[Hero CDMA General] core24:
Thanks to the reviews on this thread, I just upgraded to CM6 on my Hero and it is AWESOME! Battery lasts forever now even with the data left on. I wonder what kind of inefficient code HTC put on the stock OS that was constantly draining the battery and causing high CPU utilization?

I had upgraded previously to nfinite's ROM but even that slowed after a while and caused me problems. I had managed them for a while by using Juiceextender to keep data from being active all the time, but even that got me maybe 12 hours of battery life. Now I barely have 1 bar gone after 14 hours!

Highly recommend anyone take this on and breathe new life into your phone. I was able to restore even some of the Sprint apps using Titanium backup. Not sure if I care to try to restore Sprint Navigator. I found that it was good but Google Navigator is at least as good, if not better.

HTC HERO!!

I'm only a couple weeks away from my upgrade eligibility and i'm looking forward to getting the EVO. I'm still on a stock HTC HERO. WOULD LOVE TO ROOT IT, but I was told I can't being that my phone is on the new build # ending in .7. Now is there a way to root this phone ( EASY WAY WOULD BE GREAT ) ? I would like to try it before I put my HERO out to pasture. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!!

STOCK SPRINT HTC HERO 2.1 Upd 1

Build # 2.31.651.7

[Hero CDMA General] Fyoolie:
I think I'm gonna stick with my rooted Hero for a while.. it's a totally different phone now that I've rooted it.. I've heard rumors of Evo not getting updated much more, so I wanna see what HTC/Sprint will come out with next before I go buying a new phone.

Also, running cm6 stable and it's beautiful. I can't believe Sprint and/or HTC can't/wont release a 2.2 for Hero.. it can definitely run it like a champ. When will phone companies quit bogging down their phones with unnecessary crap?

Hi,

i flashed my SGS with JM6. Because of the near release of 2.2 officialy over kies i asked me, if it will be possible for me to update the SGS over kies.

I ask this because the JM& is not a officially firmware.

[Android Apps and Games] BrooklynAvi:
I'd like to introduce my new app, My Home Page. My Home Page is a unique app and the first of its kind. It allows you to create a custom home page for your mobile browser using your favorite links. The home page you create is then stored on your SD card for quick access so each time you open your browser, the web sites you visit on the regular basis are just one click away. This means no more fumbling through a ton of bookmarks to open your favorite web site. There are a few types of styles and themes from which to choose and more are being worked on every day. The best part is that absolutely zero programming or design knowledge is required. If you can create a bookmark then you can create a custom home page. It’s literally that simple.

App Web Site: http://www.aaandroid.com/index.php/myhomepage/

Developer Contact: contact [at] aaandroid.com

Price: Free/$1 (initial release price, normally $1.99)

Free Version: Beta 1.0.3

Pro Version: 1.0

The free version is ad supported. The pro version will remove ads and add a couple of themes. As My Home Page is developed further, more extra features will be added to the pro version.

My Home Page, available for purchase in the Android Market, SlideME.org and AndAppStore.com.

Features

Customize your browser’s home page with your favorite links

Unlimited folders

Unlimited links

Bookmark import

Google search box

Multiple home page types

Multiple theme types

Multiple font sizes

Support for stock Android browser and Dolphin Browser HD

Backup/restore option

Automatic setting of custom home page for root users
[Android Apps and Games] tehskazz:
So, this basicly generates a html file that sorts and displays what you specify in the app?

I used to make homepages like this myself using html on the computer and storing it on SD card and making it the homepage manually, however I love this idea. An app that will just do it all from the phone just saves the coding/updating on computer AND transfering to the SD card. Pretty slick idea. Checking it out now.

Error

I get an error when trying to set the home page......I setup a couple folders, added some links, then hit the 'Set Home Page' button, and click OK to confirm. It grants super user permissions, and then an error pops up:

An error has occurred: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare(). Please report it to the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsuneku:
Good work and great idea. I suggest to insert the possibile to import an external (from SD) file for import the bookmarks.

If I have right understand, in this moment is possibile to import only from the Android Browser, I would like to export and prepare file from the Mac.

Thank's.
[Android Apps and Games] keredini:
Just an update that I got this to work if I turned off the option to use superuser.
[Android Apps and Games] BrooklynAvi:
I'm working on this error. If you can post a logcat to pastebin.com it would be a big help. The app is actually working. You will just have to set your home page using the manual method.

This is also why I released it as a beta :)

Thanks a lot for the support.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abel2007:
task 29 is for flashing a new rom. This is what you should do now!

remove battery

remove sd card

remove sim

replace battery

download a original hd2 rom for your Phone, using the serial number on the htc site. (only for non branded phones if you got a branded go to the vendor site)

hold volume down butten down and press simultanious the power button.

keep holding the volume button down

wait for the green, red and blue bar schreen what say at the bottom serial. plug in the usb cable in the computer and in the HD2

USB should stand now where serial used to stand.

Wait a bit for the drivers to install.

Now open the downloaded rom and install it.

Presto you got an original phone with no Hspl anymore, and it will boot now again!

so if you want to get new roms on the phone please read the Noob topic good and use FlashaholicRUU.exe for flashing new roms in the future (build in task 29 then flash the new rom in one program ;))
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
Hi all,

Want to to get this phone but HD7 screen is worrying me.....

Is there a lot of difference between tft and ameoled? Will the difference be obvious?

Why on earth would HTC keep the same display as hd2 and not ameoled...
[HD7 General] PioneerHD2:
Hi,

the HTC HD7 has a super LCD screen. The HD2 has a standard TFT LCD.

From what I hear super LCDs are comparable to SUPER AMOLED screens.

I think, I saw another thread concerning the same.
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
R u sure about this? Source?

If its true then hd7 for me
[HD7 General] jimecm:
Yeah from the specs i read, its going to have SLCD, which is just as good as SAMOLED

specs here http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2636&c=htc_hd7_16gb
[HD7 General] DooLocsta:
Can you point me to these specs? I have heard that it has SLCD and the MSM8250 but have not been able to see this confirmed anywhere. I am getting the phone regardless since I passed on the HD2 and kept and Iphone 2.5g on TMO all this time. Either way I am looking forward to WP7.
[HD7 General] jimecm:
spec here: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2636&c=htc_hd7_16gb
[HD7 General] tboy2000:
SLCD are similar to Amoled but is better in terms of battery life. SLCD is good.
[HD7 General] atlp99:
AMOLED v STFT

The difference between SAMOLED and SLCD is that high quality SLCD screens are sharper while SAMOLED screens have higher color saturation.

Compare the screen on the G2 and the Vibrant, text looks crisper on the SLCD on the G2, but the colors are more saturated (darker blacks, brighter colors) on the SAMOLED on the Vibrant.

It is because of the sub pixel layout of the SAMOLED display. Overall both work well.
[HD7 General] chaoscentral:
the fact that they have the loudpseakers listed as mono already tells me thats wrong.... There's 2 stereo speakers on the device's top and bottom...

Plus slashgear already mentioned it was a regular TFT, and that the viewing angles match the HD2 to prove this(S-LCD has better viewing angles like IPS)
[HD7 General] Cruzer1:
The reason the G2 looks sharper is also helped by the fact that its got a smaller screen.

If HTC's do have S-LCD screen, does that mean they also have the MSM chipset? People here who have emailed and asked HTC have been replied to saying it has the MSM chipset.... this is really frustrating because theres so many cross-information flying about lol. AHHHH!
[HD7 General] diversificationied:
The only "msm" chipset is in the g2, 7XXX, the HD7 is using the first gen QSD 8250 commonly misidentified as msm 8250. The second gen snap dragon is QSD 8255, currently ont he desire HD.
[HD7 General] Jibreil:
S-LCD has a better sunlight legibility, where as OLED, AMOLED and SAMOLED all have bad sunlight legibility.
[HD7 General] slateac:
To be honest, all screens have bad sunlight visibility aside from E-ink displays
[HD7 General] evilangelic:
I just added this in the screen thread, but just to make sure you guys know!

It is the same rubbish TFT, nowhere near S-LCD or anything like it.

HTC Mozart Left, Samsung Omnia 7/Focus Middle, HTC HD7 right.

SOURCE: http://wmpoweruser.com/engadget-previews-the-htc-hd7-htc-mozart-and-samsung-omnia-7/
[HD7 General] manlisten:
That screen is a deal breaker for me. I wish the Omnia were being sold in the US rather than the Focus. I like the form factor better.
[HD7 General] evilangelic:
I'd love it if it had some sort of metal element like the HD7's chrome bezel!

The brown-grey 'metallic' back is not enough... why don't samsung build 'em like HTC!

I'm going to go and check out the Omnia 7 tomorrow, but i'm worried the plastics won't be up to the HD7.

With the screens switched OFF and sitting on your desk the HD7 looks so so so much more BAWSS!

It's going to be a hard call.
[HD7 General] manlisten:
Yeah I really prefer HTC's hardware design and build quality to Samsung. If only they could have put even S-LCD on this phone.

Engadget basically called the screen crap in their review.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/20/htc-hd7-review/

Really a shame, I was looking forward to this device. I may ultimately end up going with it still, but the Focus is awfully tempting now.
[HD7 General] diablos991:
Is it just me or are engadget's reviews always showing this phone from an angle. When it is viewed directly (which is how any person would look at it normally) the blacks aren't nearly as gray as engadget portrays them.

I will still be getting this phone in a heartbeat and selling my AMOLED equipped Nexus one on launch day.
[HD7 General] diversificationied:
Engagdet is a joke for reviews of anything.

The'll gobble dicks all day long for "previews" but when it's time for reviews, it's like a complete 180.

criskelo... I tried this and I didn't get anywhere :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaira:
I had the same issue and it took me 2 hours to resolve (with a lot of pain, lol).

I've simply flashed the XWJM8 version using odin 1.3, no pit file and HENCE no repartition ticked.

It then booted to recovery console, because there was another error (can't remember which one cause I was too excited).

Anyway I did a wipe, cash clear and reformat SD card at the menu and let it boot.

After that I have flashed the latest version XXJPY also without PartitionInformation Table. (PIT). Then all the wipe and format stuff again.

I have now to go from scratch to setup anything again, but hey, at least my phone is alive again.

Some additional info. I also had that connection symbol on the screen with exclamation mark and triangle....so I thought I was done (due to trials with pit 512 which hung), but after removing battery and some trials I was able to enter download mode again....

Why happened that? I DON'T KNOW! I simply wanted to reflash the XXJPY stock rom, this time with pit512 and it lead to the topic of this thread!!!

This su**ed a lot, I didn't even modify something before!!!!

So: Less is even more! Don't fiddle with EFS and bootloader options it worked for me even without a pit!

Thanks to sardor for the initial idea, the XWJM8 seems to be a fixing rom for that when used properly, anyway to load a pit without to tick repartition is not a useful setting!

Well I was a long time reader at this great forum, IMHO the best regarding phone stuff, because there is the most useful knowledge shared.

I hope my first post will save other phones as well from sending it to repair.

Thanks I'm happy again..(let's see how long it'll last..lol...)

bricked my samsung galaxys and recoverd it

Hi I had exact same problem I totally bricked my i9000 Australian Optus version

I used

I9000DTJG4 firmware Australian Optus

With pit 512

And odin3 v1.3

Got all the files from

samfirmware . com / WEBPROTECT - i9000 . htm

Had to sign up but it’s free

However following criskelo's advice I unchecked the re partion box in odin

Even though the site above tells u to check it

And it worked

Thanks for everyone’s help on this thread.

Without you I would have had an expensive paper waited

Also the reason I got here in the first place as because I messed around with lag fix in clockwork recovery when I don’t know anything about it.

I was lucky this time but it’s really not worth playing around with things you doing understand.

I was messing with Darky's Rom which alway cause problems for me and found myself in the same situation as the first post.

What worked for me.

JM8 (2 files = code to PDA - Modem to PHONE) + Repartition + 512pit

after reset different error so goto download mode again then:

JPM + 803pit

Default OS reconfigures, Thank Fook:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycanuckeh:
Awesome, thanks buddy! I have spent too much time trying to fix this phone and it all totally pays off now!

Here is the fix for the Bell firmware:

Background info: I orginally tried the Lagfix and bricked my phone, this is how I finally fixed it...

1. Using Odin v1.82

Put Phone in download mode

Use PDA: I9000UGJH2

Use Phone: Modem.bin

(both files came from samfirmware, I9000UGJH2 download)

Use: 512.pit(also from samfirmware at the bottom of the i9000 page)

Check Re-Partition, Auto-reboot, F. reset time, phone EFS clear and Phone bootloader update. I know everyone above says don't but I tried their way first and it didn't work, I would recommend you do try their way first and if no results try mine.

2. Using Odin v1.82

Put Phone in download mode

Use PDA: I9000UGJL2

Use 803.pit

Check only Auto-reboot, F. reset time

Good luck! I hope you do your happy dance like I did!!

I use Droidwall, and if I forget and install a new app I go through a "Why doesnt this work" then remember droidwall, open up that app, and it does.
