I use Remote Web Desktop for SMS, which is the main reason I used MyMobiler to control my WinMo phone, but I still have to go on my phone to mark the messages read and to read them because there is a delay from when I get the message on my phone and when it shows up in Remote Desktop.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sputnikk23:
I have my HTC Vogue Touch flashed to android... Just foud out I have a free upgrade from Sprint and thinking about the HTC Hero..

doing some research before I get it as I love customizing this stuff and there looks to be plenty of ROMs here...

my first question being: aside from apps2sd what is the main reason for booting these ROMs? It even looks like the camera doesn't work in many of them. (which surprised me considering the phone is droid - stock)..

second question: I can see the rooting guides but not how to flash the HERo to any of these ROMs.. or am I missing something here?

Thanks..

get the evo or wait for the galaxy s pro
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
The Hero is still a worthy phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sputnikk23:
thanks for the advice..

an explanation as to why would be nice :)

and an answer to my other inquiries as well if possible..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lv2bll:
i do love my hero but if i had an upgrade right now i wouldnt go to a "last gen" phone

evo is a step up from the hero in every spec and is 4G!!!!!

the samsung galaxy will be very comparable to the evo but seems a little faster on the processing side

most of these roms are 2.1 which is complete exept for a couple bugs here and there. The roms that are dev'ing are the 2.2 roms which needs to be made from the ground up.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
sweet good for you!

we do have a ton of roms...

the custom roms are faster/better than the sprint rom.

the camera works in all the roms as far as i know?:confused: there was a time when the camera didn't work because HTC were being Dbags and withholding the kernel source, but toast solved that problem. the only rom atm without camera AFAIK is the froyo dev build.

once you root if you use the guides then they will show you how to flash a updated/custom recovery. then flashing roms is easy. boot into recovery and choose

flash update.zip

BOOM isn't that easy.;)

welcome.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melgabean:
question 1. besides apps2sd the main reason for booting roms is looks and customization in my oppinion. you can change around the keyboard the lock screen the menu options even remove the terrible bloatware included on the phone. plus an upside is speed - remove the files eating all your battery life and take that battery life and put it to overclocking the cpu.

as for the camera i don't know what you are talking about. almost every rom i've installed has the camera working correctly. sometimes a file is removed to make the phone run faster and the camera doesn't work but most of the times the camera is fixed pretty fast.

question 2. rooting your phone gives you access to files on your phone otherwise not able to delete. i.e. bloatware. by rooting your phone you can remove these files or adjust them how you want. now the ROM is a customization of android x.x that you flash to your hero that otherpeople have customized themselves. like removing the bloatware for you or using a custom kernel to make your phone run faster. or just changing around the entire look of android.

The Hero is a fantastic phone and can do many things. i would say upgrade and don't look back. but if you want a snapdragon CPU get the Evo. which is also an awesome phone. (but quite a bit more expensive)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
totally ignore the last part. Samsung is terrible also am I crazy or doesn't need to be in a different section?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus10o:
I see someone else posted about the camera..

Every single current rom we have, has a working camera. Aside from froyo 2.2, that hasnt been publicly released yet (it will soon though).

And rom currently up-to-date within the past month, should have everything working. You might run in to a few bugs, but most are user errors or can be simply fixed.

The hero is still a great phone with many months left in it. The Evo though is still the #1 choice, and i would get one if i could.

And person above me.. No you are not crazy. Should be in general section or Q & A
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
both of these statements are completely true.

the Hero is actually quite awesome, lots of potential in it still, and my guess is the 2.2 will run on it just swimmingly.

that being said... if you can get one cheap, do it! But frankly, if you have upgrade credit coming to you, use it on a newer gen phone... or I would anyway. sadly, there will be less ROMs/mods/community/whathaveyou for it, balanced by a sense of adventure exploring new territory with other ROMflash addicts and ROMcookers!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lv2bll:
ya know what? your right!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBadBuu:
Hero's a great phone.

Unbeatable combination of style, size, power, and functionality.

EVO's only better if you have no aesthetic considerations to ahm... consider.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sputnikk23:
still a bit confused. probably will make more sense once I get the phone.

for instance i'm looking at this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583291

point me to another one if there is something better...

I assume I put the ROMs on the SD card (andboot folder maybe? thats what it was on my vogue) and going into recovery console to select the "flash update.zip" will wipe the phone and install the custom ROM?

also, where can I gain clarification on these new acronyms to me such as JIT?

I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.. Afterall, I am a certified MS Server Admin and CCNA network admin.. hhaha

thanks for your help. great community here. hopefully i'll be sticking around.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
that guide is old.

THIS ONE

will work for 2.1 which is what the hero has now.

you can google JIT. google google google. all the questions have been answered at some point or another, its better to read someone's post than make a new post about the same thing thousands of other people have already asked about.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sputnikk23:
Ok found it. At first all I got were links to roms with JIT on it.

So after rooting, I basically get back into the recovery console and select flash from zip sdcard? Heck of alot easier than the Vogue I tell you that...

Thanks for the link

Another edit: Do the custom roms have multiple home page screens you can scroll to? On my vogue 1.6 droid I have like 5 home screens I can put shortcuts on. I just watched a HTC hero video on sprint and on the customizing video it didn't look like that was there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreptom:
I'm not saying the Hero isn't a good phone.. I'm saying if you have an upgrade, get the Evo or you'll be upset later. The phone is so much faster... 4g.. double cameras..big screen...

Bad better life, and it's a brick. I wouldn't use an upgrade on an old gen phone.

I just become a Sprint Preferred or whatever.. by having a plan over $70 and paying on time for 6 months.. I get my free upgrade in February. I definitely won't even consider the Evo.. I'll be looking at the next big thing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melgabean:
there are 7 screens you can put apps and widgets on. 1 home then 3 to the left and right.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Remember the movie Mad Max? Or was it the Road Warrior? It doesn't matter. The quote is still valid.

Speed is a question of money. How fast can you afford to go?

If you can afford it, get the Evo. If you want a cheaper, yet still awe phone, get the Hero. Then use your savings for a bigger SDHC card and Bluetooth headphones and other coolness.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
I agree that the phone has a lot left in it, but a lot of devs from several phones have jumped shipped to the Evo. I'm sticking with my Hero for another year atleast, unless a real good deal comes up.

If you want to save money I would get ther Hero as it it a lot cheaper than the Evo and you will also save the $10 extra a month. That and the Evo is too damn big. To me it was uncomfortable to hold and use with one hand.

Not only can you flash /install new roms, but with a little research you can mod the rom your self and theme it how you want. Also wireless tether is awesome and the Overclocking and Undervolting is making the phone better and faster.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sputnikk23:
Ok so I spent a few days trolling.

Looks like I'm going to have to flash the old RUU since I did the 2.1 update, then follow guide, then the custom ROM.

Question though, I'm stuck on picking one: Some are very nicely featured but I don't like the default look on any of them or the themes available in a 2nd/3rd post of the ROMs thread; generically speaking, is any themes compatible with any ROM? For instance, the Cyanogen mods you can Google to dark corners of the internet...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
You don't seem like a troll to me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcafro:
2.2

Well as someone said before, 2.2 has to be made from the ground up, does that mean that the developers making it can choose what they put on it and what they don't because its not like they take the froyo ROM from the nexus one and clean it up for the hero. Right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxproblemzxx:
Android is android, one phone does the same things as the other so the answer is yes, every rom has multiple home screens. And if you're thinking about rooting and flashing right away then I wouldn't worry about what's on the heros stock software. And just to add my 2 cent, if u don't like sense (like me) I'd get a aosp (stock android) Rom like darchdroid.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shammyh:
I've looked around a fair bit and haven't found anything, but does anyone know of a good way to get a constant blinking status light on the Rhodium (specifically Tilt2)? My old Kaiser had a blinking green light to indicate network status, which was useful, not only for verifying that the phone was locked onto the cell network, but also for finding the phone at night, or in a pitch black room. Also, there was an excellent tool "kaiser notification" that let you configure all the different lights, and events attached to them.

I know all about the stock ways of adjusting the led notifications (for missed call, new text, new email, etc) but i wanted to know if anyone knows of a tool to customize the led notifications, or of any way to make the light blink continuously when the phone is sleeping, but connected to the cell network.

Thanks in advance for any input!

[Nexus One Android Development] rpcameron:
It looks like something didn't get configured. Did you clean your build environment to make sure there are no carry-overs from a previous build? What system are you building on?

If you're building on a Mac, you have to do it on a case-sensitive filesystem. Also, building on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is not supported, either.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slughappy1:
Quick question. I plan on rooting my MyTouch Slide within the next couple days. I was just reading over your list and thought I'd try to move the adb file first. After I moved it to /usr/local/bin, and then opened a root terminal. I typed "adb", but nothing came up about a dameon being started. It looked like I had asked for the man page. Any idea why? Or if it started it anyway?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
The first time you run adb, do so as root "sudo adb devices", "sudo adb root" or the equivalent. It will start the daemon. A normal user (ie, not superuser) will not have the permissions to start a daemon.

When you run just "adb" without any options, it shows you the command-line options you can use with adb. Most Linux command-line apps work the same way when run without options.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slobatch:
beartard,

huge props to you. this is, by far, the best guide for rooting anything that i have ever used, and certainly for the slide.

as mac osx is a *nix system, this worked great. none of the steps were missing, everything was a normal sized font, and left justified, and took me from the stock to a custom rom flawlessly.

thanks a bunch.

really.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
I'm very glad it worked for you. Thanks! Did you have to do anything differently under MacOS? I used to use it before OS X came out. I know the newer versions are based on *nix, but I didn't know how similar they were underneath.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slobatch:
I didn't do very much differently.

I started with "How to get Root" section, as I didn't want to partition my sdcard and already had the SDK installed (obviously, though I really need to look into working with it more, as right now it scares the bejesus out of me).

I used a "do while [1]" style (I love accidentally rhyming) loop.sh file though, mostly because my terminal couldn't understand "watch" for some silly reason.

Your guide was just the one that felt the least like a tween myspace page (no offense to the other guides).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Ok, I am re-rooting my slide after having to get a replacement. I am trying to get it done using the newest ubuntu. I am a newb to ubuntu but I was able to get adb setup. When the device is booted up normally I can adb devices and recognize the device.

When I boot the phone into fast boot and adb it does not find anything. I went ahead and ran the loop.sh file and started recovery And saw the device pop up for a split second so I CTRL-C.

It does the same thing that it did when I rooted my old slide With XP. It saw the device but as soon as I CTRL-C its gone. I can do a battery pull, rerun the loop and boot into recovery and it wont find it.

Is this crap gonna be the same as on windows where you just gotta get lucky and get it to recognize? Sit here for hours on end every day until it gets recognized?????

By the way I am running everything as Root by typing sudo su in terminal before I start.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
I'm not sure what the problem is, man. I've never had to try more than once using the process above. You're using a new install of ubuntu. Do you have adb from the latest sdk?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
Just added the link to a new method for rooting and updated a few minor points.

[HTC Aria Accessories] sentinel79:
A bit of caution when picking out screen protectors

I had to cut the edges on my AT&T screen protectors due to the nature of the soft back which when pressure is applied to the front causes lifting on the screen protector's 4 corners. The dimensions are fine but the radius is too small for the corners causing them to protrude ... just cut them a little but I would have preferred to have 100% perfect screen protectors instead of half assed ones from AT&T ... why am I not surprised.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Donatron:
I purchased the same protector. I have the same issue as well. Makes it look really cheap with the corners sticking up.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Yoshiofthewire:
I had that, plus since I am opening mine a LOT for hacking, the bottom looks like crap.

Looks like I am going to replace the protector within a week of getting the phone.
[HTC Aria Accessories] attn1:
Just wrap the whole phone in plastic wrap with the back off. Then slip it on.

Bad idea most likely, but it would be funny if it worked well.
[HTC Aria Accessories] cegna09:
same issue. Trimmed the corners. It doesn't look that great, but doesn't peel up when i hit the corner on something. I'm on the third protector already. First one i screwed up the orientation and got dust under it when fixing. second peeled up when i hit one of the corners.

must be those poor quality screen protector. there us not much of an option atm. i would rather get a HTC HD mini screen protector and punch a hole on it.

I just had Ghost Armor put on my iPhone 3G (which I'm handing to my daughter when my Aria comes in). It's pretty nice, but the Aria isn't showing up on their website yet. And you would only really want to get the screen done, since you open up the phone to get to the battery and the SD Card.
