[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkySlap:
I doubt we would see It. IT just takes a insaine amount of work to port different hardware makers roms to different hardware. thats why you never saw a sense rom fully running on motorola hardware. But you do see HTC Sense roms running on other HTC hardware that did not come with Sense (like G1 running Hero rom for example). You would have to reverse enginer the kernel, framework, and drivers to add the neccicary API calls.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
True, but I remember when Motorola first came out with the Cliq, they ported it over to the G1. :o

That is true thats where i got the idea from but for the new blur version
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
This would be soooooooooo badass. i HATE motorola phones, but blur is interesting :o touchwiz would be interesting as well.

I wish there was some super genius that could make this happen i mean its android development lets do something other than sense and vanilla lets develop
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
i think its because people who would actually port it is like.. 5 out of the 100 people who get on the mt4g threads lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
do you just have the various DX Eye LWPs or do ya have the Bootanimations to go with the LWPs?

I find it kinda fun to mess with folks at my local TMO store by booting up my Glacier and it having the Droid Pro Bootani, then having one of the modded DX LWPs and shuting down into the D2 Bootani. however I am partial to the Pre-release/Holiday edition Nexus 1 boot ani for my daily driver.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daprince047:
I just have the live wallpaper now

Someone needs to call dexter I would so donate 50$ for this project and another 50$ if it full works
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
here's the link to a .zip I just put up on megaupload with the bootanimations for the D2, DX and Droid Pro. after downloading unzip, select which ever one you want to use and install like any other Boot ani.

D2, DX and Droid Pro Bootanimations
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daprince047:
Thanks I'm going to download it now
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
no problem man, I get bored sitting in my truck waiting to get unloaded so I troll around the other boards looking for bootanimations, LWPs and such that work on other phones and try'em out on mine if they work I keep'em and use'em to play around pushing and pulling in and out of various ROMs.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantOwnr:
i really like the touchwiz idea....i would do it...too bad i dont know how:eek:

Dude everything motoblur is cool from boot animation to system sounds to live wallpaper widgets screen setup launcher what way better look up Droid x on YouTube and fall is love
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoneyjonez:
Dude the actual moto blur service sucks, doesn't push the way it should. Just extra bulk... only my opinion.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
Okay, motoblur from the high end devices like droid x like the othe person was stateing would be cool. blur from like.. the backflip lmao what a waste xD a blur rom without bloatware sounds fun :o
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daprince047:
Yea that's what I mean Droid X Rom the other blur versions are bad I admit that

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] martintzvetomirov:
After a lot of browsing through the source code of Android I was unable to find any methods that would allow recording from the system audio output. Only recording from the MIC is available.

So do you have any ideas (maybe via NDK) how to make recording possible from other sources (system out audio, FM radio, bluetooth headset)? Is there any way to utilize /dev/audio without rooting the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] habnefrage:
Hi together,

I am using sipdroid and I love it.

But most of the time I am out of WLAN coverage but sipdroid keeps trying to connect.

I was wondering if there is a software that can start and stop apps based on my location. JuiceDefender for example can trigger actions based on locations.

Is there such an app?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austontatious:
So my power button all of a sudden broke. It won't turn off or on, the only way to power the phone off is to pull the battery and it turns back on by itself as soon as I put the battery back in. Doesn't anyone have any ideas? I've already done a factory reset, didn't change anything. Also, it doesn't work to select anything in recovery. So my 2nd question is if anyone can tell me how to flash the stock sprint rom so I can take it in and get it fixed?

.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
Use the ruu it will run in windows
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakobrmc:
Same thing happened to my phone. Damn cheap power button. Was waiting for cm6 to work with the new version hardware. Now that it does I will be doing the same.

What I have been doing as a work around is using widget locker to remap the power button to the volume key. And have a screen off widget. I don't mind it but can't do anything in recovery either anymore. So I am gonna take mine in this weekend. I believe they will give you a replacement phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austontatious:
FYI - I got thinking that maybe it wasnt a hardware issue but maybe software - and it would have to be something higher up than the recovery system. Anyway, the button started working again and while it was I flashed a new HBoot thinking that maybe it was a corrupted driver or something. It seems to have fixed it, but YMMV.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You can use the ruu to restore our but it will most likely still show s-off in the bootloader. You can fix that by using adb in recovery mode to flash unrevoked forever while in the recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oklahomatulsa:
Need help folks. Tried to partition my new 32gb microsd via ROM Manager and now my phone wont boot up. I can't even get it to go into the "recovery mode. It is just stuck on the Vibrant samsung screen. Any advice is greatly appreciated.:D

Not taking any original credit, but:

I had a similar problem and recovered nicely with some good help. See my thread at:

Tried to Odin several .tar and .pit files ultimately the Original.tar and ****512.pit worked. It helped to update the drivers and reboot computer, etc. I think the all_in_one package with the files I used that worked were from this thread (although I tried so many things):

How do you flash if you CANT GET INTO Recovery mode?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Try download mode.

Take out battery

Connect USB from computer to phone hold both volume buttons

Then put battery back in.

It should be in download mode. If its not then you need a jig.

I have no experience with jigs but they will work
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
With odin. Use the direction about this post to get to dl mode
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oklahomatulsa:
Thanks to jumaaneface

since you already have the original jdf.tar im assuming. all you need to complete the equation is the froyo that doesnt brick as a few others have already said. you will lose everything on sd card.

step 1: load up ODIN

step 2: select the pit file that you have already

step 2: select eugenes froyo.tar as the pda selection

step 3. turn off phone and take battery completely out

step 4: plug usb cable into phone and computer (battery must still be out)

step 5: push and hold both vol +/- keys and insert battery.

Step 6: if done correctly, you should know be in download mode (yellow triangle, actually says downloading lol) if not repeat steps 3-5 until successful then continue to step 7 (one of the com windows should light up displaying com:4 for example but could be any number..

Step 7: select repartition, auto reboot, and f. reset time. NOTHING ELSE.

step 8: click start.

Step 9: assuming that it doesnt hang anywhere, the blue progress bar should slowly continue to move until finish and phone boots into recovery (probably gonna through an error. doesnt matter)

Step 10: battery pull

Step 11: repeat steps 4 and 5 now

Step 12: this time select same pit file

step 13: for the pda file select ...uvjdf.tar (the one you originally tried to flash that landed you in this situation).

step 14: uncheck repartition this time. (only f. reset time and auto reboot should be selected)

step 15: click start.

Step 16: if it hangs, repeat steps 10-15.

step 17:it will reboot into recovery. then select reboot phone now.

step 18: assuming that all was done correctly, you should have your phone back exactly how it was the day you bought it, minus the sims3(sacrifices):D:D

[POLL] Which gsm hero rom is CURRENTLY running on your phone?

Choose one and we'll see what's going on in the world of our little gsm heros.

I don't see a poll like this for gsm hero - certainly nothing with current roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] saj222:
Good idea for a poll! I too would like to know what is happening with our little Hero(s).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
thanks :-)

I decided to limit to only one answer, what's running right now, since many of us nandroid and flash regularly we could end up with the 5 or 6 most obvious answers all being voted for by everyone. to me that's just silly.

at least this is scientific: if not absolutely indicative of everyone's favorite rom, at least it's indicative of the current choice.

Could be used for a trend chart if in the future we do the same poll again and compare results.

happy to see people posting openly though of course
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
wow hahaha reload first page of gsm hero development forum and every rom thread's most recent post is my link to this poll.

I wanted to be fair so tried to post the link for every rom that is getting current thread discussion.

but no posts there after my posts, even after 15 minutes or so - I suppose everyone's here voting.

pretty much the results I expected aside from the mass of gb users!

surprising about rcmix and tegro - I know of some users of those roms currently.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
wow - you VR12 guys - you could consider backing up (using nandroid) and trying out RCmix or tegro. they're both much newer versions of sense roms that are quicker in some ways and also offer newer nicer features (newer widgets and other good things). but good that you're happy with vr12 still :-)

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Hey dkelley, long time no speak (again) :)

Interesting you mentioned VR12... I have been looking into security of the Android platform, and I would strongly recommend people move off Sense-based ROMs, and onto a Froyo custom ROM for now...

I am not at liberty to give details of the exploit (and I don't have full details), given most non-custom ROM devices will sit for the rest of their lives, vulnerable to this, but I understand that the 2.1 ROMs have some pretty serious security holes in the browser system, which appear to be better in the last set of sources I pulled from CM on the froyo tree (for FroydVillain 1.7.x)

So while it's interesting to see people still using VR12, I would suggest everyone on a Sense-based ROM moves to a "proper" 2.2 vanilla ROM. I don't think a Sense UI 2.2 ROM would be safe, so I'd discourage those too. It appears you need something CM based, and pretty recent.

As such, I would urge anyone using older CM-based ROMs (say from before November or October) to upgrade if they are concerned about security while surfing the internet. HTC don't seem to be interested in fixing the vulnerability, but I checked FV 1.7 and it is not vulnerable to this one attack.

If you support the idea of HTC being pressed into updating their phones (remember that EVERY user of the Hero, who isn't on a custom ROM, is vulnerable to any security exploits, which will not be fixed unless they do an update), then check out http://bit.ly/fDGHPV, where I am trying to get some support together before I contact HTC and mobile carriers.

PS Don, I seem to have derailed this a bit... :oops: Figured it was perhaps best to post this in here, since there's no point in making a new thread that we want to get many people to do, and you already did the "donkey work" so to speak. If this derails the thread, I'll sweep it out into another thread if you want ;)

Hey Pulser

surprised you didn't send me a warning for spamming the same post linking to this thread in like a dozen gsm hero threads within 5 minutes yesterday LoL ;)

Interesting, and a little scary, what you're saying.

But being the scientific (and slightly cynical) type I tend not to believe anything without either proof or at least further information.

I'll read up on it some - but can you summarize the possible type of damage? such as gathering of private data by parties who know about the exploit? or damage to the phone via intentional cause (again by parties in the know)? or what
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spikey68:
I went back to Cronosproject 1.7.2 from gb beta 6. Even the massive headway they made thus far has been awesome with Fee and Ele together I can't see how it can be made as good as 1.7.2. Its way behind on performance and hogs memory with the minimum system and regular apps installed. The battery seems awesome but not much in there to use it. I'll wait till full release or stick with this rom. I can have a desire on wife's upgrade but I fancy something more now.desire is very quick.

V1.7.2 Cronos® Speed Machine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
agreed but give it time, and disagreed about "hogs memory": using the available memory like crazy is done to speed up performance, it's not hogging anything in a bad way. when something else requests memory that memory is freed up.

gb's memory manager is years ahead of it's predecessors

but yea, it will take a while.

Note - it's at 0.0.7 now and has everything working except camera which they're working on. performance is always improving, all sensors work now, and it's pretty amazing.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spikey68:
I just need a more stable build for now dude. Grafix and app issues made me revert. I'm sure with input on Cronus now they will make it much better. They need to get used to each others methods of building. I love it on there and not many will give it the dedication that Feeyo puts in. Ele is not dissimilar so expect great things. The futures bright :)

V1.7.2 Cronos® Speed Machine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
agreed. was just correcting you about the memory hogging thing since it's a good thing not a bad thing.

edit: well, not agreed about stability LoL. sorry I keep doing that :-). I'm running it and have for days and it's super stable. gui speed has improved a ton now too. you wouldn't know you were in such a new rom if you tried it on my phone cuz I disabled the animatinos etc very carefully in various settings places and use LP and so on.

BUT for me the fastest rom is still cronos eclair lite - it's gui, with LP, is noticeably faster than with other roms. If only it wasn't 2.1 based (with it's EXCEPTIONALLY slow and crappy applications manager and so on).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spikey68:
I just had fc's with too many things. Neo, quad, then regular apps and no market. With minimal apps it was slowing right down. I figured that no matter how good the memory allocation manager if you don't have the physical memory the manager can't work right. I'll wait. Do you have basics like market working?

I never had any kind of lag with 1.7.2. The GUI is awesome. It benches close to the desire.

V1.7.2 Cronos® Speed Machine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
everything's workign perfectly, no FCs, market's been fine for several versions now for most of us. everything except camera apps and certain specific graphics apps work great now.

neocore's broken, doesn't matter of course, same with quad, it's not relevant to anything. They're apps designed for certain operating system versions and hardware and the hero running gb doesn't fit the bill. those are are irrelevant apps that can be dismissed.

I play lots of games and they're working just great. all productivity and utility apps are great.

audio and multimedia stuff are fine too. not really sure where you were getting FCs but it sounds like it needed a new wipe and reflash possibly.

but then there's that strange thing were not every rom works on everyone's hero - I'll never know why, but I swear it's true :-)

apps2sd and so on are working now (with a patch from elelinux). there's something that's slowing down the gui and animations still, and I accidentally had my gb phone running super fast in those areas when my app2sd flash borked. So I know a solution is possible to that last little bit of performance...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spikey68:
Weird dude. I haven't had time to go through the thread but I will now and go again. I could swear I full factory reset and wiped everything.

I had a long week with kids but thanks, I wondered why it was so bad.... but it wasn't! And no mention of my probs!

Taxi for spike...

V1.7.2 Cronos® Speed Machine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
haha - well hopefully it'll work better for you now than it did before. you will find slow gui screen animations at times though so it's worth disabling all of that and using launcherpro (if you can find launcherpro anywhere considering fede's rather frustrating emergency issue at the moment).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spikey68:
My launcher pro plus backup will work wont it?

V1.7.2 Cronos® Speed Machine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
should, yes. as long as it's version 8.2 or later. earlier ones will be very very bad to run at this time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spikey68:
Cheers D K

V1.7.2 Cronos® Speed Machine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Hey.

I laughed :D

I can't give proof of it working, as the exploit hasn't been released, but for a good reason. The Hero and many other devices are sitting on stock ROMs, which will never be fixed. As such, I do not have any ability or wish to reveal the specifics. I know some more info about how it works, but responsible disclosure states that this should not be available or shared, given users will permanently be at risk from this.

That's why we're trying to get HTC to take note and realise they need to update devices regularly.

Nevertheless, there's a video of the exploit occuring on vimeo, which shows the file get uploaded to a remote server.

The details of the risk are as follows:

1) User visits website containing this exploit. The vulnerability is used, and the ability to access files is gained.

2) If the path to a file is known, on the sd card, it can be uploaded to a remote server without your consent.

Any file with a known name could be accessed from the sd card, as we understand. For example, photos on the SD card use predictable names, so they are fair game to steal.

So yes, while android is an open platform with public bug trackers, there's still security issues that need to be kept quiet to prevent undue risk to people. If the exploit code was published, everyone on stock ROM is at risk. That's a lot of people. Anything you know the name of on their SD card is fair game to steal...

Here's that video... It shows the basic concept, but it's not categorical proof, so please everyone, don't start going, "oh, he could have saved that file on his server beforehand..." Watch it if you want.

Hope this clears things up. As for a CVE ref, there won't be one, as that would involve it being publicly known, which isn't the case, and won't be the case.

This isn't the only exploit out there... I found a few more elsewhere, but again, you won't get full details and code, as that would be irresponsible until HTC gets their act together and issues security updates regularly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
Wow - I totally get it. scary stuff! Is it something that could be avoided through alternative apps in sense roms or (from the sounds of it) is it fundamental to htc's network libraries?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] QuAn64m:
where can i download the cronos roms?i think i am blind?please send lind in pm ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
It's part of the stock android system, and it's well built into it...

It's nothing to do with HTC's stuff... Just that they need to update their devices.

An alternative app could remove one attack vector, but you would still be vulnerable through at least a couple of other exploitable methods.

As such, basically, stock users are stuffed from this perspective, as are those using Sense UI based custom ROMs (afaik)
