Opera 9.7 for me too. I prefer the scalable zoom over the 2 fixed zoom levels of Opera 10.

Once in a while, I will use Skyfire. A few sites seem to render better on Skyfire then Opera. But its Opera most of the time for me. Opera seems to be faster, and has a better zoom control.

IE is amazingly slow on my phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Doo Doo:
Skyfire FTW!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dragonlord785:
Opera 10 is working awesomely for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rajuabju:
Opera Mini 5 with the embedded Java package that someone here on XDA put together.

Mini is SO MUCH faster that Opera Mobile. Not even close IMO. It also seems to render most webpages better.

Skyfire is ok, but I tried an older version which was a bit buggy, not sure if their latest releases are better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shaolin95:
If you want to see flash then Skyfire for sure. For other things I use Opera 10.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] agrickard:
@ those using Opera 10: anyone successfully got the zoombar working. I thought I read somewhere about people working on this? I find 10 faster but as previously mentioned, control over zoom is needed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SvB4EvA:
I've been using SkyFire for about 6 months and I have loved it, BUT!!! the past couple days it has been total crap. They say they are fixing it on their forums... We will see... Opera it is for now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Opera 10 only have 2 zoom levels built-in (no scalable zoom), so the zoombar isn't going to work. I don't believe a hack is possible, since there is nothing there to hack (no scalable zoom to link the zoombar with).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khoyifish:
Thanks for all of your opinions. I might try Opera Mini out when I get back home. But ill probably just play it safe for a while, in regards to Skyfire.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
opera is a nice browser but it's pretty slow in my opinion. I have yet to try opera mini so I may give it a try. So far my fav is skyfire because it's the fastest that I have ever used. I think MS should just buy skyfire and put it in their windows mobile. It may help them to sell their windows mobile phone:)>

anyone know if our zoom bar can work with opera mini? One of my problem with skyfire is the zoom bar not working with it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiamilo:
These days I have been hazzled by the sense being stuck and dead soon after I reset my HTC HD2. I tried all kinds of ROMS, such as Kwbr, energy, dZenkinZ...etc. even the offical ROMS;however old problem haunted my device.

after one day's effort, i finally resolve this problem and bring my device back to the original performance. and also this method also applies to other slow speed and other issues you may encounter.

Let's come to the point.

1. mtty （pls refer to the related info on XDA-developers.com）

If you think mtty is too complicated, then try to download task29 without mtty.

this step will help you to refresh your ROM and make it a virgin land for a new ROM.

2.now the problems is due to your MicroSD.

after a long period of use, your MicroSD accompanying your HD2 will be studded with a lot of files, big or small, good or bad.

YES, the problem is because of the mess in the MicroSD.

OK, what u need to is backup the contents in MicroSD and format your MicroSD. restart your device. Look and feel what u have got now!

Smooth, Stable, and Superspeed.

If u have this problem or the related problem, you can give it a try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
I will second this, I had a bunch of music, and ringtones on the SD card, now I did not format the card, but just to test, I moved the ringtones and some of the music to internal memory, and deleted the rest ...

BINGO , Sense still stuttered but started up much faster, the second reset, first one I attribute to it clearing out the old location from its cache ...

The Ringtones seem to almost cause more of a slowdown on startup than the music, of course I have like 400 ringtones, just an observation ....

EDIT: DON'T UPDATE TO 2.1 AGAIN SINCE IT WILL HANG ONE MORE TIME. WAIT FOR HTC TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!!!!

EDIT 2: BACK UPP ALL YOUR DATA FROM YOUR MEMORY CARD FIRST!!!

EDIT 3: How did I find this out? I talked to a very helpful HTC suport rep (yes they do actually exist in Sweden). He helped me do these steps and so I thought I should share this.

Ok so you got a message that 2.1 was available for your Hero - FINELY! and you installed it using OTA. And then you got a triangle with a ! in it and you rebooted and all it says is "HERO".

This is how to solve it!

Take out your memory card. FORMAT TO <span style="font-weight:bold;">FAT32</span>!!!

Download the RUU 2.73.405.5 from HTC support homepage

Run the installation.

When it fails to find your phone <span style="font-weight:bold;">DON'T EXIT!!!</span>

If you are using Windows 7 go in to c:\Users\<span style="font-style:italic;">yourusername</span>\AppData\Local\Temp

Search for ROM.zip

Move to desktop

Rename to HEROIMG.zip

Transfer to your newly formated memory card now with FAT32 file system

Put memory card into phone

Start phone holding volume down pressed.

It will now check zip fil and then ask if you want to install.

homekey for YES

After installing you have 1.5 again and can safely upgrade to 2.1 OTA
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
seriously.. that's complex... LoL

and you figured this elaborate method out... how?

I mean, thank you, I'm sure people will find this helpful. It just doesn't seem like the sort of thing you'd just randomly work out yourself. How did you figure it out? if it was by trial and error then my sympathies go to you and how much time you must have spent!

cheers

You should probably add "back up data from your sdcard" as first step, as I can easily imagine some total newbie being surprised that all of his data are suddenly gone. :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalagas:
Is this another method to downgrade??? I mean i have made OTA update successfully but now i want to downgrade to root my phone and i tryed everything, even GoldCard method, but nothing happens. When i try to install an older ROM to root it first and then use one of 2.1 allready rooted ROMs from this forum, I get always an error message that can't connect to my phone and also HTC Sync doesn't work...

So i'll try this method to see if i can downgrade my Hero...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 2300s:
Currently trying this out on my Hero "locked/unrooted" by the 2.1 OTA update.

As stated in post 1 - remember to rename the file before copying to SD - if not the device will not find the file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 2300s:
Success - back on 1.5

Got a OTA prompt on first boot.

Now going to root and install a pre-rooted 2.1 image
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalagas:
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!11

Finally it seems that an employ of HTC Sweden gave as the solution to downgrade our Hero so we can root it....

A question: The ROM.zip which creating when you try to flash RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe is unique for every phone or we can rename it to HEROIMG.zip and upload it somewhere so everybody who made the OTA update to official 2.1 could use it?????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 2300s:
Flashed a rooted 2.1 - works perfectly

This is the way to go for those that fails to see the warning against installing the 2.1 OTA on a rooted 1.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalagas:
Which official Rom did you use to create ROM.zip and which 2.1 rooted Rom did you use after???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 2300s:
To create the ROM.zip i used:

RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe

Better Faster Easier way

When your phone go into triangle with ! do this

1. remove the battery

2. press vol down + power

3. press back to go to fastboot

4. connect phone to pc

5. double click on ROM 2.73.405.5 from HTC

it will update to the original rom and you r done :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lutchezar:
What about apps,settings, bookmarks when downgrading this way - do they stay or you loose everything?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalagas:
You loose everything...

I can confirm, with this method i downgraded from original OTA 2.1 update and i rooted my Hero...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Serial12:
Sorry beforehand if I have fail to make the correct assumption..

but is it possible to return to 1.5 from 2.1 on a unrooted/unbranded hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Serial12:
ok, got my answer already.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mac1929:
So I suppose this method can also be used to flash a custom rom without a custom recovery...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalagas:
I didn't test that. I only downgraded from original and unrooted 2.1 to 1.5 and then I used a recovery image to pass a rooted 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkp02:

I have the the original HK 2.1 update. I have managed to run the RUU which you suggested above. I have also managed to locate the ROM ZIP and change it to " HEROIMG.zip" which was sucessfully detected.

I think the RUU flashes a new SPL alongwith the new HBOOT which is in the OTA zip file. Maybe using the goldcard like I did the RUU can also be bypassed - this is just a guess as I don't have the guts to try it myself :)

From reading this post, and one at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=21106#p21106, it would appear that this method is capable of downgrading from 2.1 OTA to 1.5, which is easily rooted using the goldcard method or whatever (loads of info available on this process elsewhere...)

So for anyone who flashed ota, try this. That person on the linked thread replied 2 posts down to show the process he underwent.

Fully Remove CyanoGen Mod

I was trying to use this method to fully remove cyanogen mod, and go back to my original ROM.

Any way i can fully remove CyanoGenMod from my HTC and install those original RUU.EXE files from HTC?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
You'll have to make sure that the proper driver (HTC-sync drivers) is installed for your device.. it has to have the name "My HTC" (Win Vista/7, dunno with others) under Device Manager, otherwise it will be named "Android device" or "ADB-device" or similar. If your phone is recognized as "My HTC" you will just have to run the RUU.exe, and again make sure that when your phone has rebooted into bootloader that it still have the right (My HTC) driver installed :)

Hey guys, I have a question, what is the best client/program/interface to use for texting? I basically need speed, I couldn't care about the aesthetics too much. Its just after a while, the original Sense program completely dies in speed.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] minashokry:
Hello guys,

I upgraded my Nexus from Eclair (ERE27) to Froyo (FRF85b) using the

officially released image. I downloaded it from

http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-ota...,

renamed it to update.zip and installed it normally.

The update completes smoothly, but after it finishes, the adb is

broken. Any trial to issue adb shell or other adb commands. I get

"error: device not found". Everything was fine before I install the

update. so, I am accusing it.

Can anyone help?

I'd like to add that, before the official release, I tried many

unofficial releases like FRF50 and adb wasn't working on them so, I

downgraded to ERE27 again and restored adb. I thought this might be

some instability in unreleased version. but the final version still

has the same problem.

Anyone has an idea how to fix this?

BTW, I am on ubuntu 10.04 and I have correct rule files (they were

working before the upgrade).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hepæstus:
I believe the along with Froyo Google released an updated Android SDK I would get that and see if it fixes the issue

hi folks...

sorry if its been asked and answered elswhere... i didnt see this elsewhere on the forum.

when i upgraded my stock att n1 to 2.2, the trackball began glowing various colors for certain notifications. i know that a rooted phone can have this feature set for specific color for notification, but on stock 2.2, i cant find a guide to what glows what color, or how (if able?) to change the color settings.

sometimes my trackball now glows green, and sometimes white.. no rhyme or reason. anyone here have a link, or info on how to associate the meanings of trackball colors?

thanks :cool:

look for blink in the market
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manderson8898:
This is a feature of FROYO. For applications that support the color notification you can set it in the apps settings. I know on my I have text messages set to one color, gvoice to another and email to yet another.

HTH,

marka
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexusonemeover:
thanks for this info. looked at each of the programs you mentioned though, and it seems i dont have the same options that you mention above. can you be a bit more specific with how you access the setting?

ive entered the settings area of each program (gmail, voice, talk) and for gmail i have notification bar, ringtone, vibrate, and notify once. for voice, in addition to the gmail options (minus notify once), i have light option (but not color setting... just blink or not blink). for talk, i have notification bar, ringtone, and vibrate... thats it.

i did try the blink application posted above, but i dont use sms or mms (just voice), and i really dont need colors for incoming calls... just wanted distinct colors for voice, talk, and gmail.

thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonc:
The key point is this:

"For applications that support the color notification you can set it in the apps settings".

The stock apps don't have settings to change the colour of the notification. Things like Handcent SMS/ChompSMS/SMS Popup provide notifications that have specified colours, which you can use (and disable the stock apps notifications).

In a similar way, GMail notifier can be used instead of the stock gmail app notification to allow you to customise the colour of your gmail notification.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexusonemeover:
ok. i get the point.

thanks for the responses.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You're not able to change the colour of the incoming call LED, as the colour can only be changed when the screen is off, and when a call comes in, the screen lights up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
Is it a new thing since froyo, that you only get a trackball illumination for notifications other than calls, when the screen is OFF?

I am new to Froyo, like the majority of other Nexus users who do NOT frequent these forums. So I am also new to the coloured trackball and getting my head around it.

I see a few other new froyo newbies reporting their trackball does not illuminate any more since their OTA. But like me, they probably overlooked that apart from phone calls, it seemingly only notifies you when the screen is OFF. Make sense when you think about it, as notification will be in the notification bar with screen on and no need for trackball glow.

Next question.. What is supposed to display if two concurrent notifications occur for different colored events. Just the first color or perhaps a sequence (or even a blend of the two colors - joking)? Seems to me it just displays the most recent item. Is that correct?

A little annoying that the native google apps themselves don't support the colored trackball.

Anyway seems plenty of room for 3rd party apps to improve things. Like occulting different colors at the same time for differing notification sources. Multiple flashes to quantify number of new notifications.

Tried Blink but it did not really fit the bill for me.

So I am currently running with just ChompSMS telling me a unique color for SMS and I am looking for way to improve the rest.

he means the green color notification is controlled by google voice ... means you have a notification in google voice (GV)
