[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobyz:
My wife uses a Hero.

When she got it we synced it with pc-outlook and got all her contacts and calendar on it.

But while using the hero for several months without paying attention she added new contacts as “gmail” contacts and added new calendar entries as “My Phone”, instead of “PC sync”.

Now none of these new entries can be synced with outlook and what’s worse, if I want to change the rom I don’t have a way to get these new entries back to the phone. I know I can sync the gmail contacts back to the phone but she needs them on her pc as well.

A second problem is that after each outlook sync some of the original outlook contacts are duplicated. Erasing them doesn’t work since after the next sync they all come back. Some are 8-10 times over…

So:

1. How do I sync “gmail” and “My Phone” contacts and calendar with outlook? Can I change them to “Pc sync”?

2. How do I get rid of the duplicates once and for all?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chikara71:
Hi All

Been a regular reader but just joined now.

Anyway I've been trying a few custom ROMs out on my rooted HTC Hero (GSM)... many have some very good things, but many of the 2.2 ones don't have some of the features or apps I loved from 2.1, especially some of the HTC sense, or some of the apps.

So, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a custom ROM that can do/has the following:

- Based on Froyo 2.2 (want to try out the supposed performance improvements, new UI, later version of flash, etc)

- Needs the Apps2SD functionality (I believe all 2.2 based Roms have it)

- I really like the HTC flip clock/weather widget, with the animated weather as in 2.1..but haven't seen it in 2.2. Is it not available anymore? Anyway it could manually still be added?

- The 2.1 weather app.. where you can add multiple locations. 2.2 only seems to have weather/news which I dont like as much.... the option to see weather in different locations just by scrolling down was great. No other options in the market seem to do this as well, either

- In fact - most of the original HTC widgets available of on the Hero I would still like

- The 'Stocks' app found in earlier versions is missing in 2.2. I really like this app, as it's the only one I have ever found that you can add many quotes, and will work well with non-US countries (like Australia/NZ sharemarkets for example). But, it's not in found in the market and doesn't seem to be featured in 2.2?

- I also liked the way that when looking at 'people', it would summarise 'events' like birthdays and give me a taskbar notification. The 2.2 Roms I have tried so far, don't seem to have this same function anywhere..is it still available?

- I also liked the previous 'my contact card' where I could store my own details. I cant see this in 2.2 either is nit now gone? Would still love that.

Anyway, maybe I'm asking too much, but is there any custom ROM anyone can recommend, that is based on 2.2 but still has those 'good' bits from 2.1 or earlier?

Or, is there anyway I can add them myself??

I have checked out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889299

and others, but so far haven't found anything that quite has the above...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HomerJayS:
For the Flip Clock, you can search for Fancy Widget. In the current version, the autohor redesigned ist, but with you can find the older version here on the forum -and it looked exactly like the Sense flip clock! :) (what also explains, why that version was removed from the market by htc) As a bonus, I find it less laggy than the original one -therefore, it replaced HTC's flip clock on my homescreen :D

For the rest, I think, you need a ROM with Sense, as Sense Widget don't work on non-sense Roms...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfn:
I use fancy widget as well, glad I saved the .apk file :D

as for the sense like widgets you are better of doing a market search you might find some similiar to them.

or just go install the custom sense froyo roms although the camera or some hardware aint working on them
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chikara71:
Thanks, I found the older fancy widget apk so I will give that a try.

I guess I'm asking too much for a custom ROM based on 2.2, with all the HTC Sense stuff still working... will have to comprise somewhere.

I really wanna give 2.2 a decent try but a lot of the stuff I liked from 2.1 isn't there anymore in the ROM's I've seen.

Anyway thanks for the replies!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyyey:
the fact is mate you want HTC Sense on 2.2 (or sounds like that), which isn't a 100% stable port on the Hero (GSM) so you can have 2.2 working perfectly and use 3rd party apps like everyone else to get the same effect, or you can use a buggy 2.2 port of HTC sense, and live with it until someone makes a good port.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chikara71:
Yeah I wasn't too sure what ROM's were available and what they all could or could not do, hence asking for recommendations.

Anyway I'm trying out a number of differnet ones until I find the best one for me.

Think you're right though, 2.2 with Sense isn't really available/stable yet so I think a non-sense 2.2 with addons is the way to go at this stage.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yandef:
Hi,

I trye different ROM and i think a non-sense 2.2 whith an other launcher (like LauncherPro) is better than Sense...

The ROM TastyFroyo is the faster ROM but the screen resolution is not compatible with BeautifulWidget. (2.2 non-sense)

And the FroyedVillain is awesome too and full stable! (2.2 non-sense)

The ChocolateFroyo is a 2.2 with sense but i dut test it...

You have the rom in 2.3 too!!!

Elinux ROM and TastyGinger are great but still in beta...

If you rooted your phone using unrevoked 3.32 then ClockworkMod Recovery v. 2.6.0.1 was installed. That version supports Amend and Edify scripting. CWM above this version supports only Edify scripting. A lot of zip files are still using Amend scipting, and therefore you may have to revert back to version 2.6.0.1 and then re-flash the keyboard zip. See if that works for you. Unfortunately, right now I don't have the zip for CWM 2.6.0.1. Try doing a search for it and give it a try.

Haltol - APX mode is just a blank screen. You won't see anything unless your APX drivers are working on your PC and NVFlash is able to talk to the G Tablet. It's also not clear from your posts if you have a G Tablet or a ZPad - they are slightly different in terms of partition table structure - need to find somebody with a ZPad to tell you more about nvflashing one, or search the forum.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
this part ( --odmdata 0x3c300011 ) is the settings I believe for changing pieces in the BCT. You would need to research what the proper one is......and use the correct flash.bct and flash.bct files with the correct --odmdata command.

I believe this is what toasted one of mine...I can still boot (by forcing it with nvflash), I just can't turn it off or it will not turn back on until I nvflash it again. I don't remember what I used but I do remember the --odmdata being in it...I just don't know the correct bits to push.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
I have nothing I can do. Not included. not loaded rekavery. No load mode. I do not know what to do. Any ideas?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcgabriel:
From this page: http://tosh-ac100.wetpaint.com/page/Bootloader

"There is more dangerous command called --odmdata. It is some kind of fingerprint of the hardware and

enabled/disables certain hardware configuations. For example, the ODM 0x3b2d8011 data causes the HDMI port

to be used for bootloader display."

So you probably haven't bricked the tablet, but like tcrews suggested, you've pushed a command that has likely redirected the bootloader display output somewhere else.

According to the page linked above (which is for the Folio 100, another Tegra 2 tablet, but I assume the basic gist is the same?), bits 20-22 of the odmdata command control the display output of the bootloader. Not sure if that applies to the ZPad.

The real question is what is the default odmdata configuration for the ZPad, and if you push that in APX mode will you get back to normal bootloader function again (I'm guessing yes).

You might start by downloading the proper nvflash stuff for the ZPad:

http://www.ez-pad.net/android-1340-1-1.html The page is in Chinese, but apparently the links there point to the nvflash packages for the original ZPad.

According to that page, the odmdata setting should be something like 0xba0c0011 for the ZPad.

So... try downloading those packages I linked to, see if you can flash them from APX mode, make sure that they are sending an odmdata setting (if you don't see one in the batch file, maybe try the one I just read off of that page).

Let us know if you have any success with this...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
x2 on "--odmdata 0xba0c0011". That should be for zPad.

If you can get APX working again, then that should "fix" it I think. Suggestion: If you have an *nix box, keep trying this command:

lsusb

You want the Nvidia connection to have a "7820" (that means APX mode). This helps if you have no boot screen and you are just trying buttons blindly to get into APX.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
Hi,

Sorry for jumping in, but it sounds like the OP tried to nvflash the stuff from the 'generic' Nvidia Sdk to his Gtab? Maybe I'm misreading/misunderstanding, but if he did try to flash the Nvidia Sdk files, would anyone have expected that to work?

I mean that that has a different (non-Gtab, non-Malata) .bct, partition table, partition files, etc.?

Maybe I'm just confused...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
Are you positive that the device is not going into APX mode, you just can't tell?

On mine....the only way I can tell is to watch the activity of the USB port (either in Win764 or Ubuntu 10.04 (Virtual Box). Once the USB icon shows some activity I can nvflash. My device shows nothing on screen until I push the bootloader.bin over. No power flash, flicker, anything......

Just making sure you are checking your connection and using the proper key-sequence to boot to APX and not just watching your tablets screen.

Hey Roebeet...any idea what the default --odmdata is for the Viewsonic?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
Hi,

I can't find the link right now, but I seem to recall from one of the threads on the wetpaint.com website that someone had used --odmdata and inadverdently borked their .bct (BCT). I think that he said that he had looked at the BCT afterwards and found that the byte sequence (reversed-ordered maybe) that he had used in the --odmdata appeared at the end or beginning new BCT afterwards, so he hex-edited the new .bct then did a --setbct with the hex-edited .bct.

In other words, at least what I recall, the hex sequence in the --odmdata gets flashed somewhere into the BCT, so maybe do a --getbct on a working Gtab, and look at the resulting 4080 byte file with a hex editor?

I'll try to see if I can find the link later. Sorry.

I push recovery.img, have the files copied I need (vegan 5.1 and a kernel), install the rom, install the kernel and select reboot.
