HTC Hero : Rooting - Customs - Apps - Radio Update
Sep 10, 2009
I have seen the rooting video by theunlockr and it seems easy enough. And I can follow instructions so installing the ROM should not be an issue.
What/where is the radio update and how do I install it?
If I backup my apps with MyBackupPro, will they be able to receive updates once reinstalled using MyBackupPro?
Is there any word on an official update? Would I receive it direct from HTC or need to wait for an Orange allowed one?

I've had a search can't find exactly what I need. Basically just want to know if its possible to change the standard icons on my hero (which i think it is), but without rooting of course?

I was following the wiki for rooting and flashing CM6. It says in order to flash the new radio I need to have s-off set. If so is the best way to just use unrevoked forever? This is what I was following: Full Update Guide - HTC Incredible - CyanogenMod Wiki

I installed Fresh Evo 0.3 on a stock Evo and everything was fine and dandy. ES File Explorer worked, ROM Manager, everything, etc. I then decided to flash the latest radio update as well. Upon the reboot, all my settings got lost, I had to redo my email, etc but the radio got updated. It also looks like all the apps Fresh 0.3 included now went missing. Did I do something wrong or it this a bug?

So I updated to villain 10 which I love, but I also updated the radio. Now I have no 3G icon, the signal bars are there but no data icon after turning off the wifi. Is this villian rom or the radio update? Any ideas how to fix this?

I rooted my phone a while back and I am trying to update the recovery image. I think the recovery image I have downloaded (recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2) has some extra options such as being able to flash the radio which is what I want to do. I have updated my rom to 2.1 by copying the image accross and naming it update.zip and booting into recovery and applying the update. That is fine and I am now running SenseHERO-2.1_signed-update. I have tried using flashrec but it fails with "cannot run command" and I think it is because I already have a patched recovery image. What is the best thing to do? Can I update my recovery image manually from the command line? Can I update the radio in the same way? Have I misunderstood the procedure?

I have read up a lot about rooting my phone, and I think I might give it a go, mainly to get rid of some of the bloatware on the sprint hero, and also for the apps2sd capability. My question is however, how will this effect my ability to update to android 2.1 in the first half of next year. Will I have to wait for a custom ROM to be made or will i be able to update as normal?

I have rooted my phone just to delete some of the sprint crap apps. Now my question is since I did not flash a custom ROM on to my device will I be able to update the phone when Sprint releases the OTA Update or will I have to use the RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release.exe to put my phone back to factory stock. (Also can I just do a hard reset to accomplish the same thing).
The Apps I removed:
Sprint Nascar
Stocks
Amazon Mp3

I know you can remove those bogus stock apps by rooting the hero but I have a slightly different question that I couldn't find in other threads. I am interested in rooting my hero just to remove the bloatware and then unroot the phone back to its original ROM. I am not a huge fan of tinkering with my electronics because it voids warranties, possibly bricks devices, and causes trouble with firmware updates, but it really ticks me off that sprint forces these apps on us and then makes them impossible to uninstall. Imagine getting a new PC and not being able to remove crap like wild tangent and the 20 free trials for programs you don't want or need. I know this isn't news to anyone here, but every time I see that Nascar app I get irritated. Seriously sprint? Nascar? Anyway, my questions are 1.) is root/unroot possible to remove bloat and return to original state 2.) has anyone had success uninstalling pieces of the bloat without rooting? I don't want to uninstall anything integral to the phone like the stock messages app, but Nascar has gots to go!

Let's say the user starts with a 16GB, class 6 SD card. What are the benefits of storing apps to the SD card? Does it let the phone run smoother? Does it allow you to install more apps on your phone? What are the cons? Do apps take longer to open/load? Is there a risk of damaging the SD card and/or the phone? If someone could explain this to me as thoroughly as possible.

I know this 2.1 is out of control, I was just curious about the option of being able to save apps to the SD card on 2.1 or without rooting? It sucks having to decide which apps are least important.

I rooted my phone for the first time yesterday. I have not yet flashed any ROM's, all I have done so far is remove some of the stock apps. I have lost my data connection a couple times today, usually a reboot will solve it, however it hasn't on one or two occasions. It seems to have started happening after changing my boot animation to something closer to the 1.5 boot animation. Is it possible that this new boot animation is causing my data connection problems.

I don't know if it is possible, but actually I wouldn't see why not.
Can we do a grid view not just with ImageView but with a custom view.
I am trying to make a grid view of a view composed of an ImageView and a TextView.
I know that everything happens in my Adapter getView's function but I can't figure out how to do it.
CODE:................
My view has an id of R.id.fileUnitLayout. Let's say my inner TextView has an id of A and my inner ImageView has an id of B. How can I fill them ?

I'm new to the Android scene and was wondering what pro's (and con's if any) people are experiencing after rooting on the Desire (apps to sd being a good one). Looking through the forums I've noticed a lot of people experiencing data switching/connection problems, does the new radio file help with this?

Atrack Dog doesn't work too well in 2.1. I have 2.1 and the OTA patch for it. What is the best app updater now in 2.1? I like staying on top of the versions for the applications in my hero. What are you guys using.

My message apps (native Message and Handcent app) keep on reappearing, even when I kill them.
I've used the Settings > Applications > Running services, also Advanced Task Killer (by ReChild) and Task Manager (by Futon Redemption), but after a few minutes they'll reappear again.
This has only happened after I updated my Hero from 1.5 to 2.1. (I'm on Orange).
This seems to be a reoccurring theme of apps not being killed off after updating to 2.1. Others have reported Amazon MP3 and Skype apps not being killed off and even not uninstalling.
My battery life seems to be draining away now since the 2.1 update, and I'm thinking this may be the message-app-not-sleeping problem, hence my attempts at killing off the native message app.
Does anyone have any ideas to kill these apps off?

On the ROM update details, its states
Warning!
* Please note that this upgrade will erase any data stored on the phone. We recommend that you back up all your data before performing this upgrade.
what will be lost, contacts? photos? apps installed? im guessing SD card data will be unaffected.
