Use voice search, it works great for this. Except I had to go in and edit some numbers. I had some contacts with multiple mobile numbers. Instead of calling directly it comes up with a list of numbers and you have to chose which one. Still that narrows it down alot.

Thanks, that helped out. It doesn't work with music from the SD card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
LOL fixed, and thanks. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
already donated to team villain but just for this post alone i donated to your beer fund oh yeah and the roms ok it will do lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
yeah, ive wiped, flashed again and im restoring again, being careful, lets see how it turns out this time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asad510:
Hellllllllp

brilliant but i still cant mount my phone NO ICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP (IM ON WINDOWS 7)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Nope, nandroid was faster :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Received, very gratefully. Thank you ever so much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Harce, what would you suggest to use for OC'ing profiles, I use interactive mode 19-614 but battery life is very, very bad. Normal usage it won't even survive 6 hours without making a call it seems, much worse for me compared to 2.1 on normal clocks. Do you think the interactive clock changing ruins battery life? Maybe it's better to stick to fixed frequencies per mode (19mhz for screen off and 614 for normal usage, for example)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nah. Interactive should actually improve it. Most people get excellent battery on this ROM, often much better than 2.1.

I am sure hacre can suggest a few things, but make sure you turn off gps or wifi when not in use etc. Also remember to check you have your hero is capable of the speeds used.

I'm sure hacre will pop in and reply some time soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yasin12:
Thanks this rom works great! Super fast and super smooth. Using the simple matte theme from the villainrom forums, looks great

hi there

When I read this post I nearly spat out ny imaginary spare-parts of teeths - LOL

I like your style... Nice job

have a question though:

"Oh in case I didn't mention, it's still fast, now with added fastness for people who like to store Earth on their phones." - does google Earth work on Hero with this ROM ??

I've tried with other releases of Froyo, but without luck...

sincirely

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Google earth won't work on the hero AFAIK unless we can get the binaries compiled against the correct processor architecture. I believe Hacre was referring to the joke regarding dkelley and his huge number of apps, likened to the earth in sheer number, but also likened to being a mirror copy of the market in his pocket.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
am I the only one who can not use GPS and mobile internet at the same time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daveshouse:
Any idea what you might have changed to get exchange sync working?

I have tried everything I can think of - wiping everything, formatting the SD card, but I always get a force close when setting up the exchange settings after flashing a 1.2.0 or above ROM. This worked perfectly with the previous 2.2 versions and I can still flash back to one of these and it is OK. I have spent all day trying various things and am at a loss!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] one_tjc:
my exchange seems to be working fine - but every hour or so it comes up with a notification that the security settings need to be updated, and when you click on this nothing happens.

also i wasn't able to get a GPS lock on this ROM (tried it - not working, so rebooted with GPS on and tried again - still no lock).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
can you use GPS and mobile internet at the same time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
I tested GPS before releasing and I promise I got a lock. Just tried again now.

Last night Google maps did decide to take forever trying to get a fix, so I left GPS status running on the window ledge. Once it gets that initial lock, it's golden.

Incidentally, some of this could well be due to a change in the new Google Maps/Nav. There's a stability issue with radios outside the US with the newer maps as it tries to access extra GPS data via that big wifi database, which doesn't work outside US so I had to disable it, given how many (and the majority of) our users are European.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alekp:
Ninpo/Hacre. thx for the great release. Since FV 1.0.0 i haven't returned to any other ROM even that was very buggy. 1.1.9 rules i got 5.25 linpak with 130 + apps + sys apps. FV 1.2.1 uber fast and i used on second time the 352 - 749 kernel and due to problems with CPU speed i havent enabled it and i don't need to cause interactive mode is working fine. now i got at least 3.56 and max 5.275 linpack, but the general speed is better then FV 1.1.9. Thanks again for he great work.

Now about the gps.conf file, mine does not have any URL's for the 3 XTRA... props. What is the fix for it?

Thanks. using HTC G2 T-Mobile-MK.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
Okay guys, I need a little help here ... How do I install the faster kernels? I have activated unknown sources in settings menu. I have tried installing the zip file via the recovery, but that doesn't seem to change anything.

I think I should be using the adb console, but I honestly don't know what commands to use ... Can someone please help me out?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daveshouse:
Just an update on this - I am suffering the same issue on 1.1.9. Any ideas or similiar problems from anybody?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alekp:
it worked for me only flashing the zip with the kernel u want, using Amon RA. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
You must be doing something wrong, flashing via recovery does work.

After that, you can choose higher clocking using included app or setCPU.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alekp:
CPU speed has a bug. don't activate it to set custom speeds. use the kernel defaults in interactive mode and u'll be fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
No that's fine, you're not supposed to. That's the workaround.

The real fix is a framework update, which I'll try and get sorted tomorrow along with the kernels.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biffert:
I only had to click the security message 2 times on 1.1.9, then they were gone until I rebooted my phone again.

1.2.1 has showed me the warning 5 times already. Exchange sync itself works fine, but the security messages are a little annoying as they give me the same notification sound as an actual e-mail.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daveshouse:
The security messages in the last I have found were security measures enforced by the exchange server and went away once I'd met them (e.g. having a 5 digit PIN or password on waking up.)

I don't get as far as the security messages on any ROM later than 1.1.9 - always force closes when entering the exchange server details.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
*cough* come on folks, you're all old enough and ugly enough now to know the whole "get me a logcat of it happening" guff by now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alekp:
Thanks, ill wait for ur fix and the new better kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] one_tjc:
Ahh, right - could be the case, I only gave it about 30-40secs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
with froyo now ignoring /data/app and using /system for the pre-installed apps, does it mean the cooked-in apps are uninstallable?

I tried to downgrade LauncherPro to an earlier version and firstly, it doesn't uninstall since the uninstall button in Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Running>LauncherPro is greyed out. And secondly when I try to manually install an older version via an apk file on my SD card, the install seems to go well. No error messages and when I check the version number for LauncherPro, it shows the older version. But after I reboot the phone, it's back to the original version that came with the phone. :confused:

Do I have to remove the LauncherPro apk file in /system first via Android Commander?

BTW I'm just using LauncherPro as an example. It could be any pre-cooked app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Yes.

When you reboot, dalvik always chooses the newest app it finds. Upgrading cooked in apps works fine, the new one goes to /data and dalvik picks the correct newer revision at boot. However if you want to downgrade it's time to dig out adp and the rm command.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sameh_elhakim:
ooof for this rom really the worst rom i have ever seen u didn't give me the ability to install Titanuim backup and no App2sd , etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
What?

10char
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lynt:
Wow. This is the first Froyo ROM I've tried and it's bloody great. I'm always dubious about ROMs that aren't based on official releases, but this ROM is just as good, plus it has Froyo awesomeness. Performs very well with the standard clock speeds I find.

The only feedback I'd offer is that LED/trackball notifications would be great (haven't tested yet, maybe they already work?), and like someone else mentioned, there are a few pre-installed apps that I think aren't needed, and people who want them can install them themselves (I prefer light, clean ROMs). Things like Linpack and the volume tool. Not a huge problem as there aren't too many apps you've bundled in there.

Can I overclock this ROM with CPU Speed, or do I need to download another kernel?

Thanks heaps, and great work. Oh, one other thing, ShootMe won't work, it says it cannot start and to make sure I have root access. Anyone else seen this?

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daentech:
Erm... how does this rom stop you installing Titanium backup? Looking in the apps list, its already there...

Apps2sd also works by default if you have the sdcard partitions set up...

If something doesn't work in the way you expect it, don't immediately assume it is broken. Software changes, along with its interface, and new features are added which may obscure older ones. If you can't find something, it might still be there and you just haven't found it yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sameh_elhakim:
1st i'm talking about Titanium backup Donate so try it and u will understand what i talking about

2nd App2sd doesn't work and i have SD partition EXT 512 megabyte so pllllllz add Cynogen* setting like Fusion Rom pllllllllllllz

luncher pro it's a lite version and i have the donate version why i can't use it cuz u added it for ur rom offffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff and sry for my English
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jirafabo:
I'll just say that you're english isn't really that bad, but your use of repetitive letters in your words is rather annoying and immature. if you are having problems or questions, just ask. people will gladly help but when you ask/demand you won't get very far!

i too have the pro version of launcher pro and ti backup, i just installed this rom so i'll see if i have similar problems. you may just have to enter your code again or something. not sure. will check back when i get it going.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enyeng:
1&3: I use both Titanium Backup Donate and Launcher Pro plus and both are working properly on this ROM. Did you properly put your license file (for the TT backup) in the root of your SD? I did not even have to setup anything about the Launche Pro Plus. It's just work for me.

2: How did you check that app2sd do not work on your setup? The 'quick system info' app showed that the A2SD storage on my phone was correctly occupied.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lynt:
Disregard... I went and read the release notes o_o

Any ETA on trackball/LED notifications? Apart from that, this ROM is perfect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] canadian_psyko:
Flashed this last night, looks good so far. 2 minor issues (which aren't specific to this rom):

-I cannot get mms to send a non broken message. Sense rom's will, and the only receive tester I have is also running android.

-Froyo issue: SSL/https will not work unless on wifi. If on mobile data, it just brings up a blank page.

Shall give it a try soon!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sameh_elhakim:
1st i will try to put the license file in the root of SD

2nd i checked by Gscript but it say it working without delvik cache but i entered to the info of any app and it say move to SD card not to the phone and when i pressed on the on SD Card nothing happened just a black space thats make me sure the app2sd doesn't work .

thanx man and wait for your feedback
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
Nice!

Have one on me then!

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
the one point you made should lead you to the second thought you had there... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
"move to sd card" is different from the far superior apps2sd that we're talking about.

if you want the crappy froyo-based apps2sd fat32 system, go ahead, I think it's there too, and if not then you can always use a rom that does have that.

it's quite inferior to the apps2sd method used here though which is the same as what is in most non-froyo custom roms.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dtmark:
Hi,

New to all this: I was wondering if there's perhaps an "FAQ" which answers these:

- Is it possible to change the handset from Windows Mobile to Android (or any other OS?) The reason for this is that Windows Mobile is just not stable enough on this handset.

- Is this "risky"? Might I end up with no working handset?

- If it is possible to do so, is is then possible to ever revert back to Windows Mobile?

- Do you have to "buy" the Android OS?

Thanks,

Mark
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
1. There's no Android for hTC Mega, but here's a thread about it [here]

If you say that WinMo is not stable - why not try to flash a custom ROM?

2. You may and you may not, as there is no Android for it, then most likely not :D

3. In most cases Andriod boots from SD, so WinMo is always there.

4. Android is free.

PS. next time post in Mega section.

inspired by, and zip file hijacked from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583094

i put these three boot animations together.

the first is UltimateKill, i have found a couple mentions of it already being done, but the one i downloaded didnt work on my hero and the other didnt have an attachment.

my version is abit crap, its not sized correctly, its just 160x120. i tried sizing it up, and rotating it, but the thing ended up 19mb. so this zip just has the basic gif in it.

the second is a fractal ish thing, i was googling 320x480 animated gif, it looked pretty good so i put it in a zip and thats that.. i dont have a link for this, down load it and look at the gif...

the third is haters gonna hate. same deal with it.

i may update haters to remove the pokeball... or i might forget about it..

all three have a cylon wav file in them.. thats how creative i am..

no warranties, no promises, no apologies.

as always nandroid,

flash zip from recovery.

all three files say signed, this is because the original i lifted from the linked animation was signed, i didnt do anything to resign or verify or anything like that... so if changing a gif matters for signing, then they aint signed...

update:

all three are tooooo small.

the fractal has potential. needs resized and rotated for a better screen fit.

the haters is total crap, not sure about why.. but dont bother..
[Droid Incredible General] Lcsglvr:
So, I've noticed for a few days that my uptime equals my awaketime. So, my phone is not sleeping properly (poor Incredible!).

I uninstalled ALL my apps and my phone still won't sleep. Don't use a Task Killer - only Task Panel with one app on auto kill but Task Panel has never made my phone not sleep before - even after uninstalling it I've continued to have the problem. Autosync off, GPS off, wifi off.

It must be an internal thing.

I have SkyRaider 2.5 (came from 2.2 yesterday), stock kernel, 2.15 radio. My phone has slept before with SkyRaider and no other users of SkyRaider report their battery not sleeping.

Can anyone help me pin-point the cause of this? I would be very appreciative.

Edit: only thing I could find is that Spare Parts and my BatteryLeft said UID 10018 was taking 100% of my Partial-wake time. I searched for UID 10018 but can't find anything

Edit:. Found this on a webpage

I/ActivityManager(*1540):*Start*proc*com.android.alarmclock*for*broadcast*com.android.alarmclock/.AlarmInitReceiver:*pid=1656*uid=10018*gids={}

[Droid Incredible General] 16qam:
I'm on skyraider 2.5.2 and facebook 1.3.2

I *was* seeing the same thing. I looked at services and saw that a Facebook service was running. I closed and let my phone sleep for 15 seconds. Now my awake time is less than up time.

** shakes fist @ Facebook service **
[Droid Incredible General] Lcsglvr:
Auto sync is not continuous, even when I disable it completely my battery still drains.

Facebook services aren't the problem.

[Droid Incredible General] stromness:
Sorry I was at work the whole day. Could you download "Android Terminal Emulator" from the market. Open it and type, "top -n 1 > /mnt/sdcard/top.txt" then ENTER. This creates a top.txt file on your sdcards root directory. Could you post the output of that here?

You said UID (User identifier)... you sure you don't mean PID (Processor identifier)?

For the record, I'm learning here as well. Just trying a few things that might help.

In Fairnees to Batteries

I have been beating my Incredible to death with updates and changes over the past few days. No wonder Battery Life has bee miserable.

I just bought the Incredible from Craig's List for a very cheap price, previous owner loaded a ROM and lost all external communications, Communicationly(sp) bricked...

Thanks to this forum I was able to un-brick the phone in about 1 hour, since then neither Incredible or I have had much down time.

I think I will wait until the newness wears off and determine how battery life will really be under normal usage.
[Droid Incredible General] Lcsglvr:
Sorry. I just did a complete wipe and reinstalled sky raider and all my APPS and my phone sleeps now. Nor sure what the problem was.
[Droid Incredible General] EP2008:
For me personally, I had issues with my device staying awake 100% and the problem was Flickr. Once I removed the account, everything went back to normal.

I suppose we are lucky to have enough sense to use apps like Spare Parts to check on these things, but I pity the Android phone user who has no knowledge of these things and end up with a phone that dies after 4 hours.
[Droid Incredible General] akudaikon:
I had this problem as well and spent days trying to figure out the cause. For me, it was a clock widget I was using. Apparently, it continued to update the clock time every second, even when my phone was locked, stopping it from going to sleep.

For me it was the LED Clock widget. I actually ended up rewriting the widget myself so I could use something like it but still let my phone sleep. I think I noticed the same issue with the Digital Clock Widget, but I'm not entirely sure.

Might not be your problem, but it was the last thing I thought of and the culprit.
[HD2 General] RedJackson:
Basically I just want something that'll last a day and won't just die quick like my G1. I really wanted to just skip out on the data plan and just get the 20$ unlimited text plan, but for some reason Blackberries REQUIRE the data plan and the cheaper spectrum just don't look as good.

So I'm stuck with Android, and well I just don't know what to decide. I love having a keyboard, so I was looking at the My Touch 3G slide, but then I saw the HTC HD2 which is pretty big, but just looks plain awesome.

The problem here is that it doesn't have a physical keyboard and I haven't really tried the on screen text alot, is it easy to use an on screen keyboard? I have a contract with T-Mobile so they'll give me that "2 years expired" discount.

I love having alot of apps (which I don't know if the HD2 has a dedicated app store to the scope of the android market), like taking high-res pictures (though it's not a MUST), I already have an iPod so music is set, but the battery life is also very important. I don't really care about size though.

The HD2 looks very awesome, but I don't know if I should just stick with an Android.
[HD2 General] mr_billionaire:
The on screen keyboard it nice and the best keyboard you can find on a non-apple device, as for the apps, Windows Mobile is lacking in that section, BUT, if you have a look in the Android Development thread for the HD2, you can have both WinMo and Android 2.2 FroYo running on the great phone that is the HTC HD2.

EDIT: Also, I am using Android on my HD2 to reply to your post, and its greeeaaat!

Sent from my HTC HD2 running DarkStone HD2Froyo v1
[HD2 General] RedJackson:
Wow, really? That's awesome if it can run Android!!

If I install android, can I still install apps to the SD card and such? Is getting Android on the HD2 safe and easy?

I'm actually pretty scared, I jailbroke/routed my G1 but it took quite awhile for me to get it right.. If the HD2 can run Android nice and or near perfect I'm settling on the HD2.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
I have a SERIOUS disagreement with your statement that WinMo is lacking in the apps department. There are literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of applications made for WinMo. Just because they are not on the Marketplace, doesn't mean that they aren't there.
[HD2 General] RedJackson:
^

What kind of apps?

I had alot of fun messing around with soundboards, games, camera FX's, and other stuff like translators, shazam, and weird stuff. I just like having a variety of stuff available at disposal for some weird reason >_>

Also thanks for the replies guys, really appreciate it.
[HD2 General] mr_billionaire:
Ur right, there are hundreds of apps for WinMo, but android has thousands. and to the OP, Android runs completly off the SD card so all the apps are stored on the SD card as well as all the data and does not touch the HD2's NAND memory so you can dual boot WinMo 6.5 and Android 2.1/2.2.

It is easy to run Android on the HD2, jus put the files on the SD and run the two programs and ur set.

Sent from my HTC HD2 running DarkStone HD2Froyo v1
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I dunno. The OP really sounds like he's a android fan. I've got nothing against that. Windows Mobile is not meant for all people and at time users making the change from iphone or android can find it difficult to adjust to the HD2. The keyboard for the HD2 is not great. I would recommend that you stick with an android OS phone such as the Vibrant or whatever it's called. But if you do wish to get the HD2 I've got a sticky with how to flash your phone videos, link in m sig.
