Ok well I'm trying to help someone out & was wondering if you could because all the options I could think of he's done. He's trying to find the png or xml that controls the background for htc twitter, friend stream, and calendar widgets.

Novice problem

Computer Hardward: Windows Vista 32 Bit

Phone: HTC Hero-Sprint

Ultimate Goal: Putting Android 2.2 on my phone

I have seen all the hoo-rah and info about 2.2 and want it! I'm not a programmer nor do I have any in-depth developing knowledge. I'm having problems from the start, as I am unable to get my sdk/adb stuff set up for the FIRST step. I follow directions that I'm reading precisely. I feel like I've tried following several different directions on XDA and I start completely over each time trying a different one(uninstalling SDK and re-installing per particular directions) and they have all came to no avail.

Problem is at the install the adb driver step.

I've verified the folder and contents of the AndroidSDK I've downloaded and it looks like the vital programs are there. I unfortunately ALWAYS get the following message:

"Windows was unable to install your ADB"

"Windows could not find driver software for your device"

Any help out there?? This small step is stumping me severely.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

still no bueno

still having difficulty setting up the sdk. i installed the htc sync. next i attempt to run the cmd promt "adb drivers" and get the message " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I'm using the instructions on the following link and am stuck on step 14:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK

I think i've researched that installing the sdk is the "long" way to root and install a new rom. I've also attempted to do the "short" flashrec method and get stuck when trying to press the "backup recovery image" on flashrec. i've tried re-booting like suggested and nothing is proceeding unfortunately.

logically, i've attempted the "short" and "long" ways at different times and different attempts.

this rookie needs dire help.....

When in the command prompt, you ARE pointing it to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, correct?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

"Have you correctly cd ed to the directory of adb?"

don't really know what that means.....if i did maybe i am, maybe i'm not"

11.In the "Variable values" section, add at the very end the location of the tools & package-tools folder, with a semicolon separating these two paths from the rest, e.g. %SystemRoot%;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.

i performed the previous step if that helps...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Are you in the correct directory?

cd C:\wherever the sdk is\name of the sdk\platform tools?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retterb:
?

C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools is the location on my disk. i thought would automatically be directed to that via the previous step 11 by attaching the directories to the "path". however, when trying to run the cmd as an administrator (starting out at C:\Windows\system32> ) and entering "AndroidSDK\platform-tools" in the cmd it says "the system cannot find the path specified"

after following your previous prompt, i typed "adb devices" and it said

the non-intelligent one...again

following directions on: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Hero_(CDMA):_Full_Update_Guide

followed the rooting guide and my phone is now supposedly rooted. now i'm trying to get to the recovery image. as directed i saved to the folder:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools

and my cmd prompt is on that directory and my next command is:

"adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img"

after entering the command i recieve " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

i'm assuming this is because i guided the prompt away from the adb platform-tools folder?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That's not the correct method to flash a recovery anyway.....

adb shell
su

How in the heck can I fully block the texts that Android sends for voicemails? I am using Handcent and I blocked 9016 - they don't show up in my list of threads, but it still shows a notification when I have one. I also sometimes get a notification from the phone (along with the typical visual voicemail one that I expect). That additional notification sends me to call my voicemail, which I assume is a remnant of not having VisualVM installed from the start. Any ideas how to make it so I only get the one notification?

Ya, one more thing. If I flash the 768 version, and it's not stable, how do I remove it? And is it really that much of a performance boost to give it a shot?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yes it can be a huge boost if your phone likes it, and if it doesn't work out just reflash the 691 :)

Ok here is what led to my issue and where I am at currently:

I was running Cyanogen Mod 6.0.0.0-Heroc-RC1 - desktop is WinXP SP3 (work machine, we're behind the times)

I did a nandroid backup because I decided to mess with asop's gingerbread.

I then upgraded to clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5

I followed the ASOP directions but I did not realize that not all files were provided and that the 'guide' was missing several kep pieces for a newbie like me to get things running. I have never had to flash a new kernel for a mod before and was not aware it was needed.

I rebooted after installing the rom (but not a kernel)and the device went into a boot loop.

I then go back into clockwork, restore my old froyo install and everything seems fine. I connect my phone to my computer, the one I had used ADB on minutes before....and nothing. It registers a connection on the phone side, it lights up, it charges. The computer itself never sees anything. I cant find the phone anywhere in the system and when I mount the SD card it never maps the drive. (Yes I have tried multiple USB ports and I am not going through a hub of any sort, the USB ports are directly off the motherboard.)

I have searched and found nothing useful. I have used usbdeview to kill old connections and whatnot and it just will not connect to the computer. How do I get my phone talking to my computer again?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
like whoa. get rom manager, flash 2.5.x.x, follow the wiki steps, flash capped #43 kernel from the wiki, should work. also, posting for help here is less likely to get you help than posting in the rom thread btw.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Only true sometimes ;) Not sure why you'd say posting here he wouldn't get much help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
no offense, but you don't have a hero. I can near guarantee the steps I gave him will work, outside of user error. I simply meant that if he wants GB help, since you are in epic world, he should ask those of us who still live in hero land. and your reply to his query is decent proof that I was correct ;) :) :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Hmm.... while I'd agree with the 2.3 assumption, I'm not sure how insuring the HTC drivers are installed is bad when the computer can't find the phone :confused: And he's on 2.2 not 2.3 by the way :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
I know, but the 3.0.0.5 clockwork has given some adb issues REGARDLESS of their drivers, and since he said it was working before, I assume he has the correct drivers. 3.0.0.5 gives some issues probably due to it's clock speed, that's why I suggested 2.5.0.x
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I'd assume he went back to CWM 2, seeing as he said he went "back to clockwork." I'd assume that's what he meant.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Well, again, my earlier statement was simple as far as telling him how to get GB, it should work. Wiping is key. Hopefully he can fastboot erase -w. Let us see.

EDIT: he said he went back "into" clockwork to restore, not back "to" clockwork... ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Impaler,

In the Decades battery tweak there is an "enable cfs tweaks ". What would I get out of that? I don't know if you have tried. Also, on the battery temperature, what is the setting for that tweak to slow down the CPU speed or should just leave at default? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I left the temp settings at default, but you can change them if you feel the phone getting warm. As for the CFS tweaks, are you on a CFS or BFS kernel? If you're on a BFS kernel, don't enable them. On CFS, it changes the CPU scheduler and makes it act more like BFS at the expense of some stability and GPS on the hero.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Thanks. I believe the Deca kernal used in this build (see signature) is cfs. I don't think I need instability issues or GPS for that matter. Was just using 2.3 (2-6) and had issues. One was a VVM that I finally figured out after going to sense a sense rom and updating that. It would show up as working and I would get the texts, but couldn't listen or just didn't work- even with this rom. Fixed

Thanks for the help.

I have not encountered that problem, so I don't have a clue as to the cause. The fastest/easiest way to make multiple edits to your contacts is from your Gmail account on a computer, and then you can clear data in the app which should force a re-sync with Google.

Android 2.3.2

current rom: aospCMod-20110222

Stock kernel

Gapps combined version

baseband version: 2.42.02.10.29

Okay, I have used AOSP before and have recently changed to using fire rats and I'm glad to say that it works like a dream and has freed up TONS of data, but with the recent flash, I can no longer download apps from the market. I got everything from the built in file manager and my back up of titanium backup. When I select an app to download from the market, it begins to download, then simply stops and disappears.

first make sure your market auto updates to version 2.3.2, which is the current one, then go to the "readme" link in the first post of aosp's GB thread, it's a wiki, click on the "market fix" and run the commands, see if that helps.
