Just checking details: /sdcard1 would not be a real folder.

/sdcard is the folder where the recover and update.zip files go.

/sdcard2 is the external microSD card slot

You didn't say but you must have CWM (clockworkmod) if you partitioned. CWM .08 works.

Put "recovery" with a "command" file edited to point to /sdcard2 -- along with the CWM update.zip file on the root of the microSD.

If you can hold down the power key long enough to get the unit to shut off, the put in the external microSD with the CWM stuff on it and do the power/Vol+ recovery start.

If it loads CWM, then you will be back to a point where you can load something that works using CWM.

If I am not mistaken, this ROM is still a beta version. So these bugs are to be expected. You can post on the thread and the OP should respond to you.

see the rom may not be for usage purpose doing it was not at all a good idea .u can try using se pc suite and enter the firmware upgrade mode then connect to the p and then automatically the pc suite will regonise your device and will downgrade to 2.1 which would be functional .

it happened with me too

Has anyone else heard of this program MartView? Apparently it lets you download magazines for free and read them on your computer. I'd like to transfer the files to my Nook so I can read them later. Problem is, I have downloaded the program but it won't open. I've downloaded and installed it several times. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
The program is really nice. But there doesn't seem to be an Android version as of yet. The magazines are stored in C:/My e-books but they won't open with a PDF viewer. You can however create .mart files from PDFs and other file formats. The nice thing is that it'll open PDF files and in a very nice way too.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] natoe33:
Allow me to clarify. I have downloaded and installed it several times on my PC and it won't open. I even click on the .exe file and it won't start.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
When I installed it both home and work comps the firewall asked me to allow it or block it. Maybe you're not seeing that window which would give the appearance of the program not starting.

I would also try running it as administrator.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] natoe33:
I'll have to look again. I don't recall seeing any pop up asking for anything like that though.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foofiebeast:
So when I started using my phone I was thrilled that it took my gmail contacts and the pictures I had linked to said contacts, automatically into my phone. Especially because with the picasa face finding feature, that can then automatically add pictures to your gmail contacts, it just worked very easily.

However, I recently started using twitter and for some reason the phone decided to replace a lot of my contacts pictures with their twitter pictures, which in some cases is just the default blank twitter profile egg thing. This is very annoying and I can't seem to get it to go back to the gmail image, even if I'm not displaying twitter accounts in my contacts list.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8Danes:
Have you tried turning off the sync contacts setting in your Twitter account and resyncing your gmail one?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] harryhh:
I am new to Motorola Milestone and need some info and hope this forum can provide some answers.

The latest X10 minipro update update from SonyEricsson lock up the system and made it unrootable, you have to downgrade and then upgrade again using a rootable version.

My question is, will this be happening for Milestone if i upgrade or update from Motorola website ?

Thanks for the help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] geevee11:
Yup! Actually, I think you will lose root in any android phone that you will update.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] harryhh:
Thank you geevee11 for the quick reply.

my next question is, is there a generic rootable version of the latest update available so that i can update to the generic version instead of from Motorola site ?

once again, thanks for your help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
It depends what you mean by latest update?

Motorola has not updated its Eclair (2.1) ROMs in a while.

We are about to get official Froyo (2.2) updates from Motorola (Q1-2011, so the next 2.5 months).

Most people install whatever ROM they want, downgrade the recovery (by flashing the vulnerable recovery only SBF) and then Root from inside their OpenRecovery variant (GOT, Androidiani).

The GOT Froyo leak SBF already includes a vulnerable recovery.

Many ROMS based on Kabaldan's CM6 port (based iteself on the AOSP) already have root.

Did this answer your questions or confuse you?
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Hey guys. I've finally bit the bullet and moved on from the Hero. My new phone is the LG Optimus S. The one thing I'll say to you guys is if you have an available upgrade but don't want to pay some bullcrap 4G charge and a few hundred bucks, the Optimus S is the way to go. With the stock ROM, it's already snappier and quicker than the Hero, even overclocked and with CM. My sister has my Hero, and as of tonight we're not really on good terms with each other, so I doubt I'll be able to contribute much to the Hero anymore.

So with that, I bid you all farewell.

P.S: I'll still be on XDA though, don't worry about that!

From HEROC to EVO SHIFT

This has been a great experience for me and my HEROC. Thanks to all the DEVS that supported this phone to the end.

I have recently upgraded my HEROC to a EVO SHIFT. Hopefully, I will see some of you over the Evo Shift Forums and we could all start over.

Looking forward to rooting, roming, and to the development of this new phone. I'll check back once in a while to see what kind of progreess the Heroc is getting.

Take care y'all...
[Hero CDMA General] :
I'd consider an Optimus S if there were forums for it on XDA.

Is there CyanogenMod for it? Custom Kernels? etc....... :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
Awesome! I am awaiting arrival of my Optimus as I type, come on UPS :D There is already some development as far as rom and OC Kernel happening. First thing I want to try and mod is getting Firerats to work ;) I am happy to see your grabbing of the Optimus S, I seen Deca tweet something about possibly grabbing it too! Join the forum if you havent already, Thunder Rom looks to be fastest!

[Hero CDMA General] steindog99:
Just ordered an Opt. S today also. Did a lot of soul searching before I did it (trying to decide between OS & Evo) and I just couldn't look at myself in the mirror paying the extra $10 for non existent 4G...
[Hero CDMA General] :
Thanks, I almost forgot that there was a world outside of XDA :D
[Hero CDMA General] HEROEVO:
You? Create trouble? No! Never! Not you!

:D
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
That'd be awesome if Decad3nce joins the Optimus S boat! Really, I don't even see a need for overclocking the Optimus S (sad to say it). Undervolt would be nice, but not an overclock. Everything already runs so smooth and snappy, it feels like what Android is really supposed to be. I've been running live wallpapers and ADW Launcher, and the scrolling is SMOOTH, no jaggies or anything. If you're looking for a regular 3G Android phone on Sprint, the Optimus S is the way to go.

I'll go register on Android Central so I can start with that :) I was thinking about seeing if I could compile AOSP 2.3 for it, so I'm going to try my hand at that :)

EDIT

I think gbhil has the Optimus S too!!

[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
Well I have had my optimus S for a little over 1 hour and this thing is pretty bad ass! I hit 1262 in quadrant, I can play Angry Birds in REAL time, LOL. The phone has a good feel in my hands, like the hero does. I only wish the screen were the same, but I will get over it. The custom rom "Thunder Rom" is fast, I will make some edits of course. Who knows if we can get enough users maybe we can get Cyanogen Mod for it ;)
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
The only difference is the screen is made of fiberglass instead of actual glass... But believe it or not, I kind of like the fiberglass better. The screen is slicker even without any oil on it, unlike the glass screen.

I'm going to see if I can port my CyanogenSense theme over to it :)
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
you gonna try a webos port to that phone too? :rolleyes: j/k ;)

enjoy your phone, im sure glad i dumped my hero when i did and got the evo. people are dropping like flies around here. ive never seen soo many people leave a phone in a little over a years time. that goes to say alot.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
yeah but you better look into a screen protector real quick.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Haha no webos. I'm going to stick with Android since it actually runs good now.

Yeah, I have a feeling that if Sprint gave better support for the Hero and din't just dump it, people wouldn't have left so fast. Believe it or not, the Optimus is just as snappy and quick as my friend's Galaxy S... It's remarkable when you go from the Hero to another phone, because you can actually see how Android is supposed to run. I don't even need a task killer anymore, since the Optimus doesn't slow down at all.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
yeah my evo was a HUGE upgrade for me. but we are moving to tmobile next month and the g2 or nexus s is calling my name. :D

i almost looked into buying the optimus s but i decided on the evo instead.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Yeah, I'm going to look into a screen protector I think... Maybe not though, since I have Best Buy insurance on my phone (no deductible, unlimited claims :))
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
look into a phanton skinz, they are awesome and only cost about $7 for two of them. keep in touch bro, you were always a level headed dev on here.

im sure xda will add a optimus s section soon. there's already a request thread for it.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Thanks, I'll look into it. I always try to sort out situations in the least-angering way and keep a sense of professionalism about the work I do, mainly just so everything works nice. But my nature (IRL) is pretty much like that too... I'm carefree for the most part and try to help people as much as possible.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
the minute the evo was announced i knew it was the end for the hero and i was right.
[Hero CDMA General] wireless.praying.mantis:
What's scary people is corporate retail Sprint stores down here in the SE are still selling the HTC Hero for $150 AFTER a $100 MIR WITH a 2 year contract. I honestly can't see why anyone would buy one when they can purchase the HTC EVO Shift 4G for the same price (I know $10/month extra for Premium Data) or the LG Optimus S for $50 after $100 MIR.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I hear ya. I saw that too when I visited the Sprint store yesterday. I was like "Seriously Sprint"? If anyone here works for Sprint, tell them to get there stuff straight and stop trying to rip customers off buy selling the Hero.
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
The Hero is so 2009! lol Just becasue it was phone of the year doesnt make it worth what they are asking. I would rather get the Optimus than the Hero, no $10 fee, and it WAY faster :D

The only thing hero related I am going to miss are these forums and the countless things we have to flash!
[Hero CDMA General] Kfunk:
I am really missing my Evo now :(
[Hero CDMA General] steindog99:
See you guys on the Optimus forums tomorrow when mine gets here! Really don't want to have to spend time on android forums, but until there is one on xda i guess it will have to do...

Probably gonna put my Hero on eBay starting at $.01 and see what happens...lol!
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
LOL Thats what I did, started $.01 with a buy it now of $91. Comes with box/manual, otter box case, and car charger,

Use z4root to root it, faster than the adb method :) I uploaded here, look below.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Yeap, z4root works really quick and flawlessly. It even has an option to disable ads :)

BTW, keep your eyes peeled on AndroidCentral... I'm currently cooking up a ROM for the Optimus :)
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
Sweet! I cooked one from that community rom, but I am having signing issues. The recovery doesnt work like clockwork does, flash unsigned :( What are you using to sign stuff?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Well, I'm using ThunderROM as a base, but I'm pretty much replacing a ton of it with some of my own goodies, some stock stuff, and some tweaks. I'm also optimizing the whole ROM (ThunderROM is not optimized as far I can tell).

EDIT

Have you figured out a way to edit .PRO files yet? Once I figure those out, I can start theming. It seems that lge-res.apk in the /system/framework folder has icons such as signal, and 3g, etc.
[Hero CDMA General] scifan:
I flashed my Hero back to dead stock before getting my LS670...

Today I sold it on Craigslist for $110 cash... :)

Some interesting observations about the Optimus S...

I have a Droid X for work... and an Optimus S for personal use...

The optimus S is rooted... is running nrom on it (set at 600/245) and it is VERY smooth...

The Droid X is not rooted, and runs rather sluggish.

The Optimus has 600mhz + 512mb ram... the Droid X has 1ghz + 512mb of ram...

The Droid X rarely has more than ~ 90mb of ram free

The Optimus usually has between 150 and 270mb of ram free...

I'm VERY impressed with the Optimus S. I wouldn't have any qualms about recommending it to a friend... (I'm sad I didn't get the Galaxy S phone for work... however, that still wouldn't have 2.2 on it)
[Hero CDMA General] scifan:
Just rename .png to .pro..

AFAIK, the only images I've really altered in the lge-res.apk are for the signal strength...

I haven't tried ThunderRom... that could be interesting...

99% of everything else is in framework-res.apk... though to change the sms notification I had to alter the mms.apk file as well... :(
[Hero CDMA General] greengiant1969:
Yes I have moved to the Evo today but I want to thank all the developers for their time and effort on working with these roms. I enjoyed having gingerbread on my hero.
[Hero CDMA General] BronYrAur:
I too bought an Optimus on CL and it's a smooth little phone, I don't notice any lag even with some live wallpapers running. I wish the internals of this phone were in the Hero though, I miss the trackball and screen surface of the Hero.

[HTC Aria General] TybaltX1:
Hey all,

I searched around here and didn't find anything. But is anyone else having issues with the calendar widget? I can't get any of the events to show even by setting visible and sync. I'm using cm6.1.1

On my aria

Or if there is a better widget that works too.

Thanks!

-urzu

(side note: just want to say how awesome this forum is and how good the devs are! :))
[HTC Aria General] GroovyGeek:
Which calendar are you syncing with? Google or something else? CM does not work with HTC sync so you will need something else to sync to Outlook. In the 30 minutes I had CM on my Aria last week I could not get it to log into my Google account either.
[HTC Aria General] TybaltX1:
To get it to sync with google you have to flash the separate gapps. And yes i do have that installed with all the correct settings for sync. It apparently only shows the next one event(Which i wasn't used to coming from sense lol) That's why i was asking if there is anything comparable.

Other than that the cm mods are great!

I'm certain this question has been posted a few thousand times. But I just got an HD2 again. I've been away from this scene for about 10 months. I was here for the beginning of the SD card integration Android when things didn't work well. I'm back with a HD2 I got from a friend. It has windows mobile 6.5. And I don't even know where to began to get Android on this phone. Here's the info that may help me get pointed in the right direction.

OS version 5.2.21913

Manila version 2.5.201814240

Rom version 3.14.531.1

Radio version 2.15.50.14

That's what's on the phone currently. I tried follow a few threads but they all turned out to be a dead end until I change my SPL version. If anyone can at least get me on the right track so I can at least make some progress that would be great.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayWheelz:
I agree with you on that.

This is what I did to fix my issue so if someone else had the same problem they can hopefully find the right answers.

My issues was having SPL 2.10.000 on my phone.

I needed to install 2.08.000.

All i needed was to download HSPL3 and then follow the apps prompts and when the options for 2.08.000 SPL or 2.08.000 came up.

I chose the 2.08.000 SPL and it changed my SPL to 2.08.000.

That allowed me to follow DFT tutorial for installing android.

Otherwise it wouldn't allow me to progress forward with my old SPL 2.10.000

Because its easier to point out to look for it then it is to actually do teh work for them and find it.

It will be better for the OP's in the long run if they learn to look and find the information they want/need instead of posting questions and relying on others. As teh OP stated he foudn what he was looking for and probably learned something in process of doing so.

The best way to learn all the processes is to do research and not to simply create a topic every time they want info.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
It still does not help the forum in the slightest. If you have nothing constructive to say then you really shouldn't say anything.

Think about this... If it hadn't been for my comment about unhelpful responses, the OP may never have posted his findings, so you could at least think about encouraging them to do that in the future.

Now, if someone finds this thread through a search they'll find some solid information, not just someone saying "search the forum".

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
For NAND Android you need 2.08.HSPL not 2.08.0000

Run HSPL3 and select 2.08.HSPL

Make sure that the RADIO on the phone is 2.08.50.xx or any .50 above.

With regard to your friend's phone, if they want to do the same, then they have to flash the phone with an 2.08 or 2.10 ROM, as this will bring the SPL down to where HSPL can be run. HSPL doesn't work with SPL 3.03 (which comes with the 3.14 ROM).

I have flashed back to the stock SPL and ROM, but I only have one question. My HD2 is a t-mobile version, and I noticed that it originally had a t-mobile splash screen instead of the HTC splash screen. Since I have a t-mobile version HD2, will I need to flash back to the t-mobile splash screen before I send it in for warranty so they won't suspect that it has been flashed? Let me know ASAP. Thanks!
