New sub-forum for CDMA Hero

Since Sprint was so wise to keep the same name, I'm predicting very soon that this forum is going to get very messy. Would a moderator care to create a separate sub-forum to bypass the problem?

bump, the phone is out now going to need subforum real soon

Wouldnt eveything that gets done to the EU Version of the Hero work on the Sprint Hero. Or at least most of it as it runs a newer version supporting cdma. not necessaly 1.6

I second the request for a CDMA subforum. Between rooting discussions and custom cooked roms, we NEED a subforum.

+1 on this

agreed.

Yes, please make a sub forum! Just got my hero yesterday and I'm loving it (came from a tp2.) I would love to read on all the cool tweaks for this device.

agreed. lets get this thing moving.

Yeah let's do this. Maybe some of the awesome techies here at xda-dev can solve the EvDo issue that a bunch of us Sprint Hero users are having.

yea we need the cdma subforum..came from a tp...im a windows guy, but i think i like android better now

I agree. Just picked p the Sprint HTC Hero, looking to see how i can hack into this bad boy!

Yep lets get one going. I was all ready to root this bad boy and realized that root is diff on the Sprint from the EU version!

Agreed..
We definitely need a sub-forum....I'm lovin my hero!

Picked up my hero today from the Sprint store. I'm coming from the pre and thus far I'm liking the hero much better. Hopefully we will see some interest here in the CDMA version so we can enjoy some of the hacking goodness.

bump bump bump. just switched from the touch pro. lovin my hero but im gonna need hacks and cracks and ROMs to keep me happy and entertained..
please!! cdma hero sub-forum please!!

Bumpity Bump for my new Sprint Hero as well. Bring it on!
Thanks to the mods!

I've read it's a real-time update or what coverage you're in, or had something to do with the PRI and/or PRL version. I haven't been in a rev A area yet so Idk.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents that we need a sub-forum for cdma

Actually, the Rev A issue isn't one at all, rather it's a "display" issue that HTC needs to fix.
Basically, if you're in a Rev A area, you're getting Rev A speeds, it just isn't displaying it.

Devs & Roms

Any devs looking to get this device?
One its acquired, what tools are needed to do a ROM dump/backup?

i plan on getting an incredible as well, i would be happy to do anything i can to help get a custom rom for this

I just hope someone can unlock the 720p recording. I also wish someone can maybe change the the audio when recording to AAC. Where basically having another Omnia HD problem.

I am no dev, but I am very good with Lynx, so I plan to become a dev for the incredible. I want to bring good to this Incredible Device.

Basically if Paul is successful completing the root of the Desire, the Incredible should be a shoe in. The Desire is half rooted so to speak.

I just put in my Pre-order and will be pulling a Kitchen/ROMs together once we get root....
I worked on the Eris Root and that was pretty damn tough...but we got that done as well as rooting the HTC Tatoo in the process
So I will have ROMs/Mods in the future.....as well as another couple Dev friends of mine that are heading over as well!

Looking to jump the T-Mobile ship and get this phone as well. Sweet phone.
And invisiblek, small world.

as this phone had google branding on the back, will this phone have an unlocked bootloader like the N1 and moto droid?

I wasn't aware that the MotoDroid could be unlocked in the same manner as the N1.
To the best of my knowledge, Verizon has no plans of letting any phone they release be rootable out of the box. They have the most stringent controls of any network carrier and given the size of their network in the US, they don't have to compromise.

HTC Incredible
I'll be receiving mine wednesday, hopefully will get into this thing very deep, willing to help, count me in.

Just placed my pre-order yesterday. Can't wait to root it

I might end up doing some dev work on this thing... we'll see
Can't wait to jump from my current 400mhz/128mb ram vogue to this!

Nice. I'd love to see some of the Vogue Devs working on the Incredible. I had a great run with my Vogue but its time to move on

The moto droid does not have an unlocked bootloader like the n1. and this will more than likely follow the same suit as the desire and legend, so whatever paul did to root the desire and legend will more than likely work on the incredible. hold tight guys, im hoping to start developing on the incredible as soon as i can afford one

Liked some of the work you did on the vogue/kaiser stuff. Do you also work on bootloader unlocking?

I haven't before, but depending how long it takes the other guys, I might dig in. All depends how functional it is with the stock rom

Last day with my Hero

Getting my Epic tomorrow and CANNOT WAIT

cool device, but peeking into the dev forum for the epic it seems that there isn't a whole lot going on yet, looks like they just got root, no custom roms or any other cool things yet..

I expect it wouldn't take long for other stuff to start showing up there. The phone isn't even available to the public until tomorrow, so why would they have much there yet?
Enjoy the Epic! I don't like the design/look of it, but to each his own right?

So how much are you going to sell me that hero for? =P

good luck with a samsung product, no way id buy that phone at launch without any custom roms. i do know ive seen a ton of evo's for sale on craigslist the past few days. i may call sprint today to see if they can bump up my upgrade from november so i can get an evo, i heard they are in stock again.
btw we don't really new a new thread every time someone leaves the hero.

MrBobrowitz's CM7 CrackFlasher Builds

Well here we go!
After what I saw today with Protekk (sad to see him go), I am offering up my services and time for building daily builds of CM7 for the Mecha a.k.a, the THUNDERBOLT.
I will try my best, as he did, to have daily builds, but for me it will most likely be nightly only because of my current schedule.
I am currently cleaning out my build environment and re-syncing as I am writing this so hopefully by tonight I can have a build up if not tomorrow
I will be hosting my files from here:
Http://www.onix-android.com/cmcrackflashers (Nothing here yet do not worry)
Here's to the Android Community!
-MrBobrowitz

Not to say that your efforts are useless, but aren't we basically going nowhere without a kernel source? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm really grad that you picked this up if I'm wrong. I'm just wondering if your wasting resources compiling something when we won't have radios until a kernel (like I assume, but can be wrong). In either case, thank you and will be flashing as soon as I see that we can call and text, even if there is no data at all!

You are correct...somewhat.
Since we do not have source (yet) there are some things that will not work as well as they could be. That is not to say we wont get source soon.
HTC is usually pretty good with this.
This thread is also aimed down the line as well, being a crackflasher myself sometimes buildbot will go down and we still want out nightly build

thanks for stepping in.

Well in that case, thank you very much. I have to admit I was a pretty bad/good crackflasher. 3+ builds a day on my inc. I've been hearing that it'll be between 90-120 days from reports and emails coming from HTC regarding the kernel. Hopefully they won't keep holding out on us. I'm eagerly waiting to rip it apart and start patching my own kernels. You have a dedicated flasher as soon as we get that. If I can get vmware running and my dev environment back up I'll help you and compile opposite to you and get more builds out for those that want.

Thanksbfor your efforts dude! I enjoyed your ROMs back in the OG Droid days. Can't wait!

I can't believe the community support this phone is getting
Thanks in advance for your efforts

I remember mine quite well. Had it for 3 months and loved it to death. I sold it to my friend as his old clameshell broke, and he really had an eye on my phone. I knew it was well tested, and exactly what he wanted, so I reluctantly upgraded. I still miss it very much, but I know it's in good hands. CM7 can't come fast enough though...

Keep 'em happy! Let me know if you need help with anything, I'm still active in AndIRC.

well htc has 22 days to release the kernel source. so untill then i guess were just having fun and waiting.

Or the Droid Eris. A lot of the devs here (jcase and I among them) got their start on the Eris.

It was an actually just an "HTC Incredible". The phone was in no way a droid. Verizon dumped so much advertising into the droid name and it is so well known they only marketed it as a "droid" to boost sales.
Check the box, the phone settings about phone, and the htc website. Verizon is the only place you'll find droidn linked to the icredible

Do not create teaser threads IE Thread without ROM. PM me when it is uploaded and ready and I will unlock the thread.

My Goodbyes .

I know I didn't contribute to making this device a success but I just want to tell you devs in this forum thank you. You guys have been so awesome this pass year and you guys have taught me so much about life in an odd way. As I get ready to give up this device I just wanted to let you all know you are all awesome and I'm glad that I stuck around long enough to see new devs rise ( Dastin , Matt). That just goes to show you, this phone never dies. I will always remember you guys names and all just don't ever forget me. and I will always be lurking somewhere in the shadows .

See ya, you will never be forgotten!

long live the heroc!

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'm posting here. I'm outta here and by here I probably mean all of xda because I went to the dark side. Gonna try an iPhone for a while. May be back on Android after 2 years, but maybe by then we'll all have cochlear implants and not need phones at all.
Thanks to all the helpful people here and of course the devs who kept my interest in my old hero for so long.

Your gonna go from the guy who had a the feed of when a new cm nightly was ready to an iPhone? You gonna jailbreak it? Haha
I'm moving on as well. After 2 full years with a hero I now have a E4GT and it's everything I dreamed a phone could be. But like so many others, the hero started me on all this rooting non sense and it will always be "my first". Thanks to all the devs, jaybob, aosp, nfx, toast, darch, zenulator, and all those guys who moved on along time ago. Maybe I'll se you around.

Yep. I just reclaimed the twitter feed that was the HeroC bot the other day too since they aren't doing nightly builds anyway. I like the iPhone (fast, well built, I love it's flat on both sides too) but it's too restrictive and I'm a little frustrated by that. It'd be nice if they had a similar "share intent" api. I'm probably going to jailbreak it but I'll wait a few weeks until they get the bugs worked out. The jailbreak isn't out yet but should be any day now.
