[Galaxy S I9000 General] pzumk:
Sounds great but I guess it'll require mods.

But he's wrong when saying "black is like display off" since there's still the backlight which uses battery

Edit // or am I wrong? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706640
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
I think u r wrong. .. I remember. Reading that old have no backlight. That is why they save power over conventional displays.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thephawx:
AMOLED doesn't have a back light.

It has True blacks. I.E. when displaying the black color, it just doesn't turn on.

LCD's, to be visible, need a backlight/sidelight.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Yea but in that case would'nt it need a back light to illuminate the 9 bright pixels??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
OLED displays are made up of tiny organic LEDs (light-emitting diodes), so each subpixel emits its own light - the display is black when they're off. Different amounts of light emitted from the different colour subpixels gives a pixel with an overall colour. So if only 9 pixels are lit, only those 9 pixels are consuming power. This also means that brighter and whiter images use more power.

This is in contrast to a LCD, where there's a backlight that makes the entire display white when all the subpixels are off. Liquid crystal subpixels block the light to varying degrees in order to produce the image; each subpixel has a red, green or blue filter to produce colour. Therefore the image is subtractive from a white background. The power consumption doesn't really vary depending on the image being displayed, because the backlight is always on over the whole screen.

However, I don't know if the CPU would be able to sleep with the display "on", even if the display itself isn't consuming much power.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ClownShoes:
Nope. Only the nine pixels will be switched on. No backlight involved.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Hmmmm good point. Maybe in slo-mo power saving mode ;p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hmj2k3:
I prefer if the menu and back buttons would flash
[Galaxy S I9000 General] caelestis2:
Well, lets see if it does. Besides a few circuits keeping the screen ready, I don't think the display will use much power. To test we can try this and note the battery change with this on and find the delta battery percentage over time ratio and again with the screen off. I think the CPU will go idle if the display is not doing anything.

Me too, but this is just another way if that fails. I don't know if anyone has tried to do this yet.

Almost any installation cab that customizes system or manila files will fail inside my cooked rom. I have included sdkcerts, yets most of the cabs cannot be installed because they do not have sufficient system permissions.

Is there something that im missing? Should i include something in my ROM?

any help is much appreciated

Here is my findings:

when i exclude the CHT and CHTE from the ROM, i wont have any problem with permissions anymore. Did anyone else experience this?

I'll review the existing ones when I'm free and I'll post the one that works best on the first post. Or, you can be a tester. Use tenfar's quick rooter if you're already on 2.1, if not, try anon2122's update.zip or Eddie1506's 2.1 update.zip.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zane Lee:
Hi suman_pal78, you should grab the OTA link from your log. Give me that link and I'll remove the recovery.img for you, then you can flash it through your custom recovery as an update.zip. After that, you'll be able to get your OTA2 notification, then grab the link from your log as well, and pass that to me. I'll work the magic. (:

Here are the India 2.1 update zips for one of the great developers to root.

I did flash OTA1 after removing the recovery.img file from the zip and resigning the zip using droid explorer. I tried the same with OTA2 but phone wouldn't boot after that... Back to stock 1.5 till someone can help me out with this :)

OTA 1 http://download.brahmafamily.com/OTA_Hero_HTC_Asia_India_2.73.720.90-2.73.720.5_releaseykksu5if6nls1b8w.zip 4441 kb

Combining both updates

A request:)

Devs would it be possible to combine the above two updates and create a rooted rom that can be flashed over any other rom on HTC Hero?

I guess in order to flash the above two updates you need to have HTC_Rom_2.73.720.5 as your current build and i have a custom rom installed.

Will really appreciate it if one of the Devs can do the above.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] michael.satish:
Mate,

are these rooted or stock? If stock; how i can flash this on my hero. I've to send my hero to HTC for repair. Help me! This is make my day
[Hero, G2 Touch General] essbee1958:
These are stock zips grabbed from the HTC server and are the same as what you would get over the OTA.

These would replace your recovery image - so please be careful when you flash these as you would loose your custom recovery...

Do you have a custom recovery image installed in your phone? (You can find out by powering up pressing both home and power keys at the same time...). In case you do, I can send you the OTA 1 image with the recovery image removed which flashes fine on my original stock nandroid backup. Once you flash this you will get the update notification for OTA 2 - or download the zip from the earlier post and flash - this would give you a stock rom with stock recovery unrooted - should be ok to go for warranty repairs with that...

Cheers

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] michael.satish:
Mate,

i was running a custom recovery on 2.73.405.5 (which is not the one indian hero ships with and i have the lost the back up too, sad story). After i saw the updates on htc website, went ahead and changed the date and received the 1st OTA update. Installing didnt go well as the update required a stock recovery. So i reflashed the stock recovery via flashrec and updated the first OTA and later i found out that since it was running a Euro version, i got the Euro OTA1 and installed it and there was no change in the Rom version.

Now i need to know, is there any way, the two files you pulled out from the HTC server can be repacked to install it through stock recovery so that we can go stock all the way.

I think its possible, im just not the guy for that
[Hero, G2 Touch General] michael.satish:
if you got both the updates, that means you must be running on the indian rom version 2.73.720.5. If so? could you please give me your nandroid backup; that will most definitely solve my issues
[Hero, G2 Touch General] essbee1958:
Actually I am running VR 10.3.2 but I do have the nandroid of my original 1.5 ROM. I can upload that but without a custom recovery how are you going to flash?

Hey, I have tried looking all over on my phone, searched Google, searched xda, but to no avail; If i missed something, Mod, feel free to share the link and close this thread.

Anyway, here's my problem--After downloading a couple games (assassins creed and a racing game) all of their stupid sound files populate in my music library. Assassins Creed alone has over 1,200...

Is there any way to exclude those folders from the music player library, or put some sort of a filter on if the songs are < 30 seconds? I would prefer to keep using the stock music player if possible, but if there are no ways to fix it i'd be open to hearing about other players that would accomplish what i'm looking for.

[HTC Aria General] farquep:
I have the SDK for windows installed and have the drivers downloaded but they can not install. Even with my phone plugged in, i have tried all 3 different usb settings and currently have debugging turned on.

NOTE: The driver im trying to install is the adb driver.

Also this may be my first android phone but i do know my way inside and out on a computer
[HTC Aria General] Corporate Dog:
farquep,

I'm an Android newbie myself, but I don't think you need those SDK drivers. I tried installing them, and they weren't working for me, either.

I'm not sure if you're trying to root/enable sideloading on your phone, but I found that the drivers included with HTC Sync seemed to get me where I needed to be as far as THAT effort goes.

If you're just trying to hook up your phone to your PC, and expecting to be able to access it like a removable drive, I'm pretty sure you'll be unable to do that until you go through the rooting/sideload enabling process. I never had any luck with it UNTIL I rooted my phone, and I'm pretty sure that's by AT&T's design.

Regards,

Corporate Dog
[HTC Aria General] doug@jdhcon.com:
You need to modify the .inf file for the driver to include your device/vendor code manually or just do what I did which is easier and install HTC sync won't hurt anything you don't have to use it. It will modify the file for you. Or you could have someone upload there modified file. At any rate the problem is the USB plug and play system that does not recognize your device. It only recognizes a handful of devices and the ARIA is not one of them. Good Luck.
