Ok I got it to load I think. I had to set the directory. But now it just sits at the black HTC screen and then restarts. What did I do wrong now lol. Also is it normal to have wp7 running without an sd card in. Cause I flashed it without an sd card in. I read that its better to install without sd card. If so ways the point of all the partitioning. Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Not sure whats wrong with the build... it may need to be edited to run from magldr. But about running wp7 without a sd, it'll run fine, but then you have no memory to install anything or do anything with the os. If you check, you probably only have about 10mb of memory left if you are running it without a sd card. That's why we're partitioning the cards, so we can give wp7 some of the space on the sd card and leave some space for android to run from.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reds28heem:
Ok thanks. Just realized that once I took two pics of my son and it said low space. It says on the page that his rom can be ran from sd with magldr. But I guess I did sumthing wrong. Wish I could get this partitioning thing right. I can't understand it to save my life lol. I have 8gb sd.

Read this thread starting with post 235... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913815&page=24

Post 235 has the basic directions, but instead of making the unformatted partition primary, you have to make it logical at first and then later use the minitools partition manager posted later in that thread to change it to primary. But it has to made logical at first to work. But read from that post up until end of thread and you should have a pretty good idea on how to partition it with just one card. It only ends up taking around 10 min or less when you do it right.

I searched and found all different answers. If I tether my G1 using a different app that requires root...will t-mobile be able to differ between the stock tethering app and a market tethering app? If they can't differ, I wouldn't be charged extra...right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
So far I haven't found any definite proof on the forums. But most of the complaints I've seen were from people using the stock froyo tethering feature. So I guess if you use a 3rd party tethering app you're less likely to be caught. And anyways you should use 3rd party tethering apps because of the extra features they have.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr10000:
I have been wondering the same thing.. I have been using a third party tether app to allow access to my ipod touch in my car (dont feel like buying another adapter) and i stream pandora through it and so far have not been caught or charged extra.. But like with anything else here use at your own caution. As long as your not downloading torrents, movies, etc, things that are large amounts of data you should be okay x)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12unk13astard:
Tmobile doesnt charge you for overage of your bandwith, just throttle you to edge speeds after your cap is exceeded.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr10000:
They dont charge you for overage but they can tell if your downloading large files which will lead to the suspicious that you are tethering and thus they will look up your account and determine whether you have the app or not and whether they should be charging you for the service..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12unk13astard:
Never got a letter from them in the 3 years i've been with them about any tethering/overage issue. They always just throttle you down to edge, since it's unlimited data for 10 bucks. Unless your on a different plan?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
On the $30 android plan, and theres something that says if you tether, you will be charged an additional $15/mth

So, had a talk with my TMO rep yesterday. I was bemoaning how the HD7 doesn't have a tethering feature.

go here and look at the second thread theres linke on how to setup and create ur own rom and a thew more
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Edit: Do this, it's even better. Use ES File Explorer, and go into the menu to enable root functions and read/write functionality. Once you've done that, push the little button on the top left corner so you are now no longer looking at your phone's SD card files, but rather the phone's system files. Navigate to your phone's build.prop file (I think it's in the system folder), and then click on the build prop. Open it as a text file. Scroll down and find the line that says: ro.opengles.version= and delete it and replace it with this line: ro.opengles.version=131072

Now whatever version of google maps you are using, you'll always have vector maps! Woohoo!

Old Method:

Ok. This is working fine on our Heros! I take no credit for it. Brut created a version of Google Maps 5 that forces it into vector mode. No more waiting for tiles to load! 3D works, tilting works, compass mode works.

Just download the APK in the 3rd post down, put it on your SD card, and do the following:

1) uninstall maps using titanium backup (or the market)

2) boot into recovery, clear the cache and dalvik

3) Reboot and install the new maps

4) Enjoy vector maps! :)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Cetus Corr:
I would love to have this too.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Can anybody try to get this working on our phone? Supposedly it is a modified version of Google Maps 5 that forces it to run in vector mode. Only problem is that it wont install on our Heros....can someone take a look?

Really want this! Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Cetus Corr:
Why wouldn't this work? Is it because it is too much graphically for our phones? Seems very simple though...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lows10:
IDK it installed for me on cm7 don't see a difference tho?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lows10:
The rotating map is cool but what is vector mode? Try running cm7 or a different rom cause it worked fine for me
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Here are some instructions that a kind fellow sent me. I haven't tested them out yet, but he asked me to post them. Hopefully they work! Your Maps.apk might not be in system/app but in the data folder. you'll have to cd to the right directory depending on where your maps are.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Draxy518:
Ok, those instructions worked. Installed just fine and the vector maps looks excellent.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kyouko:
You don't need to add any layers or enable anything to see the buildings if you have the app installed. Try opening up gmaps and going to Chicago or NYC and zooming in - you have to zoom in relatively close to the streets.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] OzPrime:
I got it to work here with the instructions.. so thanks! But I have a question:

Will the 5.1.0 update for Maps (just came out this week and added check-in functionality) overwrite this working version? Is this something we're going to have to deal with whenever there is an update from here on out?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] METHOD1911:
My update wiped it out.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Probably. I don't want to update, cuz I think it'll take away the vector ability. I'd rather just wait (since 5.1 doesn't add anything but "check-in" services for google latitude, which i don't use anyway)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] OzPrime:
Neither do I. So "do NOT update" it is.

This mod deos not work with non-rooted devices?

Brut's version was working very well for the non rooted devices too. Can some one post instructions on how to install this app on the non rooted devices.

To remove stock apps: I searched and found Terminal emulator and titanium back up, but these seem to work only on the rooted devices.

Or we all should wait for the Brut mod which works like a breeze

I don't think you can remove stock apps if you're not rooted. :(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thantos2024:
Reason gmaps doesn't run all features on certain phones is because for some bizarre reason Google decided that it needed opengles 2.0 compatibility to work. However the good news is that it goes by the version listed in your build.prop to enable it so you simply need to add the line

ro.opengles.version=131072

to your build prop and gmaps will enable all its features.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wjason:
I used Root explorer. Mount as R/W, long press on the build.prop and open with text editor. Find where it says OpenGLS and change the number. Back button, save changes, and reboot.

ES File explorer (free in market) should also work. You will need to go into settings and enable root and r/w permissions.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
If you want to do it from you PC, I used AndroidCommander. You could always use adb, too. First pull /system/build.prop to your PC.

I opened the file with notepad and added that opengl line of code to the end and saved.

Then just push back to /system/

If you use adb you have to use adb remount first
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] il Duce:
Just so people know, this isn't actually vector. Vector loads the map without the boxed lines, the build prop edit does allow the tilt feature though, even with the market version.

Alrighty, I'm not doing something right.

-I have the sdk on my SD card.

-Used Titanium backup to uninstall Maps.

-Booted into recoverey.

Then all hell broke loose. I think I hit the trackball with a knuckle or something. I did a hard reset of the phone.:mad: Lost everything. That sux.

However, I've rooted again.

Still have the sdk file on the sd card.

Once again uninstalled maps.

Now when I booted into recovery here's what was there.

CLEARSTORAGE

I pulled the battery to get out of it because I didn't see anything about clearing cache or dalvik, and I didn't see an exit. Am I in the wrong console or something? I don't want to mess with that one and end up hard resetting again, once is enough.

I do have ES File Explorer and used it to get to the sdk and try to install but it won't.

I fear I'm missing some small detail in this process. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
Are you sure? It is definitely appears to be rendering everything differently; street names and building names on my college campus change dynamically depending on what is in view and images are not downloaded as boxes like they used to be. My images pretty much match what I saw on Google's blog post about vector rendering.

Also, the cache images setting is now available in the settings.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] il Duce:
I agree. Anyway if you rerooted and have a recovery image, power off then hold home/power, should boot you into recovery, what you were looking at is the bootloader.

I am pretty sure. See if you agree. My understanding is our devices cannot render vector, my theoretical proof is the hatchmarked tiles that load every time the map starts, which is not vector. Also the zooming effect they describe (no blur) is not how mine zooms, and something about offline nav? I mean it all works quite well, and 3d tilt works, but I am near positive this is not true vector mapping Agree?

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/20...GoogleMobileBlog+(Official+Google+Mobile+Blog)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
Yep, I am pretty certain my Hero is rendering in vector mode. I don't see static image tiles like I used to. Street names appear and move dynamically on my screen based on my panning and zooming. Zooming in and out is more or less continuous and blur-free without having to redownload new tiles in between.

Before this tweak, street names NEVER moved, as they were static images and therefore unable to do so.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] il Duce:
Wait are you using this apk or stock with the build prop edit?

Edit: I tried both with the edit and they behave the same, both have the cache settings as well.

Edit 2: my multi touch zoom and 3d render as you describe, using the stock app, so we have the same thing. Maybe it is vector, who knows.

I tried to add it in 3 different spots and just got an error message when I tried to save the changes. Maybe it has to be in a certain spot.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
You probably don't have write access to the /system/ partition, which is why it's not letting you save/modify the file. Did you remount as read/write?

You can always adb pull /system/build.prop, edit with notepad and push back
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] AdRock02gt:
I'm still a noob at this stuff so here comes the stupid question.

What do you mean by remount as read & write? And how would I do that?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wjason:
You enable root access in settings (I think it's the last one in the menu).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] AdRock02gt:
I got in through the Root Explorer. I found the button to switch from RO to RW. Went into the prop build, added the line, saved, confirmed that it saved, rebooted phone.

he aint even rooted. god ppl dont read. dont even bother...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] LiquidSolstice:
Was there really a need to be brash? Not knowing how to mount your system partition as read/write doesn't mean you're not rooted. Most people who root their phones don't need to mount the system as read/write, and with regaw's rooting tool, they need to know even less about adb or root.

It'd be nice if you gave people a break on this forum, you tend to be really abrasive and demeaning, and I'm not sure why.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phillyman7200:
Just a heads up. Seems like some phones dismount as read write in es explorer even if its still checked. If you get the error simply go back to settings then root and uncheck and re check the bottom box for read write capabilities. Simple and worked for a few phones I know of
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] AdRock02gt:
If you would have read my earlier posts you just might have seen where I said that the phone is rooted. Quit being a douche.

FIX for build.prop not saving

I'm not sure why, but everytime I try to save the build.prop , It doesn't work and leaves the old ro.opengles= line. I am rooted, and I had ES File explorer mounted as r/w and super user was granted as I could tell from the little notif at the bottom when it's granted. Not sure why it's doing that. :confused:

EDIT: I found out how to save it if it's not working before. :D

1. First, even if you already have it enabled with root access, go to the ES settings and then Disable both of the ROOT settings.

2. After 1 second, Re-enable them.

3. Go back to /system and open the build.prop

4. Find: ro.opengles.version=xxxxxx

5. Replace that line with: ro.opengles.version=131072

6. *menu* click save

7. Exit ES File Explorer and reboot your phone.

8. Enjoy your vector maps :cool:
