HTC Hero :: ROM Suitable For Rooting Over Official 2.1?

Oct 3, 2010

I currently have an official orange HTC Hero running on official 2.1. No problems, I actually like it a lot but browsing this sections of the forums, I've seen that people have taken advantage of rooting so. Are there any ROMs that you would pick over the official 2.1 that don't:
Eat battery life
Cause glitches(that are very noticeable)

And can:
be updated to directly from official 2.1

If you have any guides or info or links that are in English, I'd appreciate it if you could show them to me. But the most important thing is whether it's worth it.

HTC Hero :: Suitable MicroSD Card

Jan 14, 2010

I'm looking to buy a slightly bigger card for my hero, especially since apps2sd has stolen some of the space on my card now. This is the card I was thinking of going with, Play.com (UK) - Mobile - Free Delivery But since I've never purchased anything like this before, just wanted to check this is the right thing. It's listed as 'Micro SDHC Plus', but I take it that's just marketing spiel for plain old Micro SD rather than a different type of card?

Sprint HTC Hero :: USB Wall Chargers - Suitable For Device?

Nov 5, 2009

I'm not real savvy about the power situation for the Sprint Hero that I just bought. The OEM power source says that the input is standard 100-240V. The OEM output shows as 5V=1A. Now, I have other USB chargers (e.g., for my iPod). The input is the same (100-240V), but the output is:
Output: 5.0V=400mA. Can anyone tell me (a) whether this will HARM my Hero, and (b) whether this will effectively CHARGE my Hero? Also Connecting to my computer via the USB cable: does the charge take longer than if connected directly to a wall charger?

HTC Incredible :: Leaked OTA And Rooting / How To Install Official Update?

Jul 21, 2010

So I just got done installing the leaked OTA and rooting my phone, but now I've read conflicting reports that when Froyo comes out in a couple weeks, I won't be able to install it without going back to stock 2.1. Even worse, going back to stock means erasing all the data and apps on my phone. I was under the impression that one could use Titanium backup to make sure all apps, data, and settings can be re-imaged to the phone, but then I realized that Titanium only works if you have root, which I won't if I go back to stock. But when the official update comes out, how do I install it without losing all my data? Why can't I just install it on top of the rooted OTA update OS?

HTC Hero :: Official Orange ROM

Apr 17, 2010

I've seen a few threads from people having issues with the latest orange rom (2.73.61.66) but have yet to find anyone with the issue i'm having.

Basically, i keep getting an error message saying something like:

"this process has stopped unexpectedly"

giving the only option to force close. When it is force closed the same message pops up again. and again. and again. The only way to stop it is to either battle against the message and hope you can hit the power down button, or to pop the battery.

Sometimes it throws up other messages similar to the above one but for specific applications (ie sense, google talk..whatever..) but these never come alone, they always bring the original force close message.

Anyway, i've been onto orange and, tho i'm very pissed off, they have been good. they set me a replacement handset in less than 24 hrs (as they thought it might be a screen malfunction) which i was buzzing over until i got the same message! gutted. After talking to their tech support he suggested a hard reset followed by not adding any apps to the phone, so now i have a stock hero with stock apps and i'm waiting to see if i get a similar message...but in the mean time does anyone know of any possible conflicting applications? here is a list of the market apps i have used:

"Audio manager widget"
"beebplayer"
"Battery widget"
"Replica island"
"gStrings guitar tuner"
"Hoccer"
"Google sky map"
"Astro file manager"
"TV guide free uk"
"Ringdroid"
"Free advanced task manager"

It seems weird to me that i had no issues what so ever before upgrading the rom.

HTC Hero :: Going From VillainROM To Official 2.1

Jul 6, 2010

A while ago, I installed VillainROM in my HTC Hero because I wanted to try it out. Now I hear the official 2.1 has been released and since my phone is being a little buggy lately, I want to install the official one. "Off Course" I don't remember how I did it and don't know how to do the procedure.
1. Is there an official ROM for Belgium, I can download?
2. How do I do this (I know I did all the official steps while upgrading to VillainROM.

HTC Hero :: HTC Official Black Pouch

Nov 22, 2009

JUst to let you guys know I received my HTC pouch the other day and it's the best thing I could have done. I used to have the gel case which was great but didn't protect the screen and I didn't want to quick a protector onto my phone. The beauty of the pouch is that is allows you to have the beautiful touch and feel of the phone but able to keep it well protected as well.

Figured I would try to share the update with google docs. The other mirrors people send us are always all full of popups and such. Just seems much easier to use Google.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Official 2.1 RUU - Name Unchanged

Jun 4, 2010

It looks like even though 2.1 was rooted for the Hero, Sprint has now made a patch. Not only is there an OTA update that breaks the root, but apparently Sprint is pulling a sneaky one. They went and updated the RUU on the download page, but did not change the name of it. The old RUU for 2.1 was version 2.27.651.5. When downloaded the new RUU from Sprint is 2.27.651.6, which root is patched.

HTC Hero :: Official Update Vs MonDaCo Custom ROM

Sep 21, 2009

I have a fairly new HTC Hero.Came across this forum a few days ago, hoping to learn a few tricks about the android phone.I am currently stuck as to whether root my phone and load the custom ROM, or get the official update.I have gone through the forum and read that many people have been getting errors regarding the update.My phone is purchased from Orange, but I have no idea of how to tell if it is branded or not.There is no Orange stickers at the back of my phone or any orange logo on my home page.So if I was to do the official update, do I use the standard one or the Orange one?

HTC Hero :: Installing Official Update On Rooted Phone?

Sep 23, 2009

I am getting calls going straight to voicemail with no missed calls on my phone, when I have full signal, so orange have (after a lot of calls) agreed to terminate my contract. I have to return my phone (shame I could not keep it for free!) and have rooted my phone, and installed the modaco ROM.

I want to return it with an orange ROM, and was wondering if I can just install the updated orange ROM on my phone over the top of the modaco, and has anyone done this successfully? From reading around I am assuming that this would hide the fact that I have ever rooted or installed a custom ROM, as I want to be back on warranty?

Just asking because a buddy of mine backed up all his stuff before he did the sprint official. He restored it after the update and had nothing but problems. Problems like the ones most of you on the forum are describing. After a hard reset and not restoring his backups he has no problems.

Android :: Suitable Minimum SDK Version For APK Files

Oct 7, 2009

We're seeking advice for our application in the Android Market, in relation to nominating a suitable minimum SDK version for the APK files published through the market. We understand that at this juncture there's no facility to provide associate multiple APK files (supporting different minimum SDK versions) within a single listing in the Market.

We have updated our existing application with new Android 1.6 API features and are keen to release it to the Market. However we're concerned about the general availability (and uptake) of version 1.6 firmware and seeking to ensure that we don't inadvertently release an updated APK should there be limited release of this firmware.

Can anyone provide an indication as to how widely the 1.6 firmware has been released? To that end, what are generally acceptable practices for supporting multiple SDK versions from within the market?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Loaded Juice Defender On Official 2.1 Release?

May 27, 2010

Now that we are on 2.1, Juice Defender works on our phones. I have been running it for a couple days, and I think it is helping. Still need to do some better calculations. Once loaded, I did shut off Power Manager, as I think they conflict on some of the settings. Anyhow, has anyone else loaded it on the official 2.1 release? What's your experience?

Android :: Is Bind Mechanism Suitable For One Shot Services?

Nov 9, 2010

What I need is to perform some network operations in background inside a service. I want them to run in a service because, as pointed out in the "developing rest client application" talk from google io, I don't want to loose the result if the activity is brought in background. What sounds quite obvious is to use an Intent Service, and get the result as a broadcast. In this way I am sure the service will die and no consume any other resources when its done, but I need to convert the actions I want to perform to intents and back. Well, I was now wondering if it makes sense to bind to the service instead, at least for getting the result. And a more general question: is the bind mechanism suitable for one shot services, or it just make sense for persistent services? What happens if I call the startService method but the service is already active? Will it start another service, or will it call the onStartCommand of the same service? I am asking this because if I use "regular" non sticky service, it could happen that I need it to perform some action and I don't know if it is already active (and I don't want to have a queue of action waiting for onServiceConnected to be called.

Android :: Samsung Galaxy Suitable For Development Work?

Aug 25, 2010

I can see that I'm going to have to get an actual phone sooner than later, and for various reasons I'll need to get an "unlocked" version. As long as I'm laying out that many $$$, I might as well get one that I can use personally and shop some apps, etc.So would the Samsung Galaxy S be suitable for development work? I assume that a general unlocked version would have all the expected Android built-in apps and would not have restrictions on what apps can be installed and from what sources. Any comments on this device?(This also assumes that I can actually get one. The effects of that chip shortage that they've been talking about seems to be hitting the supply lines already.)

General :: How To Find Suitable ROM For MT6575 Based Clones

Jan 5, 2013

i have a Samsung galaxy s3 clone . it was bought from shop in china . dont know who actually made it .

i made its backup with mtkdroid root tools 2.3 but its corrupted.

i tried few roms and flashed it with wrong preloader and dsp_bl .. which gave me total brick .. no charging . no display. no detection by pc. after a lot of hit and trial i somehow unbricked it . now it has android 4.0.4 . but it has few problems.

1: Cameras are not working
2: Sim management is greyed out /disabled .. and no imei ..
3: No baseband ..

now since my own created backup is corrupt and this set is not branded so no real way of identifying it how can i find its factory rom ? from which information I can decide whether a ROM is compatible with my device?

all the details along with pics of my set are here ..

These were taken with stock ROM ..
