[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fussygit:
Ok i'll use my first post as an attempt to be useful, if only because i've read a whole lot from here and as yet written nowt :)

Now, first things first, being in the states do you have the G2 gsm hero, the one with the chin, or the US cdma sprint version? Makes a big difference if you want to do rooting.

Information searching for the hero doesn't have to come from active forums, many were hugely active when the phone first arrived and may not be so now, but much of the content is just as useful/relevant as it was then.

Oh, and i'm neither a dev, or a programmer or a techy phone expert, pc expert or any other expert come to that, just a hero owner that started much like you. Knowing nothing :D

Regarding the official 2.1 update, have no idea how it might arrive at your device, or mine as i'm not interested. Mine is rooted 1.5 with modaco 3.2 and it works just fine (and stable/reliable) for me, and does pretty much all i need it to do. The only exception being maybe bluetooth transfer.

When i got my hero it was the latest all singing, all dancing device that shamed most if not all other smartphones, eventually rooting it made it better, and unless i get to upgrade it every 6 months to me that's the way it'll stay.

I might go for a custom 2.1 rom at some point, be warned the official upgrade removes that possibility for the future, and even if you don't think you'll want to now, you may well change your mind once you've had the phone a while;)

How are the files stored on your sd card now? Separate folders are displayed separately. Contacts, downloads, camera shots etc I guess you could put them all in one folder but the album has an "all pictures" option anyway so why bother.

All my albums are stored in folders, with artwork, and just drag and drop into the music or mp3, can't recall what it's called right now, folder and display as whole albums in the player. If i want to create a folder just for one artists tracks then again it will display that "album" separately.

Works fine for me as i'm a whole album person rather than using playlists.

Any combination is possible, trial and error and personal preference time, but you wont break anything by trying.

Finally, have google work for you, or you tube, there's a heap of good stuff around, and more applications than my failing keyboard can mention hence rooting and apps2sd has unlimited my app count. No more worrying whether i can fit in that latest market find or what i have to delete first.

new batteries time before i launch this keyboard.....

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chevycam94:
There isnt one. And its a very safe bet that there wont be either. Stuff built for a 1.GHz processor (Desire), wont run correctly (if at all) on the G1 (528 MHz).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fallingup:
he tried in the beginning, but couldnt get it working graphically. sprecovery came out pretty quickly and so we didnt need it. then clockworkmod came and well, no need.

Plus Amon_Ra is mostly out of the recovery scene now.

My local Best Buy has a ton of Evos in stock, does anyone know if I'd be able to sign up for an Everything Plus plan there or can I only do that online?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
lol, you started a new thread to ask a question that could easily be answered with a quick call to... BEST BUY!!!

Best buy mobile can do anything with your account that Sprint can, except advance your upgrade eligibility date.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbm85:
Wrong. Third-party retailers can not access EPRP or SERO accounts on their systems. If you're lucky, you can get the Best Buy employee to do it over the phone with National Sales Support, but most of the time they can't be bothered. Especially if you are signing up for a brand new account; doing it over the phone is annoying and time consuming. But it never hurts to try.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
After june 28th update.

I've never noticed this before in the "Sound & Display" settings, but there appears to be an option that I've never seen before "Video out Setting(HDMI)". Options are Automatic, 720p, and 480p.

Was this option always there?

hi i accidently reset my htc desire on 3.1 MCR with A2SD and it got stuck in a bootloop i took the memory card out and it booted fine but im worried about the memory card if i put in a blank memory card will it bootloop or is it just the one i already had inside, it seems i wont be able to use the memory card it just sends my phone into bootloop.

Any solutions?

If you partitioned your SD use the same way to remove SWAP partition... I used fdisk command.

Garbled Text

I too just downloaded the Kindle app for my phone running CyanogenMod 5.8 -- I can confirm that the text is completely garbled.

Something it's not liking on the rom. If I had to guess, I'd say it's related to their DRM, and how they encoding/decoding....

Oh well...

Hi Guys,

I'm currently attempting building a ROM using the OSkitchen. I've managed to get the ROM to boot and removed all the stuff i dont want.

I've figured out how to add CAB's to the EXT packages to install the stuff i want...

There's a few things i'd like to know how to do - i've tried searching but not really found any useful info for the following things - any help would be much appreciated and im looking forward to releasing my ROM for you guys

* How do i customise where an application is installed to in the start menu - As an example the icon changer application installs into its own folder 'JWD apps'?

* How can i apply Registry tweaks and other settings so i dont have to set them after Flashing?

* And Finally how do i enable the extra RAM? I'm using a T-mobile base and Radio version 2.10.50.08_2.

Thanks a lot for any help offered.

Paul
[Windows Mobile] WoZZeR999:
I have not dealt with the first question, but for #2 all you have to do is create a new EXT package and add app.reg with all of the registry settings and tweaks you want to do. Label is something like Z_Tweaks so it gets processed last.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
1.- Many apps needs one special folder to be installed: like "Program files\JWD apps\" and many others run fine just in Windows\ so you can try to do this... open the file called app.dat in your app ext pkg... make a backup of your ext pkg... then delete all the entries in that file, but dont delete the entrie that puts the lnk into "windows\start menu\programs... It means that all the files will be intalled in windows folder... locate the lnk of that app open it with a txt editor like notepad and change the route to Windows\jwd icon changer.lnk or exe i dont know the exact name... and try to run the app from start menu... if it works ok... you will be able to run the app without double files in windows and programfiles... that lnk entrie in the app.dat allows you to select where does the icon will be in the start menu honeycomb... and you can edit all entries if you like into another folder... but remember not all apps works like this.

2.- already correctly answered ;)

3.- there is an answer i guess.... mmm in the thread that says something like "is it safe to use tmous 2.10 as base rom to cook wwe?" or something like that search using the tool you have the right keywords you will have the right answer ;)
[Windows Mobile] paulrgod:
Thanks so much for the answers guys - exactly what i was after - i'll get cracking with these tonight :)

I think i've found the info i need for enabling the 576mb RAM - i guess i'm just using the incorrect Tmous base, i'll download another and see what the result is...

Cheers

That's going to be a hard one for any phone.

But I would recommend checking out Proclip. http://www.proclipusa.com/ I've used them in the past with success. They don't have Aria specific mounts yet, but I bet they will eventually. Their Mini HD mounts could possibly work though.

I just installed the (long waited) 2.1 stock EU ROM.

All looks nice and fast but:

My wife called and the number appeared as (Unkown) caller.

All my contact numbers are in international format, i.e. +country code phone number.

I need to keep this format because I travel abroad on frequent basis.

I did not have this issue on 1.5 ROM but I remember having the same on my previous TouchPro.

Is this an HTC issue?

Thanks.

I got another problem ...

The SD Card that is not recognised by some applications like Astro (file deletion generate an error) or RSS application (not possible to access the SD Card).

I had to uninstall and install the apps again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olafos:
There's a whole list:

http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/17/t/2526.aspx

This is for issues on the Sprint Hero in the US, but since the user interface layer of the software is largely identical most of these issues apply to out Heros too.

What annoys me most is, that they didn't fix old bugs.

You can't select text in the browser with your trackball, which SHOULD work, since they have a special cursor showing up, that hardly moves. At least in 1.5 it moved ;) (although even then you couldn't really use it to select text).

I don't need to select with the trackball, but he current alternative by roughly tracing the text with your finger is NOT accurate at all.

I sent this issue with 1.5 to customer support and back then they replied, that it would be fixed in the 2.1 upgrade. Then, after I saw the Legend and Desire introductions in Barcelona where they showed of those cool Browser features (selecting text with your finger by placing two pins then translation and other stuff pops up) and I was certain this bug is fixed.

So I updated to 2.1 yesterday and behold... the browser doesn't have these features and doesn't allow for precise text selection either :mad:

I can understand, that they don't add the new features, but to the expense of keeping a bug??? Why didn't they just add the new selection method without the extended features like translation and such.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ueikap:
Another annoyance for me is that in the Dialer I cannot deactivate the Haptic feedback when dialing

and the second and bigger in my opinion is that the SIM contact are shown in the dialer (on 1.5 they where hidden if you decide to hide in the contact settings) :mad:

and in the recieved call, the system decide (I still don't understant how :confused:) if to show SIM or Google contact.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ueikap:
A friend of mine has same problem as you.

He has google contacts and phone contacts.

The number of phone contacts has a blank, juste after the international code. I tried to remove this blank and now the number is recognized.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Right firstly I am assuming you have installed the official 2.1 rom, if so well done you have now lost the ability to root..

Now for more bad news for you (if the above is true).

Live wallpapers are not officially on the htc hero, they are not included in the 2.1 official build and never will be.

You would have to install a 2.1 custom rom to get them.

Which brings me back to my first point, if you have installed the official update then you now have a locked bootloader so can't root, therefore can't get custom goodies like livewallpaper.

Plenty of warnings went out on this site for the last how ever many months.

JITstands for “just in time” compilation, and allows software to run faster by “compiling bytecode into native machine code at runtime which substantially increases performance”.

I have a water damaged hero, here is why-

Sorry you guys, but EzHero V5 will have to be a blind release. You may ask why? because I am in Seattle, WA USA, spending time with my family and well my cousin thought it would be funny to push me into the lake off the dock. What he didn't know was that I had my hero in my pocket, cause I always have it. Now I have a water damaged hero that I cant get to turn on. I dont have the money (or any money) to fix it or buy a new one, so I will be using my old Nokia for the time being. As for EzHero, The next release will be blind. Donations are appreciated to buy a new hero, Thanks

P.s. My cousin is 12 and they dont think it is his fault, so he or them wont pay for it D:<

Yup that looks good OP.. just totally cover it in the rice and leave it somewhere warm for a couple of days.. I wouldnt seal the plastic bag either.

What does it mean when it is red? I think it means it does have water damage
