So far lately me... Haven't played much lately and went back trying to get three stars on everything without using youtube.

The real question is, who doesn't or didn't like angrybirds? ;)
[Android Themes] nerval:
Possible to get icon for PlayerPro, Spotify, stock musicplayer, Listen and MIUI music player in the mosaic style.. Would be awesome!
[Android Themes] DroidDeck:
I could get these done for you soon :)
[G Tablet Accessories] thfoster:
Any idea as to whether these will work with our G Tablets?

[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
dunno? I'm going to have someone look into it for me and get back. hmmm, interesting :)
[G Tablet Accessories] atakapa:
Should work with the Gtab, seeing as the Vega is a nearly identical device. That dock looks sharp and I like the headphone/speaker and extra usb ports.

I like that more accessory options are starting to pop up.
[G Tablet Accessories] nunjabusiness:
Is the Vega's docking port really that far offset from center?

Considering the GTab's is dead center, this does not look like it would be a great support structure for our tab. :(
[G Tablet Accessories] rgp24:
it may work

it may fit as far as the connection type but the connector is really off to the side. It would need to be tested but i would think the Gtab would sit to far off to the left. The weight may eventually screw up the connector if its not strong enough to hold the weight from the tab going to the side....

Hi guys,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a nc, but need to have skyscape working for it to replace my current archos 101.

I have a link to the apk here, if someone could please install it and see if it runs.

Please also state which Rom you're using.

Cheers, thanks heaps in advance :)

(Tablet specific version)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sec6:
Using it on the froyo flashable rom. No problems. Skyscape is the only reason I'm sticking with the froyo rom. Tried it with the CM7 rom but since no device ID is created with this rom, it won't work. The eclair roms won't work as the device ID is created randomly. Skyscape needs a stable fixed ID. I imagine the ID issue with gingerbread will be worked out in the future.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sec6:
One more thing: When launching Skyscape, you HAVE to be connected via wifi. If not, it will give you the message that the device ID is different or your device is in airplane mode. But once the initial open with wifi enabled, you can use it with wifi off. If you ever reboot, always connect the first time with wifi enabled.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
Thanks for the reply. :)

Have you tried the apk in my opening post?

I think its a tablet specific version as I'm able to use it on my 101 without wifi and without an id. The one from the market for example doesn't work.

Could you please try it and see if it makes a difference?

Cheers
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sec6:
I believe this is the same version I was using. I installed the apk and my paid resources were locked out. It asked me to reinstall the paid resources, but I just am restoring my system instead. Maybe you don't need the wifi to connect for non-paid resources? Your 101 must be generating some ID. Go into the software and click "about." It should show your device ID.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
I've just double checked - my archos does indeed generate a stable ID.

However, I do have paid databases on their at the moment and don't need Wi-fi access upon start up... I wonder whats happening?

Do you think they'll fix it in CM7?

Have you tried running Android ID changer (on the market) to set/spoof an android device ID?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] vapor63:
I believe the ID problem has been fixed, first by framework patch, and now in the nightlies. The problem is serious enough that I would expect it to most definitely be resolved by the time the Stable release arrives.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sec6:
I thought it might be giving the problem without wifi because of subscription resources. I bought a four month subscription, so I thought that might be the programs way of checking online first before launching the paid subscription resource. Not sure, though. CM7 does appear to generate a device ID.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
My nook is arriving next week :)

Has anyone had a chance to test skyscape out on the latest CM7 nightlies?

Also you're saying that it doesn't run on rooted stock eclair?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bdcrim:
I downloaded the app from the market, created an account. I downloaded the free resources that were available and all seems well. It runs on a full screen.

.Update.....

I did not really read the op very well at first. I uninstalled the market app and installed your apk. Logged into the account that I created and it loaded fine. Actually, instead of 3 resources available for download, I had seven or eight with this version. Looks like it works. This is a great medical database. I am running cm7 nightly 12.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kosei_inoue:
Any way to make it full screen

Is there any way to view skyscape with full screen at nook color? since only a tiny screen appears as if it is in a 3.5inch smartphone
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bdcrim:
Go to the spare parts app and the option to run older apps in compatability mode. If it is on, toogle off and reboot. If it is off, toggle on and reboot. One or the other sequence works.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
Thanks for the update mate :)

Skyscape is the bomb...especially once you load a few databases on there ;)

Really interested to see if anyone could please try it on autonooted stock 2.1 though, as CM7 while awesome is still not as stable as I'd like at the moment.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jimmyz:
Is there any solution to get a fixed device ID in eclair- Im dying here!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jimmyz:
Im now trying the froyo that runs off the sdcard but skyscape just crashes- logcat shows the error to be "cannot determine device identification"- I'm guessing my only option is to flash froyo?

EDIT- was using old version- working now!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
Or CM7 as it looks to be more stable now :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jimmyz:
Arggh- just flashed froyo and still skyscape crashes on launch- logcat still lists error as "Cannot determine device identification"- what gives!!! any ideas?

EDIT- looks like I was using an old version- its running now
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
Did you get your version from the market or from the apk I posted?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jimmyz:
from market- is there advantage with the one you posted?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
Not sure. Mine is version 1.26. I used it previously as the one from the market didn't support tablets. They may have updated it now..not sure...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liqn7:
Arrrghhh anyone notice the problems with Skyscape with Nookie Froyo?

Works fine until you reboot, when it changes the device ID and the installed databases don't work :(

Do you know if CM7 uses a stable android ID?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jimmyz:
You have to be careful- I had this problem once when I started skyscape WITH WIFI TURNED OFF- I have not had the problem as long as wifi is on before opening up skyscape- I believe there is an earlier post in this thread along those lines
[Hero, G2 Touch General] oliverh72:
Hi all,

I have a couple questions before I install my first ROM on my Telus Hero.

First off, I'm following btdag's guide over here, as I am an admitted complete Newb. :)

So, what I've got:

HTC Hero on Telus in Canada

Android 2.1-update1

Launcher Pro Plus as my current launcher

Flash Rec

Titanium Backup

HTC Sync installed on Win XP 32 bit

Amon Ra's recovery ROM for hero, 1.7.0.1

Rooted using Universal AndRoot

What I've done so far

As mentioned above, I've rooted the phone

I'm trying to Flash to the recovery image in the root of the sdcard folder, but it keeps failing. Can someone give specific steps as to what I am to do here?

Tried to backup the recovery image - see below.

About to do a Titanium Backup and then a Nandroid backup as specified in the guide.

Questions

1. I've tried to type in /sdcard/recover-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img into the address bar and click 'Backup Recover Image', but it just says 'Backup FAILED: Could not run command'. Any ideas?

2. What is the best ROM for this phone, in your opinions? I know I could flash it multiple times, but I'm not super-keen on that idea.. I'd prefer to do a one-shot, done sorta thing.

What I'm looking for in a custom ROM (in order) - preferably 2.3, but 2.2 would be acceptable:

a) speed

b) stability

c) compatibility

d) flashiness (UI stuff, launchers, etc)

e) overclocking built-in

I realize I can install whatever launcher I'd like after the fact, but if it comes baked-in, I'm good with that too. I'd prefer a launcher that has some basic customization for # of homescreens as I find that the hero is sluggish on many more than 5, and I prefer 3, tbh. This may be mitigated by the speed improvements of 2.3 as well as the built-in overclocking that some seem to have. I'm okay if I have to install setcpu separately to overclock.

3. Unlocking? I'm going to be going to Europe in May and I'd like to buy a data SIM card when I get there. Will these ROMs unlock the phone or is that a separate code I have to get from somewhere (ie: Ebay, etc)?

Thanks in advance!! I really appreciate all the work the devs and volunteers have done to make all of this available to the newb users like me.

Oliver
[Hero, G2 Touch General] saj222:
I'll bite, lol.

Give Cronos Ginger 1.4 a try. It's a 2.3 ROM and my daily driver. http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=780 I find it to be fast and stable.

As for launcher, I use LauncherPro. It is very quick. I have tried ADW Launcher and is okay as well. There are some others to try but I haven't for a long time.

For overclocking, give SetCPU a try. It is free on xda for forum members.

For SIM unlocking, these ROMs will not do that. You'll need to get a code from ebay, etc as you mentioned.

I'll get back to you on the flashrec error.

Edit:

Okay, for the flashrec error it looks like you might be doing it wrong. You are trying to backup your current recovery image to a file name that probably already exists (recover-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img is the new image).

I replied to another user a while ago here with some advice that seemed to work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812511 Give that a try.

And back to the stable ROM suggestion, I didn't see that you just wanted to "set it and forget it" (install one ROM and that's it). In that case something that is stable is Cronos Froyo (a 2.2 ROM) http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=758.

And since you're a newb, read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797740
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Athrun88:
Hello,

I am also a Telus customer with their Hero (got it way back in December). Currently rooted and using RaduG's TastyGinger 2.0 (Android 2.3.2) as my daily ROM. Very fast, stable, everything works (Camera, GPS, WiFi, BT, data, etc..)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943720

Overclocking is built into the ROM and can be adjusted when fully installed through TastyOC and ranges the clock speed between 176MHz - 710MHz. He does say that you should NOT use any other OC utility other than the one built in because he has implemented a custom set of instructions.

Before that I was running VillianROM's FroydVillian 1.7.2 (Android 2.2.1) and was great as a daily. Only issues that I had with that one was the GPS lock would not work sometimes and would have random reboots occasionally.

I promise you, however, that once you flash out of the stock 2.1 from Telus, you will flash atleast 5-9 different ROM's just because you can or you find that the recommended ROM's just don't suit your needs. I reflashed about 10 times because I couldn't decide if I wanted Sense or AOSP, haha.

Have fun.

EDIT: In regards to unlocking, you can either pay Telus $50 for them to unlock it for you now or you can check, like you said, EBay for people who buy unlock codes wholesale. Telus is probably way more expensive, but it would be 100%.

Regards.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] oliverh72:
Hey, thanks so much for your reply!

After trying to flash the recovery image, I gave up and just bought ROM manager installed and used clockworkmod. That works great.

So first, I tried TastyGinger... oh so slow and laggy. So not for me.

I reflashed with Froyo 2.2.1 stock with the blue sence theme and launcherpro instead of ADW and it seems to be working like a charm now. I'm quite liking it. Are there significant benefits to 2.3 other than the slight UI improvements? All the 2.3 based ROMs seemed like they have a bit too many bugs as yet, and since I do want stable, I figured I'd stick with 2.2.1.

I'll download setcpu and give it a shot. :)

Thanks again!!

you can overclock without random reboots with that kernel? i just flashed it today but used min 128 max 998 on smartass i will try 1113 too thanks for the tip bro
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
In 4 days I've only had 1, so not that bad to me at all. Then again, it may just be the hardware, as all of our phones all respond differently to everything.
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
wow, thats incredible...

I don't think I have ever had close to that. You must live right under a wireless tower or something...
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
I charge frequently, so I don't have a lot of long runs from which to take data, but this past weekend I decided to see how long I could run my Inc using its current setup. I keep things switched off unless I'm using them (like GPS, BT, etc) and at night when I go to bed, I turn off mobile data. This allows me to still receive calls in the event of a late-night emergency (unlike airplane mode). I don't need my phone to stay up-to-the-minute with emails and such while I'm asleep.

As you can see from my screen-on / wake time in those images, I'm not a heavy user of my phone. People who are playing tons of games and constantly syncing social apps can't expect to get anywhere near the battery life as lighter users. Custom kernels and clock speeds can only go so far.
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
I'm at 27% w/ 9h15m now
[Droid Incredible General] JohnKuczek:
Which Kernel: Chad

Battery Size: HTC 2150

Current Batt. Life and Uptime: Normal Life is about 10-14 hours

What is on? GPS is always on, 3G is on except for the 3-5 hours at home in the evening when WiFi is on instead, 1 to 1.5 hours of Bluetooth, 3 gmail accounts in the gmail app.

I also use both Twidroyd syncing every 15 minutes for 1 twitter account, and Tweetdeek syncing every 30 minutes for 1 twitter, 1 facebook, and 1 foursquare account, Droidin syncing every 12 hours, and Scanner Radio running in the background...
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
I'm thinking my other battery is junk. I bought it off ebay as a 1750, supposedly that means its 1500. I think even if it is 1500 its not as high quality as the stock, so I am going back to stock until my new battery comes in.

I am down to 26% after 2h and 26m.

Tasker seems to suck most of my battery life (25-35%).

I dont play many games or surf the web so I dont know why this is happening. I used to get between 12-16 hours on CM6 but I ran juice defender which I think helped a lot. My tasker profiles are triggered by location and I think that when I am indoors it has my gps running, but looking at the battery info this does not seem to be the case..
[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:

GPS, 3G/Wifi, 2 gmail accounts
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Holy crap - that is completely unacceptable.

Not only is that awful battery life, but Tasker should not be using that much power. I use it a lot and have never once seen it get close to that.

Sure sounds like it: I can't think of anything else Tasker does that would suck up that much power. I would suggest you refine your location profiles to use non-GPS methods (such as the Wi-Fi Near state).

If Tasker is trying to lock down a GPS location and you're indoors (or somewhere else where GPS reception is poor), that is a sure fire recipe for bleeding your battery.
[Droid Incredible General] Keyboards:
What app is that
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
It's just the built-in battery info in CM7

Settings > About phone > Battery Use

That will show you the small plot with app detail below. If you then press the plot, you get to the enlarged view of it, which also shows signal/gps/awake/screen/charging
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
Goes to show you what a warn-out crappy ebay battery does for you...bought a "1750, found out its more like 1500. Also turns out it wears out after a few months...bad" That said OEM 1500 on the way.

[Fascinate General] sdwinder:
I installed root, flashed CWR using ODIN, and installed rom manager, in rom manager i click backup current rom, when it reboots it goes into the recovery and proceeds to spam the message that a certain file in the sd card is in use.

It says something along the lines of "resource or device in use". Also when i try to flash an update.zip it says it cant find it, even though its there, it seems my sd card is no accessible while in recovery. At first I thought that it was because it was plugged into the PC, but then i unplugged it and plugged it into the wall, and i got the same result...any ideas?

Tango crashes, doesn't work et all.
[Atrix 4G General] surfernia:
I used Qik earlier and the video was choppy and slow. FFC camera is very grainy. I don't know if it's just mine but it was definitely grainy. It displayed background color incorrectly. FFC being VGA camera so it is not very good quality. Anyone else have the same problem with grainy video?
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
Tango was the only one that worked with Nexus S

hopeuflly theyll fix it for atrix

Does seem a bit creepish though ;)
[Atrix 4G General] rapidstar:
I didn't try video chat with Qik, but I took few pics with FFC & they all came out grainy. FFC is low resolution VGA camera so we can't expect much from it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newb4ever:
Hey Everyone!

I searched the forums and couldn't find any information on it so I decided to make a thread.

I recently flashed my phone to the Andromeda 1.1 rom. It's amazing!!! Finally fixed my gps and random shut down issues. 10/10!!

Now the only problem that I am having is, the headset microphone button doesn't seem to work anymore. Loved the convince of jumping to the next song or just hanging up a call when I'm done, but that doesn't seem to the be the case anymore.

Tired 3 sets of earphones but no such luck!

Any ideas??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpicaso:
Have you tried a different kernel? I use Speedmod k13c with andromeda 1.2 and the headset works just fine. I would suggest you download Neldar's SGS Kernel flasher from the market and try a different kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psychosis5150:
Unfortunately the stock Andromeda kernel doesn't support the headset button yet. I seem to remember reading on one of their threads that it was going to be fixed in the next kernel update, though I could be mixing things up.. Speedmod and Firebird 2 kernels both work well though in the meantime!
