[HD2 General] kabuk1:
A few days ago I noticed that I cannot install or delete anything from the internal memory on my phone. I CAN uninstall programs with SKTools though, so it's probably just a software issue but I have never had this happen before so I have no idea what steps to take. However, I'm trying to save myself a hard reset so I'm gonna ask here if anyone has had this problem & successfully fixed it. I have SO many tweaks, please tell me this is fixable without a hard reset :(

EDIT: Ok I figured it out but now I have a new issue- somehow the memory card encryption was enabled but the checkbox to decrypt it is now greyed out. How the heck do I fix this?

Hi guys, Am currently using the artemis rom but i would like to change the windows default button skin to a simple black box type, similler to the ones featured in the energy roms.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

The menu Buttons are 2 PNG files! When you have the one you want to shown on Display rename them to HTCdefault_toolbarIconBubbleButton and HTCdefault_toolbarTextBubbleButton and copy them to the Windows folder.

Should that not work try to name them as follow.

default_toolbarIconBubbleButton

default_toolbarTextBubbleButton

I've noticed this new "exploid" root method can be applied to Droid X, Devour, Nexus One and others. My friend has a Rogers Dream that has had the forced Rogers 911 software update applied which apparently makes it very hard to root. Can the "exploid" method be adapted to his phone too?

Hi there

I've noticed in a few of the other forums (while looking for a desire owning friend) that there are a few desire froyo sense roms popping up

I was just wandering if this meant that at some point we would see similar developments on the ol' hero?

yeahhh it would be nice to have :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberWalrus:
Porting from desire would be horrible, due to very different hardware, different screen size and different screen ratio.

Very doubtful that a desire port will ever happen. There's really no point as the legend (which is far easier to port from) will get an update to 2.2, and thats a much better bet.

Patience! the devs at the moment are just trying to get a perfect AOSP 2.2 rom first!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sow:
yeah it's look like a very good rom, if it's possible to port it on a htc hero, i take it
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:

And awesome, I will await the day! I am sadly one of those that has got too used to sense!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I "gave up" sense full time not that long ago really, and now I don't think I will ever want to go back. As soon as you think it through and make a list of what you actually like about sense, you can soon realise that better things can happen without it.

widgets are easily replaceable or forgotten, UI in some launchers are much much better than sense, better settings and better roms :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2500726:

im using vanilla or froyo depending on mood and what day!

I have used froyo w/sense on my mates desire and i cant wait for it to be on the hero (probably have a better phone by then but nevermind) all the things that put me of sense 2.1 arent there in sense 2.2.... No lag going from screen to screen! stupidly fast (he gets 38-42 on linpack) and hd recording (only on snapdragon i know) if you know someone with a desire cionvince them to root it and put 2.2 on im sure you vanilla fans will love it!!

Alright.. theres three, no four options to back up contacts..

- exporting to sd card PCSC vcf

- exporting to sd card GOOGLE vcf

- using a third party app to back up

now... google sync seems to be hit or miss with me and never has fully synced or replaced all my contacts appropriately.

exporting to pcsc vcf only exports SOME contacts

exporting to google vcf, once again, only exports certain ones too

and i dont see a point in using a 3rd party app.

can someone explain to me WTF is going on?

i have to backup both google vcf AND pcsc vcf, and import both to get my full contact list... what.theee..heck.

Is there a way to have this ported to the Hero? These are the best icons I have seen in Android so far (imho)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bycoo222:
Mayb with some resizing the icons can b used in one of the roms 4 the hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] derekwilkinson:
Well afaik the icons are changed by changing the apk and resigning. I don't know how to change the icons in the apk or resign, so I don't know how to do this... if someone were to do this, they could just make it a flashable zip to change the icons on almost any ROM (with the apps)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] reedsw:
could ask him. Konib used to dev for the Hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daPorkchop:
It would look better and take way less time if you either asked konib to do it or asked to have his originals so you could port it. Resizing indexed .pngs from higher resolution to lower resolution makes them look like crap. (not all but a lot of them)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
That's not even close to being true. Most of the icons in my roms r from hi Res roms that I port down to our phones. They look great. Ill port these later when I get home if the op wants to pm me the link
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daPorkchop:
How can you say its not even close to being true when Im sitting here staring at a GPS icon I took from the Droid X resized it to 25x25 and there are a few pixels that are out of place? Unless I'm doing it wrong... even then its still close to being right. And how can porting a theme from a higher res theme not be time consuming?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
You're right. Theres no argument about the the depreciation of images when resizing. They get compressed. Its not a matter of opinion, or conjecture, its fact. If you are able to refute this, let me know. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] nfinitefx45:
Well to correct everyone,resizing will remove some of the clarity of the image. Scaling the image down will preserve the clarity to do this we start with a 38x38 image create a new blank 25x25 and paste the image in, then use transform to shrink the image down. This actually scales the full image to size. That is for photoshop . Fireworks also can accomplish this very well . This is just my experience after 7 years of PhotoShop
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
Thanks man
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daPorkchop:
Well ill give that a shot.... but that will take forever for 150 imgs :-(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
I have most of the icons resized. I can't finish until later today. I just have a couple to finish and put them into the apk's and make a flashable zip or I can create a metamorph file.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] skndeep102:
Metamorph please I have better luck with them not messing with any of my other mods.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
I did what I could for now. I will make both a flashable zip and a metamorph theme. I haven't made a metamorph theme since they changed the program, but I should have something up either tonight or in the morning. And I am putting the icons in both the HTC apps(HTC dialer, mail, messaging) as well as the AOSP apps, because I am not sure who uses what.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
Great job man. I was gonna port it tonight but I've done and saved me a ton of time I can use on other projects. Great job
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] derekwilkinson:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlitozway57:
Like the title says, I flashed RC2 (coming from RC1 so no wipe). Got a force close so I fixed permissions in ROM manager but the phone stopped responding after 5-10 minutes. Gave it another 5 minutes before I rebooted (using home + menu + hang up) and the phone freezes now on the first splash screen. Can't boot into recovery either. I can make it to the bootloader and tried restoring a nandroid back up but it always freezes midway (left it for a full hour and it was still frozen).

What else can I do in fastboot that may help? Any other options? Thanks.

EDIT

Cyanogen wrote on twitter that it might've been my SD card crapping out on me, so I replaced the SD card and reflashed recovery in fastboot and everything is working. However, I tried the same thing with the "bad" SD card (reflashed recovery) and it now works as well. I didn't realize it at the time but I think the actual culprit was when I updated Clockwork Recovery through ROM manager. Did it before fixing permissions and I'm guessing something went wrong when I updated and it was only after something also went wrong when fixing permissions that the problem surfaced.

[Desire General] Peelypeel:
I just saw a post on Lifehacker, using unrevoked3 to root my desire (id give a link but im new and apparently not allowed), and this seamed like a nice simple process, so i thought id give it a go. but before i do, i just have a few question that id really love a detailed answer or two to, if you would be so kind.

1. Am i going to brick my phone and cry because i bought it unlocked and cant get it replaced because im a poor student?

2. What the hell is this Radio business?

3. Can i put it back to normal so i can get back to OTA updates from HTC when they finally come to there Senses with FroYo (get it:) )

4. Am I going to lose all my stuff because i cant back it up before i root.

Thats basically it, if you can answer that, id be incredibility incredibility grateful.
[Desire General] cez10:
1. if u follow the steps exactly as explained, and never touch the phone when it is installing flashing formatting etc etc then u get 99.9% u wont brick it :)

dont worry im also a student and i bet theres more of us here

2. hmm not sure how to explain what a radio is

3. yes u can, but dont see a reason why, cuz devs update roms quicker and add more functions to them

4. if you just root then no you wont loose your stuff, if you want to install a custom rom then yes you will loose it but you can always back it up using free rommanager back up :)
[Desire General] Afro Az:
This is the main reason why I haven't rooted my Desire yet, despite 1 or 2 friends urging me to. They have Heros. I haven't got the money to replace it and seen as it's on contract I'd be pretty screwed for the next 13 months or something.
[Desire General] SousukeUK:
Don't worry

Understandable.

I was thinking the same.

It was when I run out of space to install apps and gmail stop working bcoz of low memory space warning.

I decided to take the plunge.

Used unrevoked to root my desire and installing my second rom today lol.

Oh and the radio is the file that contains radio setup for froyo roms.

the one you need for froyo rom is version 5.xx. eg. 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.

so if you are going to install froyo based roms then you need the radio file update or all hell breaks loose.

you can update the radio then install the rom or the other way around up to you.

have fun and ask if you need help.
[Desire General] crozuk:
Was in a similar situation and finally took the plunge today.

Was 10x easier than I thought it would be. Follow the guides and you can't go wrong.
[Desire General] zaphyr:
Radio is the part that handles WiFi, gps, 3G and all that stuff. E.g. you have low WiFi signal, you can update the radio to fix it.
[Desire General] Peelypeel:
Ok guys thanks for all the replies, I'm.defiantly doing it now, my phone alarm has failed to go off too many times now (hey any excuse to convince myself to do it lol) and I want to see if a new ROM will fix it.

Shall I go for OpenDesire or CyanogenMod? I want froyo, and I want it stable (preferably I would still love sense if that's possible).

Also on a side note, I don't want to appear idiotic, I know what a radio is, I just wasn't sure what everyone meant by "update" it, and why you have to do of separately to flashing the ROM.
[Desire General] kien:
The ROM's here don't include the radio hence why you need to update the radio seprately, most, if not all, the froyo ROM's will need the latest radio.
[Desire General] jacketyjoe:
Bugs are to be expected but many fixes are to be expected too ;)

opendesire from what i've heard but they lack sense i think, i wanted sense so i chose neophytes rom (it does slow down when i DL stuff from the market sometimes though, i should report it to him)

You flash a radio like a rom, just use unrevoked to do it ;)

BTW use unrevoked with the rooting, easiest thing ever :)
[Desire General] Peelypeel:
Is this Neophyte?

showthread.php?t=732246 (i cant post links yet, im sure you can work that out though)

and how do i flash the radio with unrevoked3, where do i even get the radio... file?

Sorry about the questions, normally id just go barrelling into to something like this and work it out as i went, but this is serious stuff this time. I want to be sure.

Thanks again
[Desire General] Peelypeel:
**** i pressed "SIMLOCK" in the hboot thing, wtf have i done. it said it did something.
[Desire General] jacketyjoe:
i think it means you just locked your phone to the simcard that was in your phone at the time. Rooting it should unlock it again though ;)

BTW here is an unrevoked guide, neophytes ROM and the radio (use the latest, not the leaked one), follow all the instructions to the letter and you should be fine (follow unrevoked's rom flashing instructions for the radio though, thats how i did it and gawd was it easy)
[Desire General] Peelypeel:
Thank you very very much. With those guides in hand I'm about to do it. See you on the other side ha ha
[Desire General] jacketyjoe:
I'd tried the other way first and my phone wouldn't root (i was really really frightened when a HTC logo came up and stayed on for a whole 24hrs) so i tried unrevoked and it worked like a charm :)

Lets hope everything goes a bit smoother for you than me ;)
[Desire General] Peelypeel:
That really was one of the easiest things i've ever done. Thank you so much for all your help, and the ROM suggestion, loving the new sense.
[Desire General] jacketyjoe:
no trouble then, nice to hear :)

Have fun, i love it :D
[Desire General] Maix27:
Sorry to ask a stupid question, can i root my desire, keep my current OS as it is and still get the OTA update to 2.2 as it would if my phone wasn't rooted?
[Desire General] SteveEdson:
I would try the modaco custom rom, search for it. Its based on the latest leaked rom from HTC so its stable, its froyo, it has sense as well as the new 2.2 features like tethering, new widgets, 720p video etc etc

i rooted my phone at the weekend and im loving it!
[Desire General] 325i.:
Agree, also have the modaco ROM. Best thing is that you bake your own rom and only put items that you really need.
[Desire General] bigdan35:
Well mate.. I was pretty much in the same boat as you.. Student, wanting to root my phone, didn't know what all the stuff was.. And I'll try and rectify it for you as much as possible, following your points :).

1. If you follow the guides which have been put up by unrevoked, or the guide on this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189 or our lovely friends over at android.modaco http://android.modaco.com/content/h...e-now-with-hboot-0-80-and-os-to-1-21-support/ then you shouldn't have a problem at all. I was feeling the same way, was confused and really didn't want to risk the rooting process.

2. The Radio.. It's not like a Radio which we use to tune in to FM and AM, think of it as something to help other processes work in the phone. Be it Wifi, 3G, HSDPA, GSM.. All these get updated with the new ROM's (Froyo) and they need the Radio to make them run smoother, and better. Think of a Radio as a driver when you're updating something on a computer. But

BE CAREFUL

when flashing the Radio,

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT

touch the phone until it has completely finished booting (2 or 3 times, you'll know when it's finished).

3. You can put it back to normal any time, just by flashing an older ROM on to it, just have a look at some of the official RUU's on this forum.

4. The sort of stuff which you're worried about are photos, text messages and apps? Best way for this is to invest in MyBackupPro, where you can back up all of your texts online etc. For apps and all, why not download ASTRO from the Market? It can back up all your apps and install them again no problems.

I hope this helps :)
