are actual developers. Would you guys be okay with me calling you devs?

Zach: No problem

Stefan: Yeah, because devs don’t have to be coders

Well, i guess you arent explicitly saying your not a coder. Anyway, im going to learn some java over the summer. ill see what i have to contribute on the 4th. Anyway, this is a great idea. :D
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
lol cool ^^ na I have learned a lot since then and yeah during that interview it was on our ZX Team rom's and for them we just file pushed etc. couldn't be bothered with coding anything for them xD but yeah I believe even making a rom by file pushing etc. you should still be a dev as you have made something well in my terms developed something lmfao it's just in any rom's iv'e done I didn't need to do any coding lmfao ^^ except for my own phone just doing bit's and bobs for fun xD
[G1 Android Development] grennis:
Is there a download URL yet?
[G1 Android Development] kingkurry:
Cool. Im thinking of just compiling the AOSP source, or maybe Cyanogen's source, and make a basic ROM from there just to learn.
[G1 Android Development] silthos:
can i start off an idea :)

take the working stable cyanogen 5.0.8 and mixing it with Rosie (sense).

I mean i don't know if its possible to get the camera and bluetooth driver from the kernel of cyanogen's and plant it in Rosie but their team reversed engineered it.

Hero sense added to Cyanogen 5.0.8 will be awesome. but to enable everyone you could do different themed versions of it to include themer's and stuff.

Here's my 2 cents about what the Rom might include:

-Based off cyanogen 5.0.8 stable

-working bluetooth

-working camera and video

-Rosie (sense)

-Htc Music app

well that it really.

__________________________________________________________________________

please note: not to be rude but to the people who rip on my post i don't care. i just wanted to add my own input haha.

-codex
[G1 Android Development] Tony_SpaZ:
Problem with using Rosie, is you would have to throw the HTC Framework in there. If they can shrink it enough, maybe we could have sense, but I don't think it's that easy to get HTC's Framework and Cyanogen to play nicely together.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
errm , you do know that I don't consider myself to be a dev, very very few devs in g1 xda, and none of the real devs have posted in this thread i.e. the ones you listed.

but you know, as I proved with the slide port I did, it is very easy to do. It took me only a few hours, starting from scratch. And most of that was tuning the install script for 3 different setups ( NoneDanger, Danger and MT3G )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TonicUK:
hi, Ive tried it all... th latest n most current version cab for touch screen phones is what i downloaded straight from opera's mobile page. says install was unsuccessful. tried opera mini n same thing.

[HD2 General] Moschino02:
I hope someone can assist me with my query.

I noticed that I have got spritebackup.exe file on my Sd card which came preinstalled with my hd2.I am familiar with the software but my question is what do I do with it? I cannot open it? The software is not installed anywhere on my hd2..I have spoken to htc and uk tmobile regarding this but did not have an answer?!

Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question

Many thanks
[HD2 General] M3PH:
you probably have to run it on your pc with the phone hooked up to activesync via the usb.

It was a dumb question but i'll let you off coz it's gone 1AM
[HD2 General] dio62000:
There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. Obviously HTC don't have an answer and you don't have either, if you say 'probably'... :rolleyes:

Having said that, of course it may be an .exe file you should run from your PC, but backups made with SpriteBackup are .exe files which you can install from your SD-card to restore a backup. You don't need SpriteBackup to do this, of course ;-). But it's strange that it came with the SD card. Looks like someone made a backup, then decided he didn't want the phone anymore and returned it, including the backup he already made. Maybe it's the software for SpriteBackup, but it's a paid app, so this is unlikely (or it's a trial), but if HTC don't know, how did it get there?

The only way to find out what it does is to double click or indeed install from your PC (make sure you make your own backup first :p).
[HD2 General] Wingnutt:
I got my HD2 a month or so ago after waiting about as long to get it.

my first call with it, was to tech support.. and things never really got better..

the amount of time Ive spent on the phone with tech support would probably be measured in days.

the list is..

Battery loasts about 12 hours of normal use.. I.E. i take it off the charger at 8am 3g enabled.. some light browsing, and 20 or so miniutes worth the talk time throughout the day.. no navigation.. no movies.. by 8pm or there abouts i start getting warnings to plug it in to avoid possable data loss.. its dead..

never stays on network.. i reboot the phone perhaps a dozen or so times a day.. the internet just flat out quits.. it says I have 3g.. but web pages wont load, and my messaging app (palringo) wont connect.. reboot.. and it works.. for a while.. maybe 5 min maybe 2 hours..

i have mail!!! no i dont.. in fact i dont even have mail setup on the phone, but none the less, it always says I have 1 new mail.. go figure..

sometimes after a reboot the green light keeps blinking, like i have a sms or something, i have no messages.. reboot the phone again.. and its gone

the speaker phone quits working if I dial 611... the customer care app they have on there screws it up apparently (tier 2 support told me the app causes it) reboot the phone.. and it works again.. till i diall 611 that is.

they have had me do the master reset 4 times

reinstall the update 3 times (despite the phone already being "up to date when i got it"

and take the battery out more times than i can count.

needless to say, i haven't installed much of anything on the phone.. considering the next master reset is only a day or so away usually.

Tell me this is an anomaly, tell me the next one will be better, tell me this phone does not suck this bad.
[HD2 General] BumAround:
phone doesn't suck, it's juct the techie or whoever put the stock ROM and/or initial settings. T-Mobile?
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Look for hspl2 and install it then install radio rom 2.10.50.xx that should sort that out

you do actually have one email. as with all email clients they come with a new mail to tell you how great they are. That is exactly what this mail is.

No smart assed answer for this one. The new radio may fix it but i'm not positive.

That's your providers fault not the phones. have a go at them!!

Only if you sit on my face and tell me that you love me, ROFL :D:D:D.

Seriously though, i've not had any major problems with my Leo. I have had to hard reset it once but that was my own fault. I also have found that the newer roms (1.66wwe, 2.10 tmous or 3.01 based custom roms) have less issues. This also goes for the radio roms. The newer ones (2.10.50.xx and 2.11.50.20 <-- only use that with 3.01 or higher roms) are better for performance and battery life than older ones. You may just need to take a leap of faith and go down the custom route.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
I know this may sound like a steep learningcurve, but read how to flash a ROM and put something better software on it. This should solve most of the problems.

However... Perhaps wait for some more comments first, as ROM flashing, despite causing few problems and being reversible, can infringe your manufacturer's warranty and if this is a hardware problem, I don't want you to lose your rights.

(Tip: Try EnergyRom, I'm not saying it's the best, jsut that I'm using it at the moment and can say the current release is nice and stable)
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I'll second that. I actually did a lot of research before i flash my first custom rom (which happened to be the latest 23569 energy rom) and i would definitely say it is the best out there (especially in standard sense guise) and i'd recommend it to anyone looking to flash their first custom rom.
[HD2 General] aiwama:
Alternatively, if, like me, you are afraid of going through the difficult process of getting a new ROM here, just follow the straight-forward way of doing it officially trough HTC's website.

They have ROM upgrades for O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone. I haven't done it yet because l'm waiting for my laptop to be returned from the repair shop. I guess HTC ROM's are not as good as the many you can get from here.

The 'official' ones are bloated with lots of unecessary stuff while the 'cooked' ones have all the essentials + added & tuned functionality. Just be very careful and do not brick your HD2. It is a very good phone when it behaves properly.

Try & download an excellent reset .cab (Touch X Reset) from this forum; it will save you a lot of time because you'll not need to constantly remove the back cover & the battery. Good luck.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
i hope this that you mean you are getting a new one. sounds like your device is a lemon. i agree with the posters above that you should try flashing a new rom; really if you read a lot beforehand there is little chance of bricking your phone and what do you have to lose? you can always go back to stock. but personally, the device should work out of the box. flashing should simply be an option to make it better. you should not have to flash a new custom rom just to make the thing work (e.g. doing the basics - like make phone calls, etc.)

so next time when you are about to do a master reset, read and flash a new rom. maybe it will be the cure. but if you have a warranty i would return the sucker and get one that can do what you are paying for it to do.

cheers.
[HD2 General] Bixx:
Hi, a couple of points worth noting.

If you are in an area where the signal from your provider is very poor, ie almost non-existent, the phone will be constantly try to log-in to the network. This will drastically reduce your battery life.

Also, when there is no network it can sometimes show the 3G symbol in the status bar making you think you have somehow managed to achieve the impossible but Opera will stay blank.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
Wondering how one might get VVM (Visual Voicemail from Sprint/SenseUI) working on one of these ROMs.

(Specifically Using DarchDroid 2.7)

Someone (Decad3nce?) offered to possibly help with this on page 3 of Darchs newest ROM thread I believe. They mentioned that we should grab Sprint_Core.apk from DC, and then I assume the VVM apk (if I can find it).

I would assume since (at lease the Sprint_Core) are sys apps, that they cannot be "installed" like an app apk. Could I get specific instructions on how to get these installed on Darchdroid? I would assume through adb? (Only used this a few times...)

Since I have a nice nandroid BU I like, and on a fresh flash of DD (KangSlayer!), willing to experiment a bit.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashb91:
lol, coming from the same forum asking the same question. i actually got one to install but as far as it working im not sure. i tried sending myself a message and it never came through. the one i was able to install is an older version i believe but ill attach it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
I sent Decad3nce a PM, perhaps he will find time to help us VVM addicts ;)

(seriously the ONLY Hero feature I "can't live without". LOL)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashb91:
lol. its weird but since flashing an aosp rom, it seems as though i get voicemails more often. its really annoying having to use the regular voicemail thing which is why im requesting a fix for VVM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Ok, sorry about that. I was at the hospital(my great aunt). But, I'm throwing together a flashable for you and for anyone else. Just working out a kink.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashb91:
oh wow, sorry hear. hope shes ok. thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
oh jeez. serious man, no frickin hurry for our little annoyance.

best of luck and good thoughts for you and yours.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostileenviroment:
im confused...are you putting the zip up because your nice, or because it takes more than just the .apk to make it work? id understand either way :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashb91:
i believes its because it take more than an apk for it to work. ive already tried installing one, and while it did work i couldnt receive messages.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Here's the flashable with a few changes to the database, apns_conf.xml, and build.prop. (essentially the changes that were made in DarchLegend to get this working).

Make sure you have your entire ROM already set up before flashing this.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. FLASH THE ATTACHED ZIP, IT CONTAINS ALL THE FILES YOU'LL NEED

The files will be flashed, or moved to the right places

2. INSTALL SPRINT_CORE.APK (Which is VVM)

Before doing this, check if you can find "voicemail" in your app drawer. If you can, you don't have to install. Some people's Voicemail doesn't show up so it requires the install.

adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app/
install Sprint_Core.apk /system/app/SprintVVM.apk
exit

3.CHANGE YOUR VOICEMAIL SETTINGS IN SETTINGS>CALL SETTINGS>VOICEMAIL

Put your phone number under carrier settings

it's as easy as...

FLASH, THEN INSTALL, THEN CHANGE SETTINGS

NOTE If you flashed yesterdays version, it changed your mod version to 2.6.4. It's not a huge deal, but it might mess with DSUpdater. So just flash this to get the right version.

SORRY!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashb91:
So, to clearify I have to change the settings for my voicemail, then flash this and then finally install vvm?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Flash, install, change settings.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokentoaster24:
i just pulled sprint_core.apk from another rom and installed it with astro.

worked for me :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Anyone? Update? lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bee976:
ok so i

1. flash vvm-signed.zip

2. install sprint_core.apk from file manager

3. change settings

sorry if this is redundant, i just wanna make sur ei have the right files.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
yeah, then tell me if it worked. lol.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bee976:
roger, stand by 2 stand by
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3FAULT:
Worked for me as far as I can tell.

Only thing is, and I don't know if/how this is related, but I get a text from some weird number every time I get a call or voicemail now. I don't know if it's because of the ROM or this. It's really annoying and the text is mostly gibberish..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Yeah, same bug as in darchlegend. We never did get around to fixing that, but at least it works. :)

BTW, tell me if MMS works in the stock messaging app still? (should)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3FAULT:
Sending seems to work fine. I'll let you know about receiving in a sec.

edit: both sending and receiving work. Gracias.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Awesome. Bed time.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bee976:
SAmething here, everything is working fine. The sms issue is a bit annoying but, O well
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maderf:
can somebody post the instructions and all files needed in one post so we don't have to run around trying to find all the files?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Have you checked this post?

lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maderf:
is that zip the entire fix with all files? Just flash that? The post you linked says I'll still need to install VM.

forgive me i'm a bit of a noob...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
It's all in there, but you still need to install the apk. It'll be in system/app after you flash the zip.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maderf:
Oh alright, I understand now. Thanks for being patient.
