yea so I'm wondering how do you edit a android xml file exactly ?
[General Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
An xml file is just text and some formatting. You can edit xml files with any text editor, even notepad.

For this kind of thing, I recommend PsPad...it's free and is able to handle the formatting/tabbing of all sorts of files.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samlh4:
Okay - I admit it's been a while since I programmed anything, but the desire to root my HTC Hero (Sprint) has brought me back into the game.

Thanks to the recent patch from HTC/Sprint (I have the 2.32.651.2 build#), I can't do a simple root using Androot or Unrevoked or z4root, etc.

Plus, since I have Win7(x64), I have serious difficulties reverting my phone back to a previous issue (the lovely USB error issue that comes up with the RUU flash). I tried replacing the driver and no luck.

So - I tried going the more fun, extended route, using SDK. Now - even though I have the latest version of JDK - the SDK installer is not recognizing JDK on my system. I've searched through the Android developers forum and even Google admits it shouldn't be that difficult and they'll work on addressing it in an upcoming release.

WTF?!

I'm starting to think I might have to venture into the bowels of my garage and dust off the old XP box... I'd rather avoid doing that, so any assistance y'all can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Right click on the RUU.exe and run as an adminstrator. Some have also run it in WinXP SP3 compatability mode. It's been a while but when the phone reboots and you get the blank screen followed by the USB error, disonnect the USB cable from the phone for about 5 seconds. Plug it back in and you should get the white screen with 3 androids at the bottom. Close the RUU and reun it again. It should recognize the phone and update.

I remember it being very frustrating but it did finally work. Good luck.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moxlon69:
This isn't really the place for this, but these questions have already been covered, many many times..

Rooting instructions. I know this works on the latest official sprint, because I've done it successfully.

As far as not being able to RUU, some people have an issue running the RUU if they haven't ran HTC Sync. Try that and see if it works, and if not, follow this method.

HERCIMG-2.31.651.7.ZIP download it. it's the Sprint 2.31.651.7 executable but in signed zip format, for people who aren't running windows. Not sure who actually converted the executable to a signed zip, but props to you for helping those that can't run the regular RUU.

Rename the file to HERCIMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card.

Power the phone off.

Press and hold your Volume Down button, and while still holding it press the power button to power your phone back up into HBoot mode.

HBoot should then automatically verify the zip file, and ask you if you would like

to flash it. Press your trackball to confirm the update (downgrade in this case),

or press your send button to cancel.

Once on 651.7 you would root as normal, but you should not have to RUU back to 651.7 just to root.

I know I had a version of Microsoft VM on Vista, but it seems under Windows 7 it will only work for the top end (professional/Enterprise/Ultimate)? Home premium and basic versions will not run VM.

Microsoft also (for those running pro/enterprise/ultimate) offers "Windows XP Mode" for free, if your system passes WGA. just google windows xp mode and it should pop up to the microsoft site that lets you download all of the required files.

I installed it on my laptop and desktop, and it runs fine on both. (Better on the laptop, actually).

Same issue

I had the same issues when I tried to run the RUU and revert. Basically I had to download the HTC sync first and let it do its thing with the drivers and such. Then I went back in and ran the RUU, it got to a point where it was stuck, I forget exactly which point, but you will know. I unplugged the phone from the computer and closed down the RUU and reran it and it went through. Its kinda weird, but will work. I am also running Windows 7 x64...

This is what I had to do, too. I'm running Win7 x64. Each time I would run the Sprint RUU 2.27.651.5, it would get stuck and error out on when the phone reboots to the bootloader. Once that happens, leave the phone alone, but unplug it from the computer, plug it back in and re-run the RUU. It works.

I've done that twice to my phone in the past week.

this was what i followed i can't remember if i did the clear storage thing or not:

"What worked for me is taking out the SD CARD.

Connect USB.

Turned off the power, then held VOL DWN & POWER.

When bootloader starts, click on CLEAR STORAGE.

Hi, I just flashed 6.1.1 and I really rely on the fact that my Facebook Contacts can sync with my GMail to create one big list. In the contacts app I see both groups just as I need. However, if I download an app such as GO SMS which replaces the default sms client, the only contacts recognized are that of Gmail and on my SIM card. The facebook contacts will only appear as numbers. Now having over 500 facebook contacts I cannot just add them all thats ridiculous. But, if I go into the default SMS client then the contact appears with name and picture...

Any ideas as to what's wrong?

[Fascinate General] thephatp:
So, I'm pretty new w/ Android. Just flashed with voodoo lag fix D02-Kernel-LV-1250 using Dirrk's instructions. This means that I did the following:

- Rooted (was already done)

- Installed CWM (from instructions here)

- Downloaded D02-Kernel-LV-1250 and put on SD card

- Rebooted to CWM and did a backup

- Booted into recovery and flashed kernel

- Rebooted

Now, I see that DJ05 is released. (I even see stuff about voodoo lag fix for it...didn't know that was available.) So, now I wished I hadn't installed voodoo lag fix, because I hear it is difficult to uninstall.

I've tried to do my own research here, but I really don't want to change messing up my phone, so I'm asking for help here. Here are the threads I have sifted through:

- http://www.fascinateforums.com/foru...oms/685-instruction-remove-voodoo-kernel.html

- http://www.fascinateforums.com/foru...everything-you-wanted-know-about-kernels.html

Questions

What is the trade-off b/w D02 and DJ05?

If DJ05 really has the lag fix, is there any benefit of staying on D02?

For future reference, how do I know what kernel version I am using (Voodoo4 vs Voodoo5)?

Understanding what I've done above, what do I need to do to get to DJ05?

Do I really need to flash to stock and lose everything to get there?

And if so, can I use the backup I made in CWM?

If not, and I have Titanium Backup installed and all apps/data backed up, does it matter if I have to go back to stock?

Sorry for the newbie questions for help, but I really want to make sure I do it right. Any help is greatly appreciated.

FYI, this is what I've looked through for the new stuff available (should I go with the last link?):

[Fascinate General] devlp1213:
1. D02 is just the kernel version and DJ05 is a firmware update so there is really no comparison here.

2. updating to dj05 is worth it because it fixes several issues with the phone.

3. the only way to tell between voodoo 4 and 5 is to read which one you are downloading

4. it's a good idea to do a full wipe of the phone before updating to dj05 and your nand backup before the update will not work properly because the new kernel doesn't work with the old firmware.

5. if using ti-backup then yes wipe

to remove voodoo go to the voodoo folder on you sd and make a TEXT file called disable_lagfox.txt and reboot then LET IT FINISH COULD TAKE UP TO 20 MIN IN SOME CASES so wait it out don't pull battery no matter what.

when you update use the stupidfast kernels if your afraid of messing up your phone don't use voodoo it really is more of a power user option. didn't answer everything on order I know lol but think I coveted most of it
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
I'd like to add that in some cases the disable_lagfix method might not work. (It's supposed to be disable_lagfix, not .txt and not lagfox lol). In my case, it ran for nearly two hours without doing anything. Don't worry, if it takes that long just pull the battery and use ODIN to return to stock (from Adrynalyn's thread). But obviously make backups before you try to disable voodoo.
[Fascinate General] devlp1213:
lol yea disable_lagfix sry swype error haha and the .txt will be added guess I just was thinking about doing it pc side I'm use to putting my own extension sometimes.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyRasa:
Hello everyone.

Now I know this question has been posted before but I didn't get enough help from that so...

Let me explain what I've done...

I appreciate all of the work that the Devs have done, however, I would

love to help them.

I decided to try and build my own ROM. Unfortunately, I'm getting stuck and

am not sure how to proceed.

That is why I am here. I was hoping the wise devs here on XDA could help me

along this path I'm taking.

Here's my goal.

Build a 2.1 rom from source. No modifications at first.

Run this on an Emulator to see how it runs.

Then run it on my phone.

Here are the steps I've taken:

- Installed Ubuntu

- Installed jdk1.5

#sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

-Add these lines

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse

-Save and exit

#sudo apt-get update

#sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk

#sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun

-Install the dev tools

# sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev valgrind

# cd ~

# mkdir bin

# curl xxxx://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo

# chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

-Get the android source

# cd ~

# mkdir mydroid

# cd mydroid

# repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b android-2.1_r2

# repo sync

-Download the samsung files from opensource.samsung.com

-Search for SGH-I897 and download the tar

# cd ~/Downloads

# mkdir samsung_files

# mv SGH-I897_OpenSource.tar.gz samsung_files/

# cd samsung_files

# tar xzvf SGH-I897_OpenSource.tar.gz

# tar xvf Platform.tar

-Merge the files together

# cd ~/Downloads/samsung_files/Captivate_eclair

# rsync -a --stats --progress dalvik/ ~/mydroid/dalvik/

# rsync -a --stats --progress external/ ~/mydroid/external/

# rsync -a --stats --progress prebuilt/ ~/mydroid/prebuilt/

# rsync -a --stats --progress vendor/ ~/mydroid/vendor/

-Modify the BoardConfig.mk

# sudo gedit ~/mydroid/build/target/board/generic/BoardConfig.mk

-Add these lines

BOARD_HAVE_BLUETOOTH := true

BT_USE_BTL_IF := true

BT_ALT_STACK := true

BRCM_BTL_INCLUDE_A2DP := true

BRCM_BT_USE_BTL_IF := true

-Compile the ROM

# cd ~/mydroid

# make update-api

# make

Now I browsed through the out directory after the Make was complete

and found some .img files:

ramdisk.img

system.img

userdata.img

userdata-qemu.img

I don't have anything for a Kernel and am confused as to how to

take these files and make a .zip that I can flash through CWM

Any direction from here would be greatly appreciated.

i.e.

How to make this run on an emulator.

How to turn this in to a .zip to flash through CWM

Also some tips on modifying the ROM would be nice :)

So I am trying to deduce whether or not my expectations of battery life are unrealistic or if I possibly have a handset issue. If I purchased this at a store Id go swap, but grabbed it online via Radioshack and I have to send it back leaving me with no phone.

My radios, NV, PRI etc... are all updated to the recent. I have tried Myn's and various other ROMs and they more or less produce the same results. I have also used different kernels. All my testing have taken place on ROMs that do not have much installed nor configuration changed much from stock. Yesterday I calibrated the battery, wiping battery stats. Hit 100% at 7pm, I browsed the web, used XDA app and made a phone call that lasted for 2 hours. By 10:42 I was at 32%. Granted this seems a bit drastic to me but assumed since I have just went through the process I have to wait a bit.

Before this I was only getting about about 8 hours before I needed to charge. After typing this and thinking bout it, there does seem to be an issue with my device but for all who have owned the Evo for a bit, what should I be expecting for use?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Expect 8 hours from a stock battery unless you are only using 3 screens and have checked menu, about phone, battery, running services. Also go to wireless settings and make sure always mobile on is off. It made a big difference. Last but not least, turning off the 3g or 4g when you aren't using it REALLY HELPS. Just got 19 hours with it.
