HTC Hero :: Possibility To Re-map Hardware Buttons?
Sep 16, 2009
I was trying out the Hero this afternoon, and I noticed that the 'back' button is a bit awkward placed.It felt like it was hard to reach with my thumb when holding the phone in one hand (the rightside hand). The Magic has the back button closer to the trackball, which is much easier to access.Anyone else have the same experience? Or am I the only one that uses this button quite often?Is there a possibility to re-map the hardware buttons?

I rooted a few months back and was running CM6.1 and I recently went back to stock to see how it was. But now if I try to root using UniversalAndroot, it fails everytime. I tried versions 1.6.1 and 1.6.2

Does the web browser on the Hero have the little zoom in/out buttons like other Android phones? Is there anything like this? The reason I ask is that multitouch, while very cool, doesn't look very practical when you're using the phone with one hand as that only really leaves the thumb free for key pressed and screen touches.

Is it possible to change the default arrangement of the Android Gallery? What i meant is can we make the Gallery in a curved path, where the images will be along the curved path and the same time it has all the properties of the Android gallery(which appears to be center locked and horizontal right now..)?

This thread will probably be best answered by devs who have the full knowledge of how our phones' internal 'stuff' works. But anyone with a decent idea/answer is welcomed to enlighten us.
With all the excitement about the 2.1 update and rooting the Droid and using custom ROMs, overclocking..etc..what exactly is it that allows a person to perform such actions? I've read on this site and a few other places that Motorola will be 'locking' the ability to root our phones with the 2.1 update.
One of Motorola's support pages has a posting from some lady that stated just because the OS is open source, does not mean that the devices have to be open to user configuration beyond what the manufacturer has available for us. She went on to say that when a certain business decision is made to allow for such access, it will be made based on certain factors....
I can't find the link to that page anymore. It was posted on Facebook the other day, so forgive me for lack of a link to show what I'm talking about in above paragraph.
I guess my real question is what do they do to the phones OS that blocks this ability to root?
And of course, if they can lock it up, can't some devs just 'unlock' it again? I have minimal to no knowledge of Linux and the ability to create/modify system files on these phones so I am leary about unrooting my phone to see what the 2.1 update will encompass. Yet I want to, just to see how well it works and what it offers.

Wondering if this is possible. I am trying to go to paperless flight check in for my airline. Continental sends me email with url link to my boarding pass. (I have HTC Incredible). Problem is, I cant download or save the boarding pass to by phone. Instead I need to rely on connecting to that link from email when I go thru security. This is very risky if link is down or 3G signal is weak. Wondering if theres anyway to download/save the web page in advance?

I'm calling this tasks:
CODE:.........
And here are the two TimerTasks:
CODE:........
As you can see, I just call a method after 5 resp. 10 seconds. From time to time I would like to pause the "countdown". This means i want that the time until the 5 seconds are passed isn't running anymore. And then in a later point in time, I would like to resume it. How can I achieve that?

This is what the Java site www.java.com says: "KVM, the virtual machine for mobile devices, is the counterpart of JVM (Java virtual machine). It is used to run applets and applications written with Java technology on mobile devices. KVM must be installed by the manufacturer. It is NOT available for download or installation by consumers". Now Android has a customized virtual machine called DVM (Dalvik Virtual Machine). Can we compare it with KVM? Wonder if we can further reprogram DVM to incorporate features of KVM to run applets on Android? Same goes for Blacberry, is there a possibility?

I'm not very experienced in Java. Is there an easy possibility to get a border and round edges around a LinearLayout? (perhaps with XML parameters)
Or do I have to draw my own widgets.

As far as I know, if an owner of an android smartphone decides to flash/update his phone by not using the official ways (by smartphone via wi-fi or by pc via Kies), then he permanently loses a possibility to update his phone officially.
I know that because I used to have Galaxy S2 and installed a custom firmware, although there was a trick when you use some stick to have your phone "official" again.
So, I'm not comfortable with the "latest" android OS 2.3.6, S6802XXLF2 / Gingerbread.XXLF4 My phone is GT-S6802 Ace Duos. I'm not comfortable due to the fact that the default browser doesn't have an exit button, so I have to resort to task manager in order to kill the process of internet browser - which is an oversight by android devs.
But I know, that in some new firmwares the default internet browser has an exit button, so I'm wondering if there's any firmware to which I can upgrade without losing the possibility to update my smartphone afterwards.
Also, I take it, for every smartphone there's certain firmware version, right?
For example, for Galaxy S3 it's Android 4.0.4
While for Galaxy Ace Duos it's Android 2.3.6
And the OS of Galaxy S3 can't be installed onto Ace Duos, right?
This is sad, why can't Samsung make one universal OS for its smartphones? Does Windows Mobile has the same issue? Or is it universal just like PC Windows OS?

Is there any possibility i can disconnect/reconnect from my Gmail account ? Gmail is connected, all the time !
The Facebook application offers that possibility, gmail does not. I am afraid of loosing the phone or something, and that some stranger may access all my emails !

I have a HTC HD2 which had WinMo before. Long time ago I changed it to Android. Couple of days ago, I wanted to change to a new Android version so I deleted the whole OS on my Android to install a new one.I got stuck on the Magdlr option because I couldn't go select any option. I realized then, that my call button is broken! how it is possible to install Android, because WinMo sucks!!

I am not able to find out the perfect layout(viewgroup) to place four buttons as shown in the attached image. Basically, i want to place four buttons near the top/left/bottom/right edge of the screen. AbsoluteLayout helped, but it is deprecated (It is also better to avoid AbsoluteLayout as it is not very flexible for orientation changes)

I've noticed the Home and Menu buttons are slightly in further than the other buttons, possibly indicative of that prolonged use could affect their stability. I've only had this phone since yesterday and haven't used it too much but I'm worried about this already The Home button particularly, in which I use the most, is sinking

A while ago, the buttons on the earphones that came with my phone just stopped working. Now they no longer accept an incoming call, stop music, skip to next track, go back a track etc. They don't seem to have any functionality. I've tried restarting the phone and things to no avail.

I've looked all over and I couldn't find any posts regarding this, but are there any music programs that allow you to use a hardware button to advance a track? For example, in my BB Curve I could hard press the volume up button to move to the next track, and hard press the volume down to go back a track (without even looking at it or taking it out of my pocket)...
I dig the stock Hero music app the best I think out of Mixzing, Rockon, Wikitunes, or whatever - mostly because it is in the lock screen where I can advance to the next tune without having to swipe in first...
But its still a pain in the neck, when I'm on a running on a treadmill to pick up the phone and hold it up and press the correct button on the glass, as opposed to just reaching in my pocket and pressing a hardware button like I could on my BB Curve, or any other MP3 player...

I returned my HTC hero after a week because it had a dead pixel, but I also noticed dust under the lower portion of the screen right above the buttons on bottom. I use a otterbox commuter case while has covers for the dock and head phone jack, so Im assuming the dust came in between the buttons and the bottom of the screen.
