Hey guys,

I am trying to install a shipped ROM I put the downlaoded zip onto the root of my SD card then I use ROM manager to install from SD card but when it reboots and tries to install it says signature verification failed. Whats wrong?
[Wildfire General] Pawnbox:
Try this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824396

For general help..
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
For installing Shipped ROM RUU's, Connect Wildfire to your PC, and run the EXE File. If you are using an Update ZIP from Shipped ROM's, do remember two things:

* All update ZIPs there are for the 2.2 OTA Updates. You will lose root and Clockworkmod Recovery

* The update ZIPs are for a specific base. Example: 2.25.720.1 can only be applied to 1.25.720.1 and so on. So, if you want an official Froyo, first, flash the official Eclair base, then, flash the update ZIP of that particular base.
[Wildfire General] -Howard-:
just toggle signature verification off in the install .zip menu, then it should work :)
[Wildfire General] AndroidMad:
I have tried to toggle the signature but then when I try to install again it comes up with another error
[Wildfire General] wocis:
maybe wrong download? try to extract the zip file.. or download it again.

I have had signature failed too, but disabling signature check helped me.

And when we using rooted phones, who cares about "right" signature?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Shipped roms (ruu's)come in .exe which are installed from your pc, not .zip, maybe you're being confused.

Are you trying to install a rom or a ruu?
[Wildfire General] wocis:
have this issue too, disabling signature verification helps, who care about signatures when we using rooted phones?

Maybe you have wrong download, try to download zip again.

sorry for dual-post
[Wildfire General] gzci:
maybe try another new rom
[Wildfire General] anoopbachu:
signature verification failed

How exactly you tried to install? Lol you should explain what you have tried and using what methods.

My Road to Becoming a Great Developer

Intro

Hello I am Kifno. I have had my HTC Hero CDMA for a short period of time and I've fallen in love with it and everything about it. I love testing out other developer's apps, tweaks, mods, themes, roms, kernels, etc. I also have recently gotten into the modding and tweaking aspect of our hero's too. Some of you may know me from my tweaked build.prop's. But I have decided that I want to be known as a great developer for the HTC Hero CDMA. I am going to keep this thread as a journal during my journey to becoming a great developer, posting what I have learned, accomplished, created, modded, tweaked, etc. that is making me one step closer to reaching that goal. Hopefully during my journey you all will appreciate some of my work for our HTC hero CDMA devices.

1/22/11

- Working on v0.7 of my tweaked build.prop's

- reading the c programming language (chapter 1)

My Work So Far

I'M ON A JOURNEY TO BE THE GREATEST DEV FOR THE HTC HERO CDMA

good luck, we already have the best dev's for it.
[Hero CDMA General] AspenTree:
I'm new to becoming a developer. My first piece of work is simple, editing the build.prop from other developer's roms. And I'm learning how to program and learn the c language and learning java so I can do bigger and better things for the HTC Hero CDMA. And as a matter of fact not only did I make a editing build.prop for aosp but aosp as of last 2 updates to his new gingerbread rom has implemented my editing build.prop into his gingerbread rom by default so I'm pretty sure aosp know's i'm editing the build.prop to make the hero better for the community. That is why aosp is keeping it implemented into his rom by default. Please be positive here I'm on a journey to become a great dev and all great dev's started small okay. Remember I'm NEW to becoming a dev.

Yeah I plan on sticking with the HTC Hero CDMA for a WHILE! :D
[Hero CDMA General] MrDowntown12:
No need to be negative guys. At least he's going out and working for it. That's a lot more than 90% of people here can say. Most are too lazy to learn and want others to do it for them. Really can't believe that on xda we have at least two guys who who would actually try and discourage someone from developing. I think you guys need to check yourselves. Pathetic.

To kifno, goodluck friend and best wishes! I can't wait to see what you do!

Sent from my 2.2 Hero
[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
Wow lets watch the negative.. Glad there are still people who want to progress the hero.. And he isn't taking claim of anyones rom he is editing the build.prop giving people some extra tweaks to make our phones quicker.. Kudos on your hard work kifno and there are some big shoes to fill around here and someone needs to do it.. I plan on trying but its hard to make time with life right now for me, so thank you for giving it a shot..
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
Darch was the greatest and I believe he retired the cdma hero lol
[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
Unfortunately for the hero I believe you are right..
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Fortunately aosp still has one. :D
[Hero CDMA General] sirmx:
No need to be negative.
[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
amen to that
[Hero CDMA General] androidnoob111:
I agree.... Good luck cant wait to see some more of ur work....
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
By the time he becomes a "great dev " he will be the only person owning a cdma heroc, 3ghz processors will be out lmfao
[Hero CDMA General] AspenTree:
not that i'm going to stop learning how to develope things for the hero but why does everyone have to just be so negative......i just want to help everyone :(

but i'm going to continue learning regardless of what others say :)
[Hero CDMA General] SimranSingh:
We aren't trying to be negative. Our point is that you haven't developed anything in reality. Just editing a properties in a file isn't developing, but it does take some knowledge to know what you are going to edit :D. Nonetheless, you are trying to become the greatest developer, but really you are in the 1st chapter of your C Programming book. It's going to take you maybe another 3 - 5 books to actually understand what's happening. Instead of striving to become the "Greatest" developer, why not focus on just becoming a developer at first ;)
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
I'm not being negative man were all just effin with you but cmon dude what you expect people to say in reality none of these guys care for this thread unless you are posting better roms then the ones that are out. Most of these people are just waiting on their upgrades this year so most of them wont be around when you finally put out ur first rom. I'm not bashing you I wish you the best of luck on your journey don't take everything so serious. The heroc will be a great device to play around with and dev things. Most devs mess around with themes first then put out roms etc. But once again people see threads like this and most of them don't care cause the best devs on this phone have been long gone and these guys were brilliant to name a few(I had my heroc since launch and saw many devs) flipz, damage, darch, zen, toast, decadence, avalaunch, aosp, konikub and a few more I'm sure I'm missing a few but can't remember all the names. Lol once again good luck
[Hero CDMA General] trip187:
There's an old saying...Hows it go again? There's always a bigger fish? I hope you figure out some totally new ****. This place ain't just about building bad-ass roms. You got recoveries, kernels, themes, apps, etc. The point of XDA, from what I understand, is about pushing our devices to their limits. But that's just me. I could be wrong

Sent from me using XDA App
[Hero CDMA General] :
Yeah I know that my first thing I did for the community wasn't anything that I personally developed. I just edited a file to make it better for our hero's. And 3-5 books?!?!?!?! :eek: That'll take a while but I'll focus on becoming a developer first that sounds like a plan :)

True before I decided I wanted to become a dev myself I just wanted people to post some bad-ass sense roms :) But something just made me want to learn and develope too. And yeah I heard of flipz and zen and toast..most of them :D they all inspired me to become a developer. And Yeah once I get my upgrade I'm going to keep my hero to play around with when developing things for it, once I am a developer that is :)

Thanks a lot :D
[Hero CDMA General] theSlack:
Perhaps the issue people are having is that the original post (and reserved spaces) seem boastful and childish.

It's a forum, post your developments when you develop them. Why do you need to build a big virtual fence and exclaim to us your intent to fill that fence with code?

sorry, but this thread should never have happened.

How frustrating. EVERY single thing I try to download says "download unsuccessful" - it's been like this for the past few days....I see the progress of the download then when it reaches 100% it says unsuccessful and the file is nowhere to be found!

I'm on CM7 build 13 if that makes a difference.

Also half the time when I download Market apps it tells me unsuccessful due to insufficient storage space. Is my phone broken?? :eek:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
There's a whole thread dedicated to the Market problem you're describing, I think there's an answer in it for you.

On the browser download, have you tried going to Settings/Applications/Manage applications, All, Browser and then clearing cache and data?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Thanks for the linked thread.

I have been clearing cache inside the browser app with no luck. Didn't think to clear data and cache from system settings. I'll give that a whirl.

[Droid 2 Global General] crawling:
Hi guys,

So I bought new droid 2 global from the US, unfortunately the sim unlock codes I found do not work.

Do you think if I loaded a non-stock ROM would solve my problem? for example Fission 2.4.3? or I'm stuck with a $400 brick?

Just to mention, I'm trying to use the phone with a Telstra (Australian) Sim card.

Thanks a lot.

Bob
[Droid 2 Global General] crawling:
Hmmmm it looks like the sim lock and ROMs are irrelevant. I thought the lock codes are kept in the ROM itself...

Any ideas?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
I have suggested on many ocasions trying a universal sim unlock on the D2G. These worked fine on many phones, including Milestone (1), I won't be surprised if it works fine on D2G. At least it is cheap to try - they go 5 bucks shipped on ebay.

Give it a go - worst case you are $5 in more than you are currently in. Best case - you get a working phone!
[Droid 2 Global General] crawling:
Thanks for the suggestion :) I will give it try, never used these Univirsal sim unlocks before.

Cheers.

Bob
[Droid 2 Global General] bfadewole:
Kindly let us know if it works for you.
[Droid 2 Global General] MGA2009:
What about a turbo sim??

Maybe that would work.
[Droid 2 Global General] swangotp:
The unlock code is tied to IMEI code. It doesnt matter what rom you have installed. If a company does not ask you for the IMEI then it is not a real unlock code.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Yes, that's just another name for the same thing.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Sim unlock module is not a rom but a hardware device. So called universal unlock sims or turbo sims are actually an addon which you add to your existing sim (stick underneath the sim card) and it acts up as a "proxy" which makes the phone to believe its got an "engineering" sim thus bypassing network restriction. Works on a vast amount of phones. I have personally tried on Motorola Milestone (droid 1 gsm) and it worked fine. I could have tried on the D2G, but unlocked it beforehand and now can't verify. I have high confidence it might work just fine on the D2g!
[Droid 2 Global General] benjar:
You could try Verizon Global customer support. Although I was in the first month of service when they gave me mine it's worth a shot.
[Droid 2 Global General] crawling:
Yeah I understand, but for example, on my Captivate, the unlocks codes are stored on the phone somehow :)

Anyway, I'm still waiting for the Sim unlock hting to be delivered, I will let you know the outcome. Would this "Sim unlock" affect 3G or Data capability? some people say it will only allow phone calls....
[Droid 2 Global General] supermanx8:
NICE.......

:D Let US know if it works!!! I was thinking about to get the turbo sim but could wait so i ordered the code from ebay.
[Droid 2 Global General] crawling:
No luck

No, The universal sim unlock didn't work... it still prompts for an unlock code... I'm not even sure that this universal sim unlock thing is working... it looks dodgy
[Droid 2 Global General] haroldz123:
i actually one from ebay but it failed

refunded and try other service but they oso gv the same code

so it is verizon locked

What this is:

Hi there. I know most people out there have newer devices and higher resolutions so my thread is aimed directly at people still using QVGA devices, specifically the Kaiser which is the device in which I can test.

Long ago I made a contribution to Bhar's series of ROM's and I just happened to try some of the newer 6.5.X builds and the changes from then still worked perfectly so I decided to make it public so anyone can use them.

I am in no way a good designer so if you have changes of your own or can contribute in any way please feel free to post as long as it is about start menus and lockscreens. If different cab's or cpr's are collected I will link them to this first post as necessary.

Rules:

Have a good time, no flaming, search, be patient, if necessary feel free to ask and / or help any other user.

Disclaimer:

I am not responsible for any damage to your phone :) you know very well we're all here to experiment and learn. If you need help with something outside the scope of this thread please use the search feature of the forum. There is plenty of documentation that can guide you through the process.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] tro:
Awesome!

Thanks for posting those cabs! Just what I was looking for :D I still do use an AT&T branded kaiser and hoping that some developers wouldn't forget about us :). If you have anymore updated tweaks please post them, as I still hover the Kaiser forums:) Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] WarByte:
You're welcome and I do appreciate the comment. I do not have more specific tweaks in mind right now but during my experience with the Kaiser I have accumulated a decent amount of knowledge that can be used. Most things in registry can be changed using Advanced Configuration Tool or I can make individual cab's, or make cab's out of things, or get things out of cab's. I guess my point is if you have something in mind please do tell me and I'll try to help. If something other than lockscreens and start menu layouts happen to appear then I can always modify the thread title.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] shutulica:
Themes or something...

Hi!

I`m new here so please be patient with me!

I have a htc tytn Kaiser and, also, I have a problem:

I want to make text and icons and everything larger on my display...you know, like in win7, for instance! I need to have this problem fixed because a Ihave some problems with my eyes and I have to change my glasses in order to see the small text and stuff...

I changed the fonts from medium to largest, but still I need larger fonts...

So, I believe there must be some themes or settings to decrease my resolution or... I don`t know!

Thank you in advance!
[Milestone 2 General] Cysign:
Hey Guys... don't know if my topic on off-topic makes much sense... so I'll link it right here as I'd like to get answers from MS2-users:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926288.

Would you advice me to buy a MS2?

I'd like to get a fast device, updateable to Android 2.3 when available (don't care about a few month...), hardware keyboard, 1Ghz, lots of memory, 3,5mm headphone-out

I'm (as I wrote on my topic) also interested in LG P990...but it has no hardware keyboard...and I don't know when it'll be available.

MS2 perhaps could be available tomorrow for me...

I'm not glad to read that MotoBlur sucks the battrie...guess it's not neccessary for me...
[Milestone 2 General] Shellite:
I just got the MS2, if I were in your position I'd be waiting another month or two and either getting the LG P990 or one of the other models currently prepping for release :)

MS2 is a nice solid phone, but I honestly doubt it will see 2.3, has a locked bootloader, is pumped full of useless MotorBlur apps and has no interest from ROM makers other than Angdroid.

After a lot of screwing around my phone is relatively motoblur free, but with the locked bootloader and Motorolas poor support in mind, I wish I had bought something else or waited :)

If only I had a time machine!
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
I have had my MS2 for over a month and it is a solid performer.

No need to worry about MotoBlur as it can be removed. I use Launcher Pro and froze blur with Titanium Backup, no problems.

It is fast and has loads of memory for apps.

As for 2.3 upgrade I have no idea when or if it will get it.
[Milestone 2 General] stephengc:
I've had my MS2 for a week now, and yes Motoblur is annoying, though I'm living with it for now. Also a few other niggles like the '£' on the keyboard actually produces '$'. But apart from that it is fast and feels really sturdy.

If you're not in a rush, I'd hang on for while to see what other phones come out with hardware keyboards or if any ROMS surface as there's definitely room for improvement, but it's probably the best thing out now with a keyboard.
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Sorry, out of topic, but how did you froze up blur with titanium? Show me the way =P

About MS2, just buy it if you really want the physical keyboard. It's a pretty heavy phone (not a problem to me, but others might not think that way) and blur is really a battery hog and poor designed homescreen, it lags for no apparent reason, but the good news is that any homescreen replacement fixes it. Pretty solid phone, but not to everybody.
[Milestone 2 General] Cysign:
since my Xperia X1's weight is 159g and Milestone2 is 169...weight doesn't matter for me ;)

good to know that any today-screen-replacement will deactivate that MotoBlur.

I guess I'll buy one :)

If I'm waiting for another good phone...i could wait for years... That earlier I buy a new phone that earlier I'm able to buy a new one xD

At least it has to rest for two years...and in two years I'll get a new phone with physical keyboard, hdmi-out and quadcore with a better batterie ;)

>>>So if I can't find out that it has legs like Xperia X1 (sometimes it doesn't do anything for about 4-10 seconds...) or lags playing music (xperia X1 has small legs of some milliseconds while using TCPMP...) I'll order it today :)

Since today it's out for sale on O2 Germany...but no dealer has it on storage :(
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
FYI - If you press and hold the £ sign, you get a popup with a bunch of currency symbols on it, one of which is actually a £ sign.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
Set up your locale correctly and the problem with pound sign and dollar sign will be corrected.

You can use Launcher Pro and a dozen other launchers so Blur IS NOT obligatory AT ALL.
[Milestone 2 General] kalbit:
Guys...changing launcher does not deactivate BLUR. BLUR is a set of widgets and system services and it's not that easy to disable it. One of milestone 2 subforums has a nice topic about disabling BLUR for real; I cant remember exactly where it is but there are not so many posts around here so far, so it should be easy to find

edit: found it: it's in general section and you can't miss it.
[Milestone 2 General] Cysign:
Du you mean deactivating or completly removing MotoBlur?

Removing should effect in lost warranty....and deactivating should be reversable?!

If I'll get a MS2....I'd like to use a docking station later on....and as far as I know, MotoBlur is needed for that docking station display mode?

hmmmmm...after MotoBlur is a battery-killer and with the encrypted bootloader...I'm not sure if I should wait for another device which fits to Android 2.3 specification and has a physical keyboard...

After the Xperia X1 I wouldn't like to get another device which needs hands on it to run fluently!
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
It has no lag when watching movies.

I came from Xperia X1 and was happy with Milestone 1 and now am happy with Milestone 2.

Home replacement does not really deactivate MotoBlur but even if it runs in the background you will see no performance degradation because of that.

You can simply use Titanium Backup's Freeze feature.

You can do either, the easier way is to freeze it with TiB.

Who told you MotoBlur is needed for docking station? I have a docking station and am using a totally different app then the one built-in.

MotoBlur has NOTHING to do with docking station.

You will not be dissapointed with this phone. You can deactivate MotoBlur and never think about it again.

Here is the tutorial someone else mentioned here too.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10800001&postcount=26

It tells you what services/ apps you can freeze/ delete. I delted some of them and froze others.
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
Can you be more specific. My locale is set to "English (United Kingdom)" and it enters a $ instead of £, and tabs instead of € which is what the Droid 2 does.
