I guess they finally ran out of stock. Which means this area might be moved again. Favorite it now! :P
[Hero CDMA General] mill3rkydd:
That Sucks

Oh, it's so good though. They should at least make a second version of it:mad:
[Hero CDMA General] jwhistler:
If Hero 2.0 had a dual core processor in it, how much would you like it then? :D
[Hero CDMA General] term117:
Why don't company's realize people like getting the 2nd 3rd and 4th version of things. Look at every apple product. Revise your product, add a number to it... How hard is this? By doing this you get closer and closer to a perfect device rather then creating new dislikes and problems.
[Hero CDMA General] contactwajeeh:
I Agree with you term117. Rather than making new devices HTC should release the v2.0 of our Hero. :D
[Hero CDMA General] mk2munky:
I was at a Sprint store about a week or two ago and they actually had one booted up and running on display, which is funny since they aren't supporting it with updates anymore... am I right? So for $50 you can purchase yourself something that the manufacturer and carrier deem outdated and not worthy of upgraded firmware.
[Hero CDMA General] mk2munky:
You have to have something that people actually "like" first... which I think most people do like their Heros, and then you have to successfully make the change or leap without screwing it up. Personally I think the Hero should have less buttons. Just the four basic Android buttons would suffice, like the LG Optimus S.
[Hero CDMA General] wild1z:
I can sell you mine, I have a new EVO coming. :) Going to pre-order a Nexus too.. I am addicted...heading over to the Flashing Roms Everyday Anonymous Krew now. FREAK for short. lol
[Hero CDMA General] twcrosno:
Actually, if you google hero 2 there was or is a hero 2 out there. I believe it only went to another country not america and I see the information is at least 1 year old. They only put a 600mhz processor in it. here is a link to the specs.

[Hero CDMA General] twcrosno:
Wow!! It is like identical. Same specs and look, using android 2.1, just a different name.
[Hero CDMA General] ccrosno:
Just preordered my Nexus S 4G from Best Buy yesterday bro. That would be the one to go with in USA on CDMA. These others you are discussing are not Sprint phones.
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
Is there 4g service anywhere in Naptown? Airport possibly or maybe around the track or Lucas Oil Stadium?

[Hero CDMA General] vestaviajag:
So... out of curiosity (and that's JUST what it is), if I was to have an accident with my hero, and have insurance, would they replace it with a hero, or something else?

Like an Evo? ;)
[Hero CDMA General] ccrosno:
Not sure. I could care less about the 4G part, 3g and WiFi work just fine for me. Have to pay the extra $10 no matter what phone I get anyway (sucks, but what can you do) I have liked this phone ever since the T-Mobile one was released. I was about to switch from Sprint due to the lack of new phones until this and the EVO 3d were announced. EVO 3D not due out till summer but if the size of the phone remains the same, I would not be interested in the new EVO. Like talking on a brick. Don't flame me for that. I know all the specs on the new EVO. It is impressive but size does matter.:eek:
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
Lol, that's what she said! *rimshot*

I've been seriously considering the nexus s, but those dual cores are a siren song for me.

[Hero CDMA General] twcrosno:
Yeah, but it just has a 1ghz processor and the 5mp camera on back is fine, but a VGA in front. It is a nice looking phone, it is like a Hero dressed in all black. I would just think would have went a little higher than the 1ghz processor and they should have at least put a 1.3 mp camera in front. Maybe I am just being too picky. I am alomst due for a new phone and the EVO 3d looks nice, except for the size dealy. I agree that Sprint is lacking in telephone department and I too have thought of just going to another provider, but then I lose my ARAMARK 18% discount.
[Hero CDMA General] FdxRider:
I have to agree! Dual-core then I thought don't really use my phone in away that warrants one. Nexus 4G leading followed closely by the Shift(I believe they are getting them OC'ed to bout 1.5ghz.) just my Opinion:)
[Hero CDMA General] guitardoc64:
EVO 3D for me. I liked my Hero, but the first one had jogball problems in 3 weeks, the USB port went out in the 4th week and I replaced it with one day to spare on the 30 day exchange. I only got it because I wasn't going to pay the then 4G "tax" but now since I have to pay anyway, I'm going for it.
[Hero CDMA General] ccrosno:
Yeah but for what we use it for 1gh is fine. We aren't playing mmos on the phone. The VGA front facing will just be used for video chat or taking pictures of yourself. Don't be suprised when you think you are due for a new phone and you are not eligable. Sprint has changed their policies for that. Better read up. I beleive I am out the $150 upgrade because I did not get a new phone before April 1st. EVO 3d has great specs and it is a dual core but the 3d is just another thing that can go wrong. You'd need to be playing 3d games or watching 3d movies. I don't beleive the tech is there yet for that. I am assuming that is what the 3d part is for. Nexus 3 is a straight up phone, photo, text, GPS, email, video and web just a little fancier and faster than the Hero. :D

Edit: Someone reported that the Nexus S 4G starts shipping from Best Buy on April 6th. It was posted on Best Buys website this morning and then taken down later today. Still just rumured. I did not see this myself
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
You can turn the 3D off, you know.
[Hero CDMA General] twcrosno:
Well, I still think I will either wait till the EVO 3D comes out or cancel my Sprint account and go to another provider. The only thing that I need to know is if the other providers will give me my 18% or so company discount. If not, I will probably stick with Sprint. My family plan on the wife's side has been two years since she upgraded so her side can be canceled without penalty, but I did buy my Hero last May so I still have a year left on the contract. And I guess all this depends on if there is money available when the EVO 3D comes out.
[Hero CDMA General] Houndog101:
My wifes Hero was having problems, she called sprint and they sent her a new one, got it yesterday.. So they still have them..
[Hero CDMA General] jasonmaloney:
It's probably refurbished.
[Hero CDMA General] motoelliot:
Yes,all they have are refurbished ones now.... my wife got hers replaced few days ago, it had a green trackball. I said what's that? he told me probly cause they're refurbished now. We don't have ne new ones...
[Hero CDMA General] Joshhayes801:
Do what I did

I just bought one off of a classifieds add for 70 bucks, which was more than worth it. Rooted now running RegawMOD 2.1. Also if you were to go to a store that sells used phones and is a Sprint authorized dealer, you can still get your discount. At least thats how it used to be. Look on ebay as well.
[G Tablet Accessories] luigic81:
Got my M1 case and I really like it, fits nice, the stands sits at the perfect viewing angle and it looks good too.

I only have 1 issue with it and wanted some input from you fellow M1 case owners..

My issue is the little part the goes next to the 4 soft keys on the right side (in landscape mode) that little piece of leather doesnt seem to want to sit down, so it sits kinda elevated and it covers the soft keys ever so slightly....

So I'm wondering if this will settle in, being that its leather... or if you guys trim it a little for easier access to the soft keys? Thanks!
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I wish I had the answer for that. However, the m1 case is synthetic leather so I don't know if it would settle or not.
[G Tablet Accessories] wtang:
On my M1 case that little strip next to the soft keys does lay pretty flat already. The only part of the case that kind of puckers up is the top edge (in landscape mode) around the camera.
[G Tablet Accessories] luigic81:
Did it always lay flat or only after it broke in?
[G Tablet Accessories] wtang:
The strip next to the soft keys pretty much layed flat from the beginning. It didn't need to break in. I'm hoping the strip along the top lays flat after some breaking in time.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] joshnaomi:
I have the updated AmeriCan Android build and I downloaded Live Poker from the market. Screen looks fine until you actually get to a poker table and it's too small and cut-off. Would this be a problem with the build, the phone, or the game?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
The right place for this question would be the thread of the build you are using.

There you have all the people that use this build and the developers of the build.

They would advice you to read the first post, thoroughly, and the FAQ to wich you can find a link in said first post of said thread.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheSkepticalGuy:
1. Open File Explorer on your Phone

2. Click the Android Folder>240buildprop> copy and paste the Root Folder to the Android Folder and reboot.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
@TheSkepticalGuy

Hey. Are you stalking me? Trying to undermine my neverending quest to teach people to use their head for what it's intended for insted of relying on others to wipe their behinds?

That's the second time.

Bad user! ;)

You should consider a career as a politician. :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheSkepticalGuy:
LMAO! i think you're stalking me, are you? hahahaha. i'm just trying to help them.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
Well, me too. We are just taking different approaches.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and it will feed him all his life.

But you may be right with the stalking. I spend all my time searching for posts like this. When I find one, I give the TS an answer that will surely give him a headache. Then I wait around the corner for you to turn up.

Next time you find one of those posts, shaking your head in disbelief, wait a second before you start typing the correct answer. Quiet. Listen closely. Maybe you can hear my sniggering. :cool:
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheSkepticalGuy:
I only hear footsteps, it's that you? hahahahaha
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TomONeill:
No, don't do this if you like the resolution for normal use.

Open the drawer and look for Spare Parts. Uncheck "Compatibility Mode". Now reboot and all your apps will run fine.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheSkepticalGuy:
Does this work better then the other way?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TomONeill:
It's a bit easier, although the other way isn't that hard.

It depends on what you like. If you like the smaller status bar/icons so you've got a greater view (what you have at the beginning), then do it the way I explained.

If you prefer the bigger status bar/ icons, do it on your way.

Both ways will make the apps work in full screen, but they'll change the viewing experience.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheSkepticalGuy:
Kool! i'll try your way and see how it looks.;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wartibobo:
hmm..........
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wartibobo:
I have the similar problem with this build [JUN23] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB234 CM71|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:ACA512-1].....however, I check all all the posts at where I got this built and found no help. I followed your advice to copy and paste the root folder to android root but after reboot, the problem persists. In fact, my main problem is: all of the icons are really small in and out of the app drawer.

Thanks for your time and help btw :-)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Nigeldg:
Maybe you have to cut and paste not copy. Cutting it works for me, i.e. 240buildprop is empty.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wartibobo:
Ok....I'mm a do that rite now...and check back

Ok it WORKED! FINALLY! tnx man. Ok one more thing (totally unrelated) I keep on trying different builds (some very good) only to try to get Google Navigation to work....it used to work in the past but now no matter what Rom I use, it continues to search for GPS for ever (even though the gps receiver is clearly on) I have tried everything possible to fix the problem but it still persists. IDK what to do now. Any sugestions?

Hi i have the same problem and i dont want the small icons but i can't find the folder: Android>240buildprop can you hel me please?

Sorry I'm new in this stuf.
[Milestone XT720 General] Glen L:
Hi, I installed an application on my XT720, but I think the installation hanged so I took out the battery to reset the phone. Now it wont install.

I've encountered this problem before by deleting the temp files using root explorer, but I can't seem to find the temp files on this one. Does anyone know where I can find temp files from installations?

thx
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
if it's rooted already, just use any of the clear cache apps in market, to clean the temps out

also the Dalvik cache
[Milestone XT720 General] shidou_hikaru:
that almost no one reported problem and almost nobody knows how to fix it, I can say that there are caches market or anything like that, the problem is that there are duplicates in a folder on the SD card, and you have to delete the folder is hidden and not visible on the phone and can not erase, deves do it on the pc, and appears as olcuto file in linux and mac, but you can delete it just by putting "view hidden files" Fortunately, it is easy to fix
[Milestone XT720 General] gn01222116:
I have encountered the same problem, but after i cleaned the caches by Cache Cleaner, the problem didn't solve.

When I tried to install the apk file, the device returns the message 'application not installed'.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I doubt this is your problem, but maybe check the permissions and ownership of your /cache directory. I borked mine once while experimenting and the market was very silently unhappy.

ls -l should give:

drwxrwx--x system cache 2011-03-28 23:13 cache

If it's not owned by the cache group or if the group doesn't have write permission, downloads just go poof. That doesn't sound like your problem, though.

I've had some situations (going all the way back to 2.1) where Market apps wouldn't install the first couple of times I ask, but if I'm persistent and repeatedly keep installing, eventually it will start installing.

Another trick I've found is if the download completes and then the install never starts, try leaving the Market page for the app and come back. Sometimes that kicks the install into gear.
[Milestone XT720 General] gn01222116:
My problem seldom associate with the market apps, but rather the apk files that i backed up before. when i pressed install, the installation bar would load for a while, about 1 second, and then it said application not installed.

This happens when I first try to install angry birds few days ago, the application hanged up with no response, just showing the installation bar. After that i removed the battery and try to install, the apk can't be installed and the above situation happened.

I can still install some of the other apk files, but some cannot. I tried to wipe all the caches as well as factory reset by the openrecovery, but the apk still cannot be installed.

Anyone got the same problem?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Are you on froyo? IIRC Angry Birds tries to install to the SD card using native froyo App 2 SD. Perhaps that's what's not working on your phone. Since not all apps do that it could seem random. See if you can Move to SD any downloaded apps (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Downloaded > pick one > Move to SD). If you can't there's probably something wrong with your FAT partition on the SD card (e.g. it may need to be reformatted).
[Milestone XT720 General] gn01222116:
i tried your method, and my apps could move to SD.

So what will be the possible reasons for my problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trainriderben:
First post here, so please take it a little easy on me. I have had my Vibrant for some time, I had not rooted as I didn't fully understand how magic it could be. After some research, I decided I would go ahead and do it tonight, using one click root. Everything is mostly ok and I think that I did successfully root, however, I am having problems with Super User. First off, just about anything I do force closes it, but secondly - and more importantly - I have downloaded a few apps that need root access, like 'shoot me' or 'titanium backup' - both will open, but they dont work, superuser is not popping up like I was under the impression that it would.

I have been googling for some time now and cannot find an answer to this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Try to open titanium backup and hit the problems button to download busybox. See if that does you any good.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trainriderben:
Thanks, that did it. The only issue I am having now is that I have no haptic feedback and the phone is moving waaaaay slower then ever :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Hmmm... I would say to odin back to stock and go with a custom rom. It sounds like your phone got aids somewhere along the way.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DummyPLUG:
Just want to note that my I9000 come with ZSJPE, and update to ZSJPG via kies, never repartition, should come with a 512.pit, according to the size of dbdata, but samfirmware list as 803.pit. Thanks for the info and now I know what is the real pit come with my i9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] droidgt:
Good to know all these details behind the pit file. Great job!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Auzy:
We need more people like you here.. Not only have you pasted useful information, but you have also backed up the important parts of what you said with evidence (and shown how you tested it, so testing can be repeated).

Bravo.. This oughta put an end to some of the bs being said here..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mothatt:
Thanks heaps man. I was starting to get sick of explaining this over and over again. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:
Thanks to all of you, the idea is to provide information as easy as possible for the receiver to understand and I hope that our members will find some answers in these few lines and find this post useful. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jebise101:
so then then 512 is the best then since it gives you the most dbadata, since system will not let your write over the 276.3MB limit why give it the extra 10-20MB?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:
It's not about which pit file is the best as much as showing what pit files do... We don't have all the informations of why there is several pit files and why the trading between dbdata and system. Please keep it at that and use any pit file you like.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Auzy:
Not only that I feel.. The main thing here, is that we are seeing a few "professionals" here who are running around telling everyone who disagrees with them that they are "idiots", except when queried about ANY evidence, or the means they used to find the results, they REFUSE to provide it, and they even will tell others they are wrong when OTHERS post evidence (despite the fact they didn't post any).

And it's RUINING XDA. AT least 2 people I spoke with left XDA because they were getting sick of all the people who are filling XDA with Anti-Truths.

So good job, you are my hero..

Thanks Ramad,

you do a lot of good work here for us!!!!

there was a explanation of this last year:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816449

But not so easy and straight forward as you did.

The problem here in XDA is that this kind of information get not sticky and pass away. The search function is not so helpful to find this kind of information if it was posted some time ago.

Anyway I really thank you for your work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seresseran:
Thanks Ramad. Very useful information for all of us. Many questions are gone from my mind, but

" Then How the guys at samfirmware decide about the pit file when they release a firmware ?"

As you know, the firmware table at samfirmware points us different pit files for different firmwares. WHY? According to what?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
The reason that you don't see increased space in /system is because the usable size of that partition is recorded in the ROM. If you apply a lagfix to the partition with 513.pit, you will see that the usable space is increased because a new partition is created.

The reason for the increased space in 513.pit, the /system in certain Asian roms (such as DXJPA) needs to be larger to contain the large amount of CSC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hanafubuki:
Thank you so much. I was looking for information on those pit files and especially what the differences are between them. This should be a sticky!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdl1969:
Excellent information Ramad, thank you very much!

@Mod can we get this stickied please?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
I believe hardcore had preciously mentioned about the increase in the usable space after lagfix is applied.

[Ramad], were you on ext4, or rfs? Maybe try the experiment on both file system?

Anyway, excellent information.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vanto:
Excellent info... As a noobe I was wondering the same thing

Thanx for sharing that info
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seresseran:
But as you see the usable space does not change. So even if some roms need more space for system, According to Ramad's file copy test, this 10 MB or 20 MB is not usable for the system, it is not dynamically extensible.

if it can't use that space, how can we say that some roms need to be larger to contain the large amount of CSC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kakomalo:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Phandroid:
A great wrap up, thank you! Now I finally understand all that pit file madness.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] An Droid:
Interesting discussion. Just a thought - is it possible the 'missing' space is being used for security or data integrity? How about reserved for possible future defective memory blocks?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bmadalin:
and in case you missed it, here is the noob question (i've been reading threads for hours can't find the answer): why shoud I repartition, i've flashed a few times upgrading the firmware with odin but never used PIT, am i missing something?

Thankyou for taking the time to explain in detail the meaning of PIT files. it always confused me, and now i understand it all :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seresseran:
Simple. Sometimes you make mistakes and mess up partitions. Then your only recovery solution is to repartition.
