their gonna need something because by january the evo won't count as it will be as outdated as the hero. im not counting any wp7 garbage either because i talked to sprint and they aren't even sure if they will carry those phones. winmo is not a hot seller for them, android is.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
i wish these companies would allow the buyer to choose what service they want their phones on. i hope one day that will happen. example: id love to get the droid2 on sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] c00ller:
Have you tried it out in a store? It's definitely different from Samsung's past attempts, in a good way. The Cortex processor is ridiculously fast, resulting in the smoothest Android experience I've seen to date.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
The software is horrible, but the hardware is pretty good. The iPhone is popular because it's easy to learn and has more apps than any other OS. Oh, and guess what's in the iPhone. A Samsung processor.

No matter what Apple comes out with I will never get another one of their products. The thing that really sets Android from iOS and the iPhone is there is only 1 phone with iOS and there have been over 40 released android phones with atleast 12 more confirmed to be released and over 10 rumored phones.

I still believe that Android will out sale iPhone no matter where it goes.
[Hero CDMA General] Visionikz03:
Apple provides no freedom to its subscribers other than the reveled "App Store" that's about as varietal as it gets for them. No alternate phones to use, no alternate homescreen, GUI (unless jailbroken i suppose) just the same tried nd true iphone with a faeclift and some hardware changes from time to time some for the better, some for the worse lol. I love their PC's nd laptops but i will NEVER own an iphone.
[Hero CDMA General] nutswillkillme:
If anyone here really has that big of a boner for the Iphone4 I'd be really suprised. It's not a bad phone but I just hate apple, and it doesn't do anything that the EVO or any other phone coming out can't do. I'd take an EVO over that any day. I'm android from here on out.
[Hero CDMA General] Visionikz03:

[Hero CDMA General] Nannuq:
Its still the same iPhone4 just a new radio. As the Android Phones continue to evolve it will still be what is out right now.
[Hero CDMA General] nutswillkillme:
I work with a bunch of people who all have Iphone's and talk amongst each other and it kills me, I think it's safe to say I'm an android snob. One could say that I think I'm better for owning an android phone and having it rooted. I might argue at first, but honestly I can't help it. Apple to me is like owning a prius, and Android is like owning ****ing Optimus Prime.
[Hero CDMA General] MrDowntown12:
Haha optimus prime. I actually have him as my lockscreen just cause i feel that exact same way. I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up in the middle of the night to find my phone in the backyard having a meeting with all the other local android phones on how they are gonna get rid of the iphones.

But seriously, I too feel the same way, I'm a college student and everyone rich kid and their parents have an iphone and think that they are so cool. All i can think when i see them, is my phone is better than yours. And i have a hero! a phone that in the rapid pace phone world, is obsolete.

And yet, i agree with this. While i would never own an iphone willingly, i do have a macbook and i couldn't be happier with it. I can do anything i want on it and it never fails me. No crashes, no freezing, no viruses. Nothing. Its solid.

But at the same time, i don't carry it around with me everywhere so everyone can see my macbook. I don't go sit in coffee shops just to surf the internet. I chose a macbook not cause it's the cool thing to have, but because I believed it was the best choice i could make. So I'm not an apple hater, I just think that if I'm spending a considerable amount of money on a tech device, it better work to its complete and full potential.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
i used to hate android when it first came out, that's when winmo was the hot seller back in 2007-2008. yes it is the most popular os out there "right now" but im sure something will trump android in the near future. what im waiting to see is the next webos device.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
If the iPhone was available for Sprint.... I would buy it. The only reason I didn't get one in the first place is because AT&T makes you pay out the ass every month. The iPhone 4 is the best phone on the market right now. The only downside to iPhone is that you can't customize it as well as Android, but... you can put Android on the iPhone! Again, the iPhone is the best phone you can buy right now.
[Hero CDMA General] nutswillkillme:
The way it looks now, HTC, Motorola, and maybe even Samsung and LG are going to all be putting out phones that will be directly competing with not only the iPhone, but each other also. That's cool that Apple busts out hardware that puts all these companies in there place for a minute, but on the software sides of things, I'll take Android any day. The nonstop onslaught of Android phones coming out makes me think the Iphone4 won't be on top hardware wise for very long. They seem to be up against almost every phone manufacturer now.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
i wouldn't buy one but id take one for free. verizon is pretty expensive too when it comes to it's plans.

Didn't think I've EVER see anyone say this on xda forums. But to each his own.

[Hero CDMA General] joehunni:
My friend went to an at&t store yesterday to upgrade from a piece of **** old Samsung slider. He knows that I have a hero and that I love it yet made the mistake of taking me with him. He was set on getting an iphone 4, I said "you're already holding it wrong" and explained its issues. He then wanted the 3gs and I said "no that's gay", after I showed him the Aria and compared it to my phone to show him a comparison and what all could be done with it, he agreed.
[Hero CDMA General] krazinise:
i used to work at sprint last year in the call center for the enterprise accounts, and they had windows reps come to our break rooms and specfically said that sprint will definately be selling WP7 devices, so i can go ahead and discredit that theory! :)
[Hero CDMA General] notown775:
I fail to see how its the best phone you can buy..... really... enlighten me...

[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
It's got the best specs out of any phone on the market right now (apple A4, best video camera, facetime, the list goes on) and not to mention the thing is damn pretty. I went to the apple store and looked at it a week ago and the retina display is damned impressive. I mean, it seems like a cheesy thing to say, but that screen is really awesome. Also, it's got way more apps than Android. Granted, most of them are bull**** that do the same as the next bull**** app, but there are some really impressive apps on iOS. And that's my rant on why the iPhone is awesome.
[Hero CDMA General] notown775:
although I don't agree with what you say I will defend your right to say it... lol. no I personally think its nothing spectacular .. my sisters gf has one so I get alot of hands on with it.. its slightly faster than the 3gs.. and the retinal display looks good bit not great. its a good simple phone for most users ..

[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Off topic: your sisters gf?
[Hero CDMA General] hexskrew:
I hate to say it but I think at the end of the day it's whatever the customer wants. I know a handful of people who got the Hero (including me, but I f(#king LOVE IT!) and a lot of that share of people hate it.

Why do they hate it? Do they like customizing their home screen, enjoying the freedom of open source apps, development, exciting new upgrades to the O.S. with REAL restructuring for the good of all?(rooted or not)...

NOPE!!! They hate it. They wanted the phone to: Take calls, text, and surf the web. Funny enough ALL these people want an iphone, but you have to ask the question of WTF do these people want the iphone for if they don't want the Android?! Simple. It's 'in style'.

Most consumers don't even WANT to know crap about customizing anything, they just want it to look cool. This is what the iphone has always done. This is what Blackberry has ran by (albeit with a lot more corporate support than others) for years.

Remember when Palm was flagshipping? I mean it was THE smart phone when there were no other smart phones even on the market. How many people went out and bought one? Not many. Why? Cause it was 'advanced'. This is what makes android lovers android lovers, and apple lovers apple lovers.

I could even go so far as to say it's the same as the linux/windows/mac debate and I will give my conclusion every time.

Linux: Free, easy to install, pain to administer, and a lot of apps and customization are more for the willing to learn/advanced crowd.

Windows: it came with the pc and it's what people know. It may not be the easiest of O.S's out there, but it's got the most support.

Mac: Proprietary, basic, simple, does a few things wonderfully at a premium cost of minimalistic but simple interfaces and software architectures.

Android like Linux is for advanced users. It's for thinkers, developers, idea driven people.

IOS like OSX is for simple minded people that wants to easily get stuff done (or watch youtube)

And Winmo.... hmm.. Dunno never used it. The only dealings I ever had, I thought it was a real f*!ng pain to even find someone to dial their number..... And while it's a familiar interface, it does not exactly have the whole thinker, dev, idea driven characteristics as Android because Android has a nice smooth and crafted interface whereas winmo is clunky but functional.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
i know a sprint corporate guy and he told me that sprint does not plan on carrying wp7 at all. android is their top seller atm. wp7 has fail written all over it. if we can get some development on the samsung epic, i may get this phone in a month or two. just as long as i can get rid of that god awful touchwiz ****.
[Hero CDMA General] Devilman539:
Iphone is not the best phone out right now. It may be the best iphone out but the antenna design flaw completely screwed that one up. First the display..its nice and much better then the last gen iphones but no where near as good as amoled displays. Second, the camera..5mp is not that great and the front facing camera is 1.3mp. there are phones over a year old that have better cameras and quite a few android phones are rockin 8mp sensors. 3G? have you heard of 4G? I know its not available everywhere but if were gonna use it as a reason why the iphone is superior it migh as well be mentioned. Dont get me started on how dated the overall design is lol! They've been running the same boring uncustomizable os for years now and the trend continues. Anything an iphone can do adroid devices do better..web? flash 10.1, movies? hd on a big amoled display. music? all cellphones can do that...not even worth the mention. Social networking? Corporate email? done and done. I can go on for days lol! The only thing apple succeeded with was tricking dumb people into thinking it was a quality with a pretty design. "You can polish a turd all you want but its still a turd."

I don't even get why theres a thread about iphones here...isnt this a forum for HTC HERO hacks and dev??
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
this is the general section, that's why. also im not an iphone fan BUT i think if this happens it will hurt sprint unless they have some decent phones coming in late 2010 and early 2011. the evo will be outdated by x-mas and the epic...well it's a samsung, need i say more?
[Hero CDMA General] Devilman539:
Yes its a genera hero cdma forum meaning non specific but pertaining to hero cdma...nice try. Secondly. Nobody accused you of being anything but judging from your posts its doesn't seem too farfetched :) Third. To address your last albeit errenous point..by that time this new version of the iPhone will be more dated than it already is and sprint will have come out with many new devices...technology doesn't sit still. Like someone said earlier " even though I don't agree with your opinion, you are entitled to it." As wrong as it may be. :-)
[Hero CDMA General] OtisFeelgood:
The best specs out of any phone on the market?? What the f*ck are you snorting/smoking??

Lol I've always had HTC phones and its gunna stay that way they are the original and most advanced then all these other droids and if not just wait for the sabor ;)
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
me an apple fanboy? naw..i mean it is a fast device but i cannot stand the UI and i hate apple and their products. BUT i do think this could hurt sprint sales as alot of people still really digg apple and will spend a **** ton of money on them.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
same here, ive always bought htc.
[Hero CDMA General] Devilman539:
Yea I was reading up on the specs shortly after u posted that and that would be quite a powerhouse of a phone. I keep hearing Samsung phones suck but so far every review I watched was positive and customer feed back was positive other than the 3g bug in the software. I demoed the tmobile galaxy s version (tmobile sux btw) they carry and I must say its pretty sweet and the video quality was amazing not to metion games run really great on it. Maybe its older versions I'm hearing about?

being rooted makes it easier to install, but you dont HAVE to be rooted to do it. You'll need to push it to your phone through adb, there are tons of guides on the net on how to do it.

How do you install this?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] abhilashkumar:
Does this need to be installed through recovery? I tried it once but got no feedback and the screen just went back to install from zip.

Also, is this the red Droid animation or the green one?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] phrozen87:
I downloaded it real quick to check and it install an update.zip. You will need to push it through ADB or copy it to the media folder and replace the current bootanimation.zip using an app like root explorer (remember to set the 644 permissions!). Also its the red eye.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] csbert:
I install a lot of application so I constantly run out of space on NAND. So I tried to install Myn's Warm Donut using the following method so the system stuffs will be on NAND and the data will be on the sdcard. It is slower but I can install lots of applications now.

Requirement:

-You have to have Myn's Warm Donut or other android rom installed already on NAND. This means that both the system and the data is on NAND.

-A USB reader for your micro sdcard

Overview:

The main steps are 1) install adb 2) partition your sdcard into three partitions 3) reinstall the rom.

Steps:

1- Install the Android SDK here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. This will give you the adb tool which is a remote terminal program. You will have to locate the adb binary to run it.

2a- Connect you vogue to the desktop. Make sure that USB debug is enable on the vogue. It should be by default.

2b- Run the adb:

adb shell

2c- Repartition the sdcard using parted. You need some experience with parted which is very popular in linux. Remember, this step will destroy the data on the sdcard.

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print

At this point you should see the list of all partitions on the sdcard. For most of you, there will be one partition. Remove all the partition using the rm command with the partition number.

rm 1

Now your print should return empty. So create three partitions using the following commands. Basically, you want three partitions. The first one is your sdcard folder which you always had. The third one is for your data. The second one is just filler because the current installer only install to the third partition.

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 6500
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 6500 6756
mkpartfs primary ext2 6756 8168
set 1 lba

Note that the size is depended on you. I want around 6.5GB on my 8GB card to be the sdcard partition for musics and videos. So what's left is around 1.5GB for the data partition. I just give the filler 256MB so maybe I can do something with it later. The partition number might be different with other rom. You have to play with it.

After this step you should see something like this when you do print:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 6500MB 6500MB primary fat32 lba
2 6500MB 6756MB 256MB primary linux-swap(v1)
3 6756MB 8168MB 1412MB primary ext2

Now you can quit parted and exit the console by:

quit
exit

3a-Turn off your phone and put the sdcard into a USB reader so you can copy the andboot installation files over.

3b-Put the card back, run the installer and choose the data on sdcard option. You should be good to go.

As you usual, you are solely responsible for your phone and your data.

Hope this helps.

I have another solution in the works that will solve the out-of-space on data very easily on ANY build and also have some other nice advantages: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750768
[Touch CDMA Android Development] csbert:
So you put the apps on to ext2 partion and the data stay in NAND? In that case it would be better. The problem for the vogue is that the installer on the Myn's rom only put everything on the data partition on to an ext2 partition. On the vogue other rom is slow IMO. Maybe someone can separate the data and apps in the next build?

Anyway, do you know how can I extend the system partition so it can span to 256MB? Right now it is only 128MB because the data presumably should extend the other 128MB.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Cookiekaikai:
Hi csbert,

I am new to ADB. When I typed adb shell, I got device not found. Maybe I need a driver or something? thanks

update: I think I found the instruction on how to obtain the usb driver, going to try now
[Touch CDMA Android Development] csbert:
When you connect to vogue to your computer, it has to say "USB debugging connect". If it doesn't, maybe you need to enable USB debugging in Settings -> Application Settings -> Development.

partition program

i am looking for a good free partition program for windows xp that can partition my sd card from a card reader

i have used paragon partition but it always ask to restart the pc and then partitions the sd from there

i have had it causes my laptop to crash twice now and both time had to have a friend repair my laptop

i am looking for a program that can partition the sd with out restating the computer if that is possible

thank you

nate
[Touch CDMA Android Development] csbert:
Hi,

I don't think you can partition the sdcard for the phone using an xp computer. That's why I wrote this instruction. The partition android uses is from linux. You can try a linux machine but i heard that doesn't work. You can still connect to the phone using adb and format the sdcard as I explained.

Cheers

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htchtchd2:
I just purchased a 512Leo Hd2, unbranded SPL 1.42. Now this site has been an amazing resource. I have been thinking about flashing a new ROM but I'm not sure about it yet. To tell you the truth I don't really mind the stock HTC ROM. However, I'm dying to run Android 2.2, problem being is that my radio version is 2.06.51.07 now from what I understand that version won't allow me to run Android. And I've tried it, Linux starts to load and either it freezes or the screen slowly blacks out. I've tried the formatting and it doesn't work. So my ? is this. After running HSPL, also don't know which one to run 1,2 or 3?, will the stock ROM still be there? IN which case I can then go ahead ad flash a radio version that will allow me to run Android? Or do I have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and load that? Can I save the ROM version that is on my phone now then reload it? How do I do that? If someone c an fill these blanks in for me I'd appreciate it!

Cheers:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelok:
Correct.

Flashing HSPL will do absolutely nothing to your ROM. It simply unlocks the phones SPL and allows the flashing of non-branded or unofficial ROMs.

More about HSPL 1&2 and HSPL 3

Which one you need depends on your device. I think HSPL3 might work for all but to be honest I've never bothered to look at it since I have HSPL2 and it works for me.

Yes you can. One of THESE will do the trick.

Android works perfectly for me on my stock ROM with radio 2.12.50 For some people, the stock ROM does not work so the short answer is: "it depends". I say try a new radio ROM, leave the stock ROM alone and see if it works. If not, then look into flashing a custom ROM also. As for saving your current ROM, that's a bit more tricky, and more trouble than it's worth since you can find pretty much all the stock roms in the rom development threads such as THIS one.

If you have any other questions or need more clarification ask away (or PM me).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelok:

Hi!

I've been reading all your posts and i have a similar problem with my Leo.

I'm new at this so i am affraid to, like you said, have an "expensive paper weight".

I tried running the "FLASHAHOLIC RUU.." via USB but it keeps hanging while running task29. I then tried the official HTC web site but i doesnt work either.

I baght my device on amazon so it comes with WWE and o want to change it to Portuguese specially because of some keybord letters like "ç" for example.

Can you please give me a step by step guide so i can instal a new rom?

Thanks in advance.
