[Hero CDMA General] garol:
I have a sprint htc hero with build 1.56.651.2

I want to root it for the ultimate goal of using it as a wireless wifi access point. I have read alot about the different versions but don't see much about my build. Is it possible to root this version easily and where exactly are these steps? Sorry to be a noob!! I have JB itouches and phones so I should be ok with this.

It looks like I am running an "old" version (1.56...) I cant find any info on rooting this version (how come I never updated?!!!) If I root it what will the new build be that I have?

Should I update to the 2.27.651.5 version and then root it?

Any help? Thanks!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] gonzoangel:
do a search for theresthatguy and look at his guide to rooting the hero

its really easy
[Hero CDMA General] gonzoangel:
or you can update to .5 and use the unrevoked, entirely up to you. its the same result in the end.
[Hero CDMA General] garol:
thanks for the info!!! which way would be easier? Thanks!!
[Hero CDMA General] garol:
Thanks for the info! I checked theresthatguys directions and they are from 11/2009. Is that ok? Which way is easier? Thanks!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] garol:
ok I'm ready to root my hero.

I goto the site to DL the android sdk, and I don't see android-sdk_r4-windows.zip. I do see android-sdk_r06-windows.zip.

Is this what I want? I also want to know what is the best rom for wireless tethering. I think the fresh is but just want to make sure.

sorry to be a pain
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
Yes that sdk is fine its just been updated since the guide was written. As far as the best Rom its all going to depend on you, whether you like sense or want vanilla android, whether you want 2.1 or 2.2. I personally run both damage 2.0.9 when I'm in the mood for sense and then also Darch's froyo build when I want to help fix stuff and run vanilla. Fresh is also a good choice. Just make sure that you use wireless teather 1.60 that seems to be the most stable that I have found.
[Hero CDMA General] garol:
Now, I have installed the wireless tether and it seems to be working fine. Few questions though. When I rooted, I followed theresthatguy's instructions. I was never able to make a nandroid copy for some reason. How do I do that now? Second, are my OTA upgrades disabled or do I now have to do something else?

Thanks guys!!
[Hero CDMA General] bycoo222:
I'm not sure y no nandroid prob ur recovery image and no more ota updates its all flashing roms
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
Make sure you have enough room on your sd card for a nandroid. Then go to the recovery screen and you can do it from there.

Reboot to recovery > backup/restore > nand backup

To reboot to recovery turn the phone off, hold down the home button and tap the red power button. Hold home until the recovery screen pops up.

[HTC Aria General] sharlatan:
Hi, this is my first post and the HTC Aria is my first android phone… Am hoping I don't sound stupid and that someone can help me out. I have rooted the device and am currently using the b005 ROM.

I have tested the Simeji Japanese IME available on the market but am not too fond of it, and thus have been trying to install iWnnIME for 2 weeks now but can't seem to do it. jmaurice got the IME from a Japanese HTC Magic unit so I assume that it should work on the Aria: h t t p : / / my.opera.com/wiz/blog/2009/06/16/how-to-install-japanese-ime-on-android

I have followed his instructions. Everything works until I try to push stuff into the /system/lib/ folder (line 6 of jmaurice's blog instructions). I get the error msg: failed to copy 'iWnnIME/filename' to '/system/lib//filename': Out of memory

Example: failed to copy 'iWnnIME/libiwnn.so' to '/system/lib//libiwnn.so': Out of memory

I tried placing the files on my SD card and moving them over using Root Explorer (File Manager) but that didn't work either. The files would not move at all.

I then found h t t p : / / xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=526085&page=8, followed the instructions and got this output:

If I am not mistaken that means I have approximately 60MB free in /system. I don't understand why it's stating Out of Memory and failing to copy when the iWnnIME folder is around 13MB. Would greatly appreciate advice from you pros!

New docks are showing up on eBay now, including home docks similar to the Seido Jr. but actually made for the Evo, and a car mount made for the Evo,

Home docks

Car mount
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
when someone actually gets one of these home charger/dock combo's and confirms they fit and work, could you please post here, with the link to the one you bought?

so many of these things are junk, and dont fit the phone, that I am afraid to try another one that doesnt work, after getting burned already

thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] omegatyrant:
I actually bought a zuuma z4 and took it for a spin this morning. Wow that thing is solid! It stayed put even after a 120 degree turn at 20 mph!

It has an adjustable cradle with soft padding that holds my evo in place and gives it some protection.

I really only have 2 problems with it. It took me a while to figure out how to mount it properly as it comes with no proper instructions. Second, its byoc (bring your own charger).

Great for $30!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
zuuma looks very nice...too bad they dont make a home desktop/spare battery charger
[EVO 4G Accessories] LudoGris:
I am not buying the home dock, as I don't have a use for it...but I am buying the car mount and will report back how it works. Coming from the other side of the world though, so it will be 10 - 15 days before i report back.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dxearner:
Does the zuuma cover up the camera in the back? I am looking for a good dock so I can video some car racing (autocross).
[EVO 4G Accessories] jxs1984:
if it does, just get the ebay one and drill a nice hole on the holder
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
They sale a generic universal (rebranded) one at Wal-Mart that clamps on to the phone with thick foam padding. It's pretty stable and clips securely into the vents (or screws in / etc). It's like $9.99. Best of all, you don't have to remove your protective case to use it, since it adjusts with a button.

Food for thought.
[EVO 4G Accessories] simplyphp:
I wonder if it'll still fit if your phone has a case on. If not, that's a deal breaker.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tadtam:
If Car Mount is specifically made for EVO, why in the description does it say "Suction cup with lock clip to ensure your iphone 4 remains in place"

Same crap Products with different labeling:mad:
[EVO 4G Accessories] frankpreyes:
I just got my ebay order. This is the second item l got from the same seller. Unfortunately, the dock was shipped with no protective packaging, and part of the suction cup was broken. I'm hoping to get a replacement. There is a hole in the holder for the camera. Looks like the box was opened by customs, or was shipped broken because the broken piece was missing upon receipt. The holder is tight-fitting, and has 4 locking slots similar to my magellan dock. Build quality is ok for 6 bucks, but I doubt one would be able too fit an evo with a case in the holder. I have a zaggskin on mine. I previously purchased the battery charger and 2 batteries from this vendor.
[EVO 4G Accessories] LudoGris:
I received the car dock today and it works pretty well. There is a cutout for the camera, has to holders on the bottom (or side if you leave in portrait) and a flexible clip on the top. Has the universal 4 peg holder and the large middle so if you don't like their holder or need one with a longer neck you can get one. I have not tried it in the car as of this writing, only in the house to try out the fit. It is perfect without a case - with my "Barely There" case it fits, but no quite right. I will post pictures very soon so all can see what I mean.
[EVO 4G Accessories] LudoGris:
Easy enough...

Don't bother with this one. The fit on the car dock is tight...too tight. Left small, very tough to see, scratches. You may not notice, but I did and I am not happy with this one.

Not worth the few bucks it cost.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
DealExtreme just got it in for a little cheaper. They are good with refunding your money too when it comes to problems.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40745
[EVO 4G Accessories] saintirish:
Does anyone know if the dealextreme or ebay car holder will work if you have an extended battery with a larger back panel?? I ordered the extended 3000 mah battery off eBay.

Also, I just wanted to point out that the eBay car dock and the deal extreme one are definitely different.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Still_Waters_43:
I got the car dock and I really like it. It's a snug fit but the Evo pops in and out easily enough (I did not get any scratches on it). The Evo is held very securely and does not vibrate while the car is moving. There is maximum up/down and left/right adjustment and when the best postion is found you lock it in with two big hand screws. Overall I'm very satisfied. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] sprink0281:
You forgot to tell us which one you got!! There have been a few mentioned. And can it be used with a case?

[Droid Incredible Accessories] NickkxNekro:
I've really wanted to get a bigger battery, not necessarily a bigger phone. I was looking up videos on youtube, and I found a guy who actually bought one of those verizon silicon cases and used that instead of having a new backing for his phone because the battery was so much bigger. Do you guys really find not having to charge your phone for 20-30 hours worth the extra cover and stuff? I'm sure it's not an option for everyone, but why bother with that if you can just charge it sometime in between? Car chargers are cheap, and there should be some time of sleep between 20-30 hours of you using your phone (you know, where you could be charging it). Also, what is the biggest battery you can get without requiring an extra case?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] iedible23:
The 2150 mah battery is perfect for me. The new back protects the camera lense and the leds. I have also noticed that I can hold the phone by the extended back and it feels more comfortable then before.It doesn't add that much weight and the phone is still pretty slim. Obviously I also get improved battery life as well.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mzmartipants:
I have been using the 1750 battery and it improved my battery life from 6-8 hours to 9-12ish, which is perfect for me. I just needed to make it through the work day and the regular size works for me.

I couldn't go to a bigger battery, since I have a case that works for me and I don't want to change.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] azturbomini:
My 2 cents... I have the 2150. I still go through it once or sometimes twice a day. I dont like the way it feels in my front pocket and the fact there isn't much at all if any accessories that will fit it. I just ordered (4) 1500mah batteries and 2 charges off of eBay for a whopping $20. shipped. I can use the 2150 when I am out and not near a charger or just sell it and carry extra 1500's if needed.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ThugEsquire:
At that price, it sounds like you bought some off-brand garbage. While I hope that's not the case, could you please confirm/deny? What brand are these batteries?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] zedwards:
I need the extra battery...was out today using the stock one and was dead after 5 hours (3 hours I was using My Tracks on my run). I don't care about accessories, I just need it to not run out of charge.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] magneticzero:
I find the extra ummph in the 2150 battery to be worth the lil bulge in the back....modded a silicon case with a cutout to let the excess...works pretty well and couldnt be happier...the only downfall i found so far is the charge time is nearly 4 hrs from a completely dead battery...never really timed it but it takes a while, but worth it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] execute_method:
Bidallies has rhod160 (1500 mah) OE HTC batteries on ebay for $15 free shipping. I have a link posted in the general section on a thread called sense vs launcher pro
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DadamsJR:
I got the 2150 but would love the 3500 thats out!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] temporalwar:
what 1750 Battery do you have?

all the reviews I read say the stock '1500' replacement for the HD2 is the same if not better/cheaper?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] orcsbane13:
Looking to possibly trade to the incredible and saw the 3500 battery. Anyone have one and know how long it'll last with medium to heavy usage?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] vbhines:
I'm not sure which one he's using, but I'm using the Seido 1750. My battery life is...decent, I guess. If I bump charge. After reading so many threads on battery life for Android phones and, specifically, HTC Android phones, I'm left wondering a few things:

1. Since HTC seems to have issues charging batteries fully...if we're wiping Battery Stats appropriately (assuming you are rooted), does the phone actually "register" that it's got such a large battery to charge? Or is the phone so stupid that it stops charging it at a 1500's capacity?

2. When apps sync their data, is Android OS smart enough to have them sync at the same time? Or, does my 30 minute Facebook sync occur 10 minutes after my 30 minute Twitter sync, etc.?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] socarwolverine:
New to the forums guys, it was a round-about way I got my Incredible, extended battery, and seidio battery but here is my opinion on this. If you're not gonna use it heavily throughout the day then you can get away with the 1500/1750 batteries. But if you think you're gonna get some solid use out of the phone for a day, you don't want to have to charge it throughout the day, or you don't want to have to rush home and charge it before you go out then you should get an extended battery. Using both over the past week to see which one I want to stick with, the extended is just more convienient since I don't have to think about how much battery i'm at and remember to put it on a charger.

There is a guy on here who modified his case to accommodate the 2150 battery and after seeing that I think that's what i'm gonna do. If you can get the extended cheap then definitely go for it, its just more freedom in my opinion.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gedster314:
Why do you want to go to an Incredible? I thought the X was a better device. Just too big? I have yet to see an Evo or X so I have know idea how big these things are.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] obededom:
did you get lost? your in the Incredible section of the forum, so there will bee a predominant amount of Dinc users here.

And I'd rather have an Incredible over that piece of Moto anyday :p
[Droid Incredible Accessories] FredMan:
I recently bought a 2700mAh extended battery. I don't mind the extra thickness, it allows me to get a better grip on it. As for battery life its great. With the stock battery I could barely make it through 8hours at work. With the new battery I have made it 10hours and counting. I have had GPS, Sync, WiFi, and max screen brightness on all day and only at 73%. Made a few phone calls, and a few Twitter updates. Was worth it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gedster314:
No I didn't get lost. I was just curious what he did not like about the X. I would rather have an X but HTC phones are much easier to hack. A Dinc hacked on to Sprint Sero is hard to say no too. I would have done an Evo but used prices on an EVO are still ridiculous and I'm waiting for HTC sort out it's display issues.

Back to the topic at hand. I'm liking my Seidio 1750. With some tweaks I'm getting better battery life then my 3GS got. I make it through a whole day of moderate usage (some web, some streaming and 5-10 calls) and still have 20% at bed time. So I'm quite happy. Someone did point out a thread on Android Central. I won't return the battery but it did dampen my spirits a little.

Worthy purchase.

I had the HTC 2150mah and returned it. I just couldn't live with the bulk.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nowandaway:
I bought both 1750 and 2150 from HTC Pedia. They are both HTC BRAND batteries. They both work well and add work time to my INCREDIBLE. Don't buy anything but brand and you will be happy! I found HTC PEDIA to be the best place to buy accessories for my phone!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Stryker10thmtn:
Seidio 1750mah is so sweet...

...and some Best Buys carry them!

Call ahead, ask for the Best Buy Mobile department, and ask if they have the Platinum Series replacement battery in stock. Fits the Evo, Hero, Eris, etc too.

Yes, it is the Seidio battery, just rebranded to sound more 'Merican. Same goes with the cases, but unfortunately, they do not have the Seidio Incredible case... yet. ~$50 for the battery, about the same on the website, but you get it TODAY.

I had to shut off all my bluetooth and wifi before to get through a full day, but now I leave it on all day and still have a 50% charge. INSANE. YMMV.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] TheLynxy:
I have the 3500mAh. It was $65 shipped from Amazon, and defiantly worth it. I get minimum of 48 hours of heavy use out of it (not watching movies, just surfing / games / text / maps / bluetooth music).

Before my purchase I was pretty turned off about the extra thickness it would add. But I decided to just try and, and wow it's not bad at all in real life. It just looks bad in pictures, hardly noticeable in real life, it's like the phone was made to be this way.

Highly recommended
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Diggindude:
3500

Well, I don't know how the rest of you are getting such extended charges with a 3500 battery, but I AM at least getting a full day out of a charge now.

I'm usually at about 30% after 14 hours.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PeanutTM:
3500mh Battery is awesome!!!

Had the battery about a week now. Has definitely solved my battery issues once and for all. When working a 12-hour shift, I sometimes had to charge stock battery TWICE to make it through the day. Now, I have medium to heavy use throughout the day - including internet use, watching videos, etc., and still have 60% of battery left! I also have everything on that normally eats up the battery (Wi-Fi, GPS, full brightness level, etc.) VERY HAPPY WITH PURCHASE.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] zrxoa1:
I got a 2600 mAh battery off of e bay for about $12...comes with cover. Looks blocky and bulky, but I have only used it a few times. First time I was at 27 hours and battery was still at 40%. But it does take FOREVER to charge back up in the external charger I bought of e bay for $5.

I was looking at the 3500 battery at the Seidio site and notice this in the ad.....

2 or 3 HOURS????? Who has time to do that??!!!
