[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Get a Desire or Samsung Galaxy S, pretty much superior in every way and usually the same price. If you're still thinking hero here are my answers that differ to pulsar's:

3: you may find various different problems with custom rom's but they are so varied its hard to say whether the problem will affect you or not - it is usually dependant on which features/apps etc you use. That's not to say the official releases are any better, in fact from what i've read they are often just as bad or worse for problems. The good thing is once you're on custom rom's you can quickly and easily try out a few.

Battery life - with the latest custom rom's I haven't had battery issues at all, but for best battery life try to reduce the use of 3G, WiFi and GPS and set the brightness to automatic or low. On heavy use the battery can last as little as 4 hours but with average use you usually see 24 hours or more and on low use i've got 4-6 days out of it. You can also get bigger batteries (sometimes makes the phone bigger too though) which can last 14 days or more on low use.

4: GPS has its issues! Some people appear to have issues regardless of what they do, others have reported it being broken in every rom try, most find at least 1 custom rom which works for them. From what i can tell ~90% of people appear to have working GPS, however for best results try to get a lock in an outdoors environment whilst the phone isn't moving, once the lock is established it is generally never lost (in my experience) until you turn it off or stop using it.

5: for SMS writing I found that the screen was odd to use at first but it only took a few texts to get used to it, after a week I was texting faster than the phone could handle (back when the phone was slower and non-custom rom) but you get used to its speed and adjust accordingly. It corrects most of what I mistype anyway so even if i type an entire word wrong it can still work out what you mean (almost seems like magic sometimes). Once again this is something you have to get used too but mistakes happen all the time on the keyboard, I am really happy it has the auto-correct feature (something the iPhone lacks).

Other points:

Android sounds scarier than it is. It is definitely different to the flash and simple looking iPhone but it has much greater functionality and customisability. If you don't like something about it chances are someone else doesn't too and there is usually a way to change it! As I said before the Desire or Samsung Galaxy are the current way to go (better hardware and will receive future updates too). The Hero is on the back end of its lifetime.

Benefits to hero:

- Custom ROM's are more stable as they have been developed for a long time

- Knowledgeable community because of how long things have been going

Drawbacks:

- Members are moving away to newer phones

- End of life product and no future official updates

- Slower due to hardware restraints

Thank you all for your input. If it was for someone who would really use it well, I would definetly get a HTC Desire, but I my mothers last phone was a nokia 2630.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haasha:
Hello,

First af all thanks to everyone in xda-developers. You guys are doing a very great job and are helping a lot of people.

My problem:

I've an IPAD (yes it's great, but while change when 1st tablets with android be available!) and also a N1

I've bought an ipad accessory that allows connect an USB drive to copy pictures (Camera Connection Kit, CCK). The problem is that when I connect the N1, the Ipad shows a message "accessory is not available, connected accessory uses too much power" and, in the other side, the N1 does not switch to USB mode (as it does when I plug it to the PC).

I think that if I'm able to switch to USB mode manually, I'll be able to connect the N1 through Ipad CCK, but don't know how to do it (I've found in all settings, apps, etc, but didn't find it)

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haromaa:
Hey all.

I've tried to search from internet if somebody has the same problem as I do with my Galaxy S but I could not find anything. Seems that my Screen is loose from the right side of the screen. If i press gently the screen from the right middle it bends and makes this clicking sound. I haven't dropped or hit my device and it seems that this screen movement is getting worse all the time.

Has anyone else had any build quality problem or am I just unlucky?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keno_ro:
I think is an issue covered by the warranty.

Go to the dealer and change it. Fast.

If it clicks probably it has something that is pressing on it.

you could find your self in the position to crack it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Whoareyou:
Ok in all the pics of the tab ive seen the launcher looks like a hybrid of the vanilla froyo launcher and touchwiz sooo is this what touchwiz 4 will look like????
[Galaxy Tab General] MacaronyMax:
all the ones ive seen look like tw3 to me :D but if it is different i think you might be right :D :D :D
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
As best I know its tw3... Some of the stuff I've seen even had the same wallpaper as the Galaxy s. Other than that, maybe you're just seeing different/updated icons for its firmware revision.

Alternatively, could be that a reviewer has played about to get things just how they wanted. No point in having droid if you can't load up your favourite widgets :p
[Galaxy Tab General] ConceptVBS:
I believe it IS an updated TouchWiz as it has the pinch to zoom out home screen function and some of the icon designs are different.
[Galaxy Tab General] Whoareyou:
This is the pic I saw with the new touchwiz/vanilla hybrid it looks really nice http://www.samsunghub.com/2010/09/06/samsung-galaxy-tabs-model-numbers-for-different-operators/
[Galaxy Tab General] Whoareyou:
Anyone elese think it loooks like a vanilla/touchwiz hybrid
[Galaxy Tab General] unitea:
from the videos i have watched, that is froyo and when you tap on the applications icon, it takes you to touchwiz.
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Oh thats a good point. Since we don't have an official Froyo to compare it to on the Galaxy S, nor do we know what extras and changes they'll have made for the larger form factor, its very hard to compare.

I really don't think its TW4 or anything, because they would be pimping the fact its all new and improved in the literature.
[Galaxy Tab General] Whoareyou:
Mabey its some updated touchwiz mabey 3.5

Sent from my HTC Espresso, that is apperantly a failing device using the XDA App
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Certainly could be. I guess the Tab needs its own version of TW anyways (higher res icons maybe, and just stuff calibrated for the larger screen) and I certainly see what you mean about it looking like a hybrid. Particularly now I'm running a themed non-TW on my galaxy, I can see it a lot more on the home screen. The menus is still TW for sure, but to me it looks like it has some LauncherPro love right out of the box instead of the standard TW dock. And thats a good thing IMHO.

Not saying I hate TW or anything, but that I never liked the dock and always did something to it to make it better.

Hi, I'm a newbie for ROM cooking, experienced cookers, please advise.

I'm using HD2/Leo phone, I learned how to use HSPL, flash a cooked ROM, but I can't found a Chinese traditional version of cooked ROM, so I'm start thinking of cooking the ROM my own, and what all I need is retain original 1.66 709.3 Taiwan version of stock ROM, but only to enable 576MB RAM.

I found a kitchen, oskitchen zero 1.31, use the GUI and extracted the stock ROM, and stop here, because I don't know which files need to be replaced. And BTW, the notification enhancement needed to recomod?

Experienced cookers, please advise, thanks in advance!!! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bountygiver:
just install a TMOS radio and you have 576 mb ram

go to radio thread
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudhi:
Hi bountygiver, installing a TMOUS radio doesn't change anything? anymore idea?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HD2Owner:
the 2.xx radio only won't enable 576mb ram....

you also need a 2.XX-rom's nk.exe and replace the 1.66 nk.exe with it.

to ensure tmous-compatibility, you should also use os.nb.payload from 2.XX.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudhi:
Thank you HD2owner, I replace v2.14 nk.exe with Tmous radio and flash it, but the boot process stop at Windows screen, now I know I should also replace the os.nb.payload.

Is there any risk of bricking my HD2 phone? I'm scared!!! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HD2Owner:
you also have to rec-mod ntconfig.dll (ext/notification enhancement).

this should fix the freeze at the windows bootscreen.

some say you have to rec-mod all modules in notification enhancement and concurrence manager but i use them as modules.

i didn't face problems until now with only rec-mod ntconfig.dll.

right click rec-mod:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4807024

if you have a international hd2, don't worry about bricking (2.xx stock roms work on international hd2).

if you have a tmous-hd2, you should always use a 2.xx-base and according radio.

Amazing work CM and team!

With the help of Firerat's scripts, (Custom MTD Partitions, and All-In-One) I feel comfortable enough with CM-6.0.0-DS to play with the nightlies. I do not like the built-in apps2sd. Too slow and too much room for disaster.

I've replaced a lot of "borrowed" icons and such with my own graphics. My new status icons do require you use a dark(er) status bar than the stock white. By now most of you know where to find the Notification bar changes. I did include, for my own comfort, MMS and Gmail apks from the google apps tiny add-on. I only made a couple of changes to those to replace some notification icons.

9/8/2010: Fixed the download links. Sorry Google changed things around and I wasn't paying attention.

9/12/2010: I couldn't resist. Such good things were being said about the third 9/9 nightly I just had to flash it. Since I'm not playing the nightly game regularly now, I decided to Theme it for my enjoyment. So far battery life is good and it's a quick ROM.

10/22/2010: Updated for Nightly #213... I've updated a lot more of the notification icons. I'm working on changing the color of the new dropdown power manager. I couldn't get a screen shot of the "USB In Use" image. This includes APKs for Email, Gmail, and Vendor. Sorry if you don't use them, I do.

10-22-2010 Part Deu: Updated for nightly #215.

10-24-2010: Updated for nightly #219

10-26-2010: Updated for nightly #222

10-28-2010: Updated for RC1. Swapped the USB Connected graphics. Makes a little more sense.

12-14-2010: Updated for CM-6.1.0 DS Stable. I have updated a lot of the graphics to color. Some have just been colorized. Others are full color icons. It still works best with a black or dark notification bar. That can be set with the Cyanogenmod Settings. There are still some google applications here. I do this primarily for me so if you don't want the google apps you will need to remove them yourself. I haven't figured out how to incorporate the wallpaper into the CMWallpapers.apk. For now you will have to download and apply it yourself. (gee aren't I helpful?)

12-24-2010: Updated for Nightly #285. Lots of colorized notifications and menu items.

To Install

Download/Copy to the root of your sdcard

Reboot into Recovery Mode.

Nandroid backup *ALWAYS*

Flash the .zip file

Reboot and Enjoy!

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] LostEden:
Why are you doing to each new Nightly version?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mr.incredible:
Changes to the nightlies mean changes to the APKs. If you flash an older theme over a new nightly you change the APKs back to when the theme was created. Some big changes have been made lately. From, I think, 218 to 219 there was the new notification dropdown power widget. Really nice. The graphics for that are all in the framework-res.apk. Flash and old theme over that and you miss it. So, when a new nightly comes out I like, I update it with my graphics.

A new RC1 is suppose to drop tonight... I'll probably do an update for that and leave it alone for a while. It gets old doing this almost every night.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mr.incredible:

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] talitore:
I downloaded MrInc_Theme_cm-6.1.0-ds-rc1.zip and followed your instructions on flashing it.

It flashed and booted fine but the only thing it replace was the icons.

Literally nothing else changed. Any suggestions?

talitore
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mr.incredible:
It is a theme not the whole ROM. That is pretty much what it does is replace the stock graphics with my colorized icons. To change the notification bar colors you have to have the full Cyanogen ROM. It is available in the G1 Android Development forum. CM610RC1
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] talitore:
Well yes I know this. I have 6.1RC1 installed...

Again I followed your instructions to the T and it looks nothing like the images you posted.

Is it ONLY the icons? If so where can I get the rest of the images that are advertised on your first post.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mr.incredible:
Well the wallpaper is the last link on the OP. The rest is either widgets or apps I have installed. The clock with weather is Beautiful Widgets. The audio widget is Audio Widgets Pro with Wood theme. Some of the apps are pay-per-view so I would never include them in my theme. Other than that it is all there.

But when i go through the instalation it say the only editions i can install are Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit or 64bit version.

But i need the Home Premium 64bit edition.

Another problem is that there is no ei.cfg file in \sources\

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MerlinOfLore:
On my old phone (an original AT&T Tilt) I was running WM6 Pro w/ Opera Mobile 8.65 and Weather Watcher Mobile ( which is an awesome free download http://singerscreations.com/Weather-Watcher-Mobile.asp ) and everything worked and the world was beautiful. Now I've upgraded to the Tilt2 (love the phone) with WM6.5 Pro, Opera Mobile 9.7.35461 and the same version of Weather Watcher Mobile and, although the screens load for Weather Watcher, all the data (days of the week, temps, weather status icons etc) all display in an Opera window which 'respawns' itself every time I switch tabs or update the weather info. I'm fairly sure it has to be a setting in Opera but don't know which one. Has anyone had any similar issues? If so, how did you fix it? Any ideas?
