You also need to wait. Before you know it we are going to have roms flowing out our ears. I am working as hard as I can to learn how to make kickass roms so hopefully I can release something good soon

Actually, after doing all the above, I was kinda looking for other things to do I am loving the tethering though. Thought there would be a place for apps that are not in the market.

im having the same problem. i dont know what to do with my phone while waiting for everyne makes awesome custom roms. im just waiting to figure out how to get it fully optimized with everything thats already ready for it

Get a development environment setup and write some apps! Download the GSM Kernel and learn how to compile and tune it (use Teknologic's changelog as a guide perhaps) and prepare for the eventual release of the CDMA Kernel (or even the 2.0 Kernel...what? I can dream!)! It's fun to prepare for such things and test!

Thanks Much!

Chuckhriczko, please keep up your 'good' work!
I used your instructions for rooting my hero, a little confusing but helped me to better understand linux procedures.
jjjjayd13,

Lets try to get Google maps with nav on the hero. They got it working in the Dream forum with some directions. Let me get my backup ready......

Where can i find more themes? I did the clear one and its ok, but not much to it. Also what is so special about modaco rom other than u can save apps to sd

go try out droid explorer and desktop sms...you can get desktop sms stand alone, or it comes as part of droid explorer...both took about 5 seconds to get working and work perfectly.
This is the thread I started about it

if you don't have the market, you probably forgot to/need to re-flash the google apps zip.
aside from that...you should be hanging out here -> Evo Forum
Start by looking at the [noob guide] and these FAQs.
Any other problems/questions search around in the Evo Q&A or General sub-topics and you should find what you need

What now? you should ..idk same with me. Maybe just hope for android to come out with a youtube app that works. (it can't be easy to make one tho)

I have the BlueAnt S4 and it cannot voice dial, says it needs Andriod 2.2 . Looks like the Hero will not get that from Sprint/Google, so will a rooted phone with 2.2 be able to make blutooth voice dial ? Thanks, Ted O.

Yeah a rooted 2.2 should work just fine with ur headset. I don't see why your headset isn't working fine now to be honest.
sent from my hero aosp2.2 cause aospcm7 2.3 was not as fast or stable for me.

BlueAnt states that, for the S4, andriod 2.2 is required to do voice dialing.

G2 rooted, next myTouch4g???

So who's gonna do it first? You can always claim stupidity and bring it back to t-mobile for a replacement. Personally, I can't afford the downtime because I'm on call. :-/

If no one tries it by tomorrow I will do it. At work right now and have the kids tonight.

I would suggest not tryin to perm root until we have specific directions for our phone. It won't be too long until that happens so just be patient.

Good news and great work to the G2 team. Shouldn't take too long for us!

I am not 100% sure about this but we may need the kernel source for this. If I understand they way they got WP off was by using a kernel module to power down the emmc and then another to reinitialize it, we could need espresso source to make it work. I may be wrong though and someone may have it done by tomorrow.......

i'll wait for a script to be released to the market

double post

Don't try this with the G2 method. They're loading a kernel module that's kernel specific if I'm not mistaken. We need a specific module for the MT4G.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

They did a awesome job!! Now everyone with the MT4G needs to bug HTC for the Kernel source code for our phones! Then we can recompile this the day its released and have S-Off on the MT4G. This will also let us create the overclock module for non rooted people. I cannot wait to see what this phone can really do!
Thanks to everyone in #G2root!!

Alright, I developed the effit attitude and figured if I screwed it up I would just play stupid. (I'm from Kentucky so the stereotype and accent work in my favor sometimes. )
I tried both kernel modules (wpthis-pre-ota.ko and wpthis-ota.ko) and both gave me an EXEC FORMAT ERROR. I ignored the errors and drove on with the instructions. DD'ing the hboot-eng.img went flawlessly and sync appeared to work b/c it just gave me a prompt waiting for the next command.
After reboot everything stayed the same S=on was still laughing at me. Sooooo, nogo.
All I got from this was the errors. No brick!

I read a post saying they reversed engineered it before HTC released the kernel source. One way or another we'll get it.

The EXEC FORMAT ERROR was because of mismatching kernel versions! We have to have one made against the HTC Glacier(MyTouch 4G) kernel source, which has not been released by HTC.
Also, the Engineering HBoot is specific to the G2. You could've bricked if you weren't careful.

Just figured I'd give it a shot. Nothing ventured nothing gained right.
Anyway, I figured it wouldn't work before I tried it due to different kernel builds. If I am looking at the two phones correctly they both have 2.6.32 kernels just different builds of it. And the architecture of the phones should be very similar based on the use of the qualcomm chips.
Could have bricked the phone, yes, but also could have (slight chance) worked without having to recompile anything.

Never use OCLF, it's dangerous.
Just flash a kernel containing it, it will give you lots of other advantages too.

the thing is i have wifi version P1010 i dont think i can flash it so idk....

Same experience here. I'm thinking whether could this have to do with the firmware?
I remember I used to have KC2, and the vibration feedback was still there (or so I think). Now I have KB5, feedback was gone.
I'm speculating here. Wish I had a copy of my previous firmware to verify.

dumb question but i am pretty new to these fourms i come from SBHacker.net but i moved to a diffrent set of skills because of my toys HD7, G-tab-p1010,
yes and its not just the tabs phones and so forth have issue to. i think someone needs to get ahold of the developer of OCLF and mention this BUG....
but what is or does the KC2 or the KB5 mean?????

[Q] Help-Darktremors Apps2SD

Hello, I am currently using Quantum Rom 2.0 but I switch all the time. I have flashed the dt a2sd and when I try to run it, it always fails. After searching the actual thread about this I see that some mods have to be done to the kernel to get it to work on Epic 4g. Also I see that the creator of ViperRom has gotten it to work. Can anyone explain to me what needs to be done to enable this to run on mine, and any rom? What needs to be there/changed/ and how? Thank you

I'm not certain that it works properly on ViperRom. I and a couple others were not able to run it properly, but for some reason could not get any answers in the thread. I don't think anyone has it properly implemented in their Froyo roms yet.

Cannot Update to Froyo because of Rooted Wildfire, How I Unroot? Cant use RUU?

I rooted my HTC Wildfire using Unrevoked (latest version) couple days ago, just found out Froyo avalible but cannot update because of this.
I am in UK on Vodaphone Wildfire (Unlocked to use o2 sim)
I cannot find the factory RUU for Vodaphone UK?
I tried some 2.2 update RUU but come up with customer ID error
Have I lost out on froyo?
I got my vodaphone_buzz ota downloaded (50mb avg) but cant use it
Any help would be very much appriciated
*** Im not fussed if i lose root, infact i rather not have it tbh the hassle it gave***

Flash it with Wildpuzzle?
You could flash it with a new ROM like wildpuzzle or similar if you want sence. You can see this thread for available ROM's:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822181
I followed this guide to flash the ROM:

Hope it helps

howzit bud!
it's going to suck heavy for you if you download the actual froyo update, because you wont be able to root your phone again (unrevoked hasn't come out with an update that works on froyo)
Flash the SUnaAaBh v1.1.. it's basically the same and it's getting great results

SUnaAaBh v1.1 is just as unstable as every other custom ROMs. It crashed everytime I ran it. Its just publicised incorrectly by the guy as best ROM. If you actually read the post you might find the self-praise disgusting, maybe.

Its up to you in the wild puzzle thread there is an un touched froyo update. Just flash it like any other custom rom.

I am pretty sure you are doing something seriously wrong. I have tested most of the custom ROM's out there (Currently on WildPuzzle coz I kinda prefer LWP and Sense), and, they have never (hardly, if ever), crashed on me.
Besides, I just checked the Sunnabh thread, it hardly looks like self praise. Most of them have just said the exact thing the ROM author claims his ROM does, that it is stable. That said, if you are not satisfied, kindly move on, and, dont bad mouth the ROM author. He is not obliged to provide you with "stable" (as per your definiton) ROMs.
Get the OTA FroYo update, and enjoy your Wildfire.
Cheers

Then what's all the patches for, mate ?
You picked the "works perfect" posts and quote it in first page.
How about I quote all the "not working" posts and "do you have a patch" posts ?
Your work should speak not the keyboard. Its totally unwarranted from your side to do anything like that. I have never seen any other developer design such a page.
PERIOD? Ya, period.

If I read the thread correctly, I think it is written as "ADDON PACKAGES and INSTALLERS". And, I guess, the name should be enough for you to know the meaning and the reason for the "patches", i.e., they are not bugfix packages or anything, but, additional functionalities which are upto the end user whether they want to install it or not.
It's not that if you dont get the patches, the ROM will crash on you a thousand times (If you do everything properly ,which, most of them have).
That apart, patch requests are again requests to improve the functionality and add convenience features, not bugfixes, which I came across the thread.

You Please do that show me all the non working posts.. but make sure those posts were there coz of the ROM and not because someone did an error in installing if you have guts find all the non working posts and show me.. and for your info most posts are requests for addons .. Now dont make me angry i am not forcing you to use it..
you have not seen any other developers design such a page ..hmm thanks i know i am a pioneering person .. Huh have you seen alpha centuari ? does that mean it does not exist .. And Learn some etiquette please..

Thnx mate.. I dont understand what is his problem..

ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC:
I noticed that the app called "SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse" (google it) has an option for unrooting...I haven't personally tried it (ended up using Unrevoked Linux LIVECD to root).
Let us know how it goes.

I noticed everyone is just focusing on flashing the wildfire with custom rom. Isn't there other ways like faking the signature so the update can still be installed?
I have the same problem, when I tried the OTA update it fails with message "invalid signature". I guess the rom installer is checking the signature of the currently installed OS.
Maybe one solutions is to restore the original HTC 2.1-update1 rom then run the OTA froyo update. Then in the near future, there will be root solutions for Wildfire froyo.
