[Hero, G2 Touch General] tolis626:
Hi guys.

I've been on the Hero forums since March and back then I used to see new roms every day,every day there was something new that added functionality to our Heroes made by great devs like RaduG,Maxisma,Hacre(aka Ninpo),erasmux,Elemag and many others that I am sorry for not remembering.It even got official CyanogenMod support sometime.But now?The dev section is almost dead,little to no roms are made/updated and nearly everyone has abandoned it.Is the Hero dead already? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deleted member 2500726:
Well yes a lot of people has left but I think there is pretty many updates anyway. I mean both Feeyo and Hacre releases a lot of updates and elelinux too. Also what more is there to do now than small things? I mean we certainly don't need more 2.1 ROMs :p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fahad123:
i have moved to Hero from my G1.. n seriously there is a hell more development on G1 than Hero :S ...

Hero is a much stronger and a faster device i suppose..!!

still there are nice roms out here.. so dont worry :)

Best Regards.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tolis626:
Well,the G1 and the Hero are almost the same device...Anyway,I don't worry as I also have a Desire ( :D ) but I kinda like the Hero and have it for doing my experimenting and trying new things on the Desire(if they exist in common that is).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
You say there is more dev for the G1. This is because most of the dev starts at the G1 (the original device) and then gets integrated into Hero rom's etc. A lot of the dev that goes on in the G1 forums is quickly and seamlessly integrated into the stuff being developed here, or support for the Hero is added later on but details are kept in the G1 forum post. Either way there is little difference between the stuff we get on the Hero to that on the G1.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MacaronyMax:
I think it is dying, im spending more and more time in O.topic :p But realy the only things left are sense on 2.2 and a .34 kernel with an awesome jit compiler to get me 20mflops ;) :p, because i doubt we will be getting Gingrbread and even if we did it would be slow as hell, being that reccomended specs are 1Ghz and we'd have to have a 3.5" screen so i think weve ended at froyo ;) :(:cool::D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fahad123:
no offence dude! ..

i LOVE my HERO as well :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deleted member 2500726:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] MacaronyMax:
Haha lol :p :D

eh it's always good to dream :p :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tolis626:
Hey,the fact that I use my Desire most doesn't mean I don't like the Hero!Although you are somewhat right,I am a bit of a ****er! :p

And MacaronyMax,you're damn right!Imagine our Heroes hitting 10MFLOPS...That's almost magic! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wywywywy:
As mentioned before, the only things "left" are 2.2 Sense and .34 Kernel... And once these two are done I think it is curtains for many people. I can't wait for these two though!

So will we be seeing this on our incredibles?
[Droid Incredible General] ardax:
I hope so. Did you see the video for the Desire Z w/ the boot "sequence"? WOW.

Linky

"I Hate Web Video Version": You see the "Engadget" logo screen for ~1 sec, fades to phone starting bootup sequence. You see the presenter pull his hand away from the top of the phone where the power button presumably is and the screen go from black to the white background w/ green "HTC" & black "quietly brilliant" text. At the same time he says "I've turned it on... and literally it's ready." Presenter proceeds to unlock the phone ***less than 5 seconds*** into the video.
[Droid Incredible General] JetBomber117:
I really hope they add this sort of function to ours.. The short boot time seems sort of hardware related though. :/
[Droid Incredible General] patches152:
not necessarily, if you change the boot sequence, and disable a lot of the services that initialize during the boot sequence, and put them at the end so they are setting up in the background.

i didn't watch the video, did it show sense starting after he unlocked or was it ready to go right after unlock?
[Droid Incredible General] palomosan:
I'm pretty sure we'll get this on the Dinc and every phone that's running Sense...this is XDA Devs after all, nothing escapes the Devs.
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
I think we have a good chance of seeing this legitly as well... well at least the first part, it reminds me a bit of Apple's MobileMe.
[Droid Incredible General] rmoney:
I'd be more worried about VZW taking forever to approve this update.
[Droid Incredible General] Honestly77:
I want landscape sense like the desire z. ****ing retarded my incredible can't do it.
[Droid Incredible General] Aeckert:
Wow that bootup time was almost unnoticable. I can do without the droid eye animation if it would just go right to my home screen. :)
[Droid Incredible General] rkaplins:
I completely agree with Honestly77. I would love to be able to view the home screen in landscape.
[Droid Incredible General] Yodes:
Sense is up and ready to go after approximately 4 seconds from pressing the power.
[Droid Incredible General] MrNavey:
Get an app called LauncherPro. Allows you to customize the home screen and landscape mode.
[Droid Incredible General] jager420:
+1. I hate how when your in landscape mode and go into an app it doesnt force the app to change in to landscape. But whatev.

Back on topic I dont think HTC will give us the sence 2.0 or the quick boot. They prob will come out on new phones and we will have to take to XDA for those new goodies. But hopefully HTC lets the newest HTC models they have already released get that update.
[Droid Incredible General] ardax:
Are you talking about LauncherPro? Apps come up for me in Landscape if they support it.

I'm just hoping that it's even possible on our phones -- there might be very low level changes required to pull off such quick booting.
[Droid Incredible General] luvit:
I bet we see this. Even though their demo boots literally 10 times faster, we know the hardware is not 10x faster... Although we may aquire it via unofficial rom...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explicitsoundz1984:
Hello there guys. This is my first post on this forum, so please bear with me. I have problem on my device. Basically my htc hd2 was running fine, i had all my programs installed etc. I have created various backups of the phone using sprite backup.

I decided to do a hard reset because the phone never used to go into standby (screen off) when charging, only the backlight used to dim. I checked all the settings and i set the device to dim after 1 min and switch off after 2 mins when connected to external power. It still never switched off, this was turning out to be a nuisence specially when getting missed calls at night and screen staying on.

Therefore i done a hard reset and used sprite backup to restore various backup's as i had a few, but they wernt making the device function correctly. So once the backup file's were restored everything would be fine on the phone untill it went into standby, it then would fail to respond, sometimes the hardware button light up, sometimes nothing. The screen would remain off. I would really like to use the backup files as restoring the phone manually would be teadous. Any clues in what could be causing this, cant be the case off a bad backup as i have created a few.

P.S When hd2 is returned to stock it functions normally. Programs installed battlog, clear temp, bsb tweakes opera 10, opnmarket, skype, spb wireless monitor, coreplayer, srs wowhd 1.5.1.0 v2.1, coreplayer 1.3.6, myplayer, 1NETCFv35.wm.armv4i, 2NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm, resco explorer + reg editor, cht cookie hometab.

Really appreciate it if you pros can shed any light on this? cheers:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast_jan:
Same problem here!

Hi,

I face exactly the same problem - some days ago I was forced into a hard reset because I couldn't unlock my HD2 anymore (the PIN was not accepted anymore, which seems to be a know Win Mobile 6 bug...).

Nevertheless, after the hard reset, I restored from a previous Sprite Backupset and now the phone most of the time never wakes up from standby anymore - this drives me nuts!

I really do not to install everything from scratch (what is backup good for if the restored system does not function properly??

Any clues how to solve this issue?

Jan
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckych:
Seems like the program you are using for backups of software isn't backing up properly and creating a corrupt backup. I would recommend just reinstalling everything from scratch.

What i recommend is just saving all the cab files on your SD card and when you need to hard-reset you can just run through all the installation instead of keep downloading the cab files. Also some Roms have auto-install folders where you can place your cab files in a certain folder and it will install everything for you. Other than that your pretty much SOL. Hope this helps.

SPB Backup. I've had to restore backups to my phone several times, and it's worked like a charm. Be sure to consider using the SPB Backup Sync feature, which allows you to also so keep copies of your backups on another computer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrygol:
I think, I have solved the problem. I reinstalled and re-configured all our common programs (battClock, clear temp, bsb tweakes, opera 10, skype, spb wireless monitor, coreplayer, srs wowhd, NETCFv35.wm.armv4i, resco explorer + reg editor, cht cookie hometab) and it work with no problem in the last 24 hours. It means that one of the above programs couldn't be restored properly with the "sprite backup".

Hi guys

Right, I've got an idea for an application, but I've no experience in creating applications and quite frankly wouldn't know where to start.

To the idea. Well, I know a site which gives detailed information about the flight schedules for thomson airways,including:

-Flight number

-Departure/Arrival airport

-Scheduled Airframe (Aircraft type)

-Dates

If someone is willing to help me to create this application i would be very appreciative. I know it would help out a lot of people because i visit the thomson airways page on the holiday truths website quite a lot and many people ask the moderators for information regarding which airframe will be used for their flights.

The website address is -

I just rooted my phone last week using Caulkulin's Evio rom. Restored everything using titanium backup and my back up pro. I just noticed yesterday that my search button no longer does anything. I want to use it for my Vlingo app, but now when I press and hold it all it does is vibrate the phone and nothing else. Even when I just press the button, nothing happens besides vibrates. Any input?

I have already tried uninstalling/reinstalling Vlingo & Google Voice Search. When I tried to go to Vlingo & Google Voice Search application info to clear defaults, it just shows me "No defaults set" and the clear defaults button is non highlighted (so I can't press it).

Is there an app or widget that can display the text message you last received on the widgetlocker lockscreen?

As you guys know, with the Sense UI lockscreen if your phone is locked and if you receive a text it will show you who sent the text, what time they sent it and a line of text what they said on the lockscreen. Widgetlocker does not do this and I talk to the developer and he said there are tons of apps on the Market for this but I cant seem to find any (he's not for sure if he's gonna add a last message received option on the lockscreen anyways).

Can you help, I really miss this option (and a native music app on the lockscreen as well).

Hey everyone - my first post here.

Anyway, I read and read and read about my new Vibrant to see just what I could do with it without screwing it up and bricking it and I find out my device is hardware locked.

After reading [GUIDE] / [THINK TANK] - Accessing downloader & recovery w/ locked hardware access (I cannot post a link just now, apparently) from start to finish, I am more confused than not. I cannot do anything but stay in a boot loop (by holding buttons down) or boot up the phone like normal. No recovery or download mode has so far been possible.

So, can I root my phone? Should I just attempt to exchange it? Should I wait for a work-around? Or is there information I'm missing somewhere?

Thanks, all. This community is insanely helpful and cordial, without you guys I'd never have gotten my dream working properly.

Edit: I was told that my lack of drivers were the problem - I thought I didn't need them on a 32 bit system. I did. Recovery reboot solved for me!

Here's my advice in a step-by-step:

-Install the AndroidSDK (And make sure it is named that) Found here - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

-Move the folder to Computer> Local Disk ( C: )

-Run the .exe

-Go to Settings, click on Miscellaneous, and check Force https

-Click on Available Packages and install (And then minimize)

-Click Start and search cmd (Also known as Command Prompt)

-Type cd\ (And then press enter)

-Type AndroidSDK\Tools\adb reboot download (And then press enter)

**Make sure your phone is plugged into the computer with USB Debugging turned on.

Your phone will reboot and be in Download Mode. Hope this helps.
