[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyaz_7:
Hi

Sorry I just re read my post and it is not very clear. I am referring to the first step of making a backup. If i want to make a backup of the original ROM on the phone (the three ROM), how would I go about making a full backup incase anything goes wrong whilst I am trying to root the phone ? What I am trying to say is I want to have abackup incase I get it wrong whilst rooting.

Apologies for the questions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
You'll have to read up on that. I don't think there is an easy to follow guide. Check out the nandroid details with a quick google search. Personally i've never bothered with this part of the process because as long as there is a 3 network rru exe file (check htc's website) then you can always go back (obviously losing your personal settings). When you run the rru it removes everything you have done and sets the phone back to the state it arrived in.

If you do do it then please make a simple to follow guide for others.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyaz_7:
Am I correct in thinking that if anything were to go wrong during the rooting process, I can still restore the phone via a 3 network rru exe file (all be it loosing my settings). Just in case I do make a mistake, how would I go about restoring the phone ? Would I simply place the RUU file on an SD card and then run the RUU file ? How would I run the RUU file ?

I have looked on the HTC website and cannot seem to find this RUU file for a hero on the 3 network. Does anyone have this RUU file and would they be kind enough to forward it on to me or a link to the RUU ?

Thank you guys for being so patient. I know I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer !

That should be the 3UK rru file. I would recommend keeping a copy just in case. You just run the file from any windows PC and it will do its stuff.

You are correct in your deductions and sharp enough ;)

Hi

Just an update guys, I have managed to create a goldcard but I cannot get HTC sync to work with Windows 7. I tried to follow the advice provided but it just states Windows has picked the best driver for this. I am tearing my hair out !

Any ideas on how to sync htc hero running 1.5 cupcake with windows 7 ultimate ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Which version of HTC Sync are you running?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyaz_7:
HELP HELP HELP !

I got HTC to work, went to device manager, changed it to MY HTC, I tried to install the downgrade RUU, then there was an error saying cannot connect to PHONE and now I am left with 2 green dudes on a skateboard and message saying RUU USB.

What do I do ? Have I bricked it ?

Edit: For some reason windows 7 changed it in device manager from myhtc to htc bootloader, just changed it back and attempted the downgrade again, this time it was succesfull. Its bloody dangerous this downgrading, nearly had a heartattack !

Right on to the next bit !

Hi

Just another update, I managed to root the phone and load the VR12 rom without too many problems. Still getting used to VR12.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all at VillainROM, xda developers and the people at unlockr.com. Also a special thanks to btdag.

I do still have a few more questions !

I am happy with VR12 but I have read that superhero 2.0 is faster, is it faster than VR12 ?

I was wondering how I can backup this current ROM (I am presuming nandroid) and try a different ROM ? On a sidenote does anyone know how to stop the vibration feedback when typing ? I have gone into keyboard setting and turned off vibrate feedback but it still vibrates !

How would I go about installing a new rom ? would it be simply placing the rom on the SD card, booting into the the custom recovery screen, perform a full wipe, select flashzip and select the new rom, click OK, reboot and hey presto a new rom ?? I am presuming as I have installed the latest radio I will not need to redo that step ?

Thanks again everyone.

My hero was on 3. With the original ROM I had a link for my3 and I could check my usage. I could also download free skype and msn messenger. Is there a way I can get theese links on my rooted 3 which is running vanillarom 12 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
I have a guide for backing everything up:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=669754

SuperHero is meant to be good but i'm not sure if it will be much better than VR12 and it is likely to be buggier (due to the hacked nature of it). Though I haven't tried it. Best to ask on the villainrom forums or IRC as they've probably got more experience with it.

If you want more speed i'd check out the latest version of Froyd Villain. Stunning IMO but it is Vanilla so you don't get the HTC Sense UI - but get beautiful widgets and you won't even notice.

New rom - just follow the "Install a custom rom" part of my newbie guide again. Exactly the same. Obviously make sure you have backed everything up before hand :)

You should never have to update the radio after doing it the first time until a new radio is released (not likely any time soon).

Vibrate keyboard - have you changed it in HTC_IME settings too (if this is installed in VR12?). I think there are a few places to turn it off, i'm sorry I cant remember them off the top of my head.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyaz_7:
Thanks for the feedback. Has anyone managed to get the My3 links onto their custom rom ? I think I might need it to monitor my usage ! Also has anyone managed to port across the three version of skype and MSN messenger ?

I have been reading about pepole overclocking their heros using custom kernels. Is it safe ? How would I go about installing a custom kernel ? Is there an app which allows overclocking ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyaz_7:
Just an update, I have managed to flash a new kernel (flykernel10a). I am currently playing with the settings to find the best battery life vs usability.

I have a question with regards to the SD card which I used to root the phone. It has a lot of files on there which were used/created when rooting. Am I ok to delete these files ? There is a file which is called recovery - backup, I am a bit weary of removing this file. If I remove all the files on the SD card will the custom revoery image still work ? i.e. is the custom recovery image on the phone or the Sd card ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Recovery is on phone, so you can delete stuff.

But make a backup of your nandroid and recovery image backup

Hi

I am happy running VR 12 with flashkernel10a (non bfs) but I am stuck with the keyboard. I have selected the HCT IME mods and turned off key preview as I think this slows down the keyboard when typing a text for example. However the mod does not seem to be applying as it still shows a key preview !

Also I cannot find a way of turning off vibration feedback with the phone dialler when dialling. I also want to remove a few items such as the stocks item. How would I go about removing this program.

Regards,

Riyaz

* I have managed to work out the problem with the keyboard, I feel embarassed saying but I forgot to select the modded keyboard by holding down the botton left key on the keyboard and selecting the modded keyboard. I am still stuck on the stock removal and the vibration feedback on the phone dialler.
[G1 General] Evervoid:
Hey there -

I've been lurking on these forums for close to a year now - when I rooted my mytouch. Recently, I've been thinking about an app I'd really like to develop. But I'm pretty new to programming in general. The most I've done is messed around with very basic C++ and php. I started looking here: http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html -- the official android dev guide -- but the most I could get out of it was a basic idea of how android apps are structured as I didn't understand any of the code (I only read the first few articles of the guide).

Now while I can (and have) search google to simply look for other tutorials I wanted to check here first to see if anyone has any tips as to a good, basic, tutorial that can get me on my feet before I start working on my idea.

Thank you!

Is it possible to overclock our vibrant yet? I see my CPU is only running at 800MHz but its a gig processor?
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
It's set to run from 100-1000, so at any given time when you look, it's probably somewhere in the middle. When some app needs more cpu, the system will adjust the speed for you. There is an oc kernel, but it's not quite stable yet.

Ok so I might sound like a total moron but I am new to the andriod world. I have successfully rooted my Sprint Hero, backed up with Nandriod, and flashed a few roms, however I was wondering if there is some app that I can use to back up my apps and data so that when I flash new roms (seem to be doing this at least every other day!) I can just restore my apps and data with having to do it manually everytime?

Like I said, I am a newb, and I am still trying to feel my way around Andriod so any help would be appreciated :)

I am running pl3x ROM and was hoping that someone could make a flashable version of the notification bar in the Evo theme made by manup456 that I could apply to my phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] -AdamZ-:
Google is your best friend...

Unzip the themed *.apk and insert the images you want into your zipped up *.apk. (An *.apk file is just a compressed file... you can just rename to *.zip to unzip.) Then just push your themed *.apk back into /system/app... or /system/framework for framework-res.apk, where the status bar image is located. Good luck.

GOOGLE SEARCH!!!!

- AdamZ

(And since you were talking about making a ROM... this should be a ridiculously easy first step. If not, then....... Google Search and read up.)

Hey there,

I found these icons on the desire forum and I was wondering if anyone could port them for our Heros. Especially the battery % with 100 power levels. I think it looks better than the Circle battery one. Also it has a few really cool icons.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wayferer:
hey guys, i have the first draft ready now (after messing up my ROM and not getting any sleep last night from restoring backups...), thanks to Summered for tips and Daneshm90 for REALLY handy scripts. I'm just going to get some lunch and will do up a VR12 version. Please make sure you have backups, nothing should go wrong as I have managed to get the update.zip way working. I also have yet to hear back from jercik if this is ok.

I have recreated all the images and used the standard DroidSans font for the text. Will need you guys to tell me if you think it's not readable :)

brb with download links :)

Edit: Ok here are the download links for VR12 (Please try flashing the original one FIRST to make sure the update script etc works fine and please make sure you have a nandroid backup and Titanium just in case ;))

modified - (please see new thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=762372)

Can you guys let me know what you think? Does it flash fine? Is the text readable? I want to get these right before I create updates for other ROMS (and try my hand at the other icons) :)

Note: Both of these are derived from the 'original' framework-res.apk from VR12 (I took it straight from the download. I hope that is ok???) (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715728) and they will overwrite any changes you may have made yourself. If you have made changes let me know and I get give you my email address for you to send me your framework-res.apk file.

Good luck :)

Edit: After playing around with flashing the update script (really want to nail this process down...) it appears that it doesn't apply this properly unless you wipe the battery stats before flashing. I guess it makes sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] k0zmic:
What's the difference between the original and modified? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Alexander13:
I flashed it and it worked fine without wiping the battery stats. Afterall I don't think battery stats have anything to do with the appearance of the icon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wayferer:
The original is the one that comes with the ROM and the modified is the one i changed. it's handy to have the original on the sdcard in case the modified doesn't work you can reflash the original.

interesting. it seems to be for mine. glad it worked :) What do you think of it? Is the text readable?

I just flashed it over Super circle battery mod under VR12.

Works like a charm, battery shows numbers in it :)

Everything is clear, and easy to read.

I was a bit sad, that none of the other icons were ported, I was kinds hoping that I will have nice colours ;)

So to sum up - works great :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Alexander13:
It's really good. Can you port the other icons too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wayferer:
Thanks :) I will start working on the other icons soon (I am assuming you mean the otheres that jercik has done?). I have made another version of the battery icons using the clocktopia font. if I upload them would you mind testing and see if its nicer to read? i think it is :)

thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Alexander13:
I don't mind testing it. Thanks to nandroid you can go back anytime you want. But something tells me I won't have to. You're doing excellent work. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wayferer:
Thanks for the encouragement. :)

Edit: Ok here is a new update :) I have kept the same font as the previous one (will leave the other one as you all seem happy with it :)) and added new ones for charging. Please let me know how it goes. Also just so you guys know I'm not on VR12, I'm on the standard but rooted 2.1. So I am testing on that and then copying the necessary files over to the VR12 framework. So I am kinda doing it a bit blind :/

Hopefully the charging icon is smooth, my phone has too much charge to test the whole range. If needs be I can add more steps :)
