[Desire HD Themes and Apps] apprentice:
I love the glossy black buttons on the new HTC Blackboard theme but I hate the stupid chalk lines that outline some of the frames elsewhere.

Is it possible to remove them somehow?

How do we create our own themes I wonder?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Evostance:
Easiest thing to do would be to pull the themes/files from the phone and edit them.

Only issue then is that the phone has a read-only /system so we can't put them back on. Wonder if we could run them of the SD card or fake a HTC Hub method of installing them
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] v-b-n:
Can you point me to the location of these files...I'll take a look since I am on HD2 with DHD ROM and can play on the sdcard
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] appelflap:
It's just one apk file and it is called BlackBoard.apk. It is located in the /system/app directory.
[Android Apps and Games] tomacro:
Is there any other app that is the same,just much better then fatty booth?
[Android Apps and Games] danchappers:
There's a zombiebooth although I've not tried it myself though
[Android Apps and Games] Mitty1990:
There is also an age one and some other celebrity one, fatty booth is the best though the zombie and age ones are bugging as hell but still good if you get it to work right :)
[Android Apps and Games] faethor88:
Fatty booth and aging booth from greg holland are the best.

I know that there are several apps called fat booth or similiar also face melter.

But take the ones of greg :)

I recently got my hands on a CDMA HTC Hero, and because of the HTC crapware, installed CM6. The device is activated, but it will not connect to EvDO, only 1xRTT.

Running Cyanogenmod-6.0.0-Heroc

Baseband 2.42.01.04.27
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
sounds like a problem with the rom.

Sorry, This is in the wrong forum. Should be in the CDMA Hero one.

Bootloader Progress

You understand by trying anything mentioned in this thread that I, nor anyone else including XDA-Developers will be held responsible for anything that may happen to your device

24/10/10

So far we are able to access the Bootloader via the normal HTC method:

27/10/10

Due to NAND control we aren't able to use ADB in recovery mode. However, we are able to update from update.zip on the SDCARD.

28/10/10

darrenjdoc is going to download Clockwork Mod and let us know if we are able to load it up.

Its a long shot and probably won't work, but whats the harm in trying

Confirmed not working

29/10/10

Currently looking at extracting the recovery image from the device and rebuilding Clockwork Mod for it.

i wonder what simlock does hmmmm :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Feel free to try that out. Dont blame me if it bricks your phone though :p
[Desire HD Android Development] AndyCr15:
What happens if you select 'Recovery'? Do you actually get a recovery mode?
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Dunno, but i tried it and I think its wiping my phone lol..

Ive got a phone icon with a ! in it

I think that is recovery mode :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] appelflap:
Great job! Thanks for experimenting with this :D
[Desire HD Android Development] AndyCr15:
Ahh, isn't that what the Desire used to do? I'm fairly sure it is. Paul O'Brien then figured what file to push and it would load into a decent bootloader. I guess this will be possible at some point again then...

I think your data is safe. I 'think' (but don't know for sure...) pull the battery and boot and you should be fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Yep, I pulled the battery out and im back in it
[Desire HD Android Development] subz85:
Yup, same as desire. Hold the volume up for 3 secs then tap the power allows for a custom recovery via update.zip? Clockwork time :)
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
You mean volume up and power button.

I'm not sure if clockwork works trough this recovery tho, adb should have root access I guess.

edit: a friend of mine had a HD, lets see if we can brick it. But first research what others already know about the G2 and what this eMMC is...
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Ummm just gave me
[Desire HD Android Development] crypticc:
does G2 do all this already? just wondering if this is a clue whether this is way around NAND lock on desire HD that may not be available on g2
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
We just need a S-Off version :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
And a way to get it to the phone :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
And how would we do that ;)

With a S-OFF we can full root the phone? Just a noob question, trying to understand what lock HD have... also all HDs come with that? i have read that just T-Mobile have this.
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
You think S-ON bootloader would allow flashing test and older versions of ROMs?
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
No but mayb edit it so we can flash the s-off bootloader like the Desire

Didn't you post the test roms on here xmoo?

UPDATE:

Tried on Desire HD now,

The command from here:

http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision/HbootAnalysis

Does nothing on the Desire HD.

It accepts the command but nothing.

Update:

When u do it you get an ERROR that's all that comes up
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
What does the error say
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
from my understanding, all his findings haven't been posted yet. The people on the G2 forums are waiting..
[Desire HD Android Development] l1nuxfre4k:
i've posted them here :p

dude it says ERROR

thats the only thing it says,

if it sad other things i would have typed it :)
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
yeah i know about that, but i thought that we would need more.
[Desire HD Android Development] RD1945:
So, the Desire HD is different from the G2. Bummer.
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
hmm i thought it was the same??
[Desire HD Android Development] RD1945:
If the commands from the G2 are not working on de DHD then it's not the same.
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
well its not working on the G2 yet either. Finding out how to switch S-off is just the first step, there's still more to be done. Well at least that's what i gather from reading the G2 thread. I could be wrong. Either way im confident we'll have root eventually.
[Desire HD Android Development] RD1945:
Ah, I see. I think we have to wait quite a bit for this one to be rooted (no worries here though).

It's kinda like the Playstation 3 :) only I think we don't have to wait THAT long.
[Desire HD Android Development] saquib:
Apperently eMMC protection has been broken (on G2 forum and on twitter from Paul O'Brien). Think that means we can permenant root!
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
great news! now someone apply this on the DHD :D
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
Check the emmc thread.

Temporary instructions posted. Recovery will be upped in the evening.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Great news! Didn't you already port clockwork mod? We technically should be able to flash custom roms should we not?
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
I used the wrong offset. That is why.
[Desire HD Android Development] low-dogg:
Good to see you here lee!! Hope you will do as fine a job on the HD as you have with my Desire:-)
[Desire HD Android Development] :
DOes anybody know if someone is working on the recovery either now??? before we all go crazy and start modding our phones to death, I need a solid backup image :):)
[Desire HD Android Development] teihoata:
Koush just tweeted that he was going to add support for the desire hd/z for clockwork mod. Paul o'brien just sent him the kernals he needed apparently
[Desire HD Android Development] :
great :) once the custom recovery is completed, there is actually a compelling event ot replace the BL with S_OFF bootloader :)

[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
no it does LOL tried it.

just flashed test roms recovery image back after it failed..

i used cwm to flash mt4g

i am setting up my linux to try build cw recovery

btw unyaffs work for anyone???im trying to unyaffs system.img
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Is anyone able to give a brief report of where we are up to?

We've got permaroot and A-off, I guess that means were just waiting on a recovery img to be able to flash custom roms?

Is clockwork mod a custom recovery img or a bootloader that will let us flash unsigned?

Someone correct me if I am wrong as I'm not sure what's what now
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
well i just woke up and i have a few things to sort out before i give the build a go.

someone on the other hand might beat me.

we have permanent root as write protection has been switched off and SU has been pushed. we have S-OFF, an engineering SPL. we are waiting for a custom recovery image as we can then make nandroid back ups, flash roms, mount ceretain partitions etc etc. clockworks mod is a recovery.the other one is RA Amon's recovery but neither have been built for this device yet. a bootloader is what you flashed to get s-off :P

you can flash unsigned anything really as you have s-off but needs to be in a particular type atm, i.e. system.img data.img radio.img boot.img and all will go through fastboot.

the recovery allows "noobs" an easy way to flash via a .zip update file rather then going through fastboot.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Excellent reply. Cleared up a lot of confusion. Thanks :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
excellent news, i had contemplated trying to get it sorted myself, BTBH I havent got the skill requisit to allow anyone else to trust there phones to my code
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
I concur, thanks for the clarification
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
no problemo :) i just got home and still need to sort a few things out before 7(GMT) so after that i will be in full attempted of building the recovery. i will try it out on my phone first lol i have no fear of a brick its only the recovery partition which i can revert back to stock if things go wrong :)

im not a developer of any sort, i have some linux experience i can "modify" stock roms and add a few tweaks which are basic stuff so yea don't expect too much form me :P if i do it it will come. im sure others are working on the same :)
[Desire HD Android Development] no1male:
So being a relative noob, I have perma root and now I do not need to do anything until a recovery is available? No need for me to mess with S-off as some guy has brick his phone trying it.

Never seemed this hard on the hero ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
he hasn't bricked it because of playing with s-off

he bricked it because he flashed a recovery.img to the hboot partition i believe.. unlucky him but once you get s-off DO NOT UPDATE. i stress no OTA please. if they send a newer hboot it will over write and lock you down

the main thing is being extremely careful when flashing hboot!! i seriously can't stress that enough. once the hboot there thats that :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
That's something I was wondering about.

Hopefully, custom ROMS will remote this so people can't lock their phones down.

Basically, if there is a OTA update, we have to wait for a new ROM featuring this update to be released and then flash by CWM
[Desire HD Android Development] bratfink:
Desire hd has clockwork

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkiTmQ55cQQ

I just found this video? It mentions an XDA dev so it must be around here somewhere!!
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
Personally I expect any OTA's prior to the release of Gingerbread are gonna be bugfixes anyway and they tend to hit AOSP first so hopefully the ROM builders will hit them first, looking at Cyanogen's twitter I hope that the G2 stuff will be ported to the DHD as soon as a recovery is available
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
niiice fake flash ported on/built for this device.. awesome :)
[Desire HD Android Development] :
well, thats how we ran the recoveries on the Motorola milestone, as an update.zip :) so yes, max a port
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
The tool, which is not publicly available, is prototypal: unfortunately we don't know the release time.
[Desire HD Android Development] bratfink:
Real

I can assure you that it is very real and that exactly how most clockwork recovery images are done these days (its safer as its only a 'temp recovery image') same as many devices like MM and SGS. Looks like we will have a recovery image very soon :D!!
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
no, really its called fake flash lmfao for the orignal desire modaco and koush did that and it was called fake flash. then unrevoked came

i assure you I BELIEVE YOU ITS REAL. the name of the thing used..

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...unching-recovery-on-your-device-without-a-pc/

there if you don't believe me :P

EDIT, its for the desire yea not the desire HD so don't try it lol
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
what's this about fake flash?
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
I don't know lol. I just took that comment from the youtube video description
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
its a clockworks mod recovery but not actually written to the device itself. in a form of an update.zip and then you boot into recovery and select flash update.zip

and you get into clockworks mod magically lol

ok the person who's made that mod can name it what it likes in all honesty but the originals name was that. i was just pointing out. i wasn't calling the video a fake lol
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Gotcha, I thought you were saying it was fake, and then I saw you say it wasn't.

Thought you were on something xD
[Desire HD Android Development] bratfink:
I obviously misinterpreted your use of the word fake, yes i now can see it is rather awkwardly named 'fake-flash', and someone posted about it not being ready for the DHD but for the desire, i am aware of that which is why i stated that it is yet to be found on xda. Also at the end of the video it is explained that the CWRM (Clockwork recovery mod) is a beta and still under development. But it seems functional and thus should be available to us soon. I have great ambitions for development on the DHD.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
We all do mate. Especially after this nexus s fail. (plastic_no_thank_you, ladies phones should not be allowed to carry the nexus brand)

Means I will keep my DHD for a while :)
[Desire HD Android Development] bratfink:
100% Agreement

I could not agree more, and for so many reasons!

1. Why degrade the quality of the flagship phone to plastic

2. WHY SAMSUNG!?

3. Wouldn't al the snapdragon optimizations in froyo now be wasted

4. Devs would start building apps on a phone using most probably an SGX PowerVR which is different to the bulk of android phones using adreno so it would make things more difficult for developers

5. Just the lack of consistency from google by going to Samsung and using drastically different hardware is making me think, are they really stupid enough to do this?
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Ok guys anyone is working on Clockwork Mod for Desire HD? When can we expect it?
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:

[Desire HD Android Development] RaiderX303:
it may boot clockwork recovery, but it wont be able to flash anything without completelly rebuilding the recovery binary as currently all phones that run it use yaffs2, but the DHD,DZ and G2 use EXT3 file system, so flashing a rom on clockwork would fail as it wouldnt find the system partition
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:

Also clockwork recovery is ready I think:

http://a.yfrog.com/img80/3584/l5yd.jpg
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It may be the work in progress version of the CWM, which cannot flash you anything just yet. Also you have to keep in mind how easy it is to fake something like that, take this for example:

That is completely FAKE, I did that myself a few minutes ago. See if you can distinguish my work from a real clockworkmod running on a phone :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Sure, but the previous screen was tweeted by Paul so I don't think it's fake ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Oh, right :D

Well, anyway, you cannot know whether it is fully operational yet.

[Desire HD Android Development] nickwarn:
I have searched the forum but cant find i straight answer. When Clockwork recovery is ready, will it be enough with permroot to flash custom roms or do we need S-OFF?

beacuse with the old Desire it was enough with just root. I also have had the Galaxy S and Samsung also locked the write/system to only read/system but we could still use Clockwork recovery. So any answers?
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
You will need S-OFF to even flash clockwork, so no permroot will not be enough.
[Desire HD Android Development] liorra3:
Grrr great work like hallways can't wait...
[Desire HD Android Development] paulobrien:
Not entirely true.

You can use the module to flash clockwork without s-off.
