Its freaking Source Code! Not a ROM, or a ROM that has removed apks and pushed prebuilt apks form a nexus one into an update.zip!!
http://source.android.com/
sorry about the rant, i just don't want n00bs ignorantly throwing the acronym around for ROMs that aren't BUILT from AOSP.
I hope i put this in the right section Mods, i wasn't sure whether it should be in the Q&A because I already had the answer .
Please tell me you got an evo
What other news you got for the EVO community Darch? Did you say goodbye to the Hero, should we say welcome to ours

Probably not. But I would be really curious to see what happens if you claim the insurance and tell them that you "sold it"

Darch, just want to say I'm sorry about the mis-communication over the "get darch an evo fund", I felt like **** when you finally pm'd me
I think it's time we do it again. You would obviously be a tremendous asset to the EVO community and yahweh knows you deserve it!
Does anyone want to take on the charge? Should I do it again?
What say you guys?
*edit- not promoting fraud but I will say this: if you report a lost phone to asurion and get a replacement they do NOT blacklist the esn.. just saying
@darchstar: as AOSP is a software stack would it be acceptable to then say that all roms are built ON TOP of the AOSP system?
i am guilty of your claims and look to correct myself
Wasn't there a thread awhile back for a donation to buy you an EVO? I thought they reached the goal but I didn't follow it much past that really.

Yes, we raised the money. I couldn't get ahold of darch for like 2 weeks and like a complete asshole I assumed he had lost interest or decided to stick with his Hero. I didn't know how long I had to issue refunds without being charged a penalty and I didn't want to piss all the donators off
Again, I'm really sorry darch
I still got $30 on it if we want to do it again.

I just read as I googled "Sprint 2.1 update" I get all kinds of, Sprint releases Moment update 2.1, I thought we were getting the "official bits" first?
Why is it I always pick the phone that takes forever to get anything done on, lol...
Thank God for XDA!

and on topic, the moment will probably get the update i think first, its plain android and its much easier to port android 2.1 1:1 like that.
Im aware this is the HTC Hero thread, and I dont care about the moment, other than that fact that it seemed, and Im correcting myself I did not see anything that was officially stating that it was official, I was mearly stating that everything I saw, was saying that Hero would get the bits first, then moment,.

That wasn't to you specifically.. Just a joke about the forum.. Don't worry about it.. You can post whatever you want, this place is for you to learn...
All I can say is that it's about damn time. I've been loving 2.1 on my hero for the last couple weeks while my wife's moment has been crying itself to sleep. Looks like they've already rooted it over at SDX, so I'm gonna probably flash that whenever I get home from work.
Of course, what would be *really* nice is if Sprint put out something official for a change.

Has sprint ever officially done anything
This is crazy...
Just for you narrow-minded people...
Just because it is not "officially" released on your schedule, doesn't mean anything negative to a company...
Just look at Verizon and the Storm 1.. People kept hounding and hounding Verizon for updates for the phone, but when the update wasn't what they expected, go crazy that they should have done better QA...
It is Sprint's responsibility to make sure all issues are addressed and taken care of... Do you have any idea how many thousands of issues are brought in the testing phase???
Do you know how hard it would be to guarantee a million phones for retail, from a single demo(test) device??
Have a just a tiny bit of understanding and stop complaining....

Narrow minded? Is that would you consider Microsoft? They release software that has no business being in the market place, only to patch it every tuesday when admins like me all over the world find bugs and exploits, and errors and problems. Just release the damn thing, and do incrementals as needed. Take the M$ route and get us what we want!

I would take that with a grain of salt, if I had a dime for every article I saw that had a date in it, I'd have enough money to buy Google and get 2.1
It'll be out whenever Sprint is ready. It doesn't help that they are dragging their feet, most likely for their proprietary apps. I'm not holding my breath.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz02PDdkK2c
Just a tease for y'all. Zifnab and I hacked this up tonight.
Notice no USB cord? Notice phone going to sleep on it's own? Notice the lack of connection because my Eris is a POS and has a bad radio.
Yes thats nexus one lwp full working, in nexus launcher (launcher2), with an unpatched Gallery3D with rotation working.
Yes 3D is no longer an issue on our phone.
PS My rooted eris is now officially dead, there will be no more dev work from me unless I can obtain a replacement.
that is freaking AWESOME, ill keep an eye out for the release.
but on the other hand it sucks that ur eris finally bit the big one..
on another note tho where the hell can i get that live wallpaper. I CANT FIND IT!
i got about 13 other live walls..but that one.
That live wallpaper is one of the previous non working ones. Hence why this is special. You can get it out of our next release.
As always, http://www.zifnab06.net for more details
we still need to rewrite the lwps to work more smoothly.
this poor underclocked processor cant handle these bad boys all that well. but this is a great start

Well to further the cause, if you are in the states, I could use my warranty on your phone. Its not locked down to my serial or anything. It will cost 75$ to replace, maybe get some donations from here to help me pay for it . And its not the Verizon one, its through squaretrade. If you want me to look further into it, send me a PM and we can talk more.

Ahh a hole in the conspiracy theory. Is Lloyd hiding in the grassy knoll?
Seriously, you guys can be upset with HTC but, they could have gave some generic reason as to why they are locking their phones and eventually things would have died down. They wouldn't have really suffered from it.
Instead, they went in the other direction. I give them credit for that. All this does is keep me as a customer.
Setting a nice precedent here!

HTC CEO Confirms EVO 3D Will Have An Unlocked Bootloader One Way Or Another
Personally, I'm glad to hear it straight from him. Yeah, it will likely be an OTA, or an unlock tool, but this news reaffirmed my intentions to buy an E3D...which were shaky still even after the announcement yesterday.

Yes, sir. Absolutely. This means devs will be able to cook roms, kernels and any other goodies we are enjoying on the current Evo......and more.
Evo will get a update second quarter soon confirmed from HTC also they said they will post a list of phones that will not be locked. Some still are.
As I proceed with my Android4Autism plans I need to have an idea of the types of devices people are willing to donate. I may have to outsource ROM development depending on the device and whether or not I have time to put a working ROM together for each type.
So as the EVO 3D and GSII prepare for launch what will you be doing with your old device? Perhaps you have an old Hero or even a Moment. If you are willing to support this cause please indicate what device you are willing to or able to donate.
Remember the status of the ESN does not matter. These device will NOT be activated. They need to be in "decent" and working condition. Remember these are going to go into the hands of special needs kids so they do need to be perfect.
Also, I can use micro sd cards (any size) and phone cases. Extra battery chargers would be welcomed.
Please indicate in the poll what you are able to or willing to donate. I'm not ready to receive any donations yet so please just hang on to them and maybe shoot me a PM with your pledge and email address so I can contact you when I'm ready.

Maybe offer to Paypal them some cash? i know I'd chip in. Heck, right now I'll say I'll paypal $50 to the first person or team that gets me rooted.

I haven't heard about anyone working on it. I believe they are working on it for other devices.
Throw me down for $50 as well.
So, we've got $100 already...come on...lets offer some incentive for the devs to come back to the EVO Shift for a while...
Im telling you the devices they work on are related to the shift and they can port the same methods. They are already working on the shift and other devices related to it
So, therefore us offering a reward helps not only Shift owners but others too. Fantastic!

I remember the same talk regarding rooting 2.2.... everyone saying no one was working on it and then BAM! Root.
The thing is development doesn't get done on XDA. When it's done it gets posted to XDA. Just because you don't see it happening doesn't mean it ain't. Imagine you're a dev: Would you post that you're working on it if you're unsure if you can do it? It'd accomplish nothing but dissapointment.

reward
Last i checked theres a reward offer in the Evo forum also. It was up to 300 i think a couple days ago.
Nice! Hopefully once one is rooted, either one, the other one will be that much easier.
I know it is fustrating to wait I am among the many waiting for the same thing. That being said you never hear what the developers are working on because they dont want to give off any clues to htc as to what they are doing so HTC dont send a silent OTA to seal up any exploits that may gain root for us. But to the team that does get the job dont I will be donating to them definatly I cant wait to get my hotspot back for my Iconia Tablet when I am on the road.
