[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
since the silence here is suggesting that no developers are going to (or are able to) help you out, I suggest you try playing with the slide rom that has sense rotation enabled.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=666640

it's not perfect, cant' record video, some issues that eventually always make me want to switch back (notably if you use exchange the contact list doesn't join contacts from exchagne email, gmail email, and active directory email... but it should and does in non-slide roms).

But it has the fastest launcher screen rotation of any hero rom I've used, faster than vanilla + launcherpro and far more stable in how it senses screen rotation. it's a sense rom that is actually designed to work as well landscape as portrait.

it doesn't rotate instantly, but it's noticeably faster turning (for me using only it's built in array of sense widgets) if you want to use horizontal layout. And it stays in place better - you know how annoying it is when launcherpro has rotation enabled and you move your phone a bit and suddenly it's redrawing sideways for the next 6 seconds... well I haven't found that to be much of an issue in that slide rom.

There are still a couple of parts that dumbly don't rotate, or at least not in the default settings I tried (contacts for example and settings are I think still portrait - stupid mistakes on HTC's part).

If you nandroid first or bart first if you use an ext partition then you have no worries in flashing the above rom to at least give it a try.

This is one area where the new iphone seems to win out I'm afraid - it's launcher screen rotation is really nice, animated, quick, stable and very useful.

Dammit LoL

good luck, post your findings please!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] m0jo:
thank you for your effort but that rom you suggested does not meet my requirements and i cant say that i like the modified rosie that is used here. :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's fair :-)

At least I tried :-)

If an actual rom developer had a solution for you it would be more interesting!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
have you considered talking to one of the 3rd party launcher developers? such as the guy who makes launcherpro, the adw guy(s), and so on?

Maybe that is where your solution lies?

That combined with maybe talking to one of the cyanogenmod developers themselves (who aren't hero-specific, you'd have to google their home website)?

Cyanogenmod might be able to add an option for 90 degree rotation only (with no zero degree switching). or at least show you how to change it yourself.

Good luck!

Guys I m new in the forums so please bare with me..I was about to place my order for nexus one it was sold out,,now I don't clearly know the reasons why they stoppd selling it..but couldn't get a good deal anywhere,in amazon its about 600-650$ .is it worth the buy?as I have a feeling froyo my be last update for nexus and no more..and suggest me some good alternatives please..
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
Froyo will NOT be the last update for the nexus, gingerbread won't be last update for nexus either

But good alternatives, I would say samsung galaxy s, but don't expect updates from samsung, froyo prob will be last update for galaxy s, it will be the community that provides updates on it

Motorola looks like it will lock down all of its future android phones, so I can't recommend them

Any new htc android will be the best choice I think

Rellikzephyr
[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
Support for a costly product which I get to buy once in a while is must,,galaxy s is a real good phone but without a smooth interface and I don't expect frequent bug fixes from Samsung(I use a galaxy spica I hate samsung for no updates), how about the htc desire?

Edit: saw some videos about no multitouch but only 2 finger support (pinch to zoom only)for nexus and desire,and the faulty multitouch on both devices,do they really matter in real usage?
[Nexus One General] t0mmy:
Just register as a developer ($25) then buy a nexus one when they're back in stock ($520 + tax).. and to answer your question: yes, it's worth it :P

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
Ya thanks,forgot about that,but will the developer version be same as retail version? Just curious..
[Nexus One General] Dai323:
I dont know if the dev version is better, but it wont be worse.

And should you buy a Nexus One? All I will say is this:

Im playing Final Fantasy VII right now with the new Playstation1 emulator on my Nexus at FULL SPEED WITH SOUND.

Nuff said ;)
[Nexus One General] reddyfire:
Can i get a link to that emulator and ff7

Muchas grassy ass
[Nexus One General] SeEsAw12:
I don't think any phone is worth that much.

I did TONS of shopping around and waiting and ended up getting a Nexus One for 350 through Craigslist.

I'm insanely happy with my buy, but if you need one ASAP, just register as a Dev ;)
[Nexus One General] jdmoore81:
I have one for sale on ebay cheaper than that but its on locked and on T-Mobile bands
[Nexus One General] jdmoore81:
I meant unlocked and comes with a desk dock
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Honestly I would probably spend that much for the nexus simply cause I think its the best on the market still simply because its the Google developer phone. Clean vanilla android, updates right from Google, will get gingerbread, and its the best build quality still out there. :-)
[Nexus One General] Amdathlonuk:
Or buy mine currently in the XDA Market forum.

I'll happily ship anywhere :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731829
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
Yeah, the htc desire would be good, because essentially its just a nexus one internally, only difference is buttons, optical sensor (instead of trackball) and 64 mb more ram and of course sense ui.

[Nexus One General] noiz7:
You can go to https://www.google.com/accounts/Ser...sh&followup=http://market.android.com/publish and register as a developer. It is a one time $25 fee
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
The HTC Desire is getting Froyo with 720p recording. Is the Nexus One going to get that officially from Google?
[Nexus One General] P2010:
is there a way to get HTC desire in Canada

Hello,

Is there a way to order and get HTC desire in Canada?

I will be interested to get this one (HTC sense is a cool option to have)

[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
Guys I can't find any nexus one availability on nexus one site,can anyone here please confirm it is available now..I want to register as developer only if I can buy a nexus now,thanks
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
I just registered as a developer last night to upload an app and its not available right now. I think the rumor is that it should start being available sometime later this month.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
I think I remember it being available after the 10th.
[Nexus One General] P2010:
will you please let us klnow when it will be available

Hello Friends,

will you please be kind to let us know when the N1 will be available so I can register to get it, I will only register to get the phone so there is no need to register without being sure it is there :)

thank you

No, it is not worth that much. I just got off the phone with HTC support for my 5th return. Here are the problems I've had:

1) headphone jack / power button

2) headphone jack

3) radio couldn't keep a signal

4) radio couldn't keep a signal

5) what will the fifth phone bring me?????????
[Nexus One General] cigar3tte:
After five phones you should've realized it's not the phone...

Just search psx4droid. It costs $5.99 but its well worth it!
[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
Thanks for the offer mate,the phone looks fine in the pics but had a bad experience with a used phone I had earlier and decided will never buy a used phone again...
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Keep your eyes on the Google site for them to sell the Nexus to Developers. It is worth the bucks ;)
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
LOL that's exactly what I was thinking.
[Nexus One General] P2010:

Hello...

after registering as a developer .... is it through the same link that i can order my Nexus one ?

Can you please let me know when the phone is available on their website?

Thank you

[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
Thanks and please post back when available
[Nexus One General] melmotion:
N1 is worth the money and wait. I looked into the developer registration but then I remembered that LCD screens will be used on N1's and Desire because there is a shortage of AMOLED screens. The dev version to be available soon might have the LCD's.

I was short of $60.00 when N1 sales were discontinued. I'm in college and been saving since November last year. I bought a used N1 on ebay couple days ago and waiting for it to arrive soon. Well....I'm just as excited as a little girl waiting to meet Justin Beiber :)
[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
Ok is there any way to differenciate the desire with amoled and slcd ,like different serial nos,changed model no. etc?
[Nexus One General] iifuzz:
ill sell my nexus for $550

>.>
[Nexus One General] melmotion:
We can compare the two once the LCD version is available for sale.....I guess. There has to be a slight change in pattern of serial numbers.
[Nexus One General] Ryjabo:
I wouldn't pay $600-650 for a Nexus One... not now, anyway. I love mine, and it's going to take a pretty incredible phone for me to want to upgrade (dual core and/or 2ghz+ with 4"+ AMOLED or better screen and full qwerty slide-out, etc) but there are so many badass phone out right now, it'd be hard to pay that much for a Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] peliROJO:
That's about the most ignorant thing on this post, except for the people suggesting he pay $600+ for the Nexus One. Each time it was covered under warranty because the device was broken. It's not user error. :)
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
Just saw that the N1 is now for sale for all the developers. http://goo.gl/O2eU I looked and it is up for purchase right now. Still $529
[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
So is it the same retail version or different?
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
From the product page it looks like the same as the retail version. The one thing I can't see though is what network it is for. I'm assuming for T-Mobile (the site says for "850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz" bands) but not sure. It also says it has an AMOLED screen so I can't see any differences.

EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the page that lists all the info - http://imgur.com/PuT2C.png
[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
Thanks mate.

edit: the bootloader is locked and no root access!! i thought they ll be enabled on a developer phone...Can anyone tell me what TMUS radio is?? newbie here
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
All the N1's they sold come with the bootloader locked, but it is a simple process to unlock the bootloader. No idea what the TMUS radio is though...
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
TMUS - TMobile US
[Nexus One General] SphericalPuma:
I doubt that's what it stands for, seeing as how it's put under the software section of the feature list. We'll have to wait for someone to buy one and review it to see if there are any software differences and what exactly the TMUS radio is..
[Nexus One General] G0belet:
That's the real concern imho. If they disabled fastboot, how are you supposed to flash stuff around? More importantly, how can you even unlock, since it uses oem commands in fastboot?
[Nexus One General] kos888:
Looks like in terms of 3G it uses the AWS frequencies, so it's for T-Mo and Wind Mobile only (which totally sucks)
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
It's also way to expensive if you buy it i.e. from germany.

Overall like 590 Euros!

Well as long as it's an AMOLED version it's not interesting for me anyway as i already have an N1 AMOLED.

I want one with SLCD!!
[Nexus One General] tejajuloori:
Thats another point to consider,after I startd this thread I got in touch with htc customer care and they told me the desire will release within 2 weeks here in India (hopefully with slcd)...will check out slcd as visibilty in sunlight is must for my use..but I ll miss good color contrast...

So back to dilemma
[Nexus One General] P2010:
did they stop selling the AT&T/ Rogers version

I was looking to get Rogers/Fido version, is it available for developers?

I can see from your replies that it is only available for T-Mobile AWS version...

Please let me know...

thank you

Does anyone know how much the shipping costs are? I am in Canada and was wondering if the shipping is more expensive than it was before or if everything is the same.

I wonder if they will sell the accessories to devs also.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] trickysaer:
My screen died on me last night. I was just about to send it in for repair. The problem is im not using the orginal rom and i need to flash it first. Only thing is, i cant get it to Active Sync mode! The screen barly responds with the pin when use it to drag up and down.

¨

But of course when the pop-up asking me to use disk drive or active synd pops up it doesnt work at all. For some stupid reason even the wheel wont respond in that menu. Is there anyone who knows how to manage to get the phone in to active sync mode? Really need som help here :/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
You could try to flash through bootloader,switch on your phone,press soft reset and volume down

then start flashing like usual
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] trickysaer:
Well, the problem is the original rom is in a installer so i cant access the files and place them on the phone. Anyone knows of a software that extracts the files from the installer?

EDIT: Nevermind, just realized i can use winrar for that. Now on to the next quiestion, there is one .nbh-file but it wasnt called DAIMIMG.nbh but it shouldnt matter if i rename the file? The question though is how do i get access to the internal storage when the phone isnt in activesync? It seems i only can access the other larger storage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
As i said before you can flash without using active sync through bootloader launching the RUU (the installer)

Or you can rename the file to diamimg.nbh paste it in the larger memory and press soft-reset + volume down + back and after some second you should press power button
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] trickysaer:
nope, doesnt work. as i know the daiming.nbh HAS to be in the root of the internal storage. i dont have any micro sd memory or reader as well :/

its seems my only option is to find someone that does have a micro sd reader to go that way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
The problem is that the diamond can't read sd card or micro sd.

But if you open the phone and you connect it to usb it should be mounted as Mass Storage and you could put the diamimg.nbh
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] trickysaer:
Cant read? But iv'e seen plenty much threads about using micro sd cards to boot from. And no, it doesnt. Even you keep the usb cable plugged in when booting it doesnt try to load anything from the larger part. I guess you never tried yourself?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] trickysaer:
can anyone else confirm this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tschmidt84:
So, I've done quite some looking around in this forum and others but have not been able to to find an answer...

Here's the issue: when leaving an area with wifi connection, my galaxy s refuses to connect via 3G. Sometimes the "H"/"3G" is shown but no data is being transfered, sometimes the "H"/"3G" doesn't even show up. I've tried switching to plane mode and back, but that only helps sometimes. Switching to 2G and back doesn't help either, neither does re-selecting my provider from the provider list in the wireless settings or turning wifi on and off.

I'm on JF3 still. And here's the question: Is this an Eclair bug or firmware related? And is there a workaround, besides switching to plane mode and back every time I leave the house?

Your help is appreciated!

I have similar issue too. I hated it.

It appears to be an Android problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] loveorhatred:
I have this problem too, running an optus one.

I think sometimes.. going into the APn seetings, clicking on the field, dont change anything and press okay.. so it refreshes the APN settings and it works?

Or I rescan for networks. and choose my optus provider again.

Such a fluke.. that first few days i got this phone didnt have this problem.. and now it does... hope it gets fixed soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tschmidt84:
Okay, thanks. :D will try my luck with the android developers...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tschmidt84:
I checked out the link to google code and there seems to be a solution: restoring the default apn settings (hit the menu button when in the apn list). Seems to work, at least for now, my 3G connection came on when I left wifi after being on wifi for a few hours.

The first time I flashed to clean ex I thought it was only tmous that need to change radio versions.

My HD2 wouldnt boot either, flashed an updated radio 2.11.50.20 and its been fine since.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadzy:
Just like matt538 said, it is an incompatible radio. Also, if you have problems, it would be better to post in the rom thread. It would have been more seen to and dealt with quicker.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dvigue:
which is better? using NRGY's latest that puts some of the files in the ROM, or installing a barebones winmo, and putting all android files on the SD card?

which is better for battery life and speed?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gsm-decode:
It's same , SD Card will be allways running.

But other things drain battery more than card .

[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
A mod that you apply to a flashed rom then the boot animation runs from /data/local and can be replaced manually or using boot animation changer.

Flash after any Sense rom that normally has bootanimation in /system/customize/resource

It will delete the 2 files in /system/customize/resource

Flash my own custom bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /data/local/ (Only to make sure it works)

create the required symlinks that survive reboot's.

You can then just replace the files in /data/local/ as needed.

Thanks to lambrospower for the idea

[edit]

BootAnim_Restore added, restores the default htc bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /system/customize/resource
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
i am greatly thank you for all the support you gave me...very nice MOD although i integrated it into my rom...very good for all the others that do not bake their roms!!!!

there is a slight renaming typo....bootA[m]i[N]_to_Data
[Desire Android Development] Shetlander:
This works on Official froyo/sense ROM but I have one question. How can I edit the path in the ZIP file to \data\local\ when I change the boot animation in your ZIP file. The reason is because I have tried various bootanimation.zip file but none seem to change from yours and boot animation lite doesnt have the one I want.
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
It's already /data/local,

Just use ADB or a file manager and replace the one this zip install's in /data/local/
[Desire Android Development] Shetlander:
I know the file path is already there but when I replace the bootanimation it also deletes the path. It doesnt keep it.

I am looking to avoid ADB as I dont understand it and when I view the SD card I can see a folder called data but there is no local folder.
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
These do not go on the SDcard, but on internal memory.

You can replace the zip file inside the zip I attached then flash it turning signature check off.
[Desire Android Development] Shetlander:
Will disabling signature check put the bootanimation.zip in the correct place?

As I said, i tried simply changing the bootanimation.zip in the archive but when I do that it deletes the path that the file has to go to ie, \data\local\.
[Desire Android Development] GANJDROID:
Thank you so much for this!

I can finally have a good bootanim. :D
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
try after updating the zip not to change its mode....keep it to store...do not use any compression...it might be this the problem
[Desire Android Development] Shetlander:
Finally sussed out how to replace the bootanimation.zip file and retain the correct path. All good now.

Thanks Klutsh for a usefull little tool.
[Desire Android Development] akn78:
Brilliant!

Thnx!
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
BootAnim_Restore added to the first post, restores the default htc bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /system/customize/resource
[Desire Android Development] Genetical:
How did you end up managing to do it as I too can't find a local folder in my data folder...

when i ran the bootamin_to_data zip my phone changed boot animation to a gentleman with text saying DeLite (or similar) but still I couldn't find a local folder in my data folder, nor could i find wher this delite image was stored, so i ran the restore.zip and am now back to where I started...
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
After the change files are stored in /data/local/
[Desire Android Development] jondalar:
Now this is brilliant!! :eek:

Ever since the Froyo came out for the desire it's been very hard to put custom bootanimations to the desire. NOT ANYMORE!!!!:D:D

Thanx a bunch mate!
[Desire Android Development] Chronic404:
ok, can someone tell me where to push the Bootanimation files to?

Presumably if they're on the phone i cannot navigate to the file using a pc & USB?

Should i use ADB in which case, can you tell me the script for the ADB command

Or should i transfer to the SD and use rootexplorer / astro to move it to the data/local file?

:confused:

OK Sorted it, i just put bootanimation.zip in Android/tools, then use ADB command

C:\androidSDK\tools>adb push bootanimatino.zip data/local
