Most roms do. I think he just wanted to use the Darktremor Apps2SD.

It works...I had it on DarchDroid 2.7 before I reflased to Fresh 2.3.3 (have to constantly test the Darktremor app, so I don't stay on one rom for very long).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LC_Nab:
Thank you both for the answers .
[Desire General] cgrec92:
I find this so useful but apparently no one has heard of this :eek:

Once you have flashed a ROM you will be presented with the configuration screen (setup wifi, gmail, etc) but you can bypass all this and get to the homescreen

At the very start you will be asked to 'Touch the Android' :rolleyes:

Touch each corner of the screen in a clockwise manner starting from the top left to bypass the entire configuration and go straight to your homescreen.

For example top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left

Hope this helps peoples :D

my htc hermes (herm100) does the occasional white screen here and there, but i dropped it (like a foot away from the floor) and it almost always white screens, the phone will come on, the ATT logo (like the bios thing) will load up and everything, but as soon as its about to play the 3g animation, the screen fades to white, but everything works, the 3g sound plays, the screen responds to touch, etc. the screen also displays perfectly when i start to do a hard reset, the screen comes up to press r and all that, then space to boot, then the screen goes white again. i've taken the phone apart, checked everything out, made sure the ribbon cables and such were set properly, everything. If this helps, my camera had stopped working the night before...when i would click the camera button or started it from programs, it would say somethin along the lines of "the camera could not be started. initialization of camera failed" and i was actually gunna be asking about that right now til it uber white screened. Any help is appreciated.

White screen

Hi i'm also having the same problem with my hermes 300, Dropped off the back of the bed onto skirting board, about 1 1/2 feet. Started to white screen soon after this. Like you say when you format it the screen is fine until it gets past the first boot screen then slowly fades to white. Have heard stories about the ribbon cable to the navigation on the front. any help apreciated

What are the top 3 AOSP 2.1 for Non-Sprint CDMA Heros?

Trying to avoid issues with PRI, Radio and to suffer from lack of Data while roaming or lack of voicemail notification. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
darch droid is the only true aosp 2.1 rom here, the others are just stripped of sense apps but still have the framework. They are all excellent choices, however, and I suggest just flashing and trying, and develop your feel and opinion, as everybody's is different (and many phones seems to behave differently as well)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus10o:
There is also cyanogen mod 6. Its the darchdroid version of 2.2.

Both roms will work with other carriers. You might have to change 1 or 2 things so it doesnt say Sprint, but it will work.

Hey guys,

Just a slight annoyance I have with my phone, I'm using stock Sense 1.21:

When I open a text message all the dates appear as DD/MM/YY, which is what I'm used to, but when I am in the message application it lists all the message dates as MM/DD/YY (American format).

In date settings I have it set to DD/MM/YY.

Is this a known bug or am I missing something? :P

Cheers
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Try changing in Settings > Date & Time > Select date format.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdnbass:
I'm on the latest DC rom set at performance (like always)

I'm not sure why i've been getting a high WFI.

It used to always be really small, even in the 30's!

Yesterday I recalibrated the battery according to cyanogen's wiki.

Afterwards I got a bunch of "test/analysis apps" such as system, watchdog, and watts, just to see how things were going.

Overnight with the screen off I went from 100% to 0%(shutdown).

Probably due to the apps I installed..

So I checked my WFI and it was in the several hundreds 3-400!

I got rid of some possible rogue apps which has brought it down to the 80-120 range.

How can I get it back where it was before?

More specifically how can I target the specific apps which are causing me problems!

EDIT: It just went down 5% from 100% to 95% in about 1-2 minutes..

Theres something wrong here!

Someone, kindly help me out.

I'd pull battery and have a crack at that first.

2 won't work if it already has, so 3.. easiest way to tell if 3 will work, is open up terminal app, and if there is # step 3 will work, if your prompt is a $ though, step3 won't work, and something went wrong along the way

True... if I was still using the default phonebook (which is slow and buggy from my experience).

I use Phonebook 2.0 (free on the market) and don't have any issues with viewing or editing contact details.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tontonHD:
Hi everyone,

I was driving from Wash DC to Montreal about 3 weeks ago. Once I got to Syracuse NY my N1 just froze. I took off the battery and then it wouldn't boot. ( I was running frf50 + froyo radio since the first day it was leaked). I thought maybe a routine wipe would fix it. It didn't work. I was out of options and had to wait until I get to montreal to use a laptop and see whatsup. Once in Montreal I downloaded a Rordriguez Froyo and the phone booted up. Now the problem started. Wifi doesn't work. Whenever I turn it on it says unable to scan for networks and then another error pops up saying " Sorry! Activity wifi settings (in application settings) is not responding." I tried a million different roms and radios and the problem persists... Yesterday I flashed another froyo rom and wifi worked and actually connected to my home WLAN. Then suddenly it stopped working again... Can anybody help me? this is so frustrating, especially since I have only 2 bars of EDGE in my basement. I think it might be the Wifi driver that is causing all this. If somebody can link me with the Wifi driver I might be able to fix this problem...

Thanks!

PS: All radio related stuff work ( bluetooth, 3G...)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
if you flashed a lot of roms....and it didnt work, chances are its a hardware issue, not a wifi driver issue as thats reinstalled with all roms
[Droid Eris Android Development] VermiThrax423:
This may be the wrong thread to put this in (and if so any mod feel free to move it to the correct thread) but i felt that with the amount of experience all you guys have making roms and such im sure you all have a bit of other programming experience too. I was just wondering if there was a way of porting Iphone games to work on android? There is one game in particular that i want bad on my droid that my buddy has on his Iphone but its not available to us yet and there are only rumors that the devs of the game are working on an android version. So if anyone knows of a way or knows of somewhere i can read more about it i would love to hear it, especially since my wife and son are leaving to go back home for a week or two so i will have a lot of free time.

thanks in advance!
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
There is no easy way to port over iPhone apps to Android. Especially when you do not have the source code, which I doubt you do.

Even if you do have it, you have to rewrite it almost entirely because all iPhone apps are written in Obj-C and all Android apps are written in Java (some have small parts written in C/C++).
[Droid Eris Android Development] VermiThrax423:
Thats pretty much what i expected to hear, which is kind of a bummer... but the more i thought about it last night the more i realized how much work it would end up being considering nothing is perfect and there are always things that are breaking or not working properly and i could only imagine some of the problems that could come up.... but i suppose i could wait a few more months and hope that the rumors are true.

[Hero CDMA General] gab2012:
Yesterday I was on a train for around 3 hours using my phone to surf on my netbook, I noticed the phone was Hot to the touch after I was done, the temp as marked by the application was 49 C

is it safe for the phone to get this hot? I don't use it while tethering or anything, it just sits next to my netbook.

I am running the latest version of fresh which included version 1.6 of wifi tether

I'm also open to USB tether options aswell, I've used PdaNet and it works wonders, sad part is that my trial expired(can't log on to my work site since its HTTPS)
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
there is also easy tether, works like pda net, but it's a lot cheaper if you do want to buy. The other wired tether solutions don't work without mods to the kernel, and they haven't been applied to our phones yet. I've run my phone past 49 degrees a few times, and no damage yet, so i wouldn't worry about that. If you change to a non sprint pri, you can use mns tether, an option in damage roms, and maybe fresh as well but I'm not sure.
[Hero CDMA General] gab2012:
I'll check out easy tether, if not PDANet is the last option, thanks for your input!
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
I use easy tether, it works great. but also, even on usb tether phone still gets incredibly hot just from the cell radio being on constantly, just not as fast. but on a hot day (I work in a mechanic shop in FL) it still gets up to 50 degrees
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
If you don't use the Sprint Nascar or NFL apps, you can flash an Eris based ROM and then nandroid back to Fresh. It will enable the native USB tethering function.
[Hero CDMA General] Bradart:
The phone gets hot because it's using the cell and wifi radios simultaneously at their balls-out highest capable speed. It won't melt your phone or anything. Worst case scenario, it won't charge until it cools down.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Worst case scenario, it draws too much from your battery, overheating it and killing it. Li-Ion batterys hate heat, and it's not the phone heating up to 50C, it's the battery.
[Hero CDMA General] pb4life754:
i use the wifi tether i went and truned off the wake lock and my phone doesnt get hot any more
[Hero CDMA General] seajm:
What is force wake??
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
Another thing to consider, you are using a very old version of wifi tether. I used to have the same issue, then I upgraded my wifi tether to one of the 2.0.5 test versions and it is way better about staying cool.

I was on HBOOT 1.76.0007 which was flashed with the India OTA along with 2.1 - and thought I was just as screwed.

Just create a Goldcard, extract rom.zip from the 2.73.405.5 RUU, rename to HEROIMG.zip, transfer to the Goldcard and boot into fastboot. Hit volumedown to enter HBOOT and it should flash the rom. You should now be down to the old 1.5 - use flashrec to install a new recovery.

As far as i can see, you press Menu button (while in browser) then New Window but it keeps the old window open as well so you need to close that with the 'Windows' button (in Menu)

This hasn't been thoroughly tested as i'm on a Desire and have issues getting Ubuntu to start up due to some kernel issues regarding loopback devices but this should (Theoretically ;)) work.

If you'd like to test this out you have to first use the following tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=718952

Then replace the ubuntu.img of that package with this... (I kept the .img named ubuntu.img so as to alleviate the need to modify the bootubuntu chroot script)

http://www.multiupload.com/CO5NRRKN80

Post back here if it works.

I've attached a file with the five scripts that you need to boot this .img. Do NOT download the package in the first thread as that is for ubuntu.

In short...

1. Create a folder on the root of your sdcard called ubuntu

2. Extract both scripts.rar and ubuntu.rar in that folder

3. Follow the tutorial as posted in the first thread that I linked.
