wtf???!!! i was using one then the page refreshed and its gone and now im stuck with a half done phone...what gives
Everything was merged into the main hero thread.
Thread locked and moved.
This Ridiculous
There were multiple threads, each taking a different approach , about various issues concerning the HERO rom. I know the mods are doing their job but this is extremely frustrating when a thread is actually helping you. I managed to get HERO rom working with Lawrence's thread and then I tried to push a new VK through another Tutorial thread but guess what ? It was removed and now my VK doesn't work. How am I suppose to ask questions? Where did the thread go?
If you are going to delete a thread, move it, or merge it, it would be extremely helpful if there is a sticky or something letting us know.
they were all saying the exact same thing in 40 dialects, it's repetitive useless information and doesn't really do anything but clutter the forums.
I dont see one thread with the information i am looking for? where is the consolidation? where are they merged?

I totally agree. This deleting of the threads is getting out of hand. I was almost done with the step by step instructions by lawrence when the thread was deleted!!
I guess the short answer to your question is don't venture into uncharted waters, i.e. messing around with a beta ROM that you have no idea how stable it will be, and not really having an understanding of exactly how to troubleshoot on your own. This is a developers forum, not a place to ask a thousand questions, each of which has either been asked or answered already.

that's my point. its too bad because the only reason i got hero to run was because of Lawrence thread. now where is it?

I dont want to ask questions; i just follow the developers own tutorials and thats it. but im forced to ask questions when the thread im using is removed.
JustAnotherCrowd - HERO ROM
There was a thread on a rom JustAnotherCrowd was about to release, looked real promising but now its been deleted.... What's up with that?
i swear people really? are you fing serious?
read the instructions, understand what they are doing, then do it. this stuff is beta, its not even suppose to work on the g1. if you want a stable os on your phone then dont fck with it.
creating threads crying about how somethingdidnt work just looks childish.
if you want to ask a question, goto the irc where people are there to help each other. creating thread after thread or posting after posting isnt going to solve your problems...
As someone who is NOT rushing off to unstable hero builds, I for one do like the cleaning up of those threads. If its hero related, it should be kept in hero thread. There was one hero thread, and 4 'how to fix hero' threads. This clutters up the forum. Everyone is rushing to an unstable build to get to rosie UI and not realizing flashing to hero requires some knowledge and following directions extra carefully.
Either people should STOP making new threads for fixing hero, or people actually read before flashing it to see EVERYTHING that is required to do before loading it.
Thanks mods.
mods are deleting **** for joke lol
stop creating threads asking where threads went.

and 'm sure JustAnotherCrowd is working hard getting his ROM together and it didn't seem fair that his post was deleted

Many threads have started to dissapear.
Not sure what's going on.
I'll to find new links for the ROM database.
If anybody has any links for the builds, please let me know.
Twitter accounts or anyway to contact the developer will do.

Hello!
I'm TheDeadCPU. I'm the new forum Moderator for the HTC Legend forum!
I thought I'd make this post to introduce you guys to me.
I'm just here to keep it clean here.
Anything you'd like stickied and such please just tell me in this thread!
Though this thread will be cleaned from such things after it's been fixed.
I hope you guys will like me!
Cheers,
TheDeadCPU
Hey TheDeadCpu,
Nice to have you around.
I think it would be most beneficial to have a sticky with the content of *something* along the lines of: "Beginners Guide: Rooting a HTC Legend".
This type of stickied thread is common in most other sub forums
Indeed is but there isn't a such thread. Though I might make such a thread.
Oh no, Just saw your signature in another thread. Our new moderator doesnt even use Legend. Desire user you be....
I won't hold that against you, good to have you around.
welcome, sir. We promise not to make your work difficult Ive gained a lot from my times here and look forward to better times.

I did have a Legend for a short time so I know the device a bit. And I'm mostly here to make sure the forum is clean and that the people here are happy.
But I do understand your concern! Lol.

good to meet you mate. Hope we don't make your job too hard.
Request to stickie the thread about debranding the legend - I'm still getting PM's about it lol.
thanks.
Good to have you around.
it would be good to see a summary of reported OTA releases? I'm finding it hard to figure out what is the latest as some of these only quote the last part of the version
ie perhaps the sticky could show this in the top part of the thread.
As you can see I have been a member since early summer last year. I have 0 posts, merely because I have not once needed to post for help, or questions. I guess I am here to officially say hello and thank you to everybody. Before froyo, I started out with a stock 1.5 from sprint and updated to a leaked 2.1 FW and rooted the correct way, with command prompt and ADB. Flashed Flipz' fresh 2.0d on up to 2.4.0 was really happy with a custom 2.1 sense rom. Then I finally started to look into CM6 soon after the 2.4 incremental Flipz released. Lets just say I fell in love CM and have not had any problems. Everybody on the hero and eris (buddy as one) forums have helped me a lot. You guys are great and again thank you so much for turning a crap phone into a fun, fast performing, stable phone.
i know what do you mean....everybody here is so helpful...great community
I Also Agree Guys...

+1 to that... very few do that.

I'll throw in a thanks too. Just obtained the hero about a week ago. Started from 2.1 to the CM6.1 first only to find out camera among other things were not working properly. Then in reading a discussion on CM7 nightlies for the hero and how they were nonexistent at this time, someone mention the aospmod and XDA. Was easily able to get that working on my hero also with a few other mods.
Love the community so far and the great support for the Hero! I plan on having this phone for a good long while seeing as 4g is not available anywhere in my state from Sprint.
Keep up the good work guys!
Hell yeah! We're happy to have you guys here.
I recently installed 2.5.7 and most everything is great. My current issue is that without GPS turned on, nothing will read my location. Things like Flixster and the News/Weather app that came with the handset. Do I need to download something that was taken out ala Swype or Voice Search?

Oh, you were in the fission thread here within the android development sub section and it wouldn't let you post? or were you trying to add a new thread with your issue? if it's the first one then I think there is a flaw with XDA's new posting scheme.
Yep, that's the thread I was in. I've been frequenting it for a while now, I just never needed to post anything. When I click on reply in that thread, I get this.
Goldfoot, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. Please Read: New members (those with fewer than 10 posts) are not permitted to post to development-related forums. The developer forums are intended for experienced users and developers to discuss ways to improve technical aspects related to ROMs and Software. While you may be an expert, we ask ALL users to avoid posting questions about using or installing ROMs and software in the Development Forums.

Oh. Well I would assume a reinstall of the ROM will fix it. Or maybe even try SBF'ing your phone if you came from a different ROM or have flashed many ROMs and haven't SBF'd yet.
If someone else hasn't posted anything about it then it's most likely with your set up and reinstalling usually fixes things. Maybe even PM Angdroid but it seems like he hasn't been on recently so...see if we can't get some posts under your belt in this thread discussing the problem so you can post in the Fission thread.
Also if you have a theme on sometimes reverting to a version of your setup with out that theme might fix an issue.
Well, I fixed the issue. This wasn't a huge issue so I didn't really look into it but a few days ago I was going to use some app that needed location info. It took me to the location settings of the phone, which I'd been to many times before, and I still had it checked to use wireless networks. Just to see what would happen I turned it off and then reloaded the app. It took me back to the settings page and I re-checked the option. After that it brought up the screen where I agree to allow the phone to determine my location and now it works.
Conclusion: The ROM has the option checked by default, but this is an issue because it doesn't give you a chance to actually agree to the terms, and thus the option isn't actually active. At least, that's how it was on mine.
hey guy just thought u might like to get ur hands on this i say this in the hd2 android development xda section of this site maybe u guy well have some luck with thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965251its the honeycomb system image dump

was the OP not good info? i didnt see the thread anywhere in the dev section and a XOOM sytstem dump seems like dev worthy material... i know i would have never seen it if it was not posted... i dont spend to much time in the HD2 section, only this one. i get that it was posted already in another section but isnt that why there are specific sections on this forum? otherwise the first post of the system dump would be packed full all the people with all the diffrent phones and tablets. and i know i dont go searching all the other subforum stuff for GTAB related info...
so off my soap box now... lol thanks for the find and for the post!! cant wait to see what this brings us!!
I've been mucking about with the system image, trying to get it to run, from a VEGAn base, not been successful so far. But my experience with ROM devving has been scant, to say the least
Basically I tried pushing the xoom system files straight on top of a VEGAn install, which ran out of space! Then tried just the xoom system, which fit, but rebooted to recovery and "erasing MSC" came up.
Then tried a mix of both, which had permissions errors (no +x on /system/bin), which when fixed, led to a reboot to recovery.
And then my lunch break was over, so I had to get back to real work Will do some reading tonight (Now + 4 hours or so), and a more thorough look at how VEGAn hangs together, and how stuffing a honeycomb /system into it will help us out.

Thats why I said the third thread posted today about the same thing. It has been moved from the development thread multiple times because its not development. Without a boot.img this system dump is completely worthless. There still files that are needed from nvidia that are not in this dump.

ah i see, i didnt understand your reply. So the system dump cannot offer anything from a dev standpoint over the SDK that we already have?

I didn't know the other two threads were moved? I was wondering why they were in the general section because like the OP I was unaware what was needed to cook or port a ROM.
This would have been nice to know right away.

If we had a boot img yes but by itself it doesnt do much. Sorry but as a regular user here at xda I get tired of seeing the same thread started over and over and its usually by n00bs who think they've discovered the wheel. I'm not putting you in that group as I can tell by your questions you are genuinely interested and are thinking before you post. I promise you that several of us have links to places where info shows up first and that as soon as there is a rom worth using it will be posted her as sticky for everyone to try. Have some patience and let the devs do their work.........or should I "gtfo"
EDIT:I am not a dev
How they build a rom to NOOK without Boot Image
I know XOOM running Tagra 2. The first vision of SDK compatible for that Nooks processor. But however they run 3.0 on Nook. But now we have full system dump running on Xoom. Why we can't do like Nook guy's?
Because the Nook Honeycomb is made from a preview SDK without any optimizations made for Tegra 2. The Nook barely runs it.
We need a dump from a Tegra 2 device or access to the AOSP HC source library-neither of which are currently available.

If you end on the irc you will find I'm one of the first people to help someone. These constant new threads with the same subject matter are just cluttering up the forum and making it impossible for noobs to learn anything because the real information is buried in endless....THE HONEYCOMB XOOM DUMP IS OUT.....WHY DON"T WE HAVE A HONEYCOMB ROM YET!!!!!!!......threads. Or one of the 100 threads started asking how to install clockwork or a rom. Most questions can be answered in the sticky posts alone but no one wants to read. They want they info spelled out to them personally. This doesn't go for everyone but its certainly intended for the "honeycomb is on the Nook, why not on the GTab now that we have a system dump" crowd.

I agree on the need to read... I have read and read, I haven't asked because I was learning slowly about all things android. For me it is hard to ask questions for fear of being called a "noob" and told to "read and search". I appreciate what those who know have done for people like me.
Glad to see you did'nt leave frogman!
I'm very glad to see that everyone's excited, but this is not going to be an easy task, at least not for me (I can't speak for the other devs and modders of whom I bow to their collective genius).
A system dump is a start, but it's not the whole picture. It's like putting together a new bicycle that's sort of the same as the old kind, but with no manual and only half the parts. Trust me, I've already tried and for longer than you might know - so far no dice.
You want to help us out? If you plan to buy one of these tomorrow, try to root it and get us a boot.img. Or the unlocked bootloader. Or a full nvflash dump would be wonderful (that's how I got the Adam mod to work on a GTAB - not because I'm a genius but because I was darn lucky that NI was forced to release an nvflash dump). I'll even take an init.rc - anything would be appreciated.
But chants of "what don't we have a port yet?" over isn't going to help us at all (and you know who you are). Seriously, I would greatly appreciate it if you would please stop. Thanks in advance.

dude, you've been clamoring on for over a month. It'll be ready when it's ready. Learn to dev yourself or stfu and have a little patience. Pissing off the devs that do this as a hobby will get you nowhere.
