This hboot thing -> what if my friend want to make me joke ->power+volume=FORMAT DIE?

Why there is no password to enter hboot ?

In custom rom.mods cynagogen or wildpuzzle -> is there some password ?

What if for eample my co worker or 'friend' want to make me STUPID joke ->

power off

and

power on + volume up so he enter hboot and format everything.

This is danger and stupid from htc if this is possible so easy to format whole phone.... and to not protect it with passw.
[Wildfire General] MadManMark:
Chances are very slim, and if you think this is likely to happen, get new friends.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
/thread. :D

Alternatively, keep your phone with yourself at all times if you are so paranoid. BTW, Don't be surprised now if some co-worker of yours decides to read this thread and perform this 'joke' on you. :D:p
[Wildfire General] xtam:
or on you :)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Highly improbable if not impossible. Because, my phone is always with me. Also, I regularly keep backups of the SD, Nandroid Backups, Contacts etc. on my PC, since I keep flashing Custom ROM's regularly, so, even if someone were to perform this joke one me, I am covered. ;)

Possibly that's what you can do too to cover yourself if you fear this attack so much. Keep backups of everything elsewhere. (Like, on a PC etc)
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
i agree with madmanmark, nice friends you have if they would do that.:rolleyes:

they would have to be reasonably knowledgable with htc for them to even know about hboot menu, and arseholes to wipe your phone.:eek:
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
None of my friends have a htc phone :D, and if they did, they wouldn't do that on my phone like that,i did let them borrow my phone during networking classes to prank ppl though, or access my fb and put gay statuses about myself.
[Wildfire General] Formiak:
I wouldn't happy it that happens to me :p however my friends don't know much about those things :p maybe few will find but i rather keep my phone at me :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] monkeyboy2009:
Does anyone know of any decent software I can use to play .nsv (H264 codec) streams on WP7? .

On Windows Mobile 6.x I used CorePlayer which worked perfectly. The look, feel and stability of WP7 is so much improved (took me a while to get used to though), It would be a shame if I have to keep swapping my chip over to the older phone to watch the footy while I'm on the move!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pietje_1985:
Hello everybody!

Yesterday I bought a Archos 70 IT 250 GB and I'm very pleased with it. All works like a charm, only, i'm using the standard Android keyboard, which is quite ok, but I would like to know if there are better alternatives??

Could anyone tell me their opinion about which keyboard could be better?

Thanks all!

Cheers,

Jeroen:D

I use the Swype Keyboard on my A70, and it's very fast. Thumb Keyboard isn't bad at last.

But I use also the standard keyboard.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ske714:
I like the Thumbs keyboard
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umberto.sulla:
SmartKeyboard in my opinion is best choice: mutitouch keyboard with lot of options, gestures handling and t9 support.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsusai:
Swiftkey here
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nspur:
I would love to get Flex T9 but the Market doesn't show it to me. In the meantime, Swiftkey is good and gets better as it collects your frequently used words that aren't in the standard dictionary.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronbl:
Ditto, it is also running great on my phone
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
How did you guys get swype working? It wouldn't run on my 70, I'm currently using the big thumb keyboard but would rather use swype, thanks guys!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
Update, I installed SlideIT keyboard from the market which is just like swype and that works great.

In landscape mode a tad bit of the end buttons are covered by the Archos home keys but they still work fine. It is VERY fast.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PotentChili:
Honestly I'd give this one a try -> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free

Make sure you set your language in the options, otherwise nothing will appear.

It's a very awesome keyboard and I can type much faster than the 2.2 keyboard.

Swype looks good but it doesn't work for me, tried latest beta.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
is this the same as beta3?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
CM7 Nightly ROM zip is a little bit smaller,maybe some little fixes

and updates there,but don`t know,not tested at the moment.

Nightly ROM has also the the other kernel "2.6.29.6-flykernel-12pre2"

Beta 3 has "2.6.29.6-flykernel-12a" kernel!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
But Flykernel-12a is newer than Flykernel-12pre2, isn't it? Also, could anybody tell me how nightlies work? Is it like you get updates pushed to your device through the CyanogenMod menu, like OTA? Please explain lol :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
12a should be newer,but don`t know why now 12pre2!

Maybe more optimized for CM based ROMs.

12a will be used soon if I read the commits at github:

https://github.com/loxK/android_device_htc_hero/commit/53b03bf186cd4a4d47b3604cd6290e8dc8cfdb1b

I believe it was something about CM asking for IPv6 to be build as module, while in 12a this is included statically (straight into the kernel).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I second this question. I've never used nightlies before. Could someone please explain how they work?:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Download and flash them. No OTA update (but its a great idea).

Wipes in between are not necessary but sometimes you need them.

Not every new nightly is better then the last one (performance).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1immortal:
i think that my Hero doesn't like these 2.3 roms ... i've flashed few of them, none will boot.

could it be the recovery or something ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Yeah. You need the lastest recovery 'cause of some drivers.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1immortal:
thats the one i'm running, and also tried the other one, from clockworkmod, same thing:

1. wipe EVERYTHING.

2. WIPE again.

3. flash the rom.

and .... nada, nothing.

even replaced the sd card, still same crap.

this Hero ran cronos twice, and since then... not a single 2.3 rom.

2.1, 2.2 , no probs, reflashed the radio, tried everything.

wtf ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Hmmmm maybe some are boot oc but i dont think so.

How long have you waited till you think its bootlooping? Do you only see the "HERO"-screen or do you see the bootanimation? keyboard lights are off all the time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1immortal:
can't even see the bootanimation. only seeing the spl logo, and it reboots there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
huuuuuuu crazy :D Okay sorry i dont know. You can create a logcat (dont ask me) and post it over the CM forum. Also you can tweet Lox and show him your log. Maybe he know anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1immortal:
or ... i could recreate the "will it blend ?!" with this phone ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes, woudl be recovery and your wiping within the recovery OR it could be a previous rom or something you did while using a previous rom that has somehow messed up one or more files on the phone. there are parts of the phone's memory that can sort of seem to get stuck. I can't explain more as I have no further details other than first hand experience with this phenomenon.

wiping several times in a rom, or wiping fully (all types of wipes in recovery menu) then flashing a totally different rom (like a 2.1 sense rom) then wiping fully and flashing the rom you want to use could maybe fix it - if in fact this is the cause of your problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefttobleed:
try wiping ONLY dalvik cache AFTER flashing the rom. i use recovery 1.6 and everything works.

the list of the updates fixes and etc....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
if there isn't any changelog on github then you won't find a customer-friendly one.

these are nightlies. they're not intended for regular use although sometimes work fine like that.

if you want to know what's been done and ensure that you are being told everything a customer ought to know, you should use a different gingerbread rom.

if you like living on the edge and seeing a purely CM experience with ALL cm features but NO non-CM features, then this is the rom for you.

I can understand reasons for either decision, but don't ask for full changelogs because they won't appear.

Just did a dalvik and cache wipe and installed this nightly. Initially, changes that I see are the stock calender app now has green highlight to match the other green in the task bar and lock screen has more options.

I have to say: Coming from build 9, 13 feels more smooth.

Screen-off-animation works. And yes: I've turned it off;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I'm not using this rom, but I just have to mention again that darktremor beta 3 worked flawlessly for me, and since beta 04 claims to have some pretty significant rewrites I would suggest trying beta 03 if you have issues with beta 04.

Maybe it's bulkier, maybe it's not as cool and trendy, but if it works... use it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Viper780:

Sorry if this is common knowledge, but are these Nightlies essentially pre release candidate ROMS? As in, eventually these will stop being modified, then become a widely agreed upon ROM which will then be made an official CM ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KillerCookie:
Nighlies are ROMs which are built automatically every night. Someday one of them will become a beta, release candidate or whatever but for now they are just useful to get a preview of what will become CM7.

Here are some screenshots.

Some ppl don't like the Statusbar (waiting till somebody makes a blueish descent statusbar to flash throu recovery ;) )

You have to keep in mind that it is an Alpha release and still contains bugs, also that it isn't really optimized for our phones.

An very usefull tip:

Sometime's you have a sort of color-fade in apps.

For example: The start-up-screen of the Official XDA App.

With the stock settings, you don't have a fade, but ugly bars.

To make this a fade, go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance, check 'Enable surface dithering' and reboot.

Is it a bug? Or just a feature?

I found something.

When you connect a charger, in Android 2.2, the time you have been on battery resets.

In this ROM you can connect a charger, and the time will not reset. Only when the battery is full, the time-on-battery-counter is set to 0.

So, it is possible to create a screenshot with a week, month or more on battery :D

The only thing you have to do is not charche completely... :cool:
